As soon as Jiang Youli finished speaking, the previously irritable entertainment company representatives immediately quieted down, a hint of expectation faintly visible on their faces.
Which three?
Zheng Zegang from Dafeng Entertainment complained to Long Yuan, Young Master Long, these people really have no backbone at all! Just a moment ago they were condemning Jiang Youli for wasting their time and demanding an explanation, and now they are shamelessly hoping for a collaboration!
Chairman Yu was also quite speechless. This time Long Yuan had been played by Jiang Youli and failed to acquire the copyright for Ambition of Qingyun. Fearing that Long Yuan might vent his anger on him, he had tried to incite the other entertainment companies to gang up on Jiang Youli, hoping it would at least help Long Yuan let out some of his frustration.
But who would have thought that a single sentence from Jiang Youli would make these people settle down and even look forward to a partnership!
They had absolutely no principles!
The reactions of the entertainment company representatives left the viewers in the live stream dying of laughter.
This was the first time Long Yuan had been slapped in the face so publicly.
And from the very beginning, Jiang Youli had been waiting for this exact moment to reveal her identity.
So his so-called sanctions now looked like a complete joke.
[Hahaha, these people might be angry, but they still cannot resist the urge to collaborate with the great author Lili Yuan Shang!]
[Is this the confidence that comes with talent? The great author Lili Yuan Shang dares to offend so many companies at once, doesn't panic in the face of their condemnation, and even tells them she'll give them a chance!]
[Even with her talent, offending so many companies at the same time... isn't she afraid that Starlight Entertainment will be jointly besieged by them?]
[Exactly! I'm just worried that Starlight Entertainment won't be able to get any resources in the future and will have to produce and market everything themselves. Her signed artists will suffer along with her!]
[Speaking of which, Starlight Entertainment is a relatively new company that just started not long ago. They don't have any top-tier stars. I think they recently poached someone, and then there's Jiang Zhao, a new-generation singer who has a bit of fame.]
[I want to see what happens next!]
Jiang Youli looked at them and slowly said, The three companies that I am relatively satisfied with are Fangxiang Entertainment, Fenghuo Media, and Future Pictures.
Hearing Jiang Youli name them with praise, the representatives of the three mentioned entertainment companies could not help but show a trace of pride on their faces.
This was especially true for Fenghuo Entertainment.
At first, they were just an unknown little entertainment company with only newcomers on their roster. Just by relying on their sincerity to acquire one of Lili Yuan Shang's novels, the company's status rose with the immense success of the television adaptation, and their actors became overnight stars.
However, Fenghuo Entertainment did not become complacent after one success. They soon followed up by relying on their sincerity once again to acquire a second novel from Lili Yuan Shang. After its release, it became a massive hit again, which allowed them to secure their current, relatively stable position among a sea of entertainment companies without being eliminated.
[I remember! Fenghuo Entertainment is the company that got two of Lili Yuan Shang's works!]
[Yes! I just realized that Millennium Media, which acquired another one of Lili Yuan Shang's works, didn't come to this meeting today!]
Jiang Youli continued, If you don't mind, I can promise that for the copyright of my next novel, I will give priority consideration to selling it to one of your three companies.
All the entertainment company representatives were stunned.
The copyright for a new novel? You're painting a pie in the sky that's a bit too far off!
Are you really that sure your next novel will be just as popular?
Receiving a meaningful glance from Chairman Yu, Zheng Zegang quickly tried to stir up emotions and shouted, Don't be fooled by her again! She must pay the price for what she did to us today! From now on, whenever Starlight Entertainment wants any resources, we will unite and snatch them away!
The other unmentioned entertainment company representatives secretly peeked at Long Yuan's expression.
At the scene, aside from the veteran Dafeng Entertainment, only Tianyu Media and Starry Sky Pictures had significant influence; the rest were fairly average.
They dared not offend Long Yuan, nor did they dare offend Qi Huan.
And Jiang Youli was Qi Huan's fiancée.
So since Jiang Youli had already given an explanation, they chose to keep their mouths shut, not planning to pursue the matter to the bitter end and risk offending Qi Huan.
At this moment, the representative of Fenghuo Entertainment, who had received the nod of approval, stood up. Alright, I believe in your skills, Great Author. Your next novel will definitely break your current records once again. Since you are willing to give Fenghuo Entertainment this opportunity, it is our honor. We look forward to our next collaboration with you!
With Fenghuo Entertainment taking the lead, the representatives of the other two companies also stood up one after another, sincerely expressing their honor at receiving Jiang Youli's recognition.
On the second-floor corridor.
Duan Shuheng looked at Jiang Youli in a new light once more. Jiang Youli's approach is really interesting. By saying this, she is essentially telling the other entertainment companies besides these three that their failure to get the copyright for Ambition of Qingyun is simply because they lack the capability. They couldn't outbid Dafeng Entertainment, and their sincerity couldn't match that of Fenghuo and the other two.
Duan Shuheng's best friend said, But she will still be holding a grudge by some entertainment companies.
Duan Shuheng was indifferent. Heh, in the face of absolute power, what use is a grudge? If Jiang Youli is really as she says, and her new novel can still become a massive hit, then she indeed has the right to be this confident.
Qi Huan smiled and said, Cheng Jing, let's go downstairs.
Seeing Qi Huan coming down the stairs, Long Yuan thought about how he had actually been played by Jiang Youli right in front of Qi Huan. His heart burned with fury. He stood up with a cold face, remaining silent, and glared at Jiang Youli with a chilling gaze.
Who would have thought that facing Long Yuan's murderous stare, Jiang Youli was not only unafraid but actually walked toward Long Yuan under the astonished gazes of the crowd.
Stopping right in front of Long Yuan, she curled her lips into a mocking smile and said, This time I saved Young Master Long six hundred million. Just consider it the coffin fund for the Long family's future. Use it well, otherwise, you might not have many opportunities to squander money later on.
Coffin fund?!
How dare she be so arrogant!
Chairman Yu broke out in a cold sweat from sheer terror.
Long Yuan's eyes were incredibly gloomy as he said, Jiang Youli, let me remind you too. Enjoy your arrogance while you can, because you won't have many days left to be arrogant.
After saying that, he strode away on his long legs.
Hurry up and go soothe Young Master Long's emotions! Chairman Yu urged his daughter, Yu Linglong.
Seeing Long Yuan take a tumble, Yu Linglong felt a secret thrill in her heart, but she feigned concern on the surface and said, I know.
She trotted out after him.
Chairman Yu glared fiercely at Jiang Youli and threw down a harsh remark. Jiang Youli, don't think that just because Ambition of Qingyun is in your hands, you can film it well. There are plenty of examples of massive IPs turning into box office poison when adapted for the screen. You might be able to write good novels, but you won't necessarily be able to produce good television!
Jiang Youli shrugged and said, Then I won't need the concern of a loser like you.
Chairman Yu gave a cold snort and left with his secretary and Zheng Zegang.
The two brothers, Qi Xiuyuan and Qi Feifan, had originally planned to watch Long Yuan sanction Jiang Youli. Who would have thought they ended up watching Jiang Youli show off instead!
What a complete waste of time!
Seeing Qi Huan and Cheng Jing come downstairs, the two brothers also followed them down.
When Luo Yutong saw Qi Xiuyuan, her hands couldn't help but clench in nervousness.
But the moment she thought about Jiang Youli being here, she suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of security.
"Jiang Youli, you really are something else. To think you're actually the popular web novelist, Lili Yuanshang." Walking downstairs, Qi Feifan smiled at Jiang Youli. "It seems Brother Huan really struck gold this time. Miss Jiang has been back in Jing City for less than a month, yet you've already stolen the spotlight three times. I truly wonder what kind of surprise you'll bring to us in high society next."
"There are plenty more surprises where that came from," Jiang Youli said. "Who knows, maybe next time it'll be a slap in the face for all of you."
Qi Feifan just smiled, saying nothing.
Qi Xiuyuan spoke up, "Jiang Youli, after we left the auction house that day, you were the one who told Jiang Xing to snatch that woman, Luo Yutong, right out of my hands, weren't you?"
