After a while, Minister Cao walked into the meeting room with a dark face. Liang Qianqiu was with him.
"Cut the crap. You know what happened, right? How are you going to deal with it?"
Yang Li said, "Department Head Cao, we have already decided not to cut anything. We have passed the review for 'Martial Heroes'."
Minister Cao nodded and said, "Very good. Has the news been released? "
Yang Li said, "I'll get someone to release it right away."
Minister Cao said angrily, "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and send someone to do it. "
Yang Li hurriedly agreed and sent the office director to do it.
Minister Cao looked around and finally looked at Yang Li and said, "Chief Yang, you're really something. You've only been the acting director for a month and you've already caused such a big mess. You're really something. "
Yang Li explained, "Minister Cao, it's all Xiao Yunhai's fault …"
Minister Cao said angrily, "That's enough. Stop looking for excuses. Did you know that even the head of the Ministry of Culture knew that 'Elite Heroes' had become famous all over the world because of Chinese Kung Fu? He was full of praise for this young man, Xiao Yunhai. He even praised me yesterday and said that I've done a good job as a leader. He also said that your movie is doing well. But look at what happened today. The director is very concerned about it. Huaxia's movies have been weak for a long time. It was not easy for Xiao Yunhai to appear, and he made a movie that made the whole world look at him in a new light. But you guys still want to cut the scenes. Haha, what kind of joke is this? "
"Which one of you is the Minister of the Audit Department? Step forward and let me see what kind of monster he is."
Li Chang Long's face was covered in cold sweat. He stood up shakily and said, "Minister Cao, I'm in charge of the Audit Department."
Minister Cao was so angry that he laughed and said, "Oh, it's you. Tell me, who told you to do this? Don't tell me you made the decision. Look at you, I don't think you have the guts to do this. "
At this point, Li Changlong didn't dare to hide anything. He spilled the beans and said, "Director Yang asked me to do this. After Xiao Yunhai handed 'Elite Martial Heroes' to the review department, Director Yang called me and asked me to review 'Elite Martial Heroes'. "
Yang Li said, "Li Changlong, you're slandering me. When did I say that? Department Head Cao, ever since I became the Acting Director, I've been busy all day. Why would I pay attention to a young director? I know I have to take responsibility for this matter, but you can't splash such dirty water on me. "
Hearing Yang Li's words, Li Chang Long was furious. He pointed at Yang Li and said, "Yang Li, you're really shameless. 'Valiant Heroes' is popular all over the world. If it wasn't for your order, I wouldn't have dared to keep it. "
Yang Li snorted and said, "Perhaps you have some enmity with Xiao Yunhai. Department Head Li, please mind your words. If you slander me, I can sue you for slander. "
"Slander? Hmph, Yang Li, I already knew that you were this kind of person. Fortunately, I still had a trick up my sleeve when I reported to him. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to clear my name even if I jumped into the Yellow River. Didn't you say that I'm slandering you? Fine, I'll show you the evidence. "
Li Chang Long took out a small tape recorder from his pocket and said, "Department Head Cao, leaders, this is the conversation I recorded with Yang Li yesterday. Listen to it and you'll understand. "
Yang Li was so scared that his face turned ashen. His face turned green and then white.
He pressed the play button and the conversation between him and Yang Li was clearly heard by everyone.
"Director Yang, Xiao Yunhai came just now. He said that he would rather not show it in Hua Xia than cut a scene. What do you think we should do? This matter is too big now. The film doesn't have any violence, sex, or defamation of the government. Do you think we should give them a license? "
"Old Li, you're crazy. Aren't you shooting yourself in the foot if you do this? The review department has dragged on for so long. If we don't cut it, how can we justify it? When the higher-ups investigate, do you still want to be the Department Head of the review department? "
"Director Yang, I'm only doing this because of your instructions. You can't leave me alone. "
"Did I tell you to suppress the film and not let it pass?"
"But that's what you meant."
"Then you're wrong. What I meant was that if there's a problem with 'Valiant Heroes', we can't let it pass. "
"Director Yang, you can't do this."
"Okay, Old Li, the sky won't fall. Since Xiao Yunhai doesn't want to cut it, let's release this matter to divert the fans' attention. Sigh, I didn't expect Xiao Yunhai's film to achieve such success in the world. If I had known, I wouldn't have deliberately suppressed it. Now it's hard to get off. What should we do? "
Hearing this, Department Head Cao couldn't take it anymore. With a bang, he slammed the table and said, "Okay, put away the recording. Even I feel embarrassed when I hear it. "
He turned to look at the ashen-faced Yang Li and said, "Yang Li, I have to say that appointing you as the Acting Director was a collective mistake of the Ministry of Culture. Li Chang Long, you're even better. You brought a tape recorder with you when you were talking to the leader. Have you watched too many movies? "
"Everyone, listen up. From now on, Yang Li and Li Chang Long are stripped of their positions as the Acting Director. Xiao Yuanyang is temporarily the Director of the Film and Television Bureau. He's in charge of all aspects of the bureau. Comrade Xiao Yuanyang, you must handle this matter well. I'm not the only one watching. The director is watching too. "
Xiao Yuanyang suppressed the joy in his heart and said, "Don't worry, Department Head Cao. I'll handle it well."
At this moment, the fans outside shouted.
"Please be magnanimous, we want to watch 'Valiant Heroes'."
"Ask your director to come out. We want to ask him why 'Valiant Heroes' is being screened all over the world. Why can't Hua Xia?"
"'Valiant Heroes' is Hua Xia's film. Why can't we watch it?"
.....
Everyone came to the window and looked at the excited crowd downstairs. Roughly counting, there were about four hundred people, and many more were rushing over in an endless stream.
Among them, there were a few reporters.
Liang Qianqiu said with a serious face, "Department Head Cao, we must give the fans an explanation as soon as possible. Otherwise, more and more people will come, and the matter will become bigger and bigger until it gets out of hand. "
Department Head Cao nodded and said, "What are you going to do, Director Xiao?"
Xiao Yuanyang thought for a while and said, "Whoever started the trouble should end it. As long as Xiao Yunhai can tell them that the movie will be screened as usual, they will probably leave. "
Liang Qianqiu's eyes lit up and said, "That's right. That's a good idea."
Xiao Yuanyang continued, "I have a good relationship with Xiao Yunhai. I'll call him now and tell him that the movie has been approved. Then, I'll let him tell the fans downstairs. This way, there shouldn't be any problems. "
Department Head Cao clapped his hands and said happily, "Very good. Go and do it."
Xiao Yuanyang nodded and called Xiao Yunhai while rushing downstairs.
"Hello, Brother. How is it? Your Film and Television Bureau has been scolded quite badly by the netizens, right? Hehe, it's enough to make Yang Li suffer. "
"Yunhai, I've just been appointed as the acting director of the Film and Television Bureau. Your fans are gathering downstairs at the Film and Television Bureau. Hurry up and persuade them to go back through my phone. As for 'Valiant Heroes', it has been approved. Hua Xia Cinemas will give you at least 40% of the showtimes. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "That's great. Okay, I understand."
Xiao Yuanyang said, "I'll hang up first and meet your fans. When I call you, you must hurry up and pick it up. Okay, I'm going downstairs. "
