Chapter 493: Are you trying to play tricks? I’m here to accompany you!

The name Du Sheng popped up in his mind, and Yang Qiukui couldn't help but snort coldly.

These reports came shortly after he questioned Star Media's casting and slammed Tong Liya.

Does the other party really value this little actor so much?
Want to clear her name?

Obviously, there is another reason behind this.

Most likely he wanted to use this incident to intimidate him!

In Yang Qinkui's view, given his status and position, no one would be stupid enough to offend him for an unknown artist.

Even a company like Komi Films would actively invite Xu Xiyuan to play the leading female role in order to make friends with him.

The reason why Star Media reacted so strongly was probably due to the follow-up of the previous "Coke beating incident" and the "casting controversy".

This clearly shows a lack of respect for him, and is even intended to make him lose all face!

"You want to play some tricks, right? I'll accompany you!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Yang Yukui's eyes.

Du Sheng is currently a well-known celebrity and owns several companies.

Ordinary people usually don't easily come into conflict with such people.

But as a top boss in both the black and white worlds of Bay City, how could he possibly tolerate this?

Even if we cannot send people to the mainland to kill the other party for the time being, it is easy to discredit the other party by using the media resources at hand.

.........

Jin Xiuli, who has returned to the company, is in a good mood.

I had a conversation with Yang Qiukui last night, and he obviously listened carefully.

As long as the other party stops dwelling on "Itazura na Kiss" and the casting change, there shouldn't be any further twists and turns after the crew wraps up and releases the film in a few days.

But before she could relax a bit, Director Liang from Comey Film and Television came to her door.

The other party is a permanent member of the crew. He usually doesn't interfere in other matters, but he will keep an eye on the filming process.

Both TVBS and Comey Media have similar roles.

The crew has now moved to the mainland for filming, and he must have made a special trip back.

In the past, when he saw Jin Xiuli, Director Liang always smiled, but today he was out of character and even had a hint of anger:
"Boss Jin, didn't you say that you had already calmed Yang Yukui down? Why is the situation getting worse and worse?"

Jin Xiuli was startled and asked in confusion:

"He promised everything last night, could it be that he went back on his word again?"

"If only it were that easy, look at this!"

Since Feng Jiarui was still in the intensive care unit, Cheng Yuxi had no time to take care of it, so all these matters fell on Director Liang.

Komi Films has invested so much money and put so much thought into this, so it certainly can't just watch this drama fail.

But what can he do when faced with this kind of fight between gods?
As he spoke, Director Liang handed a newspaper to Jin Xiuli.

Jin Xiuli felt uneasy and took the newspaper. The headline read:

"Yang Qunkui angrily rebuked, don't push your luck!"

After reading the first few paragraphs about "It Started with a Kiss", the next section is the interview record between the reporter and Yang Qiukui.

Jin Xiuli suddenly felt powerless and angry at the same time.

Yang Qiukui just finished discussing this with me last night, but he accepted an exclusive interview today, and it was obvious that he was targeting someone.

"...

Reporter: Mr. Yang, who are you referring to when you said "don't push your luck"?
Yang Qiukui: Some people in the mainland, thinking they have some fame and capital, start to be self-righteous and make indirect accusations everywhere!

Reporter: Can you talk about it in detail?

Yang Qiukui: Some third-rate newspapers previously said that I forced actors to film for extremely low pay, and even asked the artists to accompany me?
Haha, it’s such a joke!

Since I entered the entertainment industry, I have always abided by the law and done good deeds. How can this be slandered with just a few words?
Reporter: We are also relevant practitioners and agree with Mr. Yang’s views.

Yang Qiukui: It’s just like the casting of “It Started with a Kiss”. They didn’t choose such excellent Taiwanese artists as Lin Yichen and Xu Xiyuan recommended by Komi Films, but chose a newcomer. Isn’t this intentional revenge?
They want to cut off cooperation at every turn, and even stigmatize artists and refuse to select them. This is the kind of people I hate the most!

As a person, you should know yourself and do your duty well.

Don’t think that you can suppress and slander people just because you have a little money and power. I will never give in!
Reporter: Mr. Yang, I wonder who this person you are talking about?

Yang Yukui replied coldly:
I don’t want to mention names, some things only happen this time and never happen again, otherwise… hehe!”

Anyone can hear the threat in this.

When Jin Xiuli read this, she felt a chill in her heart.

Just as Director Liang said, if it was just targeting Tong Liya, it would be easy to deal with.

But any discerning person could see that Yang Yukui was preparing to confront Du Sheng across the river!

Although he did not call him by his name, all the characteristics he mentioned corresponded to Du Sheng.

If Yang Qiukui was simply dissatisfied with the casting, no matter how sharp his criticism was, Jin Xiuli might be able to mediate.

But directly threatening Du Sheng at this moment might even involve the use of force and assassination.

How can she mediate this?

At this moment, Jin Xiuli felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

The project "Itazura na Kiss" had the potential to make TVBS take off, but it also caused her a lot of trouble.

To be honest, Jin Xiuli really had the urge to give up and curse:
"I won't serve you anymore, you guys can do whatever you want!"

But it was precisely because of this commotion between these two people that the popularity of this drama skyrocketed.

Besides, now that most of the series has been filmed, how can she just sit there and do nothing?
Jin Xiuli gritted her teeth and tried to save the situation no matter what!
She knew that Yang Jukui was seeking to enter the officialdom, so she would not make a fuss about it for the time being.

Bada Media, President’s Office.

Yang Qiukui is browsing the newspaper.

When he saw his interview published in the newspaper, a smile appeared on his face, and the pent-up unhappiness in his heart seemed to be released.

"Boom boom boom!"

After hearing the secretary's report, Yang Yukui said casually:
"Come in."

He found that Jin Xiuli who came in was different from usual. Her face looked heavy and she no longer had her usual smile.

He was holding several newspapers tightly in his hands.

He already had an idea in mind, but still asked with a smile:

"Xiu Li, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Jin Xiuli sighed and raised the newspaper in her hand:
"Mr. Yang, didn't we agree on this last night?"

Yang Yukui looked calm and said:
"Did I mention Tong Liya again? This is just an ordinary personal interview."

Jin Xiuli heard his disapproving tone and said with a wry smile:
"Mr. Yang, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me directly.

But TVBS, Komi Films and Star Media are partners after all, so there is no need to make a big fuss and let outsiders laugh at it.”

Yang Yukui put away his smile and his expression turned cold:

"You should know the reason. If he wants to stop here, then this won't happen again."

Jin Xiuli didn't want to provoke this big crocodile. If it bit her, it would be no joke.

She organized her words and said:
"In that case, can we arrange a time to sit down and talk?"

Yang Yukui sneered and looked at her coldly:
"What are we talking about? Let Du beg me?

If he hadn't become more restrained due to his age, do you think he would be able to leave Bay City intact next time he comes?"

As he spoke, Yang Yukui threw a pile of newspapers in front of Jin Xiuli and said sternly:
“Look for yourself how I’m reported?

He was arrested three times for operating an underground casino and selling flour, manipulated the stock market, monopolized the film and television industry, used his power to withhold actors' pay, and even asked artists to provide inappropriate services.

And you're digging up those trivial things from my past and making fun of me?

What does this mean? Expose my shortcomings? Disgrace me so that I can't be elected as a member of parliament?

This is a blow to my face, do you really think I am too old to have a temper?"

Jin Xiuli did not read yesterday's newspaper carefully, but from Yang Yunkui's words, she could roughly guess what had happened.

It was nothing more than what Du Sheng had said before, to help Tong Liya restore her reputation.

Although these are all facts, they undoubtedly damaged Yang Qiukui's reputation.

Let Du Sheng apologize to Yang Qiukui?
Jin Xiuli knew very well that she did not have that much face.

Besides, Du Sheng may have already known about this, and I don’t know how he will react.

Damn it, just take your time and have fun!

If I continue to care about these trivial matters, I'd be a dog.

As long as "It Started with a Kiss" can be successfully filmed and released, the two parties can do whatever they want!

.........

"You said I was pushing my luck and you're going to make me give up next time?"

Du Sheng looked at the interview content of Yang Qiukui in the newspaper in his hand and sneered in his heart.

Haha, then I’ll let you see my skills!
Du Sheng then called Wang Jinhua and Ye Jingzhi.

"There is an urgent task that requires your help.

Collect some background information on Yang Xuankui, especially his history of transformation and cleansing himself, as well as any illegal means he used.

In addition, I also need all the relevant information about him and Xu Xiyuan, including the gossip."

Wang Jinhua asked in surprise:
"Yang Yukui's evil methods?"

Only a few people in Bay City know about Yang Qiukui's dark history in the 1970s and 1980s, and the specific details are not widely known.

Moreover, the other party began to transform into the entertainment industry in the 1990s, hiding his identity as a gang leader and transforming himself into a media tycoon.

Wang Jinhua naturally didn't know much about this.

"That's right. If you can't find it in Bay City, you can go to Hong Kong. He invested in a lot of dramas back then."

Du Sheng smiled playfully and said:
"For example, in The Emperor's Disciple, some people pointed a gun at Liu Dehua to take the role. You will understand once you collect the information."

Wang Jinhua nodded to show her understanding. Du Sheng looked at the curious Ye Jingzhi and said meaningfully:

"Xiao Ye, have someone contact Fuji TV. I heard that Yang Yukui and Xu Xiyuan, the daughter of the old man, are having a great time in Japan."

After Kawa Sakurako learned about the situation here last night, she excitedly sent me some large-scale photos, saying that they were submissions received by her reporters.

This is just the right arrangement.

Ye Jingzhi understood immediately, thought for a moment and said:
"My Ye family has some connections in Bay City, do you want to -"

"Not for the time being."

Du Sheng shook his head. He might make a big move next and didn’t want the Ye family to be implicated, otherwise it would be difficult to get rid of it later.

Ye Jingzhi knew that the man had an idea in mind, so she nodded and said:

"Starting the day after tomorrow, 'House of Flying Daggers' will start a roadshow in Guangzhou, Moscow, Hangzhou, Beijing and other places. You can prepare yourself."

As the film's release approaches, publicity has been overwhelming in recent times.

The words "House of Flying Daggers" will be released during summer vacation can be seen everywhere, including on television, bus stations, roadside billboards, and the four major online social platforms.

As the leading actor, Du Sheng naturally cooperated with the publicity and promotion and reposted the official announcement on major platforms.

Of course, the most grand thing is that the drama will premiere at the Beijing Grand Auditorium on June 6!

Zhang Yimou's network of contacts can be said to be far-reaching.

Du Sheng nodded and asked a few more questions before ending the topic.

Watching the two of them leave, his eyes darkened:

'Next time you go to Bay City, you won't be able to leave in one piece?'

"Very well, I want to see how you can make me never come back!"

It just so happens that the publicity and promotion has enough exposure, which can completely cover up some things.

.........

Time passes by quietly without us noticing.

In the past few days, due to continuous heavy rains in Wancheng, there was even serious waterlogging on the roads, and Yang Yukui hardly left his house.

This kind of weather made him feel very inconvenient and even a little irritated.

Fortunately, the rain came and went quickly.

This morning, when Yang Qiukui woke up, he found that the sky had cleared up again.

Just as he was about to enjoy the rare good weather, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door, breaking the silence.

"Who?"

Yang Yukui asked with a frown.

"Fuck, it's me!"

A familiar voice came from outside the door.

When Yang Yankui opened the door, he saw Xu Xiyuan, who looked pale and very anxious.

"What does it look like in a panic?"

Yang Yukui couldn't help but criticize.

"Fuck, I..."

Xu Xiyuan held a newspaper tightly in his hand, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

She felt something was wrong when she saw the content in the newspaper, but when she came to Yang Qiukui, she didn't dare to show him the newspaper directly.

"What happened?"

Yang Yukui asked further.

Xu Xiyuan said cautiously:
"Someone...someone is spreading rumors about you..."

She didn't say her own was among them.

But compared to what Gandia did, my own things were not worth mentioning at all.

Seeing Xu Xiyuan's expression, Yang Yukui stopped asking questions and directly took a few newspapers from her.

What caught my eye was a striking title:

"Shocking! Revealing the true evil deeds of underworld boss Yang Yukui!"

《Three views exploded! It turns out that this is the relationship between a man who is a bitch and a daughter, large-scale exposure! JPG. Picture》

"God is watching what you do. It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet!"

The moment he saw the first title, Yang Qiukui's heart beat faster.

[Recently, according to an in-depth investigation by a reporter from Metropolis Entertainment News.

During the movie boom in the 1990s, when Taiwan's film tycoon Yang Kuikui invested in making films in Hong Kong, in order to obtain maximum profits, he joined forces with Hong Kong societies and took extreme measures on many occasions to force actors to submit.

The famous actor Liu Dehua was once visited by his people with guns, with a gun pointed at his agent's head, and forced to act in the film "The Emperor's Disciple". Jpg. Picture 1
Wen Bixia also encountered similar threats and was forced to shoot the movie "The Dragon Horse Club" at gunpoint. The other party claimed that "either shoot or die"! Jpg. Picture 2
In addition, Yang Qiukui used his underworld power in Wancheng to force actors to film for extremely low pay.

Including well-known artists such as Xiao and Su, no one dared to speak out, and he used this to earn huge profits from investors.

The Tiandi Alliance, as the umbrella for their power, is a den of snakes and rats. Not only do they do all kinds of evil things, they even break into the film set to steal the film and force other crews to abandon their filming plans in order to achieve the purpose of monopoly.

What is even more outrageous is that Yang Qunkui also operated an underground casino, sold noodles, manipulated stocks, and was suspected of eight shootings...

Previously, he smashed the crew of "It Started with a Kiss" to demand protection money, and sent dead rats to Tong Liya and other artists to threaten them. These behaviors are just the tip of the iceberg of his many evil deeds. Jpg. Picture 3
Despite such heinous crimes, how could Yang Qiukui still remain safe and sound as the tycoon of Bay City?
The reason is that he has been spending a lot of money to bribe some members of the Bay City Congress, and he has been colluding with the upper and lower levels...

Recently, he has also tried to clean up his image so that he can enter the official career.

It is really sad and lamentable that a person who has committed so many evil deeds can actually become a guest of honor in some people in Bay City. 】

“Crack!”

Yang Yukui's face turned pale and he tore the newspaper into pieces.

He didn't expect that those past events that had been forgotten for more than ten years would now be unearthed again.

What shocked him even more was that his and Xu Xiyuan's ambiguous behavior in Neon some time ago was secretly photographed and reported.

"Wang Badan, how dare he!"

Yang Yukui was so angry that his fingers were shaking.

He knew very well that these reports came from the mainland and were most likely the work of Star Media.

There are quite a few opponents cooperating here.

Otherwise, it would never happen under my nose.

When I thought about the ugly things I had suppressed with so much difficulty, they were spreading like this and even affected my chances of getting into politics...

Yang Yukui's face suddenly turned purple, he felt heart pain, and his whole body began to spasm.

"Fuck! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me——"

Xu Xiyuan, who was standing aside anxiously, was shocked when he saw Yang Qinkui suddenly fall down holding his heart.

Heart attack!
Her scalp tingled, and she quickly went to get medicine and called her bodyguard to arrange for her to go to the hospital.

At the same time, the relevant newspaper reports quickly spread on the Internet and in real life because they were too eye-catching and large-scale.

Bay City, next to a park.

"Tsk tsk, this pair of cute girls are really good at playing!"

"I have to say, this Xu Xiyuan is really noisy! Could he have been on a sugar rush?"

"He can do something so evil. I can only say that Yang Yukui has a weird hobby."

"Big and small sisters, come on both sides, what does it matter if there are black spots? I give it to you, but you don't want it?"

Many people are gossiping about the related news enthusiastically.

An old man put down the newspaper, shook his head and sighed:
"It's true that good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years!"

"Yes, Yang Yukui has done so many bad things over the years, but he is still at large. It's really unbearable."

"We strongly demand that he be brought to justice and justice be done to everyone!"

As the report spread, social media exploded.

Various expressions of anger, shock, and sympathy are intertwined together to form a force of public opinion that cannot be ignored.

Soon, related news became a hot search on Renren, Tieba and other websites.

"Holy shit! Is this true?"

"Pictures speak louder than words, what do you think?"

"It's totally lawless! Yang Yukui is simply a devil!!"

"It's horrible. Although I thought there were a lot of shady things going on in the entertainment industry, I didn't expect it to be this serious."

"Those big stars were also forced into this state by these demons? It's unbelievable."

"Why wasn't it exposed before? Could it really be possible to cover up the truth?"

"Didn't you see the report about the collusion between the Bay City council members? What's so surprising about this?"

"I think we can't just sit there and do nothing. We should take some action to let more people know about this and let Yang Yankui receive the punishment he deserves!"

Mainland netizens also began to express indignation and forwarded the message to attract more attention.

As events unfolded, people's anger and discontent slowly converged into a torrent.

With Star Media behind the scenes pushing this news, attention to this news is increasing at an explosive rate.

Although everyone cannot interfere, at least the seeds of justice have been planted in everyone's heart.

Sooner or later, punishment from heaven will come.

After listening to the report, Du Sheng looked thoughtful.

As the saying goes, be a good person to the end and see the Buddha to the west.

This seems to be a good way to make up for it...
