This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 337 If sticking to the right path will offend people, then so be it.

In this respect, "A Man of Both Literary and Martial Arts" is far superior to "Nameless River".

This is a conclusion that Lu Ran could draw without even reading the contents of "Nameless River".

A director like Xu Gaomin could never direct something beyond his own comprehension.

How can he convey this idea to the audience through film if he doesn't even believe in it himself?

Many netizens stayed online to browse related news, and marketing accounts were also constantly on the lookout.

The moment Lu Ran posted this Weibo, marketing accounts saw it immediately.

Lu Ran has responded!

"Post a screenshot on Weibo immediately to drive the discussion traffic to us."

"As expected of Lu Ran, he's really going head-to-head with Xu Gaomin."

Thanks to the spread of information by marketing accounts, netizens have also seen Lu Ran's response.

Now, some netizens are starting to have doubts.

"Is Lu Ran really that tough? But isn't this time too short?"

"Never mind whether it's tough or not, I know there are movies to watch. Just like Lu Ran said, you'll know whether it's good or not as soon as you watch it."

"Do you believe Xu Gaomin or Lu Ran? Although Xu Gaomin is quite capable, I believe Lu Ran more. He is more sincere."

"Whether something is good or not isn't something you can just say yourself; it's what the audience judges."

The online discussions have fueled the promotion of "Able to Martial Arts and Literature".

Lu Ran saved on publicity expenses.

From the start of his filming until now, he has basically not spent any money on publicity.

Thanks to the military songs in the beginning and the popularity of "Nameless River", this drama has become widely known.

"Director Xu, you should give the younger generation a chance. You can't make a bad film and then not let the young people have a chance."

It was evening at a private club.

Xu Gaomin and Su Weilun were both in there, along with a few other people from the entertainment industry, and the rest were all women.

Su Weilun put down his phone and smiled at Xu Gaomin, "Lu Ran's drama is finished too."

Xu Gaomin was somewhat surprised: "So fast? Then it seems that this drama won't be very long; it should be a short film."

Su Weilun: "What does Director Xu think?"

Xu Gaomin smiled faintly: "Many people on the internet criticize me, saying that I don't understand that kind of spirit, but do you know why I can still keep making these kinds of dramas?"

Su Weilun adopted a subordinate's posture: "I don't know."

Xu Gaomin's face showed a smug look: "Because I take good pictures. What's the use of understanding that spirit? Those who understand it can't take as good pictures as me. That alone is enough."

Su Weilun immediately flattered him: "That's for sure. There are very few people in China who can make large-scale war films better than Director Xu."

Making movies requires technical skill.

It's not that having a good script guarantees a good film, or that having good actors guarantees a good film.

A truly good drama requires collaboration from multiple parties to ultimately produce a good film or television series.

In terms of directing ability, Xu Gaomin is definitely in the top tier in the country.

In this respect, Lu Ran and Liu Dayong are no match for him.

Su Weilun raised his glass: "Director Xu, let's drink."

The two of them didn't take it to heart.

Meanwhile, at Gao Yuhui's home.

"Good! Good!"

Gao Yuhui sat in his study, staring at the monitor and praising it repeatedly.

He had already read the script before, and now he was actually watching the actual film.

Upon closer inspection, I immediately realized it was something extraordinary.

Film and television dramas use visual language. The type of imagery used to depict a subject can convey different meanings depending on the subject being filmed. Even the same subject can convey different meanings depending on the angle from which it is shot.

Gao Yuhui, who also has a technical background, believes that the filming of this drama was very meticulous.

It's definitely of movie-quality!
"It would be great if this were made into a movie."

Gao Yuhui had this idea in his mind.

However, that's all for later. If it's really going to be made into a movie, then it will need to be edited again.

The most urgent task is to get this show broadcast.

Gao Yuhui packaged the files and sent them to Dou Yong.

He then called Dou Yong directly.

"Mr. Dou, the full version of 'Able to Talk and Fight' is finished. I've sent you a sample video. Please take a look when you have time."

This was something Dou Yong had specifically instructed me to do beforehand.

Once "A Man of Both Literary and Martial Arts" is finished, be sure to send it to him as soon as possible.

Dou Yong's home.

Dou Yong was sitting on the sofa, and a TV series was playing on CCTV-1.

Upon hearing Gao Yuhui's words, Dou Yong's eyes lit up immediately.

He said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll take a look now."

Gao Yuhui: "It's alright, Mr. Dou, you can check it tomorrow."

Dou Yong: "You want the results tomorrow? Okay, I'll read them as soon as possible and give you an answer."

He slowly put down his phone and looked to his right.

His wife was wearing a sexy nightgown, had makeup on, and her hair was styled in an updo.

Now his wife is staring straight at him, her expression like that of a woman confined to her chambers, filled with resentment.

Dou Yong calmly replied, "There's an urgent matter at work that needs to be dealt with."

After saying this, Dou Yong didn't dare to look his wife in the eye and went straight into the study.

After the study door closed, his wife said irritably, "Useless!"

Gao Yuhui was still a little confused.

"Didn't I already say we could look at it tomorrow? What's wrong, Mr. Dou?"

In the study, Dou Yong sat in front of the computer and downloaded a file.

Middle-aged men often find themselves with limited options; work is still the best option.

He can control the speed of his work, but he can't control the speed of his work in bed.

Once the file was downloaded, Dou Yong quickly opened it and began to read it.

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye. Dou Yong had no intention of sleeping with his wife.

When he saw the soldiers sacrifice their lives, tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

This drama doesn't have any intensely emotional scenes; it simply tells the story in a down-to-earth way.

But even as the soldiers fell, tears still flowed uncontrollably.

In the bedroom.

Dou Yong's wife is still awake.

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

"Is he seeing someone else?"

It's said that men who eat their fill outside won't eat at home anymore.

This isn't the first time he's tried to run away.

Once the idea took hold, it could no longer be suppressed. Dou Yong's wife quickly got up, angrily pushed open the study door, and went inside.

"Dou Yong, you better explain yourself!"

As soon as she entered, she saw that Dou Yong's face was streaked with tears and his eyes were full of tears.

Dou Yong's wife immediately softened.

She quickly went up to Dou Yong and hugged him: "Why are you crying alone in the study? If you're not feeling well, you can take medicine. Why are you crying all by yourself?"

Dou Yong was filled with questions.

What do you mean by "if it doesn't work, you can take medicine"? What are you thinking?

Dou Yong burst into laughter through his tears: "I have seen a great drama, a drama that truly reflects the real situation of our army's combat, a drama that truly tells why we fight and why we can win."

Dou Yong's wife's face immediately turned cold.

"All you ever think about is your work. Don't you even check the time? Go to sleep."

Dou Yong is in a great mood now.

"sleep."

The next day, as soon as Dou Yong entered the office building, Hong Yankun quickly followed.

Hong Yankun tentatively asked, "President Dou, Snow Blade and Furious Tiger is now more than halfway through filming. If you have time, why don't you go to the set and give the actors a boost?"

"Snow Blade and Angry Tiger" was a project recommended by Hong Yankun, which was closely related to his position in the center, so he couldn't help but worry about it.

Dou Yong laughed and said, "I've been too busy lately to go. You can go in my place."

Hong Yankun continued, "When will the list of projects supported by our center be officially announced?"

This is Hong Yankun's real purpose.

Once the list is finalized, the publicity and promotion work will officially begin.

When the drama "Snow Blade and Angry Tiger" is given these titles, it will definitely make a lot of money.

Dou Yong glanced at Hong Yankun: "We'll let you know the specific arrangements later."

Dou Yong was fully aware of Hong Yankun's little scheme.

However, since this support project has encountered changes, we must proceed with extreme caution.

Previously, there was no choice but to choose Xu Gaomin. If there were a choice, why would anyone choose Xu Gaomin?

After Dou Yong entered the office, Hong Yankun stood at the office door, somewhat puzzled.

"What's going on? Why has President Dou's attitude changed?"

At this moment, Hong Yankun saw Gao Yuhui walking over with high spirits.

Gao Yuhui greeted him and then said, "Excuse me, I need to speak with President Dou."

Hong Yankun's face instantly turned ugly, as if he had swallowed a fly.

Gao Yuhui actually went straight into Dou Yong's office.

Hong Yankun quickly figured out the reason.

"Lu Ran, it must be because of Lu Ran!"

At 11 o'clock, Lu Ran received a call from Gao Yuhui.

"A Man of Both Literary and Martial Arts" was submitted directly to the Red Star Art and Culture Center for review through a special channel, and the results should be available soon.

Ultimately, this drama is just a short series of only six episodes, so it's quite short.

Gao Yuhui asked, "When do you plan to broadcast it?"

Lu Ran: "Wumingchuan is not released on May 1st. My broadcast time is divided into two parts, around May 1st."

Because it only has six episodes, Lu Ran's plan is to split it into two parts: first, three episodes will be broadcast, and then three episodes will be broadcast.

Gao Yuhui laughed and said, "You little rascal, are you planning to offend Xu Gaomin to the point of death?"

Lu Ran: "If sticking to the right path will offend people, then so be it."

Gao Yuhui was immediately filled with respect.

After talking with Gao Yuhui, Lu Ran saw that Li Quan had sent a message in the Burning Studio group.

"The CCTV Youth Day Gala invited our studio."

The group chat immediately became lively.

It's already April, and there's a Youth Day gala at the beginning of next month.

This gala was much smaller in scale than the Spring Festival Gala, but it still had special significance.

Li Haorui: "Is the front desk taking attendance? Who's going?"

Li Quan: "I ordered, and invited Lu Ran and Wang Jiayue."

Chen Ke then popped up.

"What criteria were used to extend this invitation?"

Li Quan: "I think it's about age. Wang Jiayue and Lu Ran are both in their twenties."

Li Quan didn't say anything more.

Li Haorui silently deleted the word "Congratulations" from the chat box and typed a new line.

"The CCTV headquarters still discriminates against people of all ages. I'm only in my thirties, I'm a young person too!"

Li Quan: "Excuse me, I'm eighteen years old, I'm still a teenager."

In the group chat, everyone shouted in unison, "Get lost!"

In the end, Lu Ran made the decision.

"Since you've invited us, let's go. Don't be sad, Brother Shen, you have other uses for us."
