"Mr. Xiao, we saw Paramount's people saying something about the court's decision being unfair. Did you win the case?"
"No, I lost," Xiao Yunhai answered. "Yunyi Shopping Network did violate the contract and I did stop the screening of Dream Come True. There's nothing to deny. I didn't bring a lawyer because I didn't think of arguing about it. "
"Was the verdict so fast because you admitted it directly?"
Xiao Yunhai nodded. "That's right. Some things have to be done even if the price is high. "
"Then why did they say that the law was unfair?"
"Yunyi Shopping Network violated the contract and was fined fifteen million yuan. There's nothing unfair about it," Xiao Yunhai said. "As for me, the court gave me a million yuan. They might think that it's too little. But, they didn't realize that I was just a catalyst. The real problem was with their own film crew. I feel wronged too. Didn't I just say a few words of fairness online? Why should they be given a million yuan? Since the court has decided so, I'll abide by it a hundred percent. I'll have someone send a million yuan to Paramount this afternoon. "
"Mr. Xiao, what do you think of Dream Come True's lead actor, Matthew?"
Xiao Yunhai's face darkened immediately. "I feel disgusted when I hear the name. Ten.
Tens of thousands of lives are worthless in his eyes. Such a worldview and value system was simply too terrifying.
I've informed my company. We'll never work with an artist without conscience and humanity like him. "
"Mr. Xiao, I heard that Matthew has apologized in public. Do you think it's necessary to hold on to his weakness? "
Although the other party did not have a badge, Xiao Yunhai knew that he must be a reporter under Paramount. He scoffed and said, "If an apology works, why do we need the police? I saw Matthew's press conference this morning. If he apologized sincerely before the fans banned him, maybe everyone would forgive him. But after being banned by the fans, it was a different story. Also, Matthew's ban had nothing to do with me. It was entirely because his words and actions hurt the feelings of the people of Hua Xia. I hope you're not mistaken. "
"Mr. Xiao, we know that you and Paramount are enemies. Are you doing this to take revenge?" the reporter continued to ask.
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Do you think I would care about a little Paramount now? To put it bluntly, I really don't think much of you. I'm usually very busy. If it weren't for the special situation this time, I wouldn't have bothered. Alright, let's end the interview here. I still have to pick up the children. Goodbye. "
The reporters immediately made way for Xiao Yunhai.
Paramount's lawsuit against Yun Yi Shopping Network and Xiao Yunhai spread across Hua Xia. The internet was abuzz with activity.
"Yun Huang is really domineering. He didn't bring a lawyer and admitted it directly. He's so cool. "
"Yun Huang didn't let the other party's lawyer make a statement and admitted all the problems without hesitation.
This shows that he's determined to let 'Dream Come True' be released. "
"Yun Huang is awesome. He's made us Hua Xia proud."
"Paramount still thinks that he's been wronged. Pfft, I think it's Yun Huang who's been wronged. "
"If I had the ability, I'd represent the people of the disaster area to sue them. It's sad to lose a loved one.
It hurts and you still want to show a comedy. This is inhumane. "
"Yun Huang and Yun Yi Shopping Network have done well this time. They've shown our attitude to the world."
Paramount had become the target of everyone in Hua Xia. Even the other movies that were being released were affected.
Two days later, Ricky Franklin came to Beijing in person and called for a meeting.
After listening to Lu Kexiong's account, Franklin glanced coldly at Matthew who was sitting next to him. Matthew did not give him any face as he trimmed his nails with a nail clipper.
Franklin's face flashed with anger as he said, "Matthew, shouldn't you say something?"
Matthew did not even look at him as he said, "What should I say? Hmph, I really don't understand Hua Xia. Can't we watch movies because of an earthquake? What a joke. "
Lu Kexiong frowned and said, "Mr. Matthew, Hua Xia's situation is different from America's. Here, we … "
"Who are you? How dare you lecture me to my face. If it weren't for your arrangement, I wouldn't have to hold a press conference, "Matthew put down his nail clipper and said to Lu Kexiong rudely.
Franklin finally couldn't hold back his anger. With a bang, he slammed the table and stood up. He pointed at Matthew and said, "Is this your attitude? Matthew, do you think that I won't dare to touch you just because you're the president's man? "
Matthew looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you can try."
After that, he stood up and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't waste any more time with you."
Under Franklin's cold gaze, Matthew left the conference room, waving his sleeves without leaving a single cloud behind.
Lu Kexiong said, "This person is simply unreasonable. Not only did he ruin 'Dream Come True', but he also ruined our 1.5 billion blockbuster 'Lion'. Ordinary actors would have been in fear and trepidation and tried to find a way to deal with it, but he still looked indifferent as if nothing had happened. "
Franklin said, "I'll deal with his problem when I return to Hollywood. Now, let's talk about your problem. Mr. Lu, I need an explanation. "
Lu Kexiong sighed and took out an envelope from his clothes. He stood up and handed it to Franklin, saying, "I have an unshirkable responsibility for Hua Xia's matter. This is my resignation letter. I'm going to take the blame and resign. "
When the others heard this, their eyes immediately lit up.
If Lu Kexiong left, his position would be empty. Perhaps one of them would be able to take his position.
Unfortunately, Franklin's next words made all their wishful thinking go down the drain.
"Mr. Lu, the fact that you can do this shows that you're a responsible CEO. The Hollywood headquarters is very responsible for 'Dream Come True'. They shouldn't have ordered you to forcibly release it. I remember that you told me when the earthquake happened, but I didn't pay enough attention to it. In addition, you're very capable. In recent years, Paramount has been developing very well in Hua Xia, so we've decided to let you continue. " Franklin saw that Lu Kexiong took the responsibility without any reason, and the anger on his face eased a little.
Lu Kexiong said, "Thank you for your evaluation of me."
Franklin said, "However, since you're wrong, you should be punished. How about this, half a year's bonus, no problem, right? "
Lu Kexiong said, "No problem. Mr. Franklin, what should we do next? "
Franklin said, "It's better to stay put. Xiao Yunhai isn't someone we can deal with. We can only take this loss honestly. "
For some reason, Franklin, who had interacted with Xiao Yunhai a few times before, had a fear of him from the bottom of his heart. It was fine if he didn't see him, but when he saw him, Franklin felt a little uncomfortable.
