Chu An didn’t have much of a reaction. He just sat up a little straighter.
“Right now, we don’t have to worry about funding, right?” At the end of his sentence, he was also a little uncertain. He looked at Gu Xiao with some doubt.
Gu Xiao smiled. “Of course, we naturally don’t lack funds.”
Ji Gao had a good grasp of her financial situation. If she really only had the two billion yuan that Ji Gao had compensated her with, she probably wouldn’t be able to last long under Ji Gao’s blockade.
However, even Ji Gao could not imagine that her previous variety shows and television dramas had already earned their company a lot of money.
Not to mention that their company had single-handedly made Lu Mo, Yang Jia, and the others popular. The endorsements they had received now were not bad. Although the company’s share of the profits was not too much, it was enough to be passable.
Chu An looked at Gu Xiao’s excited expression and understood that he didn’t need to worry too much about this matter, nor did he need to find connections to resolve this matter.
“Do we need to release the news?” Chu An asked.
After all, those actors were worried about the future of their company. As long as they could resolve this problem, the actors would naturally be able to calm down. As for the special effects, as long as they had the funds, even if no one in the country were willing to do business with them, they could still find a special effects team from abroad.
Gu Xiao shook her head. “Not for the time being. 1 have a better idea.”
Chu An looked at the sly glint in Gu Xiao’s eyes and sighed inwardly. He mourned for the person Gu Xiao was targeting for a few seconds.
He knew Gu Xiao very well, so he had never really angered her. Even he would not be able to withstand her anger.
Sure enough, not long after, Huang Tu and those special effects companies that wanted to boycott Star Brilliance suffered retribution.
The most experienced and capable vice president of Huang Tu resigned from Huang Tu. Many of the technical staff of the special effects companies that wanted to boycott Star Brilliance also resigned within a short period of time.
Especially that special effects company that had breached the contract with them. It was not a big company to begin with, and the more capable technical staff in it all resigned. Very quickly, the company, which was originally thriving, suddenly declined.
There were already many people in the industry who were paying attention to this blockade. When they saw so many people resigning, they were still a little confused.
However, when they saw that Star Brilliance had quickly formed a special effects department in such a short period of time, and most of the technicians in that special effects department were the people who had resigned from the special effects companies previously, they understood what had happened.
After that, the people in the industry saw how Gu Xiao had kept the vice president who had resigned from Huang Tu by her side. When she went out to discuss matters, she would also keep the vice president with her, looking like she had the intention to put that vice president in an important position.
When the CEO of Huang Tu saw this scene, it was said that he had even broken a few vases in a fit of anger.
The people in the circle also recognized Gu Xiao’s ability through this opportunity. For a moment, no one dared to provoke Gu Xiao again, afraid that Gu Xiao would poach someone from their company in the next second.
Even if Huang Tu and the special effects company knew that Gu Xiao was behind the wide-scale resignation of their staff, they could not say anything. After all, this kind of thing was common in the industry. Even if they could not keep their employees with their own ability, they could not say anything.
Gu Xiao’s swift and decisive actions not only shocked the other companies in the industry who wanted to kick her when she was down, but also the actors and celebrities who had been making a fuss earlier about wanting to terminate the contract.
After seeing Gu Xiao break the deadlock, many actors and celebrities who had terminated their contracts expressed their desire to return to the production team, but they were all rejected by Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao did not have any grudges against the people who left. After all, it was not wrong to want to protect themselves at that time. However, it was naturally impossible for her to accept these people again!
After stunning the people in the circle, Gu Xiao no longer appeared in public frequently.
She found Tian Xian, who had jumped ship from Huang Tu. “We agreed that as long as you’re willing to come over, Star Brilliance will be handed over to you. I will no longer interfere overly much in Star Brilliance.”
When Tian Xian heard Gu Xiao’s words, he looked at her with a complicated expression. He did not expect Gu Xiao to really do what she had said..
