Zhou Yongsheng certainly knew that Xia Fan was in Bangkok, Thailand, and the rumors on the Internet were completely unjust, but he allowed these words to spread on the Internet and did not take any rescue measures.
After Xia Fan came back from Thailand, it was easy to just check the whole story and find out who was behind it, who spoke for him and who kept silent.
"Mr. Zhou"
Xia Fan looked at the other party calmly and said slowly: "I think I am lucky. I have been in Thailand some time ago."
Zhou Yongsheng was stunned for a moment, obviously understanding what the other party said, and then he laughed dryly: "Xiao Xia has always kept a clean mind in the entertainment industry. I know it well, and there is nothing to be afraid of such rumors."
??
"Those rumors were so widespread at that time. If I were not in Bangkok, Thailand, and the company did not clarify it as soon as possible, my reputation would have suffered a lot now."
"Xiao Xia, I admit that I did underestimate those rumors and scandals at the time, and I didn't immediately" Zhou Yongsheng tried his best to explain something.
"Mr. Zhou, let's have a good time together!"
Xia Fan took a deep breath and replied firmly.
"What do you think?" Zhou Yongsheng suddenly felt something bad in his heart.
""China Partner" can be regarded as my last work in Times Entertainment. From now on, I will have nothing to do with the company!"
"But even if you finish filming this movie, you still have one year left in your contract with Times Entertainment."
Zhou Yongsheng obviously also knows the filming schedule of "Chinese Partners".
"When I was in a crisis of public opinion, the company did not take the initiative to help me clarify. I was the one who turned the situation around. Mr. Zhou, please admit this." Xia Fan stared at him and said.
"This" Zhou Yongsheng was speechless, silence represented acquiescence.
Of course he was aware of his little thoughts at that time, and he kept praying "He did it, he did it". Even if the other party "didn't do it", he still hoped that under the influence of those rumors, Xia Fan's reputation would be greatly reduced. .
¡°After all, for these realistic capitalists, it is best to destroy it if you can¡¯t get it. What¡¯s more, you don¡¯t need to do it yourself, just stay silent on the side, so why not do it.
However, with the evidence of Xia Fan's "perfect absence", a series of subsequent operations were carried out to turn the tide. Wu Qi's fanatical fans were so straightforward that they were speechless. The public opinion situation reversed so quickly that it completely fell below Zhou Yongsheng's. glasses.
"This guy's method of handling crisis public relations is simple and crude, and extremely efficient!"
This was Zhou Yongsheng¡¯s psychological evaluation of Xia Fan at that time, and he also understood that the possibility of the company keeping him was extremely slim.
Xia Fan looked at the embarrassed and troubled look on his boss's face, but he didn't take it seriously, and continued: "The company's doing this actually violated our original contract. After all, I signed A, not a newbie contract."
In addition to the S-signature, which allows artists to open independent studios, the highest contract type for entertainment companies is the A-signature, which is the right enjoyed by top artists.
Which artist who can get the A-sign is not the mainstay and cash cow of the company?
It is the existence of stars holding the moon.
The company naturally has the obligation and responsibility to clarify the artist's negative news as soon as possible and issue a stern warning to those who maliciously spread rumors.
Even if we take a step back and say that some first-line artists have really made mistakes, as far as the company is concerned, Yu Qingyuli will still stand beside the artists as soon as possible. If one day in the future, it is confirmed that they were slapped in the face, they will quietly withdraw the announcement at that time. .
Anyway, the anger of netizens is on the artists, and the company is just causing trouble, pretending to be dumb and keeping silent, and it will get over after a while.
¡°Aside from a few curses, the company also suffered no loss. There are too many precedents like this in the entertainment industry.
As for Xia Fan, Times Entertainment has not issued any clarification, not to mention that he is still innocent and was wrongly accused.
"Mr. Zhou, let's get together and part ways."
Xia Fan looked at the other party in silence and had no choice but to repeat it again.
"After all, if an artist of my level goes to court against his old employer, it will have a bad impact on both of us. Not to mention the effort and money, from the contract details, I have a high probability of winning the case. It is a waste of time, but For a predetermined result, it doesn¡¯t make any sense to Times Entertainment.¡±He analyzed the pros and cons.
Nearly seven years later, Xia Fan has matured a lot compared to the time when the old man had conflicts with his predecessor, and he also knows better how to master negotiation skills instead of just acting on emotion.
"Mr. Zhou, it's written in black and white. It's inevitable that public opinion will be on my side."
During the conversation, Xia Fan took out the contract document, and he had marked the keywords in red circles.
"You did not help me clarify the negative public opinion as stipulated in the contract. This is a sign A. If this matter becomes public, in the future, if Times Entertainment wants to sign new generation artists with potential, they will definitely think of what I have experienced. ah."
"This is not a good thing."
Xia Fan smiled slightly and said calmly.
"To take a step back, I use "Chinese Partners" as the closing drama in Times Entertainment. Everyone can get together and disperse easily. At least on the surface, we have done enough work to save face for each other. It will also be a good story when it is spread. You think it is No?"
Zhou Yongsheng took a deep breath and said seriously: "Xiao Xia, you are really amazing. This is the first time I admire you so much! Not only your business ability, but also your negotiation ability, it is indeed what you said. If we are destined to separate, The way you put it is the most honorable way.¡±
In just a short moment, he also demonstrated the decisive decision-making ability of an industry leader.
This should be the best way to stop losses.
What¡¯s more, using ¡°China Partner¡± as the finale between Xia Fan and Times Entertainment is also a good marketing gimmick.
The script of this movie is good, and its quality level is second to none among the movies invested by Times Entertainment in recent years. It should be a big hit at the box office.
¡¡
Xia Fan walked out of the Times Entertainment office building with a relaxed expression.
He knew that the next time he came back would be his official resignation, and the last contact between him and the company would be the upcoming filming of "Chinese Partners".
"This can be considered a decent separation."
Xia Fan has been in the entertainment industry for some years, and Xia Fan doesn¡¯t want to quarrel with his old employer unless he has to.
"To celebrate the happy ending of this contract and for everyone to get together and part ways, I will write a song specifically."
