Chapter 164 Second Episode
Before going to bed, Xu Zhao received a message from Qiao Zhijing.
The message sent by Qiao Zhijing was short and concise.
He just sent a few words: This script is feasible.
Xu Zhao took a look and withdrew from Qiao Zhijing. Okay, we really can’t rely on these stars.
But it will be fine as long as they can cooperate with the script when the time comes.
Since Qiao Zhijing had approved it, Xu Zhao naturally did not hesitate and directly sent both scripts to Zheng Wen.
After sending the things over, Xu Zhao put his phone on the bedside table next to him and fell asleep without caring what the other party would think.
I have to go to work tomorrow, so I have to go to bed early and get up early so that I can have enough energy to make money.
There are many people working in the entertainment industry who work day and night, and Zheng Wen is no exception.
A large number of people returned to the TV station in City A. The photographers all got off work on time and waited for your post-production staff in the TV station office to start work.
The second episode has been broadcast live. Even if he is not needed to complete it in the later stage, he still needs to keep an eye on it all the time.
Especially during today's filming, many parts about Xu Zhao, although not broadcast live, were all filmed. This part of the content made him a little conflicted.
He had already discussed with Xu Zhao privately about what happened today, and he already knew exactly what had happened.
But the public doesn’t know that if this part could be edited into the main film content, it would definitely cause an uproar and would definitely attract a lot of audiences.
But precisely because the majority of netizens are unaware of this matter, those parasites hiding in the dark also don't know what happened. Even if their program was created together with the country, if the broadcast of their program leads to work errors by state staff or the loss of talent, their program will be completely ruined.
As a literary and artistic creator, Zheng Wen is good at presenting plots and highlighting conflicts, but he couldn't figure out how to solve such a matter of life and death.
The moment he learned all this, he decided to report the matter to his superiors.
Let the country’s people solve the country’s affairs themselves.
It has only come to this point, and Zheng Wen is still struggling with the post-production work.
Because the counterfeiting gang has not been arrested yet, the country's special operations team is now deploying a detailed plan. However, the current situation is tense and the action team urgently hopes that this matter can be resolved quickly. Now no one knows when the action will be taken and when it will be completed.
Therefore, the people above gave Zheng Wen two suggestions.
One is that if the action team successfully captures and annihilates this criminal gang before the program is broadcast, then this incident can be edited out and put in the main film. If this gang has not been arrested before the program is broadcast, then this part of the content needs to be completely edited out. As for when it can be broadcast, I am afraid we can only wait until the follow-up events are completed and then broadcast it as a behind-the-scenes feature.
But if that time really comes, the show will be too old to be popular. How can it still be popular?
But since the superiors have spoken so, Zheng Wen can only do as he is told and hope in his heart that the criminals will be caught as soon as possible!
Zheng Wen sat on the ergonomic chair commonly used by post-production staff, holding a tablet in his hand, which was playing the clips sent by the post-production staff after editing.
He felt a headache after reading this. He pinched his brows and closed his eyes, thinking about how to revise this paragraph. It was already late at night, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he unknowingly fell into endless darkness.
The tablet vibrated and a dialog box popped up, waking up Zheng Wen who was originally daydreaming.
Zheng Wen opened his hazy eyes in a daze, everything in front of him was blurry, the lights in the room were very bright, and in his ears he could hear the sound of post-production staff clicking on the mouse. Only then did he realize that he had just fallen asleep and didn't notice that someone had sent him a message.
While his colleagues were drinking coffee and working hard, he fell asleep. Feeling guilty, he immediately took out his phone and ordered barbecue takeout to reward the busy post-production staff.
While waiting for the takeaway, he took out his tablet to continue looking at the post-production effects, and then he saw that Xu Zhao had sent him a message.
Zheng Wen was a little surprised. It was so late, and Xu Zhao sent him a message. Was it something urgent?
Could it be that the script was too rushed?
He subconsciously thought that Xu Zhao felt that completing the script before Wednesday was a very difficult task.
After all, it is already difficult for anyone to come up with a plot out of thin air, let alone Xu Zhao having to think of two.
Zheng Wen thought that if Xu Zhao came to him for help, they would naturally help. In order for the program to proceed smoothly, the program crew had actually secretly written two scripts, just in case.
After clicking on Xu Zhao's message, Zheng Wen was about to click further when his finger paused. He instantly showed the expression of an old man on the subway.
He raised his free hand and rubbed his eyes. Was he afraid that he had not woken up yet and was hallucinating?
Rub your eyes.
I opened my eyes and looked carefully, and it was still the same thing I saw just now.
Rub your eyes again.
Look again, still!
Xu Zhao’s speed is too fast!
Zheng Wen glanced at the time in the upper right corner. There were only six hours left until the end of the show, and Xu Zhao had finished writing both scripts!
Don't just write nonsense to deal with him?
But then I thought Xu Zhao was not that kind of person.
At that moment, Zheng Wen quickly clicked on the script sent by Xu Zhao.
Tablets have large screens and seem fast.
Since Xu Zhao was not a professional, the story was written very completely, but the character dialogues were somewhat lacking. To put it nicely, he wrote two short stories, which have nothing to do with the script.
But this is not a big deal. Zheng Wen had already thought of these things. The story content is ready. As for the character dialogue scenes, he can just find a professional screenwriter to help modify them.
After reading this, Zheng Wen was in awe of Xu Zhao's knowledge. He had never heard of the story she wrote before, and he didn't know whether she had made it up or whether it came from some history book.
Although he didn't know whether the story was true or not, after reading it, Zheng Wen felt other worries in his heart. If he really wanted to perform it according to what Xu Zhao wrote, he was afraid that there would be controversy on the Internet again.
Zheng Wen sent all his worries to Xu Zhao.
It was agreed that if Xu Zhao wrote the script, she would act in whatever she wrote. Even though Zheng Wen was worried, she could not easily reject Xu Zhao's script. She had to ask the author before making a decision.
After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, Zheng Wen stopped waiting, fearing that she had already fallen asleep.
…
The special operations team headed by Gu Mingxiao acted very quickly. The people sent out during the day on Sunday followed the minions who were deliberately let go, and captured this small gang that night.
Fortunately, the leader of this group was also a small leader in the group. Because of greed, he stole a batch of defective products from the counterfeit factory and sold them on the street.
Since it is a defective product, it is naturally full of loopholes. People with experience can tell the authenticity of the product at a glance and will not buy it at all. This is why people deliberately damage it and blackmail passers-by.
The reason why they were able to avoid being caught for many years in City A was that they were protected by official personnel, which allowed them to commit crimes under the noses of the police. However, they did not expect that a task more powerful than that of the local police station would come, and they were caught in one fell swoop.
After a day and night of interrogation, the special operations team pried a lot of information out of their mouths.
They learned that on Tuesday night, the boss of their group would be trading with foreigners at a long-abandoned dock in City A. This was a big deal, and after this transaction, the people behind their group would retreat abroad, so they would never be found again.
Gu Mingxiao stood in the monitoring room next to the interrogation room, looking coldly at the captured leader inside. The bright incandescent light shone on his face, his lips were dry and cracked, his hands were handcuffed, and he was tied to a chair, unable to move.
"Give him a glass of water and ask him what was traded on Tuesday and why it was such a big deal."
Gu Mingxiao leaned forward and moved the microphone in front of her to her lips.
The sound was transmitted through the microphone into the headphones of the interrogating police officer.
The interrogator did as Gu Mingxiao said.
As soon as he handed the disposable plastic cup filled with half a cup of water to the leader, he snatched it away, and the handcuffs in his hands made a crisp sound due to his movement.
"Tell me, what big deal is your group's boss going to make?"
The leader drank the water in the cup in one gulp. He drank it so fast that he choked a few times. But this little bit of water could not relieve his thirst. He said to the police officer beside him in a flattering way: "Comrade police, can you give me another glass of water?"
If he hadn't drunk any water for a while, he could have endured it, but now that he had opened his mouth, he was eager to drink some more.
The policeman took the plastic cup from his hand, went to the water dispenser, and poured another cup, but this cup was not placed in front of the prisoner.
He returned to his original position with the water, moved the glass of water forward and placed it right in front of the prisoner.
"Just confess first. Once you have explained everything, I will give you this glass of water."
The chief was extremely thirsty and confessed everything at once.
It turned out that a batch of national treasures of the country had been lost in the country of fog and needed to be returned to the country, but the country of fog did not want these cultural relics to return to China, so it thought of using a trick to replace the original with the fake one.
They bought a batch of fakes from a counterfeiting group, hid the real ones in their own country, and returned the fakes to China. In this way, they could embezzle these cultural relics without anyone noticing.
"It's really abominable." Gu Mingxiao clenched his fists and slammed them hard on the table in front of him, completely unaware of the pain in his hands.
If the country had not been weak and the government corrupt and inaction in modern times, the country's borders would not have been opened by those barbarians with their powerful ships and cannons, and these treasures would not have been lost.
Now that the country is willing to buy it back at a high price, they actually want to fool them by using fake goods.
We must not let them succeed!
Time is running out, they have to complete the deployment before Tuesday, and the next few days will be a tough battle!
Even if we have to work day and night to preserve the dignity of our country!
Gu Mingxiao reported today's interrogation truthfully, alarming all senior officials. As this was a matter of national importance, even senior military officials were urgently called in to make arrangements.
Ordinary people live their most ordinary lives and never reveal such things to anyone. They were completely unaware that there was a group of people who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood for the honor of the country.
By the time everyone knew about this, everything had already been settled.
Even though the deployment was proper at the beginning, the special operations team still managed to capture the culprit behind the counterfeiting group at the cost of a very tragic sacrifice. Even those who survived were injured to varying degrees.
However, these were not paid attention to by netizens. People were only shocked that the country had cracked down on another group of criminals and that the people of Wu country were so shameless as to try to replace one thing with another.
Things like this will only be posted online for a day or two at most, and then the heat will quietly fade away.
After receiving the notice from above that the matter had been resolved, Zheng Wen felt relieved and chose to broadcast the recorded content.
On Wednesday night, "History: New Arrivals" released some of the highlights as usual.
On Thursday night, after the full feature film was released, fans who watched the variety show learned that the program crew had encountered the criminal gang mentioned online during the recording process.
The news, which had originally died down, sparked controversy again after the variety show was broadcast.
In the feature film, Xu Zhao's performance can be said to be smart and brave, but then, the audience who did not watch the live broadcast discovered that Xu Zhao was unwilling to take Jin Suiran and Tang Qianshuo to his stall to buy cultural relics.
Especially for the fans of Jin Suiran and Tang Qianshuo, the good impression they had of her because of her rescue was gone in an instant.
[Xu Zhaozhen is the most stingy person I have ever seen in the domestic entertainment industry. 】
[Can Xu Zhao quit this show? He is selfish and petty, and has no sense of variety show at all. 】
[To be honest, I wonder if Xu Zhao is being supported by capital. Among so many fake stalls, she is the only one who found the real thing. 】
Rumors were spreading online. Jin Suiran and Tang Qianshuo, as the parties involved, had their agents discover extremely unfavorable comments about Xu Zhao online as soon as the variety show was broadcast.
After learning about this, Jin Suiran took out her cell phone to explain for Xu Zhao, and asked her agent to contact the fan club to tell her fans not to talk nonsense online.
Her agent couldn't persuade Jin Suiran at all and could only do what she said.
On the other hand, Tang Qianshuo's agent originally wanted to take advantage of the online momentum and let Tang Qianshuo play a pitiful role in order to win the sympathy of netizens.
"I won't do that!" Tang Qianshuo directly rejected his agent's request. "It would be immoral for me not to stand up and help at this time. Sister Zhao Zhao has helped me so much on the show. How can I be such a heartless person that I should stand up and denounce her with netizens?"
The agent wanted to persuade the artist again, but his artist refused to cooperate.
Tang Qianshuo always paid attention to the developments on the Internet, and he naturally did not miss Jin Suiran's actions.
In addition to Jin Suiran, there is also a bomb waiting behind.
The official Weibo account of City A Museum with a blue V also posted a Weibo at this moment.
A City Museum: Thank you Xu Zhao for cooperating with the country to find a batch of long-lost cultural relics. We would also like to thank Xu Zhao and Qiao Zhijing for donating the cultural relics they purchased to the country. We hereby give them verbal commendation!
"Look, Jin Suiran has issued a statement to clarify, and the National Museum has also issued a commendation. If I come out and step on them now, I will definitely be ridiculed by everyone afterwards. What's more, how can I face Sister Zhaozhao during the subsequent filming?" Tang Qianshuo's eyes were red, and he yelled directly at his agent!
His agent took out his cell phone to check and patted his chest. Fortunately, they did not take any action, otherwise if it really happened as Tang Qianshuo said, his star career would probably be completely ruined.
