Chapter 378 Rat crossing the street
"Wow, Du Sheng is really tough!"
"Alright! Let's tear off Song Dazui's ugly face once and for all. I've long been fed up with this clown who jumps up and down!"
"Song Jude would probably argue: How can something done by a cultured person be called plagiarism? This is clearly art."
"Brother Sheng is awesome! This is going to nail Song Dazui to the pillar of shame!"
"This heavy blow made Nanjiang Express, Yilin, and Duzhizhe all lose their voices!"
"Brothers, let's boycott these lousy dramas and inflammatory rubbish publications. Let them eat shit..."
The comment section was quickly flooded with tens of thousands of replies.
Du Sheng's popularity was explosive, and the company's media department was behind the scenes fanning the flames.
This made topics such as "Song Dazui plagiarized", "Du Sheng struck hard", and "Several major newspapers and magazines were exposed" quickly become the focus of hot discussion.
Soon, even newspapers and television stations began to follow up on the report.
Out of the circle!
Huayi tried to suppress it, but was powerless.
Song Yude fell into panic.
Because the movie he directed, "Who Loves You the Most", did borrow the plot from "Love Century".
However, the version has already been submitted to the Huading Awards judges, and some episodes have already been aired, so it cannot be changed even if we want to.
The thought of being labeled as plagiarism and the series plummeting in popularity makes him personally afraid that he will never be able to recover.
Under his previous articles, the number of comments easily exceeded tens of thousands.
But he just couldn't be happy.
Because the reviews are almost all negative.
Song Jude tried to delete the article but found it impossible to do so.
It turns out that if a well-known media account like his wants to delete a dynamic display, it needs the consent of the website administrator.
Song Lude's application was directly rejected, which made him very angry.
This is simply like being whipped repeatedly!
I even felt a little regretful.
Why do you have to do this kind of thing when you can do anyone else's fraud?
In desperation, Song Yude could only bite the bullet and go to Huayi President Ding Qi:
"Boss Ding, this drama is likely to fail. Can it be removed from the shelves in advance?"
It won’t be long before the plagiarism of “Who Loves You the Most” becomes known to the entire Internet.
Even though he was thick-skinned, he couldn't withstand the pressure from the TV station.
Although withdrawal is likely to happen, he will be whipped for every day he broadcasts it.
If this continues, I won’t be able to stay in this circle anymore.
Ding Qi no longer had the enthusiasm for conspiracy as before, and replied coldly:
"The series schedule and the TV station's broadcast contract have already been signed.
If it is removed from the shelves without a legitimate reason, will you bear the penalty?
Besides, this drama is invested by coal bosses, do you think they care whether you live or die?"
Song Jude is finished and has lost his value.
In fact, he doesn't care about the other person's life or death.
Considering Huayi’s interests, of course it will continue broadcasting while it is currently popular and earn more advertising fees.
As for Song Jude, he is a useless person who is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. It would be better for him to die early and be reborn.
So as not to implicate yourself.
Even if a lawsuit is required later, Huayi has a way to distance itself from the matter and let Song Jude bear the responsibility alone.
Previously, in order to support Song Jude, Huayi had asked its artists to speak out in support of "Who Loves You the Most".
Now that its reputation has collapsed, many artists have expressed dissatisfaction with the company because they have also been scolded by the audience.
Seeing Ding Qi's attitude, Song Qide immediately realized that he had been abandoned.
For the first time, he felt confused about his future and full of regrets.
If he had a choice, he would never have agreed to join forces with Ni Zhen to criticize Du Sheng that night.
At this moment, Ni Zhen was not having a good time either.
Because the media newspapers in which he held shares were criticized by countless readers, sales plummeted.
The attitudes of the major shareholders towards him became bad, and they seemed ready to kick this troublemaker out completely.
[What is a traitor? A detailed account of the eight crimes committed by Ni and his sons]
This is Du Sheng's second blog post after he exposed Song Dazui's plagiarism.
Letting pigs bite people, committing adultery, forging official seals, lying, informing on others and smearing the East...
As they counted the pieces of evidence one by one, this father and son were almost exhausted.
Their debauchery and wanderings in Hong Kong in those days were also disclosed to the public.
Du Sheng's private life is nothing compared to this person!
As soon as this blog post came out, it caused a sensation in the entertainment industry like a thunderclap.
This year-end can be said to be quite lively.
Everyone was full of melons.
"Oh!"
With a dull thud, the tabletop was smashed flat by a heavy hammer.
Ni Zhen's eyes were bloodshot, his teeth were clenched, his chest heaved violently, and his whole body exuded an aura of anger!
As a young man from a scholarly family, his life can be described as smooth sailing and he has never encountered any real setbacks!
In the past, he always looked down on those people in the entertainment industry who lacked cultural background. He never thought that one day he would become the target of criticism? !
How dare Du Sheng, this dead loser, make veiled accusations on the three major online platforms, calling him a traitor who worships foreigners and fawns on them?
This is like stirring up a hornet's nest!
More and more people joined in the discussion, constantly digging up the dark history of his father and son.
The heat can't be suppressed.
What is social death?
This is!
After the incident became a big deal, Ni Zhen's job at "The Valley of Unrequited Love" was cancelled, and even his shares in two major newspapers were taken away.
Some people in the circle even publicly announced that they were distancing themselves from him.
In the Hong Kong entertainment circle, Ni Zhen has almost become a rat crossing the street that everyone wants to beat.
"You wait, damn!"
Ni Zhen gritted his teeth and swore that he would not be named Ni until Du Sheng was brought to ruin!
But before he could finish his thoughts, he was interrupted by the sound of a bell. The door opened and a pure and beautiful woman walked in.
She glanced around and couldn't help frowning.
Ni Zhen was seen drunk, slumped on the sofa in a crooked manner.
"Why, you finally showed up?"
Ni Zhen was filled with rage and could not vent it. Thinking of Zhou Huimin's secret meeting with Du Sheng, he could not help but roar:
"Get out, you don't have to mind my business!"
"No matter? No matter what you have become now?"
Zhou Huimin naturally paid attention to the recent situation and sighed:
"What else can you do besides drinking? Look at how decadent you are!"
"That's right! All I know how to do now is drink! I'm a loser!"
Ni Zhen's eyes turned red and he yelled:
"You are a loser who is ridiculed by countless people! What are you doing here? Go!"
Zhou Huimin felt somewhat helpless, and her tone softened:
"Ah Zhen, things on the Internet will only be popular for a few days, and soon no one will remember them..."
"No one remembers!? Don't you remember this?"
"Ah Zhen, I've never been bothered by this. If..."
"But I can't let it go! I'll never forget it!"
Ni Zhen's eyes were bloodshot and he roared loudly.
This was the most difficult shame to erase in his life.
How could he forget the feeling of having his dignity completely trampled upon, the pain and humiliation of having all his disguises torn apart and his shortcomings exposed in front of everyone?
What else can Zhou Huimin say? Can she say that he brought it upon himself?
"Ah Zhen, why don't you go to Maple Leaf Country first? Your uncle and aunt are there..."
Going to the Maple Leaf Country?
In the past, he could leave at any time.
But now, let him hide abroad and lick his wounds silently like a stray dog?
His dignity would never allow this to happen!
"Let me go away in disgrace? What do you mean?"
Ni Zhen threw down the bottle and pointed at Zhou Huimin angrily, questioning her.
Zhou Huimin looked unhappy. She had tried her best to persuade him.
I have said all the good and bad things, and now my heart is filled with anger.
"What can you change if you stay in Hong Kong?
Can you get back at everyone who attacks you online?
That's not one or two hundred, that's tens of thousands!"
Zhou Huimin was also angry and said through gritted teeth:
"Or do you still want to take revenge on Du Sheng?
I reminded you when you slandered Liu Ximing. You said that this is the norm in the entertainment industry. If you want to be famous, you have to be prepared to be attacked!
Adults must have the determination to bear all the suffering. Isn't this what you often advise others on the radio?
Now it's your turn to suffer the consequences, why don't you wake up? "
Ni Zhen's pupils suddenly contracted, and his anger instantly exploded. He kicked over the coffee table in front of him.
Crack, crack!
Things were broken into pieces all over the floor, and the wine and soup were all over the place.
Ni Zhen's chest rose and fell, like a wolf choosing its prey:
"I don't need you to tell me what to do! It's my freedom to choose!
So what if I want revenge?! So what if I continue to criticize Du Sheng? Are you unhappy?
Oh, I remembered it!
A few days ago I heard that Du Sheng invited you to join Miracle Records. Are you interested?"
"He just saw my influence in the past and wanted to invite me to make a comeback."
Zhou Huimin said in a deep voice:
"Several companies in Hong Kong have contacted me. It's not like you don't..."
Ni Zhen sneered and waved his hand to interrupt:
"That's right! He is now a popular superstar in the mainland, the boss of Star Media, and controls the fate of half of the entertainment industry. He is much better than a down-and-out loser like me!
Do you have a special liking for him now?
Isn't he planning to release an album for you? Isn't he interested in you?
Then you go take care of him! Maybe you can fool around together, and next year you will be Mrs. Du..."
Snapped!
With a crisp sound, a clear slap mark appeared on Ni Zhen's cheek.
"You really disappoint me!"
Zhou Huimin covered her mouth with her hands and burst into tears.
"Since we both hate each other, let's break up"
After saying that, she turned and left in extreme disappointment.
Ni Zhen showed a sickly twisted smile on his face, staring at the departing figure, and sneered:
"Care about me? Help me? You are just sympathizing with me and pitying me!
Who do you think you are? Do you think you have the right to influence my decision? "
Ni Zhen opened a can of beer, took a big gulp, and then threw the empty can to the ground.
Did he ever think of revenge?
Of course!
But the previous parties were unable to shake Du Sheng even after joining forces.
Now that the other party is stirring up the entire entertainment industry and enjoying great honors, what can he do as a single person?
I racked my brains but couldn't think of any effective solution, so I could only drink to drown my sorrows!
The more Zhou Huimin showed concern for him, the more Ni Zhen felt like a loser.
The feeling of being a lost dog and being ashamed is getting stronger and stronger!
As for breaking up?
He doesn't care.
Anyway, not the first time.
As long as I can make a comeback in the future, what can I lose?
With money and power, he can do anything.
Including revenge!
Ni Zhen suddenly thought of something, his eyes changed, and he looked towards the mainland again.
