This director is vindictive.

Chapter 100 Movies shine into reality
Speaking of Chen Sicheng, Chen Sicheng has been inexplicably being watched by paparazzi these past two days. They came up to him and asked him questions about him and Li Cheng, and also asked him what he thought about the Stab-in-the-Knife incident, and then asked if Huishuang is also your brother?

It left him stunned.

The key point is that many netizens are eating melons and don’t let him go, after all, they are brothers in the entertainment industry.

"Li Cheng, your uncle!" He couldn't guard against these paparazzi. After returning home and knowing the details of what happened, he couldn't help but curse.

It's simply a disaster.

"No, I have to stay away from them. This Stab-In-The-Back Cult is really poisonous, right?" The more Chen Sicheng read the information on the Internet, the more he felt that those people in the Stab-In-The-Back Cult were really poisonous.

He felt a chill when he thought that he was not only a close friend of Li Cheng, but also of Du Chun. Especially Du Chun, he could not understand Du Chun's behavior at all.

"Damn!" Thinking of all the bad things that happened to him, as if they all knew about it, Chen Sicheng couldn't stay calm.

We have to be on guard, after all, Du Chun and the previous Chen Mo were brothers.

If he could stab Chen Mo twice, it's not impossible for him to stab himself twice!
Even if he couldn't, he didn't want to be dragged out by others and have a wave of "brothers from the entertainment industry" come along with him because of Du Chun and Li Cheng, who had stabbed him in the back, like this time!

The point is, who the hell are these people?
That guy named Emblem used a royal bomb to directly defeat three opponents.

He really didn't understand his thought process.

So the more he thought about it, the more screwed he felt. And it was a good thing that he treated Li Cheng as a brother. Look, just because of such a small matter, he made a fool of himself in front of the media last time.

This matter started with the promotion of the TV series "Yanjing Love Story". At that time, Li Cheng was very unhappy with him because he changed the script, saying that he valued women over friendship. He still felt a little guilty about it, so when the reporter asked him about it, he said that they had been drinking together two days ago.

But Li Cheng just said directly that he hadn't been in touch for a long time.

It made him so embarrassed that he wanted to pick his feet.

Although, he did put women before friends, but Yaya is really beautiful, it is understandable that he, as a man, can't control himself, right?

Besides, as a brother, I have tried my best to persuade you to just consider it as helping your brother. You just keep saying that I value women over friends, but why the hell don’t you talk about helping your brother to pursue his sister-in-law?
In fact, the reason why he thought of this matter only now was mainly because he and Li Cheng had not broken up at that time, so naturally he did not think too much about it. They were good brothers at that time.

Chen Mo naturally didn't know that Chen Sicheng had also suffered an unexpected disaster because of his relationship with Li Cheng, and was now almost like a frightened bird.

Chen Mo is currently busy with the post-production of "Search".

At the same time, he also contacted Hongjing Law Firm. Although "Search" would have attracted a lot of attention with normal publicity, Chen Mo wanted to go further.

How to go one step further? Let the movie illuminate the reality!
How does it reflect reality? Of course, there are not so many coincidences.

Because Chen Mo made major changes in this version of "Search", and the ending was also changed.

Therefore, if there are real cases of cyber violence and online defamation happening simultaneously, the publicity effect will be absolutely explosive.

"Lawyer Ouyang, nice to meet you again." Chen Mo smiled and sat in front of Ouyang Jing.

"Director Chen has changed so much in the past two years!" Ouyang Jing sighed. Two years ago, Chen Mo was just a small actor, but now, two years later, he has become a famous director with a box office of over 500 million. The changes in his status, position and achievements are visible to the naked eye.

In addition, Chen Mo's Shengshi Pictures and Hongjing Law Firm have maintained a cooperative relationship in the past two years.

"Director Chen, is there a case that you came to see me about this time?" Ouyang Jing asked curiously.

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Well, my new film, 'Search,' is about cyberbullying, so I was wondering if I could find a real-life case and use it as a catalyst for the film. It would be a great way to promote both the case and the film."

Ouyang Jing's eyes suddenly lit up.

If we talk about the Stab-in-the-Back incident, the biggest beneficiary besides Chen Mo himself is undoubtedly Hongjing Law Firm.

As the lead law firm in the first online defamation case, Hongjing became famous after that case, especially in Internet-related cases, as that incident brought in a lot more cases.

However, Ouyang Jing couldn't help but let out a wry smile and said, "Although there have indeed been a lot more related cases since that case two years ago, there have actually been very few prosecutions."

"Lawyer Ouyang, has your firm paid attention to any news on this topic recently? I think we can take the initiative in this kind of thing." Chen Mo said with a smile.

In fact, this is because that time was not the era of information explosion or the era of "everyone understanding the law".

Therefore, many people who encounter cyberbullying or other similar situations would never think of filing a lawsuit.

On the one hand, it is because self-prosecution requires costs, and on the other hand, it is because people do not understand the relevant laws and regulations.

So even though the Stab-in-the-Knife Cult case caused a lot of controversy, in reality, there are not many cases like online defamation that actually go through legal procedures.

But has cyberbullying disappeared? This is unlikely.

So Chen Mo thought, since there is no ready-made case, why not take the initiative to find it himself?

"Take the initiative?" Ouyang Jing was stunned for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "What does Director Chen mean?"

"What I mean is that cases like cyberbullying and online defamation usually have news qualities of their own, so the law firm can take the initiative to find the victim," said Chen Mo.

"This..." Ouyang Jing hesitated because there was no such precedent.

"Or, our 'Search' crew can set aside a sum of money as special legal aid funds for cyber violence. The victims don't need to pay. Our crew can help pay this money so that your firm can provide free legal aid to these people. How about it?" Chen Mo said again.

"That's no problem, but it takes time to find suitable cases." Ouyang Jing nodded and said.

"Then I'll wait for good news from Lawyer Ouyang." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Although we have entrusted Hongjing Law Firm, we still need to make preparations for both scenarios.

He also asked Zhao Ming to find a few people to search and collect relevant news on the Internet in an attempt to find suitable cases.

As for the keyboard warriors who might be prosecuted in the case, they deserve it. Chen Mo does not feel any psychological pressure at all.

Of course, such cases are not so easy to find. After all, people's violence back then was not as great as it is in the mobile Internet era, and the release and dissemination of information was not as convenient as it is in later generations, so there were relatively fewer cyberbullying incidents.

However, what Chen Mo didn't expect was that on just the third day, lawyer Ouyang Jing from Hongjing Law Firm called and said that they had found a suitable case.

"This case was forwarded to me by a colleague. The victim is a graduate student. She has been defending her rights on her own after being cyberbullied. However, because the people involved are on the Internet and she is just a student, she has been doing her best. So far, there is still no clear result, and the cyberbullying is still continuing." Ouyang Jing said.

"In fact, the reason why this female student tried to defend her rights has something to do with you," Ouyang Jing said again.

"Oh? Is it because of the internet defamation case?" Chen Mo was stunned for a moment and then asked.

"Yes, this case has been transferred to our law firm. Here is some information you can take a look at." Ouyang Jing said as she handed Chen Mo a document.

Chen Mo opened it and started reading.

The cause of this cyberbullying incident can be said to be a bit unbelievable.

Just because this female college student dyed her hair pink!

Yes, the whole incident was caused by her pink hair.

Because the female college student was studying at a normal college, after receiving the admission notice, she was reluctant to even open the envelope of the notice, because she wanted her grandfather on the hospital bed to see the admission notice first.

In this document, there is a picture and text post shared by the girl on Weibo, in which she talks about her grandfather's care for her along the way. To her, her grandfather is the person who loves her most in the world, and being her grandfather's pride is also one of her motivations for taking the postgraduate entrance examination.

But she never imagined that this ordinary sharing would cause her to be labeled with countless "stinky" labels overnight!
Below are some screenshots of comments made by cyberbullies that this female college student captured during her rights protection campaign.

Hostesses, nightclub dancers, indecent people, fairies, red-haired monsters. What's worse, some people label the group, saying "people who dye their hair are not good people", "art students are not good students", "they are not fit to be teachers".

And all this, just because she dyed her hair pink.

"A graduate student dyed her hair like a bar hostess."

"Even hostesses can get a master's degree!" "You can tell they're not serious people!"

"Grandpa, you have to hold on! In three years, I'll be able to study for a PhD in DJing. My 20 yuan monthly tuition is all up to you!"

Etc., etc.

Chen Mo looked at the notarized "evidence" collected by these girls. Just by looking at it, he could imagine how much pressure the girl must have been under when the malice of those strangers she had never met came like a tide.

In fact, the girl is strong. Faced with online violence, she called the police immediately, and with the help of her teacher, she contacted social media platforms and lawyers to start defending her rights. She also updates the progress of her rights protection on social platforms at all times.

She was like a brave warrior, constantly defending her own and her grandfather's rights.

She saved the curses and insults on various platforms by taking screenshots or recordings, and printed them into a thick book.

Unfortunately, the road to rights protection is too difficult.

What's worse, those trolls looked at her posts about the progress of her rights protection and shouted arrogantly.

“Pretending to be weak, but actually a troll!

Why aren't you suing me? Because you're in the wrong, right? Or are you afraid to confront me because I'm a Hangzhou native?
You only dare to let netizens report me. You feel insecure, right? Your grandfather will definitely not be able to rest in peace if he knows you are like this. I still say that here, Chinese, math, English, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, and history will not leave a single fan head!"

Chen Mo felt a little sorry for the girl. What kind of person is she!
"Does this person know the other party's identity?" Chen Mo asked doubtfully.

Ouyang Jing took a look and nodded: "Yes, because the IP is from the girl's hometown!"

"Why do you think these people are cursing? Are they unhappy with their lives?" Chen Mo was puzzled.

Ouyang Jing shook her head. "There are a few people whose identities have been verified, and this girl is one of them. The girl who keeps posting insults at her actually comes from a very well-off family. The reason for her insults is very simple, she's just in a bad mood."

"Are you in a bad mood? What kind of excuse is that?" Chen Mo couldn't help but swear.

"This is relatively normal. There is another person whose identity has been ascertained. He is a graduate of criminal law and also has a grandfather who is over 90 years old at home." Ouyang Jing added.

Chen Mo was really silent. He didn't quite understand what was going on with these people.

After a long pause, he asked, "How is it going? Can we sue this case? To what extent can we sue? Don't worry about the funding!"

Ouyang Jing pondered for a moment and said, "At present, it is certainly possible to sue her, but her situation is completely different from yours."

"In your case, because the other parties were celebrities with real-name verification, and the evidence was solid, the number of reposts and clicks easily met the requirements for filing a case, but her situation is different."

"At present, although these remarks can also be subject to the crimes of defamation and insult, not many of them meet the standards in terms of the number of reposts, actual clicks and views," Ouyang Jing analyzed.

"Since you recommended this case to me, there must be a way, right?" Chen Mo asked.

Ouyang Jing nodded and said, "Aren't you planning to tie the cyberbullying incident into the promotion of the movie 'Search'? I think if this gets publicized, it should easily meet the criteria for filing a case. For cyberdefamation, the criteria for filing a case are one aspect, as well as the social impact and the degree of impact on the parties involved. These factors will all affect the trial and verdict of the case."

Chen Mo immediately understood what Ouyang Jing meant.

Although there are many people involved in this incident, it has not yet become widely known, so these people are fearless.

Especially the one who was so arrogant even though he knew that the female college student was already defending her rights. Why?
Because obviously, even if you call the police or file a lawsuit, it will not have any substantial deterrent effect on the other party.

"If this matter is publicized, will it cause greater harm to the victim?" Chen Mo asked with a frown.

"What you are worried about is also what we are worried about. Her condition is actually very bad. She has suffered from depression because of this incident and is receiving treatment. So, you still need to communicate with the person involved for the specific situation." Ouyang Jing nodded.

"She is already in the law firm. Do you want to meet her?" Ouyang Jing asked again.

"She's in the law firm? Of course I want to meet her." Chen Mo said hurriedly.

Soon, Chen Mo saw the "pink girl", but her hair had been dyed black at this moment.

This in itself also shows how much pressure she was under during this cyberbullying incident.

At this moment, the female college student looked very tired.

"Hello, Miss Zheng, my name is Chen Mo, and I'm a director." Chen Mo took the initiative to step forward and said.

"Chen Mo? I know you!" The girl's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw Chen Mo.

"Oh? You know me?" Chen Mo sat down opposite her.

"Yes, you were slandered and cyberbullied, but you were also the first person to actually use legal weapons to protect your rights, and the first one to succeed! It is because I know your deeds that I can insist on defending my rights." said the girl.

"It's just... It's really difficult." The girl said a little frustratedly.

"Don't be discouraged. By the way, why did you dye your hair black? I saw your previous photos, and your pink hair was very beautiful." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"I feel this hair is too heavy for me." The girl touched her hair and whispered.

"You still have to be strong. Look at me. I was slandered like that back then. I was wrongly accused and forced to apologize, but what happened? The perpetrator was sent to prison, and everyone else received the punishment they deserved.

"Don't you want to see those people who slandered you online and were malicious and arrogant, crying bitterly and regretting their actions in court?" Chen Mo said.

"I want to, of course I want to, but I can't do it!" A glimmer of hope flashed in the girl's eyes, but then dimmed again.

"You can do it! I can help you! Lawyer Ouyang can also help you! Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, you must be strong, because if you want to do these, in the next period of time, your incident may be seen by more people, and we cannot ensure that there will not be more malicious attacks." Chen Mo said.

"I'm not afraid, as long as those people can be punished!" the girl said with a firm face.

"Then we have a deal!" Chen Mo said as he stretched out his hand and high-fived the girl.

After communicating with the girl, Chen Mo was still not at ease. He had to be on guard against some things.

Although the girl looked very strong, Chen Mo didn't dare to really believe that she could wait until the day when all the hardships would be over and sweet would come.

We still have to find someone to insure her, and it would be best if we could get her away from this vortex temporarily.

Ouyang Jing also agreed with Chen Mo's concerns, because once the news became public, anything could happen.

It is difficult to say whether cyberbullies will be frightened and restrain themselves, or become more aggressive.

When Chen Mo and Jing Tian were chatting together, they mentioned this matter and the rich young woman volunteered.

"Well, I've taken on another drama. It's a good opportunity for her to go with me and be my assistant. I can pay her a salary." Jing Tian suddenly said a little embarrassedly.

"You've taken on another role?" Chen Mo looked confused.

"What play?" he asked again.

"'Getting Better and Better: Village Evening.'" Jing Tian said.

Chen Mo was speechless. What the hell was this? The title reminded him of a bad movie. However, he quickly felt relieved. Whatever, as long as she liked it, that was fine.

"That's fine, but you have to get along well with others." Chen Mo said helplessly.

"Yeah! Don't worry, I will definitely take her to have fun!" Jing Tian said happily.

Chen Mo was speechless as always about the rich woman's taste in film selection, but leaving this matter to her was indeed a good idea.

Now that you have no worries, you can start the next step.

The publicity department quickly announced that a new film press conference would be held for Chen Mo’s new film “Search”!
