According to media reports, shareholders of the movie "The Pig King" (Zhou Chu Qu San Hai) have only received about 20% of their expected dividends over the past two years, despite the film's high box office performance in China and licensing fees from Netflix. The Taiwanese production company, "One Attitude" Film Co., Ltd. and its出品 units (collectively, "the Declarant"), stated today that they have only received 20% of the expected dividends from China's box office. They further revealed that overseas and China distribution for this film was handled by Mr. Jeffrey Chan, General Manager of Distribution Workshop (BVI) Ltd. (formerly Distribution Workshop (BVI) Ltd.). Investigations found that the Chinese distribution entity had transferred almost all the amounts due to Taiwan to Mr. Chan, but these funds have not been delivered. The statement pointed out that Mr. Chan had promised to attend an explanation meeting but was absent at the last minute. To protect the rights and interests of the Taiwanese production entities, the Declarant hereby solemnly urges Mr. Chan to come forward and provide an explanation and take responsibility within 7 days. Otherwise, the Declarant intends to jointly file a lawsuit. (Editor: Lin Shuhui) 1150410
