Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 48 Let the Bullets Fly for a While
Since he registered his social media account, he has rarely logged in, let alone posted any messages.

When he logged in again, a large number of message notification sounds rang out. He looked again and saw that all the messages had shown 99+ in just a short while.

When Xia Yuan clicked into the private message box, his brows immediately frowned.

It was a huge area filled with curses.

"You came here because of your reputation, and you spit before you leave. If you can use a rapist as the lead actor, I believe you are not a good person either. It is very likely that you are the same kind of person."

"As expected, people make movies like them. In your lifetime, you will only make some cool movies that have no substance or meaning."

“Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish.”

"You can't be so arrogant, right? You don't really think you can become a big director just because you have a hit movie, right?"

"Burn the incense! You sent it, I said!"

However, Xia Yuan never cared much about these rubbish.

Are you kidding? As a player who surfs the Internet intensively and also plays a ghost game like LOL, which is a bit abstract and he often confronts others online, what kind of scenes have he not seen?

You think you can break his defense with just this little bit of aggressiveness?
It has to be said that Xia Yuan's psychological defenses are obviously higher than those of ordinary people, not to mention that he was well prepared the day he chose to enter this industry.

As a literary and artistic worker, your works are aimed at the public, so it is naturally impossible to make everyone like you. This is unrealistic. There will always be people who scold you.

So Xia Yuan didn't care much and just took a quick glance.

In addition, there is a lot of spam.

"Hello, Director Xia. I'm sorry to bother you. If I hadn't been desperate, I would never have come to you online. But I really have no other choice. Now even eating has become a problem. Can you lend me 5000 yuan? I will definitely pay you back as soon as I get my salary next week. I'm really grateful."

"."

There was no useful information, so Xia Yuan quickly closed the private message box.

If the private message box is like this, then there must be a lot of rhythm under his updates.

Then Xia Yuan clicked in and found that it was true. The comment section of his private post had exploded, with tens of thousands of comments filling the comment section.

He has just over 9.8 followers on Weibo now, but there are in the comment section, almost catching up.

In fact, it is true that Xia Yuan is now at the center of public opinion, and public opinion is extremely unfavorable to them.

But he still chose to issue a statement.

It was a very simple and brief statement, but it directly showed his firm position, which was to stand on the side of Huo Chunliang, not abandon him or terminate the contract, and publicly stated that the events of that year were controversial and not true.

However, his remarks are like a lone boat in the noisy and hyped ocean of public opinion, which can be overturned at any time.

It basically didn't cause any waves.

This is also a very normal thing. After all, although they are now very clear that what happened back then was false, they cannot produce any strong evidence to prove it for the time being. And the most important thing is that it is very difficult to reverse public opinion in this situation.

It takes a lot of time and other costs to conduct confrontation and guide public opinion.

But do they have that kind of time now? Of course not.

Now, the more important thing for Xia Yuan and his team is to complete their filming work.

He was even prepared for failure, but even though he thought that the movie might lose all his money, he never thought of giving up Huo Chunliang.

Xia Yuan always felt that one should act according to conscience when doing things. If he gave up on Huo Chunliang because he was afraid of public opinion and power, and people trusted him so much and treated him so well, then was he still a human being?

He could never force himself to become the kind of person that is now rampant in the circle

Xia Yuan also turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside. He planned to finish the work first, and then concentrate on solving the problem. As for now, let the bullet fly for a while.
He shifted his gaze to another unfamiliar script on the other side and pursed his lips slightly.

"Take a few steps, and you will feel like a tiger is walking in the wind. Take a few steps, and you will travel a thousand miles in a day. Take another step, and it will seem like a lifetime ago. Let's not talk about whether showing off your arrogance is seeking death. Now, I will play with him for a while to see if the blue sky will come. Is there still a blue sky in the world, and is there peace?"

Soon, he finished his speech and shifted his gaze away again.

As time goes by, the day when "Master" officially comes to an end is getting closer.

As expected, Xia Yuan's insignificant response did not cause any waves.

After a while of criticism on the Internet against Xia Yuan's new movie and Xia Yuan and Huo Chunliang, it died down.

After all, in today's era, countless new information bursts out every moment, and people are constantly under the influx of various information. Many things may be forgotten in a blink of an eye. Today's netizens are also known for their poor memory.

However, the movie "Master" failed before it was even released because it used actors with bad records.

No audience will have any expectations for it anymore.

After all, people tend to follow the crowd, and this is true for all literary and artistic works. Often a bad review will make many people back off and they will not click in to watch. Word of mouth will spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. You won't even need to watch it, your reputation will already be ruined.

What’s more important is that Xia Yuan is not a big director yet. At most, he is a new director with some fame who has just appeared in the public eye.

On the other side, in Lucheng, Fujian Province, in an ordinary old community.

In modern metropolises, high-rise buildings stand in rows and newly built prosperous places are everywhere.

But there are still some places where there is some ordinary atmosphere of fireworks.

The largest number of residents in this type of old community are local middle-aged and elderly people, as well as some migrant workers who choose to live here because of the low rent.

At this moment, near dinner time, many elderly people will be taking walks in the community to exercise, or play chess and listen to opera.

"Hey, good afternoon, Erhua from the Lin family. Did you just get off work to pick up your son and go home?"

One of the old ladies waved enthusiastically.

The person walking towards me was a middle-aged woman.

This middle-aged beauty has a plump figure. Even though she has some white hair on her temples and wrinkles on her face, it is not difficult to tell that she was also very graceful when she was young.

But life still left fatigue on her face.

After a tiring day, Lin Erhua took her son's hand and greeted the old neighbors with a forced smile.

She looked like she was worried. How could the old lady not see that after living for half her life? So she just said a few words without leaving any trace and left.

Only then did Lin Erhua return home with her son.

Her life now is uneventful except that she just repeats the same things like a zombie every day.

Life is hard enough as it is.

Until recently, it heard a familiar name again.

She had forced herself to forget that name for a long time, and also forced herself not to feel guilty.

But it wasn't until I heard this name again and combined it with my own experiences in recent years.

She couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart.

This name was once a household name, Huo Chunliang.
