“These examples should be seen by more young people. Only then will everyone understand how difficult this job is. Only then will they know that staying away from drugs is what everyone should do.”
“In that case, why do you think this movie can’t be released?” Elder Zhang asked.
The reviewers did not dare to say anything. They were under Director Liu’s supervision. Who would dare to disobey him?
“Liu Fudong, tell me, why?” Elder Zhang looked at Liu Fudong.
From his tone, Liu Fudong knew that he was here to support Qiao Weiyang.
How could he dare to have any other opinions now that such a big shot was present.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t have enough artistic attainments, so I made a mistake,” Liu Fudong immediately apologized sincerely.
“In that case…”
Before Elder Zhang could finish speaking, Liu Fudong immediately said, “We’ll make the arrangements now!”
Elder Zhang said earnestly, “We have to take into full consideration the balance between artistic and social responsibility for all works. We can’t just cling to one point. The audience, especially the young audience, has long been exposed to things that far exceed our imaginations. It’s not like a little gray matter can affect their worldview. Besides, we have to look at the entire works, not the simple aspects or even the content expressed. What do you think?”
“Elder Zhang, you’re right. I’ve been enlightened,” Liu Fudong said with his head lowered.
After everyone dispersed, Elder Zhang looked at Su Zhuoqian with a smile. “So, you still know to look for me when you encounter something.”
“I’m extremely grateful for your help, Great-grandpa Zhang,” Su Zhuoqian said gently.
“I’m not doing this entirely to help you. I just feel that the sample I watched was worth it. I, Old Zhang, wouldn’t praise a lousy movie.” Elder Zhang looked at Qiao Weiyang with admiration. “To be able to produce such a work, I finally know why our Zhuoqian is so loyal to you.”
“Elder Zhang, you flatter me,” Qiao Weiyang replied softly.
“If I hadn’t stepped out, I wouldn’t have known that the younger generation is getting more and more impressive. This world finally belongs to you young people. Little girl, continue to work hard.”
Elder Zhang walked out with a sigh. He was still healthy, and his assistant immediately followed him.
After Su Zhuoqian and Qiao Weiyang sent Elder Zhang off, Qiao Weiyang reacted. “Is he the founder of the Film Industry Association back then? The person who even the founding elders have to respect?”
“Yes. I happened to recall my friendship with him and sent him the sample movie. I thought that he would find someone to speak up for us. I didn’t expect him to personally appear.”
“I really didn’t expect him to be so healthy at his age. His thoughts are even more agile than young people’s.”
“Pure-minded people might find it easier to stay young.”
Qiao Weiyang was a little curious. “How do you know Elder Zhang?”
“Have you forgotten what my mother does?” Su Zhuoqian asked.
Qiao Weiyang smiled and recalled that Su Bei was also an influential figure in the entertainment industry back then. With her own strength, she won all kinds of awards and nurtured countless newcomers. Her results were outstanding.
It was naturally not difficult for Su Bei to get to know Elder Zhang.
After this matter was resolved, there were no more problems with the review of Stalker.
When the news reached the production team, everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief. Knowing that the work that they had worked so hard to film could finally be released on schedule, everyone was happy.
When Chengyu and Director Cheng heard this, they called Liu Fudong respectively.
Liu Fudong was trembling with fear now. He was afraid that Elder Zhang’s criticism of him would hinder his career path. His tone toward the father and son was very harsh. “I can’t handle this matter anymore. Find someone who can do it.”
Chengyu was a little unhappy to be hung up by him.
Director Cheng had guessed that Su Zhuoqian had most likely pressured Liu Fudong. He did not expect Liu Fudong to be afraid of Su Zhuoqian.
How could Su Zhuoqian interfere in the matters of the Film Industry Association? Liu Fudong was really a coward!
However, even Liu Fudong couldn’t stop Qiao Weiyang, so Director Cheng had no other way to go against Qiao Weiyang.
In other aspects, he was even more helpless.
The only thing Director Cheng could do now was to let Chengyu get back to work as soon as possible.
The Weibo post he had posted previously was still fresh in his mind. The words he had said about Chengyu not working for five years were still vivid in his mind.
If Chengyu returned to work, Director Cheng would lose his dignity as a director.
Therefore, this matter still needed to be discussed slowly.
In the production team…
Mayor Xu and Madam Xu appeared in a low profile manner.
Xu Wangzhi had just finished filming that day. When he saw his parents appear, he was very happy. “Dad, Mom!”
“I’m here to see you.” Madam Xu’s face was filled with heartache. She reached out and held her son’s face. Looking at his completely disfigured face and the scar on it, she couldn’t help but tear up. “You’re so thin?”
“It’s just for my role.” Xu Wangzhi smiled. Only when it was bright could one see his face clearly. “I’ll eat well for a few days after this.”
“How can your body withstand such extremes?” Madam Xu was still worried.
“Mom, I have a nutritionist! Besides, Weiyang is here.”
“The wound on your face…”
“I told you that Weiyang is around.”
Hearing Qiao Weiyang’s name, Madam Xu finally felt relieved.
“Okay, okay. Your father and I came over to treat Weiyang to a good meal. I heard that your injury won’t leave a scar, right?”
“Actually, I’m fine now. Look.” Xu Wangzhi wiped his face ruthlessly.
Brother Tang said, “Madam, the little master’s face recovered last week. This week, we’ve been filming scenes where his character hasn’t been injured. Today, because we had to reshoot some scenes, the little master put on some special effects.”
Madam Xu held her son’s face and looked at it seriously. When she realized that there were really no traces left, she nodded in satisfaction.
Mayor Xu nodded authoritatively. “In that case, we have nothing to worry about.”
Qiao Weiyang and Lu Mingjue received the call and agreed to come over for dinner with Mayor Xu.
The night was dark, and Tao Huan and Lu Mingjue followed Qiao Weiyang.
The three of them entered the hotel lobby.
Xu Wangzhi ran over to welcome them. “Weiyang, my parents are here.”
Director Cheng and Chengyu had just entered the hotel lobby.
When Chengyu saw Qiao Weiyang, he pursed his lips slightly. He knew that Qiao Weiyang was the one who stood up for Xu Wangzhi and had a grudge against her.
“Dad, can I really make a comeback this time?” Chengyu asked.
