Huayu: From charlatan to great entertainer

Chapter 273: Holding Concubine Yi hostage to make the road smoother?
In the domestic entertainment industry, the title of the Four Little Flowers first appeared in the early 2000s.

It was not until 2002 that Nanfang Metropolis Daily first referred to four post-70s actresses, Yan Zi, Zhang Ziyi, Xu Jinglei and Zhou Xun, as the Four Little Flowers.

In the mainland female artist selection at the beginning of last spring, the pattern of four Dan, two Bing and one Fei was established.

As time enters April, the selection activities for the new year's official and unofficial rankings are also underway.

Just like the annual reports of listed companies are usually released before April 4, it is customary that similar selection activities in the entertainment industry will also be launched in March and April every year.

Because starting from March, all the foreign Golden Globe Awards, Oscars and Berlin Film Festivals have almost come to an end.

The Spring Festival Gala, one of the proofs of domestic status and position, has ended for more than a month. Last year's three Chinese music awards and the Magnolia, Golden Eagle and Feitian Awards can all be used as references.

In view of this, Huayi's public relations activities for Jang Nara are also proceeding as scheduled.

First, the Beijing Film Academy tribute drama "Silver Years" was broadcast on Tianjin Satellite TV. The lineup with guest appearances by Jang Nara, Beijing Film Academy star students, Fang Long, Kou Zhenhai and others attracted a lot of attention.

This was followed by Jang Nara's solo concert in Beijing, during which she promoted her new album "One", which sold over 20 copies in just one week including pre-sales.

Finally, on March 3, there was the open day event of the South Korean Embassy in China. Jang Nara was officially awarded the title of Outstanding Cultural Exchange Ambassador, and her face was full of prestige.

There's also the summer blockbuster "Seven Swordsmen", Huayi's recently launched "Red Cliff", the xianxia drama "The Legend of Immortal III", and the costume idol drama "The Princess Weiyoung".

Although he did not enter the industry as he wished, the resources brought by Huayi are indeed not small.

Zhang Nara, who has devoted herself to Zhou Jun, who is more than ten years older than her, has gradually become complacent and seems to feel that she is capable of competing with Liu Yifei.

Zhou Jun and Hua Yi launched large-scale water army marketing on the Internet such as Maopu, Tianya, Blog.com, and Xinlang, and guided fans and public opinion with the usual methods of bundling, pulling down, and being Korean, and achieved good results.

Xinlang, in particular, has played the role of the enemy's public opinion center since the Liu Yifei online violence incident.

This time, before the selection activities were announced on websites such as Blog.com and Tianya, a popularity ranking event for female artists in the domestic entertainment industry in 2005 was released.

Judging from the various soft-text publicity and content creation, the strategy used is to bundle and hype the "Four Dans, Two Bings, and Two Beauties".

It is currently difficult to discredit Liu Yifei. After the last incident, she has become even more successful, with her blog followers exceeding 10 million.

Then just bind it and hype it up?
The Chinese and Korean beauties, this slogan is good.

Soon, a hype article by a person who called himself a passerby but was actually a water army was pinned to the top of Xinlang Entertainment’s voting section.

"Liu Yifei's lively and ethereal charm meets Jang Nara's sweetness and playfulness. The two Chinese and Korean beauties shine together, blooming their unique stars and opening a new chapter in the charm of domestic entertainment."

Of course Xiao Liu's fans were unwilling to do so. As they had been traveling around for the past two years, they immediately rushed to the post to clarify the facts.

"You idiot Koreans, have some shame? You're trying to get a movie for free when it's not even in theaters yet, huh?"

"Why did you use some tricks on Xixi last year, and then you just tied her up and killed her this year?"

"Go back home! You're fucking taking our ancestral temple sacrifices and Dragon Boat Festival heritage application! Shameless!"

The comments on the third floor quickly attracted attention. Nowadays, if this kind of information is not pushed and publicized by someone with ulterior motives, not many people will know about it.

"Are you kidding me? Jang Nara is pretty nice. She speaks Chinese everywhere she goes. She's very approachable."

"Am I talking nonsense? Go read a history blogger's popular science post on Blog.com, where he posted the official UNESCO website as proof."

This was of course instructed by Boss Lu.

Although the conditions are not yet in place to fully launch slogans to restrict and oppose Korea, it is okay to lay the groundwork and whisper in people's ears first.

In 2001, South Korea successfully applied for ancestral temple rites.

In 2005, South Korea successfully applied for the Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival. They claim that it originated from the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival, but there are many differences in the festival content, commemoration objects, time span, and celebration methods.

It's just a word game, the purpose is to put the words "Dragon Boat Festival" in your pocket and stick them on your forehead.

However, such a loose science building was quickly occupied by water armies and Korean wave fans.

"What the hell? Jang Nara can sing and dance, isn't she better than your goddess? She has a chubby face, and the interview was like a mudslide."

"Liu Yifei participates in so many productions every year that she doesn't even have time to study at school. How can she be good at her job?"

"Jang Nara is different. She graduated from a prestigious acting school in Korea, and her father is a veteran actor. Her abilities are evident."

"Jang Nara starred in 'Seven Swords' and 'Red Cliff,' which depict Chinese martial arts and historical culture. What do you, Liu Yifei, play? Hollywood monster-fighting?"

I don’t know if it was a slip of the hand, but Zhang Nara’s verified account on Xinlang Blog liked a certain offensive comment. Although it was quickly cancelled, a screenshot was still leaked.

The owner has expressed his opinion, so why aren’t the fans of the Korean Wave puppy going crazy and biting him?
What about Liu Yifei's immature acting in "The Golden Age" being criticized by Chen Kun?
He withdrew from the 2002 Golden Horse Awards because he didn't win any awards;

Before she even reached adulthood, she was already having an ambiguous relationship with an international director who was also a washing machine. It was unclear.

Her style is old-fashioned, her private clothes are unsightly, and her interviews are not as prestigious as a female star should be. She doesn’t look like a star at all…

In short, if you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext. If you want to slander someone, you can always find a reason.

On April 4th, at the Beijing Starlight Film and Television Industrial Park, the casting office of the "My Sassy Girl" crew.

The drama is a collaborative project between Wu Dun from Taiwan and Deng Jianguo from mainland China. If you count the works invested by these two, almost all of them are popular.

"The Secret History of Kangxi", "The Iron-Bronze-Tooth Ji Xiaolan", "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", etc.

Su Youpeng, who just became popular again through "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", plays the male lead. The image of this spoiled princess is still very outstanding and easy to attract fans.

After much inquiry from mainland talent agencies, it seems that Jang Nara from Huayi, who is being hyped as one of the two beauties, has been chosen for the role, and today's audition is just a formality.

However, when Zhou Jun accompanied Zhang Nara to the scene, he unexpectedly saw a female artist from the industry.

Su Chang.

The two sides had no interaction, and there was no need for hypocritical greetings. They just sat quietly in the room waiting.

"Here, I ran a long way to find a small shop."

Su Chang was wondering if it was a bit presumptuous of Lu Yao to ask him to audition.

The fate of this princess role has gone viral online, so why bother taking time off from school to come back?
The man next to him handed over a bottle of water. He was quite tall, about 27 or 28 years old, wearing sportswear and a baseball cap, and seemed to be deliberately hiding his identity.

"Thank you!"

As soon as Zhuang Xu sat down on the bench, he unexpectedly discovered that one of the other couples had a rival who had been dealing with blogs quite a lot recently.

Zhou army.

He lowered the brim of his hat a little more and glanced at the innocent actress whom he met at the annual meeting of the industry.

A gentleman loves a beautiful lady. Zhuang Xu thinks he is different from his junior brother Sao Gouzi. He is a serious and honest man.

He studied hard, took exams seriously, and worked diligently until his 19-year-old junior fellow student came out and led him down a path of no return.

"As a big boss, you still have time to accompany me to the audition?" Su Chang looked at him coquettishly, and somewhat understood the feelings of some of Xiao Liu's sweet moments.

"Haha, it just so happens that we're in Mr. Lu Yao's office discussing something, so I stopped by, haha."

Zhuang Xu felt a little embarrassed. In his entire life, he had not told many lies.

The former investment bank manager, who has already become a big shot in the Internet industry, inexplicably envied some of the beastly traits of his junior Boss Lu.

"Su Chang, don't call my name." He reminded him a little worriedly, afraid that Zhou Jun, who was not far away, would notice him.

"Ah? Oh!"

Since the beginning of the year, the two companies have been subject to financial data access and tax audits many times through proper procedures.

Recently, a former employee was taken away, and no one knows what will happen.

He didn't want Zhou Jun to notice his close relationship with Wenjie, even if it might just be a cover-up.

"Ms. Jang Nara, please come in."

"I'll go first."

Zhou Jun looked up: "Well, Xiao Lei should have communicated with Wu Dun. You can do whatever you need to do."

He flipped through the "Peking Daily" in his hand, thinking about how to use Xiangtai and Xinlang Entertainment to add fuel to the fire.

The audition director was Lai Shuiqing, who had just finished filming "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" in 2002. However, he felt a little disappointed when he saw Jang Nara walking in confidently.

Wu Dun, Wu Dun, you don’t want to reject Zhou Jun and Huayi directly, so you let me, the director, take the blame?

That’s right, Wu Dun, a veteran in this world, doesn’t want to offend Boss Lu, nor does he want to be at odds with Hua Yi.

I can only pretend to be accommodating and let director Lai Shuiqing take the blame first.

What excuse are you going to make?

Is it an acting problem? Or a nationality problem?
At the critical moment, this Korean star was indeed the first choice!
Su Chang also agreed that his professional ability was excellent among his peers, but after all, he was not as popular as Jang Nara is now.

It seems that she is a rising star who is on par with Liu Yifei, and her status is still a level higher than Su Chang.

But after being in this industry for a long time, he knew that many deals had already been completed and it was not something that he, as a director, could have any say in.

"Haha, Miss Zhang, please sit down."

"Tell me about your understanding of the role?"

Lai Shuiqing lowered his head and pretended to read some information. After a while, he didn't hear Zhang Nara speak, and couldn't help but look up at her.

"Director? Did you make a mistake?"

Since there were no outsiders present, Jang Nara put away her polite and courteous attitude and looked at Lai Shuiqing with some joking.

Zhou Jun outside the door gave her great confidence.

Lai Shuiqing was stunned by her standard Mandarin: "What?"

"I thought I was here to sign a contract."

"Director Lai Shuiqing."

The old man was not very happy. Even if Zhang Manyu and Gong Li were standing here, they would not talk to the director like this, right?

"If it's not convenient for you now, you can go out and rest. Let Su Chang audition first."

The answer was the harsh sound of chair legs grinding on the marble floor: "Okay, then I'll wait for you to sign the contract with me."

Jang Nara wasn't worried at all.

After carefully traveling across the ocean from Korea, he saw the power possessed by Zhou Jun and the big and small kings in Huayi.

Apart from that person who was still a strong rival, she didn't think she needed to bow to anyone.

This seems to be the traditional national character of Koreans, servility towards big powers.

Zhang Nara feels that she can also be more willful like Liu Yifei in the interview, saying what she wants to say and letting it slide if she doesn’t want to say it.

Why is she the only one who does this and still has fans?

You can do it yourself and feel relaxed.

Xinlang's double binding seemed to give her an illusion, an illusion that she was already wearing the emperor's new clothes.

"Has it been signed?"

Zhou Jun suddenly looked up and glanced at the time again.

His wife is coming back from a business trip tonight, so he must go home. He dare not be late, let alone not go home.

Even though his own family is considered prominent, he still relies more on his wife's family.

"Get ready to go."

"No!" Jang Nara looked like she was about to cry.

"The director refused to sign a contract with me and said he wanted to find Su Chang from the entertainment industry to replace me."

Zhou Jun looked at Su Chang and the other person not far away in surprise. He thought they were naive, but now it seems something has changed?

"You sit down first, I'll go in and ask."

Zhou Jun stood up leisurely. Given his status, he didn't want to deal with these unknown people, but time was running out, so he wanted to finish the matter quickly and leave.

"Mr. Zhou, right?"

Lai Shuiqing was no fool. He had long known the identity of the big boss behind Huayi who pushed the door open.

"Welcome, welcome! Haha."

"Hello, Director Lai, is there any misunderstanding? Do you need me to call Mr. Wu?"

Lai Shuiqing thought to himself, "Now that you can get through, I'll take your surname."

"Mr. Zhou, please be patient. We still have to go through today's procedures, hehe."

Drag it on, drag it on...

Zhou Jun didn't have much patience for such a small character. He raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry when suddenly Lai Shuiqing's female assistant pushed the door open.

"Director, look at this!"

Lai Shuiqing originally wanted to let the female assistant leave first. She didn't know that the crew had already decided to change the cast, and there were some things that were not convenient to say on the spot.

But when I glanced at the title of a video posted by a blogger on my laptop...

"Korean star Jang Nara's father, Zhu Husheng, participated in a domestic variety show and said: Mainland audiences have low artistic standards and are easy to make money from, so it's a good place for his daughter to help improve her poverty."

His sense of public opinion isn't particularly sharp, but this news happened to come out at this very moment...

Is there some explanation?
Lai Shuiqing turned the notebook around with a smile and said to Zhou Jun, "Mr. Zhou, please be patient and take a look at this first."

In the video, Zhu Husheng confidently answered the host's questions on a show.

"President Zhu, did Nora help you solve the financial difficulties of the drama club you founded?"

"Haha, yes, Nara is such a lovely and motivated child. She hasn't been home in China for a whole year."

The host, who received a signal from a core figure of CJ Entertainment, the mastermind behind the Korean entertainment industry, continued to dig holes.

"I heard that the audiences there really like our Korean art, is that right? Wouldn't that make it easier to generate revenue?"

Before participating in the show, Zhu Hu, who was deliberately taken to a social drinking event because of his history of alcoholism, said without thinking: "Haha, of course!"

"Mainland audiences are very obsessed with our Korean actors. Although she doesn't have the popularity of Kangta or Jun Ji-hyun, Nara can still make money easily."

"I felt bad for her being unable to go home in such a place, but my daughter told me that as long as we ran out of money, we could go to China."

Korean variety shows tend to be quite explicit, and although the audience felt a little uncomfortable, they didn't think there was anything out of the ordinary.

Just like the outspoken Jang Nara in later generations, Zhu Husheng, who sent his daughter to the mainland where "people are stupid and rich" in order to realize his own theatrical dream, has fallen into a trap.

Zhou Jun's heart was pounding. He didn't even bother to pay attention to Su Chang who was walking in for the audition. He glanced at the familiar man in the baseball cap and quickly left with Jang Nara.

A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. The official team of Blog.com, the originator of the Internet water army in this era, combined with the monitoring feedback from the Public Opinion Office Monitoring Center, quickly spread the "money-making scandal" from its own websites to the entire network.

Among them, many videos were re-created, edited and subtitled, and uploaded to Wenjie Video, which has launched a series of short video competitions to encourage users to create their own content.

Under the deliberate guidance of the invisible hand, it has escalated from the original money-making to contempt and discrimination, and then to a naked display of Korean national superiority, and has been linked to the news that Koreans are scrambling to apply for World Heritage status.

Jang Nara, a Korean star who has not yet reached the top of the duo list and is on par with her imaginary rival Yoo Yi-bi, is already in a precarious situation.

The conference room at Huayi’s headquarters building on Xinyuan South Road in Chaoyang District, Beijing, is already packed with people.

"Has the PR department arrived yet?"

"Yes, Mr. Wang, I'm connecting with key people at major websites."

"Where's Director Yao from Hunan TV? Is it easy to coordinate next week's 'Base Camp' program?"

"Mr. Wang... we've finished recording next week's Hunan TV broadcast for the crew of 'The Great Song Dynasty Chief Justice'. We..."

Wang Xiaolei glared at him. "What's the point of maintaining such a good relationship? We need an explanation now! Keep communicating!"

"Yes!"

. . .

The conference room was in chaos, and Zhang Nara, the person involved in the scandal, was sitting in Wang Dajun's office crying in grievance.

"I... can't get through to my father on the phone... This is just too much... Woo woo woo..."

Zhou Jun has been lost in thought since he entered the room.

Zhu Husheng participated in the program voluntarily. No one forced him. Maybe he spoke without thinking, or maybe someone deliberately guided him.

But no matter how he speculated, he could not imagine the role Lu Kuan played in this matter.

Wenjie has no industries or long-term partners in South Korea. How could he possibly reach so far?

"Okay, stop crying."

"When you have time, you should also talk to your father. Don't smash the bowl while eating."

Zhou Jun suddenly said sternly, "The fact that he could be misled by others shows that he has always had this in mind."

"How can a small country with so few people who can't even afford cabbage have such a strong sense of superiority? Huh?"

Wang Dajun hung up the phone by the window and walked over. "Director Ouyang promised to coordinate the show for us next week. Let the crew of "Seven Swords" go to the base camp to promote it."

"We need to polish the script a little more to show her approachable, kind, and friendly side."

He turned to Jang Nara and said, "By the way, I've contacted some social charity events for you tomorrow. You can do some last-minute work."

Zhang Nara nodded aggrievedly, clutching the tissue tightly, and tears as big as beans fell on her hands.

Zhou Jun suddenly stood up and said, "Since Hunan and Taiwan are not enough, I will contact Ambassador Li of the Korean Embassy in China to see if we can organize a temporary Sino-Korean Cultural Day event."

"Then we'll see if it's convenient to invite CCTV's variety show channel to participate in the broadcast." In fact, it was all just copying the PR tactics that Boss Lu used to fight back against them last time.

He counted on his fingers the weapons of public opinion he could use: "Xiangtai, the embassy, ​​let the stars of Huayi speak out."

"Oh, and Xinlang, he must play an important role. I'll go and discuss this matter with him."

Zhou Jun patted his thigh, regained the calmness of a young man from a noble family, and gently patted Zhang Nara's shoulder.

"Don't worry, it'll be okay."

"What about the negative information on Wenjie Video and Blog Network..." Wang Dajun pondered.

"Let's send a lawyer's letter first."
-
A year later, the war between Wenjie and Huayi showed signs of reigniting.

First, Zhou Jun kept a close eye on Wenjie and Blog.com, trying to find Lu Kuan, the hidden controller.

Then Boss Lu took on the project of making a movie about the earthquake, accepted the bidding for the opening ceremony, and donated the building layout in advance to prepare for three years later.

In counterattack, he aimed his first shot at Hunan TV, which was going to have a phenomenal variety show this year, but Zhou Jun also joined the battlefield.

Zhou Jun suddenly chose Zhuang Xu as the breakthrough point, while Lu Kuan went straight to the Korean Xiaomi who was trying to kill him.

Amidst the flash of swords and the shadow of knives, if you are not careful, you will be ruined.

As we enter mid-April, the global entertainment industry is full of news.

Internationally, multi-millionaire Britney Spears is pregnant;
Rachel was unhappy with Brad Pitt's affair with Angelina Jolie, so she went to court to file for divorce and requested the freezing of both parties' assets.

She also insisted that she would not let Pitt take away any of the money she earned from "Friends", especially the $2600 million in dividends from the "Friends" DVD that she would earn at the end of the year.

In China, once the negative video about rising star Jang Nara was leaked, it quickly took the entire Internet by storm.

Some semi-official blogs' comments were based on the view that national sentiments were hurt and the audience had been fooled;

Some senior practitioners from the domestic Directors Association and Actors Association, such as Pu Cunxin, Vice President of the National People's Art Theatre, believe that:
This is a manifestation of a lack of professional ethics. Judging from the words and deeds of her father Zhu Husheng, Jang Nara does not have the qualities and standards of an excellent actor;

In front of the office building of Tianjin Satellite TV Station, where the hit drama "Silver Years" was aired, extreme fans burned support T-shirts and posters and uploaded the images to the video platform Wenjie.

Ten minutes after it was published, the number of clicks exceeded 100,000, and the comment section was full of curses!
The people who have joined the WTO and are currently immersed in the atmosphere of soliciting plans for the Olympic opening ceremony cannot stand this kind of despicable behavior of eating and destroying the pot!

Comrade Zhang Huijun, president of the country's only two higher performing arts institutions, pointed out that there were major mistakes in the casting of the Beijing Film Academy's "Silver Years", and the former consultant Gu Shan has resigned.

The school will negotiate with Tianjin Satellite TV to suspend the program indefinitely for rectification.

The remarks made by the two Chinese and Korean girls on Xinlang Entertainment’s homepage were even maliciously vented.

"A small country with few people is the worst kind of shamelessness!"

"Those idiots who are into Korean culture, take a good look at what kind of people your idols are."

"Strongly demand a ban on Jang Nara! And CCTV, why are you airing 'My Little Mermaid'?"

Han Han created a special account to rant and rave about it, and his post immediately became a trending topic:
How can the despicable people of a tiny, ugly country dare to touch the ladies of a great nation like China?

Han Han was not flattering Liu Yifei, but was just an angry young man who couldn't stand the bad behavior of the Koreans.

The public opinion dispute is superficial, but the impact has penetrated deep into the bones.

The Korean star's solo concert in Tianjin next month was forced to be cancelled, and the good sales momentum of the album "One" also came to an abrupt end, and he was constantly harassed by paparazzi.

Knowing that they could not delay any longer, on April 4, Xiangtai, Xinlang and Huayi held a press conference at the Kunlun Hotel in Peking.

The topic is the establishment of three joint ventures and a solemn statement regarding the false accusations against Ms. Jang Nara.

Domestic media gathered together, and it became a carnival for entertainment reporters and paparazzi.

Huayi arranged travel expenses in advance and instructed several friendly magazines and media outlets to ask supportive questions.

The press conference officially began at two o'clock in the afternoon.

After a brief introduction by the host, Wang Dajun, President of Huayi, Wu Zheng, Vice President of Xinlang, and Wang Peng, Chairman of Tianyu Media, a subsidiary of Xiangtai, took the stage first.

Wang Peng is the creator and builder of the later "Super Girl" brand, and holds a prominent position in Hunan and Taiwan.

Wu Zheng is the founder of Sunshine Culture and a director of Xinlang, the latter of which is currently the largest shareholder of Xinlang.com and the husband of well-known talk show host Yang Lan.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, let's get straight to the point."

"Today, Huayi, a domestic private film and television company, Xinlang, a leading internet portal, and Tianyu Media, a subsidiary of Xiangtai, are gathered here."

"The three companies have jointly established New China Entertainment Culture Media, and will collaborate in film, television, and variety show production, cultural event planning and execution, and social media marketing!"

There was warm applause from the audience, half of whom were extras hired for 20 yuan a day.

Nonsense, where can we get so many people and invite so many guests for this meeting which was decided at the last minute?

Let’s not talk about anything else, just say that Tianyu Media participated in the investment. Because of the nature of its parent company, Hunan TV, it had to go through layers of approval.

Today, I just got a memorandum of understanding and quickly promoted myself and created momentum.

A reporter from the Beijing Times asked, "What are the business focuses of New China Entertainment and the former China Heng Film and Television Company?"

"Zhonghua Hengdian is a company established by Huayi, Hengdian, Warner, and China Film Group, with film production and distribution as its main business, mainly in the film industry."

"New China Entertainment will focus on artist training, variety show production, and internet marketing, sharing resources and achieving coordinated development online and offline."

Suddenly, an abrupt interview voice was heard from the crowd.

"Mr. Wang, are you in such a hurry? Are you trying to use the platforms of Xiangtai and Xinlang to do crisis PR for Ms. Jang Nara?"

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

"Which media outlet is this? Did they give too little travel expenses?"

"Slapping him in the face, how cruel!"

A tall reporter took a quick look.

Hey, those who ask about the video are here to find fault!

Wang Peng knew that Wang Dajun's position was not conducive to his own interpretation, so he took the initiative to intervene: "My friend, the term crisis public relations doesn't seem quite appropriate."

"Ms. Jang Nara has always maintained a humble and friendly attitude and image since she came to the mainland to develop her career."

"Let's not talk about anything else, just take "Big Camp" and "Super Girl" that we collaborated with Hunan TV. They are both very professional and dedicated."

"This time, it's clear someone is maliciously slandering and framing us. Even if they're defending themselves, it should be a clarification, not public relations."

The young reporter who was interviewing for the video from Wenjie seemed to be interested in Wang Peng again.

"Mr. Wang, have you seen the latest news about a girl named Tang Xiao, one of the top 20 contestants in the Hunan Province division of Super Girl, slapping an armed police officer?"

"what?"

"When did this happen?"

"This is bad. You're still trying to help others? The backyard is on fire!"

Wang Peng's face was gloomy, but he remained calm and said, "This hasn't been confirmed, so please don't spread rumors."

After saying that, he whispered a few words to Wang Dajun beside him and left the stage first.

Wu Zheng, the vice president of Xinlang, was watching from the side and secretly laughed. How could he not have the ability to be moved and endure the consequences?
The reporter who asked the question about the video was certainly not shooting in the dark.

In fact, their editing and publishing teams scattered across various regions have been looking for "materials" for a long time.

As mentioned earlier, in order to quickly spark public opinion and establish its reputation, this edition of Super Girl originally adopted an ugly and scripted model.

It is similar to the recent Hunan TV hit variety show "Goodbye My Love" where various shots were reshot and put on a show in front of people.

The incident started when one of the top 20 finalists of "Super Girl" did not wear his work ID when entering and leaving the Hunan TV and Radio and Television Building.

The armed police on duty diligently performed their duties and refused to let them go. A contestant named Tang, enraged, lost her composure, slapped the soldier, and caused chaos. (Note 1)

This happened two hours ago, and there are already hundreds of re-creations on Askjie Video...

The reason why Wang Peng left the stage regardless of the occasion was because Ouyang Changqing had already emphasized it at the previous meeting in the stage and did not emphasize it anymore!
We must pay attention to maintaining stability and impact, and not leave any operational handles for the enemy stations.

Haven’t you seen the overwhelming public opinion since the conference?

The topic of "Beware of Excessive Entertainment in Talent Shows" which was planned by Boss Lu himself is still trending on blogs!
Wang Dajun knew how powerful he was. He turned around and glanced at Zhou Jun who was standing backstage. The latter had already taken out his phone to inquire about the details.

Zhang Nara, who was sitting on the stage with a gloomy face, had also fallen into an irretrievable panic.

why?
Why can't you, Xiangtai, Huayi, Zhou Jun, and Xinlang, combined together, stop that person from taking advantage of the situation?
What has made her toss and turn so restlessly these past few days and filled her with fear is how Lu Kuan had lured her father into a trap and fabricated this shocking scandal?
Jang Nara couldn't help but recall the first time her father took her to meet him, after the roadshow press conference of "Foreign Land".

And the girl next to him was obviously much luckier than himself.

Now I am just experiencing again what she went through a few months ago.

The only difference is that the man behind her is the young director.

Jang Nara smiled bitterly, feeling deeply saddened by the unevenness of life. Just thinking about it made her almost go crazy with jealousy.

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet. Now, please let Ms. Jang Nara speak."

The chaos at the scene lasted only a few minutes, and the various print and online media outlets, having received their travel expenses, cooperated to rectify the situation and return to the current topic.

Jang Nara pulled herself together and expressed her innocence and helplessness with tears in her eyes. At the end of her sobbing, she knelt down on the stage!

"Holy crap! Isn't this a bit too much?"

"Hey, it doesn't look easy."

"Why is she kneeling down? She's just a girl in her twenties. It's weird to see her like that."

"Get up? Stop it!"

Media reporters at the scene quickly took photos, and it was obvious that this would become the headline news in all major sections tomorrow.

In fact, it is not uncommon to see Korean business people performing kneeling ceremonies in international occasions.

Take Samsung for example. Since it entered the international market, there have been many reports of it kneeling down to its customers.

The most recent one was the 2016 International Zhuang Order Fair.

After the Note7 explosion incident, dealers still supported many Samsung product orders. Samsung's Korean executives immediately knelt down to "pay their respects" to the dealers, and executives in the Chinese region also knelt down.

A small country that alternates between Qin and Chu does not seem to regard these personal integrity matters as very important.

Wang Dajun nodded secretly on the side. The Korean actress was still willing to take risks.

Kneeling down to apologize was not part of the public relations procedures that everyone had discussed before.

However, an unexpected incident from her close ally Hunan and Taiwan completely broke down Jang Nara's psychological defenses.

She now only wants to do everything in her power to restore her reputation, even if that young director is willing...

But in the eyes of Zhou Jun, who was looking grim in the background, it was not Jang Nara who was kneeling, but himself!
Public opinion has never been able to withstand guidance. The vicious incident fermented rapidly within just a few hours, and the phone lines and official blogs of the relevant departments were almost bombarded with calls.

This incident fully demonstrates the harm of excessive entertainment in talent shows, and accurately corresponds to the warnings and suggestions given by Boss Lu at the conference.

How could a bad girl who can't even be called an actress dare to lay hands on our most lovely person?
Who gave you the courage? Xiangtai?
Countless organized and spontaneous conspiracy theories and negative information are flooding the Internet, and the old director has locked himself in his office for a long time.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Yao Jia walked over and knocked on the door, carrying the old director's favorite rice noodles.

After a hoarse voice of "Come in", what came into view was the old leader's bald forehead and deep bags under his eyes.

"You haven't gone home yet? Where are the children at home? Are they taken care of by your spouse?"

"Well, I'll bring you food."

"Leave it there, I'll eat it later."

Ouyang Changqing kept writing and quickly reviewed documents to make up for the work he had delayed in the afternoon.

Throughout the afternoon, the entire island was mobilized to conduct self-inspection and self-correction.

The player involved, Tang, has been removed from the team. Xiangtai and Tang went to the Changsha headquarters to visit the soldiers and express their apologies.

Tang, who was crying in front of the camera, was just a scapegoat for Jang Nara in Ouyang Changqing's eyes.

If Lu Kuan had not wanted to combat the merger of Xiangtai and Huayi, this matter could have been resolved in a more gentle way.

But then again, Tang is the scapegoat, but isn’t Xiangtai the scapegoat?

Yao Jia looked at Ouyang Changqing's face which had obviously aged in the past two years and couldn't help but ask.

"Master, how did we get to this point with Wenjie and Lu Kuan?"

She really couldn't figure it out.

The honeymoon period of the first cooperation between the two parties is still vivid in our memory.

"Chinese Paladin", which set a record for annual viewership, opened the precedent for Chinese dramas with fairy-tale themes, and both sides made a lot of money.

Well, even if you, Boss Lu, dominate the Travel Channel, the country is such a big market with a total of 4 million TV-owning households. There is no need to fight to the death, right?
Ouyang Changqing looked up and glanced at Yao Jia.

"In business competition, people use tricks against each other. It's always been like this. There's nothing to say."

Yao Jia was furious: "But they were the ones who stole the Super Girl show first and poached Long Jie, weren't they?"

"Even if there was a confrontation between the two families, we weren't the first to start, right?"

The old director smiled silently and put the pen cap on.

"The road is wide..."

"He is a very domineering person."

The old director put the cap on his pen: "This matter is actually my fault."

He sighed deeply. In Yao Jia's eyes, Ouyang Changqing seemed to have changed from a domineering director to an ordinary old man.

"We shouldn't have been involved in what happened to Concubine Liu Yi last year."

"At that time, Yang Siwei wanted her to appear on a Base Camp episode, but I didn't agree."

Yao Jia felt a little sad that there was such a thing.

She couldn't help but think of the scandal between the popular female star and the talented director that never disappeared.

Could it be that he was willing to risk his life for the beauty he loved?

Ouyang Changqing suddenly raised his voice: "The competition between Hunan TV and Travel Satellite TV cannot be compromised."

"We will maintain our position as the leader among local TV stations under CCTV. This is an unshakable bottom line!"

"but."

"In the future, when it comes to matters involving Concubine Liu Yi, or the conflicts between Wenjie, Huayi, and Zhou Jun, you must be cautious."

Yao Jia pondered the old leader's implication: "Then our joint venture..."

"Haha, I've just been thinking about this."

"Notify Wang Peng and inform Huayi that the Provincial Department of Media has officially rejected the application by Tianyu Media, a directly affiliated state-owned enterprise, to establish a joint venture with Xinlang and Huayi."

"Also, since you're not taking sides, you should treat everyone equally. Last year, Liu Yifei didn't appear on the show, so Jang Nara shouldn't appear this time either."

Ouyang Changqing seemed to have figured something out himself, and opened the box of Changde rice noodles with great interest.

Yao Jia was busy adding chili for him, thinking that the old director was planning to remain neutral and focus on development.

"Oh, right."

"How's Xie Na from Happy Camp doing now? Can she fill in for Li Xiang?"

Yao Jia spoke frankly: "It's not good. The audience reaction is very average. After all, she has only been on two episodes."

At the end of 2004, Li Xiang, the mainstay of Hunan TV's female hostess, resigned. This was partly because she wanted to marry wealthy businessman Li Houlin, but also because she wanted to seek other development opportunities.

After she left, Hunan TV began to try out Xie Na, but at that time Xie Na was in the process of breaking up with Golden Horse Award winner Liu Ye and was unable to concentrate on her work.

That is what Yao Jia just said, his current performance is not fit to take over.

Ouyang Changqing slurped his rice noodles and suddenly asked, "Is there another girl in Liu Yifei's studio who was signed by Tangren?"

"Yes, Liu Shishi, a little-known girl who graduated from the Beijing Dance Academy."

"Yao Jia, I have a task for you."

The old station director smiled and said, "When this period of hype has died down, I'll find a chance to talk to Concubine Liu Yi and see if she's interested in having Master Liu become the female host of the base camp."

"If you agree, come up with a plan for in-depth cooperation between the two sides and let that Master Liu give it a try."

Yao Jia didn't know how many times she was surprised today. With her experience, she really didn't understand the old director's intention.

"Regardless of whether she's suitable or not, didn't you say... we don't take sides?"

Ouyang Changqing shook his head: "Haha, we pursue a policy of non-alignment and remain neutral between Huayi and Wenjie."

"What does that have to do with Concubine Liu Yi? On the surface, she's an independent individual."

Yao Jia blurted out: "But she and Lu Kuan..."

"This is what I want!" Ouyang Changqing slammed the desk with vigor!

"What we want is to make this little tyrant of Jiangdong afraid to act rashly!"
