Chapter 1896 Irony

At this point, the news that Jiasheng Media expelled Hong Kong actors from the crew also became a hot topic in Hong Kong.

On TV, in newspapers, and on websites, it was like an explosion.

One after another, actors, especially those who had plans to develop in the north in the near future, or to make money, were completely angry.

This move by Jiasheng Media can be said to have completely disrupted their plans. Even if their financial resources were temporarily cut off, they were so angry that they did not consider Feng Yiping's strength and criticized and accused Feng Yiping.

But at least these people still maintained some rationality. They knew that although Feng Yiping's influence on Hong Kong was naturally not as deep as that of local wealthy families such as the Four Great Families, it was always not to be underestimated anyway, so their criticism was still restrained.

To be more straightforward, they said that Feng Yiping was nitpicking and showing off, and to be more tactful, they said that his move was too arbitrary and would affect the cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and the mainland.

It's not that no one stood on Feng Yiping's side.

Several journalists and university professors suggested that everyone should reflect on themselves first, and let the artists think about whether they can accept such a model if they are in the same situation.

Some scholars also have the same view as Feng Yiping, that is, from the perspective of professionalism, when you go to a crew that mainly speaks Mandarin, should you take the initiative to learn Mandarin?

It has been more than 8 years since the return. As an entertainment industry that has relatively more exchanges with the mainland and pays more and more attention to the mainland market, it is still normal that people would rather learn English than Mandarin?

In comparison, the difficulty of learning Mandarin is always lower than English. At least you can understand a lot and recognize a lot of simplified Chinese characters.

But at such a moment, such rational questioning was quickly drowned out by the surging voices.

Don’t you think about it, is Mandarin so easy to learn?

The key is that you can choose not to learn it, but because of you, Feng Yiping, you have to learn it now. Why?

Although this wave of opposition seems to be turbulent, people in the industry can see at a glance that it actually has no weight.

The most fiercely opposed ones were those TV celebrities, who were only second-tier or lower TV actors in the Hong Kong TV circle, and they were the most active at this time.

They were very self-aware. Since they would probably not have any business dealings with Forex in the future, what was there to worry about? They just took the opportunity to show their faces more.

But those celebrities, such as those who debuted as singers and later became actors, and had a large number of fans in the mainland, all remained silent at this time.

First of all, many of them had developed the mainland market very early and realized this problem very early. They had learned a little bit, at least when they were interviewed, they could speak Mandarin.

Besides, the top ones among them had a deep connection with Feng Yiping and had a good relationship with him. Why were they so anxious to stand up?

Secondly, they knew very well that they would at least be qualified to cooperate with Forex in the future. If they stood up and clearly expressed their opposition at this time, it would be tantamount to cutting off their own financial resources.

And they could also understand the main views of the mainland on this matter. Obviously, the mainstream was supportive.

If they stand up and oppose, it is possible that some fans who originally liked them would change their minds, which is another way to cut off their own financial resources.

At present, no organization has responded to this issue, including TVB where Song Huiyi is, which is still silent at this time.

If an ordinary company in the mainland did such a thing, TVB would naturally not be so calm.

The problem is that it is now certain that Feng Yiping instructed the person in charge of Jiasheng Media to make such a decision, that is, if they oppose it, they are naturally against Feng Yiping.

Opposing Feng Yiping, they really feel a little sorry.

Moreover, as a company, they still have to take care of their face when speaking. It is not good to say that I went to the mainland to film with high pay, but I just don’t learn Mandarin. It is reasonable.

However, the decision that does not restrict its artists from opposing Feng Yiping can actually explain their attitude.

It can be said that TVB, which is directly related, did not speak, and other organizations are even less likely to stand up and express their attitude at this time.

If they stand up, they will have to face Feng Yiping.

At this time, the reaction of the Hong Kong people to this matter is relatively calm.

At this time, Hong Kong's economy was still good. People from the mainland who traveled freely and people from the mainland who bought properties in Hong Kong brought them a lot of practical benefits.

The most important thing is that at this time, the income of Hong Kong people was generally higher than that of mainland people.

Shenzhen, the first-tier city in the mainland closest to Hong Kong, has made great progress at this time, but its GDP is still far behind Hong Kong.

In many aspects related to competitiveness, Shenzhen is also far behind Hong Kong.

Even though Shenzhen is now transforming from a low-end manufacturing base to a high-tech field, and has already achieved very impressive performance in the fields of Internet, telecommunications, biotechnology, etc., it has not reached the height it later.

This gives them a general psychological advantage when facing the mainland, so they can look at issues related to the mainland with a higher attitude.

Most people regard this as a fun thing, and some people even laugh and say that this is just right, so that those stars that everyone likes don't go to the mainland to film.

The only thing that caused some waves was that some students in some schools in Hong Kong made some more extreme and irrational voices regarding this matter.

They believe that this is a manifestation of the mainland's suppression of Hong Kong's freedom.

They then called on supporters to oppose Feng Yiping and boycott Feng Yiping's company.

As long as people jump out at such a time, no matter what their motives are, and no matter whether there is someone or an organization behind them to give guidance, they are still very clear-headed on some key things.

The central government and the mainland have always been generous to them, so they can object, but the Western representatives, mainly the United States and Britain, especially cannot offend them at such a time.

Therefore, they definitely dare not boycott the businesses of Feng Yiping's companies in the United States. Otherwise, if Facebook or YouTube in the United States protest and the U.S. Consulate in Hong Kong intervenes, their opposition will probably end in vain.

Feng Jiachong.

As expected, Zhou Ning's interview could only go so far, because Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping could no longer care about them at this time.

Besides, since his son is back, how can he tell his embarrassing things in front of him?

Mei Qiuping had too many things to say to her son.

Is it like what Zheng Jiayi said, that the show being filmed will make everyone like him more?

Yesterday I had dinner at Huang Jingping's house. Did his parents mention their marriage? Did they meet Huang Jingping and their children on the way home?

But in front of so many people, she finally just asked as usual, "Are you tired? Are you hungry?"

"I'm not tired or hungry," Feng Yiping asked her with a smile, "Isn't my home just preparing my meal?"

"How could it happen?" Feng Zhenchang said. "After receiving the call from Jiayi, I informed the company that the restaurant was preparing."

"Everyone, take a rest first and have dinner at my house at noon," he said to the people on the TV station.

"Thank you," Zhou Ning thanked her while wondering, did Feng Yiping and his parents just happen to be interviewed together? But something happened to meet Feng Yiping. A girl, who seemed to be Feng Yiping's main assistant, hurried over and said, "Hello, uncle and aunt,"

"Oh, Xiao Wu, are you okay? If you need something, go upstairs."

Wu Qian whispered something to Feng Yiping, and Feng Yiping smiled and said to Zhou Ning, "Sorry, I have some things to deal with, Jiayi, take care of CCTV's distinguished guests,"

In fact, Zheng Jiayi had already approached Zhou Ning without waiting for his instructions, "Would you like me to take everyone to the most suitable place to take a panoramic view of the village?"

What else could happen? Zhou Ningxin said.

Of course, she was quite satisfied at this time. After all, they were the first program in China to successfully interview Feng Yiping's parents.

Although the study room upstairs is small and rarely used, every time Feng Yiping comes back, it is kept very clean and tidy. Needless to say, it was naturally prepared by his mother.

He connected the computer to the Internet cable, "You mean, there are many activists from Hong Kong schools using our Facebook to launch activities against me?"

"Yes, there are some inflammatory videos about this, including on YouTube," Wu Qian couldn't help but laugh.

This can be said to be really ironic.

"This really makes people speechless," Feng Yiping shook his head and smiled.

"Tell me, is it possible that they want to use this method to test us? Will they close their accounts?"

"Even if they are shut down, they can't seem to do anything. I can see the faces of these people clearly," Wu Qian said with some disdain, "These people want to attract the attention of certain parties through such things, or have become pawns. , Guys who can gain a future for themselves may not even care about their parents and ancestors, but they will never do anything that would surprise friendly countries like the United States and Britain."

"So whether it's Facebook or YouTube, even if measures are taken against them, they dare not speak out,"

"But don't take any measures and just let them be," Feng Yiping said. "What can they do?"

"Oh, I'll tell Cummins directly," he turned on the computer and prepared to write an email.

“So, what part of our business did they ultimately choose to boycott?”

"What other choice is there, it can only be our hotel," Wu Qian said.

They have no way to boycott Li Ruiyuan's financial company, because that company only needs a platform like Hong Kong and does not provide services to the outside world.

As for "Frontier" magazine, first of all, they students have never been subscribers; secondly, it is impossible for them to persuade those companies in Hong Kong to boycott "Frontier" magazine, because there is a lot of very useful advice and theory in it, and it is also a Companies that are interested in improving the quality of their products hope to use this advertising platform.

In the end, even if they can convince all subscribers in Hong Kong to boycott Frontier Magazine, it doesn't matter. Frontier Magazine has long been a very successful international publication, and the business in Hong Kong really means nothing.

In the end, it can only be the Holiday Inn Hotel in Hong Kong.

"But, if I remember correctly, aren't the customers of our Hong Kong hotel mainly tourists from the mainland traveling to Hong Kong independently?"

"Yes," Wu Qian said with a smile, "So their so-called boycott is just a farce."

Feng Yiping was too lazy to worry about this matter anymore. He wrote a brief email to Cummins, "Is there anything else?"

Wu Qian flipped through her notebook, "There is one more thing. The Hong Kong Performing Artists Association, consisting of a vice president, a secretary general, and several directors, has arrived in the capital. They contacted the office immediately and made an appointment to meet with you,"

Feng Yiping said immediately, "No, if necessary, let Mr. Chen meet with them,"

…………

At this time, the team that rushed here has already checked into the Grand Hyatt Hotel and is meeting with Song Huiyi and others, including the young man surnamed Liu.

As for the senior Mr. Tang, he is the only one who asked Shangguan Qiufang to help him buy a return ticket to Hong Kong.

"Miss Song, do you know that your press conference has put us in a very passive position now?" The representatives of the association did not have a good face for the initiator of this incident.

They knew the purpose of Song Huiyi's doing this, so they were particularly angry.

You did get your wish and became famous in the mainland, but what you did pitted too many people.

"I had no choice but to do this," Song Huiyi said, "We have also been paying attention to the subsequent developments. At least in the past two days, no crew has followed Jiasheng's approach."

"That's because no crew can accept additional losses like Jiasheng," said the secretary-general who came with the vice president.

"I heard from some friends that in the past two days, the mainland crews and our Hong Kong artists are still discussing co-production," Song Huiyi tried to prove that what she did did not cause any losses or inconvenience to her peers.

"Yes, some mainland crews did not necessarily require our artists to speak Mandarin, but they made other requirements. They asked to reduce the salaries of artists who could not speak Mandarin," the vice president said very angrily.
