Chapter 218 Even Monkey King needs help
"How Bad Movies Are Made" was originally written by Lin Yicheng. There was no original drama to refer to, so it took a lot of time to edit.

Fortunately, this is a feature film, there are no special effects, and most of the content is shot in sequence, so it is not too troublesome.

On August 8, Lin Yicheng, together with Ji Jie and Wang Liming, plunged into the editing room and began to work.

He hid in the small building and became a unified whole.

Outside, the bullets that had already flown out hit the people they were supposed to hit.

……

On August 8, the heads of two media outlets, Apple Daily and Oriental Sunday, were summoned for talks by the agencies stationed there.

Immediately afterwards, the two media outlets were suspended for rectification due to their vulgar content and the presence of harmful and false information.

All related newspapers, magazines and audio-visual products will be removed from the shelves.

Their respective websites have also been temporarily shut down.

Not only that, a luxurious legal team consisting of several well-known lawyers in Hong Kong Island, on behalf of Lin Yicheng, sued Apple Daily, Oriental Daily and a male model in court.

The legal team provided all the necessary evidence, including photos, recordings, etc., which were very conclusive.

The legal team demanded that the three parties compensate Lin Yicheng for mental damages, loss of reputation, etc. on the grounds of defamation, slander, and rumor-mongering, with the total amount being 10 million Hong Kong dollars!

At the same time, the legal team also asked the three defendants to publicly apologize to Lin Yicheng.

It is true that “nothing has changed in fifty years”, but I have been back home for ten years.

Do you really think you can disobey and get out of control?
For a while, the Hong Kong media was silent.

Once you are used to being the "throat of public opinion", it is easy to lose sight of yourself and feel that you can really strangle others by the throat at will.

They can slander and defame stars from Hong Kong, Taiwan or the mainland at will, and those people can't do anything about them and can only let them throw dirty water on them.

This time, they realized that Lin Yicheng was not just another star.

They wanted to reach out to Lin Yicheng, but it didn't work.

If you stretch out your claws recklessly, Lin Yicheng will strangle you!

No matter how unwilling or angry you are in your heart, you have to keep it to yourself.

Otherwise, Apple Daily and Oriental Daily will serve as a warning to them!

……

The Olympics are next year.

The Hong Kong media has been very active recently.

Not to mention following the Western media's lead in making sarcastic comments and questioning the Olympics.

Some even began to secretly oppose...

"I am lost in thought. What is this country like? I want to know the truth."

This set of tactics is not only used by "public intellectuals", but also by Hong Kong media, who use it even more skillfully.

And they constantly advocate Western "freedom", "democracy", "system", "superiority" and so on.

More disgusting than a clown.

The people above have long been displeased with them.

This time, we can just take advantage of the situation and kill the chicken to scare the monkey!
The effect is very good.

In an instant, the overall tone of Hong Kong media changed.

"Practicing civility", "setting a new trend", "promoting positive energy" and so on have become the main themes of Hong Kong media.

A bunch of people who only care about eating and not being beaten!
……

The mainland is not peaceful either.

The first one is Fang Zhouzi.

His blog account, personal forum, etc. were directly frozen and cancelled.

He was taken away directly by the relevant departments and was required to explain the relevant issues regarding overseas funds and the origins of his huge assets.

His wife was also suspended from her job and is under investigation.

His family members were also questioned and cooperated with the investigation.

This once prominent "anti-counterfeiting fighter" has completely fallen this time.

Those "anti-counterfeiting experts" who follow the trend and imitate others are also trembling with fear. They know clearly whether there is mud or shit in their crotches.

These people hurriedly deleted some of their own comments and articles, fearing that no one would pay attention to them or remember them again.

……

Galloping Pony, Li Ming’s office.

At this time, Big Dog no longer had the high spirits he had some time ago, and he looked a little haggard.

He had already heard some rumors that something might be wrong with his sworn brother.

Husbands and wives are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately.

What’s more, they are sworn brothers?

These days, he has been busy distancing himself from his sworn brother and dealing with some final matters, for fear that he would be implicated.

"What did Baring Asia say?" Li Ming's eyes were red and bloodshot, and his voice was extremely hoarse.

In his heart, he still held on to a glimmer of hope and fantasy.

"They unilaterally terminated the cooperation." Zhong Lifang lowered her head and said in a low voice.

"Where are those previous institutions?" Li Ming asked unwillingly.

When Pony.com was doing well, it wasn't just Baring Asia, a venture capital firm, that was interested in it.

"I asked, and they all said..." Zhong Lifang hesitated.

"What does it mean?" Li Ming asked hurriedly.

"It means he doesn't think highly of us." Zhong Lifang lowered her head even more.

She didn't dare let Li Ming see her panic.

"Haha, I'm not optimistic. I'm not optimistic." Li Ming sneered.

"Brother Gou, there is still a chance. Let's go find Sequoia, Hillhouse, ZhenFund, IDG... There are so many venture capital companies, there must be some that are optimistic about us."

Zhong Lifang herself didn't believe what she said.

"Fuck them! They are a bunch of people who only care about whoever feeds them and who act according to the situation!" Li Ming roared.

"Don't fucking let me get up, otherwise, they will be in trouble!"

……

"Jingle Bell……"

The phone on the desk rang.

Li Ming took a few deep breaths to calm himself down before picking up the microphone.

"Hello, I'm Li Ming..." Li Ming just opened his mouth and didn't say anything else.

Zhong Lifang looked up and saw that Li Ming's eyes suddenly widened, his breathing became rapid, and the hand holding the microphone was shaking slightly.

Soon, Li Ming's hands dropped weakly and the microphone fell on the desk.

"Bang" sound.

Li Ming's body fell onto the boss chair.

"Brother Gou, what's wrong?" Zhong Lifang asked.

"Brother Gou?" Seeing that Li Ming just had a lifeless look in his eyes, Zhong Lifang called out again.

"No, it's okay." Li Ming raised his head with difficulty and forced a smile.

He didn't know that in Zhong Lifang's eyes, his smile was uglier than crying.

"Lifang, please help me book a plane ticket. It's overseas. Anywhere is fine. I want the fastest flight."

"Brother Gou, you..." Zhong Lifang was interrupted as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Don't ask, just do it."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

After saying that, Zhong Lifang got up and left.

After leaving Li Ming's office, Zhong Lifang couldn't help but look back.

Brother Big Dog was indeed very kind to her and had respected and trusted her very much over the past few years.

She also wanted to live up to Big Dog Brother’s expectations and help him make Little Pony bigger and stronger.

But now...

Good birds choose trees to roost in.

Zhong Lifang is a smart person, she has understood
I'm afraid that the big tree like Xiao Ma is about to fall.

The trees fell and the hozens scattered.

So, what should she do?
Maybe, it's time to leave.

Maybe... a person's name emerged in Zhong Lifang's mind.

……

In the office, Li Ming was in a daze.

In the phone call just now, someone told him a piece of news.

Just this morning, a group of people from a certain TV station were either suspended or transferred.

What’s more, several middle and senior executives have been taken away by the J Committee, and they won’t be able to get out in the next few years.

And his sworn brother is one of them!

Li Ming picked up a cigar and put it in his mouth. He wanted to light it, but his hands did not obey him and he pressed the lighter several times but it did not light up.

"Snapped!"

Li Ming threw the lighter to the ground with force and crushed the cigar in his mouth.

"Lin Yicheng!"

Li Ming growled, his eyes red, like a wounded beast.

……

Entertainment is a circle, but it is also a sieve.

Some small movements can never be hidden from the prying eyes of those who are interested.

First it was the Hong Kong media, then Fang Zhouzi, and then a certain TV station and Pony.com.

Except for a certain video, all of these are participants and the main force of the "Down with Lin" operation!
Now, these people have encountered accidents one after another.

Do we need to guess who is behind this?

Many people felt frightened and felt cold all over.

too fast!
How many days have passed since the "Down with Lin" operation began?

Lin Yicheng not only resolved his own crisis, but also delivered a thundering blow.

How much energy and connections are needed?

……

A luxurious villa in Beijing.

This is the Peacock Princess’ cave, which Yu Dong bought for her.

The golden house hides the beauty.

"Okay, I got it." Fatty Yu put down his phone and tapped his knees with his fingers.

"Is there a problem?"

Peacock Princess walked out of the kitchen with a plate of fruit in her hand.

"Nothing, just some business matters."

Fatty Yu smiled, hugged Peacock Princess and let her sit on his lap.

"Tell me about it." Peacock Princess hugged Fatty Yu's neck and said coquettishly.

Fatty Yu glanced at her and said nothing.

He knew very well why the Peacock Princess cared about this.

……

Back then, he was just from an ordinary family. After graduating from Beijing Film Academy, he became the deputy section chief of Beijing Film Studio through hard work and scheming.

After going into the entertainment industry, he met his current wife, Zang Lilu.

My wife’s father is the general manager of Jinling Film Company.

It was through this relationship that he was able to rise to the top.

First, it obtained the first private distribution license in China, and then made Bona a well-known company in the film and television industry.

It is easy to share adversity, but difficult to share wealth.

What's more, his marriage is based on convenience?
The relationship between him and his wife had long since broken down.

At this time, the Peacock Princess happened to appear. Her beauty and grace deeply attracted Fatty Yu and made him fall into a whirlpool of emotions.

However, this Peacock Princess is not an easy person to deal with.

After establishing the relationship, he continued to extend his influence to Bona Company.

Fatty Yu certainly knew the reason behind this.

……

Seeing that Fatty Yu was unwilling to say anything, Peacock Princess snorted and got off his legs.

"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. I'm just an actress with long hair and little knowledge. How can I compare to her, a rich lady? Can I give you advice on everything?"

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, isn't that enough?"

Even a hero can be tempted by beautiful women, and Fatty Yu falls for it.

"Hmph, stop talking. I don't want to listen." Peacock Princess turned her head away and didn't look at him.

"Just now, it was..." Fatty Yu repeated what happened on the phone.

"Is he so powerful?" asked Peacock Princess in surprise.

"Oh, everyone in the circle underestimated this guy, thinking that he was a greenhorn, a young calf who was not afraid of tigers. As a result, Li Dagou got bitten hard this time."

"How is your relationship with him?" asked the Peacock Princess.

"We've only met a few times and chatted for a few sentences. Why are you asking this?" Fatty Yu narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought of something.

"What are you thinking about?" Peacock Princess immediately guessed Fatty Yu's thoughts and punched him.

"I don't like young people like this. How can they compare to you? You are considerate and caring."

"Haha." Fatty Yu did not comment.

"I mean, why don't you cooperate with him?" Peacock Princess said directly.

"Hmm?" Fatty Yu frowned.

"Cooperate with him? This guy is not someone you can cooperate with."

"You think so, and others should think so too. But look at it from another angle. Does he also want to find someone to cooperate with him, but is just having trouble speaking up because of your attitude?"

"Go on," Fatty Yu said.

"Look, he is fearless, doesn't he, just like Monkey King?" Peacock Princess picked up a cherry, stuffed it into Fatty Yu's mouth, and continued.

"Sun Wukong is very capable, right? But when he encounters problems, he still has to ask for help from others."

"He is from Beijing Film Academy, and you are also from Beijing Film Academy, so you are naturally close."

"He has connections, you have ability. He has theaters, you have distribution. Think about it, if you two work together, what will happen in the future?"

……

Fatty Yu was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was really possible?

What is Bona’s weakest point at the moment?
Since they cannot produce good works themselves, they can only act as distributors for Hong Kong films and earn distribution fees.

Although the distribution channels are mature and among the best in the country, the company does not have its own cinema chains, so it is not very confident when negotiating with the cinema chains.

In these areas, Lin Yicheng and his Galaxy Film and Television Company can complement Bona.

Fatty Yu thought about Lin Yicheng again.

Lin Yicheng always looks at people from Beijing Film Academy differently. You can see this from the people he employs.

Fatty Yu and Uncle Han were old colleagues, and he had also heard Uncle Han evaluate Lin Yicheng.

Lin Yicheng is very nostalgic.

Qingying helped him back then, and even now, he is still willing to take Qingying with him to eat meat and drink soup.

Today, Lin Yicheng is surrounded by enemies in the circle, but he also has no helpers.

China Film Corporation has a good relationship with him, but the nature of China Film Corporation determines that they can only be collaborators, not allies.

In this situation, if he extended an olive branch, Lin Yicheng might really grab it.

If Bona can become an ally of Lin Yicheng, it will be of great benefit to the development of both parties in the future. It will be a win-win situation!
However, the only issue that needs to be discussed is how to make Lin Yicheng accept his olive branch.

It doesn't seem too deliberate, yet it allows Lin Yicheng to feel his kindness.

This requires him to grasp the right measure and timing.

Seeing Fatty Yu deep in thought, Peacock Princess smiled triumphantly, picked up a cherry and put it in her mouth, it was so delicious and tempting.

A few words, just enough.

She knew Fatty Yu. Once he was moved, he would take action.

If Fatty Yu gets in touch with Lin Yicheng, his dependence on Zang Lilu and her family will be further reduced, and the rift between the couple will become even bigger.

When the time comes, she will blow some pillow talk and swing the hoe.

Then, the position of Bona’s boss lady belongs to her!
