I'll Add Points To All Things

Chapter 888: Crushed Directly

Especially the last time, Weibo had controlled the public opinion on Weibo, causing it to be criticized by the publicity department. Therefore, the netizens’ rebuttal this time was especially strong.

Due to the fact that it was the Jiadian Group who had exposed everything last time, many people commented online that the Dragon Slayer had finally become the evil dragon.

There were also some who said that the country’s capitalists were absolutely terrifying. They would blacklist whoever they wanted to, suppress whatever information they did not want publicly known. In fact, they were even thinking if these capitalists would only push information that they wanted publicly known, while the rest were covered up or destroyed.

As the one who had made use of online public opinion and eventually succeeded, how could Jiadian Corporation allow this to happen?

Their first step was to make an example to show the public and make those who dared to criticize pay the price. They did this to instill fear into those who shared messages to spread fake rumors for money or fame.

Then, their second step was to turn the situation around!

Therefore, after the news of the entire internet being banned was spreaded, all the major media outlets and platforms published the announcement about Jiadian Group. After that, Jiadian Group clarified and explained the incidents related to Su Yang.

Generally speaking, the ones spreading rumors only used their mouths, while those who tried to neutralize said rumors had to run around tirelessly.

There are many rumors that you cannot clarify because you cannot prove that you did not do anything. This is a complete paradox.

Yet... There ended up being a method to prove Su Yang’s innocence about the rumors this round.

Which was...

The fact that Su Yang was not in China during that period of time at all. Instead, he was on a cruise ship to save his compatriots.

Without a wifi signal in the middle of the sea, how could Su Yang possibly chat online and send WeChat messages?

For the sake of the relevant evidence, Jiadian Group even specially looked for many of their compatriot who were saved by Su Yang or were with him at the time to record videos proving that Su Yang was indeed at sea at the time.

At the end of the video, Jiadian Group even announced that they had contacted Su Yang through a satellite phone and had him record the videos of him being there. Then, they even sent a helicopter to retrieve the video recordings from him.

For the sake of rigor, there was even a timer in the video.

Hence, this statement and video proved that Su Yang did not have the time to “commit the crime”, deeming the rumor completely fake!

Once this statement and video was posted, the entire internet went silent.

No one had expected such a coincidence.

Even though there were already people who suspected that someone was deliberately defaming Su Yang, they also believed that Su Yang could only suffer in silence. After all, it was impossible for him to explain the incident without there being any loopholes.

In the end, once the evidence was out, all the rumors were destroyed!

The netizens who had misunderstood Su Yang earlier felt even more guilty when they saw that Su Yang was running around to save his fellow countrymen while they were adding fuel to the fire!

Other than venting their guilt on the official accounts that had already been banned or deleted, they were also doubling their support for “Wolf Warriors 2”!

As for the female actress who created the rumors about Su Yang... She became the target of scorn.

At that point in time, everyone knew that this actress was trying to take advantage of the popularity of “Wolf Warriors 2”, and Su Yang!

‘She’s so despicable that it’s ridiculous!’

...

At the same time, in Changjun, the actress who had acted in Guo Ben’s movie was a little surprised at the turn of events, but she was not embarrassed at all.

She looked at the handbag that was filled to the brim with cold hard cash, and a smug look appeared in her eyes.

Generally speaking, there were three types of people who wanted to enter the entertainment industry. Those who wanted money, those who wanted fame, or both.

In fact, the actress was the first type, so when Wang Jing’s assistant paid her enough, she took off without hesitation!

‘So what if I run around naked? I’ve already slept with other men in the past, so that’s nothing.

‘The only question is how much profit I can get out of it, and the offer Wang Jing’s assistant gave me has satisfied me indeed.’

Just the thought of making so much money made the actress feel like taking off. ‘I feel like I could totally buy a ticket and fly to America or Korea or Jap... Well, not Japan.

‘I heard that Japan is on the verge of falling apart because of Su Yang. Many tycoons are going bankrupt and are jumping off buildings.

‘Whatever, all I have to do is to go to a developed country and enjoy the rest of my life.

‘As for the future... I’ll be able to live a good life with this amount of money. In fact, whenever I run out of money or get bored, I could open an account on Weibo and post some shocking comments to gain attention and become famous again. After all, infamous women attract fans the most, I even heard that Sister Feng managed to earn a whole load of money because of this.’

Just as the actress was thinking that, there was a knock on her door.

Hearing the knock on the door, the actress became alert. She glanced at the purse that was filled with money.

She quickly struggled to lift it up and hid it under the bed. Then, she combed her hair and asked, “Who is it?”

A woman’s voice came from outside the door. “Hello, I’m here to check the gas meter.”

‘The gas meter?’

The actress looked confused. ‘Is it the beginning of the month already?’

She opened the door.

And the moment she opened the door, she suddenly remembered something... ‘I’m living in an apartment that I rented not too long ago. This isn’t my house, so where is the gas coming from...?’

...

Just two days after Su Yang’s incident was clarified, a video suddenly appeared on the internet. The main character of the video was the actress who shot herself running around naked and drinking water while handstanding.

In the video, she admitted that she had framed Su Yang in order to gain popularity. However, that was all because Wang Jing had given her money to do it.

Subsequently, the reporters followed up on the investigation, and Changjun’s Office also confirmed that the actress had indeed turned herself in, and she had taken the initiative to explain the details of her crimes.

Due to the negative social impact caused by this incident and the fact that she did run around naked, the office had already set up a case to investigate, and it would be a fair trial.

Of course, her illegal gains were all confiscated.

After the video was exposed, Wang Jing’s side immediately released a clarification statement saying that they had nothing to do with this matter. They hoped that everyone would not be misled by the rumors.

However, just like what was said before, “spreading rumors” was the most difficult thing to do. Therefore, Wang Jing did not have any proof to prove his innocence.

The netizens did not let him off either. They attacked his Weibo, thinking that he was a coward and a loser. He was ugly, but he was a playboy. ‘All he knows how to do is to shoot some lousy movies. He doesn’t even know how to produce good movies.’

The climax of the incident was three days later when Su Yang returned with his compatriots. During many media interviews, a Hong Kong media outlet took the opportunity to ask Su Yang for his opinion of Wang Jing.

After receiving the reporter’s question, Su Yang gave it some thought and said,

“Wang Jing? He seems to be from the older generation, right?

“I think I saw two of his movies, but because of the comments, I stopped watching them later on.

“After all, his work has already broken away from the art of movies. It’s just something that he’s pieced together, using all kinds of worthless materials to complete his work.

“Furthermore, after so many years, he has been relatively conservative and doesn’t care much about the progress of the world.

“I feel like he is an old artist who is immersed in the past and stuck in it.

“If I have to say what I think of him, I can only say that I’m thankful for his contributions in the past. However, perhaps he isn’t needed in this era.”

It was still Su Yang’s blatant statement, but everyone felt that it was exactly what Su Yang would say!

‘If he didn’t say that, he wouldn’t be that energetic, righteous, and patriotic tycoon that we know!’

Because of Su Yang’s words, the hammer of judgement fell on Wang Jing. That was because through the company that they were familiar with, the artist had spread the word that any movie related to Wang Jing would be targeted by Su Yang’s company. Wang Jing’s movies would be subjected to the strictest scrutiny, and the company that Wang Jing owned would be targeted by the company as well.

Generally speaking, this kind of declaration was done privately. There was no legal effect, and it might not be of much use. It was more intended to be a declaration or intimidation.

Therefore, when they heard this news, most of the people in the industry were only wary and wanted to stay away from Wang Jing for the time being.

Meanwhile, some people and companies who had worked closely with Wang Jing before did not react much.

After all, he was their partner on one hand, while the other was a completely unrelated company. It was obvious who they were siding with.

However... Jiadian Group did not take this matter as merely a statement. Instead, they treated it as something they valued greatly.

Therefore, two days after giving the warning, Little Deeny gathered more than 10 listed companies that were working closely with Wang Jing, and he got Wei Lin to deal with them.

Su Yang might not have the most assets in the world, but he was definitely one of the few people with the most cash on hand.

Especially the USD that was obtained from Japan, which gave him sufficient amounts of USD.

Actually, HKD and USD were directly linked. The impact of such a large amount of USD entering Hong Kong and starting to affect the stock market was huge.

Therefore, when Wei Lin started to set the sniping point, the stock price of the dozen or so companies broke.

In just a few hours, it had dropped 40%, and it was still falling.

Jiadian Group also used its influence to influence the banks and companies that were working with the film companies. They used the falling stock price as a trigger to remind them to pay attention to the risks.

Therefore, a disaster befell these companies.

Some of these companies did not even know what had happened before bankruptcy almost hit them.

At the time, the market also released a lot of fake news. Of course, this included Jiadian Group’s revenge claim.

To those who were observant, this was actually a way to spread the word.

Therefore, with a “reminder” given, these suppressed companies quickly publicly announced that they would cut off all cooperation with Wang Jing.

Correspondingly, their stock prices did not fluctuate anymore.

However, the previous wave of attacks and the subsequent attacks from the banks and cooperative companies still caused them serious damage.

Thus, Jiadian Group had successfully proved that they were not just making empty promises.

Just as Jiadian Group decided to attack Wang Jing, the National Publicity Department also published an article on the incident.

The editorial criticizes some people for using public accounts, microblogs, and other means of dissemination to engage in malicious competition by discrediting and creating rumors, claiming that they were the black sheep of the industry.

Even though the identity of that person remained concealed, everyone knew that it was Wang Jing being mentioned. Therefore, this conclusion was a death sentence for Wang Jing.

Coupled with the attacks from Jiadian Group earlier, the companies that had collaborations with Wang Jing no longer dared to have any illusions. They all publicly announced that they would cut off all cooperation with Wang Jing.

After all, the country had already decided on this matter, and Jiadian Group had made their decision. Therefore, no one wanted to provoke these two giants.

Even if Wang Jing was capable, he could still earn some money from the movies he made. However, if he worked with Wang Jing to earn a few million at a time, how many times would he need to earn to make up for his losses?

That was why, after the reviewers had ordered Wang Jing not to meddle with the film industry for three years, Su Yang had cut off all of Wang Jing’s connections as well.

In a sense, Wang Jing was removed from the capitalists’ circle by Su Yang.

For Wang Jing, his dirty trick had caused him to lose millions of yuan, as well as his main income channel. If he did not have a lot of savings, he would probably lose everything soon...

Just as Wang Jing and the actress’s incident settled, under Su Yang’s influence, the reviewers sent out a new document regarding the battle of public opinion.

The new document required various platforms to impose strict rules against rumors. All public accounts and Weibo accounts were prohibited from privately releasing news without the right to edit it. Furthermore, as long as they reposted the rumors more than 500 times, they could file a case to investigate.

This measure could be said to have immediately suppressed the birth of online rumors and caused many personal media, who liked to create rumors and create hype, to lose the soil to grow...

At that point, Li Zijun’s entire plan had come to an end.

When the actress and Wang Jing were plotting this, they probably did not expect that a small rumor, a very small one in fact, would completely ruin their lives and even promote the country’s speech control.

If they knew what had happened, they might even regret their initial choice...

And while the country was seething over the matter of cyber rumors, in Japan, which was not too far away, a Korean expedition team had quietly arrived there for a visit...
