Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 708 He should thank me! (13)

The term "giant baby mentality" refers to the psychological phenomenon where an adult's psychological development lags behind, and their emotions and behavioral patterns remain at the infant stage.

Characteristics exhibited include: narcissism, believing oneself to be the best; paranoia and schizophrenia: low tolerance for setbacks, often falling into extreme black-and-white thinking, prone to emotional outbursts and blaming external factors.

How did it form?

The influence of one's family of origin: Overindulgence or over-protection by parents deprives individuals of opportunities for independent growth!
It pushed him to a height that wasn't his own...

Lu Chuan... is a perfect example!
A representative figure of the "second generation of artists" with a family tradition of learning.

The timing of his release coincided with the painful transition period of the film studio system and also with a period when the huge Chinese film market lacked film directors.

At this stage, audiences had extremely limited movie choices and virtually no movie-watching experience. So, back then, any movie that could be released, as long as it wasn't too outrageous, could almost guarantee both fame and fortune!

Therefore, compared to the next generation of film directors, the film directors of this period actually did not experience sufficient market competition. Instead, they were spoiled by the times. When their films were not recognized by the audience, they thought it was because the audience had low taste. When they saw the works of film professionals who came later, they were full of sour grapes.

With a large group of sycophants around him, he would naturally affirm and support him, and he would naturally feel that he was right!
Of the three films, "Never Say Die" received the best reviews...

But comedies... well, big directors usually don't care about them!

The contempt and disdain these people hold for Happy Twist films reflects the common stance of these academic filmmakers.

The film "Man Jiang Hong," nominated for the Hundred Flowers Awards, skipped over Shen Teng, the male lead who was the main box office draw, and nominated a male supporting actor who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama.

There's a famous saying: "The dominance of low-quality, alkaline comedies by Mahua FunAge in the Chinese film market is a tragedy for culture."

Look, people are always talking about the tragedy of Chinese cinema and the tragedy of Chinese culture...

He acted like a complete expert or professor…

Do you think they are Celestial Dragons, openly going against the aesthetic preferences of the general audience?
It's really not...

Their circle is very small, and they have no contact with the average audience...

He has been very successful in the literary circle for many years, participating in writers' conferences, group field trips, professional seminars, and works appreciation meetings. He has secured literary space through manuscript exchanges and internal recommendations, and has a prolific body of work and a distinguished reputation.

They could live like this forever without the internet!
However, the arrival of the internet has reversed the public opinion landscape controlled by the system, and the effect of public opinion is now having a counter-effect on the traditional arts and culture circles.

Whether a movie is good or bad is not up to you insiders to decide.

Especially commercial films!
Will Lu Chuan care about these things?
Would he think it's because he's not good enough?
Definitely not...

He firmly rejected all criticism and education, and firmly believed that those who said he was bad were just trying to stir up trouble and smear him!
As for Shen Yan: At first I thought he was bad, then I thought he was probably just stupid, and now I think I have a minimum of humanitarian pity for him because he has been challenged in his mental state and cognitive abilities for a long time...

A kind of animal rights pity for idiots—purely pathetic!

For example, you could ask him to make a film based on the Nezha storyline from the "Demon Child" series.

The plot goes something like this: Nezha never wanted to change his identity, only feeling that his biological parents had wronged him, until he stepped on his senior sister's skirt and saw her beautiful legs, he suddenly realized how wonderful the world was and that he had to keep striving for improvement...

Then, within the distorted love triangle between him, his senior sister, and his senior brother, he constantly awakens, gives up, awakens, and gives up;
Master has passed away; he was chatting with his senior sister.

His parents died, he was arguing with his senior sister, and in the end, his senior sister died before his eyes to "save the world." He suddenly yelled, "I quit!" and then punched the villain to pieces...

In the end, he, his senior sister, and his senior brother embrace in a scene reminiscent of a scene from a classic Chinese novel, leading to an ending that left everyone baffled...

"Ne Zha" (or "Ne Zha")
……

The crew of "Detective Chinatown" has welcomed Allen and Qiao Shan. Their scenes will be filmed first...

Allen is in trouble—in the storyline, Tang Ren is proficient in the Mo Family Fist. The Mo Family Fist specializes in attacking the lower body.

However, the Mo family boxing style is also a legitimate martial art. There is a saying: "The fist moves like a tiger, the kicks are like a dragon. The body is agile and the steps are energetic, with both long and short power."

Tang Ren extracted the essence and condensed it into three moves: "groin strike, throat lock, and eye gouging"...

The camera focuses on the alleyway, where Allen, Xiao Shenyang, and Qiao Shan have cornered Wang Baoqiang and Shen Yan…

Then came a major battle.

"Southern Mo Family Fist, I concede!"

Xiao Shenyang immediately pulled out a gun: "Admit it, my ass! You're too kind. Get them all locked up!"

"Cut! Okay, that's a wrap. Let's take a break and then move on to another scene!"

Chen Sicheng was very satisfied, and then the actors all went to eat fruit...

Thailand has so many kinds of fruit!

Shen Yan really likes to eat mangosteen and jackfruit...

Allen then chatted with Wei Xiang, Qiao Shan, and Xiao Shenyang.

"I'm truly impressed; he actually thinks very few people have read the 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' novel..."

Shen Yan asked curiously, "What?"

"Lu Chuan said that not many people have read 'Ghost Blows Out the Light'..."

Uh, because of Shen Yan's Weibo post, "Lu Chuan should apologize to Tianxia Bachang," this sentence became a trending topic...

Lu Chuan then responded: "My work on this film, the adaptation and creation of this IP, will help the book's reputation grow, not diminish. So objectively speaking, he should thank me."

Ok…

Very assertive!
Sigh, so Lu Chuan really doesn't know anything...

He didn't even realize the influence of the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" IP, and then he took on this role...

The official sales of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" books have exceeded 13 million copies, and with pirated copies and online reading, the total number of readers is at least over 300 million!
It's not the kind of novel your dad writes!
Shen Yan shook his head: "So, I'm almost too lazy to argue with him anymore... He's just a complete idiot!"

Allen interjected, "We at 'Never Say Die' weren't targeting him... Why does he always feel like we're smearing him?"

"He thinks he's something special, like the whole world is against him..." After a pause, Shen Yan added, "They have so-called big data reports, also called public opinion monitoring reports... Don't look at this kind of big data. If someone who's not in their right mind looks at it, they'll say that everyone who gives a bad review is stirring up trouble and smearing him... and they'll also take the online trolls they hired as real reviews!"

"what?"

"Because the people around you will definitely praise you to please them. Even if the movie isn't good, they'll find other angles, like praising your hard work or the budget for the film. In short, they'll try to say as many nice things as possible..."

Xiao Shenyang asked curiously, "Is no one telling the truth?"

"Anyone who dared to speak the truth has been fired."

Qiao Shan: "So this time, if you slap him in the face... will he realize his mistake?"

Shen Yan waved his hand: "Impossible. He would gather a bunch of 'authorities' in the film industry to hold a seminar and help him out... Even if the police investigation shows that no one is smearing him, he won't believe it... That's called living in an information cocoon he's woven himself!"
