At the southeast side of the movie city.

Martin held his stomach and sat on the chair, saying, "I must make Xu Taiping pay the price. I can't just let it go like this. He kicked me, I must get my revenge!"

"Director!" The assistant director said in a low voice, "We can call the police. With so many people watching him beat people, the police will definitely take care of it. Although they won't be sentenced, they will definitely detain him if he stirs up trouble.

"Is that so?!" Martin looked at his assistant director in pleasant surprise and said, "Your Chinese police would really care about this?"

"It will, your identity is there, they have no choice but to care about it even if they don't want to. In addition, I recommend that you join those media and complain about Xu Taiping on the internet, accusing him of being a gangster or something. In any case, don't hesitate to discredit him. The assistant director said.

"Fine, I will do as you say and immediately call the police. Also, immediately let those media reports about Xu Taiping hitting me, I will make sure this bullshit 'Heaven's Path' movie doesn't go on. I will also make sure that Xu Taiping will go to jail! "Bastard!" Martin roared.

The assistant director nodded, then turned around and left.

Lunch.

Xu Taiping, Guo Yunpeng, Zhao Biqian, as well as director Chen Mao, as well as male and female lead, Ding Zonglei, Lian Ying, and an assistant director, as well as Zhao Xiaohua, were all seated at a table.

Although Xu Taiping was a newcomer, he was an investor, so he sat in the main seat. Guo Yunpeng was a producer, so he sat on the side of Xu Taiping, while Ding Zonglei sat on the other side of Xu Taiping.

In terms of a big name, Ding Zonglei could be said to be the biggest actor in the cast, even more so than Chen Mao. Therefore, at a private dinner like this, Ding Zonglei was seated better than the director. Of course, the director was seated on the other side of Guo Yunpeng, which was not much worse than Ding Zonglei's.

Outside the door were the assistant director, Lian Ying, and then Zhao Xiaohua and Zhao Buqian.

These two father and daughter pair, Zhao Biqian was a cleaner while Zhao Xiaohua was the second female, so their statuses were not even on the same level here. Although Xu Taiping knew them well, they still needed to be clear about their ranking. If Zhao Xiaohua sat next to Xu Taiping, it would be equivalent to lowering the status of the director and the other stars in the movie, which wouldn't be good for the rest of the shoot. Only those investors who thought that they had invested some money would do such a thing, and Xu Taiping was a man who followed the rules.

Although the seating arrangement was very particular, everyone at the table was rather casual. A group of people were eating and drinking wine at the same time. Xu Taiping even specially discussed with Chen Mao some of his insights about movies.

Chen Mao had originally thought that Xu Taiping was just an upstart with a bit of money. However, he hadn't expected that after these words, Xu Taiping's understanding and appreciation of movies had actually surpassed his imagination. Especially Xu Taiping's favorite movie, ; this was also Chen Mao's favorite movie.

The two of them had a tendency to hate each other for being late. Chen Mao grabbed Xu Taiping and drank quite a bit of wine.

Only Zhao Xiaohua was the quietest at the table. Other than talking to Zhao Buqian from time to time, he just sat quietly and ate. Occasionally, they would drink together, and then they would take out their wine cups, as if Xu Taiping's words had severely hurt her pride.

Although Lian Ying was a young person in the entertainment circle, she still had a deep understanding of the entertainment circle. Zhao Xiaohua was the second female lead, yet he could appear in such an occasion and even dare not to curry favor with the producers and investors. It was clear that this Zhao Xiaohua was definitely an investor, but what made Lian Ying curious was why this Zhao Xiaohua was so low-key. If you don't want to fawn on others, you should at least show some enthusiasm, right?

As an old Jianghu, Ding Zonglei was also able to see through Zhao Xiaohua's problem, but he was very calm. As an old Jianghu of the entertainment circle, he knew that there were some things he should know and some things he shouldn't know.

While Xu Taiping and his men were eating and drinking, the news of Xu Taiping beating someone up got on the headlines of all the entertainment news under the manipulation of some people!

The people watching the news were dumbfounded. An international great director had actually been beaten up by someone in a vertical store's movie city? And the person who beat him up was the sponsor of another movie?

What kind of investor was this? Was he that amazing? He even dared to hit an international great director?

The power of the internet was terrifying. Not long after, Xu Taiping's identity was revealed.

As for the reason for the beating, there were many versions of it on the internet. For example, this Xu Taiping had once invited Martin to make a movie, but Martin rejected him, so he hit Martin, or this Xu Taiping wanted to invest in the upcoming movie "Heavenly Path," which was supposed to be released soon, so he hit Martin. Some people said that Xu Taiping was from the underworld and wanted to collect protection fees at the vertical store, so he asked the current biggest director of the vertical store, Shadow City, Martin, to do it.

There were all sorts of rumors going around. And at this time, many people from the entertainment circle who wanted to curry favor with Martin stood forward and began criticizing Xu Taiping's ugly actions. They also hoped that the entire entertainment circle would reject a movie by scum like Xu Taiping.

Of course, there were also some more rational people who hoped that the local police would be able to investigate the cause and effect. However, in this entertainment circle, there were still a lot of people who wanted to curry favor with the international director. Thus, these rational people's rational statements were quickly drowned out by the wave of resistance towards Xu Taiping.

Meanwhile, Xu Taiping and his men were still eating and drinking, so they didn't have time to worry about these things. Just as they were eating and drinking, the door to their room was suddenly opened very impolitely.

A few policemen came in through the door.

"Which one of you hit me just now!?" the leader of the police asked as he looked around at the people present.

Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows, smiled and stood up, "I did."

"You beat someone up, and yet you drink wine here so leisurely? Come with me! " The stout policeman said.

"They really called the police." Xu Taiping said with a mocking face, "Police, I kicked him. I'm just doing my best to defend myself, is there a need to enter the police station?"

"Don't you know who you're hitting?" The sturdy police frowned and said, "That's an international director, you are losing the face of us Chinese, do you know that?"

"I really don't know!" Xu Taiping looked at him coldly and said, "How can I lose my face as a Chinese? I hit a foreigner and I lose face for a Chinese? We Chinese have been beaten up by foreigners, how could we not hear them say that they have disgraced their country? Just because I fought, I will lose the face of a country. Isn't this overestimating me? "

"Don't you know that he's an international great director?" The burly policeman said with a darkened face, "Who are you hitting? International director? If they poke their nose into this matter, everyone would think that China is a barbaric and lawless place. Isn't that just throwing our face away? Come with me! "

"If a big director can discredit a China's face, then this China's face is too worthless. I'll go with you guys, I want to see, I f * cking kicked him, what can you do to me!" After Xu Taiping finished speaking, he looked at Guo Yunpeng and the rest and said, "You guys stay here and drink. I'll go to the police station."

"Comrade Police, I think there must have been some misunderstanding. It was caused by that foreigner!" Guo Yunpeng explained.

"All of you shut up. You all eat and drink your wine. We will take care of this matter." The stocky policeman said.

"Officer, I am Chen Mao. I can testify that it was the other party who provoked me!" Chen Mao stood up and said.

"I can prove it too!" Ding Zonglei also stood up and said.

"Oh? Since you all are able to prove it, why don't you all follow me to the base?" The robust police officer jokingly asked.

Entering the police station, this was a huge matter for any public figure. If anything went wrong, it would be easy for people to collapse. Ding Zonglei hesitated for a moment before he sat down.

"Boss Xu?" It looks like you have a relationship of interest? "Then your testimony is useless. You all stay here obediently, this is not a big deal. At most, you will be detained for a few days and don't blow up this matter. At that time, no one will be able to look good!" The burly policeman said, looked at Xu Taiping and said, "Let's go?"

"Alright!" Xu Taiping nodded, and followed him out of the private box.

"Boss Guo, what should we do about this?" Do you want me to find a friend?! " Chen Mao asked with concern.

"No need." Guo Yunpeng shook his head. He knew Xu Taiping's power, he was someone who would casually turn hundreds of millions of dollars into nothing. How could someone like him be easily bullied?

Thinking of this, Guo Yunpeng smiled and said to Chen Mao, "Director Chen, Old Ding, just now, the two of you stood out to help Boss Xu. You two will definitely not regret standing here."

"What do you mean?" Chen Mao and Ding Zonglei looked at Guo Yunpeng in confusion.

Chief Xu's power is much greater than you can imagine. If Martin wants to take care of Chief Xu, the final result can only be his bad luck. As Guo Yunpeng spoke, he picked up the wine glass on the table and said, "Let's drink. In a while, Boss Xu will be back!"

Other than Zhao Buqian and Zhao Xiaohua, everyone present was somewhat puzzled. Just how much skill did this Xu Taiping have? They really had no idea! Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
