Huayu: From charlatan to great entertainer

Chapter 243: Dragon Knight Finished

There is never a shortage of news in the entertainment industry, especially in this life with Lu Kuan, the extremely destructive butterfly wings.

He is the favorite of entertainment reporters.

I will write whatever I want and joke about it, as long as it is not too serious, I will never care.

Didn’t you see that Zhuo Wei became famous because of the “washing machine” and now he can even open a column on Blog.com?

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the war of public opinion on the Internet in October was a dispute between Wenjie and Huayi.

First, Song Zude took the lead in criticizing Liu Yifei of the "Wenjie system". Everyone could see the presence of that man on her journey from a pure amateur to a top actress in three years.

Then came Zhang Nara, the foreign nun who was good at chanting sutras, from the upper-class status to the film and television resources, as well as the merger with Hunan and Taiwan in marketing.

They all seem to be trying to learn from and surpass Concubine Liu Yi.

Seeing the rapidly rising "Yi Fei" being smeared and her star path dimmed a bit, she did not expect that Boss Lu would retaliate and completely reverse the situation.

After being suppressed and then promoted, Yifei's position in the domestic entertainment industry has become more stable.

As one thing grows, the other shrinks, and Huayi's days become difficult again.

Li Binbin's erotic scandal was exposed, and her image as a pure girl was shattered. She postponed several announcements and stayed at home.
Xiao Gangpao confronted the reporter. Although he received support from people in the entertainment industry, he was boycotted by the reporters. After losing his temper on the spot, he apologized.

Song Zude claimed on his blog that he was coerced into attacking Concubine Liu Yi, and that what he said was all false, pointing the finger at the mastermind behind the incident.

But Zhou Jun quickly silenced him.

He was charged with insult, defamation and provoking trouble, and was fined and confiscated for multiple crimes, which resulted in him being unable to leave the house for three to four years.

Just when everyone was amazed at the fierce counterattack of the Wenjie and thought that the fight between the two tigers would end here, Hunan Taiwan suddenly issued an announcement.

The ratings-topping variety show "Super Girl" in 2004 has just concluded.

Among the top ten contestants, only champion Zhang Jingying and third place winner Zhang Hanyun signed contracts with Wenjie and were assigned to a music studio cooperating with Zhang Yadong for training.

The rest of the contestants, including runner-up Li Yuchun, fourth-place Zhou Bichang, and fifth-place An Youqi, were poached by Tianyu Media, a subsidiary of Hunan TV, in exchange for high liquidated damages!
Everyone thought of the strategic cooperation relationship that had been established between Huayi's Jang Nara and Xiangtai, and regarded this as a sign that Xiangtai had officially ended.

There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

The two companies that worked together to produce the hit "Chinese Paladin" have also parted ways, with Xiangtai semi-officially standing together with Huayi.

Lu Kuan certainly didn't care about this, as it was something he and Long Danni had planned before.

Next year is already 2005, what kind of music are we still going to make and what albums are we going to release?

Looking at the entire history of mainland music development, from 2005 to 2015, mainland musicians did only one thing:

With his own flesh and blood, he has fed batch after batch of digital music platforms.

Baidu launched the MP2002 function in 3, Penguin Music and Kuwo joined in 2005, followed by Xiami and Tiantian Dongting.

This year, Internet giants rose to prominence by stepping on the corpses of mainland pop music, shouting the slogan "The spirit of the Internet is sharing", making piracy a national trend.

If the industry signs so many music artists, spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions to make an album today, and then it’s pirated and sold all over the streets tomorrow, wouldn’t that be terrible?

Of course, top veterans like Jay Chou can still maintain their income. After all, they have other ways to make money, such as concerts, and their fans are very loyal.

Just dig it, it’s not a loss if you earn some penalty.

There was silence for about ten days. Just when everyone thought that both sides had stopped fighting, the domestic entertainment industry was hit again.

In mid-October, the film "Kekexili", which had just premiered, encountered a black swan event.

On the blog, a documentary director named Liu Yujun made a real-name report!

The film "My Tibetan Antelope", which he spent ten years shooting, was plagiarized by the famous director Lu Chuan, and the details and content of the plagiarism were published in the form of text and video in a blog post.

It’s a mess, the whole northwest Shanxi is in chaos!
No one tried to verify the authenticity of the plagiarism at the first time, but turned their attention to Wenjie and Boss Lu.

It was you who did this again, wasn't it?

You can offend no one but the washing machine. If you offend the washing machine, you can’t leave!
The day after Liu Yujun posted the blog, he filed a lawsuit against "Kekexili".

This is a big deal.

Lu Chuan's immediate response with a smile, saying that he would not comment and that the claim was hype, was no longer tenable.

The hype didn’t lead to the court, right?

If you make up stories without any evidence, you will be charged with false accusation and framing!

Or it is said that nothing can be dug deep into. Curious netizens compared the similarities and differences between "Kekexili" and "My Tibetan Antelope" one by one, and suddenly found that this was not a frame-up by Boss Lu.

It’s not unjust that you, Lu Chuan, died. You are truly a literary traitor!

Taro went from being a self-satisfied sophistry, to retreating behind the scenes and refusing to accept interviews, to cursing a certain "villainous young director" in front of the media...

As a result, the General Administration stopped the release of "Kekexili" after about 20 days, and Taro himself had to cheer up and prepare to appear in court to respond to the lawsuit.

If this matter is not handled properly, I am afraid that "Kekexili" will be postponed again at next month's Golden Horse Awards.

Different from the lone army fighting in later generations, Liu Yujun in this life was blessed with mysterious power, and he was quite unreasonable. He ignored Taro's threats and private reconciliation, and just went for it!

The onlookers suddenly realized that Huayi had fallen on hard times again. . .

Hey, why do you say again?
Peking, American Club.

The dinner party organized by Zhou Jun had just ended. Although the result was optimistic, he and the Wang brothers were not in the mood to celebrate.

Why is this road so narrow like a dog-skin plaster?!

It's just that Xiao Niu criticized Liu Yifei. Are you going to fight to the death?
"Okay, why are you still crying?"

Zhou Jun asked the waiter to bring the cigars he had saved, hoping to cheer the two of them up.

This is just the beginning, and the situation is already like this.

How can I take Huayi public if it’s like this? How can I cash out and make a big profit from you?

Wang Dajun's mentality was okay: "Mr. Zhou is right. Huayi has finally taken a big step forward and is getting closer and closer to our goal."

Wang Xiaolei smiled bitterly and said, "It was originally a great thing, but with this grandson interrupting it, it feels a little off."

"Gross! Too greasy!"

Wang Dajun ignored his angry brother and called his secretary who was waiting on the first floor.

"Let's draft a document based on the agreement reached today. The main content is that Tom.com, Yahoo China, and Xinlang will invest in Huayi. This will be a collaboration between a leading internet company and a top domestic private film and television company. The cooperation will include but is not limited to online talent shows, theater business development, film and television production and promotion, etc."

The secretary asked, "What about the $1500 million investment?"

Zhou Jun laughed and said, "Just write it down as $6000 million. We're not a listed company right now, so more oil won't spoil the food!"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou."

In the secretary's opinion, Mr. Zhou, who is inseparable from Huayi, is already the third boss after the two Wangs.

It's just behind the scenes.

Da Jun and Xiao Lei exchanged a glance, raised their glasses, and walked over to Zhou Jun. "Mr. Zhou, we're completely relying on you this time. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to secure such a high-quality partner."

What he said was half true.

The $1500 million is secondary, but Yahoo China is now the number one search engine, and Tom.com is an SP website with Hong Kong capital background.

Plus Xinlang, the current number one portal listed on Nasdaq.

This path of imitating the cooperation model between Blog.com and Wenjie has finally been paved in a proper manner.

Zhou Jun said angrily, "We are brothers, why should I thank you?"

Wang Xiaolei thought to himself, what a fucking brother, he got 7% ​​of the shares without spending a penny!
Huayi itself is a family business. The actual investor is Wang Dajun’s wife, and the shareholders are all family members.

Now Zhou Jun took away 7% of the shares without paying a penny. Originally, Wang Xiaolei didn't feel too bad, but as soon as the $1500 million Series A round was finalized tonight...

This is equivalent to giving him nearly 3000 million yuan!
But without him, such high-quality cooperation resources would not be obtained so smoothly, at least not for the time being.

He suddenly answered a phone call: "Hello? Bingbing?"

"What! This damn road is so wide, are we going to fight to the death?"

"Don't worry, I'll find a way."

Wang Xiaolei hung up the phone, and Da Jun and Zhou Jun both looked at him with confusion.

Nothing can happen to Fan Bingbing!

Li Binbin then began to digest the negative news in seclusion, while another leading actress, Bingbing, who already had access to international fashion resources, had problems again.

Among Huayi’s female artists, there is only one rising star, Jang Nara.

"what's the situation?"

"The show "Single Men and Women" proposed to terminate the contract with Bingbing and was willing to unilaterally pay the penalty."

Neither Zhou Jun nor Wang Dajun was stupid enough to ask why.

What else is there to why?
From Li Binbin, Feng Xiaogang to today's Lu Chuan, isn't this enough to explain?

Zhou Jun sighed. He didn't expect that Lu Kuan was so capable of such tricks.

Forget about Feng Xiaogang, he has always had a bad temper.

But how could he make up stories and take advantage of opportunities when Li Binbin and Lu Chuan were two different things?

Thinking about Lu Kuan's rise to fame and drinking the whiskey with ice cubes, even Zhou Jun, who had always believed in materialism, began to have some doubts.

"I'm going to fly to Hong Kong tomorrow to discuss the Golden Harvest matter with Zou Chongheng. This money is coming early and at the right time."

"As for the film industry, I suggest temporarily shelving the dispute and not confronting them head-on. The mainland film market is so big now, and the number of screens is increasing so rapidly. There's no need to keep fighting."

"I heard that Raymond Chow of Golden Harvest is very concerned about the reputation and ability of the person who takes over. We should not leave too bad an impression on him."

"Resolve the issue of Lu Chuan plagiarizing as soon as possible."

After Zhou Jun finished speaking, he answered a phone call and left, leaving the mess to Wang Da and Wang Xiao.

"Damn it! He was the one who told us to get rid of Concubine Liu Yi, and now we're talking about shelving the dispute!"

"Oh, so it's us who are trying to beg for peace, and he doesn't care anymore, right?"

Wang Dajun couldn't stand his brother's impulsiveness. "Shut up! Do you know they've already walked away? Why are you so arrogant?"

He paced to the door to confirm, then returned and said earnestly: "Don't feel unbalanced, and don't show it. Do you think he can't read your eyes or understand your complaints?"

"From the moment we were offered the standardization project for Zhong Guo Bank's 1.5 branches nationwide, this company became more than just ours. Do you understand?"

Wang Dajun patted his brother's shoulder and said, "The 7 points Zhou Jun got are not small, but we have no choice."

"Now let's look back at Wenjie and Huayi."

"We are better at managing artists. Wang Jinhua has a team with two actresses, and we also have the popular Jang Nara."

"But apart from that, we are lagging far behind in the construction and improvement of the entire industrial chain."

"This is a matter of life and death. Without the financing Zhou Jun brought us, we would have made one wrong move after another."

Wang Xiaolei shook his head. "We don't lack director resources. Xiaogang and Lu Chuan's annual output is sufficient, and Guan Hu will be able to come before the end of the year."

"In terms of TV dramas, Hai Run and Zhang Guoli are collaborating, so it's not necessarily any worse than Ask the World."

He was so angry that he added a few more ice balls to the glass of foreign wine.

"It depends on whether Zhou Jun can negotiate for Jiahe this time."

"With the cinema chain, even if Wenjie holds the distribution resources of the Xiying Studio that they snatched from us, we are not afraid of them. The two sides are still evenly matched."

Wang Dajun hesitated for a moment and said, "First, let's do as Zhou Jun said and talk to Wenjie."

"How can we talk? I'm not going anyway!"

"Don't act on impulse. Please ask President Han to coordinate."

Wang Xiaolei almost laughed in anger. "Old Han? When he helped Wenjie pass the note to Xiying Studio, he was relatively neutral and didn't interfere in the final bidding."

"But now the profits and political achievements brought to him by 'Foreign Land' are more than enough for him to remove those two words from his head!"

"Brother, why don't you go directly to uncle? Ask Director Tong to come forward."

Wang Dajun thought for a moment and felt that this was the only way for the time being.

At this critical moment in the negotiations with Golden Harvest, there really cannot be any more mistakes.

Huayi and the other two planned carefully for a long time, but Boss Lu was still half on vacation and half working in Jiuzhaigou.

On the afternoon of October 10, Dragon Knight finally had his coronation ceremony.

The scene where the Dragon Girl loses her virginity has always been the focus of the audience's attention in every version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", and the styles of directors of different generations have also been very different.

The 1983 Hong Kong TVB version starring Idy Chan was more realistic due to the limited filming technology and production level at the time.

The 1995 version starring Li Ruotong is quite classic, vividly portraying Zhen Zhibing's vulgarity and Xiaolongnu's panic.

Chen Qitai, who plays Zhen Zhibing, captures the timid mentality of a villain very well.

The most controversial one was Michelle Chen’s Xiao Long Bao in 2014. Under Yu Zheng’s direction, the Little Dragon Girl’s state was completely different from other versions. She was held in her arms for less than three seconds, but she was already enjoying it.

Zhen Zhibing: Aunt, don’t look back, I am Yang Guo!

In the 2004 version, Big Beard set up a dreamy shooting method for this scene.

The setting is beautiful, ethereal and spacious, belonging to the aesthetic category of stream of consciousness...

This is mainly because Concubine Liu Yi is too young, and to avoid overly explicit scenes, the stream of consciousness gives the audience a poignant and sad feeling, and is used to focus on expressing Xiaolongnu's inner pain and confusion.

It was not until around 7 o'clock in the evening, when it was dark, that Yu Min called the lighting team to their positions. Lu Kuan and Liu Yifei were already ready on the scene.

What Boss Lu needs to do is very simple.

Concubine Liu Yi was having her acupuncture points pressed under a tree. He walked over from a distance, stroked her cheek, and then gently covered her eyes.

Then he gently tore open a belt.

Then he kissed her lightly on the forehead.

Then. . .

And then that's it. Below are Liu Yifei's personal shots, all kinds of beautiful stream-of-consciousness pictures.

For sensitive scenes, everyone except necessary personnel stayed far away from the set.

Hu Ge chatted with Yang Mi in a casual manner. They added each other on Penguin and left their numbers. Whether it would be successful or not depended on future developments.

But Yang Mi was obviously a little dazed at this time.

She listened to Hu Ge retell Director Lu's evaluation of her acting skills a few days ago.

Frankly speaking, it was a huge blow.

The gap between "how you see yourself" and "how others see you" is too big, which makes Xiao Yang, who prides himself on being both beautiful and talented and who can be confident even when facing Liu Yifei, feel a little lost.

What's more, after filming for the past few days, watching Liu Yifei's familiar and fluent performance, Yang Mi realized that she is not just a "vase" actor.

Is the Golden Lion Award-winning director so good at training actors?
She had seen Liu Yifei's performance in the first few episodes of "The Story of a Noble Family" and found that she was almost a different person from her later performances in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Drummer"!

So envious...

Liu Xiaoli had the most complicated feelings.

She looked at her seventeen-year-old daughter lying under the tree, and Lu Kuan walked towards her with a lustful look.

Inexplicably, I felt a sense of sadness at the impending loss of my beloved daughter.

Fortunately, her goddaughter Su Chang was by her side, but Su Chang could not empathize with her at all.

I don’t know what Aunt Liu is sad about. I’m afraid your good daughter can hardly suppress her smile!

Bird food...

Before filming even started, Yu Min called out "Cut," "Fei Yi, control your expression well. You've been acupunctured. Your face should give off a sense of tranquility and ease."

Liu Yifei was a little embarrassed: "Okay, director."

Restrain! Restrain! Concubine Liu Yi, you are Huang Rong!
Fortunately, these words were not spoken, otherwise Boss Lu, who played Zhen Zhibing, would be even more excited.

"Okay, let's do it again, let's start!"

Lu Kuan, wearing an indigo Taoist robe, walked closer stepping on the dead branches on the ground. The white gauze worn by Concubine Liu Yi fluttered in the wind.

It is quite beautiful, but Liu Yifei burst into laughter again.

"Pfft hahaha!"

At the end of October, a cold wind was blowing in the valley of Jiuzhaigou Bonsai Beach.

Yu Min and Zhang Jizhong: We are from the same crew, just waiting here for you two to flirt, right?
After the fourth NG, Boss Lu couldn't stand it anymore.

"Wait a few minutes, I'll explain the play to her."

Lu Kuan pulled Concubine Liu Yi up from the ground and sat down himself.

He looked at the little girl in plain gauze with amusement: "What are you laughing at?"

"No... your hand touched my face and it felt a little itchy..."

It means that this little girl hasn't figured it out yet, otherwise it wouldn't just be an itchy face.

Concubine Liu Yi suddenly glared at him and said, "Have you brushed your teeth? Otherwise, your mouth will be filled with the smell of cigarettes. It will stink!"

"I'm kissing your forehead, not your mouth, brush your teeth!"

"That won't do either! Go get a bottle of water and rinse your mouth out!" "Also, don't stick your tongue out! I heard a lot of male actors love taking advantage of female actors."

You've read too much gossip!
Who kisses my forehead and sticks out his tongue? Do you think I'm a bootlicker?
Boss Lu deliberately provoked her: "Fan Bingbing and I didn't have such a hard time filming the sex scene, can you do it?"

"What? When did you film the sex scene?!"

"In 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'."

Concubine Liu Yi raised her eyebrows, but she had no right to blame him.

His face turned black and he could only lie down on the ground.

"Hurry up and take the photo, then leave!"

Not interesting!
Boss Lu walked away with a smile, and Yu Min started and walked over cautiously from a distance.

It was still a "caress", and you know what, Xiao Liu's face was so tender and smooth, just like the steamed eggs that the crew ate at noon!
Liu Yifei was completely immersed in the performance. Although she had made sufficient mental preparations, the pair of warm hands brushing against her cheeks still made her feel a sudden palpitation for no reason.

She clenched her fists hanging at her sides, and suddenly felt a warm breath on her forehead, and the man's lips touched her and then left.

The little girl felt a warm current flowing down from her forehead, swirling and surging in her lower abdomen.

What is this feeling? My body and face are so hot...

Yu Min and Zhang Jizhong, who were far away, were amazed when they saw Liu Yifei's reaction through the camera.

Xiaolongnu thought that Yang Guo was having sex with her, and the physical and mental reluctance was portrayed vividly by Concubine Liu Yi.

It is said that being able to cry when you want to cry is the entry standard for an actor, but what about being able to blush when you want to?
On the monitor, Liu Yifei's cheeks were flushed.

On the smooth and tender face, the virgin hair that has not faded is visible.

As the acupoints were opened, the body language of shyness and active response was expressed accurately.

After all, he is a Golden Lion Award-winning director! His ability to train actors is simply amazing!

After the key scenes were performed in one take, Yu Min said "click" and sparse applause broke out from the audience.

Everyone watched as Xiao Liu walked back with a shy and tipsy look on his face, preparing for the next scene with Huang Xiaoming.

Yang Mi: Mixed feelings.

Liu Xiaoli: Mixed feelings.

Su Chang: Rolling his eyes.

Hu Ge: Director Lu is awesome.

The evening breeze is intoxicating, accompanying Xiao Liu to sleep, and tonight's dreams are particularly sweet.

Lu Kuan's scenes had all been finished, and he slept in the hotel until 10 o'clock the next day.

A balance between work and rest is a life truth. After spending a week in Jiuzhaigou like a semi-vacation, Boss Lu's whole spirit and energy are completely different.

He never considered whether this effect was achieved because he had abstained from sex for a week.

There is nothing to worry about in the world, but fools make trouble for themselves. When you turn on your phone again, there are countless missed calls.

Lu Kuan replied to Han Shanping first.

As soon as the call was connected, I heard Lao Han's teasing voice: "Guide, it's okay for you to have fun in Jiuzhaigou, but you're causing trouble for Huayi."

"How can you say that? I've been working non-stop for three years and I've only had a few days off. How can that be considered a disaster for Huayi?"

Han Shanping sneered: "Lu Chuan's father was almost coming to visit, and you almost drove his son away, and you haven't harmed him yet?"

"Oh, that thing. I heard about it. It's embarrassing."

"As the Vice President of the Directors Association, I plan to request that Lu Chuan be expelled from the association when I return. What a joke!"

"Stop, stop, stop talking to me. If it's not the leader's request, I won't get involved in your affairs."

Old Han was helpless seeing that he was stubborn, but since Director Tong had given him the order, he really couldn't shirk his responsibility.

"Let's not play games anymore. Just draw a line. How do we end this?"

Boss Lu laughed and said, "My director friend who was plagiarized said that this matter concerned his ten years of youth."

"I spent ten years of my youth eating ice and snow in the snowy area! Lu Chuan, do you know how I spent those ten years?"

"Plagiarists must pay the price, no negotiation."

Han Shanping was so angry that he laughed: "You two families are going a little too far now."

"Both of them are leading private entertainment companies in China. Don't be so aggressive. Isn't it embarrassing?"

"Come back and sit with the leader."

Boss Lu was furious. If only Old Han had come out to negotiate peace, he could have just lay back and enjoyed himself in Jiuzhaigou.

Now that the big boss has spoken, let’s talk!
By the way, the big boss also has someone he wants, so I can try to get him this time.

Lu Kuan didn't have time to say hello to Liu Yifei and others, and slipped away with his bag.

4 p.m., Film Bureau, No. 40 Xuanwumenwai Street, Xicheng District.

When I knocked on the door and entered the room, Han Shanping was reporting to Director Tong.

"Director, the positive impact of 'Alien Land' is indeed quite strong. Although it's only been out for a month, the number of science fiction films and blockbusters filed for release has increased significantly during this period..."

Boss Lu secretly thought that Old Han still knew the pros and cons, and was taking the initiative to show off his achievements.

You won’t be taken advantage of or suppressed too harshly by your leader.

Anyone could see that Huayi was making efforts behind the scenes, finding people and trying to settle the matter.

Tong Gang didn't even raise his head. He held an old-fashioned fountain pen and wore reading glasses, writing and drawing on the materials. He then made an internal call to ask his secretary to take the documents away and archive them.

"The big director is here?"

"Oh! Chief, aren't you insulting me by saying that?"

Tong Gang was surprised: "Really? I didn't think so. You and Hua Yi, do you still have a sense of awe?"

"You all rely on your wealth and power, and your contributions to mainland China's film industry, and think that without you, things won't work out?"

Han Shanping winked at Lu Kuan, signaling him not to kick.

I am not afraid of criticism from my leader, I am just afraid of his indifference.

Director Tong first gave the "arrogant" young director a warning, and then asked the secretary who came in to make tea.

"Please sit down and try this tea, it's authentic Guangxi Liubao."

"I shamelessly asked for this tea yesterday when I visited an elderly man."

Lu Kuan remained silent, sipping the high-quality black tea, while also savoring the implicit meaning of his leader's words.

This Guangxi Liubao tea is quite famous and was a favorite of old leaders during the Anti-Japanese War and the period behind enemy lines.

Director Tong felt that he had given Lu Kuan enough warnings, and that Lu Kuan was smart enough to understand what he meant.

"Lu Kuan, you have always been a comrade with vision and perspective. Whether in terms of artistic attainments or industry foresight, you are a leader among domestic directors."

"I am now the vice president of the Directors Association and a senior consultant at the Radio and Television Research Institute."

"Your teacher Zhuangzhuang, Lao Han, and I are all very optimistic about your future development and are doing our best to help you grow."

After saying these three sentences of praise, Boss Lu knew that a turning point was coming.

"But with all the recent turmoil, whether it's Huayi or Wenjie, aren't they a bit too much?"

An important responsibility of radio and television is to control the overall situation of the entertainment industry and the direction of public opinion.

On the basis of healthy and sound development of the industry, avoid excessive entertainment.

Just like the crackdown on Hunan TV's Happy Camp and other programs in later generations, the restrictions on Korean culture and travel are all the result of macro-control.

Over the past month, two domestic entertainment companies that rely on the film industry have been fighting each other and exposing each other's secrets on the Internet, causing extremely bad effects.

It has attracted the attention of relevant departments.

Of course, why no one took Liu Yifei seriously when she was being attacked, but she was taken seriously as soon as she took action, this is a matter of opinion.

Boss Lu was upright and honest: "Director, President Han, thank you for your concern and care for me and the world."

"Let's be frank. There are some things I really can't stand, but they really have nothing to do with me, right?"

"The Li Binbin incident was exposed by paparazzi. Director Xiaogang has always had this temper. Who can we blame if he hits and scolds reporters?"

"As for Lu Chuan, I've long seen that this person has bad intentions. As expected, he's a traitor!"

Tong Gang and Han Shanping were both complaining in their hearts that even after talking to this point, he still didn't stop.

Just this clean-cut attitude and thick face of shirking responsibility is enough for many people to learn from for a while.

"Furthermore, things have developed to this point today. Whether it's the trivialities of the Huayi actress and director, or the suspected plagiarism scandal of "Kekexili", they are all matters of public concern."

"I can't influence it at all."

Boss Lu was cheerful at first but then depressed, looking lazy and helpless, and he looked at Han Shanping with amusement.

To prevent Tong Gang from getting angry, he had no choice but to scold him first: "Xiaolu! What are you talking about? The director is protecting you, don't you understand?"

"'Alien Land' has brought honor to the country and to Chinese cinema. Now everyone knows your name."

"But honestly, your reputation isn't very good either. You're a playboy and a scoundrel, and you're always at odds with your peers. You should be careful!"

Tong Gang was speechless looking at the two men, one with a red face and the other with a white face.

Are you putting me, your leader, in trouble? Do you even let me speak?
He tapped the teacup lightly on the table.

"Lu Kuan, this matter is not as simple as you think. It is a question of industry order and healthy development."

"Oh, if everyone is like you, posting big-character posters online whenever there's a little conflict, smearing and attacking each other without any bottom line, do we still have any respect for our cultural industry?"

"What do ordinary people think? What do the higher-ups think?"

"As for whose ideas these things came about, we all know it, so don't blame them."

He stood up, walked over to the young director, and patted him on the shoulder affectionately.

"Some things weigh less than four ounces if not weighed on a scale, but if weighed, they would weigh more than a thousand pounds."

"Let's stop while we're ahead. If the quarrel continues, even if we both get fifty lashes, Wenjie will get a heavier one."

In ancient times, eunuchs were punished by being beaten with sticks, and some of them had their skin torn and flesh bleed out. They had to go home and recover for a week.

Some of them just looked like purple bruises on the surface, but the flesh inside had been beaten to the point of being like torn cotton wool.

To be fair, Tong Gang was able to speak these words to Lu Kuan frankly, which was already out of his intention to protect him.

Some things are just unfair and there's nothing you can do about it.

If he met an ordinary person, Han Shanping would take sides, and Director Tong would demand his attitude, so he was ready to give up and quit while he was ahead.

After all, Huayi suffered a lot of harm, and the public opinion attacks that Li Binbin and Xiao Gangpao endured were much stronger than those in later generations due to deliberate guidance.

In his later life, the little cannon scolded the reporter but did not apologize. In this life, he admitted his mistake after three days and even invited the reporter who blocked his door to his home for tea.

The gesture is very sufficient.

But Boss Lu is not an ordinary person.

If you, Huayi, want to make peace, you have to take something with you, right?
But he couldn't be too arrogant towards Tong Gang and threaten him with a desperate attitude. How could he get this benefit without leaving any trace?

Director Tong and Old Han saw Lu Kuan's expression change drastically, and they slapped their thighs and stood up.

"Two leaders, I'll just be frank!"

"This isn't a movie or company issue at all!"

Boss Lu's acting skills were off the charts. His face flushed red after just two sentences: "Look at what those bastards at Huayi have done."

"Liu Yifei is only seventeen years old, and they're already using people to slander her, accusing her of sex reassignment surgery and abortion. Do they have any humanity or bottom line?"

"Let me be frank. Xiao Liu is my boyfriend, and I can't let anyone bully him like this."

Lu Kuan portrayed himself as an impulsive young man who was determined to save his beloved. He said viciously, "A grown man who can't even protect his own woman, what kind of person is that?"

"I admit it! These things have something to do with me, but if Huayi doesn't cut off two taels of meat today, I won't be able to swallow this anger!"

"How about you talk to Wang Dajun and Wang Xiaolei and tell them to spread rumors about their wives, daughters, and sisters as sluts and whores who can be fucked by anyone?"

Boss Lu was so angry that his eyes were about to turn red. He looked as if he felt sorry for his girlfriend. He turned his back to the two of them, and his breathing was a little rapid because of the outburst he had just made.

Tong Gang looked at Han Shanping in confusion.

Don't you think he's a playboy and has affairs with other women all over the place?

He was so reckless in contradicting me just for a little girl, not even caring about offending the people behind Huayi?

Han Shanping was actually a little dazed.

Are you really coming back this time?
Is he possessed by some kind of spirit?

"This... small road."

Tong Gang's words also softened.

He was entrusted by his leader to mediate the conflict and act as a middleman.

Don't push this "loyal and righteous" young man away any further. It would be bad if he continued to fight Huayi more recklessly.

But think about it, Lu Kuan was only about 22 or 23 years old, and Wu Sangui was so angry for the beauty he loved. It's really no wonder that he was so young and hot-headed.

"Xiaolu, let's put it this way! Huayi was indeed wrong in this matter. No matter what, attacking an underage girl for no reason is a very despicable act."

"I'll make the decision. If you have any requests, I'll make them! Okay?"

He winked at Han Shanping, who followed suit and walked over to put his arm around the young director's shoulders.

"Director Tong loves you so much, can you calm down a little?"

"I'm reminding you, this opportunity may be lost forever. If you need any help from the leadership, please let me know immediately."

Boss Lu turned around, still a little angry. "Boss Han, what are you talking about? I'm not asking Director Tong for this."

"Yes, yes, no one doubts you. Let's just talk about the facts, right?"

Tong Gang looked at him with a half-smile, and this time he could see that what the boy said just now was at least 70% false.

This is using a legitimate excuse to do something illegitimate.

You say he and his peers are fighting each other, spreading rumors and engaging in struggles. That doesn't sound good when it's spread out, and it shows that they are not considering the overall situation.

But they are using the excuse of seeking justice for their boyfriend and girlfriend, but no matter where you go to complain, Huayi, no one will pay attention?

Just like Lu Kuan said, how about I also stigmatize all your female relatives as goods for thousands of people to ride on, are you willing?
No matter whether it is true or not, as long as he can agree to the conditions, at least he has given the matter a try.

He didn't want to do this hard job of being a middleman for even a minute.

On one side are the instructions and favors from the old leader, and on the other side is the stubborn donkey who can't be subdued and is ready to turn against you and kick you at any time.

The key point is that because of Lu Kuan's talent and value, it is difficult to use tough measures against him.

At worst, if you are unhappy, you can just go to Hollywood and make a living. Immigration is also very easy.

Tong Gang stood up with a smile and walked over to the two of them.

"It's normal for young people to have a bit of temper. When I was young, I used to get into fights in the alleys every now and then. It's nothing."

"Tell me, what do you think?"

Boss Lu rubbed his hands awkwardly and suddenly turned his gaze to Old Han.

The latter was shocked!
Judging from his personality, he wouldn't be interested in anything from our China Film Group, right?
"To be honest, Director Tong, I do have an unwelcome request. We are just starting out and are still a small company. China Film Group has some talented people, and I am eager to recruit them, haha."

Han Shanping was slightly relieved: “No, Hua Yi offended you, why are you poaching my people!”

"You just have your eye on those two technical directors of Hualong Digital. Why didn't you just tell me? Why did you have to trouble Director Tong? You really are..."

Boss Lu smiled at him silently, which made Old Han feel uneasy.

This is not a war between two countries. The loser has to cede land and pay compensation. Lu Kuan can't ask for anything from Huayi.

Another thing is that Huayi is now just an artist agency with some advantages in the industry, and many of its artists are in the hands of Wang Jinhua.

Now that Wu Kebo's Chengtian was born ahead of schedule, it is estimated that the collective departure will happen next year, which is not worth making a fuss.

To be honest, Huayi now doesn’t have much worth the world’s attention, but China Film Group does!
Han Shanping guessed wrong. The special effects talents of the state-owned enterprise Hualong Digital can no longer keep up with the technical level of Butian Film, and he has his eyes on someone else.

Boss Lu held Old Han's hand tightly, with a harmless smile on his face: "Boss Han, you are not from Hualong Digital."

"This! What is that?"

Lao Han's expression became visibly stern, and the power of the crew cut in the film industry became apparent!

Tong Gang was also confused. Is there anyone else in China Film Group that he would like?

"New Film Association, Gao Jun."

"what?!"

Han Shanping tried to pull his hand free from Boss Lu, but found that it was held tightly!

Tong Gang smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking to himself, so your anger is not directed at Huayi, you are attracted to Han Shanping!
But Lu Kuan wants to dig this man out because he wants to kill Lao Han!
