Chapter 1,785 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
1785
"Mr. Xu, pay attention to your words. This is the police station. We do not allow anyone to threaten others in the police station." Xiao Lin warned.
"Ha, I'm sorry, Officer Lin, I just wanted to say something." Xu Taiping said with a smile.
Wen Xingyong looked at Officer Lin excitedly and shouted, "Officer, this man is threatening me, arrest him quickly."
"Shut up. Although he threatened you, what he said is not unreasonable. Your sentencing may be based on the actual losses suffered by Mr. Xu." Officer Lin said.
"How could this be possible? I obviously only got 300,000 yuan." Wen Xingyong shouted excitedly.
"Three hundred thousand, which caused me a loss of three billion. You kid, you are really awesome!" Xu Taiping grinned.
Three billion?
Wen Xingyong was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that he had caused such a big loss to Xu Taiping.
Of course, Xu Taiping himself did not expect such a big loss, because he made up this so-called loss. In fact, Wen Xingyong not only did not bring losses to Xu Taiping, but also brought benefits to Xu Taiping. According to the estimates of Xu Taiping's professional team, Xu Taiping's movie box office cannot reach the current 2.8 billion on the first day. It is thanks to Wen Xingyong that his box office has reached such an astonishing level. Logically speaking, Xu Taiping Taiping should give Wen Xingyong a medal.
However, Xu Taiping's main purpose was to scare Wen Xingyong, so naturally he had to make the loss larger.
"Just wait until you sit through the bottom of the cell." Xu Taiping sneered.
Wen Xingyong's face turned pale. He never expected that he would be saddled with three billion yuan.
"Oh, poor thing, I offended someone who shouldn't be offended!" Guo Yunpeng sighed and shook his head, as if he was very sorry.
"Let's go!" Xu Taiping turned around and said.
"Let's go!" Guo Yunpeng nodded, and then the two of them walked out.
"No, please, no!" Wen Xingyong shouted excitedly.
"No? It's too late." Xu Taiping turned to look at Wen Xingyong and said coldly, "When you decided to sell my master tapes, you were doomed today's outcome. Sitting in jail will be your only choice in the future. the result of."
"No, no, no, no, we can't do this, Officer Lin, I... I, I want to report someone!!" Wen Xingyong suddenly shouted.
"Report?" Officer Lin was stunned and asked, "Who do you want to report?"
"The person I want to report is related to my case, Officer Lin. If I report it, will I be considered guilty and meritorious?" Wen Xingyong asked.
"If it is really related to a case, it can be regarded as meritorious service. In fact, if the person you reported did commit illegal and criminal acts, you can be regarded as meritorious service and can reduce some of the punishment!" Officer Lin said.
"Then I want to report, I want to report Dong Jianpeng!!" Wen Xingyong shouted excitedly.
"Dong Jianpeng? Who is that?" Officer Lin asked in surprise.
"You said you wanted to report Dong Jianpeng?" Xu Taiping turned around and walked up to Wen Xingyong and asked, "Why are you reporting him?"
"He was the one who asked me to find this master tape and sell it to pirate websites!" Wen Xingyong said.
"Are you sure?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I'm sure, very sure, boss, I have been working in the cinema for more than ten years. In these ten years, I have not leaked the master tapes of any movie. In fact, I don't sell the master tapes for money at all. People, and our contract also stipulates that once this happens, I will be fined and imprisoned. Therefore, I would never dare to do this. However, Dong Jianpeng found me and gave me a large amount of money. I do this because I am short of money recently, so I can only do this." Wen Xingyong said excitedly.
"How much did he give you?" Xu Taiping asked.
"A total of 10 million was given to me." Wen Xingyong said.
"Do you have evidence to prove that the 10 million yuan was what he gave you, and then it was the master tapes he asked you to sell?" Xu Taiping asked.
"This...this matter is actually done by his secretary. His secretary said that this is what Dong Jianpeng meant. Moreover, his secretary also promised that I will only be imprisoned for three or two years. After I am released, They also want me to be the general manager of their cinema, otherwise how could I possibly break the law!" Wen Xingyong said.
"In other words, you still don't have any evidence, right?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I have 10 million, they gave me 10 million!" Wen Xingyong said.
"Did Dong Jianpeng's account transfer it to you?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I don't know about this either," Wen Xingyong said.
"Without evidence, what you say means nothing." Xu Taiping said.
"Dong Jianpeng really asked me to do this, really!" Wen Xingyong said anxiously.
"It's empty talk." Xu Taiping said.
"Isn't my testimony evidence?" Wen Xingyong said.
"If you can testify against someone by just talking, then why do you need the law?" Xu Taiping asked.
"But this is all true." Wen Xingyong shouted.
"Let's go!" Xu Taiping said to Guo Yunpeng, "It's almost time to go back to sleep."
"Yeah!" Guo Yunpeng nodded, and then walked out of the detention room with Xu Taiping. Officer Lin also walked out with them.
"Mr. Xu, this is the situation now. Wen Xingyong's last words are of little use without evidence. I hope you won't take it seriously," Officer Lin said.
"I know that if Dong Jianpeng can give people a clue about such a trivial matter, then he is not Dong Jianpeng." Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"Although I don't know who Dong Jianpeng is, but...if we get new evidence, we will not let any suspect go," said Officer Lin.
"Thank you!" Xu Taiping said.
"It should!" Officer Lin nodded.
At three o'clock in the morning, Xu Taiping and Guo Yunpeng left the police station together and got in the car back to the hotel.
"Do you think what Wen Xingyong said is true?" Xu Taiping asked suddenly.
"It must be true." Guo Yunpeng said.
"How do you say it?" Xu Taiping asked.
"The distance between him and Dong Jianpeng is too far. There is no need for him to slander Dong Jianpeng, especially when he can't produce any evidence." Guo Yunpeng said.
"I think so too." Xu Taiping nodded, "I came to the police station because I have doubts about this case. If 300,000 yuan can make this Wen Xingyong abandon everything he has now, then this Wen Xingyong has been around for who knows how many years. He would be caught. After so many years, more and more blockbusters have been released. Isn’t selling those blockbusters better than selling our movies? He hasn’t done this in so many years, why did he do it this time? In my opinion, it must be Someone instigated him, so I threatened him again and again, telling him that he would go to jail, but you see, after being threatened, he confessed Dong Jianpeng."
"It's a pity that there is no evidence." Guo Yunpeng said.
"In this world, many things do not require evidence. Evidence is reserved for those who speak the law." Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Guo Yunpeng asked.
"If I don't plan to discuss the law with Dong Jianpeng, then what's the point of asking for evidence?" Xu Taiping said, picked up the phone and made a call.
"Are you sleeping?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Oppa, I haven't slept yet. Oppa, do you miss me?" Jin Xiyan's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Has your face recovered?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Recovered, Oppa!" Jin Xiyan said.
"My movie will hold a celebration banquet in two days. Then I will come to the capital of China. I have some things for you to do." Xu Taiping said.
"Okay, Oppa, I'll go tomorrow!" Jin Xiyan said.
"It's a bit early tomorrow, let's wait in two days, don't worry." Xu Taiping said.
"I want to see Oppa as soon as possible, so I want to go tomorrow, is that okay?" Jin Xiyan asked.
"Okay, but I may not have time." Xu Taiping said.
"It's okay, I'm happy to stay in the same city as Oppa!" Jin Xiyan said with a smile.
"My mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, haha, that's it for now!" Xu Taiping said and hung up the phone.
"What are you going to do, Taiping?" Guo Yunpeng asked.
"Dong Jianpeng asked someone to leak my master tapes in order to make me lose all my money. For such a person, I can only vent my anger by ruining his reputation," Xu Taiping said.
"Let him be ruined? This is not easy!" Guo Yunpeng said.
"Dong Jianpeng doesn't know yet, but we already know that Wen Xingyong is his, so there is still room for maneuver." Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"How to operate?" Guo Yunpeng asked.
"Just wait." Xu Taiping smiled and said, "Let him be happy for a few days first. After all, our box office has hit a record these days, and he can get a lot of money. Later, let him use the money. Spit it all out for us."
"Then I'll wait and see!" Guo Yunpeng said with a smile.
December twenty-six.

Today's movie market is still hot. After creating a box office of 2.8 billion on the first day, the box office of "Tianxing" is still hot on the second day. As of 12 o'clock on the second day, the second day of Tianxing's single-day The box office reached 2.3 billion, and the total box office exceeded 5.1 billion, setting a new box office record in Chinese film history.
The box office on this second day was 500 million lower than the second day. In fact, it was not because the audience's enthusiasm was reduced, but because of the protests of other films. Many films in the same period protested to the competent authorities, saying that all cinemas were 100% Eighty or ninety percent of the movie schedules were given to "Tianxing", which caused their movie schedule to be too low. Therefore, with the intervention of relevant departments, Tianxing's movie schedule was reduced, so the box office shrank.
