I'll Add Points To All Things

Chapter 803: The Culprit Who Poisoned Meiyue

That was the news of how all the negative comments online were spread by people with malicious intentions and competitors.

“After Jiadian Group conducted several investigations, they have already found the company responsible and filed a lawsuit.

“In addition, the series of information that this company had spread are all untrue.

“In fact, the source of their information was from an employee of Jiadian Entertainment, who had been bribed to sell some so-called insider information.

“However, the truth is that this employee has completely made everything up.”

Although this statement was surprising, it was not a “crucial” message.

Most importantly, Su Yang invited the person in charge of the company to the venue, who was a man in an old suit. He walked out from the backstage of the press conference and explained what he had done. After that, he even apologized in public.

The reporters at the scene immediately questioned whether this man was an imposter and whether it was all just a show by the Jiadian Group. However, the man showed his identification and Su Yang also showed the clues that he had gathered, as well as the report and other information to prove the man’s identity.

A reporter then curiously asked the man why he was there.

In the end, the man smiled bitterly and said that it was Su Yang’s request. If he agreed to clarify the matter, Su Yang would show his leniency in court and appeal to have his sentence reduced.

Then, he took out a series of records of his own company to defame “Legend Of Wu Zetian”.

However, in the face of who had entrusted him to do these things, he fell silent. He only said that everything would wait until the trial.

The press conference ended quickly, but the impact caused by it was just beginning.

When Su Yang held the press conference, he had a few little monsters come up with a plan. Firstly, he wanted to prove himself so that everyone would doubt the authenticity of these negative comments. Then, he wanted the culprit to apologize and prove that everything was just a rumor, which would be a more convincing sequence of events.

Since then, Su Yang’s plan of self-mockery has been completed.

In order to complete this plan, Su Yang had gone through a lot of trouble. He had planned for Zhao Licheng half a month ago to find out which network’s public relations company was more capable, had an average reputation, and had a weaker manager.

After choosing the target, he gave everything the Wangs had investigated to this company and asked them to spread negative rumors about him as a third party.

After the matter had blown up, he took the opportunity to swallow up the remaining 40% of Tangna Pictures, and then discussed with the other five companies about the staircase payment plan.

After everything was settled, he used the remaining clues to report the public relations company and framed the Wangs and the employee who betrayed him.

After that, Su Yang would ban the employee and sue him. Then, they would negotiate with the public relations company and ask them to testify in court on the condition that they speak up for them.

Finally, everything was settled, arriving at the perfect ending.

As for whether the public relations company would sense that something was amiss and expose everything, saying that everything was orchestrated by Su Yang alone... Putting aside the fact that Little Deeny’s disguise was impeccable, just the hush money that Little Deeny gave was enough for the public relations company to make a huge profit after the compensation.

Even if they felt that something was wrong, for the sake of this money, for the sake of their reputation (exposing their clients), the public relations company would suffer this loss silently.

When this plan was completed, Su Yang also succeeded in killing three birds with one stone.

Have “Legend Of Wu Zetian” get unprecedented publicity, and beat down the originally high expectations, so that they would not be filled with hope that the series would collapse.After swallowing Tangna Picture’s share, and using the contract to increase his profits, Su Yang would earn at least 300 million yuan more.By slandering the Wangs and the traitor, Su Yang would have a reasonable excuse to retaliate against the Wangs.

All in all, Su Yang made a huge killing blow.

Su Yang was not surprised by the turn of events. As the matter had blown up, many people were curious about it.

In particular, after Jiadian Group had posted all the evidence of this rumor on Weibo, as well as the evidence of the truth, everyone no longer had any doubts about this matter. They believed that “Legend Of Wu Zetian” was maliciously slandered.

This dramatic twist also added to the topic of “Legend Of Wu Zetian”.

Of course, no one suspected that it was because of “Legend Of Wu Zetian”. However, based on the content of the public relations company’s internal staff, it seemed like... It was all not a publicity stunt.

Therefore, these rumors gradually disappeared.

Of course, laymen merely watched the show, while professionals were observing what was happening internally.

The people within the entertainment industry and the public relations industry had different opinions on this matter. They had their own motives and easily analyzed the nature of this matter.

‘Who’s going to benefit from all of this?

‘It’s going to be “Legend Of Wu Zetian”.’

Although “Legend Of Wu Zetian” was affected by the negative news, it also gave them a lot of publicity at the same time. Moreover, the timing of the matter being clarified was too coincidental, so after the negative news was removed, the publicity effect reached the peak. Therefore, they believed that this matter was created all for “Legend Of Wu Zetian”.

Therefore, in these two circles, everyone believed that this was an excellent self-promotion. The planner this time was also an impressive mastermind.

The only thing they don’t understand is that the producers of “Legend Of Wu Zetian” didn’t benefit from this incident. They not only lowered their copyright prices, but also almost caused a blow to their own celebrities.

From the looks of it, the marketing plan this time was most likely done behind the backs of Jiadian Group. In fact, it was done for two purposes, lowering its price while increasing exposure and publicity.

However, the weird thing was that the one who had clarified the matter was Jiadian Pictures. Without their cooperation, they would not have been able to do it. Based on the results, it looked like they did not receive any benefits. Therefore, for a moment, they could not figure out how this had happened, and why Jiadian Pictures would swallow their pride and still help another company count their case whilst being sold...

Other than those in the entertainment industry and the public relations industry, due to the widespread influence of this incident, the relevant departments in the Imperial Capital were also very concerned. The employee who betrayed Jiadian Pictures was very quickly invited to have tea so that they could understand the situation.

Zhao Licheng was in charge of this matter. At first, Su Yang did not pay much attention to it. After all, with his current status, such matters were no longer worth his attention.

However, he did not expect that even though he did not pay attention to it, the matter would come back to him. After he was done with everything and was prepared to let nature take its course and wait for “Legend Of Wu Zetian” to air, Zhao Licheng suddenly called him...

When he received the call, Su Yang was still chatting on WeChat with Chu Xia.

Chu Xia texted... ‘Su Yang (Acting coquettishly), do you think that the girls outside are pretty?’

Su Yang laid on the sofa like an old dog without any pursuits. He casually typed. ‘Outside? There are pretty ones outside.’

‘Hmph. I’m angry at you now.’

‘You can’t forbid other girls from being pretty just because you’re pretty yourself.’

Chu Xia became speechless when she saw this.

‘Is he complimenting me?

‘But, something doesn’t feel right...’

She asked again. ‘By the way, we’ve been together for so long. Can’t you be more intimate?’

‘How would you like to be more intimate?’

‘You could start by calling me honey...’

‘Oh, It’s time for you to write your novel now, honey.’

On the other end of the WeChat message, Chu Xia was furious! She wished she could grab Su Yang and beat him up to vent her anger!

‘This guy really doesn’t know how to flirt!’

At that moment, Su Yang sneezed twice and rubbed his nose in confusion. ‘I wonder who it is that’s thinking of me...’

Just as he was thinking that, the phone rang.

“Ring...”

Su Yang sat up hesitantly and asked, “Little Deeny, who is it?”

“Master, it’s Zhao Licheng.”

‘Zhao Licheng?

‘Why is he looking for me?’

Su Yang answered the phone.

The moment the call went through, Zhao Licheng’s voice came from the other end. “Mr. Su, there’s something I should report to you.”

Su Yang replied, “Go ahead.”

Zhao Licheng replied, “I met the employee who betrayed us at the police station in the capital. According to our plan, I used the hourglass to search his memories and made a very important discovery.”

When Zhao Licheng was formulating a plan to deal with the traitor, he felt that a single bribery or rumor would not be enough to punish the traitor. Hence, he planned to use the hourglass to check the traitor’s memory and see if there were any other crimes that he could be convicted of. Then, Zhao Licheng would rain down the hammer of death on him.

Su Yang asked, “What important discovery?”

Zhao Licheng said, “He has been poisoning Meiyue all along.”

Su Yang was shocked. “Poisoning Meiyue?”

Zhao Licheng said, “Yes, that’s right. I saw his memory. He used to be Qin Hao’s manager, and since Qin Hao was highly regarded at the time, this man’s position in the company was raised as well.

“This made him think of something that he shouldn’t have. He started to ride on the company’s reputation and play dirty with the trainees.”

“He used the excuse that as long as they slept with him, he could get the company to arrange resources for these trainees, or even debut them. In fact, he had succeeded quite a few times.

“Then, he set his eyes on Meiyue.

“In the end, Meiyue was more innocent and did not understand his hint at first, but after she understood, she reported it to the director of the Artists Department.

“Because of this scandal, and he did not get what he wanted, the company deemed it to be a harassment case and did not make a big deal out of it. Hence, the traitor only received a warning and some penalty.

“After that, the traitor held a grudge against Meiyue and secretly poisoned her. He mixed her food and water with diamond powder. Due to his carelessness while handling the poison... He even affected other trainees.

Su Yang was speechless when he heard this.

Su Yang recalled the scene of the warning that sounded right after he had just received the [Danger Detecting Chopsticks] (Book 363). Then, he recalled how Meiyue fainted last year and was sent to the hospital (chapter 589). He could not help but feel that everything had been brought to light.

‘No wonder I ended up taking out so much diamond powder from Meiyue’s body, but I couldn’t find the reason for it. I see now... So that’s the reason!’

At the thought of this, Su Yang instructed Zhao Licheng, “I’ve already removed the diamond powder in Meiyue’s body. You can look for the trainees from before. On one hand, you can do a physical examination for them and remove the diamond powder. On the other hand, you can also convict that traitor.”

Zhao Licheng answered, “Yes, Mr. Su.”

After hanging up the phone, Su Yang felt that the world was really mysterious. The answer that he had been searching for so long to no avail had suddenly been found. The problem that had troubled him for a long time was solved in an instant.

‘How intriguing...’

With the clues provided by Su Yang and the evidence obtained from the hourglass, Zhao Licheng successfully solved the human and physical evidence. He also skillfully let the police find out about all these things.

Therefore, a civil dispute became a criminal case.

The traitor of the Jiadian Group was quickly arrested and brought to justice. What awaited him was his trial by the law...

After dealing with the traitor, everything became peaceful again.

With the explosion of negative news and the reversal of public opinion, the exposure of “Legend Of Wu Zetian” had reached its peak. The billions of people in the country were all looking forward to the premiere of “Legend Of Wu Zetian”.

Mango TV, Sky Blue TV, and the other three platforms were both happy and worried at the same time.

They were happy because according to the quality of “Legend Of Wu Zetian”, it would definitely be popular. It was almost certain that it would exceed 2.

However, this was also what they were worried about. “Legend Of Wu Zetian” had signed the Staircase Program fee agreement. If the ratings were too high, they would have to pay more money.

The maximum cap was 1.5 times, which meant that five companies would have to pay a grand total of 900 million yuan!

Hence, this made the five platforms feel like they had suffered heavy losses.

However, what was done was done, and there was no way to change it. Furthermore, they had thought things through. Even if they paid Jiadian Pictures the money, they would still earn more!

The more popular the series was, the more advertisement fee they would receive.

Hence, from a certain perspective, they were actually on the same boat as “Legend Of Wu Zetian”.

It was just that... Perhaps because they were tricked by Su Yang, causing them to still felt a little uncomfortable.

Right at this moment, Su Yang sent a ‘gift’ to the five platforms through Li Zijun, which was a short message.

In the message, Su Yang suggested... ‘Since both parties are paying based on the Staircase Program, why can’t the TV station receive advertisement fees based on the Staircase Program as well? After all, there are 90 episodes of “Legend Of Wu Zetian”.’

Su Yang’s idea inspired the five platforms.

Therefore, very quickly, these five platforms started to discuss with the various advertisers about the plan to pay for the viewership ratings.

During the negotiation process, because both parties had the same interests, the five platforms made up their minds and decided to increase their publicity investment. Since the viewership ratings limit was 3, after 3, every 0.1 point would be a net profit!

Thus, the day of the premiere of “Legend Of Wu Zetian” finally arrived...
