Tiantu Building.

"Okay, Mr. Wang, I have to say that young people just like to act on their own initiative. They always feel that they are different and the protagonist. But they don't know that anyone can change the world after leaving it.

Now that he has made his choice, let's let the facts speak for themselves. My project team is ready and can discuss mergers and acquisitions at any time. I hope we can have a happy cooperation. Okay, see you tomorrow."

The moment Zheng Qiu hung up the phone, the smile on his face disappeared and he turned to look at Gong Mou on the sofa.

"Director Gong, I apologize for my arrogance in calling out so many old friends. I am not questioning your appeal. I just feel that the situation this time is a little different. We and the other party must make a decision."

This time the "I like it very much" operation plan was decided on the spur of the moment by Zheng Qiu without notifying Gong Mou in advance.

Sure enough, Gong Mou came to raise an army to question the crime.

Gong Mou's face no longer had the kindness of the past, and his expression became a little serious, "Mr. Zheng, this is no longer a problem with the platform. You are forcing all the viewers. This is contrary to my original intention."

When Gong Mou discovered that his original Weibo to please the audience was abruptly distorted by Zheng Qiu into a Weibo for PUA audiences using capital methods.

Gong Mou felt a long-lost anger in his heart.

He thinks that he has a cooperative relationship with capital, but now it seems that he thinks too highly of himself. Even he is just a tool for making money in the hands of businessmen like Zheng Qiu.

Therefore, he must personally stop it and prevent this farce from getting out of control step by step.

To avoid causing greater shame.

"Director Gong, the audience needs to be guided. They don't know what is good and what is bad. Just like children, when we do literary and artistic work, in addition to expressing our own opinions, the more important thing is to educate the market and the audience." Zheng Qiu

He said pleasantly.

"Mr. Zheng's teaching is that filial sons emerge from the stick?" Gong Mou frowned.

"Although it sounds inhumane, it is very effective." Zheng Qiu nodded.

"Then why are there rumors that Mr. Zheng's daughter has a bad relationship with you? She even participated in the production of a rival company? And she doesn't participate in our works?" Gong Mou also had a smile on his face.

Turn off the lights!

Just rub salt into the wound, right?

Zheng Qiu's smile froze, and the corner of his mouth twitched. "This example also proves my current point of view. My previous education was too gentle and too free, which made Zheng Youyun become such a misbehaving person now, so I am correcting it."

.”

"The most common saying in the circle is that works must be separated from political governance, and now, works need to be separated from capital. Otherwise, a cultural desert will appear in the Xia Kingdom in a hundred years, and our generation will be sinners through the ages." Gong Mou shook his head.

Shake his head.

"Neither you nor I are great men, and we don't have a pattern that will last thousands of years, so we just need to look at the present. The Xia Kingdom's film industry must be industrialized to keep up with the pace of the world. The audience must adapt from now on, just like they adapted back then.

It's like drinking milk, isn't this what you and I both look forward to?" Zheng Qiu's tone was strong.

"Then Xia's movies will become like light industry in the future. They will become the world's factory and be squeezed by the West. Even if their bodies become cheap labor, do they have to kneel down to the West in their thoughts?" Gong Mou was a little angry.

"Director Gong, weren't the lessons learned by Hong Kong Entertainment 20 years ago hard enough?" Zheng Qiu sighed quietly.

Gong Mou narrowed his eyes.

"Didn't you notice that many of the most powerful figures in Hong Kong Entertainment came out this time? Why? Isn't it because Hong Kong Entertainment is dead? These guys who tried to go against Hollywood back then can't even make a living now?

They have to give up their original foolish ideas and turn to us. At least, they can still eat." Zheng Qiu chuckled.

"You said they were ignorant back then?" Gong Mou looked at Zheng Qiu strangely.

"Time will tell everything." Zheng Qiu shrugged.

"It seems that I have to reconsider our cooperation." Gong Mou stood up and sneered.

"Director Gong, the matter has come to this, why can't you calm down and take a good look at the present moment?" Zheng Qiu frowned.

In fact, he was still a little worried about Gong Mou's betrayal. After all, Gong Mou's role was important in the entire Xia Kingdom movie, and even in the entire Asian movie.

"Now? I'm almost sixty years old? What else should I look at now? Mr. Zheng, I hope we all have time to see the final result."

Gong Mou chuckled lightly, looked at Zheng Qiu meaningfully, and prepared to stand up and leave.

"Director Gong, since you are no longer young? Why don't you think more about today's young people?" Zheng Qiu stood up hurriedly.

"We have decided to establish the New Xia Film Alliance to cooperate with the three giants Huana, Copyright Di, and Internet Africa. In the future, we can introduce their advanced technologies and methods, share channels, and let Xia Guo Film go abroad.

There are also various large-scale IPs, and Xia Guo Film and Television will usher in a real spring. If you choose to quit at this time, wouldn’t it be a bit regretful."

Gong Mou put his hand on the door handle without turning his head, and his voice was indifferent but strong:

"Everyone has to compromise. There are compromises every day. We must survive in compromises and insist on a certain existence in compromises.

But creation cannot be compromised. If artistic creation has no personality, it will die."

.....

Overnight, it seemed like the only movie left on the Internet was "The Ferryman."

Regardless of whether people have watched the movie or not, whether at work or at school, we can just open our mouths and chat.

"Have you seen "The Ferryman"? I heard it's going to be judged for an Oscar."

"Nonsense, the copyright was just sold yesterday, but the box office was a little higher. It exceeded 100 million on the first day. The total box office is expected to break the record of 4 billion."

"As expected of Gong Mou's movie, all the stars in the entertainment industry support it, it's really a great show."

"Zhai Zhuo's acting skills are really superb. He doesn't need any lines, just his eyes can make people feel meaningful."

"4 billion in box office, these stars really make money."

Listening to the chatter of his colleagues, Lu Renjia yawned

"Hey, did you singles go to the movies yesterday? But to be honest, "The Ferryman" is really ugly. I recommend you to watch "Eight Barrels of a Loyal Dog." It's so funny that I watched it till early in the morning yesterday.

.”

"Are you going to see a movie? I'm embarrassed to expose you. How could "The Ferryman" be ugly when so many stars are so enthusiastic about it?" Colleague A laughed.

"This is unreasonable. How can I, an audience member, not know whether the movie is ugly or not?" Lu Renjia was a little unhappy.

"You know a hammer, do you know what Stani is? Do you know what postmodernism is? Do you know what academystandards and montage are?" Colleague B counterattacked.

Faced with the questioning from his colleague Mr. Wang, Lu Renjia was stunned.

I am just an audience member, do I need to know so much?

"Watching a movie, Lao Lu, is like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit. Watching it has fun. Gong Mou's artistic movies need to be savored slowly." Colleague C also said.

After hearing what his colleagues said, Lu Renjia scratched his head in confusion.

But if you think about it more carefully, you can at least understand and feel the ups and downs of emotions when watching "Hatsoku".

But when I watched "The Ferryman", I was basically confused the whole time.

Could it be that I really didn’t understand it yesterday?

"Hey, brothers, you guys understand so well. Please explain the plot to me. Why do you think the two female protagonists drank so much that they ended up with a stomach perforation? And why did the male protagonist finally give up on music when he was young?" Lu

Renjia humbly asked for advice.

"Well, this is a bit complicated to talk about. It probably involves the narrative difference between modernism and classicism. I will give you an analysis after I finish reading it tonight." Colleague A said with a smile.

"Well, the spoilers on the Internet don't know what's going on. They kept silent this time. I can't tell too many clues from the trailer. I'll let you know after I watch it tonight, or we can watch it together.

I'll explain it to you." Colleague B said.

"Let's go together tonight." Colleague C followed suit.

"...So, you three haven't seen it at all, right?" Lu Renjia's mouth twitched.

I’ve never seen what you said sound like the truth!

Those who don’t know think you three are directors!

"Listen to my brother's advice, don't spend money to see it, and wait for online resources. This movie is really not worth going to the cinema. I strongly recommend you to watch "Eight Barrels of Faithful Dogs". If it doesn't look good, I'll treat you to Haidilao."

Lu Renjia rolled his eyes and prepared to save these three unfortunates.

""Eight Barrels of Faithful Dogs"? The name of this movie sounds weird. What is it about?" Colleague A was a little curious.

"I won't spoil it. You will know it after watching it. Let me tell you this, have you ever seen Xia Mengyao wearing a shirt and wearing glasses in an acceleration suit?" Lu Renjia smiled.

The three colleagues' eyes lit up and they shook their heads.

"Zheng Youyun's silk stockings, red soles and high heels, have you ever seen the Royal Sister's anti-defense suit?" Lu Renjia continued.

Three colleagues were breathing rapidly.

"Have you ever seen these two people competing on the Kang?" Lu Renjia's smile grew stronger.

The three colleagues' eyes were as wide as bells, and they all lowered their heads and touched their pants.

"What are you three doing?" Lu Renjia asked doubtfully.

"Book tickets." The three of them said in unison.

However, Lu Renjia's situation is still relatively rare in the entire Xia Kingdom. Most people are influenced by online information, whether they want to watch a movie or not, but in order to keep up with the trend, they choose to watch "The Ferryman".

Let's see what kind of film it is that can cause such a big sensation.

Of course, most of them are forced to watch by their best friends, brothers, girlfriends, crushes and vanity.
