Chapter 226 Huayi's Counterattack!
The Olympic atmosphere in the capital is becoming increasingly intense.

The film market is also booming.

Since the release of "The Thieves" during the Spring Festival, it topped the box office in film history and popularized the concept of the Spring Festival film season.

Ning Hao's film "Extreme Job" also performed well at the box office.

Stephen Chow's "CJ7" was also released during the Spring Festival this year.

Watching movies during the Chinese New Year is becoming a habit.

Huayi is preparing to hold a celebration banquet for "Assembly".

With Feng Xiaogang joining the "200 Million Yuan Director Club," the Wang brothers naturally had to celebrate wildly.

Huayi's invitation has been sent out throughout the industry.

Of course, Xiaole Pictures and Shishiba Culture are exceptions.

When Wang Jinghua left Huayi Brothers to join Orange Sky Entertainment, she thought she would be able to take charge.

I never imagined they were all birds of a feather.

Many of the artists signed by Orange Sky are registered under the company's name, rather than through the agency she manages.

Wang Jinghua has realized that she is gradually being sidelined, and she can't help but feel a little regretful that she could have joined Xiaole Pictures back then.

With her methods and Tian Xiaole's resources, she had long ago built Xiaole Pictures into the number one film and television company in China.

The projects Orange Sky currently has are beyond the reach of her artists, who will have to find other opportunities.

Liu Tao married a wealthy young man from Beijing and announced his retirement from the entertainment industry.

She claimed she would strive to be a good wife, staying home to support her husband and raise their children.

Many friends from the entertainment industry, including Hu Jun, Qin Hailu, and Ren Quan, attended the wedding.

"Brother Le, the baby is naughty and keeps kicking me."

"I'll deal with him after the baby is born."

Every night, Tian Xiaole and Tang Yan would video chat; it had almost become an essential part of their routine, and they couldn't refuse.

Pregnant women need to be coaxed; if they have too much free time, they tend to overthink and are more likely to get pregnant.

"This is your son, how could you hit him?"

Tang Yan touched her belly, a happy expression on her face, but the next second her voice trembled with tears:

"Our baby has no official status, and his biological father doesn't like him. What are we going to do?"

Tang Yan looked aggrieved; if she used that ability to change her expression in an instant, she could win a Best Actress award sooner or later.

"Don't think nonsense. I like both boys and girls. The old lady is looking forward to holding her grandchildren."

Tian Xiaole was at her wit's end. If she didn't say the right thing, he would start crying again. She had to comfort him.

"Brother Le, I knew you were the best." Tang Yan smiled through her tears, feeling happy again, and then changed the subject:
"When are you coming to Hollywood? My baby and I miss you."

"I think it's you who wants it more."

"Mmm," Tang Yan said shyly.

"Where do you want to go...?"

Seeing Tian Xiaole's malicious smile, Tang Yan spat and said in a coquettish voice, "Brother Le, you're so annoying..."

Tian Xiaole's few risqué jokes managed to calm Tang Yan down.

····
The next day.

As usual, Tian Xiaole came to the company for a quick look around, mainly to keep an eye on the post-production of "Pacific Rim".

As I walked through the door, I saw two girls at the front desk, blushing, chatting about things like "good figure," and their discussion was quite heated.

Upon seeing Tian Xiaole, he quickly stood up to greet her:

"Hi boss."

"Ah."

Tian Xiaole nodded and took the elevator to the special effects department. The usual bustling scene was gone, replaced by groups of men gathered together discussing something.

"Boss, when Fan Binbin was filming this movie, did she do all the stunts herself? She's my goddess!"

One of the staff members said with great distress.

"What play?" Tian Xiaole asked curiously.

The staff opened a webpage on the computer and played a clip of Apple's passionate scene.

Half of it is rounded and very white and upturned.

In her scenes with the male lead, Fan Binbin's lips were slightly parted, clearly indicating that she was immersed in the emotions.

Tian Xiaole glanced at it and immediately thought it looked fake. Judging from the actions and expressions, it was obvious that protective measures had been taken.

Fan Binbin's expression is something others might not know, but doesn't he know it too?

"Stop watching, everyone. It's during working hours. If you want to watch, watch it when you get home after get off work."

A group of science and engineering students couldn't stand this scene, especially since it was their goddess being attacked.

Seeing the boss get angry, I immediately stopped the discussion and returned to my busy work.

It's not uncommon for uncut versions of movies to appear online; there's nothing surprising about it.

buzzing...

When Tian Xiaole saw Fan Binbin's call, she smiled. He probably wasn't calling to explain something.

It doesn't seem necessary; she's not exactly a pure and innocent persona.

Then she said in a tearful voice, "Brother Le, we need to deal with the lead actor of [Ping Kueh] in Myanmar."

"Ah, why?"

Tian Xiaole was confused.

Then Fan Binbin said, "The reason given is that the version of the film screened at the Berlin Film Festival was not the censored version, so..."

Tian Xiaole frowned, feeling that this matter was not simple. The release date for "Painted Skin" had just been set, and the announcement was issued shortly afterward.

This is clearly aimed at me!

"Where did you hear that news?" Tian Xiaole asked.

"A friend revealed it. We just had a meeting this morning, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will be announced soon."

Fan Binbin was very emotional. If her film "Painted Skin" were banned, she would really offend Tian Xiaole.

This is her powerful backer, someone she knows well.

"I understand. Let's find out what's going on first."

Tian Xiaole hung up the phone. This so-called announcement was clearly meant to send a warning to him.

The release date announcement for "Painted Skin" disgusted the Wang brothers, and this is likely their retaliatory measure.

I never imagined my reach would be so long.

"Huh, that's interesting."

Given his current status and position, few people dare to challenge him. Without the opportunity to slap him in the face, he certainly misses out on a lot of the thrill.

Call Han Sanping to confirm the authenticity of this matter.

"Xiao Le, I was just about to call you when you called. You've heard about it, right?"

Han Sanping's tone became more serious.

He had just learned about this and he opposed the penalty notice.

"Uncle Han, the full version of the movie suddenly appeared online, and then it was brought up in a way that felt like it was aimed at me."

Even if it's not, it's still disrespectful to me. Everyone in the film industry knows that "Painted Skin" has a release date, and they're already targeting me, the female lead in the movie.

Tian Xiaole said in an unfriendly tone, "You dare to act tough on me? If you really think you have a good temper, then nobody will have a good time."

"You're blocking their path to wealth; they're trying to intimidate you," Han Sanping warned.

Huayi Brothers placed great importance on "The Forbidden Kingdom," announcing its release date early to avoid competing with other films released at the same time. Only Tian Xiaole was so stubborn.

To grow from a small advertising company into a giant in the film and television industry today certainly requires some courage.

"I'll accept the show of force. If the punishment is to be announced, then don't blame me for standing up to them."

Tian Xiaole knew that Huayi wanted to make a show of force and demonstrate its capabilities, and he also wanted to show his skills. It was just a matter of seeing which side would give in first.

"Don't be impulsive, let's postpone the release of 'Painted Skin' for another two years..."

Han Sanping was afraid that Tian Xiaole would act impulsively, and that neither side would benefit in the end. This was a decision made by the higher-ups, and no one dared to question it.

"This isn't something that needs to be waited two years; this is a warning to me," Tian Xiaole sneered.

Han Sanping patiently tried to persuade him for a while, but seeing how determined he was, she could only sigh.

A short while later, Fan Binbin called again. It was clear he was genuinely anxious.

"Brother Le, is there a solution?"

Fan Binbin said with a sob in his voice, "If I'm really banned from participating in performing arts activities, you can hit me or scold me, just don't give up on me, okay?"

"I'll make it up to you by making a movie for you in two years, sob sob."

Hearing the sobbing on the other end of the phone, Tian Xiaole became very irritated. Tang Yan could still coax her a little, but she could only say impatiently to her:
"Don't cry. If they're targeting you now, they're after me, and they definitely won't ignore it."

Upon hearing Tian Xiaole's words, Fan Binbin stopped crying and, upon reflection, realized that this was actually a good thing.

I'm just a scapegoat. It doesn't matter if I'm banned from working; I can just ignore him.

They'll arrange two roles for me in Hollywood, and two years will pass quickly.

Compared to this, the announcement is utterly worthless.

Thinking of this, she adjusted her emotions:
"Brother Le, I can switch to working behind the scenes and just accept the results of the announcement."

Tian Xiaole guessed what Fan Binbin was up to, but didn't expose her.
They suffered an undeserved misfortune.

If she really can't handle it, we can let her go to Hollywood for a couple of years.

······
In the afternoon, the relevant handling opinions were indeed announced.

The announcement swept through the entire film and television industry like a whirlwind.

No one expected that something like this would happen so soon after "Painted Skin" was scheduled for release.

When you think about the whole incident, it doesn't seem so simple.

The release date of "Painted Skin" will definitely take away market share from "The Forbidden Kingdom," but the producers don't want to back down by changing the release date, so they can only leave "Painted Skin" unable to be released.

So what if he's a Palme d'Or winner? Getting punished is just a matter of a few words.

Most people in the industry are wondering how Tian Xiaole will respond.

They rose too quickly, showed too much talent, were too young and impetuous, and most importantly, we didn't help them make money.

These issues combined naturally led some people to disapprove of his behavior.

Then Tian Xiaole had something to say. He updated his blog, and it only contained three words:

What about the [Cesium Generation]?

Few words, but huge!
There has been a lot of discussion about it.

yes! !
How could we forget this movie?!

How could we forget it?!

The content involves...

Tian Xiaole's phone was ringing off the hook, with every caller advising him to calm down and delete the blog post immediately.

This could easily put all parties in an awkward position.

"Is this your so-called solution? Doesn't this unjustly condemn people?"

Han Sanping called, clearly puzzled.

Getting involved with this movie will offend a lot of people, both domestic and international.

They all have considerable energy.

Tian Xiaole was quite nonchalant. So what if he offended Li An and the film's investors? It wasn't like he couldn't afford to offend them.

·······
The internet is in an uproar, with everyone waiting for the next development.

The online public opinion is going to drown them.

"Has Tian Xiaole lost his mind? Dragging this movie into this mess will offend a lot of people."

A smile finally appeared on Wang Zhonglei's gloomy face. If he had known it would be so easy to deal with, he should have made his move sooner.

"No matter what, just wait for the show," Wang Zhongjun said with a contemptuous smile.

The decision regarding the film's handling of the matter was released, but there were no comments on the director or the male lead; only the female lead's fate was addressed.

The media immediately verified the authenticity of the information and received an affirmative answer.

Then there is no more.

The industry was filled with sighs of regret.

Weren't we supposed to be asking for feedback? Now that we have the results, there shouldn't be any more issues!
Incidentally, he also dug a pit for Tian Xiaole.

The announcement was made because of his suggestion.

While everyone was waiting for Tian Xiaole's response, renowned director Li Anxian couldn't sit still any longer and issued a statement in both Chinese and English.

"The film's shooting and release process complied with regulations, so I don't understand why director Tian Xiaole is nitpicking? I also don't understand why he's making trouble for the actors?"

The entertainment industry is in an uproar.

The media was ecstatic; this was big news.

Two big-name directors have directly entered the scene; this time, there's going to be a good show to watch.

Public opinion was further amplified.

The industry has remained silent on this matter, except for Feng Xiaogang, who dared to speak out.

"How many buttons do you have to unbutton before it's considered pornographic?"

Tian Xiaole updated her blog again:

"Hehe, I'm just stating the facts. I'm curious why Director Li's movie passed the test. Was it because of the calendars he received?"

He would be happy if Li Jian stepped down, as this would generate more public discussion.

Let more people know that when it's time to be attacked, strike at your own people first.

After browsing through the comments, I found that some netizens really dared to speak their minds.

Industry insiders are happy to see Tian Xiaole make a scene.

If it works out, the requirements might be relaxed a bit later.

If it doesn't work out, they'll be happy to see Tian Xiaole's arrogant attitude suppressed.

Major websites rushed to repost the report in an attempt to capitalize on this surge in traffic.

While the discussion was taking place online, the related news disappeared, but Leyu.com pinned it to the top of its homepage.

Just when everyone thought Tian Xiaole was out of ideas and about to give up, a new blog post was updated again.

"As far as I know, 'Plagiarism of Siri' also went to the film festival without being submitted for review..."

I feel sorry for director Jiang Wen; he got a five-year "gift package" all to himself.

······
Jiang Wen couldn't sit still any longer and jumped in, saying sarcastically:
"I really didn't catch the right time. What exactly was wrong with the Cannes Jury Prize I received?"

The comments from netizens were quite interesting, saying that Jiang Wen didn't have a writer as his father, nor a good advisor.

The internet has a long memory; the plagiarism incident has once again become known across the entire internet.

The film "The Search for the Gun" was filmed by Jiang Wen, and it was presented in a very convincing manner.

"Ahhh... Tian Xiaole, I'll fuck you, you immortal..."

“You’re keeping an eye on me, Tian Xiaole, damn it…”

Upon seeing the news, Lu Chuan was so angry that she started talking nonsense and was dragged into the fray for no reason.

The movie is several years old, yet it's being dragged out and rubbed into oblivion.

······
"I've been annoyed with them for a long time, so I'm going to take this chicken feather and... annoy them a little, haha."

Jiang Wen said nonchalantly, "Old Han has the final say on the film industry; it's none of their business."

"If only Uncle Han could just make the decisions, there wouldn't be so much trouble," Tian Xiaole complained.

As soon as I hung up with Jiang Wen, the phone kept ringing, some from familiar people, some from strangers, and some from the school.

Tian Xiaole is a Palme d'Or winner and his words and actions have a great influence.

Netizens are questioning the fairness of the system, accusing it of favoritism and being despicable.

Driven by entertainment websites, the doubts spread rapidly, and many borderline films were dug up, with calls for them to be punished together.

If this is the desired effect, then it's time to see how we respond.

"Boss, I received a notification to delete your blog. They've even prepared a reason: the account was hacked and the posts weren't written by you."

Huang Jixin knocked on the door and came in, a hint of helplessness on his face. He, too, was under pressure to push the traffic.

"That's interesting, all you know is unplugging the network cable."

Tian Xiaole said nonchalantly, "Don't worry about it. If anything happens, let them come to me."
