Chapter 515: The Dust Has Settled
After sitting quietly for an unknown amount of time, she called Chen Gaoshun's phone like crazy.
No one hung up on her this time.
"Editor-in-Chief Chen!" She snorted and cried, "Why are you ......?"
"How do we?! How are we what?! Do you know how much pressure we're under because of you?! How many sins Lao Tzu has suffered! Chen Gaoshun's voice was even more furious than hers, almost roaring, "Lao Tzu is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself!" What more do you want! ”
"I shouldn't have promised you stupid pig in the first place!"
After scolding, Chen Gaoshun smashed the phone with a "snap".
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Zhou Yuesheng was stunned.
Immediately, she tried to call everyone she knew, but all of them didn't answer, or they just hung up.
"How can this be ......"
In the afternoon of the same day, the three major ministries finally spoke out, and did not explain much about this matter, first saying that they would once again plan in detail the various rights and obligations of the artists.
Then, it was the young spokesman who said word by word, "The Chinese film and television department will never tolerate the initiator of the matter!" ”
Everything, even the last doubts, became clear because of the appearance of the three major departments.
Two days later, the official trial of the Beijing court dawned, and Huayi jointly accused the artist Zhou Yuesheng of defamation and unjust enrichment.
The scene was full of reporters, and even many fans who relied on their connections to go in to observe.
"Slut!" "Slut!" "Vixen!" Zhou Yuesheng, whose face was pale and bloodshot, and who seemed to have turned into a pink skeleton in a few days, almost walked to his position in the scolding all the way.
There is almost no need to judge the case, the evidence is conclusive, Zhou Yuesheng is so poor that he can only afford a lawyer, and the dust has settled without the slightest struggle.
"Artist Zhou Yuesheng." The judge glanced at everyone present, and his voice was calm, "Slandering artist and director Lin Xiao and slandering director Feng Xiaogang, the circumstances are particularly serious, and according to Article 246 of the Criminal Law, he will be sentenced to two years and six months in prison." ”
"Whoa," almost all of the people present applauded softly.
Zhou Yuesheng was like a leaf falling in the wind, and her whole body kept swaying.
She had never felt so cold, cold to the bone.
Remorse, unwillingness, scraped her heart like two knives.
"Artist Zhou Yuesheng. Because the amount of unjust enrichment is huge, and it cannot be returned if refused, it constitutes the crime of embezzlement, and the circumstances are particularly serious, and he is sentenced to two years imprisonment in accordance with article 270 of the Criminal Law. ”
"Boom!" The gavel struck lightly on the table, "The penalty for both crimes is four years and six months in prison." ”
The judge glanced majestically at the audience, "Execute immediately." ”
"Take it down!"
Just when the two bailiffs grabbed Zhou Yuesheng's arm, she suddenly seemed to wake up from a dream, struggled desperately, and screamed.
"I was wrong! I was really wrong! I repent! I beg you to ...... Please give me a chance! I...... I will never again! Never again!! Woowoo woo ......"
Tears of remorse poured out of her eyes in an instant, and she screamed like madness with her hair distributed.
"I shouldn't be greedy! I was wrong! Artists just have to do their duty...... Me, I...... I really shouldn't use someone else as a stepping stone...... Please, everyone! Mr. Judge! I beg you! Give me another chance! ”
"Hmph. Now know that it's wrong? In the auditorium, an old man snorted coldly, "Wasn't it very majestic some time ago?" ”
"I will never believe her tears in my life!" The person next to him also sneered: "Please? Regret? Did it work? If it works, there is still a crime to talk about? What do you want a court for? ”
In the midst of her high-pitched crying, she burst into tears and was escorted down by two bailiffs.
In the evening of the same day, the next day's magazines and newspapers all had front page headlines, drawing an end to this incident of the artist's spring purchase that came out of the country and was noted.
"This morning, Zhou Yuesheng was sentenced to nearly five years in prison."
"Five years behind bars will make her repent. and reminded the remaining artists to do their duty and distinguish what should be done and what should not be done. ”
"Killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, the little king and the famous director have taken action, once again proving their influence!"
In the whole incident, Lin Xiao did not show his face once, and this storm of public opinion that lasted for nearly two weeks came and went even more suddenly.
The relevant personnel were almost all dug up, and the eyes of the remaining reporters were all fixed on Pingshan County.
Therefore, when the blood-colored romantic crew appeared, the Pingshan County station was flooded and blocked!
Red star, scandal, end! Either word, it's definitely worth an interview.
"Mr. Lin! What do you think of Zhou Yuesheng? "Mr. Lin, has this incident done any damage to your reputation?" How are you going to make it up? "Mr. Lin, will something similar happen in the future?" "Mr. Lin......"
Looking at the dense crowd of people outside the window, the noisy shouts, even the police were dispatched, and even his fans in Pingshan County were blocked. Lin Xiao sighed.
"Stop."
"Huh?" The driver was stunned, and Yao Shengyuan hurriedly said anxiously, "Mr. Lin, you can't stop!" How long do you have to deal with so many reporters! ”
"Don't worry, I've got it." Lin Xiao finished speaking calmly, waited for the car to stop, opened the door and got out of the car.
The moment he opened the door and walked down, hundreds of flashing lights lit up at the same time, and the sky was reflected white.
And countless shouted "Mr. Lin......" and "Mr. Lin." The sound is almost noisy ears are bursting with stars. Microphones, like guns, reached out in front of him and automatically approached his mouth.
Lin Xiao raised his hand and pressed it, as if it had magic power, and within a minute, all the voices were lowered.
"I am personally outraged by this incident." He looked around at the reporters who had already found out their pens, notebooks, and DVDs, and their faces were full of excitement, and said, "In the final analysis, it is the imperfection of the legal system and the ignorance of some cultural hooligans that have led to this social phenomenon." ”
"However, it is a wake-up call for us, and a wake-up call for all artists. Artists must use the right means, otherwise the law is ruthless! ”
"At the time of the incident, I didn't say anything. Why? ”
He looked at everyone's eyes, and everyone had excitement in their eyes.
But the next sentence surprised them.
"Because I'm shooting a new film, blood is romantic, and I've reached the process of shooting smoothly. In addition, I also prepared a script and invited Director Feng to shoot it. ”
"Wow!" The reporters were suddenly boiling.
Bloody romance, they know it, but they actually quietly came up with a movie script for Feng Xiaogang to make?!
Although this was a turning point, the reporters took it.
"Director Lin! What kind of film is it?! "Director Lin! Have you circled the artist? "Mr. Lin, will you star in person?!"
Suddenly, the topic was thrown at him like a bomb.
In the car, Teng Wenyi smiled bitterly, "I'm not as popular as the director......"
Tengyun also sighed, "This is the infectious power of the top red star...... Deeds...... are enough to cause a frenzy of journalists, the media...... He is now only a little away from the Chinese Heavenly King, and there is only time left to accumulate......"
"If you can't make a mistake."
In the flickering magnesium lights, Lin Xiao calmly talked about the romance of blood and the sound of the wind, and kept saying that the wind was inspired by the color of blood. The names of the two plays were silently recorded in the hearts of all reporters.
And when they go back, there will be no doubt that everyone will know.
Although they knew that Lin Xiao was using this opportunity to promote his new film, and although they knew that they had deviated from their theme, how could they possibly let it go?
No one noticed that in this ancient county town, in a six-story residential house not far away, two people were sitting, watching this scene intently.
One is a Chinese man with gray hair, a square face, and a kind face. The other is a foreign woman who is extremely difficult to see.
"How does it feel?" The man was also beside her, following her gaze.
This is the third floor, and not far from below, is Lin Xiao, who is talking in the crowd.
"Height, appearance, are good, especially he is not a cream student, and his body size is very close to that of Europe and the United States......" The woman frowned slightly, looked at it for a long time, sighed and said, "But, Li, I have to remind you that my novel is American, but he is an authentic Chinese!" ”
Both speak fluent English.
"What about dubbing? What about speaking? And pure cowboy style, can he adapt to it? The main thing is, how to tell the audience the origin of his identity? ”
The man, known as Lee, was about to speak, and the woman spoke first.
"Oh, no, Lee, I'm not done yet. Although he can deepen his eye sockets, nose bridge, and bones through makeup, you know that this is a palliative treatment. Asian facial features cannot be completely eliminated in any case, unless they go for plastic surgery. This is a barrier for Asian movie stars to break into the European and American markets. ”
Li sighed, "Actually, I didn't expect him, but this incident is very interesting, don't you think?" ”
"Oh, Lee." The woman laughed, "Speaking of which, I have to say that China's protection policy for artists is really bad. This incident could have happened in the United States only a few years ago. ”
"Don't you think that his spirit of resisting the entire system and opposing the eyes of different people can very well express the mentality of the male protagonist?"
"Of course, otherwise, I wouldn't have come to see this lap with you."
Lee also laughed, "Annie, you're too picky. ”
The two looked at the center and muttered one answer after another.
"This film is still being revised in the script, it is best to be released in the first half of 05, and when I come back from Beijing, I can just stop by to see this film successor in Chinese mainland."
"I don't deny that he has his charm, the key is whether European and American audiences can accept an Asian artist? An Asian cowboy? Oh my God, it's so hard. ”
Li knocked on the windowsill, a little hesitant, "Do you want to meet him?" ”
When he hesitated, Lee's eyes suddenly widened.
Because he saw that a blonde man wearing a black trench coat and sunglasses had already walked towards Lin Xiao extremely quickly!
"Jonny. Jackson? Anne's eyes looked puzzled, "Is that him?" ”
"Who?"
Anne smiled slightly, "Lee, it seems that we have met our peers." ”
"Scandals, there are really benefits to him, no matter how good or bad, he can be famous, especially Lin like this...... Artists who have already set up a bridgehead in South Korea...... This time the matter is not small, and it has naturally appeared on some pages in Japan and South Korea......"
