This director lacks vision.

Chapter 172 The Troll Incident Occurs Ahead of Schedule
On the morning of November 20th, Jiang Yifeng arrived at the alien beast photography studio.

Then you see Wu Jing, Xie Miao, and Wang Baoqiang discussing the mecha's combat moves with the film crew's martial arts director.

Compared to the heaviness and oppressive feeling of large mechs, miniature mechs are more agile, and the battle scenes should be more imaginative.

The design of various movements is also particularly crucial.

Wu Jing, Xie Miao, and Wang Baoqiang have all studied martial arts and often come up with some very good ideas.

Of course, each move requires a special effects system and wearing "armor" to complete.

Even with special wire work, it is still much more difficult to execute than live-action fighting.

After nearly a month of training, the main actors in the crew gradually adapted to the weight of the equipment they wore, and the training effect was very good. Their muscle lines became clearer, and they looked very energetic.

Guo Fan's team has also returned to China, and the live footage has been shot, with all the shooting parameters adjusted to be almost complete.

The plan went even more smoothly than expected.

Jiang Yifeng plans to hold a press conference on November 25th to officially announce the Pacific Rim project and begin filming the web series.

Upon seeing Jiang Yifeng enter, Wu Jing immediately came over and said, "Director Jiang, is tomorrow the last episode of Sisters Who Make Waves to be filmed?"

Do you need any male guests? I'm willing to appear for free!

Don't be fooled by Wu Jing's youthful appearance; it's just because he has a baby face and maintains a good physical condition through consistent exercise.

In terms of actual age, he is already 36 years old.

He is genuinely considering important life events and wants to find a stable partner.

These days, Wu Jing has been posting a lot of "courtship" messages on Weibo.

Judging from his Weibo posts alone, he seems more eager than a seventeen or eighteen-year-old.

Last week, Jiang Yifeng's handsome appearance on Sisters Who Make Waves went viral, attracting a large number of female fans who called him "husband." Wu Jing was envious and had always wanted to go on Sisters Who Make Waves to show off her skills.

"Get out of here and train properly!" Jiang Yifeng didn't hold back with Wu Jing and directly complained, "You look like you're in heat, it's too scary to be on TV."

If all else fails, I'll have Qiao Shan take you to a club for a bath to cool you down.

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Wang Baoqiang said proudly, "Old Wu, don't be discouraged. When the time is right, things will fall into place. Even someone like me can get married, so what's the rush?"

These words, seemingly comforting, are actually a boastful statement made by someone who has been through it all.

Wang Baoqiang married Ma Rong this year, and at this time, he can be said to have achieved success in both his career and love life, and he is in a very good mood.

Wu Jing sighed and said, "I don't know why, but I haven't been very popular with women lately."

"I even learned magic tricks specifically to find a girlfriend."

Fan Bingbing walked over and said, "I know some girls, would you like me to introduce you?"

Wu Jing's face lit up with joy.

But then Jiang Yifeng joked, "Bingbing, don't waste your energy. Wu Jing deserves to be single."

Fan Bingbing asked, "Why?"

"Wu Jing, Wu Jing, the most crucial thing is missing, how are you going to find a girlfriend?"

As soon as this was said, the whole audience burst into laughter.

Fan Bingbing laughed so hard she bent over, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, she leaned on Jiang Yifeng's arm, laughing so hard she was sobbing.

They were very affectionate.

Seeing this, Wu Jing was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, gritting her teeth but there was nothing she could do!
Wang Baoqiang said, "Actually, Director Jiang once told me a secret to picking up girls."

Wu Jing immediately hugged Wang Baoqiang: "Tell me quickly!"

"What kind of attitude is this? If you want to learn the secret, you should at least treat me to a big meal!"

"No problem, as long as it's useful, I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat."

"Director Jiang said that as long as you're a director, that's fine. Didn't you direct 'Wolf Warrior'? Why don't you continue?"

Wu Jing: "..."

Being a director is not easy. "Wolf Warrior" only grossed a few million at the box office, and Wu Jing lost more than 200 million.

He's lost all his earnings from acting over the years.

His dream of becoming a director had to be temporarily extinguished.

Hearing Wang Baoqiang's words, Jiang Yifeng patted Fan Bingbing on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I'm always happy to help others. Lao Wu, if you have a good script that you want to make into a movie, you can come and find me."

Although Wu Jing has many minor flaws, at least in terms of her professional attitude, there is no problem.

He trained in the military and was recognized by the troops, who displayed banners praising him and calling on everyone to learn from him.

That's really impressive.

With the future rise of the Chinese film market, military action films are a great subject matter.

It doesn't have to be Wolf Warrior; as long as it's a film of that genre, Jiang Yifeng is willing to "support" Wu Jing if she wants to direct and star in it herself.

"Godfather, please accept my bow!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jing laughed heartily and started to playfully bow down in reverence.

Jiang Yifeng nodded and said, "There is one requirement."

Wu Jing straightened up and patted his chest, promising, "Whatever the request, as long as Godfather says so, I will definitely do it!"

"It's very simple. If you're a director, you need to focus on directing the film, and you shouldn't touch the female actors in the crew."

Wu Jing: "..."

Seeing Wu Jing's bewildered expression, Fan Bingbing laughed heartily and leaned on Jiang Yifeng's shoulder again.

Wu Jing asked defiantly, "Why can you do it but I can't?"

Before Jiang Yifeng could speak, Wang Baoqiang shouted in dialect, "How can they be the same!"

The audience burst into laughter, and Wu Jing herself laughed too.

It must be said that the atmosphere on the Pacific Rim set was very good.

Just as Jiang Yifeng was about to speak, his assistant Li Xia came over and whispered in his ear, "Boss, Jin Yuna is looking for you. She has something urgent to discuss."

Kim Ok-na is of Chinese descent and worked as the manager of the artist department at SM Entertainment in Korea.

After signing Crown Girls, Fengxing Media poached Jin Yuna.

She is primarily responsible for the business development and liaison work of the Crown Girls Group in China.

Jiang Yifeng walked into the studio's work area and saw Jin Yuna pacing back and forth, looking anxious.

Upon seeing Jiang Yifeng, Jin Yuna immediately reported: "President Jiang, Liu Huaying lied openly during a KBS interview program, saying that she was bullied by the other 6 members."

She broke her leg during training, but claimed that it was Jeon Boram and the others who caused it.

The program aired last night and caused a huge uproar in Korea.

Public opinion has now spiraled out of control.

We must issue a statement as soon as possible to clarify the situation, otherwise Crown Resorts' business in China will also be affected!

Jin Yuna was genuinely anxious, as her income was tied to the Crown Girls Group. Jiang Yifeng smiled and asked unhurriedly, "Are there any clips from the program interviews? Let me take a look."

Jin Yuna took out her phone and opened a video.

Because the screen was recorded using a mobile phone, the image was somewhat blurry, but Jiang Yifeng could still see a woman in her early twenties with a cast on her leg, tearfully accusing the bullying she had suffered in front of the camera.

The host at the scene was also very indignant and immediately began to condemn the other members of the Crown Group.

They acted as if it were true, without any intention of listening to the other side's statement.

Liu Huaying joined the Crown Troupe in August.

After she joined the group, because she was a newcomer with connections and had a bad temper, she had a very poor relationship with the others.

The workload of Korean girl groups is already very high.

Now that Crown Group has expanded into the Chinese market, it signed a contract with Avex last month and is preparing to expand into the Japanese market.

This kept them extremely busy, with members often only getting four or five hours of sleep a day.

That's what truly unscrupulous bosses are like.

When celebrities become products that can make money, few bosses care about their physical desires; they just want them to make more money.

Liu Huaying's family was well-off; her father was a member of parliament in Goryeo. Unable to endure the hardship, she was often late or left early, which caused her a lot of trouble.

Now that he's broken his leg in training, he's not really keen on continuing.

In addition, there was instigation and instigation from others.

This caused the troll incident in the Crown Guild to occur ahead of schedule.

Seeing that Jiang Yifeng was not in a hurry at all, Jin Yuna analyzed, "Mr. Jiang, you may not know much about Korea."

This small country is very particular about rules, especially the younger generation must respect their elders.

This leads to many senior colleagues bullying junior colleagues in the workplace, and the same phenomenon occurs in schools, with bullying occurring frequently.

Liu Huaying joined the Crown Troupe later, making her a junior member.

She was bullied by members who had debuted earlier. In the eyes of Koreans, this was the kind of bullying incident they hated most, and it was a very serious matter.

Moreover, Liu Hwayoung chose to reveal the news precisely when the 101 girl group was about to release a new album, and when Girls' Generation's first attempt to expand into the Chinese market failed.

This is clearly being orchestrated by entertainment companies like SM Entertainment.

If we don't respond promptly, these companies will definitely ignite public outcry.

"If the Crown Group's image collapses then, everything will be over!"

Kim Yuna was still clear-headed and could see that Liu Huaying was lying and that other companies were behind it.

After all, Crown Girls Group made a fortune by expanding into the Chinese market, which other entertainment companies in Korea envied.

Moreover, just like China, Korea also has the mentality that "the moon is rounder in foreign countries."

T-ara achieved success in China and gained a large following in Korea, gradually rising in status and even threatening Girls' Generation.

Liu Huaying's revelations are nothing more than simple, unpretentious business competition.

If Girls' Generation's appearance at the Youth Training Camp had achieved the desired effect, the troll incident might not have happened so soon.

However, Girls' Generation's failed debut at the Youth Training Camp did not cause much of a stir.

Crown still has the strongest appeal in the Chinese market.

Lee Soo-man wouldn't hold back either.

Ultimately, it's because Kim Kwang-soo and CCM aren't up to par.

Jiang Yifeng looked at Jin Yuna and said, "Even if a statement is to be issued to clarify the truth of the matter, it is the responsibility of CCM and Kim Kwang-soo."

Why are we in such a hurry?

You should remain still for now; I have my own plan.

Don't worry, if this causes the Crown Girls Group's business to be suspended, you won't lose a single penny of your bonus.

Upon hearing this, Jin Yuna calmed down considerably; that's just how real working people are.

Jiang Yifeng continued, "The most important thing for the girl group artist department right now is the release of the new album of the 101 girl group. Everything else can be put on hold."

First, collect evidence that Liu Huaying lied, and at the same time, closely monitor public opinion surrounding the Crown Girls Group. Send me an email every day to summarize changes in public opinion.

I will show you how to do it.

For Jiang Yifeng, the early outbreak of the troll incident was a good thing.

His minimum goal is to completely acquire CCM.

This is not wishful thinking.

If Kim Kwang-soo loses his crown, Jiang Yifeng will sue him according to the contract, and the penalty for breach of contract will be an astronomical figure.

CCM's most valuable asset is the Crown Girls group. Now that the Crown Girls group's image has been ruined, it's equivalent to goodwill impairment, so CCM is also worthless.

Even if the entire company were to be compensated by Fengxing Media, it probably wouldn't be enough to cover the breach of contract penalty.

As for whether the lawsuit will be won and how it will be enforced.

Jiang Yifeng wasn't worried at all.

Because CCM's parent company is CJ Group.

This company also has considerable assets and business in China.

Jiang Yifeng will sue both CCM and CJ together. If you don't pay me the penalty for breach of contract, then use the group's assets to offset it.

If the plan goes smoothly, it will most likely be an out-of-court settlement, where both parties agree on terms acceptable to each other.

Thanks to the efforts of Fengxing Media, the Crown Girls Group still enjoys a high level of popularity in China.

The controversy surrounding them in Korea quickly spread back to China.

Domestic viewers who were unaware of the facts also joined the Koreans in criticizing the T-ara girl group.

On the morning of November 22, Fengxing Media issued a statement saying that Liu Huaying lied and that Jeon Boram and the other five were wronged.

But not many viewers believed it.

Because in Korea, this matter has been solidified, and a collective boycott of the Crown Girls Group has begun.

On November 24, Fengxing Media issued another announcement.

"...Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent! There has never been a bullying incident in the Crown Girls Group!"
However, given the current public outcry and in order to respect public opinion and protect the members of the girl group, our company has no choice but to temporarily suspend all activities of the Crown Girl Group in China..."

The announcement was met with ridicule from many netizens.

"The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is. Does Fengxing Media even know what's going on with the girl groups in Korea?"

"Jiang Yifeng made a mistake this time. Crown is not a 101 girl group. After all, it is a foreign group and not directly managed by you. You didn't even know that they were bullying you."

"It's all about making money! Fengxing Media invested so many resources in Crown Girls Group, and now that Crown is gone, all those investments are lost. Of course, they have to do everything they can to protect it."

"We hope that Fengxing Media will not aid and abet evil and will quickly sever ties with Crown Girls Group!"

In this situation, Fengxing Media filed a lawsuit against CCM and its parent company.
