Chapter 16: The Shen Family Lawyers Welcome You (Part 3)
There are a total of six movies released at the same time as "Tianya".
Two of these six films were directed by directors with the surname Zhang, namely Zhang Duoduo, the director of the film "The Guide to Lost Love", and Zhang Yuan, the director of "Wuxia".
The box office performance of these two films is not much different, so it is difficult to judge who the director Zhang who collaborated with Xigua Dalang is.
Some people think it is Zhang Duoduo.
Because at last year's China Film Festival, he and Wu Huai were both nominated for the Best Director Award, but in the end the trophy was given to Wu Huai, and Zhang Duoduo wasted his time there.
But some people think it should be Zhang Yuan.
Because his film "Wu Xia" and Wu Huai's film "Tianya" are based on the same theme. If "Tianya" fails, the one that will benefit the most is "Wu Xia".
Everyone held their own opinion, each believing their own deductions to be reasonable. Many people even went directly to the Weibo posts of Zhang Duoduo and Zhang Yuan to question them.
Zhang Duoduo didn't say anything, but Zhang Yuan, who was known for his hot temper, couldn't stand it.
He started cursing directly on Weibo.
Director Zhang Yuan: Stop stirring up trouble on my Weibo! If you suspect me, show me the evidence! Even some directors and actors who want to hype themselves up for directing and acting should have some boundaries and stop dragging down those who truly dedicate themselves to making films!
A class representative immediately extracted the key points of this Weibo post.
What Zhang Yuan wanted to say was: First, I am innocent. Second, I am a person who is dedicated to making movies. Third, this incident was staged by some directors and actors for publicity purposes.
So the question is - who are those directors and actors who direct and act in their own films just for hype?
[Uh... Could it be that Zhang Yuan is talking about Ruan Qi, Zhan Rong, and Wu Huai?]
[Aside from the three of them, there's no one else. Weren't they the only three involved in this whole thing from beginning to end?]
So... the kiss on the cheek incident was a publicity stunt directed and performed by Ruan Qi, Zhan Rong, and Wu Huai for "Tianya"?
"It's a bit like that. Otherwise, how could Shen Wenqian have so many chat records with Xigua Dalang? How did he get them?"
[Oh my god! The entertainment industry is so scary. Ruan Qi and the others actually directed and acted out this big drama! Are we all just cannon fodder?]
[Fuck! I feel like cursing! Is it really necessary to go this far just for hype?]
Because of Zhang Yuan’s Weibo post, the public opinion that had finally tilted towards Ruan Qi and Zhan Rong was reversed again.
Fans saw this and were anxious. They sent private messages to Shen Wenqian, hoping that he could come up with another solution.
Shen Wenqian looked at Zhang Yuan's Weibo and sneered.
"If you bully my kid, I'll smack your face right now!"
After saying that, he tapped his finger on the screen of his mobile phone and sent out the third wave of evidence that had already been edited.
Agent Shen Wenqian: @Zhang Yuan, come out and get beaten. [Image] ×18]
Another eighteen screenshots!!!
Netizens who were almost full from eating too much melon immediately opened the picture.
The first screenshot is a record of bank transfer.
The recipient's name was Zhang Sheng. Shen Wenqian marked it in red to tell everyone that Zhang Sheng was Xigua Dalang's real name.
The name of the sender in this transfer record is Li Mengmeng.
As we all know... Li Mengmeng was director Zhang Yuan's assistant for seven or eight years.
When everyone saw this evidence, they were shocked and exclaimed "Oh my God!" in their hearts.
Then flip to the second screenshot.
The second screenshot is a chat record - from the WeChat account of Zhang Yuan’s assistant Li Mengmeng!
Some netizens compared this chat record with Xigua Dalang's and found that both the chat time and the chat content matched!
The person chatting with Xigua Dalang is Li Mengmeng!
The reason why Xigua Dalang calls her Director Zhang is because Li Mengmeng is Zhang Yuan’s assistant!
This evidence is harder than diamonds!
Netizens gasped in shock, then turned to the third screenshot and were all stunned.
Because from the third screenshot to the eighteenth, they are all densely packed with data about the fake box office of the movie "Wuxia" directed by Zhang Yuan!!!
After watching it carefully, everyone was shocked to find that the box office revenue of several movies released at the same time was actually stolen by "Wuxia"!
This is simply...
How shameless!!!
[The box office theft was so rampant that over 80 million yuan was stolen from the box office of "Tianya"!]
[Holy crap! No wonder the box office for "Wuxia" was so slow in the first two days after its release, but it started to skyrocket on the third day. It turns out they stole from other people!]
[I have never seen such a shameless person! ]
What did Zhang Yuan just say on Weibo? Focus on making movies? Is he just focused on stealing the box office?!
To boost the box office for "Wuxia," he went so far as to frame Ruan Qi and Zhan Rong with a kissing photo, even accusing them of directing and acting in the film for publicity. If Shen Wenqian hadn't released this evidence, many more people would have been fooled by him!
[Fuck! The more I think about this, the angrier I get. I can't help it anymore, go and curse Zhang Yuan!]
The three waves of evidence released by Shen Wenqian were like Thor's hammer, hammering Zhang Yuan to death in the pit, leaving him no chance to quibble.
The truth came to light and netizens were furious.
Everyone rushed to Zhang Yuan's Weibo to curse him. No matter how big a fuss this incident had caused, Zhang Yuan would suffer hundreds or thousands of times the backlash.
In less than ten minutes, topics such as #Zhang Yuan framed Zhan Rong and Ruan Qi#, #Zhang Yuan stole box office revenue#, #Zhang Yuan Xigua Dalang#, and #Zhang Yuan's chat records exposed# were all over the hot search list like rockets.
The pent-up anger of several fans finally found a way to vent. Instead of bickering, they all rushed to Zhang Yuan's Weibo and frantically condemned his behavior.
Wang Leke, the number one Ruan player in the entertainment industry, took the lead and cursed Zhang Yuan ten times on Weibo!
@Zhang Yuan, it turns out you were the one who framed my sister, Ruan. You're quite old and have a fair complexion, but how could you be so evil? Did your mother eat black rice when she gave birth to you?
@Zhang Yuan, a person can be a little foolish, but not a moral person. But not only are you foolish, you're also a little foolish. Therefore, you can't be called a human being.
@Zhang Yuan, you're stealing Sister Ruan's box office, aren't you? From now on, anytime you release a movie, all the theater chains under the Chinese Film and Television umbrella will refuse to cooperate with you! I'm going to piss you off!
@Zhang Yuan, get out here and apologize to Sister Ruan! A fifty-something old man bullying a twenty-year-old girl, don't you feel guilty?!
Wang Leke cursed in ten Weibo posts in one breath without repeating a single word, which amazed netizens.
Compared to Wang Leke, Chen Shi’s Weibo is much simpler.
[Chen Shi: @Zhang Yuan, the Shen family lawyers welcome you.]
What it means is, if you frame Xiao Qi, you can prepare to be sued!
