Generation Z Artists

Chapter 95 Launching a Large Satellite into Space
Bald Head and Dark Eyes, who had already been hiding in Nong'an, were overjoyed and faxed the finished manuscript back that same day.

By the way, why are they in Nong'an again... Do they need a reason to travel on public funds?

The sudden emergence of "Sex" has changed so many things.

Dark circles pounded his chest and promised the director: "I will fight Fang Xinghe to the death! I will dig out explosive information!"

The relief on Director Fei's face was simply a reflection of fatherly love.

"Well, well, with such a capable general, why should we worry about the failure of our great undertaking?"

After Cheng Yizhong learned about this, he called the bald man aside and stuffed a roll of RMB into his hand.

"Lao Gan, I trust you the most. Give me solid evidence. Do you understand?"

Looking at the other party's meaningful eyes and the action of cutting with one palm, the bald man nodded: "Don't worry, I know the rules and I guarantee that there will be no mistakes!"

"it is good!"

Cheng Yizhong was very happy. He patted the bald man's shoulder and distributed the pancakes to him without any charge.

"When you return victoriously, I will not only recommend you for merit, but also blah blah... the position of director of the third editorial department blah blah..."

The bald man bent over and laughed so warmly.

However, as soon as he went out, he casually counted the money in his hand and immediately spat beside him.

"Bah! F*cking cunt! You really take me for a fool, asking me to do perjury for 2000 yuan? You deserve to be pointed at and cursed!"

This is another new story - when Cheng Yizhong was at work in recent days, there were always female employees or neighbors pointing fingers at him behind his back.

As soon as you turn around, people start smiling. As you continue walking, people smile even more happily...

He laughed so hard that his pee turned yellow.

Otherwise, he would never bear the pain to take out 2000 yuan - it's the office's business, why should I spend my personal money? It's not easy for me to get some funds!
Then Bald Head and Dark Circles used his funds to eat Nong'an barbecue.

The two of them didn't bother Fang Xinghe. They just strolled around every day, entertained their colleagues, sang some songs and drank some wine in the evening, and spent the whole day happily.

It was not until Fang Xinghe gave the order that the two began to work hard.

"Editor-in-Chief Cheng, I found some great news!"

"Director Fei, be prepared to give me a promotion and a raise!"

After hearing the exaggerated report and the faxed interview transcript, Cheng Yizhong laughed so hard that his kidney stones seemed to break.

"Well done! Fuck, I'll see whether you can die this time! Wahahahahahahaha..."

The manuscript received in the afternoon was typeset immediately, and this guy circulated the manuscript to his colleagues. Lie Yanshan and others called to ask questions.

"Is it accurate? Can it be verified?"

"Accurate!" Cheng Yizhong trusted Baldhead very much, "Our reporter guaranteed it with his life, and signed his real name, 100% reliable!"

"But why didn't any news come out before?"

Lie Yanshan still had doubts in his heart: "So many reporters have been to the county before..."

"They explained it to me." Cheng Yizhong said in detail, confidently, "It's a small place over there, very closed. Fang Xinghe used his power to block and monitor his uncle, and the authorities also warned their family not to talk nonsense, so they have been busy until now."

"Then why was it suddenly dug out?"

"Because of the article 'Sex'!" Cheng Yizhong said confidently, "The article mentioned that his uncle came to ask for the house, which caused his uncle's family to be under great pressure. People came to the door every day to cause trouble. He wanted to clarify, so he had to take the risk and tell the truth!"

"Hmm..." Lie Yanshan nodded slowly, "That's very reasonable."

"Of course!" Cheng Yizhong said proudly, "Besides, that guy doesn't trust anyone else. He only trusts us at Nandu. Other reporters went to interview him in the past few days, but he didn't leak a single word!"

"Okay!" Lie Yanshan made up his mind, "Then mobilize all your forces and start a blitzkrieg from tomorrow!"

"That's it! Build up momentum and make it as big as possible right away. Don't give him any chance to react. Tear him apart completely!!"

"Well, do you have any arrangements for a TV interview? Will that person cooperate?"

"Not yet. I don't think Capital TV will be able to survive."

"Then I'll ask my friends at Guangwei. Once we expand our influence, there will definitely be TV stations willing to follow suit."

"Okay, I'll take care of Fang Xinghe's uncle. Just give him the money. It's just right for me to file a bill with the funds."

"Do the accounts carefully and don't mess around."

"Don't worry, Brother Shan, there will definitely be a share for you!"

"Haha! Then I wish us a smooth operation and a proud life!"

These people are really not stupid, they know exactly how to use the power of public opinion.

So, on the morning of the 30th, an article titled "Let you know the real Fang Xinghe - fighting, blackmail, kidnapping, torture, arson, attempted murder, a perverted soul born from darkness" instantly detonated half of the Chinese society.

Led by Nandu and Nanri, more than ten local newspapers reprinted the article, all of which were headlines in the social and cultural sections.

When Liu Dashan woke up, the sky had fallen.

Huang Jinghe woke up furious.

As soon as Feng Yuanzheng woke up, he couldn't help but call Fang Xinghe.

Busy.

At this time, Fang Xinghe was sitting in Xiao Wang's office sipping AD calcium milk and reading the article they had rushed out with relish.

"Tsk tsk tsk, these damn details..."

The interview transcripts of Dark Circles and Forehead were extremely detailed, going down to the specific day and moment, how Wang Deli had a conflict with Fang Xinghe, how he was kicked the first time, how he was chopped the second time, and how Fang Xinghe poured gasoline on half the house the third time.

The cause and effect are clear.

Of course, he beautified the cause of the conflict and insisted that Fang Tonghui paid for the smuggling himself.

The article contained Wang Deli’s original words: “I only know that he wanted money because he wanted to do business, saying that his family was really struggling and he wanted to make some money to pay for my poor sister’s medical treatment.

I felt sorry for my sister, but my family was also in a difficult situation and we really didn't have much money. I was also worried. You know that man, he has no credibility. Then he said he would give me his house as collateral. If I didn't pay him back, he would take our house away. I had no choice but to accept the IOU...

Where is the IOU?
It was snatched away and torn apart by Fang Xinghe!
When I first went to his house, I just wanted to negotiate with him and see how to deal with it, and then he asked me: Is there really an IOU?

I replied to him: Really, I am your uncle, how could I lie to you?

He said, "Then take it out and let me see it. I recognize Fang Tonghui's handwriting."

Then I took out the IOU and showed it to him, but he suddenly jumped up and kicked me, knocking me to the ground, snatched the IOU away and tore it to pieces!

Woo woo woo, my money!

My family couldn’t come up with that much money at that time, so I had to borrow it from outside!
Now people are saying that I forced him to vacate the house and wanted to force my own nephew to death. How could that be possible! It's all bullshit!
I just wanted to negotiate with him whether we could get two smaller resettlement houses during the demolition, one for his cousin, and then we would be done with our debts. But what happened is that not only did he not agree, he almost beat our whole family of three to death in the middle of the night!

Look at this, what kind of human nature is this? "

The author confirmed again and again that Fang Tonghui really borrowed money from you. Wang Deli swore that it was true.

In this case, I completely disagree with Fang Xinghe's approach.

Repaying debts is justified.

Although current laws do not support a son paying off his father's debts, the moral concepts of us Chinese have always been so simple.

Fang Xinghe talks about all kinds of righteousness and morality, and criticizes rampant selfishness, but he actually acts like this, which surprises the author and makes him despise him.

Even if he didn't want to pay back the money, there were better solutions. His uncle was just negotiating and communicating, but Fang Xinghe directly responded with extreme violence. Isn't that the behavior of a devil?

Attempted arson, attempted murder, extortion, robbery and kidnapping are all serious crimes.

If he was not too young when he committed the crime and the relevant agencies were unable to handle it, his fate should be in a labor camp now, instead of openly publicizing his violent thoughts in newspapers and on television.

This is an extremely intelligent, dangerous, cold-blooded and cruel criminal. Making him an idol and packaging him as a talented artist is the biggest mistake our news media has made.

Now is the time to correct this mistake...

……

The entire report was extremely inflammatory and exposed all of Fang Xinghe's negative information.

Some of them are completely true, such as Fang Xinghe's public declaration that he would break his biological father's legs, and his writing in the semi-final essay "Knowing but Not Following" that "When I did something big", which fully proved the attempted arson.

There are even some new things in the article, the atrocities dug out from No. 3 Middle School——

Fang Xinghe once led 13 Eagles to tie up a hooligan outside the school who had attempted to rape a girl from No. Middle School and took her to an abandoned warehouse.

This was indeed done by Xiao Fang. When Da Fang found out about it, he had only one feeling... Well done!
However, this was also an irrefutable crime, but the current law could not do anything to Xiao Fang at the time, and the family did not dare to pursue it, so they just let it go.

Now it has finally been dug up, serving as strong evidence of Fang Xinghe's darkness and perversion.

……

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Xiao Wang said to Fang Xinghe in a sarcastic tone: "From this point of view, you have done a lot of great things..."

"Scared?"

Fang Xinghe glanced at him sideways. This old man did nothing serious all day long. Whenever he had time, he would come and touch him. It was so annoying.

Xiao Wang laughed: "Oh, you are quite energetic? Hurry up and think of a solution. The experiment cannot share the same fate with you."

"Don't get involved."

Fang Xinghe waved his hand and walked away: "Ask your king for a few days off. I won't be here in the next few days."

hide?
No, I was squatting in the grass.

They seem to mean the same thing, but they are actually very different.

The report by Nandu caused a huge sensation. Waves of reporters came to the small county town, and the outside world was also discussing it crazily.

The first person to reach climax was Song Zude.

Because of my good brothers, my "value has risen" and my publishing platform has jumped to the provincial newspaper level, and I am happily publishing.

"Zu De has always emphasized that Fang Xinghe is definitely a bad element! From his first article, Zu De started to say that he was not afraid of rumors or threats. Facts have finally proved that Zu De was right!

Where will this lead our teenagers if we allow such people to become teenage idols?

Zude urges the relevant departments to ban him immediately!
I am willing to kneel at the gate of the provincial government, risk my reputation and future, and eliminate this cancer from the literary world and middle school campuses!"

Fang Xinghe's comments after reading: Why does he always call himself Zude when writing? Does he really think of himself as a green onion?
But the article did work. In addition to being scolded, it also won the applause of a group of cultural scum. That group of outside writers and small intellectuals who didn't know the reason seemed to really regard him as a "backbone of public intellectuals" on the same level as Lie Yanshan...

And quite a few people really believed that he would go to the door to kneel and protest, eagerly waiting to watch the fun.

So it was a long hype that was played out until it was boring.

Another very important article comes from Lieyanshan. He uses the classic routine - completely defeating Fang Xinghe from a moral perspective, and then completely overturning everything criticized in "Sex", using the method of disproving the person to disprove the truth in the article. "Fang Xinghe has an extremely cute and innocent self. The reason why I use cute to describe him is that now I don't want to use any negative words to describe him. I was the first person in the media who praised his shining talent. I admired him from the bottom of my heart, and now I feel sorry for him from the bottom of my heart.

So where is his innocent self reflected?
This is reflected in the underlying thinking that "what I do must be right, and you are bad guys if you do this."

I understand that he did many wrong things to protect himself, and I understand even more that he developed an "absolute defense mechanism" in order not to be crushed by mental pain. He locked his heart and emotions in a cover. The cover was one-way transparent, and the light from outside could not get in. He hid inside and carefully observed the outside world.

So even though he was more domineering in his methods, more unrestrained in his demand for freedom, and more reactive to criticism from others, he felt that there was nothing wrong with him and that it was all the fault of those bad guys outside.

It is precisely because he possesses this extreme domineering attitude of "I can do it but you can't say it" that he can write such a profound and powerful article.

Some colleagues criticized "Sex" for not being literary enough, which is too biased. The quality and value of the article "Sex" itself should not be maliciously belittled. We must face up to his talent, but at the same time, we must also face up to the fact that his talent comes from a twisted and morbid soul.

So I partially agree with everyone's point of view - the criticism of various types of freedom in "Sex" just proves Fang Xinghe's own lack of freedom and his desire for freedom; the yearning for love and redemption in "Sex" just proves that Fang Xinghe now has neither love nor relief from his spiritual phantom pain.

I really hope that he can calm down, at least for a while, and recover his body and mind.

A genius who appears only once in a century in Chinese literary circles should not be such a tragedy..."

Lie Yanshan's article has brought the value of the interview transcripts to a level beyond the limit.

Now too many people like Fang Xinghe and think that any mistakes he makes are excusable, so Lieyan Mountain does not hit him hard, but cuts in along the texture, which is extremely vicious.

Who says there are no smart people among the public intellectuals?
A large part of them are not stupid, they are just bad.

Such a delicate landing even amazed Fang Xinghe himself.

However, when he saw the floating powder in the panel start to fall down madly, he laughed heartily from the bottom of his heart.

Okay, okay, you guys are the most valuable maggots!

……

In Mao Xiaotong's class, fans of Feng and Baifan were singing loudly right next to Fang fans' faces.

"Your Fang Xinghe is a criminal! What are you so proud of?"

"Your brother is an ugly bastard who has no knowledge or skills!"

"At least he won't be as bad as him!"

"That's not being bad, that's just having the courage to resist!"

"Bah! Criminal!"

"Haha, ugly!"

Little girls at that time were very childish, and their quarrels were far less varied than those in later generations. However, judging from the momentum of one Fang fan being able to do two things at the same time, the Iron Army was indeed gradually taking shape.

……

At Jilin University Affiliated High School, Huang Jinghe vigorously set up the Fang Xinghe Protection Association to win over neutral people for him.

"Let's not talk about whether the report by Nandu, which always loves to spread rumors, is true. Even if it is true, don't you think Fang Xinghe is even more pitiful?"

"Ah?! He is the only one who bullies others..."

"What do you mean by bullying? An orphan, without money or love, and with his only house being robbed by bad guys, how can he survive if he doesn't turn himself into a radical and brave person?"

"That doesn't mean you need to take some of your uncle's house, right?"

"This further proves how deep the scars in his heart are!"

"⊙o⊙?"

"Think about it carefully. Didn't he show a strong tendency towards self-destruction in Sex? When his mother was seriously ill, he curled up in bed and cried in despair every night. In the end, he watched helplessly as he lost the person who loved him the most. From then on, he lived like a lonely ghost. I'm not surprised that he chose to commit suicide, let alone burn down someone's house?"

"Eh? That makes sense..."

"Of course! He really isn't a bad person, it's just that no one taught him how to treat the world in a friendly way... Woo woo woo, it makes me so sad when I think about it..."

……

In the imperial capital, Yang Mi asked impatiently: "What the hell is it to you?!"

The female classmate widened her eyes: "Fang Xinghe is such a pervert, you actually... you actually..."

"But he's handsome!"

The girl paused and flicked her ponytail: "The moment I saw those eyes, I was willing to forgive him. What? Is that not possible?"

A group of people retreated collectively and no longer had the desire to continue fighting.

What can I say to a pure nympho girl who only cares about her face? It's like talking to a deaf person!
……

As far as Jishi is concerned, Li Hong did not have an argument with anyone.

When others criticized Fang Xinghe in front of her, she just smiled quietly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and even stopped Yang Xin who wanted to have a fight.

"Let them be."

Li Hong smiled and repeated, "Let them go. Believe in Xinghe. They are not in Xinghe's eyes. They are just some insignificant noise. We have our own things to do. Don't waste your energy here."

"Ok."

Yang Xin nodded gloomily and sighed, "But when will Xinghe launch a counterattack?"

……

not now.

In a struggle that is destined to be a very long one, the idea of rushing for quick results is the worst.

It is very common for young people to make the following mistakes: when they are stimulated a little, they immediately want to prove themselves, or they are eager to launch a counterattack and are always stuck in the rush of being mobilized.

This is unnecessary; this is not what the great men taught us.

In fact, Dafang is also a young man, but years of bedridden life have honed his patience and openness, allowing him to calmly face stimulation that ordinary people cannot bear.

It's just a little bit of wind and frost, why are you in such a hurry?
So he leisurely browsed the forum at home, reading how the first generation of stupid netizens scolded him, while casually adding points to his attributes.

In the blink of an eye, the health points reached 89 points.

In the blink of an eye, the recovery point reached 83 points.

The accumulation of many days was used up in one day. He blinked hard, and hey, there was more than 100 million left, a shallow layer.

When the name "Fang Xinghe" once again appeared all over the media, the harvest season came again.

The high threshold of "Sex" has attracted a large number of fans above the middle level. The widespread publicity of the news broadcast has provided a large number of floating fans to contribute to the starlight. The comprehensive counterattack of the defense system has pushed the fan level to a higher level...

Win again, always win, win all...

This is not just self-consolation. Every time he opens the starlight panel, he can't help but curl his lips from the bottom of his heart.

Level 3 die-hard fans: 22.2w
Level 4 Frenzy: 15588
Level 5 Faith: 18
They are the biggest gain, and in terms of quantity they can basically match the top goalkeepers of later generations.

This is not a particularly proud number, but it is a miracle.

Because the total number of star-chasing people is so different.

In 2025, all Chinese people will be able to chase stars. In the era of mobile Internet, everything will be very convenient.

方总手上有行业内部精确测算的整体数据：泛娱乐关注者总数8.8亿，12-35岁年轻女性群体2.15亿，具有轻度追星行为的年轻女性1.08亿。

Add to that the 1200 million men and 35 million women over the age of 1500, a total of 1.35 million.

The number of moderate to heavy star-chasing people fluctuates greatly. If we cut it in half, there will be about 6500 million left.

(So it is difficult for female top stars to emerge, and even if they do, they are not worth much. Essentially, this is because the traffic market for female stars is too small and their consumption enthusiasm is low, forcing them to pursue national popularity.)
But a basic fact that must be acknowledged in 1999 is that only urban girls are qualified to chase stars.

The vast majority of towns and rural areas don't care about any celebrities, no matter if it's the extremely popular HOT, or Xiao Tong, the white moonlight, or even Han Han and Guo Jingming, none of them have been able to truly extend their influence.

Xiaoyanzi's influence has sunk, but she only has a huge number of floating fans, and there are not many core fans. No matter how big the base is, it cannot change the current situation in rural areas.

Adult urban women also do not have the leisure to chase stars. Only a small number of white-collar workers meet the requirements, and the total number is very small.

And how many urban girls of marriageable age are there in total?
According to the results of the fourth national census, the population of first-tier cities is 108 million, that of second-tier cities is 315 million, and that of third-tier cities is 477 million.

A total of 900 million, of which less than half have a mild desire to chase stars, that is 400 million.

The number of moderate to heavy star chasers can be cut in half to 200 million.

Oh, no, the current conditions are too bad. The economy is bad, the environment is bad, and the convenience is poor. Maybe the price will have to be cut to 100 million?
Fang Xinghe wasn't so sure.

In short, with such a small scale, it has to be divided up by various groups from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and the mainland. It is conceivable how difficult it is to go the route of traffic in this era.

Fang Xinghe alone ate at least one-fifth of the female fans' plate!

Level 1 floating fans correspond to "general attention to light star chasing", Level 2 core fans correspond to "light to moderate", Level 3 die-hard fans correspond to "moderate to heavy", and Level 4 crazy fans must be heavy star chasing.

Fang Xinghe alone has 23.7 medium to heavy fans.

This is a very scary number, basically unique in the current domestic entertainment industry.

Due to the lack of modeling tools at hand, he could only guess blindly - based on the current level of information coverage and the high threshold of literature itself, the conversion rate was definitely maxed out by himself.

The most direct meaning is...the new book will definitely be a hit.

Under such strong external pressure, as long as the Level 2 core fans have the most basic economic conditions, they will definitely buy it.

Not to mention level 3 and 4 powder, it is a must buy.

So if we use the new book as a symbolic signal, the sales volume should be 120 million basic sales + purchases by floating fans + purchases out of curiosity by non-fans.

The number of floating fans is really too huge, and the curiosity of non-fans is gradually being aroused.

So, first release… 300 million copies?

My goodness, if this can really be done, it won’t be a nuclear bomb, but a falling galaxy.

Triple Door, which made Han Han a top literary idol, had only one million legitimate sales in that year. Adding his dropping out of school, the Han Han phenomenon was created.

And now, the Fang Xinghe phenomenon has already occurred. If we add fuel to the fire, God knows what it will become.

In order to reap the full benefits of this wave of dividends, he immediately called President Jin.

"I need to know, how many books can we produce by the time of release if we go all out?"

President Jin spoke up with data: "Your book has 22 sheets. We can coordinate with four large printing plants, all of which use high-speed printing machines that can print 4 sheets per hour. The number of copies shipped per day is mainly limited by the binding line. Well, if we produce at full capacity, we can probably reach 12000 million copies per week. What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just reminding you to prepare for the explosion of production capacity."

Fang Xinghe knew what was going on and spoke in a leisurely tone.

"Judging from the current situation, we have to launch a large satellite..."
