Chapter 137 The official failure to refute rumors! (Please subscribe and vote monthly!!!)
Yan Zhengguo has no awareness of being a Riddler.
There is no intention to explain at all.
Instead, he smiled and changed the topic directly: "Let's talk about movies.
Now "The Mansion" has been released and the box office results are also very good.
I wonder, Director Lin, do you have any ideas for your next movie?"
When Lin Zheng heard this, he immediately became animated!
He didn't care about riddles or not, and expressed his bitterness to Yan Zhengguo.
"I get angry when I talk about this! You don't know, but the people from the Literary and Art Review Department set up a special team to review ghost films in order to target me.
They have to give me advice on everything I shoot!
My new movie, just because the weirdness in it is from an island country, why are they trying to ruin the relationship between the two countries by telling me this?
These people are really full, and I don’t know what is in their heads..."
Lin Zheng was very excited. He started talking about "The Ghost Mansion" which he had just beaten back, and all the way to the previous "The Ghost Mansion".
In his description, this ghost film review team is simply heinous to the extreme.
Of course, Lin Zheng was not completely dominated by his emotions, broke his guard, and cursed here.
She also has her own little thoughts in it.
The Yan Zhengguo in front of him is, after all, a big shot in the media.
It can even allow some relevant departments to directly interfere in the entertainment industry and take action against Lu Lun.
Explain that the scope and authority of the other party should be quite large.
Therefore, Lin Zheng naturally wondered if he could make the other party understand his difficulties.
It's best to take action directly to help him reduce some of the pressure on the review.
Yan Zhengguo was sitting opposite, listening quietly to Lin Zheng's complaints.
With an aunt's smile on her face, she nodded while listening, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.
It's like choosing a son-in-law for your daughter.
Although I only met Lin Zheng for the first time, we didn't talk much.
But based on his years of experience in understanding people, he has been able to determine it in general.
Lin Zheng is not such a bad person.
In other words, what Luo Fei is worried about will most likely not happen.
This is true for Yan Zhengguo, the Blade of Destruction Department, and even the entire Daxia Kingdom.
All are crucial!
After all, as long as Lin Zheng's character is good enough, then Lin Zheng holds huge secrets and power.
They will also be able to feel more at ease.
Of course, Yan Zhengguo will also try his best to obtain the benefits that Lin Zheng deserves in all aspects.
And, protect Lin Zheng’s rights and interests from being harmed.
This was the case with Lu Lun before!
Fortunately, Lin Zheng was only focused on complaining at this time and did not notice Yan Zhengguo's expression.
Otherwise, you may have to doubt the other party's orientation and whether there is something wrong.
Wait until Lin Zheng has vented all his anger.
Yan Zhengguo nodded and asked aloud: "Can I take a look at your new script?"
"Of course! Can I send it directly to your email?" Lin Zheng didn't hesitate at all, and immediately took out his mobile phone with a smile.
After getting Yan Zhengguo's email number, Lin Zheng immediately forwarded the email with the script file.
Lin Zheng didn't have much precaution against Yan Zhengguo.
On the one hand, this trust comes from Li Changsheng and others.
On the other hand, it comes from help from the other party.
He is a person who knows how to repay kindness, and when interacting with others, he also has a stick in his heart.
In his opinion, Secret Media's help to him is completely comparable to the trust in this script.
Yan Zhengguo turned on the computer next to him and carefully read the script of "The Ghost Job" in his mailbox.
Then, he said something that made Lin Zheng almost stupid:
"This script... is indeed a bit not rigorous enough. If I were reviewing it, I might ask you to make some changes.
Of course, the main changes are related to the weird settings, which need to be more rigorous, but there are no other problems."
Lin Zheng looked blank.
He originally thought that he could get some help for himself and help him deal with the review together.
Unexpectedly, this help actually went to the review side on its own.
Lin Zheng frowned and hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Yan, can you tell me why we must set things in the movie so rigorously?
The movie is inherently fake.
Captain Li is the same, and the audience needs this kind of hard-core setting.
But...I really can't understand it.
After all...what the hell is going on in this world? Why do you need to be so serious?"
Lin Zheng looked at the other party and asked very sincerely.
This was indeed a big doubt in his mind.
Both Li Changsheng and the others, as well as the reviewers of the literary review department, have extremely high requirements for the rigor of his films.
Although he was obviously making a movie, he really wanted to ask Lin Zheng to submit a paper.
If it wasn't in the system, it happened to give Lin Zheng a lot of information that he could use to figure it out.
I'm afraid he's already ruined.
After all, if you really want to come up with a system that is self-consistent and has no contradictions, you can imagine how difficult it is.
There was no surprise on Yan Zhengguo's face at all, as if he had expected Lin Zheng to ask this question.
But he did not directly answer Lin Zheng's question.
Instead, another question was raised: "Director Lin, have you ever seen anything weird?"
"No." Lin Zheng replied.
Yan Zhengguo continued to ask: "Are you afraid of weirdness?"
Lin Zheng thought for a while and answered truthfully: "I was scared before, but I'm not scared anymore.
Because... by chance, I seem to have found some ways to deal with the so-called weird things."
Yan Zhengguo continued to ask: "What if there are no such methods?"
"Then I must be afraid. In fact, when I was a child, I was particularly afraid of weirdness. It took a lot of effort to make myself bolder and realize that weirdness does not exist..."
Lin Zheng did not hide anything and explained the explanation he once told Zhang Xirou exactly.
Of course, he omitted the naughty operations such as peeing and spitting on ghosts.
After all, this is a formal occasion to meet strangers, so you still need to have a little idol baggage.
After Yan Zhengguo heard Lin Zheng's answer, he immediately said: "Actually, many people don't know whether there are any weird things in this world.
After all, ordinary people really can't see it.
Even those at the top of the official hierarchy have never seen anything strange.
But I think… wouldn’t it be appropriate to completely deny the existence of weirdness just because we can’t see it?”
Lin Zheng frowned immediately: "Mr. Yan, you mean... there is something weird... in this world?"
"I didn't say that." Yan Zhengguo immediately smiled and shook his head.
Then, the expression on his face suddenly became serious: "What I'm saying is...since we have no way to determine whether it is weird or not, shouldn't we be more cautious?
If there is nothing weird, then everything will be fine.
But if there is, then our caution is not wrong?"
Lin Zheng raised his eyebrows immediately, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He immediately asked: "You said that...are you not afraid of being held accountable? I remember, haven't the officials always claimed that there are no ghosts?
Isn't your company's mission also to explore various haunted places, find the truth, and dispel rumors?
Why is your attitude towards weirdness so...so vague and ambiguous?"
Yan Zhengguodao: "Yes, our mission is indeed to refute rumors.
We and the officials have always wanted everyone in Daxia to believe that there are no ghosts in the world.
But just like those who believe in weirdness, they can't provide any evidence that weirdness exists.
We also have no evidence that there is no weirdness.
Moreover, we are not able to participate in every haunted incident and refute rumors in a timely manner.
Daxia is so big, we can't stop everyone from talking.
Therefore, there are always some rumors circulating in society, and we have nothing to do about it.
So strictly speaking... in fact, we and the official work to refute the rumors were very unsuccessful!"
Yan Zhengguo said something again that Lin Zheng didn't expect at all, but felt very reasonable.
This is indeed the case, if the act of refuting the rumors is true.
Then in this world, not everyone will believe in ghosts.
But he didn't realize it.
Yan Zhengguo's words cleverly avoided the question of whether the official knew about the ghost.
He just said, "The official higher-ups can't see anything strange, let alone provide any evidence."
But in reality, most people don't care about these details.
I will take these two sentences as an answer.
After all, the highest-level official leaders can't see it and can't produce evidence.
Doesn’t it mean that they don’t know either?
In order to prevent Lin Zheng from thinking deeply, even if Yan Zhengguodang continued to speak, he brought the topic to a point that Lin Zheng would definitely care about:
"Fortunately, we discovered your movie when we were almost desperate!
Therefore, I specifically want to meet you, and even... want you to join our Mysterious Media Company!"
"Oh?" A look of surprise appeared on Lin Zheng's face.
First, it was a bit of a surprise because the other party invited me to join the company so directly.
Secondly, I didn’t understand why the other party praised his movie so highly.
What is the connection between his movies and the secretive media’s rumor-refuting campaign?
Lin Zheng immediately asked: "My movie can't help dispel rumors, right? There are really weird things in it, right?"
Yan Zhengguodao: "Yes, your movie really cannot help refute the rumors.
But it can help people reduce their fear of weirdness!"
Before Lin Zheng could speak, he continued to explain: "Why do the officials want to refute the rumors?
In fact, the most fundamental reason is to eliminate people’s fear of weirdness!
Once people are no longer afraid and can calm down to deal with everything, will many things be different?
But in the past few years, we have made many attempts, but in the end, the rumor-refuting actions still had little effect.
Although we are helpless, we have to endure it and let people believe that there is no weirdness in the world.
is very difficult.
But because of this, we reflect on whether our direction was wrong from the beginning?
At this time, Li Changsheng and the others met you.
Moreover, I personally experienced the filming of the movie "Happy Ghost".
Since then, we have a new idea.
Since there is no way to make people not believe that there is something weird, then, can we do the opposite!"
"Let them believe that even if there is something strange, it is not scary and can be dealt with?" Lin Zheng immediately understood what the other party meant and answered directly.
"That's right! That's the truth!" Yan Zhengguo also smiled and nodded.
