"Shocking! Well-known Hollywood director Jackson Jr. had several private transactions with 'Remote' during the filming of 'Arrival', selling out many important business secrets of company executives and leaking information of many artists. Jackson Jr. will face 35 charges!"
"Andrew, owner of Hollywood Century: A number of pieces of evidence have been authenticated and submitted to the judicial authorities. I feel very sad about this, Mr. Jackson, who was once my best friend."
"Shocked! The shameful things that Remote had done. Paimon CEO Smith questioned James's job-hopping and suspected that his company's scripts had been leaked..."
"Hollywood's famous media 'Huabo Entertainment' exposed that a company under 'Yuancheng' had been collecting data and information on a number of Hollywood artists and directors. 'Huabo Entertainment': Everyone knows Director Wei's purpose!"
"'Remote' emerging director, famous Chinese director Wei Wuji is suspected of stealing secrets from multiple Hollywood entertainment companies through improper means. The situation is serious and has constituted a crime. Multiple entertainment companies have simultaneously filed personal charges against Wei Wuji..."
"Did Arrival and Skull and Bones fail at the box office? Or is there another reason? Is it suspected that information from all sides has been leaked?"
"'Remote' is embroiled in a huge scandal. Will China's best director Wei Wuji face multiple charges like Jackson Jr.?"
“…”

September 8th.
Many media outlets in the United States, including many media outlets in China, have unanimously revealed a shocking piece of news. Moreover, this shocking news is not groundless. The major media outlets have even vaguely revealed a lot of solid evidence such as photos, recordings, consumption records, witnesses and physical evidence!
Moreover, these evidences have been confirmed by authoritative personnel, so there is no possibility of suspicion of falsification!
Then……
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
Everyone was stunned.
The entire American entertainment industry was filled with indignation on this day, on Twitter, on media websites, in entertainment forums...
In short, the criticism from all sides and the popularity of various topics are simply crazy!
The same is true in China.
"Fuck...Director Wei, please stop causing trouble!"
"Director Wei, you're really going too far. It took a lot of effort for 'Remote' to gain a foothold in Hollywood. By doing this, aren't you just destroying the reputation of 'Remote'?"
"Director Wei...I hope you can show up in public and say that these things are fake and the photos are photoshopped?"
"What's fake about it? The police in the United States have confirmed that these things are real and not made up, so do you think they are fake?"
"Fuck! This is a huge scandal..."
"A fly won't bite an egg without cracks. In fact, I've long felt that this Fatty Wei is a worthless person..."
“…”
China.
Countless comments about this topic were flooding the media, and the popularity list directly bombarded all media. The huge scandal even caused some well-known Weibo celebrities to join in the bombardment.
At first it was just talk, but then, as if instigated by someone with ulterior motives, the talk turned into scolding.
Even before any official news was confirmed in the United States, and the trial hadn't even begun, voices were already emerging in China, such as "It's a disgrace to China," "The Chinese have lost all their reputation in Hollywood," "September was supposed to be an exciting month for the entire Chinese film industry, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a scandal," and "It's a disgrace to 'remote'."
Fatty Wei's reputation, which had originally been very good in China, suddenly began to plummet.
However, the attitude within the Chinese director circle is very strange.
Except for some influential directors like Liu Guoqiang who stood on their high feet and scolded Fatty Wei, other directors remained silent.
They didn't follow the trend and post any Weibo posts, nor did they make any comments.
Chinese entertainment companies are also weird.
Both Joaquin and Tianyu Entertainment have maintained a unified attitude of silence, and even all their employees have received a hint that they should not participate in discussions on this matter, and it is best not to even repost it.
The two major companies remained silent, and dozens of other second-tier to top-tier entertainment companies also remained silent.
This situation is really weird!
It seems that only netizens are following the trend, and some media are hyping it up to gain popularity...
Among these media, what shocked all netizens was that Chaoyang Entertainment News seemed to have become a traitor!
Logically speaking, as a media under Lu Yuan, it should say more good things about "Chengyuan" or "Fatty Wei" in this matter, or forcibly whitewash them. This is normal and logical, isn't it?
but……
What no one could have dreamed of was when other media were making a fuss.
It also joined in the fun and took advantage of a considerable wave of popularity, even publishing such hot headlines as "Wei Wuji will face multiple charges and may never be able to make a comeback..." The content inside was almost as if it was confirmed, which was simply insane!
This wave of mysterious operations really puzzled everyone!
…
Tianyu.
"What? How can Chaoyang Entertainment News report this? There is no result in Hollywood, so why does Chaoyang Entertainment News say that Wei Wuji is finished?"
“…”
"Is there a traitor in Chaoyang Entertainment News? Or is Chaoyang Entertainment News no longer owned by Lu Yuan? That's impossible. This media has been running well since Lu Yuan took over. Even if there was a change, there should have been a notice, right?"
“…”
After An Xiao saw the mysterious operations in the Chaoyang Entertainment News, he suddenly felt his brain was not working properly.
She was also very confused.
In other words, she also felt that this matter was completely illogical!
"There is another possibility you didn't think of." After reading a series of reports very seriously, An Wei silently glanced out the window with an extremely complicated expression: "I always feel that the existence of 'Remote' is just like the existence of Lu Yuan. It is completely impossible to infer with common sense. Even if one day, the Chaoyang Entertainment News starts to scold Lu Yuan for no reason, I won't be surprised. After all, what kind of crazy operations have not appeared since the establishment of 'Remote'? Moreover, with such a large wave of traffic, other people may avoid it, but Lu Yuan..."
"Uncle, are you saying this is a hype? If this is a hype, then the price is too terrible!"
"Maybe it's completely free of cost?"
"Um?"
"An Xiao, don't forget that Lu Yuan has a very good relationship with the relevant departments. If something really happened that was out of his control, Lu Yuan would definitely ask the relevant departments for help. If the relevant departments helped, it would be unlikely that such messy news cursing Wei Wuji would appear in the entertainment industry..."
"You mean..." An Xiao's heart trembled slightly.
"Yes! Lu Yuan should have a way to deal with it, or a plan. I even suspect that Lu Yuan has already used the influence of Hollywood to help him hype up "Titanic" or something... He is best at taking advantage of the situation, and cooperating with his shameless operations... Fortunately, this is not ancient times." An Wei looked at the sun in the distance and immediately shook his head.
"Um?"
"In ancient times, he might have been a great hero who brought about a change of dynasty and covered the sky with one hand..." When saying this, An Wei didn't even know what tone he was using.
Is it emotion?
still……
sigh?
An Xiao frowned.
Can Lu Yuan find a solution?
"Also, I got a piece of news. Lu Yuan got in touch with the world's richest man, Forrest. The daughter of the richest man, Kate, is very likely to be the star of Titanic. How could a person who can build a shell company to this point be bothered by such small problems? Just wait and see, this guy is going to play something big this time!"
After a long silence.
An Wei suddenly sighed again.
An Xiao lowered his head.
…
"What is the biggest impact of this incident on me? Or, what is the worst outcome?"
"It will ruin my career as a director, and I will be disgraced. I will be punished by American law, and I might have to go to jail for three to five years. I will be scolded all over China, and people will stab me in the back and scold me for the rest of my life..."
"Oh, is there anything worse than this?"
"Isn't that bad enough?"
"Well, it's bad enough, but I don't know why, I don't feel the slightest bit of fear. Instead, I can still drink porridge and smoke here... By the way, Lao Zhou, what do you think is the benefit of this matter?"
"The Chaoyang Entertainment News topped the sales charts, and the American Novi Media ranked first in terms of attention. You are world-famous and truly the only director in recent years who has surpassed A Yuan in popularity. Does this count?"
"Fuck, did I surpass A Yuan?"
"right!"
"Fuck, I'm making a killing! I'm doubly happy! Even if I stay in there for three to five years, I'll still make a killing! If I can surpass A Yuan in popularity, I can brag about it for the rest of my life."
"Yes, I am now thinking about whether I can do something more in this matter to stir up some heat."
Zhou Shuai, Fatty Wei, Lu Yuan, Forrest, James...
When everyone outside was cursing and Fatty Wei was pushed to the forefront, "Remote" should have fallen into an extremely serious environment.
No one could have imagined that while Lu Yuan's lackeys were all sitting together discussing, the entire conference room inexplicably filled with a very relaxed conversation that sounded like play.
Lu Yuan felt quite helpless.
These people are fearless and don't seem to take the storm seriously at all. Zhou Shuai and Fatty Wei are still figuring out how to take advantage of this wave of popularity and then add fuel to the fire to make a big fuss.
"I say, you... be serious now. Everyone is discussing important matters. I really don't know where you learned this lawless attitude. Let's be serious and discuss solutions!" Lu Yuan looked at Fatty Wei and Zhou Shuai who had reached a consensus, and finally couldn't help but slapped the table.
"Ayuan, aren't we learning from you?"
"Learn? What do you want to learn from me? I..."
"Yes, good things should be kept within the family. If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you are a bastard. Didn't you always say this before? Besides, isn't this the core purpose of our 'remote' entertainment?" Fatty Wei didn't look like he was about to face a tragedy. Instead, he looked at Lu Yuan.
"But the problem is, this is a meeting to discuss solutions, not to divide the spoils. Why do you two look like you are dividing the spoils? Aren't you afraid?"
"I was a little scared at first, but now, what am I afraid of... With so many Hollywood companies hyping me up, isn't that great? Afraid? What is there to be afraid of? Eighteen years later, I'm a hero again. Besides, they accuse me? Let them accuse me. I've read all the accusations. Except for the one about asking for information of their company's personnel, which I admit, the rest are all perjury. I didn't do it! What am I afraid of? Stealing company secrets? How? They have evidence, but we don't." Fatty Wei looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He was very happy.
“…”
These people...
Directors James, Forrest and Andor looked at each other.
They are still somewhat uncomfortable with this kind of meeting.
They even felt that everything they saw and heard today completely overturned their outlook on life.
They felt that Fatty Wei...
The thief is fucking invincible.
"You'll get used to it after seeing it more often. These are not big deals. No one will die. At most, Fatty Wei won't be a director anymore and can just be an internal human resources manager at 'remote'. I specifically asked about it. Although the other party's evidence seems to be so impressive, it is impossible to put Fatty Wei in jail. The most they can do is to ruin his reputation." Zhou Shuai smiled after seeing a few bewildered directors.
“…”
“…”
James and the other two looked at each other.
Isn’t it a big deal to be ruined?
So what is the big deal?
