Chapter 450: Feng Peizhi is Done, and the Big Bosses All Spoke Out (3)
Translator: _Min
Si Fuqing listened with great interest, “Oh?”
After a full day of silence, Tianle Media finally struck back.
[@TianleMediaV: We request Ms. Si Fuqing to stop spreading false rumors about our company. We have never coerced Ms. Si Fuqing into signing a contract with us through deceit or any despicable means. Everything was done voluntarily by Ms. Si Fuqing!]
Si Fuqing’s haters remained numerous and even grew stronger with the addition of Meng Xue’s fans.
This statement from Tianle Media gave the critics a new point of attack.
[Right, wasn’t the oppressive contract signed by you? Who else can you blame for your foolishness?]
[All I can say is it serves you right. Think about it, Si Fuqing lacked both looks and talent before; what benefits could Tianle Media possibly gain by forcing her into such a contract?]
[What a shameless company, really ought to have some self-respect!] Then, the Mousses witnessed her posting an unusual fourth Weibo post today.
[@SiFuqingV: Promise me, don’t be like Calabash Brothers trying to save their grandpa, okay? [Image] [Video]]
The video revealed that over two years ago, due to health reasons, Si Fuqing had spent a month in the hospital, and the contract was signed by Old Master Zuo and Tianle Media without her knowledge.
[Again with the Zuo family… I’m starting to doubt if Old Master Zuo truly cares for Qingqing. Otherwise, why would he sign her up with such a blood-sucking company.]
[Taking a step back, Qingqing was only 16 years old at the time, not even of legal age. This adds a serious crime to your account!]
There was the sound of cheerful footsteps.
An emergency meeting of the senior management was called.
“How did you handle this? Allowing a minor celebrity to gather so much evidence?” the president of Tianle Media slammed the table furiously. “Do you even do anything? A bunch of old foxes can’t outsmart a young girl?”
Not even Meng Xue held a status in the entertainment industry that would demand the president’s attention, despite the company having supported numerous award-winning actors and actresses.
The president was bewildered that a minor celebrity, whom he had never concerned himself with, could bring such a crisis upon Tianle Media.
“Presi-President, we truly didn’t expect this,” Manager Luo said with an embarrassed look. “She must have been planning this for a long time, biding her time until now to make her move.”
The evidence was collected so quietly that they hadn’t noticed at all.
“1.8 billion,” the president exhaled, his gaze turning cold. “Fine, 1.8 billion. I’ll remember this Si Fuqing. If she wants to terminate the contract, let her. I’d like to see which agency dares to sign her after this!”
Ruining the relationship with her former company to such an extent, any company would hesitate to sign such an employee.
It was the first time he had to pay such a huge sum.
“Then, we proceed with the termination?” Manager Luo hesitated.
“Terminate,” the president scoffed coldly. “But there are a few days left in the process. Until then, she’s still an artist under Tianle Media. At the end-of-month banquet, we’ll have to bring her in, even if it means dragging her there.”
He intended to make Si Fuqing to know how it felt with no one to turn to for help.
Feng Peizhi and the notoriety of Tianle Media remained prominent on the trending searches.
The Mousses were at the forefront of defending her rights.
More and more people began to voice their support, and big names on social media started to share their thoughts, all wondering how a company could be so shameless.
Yet, the situation still hadn’t reached a wider audience.
Until a second ago, when Su Yang shared Si Fuqing’s post about defending her rights.
Social media exploded.
[@SuYangV: Support.]
[@LuNingshengV: Qingqing, don’t be afraid, terminate the contract and fight them!]
[@XieYuV: Supporting big brother.]
[@XuXiyunV: Teacher Si is the best!]
Following this, fans of Xu Jianian discovered that he also shared the post and showed his support.
It was rare in the entertainment industry to see three top male celebrities voice their support together.
Not to mention, Su Yang, Xie Yu, and Xu Jianian each belonged to different fields, causing the share count on Weibo to skyrocket exponentially, reaching audiences far beyond the usual circles.
[I just remembered, Xie Yu was personally mentored by Si Fuqing. Su God and Si Fuqing had a chance encounter and even appeared on a show together. As for
Xu Jianian, they already have CP fans.]
[The top male celebrities in the entertainment industry can be counted on one hand. Having a good relationship with one is rare enough, but to have connections with two more, Si Fuqing could practically summon the lucky dragon.]
[It’s undeniable that Si Fuqing is fortunate to have the support of Su God and
Queen Lu.]
[I laughed. You only see her good luck but fail to notice what she has endured. You see her securing the RM endorsement but overlook the near-death experience she had in the deep sea. And you call this luck?]
With the voices of several stars, the issue of Tianle Media oppressing its artists could no longer be suppressed.
The top ten trending topics included three related to this issue, with the first spot highlighting the situation.
Ordinary netizens might not specifically follow Si Fuqing, but the criticism against Tianle Media’s oppressive contracts was unanimous.
Meng Xue’s situation also worsened.
While still on set, she felt the judgmental glances of other actors.
It was as if she was under constant scrutiny.
This affected her performance, leading to continuous mistakes during shooting, prompting the director to ask her to take a break.
Nearby was Cen Xiaosi.
Meng Xue had given her a minor maid role.
“Sister Meng, what is Si Fuqing trying to do?” Cen Xiaosi was visibly upset. “She’s clearly aiming to attack you and drag the company down before the group disbands. She’s truly evil and calculated!”
Meng Xue’s face was cold.
The reaction from making her fans feel bad had been beneficial.
Her fans felt guilty, becoming even more loyal.
The situation was initially favorable for her.
Originating from a background of popular idols, her fanbase was her foundation. Ordinary viewers wouldn’t contribute much to her endorsement deals or analytics.
But Si Fuqing’s mention of her name yesterday led to a decline in her popularity among the general public.
Meng Xue was baffled.
Did Si Fuqing not care about her future in the entertainment industry?
“What can we do?” Meng Xue said coldly. “Sister Feng can’t control her, and she has the backing of Xingting Law Firm. After gathering evidence for so long, she was well-prepared. Even the company’s legal team is at a loss. What can you
“She really lacks foresight,” Cen Xiaosi’s face turned red with anger. “Sister Feng even offered her a chance in the film industry, and she didn’t appreciate it. Without the company’s support, could she even act?”
Meng Xue bit her lip.
Who would have thought that by saving someone, Si Fuqing would land a top luxury endorsement?
Her disdain for minor roles was understandable.
“Sist-Sister Meng…” another girl group member hesitated. “Is that the director of the xianxia drama you’re going to shoot?”
[@TangHaiQiuV: In forty years of my career, I’ve never seen such shameless behavior from a company.. What has happened to this industry? No more words, I support the termination!]
