HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 413 [413] Your idea of ​​not holding grudges means killing someone, right?

The elevator guy really broke down my defenses.

He thought Qi Yuan would at most make a few sarcastic remarks.

People often engage in back-and-forth banter, which is very common both domestically and internationally.

Those underground rappers in the American music scene are pretty arrogant, aren't they? Diss culture is rampant there.

On the surface, they seem to be attacking their competitors quite harshly, but a closer look reveals that they are very measured.

It's nothing more than mocking the other person's rapping skills and accusing them of plagiarizing their style.

The more extreme methods involve personal attacks, such as calling the other person ugly, saying they lost their father at a young age, asking when they were cheated on, or accusing them of dating someone else's girlfriend...

These things would be considered serious domestically, but they're nothing special over there; they don't even cause any real pain.

Would they dare to utter a single word about their real dark history, such as parties, islands, and gun violence? No.

Because there's something called rules!
People in this industry do it to make money, and there's an unspoken bottom line that everyone silently adheres to.

It's acceptable to attack the other party's minor, harmless points, get some venting, and gain some attention in the process.

If things really come to a head and everyone's past is exposed, how many people are truly innocent? Then nobody's going to survive; we'll all be doomed.

To borrow a famous line, you can't risk your life! How will you make money if you risk your life?

There's no difference between domestic and international practices; the only difference is the standards, but the rules remain the same.

In the elevator man's view, what Qi Yuan was doing was tantamount to flipping the table and breaking the rules of the industry, so he was extremely angry!
"That bastard! He's gone mad, has Warner gone mad too? How could they allow him to come out and say these things?"

The man in the elevator almost ground his teeth to powder.

Can Qi Yuan really say he's completely innocent? Qi Yuan can mess with him, but isn't he worried about Qi Yuan getting back at him? At worst, they'll all die together. If he doesn't have a good time, Qi Yuan won't have a good time either.

"Immediately warn that scoundrel's manager and demand that he issue a public apology to me!"

……

On the internet across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

Even in the middle of the night, the netizens watching the live text and image broadcast were all full of energy.

Wow! That's really incredible! Is this something we can talk about openly?
That night, many people were stunned, and many people's idealized image of the God of Gamblers, Little Ma, was shattered.

"Holy crap! Someone tell me, is the God of Gamblers really like that? I always thought he was a good person."

"Good guy my foot! There used to be a rumor in the Hong Kong entertainment circle about a deaf actor who would stick his tongue out during kissing scenes. Even after the director yelled 'cut,' he would keep kissing the actress, and people had to pull him away. Can you guess who he was talking about?"

"The actress who was beaten is surnamed Li, and she married a kung fu superstar. Anyone who knows a little about the Hong Kong entertainment industry knows that Qi Yuan is not a smear campaign; he just recounted what someone did."

"It's disgusting! How can someone like this be popular for so many years? I used to have some positive feelings towards him because of those classic Hong Kong movies, but now they're completely shattered."

……

The public's perception of the "elevator guy" has begun to deteriorate rapidly in China, and it's an irreversible decline.

Qi Yuan's influence was too great. Once his past deeds were brought to light, the whole country knew his true colors, which effectively cut off his source of income in the mainland.

What alarmed the elevator team even more was that the whole country's media was reporting on the incident.

[The true face of "Little Ma" exposed: overnight he went from a veteran actor to a scoundrel who bullies actresses?]

Qi Yuan criticizes veteran actor, saying that people with terrible character don't deserve respect!

[Are Hollywood stars really just embellishing their own reputations? A look at how much money this star lost on his Hollywood films!]

...The elevator man's agent made several calls to Zhang Hao and finally got through.

She was furious: "Zhang Hao, for the sake of our years of acquaintance, I'm warning you, make your artist issue a public apology immediately!"

Zhang Hao also has a temper. Next year, when Zhou Jianhui is promoted to President of the Asia-Pacific region, he will be promoted as well.

Who is the elevator guy's agent? Does he still think of him as that greenhorn agent he was a decade or two ago?

He retorted forcefully: "Did our Ah-Yuan name names? Be careful, or we'll sue you for defamation! We learned this trick from you guys."

Zhang Hao hung up the phone.

The other party was furious and began to collect dirt on Qi Yuan, intending to expose her past.

They were stunned when they dug deeper. Apart from a few rumors about dating female celebrities, Qi Yuan really didn't have any other scandals.

Even the leaky schemes that almost everyone in the industry was doing didn't apply to Qi Yuan; Qi Yuan paid the full amount every year.

In the entertainment industry, Qi Yuan can be described as exceptionally clean!

This is the source of Qi Yuan's confidence to overturn the table!
The elevator man and his agent were stunned. Only now did they realize what kind of ruthless character they had messed with.

As if things weren't going to go wrong, even worse things began to happen one after another.

First, Konka Mobile, a mainland Chinese mobile phone manufacturer, announced that it had terminated its contract with him, and some smaller brands followed suit.

The mainland directors and investors who had contacted him and expressed interest in having him make movies with them also withdrew and stopped paying attention to him.

The elevator man completely broke down.

"Damn it! Why? Are these people blind? Just because he said a few words of nonsense, they're terminating my contract and refusing to work with me anymore? Is there not a single person in the entire mainland who knows what's good for them?"

The agent sighed: "Qi Yuan's influence in China is just too great. His fan base is enormous, and with media outlets across the country reporting on what he's said, the situation is really unfavorable for us."

If things continue like this, we really won't be able to get any scripts or commercial endorsements in mainland China anymore.

"How about... we make peace? Let Du Qifeng, Liu Dehua, and Zhang Guorong try to contact Qi Yuan's side."

The loss of the mainland market was a fatal blow to him.

Hong Kong films rely on the mainland, a huge box office market, to make money. He's universally hated in the mainland, and Hong Kong film companies dare not hire him to make movies. How will he survive in the mainland in the future?
Want to spend his whole life in Hollywood? He'd like to.

He knew how hollow his title of international superstar was; it could only fool those who didn't know the industry. In reality, he was box office poison in Hollywood.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" at most gives Hollywood another chance to try.

If his box office poison status kicks in again, he will absolutely pack his bags and get out of Hollywood!
Before he has established a firm foothold in Hollywood, he dares not say that he can completely abandon the domestic market.

So he reluctantly agreed to the peace talks strategy!

At the same time, he made a solemn vow in his heart that once he became as successful as Jackie Chan in Hollywood, he would see how he would deal with Qi Yuan, that damn loser!
……

Two days later, on August 2nd, Qi Yuan's 23rd birthday, he made another public appearance.

He told the reporter who interviewed him: "Recently, some friends have contacted me. They are all very good people and told me to be forgiving when possible."

I wholeheartedly agree! Those who know me well know that I'm a very easygoing person in private and never hold grudges.

Reporter: 'Really? We don't believe it!'

You don't hold grudges? You made Wu Baige lose face and ruined Zhou Ruifa's public image. You say you don't hold grudges?
What Qi Yuan said next left all the reporters stunned! You call this not holding grudges?

Your idea of ​​not holding grudges is to kill someone. Once they're dead, the grudge is gone, so naturally you won't hold a grudge anymore, right?
