Xiao He unexpectedly gained a criminal cheat skill that allows him to learn all kinds of crime-related abilities.
—But the catch is, he has to keep “stabbing people” to stay alive.
<...After figuring out what happened back then, Xiao He fell into deep thought for a long time.
Since Tong Junhui was tricked by Tian Heng back then, and even voluntarily left the entertainment industry, why is he coming back now, and even getting together with those people?
Did the victims of that time eventually become the perpetrators?
Xiao He sighed and couldn't help but investigate the events of that year.
Sure enough, what happened back then was actually a tragedy caused by the power struggle between the two sides. The movie that Tong Junhui starred in was released at the same time as another movie invested by Chen Cong. The two movies involved the same past entanglement of the copyright of the screenwriter's script. As the lead actor, Tong Junhui was naturally the primary target and became cannon fodder crushed by capital.
They probably didn't expect that the danger back then wasn't brought by others, but by the betrayal of "their own people".
After all, Tian Heng was Jiaxing Entertainment's agent at the time, so he should have stood on Jiaxing's side and helped Tong Junhui.
I don't know what's gotten into him, that he's so determined to help outsiders destroy his own company's cash cow.
Xiao He guessed that very few people knew about this matter, and even President Song of Jiaxing Entertainment probably hadn't noticed anything amiss. Otherwise, given his opportunistic nature, he would have definitely given Tian Heng a good beating and taught him a lesson about betraying his own people.
Incidentally, Xiao He also discovered something very interesting: the script that was the focus of the controversy between the two production teams back then was written by Feng Zhengyang's wife, Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun is also a well-known screenwriter in Hong Kong. She stayed at home while writing this script, and Feng Zhengyang read and guided the script throughout the process, and saw its immense potential.
It's just a mystery how this couple communicated. They've always been a loving couple in public, yet they had a major disagreement over the copyright of this script!
Before the script was even fully completed, Feng Zhengyang had already started preparing the crew. In his view, this script was definitely meant for him, and once the script was finished and approved, he could save time on filming.
Unexpectedly, while his production team had already prepared its investment and actors, Zhang Yun, after finishing the script, turned around and sold the copyright of the script to investors in Shanghai. Moreover, without Feng Zhengyang's knowledge, the production team there also started working on the project and found Tong Junhui to play the lead role.
Both circles are relatively closed off. People at most inquire about the subject matter and general content, but they don't compare each other's scripts one by one. So, under such a delicate balance, the fact that the two production teams were filming the same script went largely unnoticed.
In the end, Feng Zhengyang still hadn't received the script's authorization. When he went to ask his wife, Zhang Yun, he learned that she had already sold the script's copyright to someone else.
Upon learning of this, Feng Zhengyang nearly suffered a stroke from anger. He never expected that his wife would make such a decision without even consulting him.
At this point, it's almost impossible to salvage the situation. The script copyright is in the hands of the investor in Shanghai, everything is legal and compliant, and the project has already progressed halfway. The investor is unlikely to transfer the copyright to Feng Zhengyang and Chen Cong. On the contrary, if Feng Zhengyang dares to continue filming, it would be an infringement, and a lawsuit would be filed without hesitation.
Thus, the situation on both sides became almost a deadlock.
Fortunately, not long after this incident, Zhang Yun mysteriously disappeared. Feng Zhengyang, under pressure from public opinion, also withdrew from the entertainment industry, and his previous film project was aborted midway, ending in an imperfect way.
However, the film crew that Tong Junhui was in swept all the awards that year with this script, and Tong Junhui also won the Best Actor award.
In fact, very few people knew about the script incident. Apart from the parties involved in both production teams at the time, there was hardly any trace of it online. After all, having a script filmed by two different production teams was considered a scandal at the time. Coupled with Zhang Yun's disappearance from her home, Feng Zhengyang became the prime suspect, and the public pressure was immense. In order to prevent further revelations and to prevent public opinion from spiraling out of control, Feng Zhengyang ultimately chose to quietly retire from the entertainment industry.
Sometimes you have to admit that running fast is also a kind of wisdom. Take Feng Zhengyang or Su Shengxi for example. At least they have withdrawn from the public eye, so not many people can see what's going on behind their backs.
Even now, Xiao He still can't figure out what happened between Zhang Yun and Feng Zhengyang back then that could turn these two lovers, who had walked hand in hand for most of their lives, into bitter enemies, and even lead to a death...
But to put it bluntly, it all boils down to "interests".
Xiao He wasn't too surprised.
The only thing that can be confirmed now is that Tong Junhui was definitely set up back then.
As for whether he himself knew who had set him up back then...
Xiao He shook his head and sighed deeply.
