Chapter 587 Virtue is not worthy of its place
When Huang Jianxin hurried back after receiving the news, he saw that armed police had been standing guard at the gate.
Seeing that there were many people nearby pointing and talking at the armed police guarding the gate, he felt overwhelmed - in this situation, it was probably impossible to block the news.
A famous director was attacked by fanatical fans because of a sex scandal, and the film was an important tribute film. Huang Jianxin knew with his toes that a lot of people would jump out to make irresponsible remarks and point fingers at him.
Fortunately, the staff guarding the gate were still there, so Huang Jianxin quickly proved his identity and entered the filming base.
The usually bustling crew seemed unusually deserted at this moment. It was so quiet that Huang Jianxin could hear Han Sanping's angry roar in the conference room from a distance.
"Isn't the lesson I learned from Wanwan last time enough? Since you've gotten into trouble again, you should have made some preparations in advance, or at least informed me..."
Doesn't he have to report every day?
Huang Jianxin secretly complained in his heart. Through the contact over the past few months, Huang Jianxin had a full understanding of his young partner's ability to cause trouble.
Countless scandals and the most sensitive issue of government establishment have made him dominate the headlines of various media for a long time - it is said that his opponents have gathered together and even supported and expanded a website.
Although he later acquired the website, those people would not disappear out of thin air.
"Director Huang?"
Huang Jianxin was thinking about something outside the door when suddenly a staff member came out holding documents. Seeing him standing outside, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Old Huang is here?"
Han Sanping's voice came out immediately. Huang Jianxin hurriedly walked in and apologized to Han Sanping repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Han, I took a leave at the last minute, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big mess."
"It's okay to ask for leave. Who doesn't have some emergencies?"
Han Sanping tapped his fingers heavily on the table a few times and said unhappily, "The problem now is that the crew's security measures are not in place and there is chaos in management!"
"Yes, yes, this is all our fault."
Huang Jianxin agreed verbally but secretly complained in his heart. This was a filming at a film and television base, not some dangerous area, or a war scene with bullets flying everywhere. It also had nothing to do with historical buildings, cultural relics and monuments. How strict could the security measures be?
You can't apply for special security when shooting ordinary indoor scenes, right? This doesn't comply with national regulations. Even if it's an important tribute film, it's impossible to have 24-hour police protection. You have to apply for it in advance.
Of course, there is definitely reason to file a report now.
If Huang Jianxin read correctly, the document that the staff member just took away was an application for temporary strengthening of official security measures.
At this time, Xu Kun stood up and said, "Boss Han, this has nothing to do with Director Huang. I underestimated the power of that rumor..."
"You must be the first person responsible!"
Han Sanping interrupted Xu Kun and asked impatiently, "Don't you have a net worth of more than 1 billion? As such a big boss, why don't you hire a few bodyguards or something?"
"I'll hire him right away."
In fact, someone had suggested this to Xu Kun before, but he always felt it was inconvenient to have a bodyguard with him, and relying on his good skills, he never considered it.
But now we have to hire a few more.
This time it was a homemade Molotov cocktail, and he could still find a way to deal with it. But what if it’s a gunman who comes directly next time?
Although bodyguards may not be willing to take bullets for you, there is always a difference between having one and not having one.
Han Sanping vented his anger at him again, then grabbed the phone on the table and said, "Go home and reflect on yourself for two days, then write a profound self-criticism and hand it in to the China Film and Film Bureau."
"Don't worry, I will reflect deeply on this!"
Xu Kun and Huang Jianxin hurriedly followed behind to escort them out. When they reached the gate, Han Sanping turned around and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, go back and film with peace of mind. I'll report to the superiors in person and try not to affect the subsequent filming tasks."
When Huang Jianxin heard this, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Xu Kun.
What Han Sanye meant by this was that this incident might affect the subsequent filming, but the filming of "Founding of a Republic" certainly could not be delayed, so the only one who would be affected would be Xu Kun.
Could it be that I have the opportunity to take on the responsibility alone?
Xu Kun also realized this. If this were true, it would definitely be a big blow to his reputation, but who would have let him get into this situation? "No matter what the final result is, it's all my own fault." He said to Han Sanping frankly, "But I hope that if the higher-ups want to hold me accountable, they will hold me accountable to the end."
Han Sanping raised his eyebrows: "Why, do you want to take this opportunity to find out the source of that rumor?"
"It would be best if possible."
In fact, Xu Kun didn’t intend to find out anything, he just wanted to cause some trouble for Sina.
After seeing Han Sanping off, Xu Kun started to call back one by one - there were many people in the film and television base circle, and gossip spread quickly. Just now, while Han Sanping was in a meeting, he missed more than a dozen calls.
Half of them were calls from young girls, and later he even received a call from Qin Lan. You know, the two hadn't been in touch for more than half a year.
However, after Qin Lan confirmed again and again that he was not injured, he hung up without giving him a chance to speak again.
Xu Kun felt empty inside when listening to the beeping sound, and he had no mood to stay in the crew for long.
So he went straight back to the Liu family villa to get compensation from the fairy.
…………
As expected, the Tianxian fan K attack incident quickly triggered a new storm of public opinion. The main points of attack this time were Xu Kun's private life and the problem of "unworthiness of the position".
It’s not that no one has used this to attack Xu Kun before, but Xu has been surrounded by scandals ever since the day he became famous, so much so that ordinary people don’t find it strange anymore.
But this time it was different. This time, someone almost died because of the scandal, and it even affected other people. The nature of the incident changed completely.
As a result, various media outlets, mainly from the Southern media, jumped out to criticize Xu Kun. In addition to these "old acquaintances", Sina Blog also became an important base for attacking Xu Kun.
It is said that many of Fanfou's old users have gone to Sina Blog, including some well-known "opinion leaders". However, with the previous experience of Fanfou, Sina has become more stringent in monitoring these people.
You can scold Xu Kun, and scolding Fanfou is even better, but if you want to be fierce about Jianzheng...
Sorry, deleted immediately!
If you refuse to change after repeated admonitions, your account will be blocked.
Among the many anti-Xu comments on Sina blogs, the one that received the most attention was a record of a conversation between famous opinion leader Liang Wendao and a Sina reporter.
The following is a selection of content:
Liang Wendao: Regarding Director Xu, there is one thing that I always find very strange, that is, on the one hand, he is promoted as a prodigal son who has returned to the right path, and even his deeds are promoted as a kind of positive energy; but on the other hand, he keeps making mistakes...
Of course, directors and actresses can interact with each other on an equal footing, but I think it is impossible for fairness and equality to exist between a group of actresses and directors, and this also goes against the general public's perception.
In particular, Director Xu is not only a great director, but also a billionaire.
I think that praising such a person to a very high position, or even promoting him as a positive role model, will not have the correct guiding effect on young people.
Reporter: Many people now think that he is not suitable to continue to be the director of "Founding of a Republic". What do you think about this, Mr. Liang?
Liang Wendao: I just received a message that the crew of "The Founding of a Republic" has applied for 24-hour official security. You can imagine the scene - several actors are sitting in the living room chatting, and next to them are the Flying Tigers with live ammunition.
The reason for such a wanton waste of police resources and taxpayers' hard-earned money was to protect a director who was suspected of having sexual relations with a female star.
Don't you think this is ridiculous, sad and absurd?
Reporter: But I saw many people arguing that an important tribute film like "Founding of a Republic" should have been guarded throughout the entire process.
Liang Wendao: No, no, no, I've checked. That was the practice in the 1970s and 1980s. There were also many tribute films in the new century, but only in some special circumstances would they apply for official security.
Now that the first decade of the new century is almost over, is it possible that the mainland's policies are not looking forward, but are instead going backwards?
You have to know that the special situation now is not the crew, but Director Xu himself - and as far as I know, "Founding of a Republic" has two chief directors.
Reporter: So you mean to support what those people say?
Liang Wendao: I think it’s not a question of others thinking that he should quit, but a question of whether he should voluntarily quit. This may be a better choice for the crew, taxpayers, and himself.
