This was probably the coldest opening ceremony that many actors, actresses, and directors, as well as the producer Guo Yunpeng, had ever experienced.
It had to be said that Director Martin's influence within the country.
This foreign director successfully overshadowed Ding Zonglei, Lian Ying, and Chen Mao with his own power, causing all the media to give up on these three people and Xu Taiping's investment in this movie.
The scene was very awkward, but Xu Taiping was a person who was used to enjoying himself in the midst of hardships. Therefore, even though there weren't any flashing lights, he was still very happy to finish the opening ceremony with Guo Yunpeng, Chen Mao, and the others.
"Director Chen, I hope that one day, we will make those who did not come to our opening ceremony regret that they missed the opening ceremony of a movie that is well-known for its history." Xu Taiping and Chen Mao walked off the stage together, speaking as they walked.
This was also the first time that Chen Mao had been treated coldly by someone like this. With a solemn expression, he said, "Boss Xu, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Xu Taiping nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to leave with Guo Yunpeng, Xu Taiping suddenly saw someone walk in from outside the fake police station.
Xu Taiping looked carefully and found that the person in the lead was Martin!
Martin led a large group of people and looked as if his film crew was walking over from the outside. Behind these people were a large group of media reporters.
Xu Taiping looked at the people around Martin, there were a few muscles that looked like martial artists and bodyguards, probably because of the shadow Xu Taiping left on Martin last time, so he had to bring these guys along to fight.
Guo Yunpeng stood beside Xu Taiping and said in a low voice, "I just received news that all the media outlets I had made earlier have been informed by Martin. If anyone dares to come and report our opening ceremony, then Martin will have the chance to ban all media outlets and prevent them from reporting anything related to Martin. That's why the media didn't come to us."
"So that's how it is!" Xu Taiping smiled and said, "Is the reputation of a foreign director really that popular in China?"
"That's right. After all, this is director Martin, not some random foreign director!" Guo Yunpeng said.
"Then why did he bring so many people over? You came here to show off your strength? " Xu Taiping asked.
"Probably." Guo Yunpeng nodded.
"Then why didn't he let the people from the movie city chase us away?" Xu Taiping asked.
"There's a shadow of a local government behind this movie city. He doesn't have that much power! However, I still have to remind Chen Mao that Martin's influence is too great, and he might cause trouble. " Guo Yunpeng said.
"Understood!" Xu Taiping smiled and said, "Aren't we worried that we won't be able to get on the news? "Great, Martin sent the news, haha!"
"What do you mean?" Guo Yunpeng asked in surprise.
"Just watch!" Xu Taiping walked over to Martin.
"Oh? Isn't this that, that what?" What do you mean by 'the very rich one'? " Martin asked as they walked towards Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping smiled and said, "Isn't this Director Martin? The director Martin who announced the price but did not buy? Director Martin, if you didn't have the money at that time, you could have just told me. For a director like you to go back on your word, it's just too ugly! "
"Hahaha, I just didn't like that thing anymore." Martin sneered and said, "Sale is free. Who said that you must buy it if you want to bid. That's right, what are you all doing here today? Let me see. This is the opening ceremony of the movie. Not bad, not bad. Didn't any of the media come over? "
"We won't let the media in because we want to keep a low profile and make a good movie during the filming period, if the attention is too high."
This is very disadvantageous for the film, from the artistic point of view, may affect the film's overall artistic nature! " Xu Taiping said seriously.
"The art of the film as a whole? You, a businessman, tell me about the art of film as a whole? " Martin smiled as he walked in front of Xu Taiping, and the people around Martin quickly surrounded Xu Taiping, as if they had received some order in advance. Martin smiled as he walked in front of Xu Taiping, and the people around Martin quickly surrounded Xu Taiping, as if they had received some order in advance.
"Art, this kind of thing, regardless of the crowd or race, I can't talk about art just because I do business?" Xu Taiping asked.
"You have been corrupted by money, what qualifications do you have to talk about art?" Martin said proudly, "Only I have the right to talk about art!"
"Is that so?" Xu Taiping smiled and said, "Since you think so, then let's do it."
"Xu Taiping, let me tell you, I will never forget what happened last time!" Martin suddenly sneered at Xu Taiping and said in a low voice, "This time, you and my crew are both in the vertical store, so I'll play with you properly. If this movie of yours can be made, it'll be considered my loss!"
"Is that so?" Xu Taiping smiled playfully, "You brought so many people and so many reporters here, are you here to show off to me?"
"I'm here to show you off. These reporters come from major media outlets, so I brought them here to see you. However, they won't report any news related to your movies tomorrow. I'll make you crave for death! Hahaha!" Martin laughed proudly.
"Then, the people beside you, do you plan to become your bodyguard?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Perhaps, this mad dog of yours might want to bite me out of embarrassment and anger? I have to be a bit on guard! " Martin said.
"Then your guess is quite accurate, I really intend to bite you!" As Xu Taiping spoke, he grinned and without any warning, he kicked on Martin's stomach.
Martin was kicked in the stomach and was forced a few steps back. Fortunately, he was quickly supported by the people around him so he did not fall down.
Seeing that their director had been beaten up, those martial artists charged towards Xu Taiping in a rage. And further away, those reporters had all turned on their cameras and pointed them at them.
Although Martin had told them that they were not allowed to shoot the opening ceremony, they did not say that Martin was not allowed to be beaten up. It was the first time in many years that a director had been beaten up.
Suddenly, a white crane flapped its wings, and with a beautiful roundhouse kick, it sent two martial artists who were close to it flying. At the same time, Xu Taiping pushed away the other two martial artists with a beautiful hand grip, and a powerful force knocked all of the martial artists behind them to the ground. Afterwards, Xu Taiping somersaulted back and dodged several people's attacks, and then with a powerful and beautiful martial skill, he knocked several people to the ground.
The entire process only lasted about fifteen seconds.
The seven to eight martial artists that Martin had brought with him were all lying on the ground, unable to get up. Xu Taiping's movements were extremely cool and unrestrained, just like a legendary martial arts expert.
Then, he looked at Martin, who had not recovered from the kick, and said, "This daddy here has also said this. In the future, as long as I appear in front of you, I don't care how many people you have with me. This daddy here will beat you up every time I see you!"
Martin's face was unsettled. He did not expect that the people he brought would not even be able to withstand a single attack. All of them fell within ten seconds. Wasn't this Xu Taiping's combat strength too terrifying?
He wanted to say something, but when he thought about how no one could protect him anymore, he couldn't help but take two steps back and say, "Xu Taiping, I was originally thinking that since our two movies started on the same day, I would bring my people over to greet you. I didn't think that you would actually hurt people.
"Foreign guests?" Have you heard of a song from China called "My Motherland"? " Xu Taiping asked.
Martin was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Xu Taiping would suddenly mention the Chinese song at this time.
"If a friend comes, then there's a good wine. If that jackal comes, then there's a hunting rifle waiting for him. "You untrustworthy jackal!" Xu Taiping scolded loudly.
"Well said!" Guo Yunpeng led the applause.
The crew who had been in a depressed mood the entire time now applauded loudly upon hearing Xu Taiping's words.
"You bastard, remember this!" Martin gritted his teeth and glared at Xu Taiping as he turned to leave. When the people he brought with him saw that their director had left, they quickly got up and left with him.
A series of flashing lights lit up on the scene. Xu Taiping had his hands behind his back, not looking at the cameras, but keeping himself at the best angle for the cameras.
These reporters might have been really afraid of Martin after filming for a while, so they did not come up to conduct an interview. Instead, they all turned around and left.
Guo Yunpeng walked over from the side and said with a wry smile, "CEO Xu, you're finally going to be famous this time."
"I've become famous. Our production team has also become famous." Xu Taiping smiled, "Since we can't get these media reporters to report our opening ceremony, then it's good to let them report on us in a different way. Isn't this what the entertainment industry usually does?"
"Indeed, this is also a form of hype. CEO Xu, I didn't think that you'd be so familiar with the rules of the entertainment circle!" Guo Yunpeng said in admiration.
"It's the same as always. If you want to be popular, you just have to pick the most famous person in this industry and start firing. Every industry is like this!" Xu Taiping smiled and said, "Let's go eat."
