"Zhang Shengli, this old bastard, really doesn't know how to live or die!"
In a private teahouse in the capital.
Dong Shushan, Ding Chongshan and five or six others met for tea. One of them, a man in his fifties, sneered expressionlessly.
"Does this old bastard still think it's twenty years ago? How dare he speak so brazenly!"
"Humph, this old guy is really going backwards. Wasn't the lesson from ten years ago enough?"
"What qualifications does he have to comment on the entertainment industry? The sissy culture is pure slander against everyone here!"
"Why bother with him? In this world, as long as we make money legally, no one can control us. It's just the barking of an old dog, not worth mentioning."
The people present all came from major media companies. They were either bosses or general managers. In short, they had enormous power and could be said to be able to call the wind and rain in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, even though Dong Shushan is a famous director, he can only sit in the most inconspicuous corner when sitting with a few people.
Ding Chongshan sneered and said, "Zhang Shengli was once glorious, but he was too foolish to actually refuse us. I thought he would live an honest retirement life after what happened ten years ago, but now it seems that he still refuses to be lonely."
"But this old dog can't stir up much trouble. Even if he stirs up public opinion now, after a few days, when the heat dies down, no one will take his words seriously anymore."
"Mr. Ding is right. For us, this isn't a big deal. The worst that can happen is we can just arrange for someone to suppress it."
A few of them were chatting and laughing, not taking the public opinion seriously at all.
"Public opinion is indeed nothing, but what exactly is this Great Universe Media?"
An old man wearing a baseball cap said with a gloomy expression.
"Great Universe Media has been really popular recently, acquiring Giant Power Films and Aurora Films, and we didn't even hear a word about it."
"I think it won't be long before we all have to live at their mercy."
"He deserves to be at his mercy?!"
Ding Chongshan said in a deep voice, "Don't underestimate this Great Universe Media. I think they're trying to find another way out, using the slogan of restoring the entertainment industry to win over people's hearts."
"You are all experts. Think carefully about how passive our situation will be if the enemy occupies the commanding heights."
He knocked on the table and said again, "So the reason I invited you all to have tea together today is to discuss how to deal with Great Universe Media."
"You know, the slogan of this Great Universe Media is to resist sissy culture. If they really want to change everything, we will have no choice but to pack up and leave."
"What a joke! They think they can accomplish this with just their own family's strength?"
"Hahaha, that's just wishful thinking, overestimating your own abilities!"
Everyone present burst into laughter, not believing that Great Universe Media could accomplish this.
It’s not that they underestimate their opponents, but this is simply not something that one person or one company can do.
It’s not like someone hasn’t done this over the years, but what are the results?
They only need to make a slight move to make the other party pack up and leave.
The relationships in this world are complicated and intricate. No matter how powerful you are, you still need to deal with people.
In the entertainment industry, if they work together, they can be as powerful as a mountain, and it would be easy for them to deal with certain companies and individuals.
"Don't be careless!" Ding Chongshan wasn't so optimistic. He said, "This Great Universe Media gives me a different feeling than before. The owner behind it is very powerful. Otherwise, how could he have acquired Aurora Film and Giant Power Film?"
"Now, they control two major cinema chains and have a stranglehold on filmmakers, so we must not underestimate them."
"Although we haven't been involved in many films, many of the companies we work with are deeply involved in theatrical films. If they turn to Daju Media, how can we rest easy?"
These words made everyone present fall into deep thought.
"What Mr. Ding said makes sense. So what should we do?"
Ding Chongshan smiled grimly.
"That's simple. Isn't public opinion heating up right now? Then let's lend a helping hand and make the fire burn even more fiercely."
"Using our respective channels and artists, and with our influence, we can push Da Yu Zhou Media to the brink of collapse."
"Directing public opinion? That's feasible, but if you're going to do it, let's do it drastically. Our companies haven't worked together in a few years. I think we should just jointly host a talent show to suppress this super show."
"Hahaha, Lao Ding, Lao Luo, aren't you being too cautious?" A refined man with glasses scoffed. "It's not that easy for Great Universe Media to change the tide of the entertainment industry. If they want to do that, they have to keep producing films and TV shows that appeal to the public."
"Anytime they produce a film or TV show, it's bound to undergo censorship. I heard that Great Universe Media has several productions currently in production, and the investment must be substantial. If we can just put in a little effort on the censorship stage, it will be enough to send Great Universe Media to its knees!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ding Chongshan and the others showed surprise.
"Look at us! We were so focused on dealing with Great Universe Media that we forgot about this! Mr. Huang is right. With our connections, it won't be easy for Great Universe's works to pass review!"
"Come, come, have some tea."
Ding Chongshan smiled coldly in his heart. This was his purpose today.
Among the people present, Mr. Huang has the strongest network of contacts. As a Beijing native, his family has very strong connections. The current director of a department of the General Administration is his brother.
With this relationship, just a few words about it would be enough to cause trouble for the Universal Media.
Even if it is not possible to directly destroy many of Da Yu Zhou’s works, as long as it is stuck for a period of time, Da Yu Zhou Media will probably cry out for mercy.
......
At Tianhuang Group, Su Dengfeng listened to his subordinates' reports. After a moment's silence, he ordered, "Help me make an appointment with Secretary Li immediately."
"yes!"
After his men left, Su Dengfeng's face became a little solemn, and he said to himself: "What a big ambition, but if you want to change all this, you have to get past me. Just wait and see, this has just begun!"
At the same time, within the Great Universe Group.
Regarding the current public opinion, two voices are vaguely emerging.
One option is to let public opinion ferment and ignore it.
The other option is to suppress public opinion immediately to prevent it from fermenting thoroughly and bringing adverse effects to Dazhou Media.
In the general manager's office, Zhu Wenyuan sat calmly in the boss chair, while the public relations manager was sweating profusely with anxiety.
"Mr. Zhu, are we really going to do nothing? I'm worried that this will have an irreversible impact on the company."
Zhu Wenyuan glanced at him calmly and said, "Don't worry."
"Can......"
"Go down."
The public relations manager left worriedly.
Zhu Wenyuan smiled with a hint of confidence and said to himself, "The opportunity has come..."
