Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 473 Only the sun can darken him
"A world first! Zhou Yang becomes the first celebrity to buy a private jet!"

"I'm stunned! Zhou Yang actually spent a huge sum of money to buy a private jet!"

Breaking news: Zhou Yang has purchased a plane for hundreds of millions of dollars. Will this spark a new wave of extravagant spending in the entertainment industry?

"Big winner! Zhou Yang completely leaves other celebrities behind, spending hundreds of millions to buy a plane and showing off his tycoon style!"

"So what if he spent hundreds of millions on the plane? Rumor has it that Zhou Yang also casually gave tens of thousands of RMB in tips to the flight attendants..."

"..."

These reports have exaggerated headlines, claiming not only hundreds of millions of dollars but also tens of thousands of RMB in tips. What's most intriguing is the accompanying photo of Zhou Yang receiving the keys, which looks incredibly lifelike.

Zhou Yang could only helplessly rub his forehead; these paparazzi were relentless.

His plan to keep a low profile completely failed.

At the same time, voices questioning Zhou Yang's extravagance and waste began to emerge online.

"Famous commentator Song Zude: Oh dear! This celebrity Zhou Yang is incredibly extravagant! Every year, tens of thousands of people struggle to meet their basic needs, yet he spends huge sums of money buying a private jet. Has he ever considered these starving compatriots? What sense of responsibility does he have towards them? I urge that this wasteful and extravagant behavior be stopped! @RabbitTVNews @ChinaDaily @GreenCross..."

"Renowned writer Liu Xinda: Mr. Song Zude is right, and I also agree with banning Zhou Yang. Nowadays, the country advocates diligence and thrift, but he is extravagant and arrogant, which goes against the national policy. Shouldn't he be stopped?"

"Pioneer Dududu: This society is disappointing. Male celebrities like Zhou Yang spend hundreds of millions to buy private jets and no one criticizes them, while women in the vast society are attacked simply for buying cosmetics. How absurd is this injustice! What should be criticized are these extravagant and wasteful male representatives!"

“North American international student: Did you see that? How unfair is the economic distribution in China! Even Hollywood stars struggle to afford private jets, while a Chinese actor can buy one with ease. This is truly unbelievable. China is indeed unbelievable! Finally, those interested in studying or immigrating, please send a private message to inquire!”

"..."

Zhou Yang became happier and happier as all sorts of strange people appeared.

This is understandable, given his extremely high profile; any topic involving him immediately attracts a surge in attention.

Attention equals money!

Therefore, many people tried their best to provoke Zhou Yang, but he didn't actually know any of them!

"These people are shameless! We work so hard to earn this money, and we can spend it however we want. How can they do this?" Fatty Di said indignantly.

She had never seen such a shameless group of people.

Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Everything is normal. Not to mention me, even people like Jack Ma and Pony Ma are provoked by people every day. Even if I sue them, I can only get tens of thousands of yuan in compensation and an apology at most, but their gains far exceed that. Just like Guo Wengui back then, he plagiarized frequently but got away with nothing. So, the best way is to ignore them, let them have their own fun, and not give them any attention."

"okay."

Hearing Zhou Yang say that, Fatty Di felt that it made a lot of sense.

However, a hint of indifference was revealed deep in Zhou Yang's eyes.

"Let you be smug for a few days. You live off the internet; let's see how you survive without it!"

Meanwhile, Zhou Yang's studio released an announcement on its official social media platform.

"#Announcement: Our company's boss and artist, Zhou Yang, has indeed purchased a private jet, but it is not for the huge sum of money rumored, and this is not an extravagant act. Mr. Zhou Yang is not only an artist of the company, but also the chairman of Yangtian Film and Television Media Group. In addition to filming film and television works, he also needs to conduct business with domestic and foreign partners. Purchasing a private jet can effectively improve work efficiency, reduce time and money consumption, help the company's development, and increase tax payments."

"Furthermore, Mr. Zhou Yang generously donates huge sums of money every year and has topped the global celebrity charity list for three consecutive years, being the only Chinese artist on the list. We hope to stop the false rumors against Mr. Zhou Yang, and this organization reserves the right to pursue legal action! #" This announcement immediately received support from fans.

"I feel sorry for Brother Yang, he's being targeted by false rumors again!"

"There's no way around it, Brother Yang is a controversial figure. If we don't criticize him, will anyone still pay attention to their social media platforms?"

"Haha, you're right. Brother Yang donates so much money every year, and buying a private flying machine is a problem? What a joke!"

"Heh, these people have probably never donated a single penny."

"Don't make wild guesses. All their donations combined don't even amount to one-tenth of Brother Yang's. I'll eat shit on live stream if I do!"

"Haha, stop trying to get free food and drinks, you won't get any at all."

"..."

These marketing accounts' Weibo posts were flooded by netizens, and the comment sections became extremely lively.

"Song Zude? Are you brain-dead? You were born of a mother but were raised by one! How could your mother have given birth to someone as ugly, shameless, and only good at riding on others' coattails!"

"Open your eyes and look! Brother Yang has already donated a lot of money. How much have you donated? Show everyone what you've accomplished and see some real action!"

Zhou Yang has endured countless attacks from anti-fans over the years, so his fans have become increasingly powerful. Without their fighting spirit, how can they fully protect Zhou Yang?

At this moment, Zhou Yang is immersed in the special effects production of "The Avengers," intently supervising the progress of the work.

As a popular popcorn movie, "The Avengers" has extremely high requirements for visual effects, which is why most viewers came to see it.

Therefore, Zhou Yang spared no expense in hiring a world-class special effects team to create a visual feast for this film.

on the other hand.

In order to meet the release date of the May Day holiday, Zhou Yang gave the production time an extremely tight schedule, requiring a large number of staff to participate.

Of course, the funding is also burning brightly!

The original budget of $300 million had already exceeded the budget when the production was halfway through, and the final cost exceeded the budget by a staggering $50 million!

It's worth mentioning that most of the actors in this film are Zhou Yang's friends, so they only received very little pay.

For example, Wu Jing's value skyrocketed after completing "Wolf Warrior 2". According to market prices, he should have received at least 30 million RMB in film remuneration, but he only received 10 million RMB, giving Zhou Yang a friendly price.

In addition, Baoshu's market value was around 20 million, but in the end, it only received 10 million, a direct 50% discount.

Other actors either paid a fee as a favor or more.

The actors' total salaries were less than 20 million US dollars, and the remaining 330 million US dollars were all invested in filming and special effects production.

The money was spent wisely!
