Showbiz: Barred from Signing Domestic Actresses, I Turn Around and Go Abroad

In a single day, the Chinese entertainment industry is rocked to its foundations. Dozens of actresses turn their backs on Li Chen, the entertainment mogul who built half the industry, choosing to terminate their contracts and jump ship.

And that's not all. Every talent agency in the country joins forces to blacklist him.

Zhao Xiaogu: "Li Chen gave me a contract with extremely harsh terms. I had to get up earlier than a chicken and go to bed later than a dog, and I only got subsistence pay each month. It was more twisted than the Korean entertainment industry."

Reba: "He even hinted that I could trade certain favors for better opportunities."

Li Xin: "Li Chen is not only stingy, he's a pervert. He kept harassing me at the company."

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Li Chen is speechless. They won't let him sign domestic actresses? Then he'll go overseas instead.

So Whiplash makes a name for itself, and The Professional heads to Hollywood.

One song, Baby, wins a Grammy. He becomes a godfather of world music and a godfather of film.
