Chapter 444: Information Leak, Boycott

Yang Qing's acquisition of Eternal Splendor's production studio quickly reached Shao Yi's ears.

But Yang Qing is now busy with TVB matters, so he can't attend to it at all.

He can only assign Miss Fang Hua to keep an eye on Eternal Splendor, and if a threat is discovered, launch a strike immediately.

Not long after, the news of Eternal Splendor's production studio's improvements was spread.

Although Chen Ziqiang repeatedly emphasized secrecy, paper cannot contain fire, and the news was still exposed.

Eternal Splendor's privileges emerged, sweeping the entire Gangdao film and television world.

Shameless Yang Qing started to plague the film industry again.

For such a plague, everyone tacitly chose to boycott.

Miss Fang Hua directly chose to blacklist Eternal Splendor—actors, directors, cinemas, and distribution lines all fully boycotted Eternal Splendor's production studio.

Others followed suit.

Yang Qing, who didn't follow, also shouldn't be too close.

Chen Ziqiang, preparing a big move, was given a sudden blow.

Chen Ziqiang, angry, cursed at the department.

"Who, who leaked the news? Whoever has a clue, report to me, 10,000 yuan reward."

"Boss Yang, aren't we good enough to you? You guys are harming Eternal Splendor like this."

"You treacherous thing, don't let me catch you, I'll kill you."

A logistics staff member, hearing Chen Ziqiang's angry shouts, realized his deeds couldn't stay hidden and voluntarily approached Chen Ziqiang.

He was anxious and uneasy.

"Sorry, Boss Chen, I didn't mean it. I was drunk and bragged, and it slipped out."

He also deeply regretted it, but it was already too late.

Chen Ziqiang was furious; you, after drinking, spilled the truth and caused them such a huge trouble?

"Get out, you get out, I don't want to see you again."

Chen Ziqiang also couldn't, just because of someone's carelessness, treat them that way.

Moreover, the person even apologized proactively.

Fortunately, Chen Ziqiang didn't know much; if everything were spilled, who knows what would happen.

At least Shao would not hesitate to kill him.

Yang Qing also got this news; he originally wanted to bring Li Long over through his fellow hometown man Zhang Now we need to output lines: English, but now that's impossible—Li Long has some connections with Shao, and Zhang Now we need to output lines: English needs to find someone, not knowing who will benefit.

But now Eternal Splendor urgently lacks a martial arts star; where to find one?

Yang Qing thought, now there are performers with martial arts skills, so it must be the theater troupe.

However, it's best now to first ease relations with Shao.

Don't let them go all out against you.

Yang Qing brought gifts to visit Shao Yi; Shao Yi, upon hearing it was Yang Qing, didn't even look, and had someone send him away.

Yang Qing then took Chen Ziqiang to see Fang Hua.

This time they actually met.

Fang Hua also gave Yang Qing no friendly face; she hates these nouveau riche the most. Shao Yi started a TV station, spending money like water; now Shao is tightening its belt, and you now pull this stunt, directly stabbing Shao's weak point.

Unless Shao Yi abandons the TV station, this is unsolvable.

She could never give Yang Qing a friendly face.

Seeing others sit without a word, Yang Qing shamelessly sat down with a grin.

"Miss Fang, sorry to disturb you."

Fang Hua saw such a huge embarrassment, Yang Qing didn't care at all, just knew this person was hard to deal with.

"Boss Yang, if there's anything, say it quickly, we're very busy at Shao."

Yang Qing chuckled.

"Isn't there a misunderstanding between Eternal Splendor and Shao? I'm here to smooth things over, see if it can be resolved."

Fang Hua didn't waste words with Yang Qing.

"Can those privileges of Eternal Splendor be reverted?"

Chen Ziqiang was furious; Yang Qing shook his head.

"Probably not. Once spoken, it's like water spilled; now I want to retract my words, Eternal Splendor might as well just shut down."

Fang Hua waved a hand.

"Then that's that, keep letting Eternal Splendor continue, will Shao still do it?"

"We don't have Mr. Yang's wealth. Shao was built by us little by little; even maintaining it is hard, every cent matters to us."

"Eternal Splendor isn't easy, Shao is easy?"

"If you roast Shao over fire, you can't blame us for taking drastic measures."

Yang Qing nodded, stood up and walked out.

"Understood, then Manager Fang, goodbye."

Leaving Shao's main gate, Chen Ziqiang asked.

"Boss Yang, this trip was in vain."

Yang Qing smiled and shook his head.

"No, we are juniors; we must maintain proper posture."

Chen Ziqiang didn't understand.

"Then it's still about fighting."

Yang Qing nodded.

"This fighting and fighting is different; one is we break the rules and get beaten, the other is we are forced to retaliate—nominally this is different."

"What we lack is just a pretext; now we have it."

"When we go back, arrange people to spread the news that we were driven out."

"Then get ready; let's fight."

"The clash of the new and old forces—without blood and fire, how could it possibly succeed?"

Eternal Splendor has institutional advantages, Shaw Brothers has resource advantages; the longer the fight drags on, the more favorable it is for Eternal Splendor.

The news came out quickly; since our boss suffered such a grievance, the headline must avenge the boss, firmly resisting this overbearing behavior.

As soon as the news came out, it made the people at Eternal Splendor's studio hot-blooded and excited.

Wang Tianlin's *The Neurological Blade* sped up the filming progress.

Xiang Qiang did his work on set conscientiously, but his acting was really mediocre.

After Wu Yusen entered Eternal Splendor, he went to work on the set; everyone knew this guy was introduced by Boss Yang, so they looked after him.

Seeing that he seemed familiar with the crew, Wang Tianlin placed him in an assistant position.

This let him have more contact with filming.

Here at Eternal Splendor, filming was booming; over at Shaw Brothers, it was also lively, with many films launched one after another.

And Yang Qing secretly had Chen Ziqiang bring over the Seven Little Fortunes.

Seven kids in their early teens, at the prime of their vigor, after learning about Eternal Splendor's treatment, cleanly signed ten-year contracts.

Yang Qing watched, delighted beyond measure.

Indeed, it's still easy to fool children who haven't seen the world.

With the addition of the Seven Little Fortunes, the filming speed of *The Neurological Blade* became even faster.

After *The Neurological Blade* filming was completed, the first part of the new script *Gangdao Hero Hua Mulan* had already been finished.

Wang Tianlin had no time to rest and jumped into filming the new movie.

Meanwhile, Chen Ziqiang devoted himself to promoting the release of *The Neurological Blade*.

Because he had a contract with Cathay, Zhu Guoliang couldn't wriggle out of it and could only let former employee Chen Ziqiang mess around.

*The Neurological Blade* pioneered the kung fu comedy genre; upon release it was greeted with acclaim.

Yang Qing also took the opportunity to worm his way in to see Jin Daxia.

The Ming Pao now, although its circulation has surpassed the 100,000 mark, has become a first-rate newspaper.

But this is all thanks to Lao Jin exchanging his hair for it.

So when he sees Yang Qing, he has no pleasant expression at all.

"What are you coming over here for?"

Yang Qing's face, like Tang Sanzang's, is very deceitful.

"Oh dear, Uncle Jin, are you not welcoming me?"

"Where have I offended Uncle Jin?"

"Change, I will definitely change."

Jin Daxia doesn't want to say more to him; last time he was duped into giving away some shares, and he still feels sorry about that.

"If there's something, speak up."

Yang Qing chuckled and edged closer.

"I want to buy the film and television rights to your novel, Hero."
