Chapter 212 New Year's Eve, Complaint

Chen Jingyuan and Reba, having not seen each other for a long time, naturally had a tender moment until they were both exhausted.

Even so, they still snuggled together, enjoying a moment of peace.

Dilraba, like a vulnerable kitten, let down all her guard in front of Chen Jingyuan.

Over the past year, Dilraba's popularity has been even higher than the original timeline.

The itinerary was naturally much longer than before, and Jiaxing really wouldn't miss any opportunity to make money.

Moreover, with the completion of the performance-based agreement, Yang Mi should be considered to be at the peak of her life at this moment.

"Baba, has Yang Mi been happier lately?!"

Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but ask, his words tinged with curiosity.

"Miss seems to be in a pretty good mood lately."

Dilraba thought for a moment and then spoke up.

She's not stupid; she naturally understood that Chen Jingyuan was implying something.

Although the performance-based contract has little to do with Dilraba, I still hope that Sister Honey can succeed.

Following the signing of the performance-based agreement, Yang Mi's net worth skyrocketed.

It has reached at least the double digits level, although part of it is equity, the cash part of real estate is also not bad.

Yang Mi has more than 20 endorsements, including many top-tier ones.

According to the Forbes list, his annual income exceeds 2 million, which is a substantial cash flow.

Chen Jingyuan wasn't surprised by Yang Mi's success, but this year was also a year of decline for Jiaxing Media.

When Jiaxing is delisted from the New Third Board in May, its valuation will drop by more than one billion yuan.

The main reason is that the authorities have strengthened their supervision of the cultural and entertainment sector.

Ultimately, the root cause is still the previous wave of IPO frenzy. The behavior of cashing out and leaving is too egregious.

Especially after the exposure of dual contracts, doubts have been raised about the profitability of the entertainment industry.

Yang Mi's happiness probably won't last long.

Talking about Yang Mi was just a side note; before we knew it, evening had arrived.

The two had a simple reunion dinner and then watched the Spring Festival Gala.

"I was invited to the Spring Festival Gala this year, but unfortunately my schedule was too full, so I declined."

Dilraba's eyes revealed a hint of regret as she spoke.

Although the Spring Festival Gala is getting worse every year, its viewership ratings are still guaranteed in the north.

For many celebrities, this is also a very important opportunity.

Many celebrities gained overnight fame through the Spring Festival Gala, significantly increasing their popularity among the general public.

When the film and television industry experiences a downturn, the opportunity to appear on the Spring Festival Gala becomes even more important.

For many celebrities, these include galas on various TV stations.

"Maybe we can consider it next year's Spring Festival Gala."

Chen Jingyuan comforted her, saying that he remembered Dilraba's first appearance on the Spring Festival Gala was around 19.

It will be exactly next year!

Just as Chen Jingyuan and Dilraba were enjoying a rare family reunion dinner.

The crew of "Better Days"

Because it's Lunar New Year's Eve, there aren't many filming tasks today.

After the morning session ended, the entire crew was given a day off in the afternoon, allowing everyone to do as they pleased.

Bai Lu, Tian Xiwei, Chen Keke, and the others naturally went together.

Despite being very close to her home, Tian Xiwei had no intention of going home.

We chose to share both joy and sorrow!

"Xiaotian, you really are my best sister."

Chen Keke couldn't help but hug Tian Xiwei and say something.

However, Chen Keke was unaware that when she and her mother returned to their hometown two days prior...

Tian Xiwei's parents had just arrived and even told her to act well.

No need to go back for Chinese New Year!

Mr. and Mrs. Tian were well aware of how much Lan Ke Entertainment Company took care of Tian Xiwei.

Being able to join Lanco Entertainment is nothing short of lucky.

It's a pity that Sister Liu happened to be back in her hometown, otherwise we would definitely have had a lot to talk about if we had run into each other.

Of course, there will be opportunities to meet again in the future!

Bai Lu had no intention of revealing the truth, after all, as long as Chen Keke was happy.

The group strolled around the film set area for a bit, without going too far.

It was supposed to be a happy day, but then my assistant reported something.

This immediately made Chen Keke and the others quite unhappy!

It turns out that Tian Xiwei was being dragged down by Zhong Chuxi.

Zhong Chuxi recently played the second female lead in the film "Youth," and rose to fame as a "Feng Girl."

"Youth" has grossed over 14 billion yuan and received a lot of positive reviews.

The problem is that although Zhong Chuxi has become famous, the current ecosystem for actresses born in the 90s is not very good.

After some thought, the team decided to directly compare them with Tian Xiwei, who had just become famous last year.

Tian Xiwei rose to fame last year with a campus youth drama, and later gained a lot of popularity with audiences in "Escape Room".

This kind of opponent is just right!

Although Tian Xiwei is backed by Lanco Entertainment, Zhong Chuxi is backed by Huayi.

Not afraid at all!

As a result, a lot more press releases comparing and belittling people appeared on Chinese New Year's Day.

It's roughly the case that Zhong Chuxi is ranked above Xiao Tian among the new generation of actresses.

The claim that Tian Xiwei is more of a movie star than a web series star is essentially a smear campaign against her.

"Where did this Zhong Chuxi come from?"

"Xiaotian didn't provoke her, yet he's causing trouble like this."

"This is absolutely outrageous; they're clearly just trying to make things difficult for us."

.....

Chen Keke and the others all spoke up for Tian Xiwei, and Tian Xiwei herself was naturally quite angry.

This was clearly intentional!

However, they couldn't directly retaliate by criticizing the other party, since they didn't know who released the press release.

If Zhong Chuxi doesn't admit it, there's nothing they can do, and they might even be falsely accused.

"We'll also release some press releases!"

"She's just a supporting actress, so what if she's a movie star?"

"It's only because Xiaotian's movie hasn't been released yet, otherwise she wouldn't have the right to be so arrogant."

.....

Chen Keke's final thought was to retaliate by putting others down.

This method isn't really that good, since the mutual back-scratching is, to some extent, influenced by Zhong Chuxi's ideas.

Zhong Chuxi became famous later than Tian Xiwei, and now she only has about two or three million followers on Weibo.

On the contrary, Tian Xiwei has already accumulated enough fans to become a rising star, with six million followers.

For Zhong Chuxi, engaging in mutual attacks with Tian Xiwei might be more beneficial for her.

Bai Lu explained the pros and cons of this method, which instantly made Chen Keke feel a little discouraged.

Actually, Zhong Chuxi was also a student at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, but she was several years older than Chen Keke and others.

The fact that the senior student was putting down the junior student is still quite poignant.

The problem is that it's all about profit; competition between students from the same school is actually quite normal in the entertainment industry.

After all, many resources may be known to students in the same class, and that's how competition arises.

Furthermore, being in the same school and the same class can easily make them objects of comparison.

Some people become incredibly famous, while others remain unknown!

This disparity is quite harsh for classmates.

It's normal for some people to lose their composure and engage in comparisons and criticisms.

"Otherwise, I'll tell my brother about this."

"Let the older brother handle this; we must give Xiaotian a piece of our mind."

Chen Keke finally made a suggestion, which Bai Lu agreed with.

As for Tian Xiwei, it goes without saying that she still has a superstitious belief in Brother Chen.

I felt that Brother Chen would definitely be able to help me get revenge.

Soon after, Chen Keke called Chen Jingyuan directly to complain.

Chen Jingyuan, on the other end of the phone, had initially thought the New Year's Eve call was to say hello, but it turned out he had been overthinking it.

Fortunately, after hearing the whole story, Chen Jingyuan frowned slightly.

"Oda, this matter won't end like this."

Chen Jingyuan's words were quite powerful, making people unable to help but believe them.

"Thank you, Brother Chen!"

Tian Xiwei smiled slightly as she spoke, but only Chen Keke and the others could see the smile.
