Chapter 95 I Redeem You
"Hey, you, come here!"
After Yang Huan got the exact information from Zhao Yuanfang, he was no longer in a hurry and stopped paying attention to Jin Dayong.
He looked at the agent named Park who had been hiding outside the hotel door and watching for a long time.
Long Wu immediately walked up to her, grabbed her collar like an eagle catching a chick, and pushed her in front of Yang Huan.
Yang Huan was sitting on a bench on the roadside, crossing his legs and looking at the agent named Park.
The latter was trembling with fear, and looked at Jin Dayong for help, but this rich second-generation was only willing to talk to Lin Yoona when he coveted her. How could he care about her life or death now?
"You were the one who told him about my situation, right?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.
The agent named Park nodded first, then shook his head.
"Don't try to lie to me, otherwise..."
As soon as Yang Huan finished speaking, Long Wu came behind her and clenched his fists, and immediately there was a crackling sound of bones joining together.
The agent named Park was immediately frightened out of his wits.
"I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it!" She was so scared that she burst into tears.
Lin Yuner, who was standing by, couldn't bear to see her miserable appearance, so she stepped forward and said, "Master Huan, please don't embarrass Miss Park. I believe she has no choice."
"She treated you like that, and you still want to plead for her?"
Lin Yuner looked at her agent responsibly and said, "She is a little fierce and overbearing, but without her, we wouldn't be where we are today. So no matter what, I am still very grateful to her."
Yang Huan raised the corner of his mouth, but said nothing. Instead, he looked at the agent named Park.
"I'm going to ask you a question. Please answer truthfully. If the answer pleases me, I will let you go."
"Okay, okay, you ask, you ask!" The agent named Park nodded immediately.
Yang Huan was quite satisfied with her attitude. "How will your company handle what happened tonight?"
Lin Yoona's body trembled when she heard this and she looked at Yang Huan in disbelief.
Although the question was not asked, everyone knew that Yang Huan was concerned about Yoona.
Seeing that the agent named Park was a little hesitant, Yang Huan snorted coldly, "Tell the truth!"
“Yes!” The manager was almost scared to death. “The company has rules. Usually, for artists who don’t obey, the lighter ones will be suppressed or put on ice for a period of time, and the more serious ones will be banned directly.”
When the agent said this, Yang Huan clearly felt that Lin Yuna beside him was trembling with fear.
He knew a little about the Korean entertainment industry. It was said that the management companies were very harsh in their treatment of artists.
But it is no wonder, because before every artist makes his debut, he must undergo long-term training by the company, and the agency will also invest a lot of effort and resources in some potential artists. Once the artist becomes famous, he will naturally try every means to recover the previous investment costs.
At the end of the day, this is a business and artists are commodities.
"Is there no way to avoid this? Or can't we just buy out the contract?"
Li Zhushan, who had been silent the whole time, immediately smiled bitterly after hearing what Yang Huan said, "Mr. Yang Huan doesn't understand our Korean entertainment industry at all."
"In Korea, artists have to go through training before they debut, but there are bound to be successes and failures in training, so the management company will pile all the training costs, including the costs invested in the failures, onto the successful artists. Therefore, almost every artist has to sign a long-term contract of at least two digit years."
Yang Huan frowned when he heard this and looked at Lin Yuner, who nodded slightly with a pitiful look, "I signed for thirteen years."
"Thirteen years?" Yang Huan was so surprised that he almost lost his voice.
According to her age, she is twenty years old now, and will be thirty-three in thirteen years, which means she will be an old woman!
In other words, the best years of my life were taken away by this agency.
"It's not just a long-term contract, there's also a share of the profits. They are considered relatively good, and can get 20% of the income. If they become more famous in the future, they may be able to strive for 30%. But most people can only get 10% of the total income, or even less, and the agency takes the largest part of the income."
Yang Huan was a little dumbfounded. Such harsh treatment actually existed.
"In fact, the reason why there are so many cases of accompanying drinking and sleeping together in the entertainment industry is mainly because the income of artists is too low. Some artists appear to be glamorous and world-famous on the surface, but secretly they even have problems making a living because most of their income is taken away by their management companies."
"Can't you resist?" Yang Huan was so confused.
Although both are training programs, the youth training systems of European football clubs are not as perverted as those in the Korean entertainment industry.
European football youth training contracts are signed for five or six years at most, and even once the players perform well, they will be given salary increases to retain them. However, in the Korean entertainment industry, it is obvious that the management companies are too powerful.
"Yes, some people have resisted, but the cost of resistance is too high. Moreover, the management companies often hold many secrets of the artists. Some even use despicable means to take photos of the artists' private parts and some evidence that can be used for blackmail, so..."
Yang Huan was a little stunned. This didn't seem like the entertainment industry at all. It seemed more like the underworld.
When the agent surnamed Pu saw Yang Huan's unfriendly look, she also felt uneasy. "This is the company's system. I am just an employee who has no choice."
Yang Huan was sensible and didn't intend to dwell on the matter any further. Instead, he looked at Lin Yoona.
The latter stood beside Yang Huan, tilting her head slightly, with faint moaning sounds.
Yang Huan felt a little bit reluctant when he saw this, because this girl had just tried her best to save him.
"Were you photographed, or were you threatened with anything else in their possession?"
"I don't know." Lin Yoona shook her head. She has always been chaste and has never had a boyfriend, but if someone was secretly photographed changing clothes or something, that would be beyond her control.
"Is there no other way?" Yang Huan asked Li Zhushan.
"Yes." Li Zhushan replied.
"What is the solution?"
"Pay the penalty, but for a famous actress like Miss Lin, the penalty is definitely in the ten figures, which is about eight figures when converted into RMB. Miss Lin has kept herself clean since her debut and has no other gray income. I'm afraid the money she has earned, converted into RMB, may not be seven figures."
At this point, Li Zhushan also sighed, "So, unless someone is willing to help her pay the money and give her freedom."
After being in the entertainment industry for a long time, being exposed to so much and being influenced by so much, my heart has gradually become numb.
The Chinese have a saying that goes, "Whores are heartless and actors are disloyal."
Those truly wealthy tycoons are willing to spend some money to play with female celebrities and satisfy their desire.
But if they were really asked to pay money to redeem the female star, I'm afraid they wouldn't do it.
After hearing this, Yang Huan smiled slightly, looked at Lin Yuner, waved, and waited until the latter came closer before he asked: "I will ask you a question now, just answer it truthfully."
"Yeah!" Lin Yoona didn't know what Yang Huan wanted to ask.
This young master always speaks and acts in such a fanciful way, who can guess what he is thinking?
"You have two choices. First, continue to stay in this agency. I will help you deal with this incident tonight, and you can continue to be a big star. As for that pighead across the street, I will also help you deal with it!"
After hearing this, Lin Yoona looked at Yang Huan with disbelief. She did not doubt that Yang Huan had such ability.
After all, money still talks in the entertainment industry.
"Second, I will help you pay the penalty for breach of contract and redeem you, and you will be free from now on..."
Lin Yoona felt that her head suddenly went blank and buzzing, and she couldn't think at all.
Help me pay the penalty?
Get freedom?
This was something she couldn't even imagine, but Yang Huan was going to give it to her now!
Oh my God, is this true?
Are you kidding me?
Can I really be free again?
She was very skeptical and looked at the stranger in front of her with a puzzled look. She had only known him for less than eight hours, but it felt like she had known him for a very long time.
Why did he do that?
She can't figure it out!
"Don't doubt that I have any plans. Although I am a very romantic person, I am never vulgar!" Yang Huan laughed and said self-deprecatingly after seeing Li Zhushan's ambiguous expression, "The reason why I am willing to do this is because you wanted to save me just now."
"Ten million is a piece of cake for me. I'll just consider it as a way to repay you for saving me just now."
Lin Yuna's leap just now was just an instinctive reaction in a hurry, but she didn't expect it to bring her such an opportunity.
This made her feel happy, but also full of anxiety and uneasiness.
"Actually, Master Huan, there's no need to pay the full eight figures!" Li Zhushan smiled and shook his head, "If we really want to terminate the contract, we can negotiate privately and maybe only pay half."
After hearing this, Yang Huan didn't take it to heart anymore and turned to look at Lin Yuner, "What do you think?"
Lin Yuna was a little panicked. From childhood to adulthood, she rarely made decisions on her own.
When she was young, she was taken care of by her parents and siblings at home. Later, she participated in training and made her debut. It was always the agency that managed her. She had no right to agree or refuse.
When this gifted right returned to her, she was a little overwhelmed.
"How about it? Do you want to go back and discuss it with your family?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.
Anyway, he will stay in Korea for a few more days, so there is no rush.
Lin Yuner heard this, gritted her teeth, and shook her head firmly, "I want to terminate the contract!"
"Okay!" Yang Huan nodded in appreciation. This girl is quite stubborn at heart.
"However, after the contract is terminated, I will follow you and help you make money until you pay off the money."
Yang Huan was slightly stunned, and then he burst into laughter, "Okay, follow me if you like. Anyway, I don't mind having a beautiful woman around me. I will look impressive when I go out!"
Just when Yang Huan was talking to the agent named Park about helping Lin Yuna pay the penalty for breach of contract, Jin Dayong in the Aston Martin opposite finally couldn't sit still anymore.
He found that everyone had something to do, and he was the only one waiting there bored.
Yang Huan asked the hotel waiter to bring tables and chairs, and serve food and wine, and they had a picnic right outside the gate, while he himself was chatting happily with Lin Yuna. Only he was sitting stupidly in the Aston Martin, waiting like an idiot.
"Hey, how long do you want me to wait?" Jin Dayong walked out of the Aston Martin, unable to sit still, feeling annoyed.
Yang Huan heard his voice and looked over again, "Why are you so anxious? It's only been over an hour. If you don't even have this little bit of patience, how can you be a qualified rich second generation?"
Jin Dayong became even angrier when he heard his lecturing tone.
Of course it’s okay for you, you can chat with the beauty Yoona, but what about me?
Is it fun to sit in a car and wait alone?
"You can't even get a car, you're just killing time. If you said the car would arrive in two days, wouldn't I have to wait for you here for two days?"
Yang Huan was also happy when he heard it. "You know what, there is no time limit for our bet. If I get a car from China and rent an oil tanker from Longhai overnight, two days may not be enough. If I go by land, what if I pass through North Korea..."
At this point, he couldn't help but laugh.
Jin Dayong on the opposite side was so angry that his face changed. He secretly hated himself for being stupid. Why didn't he know how to set a time limit just now?
"Don't worry, my car will be here soon, wait!"
Who knew that as soon as Yang Huan finished speaking, a roar of an engine like thunder came from the distance.
Hearing this voice, Yang Huan stood up with a smile.
Jin Dayong's expression became even uglier.
