"Yes, it's the person in charge of the Crow Group, as well as Rizhao and Sihai Group."
When Mays heard Diana say that the new movie that Jackdaws was showing was likely to win an award, she did become more attentive.
Previously, my staff hadn't compiled the list of films for Jackdaws; I guess it was someone else's achievement?
But there were other important matters to attend to, and she then said, "Diana, let's talk about this later. I still have work to do."
Diana spoke as if she hadn't heard, "Mays, I'll get you the cast list for the new Jackdaw movie later. I'll transfer it to you then, and the credits will go to you."
For film associations, having the film list compiled under their name is an achievement, and also an assignment of the association.
Mays fell into deep thought. She had already understood what Diana meant: she had come to plead on behalf of those officials.
If it were another representative, they might have just pretended to be stupid and gotten away with it.
Such a thing doesn't happen with Mays, and she immediately changed her tone, saying, "Diana, you go out first, and the assistant will call them in."
Diana wanted to continue speaking, but after seeing Mace's tone and expression, she raised an eyebrow. Sigh, Mace is still Mace; she's not so easily fooled.
About a minute later, Zhang Xincheng and Zhang Zhen and their group walked in again.
Zhang Zhen and the other two smiled; the matter should be resolved.
At worst, Mays can find a way to back down; they can apologize to the person in charge of Sunset and that will be the end of it.
There's nothing that money can't solve.
If so, it means you haven't spent enough money.
"I don't want to waste too much time. Chang Chen, Watanabe No, Noda Kazuto, give me a reason to take down the new movie 'Sunset' within five minutes."
Mays' words startled them, catching them off guard, and they looked at Diana with astonishment.
Diana shrugged, indicating that she was helpless, and left after a few seconds.
Before the three managers could speak, the assistant came in from outside and said that two representatives had come to see him about work-related matters.
These two representatives were brought in by the managers of the cinema to handle this matter.
Before the representatives could even get started, Mays' assistant came in with other news: "Representatives, something's happened."
"What is it?" Mace asked, turning around.
Assistant: "Just ten minutes ago, for some reason, our Writers' Association's official website suddenly received a lot of negative comments."
"A lot more insults? What's going on?" Mays asked, assuming there was a problem with the association's work.
Assistant: "They're all criticizing us for not doing anything. There are so many comments, but we don't know why yet."
Representative Mays sat back in his office chair and opened the official website to see what the comments were.
As more than ten minutes had passed, the problems pointed out in the comments gradually became apparent.
"What is your Film and Television Writers Association good for?"
"Fuck! If you don't know how to get the job done, you just replace people. What kind of damn official are you?!"
"Baka yarou! Put it on the shelves now!"
"Oh my god, just hearing my friend talk about that worldview gives me goosebumps! I want to see it! I absolutely have to see it!"
"Has the China Film Writers Association been blinded by money? Such a good film, and it's been taken down like this?"
"I came from Flying Shark film critic. After reading his commentary, I really want to watch it!"
"..."
My assistant was completely baffled when she first read these comments, until some of them pointed out the problem, and then she roughly understood what was going on.
It seems that the removal of a certain movie from the platform has sparked public outrage.
The two representatives invited by the cinema managers were also completely bewildered.
"Which movie has been pulled from theaters this time, causing such a huge negative impact?" said a representative from an island nation.
Zhang Zhen, who was in the distance, felt the ominous premonition that had just disappeared rise again.
Could it be such a coincidence?
Probably not... How high must the movie's quality be for it to generate such a huge backlash after being taken down?
In fact, the association experiences these kinds of criticisms only once or twice a year.
But then a Thai blogger posted an article that directly tagged the association:
[Go to hell with the president of the film association! If you can't sit in this position, then let someone else sit there. I already watched The Truman Show, and I was planning to watch it again to see the details, but then I was told that the tickets were no longer on sale, so it was taken off the shelves, right?]
[You son of a bitch, can't you, the chairman, do anything useful? Such a good movie was taken down, I don't believe your father didn't take money, you son of a bitch.]
This blogger is truly hardcore, posting photos of himself in the face without any fear of being approached in private.
Perhaps this blogger is about to return to China, so they are fearless and want to support their favorite movie before leaving.
Mays, her assistant, and the two representatives who had just arrived were all startled by the post from the blogger.
Pointing his finger at the president's nose and cursing...
"The Truman Show? What movie is that? And who took it down? Quick, find someone to block this post!" The island nation's representative was named Tian Sang.
Another representative was the United States representative, Dan.
Dan said, "If it was really done by another representative, then the chairman will be taken the blame this time, and things will get serious..."
The two representatives immediately became nervous, completely forgetting why they had come here.
Nonsense, they know exactly what's important.
only.
The words fell on Mays and her assistant's ears, and they felt...somewhat...familiar.
"The Truman Show? Why does that title sound familiar?" Mays watches far too many films every day, so she doesn't remember which company made the movie, but she does think she's heard the title before.
The assistant looked puzzled and replied in a surprised tone, "Representative, this is the new movie released by Sunset."
Gou Yingjun broke out in a cold sweat. This time he wasn't acting, because he had pieced together all the details of the situation.
All the planned milestones ended with that blogger's post.
Moreover, the situation escalated to an extremely serious level with the president's face pressed against him, yet the evening glow managed to remain uninvolved.
That blogger must have been invited by the director. Since he dared to point his finger at the chairman and curse him, this blogger must have received a lot of money to go abroad and will not leave any evidence.
Of course, the director may not have anticipated this. That blogger simply loves The Truman Show, which is why he was moved to write this.
In short, the incident escalated after this post.
Gou Yingjun dared not imagine what would happen to their Wanxia if the director worked for a competitor.
No wonder he came from the early days with Director Song at headquarters. He's a capable person under Director Song, and he could easily be the head of an entire department if he were chosen on his own.
Zhang Xincheng didn't make too many connections. Seeing this, he was only pleasantly surprised, as it seemed the matter had been resolved.
