This top guy is crazy!

Chapter 378 We filmed "Friends" ourselves

"Are you sure?" Brian Morton asked coldly, "In Serbia, racial diversity is an iron rule, and the leading roles must also be proportional. You want to challenge this rule? Let me tell you, if the script does not meet the standards, it will not pass the review! No TV station will broadcast your drama, believe it or not!"

Netflix's head, Fok, also earnestly advised Cheng Cheng:
"Okay, make some changes. This is not just their personal opinion, but an unwritten rule in the industry. Otherwise, even if your TV series is filmed, it won't be broadcast. African-American actors will rebel and accuse you of racial discrimination, causing your series to not be broadcast. They have a lot of power, and you will offend a lot of people in the industry."

There are not many black people in power in Serbia's political circles, but there are many successful black people in the entertainment industry, especially those who play music.

If today's conversation were to be leaked, they would definitely use their fame to bombard and accuse Cheng Cheng, because this is just lip service, it doesn't require any effort, and you can still gain fame, who wouldn't be willing to do it?

And don’t think that white people will stand on Cheng Cheng’s side.

In Serbia, white supremacists are all old white Republican men, and they are the bottom of the society.

Most of the people in the entertainment industry are Democratic Party voters and elite white leftists. They will not stand on Cheng Cheng's side just because he insists on using white people. Instead, they will criticize Cheng Cheng together with black people to establish their own "correctness."

So, in Fok's opinion, Cheng Cheng was really unwise.

He insisted on doing something that could be solved by simply changing a few character settings.

And it didn't stick to the right place.

Isn't it good to promote racial equality?
Isn’t it good to promote freedom of sexual orientation?

Isn’t it good to promote gender fluidity?

Isn’t it good to promote vegetarianism, environmentalism and feminism?

These are all great things that encourage individuals to be brave and do their own thing!
He is clearly on the wrong side, so why is he so confident?
Fok never thought that Cheng Cheng was such a person.

"Why should I change it?" Cheng Cheng was speechless.

Do movies and TV shows have to promote something? Do they have to have political elements? Do they have to export some ideology? Do they have to follow the crowd? Do they have to be like the Paris Olympics?

If you could make a movie with six white protagonists in the 90s, why can’t you make one now?

He can film a black person, but the prerequisite is that he has to use the script of Black Panther!

In "Friends", he just wanted to film six heterosexual handsome men and beautiful women!
No one can stop it!

Cheng Cheng glanced at them and said:

"I'm from Tianxia, ​​I can shoot whatever I want, don't impose your own ideas on me. You like to inject black elements into other people's works, is it because you have also been injected with black elements and have your own works?"

Brian Morton was furious:

He is still there!
Martin Ross's eyes turned cold:

He was injected, but he had no work, and he felt offended.

Haley Clinton was also upset:
Because she was really injected and she really had works.

With just one sentence, Cheng Cheng attacked the three people at the scene.

But he was not finished yet, Cheng Cheng continued: "I don't care about the political correctness you Europeans and Americans are into, it has nothing to do with me, because you persecuted and massacred the Jews, you took the blacks as slaves, you convicted sexual minorities, and you led the high carbon emissions in environmental destruction, but what does this have to do with us Tianxia people? We don't owe you anything, why do you promote these things in my works?"

Cheng Cheng retorted, leaving them speechless.

"Why are you silent? Did your vocal cords fall at home? Why don't I see any political correctness protecting Asians? Why don't I see any literary works requiring a certain proportion of Asians?"

"Are you Africans the only minority group? Are Asians not a minority group?"

"Ah? I'm just asking if you Asians are human beings?"

“Are Asians fucking human beings?!”

The faces of Brian Morton and others had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

But it wasn’t over yet. Cheng Cheng pointed at Brian Morton’s nose and scolded him alone:

"You Africans are the most disgusting! You have been bullied and enslaved for hundreds of years, and now you just gained a little status, but you look down on Asians. You will be happy if the white people give you some sunshine, right?! Are you against racial discrimination? You are just against racial discrimination against Africans!"

Cheng Cheng's words made him look embarrassed.

Brian Morton did not have a fit.

He said to Haley Clinton and Martin Ross: "Let's go. It seems that we have misjudged him. He doesn't understand our rules of the game at all. How can such a person survive in Hollywood? Let him dream!"

As he spoke, he walked around Cheng Cheng, as if the other party was just a speck of dust under his feet and he no longer cared about him.

Haley Clinton and Martin Ross followed him out the door.

At this moment, their eyes were like winter ice, cold and deep, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

They were not angry, because for giants in the Serbian film and television industry like them, being angry would be a waste of time and would be inconsistent with their lofty status.

Anger is nothing but the helpless roar of the weak, a ridiculous emotion that only those who cannot control their own destiny have.

What are those in power like?
Those in power are calm and rational!

It's arrogant and ruthless!

They never show their emotions easily.

They only need to nod slightly, give an order, make a phone call, or pass on a message to plunge the other party into an abyss from which there is no escape.

This is their true style, a height that those who can only look up to them can never reach.

It's just a pity.

Before meeting Cheng Cheng, they thought it would be a meeting where both the host and the guests would enjoy themselves, an examination and acceptance of a young talent from Tianxia, ​​but now, all of this has become a bubble.

This Tianxia man named Cheng Cheng is a madman.

A complete lunatic.

From the moment he uttered those words, there was no place for him in Hollywood.

After they leave here, they will use all their connections to weave an airtight network of bans, making it impossible for Cheng Cheng to gain a foothold in the film and television industry in Serbia.

There is no doubt that they have such power. The three of them working together are enough to shake up half of the Serbian film and television industry.

They will let Cheng Cheng's script of "Friends" rot in his hands, making it impossible for him to cash in on it. He can only watch it rot in his hands. This is the lesson they are giving Cheng Cheng.

Netflix's head, Falk, also knows that all this is irreversible.

He complained to Cheng Cheng:
You never know what a wrong decision you made today! Who did you offend! He sighed and felt that he could basically give up on Cheng Cheng. The popularity of "The Three-Body Problem" and the success of "Resident Evil" had made Cheng Cheng lost, so much so that he had completely lost his judgment of reality.

Moreover, this matter is not something he can interfere with.

In the face of Brian Morton's powerful force, he, as the head of Netflix, seems insignificant and powerless to turn the tide.

But just as Brian Morton and the other two were about to leave the room, Cheng Cheng suddenly said:
"Go away, I will take revenge on you."

Brian Morton paused, his chest heaving, his face flushed, and he could hardly hold himself together.

Although he always thought highly of himself and regarded himself as a superior, disdaining to get involved in those low-level verbal disputes, at this moment, an irresistible impulse surged in his heart, making him almost unable to hold back and argue:
We just stopped cooperating with you. Why are you retaliating against us?
And it was you who proposed this "non-cooperation".

Aren't we the ones who have the right to "retaliate"? Where do you get the right to retaliate against us?

And you insulted us! No matter how you look at it, we are the ones who suffered, right?!
He asked, "Why do you want to take revenge on us?"

Cheng Cheng shook his head and seemed to have made up his mind: "Just wait, I won't keep you waiting."

Brian Morton took a deep breath and said:
"You tell me first! What right do you have to retaliate against us?"

Cheng Cheng looked very confident and said, "You don't need to ask any more questions. Just know that I will severely retaliate against you."

"madman!"

Brian Morton yelled:
"You are a complete lunatic!"

He looks pissed!
In his opinion, he has always been the one who controls the situation and dominates the fate of others. When has he ever been bullied like this? When has he ever been threatened like this?

Haley Clinton and Martin Ross also lost their ability to control their expressions.

They felt that meeting Cheng Cheng today was not a mistake, but a big mistake! At this moment, they felt like they were stuck with shit and couldn't get rid of it! More importantly, the probability of being killed by a cat was small, but not zero.

What’s more, Cheng Cheng is more than just a cat.
"Okay!" Brian Morton said, "Then we'll wait!"

After saying that, Brian Morton and the other two walked out of the room completely.

They have decided to take drastic measures as soon as they return to the company.

After they left, Cheng Cheng looked at Fok, the person in charge of Netflix, and said, "If I shoot Friends myself, can I broadcast it on Netflix?"

Fok looked confused and uncertain.

He wanted to say no, because he couldn't afford to offend the three TV stations, but he was also afraid of Cheng Cheng's retaliation, so he could only agree vaguely: "If the quality is good, it's okay, but the specific situation needs to be analyzed specifically."

"Okay." Cheng Cheng patted his shoulder, "I feel relieved when you say that."

No, what are you worried about?

All the Fok people were shocked!

Why does this guy seem to be guaranteed a ticket?
That's not what he meant.

But Cheng Cheng didn't care.

There is no one who can practice Tai Chi with him, no one!
If Netflix doesn’t broadcast the film when it’s finished, that’s another story.

After leaving Netflix and getting in the car, Li Zhuo asked, "Boss Cheng, are we really going to film Friends ourselves?"

Cheng Cheng asked: "Why not?"

Li Zhuo said: "But if we don't broadcast it after we film it, they will trip us up."

Cheng Cheng said: "Serbia is not the whole world. Does that mean American dramas must be broadcast in Serbia?"

Li Zhuo: Hmm? If American TV series are not broadcast in Serbia, can they still be called American TV series?
Cheng Cheng said: "If Serbia doesn't allow us to broadcast, we will broadcast in Europe, Eros, Japan, Peninsula, and China. There are countless fans of American dramas in the world, and their total number is not more than that of Serbia's local audience. Moreover, if we don't broadcast in Serbia, will Serbians not be able to watch it? Impossible. This is the era of global interconnection. If they want to watch, they can always find the resources. At worst, we can release the resources ourselves and let them download and watch. What we lose is only Serbia, but what we gain is the whole world. And there is a good saying."

"What?" Li Zhuo tilted her head to look at Cheng Cheng. She felt that her President Cheng was particularly charming at this moment.

Cheng Cheng said: "When you choose a friend, you also choose an enemy. Conversely, when you choose an enemy, you also choose a friend. They are just loud. There are many conservative groups in the world who are tired of political struggles, and there are many in Serbia. By filming "Friends", we can also achieve the reverse ideological output to Serbia and make them realize how their culture and entertainment have been ruined by these elite white leftists!"

Li Zhuo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that Cheng Cheng was really smart and far-sighted!

She could imagine how overwhelmed the white left elites in Serbia's entertainment industry would be by then.

However, the premise of all this is that the script of "Friends" must be good enough, otherwise it will not be good to watch and will become a complete joke.

"Then how can we retaliate against them?" Li Zhuo asked worriedly, "Boss Cheng, we still have to abide by local laws in Serbia, otherwise it will cause international disputes."

Cheng Cheng looked at her strangely:
"I'm not crazy, why do you think I would break the law?"

Li Zhuo was suddenly speechless.

That’s right, Mr. Cheng is not a psychopath.

She asked, “So what are we going to do?”

Cheng Cheng drove to the airport, parked the car in the parking lot, and then immediately went to the ticket office with Li Zhuo to buy tickets.

The ticket seller was a Latino with a great figure.

She said to Li Zhuo:

"Miss, you are a Premier 1K member of our United Airlines MileagePlus (membership program). The original price of a first-class ticket from Xinxiang to Tallahassee is $3298, and two tickets are $6596. After the 8% member discount, the price is $5276.8. Please prepare your credit card so that you can complete the payment process smoothly."

As the second-in-command of Shinhwa Company, as well as Cheng Cheng's personal secretary and agent, Li Zhuo has memberships in airlines in various countries.

Li Zhuo was about to swipe his credit card when Cheng Cheng suddenly jumped out and stopped him:
"Wait, stop the discount and let us pay the original price."

The Latino ticket seller was obviously stunned. She had already failed, how could she still do this?
She advised, trying to make it clear: "Sir, our membership discount is our membership benefit. Using the membership benefit can save a lot of money."

Cheng Cheng stopped:

"No need to say anything, just use the original price."

".Okay." The Latino ticket seller hesitated for a long time and finally agreed.

So, she completed the operation of having a membership without using the membership discount for the first time in her life.

After paying the money, Cheng Cheng took Li Zhuo and left under the complicated gaze of the ticket seller.

Cheng Cheng: I go crazy every day, starting with buying a plane ticket at full price.
