Chapter 517: Fortune Does Not Come in Pairs, Misfortune Does Not Come Alone; Evil People Are Punished by Evil People

Sanyuetian spent this New Year very easily.

But for Tianding Entertainment, this New Year was very busy.

Everyone responsible for the contract negotiations with Sanyuetian was working overtime in the company, serving the four top artists in Sanyuetian.

On the clause of "designated agent," they were stuck for more than ten days without any progress at all.

The team reported to the president, and the president made the decision.

A staff member said: "Because of Sanyuetian's requirements, we have communicated with every first-tier agent in the company, but they have many concerns and are not willing to accept Sanyuetian."

The president frowned, "Why are they unwilling?"

The staff member said: "Many of the reasons given are that the resources they hold are already saturated. If another Sanyuetian member comes, the resources in their hands will not be enough to divide, and they are afraid that other first-tier artists will have opinions."

The president still frowned: "Every member of Sanyuetian has super high popularity and fame. As long as they join the agent's team, they can bring their own resources. Where is the need to worry about resources? Do these agents have other concerns?"

The staff member hesitated for a while and said: "I had a detailed talk with one of the agents. The wind revealed by that agent is that they all know the company wants to cultivate new management, and also intends to take Sanyuetian to let these newcomers practice."

"So this group of agents doesn't think that under the leadership of newcomers, Sanyuetian can still maintain its existing commercial value."

"In case something goes wrong, with Sanyuetian's past popularity, the fans will probably riot. This is an obvious huge crisis, and they can't find any way to handle the public relations."

"It is this concern that makes them unwilling to take over Sanyuetian."

The president took off his glasses and reached out to pinch his brow.

A bit of a headache.

So it is said that artists shouldn't be too good, otherwise it is too easy to be targeted.

If Sanyuetian hadn't been so explosive, he could have persuaded the sons of other directors not to focus their attention on Sanyuetian.

But now, these people just want to be Sanyuetian's agents. What can he do?

Suddenly, the president thought of something and said: "How about this, you tell those first-tier agents that if Sanyuetian is given to newcomers, it will never exceed half a year."

"With Sanyuetian's existing commercial value, it is just a waste of half a year's time, not enough to let their popularity flow away too quickly, at most just disappearing from the public eye for a period of time."

"These agents have the means to pull their popularity back up. They should accept this reason."

The staff member said: "Okay, I will go and talk to those agents again."

The president called him back again: "You should also follow up more on Sanyuetian's side, see what other treaties they want to propose, and implement the contract as soon as possible."

"Okay."

Besides Tianding Entertainment having a headache, Li Xunfang also had a headache this New Year.

When her consciousness woke up, she had already been transferred to a general ward.

Zhao Rui looked at her with a worried face and asked with concern: "Xunfang, you have been in a coma for two days. Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Li Xunfang couldn't help but be stunned, "The second day of the Lunar New Year? Wasn't I still eating New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve before?"

Zhao Rui: "I also want to ask you this question. How did you choke while eating and fall into a coma?"

Li Xunfang said confusedly: "I choked and fell into a coma? How come I have no impression at all? I just felt a bit tired and then lost consciousness."

She asked nervously: "What did the doctor say?"

Zhao Rui: "Because of oral obstruction, you went into emergency shock and fell into a coma. They said if you had been sent here later, you might have been gone."

There was one more point she didn't say.

The doctor also said that such a simple operation actually didn't need to be sent to the ICU; just go to a local clinic in time to take out the obstruction.

But because Li Xunfang was sent too late, the shock was a bit serious, so she had to be rescued.

But which hospital to send her to was decided by Li Xunfang's parents.

The parents were also worried that Li Xunfang had some health problems, so they thought of going to a big hospital in the city, not a small hospital in the county.

Who could have thought that it was because of the delay in sending her here that Li Xunfang's condition worsened.

Zhao Rui thought of this and couldn't help but say: "Xunfang, why don't you go to the Daoist temple to worship? Are you too unlucky recently, getting sick and having a fever for no reason?"

Li Xunfang realized later and felt scared at this moment.

So she had once brushed shoulders with the God of Death?

Cold sweat instantly broke out on her forehead, and she was a bit lost.

"I, I, wait until I am discharged from the hospital, I will go to the Daoist temple to worship. No, forget it, I won't go to the Daoist temple, I will go to the Buddhist temple, um, I will pray to Buddha!"

Li Xunfang thought that Seeing Jin Li liked to go to the Daoist temple. If she was photographed by paparazzi also going to the Daoist temple to worship, and the paparazzi said she was learning from Seeing Jin Li, what should she do?

She didn't want to be a head shorter than Seeing Jin Li!

Zhao Rui hesitated and said: "There is another urgent problem that needs you to make a decision."

Li Xunfang looked over, "What?"

She had just woken up, her face was very pale, and plus her eyes were big and her face shape was small, which made her look seriously ill.

Zhao Rui lowered her head, not daring to look at her, and said in a low voice: "Modern Women called me and said they want you to pay liquidated damages."

"Liquidated damages?!" Li Xunfang's voice was a bit high, "Why should I pay liquidated damages? What did I do to apologize to them!"

Her brain turned rapidly, and she suddenly felt very tired, but she still tried to find a way.

She had complained about Modern Women, but it was all private complaints. Could it be that she was exposed by paparazzi video lip-reading?

But lip-reading is not omnipotent; she could completely use other reasons to refuse.

Zhao Rui sighed and said: "Modern Women said the return rate is too high. Customers stuck to the seven-day no-reason return time and applied for a refund within the seventh day."

"They checked the information of the returning customers internally and said they were all your fans, who commented after purchasing that they came for you to place the order, and then returned it."

Zhao Rui guessed that the return rate was probably as high as 40%, which was why Modern Women wanted to pursue Li Xunfang for breach of contract.

When signing the contract, there was such a clause: you cannot call on fans to maliciously brush orders and maliciously refund.

Modern Women was now using this clause to talk about things.

Li Xunfang sneered: "What if those people were specifically disguised as my fans? They believe whatever they say, push all the responsibility on me, and then hide themselves?"

"Besides, who knows if it was a black fan bought by a rival to specifically smear me? Because the return rate is too high leading to breach of contract, I don't recognize it!"

She thought for a while and lay down on the hospital bed again.

"Now I have a headache, I don't want to talk to Modern Women about this. If we want to talk, then talk in court. You can release some wind at that time, saying that Modern Women wants me to pay liquidated damages while I am sick and hospitalized, without any benevolence or morality!"

Li Xunfang sneered: "When they need me, they are respectful; when they don't need me, they want me to pay money. No way!"

Zhao Rui didn't specifically hide Li Xunfang's matter in the circle.

There were schedule parties who came to find Li Xunfang to ask if she could still run the schedules after the New Year, and Zhao Rui didn't give a definite answer.

"Not sure. She is still hospitalized, doing a full body check-up, and then busy with the lawsuit with Modern Women."

When the schedule parties heard this, they all became curious.

"Why are you suing Modern Women?"

Zhao Rui: "It's not a big deal. Modern Women thinks the return rate is too high and threw the pot on Xunfang's head, but Xunfang can't take this anger and said at worst we will see each other in court."

What Zhao Rui said soon fermented in the circle and quickly reached the ears of the president of Modern Women.

To say how the president of Modern Women knew this news, one had to thank the president of a competing brand for specially coming to congratulate.

A brand president specially called the president of Modern Women on the third day of the Lunar New Year, under the banner of paying a New Year's visit, and after saying a few flattering words, he revealed the main topic.

"Business is not easy to do now, but no matter how hard it is, you can't blame the stars. After all, the out-of-stock rate of some stars is indeed not as high as internet celebrities, but the price is far more expensive than internet celebrities."

These words, which pointed to something, made the president of Modern Women instantly speechless.

This president continued on the phone: "If I invited a star to be a spokesperson, I wouldn't let this star bear the responsibility of the return rate. It's too shameful to say it out."

"Products being returned is not necessarily the star's problem. Stars are only responsible for promotion, not for controlling product quality."

"If the bag is made too poorly, that's their own problem. It is even more necessary to consider it comprehensively, to see if the bag's pricing is too high, if the target population's positioning is wrong, and if the quality control is done poorly..."

"A brand throwing the responsibility on the star is a bit of shirking responsibility, don't you think?"

The smile on the face of the president of Modern Women instantly stiffened.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately called someone to check, only to find that it was Li Xunfang who had specifically leaked the wind.

Now the president of Modern Women regretted it a bit. If he had known, he wouldn't have invited Li Xunfang to co-brand.

The fact that she could make a scene with Yamei was enough to show that this star didn't care about the brand's image at all, especially those unknown small brands.

Endorse is endorse, co-brand is co-brand. Anyway, she had already promoted it; what does the life or death of the brand have to do with her?

The president of Modern Women was so angry that his teeth itched, and he called his assistant and said: "Hurry up and take her co-branded product off the shelves, just say it's sold out!"

He didn't want to let Li Xunfang earn another cent!

The assistant hesitated and said: "But president, because the first-day sales were explosive, you ordered the factory to add an order of 200,000 pieces. There are currently 150,000 pieces in the warehouse. Do you really want to take them off the shelves?"

The president was so angry that he almost vomited blood, gritted his teeth and said: "Sell!"

"Tell the factory not to produce anymore. Sell this batch of co-branded inventory, and then take it off the shelves permanently!"

During the New Year, Seeing Jin Li also heard the agent mention Li Xunfang's matter.

But she didn't care; instead, she was interested in another IP project proposed by Chenxi Entertainment.

Sui Lingfang smiled and said: "A few days ago, fans edited the blessing videos of all your Pink Girls members and put them in the same video, and it even hit the trending search."

"The company feels that every member of Pink Girls has the value of IP development, plus the previous game co-branded figures launched by Qiguan Mingzhu and Ji Qinglian had a very good response."

"Those two game figures of theirs have already sold out and are in short supply, so Chenxi Entertainment wants to take you three first-tier stars as the core to create a co-branded figure."

Seeing Jin Li still remembered the images of these two co-branded figures; Pearl and the captain both gave them to her.

One was a delicate and soft human wealth flower, and the other was a cool and sassy chivalrous woman with a red lotus mark on her brow.

Seeing Jin Li said: "The quality of these two co-branded items launched by the game company is very high. Is the company sure it wants to do it?"

Sui Lingfang: "Sure, senior management wants to re-develop your IP images, which was also inspired by LADUDU; this blind box is really too popular."

"However, after the figures are developed, they will only be tested among fans first, and the pricing will be on the high side. Only after it is determined that there is great potential will more funds be invested to expand production."

She said: "Don't worry about the figures specifically; currently, the company is just developing them for fun."

This call was also to seek her opinion and obtain authorization.

Seeing Jin Li naturally had no problem; Chenxi Entertainment's profit sharing on their contracts had always been an industry benchmark.

If it weren't for the company having some fame, plus not being greedy and willing to spend money on stars, Seeing Jin Li and the others wouldn't have chosen Chenxi Entertainment.

Sometimes a company doesn't need to be too enterprising; as long as it can find its own positioning, it can have a place in the industry.

Daring not to think about becoming big and strong, but not going bankrupt is true.

Time passed in a flash, and it came to the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Seeing Jin Li officially started work!

Many artists rested in the crew during the New Year, and only a small part returned to their hometowns for the New Year. These artists also rushed back on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

So on the day work started on the fourth day, most of the crew members were in good spirits and excellent condition.

When Ye Weijie was filming, he could feel a kind of "silky feeling."

Smooth.

Too smooth!

Ye Weijie thought to himself: "It must be because I worshiped the God of Wealth crazily during the New Year. The God of Wealth blesses me to be smooth and make a big fortune!"

On the first day of work, the director didn't put intensity on the actors; everyone filmed happily and easily.

During the break, besides brushing questions, Seeing Jin Li would also look at the crew's set in a daze.

This look was not known, but the look was a shock.

Wait, how did Wang Hongdou get involved with Ma Mingqi's agent, Luo Fan?

The two didn't flirt on the surface; Seeing Jin Li judged it by the intertwined lines on their bodies.

Wang Hongdou and Luo Fan both have common career luck!

Seeing Jin Li's eyes brightened, and she thought of a fun thing.

If Luo Fan wants to jump to Chenxi Entertainment, and Wang Hongdou and Luo Fan have a common career line, does it also mean that she will jump to Chenxi Entertainment?

And with more and more artists under Luo Fan, will his relationship with Ma Mingqi still be as equal as before?

Before, the two could achieve each other in their careers, but when the relationship changes, will their careers also change accordingly?

Holding this thought, Seeing Jin Li specially stayed in the crew after finishing her own scenes.

Even if she was brushing questions in the noisy crew, it couldn't stop her heart that wanted to eat melons. ===== CHAPTER 518 =====
