Director (8) Sea king wants to attack me
TN: This will be the last of today’s update, see you next time~
An hour later, the press conference was held as scheduled.
The reporters on the scene were also stunned by the routine of not playing cards according to common sense. Just waiting for the press conference for a short hour, they prepared a full manuscript of questions to ask.
At this time, the press conference has just begun, and everyone’s eyes are almost all focused on the youth in the centre.
A simple white shirt, grey trench coat, not very formal, but the person just needed to sit there and he turned everyone else into green leaves (TN:background board).
However, at the moment, the most eye-catching thing about him is not his face, but the amazing operations he has done in this short time.
He was named twice by the police station in such a short time, was praised by the officials, and was listed as an enthusiastic citizen. The first move, the Zhou group collapsed on its own, and the second move, he destroyed his own company and sent his father to prison…
Such a ruthless person, even these entertainment reporters who have always been bold and dare to explode any material for the heat, has generated admiration from the bottom of their hearts!
Especially just a quarter of an hour ago, they also saw the picture of the police arresting people on the Internet, and who knows which terrible and capable individual got taken…
The former chairman of Shengshi, the cruel father of the person at the front, Mr. Yan Mingzhe, was caught directly from the mental hospital wearing a hospital uniform.
——When he was arrested, Yan Mingzhe, who usually shouted in the mental hospital every day that he was not ill and wanted to go out, suddenly bravely admitted the fact that he was ill and always claimed that he was a mental patient and resisted arrest.
Of course, this is useless.
Even when he is mentally ill now, he was fine before. It can’t be that he only becomes mentally ill when he evades taxes, will he?
In a word, Mr. Yan Mingzhe will spend half of his life in prison or a psychiatric hospital.
There is a precedent of the old chairman. At this moment, these Shengshi executives who have been left after the split can only use two words to describe their gazes when looking at Yuan Buwei——
Too terrifying!
Some time ago, they didn’t like this new boss who only knows to fish in the company every day, but now it seems that they were ignorant before.
Not surprisingly, before the press conference, the reporters asked about the matter of killing relatives for the sake of righteousness: “President Yan, you sent former president Yan to a mental hospital before, and now you personally reported that you sent him to prison. Some people said that you were too unfilial. What are your thoughts on this?”
“Should criminals and violent mental patients move freely in society? What law-abiding citizens think, is what I think.”
Yuan Buwei asked a question back in reply, and everyone was speechless.
This is really extremely politically correct.
He shook his head in his heart and said to the system 999, “I originally wanted to make the old man feel at ease to provide for the aged in the mental hospital. Later, I thought, it’s easy to become bored staying in one place all the time, and he can now enjoy a different scenery in prison. Isn’t this called filial piety?”
System 999: […]
I’m afraid you have misunderstood the word filial piety?
After Yuan Buwei’s politically correct statement that blocked everyone’s accusations, the press conference started smoothly.
The first topic is the news of Shengshi’s split and reorganisation.
Shengshi group was extremely powerful ten years ago, naturally it has several subsidiaries and involves a wide range of industries. However, over the years, Shengshi has been dwindled by Yan Mingzhe to become third rate in the country.
Had it not been for the coquettish operation of Yuan Buwei and instead this press conference was only about the Shengshi, it would not have attracted so many reporters, especially those from some top journals.
The split and reorganisation he wants to do is very simple. First, he removes the incompetent and corrupt executives like Yan Mingzhe, and then cuts off the subsidiaries that have been losing money. Leaving only a few subsidiaries involved in entertainment and film, after the merger it will welcome a new prosperity.
In a sense, Yuan Buwei almost regarded this new company as his own studio. In the future, when he shoots new works, Shengshi can help with everything except the filming.
Anyway, there is a versatile Secretary Jiang.
“Director Yan, no, President Yan,is the brand-new Shengshi going to enter the entertainment industry completely?” In the past, Shengshi was not primarily in the entertainment industry, and those subsidiaries were not well-known, but now it has changed its direction aggressively. Is this really possible?
With a sceptical gaze, the reporters kept throwing questions one after another from the audience.
Needless to say, the tool men sitting on the left and right sides took the topic very actively for him and calmly answered the reporters’ topics.

As the press conference was broadcast live online, netizens attracted by it saw a very funny picture as soon as they opened the live broadcast.
The senior executives of Shengshi took the initiative to share the worries for the boss, talked about the prospects of Shengshi, and spoke with impassioned enthusiasm. It seemed they had made quite the adequate preparations.
But the young man sitting in the centre is lazily raising his hand to support his chin, and his dark grey eyes are full of boredom. Hearing the answers, he raised his hand as if nothing had happened, covered his face and put it down again.
［！！！ Wait, if I didn’t see it wrong just now, did Yan Xun yawn discreetly?]
[Blind student, you found Hua Dian!] 1
[23333 it’s like when I’m sleepy in politics class. It’s very real.]
It was unknown which genius netizen first noticed his little moves. Netizens who also thought the press conference was too boring, suddenly had their attention grabbed and began to play tricks crazily on the bullet screen.
[Surprised! As the president of Shengshi, he publicly yawned at the first press conference of Shengshi’s split and reorganisation, saying that he was extremely optimistic. I’m afraid this Shengshi is not good!]
[Impassioned, high spirited and eloquent Shengshi senior management: there is a traitor among us.Jpg]
[Shengshi staff said: is the president an undercover agent sent by the enemy? Don’t move, don’t move.]
Yuan Buwei didn’t know that his secret actions had been discovered. It’s really that these tool people beside him are so good at talking that they can say a lot of cliches and empty words for more than half an hour, which makes him crave sweets.
Lack of energy, sleepy.
After arduously waiting for this topic to come to an end, he finally got his spirits up with the upcoming key point.
The purpose of his press conference today is not for the reorganisation of Shengshi, but for the promotion of the new film, which is also one of the conditions reached between him and those cinemas.
Just as several reporters who greeted Shengshi in advance were preparing to ask questions according to the steps agreed by the two sides before, someone who hadn’t spoken before suddenly stepped in first.
“I heard that director Yan went to a mental hospital for a while because of his unstable mental state a while ago?”
A strange reporter suddenly opened his mouth.
“Don’t know if director Yan has recovered now? Will it have any impact on director Yan’s career in the future? After all, everyone knows that the closed crew is the most likely to cause mental discomfort.”
The intentions of these words are bad no matter who heard them.
Obviously, they want to guide the actors and fans to think in a negative way. Once the other party goes crazy in the crew, what will those actors do?
Yuan Buwei glanced at him: “your news is out of date. I’m not going to a mental hospital for treatment, I’m going to treat them, and did some filming while I was at it.”
In the news released by the police before, there was indeed a sentence mentioning Yuan Buwei, together with the other patients, resolutely suppressed those doctors and nurses before calling the police.
So that other people may mistakenly think that this is the story of a mental patient’s uprising. Yuan Buwei is just like a leader in the Chen Sheng Wu Guang uprising.2
But these people are obviously mistaken. This is not a bottom-up uprising. Even if it is a real uprising, Yuan Buwei would have a super double high probability of success. Similar to that of Zhang Jue, one sentence can turn a madman into his own believer. 3
“Haha, director Yan is really funny.”
“It’s not a joke, it’s true.”

With that, he found a letter of commendation written by the police station and showed the content of the picture in front of the camera.
Everyone: “? ? ?”
Yuan Buwei continued to say as if nothing had happened: “I’ve solved your doubts. You can sit down. Next, I’ll only answer questions about the new film.”
“Oh, oh.”
The reporter couldn’t return to his senses. He responded stupidly twice. After subconsciously sitting down, he reacted. Shouldn’t he continue to make trouble for him?
But his brain has been filled with that wonderful thank-you letter, and he even forgot the subsequent tricky questions.
At this moment, the barrage is full of question marks, or ha ha’s. Others took screenshots of Yuan Buwei’s serious expression and prepared to make them into expression packs.
[Keeping a thank-you note with you. Are you for real?]
[I’m not there to get treated, I’m there to treat others.Jpg.]
[I’m not being admitted into the mental hospital, I’m here to destroy the family of doctors and patients in the mental hospital. Jpg]
[It’s simple to cure illnesses, let’s shoot a film by the way.Jpg]
After such a movie, everyone was full of curiosity about the film that was created in the mental hospital. Who knows whether this reporter came to deliberately make things difficult for him, or to deliberately send assists?
This episode did not bring any bad effects. Other reporters began to take advantage of the situation to ask questions about the new film, which were answered one by one by Yuan Buwei.
“… Yes, it’s a new genre for me.”
“… The environment of the mental hospital has given me a lot of inspiration. It is also convenient to get materials there.”
“It’s self-directed and self-acting. The content of the script is very interesting and won’t disappoint everyone.”
“… The promotional film will be out tomorrow.”
Yuan Buwei answers them one by one, which is similar to an ordinary film release process.
The barrage in the live broadcast room began to cause trouble again.
[Ah, disappointed. How come there’s no coquettishness?]
[My youthful days are over!4 Now you are not really you, please return to the previous king of coquettishness!]
[Looking forward to new movies, living inhumanly everyday ~]
In the crazy ridicule of netizens, at the end of the press conference, the reporter who was confused by Yuan Buwei seemed to finally react. With his previous performance, let alone getting paid by star entertainment, it would be optimistic to not be punished.
He stood up and decided to not just admit defeat: “wait a minute, I have another question.”
Yuan Buwei, who was about to leave the press conference, turned around and looked at him, only to hear the reporter suddenly say loudly: “Before it was rumoured on the Internet that director Yan tried to use unspoken rules towards the female supporting cast of ‘Deep Palace’ and you deliberately took the credit of the deputy director for ghost. Won’t director Yan give an explanation?”
“What explanation do you want?”
He was feeling for the candy in his pocket, but was interrupted, making him feel a little unhappy in his heart.
He looked at the camera, and his dark grey eyes showed an extremely sharp look for the first time.
“A few days ago, I idly read through the law, and at least I know the common sense of whoever accuses needs to provide evidence. If someone thinks I have committed an illegal act, you are welcome to report it directly. Do you need me to help make a police call?”
At this point, Yuan Buwei revealed a smile.
[Ah, yes, yes! This smile is killing me! Now my heart is beating fast and my head is a little dizzy. I need to call the police quickly!]
[The one above, it seems that your brain is really not working well. If your heart is beating too fast, you should call the number for a hospital!]
[Awesome 666! Indeed, since you think you are a victim, go to the police! Don’t say there is no evidence, you must fully believe in the strength of the police uncle!]
[That person, and that person, the actor and director who accused director Yan of stealing credit before. Watch and learn! Don’t just cry on the internet, learn from enthusiastic citizen Yan’s methods.
The author has something to say: before, there was a little cutie who said she didn’t like to read netizens’ comments, and I deliberately wrote some. The main reason is that if there is no netizens’ comments in the entertainment industry world, I always feel that there is no atmosphere. At present, within the three times of comments, you can see the change of netizens’ attitude towards the protagonist. At first, they scolded. The second time, they have changed. This time, they joked lightheartedly. His image has become positive.
1 盲生，你发现了华点 = “Blind student, you have discovered Huadian”, a popular phrase on the Internet, which means “you have discovered things and places that ordinary people have not seen”. It comes from “The adventures of Sherlock Holmes”, a variant of what Sherlock Holmes said when Watson discovered the key point of solving the case, namely “Watson, you found a blind spot”.
2 Chen Sheng Wu Guang uprising (Daze township uprising)
The Daze Township Uprising (also known as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang Uprising) was a peasant uprising launched by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in Daze Township at the end of the Qin Dynasty. The Daze Township Uprising was the first large-scale peasant uprising in Chinese history, which fundamentally shook the Qin Dynasty’s rule, created favorable conditions for Xiang Yu and Liu Bang to destroy Qin, and played an important role in the history of Chinese peasant warfare.

He used some religious concepts and social and political thoughts to organise the masses to form the peasant revolt
4 My youthful days are over = 爷青结
“爷,”which literally means “grandpa,” is jokingly used by Chinese people to refer to themselves, “青,” short for “青春” (qīngchūn)，refers to “youthful days,” and “结” is short for “结束” (jiéshù)， which means “to end.” Therefore, this catchphrase means “My youthful days are over.” This is often used when something or someone you’ve always cared for has become history. It’s also used sarcastically to express one’s shock at a very unusual happening.
