<h4>Chapter 837: Going Against “The Entire World”</h4>


    She immediately got thepany to prepare a video of her own testimony and rted evidence to post on Weibo and other major tforms to rify the matter. She also sentwyer letters to all the tforms, VIPs, and marketing ounts that had posted such rumors, requesting them to immediately stop spreading rumors and delete the relevant contents.


    But... All that seems a bit pointless...


    The video had clearly been posted, thewyer’s letter had been sent, and the rification and trending news had been bought over. However, there seemed to be nock of doubts about “Wandering” online. Furthermore, it was getting more and more intense.


    Actually, this was not hard to understand. All the big ounts, marketing ounts, and tforms knew that “Wandering” was currently very popr. As long as it was posted rted to “Wandering”, there would be a lot of views and exposure. In addition, there were people who kept spending money to get it to be posted, so only a fool would not post it!


    As for thewyer’s letter...


    Isn’t that just for show?


    Whichwyer’s letter has actually worked before?


    In the current online world, legal letters have already be a symbol of “ipetence and barking”. Therefore, all the VIPs and marketing ounts did not care.


    If you’re so capable, get yourwyer to take us all in!


    Therefore, Li Zijun’s rification and thewyer’s letter did not seem to have any effect. Furthermore, she realized that when she spent money to buy publicity, the attitude of the various tforms was also rather ambiguous.


    As a three-star talent, how could Li Zijun not know that someone had set their sights on “Wandering” and was preparing to snipe it!


    Therefore, she contacted Su Yang and reported the situation to him before asking for his opinion.


    After Su Yang heard that, he fell silent for a moment before saying nonchntly, “How about this? Go look for National Films and the reviewers and exin the situation.


    “Also, since they don’t care about thewyer’s letter, we’ll send them a subpoena. We have plenty of money anyway, so we’ll give Ol ‘Jia some money and have him hire a group ofwyers to sue them one by one. Then we’ll follow the clues and find out who is behind this. I’d like to see who it is that’s so courageous.”


    Li Zijun was stunned by Su Yang’s domineering attitude.


    ‘Right now, the whole inte is posting rumors about “Wandering”! Does he really n to sue them all?


    ‘Would the entire Jiadian Group be defamed by the media?’


    However, she was only the person in charge of publicity and Su Yang was her boss. Hence, she had no choice but to follow Su Yang’s instructions.


    Soon, she contacted Mr. Jia and asked him to form a legal team to request to sue at various courts!


    Now that Su Yang was in the circle of big shots, his name was really well-known. The moment they heard that his legal team wanted to sue someone, all the courts across the country gave way.


    Soon, in less than a day, all the tforms, VIPs, and marketing ounts received subpoenas from various courts!


    This time, things were getting out of hand.


    No one expected that Su Yang would dare to do such a thing. He really sued every single ount and every tform. As long as anyone dared to spread rumors, they would use ndering as an excuse to reduce the box office earnings and demand hugepensation.


    Furthermore, because “Wandering” was currently being screened, the box office was very easy to estimate. ording to Mr. Jia’s estimation, the previous peak box office of “Wandering” was 460 million yuan. Now, it was only 390 million yuan, so the difference of 70 million yuan was caused by this negative public opinion!


    Therefore, those who spread the rumors had to pay up!


    ‘Oh my god!’ When they received the subpoena, all the major tforms, VIPs, and marketing ounts were dumbfounded. ‘How could we be penalized like this when it’s the public opinion?


    ‘Movie box offices have always been fluctuating!


    ‘Besides, you’ve already been screening for five days! Isn’t it normal for the box office to drop after its peak?


    ‘Besides, it hasn’t lowered that much!


    ‘Take a look at “The Mermaid”? It has already dropped from 270 million yuan to 150 million yuan, hasn’t it?!


    ‘They haven’t got any negative news! They’re doing even worse than you!’


    However, no matter what other people thought, Mr. Jia believed that this difference in ticket sales was caused by all the rumors, and wantedpensation from the people who spread the rumors. The court was also very reasonable. Therefore, all the big tforms and VIPs could only choose to go to court and wait for the verdict or settlement.


    No one had expected that a simple online rumor would be blown out of proportion.


    Therefore, as soon as the incident of Jiadian Group suing all the rumor-mongers across the country happened, it immediately went viral on all major tforms...


    This time, theizens were having a great time.


    In this era, there were too many people who created rumors for various reasons. The people who were harmed were either afraid of the other party’s power, or because they had no money, or because they had already suffered losses and were afraid that thewsuit would blow up even more, so they chose to let the matter rest.


    This made thewyer’s letter a joke.


    However, who would have thought that there would suddenly be an “anomaly” who would sue those people in court for spreading rumors!


    In fact, it was not just one or two people who got sued, but dozens, hundreds! There were tforms, VIPs, and some marketing ounts that were purely trying to gain poprity.


    On all the major tforms, whether it was Weibo, Zhihu, TikTok, Tianya, Maopu, or even some of the popr tforms such as Xiaopo Zhan and Hupu, they were all among theints.


    He would not let any of them off.


    That was not the end of it. Su Yang even posted a short Weibo post.


    ‘Against all the tforms and people who spread rumors, I have prepared awyer team of five billion yuan and a hundred people to fight a long and drawn-outwsuit with you. Even if I throw in all the box office sales of “Wandering”, I will let you know that there is a price to pay for spreading rumors.’


    After that, Jiadian Group, Jiadian Pictures, and several other official Weibo ounts all reposted the post.


    This was like an atomic bomb exploding, and it exploded on the inte.


    Theizens expressed their opinions on this matter.


    Some were against it, thinking that Su Yang had gone overboard.


    “Is there a need to make such a big deal out of a rumor? Where’s our freedom of speech?”


    “You’re using public resources, aren’t you? Who cares if you sue or not?”


    “Is this a publicity stunt? Does Jiadian Group have that much money?”


    Of course, most of them were supportive.


    “They should show those marketing ounts who’s boss! They keep spreading rumors all day! There’s no end to it!”


    “That’s right! These verified ounts and marketing ounts are like parasites. Defeat them all, quickly!”


    “Support for the right to defend! Jiadian Group and “Wandering” are victims, so why can’t they do so?”


    There were also those who praised Su Yang for it.


    “Mr. Su is so domineering! A real man!”


    “I’ve finally seen the power of a real tycoon! He should dare to go against the whole world!”


    “That’s exactly how tough you should be! You’re awesome, Mr. Su!”


    And when this happened, all the tforms, VIP ounts, marketing ounts, and the instigator of the matter, who were the producers of those three movies, were all panicking.


    Previously, they had spent money and put in a lot of effort because creating rumors was not a big deal. Even if they were caught, no one would look into it. However, now that Jiadian Group had decided to fight to the death, they could not just ignore it.


    Not to mention anything else, if Jiadian Group really used a legal team to hold them back in a war of attrition, how much energy would these people need? They would be dragged to death inevitably!


    The producers of the three movies were even more afraid that their identity as the culprit would be exposed. If that happens, their movie would be over! Their reputation in the audience would be over! Their career might as well be over!


    Therefore, they immediately contacted the fake reviewers and asked them to stop their actions. They also started to pay them hush money, asking them not to expose the truth.


    However, even though their actions were mediocre, they could at most seal off the spammers’ mouths, but the tforms could not. These tforms that had been influenced by the spammers were not bribed, and the content of the rumors was mostly because they did not pay attention.


    Now that Su Yang had blown up the matter, the management of several reputable tforms, such as Xiaopo Zhan and Hupu, decided to admit their mistakes after some research. Aftermunicating with Jiadian Group, they reposted Su Yang’s Weibo and attached a public apology letter.


    In the apology letter, a few tforms had failed to supervise him, leading to the existence of rumors. They expressed their apologies and promised to delete all the content of the rumors and ban all the ounts that created them. They were also willing to help the Jiadian Group and the officers to investigate the rted ounts so that the matter could be resolved faster.


    Since the other party was so sincere, Su Yang did not harp on it. He replied to them one by one, expressing his forgiveness and gratitude.


    With this attitude, some of the VIPs who cared about their own reputation apologized one after another. In private, they told the Jiadian Group that someone had instigated them to spread rumors.


    Actually, these VIPs would not have exposed this under normal circumstances. However, the court summons had been sent home. If they did not do anything to salvage the situation, they would have to go to court.


    Based on the photos released by Jiadian Group, the group of 100wyers really existed. If such arge corporation really wanted to fight with a VIP, it could really ruin the VIP’s reputation and cause them to lose all their disciples!


    In particr, there were some verified ounts in the relevant departments who asked around about this matter. In the end, they found out that the big shots in their city were very concerned about this matter and requested to handle it seriously. After that, they knew how strong Su Yang’s rtionship was!


    Therefore, he did not dare take any chances and betrayed the fake reviewers who contacted him without hesitation.


    After obtaining the fake reviewers’ information, Jiadian Group followed the clues and found the fake reviewers. Without hesitation, they sued the fake reviewers and the organizers of the fake reviewers.


    The content of theint was still very simple. It was a loss of reputation and requiredpensation for the impact of the box office. It ranged from tens to hundreds of millions.


    It had to be said that this move was a killer move at a time like this. Even though everyone knew that the Jiadian Group was making random bids, and the court would not really give such a high price, even one-tenth was worth millions! That was a lot of money!


    Furthermore, there was indeed nothing wrong with the logic of the wholepensation. No one dared to gamble with the court. If the court really lost tens of millions, what should they do?


    Therefore, the fake reviewers, who were originally fence sitters, took Wang Jing and the others’ hush money a second ago, and then sold them out without hesitation the next second, just to let the Jiadian Group let him off.


    However, they were different from the tform. They were the real culprits, and no matter how magnanimous Jiadian Group was, they would not let them off. Even the VIPs and Jiadian Group did not withdraw theirwsuit. They only said that they would exin the situation to the court and pass on a lighter sentence.


    Therefore, the moment the movie started to spread rumors about “Wandering”, it only took two days before itpletely reversed.


    Not only were more than a hundred marketing ounts, Inte celebrities, and fake reviewers sent to court, but they also found out who started the incident... Wang Jing and the others.


    Other than Weibo, Zhihu, TikTok, and otherrge social media tforms, which were still holding the fort due to their dominance, ignoring the development of the matter and the flyers from the court, all the “aiders and abetters” were caught and were punished...


    At that moment, the people from the cinema chain looked at each other. They did not expect the whole thing to turn out this way.


    Previously, when Wang Jing and the others came to look for them, they had been hesitating. However, “Wandering” was a movie that had been selected by the National Films and the reviewers, and they had promised to arrange additional showtimes. If there was no reliable reason, it would be inconvenient for them to lower the showtimes.


    In the end, just as they thought that, something happened to “Wandering”. It was exposed that it was not a locally produced movie, but a Hollywood production. The producers of “Wandering” were suspected of selling their emotions.


    Subsequently, even though the Jiadian Group rified the rumor, the situation online did not change.


    At that moment, the people from the cinema chain carefully tested the attitude of the National Films and the reviewers. They asked if they wanted to reduce the number of showtimes for “Wandering”.


    In the end, the response from the two relevant departments surprised the cinema operators...


    “Don’t touch the showtimes for “Wandering”. Reduce the showtimes for “From Vegas To Macau 3”, “The Mermaid” and “Journey to the West”.”


    The directors were stunned. Why would the showtimes of the other three movies be reduced when something happened to “Wandering”?


    Facing their questions, the reviewers only replied with a simple sentence, “You’ve crossed the line.”


    ‘Crossed the line?


    ‘What line?’


    Just as the people at the cinema chain were still confused, Jiadian Group sued hundreds ofpanies and individuals all over the country. Then, step by step, they dug out the fake reviewers and the culprits, the producers of “From Vegas To Macau 3” and three other movies.


    It was then that the cinema operators realized... What had gone wrong with these three movies!


    ‘These three movies are going to be over! They actually dared to attack “Wandering”! Don’t they know that this is a movie that the higher-ups are focusing on?’


    After the meeting with two relevant departments, the people from the cinema chain knew that reviewers and National Films were going to make a domestic movie.


    And now these three movies are targeting “Wandering”, and... They’ve all been caught.


    Everyone in the cinema industry can think clearly about their consequences...


    At this time, after the fake reviewers exposed Wang Jing and the others’ malicious rumors about “Wandering”, theizens were boiling with excitement.


    The doubts about “Wandering” that had been stirred up by the fake reviewers had now turned into hatred for being toyed with!


    They flooded into the Weibos and official ounts of these three movies and started cursing.


    Along with this, the fake reviewers, marketing ounts, big influencers, and even the official tforms that had not apologized and pretended to be dead were all affected...
