Chapter 250: Joining the Group

Genius, remember this site's address: 【Ai Bi Lou】 https: //

With Gao Yuanyuan back, Cheng Chen naturally couldn't bury himself in script study like before.

She returned to Jingcheng mainly to see Cheng Chen, and planned to spend the rest of her time traveling around.

Just as she said, without a company behind her, she had to handle everything herself.

But her "traveling around" wasn't to find roles—it was because an advertising endorsement had come to her.

She'd need to go to Jin Sheng to shoot the ad soon, roughly for a week.

The couple hadn't seen each other in a long time and were about to separate again; it was like dry tinder meeting flame—ignite at once.

That night, they shook the earth and moved the mountains; Cheng Chen, fueled by a hint of alcohol, was utterly brilliant.

……

The next day, he accompanied Gao Yuanyuan on two more walks around Jingcheng.

But both were public figures; whenever they went out, they were fully disguised, and wandering around was no better than staying home.

Regarding her career, Gao Yuanyuan spoke without intent, but Cheng Chen listened with purpose.

He couldn't let her keep running around outside; during this time with Gao Yuanyuan, Cheng Chen kept thinking about how to help her solve this issue.

Unlike Yan Danchen's easygoing nature, she had her own convictions.

She definitely wouldn't join his company at this stage, since she feared gossip.

"Sis, what do you think of Hua Yi?"

Gao Yuanyuan, reading on the balcony, heard him and asked:

"Why bring this up all of a sudden? Hua Yi's reputation isn't good right now."

Over the past two days, Hua Jie's departure had dominated every news outlet, and entertainment tabloids were everywhere.

Online, many factions had formed; Wang Jinghua had so many artists, each with loyal fans.

Why did their idol switch agencies? Obviously because they were grateful to Hua Jie—Hua Jie was such a great person.

She had charisma; their idol's choice was right.

To prove this view, fans dredged up all sorts of reasons: Hua Yi treated artists cruelly.

Hua Yi was riddled with internal factions; Hua Jie was overwhelmed and forced out.

Even the Wang Brothers were viciously attacked online.

Thus, although Hua Yi still maintained its outward appearance, its reputation, frankly, wasn't good.

Of course, only people in the entertainment industry and some fans thought this way; the vast majority of the public knew nothing about it.

Many didn't even know who Wang Jinghua was—you'd say she was Chen Daoming's agent.

Someone might respond: Oh~ Chen Daoming? I know him—the guy who always plays emperors. His agent switched agencies?

What's an agent?

Hearing Gao Yuanyuan's words, Cheng Chen shook his head and said:

"Hua Yi's reputation is bad now, but as the saying goes, a dead camel is still bigger than a horse—as long as it stands there, it's a mountain no competitor can surpass."

They're certainly in a rough spot now, since Wang Jinghua's departure was sudden, but once they recover their footing, they'll definitely quell this matter.

How to quell it? The only path left before the Wang Brothers is to appease the artists who didn't leave."

Artists are the lifeblood of entertainment companies; most of their annual income comes from commissions on artists' TV dramas, commercial appearances, and ads.

Also, giants like Hua Yi can produce their own TV dramas and films, earning from ads and box office revenue.

At this stage, Hua Yi walks on two legs: artist economy and film box office.

Of course, these two support each other.

"How to appease them?"

Gao Yuanyuan put down her book and asked eagerly.

"Simple: money! Increase actors' profit shares, or give some actors equity—nothing beyond these two methods."

At this point, we must mention Xiaoming Ge.

Though his acting career has been up and down, he's a master at business.

After Wang Jinghua's departure, Hua Yi suffered major gaps in artist management, followed by more artists leaving.

After reflecting deeply, Hua Yi decided to put artists first and implemented an equity reform.

Of course, this reform benefited artists and also brought in outside capital. (End of chapter not yet reached!)
