She had previously dealt with Jiang Ling and knew that Jiang Ling would not sign unless it was a platinum contract. She had to use all her persuasive skills, explaining Jiang Ling's value with various data to her boss brother and the board members, before they reluctantly agreed.
The other companies, not knowing beforehand that Jiang Ling wanted a platinum contract, definitely wouldn't have had time to prepare. Convincing major shareholders and executives to offer a platinum contract would at best result in a top-tier gold contract, with an additional tens of millions in base salary.
Ge Ying's guess was correct.
To offer a platinum contract, the approval of the board of directors was necessary.
The equity structure of a listed company is so complex, with everyone considering their own interests. Persuading each of them one by one was incredibly difficult.
Previously, the other companies had offered top-tier gold contracts, plus additional base salary and resource subsidies.
She was the first person to offer a platinum contract to Jiang Ling.
However, Ge Ying had overlooked one thing.
Among the five major entertainment brokerage giants, Huayao Entertainment was the only privately held, non-listed company.
The ownership of this company was concentrated entirely in Jian Zhou's hands. As long as he agreed, he could swiftly offer a platinum contract in a short period.
After Ge Ying left, Jiang Ling stared blankly at the platinum contract before her, falling into deep contemplation.
Just as Jiang Ling was hesitating, the media, through some unknown channels, broke the news that Liuyun Media was preparing to offer Jiang Ling a platinum contract.
The moment this news broke, the entertainment industry exploded.
A platinum contract!
This was the ultimate contract, surpassing all artist agreements.
This was the kind of super treatment that even top-tier stars dreamed of.
No one expected Liuyun Media to be so generous.
Upon hearing this news, Zheng Yue Shan, the president of Huohua Media, disregarded the opposition from other executives and artists, and publicly announced that Jiang Ling would never be hired.
The way he put it, it was as if Jiang Ling was desperately seeking Huohua Media.
When Wang Tian was interviewed by reporters and asked why he wasn't signing Jiang Ling back, he suppressed his anger and said, "Huohua Media is ashamed of morally bankrupt artists like Jiang Ling and will never have any opportunity to cooperate with her!"
Such harsh words naturally drew dissatisfaction from Jiang Ling's fans.
"What morally bankrupt artist? How is my Lingling morally bankrupt?"
"Exactly. Why should she take a knife for Shen Ming Jue when the situation was so critical? His life is valuable, but is my Lingling's life not?"
"You trash, why call yourself Wang Tian? Just call yourself Wang B Dan, you shameless scoundrel!"
"You're not clean yourself, messing around with An Qiu Yan. Your wife even caught you with her mistress at the company. How dare you accuse others of being morally bankrupt? What face do you have?"
"I've seen shameless people, but never this shameless!"
"Don't even take a pee to look at yourself. You're so amazing, why don't you fly to the sky?"
"Damn it, you dare to scold my goddess? You have the guts of a bear and the heart of a leopard. Sisters and brothers, let's boycott the endorsements of Huohua Media artists and make the brands suffer a loss, so they know we're not to be trifled with."
"Yes, let him know our power!"
The angry fans swarmed the product pages of brands endorsed by Huohua Media artists and began to blast them.
The major brands absolutely did not expect to suffer collateral damage because of a pig teammate.
In two years, Jiang Ling had conquered fifty to sixty million fans through multiple roles.
