The Breakup Master crew
After interacting with the fans who visited the set, Da Mimi put on her sunglasses and as soon as she got into her nanny car, she couldn't wait to ask her agent Zeng Jia.
"How's it going? Any new news?"
"How can it be that fast? Didn't this just break out?"
Zeng Jia shook her head. Compared to Da Mimi's excitement, she felt a little complicated at the moment.
Many people regard Zeng Jia as Da Mimi's subordinate, and some even believe that Da Mimi is the real boss of Jiaxing Media, which was later founded by Da Mimi and others, and Zeng Jia, the major shareholder, is just holding shares on behalf of others.
Otherwise, I can’t understand why Da Mimi works so hard.
She is the core and pillar of the company. Everything in Jiaxing's early days was created by her, but she is just a small shareholder. It doesn't make sense.
It was not until later, when Da Mimi was eliminated from Jiaxing, that everyone truly realized that she was not the real boss.
In other words, in the beginning, Da Mimi was considered the boss, or at least a founder with a lot of say, but later at a certain stage, especially with the rise of Dilraba Dilmurat, Da Mimi's role was no longer indispensable, so she began to be marginalized until she was finally kicked out.
It is difficult for outsiders to know how the two sides cooperated before and then fell out.
But it must be pointed out that Zeng Jia is not as simple as the outside world understands.
She is not the kind of small agent who depends on the stars. On the contrary, in the early and middle stages of Da Mimi's development, Zeng Jia was the one who took the lead.
In 2000, Zeng Jia joined Rong Xinda and studied under the boss Li Xiaowan. Later, he became a senior agent of the company and has worked with Gui Yalei, Zhou Gongzi and Chen Kun.
You have to know that at that time, Zhou Gongzi was already one of the four major actresses, Chen Kun was the number one of Rong Xinda and a popular young actor, so Zeng Jia's status can be imagined.
So when Da Mimi first joined Rong Xinda, she seemed to be trying to curry favor with Zeng Jia.
Later, with Zeng Jia's support, Da Mimi became famous and became one of the new Four Little Flowers. Even when she terminated her contract with Rong Xinda, stood up Tangren and signed with Meiya, it was Zeng Jia's push behind her.
When Da Mimi left Rong Xinda, Zeng Jia chose to go forward and retreat together. At that time, Zeng Jia also transformed himself into the brokerage director of Meiya, whose brokerage business was not well developed.
But soon after arriving at Meiya, Da Mimi and Zeng Jia realized that they had been cheated and that the so-called movie contract was just that.
The sudden popularity of "Palace" made Da Mimi a top star in mainland China. The change in their identities made the two increasingly realize that they had taken the wrong path. Not only did Meiya fail to provide much help, but it became a "drag".
So at that time, Da Mimi and Zeng Jia had the idea of changing jobs, and their first target was of course Huanrui, with whom they were deeply involved.
Zeng Jia only stayed at Meiya for one year before jumping directly to Huanrui and becoming the director of artist management at Huanrui.
Later, Zeng Jia, as an important senior executive, obtained shares in Huanrui. Zeng Jia's shadow was also behind the various collaborations between Da Mimi and Huanrui, and even the investment.
If nothing unexpected happens, Da Mimi should, like in her previous life, sign a contract with Huanrui under the name of her studio with the help of Zeng Jia.
Afterwards, in order to accumulate strength and for various reasons, he chose to start his own business with Zeng Jia and others.
But now there is an accident, that is the appearance of Wei Yang and the blue whale.
After Wei Yang and Da Mimi became acquainted, Da Mimi witnessed Wei Yang's rise with her own eyes and missed many opportunities to join Wei Yang.
When Da Mimi left Rong Xinda, she hesitated for a while whether to join Blue Whale. Later, she was moved by the movie contract and chose Meiya.
Then we saw Blue Whale leap from an unknown grassroots team to a mainstay of the Shanghai circle, and Wei Yang grew into a big boss in the industry.
How could her good sister Liu Shishi rely on Wei Yang's resources to suppress her? Even Tang Yan developed smoothly and became famous because of Wei Yang.
Especially the latter, which had a profound impact on Da Mimi and caused a key change in Da Mimi's attitude towards Wei Yang's career and feelings.
From that time on, although Da Mimi was still using Huanrui's resources, her heart had already completely leaned towards Wei Yang.
So when Wei Yang really extended an olive branch, Da Mimi did not hesitate at all and chose Coral Entertainment.
She doesn't want to regret it again like she did before!
Da Mimi's decisiveness actually made Zeng Jia very passive. The two of them were very closely tied at this time, and Da Mimi was also the biggest trump card in Zeng Jia's hand.
It’s not that she didn’t try to persuade Da Mimi, but the failure of Meiya last time and some personal selfishness made Da Mimi, who always obeyed her, choose to stick to her own opinion.
So this time, it was Zeng Jia's turn to make the choice.
The first choice is to give up Da Mimi, whom she has cultivated for many years, and continue to work for Huanrui.
Although Zeng Jia is also a veteran agent, he does not have any ace artists. It remains to be seen whether he can maintain this position in the face of the fierce competition from Huanrui.
You know, Huanrui's internal agents include not only the veteran vice president Jiang Sanshi, but Tangren's artist management director Jia Shikai also has close ties with Huanrui and seems to be interested in switching jobs. Without the card of Da Mimi, she doesn't have many advantages.
The second option is to give up Huanrui’s shares and position and join Wei Yang together with Da Mimi.
There is no doubt that this choice will destroy all the preparations Zeng Jia has made at Huanrui.
Moreover, given the relationship between Da Mimi and Wei Yang, the status between her and Da Mimi will also change.
If they were in Huanrui, Da Mimi would have to rely on Zeng Jia to act as a go-between. Both families cannot get around her. She is the dominant person between Zeng and Mimi.
At Coral Entertainment, Da Mimi can communicate directly with Wei Yang and Yang Tianzhen, but she, as the agent, cannot get involved, and Da Mimi becomes the leader.
But the good thing is that Da Mimi signed a contract with the studio and Coral Entertainment, and Zeng Jia and Da Mimi are still one.
She still holds this trump card in her hand, and there may be other developments in the future. At least compared to Yang Tianzhen, Da Mimi definitely trusts her more.
Even if it was Wei Yang, she could compete with him to some extent.
Don't forget that Wei Yang has more than one popular actress under his banner. Wei Yang's support for her is limited, but Zeng Jia and Da Mimi's interests are aligned, so sometimes Da Mimi still trusts and relies on her the most.
If we give up Da Mimi, it is hard to say whether we can cultivate another artist as popular and valuable as Da Mimi in the future, or the possibility is very low.
Zeng Jia hesitated for many days, but finally couldn't bear to give up Da Mimi, so she made the second choice, leaving Huanrui and joining Shanhu with Da Mimi.
Although she had made the choice, Zeng Jia was not happy about it. After all, it was semi-forced. She even had some dark thoughts.
Da Mimi suffered a setback at Shanhu and gave up on Wei Yang.
Then she will come out to turn the tide, regroup with Da Mimi, gain Da Mimi's trust, and regain the dominant position between the two of them.
So when Blue Whale and Huanrui started a war of words over Da Mimi, Zeng Jia was just watching the fun.
She even hoped that Wei Yang would be a little timid and let Da Mimi suffer a little, which would make her feel disappointed and even heartbroken.
Unexpectedly, Blue Whale and Wei Yang responded extremely fiercely and even directly fought with Huanrui.
Of course, Lin Gengxin and other elements are also involved, but the attitude has been expressed, and Da Mimi has been directly removed, with the two sides openly confronting each other.
From this moment on, Zeng Jia knew that she was going to be in trouble! If it were another artist, they might not feel deeply, or even have no feelings at all, and think that it was natural for the company to stand up for them.
But Da Mimi has suffered this loss before.
Thinking back to the time when she stabbed Tangren in the back, she was severely punished by Tangren. At that time, neither Rong Xinda, which was deeply involved, nor the new owner Meiya took any clear measures. She had to bear it all by herself.
In other words, because of the conflict with Tang Ren, the dead girl openly took sides and spoke for her.
This incident left a deep psychological trauma on Da Mimi.
Unexpectedly, Blue Whale and Wei Yang took over Huanrui's tactics directly, and the two sides clashed directly.
Da Mimi didn't care what other reasons or intentions Wei Yang had for doing this. She only saw that Wei Yang stood up for her and even suppressed Huanrui, which made her feel full of happiness and security.
As for the fact that he was the one who broke his promise, but was happy to see Huanrui, the victim, suffer, isn't that a bit immoral?
When has Da Mimi ever cared about these things!
She even enjoyed the feeling of bullying others by taking advantage of her power. The more "immoral" Wei Yang was in standing up for her, the happier she was. She felt that Wei Yang valued her, and she had a strange pleasure of being a concubine who brought disaster to the country.
So Da Mimi was not as disappointed and distant as Zeng Jia had expected. Instead, she became closer to Wei Yang.
God have mercy on her. Da Mimi has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, especially after she became famous, people still think she is a stinky dog and she gets scolded every day.
It was not until this time that I truly experienced the feeling of having a strong backer. It was simply intoxicating.
So much so that Da Mimi follows the news every day to see how Blue Whale and Huanrui compete. She is happier to see Huanrui suffer losses than to make money herself.

Huanrui: “…”
Da Mimi held her phone and flipped through it, but didn't see any good news that made her excited, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Sister Jia, do you think Huanrui will give in?"
"have no idea."
Zeng Jia shook her head. After leaving Huanrui, she worked more in Da Mimi's studio. Although she still had some connections, she couldn't figure out their specific trends at that level.
Even if she could figure it out, she wouldn't be able to judge. After all, Wei Yang's tactics had deviated from the conventional struggles in the entertainment industry.
Normally, when there are conflicts, people will throw dirty water on each other and mess with the artists. The most brutal thing is when two projects clash head-on, or when people use their connections and resources to suppress each other.
Wei Yang's operation of sniping the listing really opened Zeng Jia's eyes. She had never thought that it could be done this way.
It was also at this moment that Zeng Jia truly realized the gap between himself and Wei Yang, and that the two were not at the same level at all.
She also sorted out her thoughts to some extent, and her attitude and thoughts became much more restrained. She had realized that even if she took Da Mimi to set up her own business, or even turned to capital, Wei Yang could easily kill her.
From this moment on, Zeng Jia also began to agree with Da Mimi's idea.
At least Wei Yang does protect his people and does not back down at critical moments. He is relatively loyal.
She knew that even if she pulled Da Mimi out, she still needed the help of capital. In that case, why not find a relatively sophisticated capitalist she knew?
Although she still had some reservations, Zeng Jia's attitude had changed unknowingly. She was no longer as resistant to Coral Entertainment and Wei Yang behind it as before.
Da Mimi didn’t think as far as Zeng Jia thought, she just still felt a little regretful.
"It's a pity that Huanrui didn't go public, and many agreements were signed before the listing, otherwise there would be more tricks to use."
Zeng Jia was curious: "What other tricks are there?"
Da Mimi had called Wei Yang before and found out some things, and couldn't help showing off to Zeng Jia.
"Although Wei Yang's current move can affect and stop Huanrui to a certain extent, it is not absolute. It is hard to say to what extent it can be achieved, so we can only force Huanrui to surrender, but not to kill them."
"In fact, Wei Yang's original goal was to acquire the shares of the company that Huanrui wanted to go public through a backdoor listing. If the deal is reached, whether Huanrui goes public or not will depend on his approval."
"Another operation is to pay a large sum of money to one of Huanrui's shareholders, acquire a certain amount of shares, and then prevent the listing."
"However, these two operations are difficult. Generally speaking, everyone's interests are aligned, and many aspects have begun to go through agreements. It is not possible to acquire something just by saying so."
"If Huanrui goes public, it would be easier because then the stock market and shareholders can directly buy out shares and become shareholders of Huanrui. If there is enough capital, it is even possible to kick the couple out."
“…”
Da Mimi actually didn’t quite understand it either, so she combined some of Wei Yang’s words with her understanding, reassembled them, and gave a few examples.
If someone who knows the business listens to it, they will find a lot of problems, but it is also true that many of the plans are feasible, at least they sound impressive.
There are many tricks in capital operation, especially using the big to attack the small, which is hard to guard against.
It’s just that capital is profit-seeking. If there is not enough profit, there is no need to do this. If you are in the same industry, you will not easily do such a drastic thing due to various concerns.
But Da Mimi didn't understand, and Zeng Jia was also a half-baked person, so she was confused and broke out in cold sweats.
"Dark, these people are really dark."
Zeng Jia doesn't consider himself a good person. In the competition in the entertainment industry over the years, he has often helped his artists to use tricks.
But compared with Wei Yang, he is nothing.
The worst they can do is to tarnish each other's reputation, embarrass each other in some situation, or steal a show or a role.
Wei Yang was directly seizing someone's foundation. In the blink of an eye, countless people's property, work, and hard work were wasted. This was truly a bloodless murder.
Zeng Jia swallowed her saliva. For the first time, she felt a sense of fear towards the handsome, smiling young man...
Da Mimi was still unaware and still regretted that Wei Yang's tricks were not used.
It’s not that she doesn’t know how terrible these tricks are, but Da Mimi naturally thinks that she is Wei Yang’s person, and she never thought about whether Wei Yang would use the same tricks on her one day.
So Da Mimi didn't feel fear. On the contrary, the more cruel and powerful Wei Yang was, the happier she was.
The two chatted for a long time, and then it was time to shoot. Da Mimi went to the scene, had just put on makeup, and was about to shoot when she saw director Deng Chao looking at her with a complicated look.
"Mi Mi, congratulations."
"???"
Da Mimi was a little confused. Just as she was about to ask a question, Zeng Jia hurried over and showed her the phone. The news headline on it made Da Mimi couldn't help but swear.
"Fuck!"
In late May, Huanrui Century and Blue Whale jointly announced that after friendly negotiations, the two sides decided to launch strategic cooperation.
Co-develop projects such as "Zhu Xian" and "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" owned by Huanrui Century's IPs.
At the cooperation press conference, Blue Whale General Manager Xia Cong spoke highly of this strategic cooperation and clarified some previous false rumors about the two companies.
At the same time, according to rumors, Jiang Sanshi, the vice president who directly caused the conflict between Blue Whale and Huanrui Century, is suspected to have been demoted. Some people also said that the other party seemed to have left Huanrui.
But the most interesting thing is that another influential figure, Lin Gengxin, did not choose to join Huanrui in the end, but instead switched to Huayi.
In this regard, the two sides also had some economic disputes and even went to court.
The spectators were overwhelmed by these changes, but in the industry where insider information was flying everywhere, Boss Wei's reputation was greatly shaken...
