Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 258 Openly Criticizing Tianmen Entertainment!
The atmosphere became less tense and began to ease.

Afterwards, other reporters asked some questions. Although they weren't as bold as Jin Xing, everyone answered them easily.

An hour later, the press conference came to a successful conclusion.

Everyone was in a good mood. The film crew successfully promoted the movie, and the media reporters also obtained a wealth of material.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Zhou Yang suddenly picked up the microphone and walked to the front of the stage. Everyone stopped and looked at him curiously.

"What I'm about to say has nothing to do with the 'Project Gutenberg' production team."

Zhou Yang's words confused everyone.
This is the press conference for "Project Gutenberg". Shouldn't the things said be related to the movie?
Zhou Yang looked around and said loudly, "Tianmen Entertainment has violated Fatty Di's contract, forcing her to sign a ten-year slave contract with them, with a penalty of up to one billion yuan. This is a serious breach of contract. To protest Tianmen Entertainment's robbery, I have decided to pay a penalty of thirty million yuan to redeem Fatty Di's freedom!"

A strong condemnation of Tianmen Entertainment!

The reporters were stunned and shocked by Zhou Yang's actions.

Even more surprisingly, he personally paid the ransom and rescued Fatty Di.

Not 300,000, not 3 million, but a full 30 million!

"Every word I just said is true and valid. If there is any falsehood, I am willing to bear legal responsibility." After saying this, Zhou Yang resolutely turned and left.

The reporters, finally realizing what had happened, rushed to their phones to publish the news, each wanting to be the first to post this bombshell online.

Zhou Yang went straight backstage, and Jin Xing walked right up to him, gave him a thumbs up, and said apologetically, "I didn't expect you to be such a real man! I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before, and I apologize to you."

Zhou Yang shook his head: "Sister Jin, I don't blame you. It's normal to have misunderstandings because it's hard to distinguish between true and false information on the internet."

After listening, Jin Xing admired Zhou Yang even more.

In the entertainment industry, people with such loyalty and compassion are extremely rare.

The crew members also praised Zhou Yang's words on stage, expressing their admiration for his courage.

Fat Di has always been by Zhou Yang's side, and now, Zhou Yang is her support and reliance.

At the same time, this bombshell news quickly made headlines on major websites.

"Today's Headline: Shocking News! Zhou Yang Denounces the Shady Practices of Tianmen Entertainment!"

Sohu Entertainment: Zhou Yang stands up for Dilraba Dilmurat, fiercely criticizing Tianmen Entertainment!

"Top trending topic on Weibo: Exposed! Zhou Yang reveals the ugly side of Tianmen Entertainment!"

UC Browser: Shocking! Popular young idol Zhou Yang publicly criticizes again!

"..."

Someone uploaded a video of Zhou Yang's remarks to Weibo, and it quickly spread across the entire internet.

Netizens who saw the video were furious. Despite still being under contract, Dilraba was forced to sign another ten-year contract with a penalty of 200 million yuan for breach of contract. Isn't this just like a contract of servitude?
Angry users quickly flooded the comment section of Tianmen Entertainment's official Weibo account.

"Have you no shame! Dilraba has brought you huge profits, and you still forced her to sign a slave contract!"

"You guys are absolutely heartless! We were on your side when Zhou Yang and Dilraba were rumored to be dating, but you've gone too far!"

"What a disgusting company! Declare bankruptcy immediately!"

"I will never watch any of the movies or TV series produced by artists under Tianmen Entertainment again!" "..."

However, Tianmen Entertainment was not weak and easily bullied, and quickly responded by issuing a statement on its official Weibo account.

Tianmen Entertainment's statement: The videos circulating online featuring a certain popular young male celebrity are all malicious slander and retaliation against our company; everyone knows this...

"As for our artist, Dilraba, the company has never forced her to sign a new contract. She is, and will continue to be, an artist of Tianmen Entertainment. Zhou is maliciously defaming Tianmen Entertainment, and we will take legal action to send lawyer's letters to the unscrupulous artist Zhou and the media outlets that are maliciously defaming our company..."

This statement successfully portrayed Tianmen Entertainment as a victim and Zhou Yang as a malicious actor seeking revenge against the company.

At the same time, they directly denied forcing Dilraba to sign a slave contract, shifting the focus of the issue to Dilraba, thus making Zhou Yang's accusations wrong from the start.

In addition, the signed stars under Tianmen Entertainment also forwarded the statement to express their support.

"#Cai Xu: Tianmen Entertainment is like our parent, caring for each child with all its heart. It would never force us to sign any exploitative contracts, because we are all members of this big family. I hope those unfilial children will suffer the consequences of their own actions."

"#TaoTao: Tianmen Entertainment is a great company, and I'm really saddened that it's being attacked. It's truly a warm home here."

"#Haitao: Chairman Liu is like my own father. Every year during Chinese New Year, I kneel and bow to him. I really don't understand why anyone would slander him!"

"#Zhang Xiaoxiao: Oh my! I really don't understand, how can people attacking Tianmen Entertainment exist? Are we all blind?"

"..."

This is a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate loyalty; everyone is eager to gain company recognition and access to more resources.

Their stance on Zhou Yang and whether he was right or wrong are completely irrelevant; they wouldn't even consider that.

After celebrities came forward to support Tianmen Entertainment, their fans, along with online trolls hired by Tianmen Entertainment, began to retaliate against Zhou Yang, flooding his Weibo comment section.

"You piece of trash, your lie has been exposed!"

"Haha, you're still planning to whitewash it? Do you really know it?"

"You piece of trash, you've really messed with me this time!"

"As a fan of Dilraba, I'm so glad I didn't believe you. It turns out you've been lying all along..."

"Zhou Yang, get out of the entertainment industry!"

"..."

Just then, Zhou Yang returned home and saw Tianmen Entertainment's statement and the reposts and comments from its artists. Zhou Yang's expression immediately turned cold.

"Tianmen Entertainment, do you think I dare to oppose you without solid evidence?!"

"Zhou Yang, you shouldn't go too far. It'll be bad for your future career in the entertainment industry." Fat Di knew what Zhou Yang was planning to do and expressed his concern.

In the entertainment industry, capital is of paramount importance. If Zhou Yang dares to confront the CEO of this entertainment company today, he may clash with other companies tomorrow.

When faced with a stubborn person like Zhou Yang, the major entertainment companies will tacitly choose to avoid him.

No matter how good your acting skills are or how popular you are, if you have no roles to play and your exposure decreases, your fans will naturally forget you, and that's the most fatal thing.

Zhou Yang naturally understood this principle as well.
