Chapter 500: Look, it
Jin Li's resonant and powerful words made Qiguan Mingzhu freeze.
"But if Hao Zhongyi Entertainment really uses our copyright to threaten us, we will face huge breach-of-contract penalties," she hesitated.
Jin Li said: "You have to consult a lawyer to be clear about this, and it's not that we don't want to pay the copyright fee, it's just that we can't find the person to pay the copyright fee to."
"Submit the materials and chat records of us looking for the copyright holder over the years; maybe we only need to make up for the copyright fees owed over the years. If you don't have enough money, I can lend you some."
She added with a smile: "The kind you don't have to pay back."
Qiguan Mingzhu felt much more at ease and rolled her eyes at the words.
"Little Sister Jin Li, I'm not at the point where I need you to help me with money. Sister has participated in so many engagements over the years, and it's not like I've been working for nothing; I've long accumulated a pension."
Just kidding, Jin Li's money is for medical treatment!
Even if she were poorer, maxing out her Huabei, Baitiao, and credit cards, and running to take out a loan, she couldn't take Jin Li's money!
Back to business, Qiguan Mingzhu asked: "So I really don't need to be afraid of Hao Zhongyi Entertainment?"
Jin Li: "Of course you don't need to be afraid. Singing without obtaining copyright is not your business alone; we all need to bear it together."
"It's also because you are jumping ship recently and have no company protecting you, so you were targeted by Hao Zhongyi Entertainment."
"Otherwise, if it were any one of us who received a message from Hao Zhongyi Entertainment, we would forward it to the manager and let the company help arrange a lawyer."
She changed the subject: "Unless they have other black material on you, you don't need to pay attention to them at all."
Qiguan Mingzhu smiled with relief: "Okay, then Sister will go sign with Chenxi Entertainment now. In the future, I'll have to rely on you and Meng Meng to protect me."
Jin Li chuckled.
"You are just hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. You look like you don't care about anything, but in fact, you value feelings the most, which is why you were manipulated by Hao Zhongyi Entertainment."
"But if something happens to me and Meng Meng, who protects whom is not necessarily certain!"
When Guan Mingzhu starts roasting people, it's an indiscriminate attack, regardless of whether you are a company, media, or some messy internet celebrity influencer.
After Jin Li hung up the phone, she checked her phone and found that Sister Fang had sent her a few WeChat messages a few minutes ago.
They were all asking if she was free, if she was busy, and if she could help ask what Qiguan Mingzhu's concerns were and why she wouldn't get out of the car for so long.
Sister Fang only came to ask her after two hours, which was already considered very patient.
If it were an artist who couldn't handle things, they would definitely call within ten minutes.
Jin Li replied: 【Asked, it's already solved, Pearl will call you soon】
When Sui Lingfang received this message, she was checking media revelations on the internet.
Qiguan Mingzhu had already arrived at the Chenxi Entertainment gate but refused to get out of the car for a long time, which for the company, could already be considered a public relations crisis.
After all, the person had already arrived at the door, but was snatched away by someone else. Doesn't this show that Chenxi Entertainment has no ability and cannot keep artists?
The most critical thing is that Qiguan Mingzhu had been liaising with Sui Lingfang from beginning to end and had not contacted other managers, so Sui Lingfang was the person who understood the situation best.
So she couldn't hold a meeting to discuss with other managers what kind of situation this was.
Other managers would only be more confused than her.
Zou Da was beside her, frowning and scrolling through the revelations, saying: "Does Qiguan Mingzhu really have contact with the Hong Kong entertainment company?"
Sui Lingfang was very anxious, but suddenly seeing the message sent by Jin Li, her heart immediately settled down.
"It's normal to have contact with Hong Kong. Their former former employer was a Hong Kong company. Everyone is in the industry; it's impossible not to interact."
Zou Da: "So it's also possible for her to jump to a Hong Kong entertainment company. Not just her, any member of Pink Girls could be poached by people over there."
Sui Lingfang said calmly: "It's not that simple. There is no fresh blood in Hong Kong anymore, only the older generation of stars are supporting it. Developing in the mainland is the general trend."
"As long as Qiguan Mingzhu calms down, she will choose to sign with a mainland company."
Zou Da felt that Sui Lingfang's tone was a bit wrong, too calm, and looked up at her.
"You don't seem worried at all that Qiguan Mingzhu will run?"
Sui Lingfang: "I was worried at first, but suddenly I'm not worried."
Zou Da frowned, this sounded a bit strange; did she figure something out?
The next second, Sui Lingfang's phone rang.
Seeing the caller, the corners of her mouth curled into a smile, and she said confidently: "Notify the company to send security out; Qiguan Mingzhu is coming out of the car."
Zou Da froze, not reacting for a moment.
He watched Sui Lingfang answer the phone, only saying two things—
"Uh-huh"
"Okay"
And then hung up.
Sui Lingfang glanced at him, "What are you freezing for? Why don't you hurry up and notify the company to send security?"
Zou Da: "No, are you for real? You're not joking?"
Sui Lingfang said speechlessly: "Qiguan Mingzhu just called me personally to say she's coming down; do you think this is a joke?"
Zou Da was overjoyed and immediately ran out shouting: "Security, send security, rush out, Qiguan Mingzhu is getting out of the car!"
Manager office area.
As Qiguan Mingzhu refused to come down for a long time, everyone's originally enthusiastic discussion turned into carefulness where they didn't even dare to breathe.
Originally, there were a few managers discussing with each other, but in the end, they didn't even dare to speak, only daring to constantly refresh the hot search on the internet.
A few who couldn't stand it anymore even logged into their small accounts to fight three hundred rounds with those netizens who were singing the downfall of Chenxi Entertainment.
【Qiguan Mingzhu looks like she dislikes Chenxi Entertainment, so she changed her mind at the last minute】
——【No one changes their mind when they run to the company gate; something must have delayed her! Jin Li and Xi Sister Meng Ze are both at Chenxi Entertainment; this company must have excellent points!】
【This sky-high wealth, Chenxi Entertainment can't catch it!】
——【I see you often buy lottery tickets, and you've never won a prize once】
【Could it be that she suddenly discovered Tianding's good points and wants to sign with Tianding?】
——【Stayed for three months, and only discovered Tianding's good points after terminating the contract; this realization is too late】
Just as the managers were frantically hitting their keyboards, trying to subvert public opinion with small comments, they suddenly heard Zou Da's message.
Everyone was energized and greatly encouraged.
A manager gathered the courage to say: "Brother Zou, has Qiguan Mingzhu decided to sign with Chenxi Entertainment?"
Zou Da said without thinking: "She's already at the door; how could we let her go back?"
Now, the managers' output was even more passionate.
【Chenxi Entertainment is no good.】
——【Hehe】
【Qiguan Mingzhu is jumping to the Hong Kong entertainment industry; after all, it's her former former employer, promising heavy profits!】
——【Hehe】
【Just at the scene, it feels a bit wrong, Chenxi Entertainment sent security out, is there a turning point??】
——【^_^】
Outside the Chenxi Entertainment gate.
More and more media came, quite intending to block the way.
Even though Chenxi Entertainment had already sent out security, damn, even the security couldn't cross the layers of human walls.
Chenxi only realized at this time that half of the reason Qiguan Mingzhu couldn't get in was due to the increasing number of media.
Perhaps even the heavens felt that there were too many people in this area and wanted to cool it down, so without even a loud rumble, it started to rain in this area.
It came as a downpour, leaving the media without any preparation.
The media used their clothes to protect their lenses in confusion and had to retreat to the shelter.
Some media were prepared and took out umbrellas.
But this part of the media was ultimately only a minority.
Affected by the sudden rainstorm, a large open space was instantly cleared in front of the Chenxi Entertainment gate, and Qiguan Mingzhu quickly got out of the car and entered the company quickly under the escort of security.
The shelter was too narrow, and some media had to hide under a big tree. Looking up, they couldn't help but be stunned.
"Damn, damn Chenxi Entertainment, we've been tricked!"
"I said I checked the weather forecast before going out, and it was sunny these few days, why did it suddenly rain? It turns out it was Chenxi Entertainment's artificial rain!"
"Too vicious, Chenxi Entertainment is too inhuman!"
The scene of Chenxi Entertainment employees picking up long water pipes to spray water outside was photographed by the media and also broadcast by the media live at the scene.
Netizens laughed into a ball.
【Artificial Dragon King!】
【6, it has to be Chenxi Entertainment that knows how to play!】
【The walking Rain God has appeared, come to the Chenxi Entertainment gate, it will rain when there are many people!】
Regardless, Qiguan Mingzhu finally entered Chenxi Entertainment.
After netizens laughed, they came to open the market again.
【Place your bets, place your bets, bet on signing with Chenxi Entertainment choose A, bet on signing with Tianding choose B, bet on signing with Hong Kong choose C, bet on signing with other mainland companies choose D】
【Three shorts and one long, choose the longest! Eh, wait, D feels wrong, let's choose A!】
【B, Tianding, matching with Ji Qinglian is the best!】
【C, the Hong Kong media are quite aggressive, Hao Zhongyi Entertainment just issued a statement again, saying that this time they are determined to take Qiguan Mingzhu, it feels like this company is very fighting-spirited】
Netizens saw this comment and ran to see the so-called latest statement, unable to help but jump their eyelids.
Good guy, the tone is very big!
Hao Zhongyi Entertainment: 【Solemnly promise, as long as Qiguan Mingzhu signs with our company, the company is willing to provide a 1-9 split, the company gets 1, the star gets 9!】
【The company will build an exclusive team around Qiguan Mingzhu; she is the next Superstar! All company resources are fully open to her, giving her 100% autonomy!】
【Hong Kong is in line with the international track; this is the financial center of Asia, and in the future, it will also become the most open economic center in the world. Starting from Hong Kong, Qiguan Mingzhu will welcome the best entertainment resources!】
A Hong Kong entertainment company is so arrogant, mainland netizens couldn't sit still.
【Hong Kong is Hong Kong's, not your Hao Zhongyi Entertainment's】
【I am the world, right?】
【The mainland also has resources from Hong Kong, why must we sign with Hao Zhongyi Entertainment?】
【Although, why don't you become the world's number one entertainment company first before saying this?】
After Qiguan Mingzhu entered Chenxi, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Sui Lingfang was waiting at the gate and said with a smile: "Welcome, Qiguan Mingzhu, welcome to the Chenxi Entertainment family."
Qiguan Mingzhu shook hands with her, "Thank you, Chenxi Entertainment is very good, and this is also my honor."
People had already arrived, and Sui Lingfang didn't want to talk to her about why she stayed in the car for two hours.
These were meaningless.
She took the initiative to mention: "Then shall we go to the conference room now to discuss contract-related matters?"
Qiguan Mingzhu: "My lawyer will arrive within ten minutes; let's wait until she arrives."
Sui Lingfang: "Okay, then I'll take you to visit Chenxi Entertainment first."
Qiguan Mingzhu was very interested in the display stands of Jin Li and Xi Sister Meng Ze placed at the gate and asked:
"Are these figures customized by the company?"
Sui Lingfang shook her head: "No, the images of the figures are made by fans. We obtained authorization from the fans and cannot use them for commercial purposes."
Qiguan Mingzhu exclaimed.
"No wonder they are made so beautifully. From these images, I can feel their love for Jin Li and Meng Meng."
Sui Lingfang took the opportunity to mention: "If you join Chenxi Entertainment, there will also be a display stand belonging to you here."
Qiguan Mingzhu said crisply: "Then I want to arrange my own display stand personally, is that okay?"
Sui Lingfang was a bit surprised and said: "Of course, as long as you don't find it troublesome."
Qiguan Mingzhu: "Not troublesome, I am very happy to arrange these."
She thought for a moment and said: "If I hadn't become a star, the job I chose after graduation might have been scene planning."
While Sui Lingfang and Qiguan Mingzhu were chatting warmly, Chenxi Entertainment also saw the statement first released by Hao Zhongyi Entertainment.
A manager suggested to Zou Da: "Why doesn't Chenxi also issue a statement to prove our determination to support Qiguan Mingzhu?"
Zou Da immediately vetoed it.
"No, when Jin Li and Xi Sister Meng Ze signed, there was no such big battle. If Qiguan Mingzhu does this as soon as she comes, not to mention what these two stars think, their fans will definitely have opinions, and netizens will also tease."
Breaking the rules is never difficult.
What is difficult is how Chenxi Entertainment balances it after the rules are broken.
The movement made by Qiguan Mingzhu also made busy artists notice.
Ji Qinglian saw the news on the internet and called Jin Li for the first time.
Her tone was a bit anxious: "Jin Li, have you seen the news on the internet?"
"I suspect Pearl encountered trouble; she is not a hesitant person. Once there is hesitation, something big must have happened!"
Jin Li said calmly: "Don't worry, I've already seen it and communicated with her."
There was nothing to hide about what Qiguan Mingzhu encountered; this was something all 4 of them had to bear together.
"Hao Zhongyi Entertainment used a dirty trick, saying they have our music copyright. If Pearl doesn't sign with their company, they will take us to court and collect a large amount of music copyright breach-of-contract penalties."
Ji Qinglian frowned: "All the copyrights of our Pink Girls music are actually still in the hands of Hao Zhongyi Entertainment; this is not right."
"Seeing this company use this matter to hold Pearl hostage, with a villainous face, I don't believe Hao Zhongyi Entertainment would wait so long to act, and why choose Pearl?"
"My contract also expired last year, but Hao Zhongyi Entertainment didn't appear at all; why did they appear this year?"
Jin Li pondered: "This is also where I am very confused. Hao Zhongyi Entertainment doesn't look like a generous one. They didn't collect copyright fees before; why are they making a fuss about this matter now?"
"And we have checked for so long and don't know who holds the music copyright. If it were in the hands of Hao Zhongyi Entertainment, they would have jumped out to ask us for money long ago."
Ji Qinglian said: "I recall the events of that year now, and I only remember that Hao Zhongyi Entertainment was sold and divided by the wealthy family. The company existed in name only, and the company disbanded that year."
"Suddenly popping up these past few days, do you think it might not be the company we are familiar with, but someone just wearing the name 'Hao Zhongyi Entertainment' to make waves?"
Jin Li shook her head: "I don't know. The affairs inside the wealthy family are very complex. We were just workers in their hands that year and had no right to speak."
"I will send someone to investigate this matter, and I will tell you if there is any news."
Ji Qinglian smiled: "Let me contribute too; I'll pay for the investigation fee."
Jin Li was happy: "I won't be polite with you; of course, everyone will split it equally. I also really want to know what happened over there."
After hanging up, she checked her phone and found that in the San Yuetian group chat, they were also talking about Qiguan Mingzhu.
Jin Li and the others were also frequently tagged.
Especially Chen Lin, who tagged the most diligently, all asking her:
【What happened to Sister Pearl?】
【Did Sister Pearl encounter any difficulties?】
【Sister Pearl didn't have an accident, did she?!!】
Jin Li popped up and replied: 【Nothing, don't worry, hidden】
She sat back at the desk and picked up the 5-3 to continue doing problems.
When she was immersed in learning, the world seemed to become quiet, and the hustle and bustle of the mortal world were all far away.
Wherever she was, that place became the center of the universe, the only focused light.
The netizens watching her live broadcast room were originally very noisy, and the barrage flew up.
But when they saw Jin Li sitting in the chair quietly doing problems, unconsciously, some kind of DNA in their bodies seemed to surrender uncontrollably, silently following her to read and do problems together.
Some netizens knocked and sent a comment.
【I was quite worried about Qiguan Mingzhu, but seeing Jin Li so calm, my heart also calmed down. Li Bao is the eternal god!】
One hour later.
An announcement issued by Chenxi Entertainment drew a full stop to this heated discussion.
Chenxi Entertainment: 【Warmly welcome @Qiguan Mingzhu to officially join the Chenxi Entertainment family!】
【You are the shining light on the stage and the new force injected into the company. From today on, we will work side by side, with your tenacious will and persistent spirit, to jointly open up a broader dream stage.】
【On the long road ahead, we will trust and help each other, move forward with one heart, speak with works, and let love happen. Set off immediately, and go to the brilliant star journey together!】
Netizens rushed over, and this announcement was quickly topped to the hot search.
【Ultimately chose Chenxi Entertainment after all】
【So why did you stay in the car for two hours? What happened in those two hours!】
【Is there a possibility that those two hours were a game? Qiguan Mingzhu wanted to make Chenxi Entertainment more nervous, so she deliberately didn't get out of the car】
【It's not that simple. There must have been many entertainment companies still sending her invitations in those two hours, but she still chose Chenxi in the end】
Many netizens also ran to leave comments under Hao Zhongyi Entertainment's blog.
【Slapped in the face, does it hurt?】
【You only have this much ability?】
【Why didn't you poach the person? I was looking forward to Qiguan Mingzhu becoming a superstar!】
Netizens were mocking, and suddenly the words 【Content does not exist】 appeared before their eyes.
Damn, Hao Zhongyi Entertainment can't afford to lose, they actually deleted the post!
Netizens originally just wanted to satisfy their mouths and leave, but they actually deleted the post. No, continue to fight for eight hundred rounds.
Soon, the tag #Hao Zhongyi Entertainment deleted the post because they couldn't afford to lose# landed on the second hot search.
And the number one hot search was #Qiguan Mingzhu signs with Chenxi Entertainment#.
Jin Li didn't look at her phone when doing problems. After she finished doing problems, she saw the comments left by netizens in the comment area, all congratulating Chenxi Entertainment for getting another fierce general.
Jin Li looked and said with a smile: "Thank you everyone, welcome Qiguan Mingzhu to join Chenxi Entertainment, and send out 100 more scratch-offs today."
She changed the subject: "January has arrived, and the college entrance examination is in June this year. I signed up for the local academic ability test. Did you sign up?"
Her tone was seductive: "You have learned with me for so long, do you want to verify your strength? Go take the exam, you can't buy a loss, you can't buy a trap. If you pass, you can participate in the college entrance examination together!"
"Life is only a short hundred years. You have to participate in the college entrance examination where thousands of people cross the single-plank bridge once or twice. Every time you participate, you will have different feelings."
"You don't need to worry about occupying the admission quota. The college entrance examination filing ratio is usually 1:1.05~1:1.2. If you are admitted and don't want to go, then you don't need to worry even more."
"By the way, the number of college entrance examination candidates has been decreasing every year in recent years. It is said that this year is a new low. Do you really not want to try? Let's participate together and cheer together!"
After Jin Li finished speaking, she closed the live broadcast room and went off the air easily.
Instead, a bunch of netizens seduced by her were secretly struggling.
【She really thinks highly of me. I might not even pass the high school academic ability test, and she thinks I will be admitted to university】
【Everyone read with me:
Pass the academic ability test—I defeated capital!
Don't pass the academic ability test—It's over, I was set up by capital!
Focus on never internal friction, not passing is definitely not my problem, so everyone sign up together!】
Jin Li didn't know that because of her words, the phones of education bureaus in some places were blown up again and again.
After she went off the air, she joined the Pink Girls group video call. All members had arrived to discuss the matter of Hao Zhongyi Entertainment.
Because they didn't know the situation in Hong Kong, their impression of Hao Zhongyi Entertainment was still stuck before the contract termination, so they discussed for a long time, all speculating.
Soon, the topic slipped into conspiracy theories.
Xi Sister Meng Ze said with a smile: "It's impossible that this Hao Zhongyi Entertainment is just a shell company, obtaining authorization to use this name, but actually having to struggle from zero."
"Because they can't get the support resources from inside the wealthy family, they hit on other ideas."
"This music copyright contract is real, but the contract was not signed by him, but in someone else's hands, so they took it to scare us, but didn't dare to actually file a lawsuit against us, because others didn't want to sue us."
After Jin Li joined, she heard this sentence.
She said with interest: "Then, the question comes, whose hands is our music copyright in?"
A flash of inspiration hit her mind, and she thought of a possibility.
"Could it be in the hands of the wealthy family members? This explains why others can take photos of the contract."
"Because the current president of Hao Zhongyi Entertainment is also a member of the wealthy family and can access this contract. But because the signatory is not himself, he has always been afraid to act rashly."
Qiguan Mingzhu said angrily: "I sent someone to investigate. If this company is really just scaring me and wants to trick me into going over..."
She took out a screaming chicken and squeezed it hard.
The screaming chicken screamed.
"I will make them pay the price!"
She, Qiguan Mingzhu, nicknamed Qiguan Roast.
Determined to let them see her power! ===== CHAPTER 501 =====
