Under the tough suppression of the iron-faced instructor, no one in the police academy discussed Tao Mu's visit to a nightclub with a group of cadets anymore. However, outside the police academy, the news of police cadets skipping classes to go clubbing in nightclubs still attracted the attention and controversy of Hong Kong citizens.
Some people felt that the young cadet's behavior of sneaking out to dance was very much in the style of Hong Kong dramas, and it even reminded them of their own school days when they skipped classes to go out and play. This group of people were still tolerant of the mischief of the cadets. However, some people took it too far, believing that this action completely tarnished the glorious image of Hong Kong police - if they cannot strictly abide by school rules during school, what will happen when they become official police officers in the future? As citizens of Hong Kong, how could they safely put their lives in the hands of these people?
"The police of Xiangcheng are supposed to protect the people of Xiangcheng. If you are so playful at such a young age, what will happen to you in the future?"
"Are you kidding me? Police officers go to bars to pick up girls. Do they have so much free time? It's a waste of taxpayers' money."
"This has caused us to lose confidence in the next generation of Hong Kong police officers."
Faced with such harsh and exaggerated remarks, many netizens disagree. Even regular police officers have the right to go to bars to relax after get off work, let alone the younger and more playful cadets. If you lose confidence in the Hong Kong police just because of this incident. The hearts of those citizens are a little too fragile.
However, no matter what, the behavior of a group of police cadets skipping classes to go to the bar still caused a lot of negative comments. In the end, even the Hong Kong Police Department was not alarmed. The Commissioner of Police personally called the Royal Hong Kong Police School to inquire about the cause and effect of the incident.
When the school approved Tao Mu's leave, they didn't expect this matter to become so big and serious. The principal of the police academy was overwhelmed and had to explain the whole thing to his superiors.
——However, whether you skip classes to go to a nightclub or take a day off to go to a nightclub, it’s not so nice to tell others about it. The latter is even more troublesome to tell others. Faced with this embarrassing situation, the Hong Kong Police Force can only severely criticize the actions of the Hong Kong Royal Police School. They believe that the police academy's decision was ill-considered and would have a significant negative impact on the glorious image of Hong Kong police.
The principal of the police academy did not expect things to turn out like this. In fact, there was nothing wrong with his original decision to grant Tao Mu a leave note - just as the iron-faced instructor said, it did not violate either the school rules or the laws of Xiangcheng. But now, the behavior of police cadets hanging out in bars at night has affected the image of Hong Kong police. When the higher authorities investigate, the police school will have no choice but to take the blame.
Inside the school, due to the instructors' strong suppression, no one discussed gossip anymore. However, it spread secretly among the cadets during extracurricular time when the instructors were not paying attention. The general idea was to complain about Jiang Jingwen and his people not abiding by school rules. Now that the matter had gotten out of hand, it had brought discredit to the entire Hong Kong police force, and the school was actually covering up the rumors about those police cadets.
Tao Mu noticed these opinions at the first time. It was he who suggested asking for leave from the police academy and taking the cadets to the bar. Now that things have fermented so seriously, although the school and the police students did not blame him, Tao Mu was not the kind of person who would hide away and let others clean up the mess after he got into trouble.
Tao Mu contacted Xu Musen, the director of Black and White, as soon as possible. The two discussed in the teahouse for an afternoon and finalized the preliminary crisis public relations. Then, Tao Mu took Director Xu Musen to visit the principal of the police academy.
The principal of the police academy had just been scolded by his superior and didn't know how to deal with the harsh public opinion. When I saw Tao Mu, I was not in a good mood either. He now deeply regretted that he had agreed to let Tao Mu come to the police academy to experience life - if it weren't for Tao Mu, so many things wouldn't have happened. He won't be scolded by his superiors, and those police cadets won't bring discredit to the Hong Kong police.
"What are you doing here?" The principal of the police academy looked unhappy. Changing the subject, he continued, "But you came just in time. I just happened to have something to announce to President Tao. I believe President Tao should have heard about this. There is a lot of talk about the cadets skipping classes to go clubbing. Everyone thinks this behavior has seriously tarnished the glorious image of the Hong Kong police."
"With such a big incident, I must admit that the decision of the police academy to allow Mr. Tao to come and experience life there was a little ill-considered. So after careful consideration, our Academic Affairs Office decided to cancel Mr. Tao and another student's auditing qualifications. I hope Mr. Tao can understand our decision and cooperate with our work."
Tao Mu smiled slightly and said, "I understand. The news that the police cadet skipped classes to go clubbing did make some people in Xiangcheng feel a little uneasy about the future of the Xiangcheng police. I didn't expect that those gossip paparazzi would say that the police cooperated with the crew of "Black and White" to film like this in order to attract attention. This is also my inconsideration."
When the principal of the police academy heard this, he snorted coldly: "It's good that you know--"
Before he could finish his words, the principal of the police academy suddenly reacted. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did you say? The police academy cooperated with the crew of "Black and White" to shoot?"
"Yes." Tao Mu nodded slightly, and said meaningfully: "Everyone knows that the reason why I came to Xiangcheng Police School to experience life is because I played the role of a Xiangcheng policeman in the movie "Black and White". I am from Yanjing, and I have never been to Xiangcheng before, nor have I met Xiangcheng police. I was very worried that I would not be able to play this role well. Fortunately, the Xiangcheng Royal Police School is eager to help people. Not only did they allow me to come to Xiangcheng to experience life, but they were also willing to cooperate with the "Black and White" crew to shoot. The scene in the bar before was just a rehearsal before we officially started shooting."
Tao Mu paused slightly when he said this. He looked directly at the principal of the police academy and said straight to the point, "I took the police cadets to the bar, which tarnished the image of the Hong Kong police. This is my mistake, and I cannot escape the blame. I understand why the school wants to revoke my qualification to audit. I can leave. But I hope to resolve this matter satisfactorily before I leave. I don't want the Hong Kong Royal Police Academy to be accused and questioned by the Hong Kong people who don't know the truth because of me. At least they should know that the Hong Kong police have always been willing to help others and serve the people."
The police academy principal's expression softened slightly. But he was not forgiving and snorted coldly: "That's easy for you to say. Do you think the people of Hong Kong will believe this explanation? Even if they do believe it, wouldn't it be even more ridiculous if the police academy helped the crew to film the movie?"
"On the contrary. I think that working with the crew of "Black and White" is a very rare opportunity to promote the positive image of Hong Kong police." Tao Mu said with a smile: "In fact, in recent years, Hong Kong has also had many TV dramas depicting Hong Kong police. However, these TV dramas rarely receive support and technical guidance from the Hong Kong police. This time, Director Xu filmed "Black and White" and invited many first-line superstars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong. With a large investment and large production, if we can receive guidance from the Hong Kong police in terms of fighting scenes, then the technical level of the film will be even higher. I think this is a very positive promotion for both of us."
Xu Musen was also convinced by Tao Mu's words. Hearing this, he took the initiative to take over the conversation and said, "If the police academy agrees, we can gather the cast and go to the police academy to receive technical guidance from the instructors before filming begins."
The principal of the police academy was moved. It has to be admitted that the inquiry into cadet police officers skipping classes to hang out in bars has had a huge negative impact on the police academy. The principal of the police academy is also worried about how to resolve this crisis. However, the police academy is not a professional public relations company after all. Faced with this kind of crisis, the only thing the principal of the police academy can think of is to terminate the experience or punish the cadets. However, this measure has no effect on the current public opinion situation.
But if Tao Mu follows his idea and the police and the "Black and White" crew do publicity together, it will be different. Regardless of the effectiveness of this publicity, at least it can solve the crisis of police cadets skipping classes to go to bars. Moreover, by allowing the crew of "Black and White" and a number of big names from both sides of the Taiwan Strait to enter the police academy for training, more people will pay attention to the Royal Hong Kong Police Academy...
Tao Mucha's face was pleased, and he proposed again: "If the school is willing to coordinate, we can actually invite the instructors of the Flying Tigers to serve as the martial arts instructors and technical instructors of the film. We can even invite the Flying Tigers to participate in the filming of the fighting scenes at the end of the film. I think this gimmick will definitely attract the attention of the people of Hong Kong. After the film is released, everyone can see with their own eyes on the big screen how agile and extraordinary the Flying Tigers are in reality. I think after the people of Hong Kong see the heroic figures of the Hong Kong police with their own eyes, they will definitely feel more at ease and satisfied with their living environment. It will also help to shape the glorious image of the Hong Kong police in the minds of the people."
The principal of the police academy didn't say anything, but he had actually been convinced by Tao Mu. Very tempted by this suggestion. However, when it comes to the transfer of the Flying Tigers, the principal of the police academy cannot make a decision. I could only call the Hong Kong Police Department and tactfully explain that the whole thing was not as the gossip tabloids wrote - it was just that the Hong Kong Police Academy was cooperating with the crew in filming the film.
Of course, the Hong Kong Police Department knew that all this was just an excuse by the principal of the police academy. However, since such a big mistake has occurred, the matter must be resolved. As Tao Mu said, cooperating with the crew to promote is the best solution.
Now that things have come to this, there is no doubt about what decision the Police Force will make. The Commissioner of Police personally approved the proposal of the Principal of the Police Academy.
That afternoon, the Hong Kong Royal Police School held a press conference in conjunction with the "Black and White" crew. Explain to all media and Hong Kong residents that the fact that the police cadets went to the bar was a misunderstanding. The students of the Royal Police School of Xiangcheng are responsible for protecting the people of Xiangcheng and will never do anything that violates school rules. As for the previous gossip newspaper revelations, it was just a rehearsal conducted by the Hong Kong Police Academy in cooperation with the crew before filming.
The police cadets who were photographed were actually cast members of the "Black and White" crew. She is the image ambassador sent by the Hong Kong Royal Police School to cooperate with the crew to promote the image of the police. They are all young police cadets who have performed exceptionally well while in school.
In addition, as the chief director of the "Black and White" crew, Xu Musen also personally announced at the press conference that the crew will hire the instructor of the Hong Kong Flying Tigers as the crew's action director and technical director, and will gather important actors to enter the police academy for training before filming begins.
After the press conference, Xiangcheng Entertainment was in an uproar. The people of Hong Kong, who originally had a lot of controversy about this matter, are no longer obsessed with old news such as whether police cadets should go to bars. Everyone was convinced that the gossip was definitely a propaganda trick created by the "Black and White" crew and the Hong Kong police.
Of course, there are many more people who are looking forward to the cooperation between the "Black and White" crew and the police.
Inside the school, Jiang Jingwen, who had thought that he was about to be in big trouble and was trembling with fear waiting for the school's punishment, and the cadet police officers who went to the bar with him that night were suddenly stunned.
Police academy joint crew promotional filming? Are we all students sent by the police academy to act in the drama? How come we don’t know about this kind of thing?
On the other hand, Zhong Chengzhi and others who had been gloating over this matter immediately became indignant. They felt it was extremely unfair. Why were Jiang Jingwen and his people able to represent the police academy in filming a movie despite violating school rules? These well-behaved students are being punished?
All of this must have been instigated by the scheming Tao Mu. It is really too much to engage in such ugly activities of forming cliques within the police academy.
Zhong Chengzhi and other police trainees were indignant. I feel the school is biased. The more they thought about it, the angrier they became. Some of the impulsive people couldn't help themselves any longer. Even during training, he questioned the instructors.
"This is unfair!" Zhong Chengzhi stared at the instructor with red eyes: "Why are the police cadets who are close to Tao Mu the ones who represent the police academy to participate in the filming? If the police academy really wants to recommend outstanding police cadets to participate in the filming, they can hold a competition. If we lose, we can lose with conviction. But now, we don't even know the selection criteria, and we are eliminated. I don't accept it!"
This is representing the police academy and even the Hong Kong police, acting together with a group of big names from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau. They couldn't even get close to the limelight. How can they accept this? Why are all the good things snatched away by those students who are willing to curry favor with Tao Mu? We are all students of the police academy, so the selection should be fair.
The iron-faced instructor remained expressionless. He also knew the whole cause and effect of the incident. It's just a stopgap measure to resolve crisis public relations, there's no need to ask so many questions.
The iron-faced instructor felt that since Tao Mu and Shen Yu came to the police academy to experience life, the cadets, who were already difficult to teach, had become more and more difficult. He is very unhappy.
The unhappy iron-faced instructor simply pushed the blame on Tao Mu: "It was Tao Mu himself who persuaded the police academy and even the Xiangcheng police to work with the "Black and White" crew to promote it. The entire set of activity planning was also made by Tao Mu. As for the candidates for the performance, it was Tao Mu who proposed it to the school after investigation. Tao Mu believes that the acting skills and image of these students are capable of doing the job of filming for the crew. The school also believes that the candidates given by Tao Mu are very excellent and can represent the image of the police academy. If you have any questions, you can ask Tao Mu yourself."
The iron-faced instructor refused to even call Tao Mu's student number. Call them by their first names. After hearing this, the cadet police officers looked at each other in bewilderment. What the iron-faced instructor said was right. No matter how they questioned the school's decision, they could not refute the fact that the cadets who skipped class with Tao Mu to go to the bar that day were all outstanding students who ranked in the top ten in the daily assessment. If the school determines that these students can represent the image of the police academy. At least when it comes to test scores, they can't argue with that.
As for Tao Mu's recommendation, of course Tao Mu would recommend someone who was good with him and familiar with him. Is there any doubt about this?
They usually don't get along well with Tao Mu, and they are even jealous that Tao Mu, an auditor, performs better than them in daily assessments and training. He often spoke ill of Tao Mu behind his back. If they were Tao Mu, they would definitely make the same choice.
After a long silence, some people subconsciously looked at Shen Yu in the team.
As for trying to get close to Tao Mu by bowing their heads, we are all young people with strong self-esteem and thin skin, so we definitely can't afford to lose face. But Tao Mu is not the only one in the "Black and White" crew. In comparison, Shen Yu is still the investor who brought money into the group.
Shen Yu's words must be more powerful than Tao Mu's minor supporting role. If they want to join the crew for filming, have close contact with the big names, or even ask for autographs or take photos with them, they don't have to follow Tao Mu's path. Please ask Shen Yu, they are so nice to Shen Yu, Shen Yu will definitely speak for them.
Shen Yu, who had finally healed his foot and was standing in the team waiting for training, blinked in confusion: Why are you all looking at him?
