Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 663 I Speak, You Listen
Hollywood.

The crew of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

"Explanation? What explanation do you want?" Gu Wei said disdainfully.

"Director Gu, our two companies have cooperated. I hope this matter will end here. Your actions have caused great losses to the South Korean Entertainment Alliance, and you also have a company in South Korea..." The head of CJ Company said half in a negotiating and half threatening manner.

"Haha, it's just a company. I'll give it to you. They will return home tomorrow."

"Director Gu, I'm sorry, I just said the wrong thing. How can I make you stop?"

When the other party saw how tough Gu Wei was, he immediately softened and apologized and begged at the same time.

"Listen, I have countless connections in the entertainment industry around the world. I'm afraid you'll be scared to death if I tell you. I don't even care about the entire South Korean entertainment industry. There's no need to talk about this anymore. You might as well persuade them to get out of the mainland."

Gu Wei said this in Chinese, mainly because he was afraid that he couldn't express the meaning in English. As for whether the other party could understand him, haha, what's the point of talking if they can't understand him.

Sure enough, there was silence on the other end of the phone...

"Director Gu, I think..."

"Shut up and listen to me. I don't care about the South Korean market at all. Give them a message. If they want to play, I will play with them. If you want to cause trouble, then come on." Gu Wei didn't want to listen to the other party's explanations and requests at all. The war had already started, and one side had to collapse first before they could negotiate terms.

"Director Gu, is this your attitude?" the head of CJ Company confirmed again.

"This is my attitude towards them. As for CJ, if you don't want to lose me as a partner, I think we can still continue. You should think carefully about your decision, haha."

In the crew, Gu Wei lit a cigarette and watched the busy people coming and going.

As for the "No Smoking" sign in the distance, a staff member immediately took it away after seeing Gu Wei lighting a cigarette.

"Including Hollywood resources?" The person in charge of CJ Company breathed a little quickly. After all, if he could get Gu Wei's resources, what would it matter even if he sold the South Korean Alliance?

"I can't give you an answer now. It depends on your performance." Gu Wei didn't make any promises and hung up the phone.

As soon as he hung up the call, his cell phone vibrated again. It was a domestic number, so Gu Wei hung up directly. He didn't need to guess to know that it was a call from someone in China, and the purpose was self-evident.

You have to know that the reason why Gu Wei joined other companies to boycott Korean culture is not so lofty. As the domestic market is getting better and better, there is no need to give more to the Koreans. Besides, the biggest beneficiary of driving out the Korean wave is Xingchen Film and Television. In terms of the quality of works and achievements, other companies cannot compare with their own.

Even if Gu Wei did not do this, in the original time and space, the country would take action after South Korea accepted the US request to deploy the "THAAD system" in 16.

The only difference between the two is that it is a few years earlier and the beneficiary group has changed.

Furthermore, Koreans are different from Japanese people. Japanese people tend to bully the weak and fear and admire the strong, while Koreans are both arrogant and inferior, and have more complicated personalities.

Thinking of this, Gu Wei put out his cigarette and returned to the monitor.

He did not hide his voice from the public when he was talking on the phone just now, and his voice was quite loud. Now that they have resumed work, many people are being very cautious, fearing that they will get into trouble.

Moreover, Gu Wei didn't know that since he took over the crew of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", some internal members were proficient in Chinese, and his conversation today might be leaked at any time.

...

domestic.

The situation is getting more and more serious, and the group of trainees who returned from South Korea are now faced with a choice.

Han Geng, the male lead of "Ex-Files", was the first to post a message in support. After all, he terminated his contract and returned to China that year.

On Weibo, Han Geng revealed that the South Korean entertainment industry is more xenophobic and discriminatory against foreign artists. Due to his status as a foreign artist, Han Geng revealed that he could only sign contracts with three TV stations, which meant that even if he was the lead dancer in the show, he had to wear a mask. This action is undoubtedly "self-destructive."

Another popular young star, Lu Han, is currently in a reservation status with SM company. According to the original time and space, he would choose to terminate the contract and return to China on October 10 this year. The Weibo post he posted at the same time read "I'm home", and this statement received millions of likes, comments, and reposts.

At this moment, Lu Han is facing a choice. The high box office of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" has made him a top male star in the domestic entertainment industry, but the SM contract is binding him at all times.

The same situation also happened to Zhang Yixing and Wu Qian, and a group of star artists who debuted as South Korean trainees are also facing the choice.

For a time, fans of these young idols were unhappy and posted comments online accusing Xingchen Films of disregarding the lives of others.

"My brother still has a contract with a South Korean company. If they do this, they will be banned. Even if they are not banned and hidden for a few years, their future will be ruined."

"Xingchen Films doesn't represent the official, so don't worry about them. I won't watch any movies produced by their company in the future. I will only support my brother."

"If you can't compete with my oppa, then you have to resort to dirty tricks, haha."

However, fans who support Xingchen Films are not vegetarians:
"Tiantian is your brother. It's you guys who are corrupting the domestic entertainment scene."

"Get out of here! It's fine if you want to bully their country, but don't let them bully our country and our people."

"They came to the mainland to make money, but they said they were not thanking the mainlanders. They really have no respect for us Chinese. Get out now."

Things finally got out of hand.

The South Korean Entertainment Alliance complained to the General Administration, accusing many companies, led by Star Pictures, of jointly suppressing South Korean artists and culture, and demanded that they make a public apology.

Xingchen Films, Guangguang, Wanda and Bona continued to post: "Shame on you, get out of here!"

Wang Jinghua from Shiba Culture Company also exchanged resources to allow other companies to replace more South Korean artists.

In the South Korean entertainment industry, a wave of boycotting Chinese culture also broke out, with the Star Film and Television branch being the first to be hit and being repeatedly besieged by the Koreans.

Seeing this situation, Song Ge simply arranged for people to return to China directly and the company there was temporarily closed.

Seeing that the speeches of both sides were becoming more and more extreme and the actions were becoming more and more excessive, the General Administration could only step in and call on both sides to remain calm. ………

In the villa.

Since Liu Yifei and Gu Wei got their marriage certificate, they have been running back and forth these days, and have been to the Siheyuan quite often.

Taking advantage of the fact that Su Chang had not yet joined the crew, Liu Yifei took her to start decorating the wedding room.

"Xixi, please ask Director Gu to give me a salary. This filming will be even more tiring."

Su Chang lay on the sofa in a very ungraceful manner, feeling sore in his back and waist.

"Haha, I've loved you for so many years in vain. You're already complaining of being tired after doing such a small job." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and said with a chuckle.

"I just ate a few more bowls of rice, but it seems like you raised me since I was a child." Su Chang complained helplessly.

"Okay then, I'll call Gu Wei and ask him for your salary?"

Su Chang thought about it seriously and said, "Forget it. Director Gu will think of me more when he finds a suitable role. Hehe."

Seeing her best friend smiling like a fool, Miss Liu ignored her.

Liu Xiaoli went to her grandmother's house. Only Liu Yifei and Su Chang were left in the huge villa. The younger sister had to take on some of the housework. Although there was a nanny, she still had to wash her own underwear.

In the bathroom, the young lady had just finished rubbing her panties when Su Chang's cry came out.

"Damn, it's like taking care of a child every day." After hanging up the clothes, Miss Liu picked up a clothes hanger and prepared to give the "child" a lesson.

Su Chang went downstairs angrily. When he saw the thing in the young lady's hand, his eyes widened and he said weakly, "Xixi, there is news about your Gu Wei. Put your things down first and come over to take a look?"

"It'd better be true." Miss Liu muttered as she walked towards Su Chang step by step. The huge pressure made the other party tremble with fear.

I took the phone and saw that it was indeed news about Gu Wei, which was sent back by Hollywood Consulting. It said that the content of Gu Wei's phone call with the crew of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" was exposed.

Below are a lot of comments from netizens:

"Awesome, really awesome. I don't know who he was talking to on the phone, but I like the line 'I talk, you listen', pretty cool."

"He's speaking Chinese. He must be someone in China. The CEO of a film and television company? The head of a local satellite TV station? Which leader?"

"Maybe they are Koreans. That's how they are over there. They only remember to be beaten but not to eat. They are born bitches..."

"No one thinks it's Yifei, wow, if it's really Yifei, then Director Gu's status in the family must be very high, I can't imagine..."

"Haha, Xixi, look, there are netizens who said they called you. It made me laugh to death." Su Chang completely forgot about what Miss Liu looked like just now and laughed so hard that he couldn't stop.

The report spread quickly in the country, and many people in the circle felt that Director Gu Wei was serious this time after reading it.

At least the roles in movies and TV series released are real. Putting aside other things, this alone is enough for them to express their support privately.

As a result, more and more domestic entertainment celebrities have joined the ranks of supporting the ban on Korean culture.

This is something Gu Wei didn't expect...

.........

the other side.

Gu Wei received a large number of calls from China over the past few days, including from some "leaders" whose tone of voice became increasingly harsh.

But Gu Wei still didn't intend to pay attention to them. He was thinking, if you have the guts, come over and get me.

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, so Gu Wei simply called Qin Hao to have a chat.

Don't get me wrong, Qin Hao is just funny and Gu Wei would call him whenever he had time to chat in Hollywood.

Before we could talk for a few words, a girl's voice suddenly came from the other end, "Are you in a relationship?"

"Ah, no, no, I was just making an appointment with some friends to hang out, haha." Qin Hao felt guilty and explained immediately.

"Haha, haven't you been filming recently?" It would be strange for Gu Wei to believe that he was a friend, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"I've turned down several scripts. I'll talk about it after the Oscars, hehe."

"Okay, just pay attention to the schedule. We'll release a new movie in the second half of the year and I'll reserve a good role for you then." As the first artist signed by the company, Gu Wei also thought that the other party could not only make breakthroughs in awards but also had to achieve breakthroughs in the box office.

"main character?"

"That's about right, haha." In a trance, Gu Wei seemed to hear the female voice again.

"That voice sounds familiar," a figure appeared in Gu Wei's mind, and then they chatted for a while and chose to hang up the phone.

Just when Gu Wei was thinking about asking Chen Minghao who it was, Guo Fan came over and said that the actors were ready.

"Okay, let's go."

Filming continues...
