That night, 24 hours after the incident, at midnight, Lemon Entertainment issued a statement for the first time, explaining various reasons for Xie Yuxun's departure from the team. It was basically that he was exploited by capital. The article stated that "Produce 101" had no regard for Xie Yuxun's departure from the team.
As well as the artist's physical condition, overloaded and unreasonable work arrangements make it difficult for artists to bear the dual physical and mental injuries.
The Weibo statement had just been issued, and in less than five minutes, it was pushed to the entire network by Weibo officials.
Within ten minutes, the number of retweets on this Weibo post exceeded 70,000, and the number of replies exceeded 200,000.
The editors of major domestic portals who were just getting ready to fall asleep, after hearing this news, immediately got out of bed, wrote at their desks, and fought bloody battles in the gossip news as if they had been given a shot of blood.
Soon, analysis reports came one after another.
Late at night, countless young men and women were bombarded by these reports and became night owls, and each one of them cut the watermelon in high spirits.
After fans learned the news, they were filled with anger:
"Since you've worked so hard and your future is so bleak, it's better to quit as soon as possible!"
"Go back to South Korea! Domestic capital exploitation is too serious!"
"It is said on the Internet that three months of closed competitions and high-intensity training resulted in physical and mental exhaustion, chest pain, vomiting, and difficulty breathing. The boss of the agency often accompanied him to the hospital for treatment."
"It's so scary. Being a star is really not easy."
"Come on, Xie Yuxun! No matter where you go, the raindrops will never leave you!"
"If you're not a C position, there's no point in staying here and breaking up the team. Yu Xun should go back to Korea to develop!"
Of course, among the divergent opinions, some passersby expressed cynicism:
"It's just an excuse that your body can't bear it. You're tired after lip-synching a few lines?"
"After using 101 to become popular, just kick it away, hahaha!"
“You stepped on so many people’s dreams and fought to the death, but now you just want to back out?”
"Xie Yuxun and Yu Xiaoxi are gone, what will the other sisters do? Have you ever considered others?"
"Break the group! Just disband!"
"Lemon Entertainment is really fed up. The popularity of its artists in Korea is completely transparent. Now they are obviously somewhat famous and they want to start a new business! Idiot!"
"The relationship between Xie Yuxun and the members is so good. This must be forced by the company! It must be like this!"
"Lucky Girls 101 disbanded just after debuting? It's so funny!"
Almost the entire online world is paying attention to this incident.
Five hours later, Lemon Entertainment’s life had exceeded 200,000 retweets, and the number of replies had exceeded 600,000!
The sky became misty and bright.
Early in the morning, after learning about this incident, many media and newspaper offices were full of passion and blood, and each one of them began to work overtime to push this news to users.
Xu Chengjin, general manager of South China Brokerage, had just gotten up. When he saw these Weibo push messages, he was so angry that he almost fainted in bed again.
What does it mean to complain first to the evildoer?
This is it!
Of course Xu Chengjin couldn't swallow this breath.
Backed by the three major video networks, even the two Lemon Entertainments are not afraid at all. Even if the other party is a top brokerage company in the industry, it is definitely not enough for the three major video networks that monopolize almost the entire online video industry.
But it's not enough to watch. "Produce 101" has been a large-scale program that has been worked hard for more than half a year and invested a huge amount of money. It has just begun to prepare to make a lot of money. But now something like this suddenly happens, this is definitely Xu Chengjin's worst experience.
A scene I don’t want to see.
After Lucky Girl 101 forms a group, the next two years will definitely be the best time to cut leeks.
But now, Xie Yuxun, Xiaoxi Changjun and others suddenly announced that they are quitting the group. This is simply an attempt to directly destroy this girl group.
After he finished washing, he didn't even have breakfast, so he hurriedly drove to the company.
"Have you contacted Mo Jingming?" Xu Chengjin asked the assistant with a gloomy face.
The assistant replied: "It's still the same. Mo Jingming went on a business trip and hasn't come back yet."
Xu Chengjin was furious. He took out his cell phone and rang Mo Jingming's cell phone again, "I'm sorry, the number you dialed is not in the service area..."
Hold!
Xu Chengjin threw his cell phone to the ground: "Call all the executives and have a meeting! Immediately!"
The assistant hurriedly went to inform.
Soon, all the senior management of the South China Brokerage Company appeared in the conference room.
"This matter cannot be delayed. The longer it is delayed, the greater the impact will be!"
"Yes, we must not sit back and ignore it. This not only represents our South China Company, but also represents the capital tycoons behind Youxun, Banana, and Lekan!"
"Although Lemon is a first-line brokerage company, it is not the absolute top broker. We must retaliate immediately and make them pay a huge price!"
"I have contacted the public relations department and am using trolls to guide public opinion."
"Mr. Xu, please make a statement quickly! This is Lemon Entertainment's breach of contract first!"
"Yes, contact the law firm and sue them!"
A group of senior executives chattered and put forward countless suggestions. The more Xu Chengjin listened, the more irritated he became, these idiots!
He knocked on the table: "Now is not the time to lose everything! If you can save it, try to save it! Why was our South China Agency established? It is to serve the "Produce 101" series of girl groups! If this first shot can't be fired, it will be a misfire.
Now, is it still necessary for our company to exist? After sanctioning the three members who left the team, what will happen to the remaining eight members? Disband?"
"Eight members... can form a group..." someone muttered.
"You're kidding!"
Xu Chengjin said coldly: "I promised the board of directors that within two years, not one of the eleven members will be missing! After two years, I will not care about their life or death, but now, the family must be in order!"
"They are all idols who came out of the training program. If there are only eight people, then this girl group will be incomplete, incomplete and sick in the hearts of fans!"
The conference room was silent.
"Lemon Entertainment has indeed taken the courage of a bear and a leopard. What they are doing now has touched the direct interests of the three major video networks: Youxun, Lekan, and Banana. If things end up with unpredictable results, Lemon
All entertainment affairs in the country will reach a dead end."
Xu Chengjin looked around and said slowly: "But, since even I have thought of this, then there is no reason for Mo Jingming, an old thief, to not think of it, so why should he take this step even if he fights to the death?
Chess? Tell me what you think."
The executives looked at each other, and soon everyone came up with their guesses.
"Probably Mo Jingming felt that Xie Yuxun's current popularity is comparable to that of a diva-level artist, so he took a risky move for the sake of his immediate interests!"
"I think so. Two years is too long. Lemon Entertainment can't wait that long."
"I think there is another reason. Although Mo Jingming is a little far from sophisticated, he is definitely a smart man. He cannot kill an egg with an egg. The most important thing is that the contract is currently in our hands, so no matter what is on the table,
Let’s keep it private, everything is in our best interest!”
"The most urgent task at hand is to contact Mo Jingming first and understand the specific situation. Any overloaded work arrangements are all illusions. He must have other purposes!"
"In addition, we must also issue a statement as soon as possible to guide public opinion."
"I can understand the two popular players Xie Yuxun and Yu Xiaoxi leaving the team, but this Chang Jun..."
"This is a stupid guy who helped people pay for his money after being sold. It's not worth mentioning."
After some discussion, Xu Chengjin dismissed the meeting, and then called Mo Jingming's number again, but still got the message that he was not in the service area.
He tried hard to calm down his irritable mood, and then asked his assistant to call the landline number of the general manager's office of Lemon Entertainment, but still could not get a valuable response.
Xu Chengjin's face turned blue and purple, and he almost had a myocardial infarction.
Eventually, he reported the matter to the board of directors.
Soon, Wang Rui, a member of the board of directors of the South China Agency and a top producer, came to the South China Agency. After learning about the situation, he used his mobile phone to call Mo Jingming.
"It's useless, it's not in the service area..."
Before Xu Chengjin could say anything, he heard Mo Jingming's old thief laughter coming from Wang Rui's phone.
The scene was silent for two seconds...
Xu Chengjin's face turned purple.
Wang Rui smiled, picked up the phone and put it to his ear: "Mr. Mo, I haven't seen you for a few months. Are you okay?"
"Oh, Brother Wang, you are so polite."
There was constant laughter on the phone: "Mo is really flattered by your sudden call!"
After Wang Rui exchanged a few pleasantries, he went straight to the topic: "Mr. Mo, you must also know the purpose of my call this time."
