Huayu after the system left

..........

Next came a series of introductions from investors eager to enter the market.

Zhou Yang was getting sleepy listening to this.

After Brother Wang finished speaking.

He asked, somewhat surprised, "Don't you have any ideas for cultural and tourism development in those places? Especially those locations that have already been finalized—didn't we already communicate with the local authorities?"

"Kid, you still don't understand most officials. They have no problem going to the local area to take pictures, and they will even fully cooperate, because it is a political achievement that can boost the tourism industry."

But investing in films is extremely risky, practically gambling. Even if one has such thoughts, one dares not reveal them at all, as it would be tantamount to giving up one's political future.

"What about the remaining officials?"

"They would not hesitate to give up their political future unless it could bring great benefits to the local people, but clearly film investment is not one of them."

"Well, I thought they would all disregard everything else for the sake of GDP during their terms."

Upon hearing this...

Brother Wang also understood why Zhou Yang said that the "Ethics Committee" couldn't be written too quickly.

At first glance, it appears to be a congratulatory message.

But now, it's not hard to guess its core message just from the name: it's definitely pointing fingers and criticizing the lack of morality in today's society.

Thinking about this gave him a headache, and he could only say helplessly, "Then let's not write the sequel to 'The Morality Committee' for now, and focus on 'The Story of the Enforcement Hall' first."

Are you sure?

"Isn't it just criticizing the Manchu Qing dynasty? The cannibalistic demons and mixed-race bastards mentioned refer to the Eight Banners and bondservants. Am I misunderstanding something?"

"That's true."

"Wait, what is the core principle?"

Zhou Yang raised an eyebrow, then slowly uttered four words.

"The Gongyang School"

"Depend on!"

Brother Wang couldn't help himself.

The noise was so loud that it attracted the attention of Liu Shishi and Liu Manting, who were in the distance.

I saw the two of them put down their scripts and walk towards me.

Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Otherwise, I would have finished at least one book by now."

"That would be best. Show me the new chapters before you publish them in the future."

"What, do we need to review the manuscript?"

"Now I know how dangerous these two books are. They're like two nuclear bombs under construction. At the very least, I should add an extra layer of security for you."

"Fine, I'm not going to change it anyway."

"You little rascal, sigh, I should have known better than to take this job in the first place. It's a real headache."

Just then, two women walked over.

Hearing this, Liu Manting raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong? Did you have an argument?"

Brother Wang snorted.

However, he did not reveal it directly because Liu Shishi was present.

Zhou Yang smiled and said, "I just want to add a clause to the contract."

"What?"

"If the intention is to interfere with the creative process, then the party responsible for the project's failure shall bear all the losses."

"Isn't this condition redundant? There are so many people in China waiting to see the results of your three special effects companies, and even many people abroad are looking forward to it. Under these circumstances, even if it's terrible, it will still have a good box office."

"But what if I announce that I didn't use the technology from those three visual effects companies?"

"what?"

Liu Manting was dumbfounded.

But then I realized that Zhou Yang's personality actually made him capable of doing such a thing.

After thinking for a moment, he offered some advice, "There's no need to take things this far. Think about it, the investors are all experienced professionals, and it's normal for them to offer suggestions in order to make more money."

"I didn't beg them to invest. Besides, given the current situation, there are plenty of other investors who would like to invest if they don't."

Liu Manting was completely at a loss for words, so she turned to her husband and said, "See? You've taught him how to deal with capital properly, but in the end, you're the one who's suffering."

Upon hearing this, Brother Wang simply shook his head with a wry smile.

Thinking to myself, what's a little trouble? I'm going to watch this kid create two propaganda nuclear bombs, which is exactly the kind of weapon that a certain faction desperately needs.

Now that they have made brief contact, it is impossible to stop them; the only option is to delay as much as possible.

Therefore.

We need to allow Zhou Yang to focus his energy on other things and reduce his creative time as much as possible.

Thinking of this.

Brother Wang then said, "It's nothing, just some minor issues. In investing, whoever takes the initiative is at a disadvantage."

"Alright." Liu Manting nodded. "Then let's talk about the script. I really didn't realize before that the demonic sect in 'Zhu Xian' is so similar to that one. Do you think the author did it on purpose?"

"It shouldn't be, after all, the core purpose is Zhang Xiaofan's personal growth, and not everyone can understand something else like our great writer."

The voice just fell.

Zhou Yang, who was standing to the side, said casually, "You don't understand. How could such a crucial point as the Demonic Sect not be carefully crafted during the creation process?"

Liu Manting immediately retorted, "Tch, you always say others over-interpret things, how come you're doing it yourself? Xiao Ding never said that the Demonic Sect had a prototype."

Would Li Bai admit to faking being drunk? Too many coincidences make it no longer a coincidence.

"this...."

"Sister-in-law, don't be like those textual critics in 'Dream of the Red Chamber,' who know the truth but stubbornly refuse to admit it."

"Get lost, don't equate me with those scumbags."

Upon hearing this...

Liu Shishi, who was already somewhat confused, became even more baffled.

Does the Demonic Cult have a real-world counterpart?

How could a place be so bad?

besides?

Why would my sister-in-law say that the scholars who study the textual criticism of Dream of the Red Chamber are scum?

What is all this?

Therefore.

After Brother Wang and his wife left.

Liu Shishi immediately asked fiercely, "You brat, explain yourself right now!"

"Explain what?"

"This is the prototype of the Demonic Cult, and it explains why the scholars who study the Dream of the Red Chamber are scum."

"Are you sure you want to know? I'm afraid you'll regret it after you hear it."

"Absolutely not."

Looking at Liu Shishi's confident appearance.

Zhou Yang thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "Alright, go and call Ranran out. I'll show you the real world that's shrouded in mystery."

"That sounds exaggerated. Wait, I'll go check if she's finished her homework."

the other side.

Brother Wang also finished explaining the core themes of Zhou Yang's two novels to his wife.

Liu Manting was stunned for a long time before she spoke, "Then why are you letting him contact the military? Aren't you afraid that those people will get in touch with him?"

"I can't stop the military from wanting the technology, can I? I'm just glad that at least the two sides haven't reached an agreement yet. Besides, I didn't know before either. Now I'm trying to find a solution, aren't I?"

"These people are really something, especially Zhou Yang. He clearly idolizes the teacher so much, but why can't he think about what's on Tiananmen Square?"

Brother Wang shook his head. "Zhou Yang often says that the people must first be human beings. Isn't it clear from his attitude towards those humanoid creatures in his works? This kid really doesn't regard barbarians as human beings."

"This hasn't formed a complete theoretical system yet."

"Not yet, but it shouldn't be too far from being completed."

"What do you mean?"

"I only realized today that Zhou Yang has a very deep understanding of Taoist thought. It's incredibly easy for someone like him to perfect a theory. Didn't you see how quickly he mastered those methods?"

"What should we do then?"

"What else can we do but try to distract him and prevent him from having time to think deeply?"

"All right."
