Chapter 60: He Insists on Compensating for Our Losses?

"Damn it!"

"Sue, support Tianyu in suing these bastards. After watching this damn movie, we don't even know who to claim mental damages from!"

"Damn, damn it. The movie 'Sun Wukong vs. Superman 2' is truly damn rotten to the point of madness... After I went to the cinema and watched it, I feel my eyes are damn blind!"

"But, don't say it, you really shouldn't say it, this movie is truly damn original in its plot. Otherwise, you bastards, go plagiarize. Being so original that it hurts the eyes, I also support suing, to fight for mental damages for us who watched the movie!"

"Yeah!"

"Damn..."

"I damn laughed, what is Zhou Yang going to do? Wait, what did he say? He damn said he wants to film 'Zhengban Tiao Ren: Reboot'? Make his own superhero universe?"

"Oh my god! Don't come and harm people, I beg you, or just give me your bank card account number directly, I'll give you 5 yuan, just don't film..."

"..."

In the office of the 'Movie Home' forum.

The webmaster, Yang Bo, stared excitedly at the traffic of Movie Home!

From the site's launch in April until now, the basic traffic within the 'Movie Home' website forum has remained just ordinary.

Until July, when that 'Sun Wukong vs. Superman 2' suddenly appeared on the 'Movie Home' forum board...

Netizens with nowhere to vent swarmed into Movie Home like a flood...

As of 10 o'clock on the night of August 8...

The registered users of 'Movie Home' have already approached 30,000 people!

Yes, on July 19, the total registered users were only 8,000, but by August 8, in less than half a month, it surged by 22,000 people!

In this era where the internet is just beginning to rise, and moreover in the movie sector, this is already an astonishing miracle!

Yang Bo looked excitedly at the stream of comments and data.

Seeing that over 60% of users were all discussing topics related to 'Superman 2', and within that 60%, nearly 80% were all discussing Zhou Yang's despicable shamelessness and how rotten, how rotten the movie 'Sun Wukong vs. Superman 2' was!

And today, the active traffic of 'Movie Home' went even crazier; among the over 30,000 registered users, the active traffic approached 15,000 people!

Especially after the '1819' program aired, more and more netizens who watched TV and longed for a spectacle ran to their 'Movie Home' to join the fun...

Gazing at this overwhelming traffic!

Yang Bo trembled excitedly without stopping!

"Yes, yes, make Zhou Yang a trending search term, yes, and '1819', yes, and that Zhou Yang's clumsy acting, no, that sorrowful look, give it a big cover close-up!"

"Yes!"

"Then, we continue to track the program..."

"By the way, 'Zhengban Tiao Ren: Reboot', this movie, we should list it too! The discussion around this movie is starting to pick up..."

"No relevant data for that movie?"

"Go search, if you can't search, make it up. Also, try to contact Zhou Yang... No, I myself will personally contact Zhou Yang, and at the same time follow Zhou Yang to livestream the heat of this infringement event in text and photos..."

"Yes, yes, yes! Yes! What is Zhou Yang's phone number? Where is his address? The Gongan Bureau?"

"Okay! You help me manage the website traffic, I will personally go to 'Xuan Shi Entertainment'..."

"Late? If it's late, it doesn't matter..."

"..."

11 o'clock at night.

A taxi stopped at the entrance of 'Xuan Shi Entertainment'.

Yang Bo hurriedly got out of the car, and then, shockedly discovered that the entrance of 'Xuan Shi Entertainment' was already surrounded by countless reporters at this very moment.

Among these reporters were several familiar figures.

There were those from 'Huaxia Movie News', those from 'Weekly Movie', those from 'Entertainment Big Era'...

The series of discussions on the internet, plus that lawyer's letter, Zhou Yang's grievance on TV, and that angry look as if declaring war on Tianyu, and the discussion heat of the movie 'Sun Wukong vs. Superman 2' which was rotten to the sky on the internet, and a series of other contents, all exploded the heat at once!

Everyone, at this very moment, was like a cat smelling blood, excitedly swarming towards 'Xuan Shi Entertainment'.

The entertainment circle is itself a field of fame and fortune!

Wherever there is a focal point, there are reporters!

The reporter from the '1819' program group, Lin Liwei, was at the very front at this moment, personally carrying the camera, the lens always pointed at that figure.

"I didn't expect, I really didn't expect, this time, we would get so much attention..."

"So much attention puts great pressure on me..."

"However, I know, all you media friends are very enthusiastic, and all hope to help me solve this matter..."

"I have thought about it for a long time. Since we encountered this matter, and moreover, it is a time when we have nowhere to retreat, we cannot fear trouble... I feel that some things, escaping is useless. I hope to solve it through communication..."

"Today, we are very tired, we cannot give you all an explanation..."

"The weather is too late, we need to rest."

"However, tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow, I will personally visit Tianyu, with the greatest sincerity, to solve this matter..."

"..."

Zhou Yang looked at the media one by one.

His gaze was very sincere, and also very genuine.

After speaking, he accepted no more interviews, but walked step by step into the company, ignoring the swarming media reporters, and resolutely closed the door.

When Zhou Yang walked into the room.

The expression on his face gradually became serious.

Under the shocked gazes of Shen Long and the others, he silently took out a book titled "Intellectual Property Legal Provisions" and began to read.

About ten minutes later...

He then took out the poster for "Sun Wukong Battles Superman 2" and the poster for the new movie "Zhengban Tiao Ren: Reboot," staring at them for a long time.

Finally, he took out his phone and called Li Dongqiang, the one who had previously engaged in piracy.

"Hello, Mr. Li, the Authorized Zhengban revenue share, I recall it's 20,000 RMB today, right? Please settle it with me tomorrow..."

"Right!"

"What do I need to do?"

"Mr. Li, you've seen the public opinion storm online, haven't you? I just thought it over carefully and checked; we do indeed have a few places where there are minor disputes over infringement. For instance, our poster looks a bit like..."

"Right!"

"Tomorrow, I plan to go to Tianyu in person, apologize before the media, visit their door, and resolve these disputes through negotiation. If necessary, I'll even pay some compensation..."

"????"

The person on the other end was stunned upon hearing this!

Shen Long, standing nearby, was also shocked upon hearing this!

He stared at Zhou Yang as if seeing a ghost.

…………………………

Morning of August 9.

Deng Hairong, who was sleeping, received a call from the company with sleepy eyes.

Immediately after...

He was completely stunned!

"Didn't I agree to a cold treatment?"

"What? What did you say?"

"That bloodsucker, damn it, brought a huge crowd of media over, insisting on meeting us to personally clear up the misunderstanding?"

"What did you say!"

"Wait!"

"Say that again!"

"You say that this son of a bitch is insisting on compensating us for mental distress? He's coming over in public with the money?"

"???"
