Chapter 522 Public Opinion Heats Up, Verbal Criticism Erupts! The Box Office Hit "Crimson Asura Tengu"

"What did you say?! You're including Michio Izukuri's name in the movie credits, and under the original author's name no less?!"

Upon hearing the announcement from the producer of Oni no Eiga, everyone present, including Nishiki Taro and Masanori Minato, was stunned.

What exactly happened? How could things have taken such a dramatic turn overnight?
You disagreed with adding Izukuri Michio's name before, so why are you suddenly going to add it now?

Adding it is fine, since that was their request, but what's with using the original author's name?

Once the truth is revealed, how will they face themselves?
The whole nation will know that they stole other people's works. How will they ever be able to survive in the entertainment industry again?
Thinking of the serious consequences, the group became anxious and immediately wanted to raise questions.

They don't object to adding Michio Izukuri's name out of guilt and affection, but it absolutely cannot be in the name of the original author!

For their own benefit, Nishiki Taro and the others have made up their minds that even if the other party is from Onino Film, they will fight for their rights!

We will not give up until we dispel this outrageous idea of ​​theirs!

Even Anchi Keiko had a complicated expression, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, but ultimately she did not express her agreement.

Faced with the agitated group, the producer silenced them with a single, casual remark:
"This is the boss's decision, and no one can object!"

Upon hearing this, Nishiki Taro and the others were speechless.

How could they not know who the BOSS they were talking about was?
Oninotake!
To them, this was a real big shot!
They dare to argue with the producer, but they would never dare to be disrespectful in front of Takeshi Onino.

Because if Ono Takeshi says just one word, they will be blacklisted from the entertainment industry!

The opponent possesses energy that they cannot resist!
What's more, Ono Takeshi is their sugar daddy.

When Nishiki Taro and the others heard that it was Onino Takeshi's decision, they all gaped open and couldn't utter a word of objection.

They didn't understand why someone of Oni Takeshi's status would know about and get involved in this matter, but they did understand one thing—

Now that Ono Takeshi has spoken, the matter is settled, and no one has the right or ability to object!

Neither did they have the guts.

At least not Nishiki Taro and others.

But... what should we do next?
At this moment, not only were Nishiki Taro and his two companions confused and bewildered, but even Anchi Keiko, who had a crush on Izukuri Michio, and his best friend Agada Riki were speechless.

They only agreed to help Michio Izukuri get his name included in the movie out of guilt for what happened back then and out of consideration for their years of friendship.

But it was just adding a name; their original intention was definitely not to vindicate Michio Izukuri!

So they only gave it a brief try, and after being rejected, nothing more was done.

Otherwise, given their status, whether they joined forces to put pressure on the producer or went directly to Takeshi Ono, they wouldn't be able to let this go so easily.

But what's happening now?!
Why would Takeshi Onino be interested in this? Could it be that he has some connection with Michio Izukuri?

How can it be!

Who is Ono Takeshi? And who is Izukuri Michio? They are just losers who have been abandoned by their dreams. What right do they have to know Ono Takeshi?

Nishiki Taro and the others couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they tried.

I don't understand how things suddenly developed to this point.
Once Michio Kuri appears in the movie credits as the original author, their plagiarism will inevitably be exposed.

Thinking of this, the expressions on their faces all turned very ugly.

If the truth is revealed, these people will inevitably face public questioning and criticism.

More importantly, it will affect their careers.

This is definitely not what they want to see.

But the problem is that now that Takeshi Ono has spoken personally, what right do they have to refuse?

Dilemma!

Nishiki Taro and the others were completely dumbfounded.

……

Despite Nishiki Taro and his group's extreme reluctance, they couldn't fight city hall. In the end, following Onino Takeshi's instructions, Izukuri Michio managed to add his name to the movie credits.

And it's under the title of the original author!

Taro Nishiki and the others watched helplessly, powerless to stop it. They understood that since Takeshi Onino had specifically named Michio Kuri as the original author, he must already know the whole story, so how could they possibly have the face to voice their objections?

Even if we bring it up, what's the point?

However, this would only bring shame upon himself and offend Oni Takeshi, making it a losing proposition.

Although the scandal has been exposed, at most they'll just be caught in a media storm, not completely ruined. With some effort, they might still have a chance to pull themselves out.

Offending Oni Takeshi would truly mean a bleak future and utter ruin!
Now that things have come to this, Nishiki Taro and the others can only console themselves with this thought.

In the hotel room, several unfortunate souls, sharing the same fate, sat together, looking at each other, and finally all gave a bitter smile.

How did things turn out like this?
……

As Takeshi Ono had predicted, viewers quickly noticed the change as Michio Izukuri's name appeared in the end credits.

This subsequently attracted the attention of the media.

At first, they were just surprised. Wasn't the original screenwriter of this movie Taro Nishiki? How did it suddenly become a person named Michio Izukuri?

There is a big melon!
These astute media professionals immediately noticed the anomaly and began an in-depth investigation.

After some investigation, the truth of the matter was easily uncovered.

And then the public outcry exploded!

"Crimson Shura Tengu" was already one of the most anticipated movies at the moment, but then this huge bombshell dropped, giving the gossip-loving public a real treat!
No one expected that this movie, which once caused a sensation and made Nishiki Taro and Anchi Keiko, now famous people, stand out and become very successful, was actually a work they plagiarized from other people!
scandal!

A scandal beyond doubt!
This has really stirred up a lot of discussion!
As expected, Nishiki Taro and the others were thrust into the spotlight!

They were already celebrities, bringing their own audience, and this kind of scandal, which the public loved to see, immediately became a hot topic for the media.

Everyone is waiting for the truth, or rather, they're just looking for a spectacle.

Overall, public opinion has been largely critical of Taro Nishiki and others.

It's a very simple principle. Since the end credits of the movie list Kuri Michio as the original author, it means that Oni no Eiga, the production company, was aware of this.

Given Ono Takeshi's identity and reputation, the public naturally believed that he wouldn't talk nonsense.

Therefore, this is most likely true.

After the media interviewed Michio Izukuri himself, and he even showed the original manuscript to the public, the matter was basically settled!

No one blamed Oni-no-Film, because it was obvious that Oni-no-Film discovered the truth in time and then took the initiative to reveal it in this way, which can be described as "putting righteousness before family"!
Therefore, only Nishiki Taro and others suffered a great misfortune, becoming pariahs and being relentlessly attacked by public opinion, leaving them humiliated and disgraced.

The only saving grace is that Guiye Pictures did not explicitly hold them accountable, which means they will not be blacklisted because of this.

This made Nishiki Taro and the others breathe a sigh of relief; it was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Compared to the misfortunes of Nishiki Taro and others, Izukuri Michio became quite successful.

For some time now, he felt like he was living in a dream.

Instead of dying from suicide, he turned misfortune into good fortune, meeting Oni Takeshi and receiving his help.

In the end, not only was the original author's reputation restored, but the author also became famous as a result!

These past few days, even Michio Izukuri's steps have become lighter, and he is filled with immeasurable gratitude towards Takeshi Onino.

Besides Michio Izukuri, another beneficiary was undoubtedly Onino Films.

This incident caused quite a stir in the public opinion, which led to a sharp increase in the popularity of "Crimson Shura Tengu".

This level of enthusiasm has had a direct impact on box office revenue.

The film's box office performance on its opening day far exceeded expectations, making it a win-win situation!
Nishiki Taro and others: ...

I don't know whether to be happy or sad, it's so hard to stay calm.
Not long after, Ono Takeshi approached Izukuri Michio again.

"What! You want me to become a cartoonist again?!"

Upon hearing Oni Takeshi's request, Izukuri Michio was immediately stunned.
