Chapter 37 — Qian Nian
Part 2
After that, Chu Feng took a few foreign jobs and spent very little time in China. He also thought about returning to China and talking to his mother to see if he could get Qian Nian to their own company. But unexpectedly, before he could return to China, Qian Nian bid farewell to the world by committing suicide. There was only one line of suicide note was left, it said: I am gay, but I have not forced anyone.
It was also because of this suicide note, which had set off big waves on the Internet. Some tech geeks started digging up that agent and found that the person had long since run away to a foreign country, but some chat records, bank deposits were still dug up. All kinds of evidence show that Qiannian was innocent. The agent himself was gay, and his boyfriend was another male actor in the circle who had been competing with Qian Nian for status. The two people teamed up to take advantage of Qian Nian. After Qian Nian's downfall, the male actor took advantage of Qian Nian's resources, and the agent also became the male actor's agent.
Later, a male actor went abroad to develop, and the agent also went with him. What was even more disgusting was that the technical geeks also found out that there was also the support of a rich businessman in the middle. The rich businessman wanted to support Qian Nian, but Qian Nian refused. The rich businessman felt humiliated, so he joined forces with the male actor and Qian Nian's agent to set out the whole thing. Afterward, the rich businessman also put pressure everywhere to prevent the crew from helping Qian Nian. Originally, the rich businessman thought that Qian Nian had no financial ability and would definitely agree to be supported, by that time, he would let him take care of him. As a result, even in the most difficult time, Qian Nian did not follow on the path of being supported and finally ended his life.
After that, the people who framed Qian Nian were abused on the Internet, some artists stood up to defend Qiannian, and collective memorials on the Internet appeared... it followed one after another, but the person was already dead, what was the use of it?
Chu Feng attended Qian Nian's funeral. Qian Nian was already thin and out of shape, but in Chu Feng's eyes, this was his innocent friend, who was also his teacher. To be honest, he had very few sincere friends in the circle, Qian Nian was one of these very few friends.
After his rebirth, he had been concerned about Rong Xun and forgot about Qian Nian's matter. But since he had a rebirth, and God gave him the opportunity, he wouldn't stand idly on the sidelines.
“I also think he is good.” Chu Feng said, “But I think that company he signed is not very good.”
“What's not good?” As soon as Chu Tang entered the door, he heard Chu Feng talking about a company he signed that was not good.
“Dad?” Chu Feng was surprised at how his parent came back without saying anything in advance.
“En, what are you watching?” Chu Tang put the suitcase aside and walked into the living room and asked. He wasn't a father who wouldn't allow his children to watch TV, on the contrary, he felt that his children watching the TV, would have an understanding of today's society.
“Mom went to attend the awards ceremony, and I am watching it with Rong Xun for a while.” After speaking, Chu Feng introduced him to his father, “This is Rong Xun.”
Rong Xun had already stood up with Chu Feng. Chu Feng's father gave him the first impression of somewhat stern, but listening to the tone of his voice, it seemed okay.
Chu Tang had already heard Rong Xun’s story about Rong Xun and agreed with Song Xin’s actions, so he said to Rong Xun, “I'm Chu Feng’s father, and you are welcome to come home any time. His mother and I usually spend less time at home. Don’t be polite, just treat it as your own home.”
“Thank you, Uncle.” Rong Xun nodded his head. At least for now, he felt that Chu Feng's father wasn't a difficult person to get along with.
Chu Tang put his coat on the sofa, and then sat down with them to watch the awards ceremony— after all, his wife was there, even if he couldn't accompany her in person, he had to support her at home.
Chu Feng poured a cup of tea for his father and then continued to eat fruit with Rong Xun on the sofa.
Chu Tang didn't care about the fact that two people were covered with a blanket, because in winter, Chu Rou would nest like this with Song Xin, saying it was warm. Chu Tang was used to it, so even if it changed people, he didn't feel any awkwardness.
“By the way, what did you just say about the company not being good?” Chu Feng asked as he sipped the hot tea his son poured for him.
Chu Feng felt that this was an opportunity, so he said, “The Most Potential Award was awarded to Qian Nian just now. Both Rong Xun and I think his acting skills are very good. However, I heard that his company isn't very good and has insufficient resources. The ability of public relations is also very weak. If Qian Nian can change his company to another, such as Xingyi, his future will be boundless.”
Xingyi Entertainment was exactly their family's company.
Chu Tang raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “You know that entertainment company well. ”
“I don't know much. Qian Nian is now very popular, and many girls at school like him. I occasionally hear them gossip between classes, so I know something.” Chu Feng found a reason.
Chu Tang nodded and said, “This Qian Nian is indeed good. Your mother also mentioned him to me, but his contract has not expired yet, it's a bit troublesome.”
“It's just a matter of liquidated damages. Although I don't know much about our own company, this money shouldn't be a big price for Xingyi. Qian Nian is not a movie emperor yet, and it is not difficult for Xingyi to dig him. With Qian Nian's strength, being a movie emperor is only a matter of time. If Xingyi wants to wait until that time to dig him up, I am afraid that Xingyi will have a problem paying a penalty for breach of contract.” Chu Feng analyzed.
Qian Nian was just a popular artist now, and the company wouldn't prevent him from leaving. But if Qian Nian became an actor, then it would different. The company would definitely re-sign the contract with Qian Nian under the pretext of increasing resources, and the liquidated damages would definitely be a sky-high figure in the world.
Chu Tang was considering it seriously.
Chu Feng added fuel to the fire and said, “With Xingyi's strength, the most indispensable thing is resources, but what is lacking is artists who can maximize the benefits of these resources. There are not many top artists in Xingyi, but everyone's workload is always limited. If you think Qian Nian can be cultivated, it is best to dig him over before things went bad. If he becomes an actor in the future, it will be Xingyi who will benefit. At that time, it is only a matter of time before the liquidated damages you invested will be recovered. Qian Nian won the most potential award this time, if his company is smart, they will find a reason to re-sign a contract or supplementary agreement, it's good to dig him up before he signs it. The penalty for breach of contract will also be less. ”
Chu Tang looked at Chu Feng, with some surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect Chu Feng would think so far.
Chu Feng laughed and said, ”Don't look at me like that, Dad. This is just my personal opinion, and I really appreciate Qian Nian, so I recommended him to you. If there is something wrong, you should just take it as something you casually listened to.”
“I will think about it.” Chu Tang said. He must consider more things than Chu Feng. Chu Feng was right about one thing, that was, it was the most cost-effective to dig Qian Nian over now. In this circle, it was a general law that good birds choose Jiamu to live. Chu Tang knew more than Chu Feng about Qian Nian's current company and knew that most entertainment companies had a ‘waiting and see’ attitude. If Xingyi took the initiative to strike now, the risk was indeed greater, but it was also the best time.
Chu Feng was not sure how much he had convinced his father. If didn't work this time, he would have to wait for another chance.
The Best Actress award was announced and Song Xin once again took the trophy.
Chu Tang showed a smile, got up and took his coat, and said, “You two get some rest early.” After saying that, he went out the door.
“Where is uncle going?” Rong Xun asked in disbelief.
“Going to pick up my mom.” Chu Feng smiled and said, “Let's go, go upstairs and answer the questions.”
“Okay.” Rong Xun responded, turned off the TV, and went upstairs with Chu Feng.
