Chapter 166 Chapter 150 Short essay! Short essay!

Cheng Cheng:

"Regarding the grievances of You Dashao, he said, 'Do you know how much effort Lin Jia put into this role? You fooled me and Lin Jia, and hurt countless audiences. You ruined the entire industry.'

I would like to make a formal response and clarification here.

On February 2, the ninth day of the first lunar month, the projects of "Chinese Paladin 18" and "Love Apartment" were launched, and I posted on Weibo to open the casting to the whole society.

However, at this stage, I received calls from Tianying's leader Weng Ruzhong, Feiteng Video's vice president Qian Zan, Jiangnan TV's director Wu Hai and You Qing. The phone numbers were 176xxx, 189xxx, 180xxx, and 191xxx, and the operating companies were China Unicom, China Mobile, China Mobile, and China Telecom, respectively.

They are the backers behind Ma Lou, Lai Yiwei, Meng Xi and Lin Jia, and their specific relationship is unknown.

They each represented the interests of these four actors and strongly demanded that they secure roles for these four people.

At that time, I had just shot two films and my company had just been established. Although I had always required the selection of actors based on their suitability for the role, acting skills, lines, etc., and wanted to give all actors a fair and just opportunity, I could not and did not dare to refuse the requests of these four people.

The consequences of rejecting them are dire. It is very likely that the TV series cannot be filmed normally, cannot pass the review normally, and cannot be released normally. This is what I don’t want to see.

Therefore, what some netizens said, "If you don't want them to perform, you can just refuse at that time," is not true.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of a series of links in the TV series, I could only pretend to agree.

Of course, I didn't intend to lie to them at the beginning.

What I think is that if they have good acting skills, a good attitude, and fit the image, it may not be impossible for them to appear in the drama and play a real role.

But it was later confirmed that this was just my wishful thinking.

In fact, the nightmare began from the moment they agreed to participate in the show.

First there was the interview stage. Although their four roles had already been decided, they still had to go through the motions according to industry rules, come to the scene to try out the role and give the public an explanation, so that at least on the surface it looked like the real deal.

But the four of them didn't even come for audition. Director Dao and I waited for them for several days, but none of them showed up.

I don’t know if the four of them are just used to being arrogant, or if they rely on the people behind them and don’t take me seriously at all.

Yes, I'm just a director. Each of the people behind them has more power than me. Why should they take me seriously?
Later on, when the casting was announced, they were not seen during the auditions, but now they all came out in droves, scrambling to buy trending searches and buy internet trolls, and charging into the comment section with their own fans. When we announced the casting on Weibo, there were comments like "Looking forward to Lin Jia" and "Looking forward to Ma Lou", which gave passers-by and other netizens a very bad impression.

Moreover, Lin Jia and Meng Xi also dragged down Yan Gou'er and Wen Lian who are under my command.

I am angry but dare not speak out.

Then comes the startup phase.

At that time, some netizens had already questioned whether the four of them had brought money into the crew. Reporters also asked relevant questions, but they replied that they had gone through a formal interview and selection process and were finally selected after layers of screening.

He also claimed that I highly approve of their acting skills!

But I never said such a thing. They never came for the audition and I never saw them act. I really had no idea what kind of acting they could do.

The final stage is the shooting.

This phase is the biggest nightmare.

Let’s not talk about their acting skills for now. Actually, at this point, I still had a glimmer of hope and thought that if they performed well, I could still give them the role. But I was still naive. I didn’t know why they were veteran actors who had been in the industry for three or four years, or even almost ten years, and could still act like this, without any sign of having learned any acting skills.

Finally, let’s talk about what they did in the crew.

First, there was Meng Xi. When we were taking the start-up photo, she deliberately got close to me, then took a screenshot of the photo and started hyping up a scandal between her and me on the Internet. This incident caused a big stir on the Internet at the time, and everyone should still remember it.

Later, she arranged for her agent to take photos of her and me countless times, but I noticed it every time.

Actually, I know Meng Xi looks down on me a little.

This was caused by a series of events that happened later. Because I was desperate about the four of them, I allowed them to come to me with fake scripts to add more scenes, and I accepted all their requests. They were all fake anyway. But Meng Xi didn't know that. She thought I was a spineless person who was only worthy of licking the boots of someone like her who had the ability and background. I would never be able to fit into her circle and was not the same type of person as her.

Meng Xi thought she concealed it well, but in fact her acting skills were not good at all and the contempt in her eyes was obvious.

So, she tried her best to find opportunities to create scandals with me, while at the same time she couldn't hide her contempt for me. She did this from the start to the end of filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1". I just pretended to be stupid and didn't know.

As for Lin Jia, I don't know if she is used to being humble in front of Mr. You, so she has a strong revengeful mentality and a strong sense of hierarchy. She acts like a big shot on the set, scolding the makeup artist when her makeup is not good, deliberately stealing the show when acting with other actors, and often complaining that the props are not real enough and the costumes are not gorgeous enough.

Moreover, she often scolded and belittled other actors' acting skills and snatched their roles.

I have never met an actor or a woman on a set who didn't hate her.

There are also Ma Lou and Lai Yiwei. Their acting skills are really bad, but they don’t know it yet. They keep asking me to change the script, asking for more scenes, and putting pressure on me by using the people behind them.

In their eyes, what is Cheng Cheng? What is the integrity of the script? They are not as important as their own roles.

If possible, they even hope that a drama will have 32 episodes, minutes, all of which will be their one-man show.

In the end, the scenes they requested for added more than the number one male lead I had. In the photos of the wrap-up ceremony, Yan Gou'er, Wen Lian, and I gave up the C position to the four of them.

Because judging by the roles on paper, they are the male lead, male second, and female lead, female second.

Let’s talk about Lai Yiwei. Many fans who like him think that he is an innocent boy, but you are wrong. In fact, he accepts everyone and harasses actresses in various ways on the set.

At first, he had his eyes on Yan Gou'er, but Yan Gou'er didn't give him any chance, so he began to change his target and look for other actresses. In the end, he actually succeeded in getting one, Bai Xiao.

Seeing this, Bai Xiao, you should be surprised, right?

You are an actor under my company. At the company meeting at the beginning of the year, I said: The company does not forbid dating, but you must report to the company first. You were with Lai Yiwei at the time. Did you report to the company?

Why didn't I stop Lai Yiwei at that time?
I just wanted to see which actress in our company would be able to resist the temptation, but I didn't expect it to be you. In fact, I am quite optimistic about you. You may not become the second Yan Gou'er, but you definitely have the chance to become the second Lin Yin.

After the filming of "Those Years" started, you have been complaining that the company did not give you a chance and did not allow you to participate.

But why didn't I let you participate? Do you know why now? Because I had already given up on you, and I kept you just to expose you when I posted this Weibo.

Also, I heard that you and Lai Yiwei broke up after being together for more than half a month?
So, why bother?
When you see this Weibo, you should automatically apply to the company to terminate the contract and resign. The company will not compensate you a penny. You can sue me and the company, and I will take it. The company does not need actors like you. Actors like you cannot keep the bottom line. Sooner or later, the house will collapse. It is better to step on it early than to collapse it later.

Okay, that’s all the description of the matter.

In a word, it’s not that I didn’t give them four chances, but that the chances were useless to them. They kept getting more and more unreasonable and did whatever they wanted. In order to ensure the quality of the work and to be responsible to the audience, I couldn’t give them a chance.

Do you think I did something wrong?

Yes, I did do it wrong!
I did something wrong, and I feel sorry for the four actors who acted with me. Their efforts were also in vain.

I did something wrong. I feel sorry for the crew members. I increased their workload, shot some useless shots, and set up some useless scenes.

I did something wrong. I feel sorry for my actors, Yan Gou'er, Wen Lian, Chen Ce and Zhu Xing. I allowed the four of them to misbehave on the set, which made them angry, aggrieved, harassed and insulted.

I was wrong. I feel sorry for my audience. In order to pretend to film with them, I spent one-third more time during the shooting process, causing "Chinese Paladin 1" to be released about a week late.

I made a mistake, and I'm sorry
However, I have not let down these four, their backers, or the domestic film and television market.

Going against conscience, ignoring acting skills, and being forced by authority to put these four into the feature film is irresponsible to the film and television market, it is tacitly accepting the trend of bad money driving out good money, and it is the driving force behind the collapse of domestic entertainment!

If this continues, outstanding actors will not get the opportunity to come to the fore, while actors with backgrounds and backers will be able to easily obtain resources and opportunities.

This injustice not only suppresses truly talented actors, but also hinders the healthy development of the industry. When power and capital become the only criteria for casting, originally promising and excellent actors may go astray in their quest to cling to power, and when they grow up, they will become the guardians of this distorted rule.

This endless vicious cycle will plunge the domestic entertainment industry into a dark and everlasting state, into a dark and degenerate state where desire and evil breed.

It not only corrodes the foundation of the industry, but will also cause our film and television market to lose the trust and support of the audience and eventually decline.

Audiences are the cornerstone of the film and television market. They are eager to see real and profound works, rather than false prosperity manipulated by capital and power.

What is more serious is that this vicious cycle will make our film and television market lose competitiveness internationally and fail to achieve effective cultural output. The unique charm and depth of Tianxia culture will be buried, and our precious cultural heritage will also suffer a major blow. This is not only a betrayal to ourselves, but also an irresponsibility to future generations, to the nation, to Guo Jia, and to the world.

And now, there are already signs of this.

You Qing, the son of the richest man, is a top financier in the film and television industry.

Weng Ruzhong, leader of Tianying, is a backbone of the downstream film and television industry.

Qian Zan, vice president of Feiteng Video, is the person who holds real power in the midstream platform of the film and television industry.

Wu Hai, director of Jiangnan TV Station, is a transit station for the film and television industry, integrating the upstream, midstream and downstream of the film and television industry.

There are problems in the upstream, midstream and downstream. Doesn’t this explain the situation?

If they are all the guardians of such twisted rules, can domestic entertainment still be good?
In short, I won't tolerate such behavior. The son of the richest man? I'm not afraid! The leader of Tianying? I'm not afraid! The vice president of the video platform? I'm not afraid! The director of the TV station? I'm not afraid!
Fairness and justice are on my side, and history is on my side!
You Qing, Weng Ruzhong, Qian Zan, Wu Hai!
You can come and kill me, slander me, spread rumors, frame me, dig up my dark history, and find killers offline, you can use any tricks you want. I have already given it my all because I dare to post this Weibo today.

"Since ancient times, everyone has to die. Let me leave my loyalty to shine in history!"

The nuclear bomb is coming!

As soon as Cheng Cheng posted this Weibo, the entire Chinese Internet exploded!
Blow through!

It was completely blown up!

In this Weibo post, Cheng Cheng not only named You Qing, Weng Ruzhong, Qian Zan and Wu Hai, but also used his skill of exaggerating things to the extreme.

At the beginning, when Cheng Cheng blasted Lu Zhuofeng in the live broadcast room, this skill had already begun to emerge. Now, Cheng Cheng uses it to perfection.

Do you dare to go against me? Do you dare to refute me?
If you refute me, you are hindering the healthy development of the industry! You are the guardian of the distorted rules! You are the sinner of Tianxia culture output! You are irresponsible to future generations! You are the sinner of the entire M race!

Who can withstand so many hats being put on?

Weng Ruzhong can't bear it!

Qian Zan can’t bear it!
Wu Hai couldn't bear it either!

No one can withstand it!
And at the end, Cheng Cheng also added a line from an ancient poem: Since ancient times, everyone has to die, but I will leave my loyalty to shine in history!
This is the poem written by Wen Tianxiang when the Yuan army marshal detained Wen Tianxiang on a boat, passed through Lingdingyang, and besieged Yashan!

Judging from the situation at the time, the Yuan army marshal repeatedly forced Wen Tianxiang to write a letter to persuade Zhang Shijie and others to surrender. Failure to agree to his request would mean death!

However, Wen Tianxiang still verbally rejected the Yuan army marshal and wrote this poem to express his determination before his death!
From then on, the two lines of poetry, "Since ancient times, everyone is mortal, but I will leave my loyalty to shine in the history," will shine through the ages. They are heroic and brilliant, and will be forever recorded in the page of Chinese cultural history, inspiring countless patriots in later generations to bravely sacrifice themselves for the cause of justice!
At this time, if Cheng Cheng uses it here, the destructive power is infinite!

The comment section was boiling with excitement!

"Since ancient times, everyone has to die, but I will leave my loyalty to shine in history! Fuck you! This poem is absolutely amazing!!!"

“Awesome!!!”

“Ahhhhhhh! Start the war! Start the war!!! Kill these four guys, Ma Lou, Lai Yiwei, Lin Jia, and Meng Xi, as well as the four backers behind them. Kill them all!”

"According to your order, fight against the thieves!!!"

"@Youqing, you fucking die! I thought you were feeling very wronged when you posted so many Weibo posts, but it turns out you were the bad guy who complained first!"

"My blood is boiling, family members!!!"

"Frog Army! Assemble!!"

"I'm going to rush my family first. Just reading Brother Frog's description makes me feel sick. Lai Yiwei, this bastard, dares to harass my little Gou'er. If you don't die, who will die?!"

"@Tianying@Feiteng Video@You Haigao@Jiangnan TV@Tianxia Broadcasting and Television General Office@Tianxia Filmmakers Association! See? Should we take care of these troublemakers?"

"Follow Brother Frog!"

“The borer of the industry!”

"There is no one in Neiyu who is afraid of Brother Frog anymore!"

"Starting today, boycott Ma Lou, Lai Yiwei, Lin Jia, and Meng Xi! If Tianying, Feiteng Video, and Jiangnan TV don't respond, I will also boycott Tianying, Feiteng Video, and Jiangnan TV!"

"Ma Lou, Lai Yiwei, Lin Jia, Meng Xi, get out of the entertainment industry!"

"I suggest banning him immediately! It's so scary! Meng Xi still dares to look down on my Brother Frog! Is she worthy?!"

"The biggest joke of the year: Meng Xi doesn't like Cheng Cheng?"

"You have to be so f*cking unscrupulous, you have to name names! You can't be so f*cking secretive! Whoever hurts me, I will take bloody revenge! Whoever offends me, I will openly shout out and make you pay the most painful price! This is Frog Brother! This is Frog Brother! I f*cking like this kind of personality! So cool! Whoever offends me, die!"

"It's going to be a storm, @Lemon Video, protect "Chinese Paladin 1"!"

As a top star and top director, Cheng Cheng’s influence is enormous!

In addition, there is the character he has accumulated over the years: although his mental state is abnormal, he basically never tells lies; although he makes people feel scared, he always stands on the side of fairness and justice.

So when he spoke, the public stood on his side almost without any doubt and believed what he said.

The comment sections of Ma Lou, Lai Yiwei, Lin Jia, Meng Xi and others were directly flooded with angry netizens:

"Be smart and quit the entertainment industry!"

"Retreat +1"

"Disgusting, go to hell!"

"You guys added more scenes to the point where your roles surpass those of the main characters. Even if it's fake, you guys are really awesome! Don't you know your own weight?"

"Hooking up with actresses on the set, I'm not surprised at all that Lai Yiwei would do such a thing!"

"How dare you hype up a couple with Cheng Cheng and look down on him?"

"So it was you who delayed the release of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 for more than a week?"

"You are really something, bullying the young actors on the set!"

"I've always been curious about why you have such great resources even though your acting is so bad and your grades aren't good. It turns out that you're the director of Jiangnan TV Station!"

"Who told you to bully Cheng Cheng and Xiao Gou'er? You think having a background is great, and that you are superior to others, right? Let me tell you, Cheng Cheng also has a background! His background is us, the people!!!"

"After graduating from high school, they took a leave of absence from college, and have been filming movies all the time. People around them flatter them, and they can go to the promotion of new dramas if they want to, and not go if they don't want to. Do you think their quality will improve after staying in this environment for a long time?"

"These guys are really stupid. Cheng Cheng didn't intend to let them act from the beginning. It's just that they didn't seize the opportunity! They didn't participate in the audition, added scenes, changed the script, stole the show, and bullied the actors. The buffs are completely stacked!"

"Nowadays, the entertainment industry is full of hooligans and gangsters! Do you expect them to be smart? Guo Jia, please take action to clean up the entertainment industry. They occupy public resources all day long. I am really disgusted! I have seen enough of them and the bad things they spread!"

"It is our honor to have people like Frog Brother in the entertainment industry, but it is our sorrow to have people like these four!"

“@张晖饮, come and terminate the contract immediately!”

"From today on, boycott every drama, every variety show, and every product endorsed by these four people!"

Because the incident had such a wide impact and affected such a huge area, all the major regular media outlets also intervened:

Jinhua News Agency Client: [After You Qing's attack, Cheng Cheng officially responded, saying that recruiting Lin Jia and the other four into the team was a helpless move, and revealed the names of the four people, including the director of Jiangnan Satellite TV and the vice president of Feiteng Video! ]

Daily Entertainment News: [Cheng Cheng reveals shocking inside stories again! He criticizes You Qing and others as M-tribe sinners, and the domestic entertainment industry may face an earthquake! ]

Good news: [Breaking news! | Cheng Cheng posted on Weibo, recreating the ancient quatrain: Everyone has to die since ancient times, but I will leave my loyalty to shine in history! !]

Northern Evening News: [The collision between the son of the richest man and the top star! The director of Jiangnan TV is involved! ]

New Media Metropolis Daily: [Power-for-sex transactions in the entertainment industry have become a disaster, Cheng Cheng has gone crazy and taken action to rectify it! ]

This wave of popularity came fast and fiercely! And it quickly swept the entire entertainment industry! The entire entertainment industry, big and small stars, big and small directors, big and small screenwriters, big and small brokerage companies, as well as those TV station directors, sponsors, and leaders... are all paying attention and eating melons!
-

Film queen Bai Bei looked at her phone with a smile on her face:
"interesting."

-

Lu Zhuofeng saw it and shouted:
"Fuck, so ruthless!"

The director of a TV station, the vice president of Feiteng Video, the leader of Tianying, the son of the richest man, Cheng Cheng dared to mess with them! Too fierce!
Lu Zhuofeng has already started to feel lucky that he has reconciled with Cheng Cheng!
This is crazy!!!

-

After seeing this Weibo post, Weng Ruzhong, Qian Zan and Wu Hai were so shocked and angry that their whole bodies were shaking!
He, he, he!

How dare he!

How dare he tell them his real name!

Is he crazy?
At this moment, they felt like they were stripped naked and thrown into the open in broad daylight!

In the past, they were always hidden behind the scenes, issuing instructions one after another, and then watching things get done. They didn't need to show up at all. At most, they would make a phone call and their subordinates would help them do it.

They enjoy the feeling of being in control!
This is the delicious taste of power~
But now, they suddenly felt panic, as if countless people in the world were talking about them and looking at them, and their bodies wrapped in layers of power were peeled off!
Their advantage is gone!

They became one of the judges!
Wu Hai was angry!
Qian Zan is angry!
Weng Ruzhong was terrified!
As soon as these words were uttered, "Everyone is mortal since ancient times, but I will leave my loyalty to shine in history", they would probably be nailed to history's pillar of shame!

You Qing was more open-minded, because he was a scoundrel who didn't care about face and reputation at all. However, Cheng Cheng's logic was strict and his writing was smooth, so he couldn't find an angle to refute it, which made him feel very troubled.
If the four of them felt threatened, then Ma Lou, Lai Yiwei, Lin Jia and Meng Xi felt precarious and trembling with fear!

Facing angry netizens, they were like a leaf in a rainstorm, beaten by the rain and blown away by the wind. They truly realized that if this matter was not handled well, they might really not be able to stay in the entertainment industry!

Poor them, they were so angry that Cheng Cheng lied to them, and they can’t appear in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1"!

As a result, turning around, not being able to appear in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" was no longer a small matter. A bigger crisis enveloped them. As soon as Cheng Cheng's Weibo came out, they were pushed to the cusp of the storm and became the bad representatives of having backstage connections and backgrounds but no acting skills, hindering the development of the film and television industry!
Do you think they regret it now?
You will definitely regret it!

Regret so much!

They regretted having to act in Cheng Cheng's play, regretted provoking Cheng Cheng, regretted being hated by Cheng Cheng, regretted not taking Cheng Cheng's mental illness seriously, regretted being arrogant and domineering after joining the crew, regretted thinking they could do whatever they wanted as long as they had a backer, and regretted every step that narrowed their own path!
Actually, you can figure it out if you think about it!

Cheng Cheng is a lawless psychopath!
Who would he be afraid of? He is afraid of no one!
Wouldn't it be courting death if I provoke him?

But there is no regret medicine in the world, and it is too late to realize it now! I can only try my best to find a way to save the situation. If I can refute the attack and pass the level without injury, it would be the best. Even if I can't, I have to ensure the lowest bottom line, that is, I can still stay in the entertainment industry!
It’s easy to make money in the entertainment industry. As long as you can stay in the entertainment industry, even if you are classified as a third-tier star, you can still make money. It’s much better than those working people who sell the surplus value of their labor!
So, I would rather die in the entertainment industry.

They all thought of ways and discussed countermeasures with their backers.

However, Ma Lou found that the call was not going through.

Because Weng Ruzhong has been "summoned" by Tianying's top leader!

The matter has been exposed to the real upper level.

Directly reach the sky!
