Chapter 1067: Chapter 1069: Business Talks (1) Chapter 1067: Chapter 1069: Business Talks (1) “If you want us to break up, it’s easy, give me ten billion in cash. Take the money I could earn from her and invest it in someone else, and I’ll agree to break up with her on the spot.”

“What? Ten billion?” The Yu Family all gasped in shock. Although the Yu Family’s businesses were substantial, with valuations running into the tens of billions, most of that money was tied up in real estate, loans, merchandise, equity–and very little was liquid cash. It’s no exaggeration to say that nowadays, many people flaunt their wealth of tens of billions, but those who can actually pull together ten billion in cash are pitifully few.

“Right, and that’s just what you’d have to give me. I haven’t even started on Feifei’s share yet. If you think you can tarnish her reputation and destroy her career without paying this much, don’t blame me for turning hostile.”

The Yu family didn’t care about affection; they only cared about money, about social status, right? Then he would properly calculate it all for them.

Now, Sixing didn’t fear a direct confrontation with the Yu family. He was afraid they’d play dirty behind the scenes, incapable of coming at him openly and instead, completely destroying her in the shadows.

Sihua curled her lips, “Brother, don’t lie to people. You might not have given Xue Feifei much money, but you gave her the lead role, you gave her resources–the entertainment industry thrives on resources and support; with them, you can become famous!”

“Well, you’ve got to see that there’s a saying ‘Minor celebrities rely on promotion, big stars on destiny, and forced promotion brings divine retribution.’ How many investors’ daughters enter the film industry and become hits?”

When it came to business, Sixing had never been afraid of anyone. “I’m not exaggerating when I say that the resources from the ‘Chaotic Times’ crew were the only ones I supplied. But this current film, it was introduced by Huang Mi, it’s Huang Mi’s resources. The scandal with Huang Mi before, and the buzz now, that’s all her own traction–she brings her own buzz. I didn’t even do any Weibo marketing for her. I invested less than a million in her, but she made how much for the company?”

“How much can she earn, after all? She’s neither a popular young actress nor a fresh young actor. She doesn’t get much exposure, nor does she have many endorsements. After breaking up with Huang Mi, she’s hung around with a few young actors. Those guys were nobodies a year ago, and now they’re darlings of XX video website, hot as anything. They used to get less than two million for a film, now eight million is a friendly price. Don’t they earn more than her?”

Sihua was unconvinced.

The entertainment industry is never short of good-looking men and women, and sure, Xue Feifei is quite attractive, but being attractive is only the entry-level requirement in this industry. Besides, she’s not famous yet, she has no clout, and it would be the same with anyone else promoting her.

“Nowadays, some young actors and actresses indeed make big money after shooting to fame. But it also costs a huge amount to promote them, and the capital invested in them isn’t less than tens of millions a year. And once they’re famous, do you think they’ll stick to the original contract? Leaving after the contract expires is already considered charity, and more often they breach the contract, jump ship, and sue. Plus, I run a film company, a film company. It’s not the same as a regular entertainment company. Casting young actors without acting skills and if they botch the film, my investment goes down the drain. Don’t you know that in the movie industry the term ‘young actor’ is synonymous with box office poison? And you just offhandedly suggest finding someone else to hype up. Will you compensate me if it’s a loss?”

Sihua was so rebutted she couldn’t say a word, gasping with frustration. Normally, at a time like this, Qichu would pour her a glass of water to comfort her. But today, he didn’t.
