Filming location at a vineyard in the United States.
When Liu Rulan received the call, the background noise on her end was extremely loud. The person on the other end repeated themselves several times, but she still couldn't hear them clearly. So she had no choice but to leave the filming location while holding the phone.
Once inside the castle, the noise finally subsided, and Liu Rulan was finally able to hear what the person opposite her was saying.
"Is someone targeting Xiao He online?"
Liu Rulan's voice was filled with undisguised surprise.
"Yes, that's what we've found out so far. It seems they've been keeping an eye on Xiao He for a long time, and this wasn't something that was exposed all at once; it was premeditated."
Lin Cheng said seriously.
"We have already informed major domestic media outlets about this, and marketing accounts are gradually building up the buzz. Do we have any further plans?"
To be honest, it's not easy for the celebrity's team to get involved in this kind of controversy. After all, the other side hasn't directly and openly targeted Xiao He. In most cases, it's just small-scale actions done in private, then guided by online trolls. If they were to publicly address this issue, it would seem like they're being petty.
But if the situation is publicized and fans and passersby know about it, that's a different story. If your culture is stolen and then they start stealing your celebrities, old and new grudges will be combined, and someone will naturally take the initiative to fight back.
This is the best solution Linghui Entertainment could come up with.
After listening, Liu Rulan pondered for a moment and agreed with the plan proposed by the operations department. However, she said, "Remember to explain the copyright issue of 'The Twelve Mirrors' properly. We must not let piracy be blamed on us."
When she initially chose this script, she specifically emailed the opera house and received a positive response, so there was no copyright issue at all. If the other party simply wanted to use the name of performing at the opera house to monopolize the "official" position, she would not agree to it.
This is a very serious issue.
"I understand, we will first control domestic public opinion."
Lin Cheng nodded.
Just as Lin Cheng was about to continue speaking, Xiao Zhou from the operations department knocked on the door and came in.
"Manager Lin, there's another situation over there."
Xiao Zhou handed the tablet to Lin Cheng.
"Just an hour ago, this guy named Han Zaiyu publicly announced his upcoming filming schedule on his country's social media platform, and the film crew he's going to join happens to be 'The Twelve Evils'!"
"What? Let me see."
Lin Cheng immediately went to investigate.
Sure enough, not long ago, two important messages were simultaneously updated on the social media platforms of that country. One was that their well-known actor Han Jae-woo had successfully secured the script for the localized version of the movie "Twelve Evils". The other was that Han Jae-woo publicly stated that he would soon be joining the cast of "Twelve Evils" for filming and looked forward to meeting everyone in the future.
Incidentally, this Korean version of "12 Evils" is a joint production of several major American and Korean companies, and it is also the first film and television adaptation of "12 Evils" ever. Before this, "12 Evils" had not even been adapted into a film or television series in its own country, namely France, nor had any related film or television works been produced.
According to the author's description before his death, he also preferred that the protagonist be of mixed Asian descent and set a very high threshold for casting. In addition, there were some copyright inheritance issues with "The Twelve Surnames", so after so many twists and turns, all parties finally came to a conclusion.
In other words, from then on, when people mentioned "The Twelve Evils," the first thing that came to mind was Han Zaiyu, and Han Zaiyu's face.
Rather than just Xiao He appearing on stage for twenty minutes.
This is the real reason why Han Zaiyu initially targeted Xiao He.
As for why we chose to take the initiative instead of pretending to ignore it...
Well, it's highly likely that they really sensed a sense of crisis from Xiao He.
Simply put, he's a bit vulnerable.
