"Huh? Master Zhuang actually posted on Weibo. Such sharp words, who on earth provoked him?"
"I don't know. Judging from the content, it seems to be directed by someone. Does anyone know anything about this?"
"I know, this is the gossip from yesterday's lecture at Beijing University. Director Xu Lu and Master Zhuang have clashed..."
"Hiss! I just checked the trending topics and figured out what happened. Master Zhuang really got roasted."
...
"Speaking of which, Master Zhuang is, after all, a literary master. Wasn't it a bit much for Director Xu to criticize him like that?"
"Yes, look how angry Master Zhuang is. He even said things like 'the regression of human civilization'..."
"Although I think Director Xu's movie is well made, it can't compare to Master Zhuang's."
His literary works are far more impressive than any one or two movies. I support Master Zhuang.
"That's right, movies will become outdated, but literary works will become more brilliant with the passage of time."
...
After seeing the post, Master Zhuang's fans and supporters left numerous comments.
Meanwhile, some people in literary circles have also noticed Master Zhuang's activities.
"Hehe, it seems that Lao Zhuang is really angry this time. But that makes sense. Anyone would be angry if a young director dared to talk back to him like that."
"That's right! Although Lao Zhuang usually has a high-profile attitude, he can't be bullied like this by an outsider. Let's forward this to show our support."
"I heard that director Xu Lu has only ever written martial arts novels. How dare he challenge the literary field? It's outrageous..."
"Although I have some prejudice against Zhuang Qiu's 'Life's Journey,' it is, after all, a literary master who has been humiliated. How can we, as people in the literary field, stand idly by?"
...
As a result, people in the literary field began to share Master Zhuang's posts.
The situation is developing in a rather serious direction.
As some have said, the literary field may seem unassuming, but its true level is far higher than that of the entertainment field.
If these literary masters were to unite, their power would be truly astonishing.
So our Director Xu acted rashly and ended up getting into some trouble, though not insignificant, and now the other side is retaliating.
Of course, to be honest, it wasn't Xu Lu who started the trouble in the first place.
However, for a literary master like Master Zhuang, it's not important who started the trouble; the important thing is that he, as a literary master, cannot be insulted!
I'm a master, how dare you, a mere director, challenge me?
If I say you're not good enough, then you're not good enough. If I say I don't want to give the same speech as you, then you're not qualified!
In the past, naturally no one would dare to go against someone like Master Zhuang.
But even Zhuang Qiu himself probably didn't expect that he would encounter such an exception last night.
Not only did the other party dare to challenge him, but they also attacked him directly, making him the laughing stock at the party.
This incident even became a trending topic, and Master Zhuang felt that his reputation had been greatly affected.
If he can't get his revenge this time, how will he ever be able to survive in this industry again?
Others in the literary circle also began to voice their support for Master Zhuang because they felt a sense of crisis.
A small-time director dares to provoke a literary master?
This kind of thing would have been impossible in the past; no director would have had such audacity.
However, this actually happened at the lecture gala at Peking University last night.
In particular, even Master Zhuang, a literary master, did not gain any advantage.
This immediately put those in the literary circle on high alert, and they were determined not to let things continue this way.
If one "Master Zhuang" falls today, tomorrow another "Master Wang," "Master Liu," or "Master Gao" will fall...
If this continues, the status of the literary field will be greatly affected, and the level of their circle will be lowered!
In particular, how can outsiders view a literary master losing to a minor director?
Are people in the literary circle really this bad?
Are you so easily bullied?
So after seeing Master Zhuang's post, everyone started forwarding it.
The literary circle can fight amongst itself, but it must never allow an outsider to insult it!
In fact, Master Zhuang clearly knew this.
He had calculated that as soon as he posted this update, other people in the industry would take action.
Because this is not just his personal matter, but also a matter for the entire industry.
We share both glory and shame!
...
"Director Xu, the other side's counterattack has indeed come, and it's much bigger than we expected. If you really have any tricks up your sleeve, please bring them out quickly."
Feng Xiaoxia, who was closely monitoring the matter, immediately reported the news to Xu Lu upon receiving it.
To be honest, if it were just Master Zhuang exerting his power alone, he probably wouldn't be too worried.
But seeing so many people from the literary circle "besieging" President Xu, Feng Xiaoxia panicked a little.
Xu Lu, upon receiving the call, remained calm and smiled, saying:
"Don't panic. Is there any other news? It's just one post, what impact could it possibly have?"
"Mr. Xu, you don't understand. These are all people in the literary circle. Their influence is much greater than that of any minor celebrity."
Seeing that Mr. Xu didn't take it to heart, Feng Xiaoxia quickly explained:
"Don't be fooled by the fact that these people may not have as many fans as celebrities, their social status is incomparable to that of celebrities."
