Chapter 309 Everyone is
happy The spectators stayed up all night, but could not wait for the parties involved in the incident to speak out, so they had to go to sleep with regret. But they didn't expect to wake up early the next morning and be shocked by another incident.
Haishi police released a police report on their official Weibo account, which roughly stated that Fu Mourong and Xia Mouzhou, directors of Haishi Shenghai Entertainment Culture Communication Co., Ltd., organized and participated in overseas gambling, involving huge amounts and other serious circumstances. The two suspects and related persons involved in the case have been taken away by the police for interrogation.
"Oh my god, first and foremost, the wild magpies that have been staying up all night eating the freshest melons"
"If you don't understand, then ask, does 'relevant persons involved in the case' include Tang Songhe?"
"Upstairs, including ~"
“Is this true or false?”
Yesterday's incident was such a big deal online that reporters had been waiting at Shenghai Entertainment. However, until late at night, no one in charge came out. At dawn, several police cars arrived, and after a while, several people were taken away at the same time.
Enthusiastic netizens pointed out some entertainment accounts.
"It is said that some footage was taken, but it cannot be released because it involves police enforcement. The reporter said that he did see Tang Songhe."
“This is a really unexpected development.”
"I want to know how huge the amount is. Does anyone know so that I can open my eyes?"
"There are other serious circumstances! What serious circumstances?"
"Did it cause other people's families to be destroyed?"
"This group of people will definitely go in, but if Tang Songhe goes in, what will happen to the screenwriters?"
"He may not necessarily go to jail. He is just a 'person involved in the case'. What if he was just aware of the case but did not participate?"
…
Not long after the police report was issued, Shenghai Entertainment’s official Weibo account reposted it, saying that it would fully cooperate with the police investigation. It also expressed its position on the Tang Song and script incidents, saying that it had received instructions from Chairman Sheng Zongjiang and would definitely give justice to the victims.
Sheng Zongjiang did not expect things to turn out this way, because all he had was evidence of Fu Zhenrong's economic crimes.
Fu Zhenrong and Sheng Zongjiang have been friends for decades. When Sheng Zongjiang started Shenghai Entertainment from scratch, Fu Zhenrong also went through the hardships with him.
Sheng Zongjiang had to take a good rest for the past two years due to health reasons, and basically handed over the company's affairs to Fu Zhenrong. He also trusted this brother and completely ignored the possibility that people's hearts would change.
Fu Zhenrong started to get involved in gambling two years ago.
Because the company had a very important cooperation project with Hong Kong Entertainment, the boss there originally invited Sheng Zongjiang to go over, but at that time Sheng Zongjiang's body could not withstand the long-distance fatigue, so Fu Zhenrong went instead of him.
After finishing his business, Fu Zhenrong was invited by the people there to watch horse racing.
At his age, he already has everything, but he wants to go back and experience the excitement he didn't experience when he was young. Fu Zhenrong himself may not be aware of this, but it happened to be triggered and stimulated by a horse race.
After watching the horse race, he felt that it was not enough, so he went to the next door to experience an adrenaline-pumping activity. There was real extravagance and splendor there, where you could be in heaven in one second and doomed in the next.
Fu Zhenrong was lucky and his wins and losses were evenly matched, but what he truly felt was a joy that touched his soul.
After he came back, the happiness disappeared, but he felt very empty and came across online gambling by chance, and the happiness returned.
From then on, he lost more than he won, and he almost went bankrupt, so he tried to get money from the company. At first, he was quite cautious, but after two or three times, he suddenly realized that it was better to let others give money to him than to give money to others.
Fu Zhenrong’s overseas online gambling business thus began.
Sheng Zongjiang knew nothing about this. When the board of directors was liquidating, he did not even bring out the evidence of Fu Zhenrong's economic crimes. After all, they were brothers who had been through thick and thin together, and he did not want to take things too far. He just wanted Fu Zhenrong and his faction to withdraw from the board of directors, and the brothers would go their separate ways from then on.
The negotiations and bargaining lasted from the afternoon to the evening. During this time, Sheng Zongjiang also learned about the turmoil on the Internet from his secretary. In the entertainment industry, such common things did not matter to him. The most important thing at the moment was Fu Zhenrong.
Before they could get any results, the police arrived.
Sheng Zongjiang was also taken away to take a statement. When he came out of the police station, the feeling in his heart was so complicated that it was hard to describe.
In the next few days, Sheng Zongjiang almost lived in the company, and the first thing he had to solve was the script incident.
Several victims were from neighboring provinces and it was convenient for them to come, so they were all invited to Shenghai Entertainment. Shenghai Entertainment also contacted Liu Wangxue, but Liu Wangxue said it didn't matter, she didn't want anything, so she didn't come.
Strictly speaking, Tang Song has little to do with Shenghai in this matter, but it was indeed caused by Shenghai's negligence in management, and Shenghai is willing to bear the relevant responsibility.
The company provided them with two options. One was that they could file a lawsuit against Tang Songhe on their own and bear all the expenses themselves, but Shenghai would assist and provide part of the compensation. The other was not to go through legal procedures and mediate privately.
Because Xia Hongzhou was there at the time, the contract terms signed between the Film and Television Department and Tang Songhe were relatively loose. Take the scripts of these five dramas for example, they were not bought out, but given to Tang Songhe for profit. Not to mention the revenue earned from the broadcast of these five dramas on TV stations, since the establishment of Songhe Theater, the membership revenue of the platform alone is a very considerable figure.
If they are willing to accept private mediation, Shenghai can not only return the right of authorship to them, but also transfer the contract signed with Tang Songhe to them. In other words, from the date when the contract transfer agreement takes effect, the past will be forgiven, and the income generated by the series will be distributed according to the terms of the original contract.
After discussing it together, several people chose to mediate privately. Going to court is relatively more time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly, so of course they chose the latter.
The other three are easy to handle, but the plagiarized script is a bit troublesome. Shenghai does not intend to intervene. The profit sharing is so much, let the fruit tea stall owner and the young author discuss it on their own.
Originally, the owner of the fruit tea stand didn't want anything. He came here just to apologize to the young author in person. But after seeing the profit-sharing ratio, he quickly estimated a rough profit range in his mind - if you don't want the money, you're a fool. He wants it! The young author is also a clear-headed person. After the two discussed it, they decided to split it in half.
The script issue was resolved in this way. After the contract was signed, Shenghai Entertainment’s official website and official Weibo immediately issued an announcement, which was also forwarded by several victims.
The icon of Songhe Theater on Shenghai Video Platform has turned gray since then.
After a while, netizens opened Shenghai's video platform again and found that the icon of the original Songhe Theater was lit up again, and "Songhe" was changed to "Photosynthesis". When they clicked in to watch the five dramas again, the screenwriter column had become the correct name.
Immediately afterwards, Shenghai’s official Weibo account released another announcement that they would bring Tang Songhe, who was proven not to have participated in overseas gambling, to court on charges of infringing the company’s reputation rights.
