Zhang Yimeng dialed Wu Qifan's phone, but couldn't get through, he was still locked in the blacklist, he sent a WeChat message to Wu Qifan and said: "Qifan, now a large number of reporters are gathered at the door of the company, I ask you for the last time, is there really no room for negotiation?" ā
He waited for five minutes and didn't receive a reply, Zhang Yimeng scolded in his heart: "Damn, I gave you a chance, but you don't cherish it, then don't blame me for being unkind." "He asked people to go out and inform reporters, and he was going to hold a press conference to calm them down and keep order.
Immediately, he asked his assistant to immediately prepare a lawyer's letter to sue Wu Qifan, and then went out with him. As soon as the reporters saw Zhang Yimeng appear at the door, they were immediately excited, scrambling to ask him questions, and the flash of the camera flashed.
The crowd kept pouring forward, and the scene was almost out of control for a while, Zhang Yimeng held a megaphone and told everyone to calm down. He cleared his throat and said to everyone with a megaphone: "Fellow journalists, the public has been very concerned about the movements of Mr. Wu Qifan, an artist of our company, recently, and there are various rumors. ā
The reporters below were in a commotion again, and everyone rushed to ask one by one, "Is Wu Qifan inside?" "Your company has been claimed for liquidated damages, is this true?" "Is there a conflict between Wu Qifan and your company?"
Zhang Yimeng made a gesture to calm everyone down, and he officially said that today, Yimeng Entertainment Company will formally sue Mr. Wu Qifan for violating the contract signed with the company and claim one billion yuan in liquidated damages from him. ā
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience was in an uproar. His assistant opened the lawyer's letter and showed the reporters that the camera was "clicking, clicking." Zhang Yimeng continued: "I have discussed with Mr. Wu Qifan many times and expressed the greatest sincerity, but Mr. Wu Qifan insisted on going his own way and refused to perform the relevant obligations of the contract, resulting in Yimeng Entertainment Company being sued by the relevant companies for compensation, and the company really decided to sue Mr. Wu Qifan as a last resort. ā
Zhang Yimeng's words, this news is like putting a drop of water in a pot of hot oil, the reporters are like exploding the pot, you and I are asking Zhang Yimeng a word, but Zhang Yimeng said "No comment." "Subject to the court's decision." and so on, refusing to answer any question.
The news that Yimeng Entertainment Company claimed one billion yuan from the popular male god Wu Qifan appeared like snowflakes on the Internet, TV and radio in an instant.
When Zhang Yimeng held a press conference with the outside world, Wu Qifan was in the hospital, Wu Zhengcheng suddenly walked to his side in a hurry, handed him the mobile phone and said, "Qifan, is this true?" ā
Wu Qifan glanced at the screen of his mobile phone, and saw a piece of news on the screen, titled "The male god Wu Qifan had a stalemate with the owner and was claimed one billion", a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he didn't expect Zhang Yimeng to preemptively strike, before he announced his retirement from the entertainment industry, he held a press conference to the society and directly announced to the media that he would sue him.
But what should come is always coming, Wu Qifan said lightly: "Yes, I decided to quit the entertainment industry." Wu Zhengcheng said anxiously: "I'm asking you, the news said that the company claimed 1 billion from you, is this true?" ā
Wu Qifan's gaze returned to his sister, and he still replied lightly: "Yes." It seems that Wu Zhengcheng is talking about other people's business, and it has nothing to do with him. But Wu Zhengcheng was so anxious that he scratched his head and scratched his ears, and he asked Wu Qifan: "What the hell is going on?" Do you have so much money to lose someone in a billion? Is this non-negotiable? ā
How could Wu Qifan not be anxious? Her daughter was in a car accident and is still lying unconscious in the hospital, and now her son is being sued by the company for a claim of one billion, why is their family so unlucky recently?!
Wu Qifan said calmly: "As long as Tongtong can wake up, everything else is not important." Wu Zhengcheng looked at Wu Qifan with an indifferent look, and was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and he said, "What doesn't matter!" Do you have 1 billion to pay to others? If you can't accompany you, you will go to jail. ā
Wu Qifan looked at Wu Zhengcheng and said, "Isn't this court still undecided?" Wu Zhengcheng was speechless for a moment when he asked. That evening, Wu Qifan posted a Weibo post with the title "Explanation on the Contract Dispute with Yimeng Entertainment Company".
Wu Qifan said in the article that he did not perform the contract signed with Yimeng because the contract was a completely unreasonable and unfair contract, and the contract stipulated that the ratio of his share with the company was 3:7, and in the past two years, he had created huge economic benefits for the company, but the company had never thought of increasing his share ratio, and he felt that there was no need to perform such an unfair contract.
As soon as Wu Qifan's Weibo was released, public opinion was in an uproar again, and Wu Qifan's tens of millions of fans were even more emotional, one-sidedly supporting the idol Wu Qifan, and ran to Yimeng Company and Zhang Yimeng's Weibo, scolding them for being black-hearted businessmen, and calling on everyone to boycott Yimeng Company.
But in less than an hour, Zhang Yimeng posted an article on his personal and the company's Weibo account, telling that the company paid a huge price to cultivate Wu Qifan from a nobody to a national male god, but Wu Qifan wanted to tear up the contract after becoming famous, a week ago, he had proposed to Wu Qifan to readjust the sharing ratio, the company accounted for three, and Wu Qifan accounted for seventy.
As soon as this Weibo came out, there was another camp on the Internet, scolding Wu Qifan for being a white-eyed wolf who didn't know how to report his kindness, and pinching Wu Qifan's fan camp, which was so lively.
Wu Qifan quickly posted another Weibo, saying that Zhang Yimeng proposed to adjust the sharing ratio only when he had already made up his mind, and if he had been swallowing his anger, Zhang Yimeng would never take the initiative to adjust the sharing ratio.
Zhang Yimeng replied to Wu Qifan's Weibo almost in seconds, and even posted the minutes of the company's meeting two weeks ago on studying and adjusting the proportion of sharing with Wu Qifan. But Wu Qifan's netizens agreed that it was made up temporarily.
After several back and forth, Zhang Yimeng's personal and the company's Weibo were almost attacked by Wu Qifan's fans, and he was scolded, Zhang Yimeng couldn't imagine that Wu Qifan would use fans to create public opinion pressure, so that he and the company were in a passive state.
The next day, several big brands endorsed by Wu Qifan all demanded liquidated damages from Zhang Yimeng's company at the same time, and now Zhang Yimeng is a two-sided enemy, but the more this is the case, the more Zhang Yimeng can't retreat.
