The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 310 The Storm is Coming
Just one day had passed, and it happened to be the press conference for Feng Kuzi’s new movie "A World Without Thieves".

Of course, it was called a new film press conference, but in fact only Feng Kuzi was there, and none of the other main actors were there.

Because Feng Kuzi listened to Zhang Chen very much, he put the selection of actors on the day when the "Morning Light Transcendence Class" started.

The main reason for holding this press conference now is because of a phone call from his boss Zhang Chen yesterday.

Immediately after hanging up the phone, Feng Kuazi asked the company to contact many media reporters and held today's press conference with more than a hundred people.

"Director Feng, you haven't made a movie for such a long time, is there any special reason?"

Just as Feng Kuazi was about to start the press conference for his comeback with a rosy face, he was left speechless by the question from the first reporter on the scene.

He couldn't say that he had been hidden by his boss for a while, right?

"I have been busy working on the script for some time, so I haven't started any new movies."

"So this is a press conference for a new movie, but why didn't we see the main creators of the movie?"

"I have the script and the funding, now I just lack actors. I want to wait until the "Morning Light Beyond Class" is released and then pick out actors I like."

"Will Director Feng's new movie also use the actors from 'Morning Light Beyond Class'?"

"Director Feng, do you think that 'Morning Light Beyond Class' will be able to train actors that meet your requirements?"

This piece of news from Feng Kuzi has undoubtedly added a lot of heat to the "Morning Light Beyond Class" a few days ago.

But this is not enough, he has not forgotten what Zhang Chen told him yesterday.

So after the reporters quieted down a bit, he angrily shouted with a straight face: "It's because some of the bad media among you exposed the home addresses of all the actors and directors in Yanjing City, causing many actors to be afraid to go out recently. I won't mention the weekly magazine in Beijing or the Internet company that owns a certain bar. These people have no bottom line and do such immoral things!"

"But a while ago, a female celebrity named Ying from Hong Kong was arrested for allegedly hiding white flour. Doesn't this mean that celebrities should also accept everyone's supervision?"

"Supervision does not mean snooping into privacy!" Faced with this unreasonable reporter, Feng Kuazi directly retorted, "Didn't you read yesterday's news? Do you know what it means to respect people's privacy? Do you know what it means to be lawless on the Internet? Do you want to question yesterday's news?"

The reporter who was retorted was also speechless because of Feng Kuazi's questions.

As a news media, he really didn't dare to say the one that reported the news yesterday.

Unless he doesn't want to be in this line of work anymore.

"So Director Feng means that we reporters can't report news about you guys?"

"I asked you to report it, not to follow someone to their home like a perverted stalker. Wasn't the impact of last night bad enough?"

"But someone has already been punished."

"Do you know that the minimum sentence for home robbery is ten years?"

"What?!" Some reporters really didn't understand, and someone immediately exclaimed, "Those are Zhang Chen's fans. Are they going to sentence those three people?"

"It's not because you are someone's fan that you should be treated preferentially. Everyone is equal before the law!" Feng Kuzi replied righteously, "If you do something wrong, you must pay the corresponding price. We can't let Zhang Chen, a law-abiding hero who has made great contributions to the country, be wronged!"

Feng Xiaogang spoke for a long time with great enthusiasm, but his core idea was only one, which was to make sure that the "thugs" last night received the punishment they deserved.

This is also what Zhang Chen told him on the phone last night.

Although doing so would inevitably lead to him being scolded by some extreme people, he was happy with it.

This was something Zhang Chen had personally assigned to him, and he was helping his boss solve a problem.

After joining Chenguang Entertainment, he had been waiting for this day for too long.

When he first entered Chenguang Entertainment and signed a contract similar to a contract of selling his indentures, he knew that his fate was basically in the hands of Zhang Chen.

When he saw that there was no hope of making a comeback and was feeling discouraged, Zhang Chen gave him funds and even personally assigned him the task last night.

If he wants to survive in this line of work and get the honor and money he has always desired, he must do this matter well and beautifully.

Only in this way can you gain Zhang Chen's trust.

Now he has a very clear positioning for himself.

That is, Zhang Chen’s lackey.

During last night's phone call, Feng Xiaogang tasted something from Zhang Chen's words.

In the film and television industry
What Zhang Chen is not convenient to say, he will say it!
He will do what Zhang Chen is not convenient to do!
"Also, that search engine is always doing illegal and criminal things. The works that we, the artists, have worked so hard to create are all pirated on his website. The country should also take action to regulate this kind of company!"

"Zhang Chen said that pirates will not pay taxes and will not bring any positive impact to society. You should have seen yesterday's news. Chenguang Group is the largest taxpayer among domestic private enterprises. Think about how much loss a certain company has caused to Chenguang Group and the country?"

"I call on all film and television companies and record companies in the music industry to unite and file a lawsuit against Baidu, asking it to compensate us creators for our lost profits. We want creators all over the world to have enough food to eat and our country's cultural industry to develop more healthily!"

Feng Xiaogang really enjoyed scolding you this time. In the past he was just criticizing you, but now he is standing on the side of justice and accusing you of these illegal behaviors.

This kind of criticism from the moral high ground makes him feel refreshed!
This is a qualified troll!

At this moment, Feng Kuazi seemed to have found the direction of future development.

"Director Feng." While Feng Kusuo was drinking water, a reporter raised his hand tremblingly, "Are you really going to sue?"

"Of course. The digital copyright of my movie has always been owned by only one company. However, there are pirated resources everywhere on Baidu. Their company allowed these pirated resources to run rampant on the Internet. Don't they have any responsibility at all?"

"Also, our address was leaked on Baidu Tieba, why not on Weibo?"

"This"

The reporters looked at each other in bewilderment, not understanding why a press conference for Feng Xiaogang's new movie had turned into a criticism meeting against Baidu?

Then I thought that Feng Kuzi hadn't even found the main creative team for the movie yet, and the shooting time hadn't been determined yet, so I asked them to come here for the press conference.
So, this is the purpose of Feng Pants, right?
Some reporters have already figured out the real purpose of this press conference and they were speechless.

Why go through so much trouble? Just tell them the purpose directly.

They will still come directly to report this big news.

After all, this involves two of the country's leading large companies, Chenguang Group and Baidu!

"Okay, everyone." Feng Xiaogang saw that the time was almost right, so he asked the staff to give each reporter a red envelope, and they still had to pay for the travel expenses. "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's easy to talk about."

"Director Feng, you're too polite."

After measuring the thickness of the red envelopes with their hands, the reporters all showed satisfied smiles.

It doesn't matter if you trick them into coming here, as long as you can make money.

And they also felt it necessary to report this news.

Every word Feng Xiaogang said at this press conference should be able to stir up a bloody storm on the Internet.

That night, the media reported everything that happened at the press conference for Feng Kuzi's "new movie" through various channels:
【Director Feng Xiaogang angrily denounced Baidu. 】

[Feng Xiaogang accused Baidu of allowing pirated movies and music to run rampant on the Internet.]

【Feng Xiaogang called on all record companies and film and television companies to unite and sue Baidu for copyright infringement.】

[Feng Xiaogang angrily criticized Baidu for allowing people's privacy to be spread wantonly on its forum.]

[Is pirated resources good or bad? ]

[Morning Light Music and CGT Films have contributed a huge amount of tax revenue to the country, but what about the pirates? ]

[Director Feng supports the sentencing of the three people who broke into Zhang Chen's home, and supports a severe sentence.]

For each incident, the media pointed all the blame at Baidu.

For a time, Baidu became the target of attack by many media.

However, unlike the media reports, netizens' comments on the Internet were polarized. First, there were netizens who supported Feng Xiaogang's remarks:

"Director Feng said it well! We are the British and Irish people who support the works of cultural creators. If they can't make money, where will the motivation and funds come from to support them to continue on this path?"

"It's time to punish those pirates. They have ruined countless creators. In the music field, there is still Morning Light Music to build a platform for them, but in the film and television field,

"The biggest pirate of domestic films. This cannot be discussed."

"I remember that all the resources on Baidu are P2P BT resources, which are said to be obtained from Korea. I remember that the movies on CGT player cannot be shared after downloading." "Celebrities also need privacy. Their home addresses have been exposed. It is really not good for so many people to disturb their lives."

"It is said that a lot of things were lost from Zhang Chen's home. His behavior is too bad. He must be severely punished!"

These comments have generated a topic forum where everyone is expressing their views on the matter.

However, it is a pity that these people only account for about half.

More than half of the people clearly expressed their opposition:

"If I can't afford the 8 yuan monthly membership fee, am I not eligible to listen to music? If I can't afford the or yuan movie ticket, am I not eligible to watch a movie?"

"You guys should understand one thing. Without these resource sharing, who would know your music? Who would know your movies? These free resources have helped you gain a lot of reputation."

"That's right, if there weren't these free resources, who would know you, Zhang Chen, and who would know you, Feng Kuzi!"

"Just look at Zhang Chen's house and you'll know how much money he made from us. Do we really have to ban all the free resources and let one person eat all the food? Then those of us who don't have much spare money are not qualified to have leisure and entertainment, right?"

"The dissemination of works requires channels. Baidu has helped you singers and directors promote your works. You should be thanking them. Why are you trying to turn the tables?"

"The people surrounding the celebrities' homes are all their fans. Feng Kuzi, you actually wanted to send them in to work on a sewing machine? You have such a cruel heart!"

These people were not satisfied with just commenting on the topic forum, and they went to Feng Kuazi's personal Weibo to curse him.

Some people still felt unsatisfied and went to Zhang Chen's Weibo to ask for an explanation, wanting to hear Zhang Chen's opinion on the matter.

"What do you think?" Zhang Chen was lying in a villa in the suburbs, eating the dishes that Sun Fangping taught Liu Yifei to cook. "My opinion is that Xixi's cooking skills need to be improved."

"I'm asking you what you think about the comments of netizens online. They all come to ask you if you really want to send your fans to work on sewing machines, and if you really want to sue Baidu."

Liu Yifei was so angry that she punched Zhang Chen in the chest.

This guy clearly knew what he was asking, but he just didn't answer properly. He even said that the food he cooked was bad.

Others want to eat it but can’t!
"Didn't you hear me calling yesterday?"

"So, Director Feng's words were all instructed by you?"

"Although I didn't teach him, he understood what I meant."

"So." Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Chen worriedly, "Will this make ordinary people feel chilled?"

On one side are Zhang Chen’s fans, and on the other side are the poor people who represent the general public.

If it were to be known that Feng Xiaogang's remarks were all instigated by Zhang Chen, then
"Don't worry, just wait until the end of the year."

"But."

"Just be quiet recently. There have been enough incidents recently. It's time to calm down and prepare for the Spring Festival Gala. I have been delayed for so long by these terrible things and haven't practiced singing properly."

"alright."

Seeing that Zhang Chen was so confident, Liu Yifei felt a lot more relieved.

In her opinion, Zhang Chen is the kind of person who can do everything.

From childhood to adulthood, Zhang Chen has never made a wrong step, as if everything was within his expectations. This is why she admires her brother so much.

Zhang Chen felt somewhat proud as he watched the little girl's eyes change from worry to admiration.

But soon, he suppressed his pride.

He just looked "a little" further ahead than others.

Only.

If he remembers correctly, the country will introduce a law next year specifically to protect intellectual property rights.

Moreover, at the beginning of next year, there will probably be a trial in Hong Kong Island regarding the issue of digital copyright on the Internet.

As Internet technology develops faster and faster, countries around the world have begun to pay attention to related events on the Internet.

Many things require time to try and make mistakes.

In this land, Zhang Chen instilled copyright protection awareness in everyone's minds early on, so the situation did not develop into what he thought it was, where all netizens blindly supported piracy.

Habits are formed slowly in this way.

It is wrong to pirate the fruits of other people's labor at will.

Don't talk about helping with publicity, what you are promoting are pirated resources.

If it's free, just enjoy it quietly. If it's pirated, just share it. Zhang Chen didn't bother to care before.

But now this group of people jumped out to accuse the creator.
Please, are you qualified?

This behavior is like Zhang Chen owns a hundred houses, but he only lives in one, and leaves the other houses unattended, allowing homeless people to live in them.

But when Zhang Chen wanted to take back the house, those who lived in his house for free said: "I live in your house and help you promote your house. Not only do you not thank me, but you actually want me to pay rent in the future?"

Unreasonable and shameful.

This kind of thing is really not suitable for Zhang Chen to stand up. If he dares to do it publicly, these shameless people will spray him into a sieve.

That’s why there was this scene with Feng Kuazi at the press conference.

He recruited Feng Kuazi under his command with this intention in mind.

In a company, there must always be someone who does the dirty and tiring work.

Originally this person should have been Li Xiaoping, but she ended up playing the role of a good person in the position of president. Although this was beneficial to the internal unity of the company, there was still a lack of a catfish to stir up everyone's enthusiasm.

Feng Xiaogang is the "catfish" recruited by Zhang Chen.

Ever since Feng Xiaogang angrily criticized Baidu and those who spread pirated resources and disclosed other people's privacy at will that day.

Everyone originally thought that there would be a bloody storm.

As a result, nothing happened for more than a month.

It’s just that the post with the celebrity’s home address was quietly deleted from the forum.

Apart from this, the prosecution mentioned by Feng Xiaogang did not happen and no news was disclosed.

However, many people who knew some inside information smelled something unusual.

They felt that this was just the calm before the storm and someone was holding back on something big.

Perhaps at the end of the year, something unexpected will happen.

Time passes day by day

By December, everyone's attention was gradually drawn to some news in the entertainment industry.

The first was that Zhou Xun publicly declared online that Li was the love of her life.

Afterwards, Yu Kexin asked Hua Zai to "borrow seeds"

Then, Song Zude, the businessman who had expressed his intention to give Jin Qiaoqiao a Porsche sports car, revealed in front of the media that Wu Qihua's "recruiting J" was orchestrated by Jin.

Wu Qihua, who had been silent for a year, pointed the finger at his ex-girlfriend Jin Qiaoqiao: "I also suspect that the 'J summoning incident' was concocted by her."

He waited for so long, and finally the day came when his grievances were cleared, but he waited for a full year for this day.

Other stars also released albums or planned new films this month.

Few people are paying attention to last month's "piracy controversy".

Until December 12, the two highest institutions issued the "Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Laws in Handling Criminal Cases of Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights" and it was officially implemented.

This judicial interpretation clearly stipulates that the act of disseminating other people's literary works, music, movies, television, video works, computer software and other works to the public through information networks without the permission of the copyright owner should be regarded as "reproduction and distribution" as stipulated in Article 217 of the Criminal Law, which clearly defines "online piracy" as a criminal act of copyright infringement.

The storm is coming.
