Chapter 608: Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Qinglian, what a witch who steals luck!

Compared to the anxiety of young artists, the physical and mental state of veteran artists is much better.

In the past, they were the ones being suppressed; now, they are the ones turning the tables.

Although their commercial value hasn't increased much, at least they have many more individual appearances.

On one hand, this is arranged by the company; on the other hand, due to the wave of nostalgia on the internet, many production teams are willing to give them a chance for exposure and invite them to participate in events.

However, the market is limited; the resurgence of a group of veteran artists means a decrease in exposure for a group of new artists.

The first to be affected are naturally the artists of Tian Ding Entertainment.

Their mechanism of using points to redeem high-quality appearances for a chance to get ahead has been canceled and replaced by the company assigning high-quality appearances.

Those with connections seek them out to get their appearances back or even get better ones, while those without connections can only stare in frustration.

Not only do they watch their points expire, but they also watch as batches of veteran artists seize the market.

Originally, production teams tended to use young artists, but then they suddenly changed their tune and wanted veteran artists.

If one says the veteran artists didn't exert effort in this, or that Tian Ding Entertainment didn't nod in approval, the production teams wouldn't have changed so easily.

Thinking of this, some veteran artists couldn't help but sigh: "It's a good thing I stood on Ming Yingyue's side in time, otherwise I'd probably just be staring in frustration now, just like those new artists, blankly watching appearances get snatched away."

Young artists are holding gatherings, and veteran artists are also initiating gatherings.

Their gathering locations are more hidden, and those who can attend are all artists with very long seniority.

One artist sighed, and another immediately replied: "Yes, we can get so many appearances all because of Ming Yingyue's distribution.

It's just that I'm a bit worried; the company has allocated all the resources to us, and those young artists must be very unconvinced."

A veteran artist rolled their eyes: "Unconvinced? If they're unconvinced, they can just bottle it up!"

"They just haven't cultivated enough. It's just having an appearance snatched; they show me disrespect in public when we meet in the company and don't even call me by my title. People who don't know better would think she's some kind of superstar!

Isn't she just a first-tier star? We are all first-tier; my seniority is deeper than hers, so why shouldn't she respect me?"

These words resonated with many veteran artists.

"That's right, the young artists I've seen recently have no manners. In the past, when we met in the company, they would greet me and call me 'senior,' but now they don't even call me that!"

"Those young artists seem to hate us, but they could join Ming Yingyue's faction. It's not like no young artists have joined, and they've also received many appearances."

"As fellow first-tier artists, why do they have more appearances than us? In terms of influence, everyone is actually the same."

The veteran artists gathered together to boast about themselves, one after another saying they would give the young artists a taste of their power.

Originally, this was nothing.

Everyone boasts in their own circles.

But the problem was that one veteran artist drank a bit too much that night, filmed the scene of everyone boasting, and in a moment of impulsiveness, sent it to a young artist.

And that young artist had always been respectful to him when they met before, calling him "senior" every time.

But ever since the veteran artist snatched the high-quality appearance that this young artist had redeemed with points, this artist would act as if they didn't see the veteran artist whenever they met.

It Match Match Match Match Match Made the veteran artist feel so stifled that he wanted to use this method to mock the other person fiercely.

The veteran artist dared to send the video because he knew for sure that this artist had only renewed their contract with Tian Ding Entertainment last year, and there is a clause within Tian Ding Entertainment:

Company matters must be resolved within the company, and no one is allowed to spread them outside.

Therefore, the confrontations between artists are all resolved within the company; no one would openly say who they are at odds with outside.

It is very difficult for paparazzi to dig up this kind of dirt on Tian Ding Entertainment artists, and over time, the rumor that "Tian Ding Entertainment artists are very united" has spread.

The veteran artist calculated this point, knowing that the young artist wouldn't spread it outside, otherwise, if he received even a hint of wind, he would go to report it.

At that time, this young artist wouldn't even think about having appearances and would definitely face being shelved by the company.

The company's resources are limited, and there are many first-tier artists.

If they could kick this young first-tier artist out, other artists would be very happy.

The young artist received the video that night and was very angry, wishing he could send the video to a familiar paparazzi, but he finally held back.

He held back from sending the video to the paparazzi and also held back from blocking the veteran artist.

What kind of logic is that? You snatch my appearance and still expect me to greet you respectfully every time I see you?

Your brain must be clogged with excrement!

The young artist thought about it more and more, tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep. Suddenly, he thought of something, sent this video to Chen Lin, and left a message asking:

【Brother Lin, do you have any way to deal with this?】

Chen Lin happened to be awake and saw this message.

Originally, he thought it was some silly message; young artists love to share silly news, although he considers himself not silly, but an active first-tier surfing enthusiast.

As a result, when he clicked to open it, he saw a group of veteran artists who were usually reticent, boasting ambitiously about wanting to suppress all the young artists.

If it weren't for the fact that videos can't send bullet comments, Chen Lin would have wanted to send a "6."

A friend asked him what to do. Chen Lin thought for a while, didn't answer, but forwarded the video to the March Sky group chat and asked:

【A video sent by a friend at Tian Ding. I don't know where he got it from. What do you think?】

Before long, Chen Lin's door was knocked on.

The team leader Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Xingdong had just finished showering, bringing with him a refreshing mist of water. He saw the chat message and came over.

He frowned and asked: "An artist from Tian Ding sent this to you. Is it authentic?"

Chen Lin said: "He has no reason to lie to me. Besides, haven't many artists been revealing in the group these past few days that Tian Ding has given a lot of resources to veteran artists? I guess it's because of this reason that veteran artists and new artists have come into conflict."

Before long, Luo Yi and Gu Cheng also came out of their rooms.

They weren't asleep yet and heard the talking outside, so they came out to see.

Luo Yi said: "I also have friends who complain to me that the company gave the appearances arranged for them to others.

That friend of mine has some influence, and plus he is older and has seniority, so he went directly to talk to the high-level executives of the brokerage department. He didn't have a conflict with Ming Yingyue, and not long after, all his appearances were restored."

Gu Cheng raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"So Ming Yingyue is manipulating the young artists in the company who have no power and distributing all their appearances to the veteran artists who have pledged allegiance to her?"

Luo Yi nodded: "It should be. Tian Ding has been in turmoil internally recently, and many positions have become vacant. The people behind Ming Yingyue want to enter the company to control real power, so they are exerting force from the artist side."

Chen Lin asked curiously: "Leader, should we help?"

Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Xingdong shook his head: "We have already left Tian Ding Entertainment. How can we help? This is none of our business."

But the next second, he changed the subject and said: "It's just that we have established Light Moon Media. This is a company. If the company only develops around the business of the four of us, it will be hard to support it alone.

So I'm thinking, can the company poach some potential stocks? We have plenty of resources to cultivate them and bolster our image."

Chen Lin's eyes lit up: "Poach people? This works. I'm happy to do anything that can cause trouble for Tian Ding Entertainment!"

Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Xingdong smiled: "I just have an idea. Specifically, it depends on what Brother Guang thinks. I actually wanted to bring this up to Brother Guang these past few days. This time, it's perfect to send the video over and bring it up with him together."

Zhang Guang wasn't resting either.

After receiving Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Xingdong's video, he immediately sent a "?"

Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Xingdong Match Match Match Match Match Made a video call and explained the cause and effect.

A look of gratification flashed across Zhang Guang's face. He didn't comment on this matter but said:

"You finally have the feeling of being bosses who run a company!

Light Moon Media isn't just mine, but you are still stuck in the status of stars and never ask about company affairs. You really aren't afraid that I'll hollow out the company."

Chen Lin said with a grin: "Brother Guang, you brought me out. If you want to sell me, I have no complaints!"

The other three immediately echoed: "No complaints!"

Zhang Guang said speechlessly: "You guys just use me like a beast of burden. The company is just starting now, and I'm busy arranging your appearances; I don't have time to manage you.

When I'm free and your careers are gradually stable, there won't be a single thing you need to handle that will be missing. Just wait!"

After he finished saying this domineeringly, he turned to mention the chaos within Tian Ding Media.

"I thought you already knew. I didn't expect those young people to be so patient. Tian Ding's authority in their hearts is still very high.

No artist has come to me; those who contact me are company employees. They are very unfamiliar with the current Tian Ding. The strict mechanism of the past has all been overturned by He Yan. Now Tian Ding is He Yan's one-man show.

He Yan has placed his bet on June Summer, but those people don't think highly of June Summer, believing they can't reach the brilliance you have, so they don't want to do promotion for June Summer."

Zhang Guang paused and talked about his plan.

"Currently, I have no plans to sign other artists, especially artists from Tian Ding Entertainment.

You have stayed here; you wouldn't know that Tian Ding has a very strict process for artists changing jobs.

Moreover, they set the breach of contract fees particularly high. Very few people change jobs to other companies during the contract period; those companies cannot afford such huge breach of contract fees."

Zhang Guang thought for a while and said again: "Another point is that Tian Ding has a good relationship with other brands. If an artist changes jobs, the brands are willing to give Tian Ding face and change that artist's endorsement to other artists from Tian Ding.

You have also experienced this. If it weren't for your fans being powerful enough to initiate a boycott and even trigger some extreme behaviors, these brands would have probably taken down your endorsements long ago and replaced them with endorsements from other Tian Ding artists.

Tian Ding is an old-brand company. Even if it is gradually heading toward decline, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. It is impossible for us to completely swallow Tian Ding."

Zhang Guang never thought that Light Moon Media could develop into a behemoth like Tian Ding. This requires the efforts of several generations over a hundred years, and at the same time, it requires constantly promoting other artists and branching out.

Currently, he is satisfied just by handling the appearances of the four artists of March Sky well.

As for money, earning enough for living expenses is fine; there's no need to earn so much.

If you earn too much here, it will also be spat out from other places.

Zhang Guang is still very clear-headed about this.

"But apart from the core circle of not touching artists, we can still think about those staff members at Tian Ding. Artists need an operations team; without a team to do all kinds of work, artists cannot develop so smoothly.

Light Moon Media cannot be supported by me alone. I need to poach a better team for you. In this regard, Tian Ding can satisfy us."

March Sky saw the smile on the corner of Zhang Guang's mouth and had only one thought:

Tian Ding's employees are probably going to be poached in large numbers!

Near the end of the call, Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Xingdong didn't know what he thought of and asked: "By the way, Brother Guang, the company spent so much effort poaching Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Qinglian last year. Now that there is internal turmoil, will it affect her appearances?"

"Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Qinglian?"

Zhang Guang smiled meaningfully, "You don't need to worry about this. As the leader of Pink Girls, she is much more capable than the other members."

After Brother Guang finished speaking, he hung up the phone without any explanation.

Chen Lin asked, bewildered, "What does Brother Guang mean by this? Could it be that because of the turmoil at Tian Ding, Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Qinglian's schedule can actually reach an even higher level?"

Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Xingdong was also unsure, until Gu Cheng suddenly spoke up: "Instead of thinking so much, why not just check her recent schedule and see the quality of her engagements?"

A word to the wise!

Out of curiosity, they checked Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Qinglian's recent schedule.

They discovered that since the Lunar New Year, Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Qinglian's schedule had been—

Excessively good!

Even the carefree Chen Lin couldn't help but exclaim: "With this kind of treatment for her schedule, even when we were at our peak popularity in Tian Ding, we didn't appear so frequently at events for major top-tier luxury brands."

For many of the schedules for March Sky, it was because they were famous themselves that the brands took the initiative to approach them.

But Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Qinglian's fame wasn't that great, yet she could still land those high-quality engagements... there was no need to ask, she was definitely being stuffed into them by Tian Ding.

Luo Yi noticed something and said sharply: "Have you noticed? The time she participated in those high-quality engagements was exactly during the period when we were pretending to negotiate our contracts with Tian Ding."

Could it be that Tian Ding was worried she would run off too, so they stuffed her with a bunch of high-quality engagements to appease her?

After he said this, the others all had a feeling of sudden realization.

They didn't mind Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Qinglian using them as a stepping stone; they hadn't wanted to stay at Tian Ding anyway, and if someone else could snatch the company's engagements from them, that was their own ability.

Now, thinking back to what Brother Guang said, everyone felt a sense of awe without knowing why.

Gu Cheng said slowly, word for word: "Ever since Pink Girl disbanded, each member has been distributed to different companies. Only Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Qinglian entered the largest LP at the time. Although she was exploited by the company, her career was the best."

"From Hao Hao Zhongyi Entertainment to LP, and then to Tian Ding Entertainment, haven't you noticed something special about this?"

A flash of inspiration struck Chen Lin's mind: "Eww, is Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Ji Qinglian a bit of a company-jinx?"

Watson, you've discovered the blind spot!

Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Yan Xingdong immediately said: "I didn't think that, you said it yourself."

The others couldn't help but nod along.

Chen Lin was speechless for a moment and muttered in a low voice: "I just think it's a bit too mystical; every company she stays at ends up with a bad outcome."

Gu Cheng said thoughtfully: "But in every company, she is able to retreat unscathed and also elevate her own resources to a higher level."

Everyone couldn't help but think, what kind of fortune-stealing witch is this!

It really is too mystical!
