Chapter 300 The man behind the scenes
“When something like this happened, they got anxious.

They probably want to share some of the public pressure by showing up at the celebration. We are not stupid!"

Seeing Pan Yaoling's nonchalant look, Cao Deyu's face darkened instantly:
"You are just speculating on your own, so you can just hang up on someone?

Do you know that this may offend people unintentionally? "

If he hadn't just started playing for a few days, he would have wanted to lay off everyone.

Because this is just an annoying fan of a certain Huayi actor, and he has always been at odds with Du Sheng's fans.

"Boss Cao, this is not just speculation! Now that Du Sheng has fallen, it is 100% bad luck to be close to him."

Cao Deyu narrowed his eyes and turned to the business manager Shao Ying:
"You think so too?"

"Well, everyone thinks so!"

Shao Ying's heart skipped a beat, but he still nodded.

"Who told you that Du Sheng had a car accident?"

Cao Deyu asked:

"Where did you receive the news?"

"Hasn't it spread all over the Internet?"

"Online? Is there any solid evidence?"

The corner of Cao Deyu's eye twitched and his tone became heavier.

"The whole network is condemning it. It's almost...almost done."

“Crack!”

The notebook in front of Cao Deyu fell to the ground instantly.

He was so angry that his blood pressure suddenly rose, and he pointed at Pan Yaoling and cursed:
"Are you fucking crazy? You actually brought up your personal emotions during work hours!"

“And how many of the rumors on the internet are true? Have they been confirmed by authoritative media or acknowledged by Star Media?

If I spread the word that your idol is cheating, will you jump off the building?"

There was an uncontrollable rage flashing in Cao Deyu's eyes, and he almost vomited blood.

Seeing that Pan Yaoling, Shao Ying and the others were still a little indignant, he shook his head in disappointment:

"A rotten tree cannot be carved!"

As a middle-level employee in the company, he didn't expect that these people didn't even have the most basic ability to discern information.

He actually took the rumors seriously!
If this gets out, my competitors will laugh at me.

"Boss Cao, this is indeed something we haven't considered carefully."

Shao Ying quickly admitted his mistake:

"That post online is indeed very convincing, and there are so many expert bloggers who can back it up. Not to mention Yao Ling, even I find it hard to tell the difference."

Pan Yaoling lowered her head and said nothing, but she secretly glanced at Shao Ying and muttered to herself:

"In hindsight, it was you who said that hiring Du Sheng was not worthwhile. That money was enough to hire Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao."

"What's the point of saying this now?"

Cao Deyu said coldly:

"Even if you don't want to cooperate with Du Sheng, you have to apologize to him later."

“It’s really not entirely our fault.”

Pan Yaoling was a little spoiled and unwilling to accept it:

"Even if the post accusing Du Sheng of plagiarism is nonsense, we don't necessarily have to invite him. Wouldn't it be the same if we invited Huang Xiaoming or Deng Chaolai?"

Shao Ying hesitated for a moment, then nodded:

“Although Yao Ling has a bit of an idol filter, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao and Du Sheng are all top four young actors, and their popularity is not bad.

The effect of inviting two of them to show support is much better than just one."

"You're not going to do it? Okay, I get it."

Cao Deyu picked up the phone expressionlessly and dialed a number:
"Shao Ying and Pan Yaoling have seriously neglected their duties and engaged in corruption, causing significant damage to the company. Their employment contracts are terminated..."

In front of the two of them, Cao Deyu resigned directly.

Shao Ying's expression suddenly changed:

"Mr. Cao, it's not that serious. We just don't agree to cooperate with Du Sheng. Everything can be discussed."

"Not that much?"

Cao Deyu looked at the two of them coldly and said:

"Aren't you very self-righteous? Then continue.

Do you really think that such a small thing can break Du Sheng's golden body? You really underestimate Star Media!"

I didn't expect that I would have such an idiot under my command, who would offend people right from the start.

He is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. The company will not keep such people.

"Mr. Cao, I was wrong. Please don't fire me."

Pan Yaoling's face turned pale, and she realized that she had been too fond of him:
"I really know I was wrong, so please let me apologize to Du Sheng!"

"It's too late. Not to mention that Du Sheng's matter has not been finalized yet, even if it is true, you can't add insult to injury."

Cao Deyu remained unmoved and said coldly:
"In our line of work, we have to greet our enemies with a smile."

……

"Brother Sheng, the other party actually hung up on me!?"

Facing Wang Yaoyang's confused face, Du Sheng did not react much and said calmly:

"Don't you have a blacklist? Add it."

This is actually equivalent to being on his blacklist.

As for the post that caused a lot of controversy on the blog, Du Sheng had already seen it through the screenshots sent by Wang Jinhua.

If he had not been the person involved, he would have almost been moved by the sensational words. It was obvious that the person behind the scenes was a veteran.

But nothing can stop digging deeper! This post has no substantive evidence at all and can only fool the public who don’t know the truth.

Of course, the power behind the other party must be considerable.

Otherwise, such a small essay alone would not be able to cause such a big stir.

If it were in the past, when he was still a supporting actor and not famous, he would probably have been completely controlled by the other party.

But unfortunately, this was not the first time Du Sheng had experienced this kind of thing. How could he not prepare in advance?
Moreover, there is a saying that things are different now.

Even without mentioning the businesses that asked him to endorse and cooperate with them, the interests of "House of Flying Daggers" and the three major operators of the ringtone charts would not allow any damage.

Especially the three major operators, who were about to make a fortune seeing the album "Ten Thousand Reasons" topping the charts, so how could they let the cooked duck fly away?

Besides, Interstellar Media is no pushover either.

At such a critical moment, unless everyone is offline, we will never sit idly by.

To be honest, seeing his reputation value soar by one thousand in the blink of an eye and soon reached 5, Du Sheng really didn't want to pay attention to it for the time being.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how rare!
As long as you find the right breakthrough point, turning the situation around will be easy.

Du Sheng was thinking about whether he should set up a water army company to hype himself up again, when another phone call came in.

Ye Jingzhi didn't waste any words and went straight to the point:
"It's obvious that someone is deliberately trying to fish in troubled waters and drag you into it.

Moreover, this is not only directed at you personally, but also a challenge to the bottom line of our Star Media!
We have just had a short meeting and have already come up with appropriate countermeasures. We will definitely seek justice for you."

Although he had already guessed that Ye Jingzhi and Wang Jinhua would not sit idly by, Du Sheng still felt a warm feeling in his heart.

However, his thoughts were circling in his mind, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"Public opinion has not yet reached its peak. Let's wait for it to ferment. I'll have someone take charge of the situation later. Please cooperate with me—"

Ye Jingzhi was a little surprised, and nodded thoughtfully:

"Okay then, have you registered the copyrights of your previous works?"

Du Sheng knew that Ye Jingzhi was preparing for possible disputes, and smiled:

"Each of my works will be reviewed by the music library before being released, and the copyright of each song is registered."

Although many domestic creators have not yet fully realized the importance of copyright,
Or maybe he was reluctant to spend more money on it, but how could he, who had seen all kinds of disputes in his previous life, make such a low-level mistake?
"Not only that, in order to prevent controversy in China, I also had people register the copyrights of songs such as "Only Feelings for You", "Ten Thousand Reasons" and "Pray to Buddha" abroad."

Although these songs were mainly aimed at the domestic market, Du Sheng took a series of preventive measures at the time to be on the safe side.

There are two authoritative certification agencies at home and abroad. Even if they are dissatisfied with the latter's membership fee, this is the only option for the time being.

Now it seems that it is always worth preparing for a rainy day.

Therefore, Du Sheng did not take this little disturbance on the Internet seriously at all.

Ye Jingzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"That's good. We can be sure of winning."

Her words not only showed approval of Du Sheng's outrageous behavior, but also a bit of appreciation.

Although this man's style of doing things is a bit unconventional, he is usually as steady as an old dog.

For example, regarding copyright issues, even she didn't want to register abroad, but Du Sheng not only thought about it but also did it.

If it were an ordinary artist, they might not be willing to waste the money even if the copyright was domestic.

Because according to their thinking, as long as the song is released, there will be traces online and offline, so who would bother to make trouble for it?

Before hanging up the phone, Ye Jingzhi reminded him:
"Ah Sheng, have someone send me a copy of the copyright registration certificate for "Pray to the Buddha" later. I'm ready to cooperate with you..."

"No problem, I'll let Yaoyang send it to you later."

Du Sheng smiled readily and agreed.

"Do you have Zhang Siman's phone number?"

After putting down the phone, Du Sheng pondered for a moment, turned around and asked.

Wang Yaoyang suddenly became shy and stammered:

"Um...Brother Sheng, what do you want from Siman?"

During the last "Tianya Charity" incident, Zhang Siman half-confessed that Du Sheng was a popular person, and he still remembered it clearly.

I am afraid that my goddess has been abducted.

After all, Du Sheng's ability to pick up girls was so great that he felt inferior to him.

"Don't worry, your Siman is not my type, I just want to ask her something."

As soon as Du Sheng saw Wang Yaoyang licking the pig's face, he knew that he had some bad intentions.

He was a little speechless, wondering if this guy was possessed by evil spirits.

Because this guy had praised Zhang Siman many times for having a beautiful beauty mole next to her mouth, which matched the freckles on her face very well.

This aesthetic gap is really hard to reconcile.

"Is it about Sister Bingbing?"

Wang Yaoyang felt relieved and quickly took out his cell phone and dialed:

"Or is it that Zhang Ziyi is secretly plotting against us in this 'plagiarism incident'?"

"It has nothing to do with ice."

Du Sheng glanced at him and said:

"As for Zhang Ziyi, there is no evidence to prove that she was behind this."

At this point, he remembered something:
"Ask Siman later if she knows a trainee agent named Yang Siwei."

In addition to reporting the situation just now, Ye Jingzhi also mentioned several online trolls who were stirring up trouble for the mastermind behind the scenes.

And Yang Siwei was one of the naval leaders.

"Brother Sheng, I heard you were looking for me?"

Wang Yaoyang hesitated and spoke to Zhang Siman for a few words, but couldn't get to the point for a long time.

Du Sheng took the phone speechlessly and said directly:
"Siman, do you know a fat girl named 'Yang Siwei'?

She came to our Star Media some time ago to apply for a job as an agent intern. I think you introduced her?"
