A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 401: Studio's Relations

Zhang Yixing smiled sympathetically. He thought that Chen Jinnian was just like him, completely controlled by his relatives from his agent to his personal assistant, even his makeup artist and stylist.

"Then let's add WeChat and keep in touch when we have time."

"Okay, I'm in Beijing when I'm not filming, so you can find me anytime."

After the two added each other as friends, Zhang Yixing hurriedly left for the next work location with the members of the service team.

But when Zhang Yixing was leading the team away, a guy who was not sure whether he was an assistant or an agent glared at Chen Jinnian fiercely, leaving Chen Jinnian a little confused.

The top artists themselves are so humble, why are the team members around them so arrogant?

"Is there something wrong with that person just now?" Chen Jinnian asked.

"I came first, and they came later. After Zhang Yixing went in, they cleared the area and didn't allow anyone to approach," said Wang Yiming.

"Did they have a conflict with you?" Chen Jinnian looked at the group of people leaving with a bad look. He roughly checked and found that there were about eight or nine people following Zhang Yixing. As for whether there were more people outside, he was not sure.

"I guess so. They started the fight first, but I hit them a little too hard and injured two people. I don't know if it has any effect on you." Wang Yiming said.

"Heh, he's just a brat who's relying on the power of others. What impact can he have?" Chen Jinnian sneered, then looked at Wang Yiming with concern. "You're not injured, are you? Why don't you go to the hospital for a checkup? Don't let Didi blame me when you go back."

"No, just a bunch of rookies."

Zhang Yixing's team is made up of people who were stuffed in by Zhang Yixing's mother. They are good at internal battles but not good at external battles. They are used to bullying the workers who endure their anger in silence. When they meet Wang Yiming, it is like an egg hitting a stone.

"That's great. I'll have the law firm we work with send someone over to get the surveillance footage and other information."

Chen Jinnian believed that Zhang Yixing would not cause him trouble because of this matter, but the county magistrate was not as good as the current one, so he still had to be on guard against those unclear connections.

Zhang Yixing, who was tired and had a headache, collapsed on the seat to rest after getting in the car. He hadn't slept for a whole day and night, and was not as energetic as he looked at the table.

If it was a normal artist team, they would not disturb Zhang Yixing at this moment, but it was obvious that the team was a little abnormal.

Zhang Yixing had just put on his clothes and wanted to take a nap when his executive agent immediately started complaining, recounting the whole incident with exaggerated details, which made his already aching head even more painful.

"No, who asked you to clear the area? Who are sitting inside?" Zhang Yixing asked angrily.

"We thought he was a paparazzi, so we tried to persuade him to leave immediately. But who knew he had such a bad temper and would hit us the moment we disagreed..."

"Can you persuade me in a nice way? Do you think I'm a fool? Or do you think the person on the other side is a fool? Is it difficult to check the surveillance?" Zhang Yixing's series of questions instantly made the atmosphere in the car drop to freezing point.

The executive agent could only shut up in disappointment. He didn't even look at Wang Yiming and looked down on Chen Jinnian, so of course he wouldn't try to persuade him in a nice way.

Zhang Yixing has long been increasingly dissatisfied with the team around him, but they are all his mother's people, and each of them is related to him, so he can't just replace them.

As long as he dares to lay off employees, his mother will call him immediately and continue to bind him with family affection.

Zhang Yixing massaged his temples painfully, then waved his hands, indicating that he didn't want to listen to the other party's nonsense. He had to find a way to solve the problem quickly. If he wanted to survive in the entertainment industry, he couldn't make enemies everywhere, especially for an artist like him who relied on exposure.

But he was not familiar with Chen Jinnian and had just added him as a friend. He needed to find an intermediary to help explain, and then find an opportunity to treat the other party to a meal and apologize.

Zhang Yixing initially wanted Huang Bo to be the middleman, but considering that Huang Bo was drunk and it seemed like this was the first time he met Chen Jinnian, he called Huang Lei.

"Hey, Master, are you busy now?"

Huang Lei was in the hospital at the moment. He became a father again this month and had a son. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. "Hey, Yixing, how come you have time to call me?"

"I heard that Master has a son, so I came here specially to congratulate him." Zhang Yixing congratulated with a smile.

"Okay, I already congratulated you a few days ago. If you have something to say, just say it, otherwise I'm hanging up." Huang Lei saw through Zhang Yixing's intention in an instant and didn't want to beat around the bush with him.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yixing's smile faded and he told Huang Lei the whole story.

Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he could still guess the specific situation based on his understanding of his own people.

After finishing his explanation, he hurriedly said, "Master, I remember that you and Chen Jinnian know each other. If you don't help me, no one else can."

After hearing this, Huang Lei frowned and rubbed his hair.

Zhang Yixing's relatives went to scold Chen Jinnian's relatives and even tried to hit them, but they failed and were instead beaten up by Chen Jinnian's relatives.

What a mess this is. It was just like this when the Hong Kong circle moved north.

"I remember that Chen Jinnian didn't bring an assistant." Huang Lei asked.

When recording Mushroom House, all the guests from the entertainment industry brought their assistants and agents. Once the camera was turned off, the scene became very lively, with people serving water, wiping sweat, touching up makeup, and doing hair.

"He brought one today and has been waiting outside the box. He seems to be my brother-in-law."

"That's Wang Yidi's brother," Huang Lei said, and things seemed to be getting more complicated. "Don't worry about this for now. Chen Jinnian has a new movie premiere in a couple of days, and I'll be there. I'll be there to help you explain it clearly. No, there's nothing to explain. There's really something wrong with your team."

"Listen to my master's advice. If you can't manage your studio, just disband it and build a new one. Not to mention outsiders, even my team says your people are too difficult to deal with. They often act like big shots, have poor cooperation, and are indifferent... Forget it, just manage yourself."

Huang Lei criticized Zhang Yixing with great regret, saying that in the entertainment industry, reputation is everything, one can have a bad temper but not a bad character, and Zhang Yixing is obviously a member of the studio team, so his character is too bad.

Now that things are going well, others are just angry but dare not speak out, but once things go downhill, everyone will push them down.

Zhang Yixing lowered his head and listened to Huang Lei's instructions. He knew what he should do, but it was difficult for a judge to judge family affairs. Too many relatives were involved, and it was not easy to extricate himself.

Unlike Zhang Yixing who had already left, Chen Jinnian did not leave the parking area. On the one hand, he couldn't let his brother-in-law go back hungry, and on the other hand, he was waiting for the law firm to send someone.

Although it was a bit late, based on Chen Jinnian's understanding of these large law firms, as long as it was not early in the morning, there would be lawyers working overtime in the company.

But Chen Jinnian didn't expect that the person who came was Yang Cheng.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

"I happen to be at the law firm and came out to supervise the interns." After Yang Cheng finished explaining, he quickly pulled Chen Jinnian to a deserted place. He had some private matters to discuss with Chen Jinnian.
