Chapter 262: Qjngqing is Making a Move, Termination of Contract! (1)
Translator: _Min_
Two audio clips were posted by a newly registered Weibo account, soaring instantly to the top of the entertainment hot search, attracting an ever-growing audience.
Even those who hadn’t followed “Youth With You” were intrigued enough to listen.
The recordings were of excellent quality, clearly refined in post-production for utmost clarity.
“We’re here to inform you, Xu Xiyun. We’ve discharged your grandmother from the hospital. And if you don’t drop out today, you’ll have to tomorrow. It’s the agency’s decision, and you can’t oppose it. Your mentor’s protection won’t help. ”
“What right do we have? Because you have no backing or capital, get it?”
...
This unfamiliar voice was a first for the fans; they instantly recognized it as someone from Wangchuan Entertainment.
But the second voice was strikingly familiar.
Lou Lianghua, in “Youth With You”, was known for his role as a vocalist.
His unique tone had garnered him many votes.
However, today, his usually melodious voice carried the ugliest of words in the most contemptible tone.
“Xu Xiyun, you’re lucky today. Teacher Si has temporarily saved you, but it’s just for a few days. You will still have to withdraw from the petition and leave your spot for me.”
“Listening to Teacher Si? Don’t think she alone, as a mentor, can decide such things. It’s the investors! It’s best you withdraw willingly, so you can get the money for treatment. If your grandmother dies…”
The recording abruptly ended there.
The last sentence, whether unfinished by Lou Lianghua or cut off in the recording, left much to the imagination.
The fans, and even netizens indifferent to the entertainment circle, were outraged.
[We’ve seen shamelessness, but this is a new low, using family as a threat.
Verbal murder is still murder!]
[I’m disgusted. Lou Lianghua, how dare you! To think I once voted for you. I want my money back from the show!]
[Boycott Wangchuan Entertainment! Lou Lianghua, withdraw from the petition!]
[As long as Lou Lianghua doesn’t withdraw, I won’t watch ‘Youth With You’.]
[Think Xu Xiyun’s ninth place is too low? Brothers and sisters, let’s vote.
Today, Xu Xiyun will be in the top five!]
Injustices were all too mon, and many could empathize.
The trending exploded online.
“#XuXiyun, The Truth Behind the Withdrawal#”
“#Boycott Wangchuan Entertainment#”
“#Refuse Capital’s Filth#”
The public opinion was pletely out of control. The PR manager of Wangchuan Entertainment, left with no choice, shut down ments and private messages, not daring to look anymore.
With many trending tonics. they couldn’t all he removed
The show’s official Weibo ments continued to skyrocket.
The producer, facing the backlash, hadn’t expected Si Fuqing to leak the recording.
“Miss Si, this will affect your future!” the producer approached her, inhaling deeply. “By releasing it like this, other projects might hesitate to collaborate with you…”
The entertainment industry had its secrets, and insiders knew what should and shouldn’t be said.
Indeed, Wangchuan Entertainment was at fault, and it was natural for fans to be angry.
But leaking private recordings would make industry insiders wary of Si Fuqing’s unpredictability.
Who would dare collaborate with such a ticking time bomb?
“That’s for the best.” Si Fuqing, propping her chin, her fox-like eyes curving, appeared unconcerned. “If no one seeks me out, I can finally lay flat.”
The producer, unable to steady his hand holding the cup, exclaimed in shock,
“Miss Si… are you planning to retire?”
A divine beauty like Si Fuqing, rare in years in the entertainment circle, retiring?
It would be a loss for the entire industry!
Si Fuqing spoke lightly, “Maybe after fulfilling his movie mitment, then I’ll retire. ”
The producer was taken aback.
Who?
The film and television circles were distinct realms.
Even acclaimed television actresses might not land good film scripts.
Casting for movies involved not just evaluating acting skills but also market research to assess box office appeal.
Last summer, a big-budget movie with a popular male idol lead flopped, failing to recoup its cost.
Even movie stars couldn’t guarantee box office success for every film.
In the Great Xia Empire, if anyone truly had box office appeal, it was only one person – Qu Lingyun.
His directed films were always packed upon release, never failing..
