How did I become famous?

After the interview, the young lady went to school, while Liu Mang and his team continued their pre-production work for the film.

Fang, however, found even more leisure time and continued to surf the internet, play games, and look at cosplay girls.

Since it's a parallel world, it's normal that there will be many more games that weren't available in the previous life.

However, the styles are still largely the same, with racing, shooting, sports, RPG, and action games still dominating the single-player game market.

But just as he received a gold medal in a game and was planning to relax by looking at cosplayers, someone sent him a private message on Weibo.

Fang Bie thought it would be the same as before, either scolding him or expressing agreement, but when he clicked on it, he found that it was a little different from what he expected.

"Such a thing exists?"

He scratched his cheek, intrigued.

This private message was for someone to write a sponsored article criticizing someone, with a direct price of 30,000 yuan.

That's not the key point; the key point is that the target of the attack is himself.

That's what makes things interesting.

"I'm making fun of myself, season 2"?

It doesn't seem like it's impossible, and you even get paid for it.

Most importantly, the other party said that they should target Fang Bie personally to criticize him.

After all, nobody knows what his second movie is about; all people know is that it will be a big-budget art film.

Therefore, we should focus on criticizing others.

But who is the person who is criticizing them?

Fang thought for a moment about the movies that might be released around the same time as his.

Could it be Wu Kai again?

That's impossible; he knows it's his alternate account.

Who else could it be?

Never mind, it's not an important thing anyway.

It's interesting to think that the entertainment industry and the sports industry are different after all.

In the entertainment industry, if someone has a lot of negative press, then there will be more people who criticize them than fans. They might even be completely destroyed and unable to recover. When people hear that someone's work is theirs, their first reaction is not to watch it.

For example, if someone prefers foreign girl groups to other things, many people will stop reading his books.

For example, those who cheated have mostly moved behind the scenes.

Needless to say, those who smoked that stuff deserved it.

The sports world, however, is quite the opposite.

If a sports star has a scandal, even one involving marital infidelity or discrimination against fans, as long as their performance is not bad, there will always be more people defending them than criticizing them.

Before long, sports fans will "forget" about this until his next scandal is exposed.

They put it nicely: I just like his game and his skill; what kind of person he is has nothing to do with me.

But is it really unrelated?

What is the essence of sports?

Faster! Higher! Stronger!

The pursuit of the limits of human capability!

Its meaning should be positive and uplifting, which is why we call outstanding athletes "idols".

"Idols" are objects of imitation and worship, and they should bring positive meaning.

Forget it, what does this have to do with me... Fang Bie rubbed his hair.

Ok?

Fang Bie's eyes sharpened.

Exactly! Since attacking my movie is pointless, I might as well attack myself!

If the audience thinks I have character flaws, they will naturally boycott my work!

If the movie really flops, the impact on Liu Mang and his team will be smaller, and some viewers might even feel sorry for them and hope they leave my team for a better place soon!

Fang Bie, you're a true genius!

No... He glanced at the private message.

The other person is a genius!

To kill someone is to destroy their spirit; this person has absolutely no intention of leaving themselves a way out in the film and television industry!

They're one of us!

Anyway, I don't plan to stay in the film industry after this movie. It would be nice to go back to being an ordinary person. A street of shops and an entire residential building—that's a life that surpasses that of 80% of ordinary people.

Rather than disappointing them later when his talent has run dry, it's better to get away now.

In this way, everyone will have a bright future, and they will no longer have any expectations for themselves.

We're all from different worlds to begin with. The past six months in the film and television industry have been surreal enough; there's no need for it to end in tragedy.

So Fang wrote a lengthy exposé of his own incriminating information and planned to send it over.

But when it came time to send, he hesitated...

He recalled the tired yet spirited look on Liu Mang's face during the meeting.

The words the young lady had spoken to him that night flashed through his mind.

He recalled the New Year's Eve of his birthday, the young lady's happy smile in the heavy snow.

I lit a cigarette that I hadn't touched in a long time, and took out the Zippo lighter my dad had left me.

The bright yellow flame flickered, turning the end of the cigarette scarlet.

Amidst the rising smoke, Fang Bie pressed send.

Liu Mang and his team have made a comeback in the film and television industry with "Captain China," and they will have even better development prospects at Su Film, a subsidiary of the Su Group.

The young lady has already had her fill of this "playing house" game of making movies. Sooner or later, she'll get tired of it, and going back to inherit her family's vast fortune is the best choice for her.

She's still young; she'll understand later.

He took his money and house back to his hometown, went on blind dates to find an ordinary girl who liked him, and took on freelance painting jobs in his spare time.

This result is actually quite good.

but......

Forget it.

Fang made a decision, though he didn't know why, but he felt quite unhappy about it.

Perhaps it's because I've spent so much time with everyone that I've developed some feelings for them?

Maybe.

............

Meanwhile, Xu Kuangfu's assistant, Xiao Ye, had already received Fang Bie's manuscript.

He took the notebook to Xu Kuangfu for a look.

Xu Kuangfu finished reading the manuscript in five minutes.

Then he put on his glasses, squinted, and started looking at it carefully from the beginning.

Half an hour later, he took off his glasses and exclaimed, "This person is definitely a master; he's probably an imposter for some famous reporter in the industry."

Otherwise, how could they create something out of nothing and make it look so convincing?

The negative aspects of his manuscript were so convincing that even Xu Kuangfu felt convinced after reading it, as if Fang Bie really was that kind of person.

Moreover, he used a lot of words like "I guess", "maybe", "estimate", and "probably" in his manuscript.

Even if they don't cause trouble later, the other party won't have to bear much responsibility.

This "Great Onmyoji - The Strongest Paramecium" is truly a talent!

The assistant, Xiao Ye, pushed up her glasses and smiled, "Director Xu, shall I transfer the remaining payment then?"

Before the draft was even completed, he had already added Fang Bie's alternate WeChat account, and then transferred the 10,000 yuan deposit via WeChat.

"Wait a minute," Xu Kuangfu said, "Take another 20,000 from me. This manuscript... you can give him 50,000."

Such an excellent smear article deserves far too little at 30,000 yuan.

Xu Kuangfu was not a stingy person.

Because it wasn't his own money that was being spent...

"Oh, and remember to include it in the budget for the next movie."

Anyway, his next art film is a youth-themed film, about the love and hate between high school students, and it's themed "Our Youth".

Just hiring young, handsome male and popular female celebrities has already cost 120 million yuan of the 150 million yuan budget.

This paltry fifty thousand yuan can be easily pocketed under any pretext.

For example, a boxed lunch costs six yuan, but the bill says twenty yuan.

That's quite a lot of money.

Everyone makes movies like this now, so he thinks it's normal.

Anyway, as long as the traffic is there, fans will always be willing to spend money.

"I'll take care of it right away." Xiao Ye nodded, picked up her laptop, and left Xu Kuangfu's office.

Xu Kuangfu took out a cigarette, lit it, and laughed: "Fang Bie, Fang Bie, let's see how you turn things around now."

So what if there's no concrete evidence?

The internet is the easiest place to stir up trouble. Once Fang Bie is heavily smeared, the price he will have to pay to make a comeback will be several times that of the people who attacked him.

and......

"If I beat you in this movie, you'll never have a chance to recover."

He already had no say in the film and television industry, and once his reputation is gone, what will he have left?

............

Outside, after transferring the final payment to Fang Bie and agreeing to publish the article in half a month, Xiao Ye kept a copy of the evidence for herself.

"Director Xu, everyone looks out for themselves, I hope you don't fail."

He had made two preparations: if Xu Kuangfu successfully defeated Fang Bie, then the matter would be over.

But what if Fang wins...?

I believe that the Speed ​​Shadow behind Fang Bie will be very happy to have this evidence, and they will not treat themselves unfairly.

Xiao Ye pushed up her glasses and smiled silently.

P.S.: Starting today, I'll be writing in seclusion, closing the group chat, and trying to build up a backlog of drafts.
