It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 916 The audacity of top capital!

With the idea of ​​waiting and watching, Chen Fei temporarily chose to be a bystander as the crew of "No Other Love" started to "whitewash" again.

He still believed in Tong Gang quite a bit. After all, he was such a high-ranking leader, so he wouldn't lie to others, right?

But to his surprise, the people from the "No Other Love" crew seemed to have found a powerful backer and started to act arrogant again!

On the morning of the 4th, after choosing to fully support Dai Liren, Zhao Yanzi posted a new Weibo:

"I'm drunk. I really hate those media who take things out of context and those haters who do it for the sake of blackening! You all know everything, so why do you make the world more complicated and vulgar just for the sake of profit?
If the world is clean, can we all breathe fresh air? Maybe some news is not valuable because it is too ordinary, but why can't we be simple? Positive energy is the oxygen we really need..."

This Weibo post seems to be criticizing black fans and the media, but the implication is that both he and the crew were wronged.

As for the online criticisms of her and other crew members, they are all false and they appear just for the sake of bashing her.

At the same time, less than half an hour after Zhao Yanzi posted this Weibo, the recently controversial teacher Dai also posted a Weibo to clarify:

“Regarding the rumors circulating on the Internet, I have always upheld the principle of freedom of public speech and I have a clear conscience, so I have not responded to such messages to date.

But now, my non-response has become a handle for others to misinterpret and spread rumors, which I absolutely cannot accept!

I find it really hard to accept the criticism and questioning of me by a big director in the circle. I am against oppression and respect other people's ideas. I have never been involved in or joined any politics, let alone exchange of interests with certain organizations.

As soon as Dai Liren responded, the crew of No Other Love followed suit and issued another open letter:
“No matter what era or what kind of media, they should be the guardians of social fairness and justice… I hope that anyone who uses rumors to pursue traffic and attention will not forget this. For any behavior that crosses the legal red line, we will resort to law and defend our rights to the end!”

While these three measures were being taken simultaneously, many internet trolls once again emerged on Weibo and began to bombard the platform in turns.

A series of press releases such as "Zhao Yanzi's nationality", "Huo Jianhua Ziwei Gege's wedding date has been set", "Ziwei Gege uses her son to force marriage", "Ali Pictures once again introduces Hollywood imported blockbusters" all appeared and began to divert the attention of netizens.

It has to be said that when Alibaba’s giant public relations department really started to operate, the energy it unleashed was undoubtedly terrifying!

However, netizens are still fighting back and have not backed down in the short term:
"Teacher Dai's acting is really good. His split personality is a perfect performance. There are photos and videos to prove all the lousy things he did, but now he refuses to admit it in order to make money in the mainland? It's really interesting."

"There are still people speaking up for Zhao Yanzi? My goodness, have they become so brain-dead?"

"So, there are no more actors in the mainland film industry? Do we have to choose these two?"

"Tsk tsk, investors are starting to come in? Many highly praised comments have been deleted. Does this mean that this matter will be left unresolved?"

"This kind of thing is actually very easy to handle! Dai Liren can just stand up and shout at the press conference that he is from China and Taiwan belongs to China, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

"He has something on his mind, how could he possibly say something like that?"

Scrolling to the end of the netizens’ comments, it is clear that the number of questioning posts quickly reached more than 500.

But when Chen Fei clicked the refresh button, the number of posts dropped to more than 200 in an instant.

"What's the situation on Weibo?" He subconsciously picked up his phone and prepared to contact the person in charge of Weibo.

But as soon as the phone screen turned on, he stopped again.

Although he has a considerable say on Weibo, Alibaba, as a big investor and one of Weibo's shareholders, can compete with him on the Weibo platform in terms of influence in all aspects.

It is meaningless for the two sides to compete in public opinion.

He restored the post and Alibaba deleted it. If they continue to fight like this, the best they can do is end in a draw.

So, we still have to wait!

We have to wait until the higher-level unit that Tong Gang mentioned officially speaks out and kills them with one strike.

And his current role seems to have become the person who lights the "guiding candle".

"I don't know how long this investigation and evidence collection will take?"

Chen Fei muttered to himself while browsing other news.

There are actually quite a lot of events happening in the film and television industry today.

On the other hand, Huayi held a premiere ceremony for the animated film "Rock Mastiff", which was exclusively produced by their company.

The invitation letter was naturally sent to Chen Fei, but he did not go. Instead, he sent a manager to make a trip.

Huayi seems to be very confident about entering the animation film industry. It started with a huge investment of 3.6 million yuan and invited a Hollywood producer to serve as the director.

It’s just that this dubbing team is a bit strange. Looking around, except for Feng Xiaogang, all the others are crosstalk actors from Deyun Club!

For this animated movie, at the beginning of the promotion, Huayi shouted the slogan of surpassing "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Big Fish and Begonia".

But there seem to be many variables hidden in this.

Just when many media and netizens were shocked that Faye Wong and Dou Jintong, who rarely appear in public, went to the premiere of "Rock Mastiff", the screenwriter of the film actually published a long Weibo post titled "Capitalists are the owners of theaters, but the audiences are the masters of the movies"!

Chen Fei took a quick look and could clearly see that Huayi was criticizing Wanda.

According to the film's screenwriter Zheng Jun, this animated film ranked first in attendance when it was previewed, but now he has heard that a certain cinema chain is going to ban the film, which is undoubtedly something he cannot accept.

The appearance of this Weibo post attracted the attention of many media outlets.

So at the premiere, a reporter directly asked Zheng Jun what he thought about the rumors that Wanda was going to ban movies produced by Huayi?

Zheng Jun’s response is quite interesting.

He said: "To be honest, I don't actually believe it. I think it should be a rumor. We Chinese-language films should not kill each other at this critical juncture, but should be united in facing the outside world. I believe Wanda should have the same idea.

I just noticed that the screening schedule for Rock Mastiff is indeed a bit small, I don’t know why? Maybe it will change when the film is officially released? "

This wave of responses directly puts itself on the side of the disadvantaged, while also labeling Wanda as "domineering" and bringing the rumors that were originally circulating in secret directly to the surface.

For a time, there was a burst of heated discussions on the Internet.

Ever since Ye Ning jumped from Wanda to Huayi at the beginning of the year, rumors have been circulating in the industry that Wanda Cinemas is about to ban Huayi's films.

Although the two parties involved have never responded to the rumors, and there has been no deliberate targeting before, now that Zheng Jun’s response and long Weibo post have been released, the media naturally became excited!

So, as soon as the premiere of "Rock Mastiff" ended, all kinds of "eye-catching" press releases popped up.

"Zheng Jun revealed the 'hidden rules of cinemas' for the first time. The screening schedule of 'Rock Mastiff' was lower than the target average, which seemed to be intentional by Wanda Cinemas."

"According to major cinema chains, the average national screening rate of Rock Mastiff on the first day was about 9.6%, which is extremely inconsistent with its production cost. It is obvious that some large cinema chains are deliberately lowering the screening rate."

"The commercial competition between Wanda and Huayi has spread to the film schedules of both parties, which is undoubtedly very detrimental to the development of Chinese-language films. I hope the relevant departments can mediate..."

There is no need to guess, these reports must have been released by someone specially hired by Huayi.

The purpose is obvious, which is to force Wanda Cinemas to increase the screening schedule of "Rock Mastiff" due to pressure from public opinion.

“I don’t know how Wanda Cinemas will respond.”

Chen Fei muttered to himself, feeling inexplicably excited.

In his opinion, compared with the tit-for-tat confrontation between himself and Emperor Entertainment Group, the "scale of the battle" between Wanda and Huayi will only be larger!
After all, these two are not small film and television companies, but two of the top capital giants in the industry!
……

The time has come on January 7st.

Early in the morning, many hot news appeared on the Internet.

"In response to the ban rumors, Wanda Cinemas has officially issued a response: the remarks are pure nonsense. Wanda Cinemas has never issued any "ban" instructions in any written or oral form within the company. We also ask certain media not to spread rumors..."

“Ali Pictures released an announcement: The company has reached a distribution agreement with Annapurna Pictures, a top Hollywood production company, and will subsequently release its epic film "Ben-Hur", starring Hollywood's top star Johnny Depp. The film will be released on the 29th of this month, so stay tuned!”

"The Hollywood blockbuster Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows grossed 2 million yuan in three days, successfully leading the summer box office."

"Director Guan Hu once again posted a new Weibo post, saying: The Internet should not be an outlet for violence. Having a good and calm judgment, or even criticism, is beneficial to the collective environment in which we live!

I am the same. I need to make sure all the facts before I speak out. This should not be underestimated. So, it will take time to verify whether it is really correct, right? "

Anyone who pays special attention to Weibo will find that since yesterday, various film, television and entertainment information has been constantly refreshing, one after another landing on Weibo's hot search list.

Anyone who knows the inside story knows that Weibo is trying to cover up all the negative news about the movie "No Other Love".

I have to say that Alibaba’s public relations team has really put in a lot of effort.

Looking around, there is no news about "No Other Love" on the entertainment headlines of major portals or the hot search lists on Weibo.

Angry netizens gathered under Guan Hu's Weibo and blasted him:
"Isn't this fact clear yet? Don't act like the victim and pretend to be so high and mighty."

"Don't you check the information before posting on Weibo? Can you recharge your IQ before taking sides? You are going too far when criticizing netizens. I just want to ask you, what's the matter with that Japanese army picture?"

"We are talking about stance, not character! Filmmakers and entertainers who don't have a sense of patriotism will surely produce things that harm people!"

"Netizens in Taiwan are scolding him, and you are still speaking up for him? How ridiculous."

"I now find these public figures quite funny. When they disagree with something, they act like the netizens are all idiots and want to kill these untouchables."

At this time, in the large conference room of Huayi Company, Guan Hu was sitting with his legs crossed, leisurely browsing Weibo.

Instead of getting angry at the insults that flooded his Weibo posts, he seemed quite happy about it.

He enjoyed the feeling that many people disliked him but could not kill him. "Haha, big director, big capital? They are nothing in front of bigger capital. Aren't they still suppressed?"

There were a lot of people in the conference room, and everyone could probably guess who Guan Hu was making fun of when he heard what he said.

Ye Ning, who was sitting not far away, gave him a cold look and inexplicably felt sad for this guy.

Others may not know what kind of person Chen Fei is, but he knows him very well!

That guy looks harmless, but he has a lot of evil ideas in his mind.

Anyone who offends him seriously may suffer disaster at any time.

And the fucked up thing is, even if they are in big trouble, most people don’t even know who the mastermind behind it is!
On this point, Ye Ning truly admires him!

Nowadays, young people have very bad tempers. Most of them take revenge on the spot without considering any subsequent impact.

But the Chen Fei he knew was different.

This guy is very able to hold his temper, like a smiling tiger, and he really likes to stab people in the back!
Thinking of this, he even started to have a headache.

After all, the relationship between Huayi and Feiyue Film and Television is not good, and it is hard to say when they will have a conflict in the future.

But facing Chen Fei, he really had no confidence!

Of course, it is too early to say this now. What needs to be dealt with urgently are a series of problems and troubles regarding "Rock Mastiff".

In the conference room, after Guan Hu finished speaking, no one spoke up for a while.

Because everyone has common interests, no one will speak out to refute him.

However, this does not mean that everyone will agree with and support him.

After all, the bad things Dai Liren did were no secret to everyone, and many people actually looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts.

But out of respect for Guan Hu, no one said anything and just complained silently in their hearts.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wang Zhonglei, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, spoke slowly and set the main theme of today's meeting:
"'Rock and Roll Tibetan Mastiff' will be released in two days. Are all departments ready?"

Since Ye Ning was the person in charge of the cinema chain, he nodded first and said, "We will cooperate well and schedule the films to the maximum extent possible, with full capacity..."

"There's no problem with the publicity and promotion either. The distribution department is already working at full capacity..."

"The production team will continue to follow up on the promotion, and several publicity channels have been determined."

Responses continued to ring out, and without exception, all were good news.

But there is one key that cannot be avoided.

Zheng Jun's voice was a little muffled, and he sighed without much interest: "Alas, this scheduling has a big impact."

When this topic was mentioned, everyone in the meeting room fell silent.

Many people were looking at Ye Ning out of the corner of their eyes.

After all, before this, there were no conflicts between Wanda and Huayi, and the two companies even had some film and television business dealings and cooperation from time to time.

The reason why this situation happened now is mainly because Ye Ning and a group of senior executives of Wanda Cinema Line jumped ship.

This contradiction cannot be resolved at all. After all, things have developed to this point. Can we let Ye Ning continue to return to Wanda?
This is absolutely impossible. Ye Ning's ability is undoubtedly strong, and the two brothers of the Wang family will definitely not let him leave.

"There is no need to discuss too much about the scheduling of films. As long as the quality of our films is good enough, I believe the box office will be good.

Moreover, even if Wanda is the only cinema chain that lowers its screening schedule, it will not actually affect the overall situation. After all, Wanda is not the only one dominating the domestic cinema chain, right?
When the film's reputation explodes and the attendance rate remains high for a long time, other cinema chains will naturally increase their screening schedules, and the impact of Wanda Cinemas will naturally be minimized..."

After Wang Zhonglei's explanation, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and even Zheng Jun had a smile on his face.

Only Ye Ning was still a little worried.

As his former employer, he has a deep understanding of Wanda.

If the only method they have is to slightly control the screening schedule, it would be a bit too naive.

Besides, how easy is it to expect Wanda to just give in?
……

It was evening time.
After finishing a day's work, Fade Chen rubbed his sore wrists and walked out of the company.

Liu Yifei made an appointment with Shu Chang to go shopping today. The two girls said that they were going to see a movie after dinner, so they forgot about Chen Fei.

He had no other activities in the evening, so he prepared to go back to the villa to rest.

However, just as he got into the car, the phone suddenly rang.

When I picked up the phone, I saw Tong Gang's name on the caller ID.

"Hello? Director Tong?"

When the call was connected, Fade Chen started the car, but did not drive out immediately.

"Are you getting impatient? You can check Weibo now. Some units have already started to speak out."

"Really?"

Out of curiosity, Chen Fei opened Weibo with another mobile phone in the car.

Looking around, at the No. 1 position on Weibo's hot search list, there is an article released by the official Weibo account of "Kung Fu Youth League".

The title of the article is so eye-catching!
This article tells you why Zhao Yanzi, Dai Liren and "No Other Love" were generally condemned and boycotted by netizens.

Chen Fei clicked on this Weibo post and read it with great interest.

At a glance, the entire long article clearly sorts out the entire process of this public opinion incident, and also releases a lot of hard evidence, such as news reports, photos, and videos from Taiwan Province when Dai Moumou participated in the toxic activities.

There is even a summary sentence at the end of the article: "When we look at a person, we don't look at what he says, but what he does!"

After reading the article, Fade Chen immediately asked the phone call which had not yet been hung up: "Director Tong, so this is the unit that you mentioned before that will speak out?"

"Huh? What? Isn't it enough for the group to speak up? This is already a warning and a reprimand."

Fade Chen muttered, "I just feel that the wording is not strong enough. I'm afraid that the other party will not repent..."

While speaking, he was still scrolling down, ready to see the netizens' attitudes.

However, the next second, the phone screen suddenly flashed, and the entire article disappeared without a trace, replaced by a paragraph:

"Due to the violation of the content of this article, it has been temporarily blocked and will be released again after modification. We apologize for the inconvenience..."

"Huh?!" Fade Chen frowned, "Why is the article gone?"

"What? The article is gone?" Tong Gang's voice on the other end of the phone was also filled with deep surprise!
"Yes, it's gone!"

Chen Fei answered with certainty, because he refreshed the page several times, but the content of the article still did not appear, but disappeared without a trace.

"I'll go and ask what's going on." Tong Gang hung up the phone directly.

Chen Fei did not leave the parking space in a hurry, but waited for news with great interest.

He vaguely felt that something big might happen this time!

Sure enough, within five minutes, the Gongqingtuan posted a new Weibo.

"There are too many things that are not satisfactory in this world, but life must go on. Good night, Tuanzi... I feel so wronged that Tuantuan's article was deleted? A Singaporean is running rampant in our country. Who is protecting him?"

Chen Fei's eyes suddenly widened!
"What the hell!? How dare you delete the group's articles? Has Ali's hand stretched so far?"

But the next second, he couldn't help laughing again.

Originally, he felt that the group's voice was a little too "soft", and the warning seemed a little too bland.

But now, this article has been deleted!

The “young one” got beaten, and if the “old one” doesn’t come out, won’t he be ridden on the neck and shit on by others?

"Jingle Bell!!!"

The urgent phone ring suddenly rang again.

"Hello? Director Tong?"

"It has been confirmed that someone did ask Weibo to delete the group's article."

"Look, I told you, this unit clearly doesn't have enough energy."

"Haha, they are so bold!" Tong Gang's voice was filled with anger: "If that's the case, then get out of here completely. Don't leave any of them alive. Get away!"
