Chapter 505: Those Tactics



Chang Fu brought his thuggish style to Tengying Entertainment.

He didn't bother with the top-tier celebrities, instead focusing on those with high social media followings.

These people were arrogant and lacked acting skills, and they liked to bring dozens of bodyguards whenever they went out, acting like they were some big shots.

Looking at the financial statements, they hadn't made a profitable show in years.

Several popular young actors in front of Chang Fu were protesting his decision to prioritize earning through endorsements before acting.

"Mr. Chang, we're not some low-tier internet celebrities; using that approach on us is clearly inappropriate."

"That's right. There are other film and TV companies. If I, Li Zifeng, leave here, there will be plenty keen to sign me."

"Exactly, I am a big star with tens of millions of fans. How would my fans see me if I start endorsing products?"

Chang Fu sneered, "You three have the nerve to talk terms? The company has invested a lot in you over the past two years. Have you ever brought any profits to the company?"

"Whether the company makes money is your business, we certainly won't become internet celebrities."

The trio formed an alliance, protesting the decision Chang Fu had made. The contract they signed with the company didn't impose many restrictions, they could leave if they wanted.

With their current fame, where couldn't they go!

"Fine, you probably think you're too big now. I, Chang Fu, am making it clear here today, if any company dares to take you in after you leave this door, they are against me, Chang Fu!"

Hmph... if Chen Pingsheng had said this, they definitely wouldn't dare to retort.

After all, a person's reputation precedes them.

Thinking back to how Boss Chen dealt with the Huayi brothers, it sent shivers down the spine of the entire entertainment industry.

Unfortunately, Boss Chen hasn't been to the headquarters of Tengying Entertainment for a long time.

Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.

But then, Boss Chen hasn't threatened them, so on what basis could Chang Fu?

They really think they can't find some wealthy women to back them.

Li Zifeng left with a snort, confident in his stance.

The same was obvious for the other two.

It just shows that all three are a bit inflated.

If Chang Fu didn't have some tricks up his sleeve, he really couldn't subdue these people.

After they left, he cheerfully called Chen Pingsheng.

"Old Chen, I just bluffed a little!"

Chen Pingsheng asked, "What did you bluff about?"

"Some big stars won't listen to me, I threatened them a bit, and they're insisting on terminating their contracts!"

"Oh, what did you threaten them with?"

"I said that leaving this door means going against me, Chang Fu, and no one would dare take them in."

"Heh, that's quite domineering of you."

"That's because you're here, right?"

Chang Fu asked him, "Those guys must have found some backing; otherwise, they wouldn't dare come together like this, Old Chen, you can't let me lose face!"

"Fine, it's just a small matter. I'll give you a number, call him, and he'll give you confidence."

Chen Pingsheng didn't even ask who was backing those people. Although Chang Fu had some tricks, Tengying Entertainment was ultimately crowded with stars.

Previously, Bai Xin was too gentle, causing many to become arrogant.

He himself was too busy, barely having time to manage those celebrities daily.

Gradually, this made some people overlook his presence.

Chen Pingsheng sent Chang Fu a number, and after Chang Fu called it.

The person on the other end agreed to meet him at the coffee shop downstairs.

Secretive with a mask and a large hat, dressed very conservatively.

He was a top-secret agent managing a team of dozens.

Only serving one person, that is Chen Pingsheng.

After hearing Chang Fu's purpose, he decisively pulled some photos from his bag.

They weren't pleasant.

Just some celebrities secretly engaging in prostitution, evading taxes, and various affair videos.

These top-secret photos, how they were obtained, would definitely not be explained.

Chang Fu doesn't need to hear the process, he just smirks with a disdainful smile, everyone calls him a gangster.

That's because they don't understand the real methods of Old Chen.

These so-called stars, in their dreams they couldn't imagine that Old Chen actually keeps a professional espionage team.

Their job is to collect dirt on the entire entertainment industry's celebrities.

Most of their collection comes from their own artists.

With such material in hand, Chang Fu feels confident.

He is certain that no sooner these three leave Tengying Entertainment, than he could expose and ban them immediately.

Old Chen, that guy, indeed came prepared.

Well… these people are just right to make an example out of them.

Chang Fu sneers inwardly, several popular stars, thinking that by finding a wealthy woman they could compete with Old Chen.

It's utterly ludicrous, overestimating themselves.

They're miles off!

Chang Fu remains composed, any significant reform in a company will definitely touch on some people's interests.

And these people, no matter the previous relationships, will soon unite due to new interests to resist the group's reforms.

If he, Chang Fu, doesn't give them a harsh lesson, who else would listen to him in the future?

Two days later, Li Zifeng successfully terminated contracts with two others.

The most attractive things about Tengying Entertainment are two-fold, one is the revenue-sharing model for artists.

The other is the contract aspect, unconstrained by anything.

It's because of these two points that Tengying Entertainment has quickly taken over half of the entertainment industry in just a few years.

A large number of top-line artists came flocking.

Thus, quickly supporting a market value of over a hundred billion.

Leaping to become the super overlord of the entertainment industry.

This excellent strategy was undoubtedly very advantageous when initially conquering the market.

Once the group stabilizes, these two points will greatly impede the company's progress, even impacting the financial reports each year.

Whether it's Tong Zelan or Shen Nanpeng, or the two investors in Tengying Entertainment.

All have reminded Chen Pingsheng of this issue.

He himself knew it too, just never found a suitable opportunity to change it.

This led to Tengying Entertainment's revenues dropping year by year over the past three years.

Many people, once they are built up, flock to start their own businesses.

Chen Pingsheng couldn't overturn his own original promises, but Chang Fu could.

He is the most suitable one to be the Knife Holder.

Another two days passed, Li Zifeng found a new boss, still a somewhat famous wealthy woman in Magic City.

In earlier years, her husband passed away, leaving her a huge inheritance.

Maybe because when she was young she could only find older ones, now at the age of fifty becoming a middle-aged woman, she wanted younger ones.

To experience the taste of love anew.

According to her plans, as long as Li Zifeng comes, she would first give him a billion to start a film production company.

Then invest a few billion more into making a blockbuster movie, turning him into a top-tier star.

It's having a wealthy woman as a backer that gives them the courage to leave Tengying Entertainment outright.

Unfortunately, while they were celebrating with wine on one side,

On the other side, Chang Fu had already had someone leak the dirt.

The very next day the wealthy woman woke up, to find a torrent of scandals.

Not her own, but of Li Zifeng whom she was ready to heavily promote.

The wealthy woman was furious.

As the saying goes, even when hitting a dog, one must look at the owner. Tengying Entertainment was completely disregarding her!
