"I have no ill will towards Director Wei. On the contrary, I always think that Director Wei is a very kind and serious person."
"Yes, that's right. My relationship with Director Wei is not as bad as everyone has rumored. In fact, we were friends before, good friends!"
"But what happened yesterday shocked me. I never thought that Director Wei would suddenly take such a heavy hand on Sun Peng, a well-known Chinese screenwriter! I even thought I saw it wrong."
"I am just a failed director. In the past two years, I have been shooting movies that no one is optimistic about. So it doesn't matter if my legs are broken or I am disabled! But Brother Sun Peng is different. He is one of the best science fiction screenwriters in China. The movies he wrote in the past two years, "Earth Tomorrow" and "The Light of Time", are both box office and well-received masterpieces. Even the "Interstellar Universe" planned this year has the opportunity to become a foundation for domestic films. He enthusiastically took this "Interstellar Universe" to find Director Wei, hoping that Director Wei would like it, but... hey... Director Wei didn't like it... Not only did he dislike it, he also belittled the script. Brother Sun was so angry that he said a few words, but I didn't expect Director Wei to hit me... hey, really, I wish Director Wei would hit me!"
"Chinese science fiction itself is sluggish, and it cannot compare with many major Western countries... Oh... Now the screenwriter is being criticized again, which is really... uncomfortable."
Afternoon of the 28th.
Shen Lianjie posted a Weibo.
On Weibo, people explicitly and implicitly described Fatty Wei as a blind and arrogant ruffian.
Of course, he didn't say that Lu Yuan insisted on not filming.
At this time, he didn't dare to openly say bad things about Lu Yuan on Weibo.
Why?
Han Lu is a lesson for us!
If he dared to openly imply that Lu Yuan was blind, his Weibo would probably be paralyzed tomorrow.
He hated Lu Yuan and felt disgusted with him, but Lu Yuan was like a stone in a toilet. If you wanted to provoke him, not only would you not gain much, but you would be stung by the stink.
He doesn't want to become like Han Lu who is still unable to recover.
Han Lu is still devastated because Lu Yuan snatched his endorsement away.
So Fatty Wei had to awkwardly take the blame for Lu Yuan.
After Shen Lianjie posted on Weibo, countless fans gave him thumbs up. Those brainless fans even comforted Shen Lianjie, saying that Shen Lianjie was not incompetent but just unlucky, and that they would continue to support him in the next movie and asked him to keep working hard, saying that it was a great fortune for China to have such a responsible director and other nonsense.
Shen Lianjie was instantly delighted when he saw the comments below.
He felt very happy to see so many people supporting him.
In fact, he did have an obsession with science fiction films. The ultimate failure of "Alien Killer" did not make Shen Lianjie despair, but instead gave him endless hope!
Are there many people criticizing "Alien Killer"?
There are so many thieves, too many to count!
But what about the box office of "Alien Killer"?
Even though it was taken off the screen early, the total box office in China is almost over 100 million!
Make money?
Of course it’s very profitable!
The market is there.
Shen Lianjie believes that the market for science fiction films is extremely powerful, and there is another advantage of making science fiction films, which is that you will be regarded as a hero!
Yes, a national hero!
In an era when Chinese science fiction films are generally sluggish, you suddenly step out and make a science fiction film, and then it gets good word-of-mouth and box office. If you're lucky enough to surpass one or two Hollywood films, then wouldn't you take off directly?
This is called investing!
It's an opportunity.
Investment is very important to Shen Lianjie.
You said Shen Lianjie was desperate before?
Yes, he was indeed desperate. After being hit by Lu Yuan every other day and almost doubting his life, he did consider giving up being a director.
However, that is based on the premise that there is no good script!
Now, he has a good script!
"Interstellar" is a good script, and with the excellent performance of Sun Peng's first two films, Shen Lianjie feels that he may be able to make a comeback this time, and it is very likely that this movie will become a turning point in his directorial career.
He is full of confidence in this.
As for you saying the plot is weak, you saying China's national conditions don't support such a blockbuster, you saying the special effects are poor...
But are these important?
No!
None of this matters at all!
He will use his real strength to prove that the true miracle of Chinese science fiction films comes from his hands.
After this Weibo hype, it is obvious that Shen Lianjie was successful. He successfully focused all netizens' attention on himself.
But on the other side, Fatty Wei also logged on to his Weibo and posted a message.
As for Fatty Wei’s Weibo, it is much simpler.
"First of all, I want to sincerely apologize to screenwriter Sun. I hit you too hard. I apologize to you for my mistake. At the same time, I wish I could go back to the time when I hit you. I wish I could hold back. I was too impulsive. After all, even if you call my father a bastard, trash, out of touch with the times, an antique, and a stubborn old man... and call me uneducated, I have to hold back... Even if you point at my nose and say that I am a waste, a retard, and a short-sighted thing, I have to hold back. After all, you only scolded me and I hit you. I am much worse than you... Here, I say sorry to you. Oh, by the way, the reason why I don’t make your movie is because your script is not good. I don’t have any other intentions. I will obey the arrangements of my superiors. If I should pay the money, I will pay the money. If I should be detained, I will be detained... I will actively cooperate. Sorry for the trouble."
At first, people on the Internet were cursing Fatty Wei, calling him a good-for-nothing.
However, when this apology Weibo was posted online, the Internet was instantly in chaos...
…
"From Wei Wuji's Weibo, it seems that Sun Peng said something rude to Wei Wuji's father?"
"Oh my god, this is really exciting. Originally the plot was completely one-sided, but now it seems to be a little different!"
“Looking at it this way, it actually makes some sense.”
"What do you mean?"
"Since Fatty Wei finished filming 'The Wanderer', he has become a director of some stature in China. Even if they couldn't agree on the script, a director of some stature wouldn't be so stupid as to beat up the screenwriter in a coffee shop, right? This doesn't make sense logically."
"That's right, there must be a disagreement between the two, and it is very likely that Screenwriter Sun's words were a bit too radical! Oh, wait, it seems that there was a news report two years ago about Screenwriter Sun quarreling with someone..."
"quarrel?"
"right!"
After Wei Wuji posted this Weibo, some rational netizens felt that it was indeed abnormal for Fatty Wei to take action.
Why?
How explosive was "The Wanderer" and how good was its reputation?
Fatty Wei is the director of The Wanderer. Doesn’t he have a bright future?
Is it really necessary to destroy your own reputation and beat you, Sun Peng, on the spot?
This is where rational netizens feel suspicious. Also, when netizens dug up a video of Sun Peng arguing with others two years ago, some netizens found it even more convincing.
Sun Peng has talent, but he has a foul mouth. He always acts like an idiot and thinks he is very awesome. Two years ago, he had an argument with paparazzi Song Ming over a trivial matter.
At the beginning, Sun Peng was just a screenwriter. Although he had some fame, he couldn't make much of a splash so this video didn't attract much attention. It was circulated on Weibo a few times before it faded away. But today is different.
"The Wanderer" is a big hit, and Fatty Wei's popularity is extraordinary!
Today, it was turned out on the spot...
This invisibly seemed to further confirm the authenticity of what Fatty Wei said on his Weibo, and netizens imagined the story of Sun Peng frowning and scolding Fatty Wei's father, and Fatty Wei getting so angry that he attacked.
This seems...
Is that excusable?
"This bastard!"
"OK!"
"I don't care!"
As for Fatty Wei's father, Wei Changjun, he was so angry that his face turned black after seeing this Weibo post.
Netizens may believe that Sun Peng would scold Wei Changjun, but Wei Changjun felt that it was his own bastard who was scolding him in a roundabout way!
Call me a bastard, trash, out of touch with the times, old-fashioned, and stubborn?
I originally wanted to clear it up, but now it seems that you should just squat down and calm down.
After thinking about this, Wei Changjun turned off the computer and continued to read the script of "Assembly" angrily.
This brat!
…
"Hello, Mr. Sun. Do you have any comment on what Director Wei Wuji posted on his Weibo?"
"What is it?"
"Oh, look, Director Wei has already posted a clarification on Weibo."
"What? Nonsense, nonsense, complete nonsense. Why would I curse his father? I didn't curse his father at all. How could my character be so low?"
"Then why did he hit you since you didn't say anything bad to him?"
"I don't know either. This guy is capable of anything when he gets angry. How would I know?"
"Oh, can you recall the original scene?"
"Well, sure. That starts from the tenth day of the box office of "The Wanderer". On that day, I ran into Wei Wuji by chance..."
Sun Peng took a deep breath, looked at the ceiling silently and recalled the scene of that day.
In front of the hospital bed, reporters listened patiently to Sun Peng's story...
But after all, Sun Peng is a screenwriter, so his story is inevitably a little long. It starts with him meeting Fatty Wei, and then Fatty Wei bought his script and said he wanted to ask Lu Yuan for permission to make a movie, and then he waited in the cafe...
Sun Peng completely positioned himself as the victim and told the story in its entirety, while also promoting his own movie overtly and covertly...
He felt this was an opportunity, an opportunity to promote the script!
Lu Yuan dares to advertise openly on the Spring Festival Gala, so why should I miss this advertising opportunity?
Moreover, the reporter who came to interview today is a well-known column reporter in the circle, and his audience is very wide!
To be honest, Sun Peng's self-boasting was boring to the reporter.
The story is also very monotonous. It's just that a director suddenly doesn't want to make a movie anymore, and there is no chicken breaking news at all...
Then, while talking...
"Wait, Editor Sun, you didn't actually scold Wei Wuji's father. You were just scolding Lu Yuan for being a blind and short-sighted person, right?" The reporter's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly signaled the recording crew and the camera to focus on Sun Peng.
"Well, yes, that's roughly what I mean. I don't have any other meaning. I dare not say that my script is the best in China, but it is definitely among the top in China. As for Lu Yuan, I think he is..."
"No! Brother Sun definitely didn't say Director Lu is blind, definitely didn't say that..." Shen Lianjie just walked in and heard this interview and was instantly scared to death. He quickly blocked the camera and said, "Stop filming, stop filming! Stop filming, Editor Sun needs to rest, we have something else to talk about."
"Director Shen, what are you talking about...what I said was..." Sun Peng was stunned when he saw Shen Lianjie's expression.
"Brother Sun, you are tired. Lie down for a while. I will answer the reporter... Stop talking nonsense now!"
“???” Sun Peng didn’t quite understand.
"Director Shen, please make way. I just want to know if Editor Sun has any opinion about Lu Yuan, and if he looks down on Lu Yuan from the bottom of his heart? Editor Sun, this is the program for telling the truth, you can just say whatever you want to say!"
Shen Lianjie blocked the camera, but the reporter suddenly pulled Shen Lianjie away as if he had found a way to expose the secret...
"I don't look down on Lu Yuan, I just mean that he has no vision! My "Interstellar Universe" is definitely a good script. I have planned to work with Director Shen to make this movie. This will be the first science fiction production in the history of Chinese cinema!" Sun Peng was shamelessly promoting his script and creating so-called online popularity.
"..." Shen Lianjie was completely shocked when he heard Sun Peng directly lead the conflict to Lu Yuan!
He suddenly felt like he had stirred up a hornet's nest.
Oh my god!
You are belittling Lu Yuan at this critical moment?
What a joke!
You might as well just admit that you cursed Fatty Wei’s dad!
day!
Don’t you fucking know that Lu Yuan is stinking shit, and whoever touches him now will be in trouble!
? ?
"Stop filming, stop filming, that's not what I meant, Editor Sun really didn't mean that, everyone stop filming, stop filming!"
“…”
