1621 I Know What To Do
“After my mother fell sick and passed away, that couple became even worse. They didn’t give me anything. Even when I debuted, I had to work hard to get to where I am now.
“However, after I became famous, my father was afraid that I wouldn’t listen to him, so he placed a trusted aide by my side and made her my manager. In short, he refused to let me recover.”
His tone was lazy as if he was talking about someone else.
“It would’ve been fine if they managed the company well, but what kind of people are they supporting now? They’re trying their best to squeeze people like me dry. Even if we’re injured, we won’t be able to rest. As for those who come from rich families, they spend more money to support them. Who cares if the artistes are actually good or not? There’s already a lot of resentment in the company. I’ve contacted the people who are going to leave, and I’ve prepared a backup plan to help them terminate their contracts.
“However, there are too many of them. At most, I can only set up a personal studio to accommodate myself. I can’t afford to take on so many of them.
“Instead of letting them go to other companies where they won’t be valued, I might as well let them follow you, President Su.
“I’ve asked around and found out that you value talents. As long as someone has the ability, they’ll do well if they end up in your hands.”
Yuan Haoyang did not look serious, but every word he said was serious.
Su Bei looked at him and could feel his sincerity. Besides, as he had said on the phone before, she would not lose out on this deal. At most, she would offend Butterfly Music.
However, strictly speaking, normal business competition was not considered an offense.
“President Su, what do you think? Do you want to consider it?” Yuan Haoyang asked.
“Okay, get someone to come over and contact Yue Ze from Nirvana Entertainment,” Su Bei said. “Let’s make a plan before moving forward with it.”
Yuan Haoyang reached out his hand. “Here’s to a happy cooperation, President Su.”
“Yes, let’s have a happy cooperation.”
Yuan Haoyang arranged for those people to follow Su Bei, but he did not do the same.
His current situation was not good. The resources that belonged to him had already been given to the newcomer led by Cao Kexiu.
The newcomer took the same route as him. He had a cool and arrogant image. He used Yuan Haoyang’s new song and took a large portion of his market.
In addition, Guo Xintao also took the opportunity to squeeze in and get a share of the pie. No one believed that Yuan Haoyang could still make a comeback.
[Yuan Haoyang’s throat is damaged. He won’t be able to sing in the future.] A marketing account speculated as if they had seen Yuan Haoyang’s condition with their own eyes. [Besides, his lungs are injured too. It’s impossible for him to speak properly, let alone sing.]
Another marketing account immediately followed suit. [That’s not all. I’ve asked a friend in the hospital. His health is very bad, and it’s difficult for him to dance anymore.]
[By the way, it’s said that Yuan Haoyang is known for his bad temper in the hospital. Even the doctors can’t be bothered with him. His personal assets have also been liquidated to pay compensation to those brands. He’s already reduced to the point where he can’t even afford to pay the hospital fees.]
[Moreover, he’s really unpopular. According to the nurse, not only has no family or friends ever visited him while he’s been hospitalized but even the caregiver doesn’t want to take care of him. It’s because he has a bad temper and is very rude. This overturns my initial impression of him.]
[One of the unsolved mysteries of my life is, how does a person like Yuan Haoyang have fans? Do you have any unsolved mysteries?] One marketing account even came up with such a clickbait title to mislead others.
Yuan Haoyang’s reputation naturally became worse and worse under these disparaging comments.
His assistant asked in a low voice, “Brother Haoyang, if this continues, it’ll be really difficult for you to make a comeback in the future. We…”
“What can I do now?” Yuan Haoyang was helped to sit up. “Without a healthy body, I’ll only be laughed at by others if I make a comeback. You should go ahead with your duties. I’ll figure things out myself.”
His assistant could not bear to see Yuan Haoyang like this, but there was nothing else he could do.
While Yuan Haoyang was still recuperating, there was a drastic change in Butterfly Music.
More than half of the artistes and managers in the company left. Moreover, they all took out well-prepared termination contracts and hired an extremely strong legal team.
Butterfly Music had indeed mistreated these artistes in the past few years. Their decision to terminate their contracts immediately won the unanimous support of society.
Coupled with the powerful legal team, these artistes got their desired outcome without much effort.
At the same time, what shocked everyone was that after they terminated their contracts, the word ‘Nirvana’ was quickly added to their Weibo name.
It was referring to Nirvana Entertainment.
The shock that came from this was even greater than when those artistes terminated their contracts.
Nirvana Entertainment, which had only been running for a short period of time, had risen rapidly. Now, the company had actually taken over half of Butterfly Music’s artistes and managers. It was extremely shocking.
All of this happened quietly without anyone noticing.
By the time Butterfly Media reacted, their former employees had already arrived at Nirvana Entertainment. They would begin work as normal the next day.
The higher-ups of Butterfly Music were shocked and angry.
However, there was nothing they could do.
Those people had already terminated their contracts lawfully. They had the freedom to go wherever they wanted.
Butterfly Music had no choice but to release some dirt on those people.
However, those people had previously starred in many works. Even if they were not the protagonists, they played many familiar supporting roles.
Facing Butterfly Music’s efforts to smear those artistes’ names, Nirvana Entertainment guided everyone to recall their favorite moments from those movies and shows.
It was naturally difficult for artistes with good representative works to be defeated by a small scandal.
Those people were once again mentioned by everyone and entered the spotlight.
When Yuan Haoyang saw the news, he called Su Bei. “Mr. Su, I didn’t trust you wrongly. If these people can continue to follow your lead, I’ll be able to have an explanation for my mother.”
“What about you?” Su Bei asked.
“Me? I haven’t recovered yet. Besides, I’ll establish my own studio,” Yuan Haoyang said lazily. “Also, I’ve been oppressed for the past few years. I won’t work so hard in the future. It’s fine as long as I don’t starve to death.
Su Bei smiled. “It’s up to you. Nirvana Entertainment isn’t good at music anyway.”
“What matters is that those people are fine. I won’t starve to death anyway.”
After he finished speaking, he heard a noise at the door and said, “I’m hanging up now.”
After putting down the phone, Lin Wenyu walked in. She was wearing a surgical mask, but her eyes could be seen. She blinked and looked around before saying, “You haven’t been practicing singing, have you?”
“No, I’m too lazy to practice,” Yuan Haoyang replied lazily.
“That’s good.” Seeing that he was resting peacefully, Lin Wenyu took out the soup. “Drink it.”
