Xinhai Film & Television's move came as no surprise to Li Youzhi.
Come to think of it, this whole tactic of leveraging traffic stars for promotional traction was clearly borrowed from Tu Zheng of Qiangsheng Film and Television a few months ago.
And Tu Zheng's campaign had been taught to him step-by-step by Brother Zhi himself...
Lawsuits between entertainment companies and artists are actually quite difficult to untangle—after all, strictly speaking, this isn't a matter of justice versus injustice at all. Because of conflicting interests, there is no such thing as an absolute side of righteousness! Neither party is an angel.
Li Youzhi had already heard the general ins and outs of the matter from Zhao Yaru. Standing from Zhao Yaru's perspective, Jin Yan and his agency had indeed acted dishonorably.
Over the past couple of days, Xinhai had been besieged by original fans of Song of Youth, and a multi-million-dollar project was on the verge of collapsing. At a time like this, the actor who took the highest paycheck in the entire production directly announced his withdrawal—what kind of behavior was that? To put it in perspective, it was the equivalent of a successful boss marrying a stunningly gorgeous wife, only for the boss's business to fail, upon which the woman immediately demands a divorce!
It was a classic case of kicking a man while he was down!
