When it came time to dissolve the contract, the signing company refused to terminate it.
Now, who in the country didn't know that the Tong Family crisis was resolved? So, with his status as a movie emperor, Tong Junbing once again became a hot commodity. They weren't fools at the signing company, to just let such a cash cow walk away.
The signing company wasn't foolish, and neither was Tong Junbing. He had already decided to become his own boss. He wasn't interested in wasting time with a company that would later turn against him.
However, the company had the gall to demand a compensation fee of thirty million. Tong Junbing, in a fit of anger, took the company to court. He even kept the original recordings where the company first breached the contract, which meant that the actual termination fee should have been less than a million.
