Chapter 783: Disgraced China?
783
The southeast side of Shudian Film and Television City.
Martin held his stomach, sat on the chair, and said, "We must make Xu Taiping pay the price. We can't just let it go. He kicked me, and I must take revenge!"
"Director!" the assistant director on the side said in a low voice, "We can call the police. There are so many people watching his beating. The police must take care of it. Although he will not be sentenced, a person who is causing trouble will definitely not be able to escape. And you It's a well-known director. If he beats you, it will have a bad impact on society. The police will definitely have to detain that guy!"
"Really?!" Martin looked at his assistant director in surprise and said, "Do your Chinese police really care about this matter?"
"Yes, your identity is there, they have to control it even if they don't want to. In addition, I suggest that you immediately join the media just now and accuse Xu Taiping on the Internet, saying that he is a gangster or something. Anyway, you can discredit him, so If it does, it will also ruin their play. Although it will bring them a certain degree of popularity, it is not a good name!" said the assistant director.
"Okay, just do what you say and call the police immediately. In addition, immediately let the media report about Xu Taiping's beating of me. I must make sure that this bullshit "Tian Xing" movie cannot be filmed. I must also let Then Xu Taiping, go to jail! Bastard!" Martin roared angrily.
The assistant director nodded, then turned and left.
Meal.
Xu Taiping, Guo Yunpeng, Zhao Bigan, director Chen Mao, leading actor and actress Ding Zonglei, Lian Ying, an assistant director, Zhao Xiaohua and others sat at the same dining table.
Although Xu Taiping was a newcomer to the industry, he was an investor, so he sat in the main seat. Guo Yunpeng, a producer, sat next to Xu Taiping, and then Ding Zonglei sat on the other side of Xu Taiping.
Speaking of big names, Ding Zonglei can be said to be the biggest actor in the entire crew, even bigger than Chen Mao. Therefore, in a private dinner like this, Ding Zonglei's seat is better than that of the director. Of course, the director Sitting on the other side of Guo Yunpeng, judging from the position, he is not much different from Ding Zonglei.
Further out are the assistant director and Lian Ying, and then Zhao Xiaohua and Zhao Bigan.
For the father and daughter, Zhao Bigan is the cleaner and Zhao Xiaohua is the second female lead. Their identities are not visible here. Although Xu Taiping is familiar with them, in this situation, the hierarchy must be clearly distinguished. If Zhao Xiaohua sits next to Xu Taiping, it will be equivalent to lowering the status of the director and other leading actors. This will not be conducive to the subsequent filming. Only those investors who think they have invested some money will be the largest investors in the world. When something like this happens, Xu Taiping is a person who sticks to the rules, so tonight he is just having a casual meal and everything must be done according to the rules.
Although the seating arrangement was very particular, everyone at the dinner table was still relatively casual. A group of people were eating and drinking together. Xu Taiping even specially talked to Chen Mao about some of his opinions on movies.
Chen Mao originally thought that Xu Taiping was just an upstart with some money, but he didn't expect that after these few words, Xu Taiping's understanding and appreciation of movies exceeded his imagination, especially Xu Taiping's most recent One of my favorite movies is "The Godfather", which is also Chen Mao's favorite movie.
The two seemed to hate each other for having met so late. Chen Mao grabbed Xu Taiping and drank a lot of wine.
Only Zhao Xiaohua was the quietest at the dinner table. Apart from talking to Zhao Bigan from time to time, she would sit quietly and eat at other times. Occasionally, she would take the wine glass when everyone was drinking together. It seemed that Xu Taiping's words today had seriously hurt her. self-esteem.
Although Lian Ying is a young person in the entertainment industry, she still has a very deep understanding of the entertainment industry. As a second female lead, Zhao Xiaohua was able to appear on such an occasion, and she even dared not to curry favor with the producers and investors. It was very surprising. It was obvious that Zhao Xiaohua was definitely an investor, but what made Lian Ying very strange was, why was Zhao Xiaohua so low-key? If you don't say you want to please others, you should at least show some enthusiasm, right?
As a veteran in the entertainment industry, Ding Zonglei also saw Zhao Xiaohua's problems, but he acted very calmly. As a veteran in the entertainment industry, he knew that there were some things that he should know and some things that he shouldn't know. This is why he can become a domestic celebrity. One of the main reasons why he is a super A-list male star.
While Xu Taiping and others were eating and drinking, the news about Xu Taiping's beating, under the manipulation of some people, directly made the front page headlines of major entertainment news!
Everyone who saw this news was dumbfounded. An international director was beaten up in Shudian Film and Television City? And the person who hit him was an investor in another movie?
Which investor is this, so awesome? Do you even dare to fight against a major international director?
The power of the Internet is terrifying. It didn't take long for Xu Taiping's identity to be revealed.
Only then did everyone know that the investor who beat him was called Xu Taiping, and he was the boss of a large company called Pacific Group. As for why he beat him, there are many versions on the Internet. For example, Xu Taiping once invited Martin to film The movie was rejected by Martin, so he beat Martin. Another example is that Xu Taiping wanted to boost the popularity of the upcoming movie "Tianxing" that he invested in, so he beat Martin at that time. Some people said , Xu Taiping was from the underworld and wanted to collect protection fees from Shudian Film and Television City, so he approached Martin, the most famous director in Shudian Film and Television City at present.
In short, there are all kinds of rumors, and at this time, many people in the entertainment industry who want to curry favor with Martin have come forward. Everyone has criticized Xu Taiping's ugly behavior, and at the same time, they also hope that the entire entertainment industry can boycott Xu Taiping. Movies made by scumbags.
Of course, there are also some more rational people who hope that the local police can investigate the cause and effect. However, in this entertainment industry, there are still many people who want to curry favor with international directors. Therefore, the rational speeches of these rational people will soon be dismissed. The wave of boycotts against Xu Taiping was overwhelmed.
Xu Taiping and others, who were still eating and drinking at this time, had no time to care about these things, because just when they were halfway eating and drinking, the door of Xu Taiping's private room was suddenly opened rudely.
Several policemen walked in from outside the door.
"Which one of you just hit someone!?" A stout policeman in the lead asked as he looked around at the people present.
Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows, stood up with a smile and said, "I fought."
"You hit someone and you're still drinking here so leisurely? Come with me!" said the stout policeman.
"I really called the police." Xu Taiping said jokingly, "Police, I just kicked him. I was just acting in self-defense for everyone else, so I didn't need to enter the police station, right?"
"Don't you know who you beat?" The stout policeman frowned and said, "That's an international director. What you're doing is embarrassing the face of us Chinese people. Do you know that?"
"I really don't know anymore!" Xu Taiping looked at the other party coldly and said, "Why did I lose the face of the Chinese people? I hit the foreigners, so I lost the face of the Chinese people? We Chinese people were beaten by foreigners. Why haven’t you heard from foreigners’ countries that foreigners have disgraced their country? I can disgrace my country just by getting into a fight. Isn’t this really looking down on me?”
"Don't you know that he is a great international director?" the stout policeman said with a dark face, "Who are you going to hit, but a great international director? When they spread this matter to the international community, everyone thought that we in China were a Isn’t this a barbaric place that doesn’t respect the law? Isn’t this an embarrassment to China? Stop talking nonsense and come with me!”
"If China's face can be tarnished by a big director, then China's face is too worthless. I'm coming with you. I want to see what you can do to me after I kicked someone. Like!" After Xu Taiping finished speaking, he looked at Guo Yunpeng and others and said, "You guys drink here while I go to the police station."
"Comrade police, I think there must be some misunderstanding. It was the foreigner who provoked me first!" Guo Yunpeng explained.
"You all shut up, eat your food and drink your wine, we will handle this matter." said the policeman.
"This police officer, I am Chen Mao. I can testify that it was the other party who provoked me first!" Chen Mao stood up and said.
"I can prove it too!" Ding Zonglei also stood up and said.
"Oh, since you can all prove it, how about you all come to the station with me?" the stout policeman asked teasingly.
Entering the police station is a very big deal for any public figure. If one mistake is not made, the persona will easily collapse. Ding Zonglei hesitated and sat down. However, Chen Mao did not. He said seriously, "I am willing to testify for Mr. Xu!"
"Mr. Xu? It seems that you have an interest relationship? Then your testimony is useless. You all stay here honestly. This is not a big deal. At most, you will be detained for a few days. Don't make the matter a big deal. Who will face it then? They don’t look good!” After the stout policeman finished speaking, he looked at Xu Taiping and said, “Let’s go?”
"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded, and then followed the other person out of the box.
"Mr. Guo, what should we do about this matter? Do you want me to find a friend?!" Chen Mao asked with concern.
"No need." Guo Yunpeng shook his head. He knew Xu Taiping's energy. He was a master who casually ignored hundreds of millions. Would such a person be easy to bully?
Thinking of this, Guo Yunpeng smiled and said to Chen Mao, "Director Chen, Lao Ding, you two stepped forward to help Mr. Xu just now. You stood up well. You will definitely not regret this stop."
"What do you say?" Chen Mao and Ding Zonglei looked at Guo Yunpeng in confusion.
"Mr. Xu's energy is much greater than you can imagine. If Martin wants to deal with Mr. Xu, the end result will be his own misfortune. Just watch." Guo Yunpeng said, picking up the He picked up the wine glass on the table and said, "Let's drink. Wait a moment, and Mr. Xu will be back!"
Everyone here, except Zhao Bigan and Zhao Xiaohua, was a little confused. They really didn’t know how capable Xu Taiping was!
