Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 532 What the people love to see, who do you think you are?

These remarks attracted the attention of various media outlets, and many fans understood that they were trying to cover up the truth.

However, some rational fans immediately offered their support.

"Is your reverence for art merely because your box office is higher? Or because you have extraordinary talent?"

I smell jealousy!

"Mr. Zhou is truly an amazing man! Oh my goodness, are you envious of him?"

"We have all witnessed Mr. Zhou's hard work! Every single one of his works is a masterpiece!"

"The blatant sarcasm in your criticism makes you seem terrifying! It feels like you're desperate!"

"..."

However, some foreign media figures, as well as some Chinese people with ambiguous identities, echoed this sentiment.

"I support expressing opinions! A lack of reverence for the art of film will not lead to long-term success! Most of these are commercial films, and they are indeed hard to believe!"

"I've wanted to complain about this for a long time! He's been hyped up like a god! I can't see any highlights! It's all about spending money on special effects! It's flashy but empty inside!"

"It's really baffling! The producers of these kinds of commercial films! And yet, there are still people praising them! I think 'Gravity' is much better!"

"I agree! How dare they even show this kind of work! It's nothing but garbage! It's hardly praiseworthy!"

"..."

Zhou Yang was still immersed in his dream when Chen Tianzhen called, waking him up.

Zhou Yang quickly checked the comments directed at him, which gradually turned his gaze cold.

Respect for the art of film means recognizing that every film and every person is unique. Just as some people are ordinary and unremarkable, it doesn't mean they have to attract attention to be meaningful.

The statement "If it exists, it must be reasonable!" is untenable and merely an attempt to ride the wave of popularity.

Zhou Yang dismissed these remarks with disdain, seeing Mike as a ridiculous clown, and his words revealed a burning anger.

However, this is just the beginning. The vortex of the internet always spreads very quickly, and trouble will come knocking on your door even if you don't go looking for it.

Those keyboard warriors hiding behind their keyboards will never miss any opportunity to hurl insults.

Some online trolls found his Weibo account and began their hypocritical yet authoritative criticism and lectures.

"You've utterly disgraced yourself, even internationally! You're nothing but a money-grubbing dog! Every day I see your work! I wonder what flaws you've pieced together! It's all so obvious!"

"It's shameful that people are publicly abusing each other on social media! It's utterly pathetic! Incompetent yet full of arrogance!"

"Don't get too cocky, or you'll become a laughingstock! You'll lose face completely, you'll be utterly humiliated!"

"Please stop creating garbage! Stop disgracing our country! And stop jeopardizing the hopes of Chinese cinema! It's utterly ridiculous!"

"Those guys who make garbage films are just cash grabs! Pah!"

These comments were indeed sharp, and Zhou Yang's fans quickly began to pay attention.

Numerous loyal fans have joined the fray, showing their full support.

Are you trying to incite foreign media? Is everyone now blindly worshipping foreign things? Have you ever appreciated Yang Ge's work?

"This is ridiculous! Only you people are the ones who embarrass the country with your insults! You think you're so great? You're just pathetic keyboard warriors!"

"This is the first time I've ever been so angry I laughed like this! Is this some kind of foreign worship? Does everything foreign is perfect? ​​Does every bit of foreigners' excrement smell good? Do we believe everything they say? This is clearly an insult to our own people!"

"Who do you think you are? Put down your keyboards if you dare! Stop spouting nonsense!"

Zhou Yang got up early in the morning to join the "Doctor Strange" film crew on their promotional tour. They finally arrived in the next city.

The reporters watched intently as Zhou Yang led the crew to the center of the stage, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

It seems their trip was indeed the right choice!
The most anticipated thing right now is the movie about Zhou Yang!
They had barely sat down, and before they were even settled, several reporters were already eager to ask questions.

A female reporter spoke first, "Mr. Zhou Yang, what are your thoughts on the comments made by the Warner president?"

Zhou Yang appeared quite calm, smiled slightly, and said, "Why should I say anything more to a self-righteous clown? Movies are made for the audience! What the people enjoy is what they want. Who do you think you are? Art needs elegance and refinement, but it also needs the simple and unadorned charm of folk life!"

These words shocked everyone present.

That's right!

Art itself has no distinction of nobility or baseness; honor, disgrace, poverty, and wealth are merely external material things!
Art is a spiritual sustenance, and its value transcends the mundane!
After a considerable amount of time, the Chinese people burst into enthusiastic applause.

Zhou Yang took the microphone and announced, "Thank you all for supporting the movie 'Doctor Strange'! If someone challenges me, then my next work will showcase true cinematic art!" These words revealed Zhou Yang's upcoming new work.

Everyone present was incredibly excited!
A reporter quickly asked, "What's the name of your next movie?"

Zhou Yang only said four words: "Farewell My Concubine!"

His voice was steady yet powerful, immediately conveying the essence of the film.

"Farewell My Concubine" is a well-known story!
Although many young people today may not know the specific plot, they know that this is a classic of Chinese culture!
The people present were extremely excited, and thunderous applause erupted!

It seemed to express their anticipation for the movie!

The promotional video went viral online, and most people expressed their anticipation, while only a few questioned Zhou Yang!
"Using 'Farewell My Concubine' as film material! Don't ruin our tradition!" a voice rang out.

“Such a meaningful story! Don’t ruin our memories!” another person said worriedly.

"Can you even act? Stop pretending now!" Another rebuke came.

"Boycott this new film!" Various voices clashed...

Zhou Yang focused on preparing for the work in the room, carefully selecting Cheng Kun and Liu Tianxian.

Preparing for filming requires a lot of thought and effort.

Therefore, the casting was entrusted to Chen Tianzhen.

Cheng Kun and Liu Tianxian were both somewhat surprised when they received the invitation call, but due to their different ideas, they both readily agreed.

A few days later, Zhou Yang made all the necessary preparations and brought the "Farewell My Concubine" crew to the antique-style film and television city.

Zhou Yang put a lot of effort into setting up this scene, personally directing the setup and procurement, and finally recreated that special atmosphere.

……

These remarks immediately attracted the attention of major media outlets and fans, and many fans also understood the implied meaning behind them.

Rational fans have expressed their support:

"Reverence for art is not simply about box office success and ability."

"I smell jealousy in your eyes. Are you really jealous of him?"

"We have all witnessed Mr. Zhou's hard work! Every work he has produced is outstanding!"

"Your sarcastic attitude seems rather harsh, like a cornered dog jumping over a wall."
