Chapter 435 - 435 Blacklisted
435 Blacklisted
Guangshu clicked on the link to Weibo sent by his assistant and directly jumped to the Weibo app.
Feng Videos V: [This time, the editing of “Yu Jun, The Legend of Qing Yan” has affected the audience’s viewing of the drama. As a broadcasting platform, Feng Videos also has an unshirkable responsibility. Feng Videos would like to make a solemn statement here. From today onwards, all dramas to be aired exclusively on Feng Videos will be reviewed by the relevant departments after they have passed the review. If there are quality problems or messy editing, Feng Videos would refuse to broadcast the drama and blacklist the director and related production staff. We would no longer purchase any works directed by the director in the future. As of now, Feng Videos also propose that production companies should be strict with the quality and present excellent TV series to the audience, instead of using their power to mess around and bring a very bad viewing experience to the audience, which would cause huge losses to the platform.

The picture was the main document of the proposal.
Moreover, Feng Videos wasn’t just saying it for show.
!!
Just a minute after this Weibo post, Feng Videos posted a new Weibo.
Feng Videos V: [According to Feng Videos’ internal investigation, the director of “Yu Jun, The Legend of Qing Yan,” Li Guangshu, did not edit the show properly. Hence, Feng Videos will not purchase any of Director Li Guangshu’s episodes from now on.]
However, Feng Videos’ two Weibo posts directly pointed out the name and title and didn’t give any face to at all. They immediately became the top of the hot search.
[Li Guangshu is blacklisted by Feng Videos.]
[Feng Videos will forever refuse to cooperate with Li Guangshu.]
Among these two hot searches, a marketing account also posted the moments of Yan Zhengxing’s, the general manager of Feng Videos’ TV series business department.
Yan Zhengxing: [We’ve been screwed over by this director who doesn’t know what’s going on. The platform would have to bear the consequences and losses caused by editing the series for his own benefit. In the future, we would refuse to cooperate with this kind of person. All the film companies and platforms should also avoid the lightning. I’m going to name Li Guangshu directly.]
[Damn, Feng Videos is so strong.]
[It seems that the TV series’ broadcast results are not as good as expected because of the messy editing. This has made Feng Videos very angry.]
[Feng Videos has released three explosive series in a row and was very optimistic about this series. After all, it’s a big S+ project. When filming first started, the three major platforms participated in the competition for the broadcast rights of this series. Feng Videos spent a lot of money to buy it because they trusted the director and the cast, but they didn’t expect to be scammed by Li Guangshu. How could Feng Videos not be angry?]
[After this, I’m guessing that there will be a major reshuffle in the film and television market. At the very least, Feng Videos would be cautious and not participate in pre-order TV series projects anymore. They didn’t get to see the final product, but just because the cast looked reliable, they bought the drama in advance to attract investment, and in the end, they suffered a huge loss. In the future, it’ll be difficult for any production company to use this method to pay back in advance.]
[Li Guangshu single-handedly cut off the income of so many producers. I’m afraid it’ll be hard for them to survive in the industry in the future.]
[That’s true. Although Li Guangshu is considered a famous director, the new directors are all eyeing his spot. They have creativity and new ideas, and in many ways, they actually have an advantage over the famous old directors.]
[But Feng Videos is so ruthless, what if Li Guangshu’s drama explodes after that? If Feng Videos doesn’t buy it, wouldn’t they be losing out?]
[Why would it be a loss? Feng Videos is such a big platform, and there is no lack of a popular drama. Moreover, it isn’t that easy for a hit drama to appear. Previously, Feng Videos had been lucky and had dropped three hit dramas close to each other. If you look at the three major platforms, one drama a year is already a lot. It would be good if they could produce a really popular drama every two or three years. It’s not that easy to shoot a hit drama.]
[Moreover, it’s impossible for Feng Videos to guarantee that it can buy a hit drama every time. The exclusive shows of Peanut Video and Guopie video have also exploded in popularity, but Feng Videos can’t do anything about it.]
[But looking at Li Guangshu’s drama, although it’s not a hit, the results have always been consistent. That was why Feng Videos trusted him and ordered it in advance. But this time, no matter what the reason was, Li Guangshu has already destroyed his own reputation. It’s not just Feng Videos, the other two major platforms will probably have reservations about Director Li Guangshu’s dramas in the future.]
[This has created a cycle. Li Guangshu’s dramas are definitely not going to be bought by Feng Videos, and the other two platforms don’t trust Li Guangshu enough because of him screwing over Feng Videos. They’ll just wait and see, not sure if they’ll buy it or not. Li Guangshu’s reputation has been ruined, so the film company will not risk not being able to sell their drama by employing Li Guangshu. After all, there are many other directors who can replace him.]
[Oh my God, it looks like Li Guangshu is in danger of losing his job.]
[Who would’ve thought that by only cutting Jiang Xun’s scenes in the beginning, it would develop to the point where Li Guangshu is directly facing unemployment?]
[In the beginning, Li Guangshu probably really thought that it was fine to cut Jiang Xun’s scenes. He must have done this many times in the past. As a director, he still had a lot of power in his hands. Small-time actors didn’t dare to say anything, and A-list actors didn’t want to fall out with the director. He didn’t expect to encounter Jiang Xun, who doesn’t follow the rules at all. Li Guangshu definitely kicked an iron plate this time.]
Guangshu was dumbfounded when he saw Feng Videos’ Weibo.
However, Feng Videos had blacklisted him without even saying a word, not even giving him a chance to refute!

Zhengxing even directly mentioned his name in his moments.
Guangshu recognized that the marketing account had indeed posted Zhengxing’s moments and was not an imposter.
Guangshu could not be bothered to think about apologizing to Jiang Xun and hurriedly called Zhengxing.
However, Zhengxing did not pick up.
Even if Guangshu wanted to explain or apologize, he couldn’t find anyone.
He then called the CEO of Feng Videos, Xu Dashi, but he still couldn’t get through.
From the looks of it, Feng Videos had made up its mind to shut him out.
Just as Guangshu was panicking, he received a call from the producer of “Yu Jun, The Legend of Qing Yan.”
“Director Li, how did this matter end up like this?” Guangshu picked up the phone. The producer didn’t bother with small talk and asked directly, “Why did you edit the show like that?”
Guangshu could only push all the blame to Shihe. “It’s Mu Shihe. She contacted me under the Mu Corporation’s name. She even wanted me to delete all of Jiang Xun’s scenes. It wasn’t easy for me to fight for it. As you know, the Mu Corporation is a major investor in this film, so I couldn’t afford to offend them.”
“If you can’t offend them, why didn’t you tell me? Just to satisfy Mu Shihe, you’re willing to risk the interests of all the investors?” The producer was furious. “The Mu Corporation isn’t the only investor in this drama. Since you’re so willing to listen to Mu Shihe, let the Mu Corporation invest in you in the future, okay?”
At this point, Guangshu could only lower his head and apologize. “I really didn’t think enough. I just called CEO Xu and CEO Yan of Feng Videos, but they didn’t answer my call. I don’t even have the chance to apologize, or guarantee that I will change my attitude.”
