811: 812 811: 812 Qiao Wang said coldly, “Get out of here.
It’s hard to find a toad with three legs, but two-legged stars are everywhere!”
“You!
You really dare to fire us, do you know how much our termination fee is?”
Bai Yuning raised her voice quite a bit.
She had never expected that Tianxing Media would dare to do this and directly fire them.
“Termination fee?
You seem to be mistaken, the termination fee should be paid to the company by you.”
Qiao Wang said coldly, “It’s clearly written in the contract that if your personal reasons affect filming, the company has the right to terminate the contract directly, and you must pay the termination fee.
Don’t think that I don’t know you’ve already jumped on Zhu Shaoneng’s ship.
If this gets out, you’ll be caught double-dealing.
Taking Tianxing Media’s money while working for Zhu Entertainment, who will dare to hire you in the future?
Either leave the termination fee and scram, or wait and give up on doing anything in the future.”
Bai Yuning was stunned in an instant.
They were just stars, not savvy in these matters, but it was too late for regrets now.
Tianxing Media was very adamant about dismissing them.
And indeed, they had given the other party a handle.
“Hmph, Qiao Wang, right?
Tell your boss not to regret this.”
Bai Yuning and the others paid the termination fee.
The entire crew’s termination fees amounted to two hundred million.
This saved Tianxing Media from many unnecessary losses.
“Regret?”
Qiao Wang scoffed and said, “I have never seen him regret anything, but as for you, I have a piece of advice–stay away from Zhu Shaoneng, or else you’ll be in big trouble.
His broken ship will sink sooner or later, and if you insist on mixing with them, you’ll end up unlucky, too.”
“Don’t your crocodile tears, we know what to do!”
Bai Yuning took her entire crew and left.
Xiao Chen arrived at the company and convened a meeting with the senior executives.
“Boss, although terminating the contract with Bai Yuning and the others felt good, it’s a significant blow to us at Tianxing Media.”
Fu Liuan gave a wry smile and said, “Next, we need to replace the actors, but we, Tianxing Media, are newbies in this line, and it’s really hard to find suitable candidates.
Plus, with the oppression from the Xiongcheng City Li Family and the Zhu Family, basically no one dares to sign with us.
Moreover, our variety show was tailored for Bai Yuning and the others; breaking the contract with them is like destroying everything.”
“So, you mean for me to ask them to come back?”
Xiao Chen’s voice was somewhat cold.
“No, no, not that!”
Fu Liuan knew the boss was angry.
“You with those high salaries, instead of thinking about solving problems for the company, you always bring in some trash, I seriously doubt your capabilities.”
Xiao Chen said coldly, “Also, why spend a fortune to buy the rights to South Korea’s variety shows?
Don’t you have brains?
Can’t you create your own?
Tianxing Media has a dedicated creative department, are they just freeloading?”
“Boss, we are not incapable of creating, but our Blue Sea TV’s ratings are quite low; at this stage, we need gimmicks to boost our visibility and ratings.
Buying existing rights and transforming them seems like the best choice, and there are successful domestic examples of this within variety shows.”
The manager of the creative department said.
“Have I ever asked you to make a name overnight?
I never have.
Slow and steady wins the race, but you always think about buying, and in the end, you’ve all become international compradors; what unique things can you produce?”
Xiao Chen said coldly, “I’m giving you one week to come up with three sets of proposals for shows that haven’t been done before.
They need to be novel and keep up with the times.
Don’t worry about funds or the cast; just bring the best ideas forward.
I’ll provide the funding, and I will invite the actors.
My only requirement is that your proposals must be unique, innovative, and high-quality!”
“Is that possible?”
“No problem!”
The creative department immediately made a military order, if they couldn’t produce, they would collectively take a pay cut.
“Very good, that’s the spirit I’m looking for.”
Xiao Chen smiled and then dismissed the meeting.
He didn’t care about making money, because he was too wealthy.
His current pursuit was to produce the best possible work to give back to the audience.
That was enough.
After dealing with Tianxing Media, Bai Yuning and others joined Zhu Entertainment.
Zhu Entertainment was a newly established company in Blue Sea, controlled by the Zhu Family.
This news instantly spread across the entire Blue Sea, and even the whole Dragon Country.
It must be said, the influence of Bai Yuning and her group was significant, as they were top celebrities, and it was not for nothing.
Some senior executives at Tianxing Media were quite angry when they heard this news.
These guys, they really dared to do so.
“I’m surprised, they actually dared to fire you, causing my plan to misfire.
But no worries, let’s switch to the second plan.”
They want to produce variety shows, right?
We’ll do the same thing.
They don’t have stars to support their shows, how can they compete with us?”
Zhu Shaoneng sneered, “I have also bought the rights for those three shows, and you will still be the ones to film them, no problem, right?”
“No problem, we’ll definitely do a good job, working overtime to launch these three variety shows first.
By the time their shows are released, they’ll be completely pointless.”
Bai Yuning sneered.
She was really holding a grudge against Tianxing Media for ending their contract with them.
“There’s more good news!”
Zhu Shaoneng sneered, “I’ve contacted the company in South Korea, offered them ten times the price, and they have canceled the rights granted to Tianxing Media.
But for now, don’t tell Tianxing Media.
In this way, Tianxing Media will effectively be infringing the rights, even amounting to plagiarism.
They’re doomed!”
“Is that possible?”
Bai Yuning was truly astonished.
She never knew such maneuvers were possible.
“Of course, it’s possible.
Soon, the South Korean side will issue a statement saying that they have exclusively licensed these three shows to us.”
Zhu Shaoneng sneered.
This guy might not be good at other things, but he was very skilled at scheming.
“Young Master Zhu, I just adore you, you’re truly like Zhuge Liang reincarnated!”
Bai Yuning leaned into Zhu Shaoneng’s arms, laughing heartily.
At the same time, Tianxing Media stopped promoting their original variety shows and began drafting a new strategy.
Of course, they were completely unaware of Zhu Shaoneng’s machinations.
It was entirely on Xiao Chen’s recommendation that they acted this way.
But to be honest, they had signed an exclusive authorization agreement with the South Korean company.
If Zhu Entertainment dared to produce the same variety shows, they could sue them.
This wasn’t something that could be changed just because people from the South Korean company took the money and misspoke.
This was protected by the laws of both countries.
The three sets of plans, which were supposed to take a week to finalize, were produced by the creative department in just three days.
Xiao Chen was initially a bit displeased, feeling that such a hastened job would be rough and merely to meet deadlines.
But when he saw the concepts for the shows, he was thoroughly impressed.
