Chapter 377 Is this the defense broken?
Ding Qi has worked at Huayi for so long that he has some understanding of the goings-on in the industry.

At that time, Liu Ximing was a popular young actor and was hailed as the successor to Liu Dehua.

He collaborated with Chow Wai-min on two works and publicly expressed his favor for her, which angered Ni Zhen.

With resentment in his heart, Ni Zhen launched a slanderous campaign against him in his own newspapers for several years, fabricating all kinds of false information about him, causing his reputation to be ruined, his popularity to plummet, and he was eventually forced to leave Hong Kong.

Coincidentally, the male lead in the TV series filmed by Song Jude last year was Liu Ximing.

That's why he and Ni Zhen share the same bad taste.

Ding Qi recalled this incident and said with a smile:
"Mr. Ni is indeed from a famous family, and he is very capable. We must communicate more in the future!"

He has lost a lot of weight recently. Not only does he have no appetite for food, but he has lost interest in even his biggest interest, women.

Although the cause is unknown, this happened after the banquet.

Not to mention, that night Du Sheng threw wine in his face in public.

This hatred and resentment will never be let go!
Ni Zhen showed a happy expression and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Mr. Ding. I will do my best to avenge my previous shame!"

"It just so happens that my new drama "Who Loves You the Most" and Du Sheng's "The Fairy Sword" are broadcast at the same time."

Song Jude also echoed and said playfully:

"The Spring Festival market is so small. Either he withdraws or I move in. It seems I have to add fuel to the fire."

Naturally, his primary target was not just Du Sheng.

What he really wants is to make friends with Ding Qi and climb to a high position.

Since the TV series and the drama happen to be on the same schedule and there is this opportunity for a collaboration, he would be a fool not to take advantage of it.

The three of them reached a consensus and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.

.........

During this period, Du Sheng's schedule was packed.

The previous scandal gradually faded from the public eye as time passed, and life returned to normal.

However, on January 1th.

When Song Jude, the director of "Who Loves You the Most", was interviewed by Nanjiang Express, he suddenly directed his criticism at Du Sheng.

He was accused of personal misconduct, lack of respect for women and being a playboy.

Song Yude bluntly criticized:
"As a highly-anticipated idol star, Du Sheng's casual lifestyle and relationship style will have a huge negative impact on young people!"

There must be a reason why Song Dazui opened fire again.

Anyone who pays a little attention to film and television dramas knows that the drama "Who Loves You the Most" he starred in has been aired.

Huayi invested a lot of publicity resources in this drama.

In addition, the drama focuses on the hot topic of self-redemption of women in the workplace, so it has received a lot of attention.

But compared with the powerful "Legend of Sword and Fairy", it is a little bit inferior.

This time, Song Jude's public accusation was obviously a trick.

Media such as "Hong Kong Weekly" and "Nanjiang Express" founded by Ni Zhen followed suit, standing on the moral high ground and began to fiercely criticize Du Sheng.

Du Sheng was once again pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

Song Jude's action this time was not without reason.

For the work "Who Loves You the Most", he originally planned to strive for the Feitian Award to gain some fame.

However, embarrassingly, "Who Loves You the Most" was not included in the Feitian Awards nomination list announced a few days ago.

Huayi had previously promoted "Who Loves You the Most" extensively as a possible candidate for the Feitian Award, and the release date of the TV series was also specifically set to coincide with the selection of this award.

However, they were not selected, which caught Song Lude and Hua Yi off guard.

In desperation, they had to turn to the Huading Awards, which is also one of the three major awards.

It’s just that the competition is greater this time and the chances are quite slim.

It might even be crushed by the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" released in the same period and not even make a single wave.

Taking into account the previous three-party agreement, Song Jude simply decided to go all out.

He directly criticized Du Sheng in front of the media and let Ni Zhen secretly add fuel to the flames, trying to save the situation through Huayi's extraordinary measures.

Moreover, using the popular Du Sheng as the focus of the topic can not only bring more attention to his own work, but also shape his own image of being able to speak out.

Get it in one fell swoop!
Song Jude's move was obviously well thought out.

With the support of Huayi shareholder Ding Qi behind the scenes and media people like Ni Zhen throwing dirty water on Du Sheng, he doesn't believe that he can still fail like this.

For a time, public opinion was in an uproar and the crowd was in an uproar.

Du Sheng hasn't made an official response yet, but those girls can't hold back anymore.

Ye Jingzhi was worried that this would affect the release of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and was considering whether she should formally seek help from her family connections.

Zhang Baizhi saw that "Xiangjiang Weekly" was still rehashing the old stuff, and she was annoyed for a long time. When asked during the promotion period, she directly retorted:
"Playboy? Go back and ask your founder, Master Ni. He should have more say!"

Fan Bingbing attended a red carpet event and responded with a half-smile:

"A Sheng has now donated over 2 million yuan to charity and has helped countless women and children. I would like to ask how this is disrespectful to women?
As for who Song Jude is? Sorry, I have no interest in knowing this kind of person who only knows how to scam people. "

Gao Yuanyuan said indifferently:

“Is it fun to repeatedly hype up other people’s privacy?

On the contrary, as far as I know, when Mr. Song Yude was directing "Who Loves You the Most" last year, he not only yelled at the staff, but also stayed out all night with two actresses."

The Twins' response was also interesting:
“Ni Zhen is the founder of YES!, Xiangjiang Weekly and Nanjiang Express, and this time he is arranging Du Sheng.

Could it be that Sister Huimin threw herself at Du Sheng last time and made him lose his defense?"

Jia Jingwen, Liu Tao, Lin Zhiling and others came out to support Du Sheng.

Naturally, Liu Yifei's four girls were not willing to lag behind.

Zheng Ziyan directly published an article in response, DISS Song Yude for not distinguishing right from wrong and confusing black and white. In recent years, the celebrities who have been criticized for fraud include Zhao Benshan, Liu Xiaoqing, Guo Degang, Zhou Xingchi and others. Currently, he is involved in twelve lawsuits...

Recently, thanks to the hype of the scandal, Ni Qi, who is very popular in the East, noticed this public opinion and simply registered an account on the platform for herself:
"Hello, my friends from the East. I am Nicky Hilton. Du is my idol.
He has many fans in the country of lighthouses and his image in the country of lighthouses is also very positive. Please do not listen to the slander of villains. "

Since Du Sheng returned to China, Taylor, who has been paying attention to his movements in the East, also responded in unison.

Although she is not famous yet, nowadays, any news about Du Sheng can gain a certain amount of traffic. Moreover, Du Sheng also interacted with the two white girls, which made them completely popular.

So many women openly supported Du Sheng, even international stars were alarmed, and the onlookers were stunned.

The incident in which Song Luode blasted Du Sheng became a hot topic for a while and occupied the headlines of major media platforms.

This also gave the publicity team of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" an opportunity.

Wang Jinhua simply took advantage of this hot topic and asked the public opinion department to add fuel to the fire and direct traffic to the upcoming "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

For a time, there was endless heated discussion on the Internet.

"Tsk tsk, Song Dazui hit the wall this time!"

"So many beauties support Du Sheng, which is enough to prove that Du Sheng is so charming."

"Playboy can be favored by so many beautiful stars, can he do this?"

"As expected of Big Mouth Song, he lost the lawsuit last month for slandering Liu Xiaoqing for having an illegitimate child, and now he's starting to bite people again?"

"I used to follow the drama "Who Loves You the Most", but now I have a very bad impression of this director. Eat shit."

"Song Yude criticized Du Sheng because his drama couldn't compete with The Legend of Sword and Fairy in the three major awards, so he got angry."

"Song Dazui is not the only one behind this bombardment."

“It seems that the people who slandered Du Sheng twice before were also stirring up trouble in secret.

But side paths are side paths after all, and will only bring Du Sheng a lot of heat..."

This is indeed the case.

Although Du Sheng has the impression of being involved in many scandals, he did not suffer much criticism this time.

In addition to his huge fan base and philanthropist status, many passers-by expressed their support for him.

One of the important reasons is that Du Sheng once won honor for the country.

No matter how much power there is in the matter, the authorities will remain silent.

This silent attitude is also a silent statement.

Song Luode's original purpose was to take the opportunity to promote his own TV series, so he was mentally prepared to face external abuse.

Even quite satisfied with it.

Because in the past, criticizing celebrities didn’t bring this much heat.

Du Sheng glanced at the reputation value that suddenly increased by 5, and was quite satisfied with it.

It seems that there will be no problem doubling this number.

"We found out that it was Huayi Ding Qi, Rong Xinda, and Ni Zhen who were behind this..."

Ye Jingzhi calmly called to inform them.

"For such a small matter, there's no need to bother your family's connections. We can handle it ourselves."

Du Sheng had actually predicted that Song Jude and Ni Zhen would join forces to cause trouble, with Huayi, Rong Xinda and other forces fanning the flames from behind.

So he was not surprised at all, and he also gave up Ye Jingzhi's idea of ​​cutting the Gordian knot.

As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade. This kind of network of contacts will become less and less each time it is used. There is no need to waste it.

And, to put it bluntly, he was considering whether he should make the fire burn even hotter.

This will not only bring you popularity, but also allow you to take advantage of the situation to counterattack and burn all those evil spirits to death!

But the women are too high-profile, which seems to steal the show.

After thinking about it, Du Sheng sent messages to them one by one asking them to calm down for the time being to avoid overexposure.

Having seen all kinds of fighting in the entertainment industry in his previous life, he is no less capable than anyone in using tricks.

He also disdains to let women take the lead.

Du Sheng took a quick look at the synopsis of the first few episodes of "Who Loves You the Most" and sneered in his heart.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as in the previous life.

It just so happened that he had seen the reason why the drama was taken off the shelves on Bilibili.

Immediately write an article and publish it on three major social platforms:

[Hypocrites and thieves: Counting the eight major plagiarisms in Song Yude's play "Who Loves You the Most"! ]

“I don’t know if you have watched “Love Century” starring Kimura Takuya and Matsu Takako, which is known as one of the three great love classics of Japanese dramas in the 90s.

If you have seen it, you will notice that "Who Loves You the Most" is surprisingly similar to it! "

"The story background of both dramas revolves around the male and female protagonists in a large clothing company.

The male protagonists are all talented but undisciplined creative people. At first, they clash with their colleagues because of their personalities and work attitudes...

The heroines are all assistants in the sales department. They are smart and capable, and they work conscientiously and responsibly.

Both shows also focus on the entanglements of love, friendship, career development, and life choices.

And the conflicts and understanding processes between the characters are also very similar..."

Song Jude claimed that this drama was his original work which took him five years to polish. However, anyone with a keen eye could see that this was no longer a reference but an obvious plagiarism.

Relying on his skill of "Directing Control Ability LV2/Blue", Du Sheng listed in detail the parts of "Who Loves You the Most" that were suspected of plagiarism in his article.

These include plot, conception, creativity, scene, atmosphere, visual background and shot composition.

Once this article was published, it was like a meteor hitting the ground, causing an immediate uproar.

On the three major mainstream social platforms, Du Sheng ranks first in terms of the number of fans.

Because "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is about to be released, and his recent scandals with Chow Hui-min and Hilton's daughter, he has attracted a lot of attention.

Many media organizations and individuals will closely follow his movements in order to get the relevant news first.

As a result, in less than half an hour, the number of clicks on the exposé article published by Du Sheng exceeded 80.

The exaggerated speed at which it was reposted and spread was like a storm sweeping across the entire Internet.
