Huayu Shen Gongbao

Chapter 64 If I had to do it all over again, I would still choose to save the substitute first!

Upon arriving at the company, Yang Xue noticed that the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Everyone seemed busy, yet the office was eerily quiet.

No one dared to speak freely.

Ordinary employees are on high alert, and everyone is prepared for the challenge.

Yang Xue and Yin Shan, considered core members of Chengtian, arrived at the conference room together under the guidance of Wang Jinhua.

In the conference room, Wu Kebo sat in the middle with a serious expression.

To his left were John Woo, Terence Chang, and others; to his right were Wang Jinhua and representatives of the Japanese investors.

Next up are several key members of the Red Cliff production team who were interviewed, as well as the artists from Chengtian.

Yang Xue found a corner to sit down, and then heard Wu Kebo say, "What's the meaning behind Shen Gongbao's big-scale live broadcast this time?"

Does he really have evidence that could overturn the verdict?

It must be said that Shen Gongbao's ability to cause trouble is quite intimidating, especially considering his backing by Huayi.

This joint clarification via live stream across five major platforms has put immense pressure on Cheng Tian, ​​Wu Yusen, and others.

We must be on high alert.

Seeing that no one responded to Wu Kebo, Zhang Jiazhen comforted him, "If there were evidence, Shen Gongbao should have produced it by morning, not by evening."

He's doing live streams now, probably trying to use rhetoric to argue his point.

Talk is cheap and won't have any effect.

Looking at the situation before him, Wu Kebo suddenly regretted helping Wu Yusen and Zhang Jiazhen.

Hong Kong's entertainment industry seems to be a poison that prolongs its life.

But Wu Kebo had no choice but to accept the offer, and Chengtian had to go public on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to raise funds, otherwise its future development would be difficult to sustain.

He sighed and said, "I hope so."

At 8 p.m., the conference room screen split in two: the left side was Xinlang's text and image live stream, and the right side was the video live stream.

Unsurprisingly, the live stream crashed due to the large number of viewers.

The live text and image broadcast was a bit laggy, but the number of online viewers was steadily increasing, reaching over 600,000 at the very beginning.

This was a joint live broadcast by five major platforms, and there were so many people on Xinlang.com alone, which shows how much attention the events of Chibi and Shen Gongbao received across the internet.

It just so happens to be Saturday night, so everyone has time to spare, and there are a lot of people watching the drama unfold.

The assistant encountered buffering issues while watching the live stream, so they quickly switched to other platforms, but Tencent and NetEase were also experiencing buffering problems.

It only became smoother after switching to PPS Player, which is partnered with Baidu Tieba.

The live stream finally showed a picture, and Shen Gongbao's expression was very serious.

Opposite him was Sa Beining, the host of "Today's Talk".

Upon seeing Sa Beining appear, Wu Kebo immediately sensed something was wrong. Didn't this mean that the Shenyang Gazette had official endorsement?

Sa Beining said, "Good evening, viewers. Today's live broadcast is a special edition interview for the 'Today's Talk' program."

Those who follow breaking news should have heard that a serious filming accident occurred at 1 a.m. today on the set of the movie "Red Cliff".

The controversy continues online, with everyone pointing the finger at Shen Gongbao.

Is that really the case?

Let's hear what Shen Gongbao has to say!

After Sa Beining finished his opening remarks, Shen Gongbao took out a laptop and said, "I have seen everyone's misunderstandings about me today."

I will explain everything in detail below.

First, let me respond to the question about feng shui and superstition.

I must admit that I am quite interested in Feng Shui. In fact, it is a kind of empirical model that involves knowledge of natural sciences and mathematics. I won't go into details.

I want to clarify one point: I do not engage in feudal superstition, nor did I deceive anyone on set.

Please watch a video first.

Shen Gongbao clicked on the video on his computer, and the camera in the live broadcast room switched to the video.

This is a behind-the-scenes clip from the filming of the movie "Red Cliff".

In the behind-the-scenes footage, several crew members surrounded Shen Gongbao, jokingly saying, "We never expected you, Taoist priest, to be so good at fortune-telling! This drone really did cause an accident!"

Shen Gongbao shook his head and explained, "Actually, I don't know how to tell fortunes. My major is in intelligent control, and I also have some understanding of the drone field. I could tell that this drone was going to have an accident."

Someone pressed further, asking, "Then why didn't you just say so?"

Shen Gongbao replied, "This drone aerial photography was done by a top team from Hollywood, USA. Who would believe me, a recent college graduate, if I said there was a problem with the drone?"

They definitely believe the American experts.

I thought that director John Woo was very superstitious about feng shui, so I explained it to him from that perspective.

Unexpectedly, it still didn't work, and the drone eventually crashed.

"What a pity, the production team has lost another sum of money."

When Shen Gongbao first joined the crew, he used feng shui and metaphysics to "predict" the drone accident. After that, he began to keep a low profile and denied knowing anything about feng shui on set.

These clips were also captured by the behind-the-scenes photographer.

This video has effectively cleared Shen Gongbao of its label of feudal superstition.

The viewers in the live stream also chimed in with their comments.

"Shen Gongbao studied Electronic Information Engineering, a top-tier major at Zhejiang University. He truly deserves to be called a top student! He could spot the problems with the American drones at a glance."

"It turns out the Taoist priest wasn't superstitious; he joined the Red Cliff film crew and deliberately used feng shui and metaphysics to package his rhetoric in order to make these people believe him."

"Shen Gongbao, you've worked hard! A top student has entered the illiterate entertainment industry and has to resort to superstition to adapt!"

"I understand now. It's not the Taoist priest who's engaging in feudal superstition, but Wu Yusen! That means Wu Yusen's interviews are unreliable!"

"Looking forward to more revelations! This is how clarifying rumors should be done—show the evidence directly!"

Upon seeing the comments in the live stream, Wu Yusen's face turned green, and Wu Kebo couldn't control his temper, directly questioning loudly: "You idiot! Why does Shen Gongbao have behind-the-scenes material from the crew?"

Could it be that there's a traitor among us?!?!?

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Jiazhen.

After all, he was in charge of managing the film crew's materials.

These people never imagined that Shen Gongbao would be so cautious, having foreseen trouble more than ten days ago, and deliberately implanted a virus program into the computer storing the behind-the-scenes footage, thus secretly copying the footage.

Faced with Wu Kebo's questioning, Zhang Jiazhen didn't know how to answer.

-

He is terrified and keeps praying that Shen Gongbao doesn't have that much material.

In the live broadcast room, Sa Beining said: "Film crews have always believed in feng shui. Many film crews consult masters to calculate the start time of filming, and there are also various ceremonies."

I need to explain this background to everyone.

Therefore, Shen Gongbao only used his professional knowledge to see that there was a problem with the drone, and in order to convince the production team, he had to put on the guise of feng shui and metaphysics.

Thus, director John Woo still did not heed Shen Gongbao's advice, ultimately leading to the drone crash during aerial filming.

Sa Beining's summary was very insightful, making things much clearer and more thorough.

He continued, "According to some of the key members of the Red Cliff production team in interviews, you personally consulted a fortune teller and suggested that the filming of the burning ships scene be moved forward to the summer. Is this true?"

Shen Gongbao shook his head and then played three more clips.

These behind-the-scenes clips show Shen Gongbao persuading Wu Yusen not to change the filming schedule and order, and to pay attention to fire prevention to ensure everyone's safety.

In particular, in the first behind-the-scenes clip, Shen Gongbao explained that there would be thunderstorms and strong convective winds in the summer, but Wu Yusen insisted on filming the burning of the boats ahead of schedule and told Shen Gongbao to shut up, saying that he could take full responsibility!

After watching these three videos, the viewers in the live stream were absolutely thrilled!

"Holy crap! John Woo is disgusting! He was the one who wanted to film the burning of the ships ahead of schedule, but he's trying to shift the blame to Shen Gongbao?"

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, Master! You're such a kind person!"

"I apologize to the Taoist priest. I acted impulsively when I scolded you during the day. I'm sorry!"

"Wu Yusen not only framed Shen Gongbao, but also changed Shen Gongbao's reasons for advising him to his own words. It's utterly shameless! No wonder he knows about strong convective winds!"

"I've witnessed firsthand what it means to distort the truth! The people in the Red Cliff production team have absolutely no bottom line!"

With this clarification, most netizens now understand that Shen Gongbao was wronged.

But Shen Gongbao did not stop there. He continued, "One of the misunderstandings about me online is that I am cowardly and weak and refused to help someone in distress. They even slander me for hurting Zhao Yanzi."

This is all fake. Please watch the full video.

The live stream then switched to behind-the-scenes footage, this time showing Shen Gongbao fleeing after the fire broke out.

-

The first half is exactly the same as the one that circulated online before, but the second half shows Shen Gongbao carrying a stuntwoman who sprained her ankle and carrying her off the boat in the fire.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xue's heart trembled.

On the one hand, I felt proud of Shen Gongbao and felt that I had not misjudged him; on the other hand, I also felt the terrible nature of taking things out of context.

In the live broadcast room, Shen Gongbao said righteously, "First of all, it looks like I pushed Zhao Yanzi in the video, but it's just a misalignment."

I was lying on the ground, and I just did a somersault to my feet.

To prove himself, Shen Gongbao even demonstrated his ability to do a somersault on the spot.

Then he said, "As for why I didn't turn back to save Zhao Yanzi, it's because I saw that Zhao Yanzi's stunt double, Fang Lan, had sprained her ankle and couldn't walk."

If I don't save Fang Lan, she will surely die!

In contrast, Zhao Yanzi is physically healthy and capable of escaping on her own.

In that critical moment, I chose to save Fang Lan instead of Zhao Yanzi, and I think I did the right thing!

Does that mean a celebrity's life is precious, but an ordinary person's life isn't?

If I had to do it all over again, I would still choose to save the substitute first!

Shen Gongbao meant what he said sincerely. If a celebrity and an ordinary person were in trouble at the same time, and he could only save one, he would naturally choose to save the ordinary person.

Therefore, his speech was full of emotion.

Viewers in the live stream shared the same sentiment upon hearing this.

If the comments in the live stream were still considered normal, then at this moment, netizens really got emotionally involved!

Not only did the number of comments increase rapidly, but they were also all followed by exclamation marks.

On the one hand, everyone sympathized with Shen Gongbao's words and thought he did the right thing; he should have saved the substitute first.

On the other hand, they were also angry at being deceived.

After watching the full video of Shen Gongbao, any normal person with a brain could figure out that Wu Yusen and others deliberately edited the video, only releasing the first half to take things out of context, in order to deceive everyone and slander Shen Gongbao.

Now that the truth has come out, netizens have discovered that they have been deceived, and the person who was wronged was an extremely kind person!

A hero who saved people from a fire was wrongly accused of being a cowardly and weak Shen Paopao!

When netizens thought about these things, their anger level immediately reached its maximum!

In the live stream, Sa Beining asked a crucial question: "How did you obtain these videos?"

Shen Gongbao deliberately said, "Someone from Chengtian and Wu Yusen's side had a change of heart and secretly gave me the video."

I must thank him 1

Without him, I would have been unable to defend myself and would have become the scapegoat for the entire production team.

Therefore, I would like to make a solemn declaration here:

Chengtian Entertainment, Wu Yusen, and everyone who gave the interview today and talked nonsense!

You all know the truth of the matter, yet you deliberately distort the facts to slander me!

You deliberately fabricated and disseminated fictitious facts to defame my character and damage my reputation! This constitutes defamation—I must take legal action to pursue this matter to the end!

Upon hearing this, everyone finally understood why the host of today's live interview was Sa Beining, and why it was a special edition of "Today's Talk".

It's clear that Shen Gongbao is serious!

Seeing this, netizens expressed their support, while Wu Kebo was furious in the meeting room!

If they really get into such a big lawsuit, Chengtian's plan to go public through a backdoor listing will definitely be ruined!

Thinking of this, Wu Kebo was so angry that his liver hurt. He picked up a teacup and threw it at Wu Yusen!

Due to his advanced age and declining health, Wu Yusen was unable to dodge the cup and was hit head-on, causing his head to bleed immediately!

Even so, Wu Kebo was still angry and picked up Wang Jinhua's cup again to smash Zhang Jiazhen.

The meeting room erupted into chaos, the scene was extremely disorderly!
