Chapter 71 I'm Afraid Lu Jiang Misunderstood

The contract termination dispute between Fan Binbin and Qiong Yao finally happened.

Just like in the original time and space, Qiong Yao expressed her dissatisfaction with Fan Binbin's proposal to terminate the contract, emphasized the importance of the spirit of contract, and demanded 100 million yuan in compensation.

It is winter vacation now.

After the phenomenal hit of "Return of the Condor Heroes 2" during the summer vacation, it once again ushered in a peak in ratings during the winter vacation.

It can be said that the topic of "Return of the Condor Heroes" is still one of the biggest hot topics in the domestic entertainment industry.

At this time, Jinsuo, one of the three beauties in "My Fair Princess", suddenly broke out in a dispute with Qiong Yao.

No need to think about it, the front page headlines will be booked directly and will last for a long time.

Countless media outlets followed up with reports.

In the first version of the report, Fan Binbin took the initiative to terminate the contract, which hurt Qiong Yao's heart and made her angry and demand compensation.

Therefore, the overall public opinion for Fan Binbin was shrouded in dark clouds, so dark and overwhelming that it made people feel breathless.

Almost everyone supports Qiong Yao.

Some people believe that Fan Binbin’s unilateral termination of the contract violates the spirit of the contract and he should bear the liability for breach of contract.

Some people suspect that Fan Binbin terminated the contract in pursuit of higher pay, and think that she is too greedy and ungrateful.

Only a small number of people took a neutral stance, quietly watching and waiting for more detailed reports.

There are also people who support Fan Binbin, but they can be ignored.

For a moment, the word "ungrateful" was almost engraved on Fan Binbin's face.

Fortunately, Fan Binbin also spoke out quickly.

Explained the inside story of taking the initiative to terminate the contract.

Just like in the original time and space, Fan Binbin first expressed his gratitude to Qiong Yao, and then explained the reason. Qiong Yao did not give him enough resources according to the contract, and at the same time restricted his development. He had been treated unfairly for more than two years. Finally, he said that he would use legal means to resolve the issue.
But unfortunately, her channels for expressing her opinions cannot compare to Qiong Yao's.

This clarification did initially attract more people who were neutral and supportive of her, but Qiong Yao once again expressed her dissatisfaction with Fan Binbin's proposal to terminate the contract, and once again emphasized the importance of the spirit of contract.

Some celebrities in the entertainment industry also expressed their support for Qiong Yao and expressed the importance of artistic ethics.

One is a famous Taiwanese writer.

One is a young actor from the mainland.

The volume is totally incomparable.

Even in Taiwan, things have begun to rise from the level of personal discussion to the level of discussion on the professional ethics of mainland actors.

Facing huge negative public pressure.

At this time, Fan Binbin's family was in a gloomy mood.

"Give us some time to think about it, okay? Well, we'll give you an answer soon."

Fan's mother hung up the phone on a boss again.

The content of the phone calls was the same.

As long as you are willing to get your daughter to agree to that, I will help you deal with the current situation. Money and resources are just small problems.

It’s very normal in the entertainment industry.

But it is indeed cruel.

It was agreed earlier that I would help.

Now that the real thing has come, everyone either pretends to be dead or takes off their masks and shows their fangs.

They want your body and want to sign a long-term slave contract.

It's even worse than Qiong Yao's company.

Fan's mother would not really push her daughter into the fire again.

Therefore, we don’t even have a reliable platform to speak out.

Fan Binbin remains confident: "I don't believe that I can't win this lawsuit without them!"

It was an unfair contract to begin with, and the penalty clause in the contract was not 100 million, and I had not done anything to damage the other party's reputation.

She just doesn't believe that the mainland courts will really favor Taiwanese capitalists.

"But even if we win, what's the point of paying less money?"

Fan's mother continued to sigh.

Since my daughter doesn't want to jump into a new kang, I can only go it alone.

But a few bosses on the phone also reminded me just now.

Fan Binbin’s current condition is actually worse than imagined.

It is far more than just terminating the contract with Qiong Yao's company.

Instead, it faces the situation of being banned by the entire Taiwanese circle.

It will probably be difficult to participate in any dramas involving Taiwanese investment in the future.

Not to mention Hong Kong, even first-line stars like Fan Binbin find it difficult to squeeze in now.

The only ones left are mainland projects.

But public opinion is very unfavorable to her now. Without any backing, which dramas would be willing to use her, an artist with a bad record?
Fan's father was relatively calm about this: "The worst that can happen is I'll just stop being an actor!"

Can a living person suffocate urine?

You can still support yourself by doing something else, opening a small shop, or learning some skills.

In fact, Fan Binbin thought the same thing in 96.

At that time, she failed the entrance exam to Beijing Film Academy and her career had not made any progress, so she decided to return to Shandong and change her career.

As a result, Liu Xuehua introduced her to Qiong Yao, and she later participated in "Return of the Pearl".
After hearing this, Fan's mother didn't say anything. After a moment of silence, she asked Fan Binbin, "Why don't you go find Lu Jiang? You have a good relationship with him."

"no!"

Before she could finish her words, Fan Binbin shook her head and raised her voice tone significantly, as if Fan's mother had seriously touched her bottom line.

In fact, Lu Jiang is indeed her red line.

Although Lu Jiang had promised her that she could go to him if she was desperate, she really didn't want to go to him at this critical moment.

So embarrassing!

No matter what, we have to win the lawsuit first.

By then, I will be free and have a clean record.

Besides, Lu Jiang is still preparing for the Spring Festival Gala. What if it affects him?
In addition, Fan Binbin also has some concerns.

She has seen too many realities in the past few days, and there is no preparation at all for people to turn against each other.

What if Lu Jiang is just like them and is just talking?
This is very possible.

After all, the matter has been fermenting for three days.

There was no text message or phone call from Lu Jiang either.

He also refuses to accept interviews from paparazzi.

Although Fan Binbin always defended him by saying "he is very busy".

But in the current desperate situation.

There is indeed some loss of confidence.

That's why she didn't want to talk to Lu Jiang even more.

Fan Binbin didn't want to shatter the last moonlight in his heart.

"Then tell me, what should we do now?"

Fan's mother sat down on the sofa with a worried look on her face.

"Contact the media, the more the better, even if you have to pay me. I believe justice will prevail in the hearts of the people!"

Fan Binbin became furious.

No matter how much I begged Qiong Yao, I still ended up with this result.

Then make the injustice you have suffered known to the public.

Since so many hypocritical guys are waiting for me to bow my head.

Then I won’t bow my head.

Even if my career is ruined, I will leave with my head held high and my chest held high.
The desire to fight burned fiercely in Fan Binbin's heart.

However, at this moment, the phone that had been silent suddenly lit up.

Fan Binbin immediately picked it up and opened it. It was a text message from Lu Jiang:
"Turn on the TV, watch the Chinese entertainment report, and watch me vent my anger for you!"

Even before he saw the TV, Fan Binbin's eyes were wet.

The heroic spirit that was just in her heart suddenly turned into a girlish look, and her little mouth pouted unconsciously.

"Bingbing, what's wrong with you? Whose text message is this?"

Upon seeing this, Fan's mother immediately asked, "Is it Lu Jiang, he doesn't want to care?"

Fan Binbin didn't answer, just wiped his tears.

Fan's mother frowned and sighed, "No one is reliable."

Fortunately, Fan Binbin has calmed down: "Mom, turn on the TV quickly."

"Why are you watching TV at this hour?"

"Hey, open it quickly~"

Soon, I pressed a few channels on the remote control and locked onto "China Entertainment Report". The timing was just right and the opening credits had just finished playing.

This issue of the report spent five minutes specifically reporting on the gossip about Fan Binbin and Qiong Yao.

More than three minutes of it are Lu Jiang’s views on this:
"I have a general understanding of Bingbing's situation. People say she is ungrateful, and I think that's inappropriate.

We've known each other for a long time. In 98, I asked her to help me shoot the music video for "Fairy Tale". Besides being an actress, I also wanted to help her out. At that time, she was broke. She borrowed money from a friend for the salary for "Return of the Condor Heroes 1", but the friend ran away, leaving her with no money to eat.
Salary? You're overthinking it. Her contract has no base salary or allowances. She has to pay for her own food, lodging, and phone bills. Her company is in Taiwan, and her monthly phone bill is over a hundred yuan. And it's an eight-year contract. How can she earn money if she doesn't find a way to film?
Famous? Even if she's famous, she doesn't earn any money. Before "My Fair Princess" became a hit in mainland China, she became a bit famous with the music video for "Fairy Tale". At that time, she also received many advertising projects, but her agency wouldn't let her shoot them. Otherwise, why would she later assist me in commercial performances to earn a living?

I don't understand what her company is thinking. When an actor becomes popular, isn't that a good time for her to make money? Doesn't the company make more money if she makes more? It's a good thing, so why not let her make money and not arrange other dramas for her? Is this the same as putting her on ice? She might as well not have become popular.
Have you ever been offered a commercial? Yes, but only one. I can't believe Jinsuo is so famous, but only one advertiser in the country wanted her to do a commercial. After she became famous in my music video, she received at least four or five business offers, including a TV series.
So I think there are probably two reasons why employees leave their jobs: one is that the company doesn't pay them enough, and the other is that they feel wronged. Think about it yourself, isn't this the truth?
I think we still need to communicate well. I think Teacher Qiong Yao is not a capitalist. If there is a misunderstanding here, we should sit down and talk calmly. We have an old saying that goes, 'Gentlemen are harmonious but different.' Even if our ideals don't match in the end, we should respect each other and part ways amicably. Why kill each other?"

Although Lu Jiang finally backed off, his attitude was quite clear: he supported Fan Binbin.

As a superstar, he also spent a lot of time speaking out on top public opinion platforms such as "China Entertainment News".

It is obvious that there will be a huge change in public opinion in the future.

After watching the show, Fan Binbin was already in tears.

Without even bothering to wipe her tears, she called Lu Jiang in front of her parents.

The call was quickly connected, and Fan Binbin pouted: "Lu Jiang, thank you~"

"It's useless. I have to criticize you anyway. You didn't even tell me about such a big thing. Are you trying to rebel?"

"I'm not afraid of you." Fan Binbin drew circles with his fingers.

"What are you afraid of? I won't say anymore. I'm busy. Someone will contact you later. I'll continue rehearsing."

The phone was hung up angrily.

Fan Binbin smiled even more happily.

"What do you mean? Why do I sound like I'm scolding you?"

Mr. Fan’s face was full of concern, but he was slapped away by Mrs. Fan. Can’t he understand this?

Before she could think about it, Fan Binbin's phone rang again: "Hello, Ms. Fan, this is from the Qidian Venture Capital legal team."

Soon, the legal team, public relations team, Guangguang reporter team and others all joined the battle.

Fan Binbin is no longer fighting alone.

Looking at this luxurious configuration and then at the phone that kept ringing in her hand, it was another boss. Fan's mother finally hardened her attitude and hung up the phone.

Father Fan: “Why didn’t you answer it?”

Fan's mother: "I'm afraid Lu Jiang will misunderstand."
