My capital is quite large.

Hearing the agent's wailing and screaming on the other end of the phone, Fan Xiaopang, who was about to open the car door, raised his eyebrows and showed a displeased expression on his delicate face.

"Brother Mu! You're a veteran in this industry, why are you making such a fuss?!"

Fan Xiaopang gave a somewhat impatient snort.

"What's the panic! Even if the sky falls, there are tall people on top to hold it up!"

"With Brother Xu around, who in this industry can do anything to us?!"

"Oh my goodness! Forget about Boss Xu for now, hurry up and check your Weibo!!"

The agent on the other end of the phone was so anxious that he was stamping his feet, his voice hoarse beyond recognition.

Fan Xiaopang curled his lip indifferently and clicked on Weibo's trending topics list.

However, when Fan Xiaopang saw the post with a high-definition contract photo that had topped the trending list thanks to Cui, he remained somewhat unconvinced:

"I thought it was something serious."

"These contracts are in duplicate... Which top celebrity in the industry doesn't sign them this way?"

"We've all been doing this tacitly for years, what's the big deal?"

In her limited understanding, the practice of using two contracts to "legally avoid" high income taxes in the film and television industry has long been an open secret throughout the industry.

She believed that the law could not punish the masses and didn't believe they could cause any major trouble.

"Little Fatty! Are you stupid?!"

Hearing Fan Xiaopang's utterly disrespectful tone, the agent on the other end of the phone was so anxious he almost had a heart attack.

"It's different! It's completely different!"

"On this land of ours, there are some things that, when they are not weighed, weigh less than two ounces."

"But once it's on the scale, you can't stop it from weighing a thousand or ten thousand pounds!"

"Others did the work, but their signed contracts weren't shown in high definition and uncensored to hundreds of millions of people!"

"The whole internet is watching you now. You're being used as a scapegoat, roasted on a chopping board!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiaopang's heart skipped a beat for a moment.

Fear and panic washed over her like a tidal wave.

"Then... what do we do now?!"

Fan Xiaopang gave instructions in a somewhat flustered manner:

"Quickly! Have the studio issue a statement immediately! Deny everything!"

"Sue him for spreading rumors and defamation! Sue him for malicious insults! Sue him for illegally obtaining and publicly releasing our production team's confidential business contracts! Hire online trolls to bring this trending topic down!"

The agent on the other end of the phone smiled wryly:

"The Ministry of Justice's statement and crisis communication are already being drafted! But Fatty, I must warn you, issuing a statement will only buy you a little time at most."

"The most important thing now is to shut that guy surnamed Cui up!"

"As long as he doesn't give a straight answer, this matter will absolutely not end well!"

"I...I'll go find someone right now! I'll go find Brother Xu!" Fan Xiaopang hurriedly hung up the phone.

......

The moment he hung up the phone, Fan Xiaopang, who was still immersed in desire, had no interest in playing a friendly match whatsoever.

The big black ox holding roses naturally noticed that something was wrong with Fan Xiaopang.

He stepped forward with concern, considerately reaching out to support her shoulder, and softly comforted her:

"Fatty, what happened? Is there trouble with the film crew?"

"Tell me what's wrong, I..."

However, at this moment, Fan Xiaopang, whose mind was filled only with his future and life and death, lost all his original charm and gentleness in an instant.

She brushed aside the outstretched hand of the big black bull with some annoyance, coldly tossing out a sentence:

"I have something urgent to attend to, so I won't be eating dinner tonight. We can talk about it another time!"

After saying that, Fan Xiaopang didn't even give Da Hei Niu a chance to speak before hastily getting into the van and speeding away with a "bang".

Under the sunshade on set, only a bewildered-looking Da Hei Niu remained, standing alone and disheveled in the early summer breeze.

......

Twenty minutes later.

While netizens were still debating the vague contract exposed by host Cui, the official Weibo account of Fan Xiaopang's studio swiftly released a formal statement bearing a large red official seal:

At 11:08 on June 7, 2017, a Weibo user named Haofeng, whose real name is verified as Cui, posted an insulting post that read, "You don't need to act, you're really bad." The post included several pictures of confidential performance contracts, in which Ms. Fan Xiaopang was an invited actress, and the performance fee and other details were listed.

On June 8, 2017, at 11:02 AM, host Cui posted another blog entry claiming that an actor signed two contracts (one large and one small) for a single film, and attached a picture of an authorization letter with an unclear signature. While not explicitly naming anyone, this post deliberately alluded to Ms. Fan Xiaopang. Subsequently, many media outlets and internet users, based on these two blog entries by host Cui, fabricated a story claiming that Fan Xiaopang received 60 million yuan for participating in filming for four days.

To clarify the facts, this studio hereby solemnly declares as follows:

First, Cui's actions of publicly releasing confidential contracts and openly insulting Ms. Fan Xiaopang not only violated business rules but also infringed upon Ms. Fan Xiaopang's legitimate rights and interests.

Second, the actions of relevant media outlets and internet users who, without verification or confirmation, claimed that Ms. Fan Xiaopang used a "dual contract" method for signing contracts and spread the rumor that "Fan Xiaopang received 6 million yuan for filming for 4 days," have constituted defamation against Ms. Fan Xiaopang.

Third, this studio solemnly warns the relevant parties to immediately delete the infringing content and stop spreading false information, so as to avoid incurring legal liability.

In response to this incident, our studio has engaged Yanjing Xingquan Law Firm to collect evidence and handle the matter in accordance with the law, and reserves the right to pursue legal action against the relevant parties!

However, this seemingly strongly worded public relations statement has become a joke in the eyes of netizens who are getting smarter and smarter these days!

"Hahaha, this is amazing! Everyone, look closely at the first sentence of the statement—'Publicly releasing confidential contracts'!"

"Isn't this just admitting guilt?! If the contract is fake, you should sue him for forgery. By suing him for 'leaking confidential contracts,' aren't you essentially admitting that the contents of this 'two-faced contract' are real?!"

"What illogical thinking! Their PR team is definitely incompetent!"

The internet has become a sea of ​​joy.

At the Four Top Celebrities Night the day before yesterday, Zhao Liying's fan group, which already had a close relationship with Fan Xiaopang's fans, seemed to have divine assistance at this moment!

Zhao Liying's numerous big fans and support groups all transformed into righteous crusaders, tirelessly reposting Cui's original Weibo post with overwhelming mockery and schadenfreude:

"Thank you, Teacher Cui, for ridding the people of this scourge! Some people were swaggering on stage last night, but today they've been exposed for what they really are!"

"Shameless! It turns out what Liying said was true; some people are not only shameless, they even dare to evade national taxes! I suggest the tax authorities investigate thoroughly!"
