This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 166 Yaozi, if you want to make a living, you always have to wear a green hat (a symbol of infidelity).

Yesterday, the news of Li Haorui terminating his contract with Xingyao Media didn't cause much of a stir in the industry.

Li Haorui was popular for a year or two before, and he was full of vigor during that time.

Times have changed, and things are different now.

Li Haorui's popularity is no longer what it used to be.

Such contract terminations are common in the industry.

Unless it's a top-tier celebrity terminating their contract, or if the termination generates a major news story, they won't make it to the trending topics.

Then the big news came out of the blue, catching everyone completely off guard!

Li Haorui has signed with Burning Studio!

The artist who terminated his contract with Xingyao Media actually went to Lu Ran's studio?
Don't these two companies have a conflict?
"I don't understand Director Lu's move. Why did he sign Li Haorui?"

"The most outrageous thing isn't that Director Lu signed Li Haorui, it's that Li Haorui actually signed with Burning Studio!"

"Li Haorui and Lu Ran recorded 'We Are Walking on the Road' together. Could it be that the two of them hooked up back then?"

"Probably!"

Netizens immediately rewatched the two episodes of "We Are Walking on the Road" featuring Lu Ran.

I watched it frame by frame, afraid of missing any details.

I wasn't this diligent when I was in school.

Soon, someone found clues in the video.

“When you watched the recording, Li Haorui’s attitude towards Lu Ran was normal at first, neither warm nor cold. But after Lu Ran started teaching everyone, Li Haorui’s attitude changed.”

"As you can see from the later scenes, there is no conflict between Li Haorui and Lu Ran. They are having a lot of fun and even give music lessons to the children together."

"Could it be that Director Lu attracted Li Haorui with his personal charm?"

"Let alone Li Haorui, I like Director Lu too."

Netizens and marketing accounts have all joined in this gossip-watching frenzy.

The affair between Li Haorui and Xingyao Media has also been exposed.

Later, some netizens even posted photos of seeing Li Haorui in Qincheng Prison.

The photo was taken in late September.

This means that Li Haorui may have already reached an agreement with Lu Ran by then.

Only Xingyao Media remained oblivious, completely unaware of the situation.

Netizens, like detectives, have analyzed the true situation with remarkable accuracy.

Aside from the fact that the details are indeed impossible to analyze.

Amidst the spectacle of gossip, a large group of netizens flocked to Xingyao Media's Weibo account to watch the drama unfold.

"Xingyao, come on, put your hat on properly."

"Don't bow your head, or your hat will fall off; don't shed tears, or Director Lu will laugh."

"Yaozi, if you want to make a living, you have to wear a green hat."

Netizens also shared various memes in the comments.

Star Media was ridiculed mercilessly and lost all face.

Lu Ran's act of having his own artist terminate his contract and then turn to his enemy is clearly a provocation!

In Guo Weicheng's office.

After listening to his assistant's report, Guo Weicheng's forehead veins bulged and his fists clenched.

He now deeply regrets signing the termination agreement with Li Haorui so easily yesterday.

If he had known that Li Haorui had signed with Burning Studio, he would never have signed.

Even if it's a card, it has to be used to block Li Haorui.

The assistant asked in a low voice, "Mr. Guo, how should we handle this?"

Guo Weicheng suppressed his anger and pondered.

It's not uncommon for artists to have conflicts with the company over contract terminations. Xingyao Media has encountered this several times over the years.

This is the first time that Li Haorui has gone to work for his rival after terminating his contract.

But to put it bluntly, it all boils down to not letting the other party have an easy time.

To succeed in this industry, you need two things: resources and your work.

In terms of resources, Burning Studio only has a few, which is not a concern.

In terms of works, Li Haorui has several representative pieces, as well as other songs he's released before, the copyrights of which are held by Xingyao Media. Guo Weicheng understands that Li Haorui isn't the key; Lu Ran is.

Lu Ran is targeting him, just like he targeted Lu Ran back then.

"Issue a statement!" Guo Weicheng said coldly.

The battle between Star Media and Burning Studio has officially begun.

An hour later, Xingyao Media's official Weibo account released a formal statement.

The copyright of all songs sung by singer Li Haorui belongs to Xingyao Media, and a detailed list of songs has been provided, which basically covers all of Li Haorui's songs.

In addition, the statement directly mentioned that the copyright of the name "Li Haorui" also belongs to Xingyao Media, and Li Haorui shall not use the name Li Haorui in public activities in the future.

This statement further amplified the public's interest in the matter.

A day of revelry for onlookers.

"Fight! Fight!"

"I support Director Lu, but Director Lu is outnumbered and outmatched!"

"Don't be afraid, Director Lu, we've got your back!"

On the other side, in the offices of Chang'an Entertainment.

Chang'an Entertainment and Burning Studio currently share offices.

Chang Na and Li Quan were both sitting on the sofa.

A lawyer was sitting next to him.

Signing Li Haorui would inevitably have a significant impact. Lu Ran discussed this point in detail with Li Quan after deciding to sign Li Haorui that day.

The crude agent may not understand art, but he understands technology.

Li Quan became familiar with these kinds of things in the industry through on-the-job learning.

Xingyao Media's statement was entirely within his expectations.

Li Quan stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, his expression completely calm.

"We also issued a statement."

The lawyer standing nearby nodded.

Shortly after, Burning Studio also released an official statement.

One response concerns the name Li Haorui, because Li Haorui is his real name, and Xingyao Media has no right to deprive Li Haorui of his right to use the name.

This topic was actually deliberately released by Xingyao Media to disgust people.

How could Xingyao Media not know that this is Li Haorui's real name?

Song copyright is of paramount importance.

It must be so frustrating for a singer not to be able to sing their own songs.

Burning Studio's response was very simple.

I reminded Xingyao Media not to forget to continue sharing profits with Li Haorui.

Although the copyright of the song belongs to Xingyao Media, Li Haorui, as the singer, is still entitled to the copyright revenue according to the contract, and this will not change.

Finally, Burning Studio stated that all of Li Haorui's upcoming songs will be produced by Lu Ran himself.

Immediately, netizens became excited.

"Lu Ran is writing a new song!"

"I knew it! Signing Li Haorui meant he'd have to write new songs, otherwise it would have been a waste of the contract!"

"Star Media hasn't produced any new songs for Li Haorui in all these years, not even theme songs for film and television dramas. It's time for them to leave!"

"Looking forward to Lu Ting's new song!"

Burning Studio's strong response has further amplified the buzz surrounding this issue.

Netizens don't care about this or that; as long as we have Lu Ting's new song to listen to, that's a good thing.

Meanwhile, Lu Ran and Li Haorui ignored the online discussions.

This matter was directly handed over to Li Quan.

In the company's recording studio.

Lu Ran handed the printed lyrics and sheet music to Li Haorui.

"This is your first song, take a look."
