I rely on talking to brush the copy

Luo Bao was selected by the crew of "Republic of China Literary Masters" to become one of the 20 fans who visited the crew, but he was not as excited as he imagined.

He was now in deep confusion.

After reading the endless black material exposure posts on the Internet, and realizing that the old actors who brought him these touching moments were so unbearable, he didn't know how he would look at "Republic of China Literary Masters" now.

Admittedly, he liked this drama, otherwise he would not have been so desperate to recommend it.

But after knowing the various bad deeds of these actors in the past, knowing that they had gambled, domestic violence, cheated, prostituted, etc., he just felt that his love was severely trampled on.

He felt ashamed.

But he couldn't help but feel lucky.

These black materials might be false!

Maybe they are all misunderstandings!

Maybe it's jealousy!

... But if it's a misunderstanding, why didn't the crew clarify it? The old scenery also remained silent abnormally?

Luo Bao watched the incident escalate, many forum users cursed hundreds of times, and even many netizens reported "Republic of China Literary Masters" to the radio and television.

At this time of public outcry, the crew of "Republic of China Literary Masters" not only did not make any explanation, but calmly invited fans to visit, which was almost tacit.

Luo Bao was not disappointed. He was disappointed now as much as he liked the show.

He didn't want to go on this visit. He thought about it for a long time, and finally decided that he still had to go.

Maybe he was still a little unwilling to give up.

He wanted to hear the explanation of the old scenery in person.

...

Twenty years after retiring, Zhang Yanfang didn't expect that she could become the center of public opinion again and become a figure of public attention again. Even if this public opinion is a bad reputation and this attention is full of malice, she is very satisfied.

For an actor who relies on the camera to make a living, if one day no audience pays attention to him, it will announce the death of his career.

Bad reputation is also fame.

For Zhang Yanfang, who has been silent for 20 years, she is willing to accept it even if she is now being criticized by thousands of people.

As early as when she chose to film again, she was mentally prepared for all the criticisms that would follow.

After retiring, in order to make a living and survive, she did some... disgusting things.

Those things are unbearable to look back on, but they are indeed a part of her past life, and she can't get rid of them until she dies. Although the wrong things she had to do for survival are unbearable, there is nothing to regret.

The past is over, and she will not think about complaining about the world. All she has to do is look forward and keep moving forward.

The only thing she can do now is to continue to grit her teeth and persevere in the long pain before dawn.

If she can survive, then Zhang Weier will come back to life. If she can't survive, there will only be one more vulgar person named Zhang Yanfang in the world.

Besides, weren't they scolded less back then?

Being scolded now, doesn't it prove that someone is starting to pay attention to them?

Zhang Yanfang and her old friends have experienced ups and downs, and have long since taken fame lightly.

In their view, it is good enough to have a movie to shoot and to live as an actor again.

Wu Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Just think of it as me paying for my past mistakes."

Zhang Yanfang smiled and asked him: "Will you gamble again in the future?"

Wu Yan lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, exhaled a smoke ring, and replied lightly: "I have thought about it. When I can't control myself and still want to gamble, I will jump off the building and end it all."

Zhang Yanfang was shocked and completely understood the determination of her old friend.

At the same time when the black material broke out on the Internet, Shi Jing told them: "I will take care of everything. You just need to concentrate on filming. Please believe me, I will convert your current scolding into future traffic."

This 24-year-old young man is calm and steady beyond his age, which makes his words have a magical charm of soothing people.

Zhang Yanfang wants to believe him.

Now there is no other way except to believe him.

Shi Jing asked them to wait, so even though the outside world was in an uproar, these old guys were not disrupted and filmed steadily every day.

It was the young actors in the crew who couldn't hold their breath.

Huang Tingting, who played Li Shuran, was only 14 years old this year. How could she have seen such a big scene? She had also been affected a lot these days. She was getting more and more haggard. She was in a bad state during filming, which delayed a lot of progress.

Huang Tingting's agent was very excited and comforted her that being black and red was also red. But Huang Tingting was young and couldn't accept it.

Zhang Yanfang heard that Huang Tingting's agent had already found the director and hoped that the crew would cooperate with the public relations, and it would be best to remove Huang Tingting and minimize the impact of this incident as soon as possible.

But Shi Jing refused.

Although Wang Yanfang didn't care about the online infamy, she also knew that if such black material continued, it would cause a lot of trouble to the crew. The worst thing might be that the TV series would be banned.

She didn't know what Shi Jing was thinking behind the scenes, but she decided to believe him.

Shi Jing trusted them at the beginning, so he had the courage to choose them to film. Now, it is time for them to trust him.

…

Mo Mingrui saw the film and television city from a distance, took a deep breath, quickened his pace, and his heart beat violently.

This is it. The Republic of China crew filmed here. He was about to see the old scenery of the director he admired.

This time, Mo Mingrui invested almost his two-month salary in the crowdfunding of "Republic of China Literary Masters".

Perhaps he had invested enough money and fate had come, and Mo Mingrui successfully became one of the 20 people who came to visit the crew.

His cousin was not so lucky. But she probably wouldn't want to visit now.

Because of the endless scandals of the actors, his cousin completely stopped being a fan. She used to follow "Republic of China Literary Masters" with great interest, but now she is so disgusted that she doesn't even want to mention it.

Mo Mingrui thinks that the character of an actor and his work are two different things. For example, in foreign entertainment circles, it is not uncommon for actors to take drugs, visit prostitutes, hang out with gangs, drink alcohol, and cheat, but it does not prevent them from being great actors and creating many classic characters.

If an actor breaks the law, then there is no problem with the audience boycotting, but if it is just a moral issue, the audience can hate this person, but it is unnecessary to attack the work.

Just like many scientists, they have poor personal ethics, but they have made many contributions in their professional fields and are admired by future generations. Just because this scientist has been a prostitute, cheated on his parents, or been a mistress, does that mean his scientific research results are garbage?

Humans are complex animals.

If you simply criticize a person from a moral high ground, it is easy to fall into the misunderstanding of black and white.

How many heroes and heroes in ancient and modern times have had private morals but not lost their integrity? The only people who are pure and perfect are probably the legendary saints.

Hating this actor is different from hating his work.

It is because my cousin mixed these two things up that she has turned from a fan to a hater of "Republic of China Literary Masters" and projected her disgust for her own actors onto "Republic of China Literary Masters".

When Mo Mingrui walked into the film and television city, he found that there were already a few people standing at the door, men and women, old and young, dressed like they did not look like crew members.

He asked curiously, "Are you also fans who were selected by the official Weibo of "Republic of China" to visit the set?"

A young man nodded and asked in surprise, "You too?"

"Yes." Mo Mingrui said with a smile, "It seems that we are all very lucky."

Being praised for his good luck, the young man pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a smile, but this smile really did not show how happy he was.

Mo Mingrui did not wait at the door for long, and soon a man came out from inside. Seeing them, he apologized repeatedly: "Sorry, I'm late and kept you waiting for a long time."

Mo Mingrui looked at the visitor, a young man with average looks, with a work ID hanging around his neck, he should be a staff member.

He introduced himself: "My name is Cheng Dali, I am the assistant director and part-time stage manager."

Several fans who were selected introduced themselves one after another.

The young man said: "My name is Luo Bao, and my online name is Luo Bao Not Radish."

Mo Mingrui was a little surprised. It turned out that this young man was the owner of the fan group Luo Bao Not Radish. He did not expect him to be so young.

…

The scenery of the old times was not wrong. The crew of "Republic of China" was indeed very poor.

The scene was very simple, and the actors' costumes were obviously low-quality Taobao goods. As for makeup...

Mo Mingrui looked at the woman who was putting makeup on others. She was no longer young, but she was indeed beautiful.

While the years gave her wrinkles, they also gave her a gentle and quiet temperament.

Her name is now Zhang Yanfang, formerly known as Zhang Weier. Twenty years ago, she was a talented actress who was popular all over the country.

If it weren't for the overwhelming black material on the Internet this time, Mo Mingrui would not know her past ups and downs.

Because of curiosity, he specially searched for her works before she retired to watch. After twenty years, he was conquered again.

This woman is indeed worthy of the name of a genius.

And "Republic of China Literary Masters" is the result of her twenty years of hard work. She surpassed herself in this TV series and contributed master-level acting skills, which deeply impressed him.

He didn't care what kind of past Zhang Wei'er had, he only knew that Zhang Wei'er was a good actor, and now she was filming a good work, that was enough.

While he was distracted, he saw a young man walking towards them, and asked the assistant with a smile: "Are all the people here?"

The assistant nodded awkwardly, "Some people didn't come."

Mo Mingrui understood why the assistant was so embarrassed, because there were only eleven fans present, including him, and nine of them stood them up.

The young man didn't show any strangeness on his face, but smiled and said to them: "Hello, I am one of the directors of "Republic of China Literary Masters", my name is Shi Jing, and my online name is Old Scenery."

He has fair skin, handsome features, and a scholarly air. He looks a few years younger than Mo Mingrui!

Mo Mingrui was dumbfounded, and couldn't believe that Old Scenery was so young! In his expectation, Old Scenery would be at least thirty years old!

"I didn't expect you to be so young!"

"You're not still a college student, are you?"

Amid the sighs of the fans, Luo Bao's questioning was particularly harsh: "Are all the things said on the Internet true? Why did you use these bad actors to film? Have you been deceived?"

The young man blinked, smiled gently, and answered one by one: "Some of what is said on the Internet is true, and some is false. I know their past, and I chose them to film because they have good acting skills."

Luo Bao couldn't tell what he felt at the moment.

Disappointment, annoyance, sadness, but more of it was anger that his love was betrayed.

"But there is something wrong with their character!" He roared angrily: "What's the use of good acting skills?! They are scum, scum, and are not worthy of acting at all!"

"A actor who is better than them is more expensive than them; a character who is better than them is not as good as their acting skills." The young man replied calmly: "Instead of looking for a saint to be a vase, I would rather find a scumbag with acting skills to film."

"What I shoot is a TV series, not to impress China. What I want are actors who can act, not just vases with good character."

Luo Bao was speechless. He subconsciously felt that what Le Jing said was wrong, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while.

A female fan retorted: "But if the actor has a bad character, it will have a very bad influence, teach minors bad things, and promote bad social trends!"

The young man nodded and added, "So you can criticize his personality, but you have no right to criticize his works."

Luo Bao was confused, "Aren't actors and works one and the same?"

Le Jing thought for a while and gave them a simple and easy-to-understand example: "For example, if the person who invented the air conditioner was a scumbag, then you wouldn't use the air conditioner? What if the chef who cooked for you cheated? If he is a prostitute, won’t you eat the food he cooks? If the engineer who builds the spaceship commits domestic violence and gambles, won’t you stop riding in the spaceship?”

"The law belongs to the law, and the morality belongs to morality. Actors who break the law will be punished by the law. Actors with bad character will have their own pressure from public opinion, but you have no right to criticize their works, because how they perform the works has no fundamental relationship with their personality. You can’t extend your hatred to the work just because you deny the actors.”

Mo Mingrui nodded secretly in his heart.

Shi Jing’s thoughts were exactly what he thought.

As long as the content of the work is legal and reasonable, the actor's private life has nothing to do with the work.

Luo Bao's mind was in a mess and he was completely confused.

"You mean, we can criticize the actors, but not the work?"

Le Jing nodded and added: "Of course, if it is a work that violates public order and good customs and has a bad impact on society, then you can also criticize the work."

"But if you think the work is trash just because of the actor's personal life, that would be outright outrage."

The fans were silent. Mo Mingrui saw from the faces of many people that they seemed to have some realization.

He couldn't help but look at Shi Jing with admiring eyes. Although this young man is young, not everyone can have this sophisticated and sober state of mind. And what's even more frightening is that he is also talented! Such young people have unlimited future prospects.

Mo Mingrui was suddenly very lucky that he could get to know him when he was just starting out, and then watch his growth with his own eyes, and even his final meteoric rise. This was also an unforgettable and precious experience for him.

Luo Bao finally fully understood Shi Jing's words.

After understanding, he felt ashamed again.

Jing Jingda is right. The faults of those actors have nothing to do with the TV series "Chronicles of Literary Heroes of the Republic of China"!

Even if those actors are scum, it doesn't stop "Chronicles of Literary Heroes of the Republic of China" from being a good work!

He actually hated the entire TV series because of the dirty stuff of a few actors. It was so childish.

"I'm sorry." Luo Bao lowered his head and apologized seriously: "I shouldn't have extended my dislike of individual actors' private lives to the entire TV series. This... is too immature..."

Facing the young man's sincere admission of mistake, Le Jing said with a smile: "I accept your apology, but... who said there are problems in the private lives of our actors?"

Luo Paul: "Huh?"

"Ah, that's not right. Wu Yan is really a bad gambler, but he has changed now. Why don't we allow him to turn back?"

Robo: "Huh?"

Le Jing pretended to sigh: "Oh, our old actors are miserable. It's so miserable. People throw dirty water everywhere, and everything is slapped on their heads. Isn't it just to bully our crew to be poor and the actors to be old!" "

Luo Paul: "What?"

"Since you are all here, you should listen to what these old timers tell us about the past."

Le Jing touched his chin, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

He has been waiting for so long for today's fan meeting.

No filming today. He wants to hold a face-to-face symposium.

At the symposium, veteran actors will talk about their past.

The one who came to the symposium to speak today is Sister Zhang.

There will be no whitewashing, no sophistry, and no concealment. Sister Zhang will tell her past in detail.

Who is right and who is wrong will be judged by the audience.

And Sister Zhang just needs to be real.

He plans to make this symposium into a documentary series. The protagonist of each episode of the documentary is a veteran actor from their crew.

He had already thought of a name, and it was called "Revelation of the Entertainment Circle."

When the time comes, he will upload the documentary to StarNet.

The only thing that can counter rumors is truth.

The author has something to say:

Sister Zhang and the others are probably Pan Yueming from the interstellar era (…)

It’s just that some people are worse than Pan Yueming ORZ
