Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 322 A Failed Attempt to Steal a Chicken Backfires; Orange Sky is in Chaos
For the next few days, Yan Li stayed with the crew of "The Message".

With him in charge, the two soldiers were relatively well-behaved, and as filming began to get on track, they no longer had so many ulterior motives.

In the movie "The Message", both Shuangbing and his character gave outstanding performances. The crew also had a group of talented actors. If you want to perform well or even brilliantly, you have to put in a lot of effort to study and learn.

It's unclear who started it, but the two women began reading in an unconventional way, working even harder than they did when they were studying "Painted Skin."

Yan Li was initially a little worried, so he traveled between Beijing and Tianjin every day.

Anyway, Beijing and Tianjin are close, and a round trip only takes four hours. I'll just consider it a big traffic jam and that I'll just go to and from get off work a little earlier or later.

Later, seeing that the situation in the "The Message" crew was gradually stabilizing, Yan Li reduced the frequency of his visits to once or twice a week.

During this period, the box office performance of "Contract Lover" was roughly determined.

It was still somewhat influenced by the Olympics.

But there's no way around it, the entire month of August is the Olympics, and there are also blockbusters and dark horses in front of it. At least the movies and the Olympics are separate, so watching the movies won't interfere with watching the Olympics, but it's hard to say if they're directly competing with other movies.

Aside from the peak on Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day), box office revenue declined steadily in the following days, with an estimated total of around 1500-2000 million yuan.

Making money is definitely possible!

As mentioned before, the investment cost of the movie "Contract Lover" was very limited. It would be profitable as soon as it grossed 1000 million at the box office, and with other revenue, it would still make several million in profit.

This result was already quite satisfactory; a low-budget film that can make money is a good film.

However, there was a dark horse in front of them, "Perfect Imperfection," and the gap in performance was too large, so it couldn't stand out.

It's still a resume, so it doesn't need to be written about in great detail, but it should be publicized where necessary, and there are internal awards as well.

Wang Ou finally felt relieved.

This movie didn't add much to her image, but it didn't detract from it either. Considering her status as the second-in-command at the company, she'll still get more movie opportunities in the future.

She dared not even dream of the resources that Fan Xiaopang had, such as leading roles in big-budget films and top billing in low-to-medium budget movies.

It's not just a matter of whether the company provides resources or not; the key issue is that she can't carry the show, and the production team might not even want to use her.

The "Four Dan and Two Soldiers" is no joke; despite the controversy, their fame and influence are widely recognized.

Wang Ou, catering to different market demands, focuses on resources that Fan Xiaopang (Fan Bingbing) doesn't value or think are poor value for money, such as leading roles in low-budget films, supporting roles in medium-to-high-budget films, or supporting roles for promising second or third female characters.

Having a low profile also has its advantages. For example, Fan Bingbing is somewhat held in a high position, and often he would rather not act than lower his status.

Wang Ou didn't care. She wasn't a big shot in the film industry, and even if she played a minor supporting role, it wouldn't be a loss of face. It was just unnecessary.

She's a popular actress, and with Yi'an backing her up, she's not exactly poor.

Regardless, both films, "Perfect Imperfection" and "Contract Lover," were profitable, with a combined box office of approximately 8000 million.

This summer's box office performance for Yi An can already be described as a success.

There's also "The Equation of Love and Death" coming out at the end of August. This movie isn't primarily commercially driven; its main goal is to win critical acclaim.

As long as the word-of-mouth is good, even if the movie loses money, it's actually acceptable.

Of course, Yi An certainly hopes to achieve full success. If it can gross 20 million yuan at the box office, "The Equation of Love and Death" will make a small profit, and Yi An's cumulative box office during the summer season will exceed 100 million yuan.

Aside from "Red Cliff," Yi An will be the biggest winner.

It could even be said that it is the biggest winner. Although "Red Cliff" was a hit, its reputation was terrible. Yi An's film was not exactly well-received, but it was much better than "Red Cliff".

Honestly, if "Red Cliff" hadn't been a project by China Film Group, Yi An would have already started relentlessly criticizing it.

However, if you can't criticize China Film Group, you can criticize Orange Sky Entertainment.

Orange Sky suffered heavy losses at the Battle of Red Cliffs, but could not compete with Yi An who quietly made a fortune and maintained stable profits.

Orange Sky's poor planning, its numerous but ineffective stars, and its heavy investment in the Battle of Red Cliffs backfired.

Orange Sky Golden Harvest Suffers Setback Just Two Months After Acquiring Golden Harvest: What's Next for It?

"..."

There was a reason why Yi An criticized Orange Sky. One reason was that he routinely teased the third brother to prevent him from causing trouble when Yi An was competing with Huayi Brothers.

Another point is that in July of this year, Orange Sky officially announced its acquisition of Golden Harvest, holding more than 75% of the shares and completing its privatization and delisting.

After acquiring Golden Harvest's high-quality assets, Orange Sky's strength has greatly increased, especially in cinema chains and film copyrights, where it is among the best in the industry, and it has also opened up channels in the Hong Kong film industry.

Previously, it was often said that Huayi Orange Ocean had four major players, but in terms of actual achievements and strength, Orange Sky is clearly somewhat lacking; it's just that it has money and many artists.

But with this acquisition of Jiahe, even a struggling Jiahe, Orange Sky truly deserves the title of industry giant.

Meanwhile, Orange Sky, which owns cinema chains, production, and artist management, has completely overlapped with Yi An's business and plans to go public through a backdoor listing after restructuring, which has aroused strong vigilance from Yan Li and Yi An.

Yan Li also plans to merge Yi'an Film & Television and Yi'an Cinema Line to form a complete industry chain advantage and go public.

Orange Sky's actions will inevitably have various impacts on Yi An.

Yan Li has already considered Orange Sky as his primary rival in certain aspects.

He was not worried that Huayi Brothers would benefit from the situation.

Yan Li had previously planned to let Huayi Brothers and Orange Sky compete, while he would follow behind as the opportunist, taking advantage of whoever lost.

But I never expected Yi'an to develop so quickly, and I never expected Orange Sky to be so disappointing.

Aside from the time Wang Jinghua spent money on her, and the occasional attempts to poach talent from Huayi Brothers to annoy them, her threat to Huayi Brothers was actually quite limited, forcing Yi An to become the main competitor against Huayi Brothers.

Now that Orange Sky's strength has greatly increased, it can participate in the battle, but Yi An can no longer act arrogantly.

Even if Boss Wu and the Wang brothers were out of their minds, they wouldn't ignore the rapidly growing momentum of Yi An.

Similarly, neither Yi'an nor the other two companies will underestimate the power of third parties.

That makes it simple: a three-way battle, let's see who has the last laugh.

Huayi Brothers won't be easy to beat. Yan Li prefers to take down the weaker Orange Sky first, starting with the easier ones and then moving on to the more difficult ones. He'll kick out one of the competitors and then deal with the remaining two slowly.

I wonder what Huayi Brothers is thinking, since the two companies had a tacit understanding when dealing with Orange Sky.

Yan Li planned to talk to the Wang brothers later. There was some unpleasantness between them, but it couldn't outweigh the desire for profit.

...

"That's right, our two families have some conflicts, but they're not some irreconcilable feud. Why can't we let bygones be bygones?"

At a private club, Boss Wu secretly met with the Wang brothers from Huayi Brothers, wanting to team up with them to deal with Yan Li.

"Yi An came on strong. Although I don't like Yan Li, I have to admit that he has an extremely accurate and keen eye."

"With Yi'an Cinema Line and Yi'an Film & Television, the foundation is frighteningly solid. The layout of Tudou.com and Weibo further combines the Internet with film and television, creating a one-stop shop for film, publicity and distribution, media and platform."

"Presidents Wang, if he succeeds, he'll establish his own faction and be invincible from the start. How can we possibly compete with him?"

Yan Li plans to join forces with Huayi Brothers to first eliminate Orange Sky, which is trying to steal his business, and then the two companies will decide the winner.

Boss Wu also realized this: when the eldest and second eldest brothers fight, the third brother dies first.

Orange Sky's situation is actually not good. To break the deadlock, it can only fight against the strong with the weak. Yan Li is powerful and capable, and he doesn't believe that the two brothers from Huayi have no ideas.

With Orange Sky Entertainment gone, Huayi Brothers will benefit.

But with only Huayi Brothers left, will it be a match for Yi An?
The two Huayi brothers exchanged a glance. They did have this concern. They had fought against Orange Sky before, but the threat wasn't that great.

Yan Li is different. In several clashes, Huayi Brothers mostly suffered the loss, and he almost developed a psychological trauma.

Under these circumstances, neither of the brothers was confident about facing Yi An alone.

Partnering with Orange Sky Entertainment might be a viable option. Even if we don't aim to completely destroy Yi An, we could still cripple them and hinder their progress, which would benefit Huayi Brothers as well.

Wang Zhongjun gave his younger brother a look, and Wang Zhonglei asked, "President Wu, what are your thoughts?"

"First, Yan Li himself is slippery and unscrupulous. The blog incident didn't even harm him in the slightest. Ordinary methods are useless against him, so we'll target others."

“Fan Bingbing, Deng Chao, and Ning Hao are all core members of Yi’an and are involved in many of Yi’an’s key projects. If something happens to them, it will inevitably affect the projects. It’s better to cut off one finger than to injure all ten. Let Yi’an suffer a big loss first and dampen their spirits.”

"Secondly, Yan Li's Weibo is a powerful weapon. If we were to engage in a war of public opinion, we might be at a disadvantage. We could cooperate with Sina. The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"With Sina's help, if Yan Li tries to muddy the waters or guide public opinion, the effect will not be so obvious."

"Third, we'll set a trap for Yan Li. Instead of our two families getting involved, we'll find a third party to produce a huge production to drain his funds."

"After that, our two companies specifically targeted Yi'an's project, trying to sabotage and cause trouble, making it impossible for Yi'an to attend to both ends."

"..."

It's clear that Boss Wu put in a lot of effort to study this, and his explanations of Yan Li and Yi An's many arrangements are quite insightful.

The two Hua brothers nodded repeatedly. If the plan succeeded completely, Yi An would be badly injured, if not killed. Even if it succeeded only halfway, Yan Li would be bruised and battered and would have to behave himself for a while.

"Come on, Mr. Wu, let's discuss the details."

More than half an hour later, the three parted ways in high spirits, with Wang Zhonglei looking at his brother with some excitement.

"It's time to teach this bastard a lesson. I really want to see Yan Li's expression when he finds out all this."

Your expression looks a bit constipated!

It wasn't that I heard the news, but rather that Yan Lizhen was experiencing some constipation and was thinking of eating more fruits and vegetables.

After leaving the bathroom, Yan Li sat on the sofa and began to seriously study Orange Sky and Huayi's plans.

I must say, this guy surnamed Wu is really ruthless!
Yan Li shook his head; he wasn't angry about the collusion between Huayi Brothers and Orange Sky.

There's nothing to be angry about. Wasn't he planning to team up with Huayi Brothers to destroy Orange Sky Entertainment?

That's how business warfare is—it's full of deceit, treachery, and shamelessness. There are even more unscrupulous acts like hiring assassins and kidnapping threats. At least Wu and the two Wangs are still engaged in commercial struggle.

However, Yan Li did not intend to take on two opponents at once, not because he couldn't, but because it was unnecessary.

Now that we both know each other's plans, wouldn't it be better to sow discord?

Huayi Brothers and Orange Sky have had numerous conflicts over the years, and they themselves don't believe in any genuine cooperation.

Yan Li didn't even need to put in much effort; they were already suspicious on their own.

After thinking for a moment, Yan Li asked Fatty Yu for a favor and arranged a gathering, which included an executive from Orange Sky Entertainment and Zhang Guoli, who had close ties with Huayi Brothers.

During this time, Yan Li chatted with Orange Sky executives for a while, and the next day, it was revealed that Huayi Brothers' CEO, Wang, was bisexual.

It's worth mentioning that Sina was the first to break the news.

They joined forces to deal with Yi An, but Huayi Brothers ran into trouble, betrayed by their own people, and Yan Li was caught colluding with Orange Sky.

Is this a case of Orange Sky and Huayi Brothers targeting Yi An, or is it a case of someone pretending to be an undercover agent while actually working with Yan Li to target Huayi Brothers?

Yi An is strong, but Huayi Brothers is not weak either; it is currently the leading private film company.

In terms of uniting the weak against the strong, Huayi Brothers also meets the criteria.
The Wang brothers had suspected that Yan Li was sowing discord, but the key was that neither of them dared to gamble.

What if we fall into a trap set by someone surnamed Yan or someone surnamed Wu?

The two were suspicious of each other, so Yan Li focused on messing with Huayi, causing Huayi a lot of trouble and turning a blind eye to the instigator, Orange Sky. Then, Yi An's general Deng Chao was suddenly caught up in various rumors and panicked.

Of the three companies, two suffered setbacks, while Orange Sky was unscathed. They're in deep trouble, even if they weren't already.

Mr. Wu was very irritable. He felt that Huayi's attitude was obviously cold, and even Xiao Wang made a sarcastic remark.

More importantly, before he even began to deal with Deng Chao, Deng Chao had already "exposed" himself.

Those rhythms looked impressive, but in reality, they didn't cause any serious damage. Yi An and Deng themselves responded quickly and appropriately, minimizing the negative impact.

This caught Orange Sky completely off guard. Not only did they fail to achieve their goals, they also lost a crucial weapon against Yi An.

Most importantly, he suspected that there was a mole within Orange Sky.

Yi An's reaction was too quick; it felt like she had orchestrated it herself, as if she had been informed beforehand.

However, this was not what Mr. Wu was most worried about. If there was a mole, it could be investigated. What he feared was that the two brothers from Huayi would go back on their word, say they would cooperate, but stab him in the back and get involved with Yan Li.

The fact that Huayi Brothers and Yi'an have run into trouble one after another might be a charade to lull themselves into a false sense of security.

Perhaps Huayi Brothers, after feigning cooperation, actually outmaneuvered Yi An and then sold him out, wanting to see Orange Sky and Yi An fight each other.

Otherwise, it's really hard to explain how Yi'an knew about Deng Chao.

At this point, the already fragile alliance between Huayi Brothers and Orange Sky Entertainment is essentially over.

Even if the two sides meet again and have an open and honest conversation, it's no use. With doubts in their hearts and old grudges, how can they possibly let their guard down?

At this moment, Yan Li took the initiative to come to the two Huayi brothers and said, "You two Mr. Wangs are not being fair. You agreed to work together to take down Orange Sky, why did you go back on your word?"

Wang Zhongjun stopped his younger brother, who was about to speak, and asked, "President Yan, what do you mean by that?"

Yan Li shook his head: "The guy surnamed Wu came to me and said that you two asked him to help deal with Yi An. You were the ones who did the Deng Chao thing."

Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but retort, "Bullshit! He was the one who contacted us first."

Yan Li was taken aback: "There really is such a thing? I thought this kid surnamed Wu was just trying to trick me into cooperating with him?" Wang Zhongjun frowned: "What did he say?"

"What else can I say? Your Huayi Brothers is powerful. I'll join forces with them, take down the strong ones first, and then divide the world equally."

"This old bastard's plan is pretty good; I'm even a little tempted. First, he'll scheme against your Huang Xiaoming and Feng Xiaogang. Second, he'll use Weibo to launch a propaganda war, smearing you. To prevent you from retaliating, he'll arrange a partnership with Sina beforehand, cutting off your escape route. Third, he'll find a project and set a trap to swindle your money..."

The Wang brothers' faces grew increasingly grim as they listened. "That son of a bitch surnamed Wu, he sold the same plan to two different companies."

Wang Zhongjun had some doubts at first, suspecting that Yan Li was bluffing them, but after Yan Li explained the plan, he truly believed it.

This plan was exactly the same as the one Orange Sky had discussed with them to deal with Yi An, and it even included details added by the two brothers.

Yan Li couldn't possibly know that clearly on his own. Either Wu told Yan Li himself, or there was a core mole within Orange Sky.

The former is more likely; if it's the latter, then there's no need for Orange Sky to cooperate.

How can you play when the cards are revealed?!

Wang Zhongjun took a sip of water, but still couldn't suppress his anger. He laughed in exasperation, "I've been playing with eagles my whole life, and I almost got played by one."

Wang Zhonglei's face turned ashen; the guy surnamed Wu was treating the two brothers like fools.

Yan Li shook his head: "Don't think I'm being harsh, but you actually believed those traitors. No wonder they played you for a fool."

Wang Zhongjun looked at Yan Li: "What does President Yan mean?"

"It's meaningless. I don't trust this traitor."

Yan Li said bluntly, "After he contacted me, I felt something was off."

"It sounds simple, but Orange Sky's cinema chain in mainland China is still in its early stages. We don't have top-tier artists, and our film and television production is also lacking. So-called cooperation is actually all thanks to Yi An."

"If Yi'an and Huayi fight, and Yi'an wins, he'll benefit. If Yi'an loses, he'll probably turn against me first. What if both of us are severely damaged..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Zhonglei's face turned ashen: "So that's what that bastard was planning."

Yan Li calmly drank his water. The reason why the third brother is more likely to die in a fight between the eldest and second eldest brothers is because they are afraid that someone will take advantage of the situation.

Sometimes, cooperation requires a strong alliance.

A weak and a strong are never a good match; there's always something to worry about. But when two strong forces scheme against a weak one, even if there are conflicts, they can eliminate any future problems first.

The cooperation between Huayi Brothers and Orange Sky is over. Yan Li wants to bring Huayi Brothers on the same boat to deal with Orange Sky together, otherwise he is afraid that Huayi Brothers will cause trouble behind the scenes.

"Mr. Yan is considering a collaboration between the two companies?"

When Wang Zhongjun asked, Yan Li nodded and said, "I know you don't trust me, and I don't trust you either. Let's not make any plans or make any specific cooperation. Let's reach a tacit understanding, not to attack each other, and then fight Orange Sky together."

"Let's cripple this disgusting person first, then our two families can go about our business as usual."

The Wang brothers' brows relaxed slightly. After this experience, they were genuinely a little hesitant about the collaboration.

Yan Li's proposal of a loose alliance is good; they share the same goal, each goes their own way, and simplify complex issues.

Both companies are stronger than Orange Sky, and even if they are less efficient, they can still make Orange Sky suffer.

"However, we still need to show sincerity. For the first time, let's exchange pledges of allegiance."

The two Wang brothers exchanged a glance, and Wang Zhonglei brought up some dirt on a certain artist from Orange Sky Entertainment.

Yan Li shook his head: "Gentlemen, we both have serious matters to attend to. We don't have time to play house with Cheng Tian. If we're going to fight, let's go all out."

Wang Zhonglei asked, "What are the terms of the agreement, Mr. Yan?"

Yan Li tapped the table: "Sister Hua has made great contributions to the development of Orange Sky to where it is today. Now that they've kicked Sister Hua out, I feel sorry for her."

"Most of Orange Sky's artists were brought up by Sister Hua. If Sister Hua were to come out and compete with Orange Sky..."

Then Orange Sky's entire artist management business will be thrown into chaos, or at least unable to find peace.

The Wang brothers' eyes gleamed, but what would Wang Jinghua do?!
Orange Sky must have had enough confidence to kick Wang Jinghua out, and they probably reached an agreement on the terms. Wang Jinghua took the benefits from Orange Sky, so she's unlikely to cause any trouble.

Moreover, having already tricked Huayi Brothers, and now falling out with Orange Sky Entertainment, it will definitely affect Wong Jing-hua's reputation.

"It's all up to us, so you two don't need to worry about it."

Before Yan Li dared to make this suggestion, he did some research on Wang Jinghua, who had a lot of dissatisfaction and resentment towards Orange Sky.

Orange Sky temporarily silenced her with benefits, including listed shares, but if Yi An and Huayi Brothers bring Orange Sky down, how much will those listed shares be worth?

Now that Sister Hua has gone solo, will she have to rely on various companies in the future, or will she be buried with Orange Sky, or will she pledge her allegiance and embrace the trend?

As for who is right and who is wrong, what are the advantages and disadvantages, and what are the grudges and favors, I'm sure that someone as shrewd as Sister Hua has her own considerations.

As for reputation, that was pretty much it after the deal with Huayi Brothers. As long as there's any use to them, they'll continue to cooperate with whatever they want.

"it is good."

Wang Zhongjun gave a thumbs up, remembering how Orange Sky poached Wang Jinghua, causing Huayi Brothers great harm. He still remembered that pain.

Yan Li's use of this tactic to deal with Cheng Tian was exactly what he wanted!
Since Yi An dealt a heavy blow to Orange Sky's artist management, Huayi Brothers will counter Orange Sky's film and television business.

Previously, Orange Sky and Huayi Brothers tried to sabotage Yi An by using their own film and television companies to disrupt the market, such as competing for box office revenue at the same time and selling dramas at lower prices. However, this approach resulted in significant losses for both sides.

But dealing with Orange Sky is not so troublesome; you can directly target the official channels, such as blocking the review process or delaying the schedule.

As we all know, cash flow is a major problem for film and television companies, with a lot of funds tied up in projects. This tactic has put Orange Sky in a very difficult position.

Orange Sky is a foreign-owned company, and its connections in this area are not as extensive as those of Huayi Brothers, which is deeply rooted in Beijing's entertainment circle.

As for why Huayi Brothers didn't use this tactic to deal with Yan Li?

It's very simple. While you're reviewing Yi An's dramas, Huayi Brothers' movies will also be reviewed. You might even get tax, publicity, and police investigations into Huayi Brothers.

Being a master of connections is no joke!

Yan Li doesn't like using this method because the follow-up is troublesome, and he doesn't want to get involved in these things, but that doesn't mean he won't use it with strangers.

"Mr. Wang, it's a pleasure doing business with you."

Yan Li shook hands with the two kings, concluding that Orange Sky was no longer a threat; the next battle would be between Yi An and Huayi.

After Yan Li left, Wang Zhonglei looked at his older brother and said, "Brother, I still feel like something's not right."

"Me too."

Wang Zhongjun nodded: "But that's not important. No matter what the truth is, Orange Sky is completely under Yan Li's thumb, so it's obviously not a good partner. Since things are not going to work out, we should naturally look for another way."

Wang Zhonglei looked worried: "But I'm worried that without Orange Sky, we won't be a match for Yi'an in the future."

The king comforted his younger brother, saying, "Don't rush. Taking too big a step can lead to disaster. This kid is setting up plans everywhere, spreading his operations too thin, and making countless enemies. If something unexpected happens and the situation collapses, we'll lose everything."

Mr. Wang was still worried: "What if he pulls through and makes all these companies successful?"

"Well, he's awesome. Losing to such a prodigy is nothing to be ashamed of, neither of us brothers."

Wang Zhongjun shrugged. "If you've succeeded with Weibo, Tudou.com, and the entire film and television industry chain, then Yan Li and the others are on a completely different level, and there's no need for them to compete."

In terms of business, Wang Zhongjun admires and even respects Yan Li. It's a pity that they are in the same industry, otherwise he would even be willing to bring Yan Li into the business.

Thinking that far ahead is pointless. Right now, getting Huayi Brothers listed and the two brothers to split the profits is the top priority.

...

After returning home, Yan Li quickly arranged to meet with Wang Jinghua, hoping that Sister Hua would come out of retirement.

As expected, Wang Jinghua was tempted but hesitant.

In March of this year, Wang Jinghua left Orange Sky Entertainment in a rather undignified manner, almost as if she had been kicked out.

The group of artists she brought from Huayi Brothers are now all under Orange Sky Entertainment. There were rumors that Hu Jun, Tong Dawei, and Li Xiaolu followed her, but nothing came of it later.

On the one hand, Orange Sky had been prepared and learned from Huayi Brothers' experience in terms of contracts, so Wong Jinghua was unable to take away a large number of artists.

On the other hand, times have changed.

In the entertainment industry, capital comes first, and artists all know that it's good to have a powerful backer. No matter how strong an independent agent is, they can't compare to a giant like Orange Sky. For the sake of their careers, artists naturally have to be cautious.

To be honest, Yan Li didn't expect to rely on Wang Jinghua to hollow out Orange Sky.

Orange Sky is not one to sit idly by. The contract is in black and white, and if you want to terminate it, you have to pay a real penalty, which is very costly.

Therefore, what Yan Li wants to do is not to hollow out Orange Sky, but to cause trouble for Orange Sky through Wang Jinghua.

If Wong Jinghua "pulls" Yan Li's investment and prepares to build a first-class artist management company, recruiting his old colleagues to create a great enterprise together.

What do you think of Wong Jinghua's former artists?
All those years of care and affection were not in vain; Wong Jing-hua had a great influence on these artists.

Even now, the two soldiers still remember Wang Jinghua's feelings to some extent.

On one hand, there's the matter of personal relationships. On the other hand, as mentioned before, Orange Sky artists are divided into two factions: one is Wang Jinghua's direct subordinates, and the other is artists signed by Orange Sky itself.

With Wang Jinghua leaving Orange Sky, her loyal followers lost their backbone and were themselves filled with anxiety and uncertainty.

With Wong Jinghua holding up a recruitment banner and having the names of Yan Li and Yi An, the appeal is greatly enhanced. Some people will definitely consider joining the old agent, or even take action.

What will Orange Sky think of their move?
Wang Jinghua's former subordinates will inevitably be negatively affected, which will increase their dissatisfaction with Orange Sky.

With internal unrest and a formidable external enemy, and Yan Li helping to stir things up, tsk tsk, there's bound to be some fun to watch.

"Sister Hua, I and Huayi are definitely going to deal with Orange Sky, whether you are here or not. Under these circumstances, any original shares are just empty promises."

“If you trusted that traitor, you wouldn’t have ended up like this. I, Yan Li, am not a good person, but at least I’ve never cheated you.”

"Your intervention will help you vent your anger, and at the same time, recruiting more of your old subordinates will be beneficial to your new company."

"If you have any ideas about investment, we can discuss it. But let me be clear from the start: our company has quite a few artists, so the resources we can allocate are relatively limited."

"..."

Wang Jinghua wanted to get Yi An to invest in her new company, but Yan Li remained noncommittal.

Given Wong Jinghua's current strength, she can't attract many big names. Investing in her company is not a bad thing for Yi An, but it won't be of much help either.

Yi An's resources should be prioritized for Yi An's artists. If Wang Jinghua is willing to accept, then we can talk. If she is not willing, then we can only discuss cooperation.

In addition to what Yan Li mentioned above, Yan Li will also allocate some resources to Wang Jinghua to help her attract and win over her old subordinates, which can be considered as a reward from Yan Li.

Yan Li spoke frankly, and Wang Jinghua didn't speak rashly, as she wasn't sure how many artists she could attract back.

Whether to side with Yan Li and what kind of treatment they could expect depended on the cards they held in their hands.

However, the fact that they were able to reach this point also showed that Wang Jinghua was willing to cooperate with Yan Li, and she gently raised her glass.

"Mr. Yan, I'm so grateful for your help."

"Sister Hua, you're too kind. Cooperation is a win-win situation."

With Yan Li's support, Wang Jinghua acted quickly, accepting an interview with authoritative media outlets, expressing both overt and covert feelings that Orange Sky had schemed against her, and then announcing recruitment efforts to create new glories.

When asked again whether she would reunite with her former colleagues, Wong Jing-hua gave a firm and unequivocal answer.

"Of course, in my heart, many of them are my children, and my door is always open if they want to come back."

Wang Jinghua's interview was widely disseminated and analyzed on Weibo and other platforms, while various rumors also circulated.

Today, Hu Jun is leaving Orange Sky. Tomorrow, someone saw Tong Dawei having dinner with Wang Jinghua. The day after tomorrow, Zuo Xiaoqing and Guo Xiaodong are dissatisfied and are preparing to join Wang Jinghua.

Several insiders on Tianya and Weibo have also revealed in detail the internal grudges and feuds within Orange Sky.

This includes why Chen Hao, the former top female star, left, the disputes over the new top female star, the discord between Wong Jinghua's faction and Orange Sky's faction, and some gossip about certain celebrities.

Many outsiders only then realized that there were such big internal divisions within the seemingly thriving Orange Sky Artists.

There was an uproar within Orange Sky!
Wang Jinghua's cronies were eager to make their move, while Orange Sky's cronies were also plotting to get rid of their old rivals and monopolize the company's resources, bringing the conflict into the open.

What was even more unexpected was that some gossip about Orange Sky artists that only insiders knew was leaked online, leading to internal suspicions that enemies might be taking advantage of the situation to sabotage them.

Orange Sky artist Yuan Li went on a rampage on Weibo, taking the lead in catching the mole and pointing the finger at Hao Lei, believing that she was the one who leaked her gossip.

Hao Lei also has a fiery temper. She went directly to Weibo to question Yuan Li and even brought up some old grievances, causing a huge uproar.

As the two were arguing, Song Jia got involved. Although she didn't lash out on Weibo, she made sarcastic remarks about the two in an interview.

Later, based on what the two said, someone revealed information about Ma Yili, which prompted Wen Zhang to fiercely protect his wife. Li Xiaolu, who was in the same company and was also a member of the Teddy Sisters group, also actively joined in, and Huo Siyan, who loved to watch the drama, was also brought in.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Huo Siyan inadvertently brought up the affair between Tong Dawei and Jiang Yiyan again.

Well, Orange Sky is like the Jin-Sui region, a complete mess.
Even Yan Li didn't expect the effect to be so good.

You can't blame him for that; he really didn't expect to encounter "crazy women" like Yuan Li and Hao Lei who would start a war of words on Weibo over the smallest things.

The other Orange Sky artists are no pushovers either; they all have big tempers and can't function without a big shot like Wong Jing-hua to keep them in check.
