The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot

Chapter 158: 154 Losing a Vest, Scaring a Person [2 Updates]

The video showed that in the midst of an extreme biking sport, Shang Yaozhi suddenly had convulsions and then fell to the ground.

At this time, the sky was not very bright, and since it was just after five in the morning, there were hardly any spectators.

Only the show’s crew and actors performing other extreme sports were around.

The other actors were too busy with their own performances to notice that Shang Yaozhi had fainted.

The viewers saw that for the entire eight minutes, none of the staff or accompanying medical team moved an inch, all while chatting and laughing.

Some fans wanted to rush over to help but were scolded by the program planner, telling them not to interfere with the filming.

It wasn’t until the ninth minute that the show’s crew realized something was wrong and hurried over.

But by then, the crucial four minutes for emergency rescue had already passed.

Even with the availability of an automated external defibrillator, it was too late to reverse the situation.

The show’s crew had never expected such an incident and was at a loss for quite some time before they finally called for an ambulance.

When the ambulance transported Shang Yaozhi to the hospital, it was already six thirty.

In the video, Shang Yaozhi lay on the ground, appearing weak and desperately wanting to survive, but no one around him lent a hand until he gradually stopped moving.

This scene made the viewers’ eyes redden with anger.

[Starry Entertainment, you’re so heartless!!! To treat even your Best Actor like this, I can hardly imagine the treatment of trainees and actors with no status in the company.]

[It’s fortunate there was a divine doctor and Best Actor Shang’s will was strong enough. Otherwise, he really could have been gone. Starry Entertainment, do you realize you’re murderers?]

[Don’t think that everything is fine just because Best Actor Shang woke up. A murderer is still a murderer, @West Wind Law Firm V, sue Starry Entertainment to the ground, and we’ll crowdfund for Best Actor Shang’s legal fees.]

The fans all knew how overbearing the contracts of Starry Entertainment were.

For every movie Shang Yaozhi made, Starry Entertainment would directly take ninety percent of his salary.

The remaining ten percent still had to support his own team, assistants, makeup artists… all of which Starry Entertainment didn’t provide for.

Ten years were almost like working for Starry Entertainment for free.

[Termination! My brother has finally waited for this day. We don’t need everyone to crowdfund, his fans have the funds.]

[As long as West Wind Law Firm can help Yaozhi terminate his contract with Starry Entertainment, legal fees are not an issue.]

[I truly cried seeing it, it’s unimaginable. Someone so desperate to live, yet you sever their hope, @Starry Entertainment V, murderers!]

The Real Person Escape show’s Weibo account was directly reported by fans until it was banned.

Watching the commotion online, Dong Yun was both shocked and furious, “How could West Wind Law Firm be involved in this matter?”

When she signed Shang Yaozhi, she had already thoroughly investigated his family background.

Shang Yaozhi’s father lost his right leg due to a factory accident when Shang was six years old and had been bedridden since.

And his mother suffered from severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, requiring high medical expenses.

This was why Dong Yun managed to keep a tight hold on Shang Yaozhi.

Under her control, Shang Yaozhi didn’t have any influential friends in the entertainment industry.

One could say he was utterly helpless.

The West Wind Law Firm was the designated law firm of the elite families in the capital, how could Shang Yaozhi afford their services?

“President Dong, we have no idea either,” the head of public relations said, sweating profusely. “The situation is extremely unfavorable for the company, and it’s impossible to control public opinion now.”

“Didn’t I tell you to drag Chuguang Media down with us?” Dong Yun was even more enraged. “Get the internet trolls to take action.”

The head of public relations wiped off his sweat and hurriedly left.

**

Chuguang Media, headquarters.

The Executive Director who had just video called Fu Yunshen high-fived someone, sneering, “Damn, they think they can mess with Chuchuan, as if they don’t know their own worth.”

Starry Entertainment had only risen to become a big company in recent years and couldn’t possibly compare with the well-established Chuchuan.

As for the powerful family backing Starry Entertainment?

The Executive Director scoffed.

Could they compare with their young master?

All the powerful families in the capital put together couldn’t match up to them.

After delegating the tasks to the public relations department, the Executive Director made another call, “Hey, young master, everything has been taken care of.”

“But young master, didn’t you say you wouldn’t help? Why then has West Wind Law Firm taken action?”

Upon hearing this, Fu Yunshen turned to look at the girl beside him and lazily replied, “It has nothing to do with me.”

“That’s true, you’ve never been one to kindly help,” the Executive Director said.

Fu Yunshen didn’t want to waste words, “Hanging up.”

Ying Zijin knew who he had been talking to and after thinking for two seconds said, “Should I sign him to Chuchuan?”

“Hm?” Fu Yunshen paused briefly, his peach-blossom eyes slightly hazy, “Go ahead, sign him. There are too many people in this world who have no control over their own fate; helping a little is still helping.”

After a pause, he nonchalantly added, “And it might make you some money.”

Ying Zijin propped up her head, “That’s true.”

Two birds with one stone.

She had looked over the contracts from Chuguang Media, which included four ranks from A to D.

An A Rank signing had the highest status, with the company only taking 15% of the artist’s earnings.

Beyond the operational costs of the company, it gave the greatest benefit to the artist.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Only a few veteran international Best Actors and Divas could secure an A Rank contract.

But Shang Yaozhi’s capabilities were even beyond those predecessors.

Ying Zijin lowered her head and sent a WeChat message to her female secretary.

[Prepare an A Rank contract.]

The secretary responded quickly.

[Okay, Executive Director, may I ask for whom?]

[Shang Yaozhi.]

As soon as these three words were sent, the secretary went crazy.

[Ahhh, Boss, for real? Are you going to sign Best Actor Shang over? Whaaa, boss, you’re too kind, there’s hope for my son! Wonderful, I’ll get ready right away.]

Ying Zijin: “…”

Well.

She now understood that Xiu Yu’s comment about eighty percent of Shang Yaozhi’s fans being “mom fans” was no exaggeration.

As a mom fan herself, the secretary’s actions were faster than ever.

No sooner had the A Rank contract been prepared than the public relations department took action as well.

[@ChuguangMediaV: The severance fee from Chuchuan has been paid, welcome @ShangYaozhiV to join us at Chuchuan. Our boss has said it, the highest treatment, and additionally, for the rumors about our company, please accept this lawyer’s letter from Star Entertainment.]

The fans were now doubly blessed, and even more excited.

[Oh my god, my brother was personally invited by Chuchuan, and it’s the boss speaking directly, isn’t that a first in the entertainment industry?]

[Brother, go to Chuchuan! Chuchuan has integrity, and you love acting. Once at Chuchuan, you could go international!]

[I’m dying of laughter. Chuchuan has personally stepped in to debunk rumors and slap faces. Star Entertainment, how do you plan to whitewash now?]

In response, Starry Entertainment began another round of playing dead.

Shang Yaozhi was the cash cow of Starry Entertainment, and Dong Yun definitely did not want to let him go.

But under the joint pressure from West Wind Law Firm and Chuguang Media, even with capital backing them, Star Entertainment couldn’t hold out.

However, two days later, she received notification of Chuguang Media’s acquisition of Starry Entertainment.

This forced Dong Yun to personally visit Chuguang Media.

Her destination was the Shanghai Branch of Chuchuan.

The moment Dong Yun entered the building, she felt the disdainful glances from the people around her.

She subconsciously wrapped her shawl tighter and, with her head down, hurriedly took the elevator upstairs.

Starry Entertainment was her life’s work; she absolutely couldn’t let Chuchuan take it over.

In the entertainment business, what mattered were profits.

As long as she provided enough benefits, Chuchuan wouldn’t bother destroying Star Entertainment over a single Golden Flower Award Best Actor.

With this thought, Dong Yun became a bit more composed.

She pushed open the door to the General Manager’s office and walked in.

In the room, the girl leaned against the desk.

She appeared languid and didn’t look up at Dong Yun, preoccupied with her phone.

Dong Yun frowned.

She naturally recognized this girl as the one Shang Yaozhi had met at Hengdian Film and Television City last time.

“What are you doing here?” Dong Yun crossed her arms, looking down from her high position, “Where’s your boss?”

Ying Zijin, still without a glance at her, responded with three indifferent words, “Standing, waiting.”

“What a joke,” Dong Yun laughed as if she had heard something amusing, “I’m here to talk with the boss of Chuchuan, you?”

She scoffed, “Do you think because you signed with Chuchuan, you can make decisions on behalf of your boss?”

Dong Yun detested the type of actresses who climbed the ladder by hooking up with wealthy sponsors, even though such things were not uncommon in Star Entertainment.

Without talent, relying solely on their appearance to secure more resources than others – utterly despicable.

“I was wondering, even though I was beside him, why Yaozhi still stopped to talk to you,” Dong Yun spoke sarcastically, “Turns out you have used your beauty, well, with your looks, indeed no one in the entertainment industry could match up to you.”

Having run an entertainment company for over a decade, Dong Yun had seen many beauties, both domestic and international.

Yet none could compare to the beauty of the girl before her, stunning enough to make one’s heart tremble.

Just as Dong Yun was about to say more, there was a knock on the door.

Ying Zijin raised her head, still not giving Dong Yun a glance, “Come in.”

The person who entered was the female secretary, holding a document in her hand, which she then placed on the table.

With a respectful bow, the secretary said, “Executive Director, the contract for the acquisition of Star Entertainment is ready for your review.”
