Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene
Chapter 88 "Universal Entertainment".
Nie Mingzhu verbally agreed to Jiangxi Heng's request in private, but when her manager found out, she scolded her severely: "Are you bored out of your mind? Didn't you just say you wanted me to give you a holiday during the New Year? Why are you bothering with your childhood sweetheart now? What is he now, and what are you?"
Nie Mingzhu frowned: "He's a piece of trash, and so am I!"
The agent erupted in a tirade: "Yes, you're both scum! After all these years of entanglement, he still wants to ride your coattails? Use your brain, Nie Mingzhu!"
Nie Mingzhu was truly enraged this time: "Jiang Xiheng is not that kind of person."
The agent sneered: "You may be blind, but I am not. Back in 21, you filmed a campus drama, and someone else followed suit and filmed a campus drama. They even bought articles saying that your campus drama was no good. In the end, it was him who was dragged down."
In 22, you two were in the same period drama. A hater took a screenshot of your nostrils and accidentally liked it, which made you a target of ridicule. If it weren't for the improved reputation of this period drama, you would still be being targeted!
In 23, you two were competing for the fourth male lead role in the same movie, and he lost. His company immediately released press releases claiming you were arrogant and had a bad temper...
What the agent said is true.
Nie Mingzhu scratched his head in frustration, his chest heaving.
"You know what kind of people Jiangxi Heng's parents are. What choice did he, a minor, have at the time? Besides, didn't you have any other thoughts?"
I've said for a long time that I want to act in movies, but you guys say I'm trying to avoid Jiangxi Heng. I didn't want to take that campus drama in the first place. The director revealed that he originally wanted Jiangxi Heng to act in it, but you guys spent money on it!
That historical romance drama was my first time filming, and if I didn't act well, that's my own problem. What's wrong with friends teasing each other? Don't I always post embarrassing photos of Jiangxi Heng on Weibo? You guys are making a mountain out of a molehill and complicating things!
As Nie Mingzhu spoke, his frustration grew heavier and heavier.
It was these adults who caused him to lose his childhood friends.
Doesn't he know who Jiangxi Heng is?
To put it nicely, it's aloofness and arrogance; to put it bluntly, it's ambition exceeding one's capabilities.
This person, once defeated, will only become despondent; he would never think of seeking revenge. He simply wouldn't do it!
Seeing Nie Mingzhu's reddened eyes, the agent couldn't help but soften her tone. After all, he was a child she had raised herself, and he was only 18 years old now. She sighed and said:
"In the past, Jiangxi Heng and his company were inseparable. Now, Jiang Zheng and Weng Xueqi have abandoned him and gone abroad, even transferring this crumbling company to him. It's better to cut ties completely. As long as he gets through this most difficult period, he might be able to continue. Do you know where he got that script?"
Upon hearing that there was a chance, Nie Mingzhu suppressed the upward curve of her lips and said, "I don't know."
The agent then asked, "So, do you know what his script is about?"
Nie Mingzhu bared his teeth, looking guilty, and said, "I don't know."
The agent flew into a rage: "You know nothing, and you're arguing with me like this! Nie Mingzhu, are you an idiot?!"
"Ouch, ouch!" Nie Mingzhu covered his head and dodged the attack.
After calming down, the agent rolled her eyes at Nie Mingzhu: "Alright, I'll contact Jiangxi Heng to discuss the situation. Don't forget, although the company values you, the contract you signed is still a Category B contract. I was originally planning to upgrade it for you after the New Year..."
Nie Mingzhu joined the company early and signed a ten-year Class B contract, which severely restricted his personal freedom. If it weren't for his agent protecting him, he would have been devoured by some despicable executives long ago. However, now that he has gained fame, anyone who wants to touch him will have to consider the impact.
Nie Mingzhu put his arm around his manager's shoulder, laughing heartily, "I knew my sister loved me the most!"
……
Zhengxue Entertainment was once an unremarkable company in the entertainment industry, mainly composed of three people: boss Weng Xueqi, Jiang Zheng, and artist Jiangxi Heng.
Later, due to poor management, the company incurred debts of tens of millions.
When Jiangxi Heng turned eighteen, Weng Xueqi and Jiang Zheng coaxed him into signing the company's inheritance contract.
They said, "Son, from now on you're in charge of your own life. Don't you always say we interfere with your life and take on too many roles you don't like? From now on, you can choose the roles you want."
The original owner of this body truly believed that her parents loved her that day.
Not long after, he received news that his parents had left without saying goodbye. They took away their savings of many years and left him with an empty company and a bunch of messy problems.
Layoffs, bankruptcy filing, and millions in debt—the 18-year-old boy endured the most painful month of his life.
Jiangxi Heng stood in front of Zhengxue Entertainment Company because the land had not yet been reclaimed due to the expiration of the lease.
He directed the workers to dismantle the company sign, and countless specks of dust fell, like the bitter and suffocating first half of the original owner's life.
"Brother Heng!" Two young men stepped out of the elevator; they were Fang Weiyang and Chi Ziyou.
After withdrawing from the competition, the two spent three days with their families before rushing to find Jiangxi Heng.
Carrying a spicy rabbit head, a local specialty, Chi Ziyou stepped forward and looked around curiously: "Is this your previous company?"
Jiangxi Heng nodded: "I'll change my name from now on."
Fang Weiyang asked, "What name should we change it to?"
Jiangxi Heng pointed to the GG sign that was being hung up: "Universal Entertainment".
"Huanyu" means the world and the universe, and this word is much grander than "Zhengxue".
While munching on a rabbit head, Chi Ziyou said, "From now on, should I call you President Jiang?"
The two inexperienced newcomers couldn't even imagine the immense pressure that Jiangxi Heng was under at that moment.
First, there's the rent for this land. It expires at the end of the year, meaning he'll need to pay the annual rent of 50 yuan in one lump sum in a month.
Zhengxue Company is just a name change, but the essence remains the same. Jiangxi Heng still has tens of millions of debts. After the bank confirmed Jiangxi Heng's assets, they took away his house. He is now homeless and can only stay at the company temporarily.
The company couldn't afford to pay wages and laid off its employees, leaving it an empty shell. It urgently needs to recruit employees, which is another daily expense.
Even with careful budgeting, the production team for the web series still needs at least 100 million yuan in start-up capital…
But Jiangxi Heng only had 50 yuan on him, at most.
Jiangxi Heng took out his phone from his pocket and posted a message on Weibo.
Chi Ziyou, being nearby and seeing the whole thing clearly because of Jiangxi Heng's undisguised attitude, exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Heng, are you going to sell the cover rights to 'Mantuo Villa'?"
