I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.
Chapter 268 Counterattack
The script for "Ten Miles of Red Army" has been sent to the commander. Once the commander approves it, the film will soon begin auditions and casting.
How did the reporter find out about this?
You should know that he didn't tell anyone outside the family about this.
Could it have been leaked from Jing Tian's side?
"What genre is the new movie? Is it another historical film?"
"Let's not talk about that now. We can discuss it after the script has been approved."
"Director Cheng..."
The reporter interviewed Cheng Sheng for half an hour before he announced the end of the interview and returned to his company.
The reporters tried to press for more questions, but were stopped outside by the building's security guards.
The reporter returned home disappointed, and soon after, the interview was uploaded to the internet.
Netizens have different opinions on what Cheng Sheng said.
Some people think Cheng Sheng is too conservative and should directly confront those people in Hong Kong.
Some people agree with Cheng Sheng, saying that such things that could provoke conflict between the two places should be handled with care and that no one should try to stir up trouble.
For the next few days, Cheng Sheng remained silent, going about his own business. He didn't bother with things in Hong Kong, leaving it to Xing Aina.
Xing Aina is truly capable; she handles company affairs in an orderly manner, and there has been progress in contacting the daily active users.
Nikkatsu agreed to help Cheng Sheng handle things in Hong Kong, but on one condition.
That means that in the future, the distribution rights for films produced by Cheng Sheng Company in Xiao Rizi Country can only be given to them.
Xing Aina would definitely not agree to such an unfair contract.
Ultimately, we compromised on daily active users (DAU). Given the same price, movies produced by Victory Film Company had to be prioritized based on DAU.
Xing Aina certainly wouldn't object to this, as it would also be beneficial for them. In the future, they wouldn't need to search for people everywhere to distribute their films in Japan; they could simply sell them directly to Nikkatsu.
After discussions, both parties signed a contract.
Nikkatsu has also started doing things.
Nikkatsu sent over a hundred lawyers directly to Hong Kong.
Such a large-scale event as the daily active users naturally attracted a lot of attention.
They were all very shocked. What was this Nikkatsu doing?
Hundreds of lawyers went to Hong Kong. Is this to challenge Hong Kong's laws, or to file a lawsuit there?
Just when everyone was confused.
On their first day in Hong Kong, the Nikkatsu team submitted over a thousand lawsuits to the Hong Kong courts.
They sued thousands of Hong Kong residents in court.
For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
What on earth is wrong with this daily activity?
Did you come to Hong Kong just to sue these people?
Moreover, the defendants come from all walks of life, including celebrities, restaurant owners, dockworkers, business elites, directors, and so on.
People in Hong Kong were a little confused.
But when everyone saw the charges against these defendants, they understood.
He faces more than a dozen charges, including defamation, framing, and insult.
These charges are all related to the movie "Three Kingdoms".
In an instant, everyone was stunned.
Wasn't "Three Kingdoms" a movie directed by Cheng Sheng?
What's with this daily active user (DAU) activity?
Shouldn't Cheng Sheng be the one to sue them for this?
"Damn it! These people at Nikkatsu are completely unreasonable. What does Romance of the Three Kingdoms have to do with them? Why would they stand up for that bastard Cheng Sheng?"
“That brat Cheng Sheng is lying. Not only did he refuse to take the challenge, but he also brought Japanese people to Hong Kong. He’s really despicable.”
In a villa in Hong Kong, Wu Baige angrily cursed, "Director Wu, now is not the time to be angry. Let's think about how to resolve this! There are more than a dozen defendants in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and they are all standing up for you because of you."
Zeng Zhiwei, looking worried, said that he was also one of the defendants.
"Yes, Director Wu, everyone is very worried now. Many people are even losing their motivation to film. They are all waiting for your reply."
Another well-known Hong Kong celebrity said anxiously.
"That's not all! Several advertisers came to me to terminate their contracts after hearing that I was being sued, and they even wanted to pay a large sum of money in damages."
Du Ze smiled wryly.
“You only have a few ads! All my endorsements are gone, even the ones I was negotiating fell through, but as long as it hurts Cheng Sheng and mainlanders, money doesn’t matter.”
He Yunshi said disdainfully.
“You’re so high and mighty, you have a great mentor and don’t have to worry about money, but we all have to earn money to support our families. Now that we’ve lost our advertising endorsements, even our dramas are going to be cut. Without exposure, how are we supposed to become famous and make money from our fans?”
"Director Wu, you have to find a way to resolve this for us. If we really go to court, our future will be over. The entertainment industry won't use artists who have made mistakes."
"I thought I could create conflict between the mainland and Hong Kong, but I never expected that bastard Cheng Sheng would actually shift the internal conflict to the outside world and let the Japanese entertainment industry in Japan come after us. He is really too insidious."
Listening to what the people present were saying, Wu Baige was extremely annoyed. She said coldly, "You need to understand one thing: what does it have to do with me if I don't have any acting opportunities or if I terminate my endorsement contracts? I didn't ask you to stand on my side. Those were the things you said to the reporters yourselves."
Shameless!
Those present couldn't help but darken their faces; this meant they were being snubbed.
"Director Wu."
Among so many people, Zeng Zhiwei had the highest status and position. He stared at Wu Baige with a sinister look in his eyes and said angrily.
Wu Baige knew he had spoken too harshly, but after being flattered for so long, he wasn't about to apologize to these people.
"Humph!"
He snorted coldly, turned around, and said, "This is all your fault for being caught red-handed. I also said online that Cheng Sheng won, so why haven't any Japanese media outlets sued me?"
"Director Wu, we're not blaming you, we just want you to give us some advice."
Du Wen then shamelessly replied.
"What ideas can I have?"
"Director Wu, then I'll be frank. We've all suffered significant losses in this incident and need compensation. You're a big director with many connections, so why don't you use some resources to compensate everyone?"
Huang Qiu said calmly.
The others nodded in agreement.
"Yes, just give us some resources."
"I don't need many, just one second male lead role will do."
"Three films, I guess! As long as it's not a minor role."
"I……"
Upon hearing this, a hint of mockery flashed in Wu Baige's eyes.
What kind of people are they?!
Hong Kong's entertainment industry has declined; why would they still want resources?
This is all about taking advantage of themselves.
"Get out, all of you get out."
Wu Baige roared angrily without any pleasant expression.
The expressions of those present changed; they hadn't expected Wu Baige to actually break off all pretense of civility.
"You bastard, Wu Laogou, you just wait."
Zeng Zhiwei is a big shot in the industry, and few people dare to give him a hard time. If it weren't for Wu Baige's Hollywood resources, he would have turned against this bastard long ago. Why would he still be sitting on his side opposite Cheng Sheng?
He left with a dark expression after saying just one sentence.
Seeing this, the others also left in anger. (End of Chapter)
