For entertainment reporters, there are still many things to write about Lin Xin in this interview program.
First, he criticized the group of "movie fans" who said his acting skills had declined this time, and said that this was just a love comedy without ideas or content, so please don't use your brain, just watch it with a pink girl or boy's heart;
Then, he supported Rong Zhi, reprimanded the poor disadvantaged parents, and said that he had high expectations for his fans;
Finally, he revealed the true identity of the actor Gu Meng, who was said to be out of date, and praised Gu Meng's acting skills.
Each of these pieces of news was a breaking news. While watching the live broadcast, the entertainment reporters were already writing articles quickly, fearing that others would grab the lead.
Netizens also changed the content of their chats in time with the live broadcast, from Lin Xin's movies to the "little" girl who made her parents sell their house to chase stars, and finally to Gu Meng's gossip. The three topics were intertwined, and many netizens went to get a glass of water and didn't know where they were talking about.
"I think Lin Xin is going too far. The parents are so pitiful, why do they have to be said like this?"
"That's right, Gu Meng must be a domineering president in private!"
"I think so too. Those who need to think deeply about watching a romance movie are simply sick."
"????"
The netizen holding the water cup looked at the screen stupidly, wondering how these three sentences were seamlessly connected.
…
…
No matter how chaotic the argument is on the Internet, no matter how the media comments, in short, in the next few days, Lin Xin will definitely be dominating the Internet again.
A walking headline, he doesn’t appear at ordinary times, but when he appears, he has to show off his dominance. There is nothing that can be helped (Lin Xin sighs).
Meng Lan watched Lin Xin's live broadcast. She was worried about his "honesty", but also felt amused that he could create positive publicity effects in this way.
Lin Xin was on a show, and many people scolded him. The box office also increased rapidly. On Sunday, the box office exceeded 30 million, double the previous day. The positive reviews of the movie on the Internet also increased, overwhelming those who scolded him.
In addition to some short reviews saying it was good, there were also many nutritious long reviews. They praised this romantic comedy for making people yearn for love, with dense laughs and no awkwardness, and it was already a qualified romantic movie. Just because Lin Xin had played deep and somewhat tragic roles before, we cannot view a romantic comedy from the perspective of deep drama and tragedy.
Some viewers also admitted that because the movies Lin Xin acted in this year were all a bit heavy, even though he said it was a romantic comedy, they were still afraid that Lin Xin would insert glass shards in it. No one wants to feel heavy when watching a love story. Now after watching Lin Xin's interview, they are curious and want to watch this romantic comedy for fun. The plot of the movie lived up to their expectations and was indeed very good.
“It’s a lot of fun to watch with the whole family.”
"My parents, who are in their 50s, also find it funny. They just like watching comedies."
"I took my girlfriend to see it. She liked it very much and I thought it was funny too."
…
As more and more comments like this were made, the box office of "The CEO Chasing His Wife" continued to improve. Not only did the box office not drop on Monday, but it even increased by two million compared to Sunday. The attendance rate after work even reached over 90%.
This caused the theater chains that were already preparing to adjust the screening rate of this film to stop their actions and start to wait and see.
And a certain cinema chain, yes, I'm talking about Xue Fei, he rapidly increased the screening rate and scheduled intensive and seamless screenings in the evening.
Some of the subordinates had complaints at first, but when they saw that the attendance rate had not decreased, they silently swallowed their complaints and gave credit to the boss's "wise eye".
Our president is not doing this for personal reasons; this is because he has good business acumen.
Just when everyone thought that the public opinion would continue to argue for a while, on Tuesday, the official media also released news about Lin Xin. The front-page headline was an editorial by a big shot from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and Lin Xin's sad and handsome face occupied a quarter of the page.
Entertainment media: ???
Official media: Famous mathematician Lin Xin is worried about the future of China's mathematics community.
Entertainment media: ????
Official media: Many scholars call for attention to mathematics.
Entertainment media: ?????
Official media: Mathematics is the foundation of natural science. Without a solid foundation, how can there be a superstructure?
Entertainment media: ?????
Official media: We need to reflect! We need to increase investment in cultivating mathematical talents!
Entertainment media: Puff (sound of blood spurting)!
Then what happened at the end of the previous chapter happened.
Lin Xin was confused to find that her expression was over-interpreted, and the entertainment media were confused to find that the entertainment topic had become a scientific topic of concern for the country and the people. Lin Xin's entertainment-related hot spots quickly gave way to news and editorials released by the official media. The whole nation seemed to have suddenly lost their memory, completely forgetting what they were arguing about the day before, and unanimously followed the official media to worry about the country and the people and discuss mathematics.
Although most of them lament how difficult it is to learn mathematics, lament that learning mathematics is simply a pain in the ass, and kneel down to those who are engaged in mathematical research.
The entertainment media tried to change the tone and continued to discuss Lin Xin's movies and Lin Xin's high demands on fans, but the comments below were all "knees and skulls for mathematicians", "why skulls", and "because learning math is life-threatening".
The entertainment media pondered for a long time and held a small meeting, deciding to follow the official media and publish a handsome photo of mathematician Lin Xin who is concerned about the country and the people. Anyway, as long as there is popularity, anything can be published.
Lin Xin: ???
Looking at this group of entertainment reporters who began to dig deep into the past of mathematicians who made outstanding contributions to Chinese mathematics, Lin Xin felt that these people were probably crazy, otherwise why would the style be so strange?
On the one hand, the film reviews of "The CEO Chasing His Wife" expressed how funny the movie was, while on the other hand, the public opinion expressed how sad and painful Lin Xin was about the lack of mathematical talent in China, as if the Lin Xin in "The CEO Chasing His Wife" had nothing to do with the mathematician Lin Xin.
Lin Xin felt that looking at the public opinions about himself online, he felt quite divided.
"Why think so much? As long as the box office and attendance are up, it's fine." Meng Lan patted Lin Xin's shoulder and said, "Anyway, you always do things against the grain. I'm used to it."
Lin Xin defended herself: "This has nothing to do with me. I don't know why it turned out like this."
Meng Lan looked at Lin Xin with eyes that cared for a child and smiled, "I know, it has nothing to do with you, dear."
Lin Xin: “…”
He is no longer the simple little system he used to be. He can tell that what Meng Lan thinks in his heart is absolutely different from what he says!
Lin Xin was about to make an excuse, but Meng Lan changed the subject: "This reality show is a parent-child activity. Are you confident in taking care of children?"
Lin Xin pursed his lips, thinking that Meng Lan was too mean to change the subject and not let him refute. However, he still answered honestly: "No. I have never brought it."
Meng Lan frowned: "You have never been with children?"
Lin Xin said: "Getting along with the young actors in the crew... counts?"
Meng Lan sighed: "Just barely... forget it. But the girl assigned to you by the crew is only six years old. Don't make her cry."
Lin Xin wondered: "Why would I make someone cry?"
Meng Lan said: "For example, take her to do your favorite entertainment... do math problems or something like that."
Lin Xin originally wanted to say "Why can't we do math problems?", but he suddenly remembered the large group of math losers in the computer's statistical data and shut his mouth silently.
But Lin Xin felt that he could still struggle: "A six-year-old child... is already in elementary school? Or kindergarten? Does he have holiday homework?"
Meng Lan was speechless: "Just shut up."
Lin Xin looked aggrieved.
Meng Lan asked, "Can you play games with her?"
Lin Xin asked the computer to search for games that six-year-old girls like to play, and asked uncertainly: "Dolls? Playing house?"
Meng Lan: “…” Imagine that scene, it’s too beautiful to look at.
However, if Lin Xin plays house with dolls with little girls, maybe he can gain more fans, which is also good.
So Meng Lan said, "See what she likes, and try to play with her. Take care of any tasks she has, and don't let the little girl do things that you can do alone. If she asks to do something, give her some easy tasks."
Lin Xin asked: "Brother Meng, do you know whose child this is?"
Meng Lan said: "The children are all from outside the circle, and they were selected through registration."
However, after participating in this program, it is unknown whether her parents will allow her to enter the entertainment industry. This is not something Meng Lan cares about.
Lin Xin asked: "Do you have the name and parents' information?"
Meng Lan said: "The program does not allow us to contact them in advance."
Lin Xin said: "We won't contact them in advance, we will just collect information in advance, look at the child's family situation and education, and build a model so that we can calculate their behavior patterns through the model."
Meng Lan: “…”
He frowned and said, "Okay, I'll pass on the information I already know to you."
Meng Lan felt that occasionally chatting with Lin Xin was like a dialogue in a movie.
Collect data? Build models? Calculate behavioral patterns?
Is this also the way mathematicians think?
After Lin Xin got the information of the little girl who was going to work with him, the optical brain immediately collected the information of her entire family, from her parents' education to the training the little girl received in advance, and finally to her parents' expectations, and input all of it into the model.
Lin Xin looked at the final conclusion and couldn't help but frowning.
Perhaps it was because he had developed feelings for the human being after being there for so long, or perhaps it was because the movies he had acted in before had left a mark in his heart, he was somewhat displeased with this couple of parents and felt embarrassed for the child.
Light Brain: That plan of the parents is also stupid. Most of the audiences nowadays have a bottom line. Letting a six-year-old girl and an adult man hype up a couple will only have the opposite effect.
Lin Xin: It's not hyping up the couple, it's just skirting the line. A little girl who knows nothing hugs an adult's face and kisses him, and tells the adult that she wants to marry him when she grows up. Ordinary people will only think that the little girl is cute and won't be too harsh on her.
Optical Brain: But if you don’t respond well, the dirty water will be thrown on your head.
Lin Xin pondered. Perhaps he should say hello to the production team. Otherwise, the production team might deliberately lead the story to the edge of "uncle", "little girl" and "pure love" for the sake of "entertainment effect".
Although he cannot accept this kind of thing, and thinks that the public and media should be stricter in this regard, it is true that many people do not realize the negative impact of this on minors, and are indifferent to it, and even think it is cute.
The parents don’t necessarily not love their children, and they may not think that this is wrong; the program crew did not intentionally want to lead to bad public opinion, they just didn’t realize this problem.
In this regard, foreign countries have actually gone further, while China is still groping in the dark.
There is one bad thing about the tradition that has been passed down from ancient civilizations. It is difficult to eliminate some of the old feudal dregs. For example, the public still finds it difficult to talk about sex education, which leads to a lack of education, harming the younger generation and even leading to the theory that the victim is guilty.
This is even more true for children.
Lin Xin decided to put an end to this matter from the root. In addition to avoiding herself from falling into a public opinion crisis, she also hoped to prevent the child from being affected by this matter because of the parents' momentary lapse of judgment.
Perhaps he was really too immersed in the role of "Lin" and took this kind of thing too seriously.
Lin Xin told Meng Lan about this. Although Meng Lan didn't know where Lin Xin got the news from, if the news was true, then the decision of the program crew and the little girl's parents to "push" him and the little girl to be a "couple" would definitely not be a good thing for Lin Xin.
Meng Lan said: "I will go and find out what the production team has to say. If they decide to do so, then we would rather give up this program. Others can go on the show, but you absolutely cannot."
Lin Xin’s image is too positive and he is now being promoted by official media as a model scientist. He must not fall into a public opinion crisis immediately.
Lin Xin said: "I'll call my parents and ask if they know anyone in Guangdian. Even if it's a local satellite TV station, the program needs to be submitted for review."
Meng Lan: "...then let's do it on two fronts."
I almost forgot that there is someone above my child.
Lin Xin immediately called Lin's parents to tell them about this. Lin's parents scolded the obsessed parents and then said that they would take care of the matter. They could use their connections to ask the higher-ups to inform the production team and they must not promote the relationship with the child.
Lin Xin felt relieved after hanging up the phone. If my parents say they can do something, then they can definitely do it.
Lin Xin was relieved, but the program team was worried.
They didn't know how their internal plan was leaked and someone complained to their higher-ups.
The director of the satellite TV station was directly scolded by his superiors, saying that he had lost his conscience for the sake of the program effect. If this was your own daughter, would you be willing to let her kiss and hug others in public and have people publicize the ambiguous relationship between a little girl and an uncle?
Director of Satellite TV: ???
He was really confused by the scolding, right? But he could only nod and say that he would definitely investigate thoroughly.
The director of the satellite TV station immediately called the person in charge of the program, scolded him first, then looked at the program plan, and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Are you sick? It's their business how the guests commit suicide! But if our slogan uses this as a gimmick, you can expect me to step down and apologize with you!" The TV station director roared, "You directly use words like 'bride' and 'cultivation' as a promotion, do you want to be scolded to death by the public opinion?"
The young program director defended the situation by saying, "People are very open-minded nowadays. It's just a joke, a gimmick, and no one will take it too seriously. A lot of people buy into this."
The station director was so angry that he laughed: "Yes, there are many scumbags who like to eat this, but even if we are an entertainment program, we should have a bottom line. They are scumbags, we are not! If you have a six-year-old daughter, would you let her go on TV to kiss and hug an adult man, and have the TV openly promote her as a bride-to-be?"
The program director whispered, "But this is what her parents asked for."
Master: “Not everyone is suitable to be a parent. I just want to ask you if you would do the same if you had a daughter.”
The program director moved his lips but didn't say anything.
He happened to have a newborn daughter.
Is he willing?
Of course not.
He felt uncomfortable when he thought about his daughter growing up, falling in love, and marrying someone else in the future, even though his daughter was still a wrinkled ball and that day was still a long way off.
But, that is someone else's daughter, and other people's parents are happy to promote her in this regard. For the sake of the show's effect, why should he care so much?
The station director said, "If you don't like it, most people won't like it either. Some people don't care about it, but many people will feel the same way and hate this kind of behavior. As long as this kind of voice is heard, even if some people don't care, they will join in the crusade against us. Although you are young, you have been a program planner for several episodes, so you should understand this."
"By then, what does the little girl know? She must be innocent. Lin Xin has a lover, and he is a man. He is definitely not a pedophile and he is innocent. The only one who is criticized is our program team. I am optimistic about your ability and hope you can go further, but I hope you should have some bottom line when you use your ability. This bottom line is not only conscience, but also related to whether you can go further and more steadily." The director said earnestly, "Don't lose your eyes for performance. If we media people don't have a bottom line, we will become monsters that we don't even recognize."
The program director frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I'm sorry..."
The station director patted the program director and said, "Although I don't know who leaked this to the higher-ups, you should thank him. Now that you've received the rectification notice, there's still room for redress. But after the program airs, there won't be room for redress."
The program director said, "Then... do we need to replace the little girl, or communicate with her parents?"
The director showed a cunning smile and said, "No need. You should communicate with Lin Xin and tell him about this matter in advance so that he can prepare countermeasures. Then we can discuss it with him. We can just use the little girl's inappropriate behavior to publicize to the public the importance of children protecting themselves."
…
…
"This is what happened." Meng Lan told Lin Xin the feedback from the program team.
Lin Xin asked: "Won't this cause trouble for the little girl?"
Meng Lan said: "Probably not, because her young age is an advantage. At most, people will say that she is young and ignorant and has no one to teach her."
Lin Xin said: "I just need to correct her when she takes inappropriate actions or says inappropriate words, right? The production team has put pressure on me."
Meng Lan said: "As long as we were informed in advance, it was fine. They didn't know it was us who had to say hello to the higher-ups, so they didn't intend to embarrass us."
Lin Xin nodded: "I understand, I will be ready."
Meng Lan said: "If the little girl doesn't listen to you, try to avoid physical contact with her. Be polite and distant, and the audience will be able to see your attitude."
Lin Xin felt that he could do more.
So he stayed in the virtual space for a few nights before the show, studying education and psychology like crazy, determined to be a good kindergarten (?) teacher and correct the children's inappropriate behavior.
Lin Xin's eyes lit up with fire. He decided to treat this show as acting, and he was going to play a little girl who encountered problems with her parents' incorrect education.
He had to instill correct values in the little girl in just a few days.
Although it is difficult, he must try his best.
Lin Xin was so excited that he went to the program as if he was going to a battlefield. He even brought many children's books and textbooks.
"...You're not really going to teach her math, are you?" Meng Lan's voice was a little trembling.
Lin Xin said: "Pinyin, numbers, pictures, music, puzzles... not just mathematics. These are all highly praised early childhood education reading materials!"
Meng Lan held her forehead with her hand: "Forget it, as long as you are happy."
If I leave the public with the impression of an education fanatic, it seems... there won't be any negative impact, right?
I just hope Lin Xin won’t go too far when the time comes.
Before the show started, Lin Xin first chatted with his crewmates for a while, said hello to the program team, and then went to see the children who were choosing □□.
Lin Xin immediately saw the little girl who had seen the photos and videos. The little girl's eyes shrank as she looked at Lin Xin, with deep fear and anxiety suppressed in her eyes.
Lin Xin's heart suddenly softened for no reason, and she unconsciously gave the little girl a gentle smile.
The little girl grasped the hem of her tutu with both hands, lowered her head, and seemed to relax a little.
Lin Xin looked up at the parents who were standing beside him, looking at their daughter anxiously, and couldn't help but frowning again.
