This director lacks vision.

Chapter 183 Live Broadcast Clarification
7:40 PM on September 9rd.

9th floor, Block B, Fenglian Plaza Building.

President's office at Huayi Brothers.

Brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei were smoking together.

Wang Zhonglei said, "Currently, more than 50 media outlets have been following and reporting on the scandalous artist Crown Girls Group's performance of 'Back to 20'."

On both Sohu and Sina Weibo, boycott campaigns have been launched, and the momentum has already grown.

However, in terms of box office revenue, it has not had a significant impact on "Back to 20" for the time being.

Should we escalate our attack?

Wang Zhongjun took a drag of his cigarette and asked, "How do we increase the intensity?"

“Continue to escalate the issue, bring it to Korea, and then report the attitude of Korean media in China, saying that returning to being 20 years old is a disgrace to the country and has made us lose face internationally.”

Let's hype up the school bullying incident again to arouse everyone's hatred for the bullies.

It will at least affect the box office and screenings of "Back to 20".

The ideal outcome would be for the authorities to intervene and demand that "Back to 20" be pulled from theaters early.

The box office performance of If You Are the One 2 suffered a terrible drop due to the impact of "Back to 20".

In its previous life, If You Are the One 2 grossed nearly 5 million yuan at the box office, with 2 million yuan coming from the first week and 3 million yuan from the following three weeks.

Now, after the release of "Back to 20," "If You Are the One 2" has only grossed 4600 million yuan in its first week.

The total box office is currently 2.62 million yuan. If no action is taken, the final box office is estimated to be around 3 million yuan.

"Don't rush into this. Let's watch Jiang Yifeng's live stream first," Wang Zhongjun said. "Besides, If You Are the One 2 has been released for half a month, and the audience's reviews are so-so. Even if it beats Back to 20, it's hard to say how much the box office will be."

We don't need to completely offend Jiang Yifeng.

Jiang Yifeng posted a preview on Weibo this morning, saying that he will be doing a live broadcast on Sohu Video at 8 pm tonight to talk about the topic of "Back to 20" and clarify the Crown Girls Group issue.

The news about returning to 20 and the Crown Girls group is currently very popular.

Jiang Yifeng's Weibo post immediately garnered attention across the internet.

The Wang brothers also planned to watch the live broadcast to see how Jiang Yifeng would clarify the situation and make a timely response.

Compared to her brother's steady approach, Wang Zhonglei is more aggressive.

He said, "Jiang Yifeng's current momentum is even stronger than Lao Feng's back then. He owns his own company."

Fengxing Media is also planning to go public, so there is no possibility of cooperation between us, and we will inevitably be competitors in the future.

If we only watch If You Are the One 2, then we can indeed stop now.

However, from a broader perspective, we must intensify our efforts to severely punish Jiang Yifeng and gain an advantage in future competition.

Furthermore, if "Shaolin" is released in ten days and "Back to 20" is still as popular, "Shaolin" will also be affected.

"Shaolin" is a film co-invested by Huayi Brothers and Yinhuang, starring Andy Lau, Xie Tingfeng, Fan Bingbing, and others. It will be released on January 19.

Huayi Brothers had always been a sycophant to the Hong Kong entertainment circle in its early years, so it had a good relationship with The King of Pop.

Originally, this year's Lunar New Year film season was supposed to be dominated by Huayi Brothers and Yinhuang, both of which made a fortune.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yifeng appeared out of nowhere and turned the market upside down.

Wang Zhonglei's words made sense, but Wang Zhongjun did not agree immediately. Instead, she changed the subject and asked, "What did Xiaogang say?"

Wang Zhonglei replied, "He needs to rest for six months before resuming filming of 1942."

While Huayi's IPO certainly created many billionaires, it also fostered complacency.

Feng Xiaogang is a prime example.

After Huayi Brothers successfully went public, his film output declined sharply.

It's ostensibly a transition to art films, but really it's just that people have money and want to enjoy life, so their career pursuits aren't as urgent anymore.

Directors like Zhang Yimou, who are consistently prolific, are, after all, a minority.

On the one hand, Zhang Yimou is full of energy and has the energy to keep making movies;

On the other hand, he was badly screwed over by Zhang Weiping. He didn't make much money in the early stages, and later he was also screwed over by LeEco, losing a lot of money.

He has many children at home and is genuinely short of money.

Just as Wang Zhongjun was about to speak, his secretary reminded him, "Mr. Wang, the live stream is about to start. We've already set up the screen in the conference room."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei went to the conference room next door.

On the projected screen, Da Peng was sitting in a chair, while Jiang Yifeng and Liu Yifei sat side by side on a sofa.

Upon seeing Liu Yifei, Wang Zhonglei said, "I told you we were going to target Jiang Yifeng. Everyone in the industry knows we don't get along with Liu Yifei, so everyone will give us some face."

This Jiang Yifeng shows absolutely no consideration or scruples, frequently interacting with Liu Yifei.

Wang Zhongjun didn't say anything, he just sat down in the chair.

In the live stream, Da Peng said, "Welcome everyone to our anonymous live stream today."

This live stream was added on short notice and didn't have a specific theme; it was just a casual chat with viewers.

There are always more people at night. In just a short while, the live stream already had more than 30 viewers, and the number is still soaring.

Dapeng began asking questions.

"Director Jiang, I heard you say you were going to promote 'Back to 20', and I thought you would bring Shu Chang to do a live broadcast with you. I didn't expect it to be the fairy sister Liu Yifei."

Liu Yifei showed her funny side.

She joked, "Now that 'Back to 20' is a huge hit, Changchang is already a superstar. Her appearance fee is quite high, and Director Jiang can't afford to hire her."

"I was cheaper, so he brought me here."

Today, Liu Yifei is dressed in a cool and elegant style.

Not only did she have a classic updo hairstyle, but she also wore a black choker, red high heels, and a platinum diamond anklet.

Liu Yifei has very fair skin and an ethereal aura. When she wears jewelry and gold ornaments, it's easy for people to overlook where the jewelry is.

So much so that when someone endorses China Gold, China Gold specifically marks the location of the jewelry in the endorsement photos.

However, this doesn't happen when she wears a choker and anklet.

The black choker made her fair skin appear even more translucent, and the anklet added to the beauty of her ankles, giving her a cool and alluring charm.

Initially, viewers flooded the live stream with comments like "Liu Yifei looks so sexy today" and "Fairy Sister stepped on me." However, Liu Yifei's silly remarks ruined her cool and glamorous image and shattered everyone's expectations.

Jiang Yifeng shook his head and said, "Didn't we agree that you would keep quiet and be a decorative vase today?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei glared at Jiang Yifeng, then pouted, turned her head away, and remained silent.

This scene looks just like a young couple having a tiff.

A sweet, cloying scent of romance filled the live stream room.

"Brothers, knives in hand! Kill Jiang the dog!"

"Kill me!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The chat in the live stream was brimming with murderous intent.

Da Peng joked, "Director Jiang, we're doing a live broadcast, so please be a little more restrained."

Liu Yifei couldn't help but say, "What's there to restrain? Jiang Yifeng and I aren't in a romantic relationship."

We are just good friends in life and business partners.

Please don't misunderstand.

Jiang Yifeng looked at Liu Yifei and said with a smile, "You lost. I told you it's not easy to be a pretty face. You couldn't help talking and didn't do a good job as a pretty face."

"You're treating us to supper tonight."

"I'll treat, I'll treat!" Liu Yifei subconsciously reached out and lightly pinched Jiang Yifeng's arm, saying fiercely, "I'll fatten you up, let's see how you flirt with women everywhere!"

Da Peng: "..."

Seeing the interaction between Jiang Yifeng and Liu Yifei, not only was Da Peng speechless, but the viewers in the live broadcast room also protested one after another.

"Yes, yes, yes! You're just friends, telling us not to misunderstand! I don't believe you!"

"Is this sweet and natural interaction really just a friendship?"

"Liu Yifei is still quite amusing; she can't keep any secrets at all. Look at her sitting posture and the distance between her and Jiang Yifeng; they are clearly in a very close relationship."

"Are you two deliberately showing off your love in this live stream? Kill me to liven things up for you!"

"I don't care. Now that 'Back to 20' is a box office hit, I just want to see Liu Yifei keep her promise and dress up as an Avatar!"

……

After livening up the atmosphere, with the number of viewers in the live stream exceeding 60, Jiang Yifeng took the initiative to take over the topic.

"Back to 20" premieres in Korea tomorrow and will be released in Japan 8 days later. Shu Chang and Bai Ke are going abroad to promote it.

So I can't make it to today's live stream event.

Da Peng feigned surprise and asked, "Can 'Back to 20' still be shown in Korea?"
We know that the movie features a cameo appearance by the girl group Crown, who faced a complete boycott in Korea.

Upon hearing this question, both Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei sat up straight, leaving the back of their chairs.

Jiang Yifeng replied, "I have always emphasized that the Crown Girls Group has been wronged and they have not engaged in any bullying."

These six girls are all dream chasers who have poured countless sweat into their stage dreams. They understand each other's hardships and sacrifices the most.

Why would someone bully others?
All of this was Liu Huaying's lies and deception.

After much effort, we finally collected the evidence.

I have two videos and one audio recording here. You can take a look and listen to them.

Jiang Yifeng picked up the remote control and pressed a button, and the TV screen inside the live broadcast room began playing a video.

The camera then switched to a full video feed.

The first video shows the entire process of Liu Huaying's injury during training. She was practicing chair dancing when she lost her balance and fell onto a chair, resulting in a fracture.

Upon seeing this, Jeon Boram and others immediately went to check on them and called an ambulance.

The second video shows Liu Huaying in a room, chatting smugly with a friend.

"It's so funny that one lie from me can destroy an entire girl group!"
Did you know that I went to see Ham Eun-jung yesterday?

This former captain, who used to be so confident and high-spirited, is now in such a sorry state.

When she saw me, she became timid and even begged me to let them go.

This is hilarious!
Ha ha ha ha! "

The video had Chinese subtitles, and while it was playing, the number of viewers in the live stream surged rapidly, quickly exceeding one million.

After all, the Crown Girls group thing is very popular in China, and everyone wants to know what's going on.

After the two videos, there is an audio recording, which also includes narration and subtitles.

The recording shows Kim Kwang-soo talking to Yoo Hwayoung and telling her not to push things too far.

But Liu Huaying refused.

After watching the video and listening to the recording, Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun exchanged a glance, both sensing something was wrong.

With irrefutable evidence, the situation has truly taken a complete turn!
"Damn it!"

Wang Zhonglei swore, while Wang Zhongjun calmly said, "Jiang Yifeng must have had this evidence a long time ago."

He deliberately kept it a secret, just waiting for us to fall into his trap.

Once we invest our funds and energy, and launch a fierce attack on this point, he will then produce evidence to refute us.

They even used the hype we generated to increase attention for his movie and the Crown Girls group.

This guy is so cunning, it's all a setup!

Wang Zhonglei cursed again and asked, "So what do we do now?"

Wang Zhongjun sighed and said, "What else can we do? Of course, we should call it quits. Are you going to keep hyping this up and promoting Jiang Yifeng?"

"Damn it, I'm being made a fool of! I'm so unwilling to accept this!" Wang Zhonglei said fiercely as she looked at the live stream, "If I can't deal with Jiang Yifeng, can't I at least deal with you, Liu Yifei?"

Wang Zhongjun asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to release some more press releases to increase Liu Yifei's popularity."

Wang Zhongjun: "..."
