Chapter 353 Da Mimi: It Turns Out It’s so Nice to Have Someone to Protect You.
The crew of "Breakup Guru"
After interacting with the fans who visited the set, Da Mimi put on sunglasses and asked her agent Zeng Jia as soon as she got into her nanny car.
"What's going on? Is there any new news?"
"How can it be so fast? Didn't this just break out?"
Zeng Jia shook her head. Compared with Da Mimi's excitement, she was in a complicated mood at this time.
Many people regarded Zeng Jia as Da Mimi's subordinate, and even believed that Da Mimi was the real boss of [Jiaxing Media] founded by Da Mimi and others, and Zeng Jia, the major shareholder, was just holding shares on behalf of her.
Otherwise, it is impossible to understand why Da Mimi worked so hard.
She is the core + pillar of the company. Everything in Jiaxing in the early stage was created by her, but she is a small shareholder. It doesn't make sense.
It was not until later that Da Mimi was eliminated from Jiaxing that everyone really realized that she was not the real boss.
In other words, at the beginning, Da Mimi was considered the boss, or at least the founder with a lot of say, but later at a certain stage, especially with the rise of Dilraba, Da Mimi's role was no longer indispensable, so she began to be marginalized and finally kicked out.
It is difficult for outsiders to know how the two sides cooperated and split before.
But it must be pointed out that Zeng Jia is not as simple as the outside world understands.
She is not the kind of small agent who depends on the stars. On the contrary, in the early and middle stages of Da Mimi's development, Zeng Jia was the one who took the lead.
In 2000, Zeng Jia joined Rong Xinda and studied under the boss Li Xiaowan. Later, she became a senior agent of the company and led Gui Yalei, Zhou Gongzi, and Chen Kun.
You know, Zhou Gongzi was already one of the four major actresses at that time, and Chen Kun was the number one and popular actor of Rong Xinda. Zeng Jia's status can be imagined.
So when Da Mimi first joined Rong Xinda, she had some intention of clinging to Zeng Jia.
Later, with the support of Zeng Jia, Da Mimi became famous and became one of the new four little flowers. Even when she terminated her contract with Rong Xinda, stood up Tangren, and signed with Meiya, Zeng Jia also pushed her behind the scenes.
Da Mimi left Rong Xinda, and Zeng Jia chose to advance and retreat together. At that time, Zeng Jia also transformed herself and became the agent director of Meiya, whose agent business was not well developed.
But soon after arriving at Meiya, Da Mimi and Zeng Jia realized that they were cheated. The so-called movie contract was just that.
The popularity of "Palace Lock Heart Jade" made Da Mimi a top star in the mainland. The change in identity made the two people realize that they had taken the wrong path. Meiya not only did not increase much help, but became a "drag".
So at that time, Da Mimi and Zeng Jia had the idea of changing jobs. Their first target was of course Huanrui, which was deeply involved.
Zeng Jia only stayed in Meiya for one year, and then directly jumped to Huanrui and became the agent director of Huanrui Artists.
Later, Zeng Jia, as an important senior executive, got shares of Huanrui. All kinds of cooperation between Da Mimi and Huanrui, and even the investment, also had Zeng Jia's shadow behind them.
If nothing unexpected happened, Da Mimi should have signed a contract with Huanrui under the name of the studio under Zeng Jia's matchmaking, just like in her previous life.
After accumulating strength, and for various reasons, she chose to start her own business with Zeng Jia and others.
But now there is an accident, that is, the appearance of Wei Yang and Blue Whale.
After Wei Yang and Da Mimi got to know each other, Da Mimi witnessed Wei Yang's rise with her own eyes, and missed many opportunities to join Wei Yang.
When Da Mimi left Rong Xinda, she hesitated for a while whether to join Blue Whale. Later, she was moved by the film contract and chose Meiya.
Then I saw Blue Whale jump from an unknown grass-roots team to the mainstay of the Shanghai circle, and Wei Yang grew into a big boss in the industry.
How could her good sister Liu Shishi rely on Wei Yang's resources to suppress her? Even Tang Yan has developed smoothly and become popular because of Wei Yang.
Especially the latter, which has a profound impact on Da Mimi, causing Da Mimi to have a key change in her attitude towards Wei Yang's career and feelings.
From that time on, although Da Mimi is still using Huanrui's resources, her heart has already completely leaned towards Wei Yang.
So when Wei Yang really threw an olive branch, Da Mimi did not hesitate and chose Coral Entertainment.
She didn't want to regret it like she did back then!
Da Mimi's decisiveness actually made Zeng Jia very passive. The two were very tied at this time, and Da Mimi was also Zeng Jia's biggest trump card.
It's not that she didn't persuade Da Mimi, but the last failure of Meiya and some personal selfishness made Da Mimi, who always obeyed her, choose to stick to her own opinion.
So this time, it was Zeng Jia's turn to make a choice.
The first choice was to give up Da Mimi, who had been cultivated for many years, and continue to work at Huanrui.
Although Zeng Jia is also a veteran agent, she has no ace artist. It is still unknown whether she can hold this position in the face of fierce competition from Huanrui.
You know, Huanrui's internal agents include not only the veteran vice president Jiang Sanshi, but also the artist agent director Jia Shikai of Tangren who has close contacts with Huanrui and seems to have the intention of switching jobs. Without Da Mimi, she really has few advantages.
The second choice is to give up Huanrui's shares and positions and switch to Wei Yang with Da Mimi.
There is no doubt that this choice will make Zeng Jia lose all the preparations in Huanrui.
Moreover, with the relationship between Da Mimi and Wei Yang, the status between her and Da Mimi will also change.
If in Huanrui, Da Mimi will rely on Zeng Jia to match, and both companies cannot avoid her. Between Zeng and Mimi, she is the dominant person.
In Coral Entertainment, Da Mimi can talk directly with Wei Yang and Yang Tianzhen, while she, as an agent, can't intervene, and Da Mimi becomes the leader.
But the good thing is that Da Mimi signed a contract with Coral Entertainment as a studio, and Zeng Jia and Da Mimi are still one.
This trump card is still in her hand, and there may be other developments in the future. At least compared to Yang Tianzhen, Da Mimi definitely trusts her more.
Even if it is Wei Yang, she can compete with him to some extent.
Don't forget that Wei Yang has more than just Da Mimi as a popular female star. Wei Yang's support for her is limited, and Zeng Jia and Da Mimi's interests are consistent, so sometimes Da Mimi still trusts and relies on her the most.
If Da Mimi is given up, it is hard to say whether another artist as popular and valuable as Da Mimi can be cultivated in the future, or the possibility is very low.
Zeng Jia hesitated for many days, but finally couldn't bear to give up Da Mimi, and made the second choice, leaving Huanrui and joining Coral with Da Mimi.
Although she made the choice, Zeng Jia was not happy about it. After all, it was half forced. She even had some dark thoughts.
Da Mimi had a setback at Shanhu and gave up on Wei Yang.
Then she would come out to turn the tide, regroup with Da Mimi, gain Da Mimi's trust, and regain the dominance between the two.
So when Blue Whale and Huanrui started a war of words over Da Mimi, Zeng Jia was watching the joke.
She even hoped that Wei Yang would be a little bit timid, so that Da Mimi would suffer a little, and then feel disappointed and even disappointed.
Unexpectedly, Blue Whale and Wei Yang responded very fiercely, and even directly fought with Huanrui.
Although there are Lin Gengxin and other elements in this, this attitude was brought out, directly picking Da Mimi out, and the two sides openly confronted each other.
From this moment on, Zeng Jia knew that she was going to suffer!
If it were other artists, they might not feel deeply, or even have no feelings, and think that it is natural for the company to stand up for them.
But Da Mimi has suffered this loss.
Thinking back to when she backstabbed Tangren, she was beaten up by Tangren. At that time, neither Rong Xinda, which was deeply involved, nor Meiya, the new owner, took any clear measures. She was the only one who took the blame.
That is, the dead girl publicly stood up for her and spoke for her because of the conflict with Tangren.
This incident left a deep psychological shadow on Da Mimi.
This time, she also backstabbed Huanrui and was also counterattacked by Huanrui. Da Mimi was ready to be besieged again.
Unexpectedly, Blue Whale and Wei Yang took action and directly took over Huanrui's tricks, and the two sides clashed directly.
Da Mimi didn't care about Wei Yang's other reasons and intentions for doing this. She only saw that Wei Yang stood up for her and even suppressed Huanrui, which was full of happiness and security.
As for the fact that she was obviously treacherous, but she was happy to see Huanrui, the victim, suffer losses, wasn't it a bit immoral?
When did Da Mimi care about these things!
She even enjoyed the feeling of bullying others by taking advantage of her power. The more Wei Yang "disregarded morality" to stand up for her, the happier she was. She felt that Wei Yang valued her, and she had a strange pleasure of being a concubine who brought disaster to the country.
So Da Mimi not only did not become as cold and distant as Zeng Jia thought, but became closer to Wei Yang.
God has mercy on her. Da Mimi has been in the industry for so many years, especially after she became famous, people dislike her and scold her every day.
It was not until this time that she really experienced the taste of having a powerful backer, which was simply intoxicating.
So much so that Da Mimi paid attention to the news every day to see how Blue Whale and Huanrui competed. Seeing Huanrui suffer losses was happier than making money herself.
Huanrui: "..."
Da Mimi flipped through her phone, but didn't see any good news that made her excited, so she couldn't help asking.
"Jia Jie, do you think Huanrui will give in?"
"I don't know."
Zeng Jia shook her head. After leaving Huanrui, she worked more in Da Mimi's studio. Although she still had some connections, she couldn't figure out the specific trends at a certain level.
Even if she could figure it out, she couldn't judge it, after all, Wei Yang's tactics have deviated from the conventional struggles in the entertainment industry.
Normally, when people have conflicts, they all throw dirty water on each other to mess with artists. The most ruthless thing is that two projects collide head-on, or use connections and resources to suppress.
Wei Yang's operation of sniping the listing really opened Zeng Jia's eyes. She never thought that she could play it this way.
It was also at this moment that Zeng Jia truly realized the gap between herself and Wei Yang, and the two were not at the same level at all.
She also sorted out her little thoughts to some extent, and her attitude and thoughts were restrained and restrained. She had realized that even if she pulled Da Mimi to an independent business, or even turned to capital, Wei Yang could easily kill her.
From this moment on, Zeng Jia also had the idea of agreeing with Da Mimi.
At least Wei Yang was indeed protective of his shortcomings, and he was not timid at critical moments, and he was relatively loyal.
She knew that even if she pulled Da Mimi out, she could not do without the help of capital. In this case, why not find a capital that she knew and was relatively sophisticated.
Although there are still some reservations, Zeng Jia's attitude has changed unknowingly, and she is no longer as resistant to Coral Entertainment and Wei Yang behind it as before.
Da Mimi is not as far-sighted as Zeng Jia thought, she just has some regrets.
"It's a pity that Huanrui didn't go public, and many agreements were signed before the listing, otherwise there would be more tricks."
Zeng Jia was curious: "What other tricks are there?"
Da Mimi had called Wei Yang before and inquired about some things, and couldn't help showing off to Zeng Jia.
"Although Wei Yang's current trick can affect and stop Huanrui to a certain extent, it is not absolute. It is hard to say to what extent it can achieve, so we can only force Huanrui to surrender, and we can't do it to death."
"In fact, Wei Yang's original goal was to acquire the shares of the company that Huanrui wanted to go public through a backdoor listing. If it is achieved, whether Huanrui goes public or not depends on his approval."
"There is another operation, which is to buy off one of Huanrui's shareholders with a large sum of money, acquire a certain amount of shares, and then prevent the listing."
"But these two operations are more difficult. Under normal circumstances, everyone's interests are consistent, and many aspects have begun to go through agreements. It's not that you can acquire it just by saying it."
"If Huanrui goes public, it will be easier, because at that time, the stock market + shareholders will directly acquire shares and become shareholders of Huanrui. Under the premise of sufficient capital, it is even possible to kick the couple out."
"..."
Da Mimi didn't really understand it. She combined some of Wei Yang's words with her understanding, reorganized and pieced them together, and gave a few examples.
If someone who knows the business listens to it, they will find many problems, but many plans are indeed feasible, at least they sound impressive.
There are many routines for capital operation, especially the big one beating the small one, which is hard to guard against.
It's just that capital is profit-seeking. If there is not enough profit, there is no need to do this. If it is a colleague, due to various concerns, it will not be so ruthless.
But Da Mimi doesn't understand, and Zeng Jia is also a half-baked one. She was confused and sweating.
"Dark, these people are really dark."
Zeng Jia doesn't think he is a good person. In the past few years, he has helped his artists to use tricks in the entertainment industry.
But compared with Wei Yang, it's just a small witch meeting a big witch.
At most, they can dirty the other party's reputation, lose the other party's face on a certain occasion, and snatch a play or a role.
Wei Yang directly seized the foundation of others. In the blink of an eye, I don't know how many people's property, work and hard work went down the drain. It is a real killing without bloodshed.
Zeng Jia swallowed her saliva, and for the first time, she felt a sense of fear towards the handsome, smiling young man…
Da Mimi was still unaware, and still regretted that Wei Yang’s tricks were not used.
It’s not that she didn’t know how terrible these tricks were, but Da Mimi naturally felt that she was Wei Yang’s person, and she never thought whether Wei Yang would use the same tricks on her one day.
So Da Mimi didn’t feel fear, but the more ruthless and powerful Wei Yang was, the happier she was.
The two chatted for a long time, and when it was time to shoot, Da Mimi went to the scene. She had just put on makeup and was about to shoot when she saw director Deng Chao looking at her with some complexity.
“Mimi, congratulations.”
“???”
Da Mimi was a little confused, and just as she was about to ask a question, Zeng Jia hurried over and showed her the phone. The news headline on it made Da Mimi burst into a swear word.
“Fuck!”
In late May, Huanrui Century and Blue Whale jointly announced that after friendly negotiations, the two sides decided to start strategic cooperation.
Jointly develop projects such as "Zhu Xian" and "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" IPs held by Huanrui Century.
At the press conference, Xia Cong, general manager of Blue Whale, highly praised this strategic cooperation and clarified some previous false rumors about the two companies.
At the same time, according to rumors, Jiang Sanshi, the vice president who directly caused the conflict between Blue Whale and Huanrui Century, was suspected of being demoted, and some people said that the other party seemed to have left Huanrui.
But the most interesting thing is that another influential figure, Lin Gengxin, did not choose to join Huanrui in the end, but switched to Huayi.
In this regard, the two sides also had some economic disputes and once went to court.
For these changes, the spectators were overwhelmed and confused, but in the industry where insider information was flying all over the sky, Boss Wei's reputation was shaken...
