"Alright, alright, stop guessing."
"Among the actors from earlier, a portion are indeed signed under my film and television company, but Brother Jing and Brother Hua are big stars with their own brand images."
"The way they posted was purely following the trend and joking around."
"'Actors under my company?' General Qin has a film and television company?"
Hearing Qin Xuan's explanation, the bullet comments immediately started questioning.
Qin Xuan nodded. He had never intended to hide what he was doing.
"Everyone has seen what happened to Liu Qing. Although the main reason for her suicide was the online trolls, the toxic fan culture is also undeniably a contributing factor."
"This isn't something one person or a group can solve."
"It requires the entire social environment and the entire domestic entertainment industry to cooperate in rectification."
"I, Qin, am not talented, and though I'm not in the industry, I wish to see a better entertainment circle."
"So, I spent some money to gather as many good actors and directors with good acting skills and character as possible."
"We'll film together, work hard together, and inject some healthy blood into our domestic entertainment industry."
"Attempting to use good currency to drive out bad currency."
Qin Xuan's words came from the heart, and naturally, they received widespread support from the bullet comments.
The crowd not only applauded but also started naming actors or directors they felt were overlooked.
Qin Xuan noted all these names, preparing to accept them all.
Only by ensuring that capable actors receive their due rewards can the entire ecosystem present healthy and positive competition.
And only in this way will the future development of the entertainment industry flourish and become better and better.
However, many people still found Qin Xuan's approach of starting his own company problematic.
After all, he was a nationally recognized General, an official.
It was an age-old rule that officials should not engage in business.
Although Long Country had opened up and there weren't many regulations in this regard, it didn't mean the public could accept this concept.
Moreover, Qin Xuan was a General.
From the perspective of the common people, he held a very high position.
If he were to enter the entertainment industry and use his position to do something, it wouldn't be about rectifying the industry, but rather it would likely worsen.
In fact, anyone who wanted to rectify the entertainment industry would first have to see if they could overcome the mountain that was Qin Xuan!
"I can understand everyone's thoughts. If I were you, I would also have such concerns."
"But even so, I still have to do this."
"For my friends Liu Qing and Li Qingwan, and even more so for those who have been persecuted by the entertainment industry."
"As for the concerns everyone has, I can only say, you are welcome to supervise and report."
"Everyone knows my position, and all the industries under my name can be found online."
"If anyone in the future finds any issues with my company, they can report it on the official reporting website."
"If you don't believe me, don't you believe the authorities?"
"Moreover, I am confident that we will never disappoint you."
Although he couldn't convince everyone with his words, Qin Xuan felt he had given the most sincere explanation he could.
As for the future of his company, it could be left to time to prove.
He believed that with the excellent talents he had just signed,
the results would not disappoint him or those who doubted him.
"Alright, let's put this matter aside for now."
"The court session is about to begin, and we should get to the main topic."
Picking up his phone and heading towards the courthouse, Qin Xuan greeted all the staff in the courtroom and then moved to the back, continuing to broadcast the entire trial process.
"The group of people being brought in now are the online harassers in this case."
"In general, they are very similar to the group who attacked me last time, engaging in malicious defamation and insult, which led to severe consequences."
"According to our country's laws, they can be sentenced to about three years of fixed-term imprisonment."
As Qin Xuan had said, the first batch of young girls and followers who were prosecuted were directly sentenced to a maximum of three years of fixed-term imprisonment.
They were all quite young, and upon hearing that they would serve three years in prison without any probation, they immediately burst into tears.
Seeing this situation in the live broadcast, many people immediately felt sympathy.
"Isn't this a bit too cruel? These people are all so young, most of them are still in college. Now they have to go to jail for three years, and it feels like their prime youth is wasted..."
"Yeah... I think some education would suffice. After this lesson, they will definitely be more restrained in the future. Going to jail will affect many things, and the price is too high."
"That's right, I think so too..."
"..."
Seeing these bullet comments, Qin Xuan was speechless.
He thought that most people in the live broadcast had paid attention to his experience of being cyberbullied and would understand how cruel the matter was.
But in reality, they seemed unaware.
Not only were they speaking up for the perpetrators, but they even considered holding them accountable as a cruel act.
Fortunately, there were many rational people in Qin Xuan's live broadcast.
Before Qin Xuan could even speak, they began to refute the former's words with powerful arguments.
"Enough is enough, what do you mean too cruel? When they were cyberbullying online, why didn't you say it was cruel? When Liu Qing attempted suicide and Li Qingwan was blacklisted, why didn't you say it was cruel?"
"Exactly! And you pity their young age and wasted youth in prison. Why don't you think about why they were arrested? If they hadn't gone online to commit violence themselves, why would they have received a three-year sentence?"
"Young? They are not young anymore! Everyone is an adult and should be responsible for their actions. If they cyberbullied others, they should be sued and sentenced by the victims. I think it's reasonable."
"Indeed, some people are too self-righteous and yet fail to treat everyone equally. I suggest such people shut up."
The heated discussion continued until the first batch of defendants were escorted out of the courtroom.
Qin Xuan took this opportunity to express his views.
The internet has never been a lawless place, and people should be responsible for their actions.
"Some people, even if you hit them, they won't feel pain, let alone any so-called leniency."
"This will only embolden those with similar ideas until one day, it leads to even more severe consequences."
"Therefore, I never consider punishing these online trolls to be a cruel act. On the contrary, the current severe punishment is to prevent more tragedies from happening!"
"Exactly!"
"Support General Qin!"
"General Qin is mighty!"
