Huayu Entertainment: You have been directing for three generations, are you comparing your qualifica

Chapter 227 The Public Opinion Damage Caused by Tian Xiaole!
Tian Xiaole underestimated her influence.

As the youngest director to win the Palme d'Or in film history, his every move is under scrutiny, let alone such big news.

Hong Kong media reports primarily focus on sensationalism to attract attention.

"Mainland director Tian Xiaole, in a fit of rage for a woman, didn't hesitate to smear [Se-sai]..."

Hollywood media:

"The Palme d'Or-winning director speaks out for his film, criticizing..."

The Guardian reports:

"The newly crowned Palme d'Or-winning director supports freedom of artistic creation..."

What started as entertainment media attention gradually began to change, with some media outlets with a keen sense of smell also getting involved.

Bilibili is much more disgusting; they start smearing and reporting on others.

"Restricting artistic creation is wrong; art should not be imprisoned..."

Various slanderous and fabricated articles were published one after another.

Tian Xiaole didn't expect it to cause such a big reaction, prompting Huang Jixin to quickly cool things down.

At this time of the Olympics, image is especially important, particularly in the realm of entertainment and culture.

If these false reports cause serious negative impacts, then the sin will be immense.

Because Tian Xiaole directly pointed it out, and with the support of Leyu.com's public opinion, the authorities quickly took notice.

His unconventional, unrestrained, and influential nature is not endearing.

Although Tian Xiaole is right.

Secondly, he is now a calling card for Chinese cinema.

A Palme d'Or winner who is under thirty years old deserves the utmost attention in any country.

Old Tian walked into the office smoking and saw Tian Xiaole looking relaxed, which made him furious.

He was trying to find some peace and quiet here, but all sorts of phone calls kept coming to his cell phone.

"You came all this way, couldn't withstand the pressure?"

Tian Xiaole took the leg off the table and said jokingly.

One can already imagine the scene of Lao Tian being constantly harassed.

"This matter is too serious, and it could offend your colleagues in the film and television industry... Given your current influence, you shouldn't make any comments lightly."

Old Tian smacked his lips on the cigarette butt in his hand; he was indeed starting to feel the effects.

[Sejie] To say that the content is not positive enough is not to slap some people in the face.

On the other hand, Tian Xiaole's statement this time, regardless of her starting point, gives people a sense of uncontrollability.

"They've come to take advantage of us. If we just accept it without thinking, people will think we're old and that we're still young and easy to manipulate."

Old Tian nodded, agreeing with Tian Xiaole's assessment, which was exactly what he had been considering, hence his decision to let the latter proceed.

"Don't speak for now. The media is making a big deal out of this, and the higher-ups are taking it very seriously."

Tian Xiaole agreed, showing she understood the importance of the matter.

The current international environment is not good, and this is being used by malicious media outlets as evidence to smear China.

They summoned Huang Xuxin and asked him to find some celebrity scandals to release and attract public attention.

Not long after, Han Sanping called and asked Tian Xiaole to attend a meeting the next day.

It was also revealed that Director Tong was in charge of this meeting, and that he should know when to stop while he was ahead.

···
The next day, Tian Xiaole arrived at the Film Bureau and parked his car in the designated parking space.

The staff who had been waiting came over to guide them.

"Director Tian, ​​the meeting room is this way."

"Well, thanks."

Tian Xiaole politely thanked her.

He doesn't come to the Film Bureau often; he usually goes to the China Film Group.

Tian Xiaole pushed open the conference room door and glanced around casually; quite a few people were already seated.

Judging by their attire alone, it's impossible to tell which departments the people came from, but one thing is certain: they were all from cultural departments.

When Tian Xiaole came in, some people nodded in greeting, while others chose to ignore her.

Pretend you can't see this "jinx".

Not long after they sat down, several leaders, led by Tong Gang, walked in, took their seats in the main seats, and scanned everyone present.

Tian Xiaole could feel several stern gazes sweeping over him.

After all, he was the "instigator," and the problems he caused have reached the "sky."

"You all know the purpose of our notification, so I won't go into details."

Tong Gang said in an unquestionable tone, "This matter ends here. Any problems?"

"Just follow the leader's instructions."

The person sitting at the head of the table on the left spoke.

Tong Gang nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Tian Xiaole and asked:

"Director Tian Xiaole, where are you over here?"

"I'd like to ask, is the content of the announcement unchanged?" Tian Xiaole asked in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

"It was already announced, but it's been revised again..."

Upon hearing this, the people sitting opposite couldn't help but smile.

It's as if it's saying: After all that fuss, it's all the same!
"I have a different opinion."

Tian Xiaole ignored Han Sanping's shaking of his head and said expressionlessly.

"Then, according to your brilliant opinion, Director Tian?"

Tong Gang said in a calm tone.

“I wholeheartedly support the announcement, but it’s a bit much to target the weak…” Tian Xiaole questioned.

In the conference room, many people's expressions changed, and they glared at Tian Xiaole, feeling that he was meddling in other people's business.

“Tell me your demands,” Tong Gang said.

Tian Xiaole couldn't make demands himself, so he passed the buck back: "I'm just a small director, I'll follow the instructions of the leaders."

Upon hearing this, someone jokingly remarked, "You're not some small-time director, otherwise we wouldn't be sitting here."

Tian Xiaole pretended not to understand and retorted sarcastically, "You're wrong. Persimmons like to eat soft ones, that's why we're sitting here."

Seeing that Tian Xiaole wouldn't budge no matter what, Tong*'s eyes flashed with displeasure, showing a lack of common sense.

With things already at a critical juncture, why are you still clinging to this point? He spoke expressionlessly:
"Keep everything else the same, just change the actor to a self-criticism."

Tian Xiaole knew this was the best outcome; to really linger on it would be ungrateful.

"I'll follow Director Tong's instructions!"

Hearing this, Tong Gang's expression softened, and he was just about to get up and leave when someone objected:
"Director Tong, the announcement was just issued and then revised. Well..." "If you have any objections, go back and tell Director Wang."

Tong Gang gave him a cold look and got up to leave.

Once he led the way out of the meeting room, it was clear that the matter had been settled.

Tian Xiaole lingered on for a long time before finally getting up and leaving.

he knows.

Director Tong will definitely have to talk about this privately later.

"Director Tian, ​​Director Tong is waiting for you in his office."

"That's what one of the staff members said."

"understood."

Tian Xiaole nodded, just as he had guessed.

I took a deep breath, adjusted my mindset, and knocked on the office door.

"Enter."

Upon seeing Tian Xiaole enter, Tong Gang gave her a cold look, still angry about what had just happened.

"Director Tong, I can handle this kind of thing."

Tian Xiaole smiled, ran a few steps to grab the teapot, and poured tea for the customer.

"Oh, how could we trouble Director Tian with such a small matter?" Tong Gang said sarcastically.

I have a love-hate relationship with Tian Xiaole.

Winning awards at major European film festivals, becoming the highest-grossing film in Chinese film history, continuously exporting culture abroad, and improving the special effects industry domestically.

Everything he did was for the sake of the Chinese film industry, leaving no stone unturned.

But after this incident, he realized that he wasn't a docile person.

"You've worked so hard for the development of Chinese cinema, what's a cup of tea to you?"

Tian Xiaole said with a smile, standing obediently to the side, looking like she was waiting for her fate.

Tong Gang didn't have a long face. If he really had a problem with Tian Xiaole, he wouldn't have called him over.

"Let's leave it at that. Go back and minimize the impact of this matter. Because of your statement as a big director, it has attracted a lot of foreign media coverage, and it's not anything positive."

"The temperature started dropping yesterday, and within two days, the matter was no longer being discussed."

Tian Xiaole said confidently that before coming here in the morning, Huang Jixin had bought a big news story, and as long as it was released, netizens' attention would definitely shift.

"Yes, as long as you know it."

Tong Gang nodded and reminded him, "Don't get involved in these kinds of attention-grabbing things in the future. You'll be watched by countless people, and things will be maliciously amplified. This incident is a typical example."

Tian Xiaole shook his head: "They've already taken advantage of me. If I don't speak up, where will I put my face as a big director?"

Tong Gang glanced over and saw that Tian Xiaole was as stubborn as a mule, so he didn't try to persuade her any further.

Once they suffer some losses in the future, they'll learn to control their temper.

···
After leaving Tong Gang's office, Tian Xiaole was called over by Han Sanping, who looked at him as if he were an alien.

"You have such a bad temper. How come I didn't notice it before? You didn't even give Tong Tu any face during the meeting."

"Saving face is a two-way street. Just because he's a leader doesn't mean I have to go along with everything he says. Otherwise, all my efforts in speaking out would be wasted."

Tian Xiaole lay on the sofa, completely out of sorts, under immense pressure, but thankfully she pulled through.

"You've gotten what you wanted, but you've also offended a lot of people."

"It doesn't matter, just come on over." Tian Xiaole shrugged, completely unconcerned.

I used to believe in having many friends, but that was always based on the premise that it was profitable.

A few true friends are enough. At most, Ning Hao is half a friend of Tian Xiaole's. The rest are female celebrities who buy hooks.

As long as you have value, you won't lack friends. It's normal to be a little arrogant, otherwise everyone will want to step on you.

···
The actor's punishment has been changed above; you might not notice it unless you look closely.

"The actors who participated in the filming of [Apple] were severely criticized and educated, and made profound self-criticisms."

The announcement regarding Tang Wei remains unchanged.

They haven't explicitly announced a ban, but they've already communicated with major television stations privately.

She, as a victim, appears to be affected by Tian Xiaole's actions, but in reality, she has no connection to him at all.

Even Apple has punished her, so of course she can't escape it; it's just a matter of time.

"Boss, should we publish this news?"

Since his exposés brought his website a huge amount of traffic, Huang Jixin has been keen on exposing all kinds of news.

"If this gets out, Huo Wenxi will come after me." Tian Xiaole smiled.

The cooperation with Yinghuang has been quite pleasant, and there's no need to create a rift over this. However, as a partner, it's still necessary to offer a reminder.

The smear material that Huang Jixin bought was the infamous "computer gate" scandal.

"Director Tian, ​​you're really something now, getting all worked up for a woman."

On the other end of the phone, Huo Wenxi's joking laughter could be heard.

"Director Huo is in a good mood, and hopefully he'll maintain that attitude later."

Tian Xiaole said with a smile, holding the phone in one hand while flipping through the photos on the table with the other.

"Director Tian, ​​what do you mean by that?"

Huo Wenxi stopped joking and became serious.

I sent you a multimedia message, take a look for yourself.

Tian Xiaole hung up the phone and looked at Zhizhi's photo, who was wearing a white nurse's uniform.

His eyes were glazed over, and his expression and state of mind seemed off.

Soon, Huo Wenxi called back, his tone no longer as capable as usual, but somewhat flustered.

"Director Tian, ​​where did you get the photos?"

"Of course I bought it. Did you think I took a picture of it on the spot?" Tian Xiaole said irritably.

"Name your price, I'll buy all the photos you have."

"Director Huo, do you think I'm short of a little bit of middleman's money? I'm not the only one who has these photos; other media outlets probably have them too. You should prepare a public relations plan as soon as possible."

Without giving Huo Wenxi a chance to ask further questions, Tian Xiaole hung up the phone and looked at Huang Jixin, who was waiting beside her:
"As soon as the photos appear online, we'll release them."

"Okay, boss."

Huang Jixin was a little disappointed. If this news had been leaked, it would have been explosive news, generating a considerable amount of traffic.

Back then, Leyu.com's website must have been overwhelmed by netizens eager to gossip!

On the other hand, Huo Wenxi knew that this matter was very serious; if not handled properly, all the artists under his management would be wiped out.
