Chapter 1384: Drowned Dog(1/2)
We can't blame Zhou Fangyu for being a soft egg.
Because for him, the actual situation did indeed begin to deteriorate slowly and completely out of control.
Perhaps it’s because the “Big Five” in the Japanese film industry have long hated the entertainment agency that represents a new form of entertainment.
Perhaps it is also because they have long been dissatisfied with the increasingly exaggerated and arrogant behavior of Ikuo Subo, the representative of the new entertainment agency, and his shameless self-proclaimed "leader of the entertainment industry."
In response to this "must-have" counterattack by Fog Studios, the "Big Five" in the Japanese film industry took the opportunity to frantically add fuel to the flames, fearing that the matter would not become popular and would become more serious.
It didn't matter that Fog Studios had any reaction at all. Just because the "Big Five" found an opportunity to take revenge, they spontaneously found various connections and published a series of notices in some neutral newspapers and newspapers, scolding Ikuo Suho to death.
It is inevitable that he will be labeled as a cancer in the Japanese entertainment industry and a shame in the Japanese entertainment industry.
Adhering to the instructions of the "Big Five", these newspapers defined the threat Ikuo Subo made against Fog Studios as the worst bullying incident in the industry, and proposed that the industry jointly boycott and hold Ikkio Suho and his BURNING Entertainment Agency accountable.
Moreover, they did not know what means they used to uncover some of the scandals and bad debts that Zhou Fang and Ikuo had committed many years ago, when he had just started to become successful and had not learned how to restrain himself.
Including but not limited to Ikuo Suho himself was involved in a shooting case many years ago.
The police also launched an investigation because they suspected that a considerable part of the income from the Burning Group went to the branch of the famous Yamaguchi-gumi.
Especially when Ikuo Sufang first established his firm, he did not know how to restrain himself at all. He used threats and intimidation from the underworld to help him expand his business and engage in unfair competition.
The targets of his coercion include print media, TV stations, and dirty magazines.
If you want to praise anyone, just do it. If there is a scandal, you have to withdraw. Otherwise, you will be left with nothing to eat.
Artists are treated as their own personal property. Artists are not allowed to change halls after the contract expires, and artists are cruelly exploited like slaves.
In short, since the "Big Five" have reached a consensus and launched a unified attack, and there are videos as evidence, these newspapers have also made their attitude clear, without any worries or cover-ups.
Daiyi awe-inspiringly defined the Burning firm controlled by Shu Fang Ikuo as "an empire built by bullets, violence and coercion", and characterized him as a gangster and a super shameless villain.
It is said that he is an upstart who relies on artists to survive, but has no respect for artists at all.
He is the number one bastard who treats artists as monopoly resources to break industry rules.
It is advocated that the police should regard the incendiary system as an evil force and investigate and collect evidence from top to bottom.
Needless to say, the effect was very good, and the Japanese people were very angry after seeing it, and they liked it very much.
Originally, those in lower positions had class hatred, and from the bottom of their hearts they wanted to see the misfortune of those who were above them. But now that such an astonishing revelation has come out, it will definitely be a feast for the eyes.
What's more, it is human nature to sympathize with the weak. For ordinary people, the easiest thing to accept is that whoever is weak is justified.
This is because Zhou Fangyuxiong is wrong, he has been bullying the weak.
On the other hand, Fog Studios is not afraid of pressure, refuses to give in, and is always focused on making good movies and dramas for the people.
He has simply become a good example of enduring humiliation and focusing on the art of film and television.
So initially there were some voices questioning whether the source and method of the candid video was legal, wondering why it was not exposed earlier, and whether this matter was also subject to some human control.
But whether it was a press conference or a statement in the press, these "sparks" failed to start a prairie fire and were quickly drowned out.
Because there is video as evidence, who cares whether it is legal or not, and what the court says, nothing is more reliable than your own eyes.
Anyone who dares to go against public opinion is a stupid fool and will never end well.
No matter what kind of expert you are, what kind of authority you are, or what kind of president or chairman you are, as long as you speak for Zhou Fang Ikuo, you should be scolded.
Now that I have finished scolding you, I still have to ask if you have accepted bribes from Ikuo Suho, and are you his accomplices and besties?
So under such "political correctness", public opinion became completely one-sided.
So much so that Zhou Fang Yuxiong himself did not dare to talk back at all, and was directly scolded to the point where he did not dare to see anyone.
He walks around like a rat every day. In order to avoid media reporters, he almost has to disguise himself when entering and leaving the office.
Needless to say, Zhou Fangyuxiong was so majestic that he had no time to take care of himself and could not even clean his own shit.
Not to mention taking care of his subordinates who worked for him and the tabloid media who were used by him.
And when those people complained endlessly after receiving the lawsuit from the court, and they regretted their embarrassing ending, this also caused Ikugo Shu's reputation in the circle to plummet, and he became the laughing stock of many people, who said that he was so
It's better to steal the chicken than lose the rice.
It stands to reason that since Shu Fang Ikuo has been unlucky to this point, he will not pose any further threat to Wu Studio.
From Fog Studio's standpoint, it can just wait and see what happens, and see how Ikkio Sue falls into disgrace and is swept away by this storm of public opinion.
They no longer need to take the risk of intervening, or go out and beat up the drowned dog themselves.
That would somewhat damage the pattern and look stingy.
If you consider it from the perspective of actual interests, even after the litigation process begins, you should be prepared to negotiate peacefully with the other party at any time, and stop when enough is enough.
After all, if enough benefits can be obtained from Ikuo Shu, it will certainly be more cost-effective than fighting a lawsuit that will cost an unknown amount of money.
Maybe we can't make peace with the other party and let Zhou Fang Yuxiong go.
But the problem is, who made Ikuo Sufang covet Matsumoto Keiko from the very beginning?
Therefore, Ning Weimin, who has always been known for his magnanimity and affability, was really angry this time.
He has always been gentle on the surface, and may not care about small things because they are not worth his time, but if it really makes him hold a grudge, he will never forget it.
So he, who originally thought that everything could be discussed, was not ready to go easy on Zhou Fangyu Xiongwang this time.
But in order to eradicate all evil, Ikkio Suo must be brought to a standstill so that he can disappear from the entertainment industry forever.
Even if this requires him to pay more economic costs and does not get any benefits, he will not hesitate.
Because compared to revenge and grudges, compared to regaining dignity for himself and Wu Studio, Ning Weimin actually didn't care much about these things.
You bastard, who do you think you are? How dare you care about my wife?
Since you dare to think about it, you must be mentally prepared to bear my anger!
Therefore, Ning Weimin not only asked Wu Studio's legal team to prepare materials and submit them to the court, but also formally filed a lawsuit against Ikkio Zhou and his entertainment agency, accusing them of provoking trouble, disrupting operations, and relying on their status in the industry to blackmail and coerce them.
At the same time, he and Matsumoto Keiko also used the opportunity of the second Tokyo Film Festival to exert their respective influence and win over Japanese judges Masahiro Shinoda, French director Claude Berry, and the award-winning film "The Old Well" on the jury. 》The crew stood on their side and spoke out for what happened at Fog Studios.
When being interviewed by reporters, these people took the initiative to mention this matter and expressed concern about the atmosphere in the Japanese entertainment industry.
I really can’t believe that Japan, a developed country as a country governed by the rule of law, should not have such disgraceful things happen.
As French director Claude Berry said to reporters personally, "I sympathize with what happened to Fog Studios, but I was also shocked. I didn't expect that such disgusting things existed in the Japanese film and television industry. Behavior. An artist's management company can actually use the artist's resources to manipulate the media and oppress peers, and this phenomenon has existed for so long. This is absolutely unacceptable in our country and will not be allowed. I think, If this is a common phenomenon in Japan, then art and creativity have no place here."
This move was definitely vicious enough, even though no one made a direct verbal attack on Shu Fang Ikuo and scolded him for being the ancestor of eight generations.
But letting these foreigners speak out publicly and question the morals and laws of Japanese society is more destructive than digging up their ancestral graves.
Because the Japanese also want to lose face, no one expected that such embarrassing things would spread internationally.
Actually, the foreigners who came to the film festival were allowed to enjoy themselves and watch Japanese jokes?
How can the Japanese people in this era, who have finally felt that they can stand tall, endure this?
So Zhou Fangyuxiong was unlucky.
Although he hid from the beginning and took the countermeasure of not responding to all criticisms, thinking that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
If you scold too much and don't respond, others will stop scolding you when they get tired of it.
But he never expected that Ning Weimin would actually mobilize foreigners to pay attention to this matter together, and even make such remarks that stimulated Japan's national pride.
As a result, due to such unexpected stimulation, the situation that had stabilized became unstable again.
Just after these judges of the Tokyo Film Festival made their official statements, it was like a huge stone thrown into the toilet, and the anger represented by public opinion rose again.
Many Japanese people have taken the negative comments made by foreigners at the Tokyo Film Festival very seriously, and are naturally filled with hatred for the instigator, Ikuo Shubo.
Some people even openly claimed that Ikuo Shubo was a disgrace to Japan and an embarrassment to all Japanese people.
Just because of the dirty things he did, the Japanese were unable to hold their heads high in the international community and became a joke in the eyes of the whole world.
He should be found as soon as possible and allowed to have a caesarean section to apologize.
Good guy, what a big hat. This is adding fuel to the fire and will kill him!
So the media became excited again. Not only the newspapers controlled by the "Big Five", but also many tabloids joined in on their own initiative. They gathered together to besiege and beat Ikuo Subo on the ground.
Not only did he want to be scolded to death for the sake of newspaper sales, but now people want to see this. As soon as his video was exposed, almost all the people were offended.
There are also some tabloids that are simply trying to get rid of their own troubles, or even vent their anger.
It was enough to be bullied by you in the past, but this time I did nothing to help you, and instead I had to be sued.
Bastard, it's all your fault!
Therefore, almost all the media outlets that were indicted by Fog Productions switched sides at this time.
On the other hand, I went to Wu Studio and Matsumoto Office every day to beg for mercy, saying that I had been coerced and deceived, and was also a victim.
On the other hand, he also started to retaliate against Ikuo Suho, which was almost like submitting a petition in order to get Dewu Studios to withdraw the lawsuit.
In fact, what do these tabloids think about? In this "annihilation" war against Ikuo Subo, the one who fought hardest was TBS TV station, which was supposed to be an ally of Ikuo Subo at the beginning.
You know, Director Sasaki and Ikuo Subo decided to work together to plot and snipe at Fog Studios due to their private deal.
It's a pity that this matter was leaked by Ikuo Subo himself in advance, and without waiting for such an opportunity, Fog Studios overthrew Ikuo Subo to the ground.
At this point, whether it was to make amends or to thank Wu Studio for repaying evil with kindness, I finally left some dignity for myself.
To be continued...
