The reports of the dialogue with the master were deliberately downplayed in mainstream media.

Most reports were vague, only emphasizing "exchange," "clash," and "consensus."

But in this era of accelerated information flow, everyone who needed to know already knows.

A "secretly filmed" video with a hidden angle and poor image quality, but clear sound, has begun to circulate quietly on major video websites and forums.

The paperclip's feeble defense of "The Sin," Shen Shandeng's blunt rebuke of "Art your mother's head," and the thunderous cheers from the audience—all of these have been preserved.

The website frantically deleted files, and netizens rushed to re-upload them, relaying the task to each other.

"Holy crap! Shen Shandeng is too fierce! He slapped Paperclip's face so hard it was swollen!"

"That makes sense. I felt uncomfortable watching that movie 'The Sin,' and now I understand why!"

"This is the backbone a Chinese director should have! Support Director Shen!"

The office of the chairman of China Film Group Corporation.

After listening to Liao Yun's detailed report, Han Sanping remained silent for a long time.

Even if I had expected it, it's still a bit of a shock.

"This kid is not just strong, he's downright ruthless."

Liao Yun nodded obediently, her mind clearly having been greatly impacted.

This is an internationally renowned director; they've completely exposed his true colors.

A person's reputation matters; even if the person is still alive, their reputation may be gone.

Han Sanping couldn't help but recall what Shen Shandeng had once said: "I dealt with him not to deal with him, but to clarify the distorted narrative."

It was done. It was indeed done.

Not only did they win, they won spectacularly.

It completely shattered the myth of the paperclip without making the organizers, Beijing Film Academy, and other parties too embarrassed.

Their fighting skills are simply unlike those of people in the arts and entertainment industry.
Han Sanping quickly shook his head; he had recently developed a habit of belittling others.

Is this good?
This is not good!
However, Han Sanping still dialed Shen Shandeng's number.

"Xiao Deng," Han Sanping said, unable to hide his smile, "You did a great job with the Beijing Film Academy! Absolutely a great job!"

The other end.

Shen Shandeng waved his hands repeatedly, saying modestly, "Factory Director, you flatter me. It was all forced upon us. Speaking of which, you are the one who has had it really tough."

"After this experience, I understand your difficulties even more. It's hard to find a normal person."

“Compared to that small group of artists who are even worse than traitors, Wu Yusen and Chen Kexin are quite good.”

Han Sanping: "."

That's a good point, but it's hard to respond to.

Han Sanping said with a complicated expression, "These people have made contributions in the past, but their thinking may not be keeping up with the development now."

Shen Shandeng then revealed his next plan, smiling as he said, "I understand. So, I plan to retire gracefully, remain silent in the media for a while, and fully focus on the preparation and production of new projects."

"It also gives some people a breather. The pressure is too great, and it would be bad if they were driven to desperation."

Han Sanping instinctively sensed something was wrong: "What are you up to, kid? Which new project are you talking about?"

He knew Shen Shandeng too well; every step that kid took was carefully planned.

Could it be that Shen Shandeng's comedy project is more important than he thinks?
Shen Shandeng felt wronged. Why didn't anyone believe him when he told the truth?
"I just wanted to focus on my creative work. I was already in seclusion, but I couldn't refuse their kind invitation, so I had a chat with them. Who would have thought that Paperclip would go off-topic and get criticized?"

Shen Shandeng felt wronged!
"If you need any support from China Film Group, just let us know!"

Han Sanping did not delve any further into the matter, but he had already made up his mind.

After hanging up the phone, he instructed his secretary: "Keep a close eye on the progress of the comedy project over there, and look for legitimate and reasonable opportunities to get involved."

Chen Daoming and his friends had a get-together.

"Old Chen, have you heard? Paperclip pulled on the spot." Zhang Guoli lowered his voice.

When this was brought up, Chen Daoming wasn't too surprised.
"The struggle for the right to speak is sometimes a one-way street. Giving in is like handing the knife to the opponent."

Chen Daoming offered his confident commentary, citing examples of Zhu Houcong and Yang Tinghe's Great Rites Controversy.

Zhang Guoli and other old friends listened with complete admiration: "Wow, Lao Chen, your level of knowledge is truly impressive." Chen Daoming smiled without saying a word.

the other side.

Compared to Shen Shandeng's side, those who had grudges against him were in a real mess.

Chen Kexin is feeling anxious about the film's release.

If he loses more than 200 million yuan, how will he survive in the future?
What if a movie fails?
China Film Group did not skimp on the publicity and distribution that it should have provided. Is it China Film Group's fault or Shen Shandeng's?

Chen Kexin was scared. If he had known he couldn't drag China Film Group into this mess, he would never have let Jet Li play a dramatic role!

Without China Film Group's backing, can the quality of the film alone be enough?
On the set of "Red Cliff," John Woo wasn't quite as desperate, but things weren't much better.

Wu Yusen had extremely mixed feelings upon hearing the news.

While feeling a sense of sorrow for the fallen, there was also a strange sense of superiority.

He's someone who reached the pinnacle in Hollywood, so he's definitely different from art-house directors like Paperclip and local nouveau riche like Shen Shandeng.

That was all he could do to comfort himself.

“I followed the rules, and no one can find fault with me.”

While undercurrents were swirling outside, Shen Shandeng had already quietly withdrawn.

He devoted all his energy to the preparation of his new project, "Lost in Thailand".

Comedy was a completely new battlefield for him.

He enjoys the feeling of challenging the unknown.

Ma Youde, knowing Shen Shandeng's focus, reported: "News about the project has been leaked through some unknown channel. Boss, my phone has been ringing off the hook."

Shen Shandeng today is no longer the same person he was before.

"The Eunuch" topped the box office charts in film history, breaking the monopoly of foreign films and making him a synonym for turning lead into gold.

What makes countless actors, especially actresses, even more fascinated is that Shim Sun-dung's camera can uncover the most beautiful side of an actor that they themselves have never discovered.

The main roles for projects such as "Jiajing" have been decided, and the competition is fierce.

As Shen Shandeng's first attempt at comedy, "Lost in Thailand" faced relatively little competition, according to many.

Suddenly, all sorts of people were using their connections to solicit favors, and phone calls and text messages poured in.

Shen Shandeng also had a headache.

It wasn't just Ma Youde; his side was even more blatant.

Some people sent him photos that were not suitable for public display.

What is this going to do?
Did they sexually harass him?
Are you trying to take advantage of him?
"It looks like 'Lost in Thailand' is coming soon."

Shen Shandeng made up his mind; he couldn't delay any longer: "I plan to start production in February, at full speed!"

"We're going to be busy again this Chinese New Year. We need to work on the morale of the team and distribute triple or quadruple salaries to them."

Shen Shandeng was extremely clear-headed.

Comedies like "Lost in Thailand" are down-to-earth and different from historical epics that require repeated deliberation.

No need for auditions; it's more important that the character's temperament matches your own.

With the original version already in mind, Shen Shandeng had a general idea of ​​who to choose.

The main reason is that I don't want to get caught up in endless disputes over favors and the potential for conflict.

He might be able to have good fortune in both sides and enjoy the blessings of having multiple wives, but Shen Shandeng is at the age where he needs to work hard.

Moreover, Shen Shandeng is always uneasy about Lao Deng's side. Recently, Zhang Nengshou, the production director of China Film Group, seems to be secretly inquiring about "Lost in..."

Fan Bingbing called, and Ma Youde accepted the order and left.

"Director Shen, could you perhaps give some guidance to your comedy project?"

Fan Bingbing has always been straightforward.
