Huayu: A Commercial Director

Chapter 325 Big Event: Panda Released
Xiao Cui couldn't resist showing off her phone on Weibo.

And it became more and more violent every day, crushing all entertainment news.

Chen Shou has been watching the drama unfold these past few days, while also doing something else entirely.

To fuel the flames.

The person targeted was Director Feng, an old friend of Huayi Brothers, whose relationship with Huayi Brothers is deeply intertwined.

Whatever movie he's filming now, the Huayi brothers are already in a real bind.

The entire entertainment industry wants to suppress this matter, after all, it has a really big impact.

Some people even called Chen Shouzhe, hoping he could help suppress the matter, and Lao Guo also called to inquire.

“I’m clean, why should I go and associate with them?”

Chen Shouzhe hung up the phone without hesitation after receiving it; anyone who got involved in this kind of thing would be doomed.

Public opinion has already taken hold, how come the higher-ups aren't paying attention?

Zhong Lifan sat to the side drinking tea: "I checked our internal system, and there's nothing wrong with it, but..."

"But what?"

"There are some in Yangmi's area."

"Tell her to resolve this quickly. Have you notified everyone else?"

“We’ve already informed Huang Bo and Wu Jing. There’s nothing we can do; the pay in the film and television industry is already high, and everyone is trying to avoid it, so they’ll open companies in places with lower pay,” Zhong Lifan said.

She had once suggested that Chen Shou do the same thing, pointing out that most large internet companies operate this way, setting up their operations in the Cayman Islands, USA.

The lowest level of domestic companies is in a small county in the Northwest. It's hard to imagine that hundreds of thousands of companies are registered in that small county. Starting a company in the entertainment industry is very easy. A company can just pop up out of nowhere, and even a few artists can join forces to start a company.

Despite the fact that the film company wasn't publicly listed and the income was so high, Chen Shouzhe didn't enjoy many benefits, but he still paid according to the regulations.

The entertainment industry is in a state of panic this time, with everyone afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.

On June 1st, "Panda" became addictive, leaving the publicity team speechless. After all, this was a huge deal, and publicity was difficult, but the box office was not significantly affected.

It grossed 2.55 million yuan on its opening day.

With elementary school students on holiday and their parents accompanying them, they end up with three movie tickets. And now that there's a push for two or three children, is it true that there's only one?

The box office results on Children's Day are enviable, but people in the film industry don't care about the box office; they only care about the film studio constantly promoting and investing in publicity.

It has already fully partnered with Tencent, and both of Tencent's major social media apps have been featured in its ads. The box office dropped to 2.26 million on the second day, but then remained above 100 million. It has also been released overseas, and its box office performance is not bad.

On June 3rd, Chen Shouzhe was preparing to film Journey to the West. All the actors were in place, and Chen Shouzhe confirmed the actors' information before filming.

"Everyone, you've all seen the Weibo posts these past few days, right? I hope you won't make any mistakes in this matter. There's still a chance to make amends." Chen Shou said cryptically, but the actors present believed him without a doubt.

Wang Baobao said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm completely innocent."

Chen Shouzhe naturally trusted Wang Baobao. An artist whose wife and agent had an affair, yet he couldn't find any stain on his reputation, was naturally not a problem.

Chen Shouzhe trusted Wang Baobao the most in the entire crew. He had read the contracts of other artists who had similar issues, and if it affected the film, the compensation they would have to pay would be many times more than what they were paying now.

So do what needs to be done right away, don't wait until you're discovered and then Chen is chasing you for compensation.

Journey to the West is hailed as the biggest IP, but on the day filming began, Miss Fan still stole the spotlight. On June 4th, the authorities intervened, making headlines and demanding a thorough investigation.

On that very day, Huayi couldn't hold on any longer, its stock price plummeted to the daily limit, and the share price dropped to seven yuan.

The entire film and television industry is on high alert, with everyone checking for problems and proactively addressing any issues that need to be rectified.

As for the Fan family, they are finished, and even the great director Feng and Liu Zhengyun are the same; they have become pariahs.

After enduring two months of hardship, the host finally unleashed his weapon, directly targeting Director Feng and Liu Zhengyun with heavy blows.

The second film, which was being filmed, was abruptly halted. The only member of the entire crew who was unaffected was Ge You, who is no longer with Huayi Brothers.

Although the main target of the attack was the Fan family, there was a force that kept steering the conversation toward Huayi.

It's obvious that they want to drag Huayi down completely. Many people have noticed that numerous self-media accounts, public accounts, short video bloggers, and so on are trying to drag Huayi down, especially on Toutiao, where there have been consecutive trending topics featuring Huayi.

Anyone with eyes can see that this is an attempt to bring down Huayi.

"Who is it?"

Inside Huayi, the Wang brothers were furious. They tried to cool things down by focusing their attention on Ms. Fan, hoping to draw public attention to her.

After all, she's a celebrity, she's under the spotlight. It would be best to bring her out of the spotlight, and then we can compensate her.

He shielded Huayi from a attack.

The problem is that there's a force behind the scenes that's been pulling Huayi down and trying to drown it.

Wang Zongjun was furious because he still didn't know who the water ghost was, and Feng Kuzi next to him didn't dare to say a word. He didn't expect Xiao Cui to have such a big trick up his sleeve. If he had known, he wouldn't have touched that movie sequel.

"Could it be that he's the bandit leader Zuo Shandiao?" Wang Zonglei asked, looking up.

Over the years, Huayi has offended many people, but the one they offended the most and who stabbed them in the back is the most suspected of being Zuo Shandiao.

After all, he was once the head of China Film Group and had a lot of influence, making him both the most likely and the least likely candidate.

After all, he has already retired. But now Wang Zonglei doesn't think about that anymore; everyone is their opponent.

Since the contract was exposed, various public opinions have been entangled, and starting in June, public opinion began to focus on Huayi.

After all, Ms. Fan is a member of Huayi Brothers and has collaborated with them the most. It can be said that Huayi Brothers made her a star.

"Don't talk nonsense. Zuo Shandiao (a famous bandit leader) wouldn't be that bored. This time, the other party did it very discreetly, using the influence of the internet. They must be someone who has a great influence on the internet," Wang Zongjun said.

"Chen Shouzhe!!" Feng Kuzi thought of a name and blurted it out.

"It's definitely him." Wang Zonglei stood up, his anger blazing.

He had also thought about Chen Shouzhe, but because of the release of Kung Fu Panda and the filming of Journey to the West, he didn't think too much about it. After careful consideration, he realized that Chen Shouzhe was the most likely candidate.

After all, it's no secret that Chen Shouzhe has invested in many internet companies, and as those companies have grown stronger, they have gradually realized just how influential Chen Shouzhe is now.

The most likely person to target them is Chen Shouzhe, since the two families have long been sworn enemies.

“I’ll give him a call,” Wang Zonglei said through gritted teeth.
