Chapter 1577: Chapter 832: Abandon the Darkness for the Light!_2

Imagine the general manager of Penguin Video, why would he suddenly think of paving a way out for himself?

The reasoning is simple: Zhang Wu could clearly see that the future of Penguin Video and even Q Entertainment Media isn’t very bright. The achievements in film and television over these years have shown quite a bit. The high-quality productions by Feiyue Media, the skilled actors, and talented singers have all become favorites of netizens and audiences—this is what real popularity looks like.

The so-called top stars created by Q Entertainment Media can only be said to be superficial.

Zhang Wu understood this and figured he needed to look out for his own future, planning to leave Penguin Video and embrace Feiyue Media.

"Does this Zhang Wu have any skills? Let’s call him over to chat and find out. Miss An, could you contact him, please? Arrange a time when I can meet him personally," Ding Yue thought for a moment and decided to meet this general manager of Penguin Video in person.

Even though Feiyue Media and Penguin Video are still rivals, if Mr. Zhang Wu is indeed a talented industry elite, Ding Yue is still willing to cherish talent, and bygones can be bygones.

Besides, Ding Yue has no personal vendetta against Mr. Zhang Wu; he was just following the arrangements of Q Entertainment Media above him. The one with a grudge against Ding Yue is Mr. Chen Xueming, the chairman of Q Entertainment Media.

"Sure, Principal Ding."

An Yujia responded and immediately took out her phone, preparing to contact Zhang Wu.

"Wait a moment, maybe it’s inconvenient for Mr. Zhang to come see me. Ask him if he has time for a video chat with me, so we can talk," Ding Yue thought for a moment and decided to have a video chat first.

After all, if Zhang Wu were to come to Mist City, it might arouse some suspicion from Q Entertainment Media, and Zhang Wu might not have the opportunity or time either, as he is also a senior executive in Q Entertainment Media.

"Mm-hmm."

An Yujia nodded, then found Zhang Wu’s number on her phone and dialed.

It rang about seven or eight times before the call was answered.

"Hello, is this Mr. Zhang Wu?"

An Yujia asked.

"Yes, Miss An?"

Over the phone, Zhang Wu asked somewhat excitedly, "So, Miss An, are you willing to talk to me?"

"This matter has to be decided by our Principal Ding."

An Yujia said calmly.

"Oh yes, of course, the real boss behind Feiyue Group is this Principal Ding. So, is Principal Ding willing to talk to me?" Zhang Wu asked cautiously.

This Principal Ding is known to Zhang Wu, being the man behind Feiyue Group.

In general, all matters of Feiyue Group are handled by An Yujia, but for any major decisions, it’s got to be Principal Ding making the call.

This time, Principal Ding wanted to have a chat with him?

Seems like he’s taking him seriously.

"Yes, I wonder if Mr. Zhang has time now to have a video or voice chat with our Principal Ding?"

An Yujia asked.

"Now?"

"Yes, right now."

"Alright, could you wait a moment?" Zhang Wu asked.

"Of course."

An Yujia responded, then hung up the phone, informing Principal Ding to wait a moment for the video call from Zhang Wu.

Ding Yue waited calmly for a while, guessing that Zhang Wu needed to prepare to ensure he was alone for the video call.

About a minute later, Zhang Wu directly made a video call to An Yujia’s phone, not using Whatsapp video, but the phone’s own video function.

"Principal Ding, Mr. Zhang Wu is calling through video now."

Seeing this, An Yujia quickly handed her phone over to Principal Ding.

After taking the phone, Ding Yue connected to the video call with Zhang Wu.

"Hello, Principal Ding."

"Hello, Mr. Zhang."

After the video call began, they exchanged greetings.

"I heard that Mr. Zhang is interested in developing with our Feiyue Media, is that right?" Ding Yue quickly got to the point.

"Principal Ding, you are indeed direct. Yes, I think the development momentum of your Feiyue Media is quite good, a great place to stay," Zhang Wu said with a smile. "I wonder if Principal Ding would consider leaving a branch for me to perch?"

"Oh?"

Ding Yue also smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Zhang, wanting to come to Feiyue Media is not such an easy task."

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Wu asked.

"Without capability, we at Feiyue Group would certainly not take them in. While Mr. Zhang is the general manager of Penguin Video, surely you should have some awareness of how Penguin Video has been developing over these years?"

Ding Yue asked calmly.

"Sigh."

Zhang Wu sighed helplessly at the words, then said, "Indeed, Penguin Video, even Q Entertainment Media, is on the decline now."

"Mr. Zhang, what are your insights?"

Ding Yue asked.

Ding Yue wanted to see whether Zhang Wu understood the situation, knew the reasons behind Q Entertainment Media’s decline, and Feiyue Media’s rise during this period.

"Principal Ding, I personally think that a model like your Feiyue Media’s is the way to go further, and that’s the right path for the future. The cultural and entertainment appreciation capabilities of netizens are gradually improving. The era dominated by traffic is about to be over. The real traffic will be those actors and singers with skills and talents. Films and TV dramas are the same; productions that are crafted with quality and care are what audiences ultimately love."

Zhang Wu analyzed and said, "Those film and television works built on so-called traffic stars will eventually be buried in the dust of history. Not only that, they might also become the subject of ridicule among netizens in the future."

"Mm, continue."

After listening, Ding Yue thought that Zhang Wu did have some substance.

At least, in this aspect, his views are essentially the same as Ding Yue’s.

"Society is restless, but what is the reason for this restlessness? It’s nothing more than various rhythms and anxieties, and in fact, these rhythms and anxieties are inseparable from the Penguin Group."

Zhang Wu said helplessly, "Fan circles, from tearing each other down to blackmail, all of these trivial pursuits are products of Q Entertainment Media."

"Since you see things so clearly, Mr. Zhang, why don’t you steer Q Entertainment Media onto the right path, to save Penguin Video in your hands?" Ding Yue asked again.

"If I had a significant say, I wouldn’t be here looking to talk to you, Principal Ding."

Zhang Wu laughed coldly and said.

This guy, he’s quite straightforward.

It makes sense. If Zhang Wu’s views and suggestions could truly be adopted by Q Entertainment Media, he wouldn’t have come to him, wanting to turn to Feiyue Media in search of a place to stay.

It seems that Mr. Chen Xueming of Q Entertainment Media is truly short-sighted.

Despite having a talent like Zhang Wu with foresight under his command, he refuses to take his opinions into account. No wonder Q Entertainment Media has begun its decline.

"Mr. Zhang, you do speak candidly. Being straightforward, I personally admire you. If there comes a day when you no longer wish to stay at Penguin Video, Feiyue Media can open its doors for you. But Mr. Zhang, if you come to Feiyue Media, be prepared to truly integrate with us."

Ding Yue said seriously.

"Then, thank you, Principal Ding."

Zhang Wu’s tone suddenly grew solemn: "To thank Principal Ding for providing such an opportunity, let me kindly remind you that Mr. Chen from Q Entertainment Media is not an easy opponent. He will resort to any underhanded tactics. As they say, it’s easy to dodge an open spear but hard to guard against a hidden arrow—Principal Ding, be careful."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, it seemed Ding Yue had confirmed a suspicion in his mind.

Though Zhang Wu didn’t state it plainly, it basically confirmed that it was Mr. Chen from Q Entertainment Media’s handiwork that led to the malicious low rating of Feiyue Media’s "The Legend of Fairy Sword" on Douban.
