The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 62 - 61. Isnt that a bit arrogant

Chapter 62: 61. Isn’t that a bit arrogant?

Chapter 62: 61. Isn’t that a bit arrogant?

Luo Lin had indeed been in an exceptionally good mood lately.

Not only because Tang Shu’s fan base was showing signs of rapidly approaching three million, but also because the incident had taught Mu Ziwei and Wang Zheng a harsh lesson.

If it were in her own words, it would be——

“That feeling of relief, wickedly satisfying!”

As the online views for Journey Together skyrocketed, public opinion on Director Xie’s movie continued to ferment.

According to insider information secretly shared by her friend in the industry, Mu Ziwei was not having an easy time.

She had not only lost four luxury endorsement deals, but her fan base was also declining rapidly, resulting in a more or less negative impact on her resources.

“Moreover, it seems like Mu Ziwei has gotten herself involved in a lawsuit, and the court hearing is in a few days!”

At a dinner party, a friend mentioned as much.

At the time, Luo Lin was stunned and choked on her drink a few times.

“What? Even if she’s affected, she’s still a leading actress. How did she get tangled up in a lawsuit?”

Her friend had an indescribable expression. “She threw the company’s endorsed product in front of their photographer.”

“…” Oh no, she committed such a rookie mistake.

Probably got too famous recently and lost touch with reality.

Luo Lin casually wiped the orange juice residue from the corner of her mouth with a tissue, her heart blooming with joy.

“Such matters wouldn’t typically go to court, right? Blowing it up isn’t good for either party. The endorsing company and Mu Ziwei’s agency would both suffer reputational damage. Haven’t they considered settling?”

According to industry norms, such matters are usually played down.

Throwing an endorsed product isn’t a big deal if it doesn’t get out. It can all be resolved quietly.

Hearing this, her friend looked even more unsatisfied with a strange expression.

“Apparently, the endorsing company did want to settle, accepting an apology. They had already contacted another leading actress in private, but Mu Ziwei’s agent didn’t want to readily give up the resources and caused quite the stir.”

“Like what?”

“Like pressuring the company and also finding the actress who was going to replace Mu Ziwei.”

“…”

Isn’t that a bit too arrogant?

“So, did they apologize in the end?”

“No, Wang Zheng has been taking Mu Ziwei to quite a few banquets, and there’s still no resolution to this matter.”

Luo Lin instantly understood what her friend’s expression meant.

“Wang Zheng has become arrogant; they should have apologized right away.”

In a villa in the Imperial Capital, the familiar sound of crashing cups could be heard once again.

“What do we do now? That Tang Shu has even managed to turn things around!”

Clad in a sultry red dress and with exquisite makeup, Mu Ziwei knocked a few cups and plates from the coffee table onto the floor.

As the glass met the tiled floor, it shattered into fragments with a crisp collision.

She had just returned from a dinner intended to salvage one of the luxury endorsements.

However, things did not go as she wished, as evidenced by the way she was throwing things around; the meal was anything but smooth.

In the middle of the living room, her manager Wang Zheng had a complicated expression, his stubbled chin unkempt, and dark circles evident under his eyes.

“I didn’t expect…”

He had used his connections in the industry to arrange a meeting with upper management from two luxury companies today, thinking they would be reasonable considering past relations, but…

Recalling the words of rejection he had heard in the private room, his complexion grew even more gloomily overcast.

In recent days, in order to stabilize the situation, he truly had exerted quite a bit of energy.

“You didn’t expect it?! This whole affair was your idea from start to finish, you were the one who said we must teach her a lesson, but now what?!”

The one who ended up being taught a lesson, was her!

Mu Ziwei was so infuriated, she only stopped after throwing several objects in succession.

Wang Zheng’s eyes locked on the fragments on the floor, a sinister coldness flickered in his aqua-hued gaze.

“Fine, I didn’t consider everything thoroughly this time, consider it their lucky break, I’ll get your resources back for you.”

As a veteran agent of the company, Wang Zheng still had a voice with the higher-ups.

Even if he were in decline, he would never be at the mercy of a star whom he had single-handedly created.

“You…”

Mu Ziwei wanted to retort, but upon facing his fierce eyes, she involuntarily shrank back reflexively.

Her agent was by no means a simple character.

Mu Ziwei’s rapid rise to her current position since entering the field was very much thanks to Wang Zheng’s various machinations.

And she was well aware of it.

“Then… I’ll leave it to you, Brother Wang.”

Wang Zheng, impatiently getting to his feet, didn’t forget to give her a couple of reminders as he left the villa.

“What you need to concern yourself with right now is to think carefully about what to say in court in a few days. Even if we have to fight this lawsuit, we need to take the initiative.”

“I know.”

Mu Ziwei sank irritably onto the couch, having no choice but to leave things in the hands of her agent.

However, what she didn’t know was that Wang Zheng, as an ace agent, had caused such a significant blunder in his field of expertise, and it had already resulted in strong dissatisfaction among the company’s upper echelons.

Getting back those lost resources was not going to be easy.

After all, he wasn’t the only agent in the company, was he?

At this very moment, not only was Mu Ziwei in a state of extreme agitation, but many young leading actresses within the industry also couldn’t help but sigh in commiseration.

“Lucky we didn’t join the bandwagon to kick her when the public sentiment was high. This Tang Shu really has a wicked edge!”

An obscure eighteen-tier newcomer managed to fight a stunning reversal battle under such unfavorable public opinion, a perfect exemplar of a counterattack.

The plot twists and turns left not only the netizens stunned, but many stars within the industry as well.

“Is Tang Shu really from a newly registered entertainment company? Their PR team is formidable!”

“Indeed it’s a small company, but her agent, Luo Lin, has some standing in the industry.”

Remarked the agent of the young leading actress.

“Luo Lin—why have I never heard this name before, is there such a person in the circle?”

“You joined the industry too late; naturally, you have not heard of her. Luo Lin made a Best Actress ten years ago. You know her—she’s Feng Yan, who is now working overseas.”

“What?! It’s the senior Feng Yan!”

The young actress was suddenly astounded; that was a legendary figure. Not yet thirty-five years old, she had participated in many big projects abroad, virtually becoming the spokesperson for domestic stars.

“But senior Feng Yan’s agent now is a man, not her, right?”

“Rumor has it, Luo Lin left the industry ten years ago due to family reasons. Those in the know are the old-timers, and even I heard it from a friend.”

Hearing her agent say so, Xiao Hua felt a mixture of emotions.

“Tang Shu was discovered by Director Xie without even auditioning. If she doesn’t have a powerful backer, then it must be due to her agent’s wide network.”
