This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 500: The flowers are in bloom, not poisonous weeds.

Chapter 500: Let a hundred flowers bloom – the competition is for beautiful flowers, not poisonous weeds.

As netizens who frequently watch live streams know, if you see a memorable moment, you should quickly take a screenshot.

After Lu Ran posted the photo, many quick-thinking netizens immediately took screenshots.

In those few seconds, it was obvious that the director backstage also noticed something was wrong. He quickly switched to a wide shot, showing only Lu Ran standing there holding his phone, but the image on the phone screen was no longer visible.

Backstage, the director was already drenched in sweat.

He had absolutely no idea what to do.

This is an event in the entertainment industry!
Logically speaking, at a movie press conference, even if the creators of two movies have conflicts, they would never openly confront each other.

Lu Ran then went straight for the enemy's face and unleashed his ultimate attack!

"Boss! What do we do now?!"

The director already realized that today's events were definitely going to trend on social media!

At this moment, the people sitting around Lu Ran, especially those sitting in front of him, all turned to look at Lu Ran's phone screen.

However, everyone's expressions were different.

It's worth noting that some people here may not even know the meaning behind this slanted eye.

These people remained unmoved after seeing Lu Ran's photoshopped pictures.

But some people who were aware of the situation had already changed their expressions drastically at this point.

Good grief, he unleashed his ultimate move right up to my face!

Lu Ran, are you this assertive already since you just entered the film industry?

Feeling the gazes of those around him, even a veteran actor like Pang Yuntian, who had been in the entertainment industry for many years, felt somewhat uneasy.

He quietly reached out and tugged at Lu Ran's pants.

Lu Ran remained motionless, his eyes fixed on Zhang He on the stage.

Seeing Zhang He standing there stunned on stage, Lu Ran continued, "If Director Zhang can't see it clearly, I can bring the picture up on stage for you to see."

Zhang He wasn't blind; he saw it all too clearly!

When Lu Ran suggested photoshopping his image, he knew exactly what the picture would look like.

"You fucking Lu Ran, what have I done to offend you?"

Zhang He felt like strangling Lu Ran right now.

This is an insult to Lu Ran!
But he had no way to fight back!
He said the works were his own children, and that the animation style was realistic.

Now Lu Ran has photoshopped his image to have slanted eyes. If he gets angry, it means he knows that slanted eyes are an insult to Chinese people.

But he absolutely cannot get angry!

This slanted eye is an insult, but he can't say it. He has to say it's an image designed based on the actual situation!

Otherwise, how will this movie sell at the box office?

I'm not worried about being criticized; the important thing is that I must win!

We must never be the first to surrender!

Suppressing his anger, Zhang He slowly said, "I have no objection. It seems that Lu Ran really likes our work, Red Lion Boy. I hope we can work together in the future to promote Chinese culture."

After Zhang finished speaking, Lu Ran continued, "Director Zhang, please explain honestly, accurately, and completely what kind of Chinese culture you are promoting. I have traveled in Guangdong Province for a period of time and met many locals. I am very curious, is there such a thing as 'slanted eyes' in Chinese culture? Director Zhang glosses over it, only mentioning the concept and avoiding the substance, trying to get away with it. This kind of trick will not work."

Zhang He was already drenched in sweat.

"You're fucking never going to stop!"

Even in the entire entertainment industry, such close-up shots are rare.

Zhang He had a smile on his face.

At this point, the host went on stage to defuse the situation.

With the host's intervention, the topic was steered away, and Lu Ran didn't continue to argue with the host, returning to his seat.

He has already achieved his goal, so there's no need to make things difficult for the host anymore.

After Zhang He stepped down from the stage, the host smiled and chatted about other topics.

The viewers in the live stream were all excited.

"I've found out, and that slanted eye is definitely intentional. Otherwise, I can't understand why anyone would design such a character!"

"That picture of Director Lu is so well photoshopped! I've already taken a screenshot and sent it to my phone. You can all see for yourselves."

"I randomly clicked on a press conference today and ended up feeling furious. Folks, this kind of movie shouldn't have been released!" "Exactly! This director is deliberately avoiding the issues, pretending to be ignorant, trying to disgust Chinese audiences while still trying to make money off us. We can't tolerate this!"

At this point, the host said, "Next, please welcome Lu Ran, the lead actor and director of 'Once Upon a Time in China,' to the stage to introduce his film to us."

Lu Ran slowly stood up and walked towards the stage.

After the previous incident, everyone's attention was now focused on him.

The main creators of "Red Lion Boy" looked at Lu Ran with anger in their eyes.

Zhang He's fists were clenched tightly.

He had already devised a whole series of methods to teach Lu Ran a lesson.

When Lu Ran walked onto the stage, the promotional poster for "Huang Feihong" was displayed on the large screen behind him.

The poster shows a red sky with layers of clouds, and black in the shadows of the clouds.

The bottom is yellow.

Under the sky, a figure stood with his back to the railing, a solitary figure in black.

At the very top center of the image are the three characters "Huang Feihong".

The setting sun was like blood, and a great swordsman stood with his hands behind his back.

This is also one of the promotional posters for the movie "Once Upon a Time in China" on Earth.

Lu Ran stood in front of the poster. Just as the host was about to speak, Lu Ran raised his hand to stop him.

This rebuke made Pang Yuntian's heart clench again.

Based on his understanding of Lu Ran, he knew Lu Ran was up to something again.

"I should have known better than to let him come."

Pang Yuntian sighed.

Lu Ran then began to speak.

"The arts and literature field should be a place where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, but what we should be competing for are the flowers, not the poisonous weeds. The arts and literature bear the mission of raising the banner, uniting the people, cultivating new talents, and revitalizing culture. However, 'Red Lion Boy' uses stereotypical symbols that foreigners use to insult the Chinese nation."

With each sentence Lu Ran uttered, the expressions of the people below the stage grew increasingly grim.

The viewers in the live stream were shocked.

"Set the public chat to be protected!"

"Director Lu is too outspoken!"

"Protect our main damage dealers!"

The audience hadn't said enough, so why don't you continue on stage?

Lu Ran looked down at Zhang He in the audience.

"This kind of creation, which deviates from the people's aesthetics and distorts the cultural foundation, is simply poisonous weeds disguised as flowers. I am ashamed to share the stage with such creators. I will skip the film introduction segment."

After Lu Ran finished speaking, he handed the microphone to the host and turned to leave.

As he left, his silhouette seemed to overlap with the silhouette on the poster.

At this moment, even the host was somewhat at a loss.

There was some commotion in the audience.

The media reporters at the scene all took out their cameras.

Big news!
Lu Ran didn't return to his seat; he left the venue directly.

Upon seeing this, Pang Yuntian quickly chased after them.

The entire movie press conference was noisy.

Zhang He snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

After Pang Yuntian caught up with Lu Ran, he didn't say anything.

He knew Lu Ran too well; any advice he offered at this point would be pointless.

Now that the work has been done, we just need to prepare for the consequences.
