Huayu became famous overnight

Chapter 216: Morality? Can I buy it by pound?

The press conference site.

Li Xiaowan waved her arms and spoke sternly to the media reporters with cameras.

"I have never seen such a shameless person. In less than a year, he poached three artists signed by Rong Xinda!"

"The last two were less than a month apart. The speed at which Qiming Entertainment wields its hoe is truly astonishing. I want to ask Xu Ming, isn't he afraid that one day the same retribution will fall on him?"

"I worked so hard to train them, but in the end they ended up working for other companies. Don't my peers in the industry feel a sense of indifference? This kind of behavior must be resisted."

"In addition, I would like to advise Xu Ming that people should have a minimum moral bottom line. If you do too much evil, you will eventually perish."

Her eyes were bloodshot and she hadn't slept since the body was dug out.

I can't sleep or eat well.

Poaching people is no big deal, but the real fear is that Rong Xinda will be seen as a weakling.

If she didn't fight back at all, she would be hit by countless hoes.

Even though she keeps saying that there must be basic moral bottom lines, in reality her peers in the circle have no morals at all.

If there is no morality, how can there be a bottom line?

"Mr. Li, as far as I know, among the three artists you mentioned who were poached, Yang Mi should have left because her contract expired, right?" asked a reporter.

Li Xiaowan was stunned for a moment and looked at the reporter.

Well, people from Sohu Entertainment.

Not surprising then.

"Humph, this behavior is even worse. Yang Mi had contact with Qi Ming before leaving the company. The casting of 'Startling by Each Step' is evidence." Li Xiaowan sneered.

"Then how do you plan to boycott Qiming Entertainment?" another reporter added fuel to the fire.

"From now on, Rong Xinda will not be able to participate in any Qiming Entertainment project, and our artists will not participate in any Qiming Entertainment project production."

"I call on my colleagues in the industry to join in. It is the responsibility of each of us to ensure that such a company can continue to develop safely in the entertainment industry."

"And I urge the public to boycott the works of such unscrupulous companies. How can a company without morals produce works with correct values?"

Li Xiaowan knew that she had no legal basis to stand on.

After all, the other party actually paid the penalty for breach of contract, which was also in line with the contract she signed with the artist.

If you really count it, she still made the profit.

But logically, she created the image of herself as a victim, and as long as she could create a black spot in Xu Ming's character, she would have an advantage.

The foundation of Qiming Entertainment is one and only one, and that is Xu Ming himself.

If they destroy him, Qiming will be destroyed too.

And the scenes of Li Xiaowan raising her arms and shouting.

In this era of advanced Internet, it quickly spread throughout the entire network and was even broadcast by major satellite TV stations.

For a time, the response it caused was indeed quite large.

"Although I don't take sides, I think what Li Xiaowan said is quite right. How can a company with a distorted outlook on life produce any good work?"

"I've always liked Xu Ming's work, but he really went too far this time."

"No matter which industry, this kind of poaching is shameless. I support Li Xiaowan."

Most of the passers-by and netizens who were watching the fun subconsciously sided with Li Xiaowan.

The latter's eyes were bloodshot and he looked heartbroken, which was really pitiful.

The key is the age.

On the other hand, Xu Ming is young and energetic, and full of vigor. The comparison between the two naturally makes Li Xiaowan appear weak.

Xu Ming's 'old friends' also followed suit.

This time, with Li Xiaowan leading the team in the front, they were less cautious and stood firmly on the side of the former.

[Zhang Dapao: I have long said that Xu Ming has no morals and no bottom line, but unfortunately everyone was deceived by his appearance, including Master Zhang, and this time he finally showed his true colors.]

[Zhu Yanping: Finally someone is willing to stand up and expose the true face of this shameless guy. In all my years as a director, this is the first time I have been excluded by an actor from a crew. Anyone who dares to say that Xu Ming has no ulterior motives is simply the biggest joke in the world.]

[Wu Kebo: Our Orange Sky Entertainment is the first film and television company to cooperate with Xu Ming, but what did we get? It was a return of enmity, a bite back. I don’t care about other companies, but Orange Sky Entertainment is willing to respond to Mr. Li’s call.]

【Hua Yi: I second the motion.】

Many colleagues in the industry have seen so many industry giants besieging Qiming.

One by one, those who had originally planned to sit on the sidelines and watch the fight between the two tigers began to have their own ideas.

There were many responses at once, and Weibo was full of reposts from film and television companies.

Although they had no grudge against Xu Ming, they also hoped that he would die.

There was no way. Qiming's results were so outstanding that they not only squeezed out their living space, but also made them jealous.

This year, two movies have grossed 600 million yuan at the box office, and there are so many more to come. How can others survive?

Even Xu Ming's plan to dominate the charts has not been made public.

But they could more or less sense this guy's ambition, and when someone else started a team fight against the wind, they didn't mind giving him a helping hand.

Public opinion on the Internet was increasingly moving in a direction that was unfavorable to Qiming.

Just follow the crowd.

The comment section of Xu Ming’s Weibo was completely overwhelmed.

Qiming is in trouble.

This is the consensus reached by everyone. They really can't imagine how the other party can turn the tide under such an overwhelming black tide.

As for Xu Ming, even if he doesn't quit the circle, he will be seriously damaged after this incident.

Some people are already dressed neatly, sitting at the dining table with knives and forks in hand, waiting to enjoy the food.

……

Qiming.

This wave of public opinion was actually within the company's expectations.

But they did not expect it to be so huge and develop so quickly.

The main reason was that Li Xiaowan suddenly held a press conference, which caught them off guard.

I am used to stabbing people in the back with my peers.

It was really unexpected to run into someone who jumped up and opened a big door.

Faced with this offensive, the company's atmosphere was dull and a bit panicky.

Li Xiaowan has a very good eye.

Qiming is indeed a company built on Xu Ming's personal abilities. Without the latter's support, its own cohesion is not strong.

It has only been three years since its establishment, and many people have only joined the company in the past two years.

As the pillar of the company, Xu Ming is currently being bombarded with phone calls from various partners.

"Uncle Han, it's really not a big deal. Li Xiaowan just made a big deal out of it, and the others followed suit and wanted to beat up Qiming."

"Which well-known agency in the industry doesn't poach people? Of course, we can focus on the Rong Xinda family and poach them, which is indeed a bit excessive."

Xu Ming touched his nose. He didn't expect Li Xiaowan to be so vulnerable.

Maybe it's because he has little experience and feels it's too embarrassing to be poached by himself.

But since he did it, he was not afraid.

"Don't worry, give me three days, and I promise to deal with this wave of public opinion. If I can't, you don't need to explain, I will swallow my pride and send the person back."

Xu Ming patted his chest and promised Han Sanping.

Qiming Entertainment has collaborated with China Film Group on many projects, all of which were led by the latter.

If there is a risk in public opinion for Qiming Entertainment, it will also be a huge blow to subsequent projects.

"Okay, I believe you and will wait for your good news."

Han Sanping hung up the phone and sighed, "This child has never made me feel relieved."

"Haha, this troublesome kid can get things done. Mr. Xu has been through many storms before, so this time won't be a big deal. Just relax." A subordinate at the side comforted him.

"This storm is nothing. If he can't handle it, I will find a way to protect him. No one can protect him from the future..."

Han Sanping stopped talking abruptly when he said this. Some things can only be understood but not expressed in words. It's enough to know it in your heart.

……

the other side.

Xu Ming also called representatives from Wanda and Star Media one by one, asking them to relax.

I have finally found some time and am ready to lead everyone in dealing with it.

clap clap clap!
He walked to the center of the large office and clapped his hands.

Attract everyone's attention.

"Does the company treat you well?" Xu Ming asked.

“It’s first-class in the industry.”

The staff replied that this was from their heart.

In order to attract senior personnel in the industry, Qiming Entertainment offers first-class treatment.

Otherwise, how can we compete with other big companies?

"Then how do I treat you?" Xu Ming asked again.

"A conscientious boss."

Although everyone didn't understand why the other party asked this, they still answered sincerely.

Every time the company's project is successful, Xu Ming will give them bonuses.

Just on this point, when they call Mr. Xu, they are expressing their true feelings. If you send more messages, you will let them call him Dad.

"The treatment is good, the boss is good, so the moral bottom line of the company and me should not be low, right?"

"Not counting."

Xu Ming's question this time made everyone gradually figure out the answer.

"Since it doesn't count, it means that the outside world's criticism of us is untenable. What is there to be afraid of with such an untenable stain?"

Xu Ming shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Put your hearts back in your stomachs and do the work at hand well. After today, Qiming is still Qiming, and I am still me. We will continue to sing, dance, and give bonuses."

The first thing he should do is not to fight back against Li Xiaowan and her colleagues.

But to stabilize the morale of the company.

The company is supported by him alone, but on the other hand, without the support of these people, he cannot support the company by himself.

As long as there is no chaos internally, external criticism will be nothing more than a drizzle.

In the large office.

Everyone looked at their boss's indifferent smile and nonchalant tone.

The depression in my heart suddenly dissipated.

Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, and the bosses are not panicking. So why should those who receive salaries be panicking?

Seeing the solemnity on everyone's faces dissipate, the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

Xu Ming then said, "Most of you have jumped from other companies. Some of you can be said to be slaves of three companies. You should be aware of the nature of your original company and its lame moral bottom line."

"The company really needs your valuable experience now..."

No one had time to complain about the cliché of "three slaves of different surnames". When they heard their boss asking them to stab their former boss in the back, they immediately looked hesitant.

If they did this, it would seem a bit unkind of them.

"As long as the information you provide is true and adopted, there will be a thousand yuan adoption fee for each piece of information. Of course, duplicates will not count. In addition, there is no limit on off-field assistance." Xu Ming said with a smile.

Morality?

Do you sell it by kilo?

More importantly, not everyone has the opportunity to realize their morality.

But his words fell into everyone's ears.

How could it be said that he was backstabbing his former boss?

It's obvious that complaining about the previous company can still make money, and the boss is quite nice.

As for whether you still remember the negative information after leaving the previous company for so long.

If you look through the chat records with colleagues, family members, and friends, you will find a lot of such things.

The only thing you need to worry about is that you may miss out if you are too slow.

After all, many colleagues in the company have worked for the same company before.

"These messages can be sent directly to the staff of the Internet Publicity Department, and they will review and adopt them."

Xu Ming paused and said, "Mr. Tang, please arrange for the financial staff to follow up and try to settle the payment in cash."

If nothing unexpected happens, these people will become even crazier when the first 1,000 yuan adoption fund is issued.

But it is not enough to just make the situation become one where all crows are black.

He wanted to be the whitest one among them, that is, the whitest crow.

Don't you want to kill yourself?

But he had to be reborn from the ashes and become even stronger.

Thinking of this, he instructed Xiao Yuan beside him: "Contact Sohu Entertainment and have them come to the company to start a live broadcast. I will connect with netizens in real time."

"Also, call Zhuo Wei over for me."

……

Online public opinion continues to ferment.

The public's doubts about Qiming and Xu Ming are growing.

Even artists who changed jobs, such as Yang Mi, Yang Yang, and Li Xin, were also criticized.

The number of fans decreased, and the comment section was filled with curses.

Except for the film and television companies that have already exited, all parties are still waiting and watching.

If Qiming can't survive this time, partners such as Wanda and Star Media will definitely clear themselves of the blame.

And endorsers such as Pepsi and CK Underwear will not hesitate to terminate the contract, abandon Xu Ming, and demand a wave of liquidated damages.

Capital is the most ruthless.

They don't care whether Xu Ming is moral or not, they only care whether the latter can bring sufficient benefit value.

Unexpectedly, Yao Dazui, who was already in the midst of controversy, perhaps felt that the time had come and joined in.

"I have always adhered to one principle when filming, which is never to cooperate with artists or companies that have no moral bottom line."

"On a small level, it's about protecting one's reputation. On a larger level, it's about not wanting to help the evil. The film and television industry is a medium of thought for the general public, including children. I can't imagine what kind of negative impact an artist and company with no moral integrity would bring."

"Fortunately, there are still people like Sister Xiaowan in the circle who speak out for justice. This is cause for celebration."

She was not a fool. She had known for a long time that her ex-husband had found Qiming Network to deal with her. With the precedents of Hao Qi and Li Guangjie as a lesson, she had been worried.

Until today, I finally couldn't hold back and took action first.

But even so, as time passed, Qi Ming and even Xu Ming himself still did not respond.

This silence not only failed to calm the situation, but instead attracted more and more people to pay attention.

Based on their understanding of Xu Ming, silence was not giving up, but rather the brewing of a bigger topic.

The nickname of King of Topics is not given to him in vain.

16pm sharp.

Xu Ming’s own Weibo account posted a notice.

[Today at 18:00, I will be broadcasting live on the Guangying Ticketing Network to respond to recent public opinions. See you there. ]

Sohu Entertainment, Qiming Entertainment, and the Weibo accounts of all the company's artists reposted the message at the same time.

Each gaze seemed to transcend time, gazing at the light and shadow ticket purchasing network two hours later.

By the way, it’s already this fucking time, and you still don’t forget to direct traffic to your crappy website.
