Chapter 1121: Defeated! Defeated miserably!
1 month 8 number.

It was already 12: in the morning, but in the several news media companies that were friendly with Walton Pictures, the exclusive entertainment news editing departments were still brightly lit, with busy figures coming and going.

In more than 5 hours, it will be dawn.

By then, an entertainment news that will shock the entire United States will officially appear on the front pages of these media outlets!
At Fox News, editor-in-chief Tessa Nixon looked serious and focused.

She turned on her computer, logged into her email, and clicked on the latest email sent to her by her subordinates.

After carefully reviewing it, she skillfully moved the email to the headline of the Fox News website, and deliberately made the title bold and black.

[Harvey Weinstein, P. Diddy, and Epstein-style events reappear in Hollywood, and Warner CEO Kevin Tsujihara's sex trafficking incident is exposed! ]

This title is like a bombshell. If nothing unexpected happens, once it is released, it will definitely cause a huge uproar in the entertainment industry!
You know, the number of people going to court and LAPD, FBI and other departments to sue Diddy and Epstein is still increasing.

And as time goes by, the "Lolita Island" incident becomes more and more serious!
Victims continue to appear on Twitter, Google and other websites, accusing Loli Island of filthiness and brutality... and the scope of those involved continues to expand.

No one had expected that even the ALS physicist who was paralyzed in a wheelchair was involved in the "Lolita Island" incident!
Based on this, the "women's rights movement" has been gaining momentum across the United States in recent days.

A large number of women took to the streets, raised banners, and chanted slogans while marching:

“Demand political equality, resist social discrimination, do not regard women as mere sexual objects, eliminate gender roles and prejudices, and pay attention to women’s equal rights in the fields of globalization, science and technology, and environmental protection…”

As the crimes of P. Diddy and Epstein become more and more serious, the heat and power of the women's rights movement have become more and more exaggerated, and it has even reached an extremely boiling peak!
Affected by this, Hollywood has been unusually quiet recently.

Those "domestic violence incidents" in the past have almost disappeared recently, and the status of female stars and actresses has risen immediately and dramatically!
Therefore, in the current situation, anyone who offends these feminists is simply seeking death!

In front of the computer screen, Tessa Nixon was looking at the specific content of the article.

According to reliable sources, Kevin Tsujihara's crimes include extramarital affairs and power-for-sex transactions with many female stars and actresses, including British actress Charlotte Kirk, and he even helped them get roles based on sexual services!

Video, audio, and text evidence are all available, and some actresses have personally accused Kevin Tsujihara of coercing and threatening them to have sex, and that he would force them to ban him if they didn't want to...

Every word, every video, and every recording is like a sharp blade, piercing straight into the core of the incident!
This information was collected by Amy Knott, and most of it was obtained through improper means.

But no media outlet would pay attention to the source of the news. They only focused on the core of the incident, namely - Warner CEO Kevin Tsujihara!

After carefully reading the article, Tessa Nixon leaned back in her chair, picturing the scene after the news was released.

By then, Hollywood will be in chaos and public opinion will surge like a surging tide.

Kevin Tsujihara's career will surely come to an end, and those voices that were once suppressed by his power may take this opportunity to surge to the surface...

At this moment, Tessa Nixon took a deep breath, her eyes full of determination.

She knows very well that the news in her hands is not just a piece of entertainment gossip, but also a powerful criticism of the dark side of the entertainment industry and a brave pursuit of justice and truth!
As a woman, she felt it was very necessary to announce this news so that all her female compatriots could see that there was such a "beast" inside Warner Bros.!
With a simple click of the mouse, the news was officially released.

At this point, a storm in the entertainment industry has officially begun!
~

In the world of fame and fortune in Hollywood, every secret is like a time bomb that can explode at any time.

As the CEO of Warner, Kevin Tsujihara is undoubtedly very confident and arrogant.

Relying on the convenience of his status, like many other company executives, he made many mistakes in his life and work.

At this time, he was sleeping soundly in a private room of the Hilton Hotel, holding his long-term "running partner" Charlotte Kirk in his arms, completely unaware that a storm was quietly approaching.

Led by Fox News, the Internet world was completely ignited by a piece of news that night.

When it came to the next morning, the scandal about Kevin Tsujihara swept across major platforms at lightning speed.

Headlines such as "Warner CEO's power-for-sex transaction exposed", "Hollywood's dark secrets reappear", and "How to protect women's rights" have dominated the hot search list.

For a moment, countless eyes inside and outside the circle were fixed on the drama that was about to take place. Some were shocked, some were angry, and some were secretly delighted.

In recent years, under the leadership of Kevin Tsujihara, Warner's performance has been on a roller coaster ride.

The former Hollywood overlord is now in various difficulties.

Those projects that were originally placed with high hopes have all failed, various decision-making errors have emerged one after another, and a good hand of cards has been played badly... This has also made many people question Kevin Tsujihara's leadership ability.

The exposure of this scandal will undoubtedly make his work ability even worse!
"Jingle Bell!"

The shrill ring of the telephone echoed in the hotel room, waking up Kevin Tsujihara who was sleeping soundly.

He reached for his cell phone from the bedside table and dazedly pressed the answer button.

Soon, listening to the words coming from the phone, his eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief!
"What did you say? This is sheer nonsense! When did I ever engage in sex-for-power transactions with those actresses and stars?"

Kevin Tsujihara argued fiercely.

However, on the other end of the phone, his wife was not emotional at all, and there was not much surprise in her tone, only a hint of helplessness.

She was well aware of the temptation and dark world of Hollywood and had anticipated such a thing.

"Kevin, I suggest you check out Twitter and Google Trends first. Everything I just said was seen online."

After that, she hung up the phone and went to find a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement...

She never imagined that her husband would be such a beast. For herself and her three children, she would never allow that beast to continue living with them.

At this time, Kevin Tsujihara frowned and did not continue to answer the call. Instead, he opened Google to check the trending news.

Looking at those eye-catching headlines, his pupils gradually dilated, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and a very strong, bad premonition suddenly emerged in his heart!

"Wake up, wake up quickly, don't sleep anymore."

He quickly woke up Charlotte Kirk beside him, and while she was still a little dazed, he repeated all the news on the Internet to her.

Charlotte Kirk was a little impatient at first; she was always grumpy when she woke up.

But soon, after hearing what Kevin Tsujihara said, she woke up immediately, and her eyes revealed a deep sense of uneasiness.

"Did you reveal the matter between us to the media?"

Listening to Kevin Tsujihara's doubts, Charlotte Kirk quickly shook her head: "How is it possible! I am the beneficiary. The better you treat me, the better I will do in Hollywood. How can I cut off my own retreat? What good will this do me?"

But at this moment, she seemed to have thought of something and her face changed suddenly.

"I know! It's the computer! I saved all the text messages and videos we exchanged in the past on the computer. These must have been leaked!"

“How could it be leaked?!” Kevin Tsujihara suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"My computer seems to be infected with a virus. It is under repair these days..."

Charlotte Kirk avoided looking at Kevin Tsujihara.

"Fuck! You've been set up!"

Kevin Tsujihara cursed angrily, feeling quite disappointed with his friend.

However, Charlotte Kirk just lowered her head and said nothing.

Kevin Tsujihara doesn't have time to pursue so many things now, because in addition to what happened between him and Charlotte Kirk, many things between him and other female stars and actresses have also been exposed on the Internet.

Some people even tearfully accused him on Twitter of violently raping and threatening women.

Seeing this, Kevin Tsujihara felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, with anger, worry, fear and other emotions spreading in his heart.

However, before he could do anything to make amends or save the situation, Time Warner headquarters called.

"Kevin, the board of directors has noticed the news online. Time Warner is now at a critical stage of development, and the group must not go against women's rights. So, you should handle the work at hand as soon as possible and resign voluntarily. Don't make things difficult for me." "Lotte..."

Kevin Tsujihara wanted to say something, but the person on the other end of the phone had already hung up. It was obvious that the person didn't want to hear his explanation or justification.

The cell phone slid weakly to the ground. He sat on the edge of the bed, looking out the window with empty eyes.

The sunlight shone on him through the window, but it could not dispel the haze in his heart.

He recalled the ambition he had when he first took over Warner Bros., the colleagues who had fought side by side with him, and the people he had hurt.

But now, it's all gone.

After the failure of "Justice League", the board of directors was already very dissatisfied with him.

This time when his scandal was exposed, the board of directors' dissatisfaction with him had reached its peak. They even wanted him to leave immediately, without waiting for him to successfully run "Dunkirk" and win an award!

This ending was undoubtedly very cruel for him, but he was powerless to change it.

"Kevin, I...I'm leaving first."

Charlotte Kirk's voice sounded from behind him, but Kevin Tsujihara did not turn around or respond.

It was not until he heard the sound of the hotel room door closing that he came back to his senses.

Picking up his phone, he checked the news again.

Looking around, almost all media in the United States were reporting news about him, and the front-page headlines were all filled with his sinister facial expression when he was threatening the actress.

Obviously, his incidents of coercing and intimidating female stars and engaging in power-for-sex transactions have become the hottest topic in the United States with the promotion of people with ulterior motives!
Fox News even dubbed his incident the "power-sex scandal"!

If it had happened in the past, this kind of thing would not have attracted much attention at all. After all, this is Hollywood, and worse things happen every day.

However, with the exposure of incidents such as Harvey Weinstein, P. Diddy, and Epstein's Lolita Island, such incidents have become extremely sensitive.

Feminism has been experiencing a surge in recent times.

The exposure of his "power-for-sex" scandal has undoubtedly created a very conspicuous target for those people!

Kevin Tsujihara seemed to be able to imagine those people marching, rallying and protesting at the Warner headquarters building.

While paying attention to his own events, he did not forget to check the trap that was set for Chen Fei before.

As expected, the trending search for "insulting transgender people" had already been suppressed.

Walton Pictures issued another notice, explaining the cause and effect in detail, and stated that all the news released by TMZ was fake news, and that a lawsuit had been filed. It also omitted the video footage of the actual situation at the time.

The truth soon came to light, directly exposing the transgender person’s “false accusation”!

Under the video posted by the latter on Twitter, there are all insults:
"Damn you! You should go to hell! Fei gave you a job, and you treated him like this. You are committing a crime!"

"Boy, no, girl, are you ready to go to jail? Facing the accusation from Walton Pictures' legal team, are you panicking?"

"Stupid guy, the transgender community is ashamed of you! We will never provide you with any legal assistance, you scum!"

Looking at these remarks, at this moment, Kevin Tsujihara completely gave up.

He lost!
A complete defeat!
Moreover, while he failed, he also indirectly helped Chen Fei, allowing the latter to gain more support from people.

A person who was wronged has now been vindicated, and all sectors of society feel guilty about him.

And all of this is added to the Oscar nomination voting.

The time soon came to April 1nd.

On the day when voting for Oscar nominations closed, Warner Bros. held a press conference.

Kevin Tsujihara appeared at the scene, bowed and apologized, and announced that he would voluntarily resign from his positions as CEO and chairman of Warner Bros.

At this point, his "5-year era" officially ended!
"Clap clap clap clap!"

In Beverly Hills, Fade Chen, Natasha, Amy Knott and the PR team members of Manchester by the Sea all applauded and cheered, celebrating the moment of victory.

Chen Fei opened a bottle of expensive champagne, and everyone raised their glasses to celebrate the victory.

Natasha finished her drink and shared some good news: "The transgender person who was suspected of making a false accusation has been arrested by the LAPD."

Amy Knott added: "I found the hospital where he had his sex reassignment surgery and checked the time of his surgery. It was confirmed that the surgery was performed after the crew finished filming. Fei, all the grievances against you have been cleared.

Also, Kevin Tsujihara's wife filed for divorce in court. If nothing unexpected happens, this guy might go bankrupt!"

As we all know, after a couple in the United States divorces, their joint property will be divided equally.

If the husband has a large amount of real estate, business assets, etc., the assets will inevitably shrink significantly after the division. At the same time, the court will also order the husband to pay alimony, which may last for several years or even until his ex-wife remarries or has sufficient financial ability.

In addition, if there are children, the husband must pay child support until the children reach adulthood; if there are many children, the cost of raising them will increase dramatically. When the two expenses are added together, it is a huge sum of money!
Moreover, Kevin Tsujihara resigned due to a sex scandal, and feminists will definitely not let him off easily in the short term.

As a result, he may not be able to find a job in the next few years.

Mortgages, car loans, various tax pressures... these must have made his life miserable! He even went bankrupt and became one of the many homeless people in Los Angeles.

"That's really good news."

Chen Fei had a faint smile on his face, and at the same time stated the goal of the next stage: "So far, our biggest opponent has been successfully defeated, so next, our main target is Oscar.

Everyone, please don't let your guard down, the mission is not yet complete, we still need to work hard!"

Several champagne glasses clinked together, making crisp clashes.

Everyone responded in unison, with fighting spirit burning in their eyes!

……

In the following days, Chen Fei's main job was to continue attending various public relations receptions and prepare for the filming of "Avengers 4".

At the same time, he did not forget to pay attention to the situation in the domestic film and television industry.

On January 1, the movie "Youth" directed by Feng Xiaogang officially withdrew from theaters with a box office of 15 billion yuan.

There are also movies such as "Legend of the Demon Cat" directed by Chen Kaige and "Blood Steel" starring Chen Long, which were forced to be removed from theaters because of the exhaustion of their box office potential.

The previous film "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" only earned 4 million yuan at the box office.

Now the total box office of "Legend of the Demon Cat" is 5.3 million.

For Brother Chen Kai, this can be considered as "improvement", but compared with the high investment cost, the box office performance of this movie is simply too miserable!
However, Alibaba Pictures is quite supportive of him.

On the morning of the day after "Legend of the Demon Cat" was completed, before his peers and netizens could mock Chen Kai, the project launch announcement for "My People, My Country" was released!

“To solemnly celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, fondly review the glorious course of the People’s Republic of China since its founding, and enthusiastically eulogize the brilliant achievements of the great motherland…

Approved by the Film Bureau, the film "My Motherland and I" jointly submitted by China Film Distribution Co., Ltd., Alibaba Pictures, and Bona Film Group has officially been approved for project approval! "

For a time, the entire film and television industry, entertainment industry, and even the entire Internet were boiling again!
