Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 660 Going in

In September, a piece of news came from China.

Song Jiji went in.

A major event that lasted for a whole year has finally come to an end.

Wang Baobao made a special trip to America to thank the company's legal team for their help this time.

"Director Zhou, thank you so much. Without the company's help, I would have been really exhausted during this period."

"As long as you and the child are fine, everything else is as it should be. You should also rest more during this period." Zhou Mo patted his shoulder.

Wang Baobao immediately assured: "Director Zhou, don't worry, I will definitely not delay the crew's plan. I have recovered now."

Zhou Mo waved his hand and said, "Work and the like are all trivial matters. You should stay at home and spend more time with your children. Don't worry about work. Just go and play when you need to."

Actors stay on the crew all year round, and it is normal for them to be separated from their families.

Wang Baobao is one of the most home-loving people, but he still doesn’t spend much time with his family.

Wang Baobao nodded: "So I brought the children here as well, and take them for walks more often on weekdays."

Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows and looked around.

"I brought it here. Where is it?"

"In the hotel."

"Then just bring it to the crew. Why leave it in the hotel? Just treat it as a place for fun."

Wang Baobao was no longer polite and made the call on the spot.

While waiting for his assistant to bring people over, Zhou Mo changed the subject. His original intention was not to mention the previous troubles anymore. The lawsuit was over, and what should be let go should be let go.

Who knew, as they chatted, the topic would return to filming.

"Director Zhou, I had a question before."

"Well, tell me."

"Isn't the plot of the script that our company provided to Director Chen a bit exaggerated?"

"The second one?"

"Ah."

"What's so exaggerated about it?" Zhou Mo continued to ask.

Wang Baobao thought for a moment and organized his words: "Logically speaking, given the protagonist's setting, he shouldn't be so badly harmed by a slander without any evidence."

This is a bit obscure.

Zhou Mo is more direct than Wang Baobao.

"What you actually mean is that a public figure of that status, who can even be said to be the face of a platform, could actually be socially destroyed by a baseless accusation.

Even though it has been verified that the slanderer's words are full of loopholes, inconsistent, and repetitive, no one is willing to believe it.

During this process, all the institutions that should have come out to express their stance, release information, express their attitudes, and provide evidence were like blind and dumb people, and did not move at all.

Some media not only did not come out to help, but even added fuel to the fire, attacking, scolding and insulting the protagonist.

This is ridiculous, isn’t it? "

Wang Baobao smacked his lips. He didn't expect Zhou Mo to explain it much more clearly than he did.

“Is…Is that so?”

Zhou Mo looked at him and asked back, "Do you think that this kind of slander is impossible, or that the subsequent reactions of the official media are impossible?"

"All."

Wang Baobao thought about it and explained his thoughts again: "First of all, it's a slander. The gap between the two people is too big." Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows, and his words almost made Wang Baobao breathless.

"To be honest, when you were being slandered, there was a big gap between you two."

Wang Baobao: ...

You speak so loudly.

It scares me to hear that.

However, what Zhou Mo said does make sense.

He is also a public figure.

What happened to him, why can't it happen to others?

Wang Baobao thought for a long time and found the weird place that had always existed in his memory.

"But we are in the entertainment industry after all. We can't compare with the protagonist. All privacy in the entertainment industry can be consumed, and the protagonist can be said to be a member of the Ministry of Rites to some extent."

Zhou Mo nodded: "You are right, because you are from the entertainment industry, so when you are slandered, you can still speak for yourself, call on your lawyer team, and let your studio issue a statement. From time to time, you can publish some news on the Internet to guide the audience's public opinion.

However, as a member of the Ministry of Rites, the protagonist could not do anything according to the regulations. Facing the public opinion online, he could only passively take the beating and could do nothing. "

Wang Baobao thought about Zhou Mo's explanation and hissed immediately.

It seems to be true.

It's not that he doesn't understand this logic, but as an actor and star, his natural admiration for status within the system made him subconsciously ignore certain facts.

just,

"As the protagonist, his background wouldn't allow him to be slandered for no reason. This kind of thing isn't hard to investigate, given the advanced surveillance systems these days. Even if there weren't surveillance systems, how could it be hidden in a place with so many people coming and going?"

"That's because you've been staying in China for a lot of the past few years, so you don't know enough about America's activities. Have you ever heard of the MT movement? Once it starts, no matter who you are, how high your status is, or how good your reputation was before, you can't escape it."

Wang Baobao had heard of MT, but his first impression of it was:
"The situations on both sides are different. There are big differences in culture and cognition."

"You're right. Once we start doing these things, the noise will only get louder and the momentum will only get more intense."

Wang Baobao raised a question: "But the protagonist's background...?"

"It's not like the protagonist has a background. The slanderer's background is not bad either. Besides, the protagonist's background and relationships are not all on his side. Hating people may exist, but scolding people may not. When a whale dies, all things come to life." Zhou Mo said dimly.

People speak for their own butts.

"Let the Bullets Fly" will be popular for another ten years.

After some communication, Wang Baobao had a deeper understanding of the script.

Especially after Zhou Mo provided him with some more information, Wang Baobao was deeply touched.

"Actually, the crew will give you these things after you join the crew, and Director Chen will also explain them to you, but it's better for you to know them earlier now, just as a preview to prepare for future filming."

Wang Baobao nodded, stored the information, and prepared to go back and study it.

Many of the things Zhou Mo gave him were things he had not been able to see in the past, and he planned to go back and study them carefully.

It was afternoon and Wang Baobao's child was brought to the crew by his assistant.

Zhou Mo took them on a tour of the crew and arranged for someone to take photos. These photos will become Wang Baobao's updates later, as a response to fans and onlookers.

soon.

September is almost halfway through.

The plot of "Firefighter" has finally come to an end.

"I declare that the filming of 'Firefighters' has officially ended!"
