In the entertainment industry, everyone has been reborn, but who will be their servant?

Chapter 13 People-oriented
These words made the Chinese people present somewhat dissatisfied, and frankly, somewhat disheartened.

Americans are so arrogant.

"I just don't understand, why are you so protective of that person?" Wang Zhongjun was also very dissatisfied.

His dissatisfaction stemmed from the fact that all it would take to minimize the damage and calm things down was a personal apology, but this person stubbornly refused to comply.

“I said Matthew is American, but being punished and apologizing is not enough,” Ferre retorted without backing down.

He can't do that, and he doesn't dare to do it; if he did, he'd get scolded.

“How about this: Matthew doesn’t apologize, but we tell him to behave himself in the future, and the investors give us more money to improve their treatment and wages. That way, the matter will be over,” Hendrik Willem Van Loon suggested.

In fact, he understands Ferre's concerns very well. Just like when Jack played a villain in a Hollywood movie, and even played a "dog"-like role, it seriously hurt the feelings of the Chinese people.

If he made an American apologize to a Chinese person, he'd be torn to shreds when he got back.

Actually, the whole world is the same; they all value national dignity and honor. But Qin Xuan would definitely want to protect the dignity of his own people.

"Spend more money? That's easy to say. The domestic market is so small. If Huayi spends more money, we won't make any money." Wang Zhongjun was not in favor of spending more money.

He can't enjoy the international market for this film; he only has the distribution rights for the domestic market.

In today's domestic box office market, a movie that can earn tens of millions of yuan is considered a great film; it's considered very small.

Hendrik Willem Van Loon remained silent, which was somewhat difficult to deal with.

"I don't dare agree to this either. I just don't understand, just because he's white and an American, does that mean he's superior? Does that mean I, a Chinese person, am not superior?" Qin Xuan seized the opportunity to press Ferreira.

He had come to understand the complex web of interests among the various parties, and that there were also internal disagreements among them.

Ferré claimed he was protecting Matthew, but in reality, he was protecting his American citizenship; Huayi wanted to resolve the matter but was concerned about the consequences; Hendrik Willem Van Loon acted as a lubricant, but dared not side with Ferré.

Because this involves a matter of principle; if people find out that he helped foreigners bully Chinese people, then things won't be good.

You can say what's wrong with your crotch, and everyone can just take it as gossip, that's what men are like, but you... right?

Therefore, Qin Xuan could completely side with Wang Zhongjun and Fang Long, collectively pressuring Ferre to compromise.

“Apologize to you? Do you deserve it?” Ferre, who couldn’t stand him, stirred up trouble here.

"How can you say we're not worthy!"

Qin Xuan retorted directly, saying, "Oh, you sing about equality and freedom so well, but when you go to other countries you bully others and feel so at ease, and you don't even apologize. What kind of logic is that?"

Let me tell you, we also believe in putting people first. Just because you're American or something doesn't mean you can bully others at will. That's not allowed.

He looked at Fang Long and Wang Zhongjun and said, "Brother Fang Long, President Wang, many things have been brewing for a long time. Since the losses have already been incurred, I apologize on behalf of everyone. But if we want to settle this matter, the prerequisite is that Matthew must apologize."

He finished speaking and glanced at Director Huang.

"Well said, people-oriented." Director Huang expressed his support for him, acknowledging that the man's thinking was sound, and that he had to stand by him even if he didn't want to.

But his words were so persuasive that they made people emotional.

Another thing is that he's too clever. In the following paragraph, he clearly tries to bring Wang Zhongjun and Fang Long into the same camp to fight against Paifei Lei together.

Those who remained silent also sided with Qin Xuan, mainly because the majority of people present were Chinese.

Wang Zhongjun kept a sullen face. Since Director Huang had spoken, he didn't know what to say. He just stared intently at Qin Xuan, having not paid much attention to him earlier.

He's so good at stirring up people's emotions, and those people even consider him their representative. Could this be the person behind this? The main thing is that this matter is a bit strange; so many people have never been involved before.

More of these kinds of things happen to the crews of China Film Group and Bona Film Group, and they're all fine, but this happened to his "The Forbidden Kingdom".

“What you said makes sense. There’s no need to categorize people as superior or inferior. Ferre, why don’t you call Relativity? The filming has reached a crucial point, and it’s not good to stop like this.” Hendrik Willem Van Loon glanced at Qin Xuan, then looked at Ferre.

If you want to give him a way out, instead of you showing up, have your company step in. This is none of your business, right?

Ferre's sunken eyes held resentment as he scanned the people present. Seeing that they were all staring at him put an invisible pressure on him.

"What exactly do you want?" he shouted angrily.

"Not for what? I just want you to regain the equality and freedom you've lost." Qin Xuan was capable of attacking.

Using someone else's slogans to attack them is honestly a bit disrespectful.

But no one here will speak up for Ferre, because Qin Xuan has escalated the conflict to an unknown level, so who would dare to act recklessly?

"You've gone too far!" Ferre exclaimed angrily.

"You're feeling really bad right now, but when you were bullying others, did you ever care about their feelings?" Qin Xuan stared at him.

Their eyes met, the tension palpable, but one remained calm and composed while the other was provoked into a rage.

Director Huang leaned back in his chair, admiring the young man. He was quite impressive to have pushed the Americans to this point.

Of course, he also knew that the main reason was that Ferre had been abandoned by his allies, otherwise things wouldn't have turned out this way.

"Alright, I'll go with you to make a call to Relativity. Mr. Wang, you come too." Henri realized that things weren't going to continue like this, and it would only put them in a passive position as well.

They dared not stand up for Ferreira, nor dared to utter a single word; continuing the stalemate would only lead to further backlash.

Wang Zhongjun didn't speak, but as he stood up, he gave Qin Xuan a close look. He became increasingly suspicious that this man was the mastermind.

They are so calm and composed; which young person could have that kind of composure in front of them?

Ferre was reluctantly pulled away, and after they left, the place fell silent for a moment. Minkoff also silently lifted the curtain and left; he was also an American and felt uncomfortable staying there.

"What's your name?" Director Huang asked.

"Qin Xuan." Qin Xuan was speechless. Didn't they say that before? They're all so forgetful.

"Oh right, Qin Xuan." Director Huang wasn't embarrassed; he had indeed forgotten, and he hadn't taken it seriously when he mentioned it before.

“You’ve really offended some people this time. Although Hua Yi and Fang Long are on your side on the surface, they’re only doing so because of their interests and status. Once those things are gone, you might be the one to be sacrificed.” Director Huang saw things clearly.

Those two had no choice but to stand on his side, but if they reached an agreement, he would have to be dealt with. They had to give an explanation to Relativity Media and establish their authority, so they had to sacrifice him.

After all, he was the one who spoke out in this matter.

Qin Xuan paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, but some things are hard to control. We've already caught up with it, so we have no choice but to do it."

"Yes, but is it worth sacrificing yourself for everyone's benefit?" Director Huang stared at him.

"I don't know if it's worth it or not." Qin Xuan shook his head.

Director Huang nodded and said nothing more. It's enough that you understand; there's no need to explain it so clearly.
