Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 438 Slapping Teacher 6 in the Face!

Teacher Liu is the actor who played Sun Wukong in the old version of "Journey to the West", and he is loved by the audience.

His remarks immediately garnered support from a large number of backers.

"Teacher Liu is absolutely right. Adaptation is not about making things up randomly; otherwise, we should apologize to the people of the whole country!"

"I'm already tired of Zhou Yang and Zhou Xingxing. One is a trash actor, and the other is expressionless. These two are not worthy of shining shoes for our highly respected Teacher Liu!"

"Teacher Liu is right, Teacher Liu is amazing!"

"There can only be one Monkey King, and that is our Teacher Liu!"

"The entertainment industry needs people like Teacher Liu who dare to speak out. The behavior of 'A Chinese Odyssey' is unacceptable, and we must resolutely resist it!"

"Support Teacher Liu, boycott 'A Chinese Odyssey'!"

"Absolutely boycott!!!"

"..."

At this moment, Teacher 6 is giving a lecture on Journey to the West culture at Dongshan University, where international students and their study partners (Xueban) who have come from afar have gathered together.

He glanced at his phone screen and noticed that the number of likes and shares on Weibo had exceeded 100,000, so he projected his phone screen onto the big screen.

The international students and their study partners looked at the data with surprise.

"Wow, this Weibo post has over 6 interactions! Teacher Liu's charm is amazing!"

"The comments have exceeded 6! Teacher Liu's influence is not to be underestimated, he's amazing!"

"Even most well-known celebrities would find it difficult to reach such numbers!"

"Look at his number of fans, it's over 600 million! He's practically an international superstar. His fan base is comparable to the population of a major city."

"Huh? Did I misunderstand Chinese? Why did I see someone swearing at Teacher Liu on Weibo?"

"Yeah, those are haters. Of course, they're just jealous of Teacher Liu's talent..."

"I see. Let's study together tonight. I'm very interested in traditional Chinese culture. I borrowed a book from the library today called 'Jin Ping Mei.' Could you give me a lesson tonight?"

"Of course, I'll let my boyfriend know in a bit and tell him I'm going to get my hair done tonight."

……

Looking at the students' reactions, Teacher 6 leaned back with satisfaction and said proudly, "What is an international superstar? This is it!"

I'm so scared!
A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience, as everyone applauded Teacher Liu's outstanding performance.

Zhou Yang noticed 666's comments and couldn't help but shake his head. This 666, because he's been praised to the skies by his fans for so long, probably thinks he's the only one who can portray Journey to the West well. However, he's wrong to criticize Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang immediately picked up his phone, wrote a message, and posted it on Weibo.

"#Actor Zhou Yang: I firmly support Teacher Liu, especially that old man named Wu Cheng'en. His adaptation is too messy and he must apologize! Why do I say this? Because Wu Cheng'en ignored Teacher Liu's original work and committed the seven deadly sins!"

"First sin: The Jade Emperor was actually amused by Sun Wukong (played by Teacher 6) to the point of falling over, but Wu Cheng'en did not include this wonderful part in the book!"

"The second crime: The elder of Guanyin Temple died in a fire, but Wu Cheng'en didn't mention it at all, saying that he died by hitting his head against a wall, which is utterly absurd!"

"The third crime: Zhu Bajie fought off the bandits for Gao Village, but Wu Cheng'en deliberately ignored this and even slandered Zhu Bajie for having an affair with Miss Gao, defaming his innocence. His crime is heinous!"

"Fourth crime: The White Bone Demon was captured before being killed by Sun Wukong, but Wu Cheng'en distorted the facts, saying that the White Bone Demon was killed directly, thus glorifying the White Bone Demon and harming Sun Wukong. He should apologize!"

"Fifth crime: Where did the Dragon King come from during the battle in Chechi Kingdom? It was clearly the four gods of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning who appeared. Wu Cheng'en was completely ignorant of Journey to the West!" "Sixth crime: Tang Sanzang actually took the initiative to chat up the beautiful village girl. This is a desecration of Master Wu Cheng'en. Wu Cheng'en must apologize!"

"Seventh sin: Sun Wukong actually threw Princess Baihua's child to its death and slaughtered all the spider demons. How despicable! This is a personal attack on the virtuous and talented Teacher Liu. Wu Cheng'en is unforgivable and knows nothing about Journey to the West!"

Upon seeing Zhou Yang's Weibo post, netizens familiar with the original "Journey to the West" were overjoyed.

"Haha, it really brings a smile to my face. This kind of adaptation is a unique interpretation, quite different from others."

"I know nothing about this. Could someone please explain it to me?"

"It's so disappointing! I can't believe my parents idolize him so much!"

"Zhou Yang, stay calm. People around you are starting to make harsh comments about you."

After posting on Weibo, Zhou Yang immediately threw herself into her busy work. Time is precious and shouldn't be wasted on these controversies.

After editing, Zhou Yang led the crew to promote "A Chinese Odyssey" across the country.

Of course, during the promotional event in Beijing, a reporter asked Zhou Yang: "What would you like to say about the recent controversy between you and him online regarding the adaptation of 'Journey to the West'?"

Zhou Yang glanced at the reporters present, smiled slightly, and said, "I want to emphasize that Mr. Liu's original intention in creating derivative works is correct, but I hope he will not only allow himself to create derivative works while restricting the creative freedom of other cultural workers. Thank you."

Surprises galore!!!

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause; Zhou Yang's answer was truly outstanding.

It affirmed Teacher 6's strengths while also pointing out some of his shortcomings. Compared to his honesty, the difference in quality was immediately apparent!

The week-long movie promotion quickly came to an end, and the premiere of "A Chinese Odyssey" finally arrived.

On the day of the premiere of "A Chinese Odyssey", the cinema was packed, with the majority of the audience being fans of Zhou Yang and Stephen Chow, as well as many families with children.

During the Lunar New Year, audiences are eager to have some fun and watch lighthearted comedies to pass the time.

Stephen Chow and Zhou Yang's comedy film has received rave reviews, and judging from the trailer, it is sure to be full of laughs.

"Finally, the premiere is here! I almost burst out laughing just from the trailer, haha!"

"That's right, I decided to watch it after seeing the trailer, it's hilarious!"

"Sigh, my parents don't want to go out. They insist that derivative works are just random alterations and support Teacher 6. It's really both funny and frustrating."

"Haha, if they knew that Teacher 6's works are also secondary creations, what would they think? Hahaha!"

"I've heard that Stephen Chow is playing a role this time, and I'm really looking forward to it!"

"That's right, even if Stephen Chow has money, it would be difficult for him to be persuaded. Zhou Yang is truly amazing!"

"..."

At this moment, Zhou Yang and a group of filmmakers gathered in the cinema's lounge, listening to the audience's conversation with great satisfaction.

Then, a notification tone came over the loudspeaker.

"Ticket checking for 'A Chinese Odyssey' is about to begin. Please queue in an orderly manner!" the announcement was made over the loudspeaker.

After the audience entered, the lights gradually dimmed, and Zhou Yang and the other creators quietly stepped into the theater.

Before long, four gleaming characters appeared on the giant screen.

A Chinese Odyssey!
