Although Luo Sheng was a little scared, he didn't regret it like President Fan said. Although he didn't know the consequences, he still stood by his decision.
Soon, Luo Sheng packed his luggage and prepared to head to the set. But, due to financial issues, they decided to extend filming indefinitely.
After hearing this, Luo Sheng immediately felt that something wasn't right, so he gave the director a phone call to ask for the reason. The director sighed and said, "I wonder who offended our major shareholder. Why did they suddenly withdraw their investment? Luo Sheng, I'm so sorry!"
Luo Sheng felt like he had been struck by lightning. His mind went blank. It turned out, capital could be played like this. It completely ignored the results of other people's hard work.
Thinking that this was President Fan's doing, Luo Sheng was furious. But, what could he do?
Soon, President Fan came looking for Luo Sheng again. On the surface, he appeared extremely polite, "Luo Sheng, I heard that the drama you accepted has stopped production due to financial issues. I've also checked your schedule. I'm sure you don't have an excuse to reject it this time, right?"
Luo Sheng endured the disgust in his heart and tried his best to remain clear-headed, "President Fan, I'm still an artist of Superstar Media. I need to ask my manager first."
President Fan was dressed in a suit, smoking a cigar as he patted Luo Sheng on the shoulder and nodded his head, "That's the way it should be. But, you need to think this through. My brother-in-law is also a shareholder of Hai Rui and has access to many resources. If you follow me, I will definitely make you an international superstar."
After hearing this, Luo Sheng did not feel like he was receiving special treatment. Instead, he felt pressured.
This was because President Fan was telling him that they also held shares in Hai Rui.
In the end, an arm couldn't win against a thigh.
But, after calming himself down for a moment, Luo Sheng still gave Tangning a phone call and explained the entire situation to her. After hearing everything, Tangning said to Luo Sheng, "Give the phone to President Fan."
Luo Sheng did as he was told, "President Tang."
As soon as President Fan heard this, a deep smile appeared on his face. Even if it was Tangning, he wasn't afraid. After all, they were both investors and she was a relative of Hai Rui. He didn't believe that Tangning would dare to do anything to him.
"President Fan …"
"President Tang, I've heard so much about you."
"I heard that President Fan wants to invite our Luo Sheng to act in your super IP. But, I wonder, why did President Fan skip his agency and directly look for an actor?" "Luo Sheng is a coward. I hope you won't scare him."
"Since it's a good resource, President Tang should know how hard it is to come by. I like Luo Sheng because he's young and has good acting skills. That's why I decided to convince him first before contacting you."
"I wonder which Mr. Fan's IP will be? Don't tell me it's' The Pirate Doctor Sage 'that had a copyright dispute before? "
President Fan paused for a moment. He never expected that Tangning had already investigated everything.
"I'm sorry, President Fan. I think it wouldn't be too late for us to work together after you've secured the copyright."
"I know you want Luo Sheng, but Luo Sheng's contract will soon be transferred to Hai Rui. When that time comes, if you really want to work with him, please make a trip to Hai Rui."
President Fan used Hai Rui to pressure Luo Sheng, so Tangning played along and used Hai Rui to push President Fan to the extreme.
Even though President Fan had a lot of resources, he was still involved in shady businesses. Although there were plenty of artists that didn't care about copyright disputes, Tangning and Luo Sheng, of course, weren't going to make money from ill-gotten gains.
After beating around the bush with Tangning, President Fan was finally angry. He hung up the phone and threw it at Luo Sheng, "If my daughter didn't like you, I wouldn't even look at you. You don't know what's good for you!"
Luo Sheng stood to one side, not daring to move. At least, when it came to physical strength, he couldn't compare to this man.
After President Fan left, Luo Sheng's legs turned to jelly.
So, he once again pulled out his phone and gave Tangning a phone call, "Ning Jie, what should we do next?"
"You've already received the Fei Tian Best Newcomer Award, so you are more than qualified to go to Hai Rui. Only Hai Rui can protect you from these shitty resources."
"But, I don't want to go to Hai Rui." Luo Sheng had already decided that he was going to stick by Tangning's side. "Even Xing Lan's contract has returned to Superstar Media. Why can't I hold on a little longer?"
"Listen to me … President Fan's background can't be underestimated. Even I have to be cautious of him. If he continues to pester you and things get out of hand, none of us will be able to deal with him."
Luo Sheng did not say another word. He simply felt a little sad. Although Hai Rui was the best platform for development in the industry …
He still felt like something was missing.
Of course, Luo Sheng had no idea that this was only the beginning of the series of problems that he caused.
Since Luo Sheng refused to take on an IP, the production team couldn't continue waiting for him. So, they decided to replace him with another popular young actor. As soon as the announcement was made, it became a hot topic.
Soon, news of Luo Sheng's rejection began to spread.
The public couldn't understand why Luo Sheng would reject such a big production and IP.
"Just wait and see. When this drama becomes popular, Luo Sheng will know the meaning of regret."
"This drama is so good. Luo Sheng must have eyes but failed to recognize Mt. Tai."
"F * ck, I can't believe Luo Sheng had the guts to reject the role. He must be out of his mind."
No matter how badly the public looked at Luo Sheng, Luo Sheng did not say a word. There was not a single trace of regret on his face.
However, President Fan's evil intentions were blown from his sister to the shareholders of Hai Rui. After some embellishment, they completely changed the meaning of President Fan's words. After all, President Fan's sister knew how to take advantage of other people's weaknesses.
So, a little while later, Hai Rui held an emergency board meeting and Mo Ting attended.
The main topic of the meeting was the meaning behind Superstar Media's existence.
"President Mo, we originally agreed that Superstar Media would look for artists and that after they become famous, they would sign with Hai Rui and their contracts would belong to Hai Rui. But now, not only did Luo Sheng, who has the right qualifications, not join Hai Rui, but even Xing Lan's contract has been returned to Hai Rui. I want to know why."
"Secondly, I'm sure you've seen Superstar Media's reputation in the industry. Although Tangning doesn't use Hai Rui's name to do things, the fact that you are her husband and she's supporting you means that you are her backing and support. Since you are a subsidiary company, your achievements are enough to shock the parent company and your reputation is close to Hai Rui's, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to rebel? "
"Thirdly, Tangning's way of doing things is extreme and heartless. On the surface, it may seem like she's advancing the entertainment industry, but in reality, she's making enemies for Hai Rui. Although she's helped a few artists become famous, Hai Rui can do the same thing. In fact, they can do it better than her."
"In summary, I don't think Superstar Media needs to exist anymore. What does everyone think?"
