Chapter 530: Mission Completed, Schrödinger’s Box
There were never shortages of netizens who had too much on their plate, nor were there shortages of powerful or well-informed people.
When Han Yi joined New Arts Culture, a press conference was held. Very soon, someone managed to dig out the agency’s situation.
As a result, the people were shocked with what they had found. ‘New Arts Culture was actually a small management agency.
‘There are quite a number of employees in the company, but other than Han Yi, there is only one artist, Lin Jiali.
‘Who is Lin Jiali...’
That actually became a question that the netizens were curious about.
When they searched online and saw Lin Jiali’s photo, many netizens... Did not know her as well. However, they did think she was pretty.
Meanwhile, some existing Findme app users realized. ‘Hold on, isn’t she the “top internet celebrity” of Findme app? She’s actually a celebrity?’
Based on this, one could see how miserable Lin Jiali’s popularity was and how low her reputation within the nation was...
However, after looking at Lin Jiali’s acting background, everyone realized that...’It’s actually not too bad. Apart from acting in a popular television drama with Han Yi, she has also acted in many popular television dramas. However, due to various reasons, she isn’t very famous.’
At that point, the netizens were even more curious. How could such a small management agency with only a C or D-ranked celebrity manage to sign Han Yi?
‘Isn’t Han Yi afraid that she would not be able to get a role in this agency?’
With that thought in mind, the netizens kept pondering...
Along the way, they dug up the case between New Arts Culture and Chu Hong, as well as Han Yi’s departure.
And so, a shocking piece of news came out. ‘Han Yi is actually an artiste from a New Artis Culture right from the start! She had been forcefully poached by Yang Mi using improper methods!?’
‘So, she’s not actually leaving, she’s returning to her original agency!’
The piece of news continued to brew and grow bigger continuously, which also increased the popularity of the news about Han Yi’s departure in the meantime.
With the increase in popularity, the netizens were even more enthusiastic to dig deeper into the new culture. In the end... They accidentally dug up Su Yang’s profile.
Truth be told, Su Yang did not expect that his profile would be dug out. After all, he had always been moving under the radar. Even the stocks of New Arts Culture were held by the headquarters and he had none under his name.
However, with the help of advanced technology, all they had to do was conduct a slight comparison to find out that New Arts Culture’s stocks were all being held by Jiadian Group. Furthermore, Jiadian Group also had subsidiaries such as Jiadian Technology, Jiadian E-Commerce, Jiadian Pictures, Jiadian Healthcare and a few others.
The netizens did not know about the other subsidiaries since they weren’t famous.
However, Jiadian Technology was very famous since it was the company that developed Findme app! It was also the first company to develop artificial intelligence! It was Su Yang’s company who had successfully battled against hordes of rivals.
At that point, the netizens were dumbfounded. ‘Han Yi has signed with an agency that... Developed artificial intelligence?
‘What the h*ll?
‘Does she intend on having an AI to be her manager?
‘Would the AI be able to get her jobs then?
‘What exactly does she see in this agency?
‘Could it really be because of her past relationship with the agency?
‘In that case, she should have some feelings with Yang Mi since she’s been supported by the latter for the past few years...’
Not only were the netizens confused, Su Yang was also puzzled by that question as well.
Hence, he had a good chat with Lin Jiali.
In the end, he learned more secrets from Lin Jiali.
It turned out that Han Yi had not been very happy in Yang Mi’s company, mainly because of 2 things.
The first was that they placed too much emphasis on results. As an A-ranked celebrity in the country and the representative of the 4 leading actresses, Yang Mi had started her own entertainment company, Jiahang Pictures. She used her resources in the entertainment industry to nurture the newcomers she wanted to support.
Because she had a good eye for acting and selecting people, she managed to bring out a few rather exceptional newbies. Because of that, her company was also growing steadily.
Therefore, a few major investors had their eyes on her company and were willing to invest in Jiahang Pictures.
During the negotiation process, to protect the interests of the investors, Jiahang Pictures and the investors signed a Bet-on agreement. Jiahang Pictures needed to accumulate a net profit of 400 million yuan after taxes within the 3 years of 17, 18 and 19. Therefore, Yang Mi was under a lot of pressure to perform and obtain results.
In order to complete the Bet-on, Yang Mi squeezed herself dry, including the artistes under her by accepting shows, ambassadorial jobs, and advertisements continuously.
Although this increased the company’s profits, it caused the reputation of Jiahang Picture’s projects in recent years to be poor.
Therefore, Han Yi had always wanted to escape from those kinds of days. She did not want to sacrifice her future for the sake of her current interests.
Secondly, their values did not match. Not only did Jiahang Pictures have its own artiste management business, but it also had its own film and television projects. The most successful film in recent years was “Eternal Love”.
However, “”Eternal Love”” was a plagiarized article and it received countless criticisms online. Han Yi did not want to shoot this drama at all. However, because of her contract, she was forced to shoot it.
Although the drama was led by Yang Mi and herself whereby its viewership ratings were off the charts, causing both of them to become more well-known, Han Yi did not want to film a plagiarised drama.
Although there was the possibility of her being ungrateful to her benefactor, the professionalism as an artiste within her had hoped to respect the original creator and their genuine product.
In fact, her professionalism was not met with criticisms by the netizens. However, when the agency asked her to shoot the sequel of “Eternal Love”, Han Yi made up her mind to leave the agency.
Hence, those 2 factors, coupled with Tan Mei finding her and telling her the truth about her being poached, which later ended up with that very agency being acquired by a capable boss who hoped for her return, Han Yi was utterly tempted.
Therefore, she risked her life, took a loan and escaped from the grasps of the agency.
On the other hand, there was actually a reason why Jiahang Pictures accepted her resignation.
That was because their contract with Han Yi was coming to an end, but Jiahang Pictures was still several tens of millions of yuan away from reaching 400 million yuan. If the Bet-on failed, Jiahang Pictures would collapse completely. Therefore, when Han Yi was willing to pay the full amount of the penalty to terminate her contract, Jiahang Pictures finally accepted her resignation due to the pressure.
After listening to Lin Jiali’s explanation, Su Yang only had one thought. ‘Han Yi’s morals are so upright... She’s practically a model of morality.’
He was not being sarcastic, he was actually serious.
Han Yi treated both Lin Jiali and the 2 agencies wholeheartedly. She did not owe anyone or any agency anything. When it came to work, she was professional and positive.
Su Yang only felt that...’if such a person doesn’t become popular, who could?
‘She’s a role model that the Heavens have sent down to the entertainment industry!
‘Furthermore, I met Han Yi before she lost her money. At that time, she was passionate towards her fans and got along well with her manager. Hence, I felt that she’s a positive idol...’
‘I’m so tempted to ask Lin Jiali to compare Han Yi and herself to see the gap between them. There’s a reason why she’s not popular!”‘
The news of Han Yi changing agencies was still spreading, but Su Yang had taken his energy away from it.
After all, in the next month or so, it would be good enough if Han Yi could successfully transfer her work to New Arts Culture. Thus, there would not be anything else that he needed to handle.
Most importantly, after Han Yi officially signed a contract with New Arts Culture and Lin Jiali and Han Yi coexisted peacefully, Su Yang’s Advanced Random Mission was finally completed.
[Ding, Advanced Random Mission (Bronze-ranked) completed. Reward settlement in progress. Please check the reward.]
After being busy for so many days, he finally completed this mission. Of course, Su Yang wanted to get a good reward. Therefore, he rubbed his hands and clicked on the [Check Reward] button with anticipation.
Suddenly, a pop-up window appeared before his eyes. [Completed Advanced Random Mission (Bronze-ranked), Completion Rank: B, Rare Reward. B-ranked Prize Voucher received.]
‘B-ranked?
‘The last time I completed an Advanced Random Mission, my [Completion Rank] was A. Obviously my result this time isn’t as good as the last.
‘I wonder why I’ve received a lower evaluation this time around.’
He thought about it for a long time and realized that he had done it perfectly. There was nothing wrong with it.
The only thing that could be considered as a problem was that he had not signed Han Yi on his own. ‘Does that count? I don’t think so...
‘Or could it be because I forcefully used my ability and pushed it across too much?
‘Would this even result in a lower evaluation?’
Because he had only completed two high-level random missions, Su Yang could not come up with a convincing answer.
In the end, he could only assume that there were some things that he did not notice.
No matter what, Su Yang felt that it was good enough that he could complete a mission with a moderate [Completion Rank].
That’s right, it was third tier.
This was also based on Su Yang’s analysis.
In the 7 or 8 months that he had interacted with the system, he realized that the system was very strict, and the differences between each rank were unified.
He had come into contact with that type of alphabet classification in the second Silver Ability lottery box. There were six ping pong balls, S, A, B, C, D and E.
In that case, B-rank was obviously an average rating.
Therefore, Su Yang was quite happy to receive such an evaluation. After all, he did not have to contribute anything, his Bronze Point was not wasted as well.
‘The Bronze Point added onto [Verbal Cannon] is extremely worth it.’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang chose [Accept Reward]. He wanted to see what a B-ranked Prize Voucher was like.
After Su Yang made his choice, a small box appeared out of thin air before him. On the box was a line of words. [Open the box. Your reward will be determined the moment the box is opened.]
Su Yang was speechless.
‘What is this?
‘Schrödinger’s box?
‘The thing that I would choose is filled within the box in the form of probability. If I don’t open it, I won’t know what I’m getting. However, the moment I opened it, the probability inside the box would collapse, confirming the reward I would receive?
‘I’m probably missing out on something that’s being described by the system since I’ve got limited knowledge on quantum mechanics...’
Facing the box that could drive the scientific community crazy, Su Yang gently opened the box.
Sure enough, there was a black Prize Voucher lying quietly inside. The Prize Voucher was made of metal and looked very thin. There were beautiful patterns carved around the voucher and in the middle were the words: [Advanced Life Evolution]!
‘[Advanced Life Evolution Prize Voucher]?
‘I never expected that I would receive this Prize Voucher.’
Su Yang had once received such a prize before and it was extremely useful. It could allow any item to undergo an advanced life evolution and become a living human like Pool and Janet.
There were some drawbacks as well, the Prize Voucher could not be used on items that had already received points. Therefore, after Su Yang obtained the Prize Voucher, he did not give it to Little Deeny or Little Hus. Instead, he gave it to the green bamboo forest in the backyard.
The green bamboo forest in the backyard did not let him down. It turned into a beautiful lady dressed in green. She had a gentle demeanor and always liked to call Su Yang “dear husband”, Qing Zhu.
Therefore, Su Yang was very excited to receive this [Advanced Life Evolution Prize Voucher].
‘I can turn an item into a monster again, even turning it directly into a human form. How can this not be exciting?’
Hence, after receiving the Prize Voucher, Su Yang could not help but look around the room.
‘What item should I use the [Advanced Life Evolution Prize Voucher] on this time?
