Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 239 is over. I've offended an industry bigwig!

"Dying to Survive is a huge hit! Your outstanding acting completely won over President Liu, and he plans to meet with you in person to sign an important contract!" Chen Tianzhen said excitedly.

Chen Tianzhen never expected that Zhou Yang would actually gain recognition.

"Alright, Sister Tianzhen, I'll give you face."

"Okay, I didn't waste my time taking care of you. Wait for me at the entrance of Rolling Stone Building at 10 a.m. tomorrow."

The next morning at 10:00 AM.

Zhou Yang arrived at the entrance of Rolling Stone Building on time, where Chen Tianzhen was already waiting.

When Chen Tianzhen saw Zhou Yang, she immediately smiled and warmly greeted him.

"Xiao Yang, you really won a brilliant victory this time. I was right about you!" Chen Tianzhen said excitedly, leading Zhou Yang into the Rolling Stone Building.

Back at the Rolling Stone Building, the company's artists and staff whispered amongst themselves along the way.

"It's Zhou Yang! Why is he back?"

"I heard that 'Dying to Survive' is a huge hit, and the company plans to sign a contract with them for a hefty sum."

"My God, he's so lucky!"

"Yes, if I had such a good script, I could be famous too!"

"..."

Zhou Yang is currently enjoying immense popularity. Previously, most people thought that if he didn't focus on music and instead went into acting, he would definitely have less and less of a future and eventually end up with no resources and no roles to play.

Unexpectedly, after the release of "Dying to Survive", Zhou Yang made a successful comeback and became a viral sensation online, which made everyone extremely envious and jealous.

Zhou Yang listened to their discussion, but just smiled faintly and did not want to argue with them.

Fate is the excuse of the weak, while luck is the humble word of the strong.

They always thought that as long as they stood on Zhou Yang's stage, they would become famous, but the truth is that they simply didn't have that level of talent.

Shortly after, Zhou Yang and Chen Tianzhen entered the chairman's office, led by a beautiful female assistant.

In the office, a middle-aged, overweight man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was intently reading documents. When he saw Zhou Yang, his eyes narrowed into slits.

"Xiao Yang, please sit down. I've been waiting for you for a long time, hahaha."

"Not at all, Mr. Liu, you are a very busy person. I am just a small-time artist. How could I deserve your attention?" Zhou Yang replied in an equal tone.

Zhou Yang had absolutely no liking for Liu Zhengdong.

He is the owner of the film and television division of Rolling Stone Corporation, but many female artists in the company have lost their reputations because of him, all in order to gain a higher status.

What's even more despicable is that he also had ulterior motives. When Zhou Yang decided to enter the film and television industry, he hinted to Zhou Yang to go to his home for a more in-depth discussion.

Zhou Yang refused without hesitation, but later he heard that Kun Kun took his place, entered Liu Zhengdong's home, and all the company's resources began to be tilted towards Kun Kun.

“Xiao Yang, Chairman Liu has been keeping a close eye on you. He was under a lot of pressure when he asked you to come back and re-sign the contract,” Chen Tianzhen said gently.

Zhou Yang nodded and said calmly, "Chairman Liu, I would like to understand the sincerity of Rock Records in signing me."

A hint of disdain flashed in Liu Zhengdong's eyes; even the most arrogant artist cannot resist the temptation of money.

He coughed twice, then held up two fingers: "Twenty million, this is our signing fee for you."

what? !

Chen Tianzhen's mouth dropped open in astonishment. Even he hadn't expected Liu Zhengdong, usually so stingy, to be so generous this time. A signing fee is a fee paid upon signing the contract after its formation; it is unrelated to contract remuneration.

Liu Zhengdong smiled and continued, "The formal contract includes two TV series in which you will star and two movies in which you will play the leading role each year, with investments exceeding 100 million yuan. You will be working with top-tier stars, and the company will only take 50% of the profits."

Oh! Chen Tian started to tense up, his breathing quickening.

This is practically a privilege reserved for the top star of Rolling Stone Films!

For Zhou Yang, who was just starting out on the big screen, starring in two films with investments of over 100 million yuan each year was a tremendous opportunity.

Chen Tianzhen kept giving Zhou Yang meaningful glances, trying to get him to agree, but Zhou Yang remained unmoved.

"Leading role? What does that mean? Aren't I the male lead?" Zhou Yang keenly noticed the problem.

A strange expression flashed in Liu Zhengdong's eyes; Zhou Yang was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

"Well then, since you're new to the big screen, you need to hone your acting skills first. We're going to have you learn from Kun Kun for a while."

Should I follow in Kun Kun's footsteps and learn from him?
Zhou Yang's gaze immediately turned cold: "Sorry, Kun Kun is not worth me replacing as a supporting actor, and I don't need to learn from him. Rock Records is indeed good, but I don't plan to sign with them."

After saying that, Zhou Yang stood up and prepared to leave.

"Arrogant!" Liu Zhengdong suddenly stood up, slammed his hand on the table, and roared, "Try walking out of this door, I guarantee you won't survive in the entertainment industry!"

Threat!

A blatant threat!
Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, then responded with a cold laugh: "Chairman Liu is indeed extraordinary. I'm scared. I guess I'll have to go back to my hometown to farm."

After saying that, Zhou Yang left Liu Zhengdong's office without looking back.

"Hmph! You just wait!" Liu Zhengdong's angry voice echoed throughout the entire floor.

The staff all kept their heads down and focused on their work, afraid of offending the boss.

Chen Tianzhen quickly went downstairs and caught up with Zhou Yang.

“Sister Tianzhen, there’s no need to persuade me anymore. I’m not going back to Rock Records,” Zhou Yang said bluntly.

"Who said I was trying to persuade you? Anyway, I've already decided to resign. I've decided to work with you. I've had enough of that fatso." Chen Tianzhen said, looking annoyed.

Zhou Yang was stunned; he had never heard Chen Tianzhen swear before.

However, Zhou Yang was immediately overjoyed.

"That's great, Sister Tianzhen! With you joining us, Zhou Yang's studio will definitely achieve even greater success!"

Zhou Yang's joining Rock Records has stirred up a storm.

After Chen Tianzhen left, she took the entire team with her and parted ways with Rock Records.

Zhou Yang's studio originally had only about ten people, but the addition of Chen Tianzhen's team instantly expanded the studio into a large family of dozens of people.

At the same time, stars cultivated by Chen Tianzhen, such as Zhuge Nana, Ma Sichun, and Song Jia, announced their contract terminations and set up their own studios.

Although they had long wanted to terminate their contracts with the company, they had not been able to do so out of respect for Chen Tianzhen. However, Chen Tianzhen's departure left them with no reason to stay.

More importantly, since the contract was renewed after he became famous, there was no need to pay any additional penalty for breach of contract after the termination.

Liu Zhengdong was furious and immediately made threatening remarks, saying that anyone who dared to support Chen Tianzhen and Zhou Yang was provoking him!

Faced with the powerful Rolling Stone Films, some production teams began to feel intimidated and dared not cooperate with Zhou Yang.
