clown face

Tang Anyao's team started to make big moves in the next few days.

First of all, Tang Anyao issued a statement that he unilaterally terminated the contract with Star King Entertainment. His reputation is too high. He signed a film contract with Star King Entertainment at the beginning, not a contract of sale. cooperation is no longer established.And in the statement he issued, the reason for terminating the contract with Star King was clearly written, "It is not only disappointing but also regrettable to allow rumors to slander a senior filmmaker without verification."

Everyone expected that he would fight back, but they didn't expect that the first blow would not be aimed at those so-called insiders who spread false information to the media, but at Star King Entertainment.Tang Anyao announced to the world with a strong gesture of termination of the contract that a company that cannot trust him in a critical period is not worthy of his cooperation.

Later, he changed hands and took out an invitation from a famous Hollywood film company, announcing that he would go to the United States to helm a blockbuster movie with an investment of over [-] million US dollars.With a gorgeous turn around, he slapped the Chinese entertainment circle with a resounding slap in the face. People suddenly thought that whether the protagonist of this sex scandal is a sick person is unknown, but he is undoubtedly a person at his peak. First-class directors, the Chinese community is still judging the morality of their sexual orientation and sexual style; in other places, there are always film companies in other countries who regard these personal issues as his privacy, and only value his directing ability and appealing ability .In other words, as long as Tang Anyao can still sit in the director's chair, with his talent and experience, he is likely to win awards and bring huge box office profits.

At this point, Shen Tao fully understands why Tang Anyao can be so surprised. Just as he himself said, in a few decades, Chinese film history will definitely leave his name.As long as he is still there, standing out is a living sign.

The second thing Tang Anyao instructed his team to do was to take the police station involved in the investigation of his sexual abuse incident to court that day.This move is also beyond people's expectations. Originally thought that he should sue someone if he wants to kill chickens and monkeys, such as searching the instigator of his sex video on the Internet, or disclosing to the media that he was kicked out of the crew because he did not agree with his transaction terms. Fei Wenbo.Instead, the details of the investigation were leaked, misleading the outside world into thinking that the police station had already made a conclusion on Tang Anyao's case, causing incalculable adverse effects on his personal reputation, and constituting facts such as defamation and dereliction of duty.

This action once again caused a sensation in Hong Kong. Tang Anyao was dressed in black, standing in front of the camera with a solemn expression, like a hero in his movie who has been wronged and has nowhere to seek justice. To win, I just want to use my own unpleasant, even painful experience to remind the police, I hope they will be fair to everyone involved in the case in the future, and try to respect their privacy before they are not sure whether he is guilty or not. It doesn't matter if that person is an uncle or aunt who sells vegetables and fruits on the street, or a filmmaker like me who is tired of being famous."

His move won the favor of many people, but in fact, the investigation results of the police station cannot be used to prove that Tang Anyao illegally imprisoned and abused others with indirect evidence.His case never really became an indictable case.Tang Anyao's slander and dereliction of duty may not be established because the lawsuit will take a long time, but he came here to send out a powerful message, that is, even the police can't prove that Tang Anyao is a pervert. The catchy video and the plausible testimonies of several male celebrities, what can they prove?

The third thing Tang Anyao did was to shoot a promotional video for actor Zhou Jinghui. This film was directed by him and dedicated to the opening ceremony of the Hong Kong Film Awards.In the film, Zhou Jinghui played ten roles in one breath, sometimes youthful and sunny, sometimes deep and introverted, sometimes manic and anxious, and sometimes down and out.Anyone who is familiar with Hong Kong movies knows that Zhou Jinghui actually copied the classic characters on the screen in the past. What is amazing is that he is wearing an ordinary white shirt from the beginning to the end of this short film, with a little bit on his face. No make-up, just relying on superb acting skills to perform those well-known scholars, heroes, gamblers, and tycoons perfectly.

In the last clip, Zhou Jinghui suddenly played the leading role in an idol drama, said a few clichéd nasty lines, but forcibly endowed a simple and rigid character with soul and emotion.This clip flashed by, but sharp-eyed people discovered that Zhou Jinghui was parodying the male protagonist played by Fei Wenbo in the famous idol drama.In the same scene, with the same dialogue, Fei Wenbo only knows how to perform affectionately, but when it comes to Zhou Jinghui, there is an incomparable helplessness and longing.

Seeing Zhou Jinghui, you will realize how bad Fei Wenbo's acting is.

At the end of the short film, the camera panned to the outside, director Tang Anyao in Tang suit was sitting and watching the replay, Zhou Jinghui asked, "Director, have you passed this one?"

Without raising his head, he replied, "However, let's do it again."

Zhou Jinghui was angry, and said, "No way, are you still here?"

The camera slowly zoomed in on Tang Anyao's face, his eyes were lazy, and he said with a smile: "What I want is an actor, not a star."

After the short film was aired, there was a great response. The message it revealed was the hard work and real efforts of generations of filmmakers in this field. Tang Anyao's sentence "I want an actor, not a star" is even more impressive. Many were in awe.He did have the intention of belittling Fei Wenbo in the film, but more, he let people see why he did not choose Fei Wenbo to participate in his own movie.For a serious director, stars are meaningless, actors are the most important, unless he wants to smash his own brand, otherwise how can he use some idol star instead of actor Zhou Jinghui?

Therefore, what Fei Wenbo said in front of the media that he resigned from Tang Anyao's play because he refused to agree to the excessive conditions of Tang Anyao was totally untenable.For other directors who make commercial films, there may be such unspoken rules, but for Tang Anyao, this unspoken rule seems to be too inconsistent with his requirements.

As a result, rumors began to spread on the Internet that "Fei Wenbo was rejected by director Tang because of his poor acting skills and he held a grudge."Of course there are reasons for Tang Anyao's team operation, but the audience is not blind. Fei Wenbo and Tang Anyao are not on the same level. Obviously not enough.

When Shen Tao saw this short video, he immediately understood a fact: no matter how hideous Tang Anyao's disguise was, he was always a narrow-minded old man who loved to hold grudges.

Don't you disdain to confront Fei Wenbo?So what happened to Zhou Jinghui's role in this film?This is not enough, and at the end of the film, he even added the sentence "I want an actor, not a star". Is this because he is afraid that others will not know that he is targeting Fei Wenbo?

But his method of attacking Fei Wenbo was very ingenious, completely using his own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses, people suddenly remembered that even if Tang Anyao was really a pervert, he was also a leading Chinese director.

Instead of arguing with Fei Wenbo about whether I wanted to rule you out, he took advantage of his professionalism and dealt him a heavy blow.

Such a public comment from a well-known director is enough to characterize Fei Wenbo quietly.For an ambitious idol star, there is nothing more terrifying than nailing him to the position of an idol who doesn't know how to act and only relies on appearance.

It can be foreseen that in the next decade or so, Fei Wenbo will have to spend a lot of effort to get rid of the hat on his head. However, the cruel reality of the entertainment industry, new idols come and go like a wave, and if a transformation is not done properly, he may become an ex-girlfriend in a matter of minutes. gas star.

At the same time, two mainstream newspapers in Hong Kong both published comments on the "Tang Anyao sex scandal" in prominent positions.These two newspapers are different from Gossip Weekly and X Guo Daily. They are much more serious, and their reports are much more credible.

One of the two newspapers chose to follow up the story and interview many different people about it.Among these people are Tang Anyao's old friends for many years, actors who have worked with him, competitors in Tang Anyao's film industry, senior film critics, well-known cultural figures and ordinary citizens.Maybe it's because it's a real-name interview, maybe it's because the incident has passed the most restless and lively time, and now it's starting to cool down, and the interviewees are all relatively calm.People in the film industry admit that they have not heard any rumors about Tang Anyao having an affair with anyone in the industry for so many years.And his competitor, another well-known director in Hong Kong, made a very thought-provoking statement. He pointed out that such an act of speculating and slandering a senior filmmaker with the greatest maliciousness without evidence makes all filmmakers feel sad. , The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, because everyone does not know whose turn will be next.

Another media interviewed Tang Anyao. This was his first interview with a Hong Kong paper media after he was interviewed by HT more than a year ago.Topics revolved around his many years of film works, film concepts, interesting stories with Zhou Jinghui and other actors during the filming process, expectations for Hong Kong films, etc.The interview inevitably mentioned this sex scandal. Tang Anyao finally made his first formal response to the media. He only said three words "I am not", and he refused to respond further.However, the director used these three words as an eye-catching title, coupled with a large photo of Tang Anyao looking tired but smiling, and the current issue of the newspaper was sold out.

No matter how much the sex scandal dealt a blow to Tang Anyao's film career, his influence was always there, and from the beginning to the end, he did not take any improper crisis public relations, but waited for the changes, and then waited for the opportunity to act. Heart, open and frank.

People's attitude towards him became subtle in an instant. The colleagues who wished to make trouble a second ago were all silent the next second.A question began to arise on the Internet, what if Tang Anyao was slandered?

Then it is not such a simple and crude reverse inference that flies do not bite seamless eggs, but it triggers thinking about the stigmatization of film directors.

Of course, this discussion has no final result, because it is not what Tang Anyao's team expected to come up with a clear conclusion of right and wrong.But unknowingly, Tang Anyao has transformed himself from a perverted character scolded by everyone into a character who doesn't know how to define it as a good character.

There are many who believe he is vilified, and many who insist that he is a pervert.

But so what?Only when there is a topic can it be influential. Tang Anyao has long seen through the rules of this game. What he wants is uncertainty, not to flaunt being a morally perfect person.Only when there is uncertainty, can there be room, and if there is room, he can still be the unique Tang Anyao.

This time, even Shen Tao's entertainment front will report on Tang Anyao. After the short film tribute to the Academy Award was broadcast, Alison said lightly and happily, "After watching this film, I have to say that regardless of director Tang Anyao being What is the truth about the incident that people talk about in the streets, but what he photographed is really nothing to say."

According to the rules, at this time, Shen Tao has to say something like "Yes, but what is right and what is wrong, there is no conclusion yet, let us wait and see", the news will be broadcast, and the advertisement can be inserted.Unexpectedly, Alison waited for a few seconds, but Shen Tao didn't answer. He was about to speak again to end the silence, when he suddenly heard Shen Tao ask inexplicably: "In this way, is the rain over for Director Tang?"

She was stunned for a moment, but she didn't show it on her face, she immediately smiled and said: "The fans who believe in Director Tang, the audience who like him will be the happiest."

Shen Tao didn't answer the words, Alison kicked him hard under the table, Shen Tao raised his eyes and smiled, the smile was extremely bright, and he said briskly: "Yes, let us sincerely hope that Director Tang Anyao will not suffer from this as much as possible. Due to the impact of the incident, more and better films will be made."
