At Peng Pai Entertainment.
CEO Peng Huaibin was pointing at the newspaper and scolding Wang Ze.
"Are you crazy? Are you blind to the law? How dare you write something like that? "
Wang Ze said with a long face, "I'm sorry, CEO Peng. I didn't expect this. In the past, it wasn't a big deal for me to make up stories about celebrities. I didn't expect Xiao Yunhai to be so strong-willed as to do something like that. "
Peng Huaibin slammed the table and said angrily, "Don't you know what kind of person Xiao Yunhai is? He dared to scold the deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture in front of more than ten big shots of the entertainment industry. There's nothing in the world that he doesn't dare to do. Old Wang, you're really stupid. Let me ask you, who wrote this? "
Wang Ze said, "Chief Editor Lin Kai wrote it. He only published it after getting my permission. "
Peng Huaibin said, "There are two options now. One is to beg Xiao Yunhai to let the newspaper company off the hook and retract the lawsuit. However, with Xiao Yunhai's strong-willed personality, it's impossible for him to change his mind. The second option is to hold a press conference and say that Xiao Yunhai's involvement in the underworld was written by Chief Editor Lin Kai based on his subjective assumptions. The inspectors were negligent and didn't find any problems, which led to the article being published in the newspaper. Then, you can take the initiative to apologize to Xiao Yunhai. You have to be humble. As long as we publicize it appropriately, Xiao Yunhai will take into account the impact and won't be so ruthless. "
Wang Ze nodded and said, "I understand what to do. CEO Peng, I'll make the arrangements now. "
Two hours later, Summit Newspaper held a press conference about Xiao Yunhai's involvement in the underworld.
In front of more than a hundred reporters, Chief Editor Lin Kai cried and said that he had written the article for the sake of the newspaper's sales. He hoped that Xiao Yunhai would let him off this time on account of his parents.
The newspaper company's president, Wang Ze, also admitted his mistake. He said that his negligence caused the article to be published in the newspaper and caused a lot of trouble for Mr. Xiao Yunhai. He asked for Xiao Yunhai's forgiveness.
Xiao Yunhai didn't buy the Summit Newspaper Firm's hypocrisy.
When he was interviewed by a reporter, he said, "Summit Media is very interesting. Seeing that I've sued them, these people came out to pretend to be pitiful. Hehe, do they take me for a fool? It had been a day since this incident was published in the newspapers. There were millions of posts on the forums. How could the Summit Newspaper Firm not have seen it? Since you saw it, why didn't you apologize to me in private? If I hadn't taken them to court, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen this apology in my life. I can answer them clearly now. I won't let any of the media companies that wronged me off. At the same time, I want the court to conduct a thorough investigation on me and my bodyguard assistant to clear my name. "
Xiao Yunhai's words received strong support from his fans.
"What's the point of having the police and the court if an apology is all that's needed after doing something wrong?"
"These media companies are hilarious. I used to think that they were impressive, but I didn't expect them to be paper tigers. When they saw that Yun Huang was serious, they were scared witless. They pretended to be pitiful to gain sympathy. Hehe, I'm speechless. "
"I support Yun Huang. A few media companies that have no sense of social responsibility should be punished. This can also serve as a warning to other media companies. "
"There's nothing to say. Yun Huang, you can do it. We support you. "
Since this incident had a huge impact on society, the court was very efficient. The next day, Xiao Yunhai and the people in charge of the relevant newspapers and magazines were summoned.
When Xiao Yunhai, accompanied by his lawyer, got out of the car, nearly a hundred media reporters swarmed over like bees to honey.
"Mr. Xiao, why do you have to sue them?"
"Mr. Xiao, how likely do you think you are to win the case?"
"Mr. Xiao, why were you banned by so many entertainment giants?"
"Do you have any conflicts with those companies that banned you?"
.....
Xiao Yunhai's expression was serious. He didn't say anything. Under the guidance of the security guard, he walked through the crowd.
Xiao Yunhai had made such a big fuss this time to tell Xia Hongda and the others that he was not to be trifled with.
Also, after some investigation, he found out that the newspapers and magazines that wrote about him were controlled by Hongda, Dongfang, Peng Pai, and other companies.
Xiao Yunhai wouldn't go easy on them.
Since this incident was too obvious, and the people in charge didn't defend themselves, the court passed the sentence.
The instigator, Lin Kai, the chief editor of Pinnacle Newspapers, maliciously slandered Xiao Yunhai and caused a huge impact on society. He seriously violated Xiao Yunhai's reputation. However, seeing that he pleaded guilty, the court gave him a light sentence of one year in jail.
As the main culprit, Pinnacle Newspapers had to compensate Xiao Yunhai fifty million yuan for the damage to his reputation and mental state. The other eleven media companies had to compensate Xiao Yunhai twenty million yuan each.
Although this amount of money didn't mean much to Xiao Yunhai, it was equivalent to several years of income for the newspapers and magazines.
Of course, it wasn't much to their backers.
After walking out of the court, Xiao Yunhai accepted the interview from the reporters.
"Mr. Xiao, why did these newspapers and magazines make up such a big lie to attack you?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "That goes without saying, it's definitely to ruin my reputation."
"What good will it do them to ruin your reputation?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "Other than higher sales, it won't do them any good. However, it's different for the film companies behind them that want to ban me. For the past two years, I've basically stayed at home except for filming. Therefore, they can't find a reason to ban me. They can only use arrogance and disrespect to their seniors as a cover for their embarrassment. If they can make everyone believe that I'm a gangster, then this reason will undoubtedly be fatal. "
"May I ask, Mr. Xiao, why do so many entertainment companies in the entertainment industry want to ban you?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "This question, you should ask them, and not me. However, I can only say two words about the two reasons they came up with: bullshit. Arrogant and despotic? I want to ask who am I arrogant to, and who am I despotic to? On set, I admit that my temper is very bad sometimes. However, I'm a director. Whether I'm angry or not, it's because of the film, not the person. All the actors who have acted with me have become my good friends in the end. Everyone can go and ask about this. As for disrespect to seniors, hehe, I want to laugh when I hear it. In the past two years, I've worked with 40 to 50 teachers who are over 50 years old. I, Xiao Yunhai, admire their professionalism, acting skills, and character very much. Moreover, I've always regarded them as my role models in my heart. Therefore, I really can't accept this reason, and I don't dare to accept it. "
"Mr. Xiao, are you satisfied with the results this time?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "Our Hua Xia is a country ruled by law. I've always believed that the law will uphold justice for every citizen who has been harmed. I'm very satisfied with the court's verdict. At the same time, I've decided to donate the 270 million yuan in compensation to my bursary fund for free to do more good deeds. Therefore, I hope that these 12 newspapers and magazines can transfer the money to the Hua Xia Red Cross account as soon as possible. "
