This top celebrity got drunk and acted crazy, and everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry bur

Furthermore, although Wu Qian is their company's star artist, it doesn't mean that Wu Qian is their only artist.

If they were Wu Qian Studio, serving only Wu Qian, then that would be one thing.

However, their company has other artists and other collaborations, so they dare not say that they have completely offended Lü Ming.

After Wu Qian made those sarcastic remarks about Lü Ming at that press conference, their company received many calls from partners and brands. Although they didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was very clear.

That means if their company cannot handle this matter well, then their cooperation will need to be reconsidered.

It's important to know that Lü Ming is currently a hot commodity in the eyes of many people, and everyone is desperate to get in touch with him. If they offend Lü Ming because of Wu Qian's company, not only will it be impossible to get in touch with him, but it may even affect their own business.

Even a TV station that had a very good working relationship with their company called to express its 'concern' about the matter.

Wu Qian's company was also somewhat helpless in the face of this situation.

On the one hand, there is pressure from so many partners; it would be impossible not to feel pressure.

But if they were asked to deal with Wu Qian, they would be in an even more difficult position.

You have to understand that Wu Qian is the star of their company, arguably their most famous artist. The other artists under their management are just mediocre, not even third-tier ones.

It's no exaggeration to say that Wu Qian single-handedly supported their company.

Most importantly, Wu Qian's original contract with them was about to expire, and they had originally planned to find a time to renegotiate the contract with Wu Qian.

However, if they were to fall out with Wu Qian over this matter, Wu Qian would absolutely not agree to renew the contract with them, not to mention that Huayue has already extended an olive branch to Lü Ming, and Wu Qian has many better options.

Moreover, Wu Qian has finally found a chance to advance further. If he becomes a hit in Stephen Chow's big-budget sequel to Journey to the West, his popularity will undoubtedly soar even higher.

At that time, they will naturally be able to enjoy the benefits brought by the increased popularity of Wu Qian.

If we were to fall out with Wu Qian at this point, wouldn't all our hard work over the past few days have been for nothing?

So Wu Qian's company arranged for his agent to talk to him and see if he could issue a simple statement to appease the situation. This way, it wouldn't affect their relationship with Wu Qian, and it would also be a satisfactory explanation to the outside world.

"What's there to be afraid of? Do you think I can reconcile with him now?"

"For what he did to me, even if he knelt down and begged for my forgiveness, I wouldn't agree. I just want him dead!"

Seeing the troubled expression on his agent's face, Wu Qian said resentfully.

Wu Qian hated Lü Ming to the core. If he could, he would wish Lü Ming dead. He might even put a good date on Lü Ming's funeral.

However, Wu Qian wasn't stupid. He knew the worries behind his company and reassured his agent, "Don't worry. Once my movie becomes famous, do you think I'll be afraid of that guy?"

Although Huayue had extended some offers to Wu Qian during this period, Wu Qian did not accept Huayue's invitations.

On the one hand, Wu Qian is quite satisfied with his current company. The cooperation over the years has been very pleasant, and the company has done its best to help him make a name for himself in the entertainment industry. If he were to betray the company like this, Wu Qian would feel somewhat reluctant.

Compared to that, the more important reason is that Wu Qian knows that even if he accepts Huayue's invitation, he will not enjoy the same generous treatment as this company.

It's worth noting that Huayue has other artists with similar popularity and fame to him.

Wu Qian couldn't believe that Hua Yue would still be able to keep their promises, given that Hua Yue's reputation in the industry wasn't very good.

Even Lü Ming didn't want to stay at Huayue, let alone him.

As for whether I will become famous?
Wu Qian had no doubt about this at all, and had even begun to imagine himself becoming a top actor in the film industry, with Lü Ming looking up to him in awe. Thinking of this, Wu Qian couldn't help but feel a surge of secret pleasure.

This is a work by Stephen Chow, a top director in the entertainment industry, whose fame is no less than that of Zhang Yimou and others, and who has made countless people successful.

It's worth noting that Stephen Chow's leading ladies are on par with those of Zhang Yimou's leading ladies.

Produced by Stephen Chow, it's a masterpiece!

This is almost a rule in the minds of moviegoers now. Stephen Chow and his team have proven their abilities with their works, whether it's "The Mermaid" or their previous work "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons," both of which have achieved great success.

Moreover, the previous work, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons," was very well received in terms of both word-of-mouth and final results, making many people look forward to this sequel.

With so many factors combined, as long as this big-budget sequel to Journey to the West isn't too bad, its performance will definitely not be too poor.

If the quality is good, there is even a possibility of breaking the box office record again. At that time, as the male lead who sets the record for the highest-grossing film in mainland China, he will definitely become famous overnight and become a real big figure in the entertainment industry, just like Lu Ming now, or even more powerful.

At that point, it won't be him looking up at Lü Ming anymore; it will be Lü Ming looking up at him.

"Too!"

After hearing Wu Qian's explanation, his agent nodded in approval.

With Stephen Chow's reputation and such a large investment, there's practically no possibility of failure.

The possibility of this big-budget sequel to Journey to the West, spearheaded by Stephen Chow, failing cannot be ruled out, but it is extremely low, so low that even if he doesn't really trust Wu Qian, he doesn't think it will have much of an impact.

Just as Wu Qian said, if Wu Qian can really make further progress with this big-budget sequel to Journey to the West directed by Stephen Chow, then their company will naturally not have to worry about the current problems, and even if Lü Ming can't threaten them.

"Boss, that was a brilliant move!" "We didn't even have to lift a finger; you've already stirred up trouble, and the movie is already getting publicity!"

Inside the Huayue headquarters building, Song Zhe fawned over Pei Siqian, praising his boss's tactic to the skies.

If we were to ask who in the entire entertainment industry hates Lü Ming the most, then Song Zhe and Pei Siqian would definitely be among them.

Song Zhe, in particular, harbored no less hatred for Lü Ming than Wu Qian and the others.

As an agent, Song Zhe relies entirely on the artists under his management for income. In fact, the more famous artists he has, the more money he earns.

For example, he is now a well-known agent in the industry, relying on his role as Baoqiang's agent, and he has secretly made a lot of money.

Even Song Zhe, a well-known agent in the industry, has had his moments of regret, and Lü Ming is one of them.

Back then, Lü Ming was under his command, but Song Zhe didn't pay any attention to Lü Ming at all. The resources he gave Lü Ming were ones that others didn't want, and in the end, he didn't even plan to give Lü Ming the most basic resources.

They planned to take advantage of Lü Ming's popularity while he was still popular, squeeze out every last bit of value from him, and then abandon him.

Before he could even make a move, Lü Ming suddenly became popular again, as if he had become a completely different person. He even pressured them to give up on Lü Ming.

After Lü Ming was abandoned by Huayue, his already successful career not only did not suffer any setbacks, but he also made further progress, becoming a top-tier male celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry at an astonishing speed.

Every time Song Zhe thought of this, he couldn't help but regret it and slap his thigh.

If they hadn't kicked Lü Ming out back then, he would not only be a big shot in the industry as Lü Ming's manager, just like Lü Ming's assistant now, but he would also be making a lot of money.

Every time Song Zhe saw those endorsement rumors about Lü Ming online, he couldn't help but curse Lü Ming's little assistant in his heart for letting so much money slip through his fingers.

If he were Lü Ming's agent, he would definitely secure dozens of endorsements for Lü Ming at once, making a fortune, and perhaps even more money through other means.

However, Song Zhe also knew that if Lü Ming were still under his command, he would definitely continue to endure as the internet said, but this only made Song Zhe's hatred for Lü Ming even stronger.

These days, Song Zhe would often whisper something to Bao Qiang, hoping to sow discord between Bao Qiang and Lü Ming. Even Bao Qiang's wife whispered in his ear.

However, Bao Qiang did not agree to Song Zhe's attempt to sow discord, which made Bao Qiang, who had always trusted Song Zhe, wary.

It's important to understand that although Baoqiang is an artist under Huayue Entertainment, the relationship between Baoqiang and Huayue is not that of a superior and subordinate or boss and employee; rather, it is more like a partnership.

Baoqiang isn't stupid; why would he offend Lü Ming, a figure destined to become a big shot in the entertainment industry, for Huayue's sake?

Bao Qiang initially thought Song Zhe's divisive remarks were just a conflict between Song Zhe and Lü Ming. However, Song Zhe and his wife's continued "advice" made Bao Qiang suspicious, especially given the rumors that had been circulating for some time.

Baoqiang originally trusted Song Zhe completely and didn't believe him at all.

But now, faced with this situation, Baoqiang couldn't help but have some doubts, and secretly sent someone to investigate.

However, Song Zhe was unaware that Bao Qiang, whom he had always treated as a fool, now had doubts about him because of this incident, and was now trying his best to please Pei Siqian.

"Haha, get your job done!"

"This movie must be a success. Once we shatter Lü Ming's undefeated myth, we can easily crush him!"

Hearing Song Zhe's flattery, Pei Siqian smiled and then gave Song Zhe instructions.

Pei Siqian harbored just as much hatred for Lü Ming.

Although Lü Ming never targeted Pei Siqian, Pei Siqian was still significantly affected.

Every time Lü Ming makes headlines online, Huayue's stock price drops. Many people even believe that it was because of Pei Siqian that Lü Ming, such a valuable asset, slipped through Huayue's fingers, and many have already suggested that Pei Siqian resign.

Given this situation, Pei Siqian naturally wouldn't have a good impression of Lü Ming. So this time, he not only strongly recommended Wu Qian, an outsider, during the casting process, but also secretly encouraged Wu Qian to make provocative remarks against Lü Ming.

Pei Siqian was quite satisfied with the current situation. The entire internet was discussing this matter. Thanks to the online trolls they had arranged, not only had Lü Ming's popularity been significantly affected, but their big-budget sequel to Journey to the West, directed by Stephen Chow, had already attracted attention from the entire internet even before filming began.

For Pei Siqian, being able to influence Lü Ming was just an unexpected surprise; what he cared about most was the publicity effect.

It's important to know that Pei Siqian took this big-budget sequel to Stephen Chow's Journey to the West very seriously, with Huayue accounting for the majority of the investment.

If the big-budget sequel to Journey to the West, spearheaded by Stephen Chow, doesn't perform well, it will have a significant impact on Hua Yue. At that point, calls for his resignation will likely resurface.

If this big-budget sequel to Journey to the West, spearheaded by Stephen Chow, performs well, then Pei Siqian can once again prove that he is the most suitable leader for Huayue and dispel the doubts about him online.

In addition, the goal is to extricate Huayue from its current predicament.

In recent years, with the large-scale entry of capital into the entertainment industry, Huayue's leading position in the entertainment industry has been constantly challenged, and some second-rate companies that were originally not taken seriously by Pei Siqian have also launched challenges against Huayue.

However, Huayue, a leading company in the domestic entertainment industry, did not enjoy much benefit from this round of capital investment. Not only did it not receive much financial support, but its stock price continued to decline.

Even Jiaxing, a second-rate entertainment company under Sister Mi's umbrella, saw its valuation skyrocket during the process of capital entering the entertainment industry, while Huayue's valuation didn't increase much at all.

On the other hand, the big-budget productions that Huayue invested in over the past few years haven't performed well. They haven't just suffered small losses; they've lost a fortune. Only their investment in Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" allowed Huayue to recover some of its losses. (End of Chapter)
