Global Film Emperor

Chapter 467 All arguments are meaningless

"Oh, that doesn't surprise me."

After browsing the news, he was certain that this was the work of a group of extreme animal rights activists. No one else would do something so brainless. To express their dissatisfaction with "Exile," they smashed up the company? Sorry, it was precisely because of his dissatisfaction with these people that he wrote "Exile."

This isn't about tit-for-tat. Don't worry, he'll definitely get his revenge. You can try to make those who are unhappy with you suffer, but you can't resort to violence. Otherwise, while you can directly harm others with violence, others can also harm you with violence.

In this era, if you want to harm someone, you can only resort to trickery.

Before this, Mickey had already made plans. If he caught the culprit, he would definitely resort to violence to solve the problem, because countless thugs, drug addicts, and refugees were eager to help Mr. Mickey solve the problem that was bothering him, all Mickey needed to pay was a little bit of money.

This is just a small matter; it happens every day all over the world. It's normal to get hurt because of an argument, right? As long as you're not dead, it doesn't constitute a crime.

But now he has changed his mind. As long as his videos are not posted online, he will not take violent measures to retaliate, because that would only cause trouble. Using his brain to trick a bunch of idiots is not difficult if you have the brains and the ability.

"What are you going to do?"

Elena looked at him with concern, not hiding her feelings. After all, Mickey had known about these feelings for many years. These feelings were strange. It was true that Mickey was very rich, but it seemed to have nothing to do with money. Even when Mickey was at his lowest point, these feelings remained unchanged.

Even though he had a volatile temper, a dark and extreme personality, was an alcoholic and a gambler, and had a decadent private life, she was just like a patient with Stockholm syndrome. In her eyes, this scoundrel who was hated and despised by countless people had many flaws, but his talent could cover up all the unpleasantness.

If she's after money, she can get entangled with Mickey, but if it's out of affection, then Mickey is the worst choice in her life. Her father said this and tried to comfort her, but sometimes the definition of good and bad people is not clear, but rather very vague. Even the most wicked people may have done good things. Therefore, the evaluation of good and bad only exists in one-on-one interactions between individuals. Of course, this only applies to real life and not to the internet.

So her answer was, "He has never hurt me."

If Mickey Mouse's ex-girlfriend heard that he liked Mickey Mouse, she would probably call him an idiot. What normal woman would like him? So, when it comes to relationships, she has to admit that she seems to be abnormal.

You wouldn't call yourself a "simp." You can like someone for years, but you don't have to recklessly sacrifice yourself for them. Stay calm and just express your feelings of liking them. Don't give too much, and when it's time to back down, you can leave gracefully. As for whether they accept it or whether it will work out, there's no need to worry about it. After all, who doesn't enjoy the feeling of liking someone?
She didn't even want to actually have a relationship with Mickey, because that would definitely expose the flaws of the Mickey she liked. To put it another way, she just liked the feeling of liking him.

"So be it."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's make a bet: perhaps soon these extreme animal rights activists will treat 'Exile' as their bible. Do you believe it?"

"What do you say?"

Elena didn't believe it, and neither did the Mendeleev brothers, because they were prepared to be verbally abused and surrounded by these animal rights activists. They had actually anticipated this, but sorry, they really didn't care. If they gave up on what they wanted for fear of getting into trouble, then art could not be called art.

"Then we'll see."

Mickey smiled, completely relaxed, and sprawled on the soft sofa in the VIP lounge, drinking beverages and eating fruit. This almost made everyone think he really didn't care, unless he was constantly refreshing XXXhub on his phone.

Marshall quickly replied with a list of over twenty people. His influence wasn't that exaggerated, but if he could find even one of them, all twenty-odd people would be exposed.

That night, they were taken to the police station, and the police recovered all the lost items and made sure the other party had no backups, which put Mickey at ease. He found a lawyer and prepared to put them all in jail. Mickey would not be lenient on this point, even though some of them were minors.

Taking responsibility for one's mistakes is logically sound and there's nothing wrong with it.

Having completely resolved the major problem, I felt much more at ease. It was the middle of the night, and I was tired, so I closed my eyes to rest while waiting to board the plane. Meanwhile, the matter was gradually gaining traction on the internet.

How many animal rights activists are there in European countries? In fact, the number is far greater than the number of registered volunteers. It can even be said that the vast majority of them share the concept of animal protection, and many of those who agree with the concept of animal protection choose a vegetarian lifestyle.

Respect for life is absolutely not wrong, but forcing others to agree with and follow their lifestyle is a bit extreme. Usually, these people stand on a moral high ground to criticize carnivores, while carnivores usually regard them as crazy people with mental problems.

The war of words between the two sides began some time ago and has continued to this day. Gradually, the two sides have stopped arguing about differences in thought and instead engaged in verbal attacks with a hint of protecting one's own. If you insult someone who shares the same position as me, then I will insult you back to protect my partner who shares the same beliefs.

This is an abnormal phenomenon, but it is also a normal one, because protecting one's companions and eliminating those who are different is human nature, and it is manifested in every race and every group. Moreover, the standpoint of spiritual thinking is higher than the standpoint of skin color and region.

This is why whenever Black people are oppressed, white people also stand up to resist. There are examples of this in our own lives, such as the dispute between sweet and savory tofu pudding. Of course, this is just a joke between the two sides, but we do find a sense of identity in it and regard them as our companions.

Therefore, as soon as the news of Universal Brothers Studios being vandalized by animal rights activists was released, the first people to notice it were the animal rights activists. At first, the calm activists were able to speak objectively, saying that it was wrong to damage other people's property.

But soon, there are always some troublemakers who gather together, and after their thoughts intertwine, they become extreme and aggressive. At this point, their remarks are not pleasant. For example, they might say things like, "If you don't protect animals, you deserve to have your company destroyed." It seems that just because you and I have different stances, it becomes natural for me to cause you economic losses.

Gradually, all the animal rights activists stepped forward, and the cause and course of events were clarified. The cause was the criticism and smear campaign against animal protection associations by "Exile," which caused an uproar among these people.

Did they all see "Exile"? Only a few. What about the rest? Would they send money to their enemy? That afternoon, images boycotting "Exile" were created and went viral online.

The conflict spread to the social media accounts of all the creators of "Exile," and Lu Ze, as the male actor, was the first to be targeted. He was bombarded with insults without his knowledge.

Of course, there will also be dissenters who will voice their opinions and clash with the other side's thinking. The first to be affected are the fans of Mickey and Lu Ze.

Since the founding of Universal Brothers, although they haven't produced many works, each one is outstanding. Gradually, people have begun to shift their affection from the directors or actors themselves to supporting the film company.

A prime example is Marvel Studios. No matter which superhero becomes the protagonist and is brought to the big screen, fans are as excited as if it were New Year's Day, and are willing to take out their wallets and let Marvel pay for it.

Of course, Universal Brothers is not as popular as Marvel, after all, the company is still small and has fewer critically acclaimed movies, but it has already established a fan base.

As a producer of films with a predominantly gloomy style, Universal Brothers is actually quite popular among hardcore fans. In fact, fans have affectionately nicknamed it "Star Factory" because of the shooting star orbiting the Earth in the opening sequence of Universal Brothers' films. The two founders, Lu Ze and Mickey, are also referred to by fans as the Universal Twin Stars.

Who wouldn't be furious to learn that their favorite film company had been vandalized? It was afternoon in England, and countless Universal Brothers fans picked up their keyboards and clashed with animal protection societies. Some were caught in a dilemma, but as viewers who had seen "Exile," they knew that the film's meaning had been misinterpreted.

Ultimately, they chose to stand with Universal Brothers. Once they took a stand, their explanations and rebuttals were actually more extensive than those of other fans.

Just then, a fan who had just come out of the movie theater posted a comment, which surprised Universal Brothers fans, who were filled with mixed feelings.

Has "Exile" ever played out in real life?

This comment caused many people to lose interest in continuing the online argument, because at this moment, they were no longer arguing with a person, but with the movie itself, and the confrontation between them had become meaningless.

Inspired by this, an artist quickly created a cartoonish Q-version drawing. On one side of a street, there are cats, dogs, lions, elephants, and giraffes dressed in white, holding signs that read: "Please protect animals."

On the other side of the street, there were large screens, without hands or feet, standing upright on the street, displaying the words: "Respect the property of others."

This will be a famous painting, at least in the future, and for now it has quelled the anger of movie fans, silenced them, and turned the personal social media accounts of Universal Brothers and Mickey Mouse into a paradise for animal rights activists.
