Actor: Thank you.

In this world, everything is interconnected and mutually restraining; this is the way of Yin and Yang.

For Lu Chuan, Han Han is the ultimate weapon.

It's similar to Ma Guocheng meeting Tian Wenjing.

Lu Chuan's arrogant and boastful attitude, typical of someone from the capital, was perfectly countered by Han Han's cold and sarcastic demeanor, typical of someone from Shanghai.

Zhang Yuan could understand Lu Chuan's personality.

He has his own little circle, and to show loyalty, he has to stand up and say something if his friend is "bullied".

In reality, this kind of loyalty is fake; it's often tainted by personal grudges and a lack of discernment between right and wrong.

The word "righteousness" means upholding justice and valuing friendship.

Most small circles only show loyalty in the latter case, not the former.

"Teacher Han, it's been a long time." He called Han Han.

If no one upholds justice, then I'll have to let justice descend from the heavens.

Hello, it's been a while since I've seen you.

"I'll treat you to dinner next time I come to Shanghai."

"I'll definitely treat you to a big meal," Zhang Yuan replied without any politeness.

"I need to talk to you about something, buddy. I've been bullied."

"Huh? Someone dares to bully you?" Han Han didn't believe it.

I've heard so much about you bullying people; it's quite satisfying to hear.

Even if you get bullied, I can still help you...

"Lu Chuan scolded me again."

The great writer understood immediately; so that's what it was about.

Why do some people never learn from their mistakes?

“A pug,” he replied.

"I knew you could handle him." Zhang Yuan understood from that attitude that there was no mistake.

"I happen to have something I'd like to discuss with you," the other person continued.

"In recent years, I have developed in multiple areas, including the film and television industry."

"I know."

He wrote both the lyrics and music for Fan Bingbing's theme song for "Buddha Mountain".

He also started a magazine called "The Choir".

The first issue sold 50 copies and offered an exceptionally high fee of 2000 yuan per thousand words.

The fact that print media is selling so well has alarmed the entire industry.

And then... there was no second season.

The reason is simple: it won't pass the review.

Among the contributors to the first issue were a number of people who were later labeled as "cultural traitors".

The magazine's content is quite cynical and pretentious, containing a lot of incorrect assumptions and opinions.

Han Han's cynical personality is related to his upbringing.

From a young age, he was praised as a genius by the media while being denigrated as a bad student.

However, the magazine's ban did make him more clear-headed, making him understand what needed to be addressed and where the authorities' bottom line was.

In addition, he's gotten older, and his personality has become much more mature than it was a few years ago.

I also came into contact with the entertainment industry and saw how popular it is.

The money came in too fast!
Much of my youthful vigor has been worn away; reality is right before my eyes.

Just follow along and make money!

We already have ideas for monetizing traffic.

In addition, this angry young man thinks all the commercial films on the market are garbage.

That's when the idea of ​​"rebellion" arose.

“Great, it’s wonderful that you’re interested in movies.”

"As a well-known writer, you have a natural advantage."

"And I told you a few years ago that if you were interested, you could come find me," Zhang Yuan said slowly.

I was afraid you wouldn't come.

Establishing good relationships early on is essential for getting the best opportunities.

"I'll go to Shanghai sometime, then we can sit down and have a chat."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Han Han felt reassured that the other party agreed, and said, "I'll go and deal with Lu Chuan's matter first."

And by the way, I'll also present a pledge of loyalty.

"Wait a minute," Zhang Yuan said, stopping him.

"If you want to work in the film and television industry in the future, then you shouldn't get involved this time."

"Don't get involved as much in the future."

Do you understand what I mean?

After listening, Han Han paused for a moment, then thanked him repeatedly.

Lu Chuan is, after all, a member of the imperial circle.

He can't handle me, but he's good at tripping up Han Han.

Besides, Han Han is someone who is easily criticized.

For the sake of momentary pleasure, use him as a knife.

For the long term, having him help you make money is a pretty good choice.

Han Han was quick-witted and immediately understood the reason for Zhang Yuan's change in attitude.

According to the locals in Shanghai, this is called "getting on the road," which means "getting on the right track."

It makes us feel more at ease to cooperate.

After hanging up the phone, he thought about it for a moment.

Han Han's value is quite high, even higher than that of Guo Jingming, who is also a writer.

After all, Han Han is an original writer, unlike Guo Jingming who relies on copying and pasting.

“If we don’t want him involved, then we’ll have to find another knife.” Without much thought, Zhang Yuan called Jia Shikai, who had just recovered from his injuries.

When he received the call, the man's body twitched instinctively a few times.

Everyone's afraid that an arm will stick out of the phone receiver and slap them.

The monkey was successfully trained and recognized Zhang Yuan as its monkey king.

"You are now in charge of the company's public relations and public opinion, and publicity."

"Have you seen Weibo? A famous director is slandering me."

"Take a look at how to handle this."

There was no step-by-step instruction like feeding a baby; I simply gave him a topic and asked him to write an essay.

I must say, the knife was dirty, but it was really useful.

In less than a day, a large number of re-emerging news reports about Lu Chuan's plagiarism of "Kekexili" appeared on the Internet, with an overwhelming momentum.

Zhang Yuan nodded in approval. "This guy is truly professional; he's contacted and mobilized an online army."

Especially the Weibo trolls, who built up a tower of comments on Lu Chuan's Weibo, cursing him as a plagiarist and shameless.

Thousands of comments appeared within hours.

There are also a bunch of newly created Weibo accounts that are forwarding a large number of analytical articles about the plagiarism of "Kekexili".

This person was submerged in the flood of online public opinion.

"Hey, I saw what you did."

After getting off work that evening, he called Jia Shikai again.

"Is it...is it alright?" the man asked cautiously.

"It's alright."

It's just okay... This person thought to themselves, "I've used 9% of my strength, and all I got was 'okay'."

"Your weakness is that your thinking is too narrow."

“That’s related to your personality, I won’t hold it against you,” Zhang Yuan said bluntly.

“Simply accusing him of plagiarism can indeed affect his reputation.”

"But at most he gets angry; he's not afraid."

"Do you know that this kind of idiot only gets angry when he sees himself being criticized, and doesn't reflect on his actions?"

"So you have to hit his weak spot."

"I thought you were very capable because you always made such confident promises."

"I didn't expect there's still room for improvement."

After hearing this, Jia Shikai swallowed hard. This was a sign of dissatisfaction with him.

"Maintain the current route, and open another one tomorrow."

"What path?"

"We need to find people to start a petition online, requesting the Golden Horse Awards committee to cancel the honors and awards given to this film that year."

The reason given was that plagiarized works were not eligible for awards.

"Huh?" Jia Shikai was confused: "The Golden Horse Awards listen to us?"

"No."

Jia Shikai: ...

Wouldn't that be a waste of time?

Do you have any objections?

"No, no, nothing..."

Zhang Yuan didn't need him to understand everything; he just needed to be obedient.

Because a knife doesn't need to have its own ideas; it just needs to work well.

He deliberately brought up the Golden Horse Awards because "Kekexili" won many awards back then.

Lu Chuan won the Huabiao Award for Best Director for this film.

It's quite ironic.

The film itself won several Best Film awards.

That year, the Golden Horse Awards not only gave it the Best Feature Film award, but also the Best Cinematography award.

Cao Yu is the one who won the award!
This was Cao Yu's first triple gold medal-level award, and it was even the most important award in his entire career.

It turns out the shots were all plagiarized...

Will the Golden Horse Awards respond to such online public opinion, or appeals from mainland netizens?
Absolutely not.

Unless a very high-ranking person gets involved, the Golden Horse Awards will absolutely not pay any attention to it.

Canceling the award is tantamount to admitting that you were wrong.

How could they possibly admit their mistake? They'd definitely pretend they didn't see it.

But whether or not this thing is done is not important.

The important thing is to make the other party wary.

Furthermore, the power of the internet is not strong enough yet. In another five or six years, a full-scale online backlash could definitely influence the awarding of some prizes.

I'll give you a sample first, so you can see.

Those who know what's good for them should behave themselves.

……

That day, he was filming an important scene on set.

He had already taken off his suit and put on a gray-blue military uniform and cap.

Before filming began, he looked at himself in the full-length mirror a few times and realized that he still had the strength!
He looks more energetic than in a suit, after all, this equipment has a faith bonus, and his mental strength rises sharply.

"Xuesen, you know this." "Right now, all the conscientious scientists in the world are opposing the development of nuclear weapons."

Luo Youlai, who had already returned to China, was arguing with Qian Xuesen about helping the country design and develop nuclear weapons.

Professor Qian was mainly responsible for the rocket body.

In the instructor's own words, if an atomic bomb cannot be fired far and accurately, it cannot intimidate two superpowers.

An inch longer, an inch stronger—even martial artists understand this principle.

Deng Jiaxian was in charge of bombing, and Qian Lao was in charge of delivering the bombs to the enemy.

At this time, as Guo Yonghuai said, a wave of anti-nuclear weapons movement swept across the global scientific community.

Even Oppenheimer, the architect of the Manhattan Project, opposed the use of nuclear weapons.

And he uttered the famous line: "Now I am Death, the destroyer of the world."

This statement comes from the Indian philosophical classic, the Bhagavad Gita.

Oppenheimer's initial concern was that the chain reaction would continue indefinitely, leading to the destruction of the entire Earth.

To become the Grim Reaper who destroys the world.

After the nuclear explosion, he was free from concerns about the chain reaction, but he still referred to himself as "Death."

It wasn't narcissism, but rather that he understood he had given humanity, a seemingly civilized but actually quite primitive species, a weapon capable of destroying itself.

This is also why the scientific community opposes nuclear weapons.

But just like the fears of a chain reaction, it turns out that nuclear weapons, the most powerful weapons in human history, have not yet destroyed humanity.

Instead, it became a hindrance between major powers, preventing or delaying the arrival of the next world war.

Because death is fair.

Guo Yonghuai had also returned to China by this time. Qian Lao's experience of being framed, imprisoned, and placed under house arrest had made him see the true face of the "beacon of democracy."

But when he learned that his knowledge would be used to deploy nuclear weapons, he hesitated.

It is precisely the argument between the friends that leads to the most essential part of the film, and also Zhang Yuan's favorite scene and line.

"If one day, an atomic bomb falls on the heads of the Chinese people, I will regret it."

He supported himself on his knee with his left hand and his right elbow on his other leg, his back slightly twisted and hunched.

Due to long hours of excessive desk work, Mr. Qian developed some back problems.

But the physical pain did not affect the great scientist's mind in the slightest.

Before filming this scene, Zhang Yuan specially used a Japanese eye drop that could quickly remove redness and improve eyesight.

What we want is for eyes to be bright and sparkling in front of the camera.

You need to project a sense of conviction through your eyes.

"I am determined to make sure that the Chinese people possess the atomic bomb."

Even if its existence brings questions and debates.

"But I believe this is preparation for resisting aggression."

His eyes were resolute, yet full of hope, and he was bathed in sunlight.

This is the light of justice, the light of the nation.

"I have no sword in my hand."

"With a sword, one need not use it."

"They are not the same thing."

Concealing one's edge and having no blade are not the same thing!

In this world, the prerequisite for being a good person is that you have the strength to punch the villains and kick the treacherous.

If a good person doesn't want to have a gun pointed at them, they need to have a gun in their hand.

Throughout history, countless novels and stories have given rise to countless heroes.

According to Mr. Jin Yong's definition, "The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people."

Qian Xuesen, like the stars of humanity born in those years, can be called a true hero.

A great hero doesn't necessarily ride a white horse and wield a long sword.

It is also possible to ride the east wind, fly on a sword, and reach a speed of Mach 30.

With Mr. Qian as our swordsman, from now on, those who are willing to reason with us can talk, and those who are unwilling to reason will be dealt with by our little flying sticks.

It turns out that people don't like the flying sticks and are willing to reason with each other.

The nation and the world are intertwined; if you can't protect your family and your country, how can you claim the world?

Scientists are not wrong to oppose nuclear weapons, but first we should ask, what country are they scientists from?

Science knows no borders, but nuclear weapons do.

And wherever a nuclear bomb is dropped, that becomes a national border.

The Americans abandoned two island nations, and that's how they gained another "colony".

The Japanese devils, who have been our scoundrels for thousands of years, have all recognized a new father.

The debate between Qian Xuesen and Guo Moruo was real, and Guo Moruo was ultimately persuaded.

This "sword-wielding" theory is further evidence that Qian Xuesen deserves to be called a strategic scientist.

This theory can serve as the guiding ideology for the development of the entire Chinese military.

Building weapons is not evil, because it will fall into the hands of civilized nations like ours.

Moreover, if we don't develop advanced weapons, are we just saving the money to use as compensation?

It was this group of "heroes," including Qian Xuesen, Guo Moruo, Deng Jiaxian, and Yu Min, who propelled this impoverished and weak agricultural country, which had existed for thousands of years, into the atomic age overnight.

After one year of imitating Soviet rockets and four years of independent research and development, they successfully launched one, reaching the world's mainstream level.

Because the Soviet rockets were also copied from the German V2 rocket, and when Wernher von Braun, who designed the V2 rocket, landed in the United States, Qian Xuesen was involved in welcoming him.

Even with theoretical advantages, it is still unimaginable that a poor country that relies on imports for machine tools could acquire world-leading nuclear technology within a few years.

You wouldn't dare play a game like that, otherwise you'd definitely be reported for cheating.

In the eyes of the beacon, China suddenly emerged with nuclear weapons and delivery and launch technology.

The villagers brought Eureka as a gift, a piece of nuclear weapons technology... that's about the feeling.

This has led to a misconception in many countries.

Oh my god!

If this is acceptable, then I can be accepted too.

In reality, even getting onto the kang (heated brick bed) was difficult.

After filming a complete shot, Zhang Yuan quickly ran to the machine to watch the playback.

"Let's do it again, I can make it even more determined and powerful."

"It's okay, we'll be shooting close-ups and side views later, we can just cut a piece out then."

"Then I'll prepare some more."

"Wait a minute."

He was just about to get into the zone when director Zhang Jianya called him back.

“Recently, all those things online about 'Coco Xixi' are about you…” he probed.

"Huh?" Zhang Yuan pretended to be stupid.

"I do not know."

"Director Zhang, you know, some online platforms have no bottom line when it comes to hyping up news."

"To change course with the wind and add fuel to the fire."

"That was all done by the platform," he said emphatically.

And this isn't just empty talk.

Weibo did indeed play a role in fueling the movement.

After seeing Lu Chuan being attacked, they gave him a lot of traffic and featured him prominently on the homepage.

Weibo is always stirring up trouble. Just look at the Weibo Night every year; every year it generates some controversy.

Even if there's no work to do, we still have to create something; otherwise, why would we keep getting summoned for talks by our superiors?

Compared to traditional print media, Weibo is more like a gossip magazine from the print media era, the kind that has no bottom line when it comes to making money.

Seeing an opportunity, they quickly stirred things up to boost their platform's popularity.

They also know how to create titles.

"Lu Chuan's 'Keke Xixi' has been disqualified from the Golden Horse Awards for plagiarism."

It seemed like things had already been accomplished, but upon clicking in, I realized it was just someone making a call online.

Zhang Jianya also graduated from Beijing Film Academy and was classmates with Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou, but went to Shanghai Film Studio after graduation.

He was aware of the recent conflict between Zhang Yuan and Cao Yu.

It's obvious at a glance that this kid either doesn't fight at all, or he hits the vital spot!
Awards are very important for a professional; having an award or not can make a world of difference in one's value.

You're ruthless, kid, going for this.

At this moment, Lu Chuan is filming "The Last Supper".

I was already exhausted, and seeing these messages made me incredibly angry.

Given his personality, he's bound to post another string of angry messages on Weibo.

But before I could even take action, I received several phone calls.

Yang Shouchen and Tan Hong both invested money in this film.

Although Tan Hong had sold her shares in Cross-Strait Film Industry to Zhang Yuan, she still knew a lot about him.

I rub!

Zhang Yuan had only been in the industry for a short time when he dared to go head-to-head with a group of Hong Kong businessmen every day, and he almost always won.

Why did you go and provoke him for no reason? Tell me.

If you're just filming, why are you acting so crazy?

Can't we just focus on our work?

Those who know him well understand even better that they can't persuade him; they know that this kid's hair could be used as a lock pick, standing upright and prickly.

Then all they could do was unleash a barrage of attacks on the landing target.

Seeing that his buddies had all given up, and with producer Huang Xiaoming also trying to persuade him, Cao Yu realized that the situation was under control.

Even the best men sometimes have wives who aren't virtuous and children who aren't filial. Why don't you find another woman?

Otherwise, the consequences will be dire.

Cao Yu naturally refused, but he also stopped talking.

They really didn't give me any face at all.

"Director Zhang, first of all, I haven't offended anyone." Zhang Yuan put on a wronged look.

However, since he maintained a grand, majestic, strong, and resolute expression throughout the performance, his current aggrieved look seems somewhat fake.

"Secondly, even if you slam on the brakes, a fully loaded 100-ton truck will still slide forward for over 100 meters."

"Some things are beyond my control."

"Public opinion has inertia."

"Besides, I'm a celebrity, so it's normal for me to have public opinion about me."

"But some people are directors and cameramen, clearly behind-the-scenes staff, yet they always make news and do unrelated things."

"They should ask themselves if they can stop wanting to be famous all the time."

"In the end, his face wasn't showing, but his butt was."

After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets, stood up, and swayed.

Seeing his attitude, Zhang Jianya decided to stay out of it.

Young people these days are too aggressive; I try to avoid provoking them.

Zhang Yuan, meanwhile, was walking along while reciting his lines.

"Having no sword in your hand and having a sword but not using it are not the same thing."

If you provoke me again, don't blame me for being a jerk... (End of Chapter)
