Chapter 189 The Regretful Dragon
"Didn't I tell you, they'll regret it!"
Quan Zhilong stared at his ringing phone and couldn't help but roar at his manager on the other end. Then, upon hearing what was said, he exclaimed in alarm with a worried expression, "What did you say? Sanxing terminated my contract?"
The importance of Sanxing to the peninsula needs no further explanation!
As the leading conglomerate on the peninsula, there is a saying that circulates on the peninsula.
For people on the peninsula, there are three things they cannot live without: birth, death, and the three prosperities!
In the eyes of the tycoons on the Korean Peninsula, these people in the entertainment industry are no different from actors.
Even the top bigwigs in the Peninsula entertainment industry wouldn't dare offend Sanxing, let alone him.
If he still had thoughts of seeking compensation when other brands dropped his endorsements, he couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance when Sanxing terminated his contract.
If he angers the Sanxing Group, they can make it impossible for him to stay in the peninsula with just one sentence.
Quan Zhilong simply couldn't understand why a mainland program would cause Sanxing to terminate his contract, so he couldn't help but ask his agent.
Upon hearing Quan Zhilong's question, his manager quickly explained the current situation to him.
After his agent explained, Jeon Ji-yong finally understood the general situation.
There are two main reasons why Sanxing terminated its endorsement deal with Quanzhilong.
One reason is that Quan Zhilong's reputation in the peninsula is not very good at this time. It can be said that his situation is not much different from that of Lü Ming before, or even more serious.
Although Sanxing wasn't worried about public opinion, it ultimately chose to abandon him after considering the situation.
Secondly, Sanxing now attaches great importance to the vast market in mainland China. In fact, it is currently the best-performing peninsula enterprise in mainland China, with mainland business accounting for a large part of Sanxing's revenue.
Sanxing originally planned to boost their popularity in mainland China by having Quan Zhilong as their spokesperson, but what happened today is unacceptable to Sanxing.
Since the show aired, especially after Fatty Du knelt down before Quan Zhilong, Sanxing has indeed received a lot of attention, but almost all of it has been met with resistance.
This is something that Sanxing cannot accept.
Originally intending to further expand into the mainland market, they never expected that instead of expanding, they would face resistance from the mainland population.
Within just a few tens of minutes of the program airing, Sanxing's official website was almost overwhelmed by mainland users who were boycotting and leaving negative reviews. Even Sanxing's official store received countless return requests. In fact, many Sanxing users have announced that they will continue to boycott Sanxing products if Quan Zhilong remains the spokesperson for Sanxing.
Facing this person who caused huge losses to Sanxing's business in mainland China, Sanxing was already being lenient by not killing Quan Zhilong.
"Can you please understand?"
Quan Zhilong never expected that today's impact would be so great, even affecting his core base. He originally wanted to make a last-ditch effort, but after hearing his agent's almost cold pronouncement on the other end of the phone, he could only silently accept it.
Thinking about the current situation, Quan Zhilong's eyes were filled with hatred for Lü Ming.
If it weren't for him, he would never be in such a sorry state now. Not only has his once solid fan base become somewhat unstable, making him a sinner in the Peninsula music scene, but he has also lost a large number of endorsements, dropping directly from the first tier to the second tier in the Peninsula music industry.
If this impact cannot be resolved, he may not even have a place to stay in the Korean Peninsula entertainment industry.
Even though Quan Zhilong wanted nothing more than to kill Lü Ming, he knew that his most important task was to go back and deal with the matter as soon as possible.
While Quan Zhilong was troubled by these matters, Lü Ming, who had returned to the lounge, became a hot commodity. Staff members from Hunan TV flocked to Lü Ming's lounge with pens and paper, asking for his autograph.
Although everyone has seen many celebrities, they are still ordinary people. The song and words tonight also touched them, and they couldn't help but admire Lü Ming.
"Director Li, you don't need to, do you?"
Looking at Li Yan, who was eagerly approaching him with a pen and paper in his hand (which he apparently snatched from some staff member), Lü Ming couldn't help but complain.
"Yes, yes, I'll use it!"
Li Yan approached Lü Ming with a fawning expression, urging him on. Then, he took the signed paper from Lü Ming and carefully put it into his pocket.
At Li Yan's age and status, being a fan of celebrities is completely irrelevant to him.
Let alone Lü Ming, even those superstars, movie stars, and even world-renowned directors wouldn't ask Li Yan to come over for an autograph. But Li Yan couldn't resist his old boss's request. His old boss personally asked Li Yan to get an autograph for his granddaughter.
Faced with his former boss's request, Li Yan simply couldn't refuse.
"You!"
"You've really impressed me!"
After Li Yan left with the autograph, Teacher He came in and looked at Lü Ming resting inside, and couldn't help but say with some emotion.
Teacher He can say that he has personally witnessed Lü Ming's rise to prominence.
When he first went to "Back to Field", he was just a nobody, and he couldn't compare with Wu Qian and others who were at the height of their popularity at the time. Even Teacher He didn't really notice Lü Ming back then.
At the time, Lü Ming was just a nobody, but he didn't care about those stars who were more famous than him. He even didn't let Teacher Huang go. He made his debut on the show with a nine-turn intestine, and then gradually became popular in other variety shows, becoming a top star in the industry.
Even at this point, Lü Ming's reputation and status were still not very secure.
After all, for a young celebrity who becomes incredibly popular like this, if they don't have solid works to back them up, their popularity will come and go quickly.
To be honest, even He Jiong at the time didn't believe that Lü Ming could turn things around, given the online criticisms of his acting skills.
Given the public opinion at the time, let alone a young actor like Lü Ming, even top-tier celebrities in the entertainment industry might not have been able to withstand that wave of public criticism.
However, even under those circumstances, Lü Ming still managed to turn the tide perfectly.
The wildly popular drama "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" completely silenced the doubts about him online, and made many people aware of Lü Ming's name and acting skills.
For example, when Lü Ming was invited by Hunan TV to participate in this episode of "Asian King", He Jiong was not very confident at first. Even after listening to Lü Ming's song "Ode to Young China", he only thought that he would achieve a decent result and would not be eliminated. He never expected that Lü Ming would win the championship with such an almost overwhelming result.
Judging from the broad smile on Li Yan's face when he came out, Teacher He knew that this episode's ratings would definitely be a smash hit.
After today, Lü Ming's fame will probably reach new heights.
Before this, Lü Ming was already a top-tier celebrity in mainland China. Even He Jiong couldn't imagine how famous and popular Lü Ming would become after today. Perhaps he would become a 'monument' in the mainland entertainment industry.
"Teacher He, you must be joking!"
Hearing Teacher He's praise, Lü Ming was unusually modest for a moment, then, as if remembering something, asked Teacher He, "What did he do afterward?"
Upon hearing Lü Ming's question, Teacher He naturally knew who Lü Ming was asking about.
"Don't worry, it will definitely be handled!"
Teacher He patted his chest and solemnly assured Lü Ming. To be honest, even as a colleague, Teacher He was very dissatisfied with Fatty Du's behavior this time and planned to distance himself from him in the future.
Not to mention the impact that Fatty Du had on Hunan TV this time. If it weren't for Lü Ming saving the day, Hunan TV would have definitely been caught in a massive media storm.
Given the current situation, not to mention Teacher He, the higher-ups at Hunan TV would definitely not let Fatty Du off the hook.
Simply put, Li Yan would never let Fatty Du go.
Given Li Yan's power, even if Fatty Du were forced to stay at Hunan TV, he wouldn't have an easy time and would definitely not receive any more resources.
Go out and make your way in the world?
That's impossible. Given Fatty Du's current reputation in China, no company or TV station would dare to take him in.
As for following Quan Zhilong, that's even more impossible, not to mention whether Quan Zhilong would even want to take him along.
According to the information received by Teacher He, Quan Zhilong is not doing well either. He has rushed to the airport without even having time to rest, preparing to catch the earliest flight back to the peninsula. At this time, Quan Zhilong definitely has no mind to care about Fatty Du.
It can be said that Du Pangzi's kneeling directly ruined his future.
"That's good!"
After hearing Teacher He's assurance, Lü Ming felt relieved.
Given what happened to Fatty Du on stage, no outcome would be too much for him.
If Hunan TV intends to cover it up, Lü Ming even has the idea of blacklisting Fatty Du himself.
Given Lü Ming's current popularity and status in the entertainment industry, if he really wanted to blacklist Fatty Du, he could absolutely do it.
"Oppa, I've come to keep my promise!"
Just as Teacher He and Lü Ming were chatting, IU excitedly pushed open the door and shouted into the lounge.
When IU saw that Teacher He was also there, she felt a little embarrassed and greeted him with a somewhat awkward expression.
"promise?"
After hearing IU's words, Teacher He looked at Lü Ming with a hint of curiosity, wondering what kind of promise the two of them had made.
Didn't these two say it was their first meeting tonight?
Why are there still promises or anything like that?
"It's about a bet we made before!"
Seeing Teacher He's curious and gossipy expression, Lü Ming gave a brief explanation.
"Yes, I made a bet with Oppa. If Oppa wins first place, I'll grant him one request! If he loses, he has to have a meal with me!"
"I'm here now to fulfill this promise!"
After hearing Lü Ming's explanation, IU quickly echoed He Jiong's words.
"Oh~~~~"
"Then I won't bother you two anymore!"
Teacher He looked at the two of them with an "I see" expression, a hint of a smile in his eyes, before opening the door and walking out.
"Oppa, what do you want me to do?"
"I can do it!"
After Teacher He left, IU quickly moved closer to Lü Ming, patted her chest, and looked at Lü Ming with an air of "I'm a man of my word."
His excited expression didn't seem like someone who had lost a bet at all; it was as if he couldn't wait for Lü Ming to make some outrageous demands.
"this one"
After hearing IU's words, Lü Ming couldn't help but look IU up and down, who was standing next to him.
In terms of looks, IU is definitely not bad, and can even be said to be excellent. With the added boost of her fame, she seems to look even more beautiful.
Regarding physique.
While not top-tier, it's definitely quite good.
Even with Lu Ming's demanding eye, he couldn't find many faults with IU in front of him.
What conditions should I propose?
Looking at Lü Ming's scrutinizing gaze, IU seemed to have thought of something, her face slightly flushed, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in her heart.
If my idol makes any unreasonable demands, should I agree?
Should I agree or not?
To say that IU has no feelings for Lü Ming would be a lie.
Leaving aside his looks, with Lü Ming's near-perfect appearance, few female celebrities in the entertainment industry could resist him.
With his near-perfect looks alone, many female celebrities would be willing to have a one-night stand with Lü Ming even if they had nothing else.
Needless to say, his talent is undeniable. As a fan of Lü Ming, IU already knew a lot about him.
Not to mention, after this episode of "Asian Kings", IU admires Lü Ming's talent even more.
As a musician, IU knows the quality of Lü Ming's song. It can be considered a classic no matter when it is played. Not to mention that Lü Ming was able to create such a classic song in just a few days after receiving the invitation from the program team. His talent is beyond question.
"How about you treat me to a meal?"
After thinking for a while, Lü Ming suddenly spoke to IU.
"what?"
"That's it?"
Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, IU paused slightly, then a look of disappointment flashed across her face, and she couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there anything else?"
"Ok?"
"What else do you want?"
Seeing the hint of expectation in IU's eyes, Lü Ming hadn't expected her to make such an excessive request. He immediately labeled her a 'pervert' and a 'female hooligan,' silently reminding himself to protect himself. (End of Chapter)
