CHAPTER 612: CHAPTER 584: THE CAPITAL PANICS

"Little Deer Ridge? A new film base?!" She sat up straight suddenly, quickly opened the live broadcast replay, her expression growing increasingly grim.

An eco-park, technology-enhanced, free permanent residency for their crews... Each point precisely targeted the industry’s pain points.

What was even scarier was that Yan Yueqing actually bypassed the capital barriers of traditional film bases directly, forcing the vested interests of traditional film cities to fight back, completely subverting industry rules!

"Is she crazy?!" Tan Ru’s fingers trembled slightly as she immediately dialed the phone number of the capital backers.

On the other end of the line, the initially calm voice now carried a rare tension: "We’ve just detected data; seventeen first-line crews are already contacting All Stars Entertainment, including five original S+ projects that we invested in..."

Tan Ru’s fingernails almost dug into the palm of her hand, her voice icy: "Is she trying to overturn the table directly?"

The capital party was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Her ’Trust Rating System’... if it can truly be implemented, then in the future, when crews choose a base, it won’t be based on who offers the highest rebates, but on who provides the most transparent services."

Tan Ru’s breath caught.

— Yan Yueqing has not only built a new base, but she’s also rewriting the rules of the game!

And at this moment, the comment section was still going wild:

[Holy crap! Free residency?! This move really slaps traditional film cities in the face!]

[Many locations charge sky-high venue fees, but President Yue just flipped the table, hahaha]

[Capital: No, why isn’t she following the usual playbook?!]

Tan Ru stared at the screen intently, finally realizing—

Yan Yueqing’s move, is not about competition at all, it’s a dimensionality reduction attack!

She spent a fortune to deliberately create a new type of film base, just to fight against the existing capital.

If capital wants to block her way, she simply opens a new path.

Telling everyone: Yan Yueqing is not afraid of the power of capital...

Indeed...

Previously, whether it was her Baby Plan, Moon Project, or Wandering Base, no matter how much was supposedly invested, it was just small potatoes in the eyes of capital! Not even worth mentioning!

All Stars did improve significantly after Jiang Chuanning was parachuted in, but Yan Yueqing, after all, was not the Power Holder of All Stars, no matter how much netizens called her "President Yue," she had no real ability to contend with capital.

Later, once Xingyue changed its owners, they faintly noticed something was off.

The largest shareholder of Xingyue... was also named Jiang...

And once Yan Yueqing left, Xingyue’s executives were powerless, obediently handing over shares and leaving, making her the absolute controlling entity of Xingyue???

Such methods closely resembled All Stars’ operations!

Those capitalists realized belatedly—

Perhaps, Jiang Chuanning of All Stars is merely a smoke screen, and the real Power Holder is Yan Yueqing?

But is that possible? Could someone truly trust another person enough to hold 70% of a company’s shares, while they remain the puppet master behind the scenes?

Laughable!

A shadow owner without a single share? That’s like handing over your fate directly to others!

Some capital parties inquired about the relationship between Yan Yueqing and Jiang Family? Naturally, they found nothing.

They dare not speculate, completely at a loss, and decisively took hard measures—

So what about Jiang Chuanning? So what about Yan Yueqing?

No matter their relationship?!

Mainland Entertainment ultimately is under their dictation!

So what if you acquire All Stars, Xingyue? Does that make a difference? Can a mere second-tier entertainment company survive on actors alone?

They might not be able to meddle in ad endorsements for the time being, but there are many aspects of the film industry where they can intervene.

Venues, publicity, review processes... how much strength does Yan Yueqing have to confront them?

Hengdian, S Mountain, Wxi... as long as they unite to refuse any convenience to the crews, where else can your actors film?

Who bought the trending searches? Who decided the cinema screenings? Who released the media cover reports? Without capital’s approval, films shot by the company can hardly be released!

Sensitive topics, scale issues, content adjustments... they can easily find an excuse to delay her project indefinitely.

The power of capital has never been something a single person can shake.

Yan Yueqing might have some money, but how long can she continue to spend to cover these companies?

That’s not an investment in the tens of millions!

Dropping billions, and perhaps not even a splash would be seen.

Would the Yan Family let Yan Yueqing waste their resources?

Of course not!

So, capital was content to suppress the new drama shoots of All Stars, planning to use this as a breakthrough point to gradually dismantle the alliance that appeared fragile.
