Song Qianming took the contract home. Although the contract was not the best, it was good enough considering his current situation.
This Sister Hong had contacted Director He to look for him. At first, he was still suspicious. He didn’t expect that the other party didn’t even bother to play tricks and directly explained the relationship of interests. This made him feel at ease to continue the discussion.
Everyone was straightforward, and after half a day of discussion, they confirmed the cooperation.
“I’ll arrange a driver and an assistant for you. During this time, don’t speak on any major platforms. I’ll deal with the recent uproar.”
“Thank you, Sister Hong. I’ve troubled you.” Song Qianming sighed in his heart. It was great to have a manager. There was someone to arrange everything, and he didn’t have to worry about it. Even if the company’s commission was slightly higher, it is worth it. After all, there was someone to solve the problem for him, right?
Moreover, the company would give him resources in the future, so he would not have to spend so much effort to find them. In the future, when he became more popular, his share would increase correspondingly. As expected, he had to sign with the right company!
Just like the Xi Le he had stayed with before, and the Wenha where the arrogant man later came from, one only thought about how to abandon him after something happened, and the other only thought about squeezing out his remaining value. No wonder their developments were not good.
The company he signed with was called Chang Hai, but the main business of Chang Hai Group was not in the entertainment industry. Chang Hai used to be in real estate, and later it began to involve itself in other industries. Chang Hai Entertainment was only a subsidiary of the Chang Hai Group.
Although it was a subsidiary company and had only been in the entertainment industry for less than five years, with the huge existence of the head office and strong capital, Chang Hai Entertainment had developed rapidly. Ignoring its poor foundation, it was very unique and bold in the development of film and television.
Chang Hai was not short of money. In the past few years, they had bought a lot of copyrights and produced a lot of movies and TV shows. Two of them had box office sales of over one billion Yuan, and three of the TV shows were on Star TV.
In the past five years, Chang Hai had brought an actress and an actor to the A-list, as well as a few second and third-rate ones. However, the first-rate actor had terminated his contract this year for some reason.
All in all, Chang Hai Entertainment’s ability to support stars was very good, and Song Qianming felt that it would not be a loss for him to sign with this company.
After signing the contract, he went home with a peace of mind. When nighttime reached, he clearly found that there were fewer hate posts about him. Under the comments about his daughter, some people had begun to control the comments.
Chang Hai Entertainment didn’t officially respond to the fact that he had a daughter before marriage, because Sister Hong felt that his response was enough. Instead, they emphasized that he didn’t know about the existence of the child before, and that he had the courage to take responsibility after knowing, instilling the image of a good father in the netizens.
Then, they directed the netizens’ attention to ‘Frost Falls’ and focused on instilling everyone with the idea of how good the drama was. Then, the posts about how good his acting skills were increased, and many edited clips were constantly flooding the small video websites.
Most people were biased towards beautiful looks. Since ancient times, beautiful women would be treated well. Once, the foreign media had done a test. Two different-looking people asked strangers for help, but the better-looking one had a higher success rate.
Song Qianming’s looks were unquestionable, and his acting skills were good. The netizens were naturally happy while they watched his drama, and they grew more tolerant of him.
“How could this be?” Seeing that the heat had died down, Yuan Fei slammed the table. “Are these people blind and stupid? How can a person with a stain stay in the entertainment industry?”
“You’re regretting it, right?” Zhong Boyi walked in and said, “If you didn’t chase Song Qianming away, would we have been able to ride on his popularity now? You didn’t expect him to be able to rise again, did you?”
“Who allowed you to enter my lounge?” Yuan Fei glared at him angrily.
Zhong Boyi’s face was full of mockery. “You pretend to be noble in front of us. It turns out that you’re just like this in private. You’re the one who exposed all the recent news, right? You’re the one who hired the haters.”
“Zhong Boyi, I don’t want to argue with you. Get out.”
Zhong Boyi clenched his fist and said, “I’ve had enough of you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have remained unpopular. It’s all your fault.”
“What nonsense are you talking?”
“I’m talking nonsense? Aren’t you just relying on your family’s wealth to make us your supporting characters? But in the end, under your suppression, none of us can be famous. Now that Song Qianming has left you and soared to the top, how are you going to explain yourself?”
Yuan Fei laughed in anger, “You’re saying that I’m the one who stopped you from becoming famous? Zhong Boyi, what kind of dream are you having? Who do you think you are? If I didn’t let you join this group, you wouldn’t even have the chance to debut.”
“You’re talking nonsense.” Zhong Boyi was an impulsive person by nature, so he quickly resorted to violence.
“If you didn’t trick me into coming here, I would have already released my album and held a concert if I worked for another company. Yuan Fei, I won’t listen to your nonsense anymore.”
How could Yuan Fei let Zhong Boyi hit him? The two of them started to fight. “Song Qianming became popular because of his looks. What about you? Do you really think that your singing ability is comparable to the famous singers out there? Even if you strip yourself naked and give yourself away, no one will take a fancy to you. You still want to hold a concert? Go to the cemetery.”
Zhong Boyi was so angry that he felt dizzy and his blows became more and more powerful.
At this moment, Ji Tong happened to pass by with a glass of hot water. When he saw them fighting, he was so surprised that he broke the glass in his hand.
“Stop fighting. We’re all teammates. We shouldn’t have to resort to this.”
His exclamation quickly attracted the attention of the staff. Yuan Fei was the son of a shareholder, so everyone naturally went to help him. Zhong Boyi was hit by Yuan Fei quite a few times.
“Be careful,” Ji Tong said worriedly, “There’s glass on the floor. Don’t get hurt.”
The moment he finished speaking, Zhong Boyi broke free from the staff’s control and picked up the glass on the ground. Then, under everyone’s horrified screams, he cut a 10-centimeter scar from the left to the right on Yuan Fei’s face.
He had obviously used up all his strength. The wound was very deep, and the white flesh was turned to both sides, and then a large amount of blood flowed out.
Everyone was shocked by this scene, and then there were screams, one after another, and calls for an ambulance and police cars.
Ji Tong took a deep breath. He didn’t expect Zhong Boyi to be so cruel. He looked at the glass shards on the ground and his face turned pale. His heart was beating fast.
Zhong Boyi was completely scared out of his wits. After seeing the blood on Yuan Fei’s face, he instantly calmed down. It was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on his head, and he felt his blood turn cold.
He’s finished!
These two words appeared in his mind. Even if Yuan Fei’s father wasn’t a shareholder of the company, he knew that he was done for. If Yuan Fei pursued the matter to the end, would he have to go to jail?
