Chapter 139 Xia Wanqiu Was Bullied, CEO Li Is Furious! _1
On this day, Xia Wanqiu had just finished filming Keep Running and returned to the company.
The atmosphere in the entire company was very dull.
On the table was a pile of documents.
CEO Li sat there without saying a word.
Xu Yang, Su Xiaoyu, Lin Jingjing, and the others lowered their heads.
Su Xiaoyu’s eyes were even a little red.
Xia Wanqiu hurriedly walked up to take a look and saw the documents on the table.
Every document was a statement with a contract attached.
“The official contract termination notice between Wahaha and Xia Wanqiu.”
“Notice of contract termination between Auspicious Air Conditioner and Xia Wanqiu.”
“Contract termination notice between Lenovo and Xia Wanqiu.”
“Notice of contract termination between Refreshing facial mask company and Xia Wanqiu.”
“Notice of contract termination between AA Skincare and Xia Wanqiu.”
There were a total of 28 documents. A total of 18 endorsement companies, and ten advertising companies had terminated their contracts with Xia Wanqiu!
95% of Xia Wanqiu’s endorsements and advertising companies terminated their contracts with her.
Furthermore, there was a high penalty for breach of contract.
It was not that these endorsements and companies had broken the contract, but that Xia Wanqiu had to pay a high penalty.
There was a rule in the contract that if Xia Wanqiu caused serious negative effects on these brands, the company could unconditionally terminate the contract and the celebrity would have to pay the penalty.
Even if those photos on the Internet didn’t confirm that Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu were secretly in a relationship, just those negative comments alone made Xia Wanqiu suffer a fatal blow.
Countless fans on the Internet were scolding her, and all sorts of haters were defaming Xia Wanqiu. This time, there were too many entertainment companies who wanted to destroy Xia Wanqiu.
Xia Wanqiu was Yuehua Entertainment’s number one female artiste, and she was also a big star in the company.
In the entertainment industry, Xia Wanqiu’s popularity was very high, but because of the push of the teams behind her, Xia Wanqiu suffered such a heavy blow.
With so many contract termination notices, Xia Wanqiu had to pay a penalty of 280 million yuan!
Of course, if Xia Wanqiu did not have the ability to pay the penalty, there would be additional rules on these contracts.
Without paying the penalty fee, Xia Wanqiu would not be able to take on any other endorsements or even engage in any commercial activities. In other words, she would be completely banned.
If someone did not understand this, such as a female celebrity or a male celebrity, they would immediately be banned after their act of multi-people exercise was exposed.
All the products and shows endorsed by this celebrity would be affected.
Therefore, these products and programs would immediately terminate their contracts with the celebrities and ask for compensation.
Although there was no concrete news about Xia Wanqiu and Lin Fan, the many negative news on the Internet had a serious impact on these endorsements.
Therefore, these 28 documents almost completely banned Xia Wanqiu.
Unless Xia Wanqiu could afford such a high penalty.
This way, Xia Wanqiu was not the only one affected.
How could they film the second season of Joy of Life if they lost the female lead?
For the second season of such a television drama to become popular, the original cast had to be used.
Once the female lead was changed, countless fans would give up on the drama, such as the third season of My Fair Princess.
Xia Wanqiu was the most affected.
Yuehua was also affected.
There was no way to start filming the second season of Joy of Life.
All of Xia Wanqiu’s shows and variety shows were affected.
Many of the negative news about Xia Wanqiu this time were rumors.
However, because Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu were too close and too intimate with each other, coupled with these rumors, Xia Wanqiu almost fell into a hopeless situation.
If she paid the 280 million yuan in cash, Xia Wanqiu would have no money.
No matter what, the loss to Xia Wanqiu was quite huge.
Of course, the many contracts could be slowly resolved through legal means. It did not mean that Xia Wanqiu had to compensate them.
The goal of the team behind the rumors was to ban Xia Wanqiu and target the entire Yuehua.
Now, if Xia Wanqiu wanted to salvage her reputation,
There was only one choice.
That was to quickly respond to these rumors online and clarify her relationship with Lin
Fan.
But now, there was no way to clarify.
Lin Fan had indeed brought Xia Wanqiu home.
This was originally a very normal piece of news, but it would be misinterpreted by netizens online.
[Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu are living together!]
(This is not Xia Wanqiu’s first time!]
(Xia Wanqiu’s virginity belongs to Lin Fan!]
It was a fact that Lin Fan had brought Xia Wanqiu home, but there was no evidence behind it.
But there was no way to refute or clarify.
Even if it was clarified,
The haters would not believe it.
A man and a woman alone in a room at night. How many people would believe that they were discussing a script?
Therefore, such clarification was useless. Xia Wanqiu was affected and the negative news that spread was still there.
Someone said that there could be a second choice.
Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu had to officially announce that they were together.
Then, the impact on Xia Wanqiu would be even more fatal. Wasn’t that equivalent to indirectly admitting that Xia Wanqiu’s virginity belonged to Lin Fan? It was also equivalent to indirectly admitting those rumors on the Internet were true.
Furthermore, Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu hadn’t reached that stage yet. Even legally, there was no way to support Xia Wanqiu.
In the end, there was only one choice.
She would either have to pay a termination fee of 280 million yuan or be completely banned.
Even if Xia Wanqiu paid the termination fee and made a comeback, would the reputation of the second season of Joy of Life be as good as that of the first season?
Could Xia Wanqiu’s popularity return to the same level as before?
Would anyone still support Xia Wanqiu’s future television dramas?
All of this was unknown.
But one thing was certain.
The team that wanted to defame Xia Wanqiu had succeeded.
They wanted to target Xia Wanqiu, Yuehua Entertainment, and the people in the second season of Joy of Life. They succeeded.
Now, even if she paid the penalty, the popularity of the second season of Joy of Life would quickly decrease and be greatly reduced.
If Joy of Life’s second season were to compete with Huace Pictures’ “Star Garden”, there was no doubt that the second season of Joy of Life would be completely crushed.
“Star Garden” was not as weak as “General
and I”.
On the contrary, with Lin Kexin joining “Star Garden”, it became even more popular. At the same time, this was a script written by five top screenwriters in the industry. It couldn’t be too bad.
Even the second season of Joy of Life at its peak might not be able to compete with “Star Garden”.
Now that they had encountered such a thing, Yuehua Entertainment seemed to be destined to lose.
CEO Li slammed the table angrily. The teacup on the table fell to the ground and shattered.
“What the f*ck.”
“The people outside are bullying the artistes in my company. They’re all bullying me. They’re bullying Yuehua for being useless. They’re bullying Yuehua for having no one to stand up to them!”
“Since there are people outside who want to start a war with Yuehua Entertainment, let’s… start a war!”
