Chapter 60: Were the Officials Set Up?
"To protect you, Alibaba's original investment in fiber optic movies was also canceled, and they even have to compensate the other party with a film and television resource."
Now all Alibaba can do is pray that Gu Yi can really carry the torch and make "Better Days" a box office hit.
This is the only way to recover their losses; otherwise, Tencent would laugh them to death. However, there are other reasons why they compromise so easily.
"Pretty, isn't she!"
"Are they idiots?!"
"We don't need the money, so why did we agree to let this bastard act in the movie in the first place?"
Millennium was speechless.
"It's because Huayi is too weak. They actually cooperated with them on fiber optics. Of course, we agreed."
"But this is a good thing, Alibaba won't be involved with fiber optics anymore."
"Moreover, the resources they give Gu Yi will definitely not be as good as yours, after all, you are a Tmall spokesperson and you have a hit drama waiting to be released."
Hearing this, Millennium felt a little better.
"Never mind, let's let it cool down for now."
"But I've remembered this debt."
But the story isn't over yet.
The next morning at 10 o'clock,
Official intervention is gradually underway.
The People's Daily official Weibo account was the first to repost and add a comment.
"Popularity should carry positive energy, and fame should match one's responsibilities."
"From stepping forward to help those in need to donating his entire income of 2600 million yuan to charity, Gu Yi has demonstrated the social responsibility of a public figure through his actions."
"The attitude of refusing to tolerate cyberbullying and adhering to the bottom line of the law is worthy of learning by the industry."
Xinhua News Agency simultaneously forwarded and supplemented the report.
"An artist's influence lies not only in their work, but also in their exemplary words and actions. 'Fans' behavior, idols' responsibility' is not just a saying; we hope everyone will lead by example."
"Gu Yi transformed public controversy into a force for public good, supporting the anti-bullying cause with donations, which sets a benchmark for responsibility beyond compliance in the entertainment industry."
CCTV, on the other hand, presented it as part of its evening news program.
"By opposing bullying and practicing public welfare, Gu Yi's actions demonstrate the clarity and responsibility of a young artist, which is more powerful than mere excuses."
That evening, the official Weibo account of the State Administration of Optoelectronics directly reposted the screenshot of the donation receipt from Gu Yi's Weibo post, with a concise and powerful caption.
"Support artists who embody positive energy in fulfilling their social responsibilities, promote a positive and virtuous industry atmosphere through their actions, and jointly resist cyberbullying and illegal and unethical behavior."
This repost was interpreted by netizens as official approval of Gu Yi's actions, instantly becoming a trending topic.
#Photonics forwards Gu Yi's donation certificate#
This topic quickly rose to the top of the charts.
at the same time,
The most explosive thing is coming.
The State Taxation Administration issued a brief announcement on its official website.
"Enterprises and practitioners in the film and television industry who conduct thorough self-examination and rectification and voluntarily pay any outstanding taxes before the end of December 2018 will be exempt from administrative penalties and fines."
"From January to the end of February next year, the tax authorities will specifically urge and remind relevant taxpayers to further correct their practices. Those who fail to do so will be dealt with seriously in accordance with the law."
People in the film and television industry are in an uproar.
No one expected that Gu Yi would ultimately emerge victorious in this highly publicized media battle.
Although his Weibo followers dropped from 3000 million to 1500 million, a series of official actions brought them back to 2000 million, allowing him to remain a popular celebrity.
However, this also shows how terrifying the fighting power of the Bird Sisters is; at least 1500 million of the 1000 million lost was lost.

20 PM
Haitangxi Main Street on the south bank of the mountain city
Gu Yi had just finished filming the scene where Xiao Bei squatted downstairs in the tenement building at night, guarding Chen Nian, and staring intently at her window because he didn't dare to go upstairs.
Do you think I've been set up?
He got into the car and saw a bunch of official tax-related trending topics on his phone. He turned to look at Li Xiang.
"Yes and no."
Li Xiang scrolled through the industry group messages and smiled bitterly.
"It's normal that we've been framed as positive role models because of the big event that happened this year, and we've been too conspicuous."
"The most troublesome thing is that now you are resented by other people in the industry, and you won't be able to get good roles for a while."
Gu Yi laughed.
"The way you're saying it makes me feel like you look down on fiber optics, and you also look down on Tencent!"
He doesn't need any outside projects right now. He should focus on building a solid foundation in the first year, and good projects will naturally come knocking on his door in the future.
"I'm not going to waste my breath on you. We've also benefited this time. Alibaba gave us a film and television resource in order to protect Millennium."
Li Xiang pushed the tablet computer in front of Gu Yi, the screen filled with information on more than a dozen TV series.
"These are the projects they offered that are scheduled to start filming in 2019. Take a look and see if any of them interest you."
Gu Yi took the tablet and swiped the screen with his finger.
The first thing that catches the eye is "Crisis Public Relations".
He muttered to himself.
"Isn't this the movie that Xiaoming (Brother Ming) acted in later?"
Scroll down,
The title of the play, "Twelve Pools," is unfamiliar.
I have a vague impression of the movie "White Moonlight".
But it didn't pique his interest either.
When you scroll to "My Bargain Queen",
He realized it instantly.
This drama stars Lam Kwok and Ng Da-pai.
When "Story of Yanxi Palace" became a hit in August, she disrespected the Sixth Princess and was directly named, but she was not affected.
On the contrary, Zhou Ye was heavily criticized by marketing accounts simply for not smiling. It just goes to show how tough it is for young actresses; they've basically been criticized everywhere.
The following works include "Don't Leave After School," "I'm Single by My Own Ability," and "The General's Little Lady"...
He had never heard of any of these projects.
Gu Yi's fingers swiped faster and faster until he reached the tenth or soth page, when the two characters "Si Teng" suddenly caught his eye.
Creative Team:
The director is Li Muge, the female lead is Jing Tian, and the rest are yet to be determined.
His movements stopped.
"That's something we can consider."
Li Xiang was quite surprised.
"The female lead in this drama is Jing Tian, who currently has virtually no market presence, and the platform doesn't have high hopes for her. Are you sure you want to cast her?"
Gu Yi held back his laughter.
Instead, he looked at Li Xiang with some surprise.
"They don't think this show will be successful?"
"It's more than just not optimistic. The budget is in the A tier, not even S tier. If you act in this show, you'll be overshadowed by Millennials by several levels."
Li Xiang clicked on the project details.
"Moreover, Jing Tian is basically not popular right now. I heard that this drama is planned to be filmed in a studio with low special effects, which is too risky."
Well, the investment in "The Longest Day in Chang'an" was several hundred million.
The investment in "Sito" was tens of millions, so the two are incomparable.
In fact, "Si Teng" is a joint production of three companies: Youku, Yuekai, and Shiyue. Yuekai is the company that Sister Meng is currently signed with, and Yang Yang and Song Qian are also from this company.
Gu Yi smiled.
His approach is different from Millennial's.
If they dare to cause trouble again, then let's keep fighting.
If we don't take action now...
It's because even if he wins, he won't gain anything.
It was a complete waste of effort, benefiting others instead.
Moreover, he was aware of the potential of this drama, even with an A-level budget and even though Jing Tian's popularity was currently mediocre.
However, this drama was her comeback project. You could say she was lucky; even without a sugar daddy, she still managed to find a hit drama.
However, Zhang Bingbing is also very lucky.
Because of his role in "Si Teng", he went from a relatively unknown supporting actor to a leading man and enjoyed the benefits for two years.
