Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 836 A Life-or-Death Covert War

For that "princess," Tangde Film and Television was nothing more than a hobby or a front.

"No Other Love" is nothing more than a tool to maintain a positive image.

Previously, in interviews, "Gege" had been emphasizing women's issues, and "No Other Love" is a story about the growth of women over 30.

In addition, she has many fans, and she is also supported by a yellow dragon and a BMW.

The post that had just surfaced on Weibo quickly disappeared without a trace.

Yang Siwei, sitting in charge of Yixin headquarters, found it amusing and muttered to himself, "I knew Weibo couldn't control you."

Although the boss is a shareholder of Weibo, BMW is also a major shareholder.

The boss certainly wouldn't make things difficult for Chairman Cao because of this.

Yang Siwei was quite energetic; it had been a long time since she had engaged in a magical battle that excited her.

The following day, after the post sank on Weibo, some netizens still kindly reminded "Gege" in the comments section of her Weibo post that she had used someone she shouldn't have.

It has to be said that Gege has accumulated a thick layer of blood well thanks to her pair of oversized thieving eyes; otherwise, the incident involving the military flag outfit would have been enough to end her life that year.

At this time, the general public was still very naive, thinking that the princess was just like the character in "Princess Pearl 2" who accidentally entered a chess club after leaving the palace and was fooled.

The princess's next move left everyone speechless.

First, Dai Liren issued a lukewarm statement, and then the film company threatened to sue the general public.

Then he posted a Weibo post with a picture of himself and Dai Liren pouting and making a funny face: "I hate media that take things out of context. You all know the facts, so why do you make the world more complicated and vulgar for the sake of profit?"

"If the world were clean, wouldn't we all be able to breathe fresh air? Positive energy is the courage we truly need!"

Li Chen was also at home following the developments of the situation. When he saw the Weibo post by the big-eyed thief, he was amused.

How can the princess who invested have the audacity to completely distance herself from the word 'profit'?

By this point, some members of the public had seen through the princess's true colors.

Not only do they know who Dai is, but they also recklessly provoke netizens, just like they pretended to be ignorant about what the military flag represents back then.

This is exactly the effect Yang Siwei wanted.

Netizens are furious. Since Weibo won't let them speak out, they'll go to other platforms.

The first choice is Douyin. Surely your dad can't influence the fairy's Douyin.

As a result, many background music tracks and various emoticons quickly appeared on Douyin, and the letters were also changed to multiple versions.

"Gege said she's going to sue us. Go ahead and sue us. If you don't, then Gege is my grandson. Ask Dai in court if he's Chinese!"

"Dai Liren, if I call you Chinese, do you dare to answer?"

In just one day, Douyin saw a small increase in registered users.

Cao Guowei could no longer sit still.

Even if he was slow to realize it, he eventually saw that behind this seemingly insignificant matter, the power struggle was between some insignificant individuals.

Moreover, both parties have a close relationship with him and are shareholders of Weibo.

Cao Guowei's first call was to Li Chen, and he only said one sentence.

"Zhao has more than one horse behind him, think it through."

Li Chen chuckled: "I have the country and my family behind me. There's nothing more to say. Things have come to this point, and there's no way things can end well without a resolution."

Cao Guowei remained silent. Indeed, things had come to this point, and he couldn't get involved anymore.

We can only watch these two clash; it's uncertain who will ultimately emerge victorious between Cao Cao, Guo Jing, and Wei Wei.

However, his intuition told him that Li Chen seemed to have never lost.

At this point, some of the smart people in the industry had already sensed danger.

Weibo doesn't allow voices, but Douyin does.

Li Chen owns shares in Weibo, and Tianxian is the largest shareholder of Douyin.

Since Douyin is allowed, it means that Li Chen is definitely not the one who is preventing people from speaking out on Weibo.

Who could that be?

Let's see who has taken the most photos with the princess, who has teamed up with her to make money in the stock market, and who is a major shareholder of Weibo.

Fan Bingbing was startled and immediately took out her phone to call Yang Siwei, but she hung up as soon as she dialed.

"I can't fight him. Even if I did, he wouldn't admit it. But besides Brother Chen, who else can rival him?" Fan Bingbing was conflicted.

This level of confrontation is beyond her capabilities, and she is now afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

After all, she was the princess's maid, and the two were both shareholders of Tangde, and recently they had been acting very intimately.

Fan Bingbing immediately called Mu Xiaoguang and asked him to prepare some gifts so she could visit Liu Yifei.

The three members of Jiaxing Media also realized what was happening at this moment.

This is too obvious. When two big shots are battling it out, the first thing they'll do is clash with the social media platforms they control.

Douyin and Weibo started fighting.

"It seems like the senior won the first round." Yang Mi was also playing Douyin and WeChat at the time.

Zeng Jia sent a message in the Jiaxing trio's WeChat group.

"24 media outlets have been silenced, Ma's strength should not be underestimated!"

Zhao Ruoyao followed up with a message: "It's just a matter of declaring war openly. If it were a year ago without the word 'knot,' the outcome would have been uncertain given the strength of these two families. But now, even with Weibo, Lao Ma is probably under immense pressure."

"Do you think that the senior had Liu Qianqian invest in the word knot so early on, just in preparation for today?"

"Honey is right!"

"Makes sense!"

Even now, many netizens still feel that the princess has become a bit reckless after becoming a winner in life, or to put it bluntly, she's gotten a little arrogant.

For tolerant people, especially those who love the princess, it's not a big deal.

As long as she corrects it in time, this matter will pass quickly.

The fact that "Monster Hunt" still sold very well even after abandoning the role of Du Zhendong explains this.

In the following two days, posts boycotting Gege were also deleted on Tianya.

Then some netizens wanted to forward the post to more mainstream media.

The results showed that mainstream media outlets such as WeChat, Tencent, Sohu, and Sina did not give them a chance to speak out.

Only Douyin, Phoenix.com, and a few official media outlets dared to report on this matter.

When celebrities have scandals, mainstream media usually report on them, so why is everyone silent about this? Only a handful of media outlets, such as Douyin and Phoenix.com, dare to withstand the pressure and report on it.

The general public was also frightened. As ordinary people who were just watching the drama unfold, they couldn't even speak out; their speech was completely controlled.

Princess Gege has so much energy!

Li Chen sat at home, fully aware of the situation outside, and Yang Siwei's report was almost like a live broadcast.

Soon, Li Chen played his second card.

Once this card is played, the opponent might not follow.

After receiving the information, the second cardholder tried posting a message on Weibo.

Thankfully, it can still be posted! The Weibo user's profile picture is a red flag.

But soon, the cardholder got angry, saying, "You even dare to delete Weibo posts under the red flag!"

Netizens were so shocked that their jaws dropped.

You even dared to delete Tuan Tuan's Weibo posts!
We provide real-time updates on Douyin.

"An actor can restrict Tuan Tuan's freedom of speech? Princess is really something! With Huang Ama around, she can indeed act with impunity."

"Awesome! I can only support Tuantuan, unless Dangdang doesn't support Tuantuan!"

Many onlookers in the industry were stunned.

A blogger named "Qingwei's Love" on Baidu Tieba's Gege Bar even posted a message demanding that the editor of Tuan Tuan apologize to Gege!
They even brought up national righteousness, saying that Chinese people don't spread rumors about Chinese people.

When Fan Bingbing came to visit, Liu Yifei had no time to deal with him.

At first, she was a little slow to realize it, but even if she was slow now, she could see that her husband was fighting with that princess and the group of people behind her.

However, she often felt that her husband seemed to value this person too much.

Only today did he realize that this person was not simple at all.

The strength hidden underwater, once revealed, is terrifying.

She wanted to persuade her husband to let it go, but at this point, it was impossible for either of them to let it go.

When Li Chen saw that Tuan Tuan's Weibo post had been deleted, he knew that this silent battle was nearing its end.

As for who won and who lost, everyone knows the answer in their hearts.

Cao Guowei received the notification; someone from Ziwei Pavilion called him.

Tuantuan's Weibo account was immediately restored.

Ziwei Pavilion's Weibo post also tagged Tuanbao: "In case your post gets deleted again, the article has been restored and can be read normally."

@Wantuanbao, and also @that netizen who was surprised that Tuantuan's Weibo post was deleted.

With Ziwei's father's support, Tuantuan was also furious.

No one has ever dared to delete my blog posts in all my years.

So, Tuantuan posted another Weibo post.

"If any illegal activities such as online fraud or paid deletion of posts are discovered, the public can report them through [website name] or by phone."

Weibo, WeChat, Tencent, and Sohu instantly restored communication.

Li Chen closed his notebook in the study, then went downstairs and saw Fan Bingbing sitting downstairs chatting with his wife.

As soon as Fan Bingbing saw Li Chen come downstairs, she immediately stood up nervously, nodded, and smiled, "Brother Chen."

Li Chen nodded, and Liu Yifei took two steps forward and grabbed her husband's hand: "Are you done with your work?"

Li Chen pulled his hand away and put his arm around his wife's shoulder, laughing, "What are you so busy with? You didn't even tell me we had guests."

Liu Yifei quickly glanced at Fan Bingbing, about to speak, but Fan Bingbing hurriedly said, "Brother Chen, I told Yifei not to bother you. I came here today mainly to see Yifei."

Li Chen put his arm around his wife and sat on the sofa in the center of the living room: "Sit down and let's talk. I haven't congratulated you yet on selling the company for a good price."

Fan Bingbing sat with half her bottom on the single sofa, her smile looking slightly unnatural.

"Brother Chen, please don't make fun of me. What I have in my bag is nothing compared to yours. Compared to Yifei, I'm a million miles behind."

Fan Bingbing thought to herself, "Could the battle be over? Why did Brother Chen come downstairs?"

Liu Yifei also wanted to ask about the result, but seeing that her husband had no expression on his face, she had already guessed the result.

Fan Bingbing didn't really care about her mistress's life or death, but she just couldn't feel at ease unless she came to the Li family villa.

The control of public opinion by capital has finally become concrete these past few days.

The more Fan Bingbing thought about it, the more her hair stood on end; the more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
At this moment, as soon as Weibo resumed normal communication, "No Other Love" and Gege and Dai Mouren immediately became the top trending topics.

Douyin has also become a place for 'people's justice'.

At the headquarters of Yixin, Yang Siwei clapped his hands and laughed, "All done!"

Next, another Weibo post was deleted, but it was deleted by the princess herself.

That evening, Gege called Dai Liren and said, "Why don't you post a message on Weibo saying that you are Chinese and that these common people are too troublesome, with villains stirring things up behind the scenes! I can't protect you either."

Princess was furious. The newspaper even reported on her being a Singapore permanent resident and referred to her as a Singaporean.

"Why should I post this? I did nothing wrong! I don't belong to any political party, nor do I express any stance."

“I know, I know all of this, but public opinion is very unfavorable to you and me right now. Look, I've already deleted the posts. Taking a step back will open up a whole new world! If you still want to make money in mainland China, you should at least pretend to be one.”

The princess is no longer pretending, so Kiko Mizuhara has to be replaced, but she still wants to keep the lead actress, Shinobu Dai.

Otherwise, if even Dai Liren has to be replaced, wouldn't that be a slap in our own face?

Public opinion will likely be even more unfavorable to her!
In fact, public opinion had already turned against her by this time. The film company had initially publicly supported Dai Liren in protecting his personal reputation, but now they were silent.

Unfortunately, Princess Huanzhu overestimated the influence of the director, Dai Liren, and he still refused to agree.

"What should I do? This guy is so stubborn! No matter what I say, I can't reason with him. What's wrong with you posting something to fool the public? A real man can bend and stretch!" After hitting a wall with Dai Liren, Gege could only call her husband, Huanglong Xianren, to confide in him.

"Try communicating again. If that doesn't work, then change it. We still need to make money on this land. We can't afford to make a mess of things like this!" Huanglong Immortal pointed out.

"Alright!" Gege sighed, quite helplessly.

In this round, she lost completely.

But for the sake of LongV Media's money-making plans, at this point, the only option is to 'put the big picture first' and 'sacrifice personal interests'!

The entire internet is watching how "No Other Love" will handle this matter.

Even the Beijing Film Academy mobilized.

Douyin has made a fortune in the past few days.

Not only did it gain a boost in reputation, but most importantly, it saw a surge in users.

The fairy sat at home doing nothing, yet her net worth increased significantly.

There is much speculation about what kind of staggering Liu Yifei's net worth would be if the company were to go public.

Zhang Ruonan has come to see this celestial beauty again.

“Sister, you’re not part of Rongchen’s faction anymore!” Zhang Ruonan said with a smile.

Her film "So Young 2" with Lin Gengxin is scheduled for release during the summer, which is interpreted by outsiders as a deliberate attempt to compete with the "Tiny Times" series.

I happened to be in Beijing during this period to help with the promotion, so I would come to visit the boss and his wife from time to time.

The recent 'Rong-A' controversy excited these newcomers from the Rongchen faction. At first, they didn't understand, but Lin Gougou explained it to them.

Zhang Ruonan then realized that she had been far too naive in her understanding of her older brother and sister.

In Lin Gougou's words, the boss is already a troll who has attained enlightenment for many years.

Anyone who can see his true form must be a big shot of at least that caliber.

“I know, now everyone outside calls me the boss’s wife of ByteDance!” Liu Yifei couldn’t help but laugh when she thought of this title.

Actually, calling her that isn't entirely wrong, as the vast majority of her wealth is tied to the "Knot Jumping" technique.

However, the husband was very unhappy with this title!
They said they'd invest in Zhang Yiming, and even his wife!
