The only sun in Huayu

Chapter 52 Firewall (34)

Yu Jianhong originally wanted to remind the students not to only see the negative, but also to see the positive.

It is also a way to show the teacher's care.

Okay, actually I feel a little bitter inside.

Shen Shandeng is clearly his successor, is Han Sanping trying to steal him? Even if he tries to steal him, shouldn't he at least ask him in advance?
To everyone's surprise, Shen Shandeng remained unmoved and optimistic, completely unaffected by public opinion, and focused on filming.

This mindset is incredible!
"Don't worry, I'll organize more people to handle the professional academic debates. We definitely won't let anyone bully you."

Yu Jianhong strongly supported it.

Who says management majors can't compete with directing majors?
Let alone the sixth generation of directors, even the fifth generation, in terms of academic ability alone, he could easily crush them.

These academic directors are all focused on the "techniques," and they're only good at talking about composition, editing, color tone, sound and image relationships, and camera movement.

In terms of "direction," it's a complete mess, even worse than the literature department.

Literature majors at least know how to use technical jargon, weaving terms into terms, and they can fool a few people.

But it's just a charade. First, they elevate it to the metaphysical realm. Those with a bit of sincerity might invent a few terms like "commercial attributes," "intersubjectivity," and "discourse violence"—terms that sound plausible. But if they're too lazy, they simply use existing theoretical terms and frameworks.

In contrast, the management department's ability to connect with film practice at the bottom and with the film industry at the top is truly logical and well-founded!
What the management department lacks is insider resources.

At this rate, this disciple is very likely to carve out a niche for himself in the management field.

With this weakness addressed, the Management Department might actually be able to compete with the Directing Department.
Tsk tsk.

Yu Jianhong feels very motivated when she thinks about the future.

He wasn't doing it for personal advancement; he just felt he wanted to contribute to Chinese cinema!
Shen Shandeng expressed his gratitude to the teacher.

The teacher also helped with the previous industry debates.

He is now surrounded by friends, as the saying goes, "Those who are virtuous will find many helpers."

hang up the phone.

Shen Shandeng did not take it lightly; on the contrary, he attached great importance to it and summoned Ma Youde.

To some, he was like a bison that had broken into a china shop, someone they wanted to get rid of as quickly as possible.

After all, media opinion, academic criticism, and industry veterans like Tian Lili have created a synergy.

Shen Shandeng didn't believe it was just a coincidence.

Shen Shandeng thought about it. After the launch ceremony a few months ago, there were similar collaborations, but there was no heavyweight figure like Tian Lili who directly exerted pressure.

If it were a true newcomer to the industry, they would probably be in self-doubt by now.

However, Shen Shandeng had been reborn and had witnessed similar situations before.

Even if it's a coincidence, it should be treated as intentional.

Otherwise, if the balance of power shifts, he will be put on the defensive.

Fortunately, Shen Shandeng also has supporters.

Support from Han Sanping will make those with industrial influence think twice before taking action.

Yu Jianhong's support gave him professional support and a voice in his defense.

The rest is about public opinion.

the next day.

Ma Youde bid farewell to his wife and daughter, promising to bring toys for his daughter, and then flew directly to the film set.

Holding his little notebook, he looked full of confidence and high spirits.

Ma Youde is always ready.

I'm just waiting to show off in front of the boss!
Anyone can see that the boss is on the verge of taking off!

As the old saying goes, saving a king's life is worse than the merit of following a dragon.

He, Ma Youde, wants them all!
You must not only have the merit of "following the dragon's lead", but also protect the boss!

Ma Youde first introduced the current public opinion situation.

"Hong Kong media, including professional media, are sometimes alarmed by the boss's ambitions, with a mix of vigilance and reflection. But many more are complacent and focused on entertainment gossip."

In reality, the Hong Kong entertainment circle dismisses these pessimistic predictions with disdain, but that's certainly not the right way to put it; emotional intelligence is essential.

Ma Youde continued, "In the mainland, the industry and media are deeply shocked, new forces are supporting it, the old order is facing a strong challenge, and undercurrents of division and change are surging."

"Entertainment media went into a frenzy of reporting, with a massive amount of trending topics continuing to ferment, bringing huge popularity to the 'Supervisor' project and its boss, placing it at the absolute center of public opinion."

"Most importantly, audience expectations were completely ignited. They showed great enthusiasm for the boss's inspiring background and his promise to make a good film for the audience, resulting in a surge of support." "The boss's all-star lineup was visionary. The participation of their favorite stars also helped control the buzz surrounding the film."

"The boss's fans are also feeling proud! The boss's personal image is that of a truly up-and-coming director. The boss's tragic and ambitious nature has not only gained his original fans, but also many career fans and film enthusiasts because of his sunny and stubborn white T-shirt image. They are all bursting with pride!"

Shen Shandeng listened and nodded.

As long as the publicity and explanation are done well, the audience will have discerning eyes.

I noticed his sunny and inspiring heroic nature.

In his report, Ma Youde subtly added his own achievements.

From the previous launch ceremony to the recent opening ceremony, he has been living at the company.

There are also situations involving media manipulation and fighting against foreign cyber armies.

“I asked a friend to expose several network nodes on the other side and obtained some information on internet commentators. It turns out they were sent to cause trouble here from prison.”

Shen Shandeng was surprised.

He thought it would be ten years before it happened, but it's already here.

Moreover, online commentators and sewing machine operators are actually the reality on the other side.

In his past life, he was puzzled as to where this kind of meme came from.

The prison here is under closed management, and the labor reform by operating sewing machines is real.

But if something goes wrong after connecting with the internet and society, who will be responsible?

Ma Youde observed Shen Shandeng's expression and saw how shocked he was. He remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

"Should we hand it over to the relevant authorities?" Ma Youde asked.

"Make sure to save it properly." Shen Shandeng shook his head: "Hiding yourself and protecting yourself is the first principle. If you encounter something similar, be sure to use a VPN dial-up device and take good physical protection."

Brush brush!
Ma Youde immediately took notes, indicating that he understood.

Shen Shandeng was very satisfied; Ma Youde was highly capable and had a strong drive to learn.

He deconstructed the divine key techniques of later generations, namely "urgent, classic, filial piety, joy, criticism, clam, moist, hemp, win, sugar," and among the first group of people, Ma Youde learned them the best and used them the best.

Having mastered a few key techniques, they wreaked havoc online.

He has been promoted several times over the years and is now capable of handling things independently.

Shen Shandeng tested his teacher: "We can't just report good news, there's also bad news, like public criticism and academic critique. What do you suggest we do about that?"

Ma Youde knew his opportunity had come and said seriously, "I think we should follow the right path. On the fundamentals, the publicity and distribution of 'The Eunuch' has been a complete success, and the audience's expectations have been aroused."

"We just need to do the distribution honestly, avoid mistakes, and gradually build up the pace. The boss mortgaged his house, Wu Jing went bankrupt, and the actors took pay cuts for the project."

“We have many stories to tell, and they are all positive stories.”

"Then we need to appropriately lower expectations and amplify extreme criticisms to prevent overly high expectations from backfiring after the film's release."

Shen Shandeng thought it sounded familiar, but something was wrong. Ma Youde also started repeating the same thing over and over.

"Didn't I say that before?"

Ma Youde said seriously, "This just shows the boss's wisdom. His methods are not just for temporary use, but can solve many problems."

"OK OK."

After he finished speaking, Shen Shandeng waved his hand modestly; he was not one to flatter.

"Let's do it your way, I'd like to add something."

Ma Youde quickly took notes.

"To mess something up, you just need to execute it several times or ten times more."

"We are making great strides in action, but we can be a little weak in public opinion. It's okay to suffer some losses in order to cover up our actions."

“They’re criticizing me, so I’ll magnify it tenfold or a hundredfold.”

Ma Youde muttered to himself, feeling like he had learned something new.

With firewalls in place, Shen Shandeng threw himself into filmmaking, knowing full well that in the end, the film would speak for itself, and his work would speak for itself.

Retreat!

The production crew has entered a closed-door mode, refusing to accept external interviews and even confiscating mobile phones.

After nine days of filming, the crew of "The Eunuch" got along better and better and began filming the most important action scene in the movie.
