Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 219: Openly Stealing Someone

"Donnie Yen cheated, Painted Skin crew demanded an apology." - Oriental Daily.

"Drama: Painted Skin crew accuses Donnie Yen of lying." - Ming Pao.

"Who is real and who is fake? The real-life version of the real and fake Monkey King." - New Era Entertainment.

In the afternoon, news and public opinion changed again.

The public opinion originally blaming Wu Zhuo and the Painted Skin crew turned into blaming Donnie Yen.

Actually, some media don’t care about the truth.

What they care about is how much sales this event can bring them.

Therefore, as soon as the public opinion changed, the media immediately turned around and pointed their guns at Donnie Yen.

Seeing that the wind direction was getting stronger, Donnie Yen chose to hide temporarily. He probably hadn't decided on a response method yet.

But Wu Zhuo's sword was thirsty.

On the 10th, Wu Chao held a press conference.

There are still a terrifying number of reporters present today.

The hotel lobby was almost full.

As soon as Wu Zhuo came on stage, the cameras in the audience started clicking.

"There are so many journalists here today. It seems that everyone is very concerned about this matter. I wonder if Mr. Donnie Yen is watching the live interview now.

By the way, TVB should have a live broadcast, right? "

Wu Chao said this while looking at the TVB camera below the stage.

"It will be broadcast live throughout Hong Kong, and everyone can watch your speech on the entertainment channel."

The TVB reporter responded with a smile.

"Is that so? Hello, Hong Kong audience friends, I am Wu Chao."

Hearing this, Wu Zhuo waved in the direction of the camera.

"Speaking of which, it is really embarrassing to meet everyone in this kind of occasion."

Wu Zhuo looked helpless, "I never thought that I would encounter a situation where disaster would come from the sky while I was at home."

Hearing Wu Zhuo's words, the reporters at the scene burst into laughter.

If what the Painted Skin crew said was true, then Wu Chao really had a disaster coming from the sky.

"Let's get back to the point! As you all know, a certain bullet shot at me recently.

Yes, it was quite powerful, and nearly killed me."

Wu Chao's humorous words instantly made the reporters on the scene and the audience who were watching the live interview on TVB Entertainment Channel burst into laughter.

"Wu Zhuo is so funny."

"Bullets, haha, real bullets!"

"The real bullet was shot at Wu Zhuo, hahahaha..."

Online, some viewers who were watching the live broadcast were broken down by Wu Chao's words and started posting real bullets online.

Now is the Internet age, and things big and small can be spread to the whole world and around the world through the Internet.

As soon as the feud between Wu Chao and Donnie Yen started, many people on the Internet already knew about it.

The clip of the press conference of the Painted Skin crew yesterday has gone viral online.

Not only the clips of the press conference of the Painted Skin crew, but also the clips of Donnie Yen being interviewed and criticizing Wu Chao and the Painted Skin crew were posted on the Internet.

Because Donnie Yen's interview simply blasted Wu Chao and the Painted Skin crew.

The Painted Skin crew explained what happened in detail.

In terms of authenticity, everyone now generally believes what the crew says.

Donnie Yen's reputation has begun to be affected.

Wu Chao is considered a victim by everyone.

Therefore, everyone now dislikes Donnie Yen and instead sympathizes with Wu Chao.

This sympathy naturally led to public opinion leaning towards Wu Chao.

“To be honest, I never expected that in modern society there would still be people playing unfounded tricks.

This is completely like treating us as ignorant people of the Song Dynasty!" Wu Zhuo continued, implying that Donnie Yen was a treacherous villain like Qin Gui.

“Let me just state the situation directly. This is why everyone is here, and my friends online must be very curious as well.

To be honest, before this, although I knew Donnie Yen, I was not familiar with him at all. I just heard from the crew that he would play an important supporting role in the movie.

Until I came in contact with the crew.

Only then did I realize that Donnie Yen is a real big shot.

He was clearly a supporting role, but he insisted on asking the crew to change his role to the main one.

He also asked the crew to treat him according to the standards for the male lead.

Actually, I understand all of this. After all, as an actor, an actor who doesn’t want to be the leading actor is not a good actor.

But here the conflict arises.

Everyone knows that I signed a contract with the Painted Skin crew as the leading actor.

Since I am the protagonist, I should be treated like a protagonist.

But everyone knows that there is only one male lead in a film crew.

Mr. Donnie Yen insisted on having me as the male lead, so I could only be a supporting role.

The crew told me that I was the leading role, but when I signed the contract, I became a supporting role, which is totally against the rules.

So, my agent talked to several big guys in the crew.

I demand that I be treated like a protagonist.

After considering it, the crew said they would give me the treatment of the leading role, and asked Director Gordon Chan to communicate with Mr. Donnie Yen.

As for how the discussion went, I actually don’t know.

I know that Mr. Donnie Yen chose to withdraw from the crew.

And when he was interviewed, he directly said that I and the crew kicked him out.

I personally strongly disagree with this accusation.

This is nothing but blatant slander.

I have communicated with my lawyer and filed a lawsuit in court. Please give me an answer, Mr. Donnie Yen."

After Wu Zhuo finished speaking, he stood up. The reporters immediately became anxious, and someone asked loudly:
"Zhaozi, where does the term 'drama tyrant' come from? Can you explain it to me?"

"Oh!" Wu Zhuo slapped his head, "I almost forgot about this."

Wu Chao turned around and faced the reporters.

“As for the claim of drama tyrant, I also don’t agree with it.

What is a drama tyrant? It refers to someone who treats the movie as his own home and does whatever he wants.

And everyone knows that "Painted Skin" is still in the planning stage!

Even if I want to play the role of Xiba, I'm afraid I can't do it.

Some people may want to say that I changed the script.

Let me talk about this here.

I haven’t received the official script yet.

I have never asked the crew to change the script.

I am not like some people who cannot even do their own job well and then start to meddle in other things they don’t understand.

I am just an actor and I never interfere with the work of directors and screenwriters.

Regarding this point, you can go and ask the director of the TV series I have acted in before.

Similarly, you can also ask the crew of Painted Skin if I have made any changes to the plot.”

After saying this, Wu Zhuo felt that his sword had not yet tasted blood, so he simply said:
"Oh! Today's opportunity is rare. I am here to promote myself to Mr. Wong Jing.

I heard that Mr. Wong Jing is planning to make a movie about Mr. Ip Man, the master of Mr. Bruce Lee.

In fact, I am a Wing Chun fan myself and have practiced a few moves of Wing Chun.

At the same time, I have practiced kick-boxing before, so I know a little bit of Kung Fu.

I hope Mr. Wong Jing will consider letting me act in your play."
