The Fleeting Years of Chinese Entertainment

"Xiao Mo, I've already signed a contract with Sony. After they hold my coming-of-age ceremony... I might have to go to Japan for a while."

Hearing Liu Yifei's somewhat disappointed words, Lin Mo couldn't help but reach out and touch the girl's little nose, wanting to comfort her.

"This temporary separation is so that we can reunite better and for a longer time in the future. Don't worry... I will wait for you to come back. During your time in the island nation, I will definitely not have any affairs."

Liu Yifei slapped Lin Mo's clutches away, puffed out her cheeks, and said in a coquettish voice, "Hmph! You dare? You try touching me! Believe me, I'll bite you to death!"

"Hehe... No, no, you look so cute and fierce, you're not intimidating at all, you're trying to scare people... You can't even scare your pets, can you?"

"Lin Mo, go to hell... you're teasing me again."

Liu Yifei tried to reach out and pinch Lin Mo's waist, but Lin Mo grabbed her instead and pulled her into his arms.

"Hehehe... There are plenty of handsome guys abroad. To prevent you from getting involved with other women, I need to give you my stamp of approval in advance."

As Lin Mo spoke, he slowly pressed his lips against Liu Yifei's plump and bouncy lips.

"No... Xiao Mo... I still... Waaah..."

……

Jalun's "Initial D" has been officially released, and the box office in mainland China and Hong Kong is quite good. The combined box office on the first day is close to ten million.

The promotion of Tsui Hark's "Seven Swords" is intensifying, as there is only one month left before the film's release, which is the best time to promote the film.

"Seven swordsmen descend from the Heavenly Mountain, their chivalry upholding the world."

This phrase originates from the background of Liang Yusheng's novel "Seven Swordsmen of Mount Tian," and was directly used by Xu Ke as a "borrowed flower to present to Buddha."

The results were quite good, and there were many comments online expressing anticipation for the film's release.

It has to be said that Tsui Hark still has some appeal, after all, the slogan "Wuxia is dead" has not yet been widely spread.

Nobody knew what kind of work Tsui Hark would present to the audience this time…

Instead of the usual carefree and chivalrous life of martial arts films, it was a "defense" with a long and drawn-out plot and a rushed ending, failing to continue the glory of martial arts films.

at the same time…

"Rumors! Pure rumors. They can't sign her and they want to ruin her. I've met Liu Yifei; she's a very innocent and kind girl. I don't know which idiot is jealous of her current success..."

"Heh...transgender, abortion? Does this person spreading rumors even have a brain? They already said she's transgender, how can they add 'abortion' on top of that? I think this is just someone who couldn't get a contract and is deliberately smearing her to ruin her reputation and get revenge. But we at Guangxian have always been truthful..."

"This is baseless speculation, completely fabricated. Some people these days... they get cocky just because they produced a TV series with decent ratings. They don't realize their place and dare to smear anyone. Wanda will definitely not cooperate with people like this again..."

……

These interviews, which were practically naming names, seemed to have been coordinated by several major film and television companies, and were reported by the media at almost the same time.

The scale of the event was so grand that, not only in the film industry, but even in the entire entertainment industry, no one had seen such a spectacle in a long time…

Moreover, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that these company executives are referring to certain individuals or companies.

After all, it's not exactly a secret that Cai Yinong from Tangren Media wanted to sign Liu Yifei, and Cai Yinong's personality is pretty much a well-known fact.

Destroying what you can't have... Sister Cai might actually be capable of doing that.

These interview reports were like a bolt from the blue for Ms. Cai, who was sitting in the Tangren store, leaving her "trembling all over".

"What's going on? What exactly happened?"

The shattered pieces of ornaments in Tsai Yinong's office were almost scattered all over the floor.

"What else could it be? You've already forgotten the mess you made?"

Li Guoli lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

"I told you not to mess with her... don't mess with her! Look at her now, Tangren is practically a rat crossing the street, are you satisfied now?"

"Lin Mo? It's Lin Mo!!!" After thinking for a moment, Cai Yinong shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Who else could it be? Liu Yifei doesn't have that much power on her own!" Li Guoli said worriedly.

"I wonder how far Lin Mo intends to go? Is this the end... or is he holding back some big moves?"

"Old Li, you still have the nerve to worry about his next move? He's ruined our Tangren brand, even those male celebrities and endorsements I just negotiated with Hu Ge are all over..."

At this point, Tsai Yinong was genuinely regretting it. A few lost gigs and endorsements were no big deal, since Hu Ge's value had only just begun to rise and he couldn't negotiate much more money.

But the company's reputation is ruined... that's the real issue. It's an intangible asset that no amount of money can buy back, and it's worth far more than a few male celebrities endorsing the company.

"Then what can I do? Should I also learn from Lin Mo? Do you think I have that much power? Or do you think that in those people's eyes... my value is higher than Lin Mo's?"

Li Guoli threw the half-burnt cigarette on the ground, completely disregarding Cai Yinong's wildly twitching lips.

"Yinong, we've been working together for so many years, and we've suffered a lot of ridicule and disdain in the past, but why can't you hold back this time? I've never seen you so irrational before."

Is it really as the outside world says... that you've gotten arrogant? Have you lost sight of your place in this industry? Do you know that in the eyes of those big film and television companies... Tangren is practically nothing? I sincerely advise you: you really need to wake up!

Listening to her old partner's scolding, Cai Yinong finally calmed down...

Two minutes later,

Cai Yinong's expression calmed down a little, and she slowly spoke:

"Phew... Sorry, Lao Li, this time... I admit I was wrong. Let's talk about what's next with this! You just said Lin Mo might have something to do next? Can you guess what he'll do next?"

Seeing that Cai Yinong had finally calmed down, Li Guoli couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"He might even make a TV series to target us..."

"Can…"

"Let me finish speaking!"

Just as Cai Yinong was about to speak, Li Guoli interrupted her: "You're not trying to say that Lin Mo can't act in TV dramas, are you?"

Li Guoli's face was immediately filled with a look of disappointment and frustration.

Because he saw that Tsai Yinong actually nodded...
