During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 695: Public Enemy of the Industry? Just a Little Bit of Roughness
Just as Wei Jin expected, the legal year in the entertainment industry has officially begun.

Just last night, when he was making love with Nazar, another person was arrested for touching someone he shouldn't have touched.

As the police announcement came out, the internet completely exploded and the entire circle became the target of public criticism!

All major portals, Baidu Tieba, Tianya, and Zhihu are full of reports and discussions on related events.

From all walks of life, online and offline, countless netizens and passers-by are cursing the entertainment industry for its filth and corruption.

Celebrities and famous people earn more money than ordinary people can earn in their entire lives, but instead of thinking about giving back to their fans or guiding social trends, they always break the law with impunity.

To be honest, if it's just eating, drinking, gambling, or having sex, it's fine, at most it's a problem with personal lifestyle.

But drugs are something that almost every Chinese person with morals and conscience hates!

What’s more important is that this is the third person to have been imprisoned for this matter in just one and a half months since the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking!
Moreover, these three people are not small figures at all. They are all well-known in the circle. None of them has less than one million fans on Weibo. Their influence is too huge!
As we all know, when you find a cockroach in a room, it means there is at least one nest of cockroaches in the dark!
What's more, there are three of them?!

As a result, this time the public opinion could no longer be suppressed, and the entire Internet could be described as a place of public outrage.

Even many official Weibo accounts were flooded with indignant netizens, who all asked the relevant departments to thoroughly rectify this chaos!

"Boss Wei, the recording site of Go Fighting has been surrounded by the media, all of whom want to interview Huang Bo. The onlookers are also cheering, asking Huang Bo to take samples for testing."

When Wei Jin just arrived at the company from the land of gentleness, he received a call from Zhang Yipei, the director of the variety show department.

There was obvious fatigue in the latter's voice. It was obvious that the recording scene was a little out of control, making her anxious.

Wei and Jin were not surprised by this.

Because everyone knows that if Wei Jin can be considered Huang Bai's musical mentor, then "Xuzhu" can be considered Huang Bai's guide and best friend in the film and television circles, and he has helped him.

When the two have such a good relationship, there is no guarantee that Huang Bai will not have any problems. After all, what these drug addicts are best at is dragging their relatives and friends into trouble!
"Director Zhang, today's program recording is temporarily suspended. Please wait for the company's subsequent notification."

Wei Jin tapped the tabletop, thought for a moment, and then ordered: "As for Huang Bai, arrange for him to go to the nearest police station to collect samples for inspection. Tell him that this is my request, and if he has any objections, call me!"

Although he believed in Huang Bai, Wei Jin had to do this. This incident was no small matter, and the company's various projects had to have a smooth transition, so they had to come up with an unexpected strategy.

"Okay, Mr. Wei, I understand. But I see that Huang Bai is not in a good mood either, and he has been sighing at the scene."

"I understand, but you should remind him not to make any public announcement about this matter, or else don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Personal relationships are personal relationships, but in the face of such major issues, Wei and Jin did not want Huang Bai to make the mistake.

"Well, I will."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Jin checked the news online again.

The agency reacted quite quickly and has held a press conference to apologize, expressing its sincere hope for understanding from all sectors of society.

But people on the Internet were condemning and demanding severe punishment, and some netizens even shouted for him to get out of the entertainment industry.

However, the film and television industry is completely silent at the moment.

To be honest, people in the Wei and Jin dynasties all felt that "Xu Zhu" had a very unfortunate fate.

When "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" was popular, he could have reaped a lot of benefits as one of the main characters.

However, he was arrested for causing death in an accidental car accident, leaving a criminal record. Many crews also terminated their contracts with him, and his upward momentum was abruptly interrupted!

As a result, he fell from the third male lead in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" to a minor villain in "The Return of the Condor Heroes". Later, he simply had no more acting offers and had to hone his acting skills in the drama club.

After keeping a low profile for a few years, the business finally started to improve. However, during the house renovation, a worker was electrocuted to death due to illegal operation.

Two unexpected murder lawsuits earned him the title of "the king of bad luck" in the circle, and basically no large crews would invite him.

After all, large film crews have such huge daily expenses and spend money like water, so you have to believe in metaphysics.

In other words, Huang Bai always remembered the old times and took care of him from time to time.

Even when he was filming "The Militiaman Ge Erdan" two years ago, he played the second male lead and got a lot of exposure.

But this time, it had nothing to do with luck. It was purely his own fault.

Suddenly, Wei Jin thought of Cao Baoping's "Burning Sun", in which he seemed to have also starred.

"Teacher Cao must be having a headache too. It's unexpected that such a thing happened to him. Sigh."

After sighing, Wei Jin came back to his senses and pressed the intercom button on the phone on the desk.

"Notify Zhang Xu to come and see me!"

For most of the day, all major portals, Weibo, and official media were filled with this news.

The anger of the masses seemed to have really reached a critical point and could no longer be suppressed.

The Weibo accounts of many relevant departments were flooded with comments, all demanding severe punishment!

But what is strange is that apart from announcing this message in the early morning, the authorities did not make any statement.

You know, before this, those people who were involved in this kind of thing would be criticized by name by the relevant departments.

But perhaps it is precisely because of this that the entertainment industry reacted so quickly and boldly this time!

Before the day had even passed, someone had come out and openly pleaded for justice, and the general message was still the same old stuff.

What are the sayings like "It is the greatest virtue to know one's mistakes and correct them", "A prodigal who returns is worth more than gold", and "Punish the past to prevent the future and cure the disease to save the patient".
To be honest, Wei Jin didn't know whether these people were stupid or bad. They actually wanted to help whitewash such an illegal and disorderly thing?

If he were given a chance, would those people’s policemen who sacrificed their lives on the anti-drug front at a young age be able to rest in peace?

Who gave them a chance?

But it’s true, because many of those who spoke out were big names and insiders in the circle, their influence had different responses, and some netizens really changed their positions.

But if we compare influence, who in the entertainment industry can compare to Boss Wei?
In the evening, the entire film and television industry experienced a major earthquake, and the Internet was boiling with excitement!

"In response to the requests of many netizens, Huang Bai was taken for examination at the Pudong Police Station in Shanghai today, and the examination report has been made public on Weibo."

"Popular young actor Chen Xiao was tested at the Hengdian World Studios Police Station at noon today, and the result showed negative."

"Artists from the Shanhe group, Qiao Zhenyu, Zhang Songwen, Zhou Yiwei, Cheng Yi, Bai Yu, Li Xian. Thirteen people in total, posted their test results on Weibo."

"According to Star Culture's executive CEO Zhang Xu: In the next few days, all Star artists will have their samples taken for testing to prove their innocence!"

"Shanhe Media President Chen Zhiming made a statement: Shanhe Media has zero tolerance for artists involved in drug abuse. Once an artist is involved, the media will immediately announce the termination of the contract and claim a high penalty for breach of contract!" "."

A series of news items directly pushed related keywords such as Shanhe Media, Star Sky Culture, and drug-related artists to the top of the hot searches.

There is no way. Compared with the film and television circles pretending to be dead or making excuses for artists involved in drug-related crimes, Shanhe Media's attempt to prove its innocence is simply a slap in the face.

Netizens were overjoyed and gave thumbs up online.

92594: "Brother Bo, you are awesome. As long as you don't touch that stuff, I will always support you."

Lanhu: "This operation by Shanhe Media and Xingkong Culture is really great, this is how they should do it!"

Recalling loneliness: "This is the demeanor that a large company should have. I suggest other companies learn from this!"

Girl and the Crown: "Let's be honest, although Wei Gou is a bit playful, his stance is firm."

"Bang! Damn it, what does Wei want to do? Is he the only one in the whole circle who is noble? Is he the only one who is great? Damn, he is just a troublemaker, fuck"

While browsing the news online, Fatty Bernardo slammed the coffee table in angrily with his fat hand holding a cigarette, cursing.

"The Sun Also Rises" itself was rejected by the censors several times in the early stages because of its excessive scale.

After finally passing the review, the film has been scheduled for November, and even the publicity plan has been released, with the aim of seizing the initiative in the Lunar New Year box office.

I didn't expect that the promotion was about to begin, but such a strange thing happened. Some scenes might be affected, and the previous plans might be completely disrupted.

I originally thought that I could just issue a press release to clean up my mess, then use some connections to get it reviewed and I could get away with it.

Unexpectedly, Wei Jin, who had nothing to do with the matter, came out to interfere and completely disrupted Bernard's rhythm. Who wouldn't be angry?
What's more, there is the issue of "Star Luck" suppressing "The Bride with White Hair", and Bernard's already low stock price has been falling for several days!
New and old grudges surged into Fatty Yu’s mind, and even his breathing became heavy.

"Old Yu, what should we do now? Many netizens are calling for the company's artists to be inspected as well."

Jin Qiao, who had already become the president's wife, sat down beside him and reached out to stroke Fatty Yu's heaving back.

"Netizens are shit, what do they know? Check? Check what? Do they understand the principle of presumption of innocence? Why should artists prove their innocence? Ignore them!"

Fatty Yu picked up the cigarette that was about to burn out in his hand, took a deep puff, then put it out in the ashtray with a gloomy face.

"Just wait and see. This time, that idiot named Wei has angered the public, and he will suffer the consequences."

While he was cursing, the phone on the coffee table rang. Fatty Yu looked at the caller ID and his pupils shrank.

"La Dong?"

"Wei Jin, you have offended many people in the circle this time, but this matter, you did a great job!"

Wei Jin was a little surprised when he received the call from Director Tong, but he reacted quickly, "With Director Tong's compliment, it doesn't matter if I offend anyone or not, hahahaha."

Wei Jin was not trying to take credit in front of his superiors when he said this. He really didn't care about the opinions of people in the industry, otherwise he would not have acted so decisively.

Not to mention that those who were offended were all people with dirty tricks, Wei Jin would never have had any cooperation with them in the first place.

Even if there are people who really think that Boss Wei has gone too far, it can only be said that they are not on the same side as him, and this is a good opportunity to help him select allies.

"But Director Tong, you called me so late at night, you're not just here to praise me, right?"

"Well, I have something to inform you. The General Administration will hold a meeting at 9 a.m. the day after tomorrow."

"Oh, it's just a small matter. Director Tong, you can just arrange someone to notify them. Why are you so troublesome?"

Wei Jin praised him moderately, but he didn't expect to praise him too much.

"Hey, kid, if I don't call you myself, who knows if you will come? I'm telling you, this meeting is very important. Not only do you have to be present, but you also have to be prepared to speak!"

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Wei Jin felt a little wronged. He only asked Chen Zhiming to attend a few meetings on his behalf. How come his leader still remembered it?
But after hearing the second half of the sentence, he probably realized something and asked tentatively with some uncertainty: "Director Tong, is it about what happened today?"

"Well, the impact is too bad. This time, all representatives in the industry must speak and express their views and discuss a charter."

Wei Jin understood, and he asked why the officials were so quiet this time, it turned out that they were preparing for a big wave.

According to Director Tong, this time, all the major state-owned enterprises, film and television companies, brokerage companies, and entertainment companies.
From major industry associations such as the Film Association, Television Association, Directors Association, and Performing Arts Association.
From well-known directors, producers, and even some actors, all will attend this meeting.

This campaign is even bigger than the previous crackdown on industry piracy. It seems that the higher-ups are really determined!

"I understand, Director Tong, I will be there on time."

"Well, that's it, see you the day after tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Jin fell into deep thought, thinking about Hou Tian’s speech.

As the outside world has said, the entertainment industry is full of filth and is indeed very dirty.

After all, there are indeed many temptations, and very few people can stick to the bottom line.

But this is not a phenomenon unique to the entertainment industry. Looking at the entire society, who can guarantee that they will not make mistakes in their life?

Including Wei Jin himself, he never thought that he was a good person, so most of the time he was tolerant of many mistakes.

But when it comes to the country's stance and drug-related issues, Wei Jin has a clear bottom line that must not be touched!

Needless to say, those who forget their roots are not worthy of being human beings!

The latter is also a social legacy that harms people greatly.

In the previous life, there was a childhood friend of Wei Jin. Because he was dragged into this stuff by his bad friends, he ended up with the ruin of his family!
The key point is that this childhood friend was the only son in the family with no children. After his death, his fiancée left him directly.

Only the parents in their fifties were left, crying all day long, it was so miserable.

Therefore, no matter in the past life or in this life, Boss Wei and drugs are irreconcilable!
But just because Wei and Jin thought so doesn’t mean others think so too.

From what those people said today, we can already judge the attitudes of some people in the circle towards this matter.

Most neutrals will also be involved in various interests and circles, and will most likely follow the crowd.

In other words, Wei Jin was destined to stand on the opposite side of the vast majority of people in the circle this time.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as the public enemy of the industry!

But, so what?
For the Wei and Jin Dynasties today, it is just a little bit of wind and frost.
