The actors’ negative news was exposed earlier than Le Jing had imagined.
Almost immediately after the fourth episode of "Records of Great Literary Masters of the Republic of China" was aired, the famous paparazzi Mo Fei posted a post on Star Blog, digging up the pasts of all the veteran actors who had appeared in the show.
The StarNet completely exploded.
Although these veteran actors have been out of fashion for a long time, it stands to reason that even if some negative news about them is exposed, NBCS (nobody cares).
But when all these veteran actors are gathered in one drama, all the negative information is added together, creating a sensational effect of 1+1>2.
In addition, Le Jing's popularity has been on the hot search several times and "Chronicles of Literary Masters of the Republic of China" has indeed gained a good reputation among a niche range. When this kind of black material was exposed at this time, it naturally attracted people's attention and attracted countless heated discussions.
The happy scene does not make you angry but happy.
Which good person helped their crew to increase the popularity?
Isn’t black and red red?
Thanks to this expose, "Chronicles of Great Literary Masters of the Republic of China" has completely gone viral, from its previous niche field to the eyes of more audiences and seen by the general public.
Even if many viewers will watch it with the intention of criticizing, at least they will watch it! And Le Jing is confident that after seeing the acting of those veteran actors in person, many viewers will really like it. After all, the acting of those veteran actors is not to be underestimated.
Le Jing thought, in order not to disappoint the good intentions of the person behind the scenes, let their crew be attacked for a few more days, be scolded by netizens for a few more days, and then he would hold a press conference to whitewash. The more their crew is scolded now, the more delicious the reversal will be in the future.
…
Bai Moxuan, the head of Bai Group, is a domineering CEO who is busy with all kinds of affairs. But besides work, he also has his own hobbies.
It's just that he is always busy and has little rest time, so he can only develop his hobbies whenever he has time.
At this time, he was sitting on a private spaceship, and his destination was the United States on Liberty Star. He was going to negotiate a multi-billion dollar business deal with the local tycoons.
It takes an hour to reach Freedom Star from Peace Star where China is located, which is enough time for Bai Moxuan to take a short rest and recuperate.
So the female secretary asked considerately: "Boss Bai, it's still early, would you like to take a rest?"
Bai Moxuan pinched the bridge of his nose. Although he was tired, he still firmly rejected the secretary's suggestion, "No, I want to watch TV series."
The smile on the secretary's face froze. She looked at Bai Moxuan in surprise, almost at a loss: "You want to watch a drama?"
Oh my god, their workaholic boss actually watches TV series!
Bai Moxuan gave her a strange look and turned on the big screen of the home theater: "Is there anything strange about me chasing dramas?"
"No, no." The female secretary waved her hands repeatedly and looked curiously at the dazzling array of movies on the big screen. "What drama do you want to watch?"
"'Little People in the History of Ancient Earth Civilization.'" As Bai Moxuan spoke, a film and television work immediately appeared on the big screen.
Sound like a documentary?
Seeing that Mr. Bai was concentrating on watching the movie, the female secretary muted her voice and dared not disturb him. She also cast her eyes on the big screen, curious about what kind of work could make Mr. Bai, who was so picky, so tired to watch the drama.
Bai Moxuan has only been into "Little Man" for a short time.
If it weren't for the enthusiastic recommendation from Zhong Liangning, a big V in the history circle whom he has been following for several years, Bai Moxuan, who has been so busy recently that he has hardly had time to sleep, would not have been interested in following the drama.
Then he knew he had chosen the right drama!
This documentary, titled "Little People in the History of Ancient Earth Civilization", has each episode lasting only a dozen minutes, but it has unique material selection, exquisite ideas, profound content, sophisticated plot, and lifelike characters. It is a rare masterpiece in recent years.
What's even more rare is that he saw righteousness and bravery in these stories. In the modern society where people are impetuous and profit is the top priority, the perseverance and righteous deeds of these little people are particularly precious. Bai Moxuan's cold heart would be moved by warmth from time to time.
Although many viewers feel that each episode is too short, for the busy Bai Moxuan, this length is just right, allowing him to squeeze out time to watch the drama despite his busy schedule.
Yesterday, Saturday, "Little People" was updated to the sixth episode. Because he didn't have time, he could only watch it today.
I wonder what kind of story about little people will be told today?
[The first episode of "Little People" tells the story of Cui Zhu, a doctor of Qi State, who killed the king and the historian. The protagonist of this episode, Chen Buzhan, is a little person whose fate was indirectly changed by Cui Zhu.] The narration slowly sounded, and a pale-faced scholar appeared on the screen.
[The scholar had a pale face and no beard, and was thin and weak. He was holding a bamboo slip and shaking his head, reciting a poem loudly. Suddenly, he heard someone shouting from under the window: "Rat, catch the mouse!"
“Rat!” The scholar’s eyes widened, he threw away the bamboo slips, jumped up like a rabbit, and jumped onto the bed in a flash, hugging the quilt and shivering, “Where is the mouse? Where is it??”
A few breaths later, a chubby little kid poked his head out of the window. He laughed at Chen Buzhan, who was shivering on the bed, and shouted contemptuously, "Chen Buzhan, you coward, drink cold water, or your mother will spank you!"
Chen Buzhan's face turned red, and he finally realized that he was being teased by a child.
He climbed down from the bed, rubbed his nose good-naturedly, and smiled bitterly: "You know I'm timid, yet you scare me again and again like this."
The boy made a face at him and ran away laughing.
Chen Buzhan shook his head, not caring about the dirty quilt he had stepped on, and carefully picked up the bamboo slips from the ground. He wiped the dust off them with his sleeves and sighed softly: "When will I be brave enough?"
A few days later, Chen Buzhan went to the street and found that everyone was talking about the murder of Duke Zhuang of Qi by the doctor Cui Zhu.
Chen Buzhan was horrified, and trembled all over after hearing just a few words. "How could Doctor Cui, as a minister, do such a treasonous thing?"
Others said, "If you ask me, it's because the king is so licentious that he raped his minister's wife. Doctor Cui had no choice but to do this."
Chen Buzhan shook his head, his face pale, his voice trembling, and he stammered, "The king is wrong. Doctor Cui, Doctor Cui, as a minister, you can give direct advice and scold, but you should not, should not kill the king! With such a treasonous act, is he going to become... become the eternal sinner of Qi?"
The bystanders were shocked. He looked at Chen Buzhan in surprise: "How dare you, a coward, scold Doctor Cui?" He threatened him with a sly smile: "Be careful, Doctor Cui will hear you and arrest you and behead you!"
Chen Buzhan's face turned pale, he was shaking like a sieve, and he bit his tongue several times, "Dr. Cui, Dr. Cui did something wrong, so... Even if he kills me, I will still condemn him."
People began to laugh at him: "Come on, you are a coward, you only know how to brag. If Dr. Cui were here, you would be so scared that you would not be able to say a word!"
Chen Buzhan's face flushed, he lowered his head and said nothing. 】
Bai Moxuan frowned. He was born bold and daring, and he dared to think and act. He looked down upon people who were cowardly and incompetent like Chen Buzhan the most.
He couldn't understand why this episode of "Little People" chose a cowardly character like Chen Buzhan as the protagonist. What's the point of telling a story about a coward? Or will Chen Buzhan change in the future? Will he overcome his cowardice and become a brave man?
With this expectation in mind, Bai Moxuan continued reading.
[Chen Buzhan returned home in a daze. He did not sleep all night, tossing and turning, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
The next day, he took a shower, put on his most respectable clothes, and walked out of the house trembling.
His face was as white as paper and he trembled as he walked. He slowly walked to the market and hired a carriage.
The driver asked, "Where are you going, sir?"
"Let's go to the capital." Chen Buzhan was sweating and his teeth were chattering. "Cui Da... Cui Zhu, this traitor killed the king. I want to... I want to seek justice for the king."
The driver looked at Chen Buzhan in surprise and praised him, "Young Master, you are truly a righteous man!"
Chen Buzhan showed a smile that was uglier than crying. He tried to climb onto the carriage tremblingly, but his legs went weak and he almost fell off the carriage.
The driver was startled and immediately rushed over to support Chen Buzhan and put him safely into the carriage. Chen Buzhan's face was as white as paper and he collapsed in the carriage like mud.
The driver hesitated to speak.
By the time it was time for lunch, Chen Buzhan's hands were shaking so much that he couldn't even hold the chopsticks. The driver couldn't help asking, "If you're so scared, what's the point of going to the capital?"
Chen Buzhan was silent for a moment, wiped the sweat off his face, shook his head, and a conflicting look of timidity and determination appeared on his face at the same time: "The king is in trouble, and as a subject, I have to speak up for him and die for him. This is a moral requirement, and my cowardice is my own business. I cannot sacrifice the public for personal reasons, so I must go to the capital."
Bai Moxuan was shocked!
He didn't expect that the cowardly Chen Buzhan could say such a thing!
He even began to be a little in awe of Chen Buzhan.
What is bravery?
It is brave to do something even though you know it is impossible.
Even if there are tens of thousands of people against me, I will still go forward, which shows courage.
Chen Buzhan represents the third kind of bravery.
Although I was very scared and knew I would definitely die this time, in order to uphold my inner morality, I overcame my fear and went to die.
How great! How magnificent!
Who can say that Chen Buzhan is not a brave man?
How powerful is the courage that can make a cowardly person go to die? This kind of courage is more precious than the courage of heroes.
There is no shortage of brave people or cowardly people in the world, but there is a lack of people like Chen Buzhan who overcome their cowardly nature and do brave things.
Even Bai Moxuan, if he knew that the road ahead was death, he would have changed his path long ago. What kind of bullshit principles can be more important than life? He would never be like Chen Buzhan, who would go all the way and not turn back even if he hit a wall.
So he was in awe of Chen Buzhan.
So he began to be curious about Chen Buzhan's ending.
Will he be able to survive?
What a pity it would be if such a determined and brave person really died!
What was Chen Buzhan’s final outcome?
Then, Bai Moxuan slowly widened his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Chen Buzhan died soon after.
He did not reach the capital and was unable to condemn Cui Zhu and uphold justice for the king. His death had nothing to do with Cui Zhu, the King of Qi, or anyone else in this world.
His death was not spectacular or great, and the cause of his death was so absurd that it was almost a joke - he was scared to death.
When the carriage passed by the battlefield, Chen Buzhan was frightened to death by the sound of the two armies fighting.
He was born a coward and died a coward.
He never acted as a brave hero.
The only brave thing he did in his life was that he mustered up the courage to go to the capital.
However, it failed.
He died on the road in a way that was very consistent with his identity as a coward, and was considered a coward in the eyes of others until his death.
"Wuwuwu..." A soft sobbing sound suddenly rang in his ears. Bai Moxuan woke up from his melancholy and found that the female secretary next to him was crying with tears all over her face.
"What's wrong?" he asked at first, and then he found that his voice had become a little hoarse.
The female secretary wiped her tears in panic and choked up, "How could Chen Buzhan die? He hasn't gone to the capital yet, hasn't condemned Cui Zhu yet, hasn't done justice for the king yet, hasn't left his name in history... How could he..."
Bai Moxuan was filled with disappointment and said, "Yes, how could he die?"
The female secretary said angrily, "Will this author be able to make a video? I was expecting Chen Buzhan to achieve great things after overcoming his fear, but the author ended the story badly and forcibly killed Chen Buzhan. What's more, the cause of his death was so absurd and ridiculous. It's too much!"
Bai Moxuan was silent for a long time, shook his head, and replied: "It's not forced death. Being scared to death may sound absurd at first, but considering his timid personality, this is not impossible."
"But you can't just write him off like that!" The female secretary said unconvincedly, "Chen Buzhan hasn't achieved his goal yet, hasn't become a hero yet, how can he die?"
"...So Chen Buzhan is a nobody." Bai Moxuan sighed and said rationally and soberly: "If he really becomes a hero, then he is not a nobody anymore."
The secretary was speechless immediately.
It was at this time that she finally remembered the name of the film - "Little People in the History of Ancient Earth Civilization".
Chen Buzhan's dramatic, simple and brutal death is consistent with his identity as a small man.
It's easy for small people to die.
Walking quietly on the sidewalk, you may be hit to death by someone jumping off a building; eating at home, you may be hit to death by a meteorite; a minor cold may eventually turn into organ failure and death...
Because that's how unlucky little people are.
The female secretary couldn't help but ask Bai Moxuan, "Boss Bai, do you think there really was a person like Chen Buzhan in history? Is this a fictional character created by the author?"
Bai Moxuan answered frankly: "I don't know." He met the secretary's sad and sorrowful gaze and answered firmly: "But I hope so. I hope there are countless Chen Buzhan hidden in our lost history."
"Because only this kind of history is worth our concern and exploration for thousands of years."
The female secretary nodded and suddenly said, "I also hope that Chen Buzhan really existed." She looked at the screen that had gone black, and the cowardly young man who desperately tried to die seemed to appear in front of her again. She said softly, "He was so brave in the past, and it should be filmed so that future generations can admire him."
Bai Moxuan nodded silently.
For a moment, the spacecraft fell into silence.
The idea that had been vaguely in Bai Moxuan's mind before became clearer and clearer. He felt that "Little Man" should not only exist on the Internet, it should also be made into a holographic movie and put in theaters for more people to see.
He made his decision quickly.
When he comes back from discussing business with Free Star, he will meet the author in his old days and have a good conversation with him. It would be best if he could buy the broadcasting rights of "Little People" from him and promote it through all channels.
The Bai family is engaged in the energy industry. Bai Moxuan knows little about the entertainment industry, and the Bai family does not have any resources in the entertainment industry, but he is very confident about the prospects of "Little People".
The fact that even a cold-hearted person like him can be moved is enough to prove the excellent quality of "Little People".
He checked the time and found that he would arrive at his destination in half an hour. He had originally wanted to watch an episode of "Republic of China Literary Masters", but now it seemed that there would not be enough time. It was a good opportunity to save up a few more episodes and watch them together.
Bai Moxuan had not watched "Republic of China Literary Masters Chronicles". He even found time to watch "Little People" by himself. He knew that "Republic of China Literary Masters Chronicles" was a TV series co-produced by the author of "Little People", Jiu Shi Fengjing, and other directors.
A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. With the success of "Little People" before, Bai Moxuan is looking forward to the plot of "Records of the Republic of China's Literary Masters".
Now that he has some free time, Bai Moxuan is no longer sleepy, so he starts to browse the comment section of "Little People" to check readers' comments.
Then he was unexpectedly informed of the latest scandals and gossip from the crew of "Chronicles of Great Writers of the Republic of China".
[The World Belongs to the Three-Body Problem: Zhang Yanfang, who plays the prostitute Bai Shaoyao, was actually a prostitute. Does this count as acting in her true colors? ]
[A friend of mine wants to go and see: There is also the actor who plays Zheng Yiliang and Wu Yan. Who could have imagined that a gambler would play a noble and brave scholar? He owed a lot of loan sharks because of his gambling addiction, but now he has made a comeback. Has he paid off the debt? ]
[Home in the Northeast: If it weren't for that exposing post, I wouldn't have known that the police captain was actually played by Xuan Liang. He abused his parents and is worse than an animal. Why didn't the radio and television station ban him completely? ]
【Chen Buzhan, you died miserably: Tsk tsk tsk, this really opened my eyes. Old Scenery was really bold to invite these actors. 】
[Nan Ke Yi Meng: Is it fun to enjoy the dirty old scenery and make money? ]
Bai Moxuan skipped over the disgusting curses and quickly searched and completed the original course of events.
He frowned deeply.
He has always viewed actors' private lives and careers separately. In his view, how actors want to live is their own business, and as long as they do not break the law and do their job well, the audience has no right to interfere.
However, he also understands that a large number of audiences pay great attention to the character of the actors, and the actors' negative information can even ruin a good drama.
He began to worry about his favorite author.
He decided to take time to watch "Chronicles of Great Writers of the Republic of China" as soon as possible. If it was really a good drama, then he would definitely speak out about it.
The author has something to say:
Chen Buzhan’s life is unknown. The complete record of him comes from the New Order of Righteousness and Bravery compiled by Liu Xiang, a scholar of the Western Han Dynasty. The full text is as follows:
When Cui Zhu of Qi murdered Duke Zhuang, there was a man named Chen Buzhan. He heard that the king was in trouble and was about to go to the king. When he was about to go, he dropped his dagger while eating and lost the handlebars when he got on the carriage. The driver said, "If you are so cowardly, is there any benefit in going?" Buzhan said, "To die for the king is righteousness; to be cowardly is selfishness. I will not harm the king for selfishness." Then he went. Hearing the sound of fighting, he was frightened and died. People said, "Buzhan can be said to be the courage of a benevolent person."
