Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 323: Response and Social Responsibility (Additional Update for Alliance Leader Wanshiruanyi)

Cheng Xi smiled awkwardly when he saw Teacher Weng Yang start talking about the movies produced by Zuibai again.

Learning is about yourself.

But it is understandable that in recent years, Zuibai Entertainment’s marketing has been almost unmatched.

Every time Cheng Xi makes a move, it will be studied crazily by the industry.

The same goes for the production direction. The top three domestic box office hits are all movies produced by Zuibai.

If you want to teach without referring to these parts, that would be untypical and unrealistic.

Since we were talking about Cheng Xi's movies and Cheng Xi himself was there, the students were naturally very interested.

Weng Yang couldn't help laughing when he saw his classmates below looking up from playing with their phones.

It seems that this trick of mine works.

The classmates looked at Cheng Xi sitting in the first row while the teacher was talking about the movies produced by Zuibai Entertainment.

It feels a bit like reality is unreal.

You know, the objects that everyone studied before seemed very far away, and they were all famous directors and works.

There are even some masterpieces by masters.

At this moment, it seemed as if his classmate Cheng Xi was shining with light.

Teacher Weng Yang was giving a lecture, and Cheng Xi opened a book, put his phone underneath and continued to read everyone's comments.

At this time, Deng Jie forwarded a news report to him.

The title is:
Public figures should shoulder their social responsibilities and serve as role models for young people.

The example in it mentioned the recent incident of skipping classes. Although it was not stated explicitly, everyone could tell who it was talking about.

Is my name already mentioned in the news?

Cheng Xi thought of the comments on Weibo that he had just read in the car, and combined them with this newspaper.

I feel that the "fact" that I skip classes every day has caused a bad influence.

No matter what the reason for this phenomenon, in the eyes of the public and young people, especially those who are still in school, it is the time for them to shape their values.

At this time, if your role model skips classes every day and takes the lead in playing games, it is inevitable that it will have an impact.

Even young children have started to imitate it.

This phenomenon exists objectively and Cheng Xi cannot turn a blind eye to it.

Since one has used this influence to make money, become famous and realize value, one should indeed assume more social responsibility.

Even if I can't be as free as before.

Because Cheng Xi still thinks he is a person with something to pursue.

It's not the kind of person who thinks he is the best in the world just because he makes money and becomes famous.

He does not aspire to be a saint, as he himself has many flaws.

But I still hope that I can bring some positive energy to those who regard him as a role model.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xi carefully edited a paragraph and sent it to Deng Jie.

[Send this paragraph to Yao Qian in the PR department. Have them polish it and review it, and get back to me as soon as possible.]

[Also, please pull out my itinerary for the past three months and format it for me.]

[Okay, boss. 】

Cheng Xi was fiddling around downstairs while the teacher was talking upstairs.

"What do you think is the most important factor that has enabled the movie 'Mojin: The Lost Legend' to achieve such a high box office?"

“Quality is good.”

“The plot flows smoothly.”

“Good marketing, good special effects.”

"Zuibai's brand is very solid."

"."

Listening to everyone's scattered answers, Weng Yang suddenly turned his gaze and said to Cheng Xi who was burying his head:

"Student Cheng Xi, what do you think?"

When Cheng Xi heard the teacher calling his name, he looked up and looked at the beautiful teacher Weng Yang a little confusedly.

What do you want me to do?

When Teacher Weng Yang realized that his "good student" had not listened to the lecture at all, he had to repeat the question again.

Cheng Xi thought for a moment and said:

“The most important reason is the money.”

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

Weng Yang and his classmates did not expect Cheng Xi to answer like this.

And so simple and unpretentious.

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened.

Some people even secretly turned on their phones and recorded the incident.

"If a film wants to reach the 5 million yuan mark, it can rely on quality and excellent marketing hype. But when it reaches 10 billion yuan or even 20 billion yuan, it needs money to increase its strength."

"Because whether it's publicity, hiring actors, or improving the quality of the film, especially a special effects film like this, it all requires a lot of money."

"It's a joke. If you don't have money, you can't even afford the IP of 'Ghost Blows Out the Light', and there's no way it can have such a high box office."

When the last sentence was spoken, all the students in the classroom burst into laughter.

They also felt that Cheng Xi was not the kind of person who was building castles in the air, but rather very down-to-earth.

It's not about talking about random feelings or giving out some chicken soup for the soul or anything like that.

"For example, if you use tofu as an ingredient in a dish, you can certainly make a delicious dish. But if you have beef and tofu for the same price, people will definitely prefer the beef unless there's a special reason."

"That's why, when people go to the cinema and compare several options, they tend to prefer 'Mojin: The Lost Tomb'. They think watching this 'beef' movie is a better deal, not to mention that the beef tastes really good. Do you understand?"

Originally, Cheng Xi subconsciously wanted to say "I understand the applause", but fortunately he restrained himself.

Everyone was shocked to hear this. It turned out there was such a profound and simple explanation from this angle. He was indeed a man of action, and he had made so many high-grossing films. It was indeed a reputation that he earned in vain.

Teacher Weng Yang first thought about the meaning of Cheng Xi's words, and then led the applause.

The classmates followed suit, and in an instant, the whole classroom was filled with applause.

Weng Yang: "It seems that the guest I invited is not bad."

Everyone laughed again.

After a small episode, Cheng Xi saw Deng Jie's message.

Cheng Xi combined his original version, slightly modified some of the wording, and pressed the send button on Weibo.

【Zuibai: Thank you for your concern.

Originally, I wanted to be clever and make up for the fact that I had to ask for leave.

Or as the PR team suggested, don’t reply and wait for the heat to die down.

But it is true that I have become a role model for many young people, especially among students.

Everything I have is given by everyone, so I should assume the corresponding social responsibilities.

Regarding asking for leave, I have completed all the procedures and am not absent from class.

As for why I asked for leave, I believe everyone knows what I am busy with.

I took a lot of practical classes, filmed "The Mermaid," acquired video websites, read scripts, did publicity, and did management and coordination work.
I will share with you my itinerary for the past six months.

Also, I didn’t just take three days of classes.

I was at school for more than ten days and attended almost every class I had.

Even though I am so busy, I still go back to school to recharge my batteries. This shows how important learning is to me.

In addition, if you follow my example and say you can play games, please note that the prerequisites are:

Have you achieved a small goal?

I don't recommend doing this until you make money.

The classification and order of important things vary at different stages of life.

Before I shot my first movie, I studied hard every day and worked hard to accumulate experience, only then did I achieve some small results.

And I haven't slacked off in my studies until now.

I hope that young people who truly take me as an example will get rid of their cold attitude, study hard, and grow seriously.

The future belongs to you who are full of vitality.

As a statement, this Weibo post will no longer publish game-related promotional content.

Those who use me as an example as an excuse to play games are all fake fans.
Of course, I still love you!
Thank you all for your continued support!

As soon as Cheng Xi posted on Weibo, the students from the Management Department sitting in the college noticed their phones vibrating.

Even those who had their phones on silent mode heard the ding.

When Cheng Xi saw that everyone was so synchronized, he guessed that they probably set a special reminder for himself.

It seems that I have quite a few fans in my class.

Cheng Xi’s “classmate fans” opened the message and found that it was actually a reply from Cheng Xi.

I can't help but sigh that there is a reason why Director Cheng can accomplish great things.

While answering the questions, he taught everyone a lesson and was able to give such high-quality responses with ease.

I can't accept it.

So everyone liked, reposted and commented on their big-name classmate "Director Cheng".

His three roommates were even more active in the movement.

And the reporters who had just been waiting outside for Cheng Xi.

Because Cheng Xi clearly said that he would respond on Weibo later.

While they disclosed the news, they also paid close attention to Cheng Xi's Weibo.

Waiting for first-hand news.

The result is that everyone is frantically refreshing "Zuibai"'s Weibo to see if there are any updates.

So netizens discovered it the moment Cheng Xi posted it.

When everyone saw the location of the post, which said something like "first row of the teaching building," they all laughed and joined the comment army:
[Teacher Zuibai is generous and responded directly and decisively without any hesitation. He is worthy of being my idol! ]

Director Cheng cracked me up! His urge to survive is just too strong. This was distributed in the Film Academy teaching building, in the first row! Oh my god, let me laugh for three minutes.

[I saw it too. I was dying of laughter at Teacher Zuibai! He stood at attention immediately after getting spanked. He posted all those Weibo posts in the classroom. So cute!]

[My drunk white baby, I can respond, but can you please stop playing with your phone in class and focus on your studies! Typing emoticon pack]

Director Cheng didn't disappoint us. He directly addressed the issue, frankly admitted it, and even announced his schedule, saying that everything was given to him by everyone. He took the initiative to shoulder social responsibility. So, I ask you, if you don't follow such a high-quality public figure, who would you follow?

[I'm asking for my good friend, what is Mr. Zuibai's goal for earning one?]

[Yeah, I want to ask that too! Because I want to achieve it sooner, then skip classes and play games!]

[The above post is clearly the fake fan Director Cheng mentioned. Stop messing around. It's rare for Director Cheng to be so sincere, so stop being so clever.]

After class, Cheng Xi did not leave the classroom immediately.

Instead, he took out his mobile phone to check everyone's feedback on Weibo.

I saw several responses that received a lot of likes and were also popular, one of which asked what a small goal for making money is.

So Cheng Xi replied directly:
[We shouldn’t be too greedy for small goals, for example, earning 100 million yuan is enough.]

【Netizens: ???】
