News in the entertainment industry is always emerging and is very popular.

Someone anonymously emailed someone claiming to have found Jin Qiaoqiao's phone, which contained her private photos.

There are also numerous "intermediaries" offering invitations, with clearly marked price lists for "accompanying drinks."

Models and female students from art schools charge between three and five thousand yuan.

Third- or fourth-tier celebrities earn around 5,000 to 10,000 yuan.

The fees for A-list celebrities can reach six figures, or even more.

The revelation quickly went viral, sparking discussion on various platforms and being followed by reports from multiple media outlets.

For a time, talent agencies and female celebrities in the industry were all on edge, afraid of being involved in even the slightest thing.

Everyone knows the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, but when they're laid bare in the open, it feels glaringly obvious.

It's worth something if traded in secret, but it's worthless once it's on the market.

Unlike female celebrities in the industry who panicked, after all, they had questionable morals and it was common for their companies to require them to accompany clients for drinks.

The actors under Xiaole Pictures are different; they don't have these troublesome things at all. Their job is to act well and keep the boss happy.

The explicit text message reminded Tian Xiaole of a fat man with a big head and ears, who was probably suing his wife right now.

There are many influential figures in the industry, and the news about "accompanying customers for drinks" quickly disappeared from major websites.

At this moment, Tian Xiaole was holding Yang Mi in her arms; Yang Mi had finished filming her scenes in "Brotherhood of Blades".

"Were you ever asked to drink with others when you were at Rong Xinda?"

"When Chen Shaohong is making movies and seeking investment, she will take the company's newcomers to broaden their horizons."

Tian Xiaole strolled around, while Yang Mi spoke breathlessly, as she was very familiar with the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry.

After all, he debuted as a child star and has been exposed to many sordid things.

"Senior, I'm leaving for America tomorrow. Can you keep me company tonight?"

"Okay, I'll come find you later."

Tian Xiaole whispered the location of the "base" in Yang Mi's ear and gave her a spare key.

"What should you do now?"

"Senior brother, this is in the office, how about tonight..."

Yang Mi said in a hesitant tone.

"I want an office."

As he spoke, he pressed her head down, and Tian Xiaole leaned back, closed her eyes, and lay on the chair.

········
The next day, Yang Mi limped to the airport. When Tan Songyun asked her with concern, she said that she had sprained her ankle going downstairs.

Photos of the two traveling to Hollywood were reported by the media.

"Xiao Le Pictures actors Yang Mi and Tan Songyun have gone to Hollywood to join the cast of 'Humans 4'..."

Friends of both actresses in the industry sent their blessings and expressed their anticipation for their performance.

The entertainment industry is never short of fresh news. The news that Xiaole Pictures' script "The Witch" was rejected in the latest approval list released by the Film Bureau spread throughout the film and television industry in an instant.

This is big news!
The fact that Tian Xiaole's script was rejected by the Film Bureau is unbelievable to many people.

It's worth noting that the bureau always has a fast track for top directors, especially for a double-gold director who is currently enjoying great success.

People in the industry are very curious about what the script is about.
Some people couldn't sit still, while others gloated.

Ning Hao is shameless. When he called, he sighed and teased, as if to say, "You've finally met your match."

"Even your script was rejected. I don't even want to think about my 'No Man's Land' anymore. It may never be released in my lifetime."

"I didn't expect that this would expose the true colors of some people and make them start to jump up and down."

Tian Xiaole shook his head and sighed.

"So, what exactly did you write?" Ning Hao asked curiously.

"A story based on the 'digital' force, which uses inhumane human experiments to modify weapons of war."

"This is a true story, why can't it be filmed?" Ning Hao didn't understand.

"Heh, you'd have to ask the people who review these reviews?"

Tian Xiaole wanted to question the members of the review committee and ask them what they were trying to do, especially that guy surnamed Lu.

Just after hanging up with Ning Hao, Lu Zhen called; he couldn't sit still.

The lead actor is Jing Tian, ​​who cares about this project more than anyone else.

"Director Tian, ​​do you need me to step in?"

"Not for now. I need them to give me an explanation. It's not just a simple matter of whether it passes the review or not."

Tian Xiaole declined Lu Zhen's offer. With Lu Zhen's influence, the script could easily pass the review, but there was no need for it.

"Alright then, just let me know if you need anything."

"Yes, I won't be polite."

Tian Xiaole tossed her phone aside and started browsing online discussions about the matter.

Most netizens were curious and wanted to know what the article contained.

Many moviegoers are outraged. Tian Xiaole is a great director and a face of Chinese-language cinema. If even his script is rejected, will we be able to see good movies in the future?
Amidst the online discussions, a post titled "Young Directors Should Not Be Narcissistic" instantly attracted widespread attention.

The poster is a member of the film censorship committee.

The post directly names and criticizes the script "The Witch" written by Tian Xiaole:
"Tian Xiaole is immersed in the honors she has received, lost herself, forgotten her original aspirations, and gone against reality... The script she wrote deviates seriously from the facts, loses the social responsibility of an artist, and may very well damage the current friendship between China and Japan..."

The painful history caused by the "digital army" should have been forgotten long ago. In this peaceful era, we should just live happily and look forward... This caused an uproar among netizens.

What the hell do you mean by "we should forget the past"?
History should be remembered; to forget the suffering we endured is tantamount to forgetting our ancestors.

Suddenly, the crowd was furious.

Is this why the script was rejected?
Netizens flocked to the Film Bureau's official website to demand an explanation, asking whose nerve the "digital army" had touched.
Immediately, public opinion was in an uproar.

The other party couldn't withstand the pressure of public opinion and deleted the post, but the impact had already spread.

This matter is being discussed on major websites and social media platforms.

Even those who know little about the "Digital Military Crime Evidence Exhibition Hall" are flocking to visit it.

If it weren't for this incident, many people in the south wouldn't know that such a venue existed.

Tian Xiaole received a call from Han Sanping, who told him not to add fuel to the fire, as the online public opinion was already chaotic enough.

"Uncle Han, is this the result you're giving me, that I'm not allowed to stay silent?"

"The bureau is already trying to find ways to get those old guys to retire voluntarily."

Han Sanping was also annoyed by these old men. If he let some of them step down, the censorship of scripts would probably be more lenient.

"My production team has everything ready. It's impossible for me to shut up. I need a clear answer."

"We need to consider the impact of each conflict that escalates so quickly."

"If we're really worried about the impact, it should be the person who cut my script."

Tian Xiaole is standing on the moral, righteous, and national high ground. If you don't start criticizing him now, you'll have fewer and fewer opportunities to do so in the future.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Han Sanping stopped bringing it up. The more Tian Xiaole made a scene, the greater the pressure from public opinion in the bureau became, and the sooner those people would be fired.

·······
"Senior Brother Tian, ​​is the production team still preparing?"

Guo Fan, having never experienced anything like this before, saw the online comments and came to Tian Xiaole for advice.

"We will keep all the work running smoothly. We will send audition invitations to the actors we want to use, and I will handle the rest."

Without looking up, Tian Xiaole looked at the edited blog post, felt it wasn't sharp enough, and added a few more words.

"Then I'll continue preparing."

"Well, let's go."

Seeing Tian Xiaole so calm and collected, Guo Fan felt relieved; it's always good to have a powerful backer.

Look at Ning Hao, there's no sign of "No Man's Land" getting approved, and he's slinking off to start a new film.

Tian Xiaole updated her Weibo, questioning why the script was not approved, asking if there were certain contents that were not allowed.
"The setting of the script for 【The Witch】is based on the 'Digital Force'. Why can't this real history be filmed?"
The Harbin "Digital Force" Crime Evidence Exhibition Hall contains the most compelling physical evidence, including various human anatomical experiments, each row and line a testament to the blood and tears of the Chinese people...

Filming is prohibited for historical sites that draw on historical precedents, but it is allowed for sites like Nanjing that have been whitewashed.

Today I'm going to ask the members of the review committee: what exactly are you trying to do? What are your intentions? Are you trying to deny this history?

The article's publication once again sparked public outrage.

The three questions raised became the testimony of the film censorship committee.

People couldn't help but think of the content related to [Nanjing].

However, when it comes to true history, it takes a one-size-fits-all approach, presenting two extremes.

The incident has caused an uproar online, with many questioning the matter.

"Director Tian Xiaole's three questions are also what many netizens want to know. Please provide a positive explanation."

"..."

The internet is in chaos.

The Film Bureau was also in turmoil; a certain group within the censorship department was frantically scrolling through online comments with bloodshot eyes.

They've become traitors and lackeys.

At an average age of 60, if they were to bear this title, they would be too ashamed to face their ancestors even after death.

"This Tian Xiaole is simply lawless."
Zhao Baohua was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged. His account was filled with comments cursing him, which were simply unbearable to look at.

"We cannot allow online discussions to continue unchecked. What will become of our censorship committee's reputation and dignity?"

A hint of resentment flashed in Lu Tianmin's eyes as the matter of Nanjing was brought up again for discussion.

"Let's get practical, how do we solve this?"

The old men fell silent; the bureau had long been dissatisfied with them.

Whoever steps forward now will be the first to stick their neck out.

"Old Lu, you were the one who insisted on rejecting the script. Go to the bureau and make Tian Xiaole shut up."

"Let him take the script back and resubmit it, then we'll approve it."

Upon hearing this suggestion, the old men fell silent; this was the best way to show them respect.

This approach can both protect their rights and silence netizens.

········
Tian Xiaole's side was also in turmoil, receiving various calls all urging him to delete the article: "Xiaole, I'm truly impressed, you really dare to stand up to me."

Ning Hao said indignantly, "Well said! Why can [Nanjing] pass the review, but my [No Man's Land] can't? They're just a bunch of traitors and lackeys."

There's a lot of discussion about "No Man's Land" online. Maybe after this, your movie will be approved.

"Anyway, I have no hope; I'm not you."

Ning Hao was a little frustrated. Tian Xiaole's achievements, his reputation as a representative of Chinese cinema, and his impeccable political background allowed him to act recklessly.

But he's no good; he's just an ordinary, unsophisticated guy. Chinese cinema wouldn't be affected at all without him. (End of Chapter)
