Chapter 67 I have never seen anyone ban me

The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room was still scrolling wildly, with all kinds of voices emerging one after another.

There were those who just wanted to watch the fun and make a lot of noise; there were those who had long disliked Lu Zhuofeng and thought that Cheng Cheng's evaluation was correct; there were also those who criticized him, thinking that he was disrespectful to his predecessors and was too arrogant.

On the stage, Cheng Cheng was not affected at all. He still maintained a calm expression and said:
“Lü Zhuofeng has some personal grudges with me, and also with Wen Lian. Simply put, he pissed me off.

But these are all things without evidence, so it is inconvenient to talk about them publicly. Because I have also encountered fabricated rumors and slander, I don’t want to make a fuss about these things without evidence.”

"Then let's talk about the obvious things. Back then, Wen Lian and he were on the same show. Because Wen Lian didn't agree with his evaluation and was a little disrespectful to him, he threatened to ban Wen Lian to the circle and even made her disappear from the show. Everyone knows about this, right? I didn't make this up, did I?"

The comments rolled like a tide:
[Ah, that’s true]

[Yes! I felt that this old man was crazy at that time! ]

[This is true. It was all over the place back then. In recent years, Wen Lian has had very poor resources because she was banned by Lu Zhuofeng]

[I remember that Wen Lian was attacked by the whole network at that time, saying that she was arrogant and disrespectful to her seniors! ]

【Wen Lian was miserable during that time. She had almost no work and was blacklisted by the entire Internet! 】

[I support Cheng Cheng this time. Lu Zhuofeng really went too far! ]

[But then again, is Cheng Cheng openly provoking Lu Zhuofeng? Isn't he afraid of retaliation? ]

Wen Lian looked at Cheng Cheng with disbelief. She didn't expect that Cheng Cheng was standing up for her.

After All or Nothing became popular, Wen Lian had nightmares many times in the middle of the night and thought that All or Nothing was just a dream of hers. After waking up, she was still that nameless figure in the entertainment industry.

Those days of ban have left an indelible shadow in her heart to this day.

The ban on Lu Zhuofeng was not a sudden execution, but a slow death sentence for her career.

She seemed to be pushed into a bottomless abyss, surrounded by endless darkness and ridicule. Every time she tried to find a new opportunity to appear on camera, it was like she hit an invisible wall.

Once familiar partners all kept their distance, fearing that they would be affected; once good friends in the circle also kept their distance and stopped contacting them.

The malicious comments on the Internet poured in like a tide, and each one was like a sharp knife, stabbing into her heart, pulling out with blood, and stabbing in again.

She tried to stay optimistic and attempted to enrich herself with work, but found that even the most basic job opportunities were deprived her.

During that time, she was almost in despair. Every day when she woke up, she was filled with endless confusion and regret. She didn't know where her future was, and she regretted whether her choice was too ignorant and impulsive.

That person is Lu Zhuofeng! He has rich experience and extensive connections. Almost no one dares to challenge his position easily.

His name is synonymous with authority and status in the entertainment industry. He has long surpassed the scope of an ordinary artist and has become an unshakable existence.

For many newcomers to the industry, he is almost an unattainable goal, someone they can only look up to.

She asked herself every day, did she do something wrong? Should she obey him?

Yan Gou'er noticed that Wen Lian looked strange and reached out to hug her.

Cheng Cheng continued, "How old was Wen Lian at the time? She was only 22, still a college student! How old was Lu Zhuofeng at the time? He was already in his seventies or eighties! He was already old enough to be Wen Lian's grandfather! How sensitive is this person to ban her because of a wrong remark made by a junior? How narrow-minded? How petty? I sincerely ask, hasn't he lived in vain all these years?"

Barrage:

[That’s right, Lu Zhuofeng is really disrespectful to his elders and bullies others by relying on his status]

[Lv Zhuofeng is famous for having a heart smaller than a needle eye]

[Cheng Cheng is so brave]

[Support Brother Frog for starting a righteous group!!!]

[After hearing what Brother Frog said, I also think that Lu Zhuofeng went a little too far]

[In fact, Wen Lian did nothing wrong back then, right? Lu Zhuofeng's comments were a bit nitpicking, and there was nothing wrong with Wen Lian's performance.]

"What gave Lu Zhuofeng the courage to do this? It's because he's been accustomed to bullying over the years! He thinks that no one in the entertainment industry should disobey him, and no one should dare to disobey him! This kind of hegemonic thinking is simply ridiculous!"

[Lv Zhuofeng is really a domineering CEO. Who does he think he is? ]

[That’s right, the entertainment industry is not owned by his family, so why should he do whatever he wants? ]

[Lv Zhuofeng is just an old stubborn person! ]

Cheng Cheng continued, "There are academic tycoons in the academic world, and chaebols in the business world. I think Lu Zhuofeng is the entertainment tycoon and the film tycoon in the entertainment industry! He controls the discourse power in the entertainment industry, and makes everything proceed according to his will, and willfully molds the entertainment industry into what he wants! This hegemonic behavior is not only a suppression of Wen Lian, but also a destruction of the entire industry!"

"More!" Cheng Cheng was even more passionate. He seemed to be questioning, "Who gave Lv Zhuofeng the power to ban others? Isn't the power to ban in the hands of the government? Can I think that Lv Zhuofeng overstepped his authority and used the power that did not belong to him? Who does he think he is? Did he take the government into consideration when he used the power to ban?"

Cheng Cheng's words shocked the entire place into silence, and the comments in the live broadcast room froze for a moment.

Cheng Cheng's words were too cruel! They were too murderous! He simply wanted to kill Lu Zhuofeng!
And Cheng Cheng indeed thought so!
Since Lu Zhuofeng put his film "All or Nothing" on the National Day schedule, the two of them became enemies.

He just wanted to kill Lu Zhuofeng!

Damn it, Lu Zhuofeng, you are a piece of shit! How dare you bully me like this!
I'm not like Wen Lian, nor am I like the average person who dares not resist after being bullied, suppressed, humiliated, and destroyed by you!

If you dare to touch me, I will roll up my sleeves and beat you!

I don't care about hypocrisy or the rules of the circle!
I didn’t take revenge then because “All or Nothing” was being released online and I was too busy to do it. Now that I’ve won the votes, you’d better wash your neck and wait for death!
[Cheng Cheng is so awesome! He hit Lu Zhuofeng in the face! ]

[Lv Zhuofeng has really run into trouble this time. Why did you have to pick on a psychopath when you could have picked on anyone else? This is going to be hard to end!]

[Cheng Cheng’s firepower is too strong]

[Worrying for Lu Zhuofeng]

A hint of satisfaction flashed across Wen Lian's eyes.

There was a flash of indignation in the eyes of Yan Gou'er, Li Yang and Beret.

Although "All or Nothing" accidentally won the box office championship during the National Day holiday, it does not mean that they really don't hate Lu Zhuofeng anymore. On the contrary, they hate him very much because Lu Zhuofeng almost ruined their hopes.

No, or rather, if it weren’t for Cheng Cheng, Lu Zhuofeng would have destroyed their hopes.

It's just that they didn't dare to show it.

They are not Cheng Cheng and dare not fall out with Lu Zhuofeng.

Cheng Cheng continued, "Lv Zhuofeng's behavior is simply outrageous. The entertainment industry should be a place of fair competition, and young people need to be given opportunities. Wasn't Lu Zhuofeng also a young man? When he was young, he was talented and a young man with dreams. He also longed for fair opportunities and suffered a lot! But when he got old, he inevitably fell into the vortex of power, forgot his original intention, became overbearing and selfish, and used the power in his hands to suppress newcomers and ban dissidents, turning the entertainment industry into a smoky place. So I said he died too late, the dragon-slaying boy eventually became a dragon! If he had died fifteen years ago, he would have been an insurmountable monument in the history of Tianxia's domestic entertainment, but now, he has become a decadent force in the entertainment industry! He should be swept away!"

[I have long been fed up with Lu Zhuofeng]

[Yes, we can’t let him continue to cause trouble to the entertainment industry! ]

[Lv Zhuofeng has a lot of negative information in recent years]

[I don’t know if it’s true that Lu Zhuofeng has a harem. If it’s true, it’s really disgusting]

【pretty close】

[The boy who slays the dragon eventually becomes the evil dragon! Well said! ]

[Is the war going to start again? Frog Brother?] [You make my blood boil, my family!]

[Let’s start the fight!!! My sword is thirsty for fire! ]

"So, now I've made up my mind!" Cheng Cheng said firmly.

"What decision?" The host who was pretending to be dead moved and subconsciously took over the conversation, but he regretted it in an instant. He wanted to slap himself and cursed in his heart: Why do I talk so much!

Cheng Cheng's eyes turned cold, and he said word by word: "I have decided to ban Lu Zhuofeng!"

The atmosphere at the scene froze instantly, as if even the air had stopped flowing.

The guests in the audience looked at each other in bewilderment, and the host looked stunned, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

Yan Gou'er, Li Yang, Qi Hao and others were also somewhat confused:
Director Cheng’s developments always catch them off guard!

Only Wen Lian was lucky because Cheng Cheng had already told her this once.

On the live broadcast room's bullet screen, a striking message popped up: [Ah? ]

This word is simple, but it accurately expresses everyone's surprise and confusion. Lu Zhuofeng is a giant in the entertainment industry with huge influence. Cheng Cheng actually dared to say that he wanted to ban him. This is simply like a fairy tale.

The question is, why do you ban him?

Is it because of your newfound fame? Or because of the box office-winning film All or Nothing?
But even if you temporarily surpass Lu Zhuofeng, it doesn't mean anything. You know, Lu Zhuofeng has won the vote championship countless times!
Are you really not kidding?
Cheng Cheng ignored everyone's surprise and said:
"I don't want to play dirty tricks with Lu Zhuofeng. He knows how he dealt with me before!

I am not trying to hit myself in the face. I criticized his ban and then followed suit by banning his own behavior.

I won’t be like him. I will ban him openly! From now on, every time he releases a movie, I will release a movie to sniper him and make sure he never wins the box office championship! Besides that—"

Cheng Cheng took out a folded paper from his trouser pocket, unfolded it and said:

"The banned list also includes Xianghua Entertainment, Fanghua Beauty, Yazhi Cosmetics, and Kunshan Beer. From now on, I will not participate in any movies, TV series, or variety shows invested by those on the list, and I will not accept any cooperation! I will not accept any settlement!"

I fainted at the scene!

Damn it, are you trying to ban Lu Zhuofeng or yourself?
Do you know how many of the current national variety shows are invested by them?
Aren't you blocking your own way?
The barrage was also dizzy:
[Cheng Cheng is too impulsive. This will only put him in trouble, right? ]

[The first time I saw someone ban me]

[No, the impassioned speech you made earlier was just for this?]

[I lost. I really can’t understand the mindset of a mentally ill person]

I allow you to rephrase.

[I actually watched the live broadcast of a mentally ill person so seriously! ]

[Drunk, will you stop appearing on variety shows in the future? 】

[The enemy almost fainted with laughter]

[I understand. Cheng Cheng wants to make the other person laugh to death! He uses this method to achieve his goal. How vicious!]

[Brother Frog, how about we continue the treatment for a while? ]

[Increase the dosage! ]

"Okay, I have finished answering this question. You can sit down." Cheng Cheng said to the guest who was still standing. The guest suddenly woke up as if from a dream. He had been in a state of shock since Cheng Cheng started talking and even forgot to sit down.

As soon as Cheng Cheng finished speaking, more guests stood up, as if they were afraid of missing this rare opportunity, and frantically asked Cheng Cheng questions:
"Cheng Cheng, do you really want to ban those people? Aren't you afraid of offending them?"

"Cheng Cheng, do you think you can succeed?"

"Cheng Cheng, don't you think it's stupid for you to do this?"

"Cheng Cheng, do you mean you will make a movie next?"

"Cheng Cheng, what movie shooting plans do you have now?"

Questions kept coming one after another. Cheng Cheng yawned and said, "I'm sleepy. I need to lie down for a while. Don't ask me anymore. Ask someone else."

The host quickly stood up and asked, "Director Cheng, do you want to go back and rest early?"

Although it was a bit against the rules, the host was relieved: Finally, this plague god was sent away! Although it was Cheng Cheng who angrily criticized Lu Zhuofeng, he was also afraid of being implicated.

"Ah?" Cheng Cheng responded with a puzzled expression and said frankly, "I'm not going back. I'll just lie here for a while."

As he spoke, under the gaze of everyone at the scene and in full view of tens of millions of netizens in the live broadcast room, Cheng Cheng stood up.

He first placed the pillow on the ground and adjusted it to a comfortable angle. Then, he took out an eye mask from his pocket and put it on skillfully to block out the light from the outside. Then, he folded his hands on his lower abdomen, completely relaxed his body, and lay on the ground.

Cheng Cheng's sleeping posture was straight, a standard one that could not be faulted at all, as if he was a well-trained soldier taking a rest.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little weird. The guests looked at each other, the backstage staff were in an uproar, and the host opened his mouth wide.

In the live broadcast room, the audience's comments were scrolling wildly:

【? ? ? 】

What is this operation?

[Is Cheng Cheng going to sleep? 】

[This is too much, sleeping in such an occasion? ]

【Performance Art!】

[I want to ask, why does he carry an eye patch with him? ! ! ]

[The host is already dumbfounded]

[At this moment, the host's professional level has been challenged unprecedentedly]

[Don't even mention the host, I'm already fucking dumbfounded! ]

[Host's expression: (ΩДΩ)]

[Is this the person who made "All or Nothing"? ]

[Lying on the ground, no one loves you; wearing a blindfold, just start posing]

[Enviable mental state]

[I am dying of laughter. This sleeping position is obviously normal. Why do I want to laugh so much?]

[This is really an old lady changing her posture. I can’t do it to you anymore.]

No matter how surprised and puzzled everyone was, Cheng Cheng seemed to have entered a world that belonged entirely to him. His breathing was even and gentle, as if he had really fallen asleep.
