"Master Jiang, is what Director Zhang said true? Did you really pay the termination fee back then?"
"I remember that Master Jiang's company at the time was a subsidiary of Xingying, called Zhaixing?"
"Master Jiang, how much money did you lose back then?"
Why did Master Jiang leave Zhaixing in the first place?
The reporters immediately shoved microphones in front of Jiang Yuan and began asking key questions.
"No." Jiang Yuan shook her head, speaking calmly as she usually does during her live streams.
Zhang Guoping looked at Jiang Yuan in surprise.
no?
But that's what his investigation revealed.
When Jiang Yuan left Zhaixing, she had to pay a lot of termination fees, and in the end, Jiang Yusi stepped in to pay the money on her behalf.
Jiang Yusi even trended on social media at the time, with people saying that she didn't hold a grudge and treated the 'younger sister' who had taken away her status as a rich heiress very well.
He had inquired and found out that Jiang Yusi had paid a considerable amount of the termination fee on behalf of Jiang Yuan.
However, Jiang Yusi frequently trended on social media back then, earning a considerable amount of traffic.
As for Jiang Yuan, even after leaving Zhaixing and disappearing, she is still dragged out and criticized every now and then.
Even after she left the entertainment industry, her name still resonates within it.
Although the internet is full of haters, there is no doubt that no one can compare to her infamy. Even if she disappears from the public eye, people will still mention her.
in particular……
Especially whenever Jiang Yusi trends on social media.
The more Zhang Guoping thought about it, the more strange it seemed.
It seems that every time Jiang Yusi trends on social media, Jiang Yuan also trends on social media.
Of course, it was all insults.
He mentioned this to reporters and the media not for any other reason than that he felt that picking stars back then was a bit too much, and he wanted to stand up for Jiang Yuan.
Although Jiang Yuan was boycotted by the entire internet at that time, any variety show or program featuring Jiang Yuan, while receiving mediocre ratings, still had decent viewership.
Back then, those haters liked to watch and criticize Jiang Yuan at the same time, afraid of missing today's plot and not being able to keep up with the criticism of Jiang Yuan.
The viewership ratings were good, but because of Jiang Yuan, even though the drama and variety show were decent, the overall ratings were just average.
As long as Jiang Yuan is in the shot, the score will never be high.
But high viewership means money, and Jiang Yuan must have made a lot of money from watching the show. It's a bit excessive and unscrupulous to try to squeeze her out of a termination fee when her contract is about to expire.
Secondly, he wanted to give Ji Lü a warning; although Ji Lü was young and promising, but...
Because the emperor is far away and he wasn't present, there are some things he might not be aware of.
Zhaixing squeezed all of Jiang Yuan's value and then made a profit off her.
If this is how they treat Jiang Yuan, what about the other artists under their management?
He's an outsider, so it's not appropriate for him to interfere too much. This is the only way to give him a little nudge.
If Ji Lü were smart, he should check the Zhaixing (摘星) to see if it was hollow inside.
If left unchecked, it will eventually be eaten away by termites, which will implicate Xingying and the Ji family.
He had worked with Xingying before and also knew his brother Ji Fei.
I first met Ji Fei at the Ji family home.
At that time, he was an unknown and fledgling director. He took his script to several companies and was repeatedly turned down. Finally, he went to the Ji family, hoping to persuade President Ji to invest in his friend's script and give him a chance to direct a film.
Unfortunately, although Mr. Ji hosted him, he didn't take a liking to his script.
Just as he was about to leave, he bumped into Ji Fei.
Pages of the script were scattered on the ground. Ji Fei picked them up, glanced at them, and then looked him over.
He was just a child then, but he spoke like an adult, saying, "Dad, this show is good."
Just because of Ji Fei's words, Old Ji agreed to invest 50 million.
Fifty million won't get you big stars; you can only hire some obscure actors or newcomers who have just graduated from art school.
Money should be used wisely and efficiently.
He didn't know if Ji Fei genuinely thought the script was good or if he was just saying it casually.
However, he was very fortunate to have met Ji Fei at that time.
He only had 50 million, but 50 million changed his life.
The web series didn't receive rave reviews after its release, but it did become somewhat popular.
After that, many people approached him, asking him to direct films.
He gradually transformed from Xiaoping to Guoping, and then to Director Zhang.
During the period when he achieved great success, he did not see Ji Fei again, and when he heard Ji Fei's name again...
That was when he passed away due to illness.
He attended Ji Fei's memorial service and also met Ji Lü at the funeral.
Having lost his only brother at a young age, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of the Ji family.
He managed Xingying well after taking over, and it was precisely because of him that Xingying was able to thrive.
Although they were competing companies, he didn't want to see Xingying suffer because of its subsidiaries.
Once the exploitation of artists and the practice of profiting from contract termination fees are exposed, many people will definitely lose faith in Xingying, and Xingying's reputation will plummet.
