Chapter 269 Going Crazy in Front of People All Over the World

Julian said to Chu Qing:
"Is Director Xiaocheng really ill? Hasn't he seen a doctor in your country?"

Chu Qing smiled bitterly:

"In fact, many people in our country suggested this to him, but he insisted that he was not sick and refused to see a doctor. No one could do anything about it, and they couldn't force him to go, right? There is a joke on the Internet that says: Cheng Cheng went to see a psychologist, and the psychologist was tortured into having psychological problems. The psychologist asked, sir, what's wrong with you, and Cheng Cheng said: Guess what I'm thinking~"

"Oh~", Julian covered his face, "This is not what a psychologist should do, they can't read minds~"

Chu Qing said: "Of course I can't read his mind, this is just a joke from netizens, but it does seem like something that would happen to him."

Julian rubbed his brows and said distressedly:
"Director Chu Qing, do you know that many people have complained to me these days? The director of "Torment" found me and asked me to be fair, saying that Director Xiaocheng broke into the toilet cubicle and took all the toilet paper from him. This is too bad."

Chu Qing smiled awkwardly:
"Julian, old friend, as the chairman, you should be able to suppress it, right?"

Julian said helplessly:

"Of course, I have advised him to give up the complaint, but he can't go on like this. Although I like him very much, he has destroyed the harmony of the Cannes Film Festival. Cannes is a holy place for international filmmakers to communicate, not a circus."

At this time, a staff member hurriedly knocked on the door and walked in.

Julian had a bad feeling.

Today is the fourth day. Is Cheng Cheng going to do anything new?
He asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

The staff member took a breath and said:

"Chairman, there's an incident with security."

Julian was confused:
"what's up?"

Staff: "Someone complained that the theater was too noisy, but the security guards didn't care."

Julian: "It's too noisy in the theater, what's going on?"

Staff: "Oh, dozens of directors are arguing, and the security guards can't stop them."

Julian was more puzzled: "Why were those filmmakers arguing?"

Staff: "It was Cheng Cheng who called them to the same theater. They had a disagreement and started arguing, so someone complained. The security guards didn't do anything after the complaint. In short, it was the security guards' fault—"

“Stop, stop, stop!” Julian stretched out his hand to stop them, furious. “Don’t talk about security! Don’t talk about security! Can you please just tell me what happened?”

The staff spread his hands and said, "Oh no, something happened to the security guard~"

Julian was so angry!
He and Chu Qing went to the scene together and found that there were dozens of directors from all over the world arguing in the theater in various languages.

And Cheng Cheng even added fuel to the fire.

When Julian saw this scene, his head started buzzing!

What the hell is going on?!
He and Chu Qing caught a director from the battle and questioned him for a long time before they found out the whole story.

It turned out that Cheng Cheng brought together directors of different types, interviewed them in advance about what type of directors they were, and asked them what kind of subject matter they disliked the most. He then edited the film into a single one and showed it to them.

Among them, there are also some director's film clips.

So directors of different types started arguing.

A director who advocates feminism and calls for an end to the appearance of scenes of female abuse and large-scale scenes in movies has had an argument with a director who likes to include large-scale content and strong alkaline content in his movies.

Directors who portray religious themes and directors who mock religion and vilify religious figures have started arguing.

The director who advocated the idea of ​​"no borders" and the director who filmed mainstream themes had an argument.

The director who filmed the stereotype that Africa was poor and backward and needed to be saved by civilized people had an argument with the African director.

A director whose film was suspected of discriminating against a certain country had an argument with a director from another country.

The director who advocates animal protection had an argument with the director whose film showed scenes of injured animals.

And it would be fine if they were just arguing, as several directors were about to roll up their sleeves and start fighting!
After hearing this, Julian's eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

The Cannes Film Festival has been established for more than 70 years, and there has never been such a dramatic scene!

Cheng Cheng!

Cheng Cheng!

Cheng Cheng!

Julian thought Cheng Cheng would go crazy, but he didn't expect Cheng Cheng to go so crazy!

Media from various countries also rushed to the scene after hearing the news, and set up their cameras when they saw this scene.

Here in the domestic media, several people were almost laughing.

A young man said, "Sister Ma, you are worthy of being like me. As soon as I saw Cheng Cheng appear, I knew they would definitely make trouble. Now we filmed the whole process."

A middle-aged woman pushed her black-framed glasses arrogantly:

"It's just a little foresight. Wherever Cheng Cheng is, there must be big news. It's definitely a good idea to follow him closely."

The young man laughed and said:
"Cheng Cheng is really good at making things happen. When the news gets back to China, I wonder how happy the netizens will be. Dozens of internationally renowned directors are arguing about it. The number of views will definitely go up, and we can also make a lot of money in bonuses."

Middle-aged woman: "Chairman Julian and Chu Qing have appeared. You must take good pictures of their reactions. This is also a highlight."

"understand!"

-

"I am Julian, the chairman of the jury of this year's Cannes International Film Festival. Please be quiet."

Julian walked onto the stage, and with his earnest persuasion and the intervention of the security guards, dozens of directors finally calmed down. However, they were still glaring at each other and disliked each other. If they had a disagreement, there were signs that the war would resume.

And what about Cheng Cheng?

This grandson was mixed in with dozens of directors and looked up at Julian as if nothing had happened!
"Okay, okay, the purpose of the Cannes International Film Festival is to provide everyone with a platform to communicate and showcase themselves. Please cherish this rare opportunity."

After persuading dozens of directors to leave, Julian called Cheng Cheng to his office:
"Okay, I beg you, just be quiet~"

At least let's keep quiet during his term as chairman.
-

As for the outside world, the quarrel among dozens of directors at the Cannes Film Festival became a hot topic in various countries.

Neon:

"Xiao, Chengjun is really never quiet wherever he goes~"

peninsula:

"He is the pride of East Asia. Compared to the Peninsula stars who are timid on the international stage, I prefer Cheng Cheng. Peninsula stars should learn from him!"

“People with works have the confidence to do anything!”

Eros:
"Cheng Cheng is so funny!"

Domestic netizens laughed so hard that they became shit:
"Hahahahahahahaha, what kind of psychopath has appeared in our Tianxia in the past five thousand years! I'm dying of laughter!"

"I knew that Brother Frog would not be peaceful in Cannes this time!"

"On the first day, he stole someone's toilet paper and pretended to be a director. On the second day, he pretended to be a reporter and tortured foreign celebrities, asking them math and history questions. On the third day, he tricked people into taking photos, but they turned out to be all selfies. On the fourth day, he was even more outrageous, and directly provoked a war of words with dozens of directors!"

"The problem is that there are still celebrities saying that Pearl Harbor was bombed by Serbia, hahahahahahaha. They bombed themselves, right?"

"Dozens of directors who had never met each other formed a blood feud with Cheng Cheng's enthusiastic help."

"What is Cyber ​​Cricket Fighting?"

"Cheng Cheng played the role of a country blocker."

"The problem is that he is really good at it! How did he come up with the idea of ​​bringing together dozens of directors of different genres who are opposed to each other to curse each other?"

"The question is whether he can really bring these dozens of directors together."

"Superb mental state + superb mobility + superb mobility!"

"I like him so much! It makes me feel relaxed as if I'm no longer in the international film industry!"

"What you say makes me want to laugh more and more hahahahahaha!"

"I'm really hilarious behind my smile, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" "Damn, that's too funny!"

"I can only say that Cheng Cheng is more restrained in China, but he dares to do anything when he goes abroad!"

"The beast is out of the cage!"

"Did Cheng Cheng invent this?"

“This year’s Cannes will probably go down in history!”

"People will never forget the fear of being dominated by Cheng Cheng that day!"

"They should thank this kick for bringing in traffic [eating melon seeds]"

"Yes, this is happening on the front pages of the world. Hahahaha. What a weird thing!"

"To be honest, if it weren't for Cheng Cheng, I wouldn't have paid attention to this year's Cannes Film Festival."

-

Coming out of Julian's office.

Chu Qing said: "Director Cheng, you must not go crazy again, otherwise they will kick us out and we won't even be able to attend the closing ceremony."

Cheng Cheng glanced at his phone and said:
“We really can’t do this anymore.”

Chu Qing breathed a sigh of relief:

Cheng Cheng finally realized the seriousness of the problem. It can be said that he has participated in so many international film festivals, but has never seen such a weirdo as Cheng Cheng, who made the entire film festival in chaos.

Cheng Cheng said, "Luo Wei's Birthing a Daughter is about to be screened, let's go watch the movie."

Chu Qing:.
So the reason I'm not going crazy is because I have other things to do?
Cheng Cheng added: "Let's call Wen Lian and Li Yang and the others."

Cheng Cheng called Wen Lian and others and came to the exhibition hall of "Birthing a Daughter". Then, without disturbing anyone, he found a place to sit down and watched the movie. This was the first Tianxia movie at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

After watching the movie, everyone's expressions were very exciting.

What is the movie "Giving Birth to a Daughter" about?

In a town hospital in a small town, the heroine played by Bai Bei was pushed into the delivery room, and the whole family was looking forward to the arrival of a new life.

However, with a crisp cry in the delivery room, the moment they learned that it was a girl, the husband Wang Qiang (the male protagonist)'s face instantly turned gloomy, and the mother-in-law became even more resentful. She didn't even look at the child, and left a word of "a waste of money" and went back home.

This girl is the second female lead in this film.

As the second female lead suddenly grew up, she discovered that the world around her was full of indifference and prejudice towards her. Her father was difficult to get close to, and her grandmother treated her coldly, which made her wonder why she was hated.

Only her mother's love made her feel warm.

But her mother couldn't protect her. Because her mother didn't give birth to a boy, her grandmother cursed and found fault with her every day. Her father would beat her and her mother at every turn because of the gossip among the neighbors.

At this time, the mother's (Bai Bei) memories began to be interspersed. It turned out that Bai Bei was a college student and came from a small merchant family. She was very kind and had participated in many public welfare activities to care for migrant workers. One year during the college summer vacation, she even went to the countryside to teach. But in the year she graduated from her senior year, her sympathy was exploited and she was trafficked here.

When she was first trafficked here, she ran away many times, but was caught and beaten each time. One time, she ran to a well tea and thought she was saved, but unexpectedly, the well tea sent her back.

It turned out that this policeman was actually a participant in the human trafficking industry.

Bai Bei did not despair, she still wanted to run away, even if she was beaten half to death. But one day, she found out that she was pregnant, she could not run away, to use the explanation in the movie, she was kidnapped by maternal love.

The second female character grew up and went to primary school. Because she was pretty, she was teased by male classmates and coveted by male teachers at school.

One day when she came home from school, she heard her father and grandmother whispering to each other that they should have another son as soon as possible, and then they would sell the second daughter instead of raising this money-losing child. The second daughter was terrified and told Bai Bei.

Bai Bei was furious, and while working in the fields, she hit herself with an object, destroying her fertility. She knew that her family had spent all their money to buy her, and if she destroyed herself, her husband would not be able to have another child, so he would have to recognize the second daughter.

She was sent to the hospital, but it was too late to save her. When her husband learned that she was infertile, he immediately showed a murderous look. Her mother-in-law also pulled her off the bed without caring.

She was still bleeding at the time, but she didn't care and just said it couldn't be treated.

After returning home, seeing Bai Bei's appearance, the second female lead cried miserably.

Bai Bei told her: "Study hard, make progress, and don't be in the same world as them."

The second female lead listened to it.

The second female lead gradually grew up and soon became a smart and beautiful girl. Her mother was left with a chronic illness because of what happened in the past; her father still beat her mother at every turn; her grandmother was paralyzed in bed, and because she had no grandchildren, she treated her mother even worse.

But for the sake of her second daughter's schooling, the mother endured the humiliation and took care of her husband, and also had to wash her grandmother's body.

In the college entrance examination, the second girl got very good results, but her father did not want to support her studies and wanted her to marry someone randomly. Her grandmother also opposed it. In the end, her mother stole all the money in the family and used it as a cover to let the second girl run away.

She fulfilled her mother's wish to escape.

When she came to the big city to study, she felt unfamiliar with everything here. She found a part-time job to earn a living. Every night she couldn't help but think about what would happen to her when her mother sent her out. She didn't dare to think about it and just gritted her teeth and did the part-time job.

When she went to college, her classmates saw that she was dressed in rags and called her a "frum girl" and looked down on her.

But there was also a man who had his eyes on her. He was a rich second-generation man and pursued her many times, but she refused. Later, after the rich second-generation man solved several crises for her, she got together with him.

But the rich second generation told her the truth. It turned out that he had just made a bet with his friend that he could catch up with her within a month. Now, he won the bet.

The second female lead slapped him and tried to leave, but he pushed her onto the bed. He then raped her and took photos to threaten her, saying that she would be his plaything from now on and had to be at his beck and call.

The following plot is even darker. She is often called to the rich second generation, and is with several of his rich second generation friends. There are also some other girls on the scene. The next morning, she puts on her clothes and leaves.

In her senior year, she had already started smoking and drinking. At the last moment before graduation, the rich second generation took a photo and threatened another girl, so she was abandoned. The rich second generation said, "You have been with me very well for the past four years, but I am tired of you."

But on the day of the defense, the second female lead suddenly heard a rumor that the girl that the rich second generation had just hooked up was gone. She fell naked from the building and died a tragic death.

At this moment, the second female decided to resist. She didn't want more people to experience such a thing again. She found the second-generation rich man and said, "You are a sinner and you should be judged." The second-generation rich man looked at her as if she was a lunatic and said, "I have let you go, why did you come back?"

Female No. 2 said: I have never left you.

The rich second generation had no idea what she was talking about, so he released the photos of the second female lead he had taken over the years.

For a time, the photo of the second female lead was widely circulated and flooded the school forum. The second female lead was also criticized and reported to the police. Jingcha said that you cannot prove that it was the other party who took the photo and there is a lack of evidence. She also said that the girl died because of the rich second generation.

Jingcha said it was suicide and the family had reconciled, so the case has been closed.

No one knew what the second female lead was thinking when she came out of the tea house, but the next day, she bought a ticket and returned to the village.

Grandma is dead, and mother has been tortured to the point of going crazy. She looks at her daughter who has returned with tears in her eyes, as if asking her why she came back. The second female lead looks at her calmly, as if saying: This is all fate.

Her father was overjoyed and locked her up at home just like he had locked up her mother, and she did not resist.

A week later, her father sold her to an old bachelor from the same village for 30 yuan.

A year later, the sound of a baby crying was heard outside the delivery room.

The doctor said: It's a daughter.

-

The whole place was silent. After a long while, Chu Qing moved his lips and asked:
"Director Cheng, what do you think of this movie?"

Cheng Cheng couldn't hold it in any longer: "Abduction, strong alkali, threats of taking private photos, preference for sons over daughters, xsr, conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Jingcha is bad, the husband is bad, the mother-in-law is bad, the second-generation rich man is pregnant, the overall environment is bad, I can only say that all the factors are present."

He asked Wen Lian:

"what do you think?"

Wen Lian frowned:

"I just want to ask, when the second female lead ran away, why didn't her mother run with her? She had enough time, right? Also, when the second female lead went to the big city, why didn't she try to contact her grandparents? Why didn't she call the police about the trafficking? Even when she was in junior high school or high school, she had the opportunity to call the police. Does that mean that all the people in Jingcha are bad? Are all people involved in trafficking? Is there no good person? Also, she didn't go home for four years in college?"

In fact, Wen Lian hasn’t said much more.

When she, Director Cheng, and Yan Gou'er took "All or Nothing" to the Golden Film Awards ceremony, Luo Wei had approached Yan Gou'er and wanted to ask her to film a movie. If Yan Gou'er agreed, she would probably play the second female lead in this movie.

The second female lead in this movie has more than ten naked scenes throughout the film, including front and back.

If Yan Gou'er had really participated at that time, his life would probably have been ruined by Luo Wei.

It is ironic that Luo Wei keeps saying that she is doing it for women and feminism, but in order to win awards, show her avant-garde nature and sell the film at a good price, she actually shot so many revealing scenes.

To put it bluntly, male directors don’t do this anymore.
