Chapter 25
Drawing to a Close, Jiaheng Held Hostage by Capital!

“This is just a ‘favor,’ that’s ‘on the way anyway’…”

“Are we even going to shoot this drama anymore?”

“They’re all so rich and connected!”

“But they just don’t have the most basic acting skills!”

“Do you remember that little girlfriend of CEO Zhao from last time?”

“She had three lines, but they took an entire afternoon to shoot!”

“We weren’t even in a hurry, but she was!”

“And she randomly started yelling at all of us!”

“So she thinks our Jiaxing’s reputation is worthless, huh?”

It was obvious.

Yang Mi’s resentment had been building up for almost two months!

Now, she was finally breaking down.

It was like a dam bursting, pouring out everything!

It wasn’t just directed at Zeng Jia.

It also swept towards Zhao Ruoyao, who had remained silent, standing beside them.

“And you, Sister Yao Yao!”

Yang Mi suddenly whipped her head around!

The sudden roar left Zhao Ruoyao completely stunned!

She could only hear Yang Mi continue to complain:

“Do you remember what you said at the casting call before?”

“You said that if you look at the entire entertainment industry, every company, without exception…”

“There’s not a single crew that’s run by one person alone!”

“But what about Liu Yifei’s side now?”

“They started filming later than us!”

“But now they’re almost done before us!”

“Where’s all that confidence you had back then?”

Clearly…

Hongxingwu didn’t have any confidential protection measures in place.

So both sides could actually keep track of each other’s general progress.

“Uh…”

Hearing Yang Mi suddenly bring this up, the faces of Zeng and Zhao couldn’t help but become a little awkward.

Through their connections in the industry, they naturally knew how things were operating on Liu Yifei’s side.

And they knew very well that…

The reason for their rapid progress was Su Chen!

The one who…

Had been stuck in their Jiaxing for years…

But they never really took him seriously!

Yet, as soon as he arrived, Liu Yifei immediately put him in charge!

He was single-handedly running a crew with higher quality than theirs.

But their shooting speed was even faster!

“Well… this… Mi Mi ah…”

Zeng Jia’s old face was a little stiff.

But she still had to force a smile and comfort her with a dry voice:

“You know our situation, we can’t compare to Hongxingwu!”

“And we’ve already signed the wager contract.”

“What’s the point of talking about it now?”

“Tsk… Sigh!” As soon as she said this, the anger on Yang Mi’s face faded away!

Then…

The three of them fell silent.

Clearly…

All three of them understood what Zeng Jia was saying:

What “can’t compare to Hongxingwu”?

Is it really incomparable?

Indeed, Liu Yifei and Chen Jin Fei are rich.

But the fact is, Hongxingwu is not listed.

Adding up all of the assets they can mobilize, it probably won’t exceed 500-600 million!

Meanwhile, Jiaxing has successfully secured financing.

Its total market value has already hit 5 billion!

As for connections…

Chen Jin Fei’s main business is not in the entertainment industry!

If we’re being honest…

The three of them have probably more connections in the entertainment industry than Chen Jin Fei!

But why are they in this predicament?

The root of the problem.

Is that they’re eager for quick gains and always want to make a quick buck, right?

The reason why Su Chen was always arguing with the three of them before was also this —

Su Chen still wanted to create good works, one by one, in a down-to-earth way.

But the three of them thought that times have changed!

They felt that it was too slow!

So how are they doing now?

They have money…

But this money is given to them by capitalists for them to earn more money!

As a result, they have also become tools in the hands of capitalists!

On the other hand, Su Chen…

Isn’t he putting his thoughts and attitude into action?

Since that’s the case.

They got what they wished for!

Isn’t this the result that the three of them should have foreseen long ago?

“Okay, okay! Let’s stop thinking about others!”

Seeing the atmosphere in the entire RV becoming increasingly oppressive, Yang Mi finally waved her hand in annoyance.

She forcibly stopped her thoughts about that man!

Then she said in a deep voice:

“No matter what… solving the problem at hand is the most important thing!”

“Our progress is already being caught up by them!”

“And since the two dramas have similar themes, we’re bound to compete for the limited market!”

“So we have to find a way to change the current situation!”

“Yes, yes, I think Mi Mi is right!” Seeing that Yang Mi was finally no longer complaining, Zhao Ruoyao quickly nodded.

“I’ve been thinking…”

“Actually, our advantage is in having more fans and being able to control public opinion!”

“Since they’re so strong.”

“I think we should launch a public opinion campaign and stall their progress first!”

“What do you think?”

Zhao Ruoyao subconsciously looked at the two of them.

“No!”

But Yang Mi shook her head decisively, rejecting the idea:

“They haven’t been promoting anything online!”

“Until now, there’s still all this hype for us online.”

“Bringing them into this now will just be giving them more attention, right?”

Seeing both of them deep in thought, Yang Mi continued directly:

“I think we should divide this into two steps —”

“First, continue to expand online public opinion!”

“Make sure that as much as possible, netizens’ attention is focused on us.”

“And the second step is to do everything we can to speed up our progress!”

“As long as we can go live before them!”

“And we can take advantage of the current online advantage!”

“We’ll completely dominate the entire ‘urban drama’ market!”

“Even if they go live, they won’t get much attention!”

“Hmph!”

“To this day, I still hold the same view —”

“We’re in the era of traffic!”

“No matter what others think…”

“I believe! Controlling the traffic, you control everything!”

“Isn’t he insisting on his old-fashioned ways?”

“Then we’ll use this new-age approach to beat him!”

“I want him to see clearly…”

“Times have changed!”

“His outdated stuff…”

“It’s not going to beat us anymore!”

Yang Mi seemed to be stubbornly defending her point!

In her beautiful eyes…

There was a sudden flash of…

Confidence and stubborn light!
