Chapter 166 - Johnny Works For The Best (1/2)
------In Feng Entertainment-------
”President, bad news! We lost two more endorsements this week! We are being sued by them for breaking the contract.”
”What!? He did it again!!”
Feng Gong, the president of Feng Entertainment, slammed his black pen over the papers presented before him.
The Feng family might be filthy rich in the eyes of most of the ordinary folks, but ultimately they were just affluent in the entertainment world, nothing more.
Feng Gong, who had spent in the past 30 years in the field, was used to its various ups and downs, but today, he was annoyed to extend where he raised his razor edged voice: ”That useless sh*t!”
Song Liang was getting in trouble no matter where he went. For the past two years, he was acting uncontrollably arrogant towards everyone. These days he was getting more and more troublesome.
'Why the hell did I took him in the first place?!'
Kneading his temples, Feng Gong gave his orders the person in his office after losing all hope: ”Cancel his contract and tell him that the date is up. What's the use of keeping him around when he creates nothing but problems for us? Also, find someone to take care of him in the hospital. The netizens will criticize us if we abandon him after breaking the contract.”
”Yes, President. I will deal with him, but what about his endorsement deals? Changing Song Liang will cost us more in breakage fees. Those endorsement companies booked Song Liang due to his popularity.”
”Huh! What if we substitute him with the international star, Johnny? Then those agencies will shut their mouth with complete satisfaction. Right? So concentrate on getting the contract signed.”
Gulping down his words, Director Si explained: ”President, I talked with Johnny. He is demanding double endorsement fees for every deal. Not only that, but I also found out that he was interested in Xiao Action Entertainment's offer as it is more generous than ours.”
”What?! XAE!”
With hesitation in his voice, his secretary revealed: ”Even... some of our artists were invited by XAE with a high salary package. We lost some endorsements deal too.”
A loud bang echoed throughout the room…
Feng Gong slammed his hands on the table; he was furious…
Just because they were from XAE didn't mean that they should neglect all the rules. How dare they poach his artists behind his back and steal his deals?!?
Shameless!!!
”Don't let any of our artist portfolios go into Xiao's hand. Understood?”
”Yes, President.”
”Send me Johnny's contact details.”
Not wasting a second…Feng Gong personally made a phone call to Johnny.
----At the same time--
At a certain high-class apartment:
A man was dressed in a black suit and he was refreshingly handsome. He refused to look at anyone seriously – in fact, his look was uncaring and lazy.
Johnny or Qiáng Ní continued to stare at himself in the mirror as he adjusted his suit. His calmness contrasted greatly to Manager Ying.
”I created the rumors that Xiao Entertainment was poaching artists, but there has been no reaction from Presiden Xiao.”
”Relax, Ying! We will get it.” The younger man's lips curved into a smirk.
Ring--Ring---
Johnny looked at the number and scoffed: ”You answer.”
Knitting his brows, Manager Ying picked the call set it in loudspeaker: ”President Feng. ...It's Manager Ying.”
”Mr. Ying, I'm very sorry. The double endorsement fees previously requested were really just too outrageous. However, considering Johnny's high influence among the youngsters we decided to accept the deal. Please let us know when to expect you so that we can sign the contract.”
