Huayu Tianxian: This director is such a hypocrite!

In the pavilion.

The wind rustled the leaves in the courtyard, and the air grew increasingly sticky and humid; a summer rain was just around the corner.

On the stone table, Chen Zhixi sipped her tea slowly.

She twitched her eyelids and turned her gaze to Ye Chong, who still wore a smile, unaffected by Wang Jinghua's rejection.

"Sister Hua, I'm sincere..."

"Eh!"

Wang Jinghua raised her hand to interrupt him, her face expressionless, clearly not wanting to hear any more of his nonsense: "Director Ye, do you think Xiao Cui and I are fools?"

"You've got a good plan! Putting aside your pipe dream of taking down Huayi, inviting the two of us here isn't that simple, is it? I'm afraid you're using us to fight with Huayi, thereby resolving your own scandals!"

"That's right!" Ye Chong nodded.

Wang Jinghua was taken aback by his candid demeanor.

Ye Chong gave a wry smile, raised his hand to clink glasses with Xiao Cui, drank his tea, and then turned to Wang Jinghua: "Sister Hua, I'm not a saint, how could I not have selfish desires? Do you dare say you don't have selfish desires?"

Wang Jinghua didn't object, but she also didn't pick up her glass.

Ye Chong then turned to look at Xiao Cui.

"Actually, the core of my method is you. I have money, but no online trolls; I can afford reporters, but I lack buzz. What I need is buzz, and that's you!"

Xiao Cui had deep eye bags and stared at him silently.

Wang Jinghua, standing to the side, spoke up again: "If that's the case, anyone could do it. After all, you're not the only one with money, so why should we be used as pawns by you? Besides..."

"I'm not the only one with an online army. Cai Yinong, although she's not part of the Beijing circle, has a very strong online army!"

"Hmm..." Ye Chong pondered for a long while after hearing this.

Just as Chen Zhixi was getting anxious and couldn't help but speak up, Ye Chong actually lit a cigarette in front of the three of them.

On the stone bench, bright yellow flames danced in front of Ye Chong, making his eyes appear even more mysterious.

"Sister Hua, how long has it been since you attended a top-level meeting at Huayi?"

Wang Jinghua frowned: "What do you mean by that? What are you trying to say?"

"Sister Hua wants shares and wants to start her own business. Is that right or wrong?"

"You! How did you know!" Wang Jinghua was shocked and no longer had her previous arrogant attitude.

During this period, there were no rumors outside that she was going to leave Huayi, and Huayi itself would also block the news, so how did this man in front of him know?

How did you know?

Ye Chong's lips curled slightly.

For a veteran like Wang Jinghua who has been in the entertainment industry for over a decade, mere deception is definitely not enough. The only bargaining chip he can offer is the information about the reborn individual, but... that's still not enough.

"Since Sister Hua hasn't participated in Huayi meetings for a long time, she probably doesn't know that Huayi is going to break up with Columbia, right?"

"What!" This time, Wang Jinghua stood up abruptly, her old eyes wide open.

Xiao Cui, standing to the side, blinked several times, looking at Ye Chong with great surprise.

Sister Wang is not someone who loses her composure easily.

How did you know?

"Hey, Sister Hua." Ye Chong beckoned her to sit down, then winked at Chen Zhixi beside him.

The latter immediately replaced the tea for Wang Jinghua and the other person with a fresh cup.

"Sister Hua." Ye Chong picked up his teacup.

"Never mind how I know, I have my own methods. The question now is: are you willing to join?"

Wang Jinghua frowned. She knew she could no longer run away. If you don't invest, why should they hand over important information to you?

She picked up her cup, and Xiao Cui and Chen Zhixi next to her also picked up their cups.

"bite--"

The four men clinked their teacups together, each with a different expression.

After putting down his teacup, Ye Chong lit another cigarette, and by this time his momentum had gradually surpassed Wang Jinghua's.

"The King-Slaying Conference shall now officially begin."

Chen Zhixi rolled her eyes. He was so handsome just now, but in the blink of an eye he started acting silly again.

"First step," Ye Chong said, holding up a finger, "Cui is a controversial figure. I need Sister Hua's online army to cooperate. We'll hold a press conference and turn the tables on him."

Wang Jinghua didn't react to this; she was more interested in what was happening in Colombia.

"The second step is to take advantage of this press conference to bring Huayi into the TOM Group, spread the news of their betrayal of Columbia, and damage their core business."

Ye Chong looked at the two people opposite him: "I will give you the relevant information later."

"What about the third step?" Xiao Cui didn't want to wait a moment longer; he desperately wanted to see Huayi collapse right now.

"The third step is my business; I'll target Huayi Films."

Wang Jinghua realized what was happening: "Kekexili?"

"Yes, but not entirely." Ye Chong flicked his cigarette ash and looked at Wang Jinghua: "Sister Hua, your mission is the fourth step: find the right opportunity to escape and take their star performer with you. As for me..."

Ye Chong clicked his tongue and casually uttered a statement that left everyone speechless: "I'm not just targeting 'Kekexili,' I'll target every movie from now on."

"hiss--"

Wang Jinghua looked at him suspiciously. So ruthless, does this child have some deep-seated grudge against Huayi?

"These three steps will only damage Huayi's reputation. To completely discredit it as a second-rate company, we'll have to look at its film business."

"call……"

Ye Chong let out a long breath and looked up at the two people opposite him: "Gentlemen, do you have any other questions?"

Wang Jinghua and Xiao Cui exchanged a glance and silently picked up their teacups.

"bite--"

After drinking another cup of tea, Chen Zhixi stood up with a smile and said, "Gentlemen, it's getting late. Why don't you have dinner? I'll see you off later."

"I can't eat."

"No."

The two men stood up to refuse, so Ye Chong and his companion had no choice but to see them off.

Just as Wang Jinghua was getting into the car, Ye Chong suddenly called out to her, "Sister Hua, can you do me a small favor? I owe you one."

Wang Jinghua was taken aback.

If the previous "King-Slaying Conference" was an exchange of interests, then this favor is another kind of resource.

In the film and television industry, personal connections are a very important resource. Isn't the reason why Andy Lau made so many bad movies simply because of these personal connections?

This young man's favor?

Wang Jinghua sized up the man before her: tall and handsome, with a terrible reputation, but actually wise and upright. The key was the power behind him—someone who could quietly uncover so much inside information…

"Speak, what kind of help do you need?"

Ye Chong grinned: "Help me train someone, someone from China Media Group. I'll send her to you to work as an assistant. Oh, by the way, I'll give you 3% of Fei Ye Agency's shares, or we can have cross-shareholding."

Wang Jinghua gave him a deep look.

Giving away company shares so readily—what a bold move!

"Okay, name?"

"Yang Tianzhen".

……

After Wang Jinghua left, Chen Zhixi and Ye Chong stood in the alley for a long time.

"Giving away shares so readily, you really have guts."

Ye Chong glanced at her but didn't say anything.

Giving Wang Jinghua shares, or cross-shareholding, is actually a double-edged sword: the advantage is that it cultivates Yang Tianzhen, but the disadvantage is that Wang Jinghua is ultimately an outsider.

However, Feiye Agency is Feiye Agency, and this company is only a small part of his business in the plan.

What's needed now is twofold: to resolve the immediate crisis and to release the film.

"Oh, right!" Chen Zhixi patted Ye Chong on the shoulder and turned to walk towards the garage.

"I forgot to tell you, your girlfriend called, but your phone was off, so she called me instead."

"Yifei?" Ye Chong felt a warmth in his heart.

Is this girl here to keep her promise?

"What did she say?"

She said, "I'll come to your house as a guest tomorrow!"
