Chapter 412 How Come the Boss Snatched Away the Sword I Gave You?
Fang Rong and Chen Xiao walked to the stage and sat down together.
Finally, a reporter noticed him and said, "Director Fang, please look over here."
Fang Rong felt a little more comfortable and looked over with a smile.
"Director Fang, please open your eyes... and try to smile."
"?" Fang Rong's smile froze.
Trying to smile? You have a very flexible mind, kid.
I've never seen you like this before. Today, just because he is standing next to Comrade Xiao Chen and there is a comparison, will he be attacked based on his appearance?
Damn it.
His eyes definitely brightened up!
Are you doing eye exercises secretly? He does the same thing when he goes back.
He forced a smile and filmed for a minute. Finally, the actor entered and attracted the attention of reporters.
Looking at the group of handsome guys and beauties walking in, Fang Rong sighed silently in his heart. Damn it, Xiao Chen should go sit with the actors. It's uncomfortable to come behind the scenes with them when he looks like this.
As the leading actors took their seats, today's press conference officially began.
The person in charge of hosting today is Cao Wei, the producer of "Legend of Sword and Fairy". He is responsible for the publicity work of the crew and is familiar with the film and its members, so he is the host.
Under the stage, female reporter Xu Na in the first row listened to the host's introduction to today's process while flipping through today's information.
Hearing that the host was about to finish his introduction, Xu Na raised her head and glanced at the live broadcast room on the tablet.
The moment her eyes fell on the barrage area of the live broadcast room, she quickly frowned and looked serious.
What is going on?
The barrage in front of her actually contained many voices that she had not seen while collecting information during the day——
""Sword of Immortality" promotes great love and devotion, is it just for capitalist PUA employees, right?"
"It's so funny that Chen Xiao is a capitalist himself. He writes scripts to promote his work and contributes to the collective. His thoughts are very clear."
"Donations are donated by poor people to rich people, not to mention working part-time?"
"Donation should be voluntary. When you persuade others to donate, it violates the meaning of donation."
"Where did the black man come from? Is there something wrong with promoting love? Don't put yourself in the role of a devotee, okay?"
"Did they ask you to donate money when they were filming a TV series?"
"If the boss uses the "Sword of Immortal" set to PUA employees, why don't I say yes? This is moral kidnapping!"
Reporter Fang looked at the barrage area, opened his mouth slightly, and blinked in disbelief.
What's going on?
Is the public pressure too severe to tolerate TV dramas promoting love?
No, this trend hasn’t happened during the day.
Xu Na took a closer look again and suddenly realized that most of the messages were from new accounts and using the default nickname.
Is this Heizi?
Should I be banned?
But the quarrel has already started. Even if the words are banned, it will be difficult to completely suppress it, right?
With this in mind, today's interview officially began.
The first opportunity to ask a question was seized by a reporter in his forties who was diagonally behind her.
The reporter stood up and took the microphone and bowed slightly, "Hello teachers, I am a reporter from Fire Phoenix Entertainment. I would like to ask a question to the screenwriter Teacher Chen."
Chen Xiao picked up the phone and said, "Please speak."
The reporter took a deep breath and smiled awkwardly: "I personally like "Legend of Sword and Fairy". I just saw that the audience in our live broadcast room has a question, let me help them ask it."
As he said that, the reporter looked at Chen Xiao tentatively.
This brother made a movie criticizing the media back then, and then angrily criticized reporters during an interview for "Frozen". Every time I have to ask some provocative questions, I feel terrified.
He just wanted to emphasize that it was not him who asked this question, and he was not looking for trouble.
Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Well, no problem, please tell me."
The reporter breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The Legend of Sword and Fairy emphasizes that the great knight serves the country and the people, and promotes the spirit of dedication. Some netizens said that the leaders used the role of Zhao Ling'er to persuade them to work more overtime. Some netizens were worried , is this similar to the PUA rhetoric that everyone is making fun of? "What do you think?"
Chen Xiao picked up the phone and said:
"Thank you for asking. Let me explain it to you."
"In our traditional Chinese culture, love is a very important value. For example, Confucianism emphasizes benevolence, while Mohism emphasizes universal love. The former has the distinction between closeness and distance, while the latter advocates that love has no distinction between thick and thin, closeness and distance."
"But no matter which one it is, it is a requirement for everyone, and it comes and goes. So there is a saying that water can carry a boat and also capsize it. The people support the monarch, and the monarch must also love his people."
"In other words, it goes both ways."
"The essence of what everyone calls boss PUA is capitalism. Bosses exploit employees. Some bosses will sugar-coat the exploitation with a layer of 'dedication' and coat it with the spirit of our traditional culture."
"Then there is a problem here. According to traditional culture, you love me and I love you. Employees love the company, and the company must also love its employees, right?"
"Back to the TV series, if we try to apply the concept of Zhao Ling'er in "Sword and Fairy" to the workplace, Zhao Ling'er is a princess of a country. She is the boss, not an employee."
"So, using the idea of Zhao Ling'er's character in "Sword and Sword", it should also be for employees to become PUA bosses, right?"
"If something goes wrong, the leader will take the responsibility. The leader should take care of the employees first and then the family. The company is the boss's real home, right? This is a sword given to you, how can it be taken away by others?"
"The words just now were for the situation where "Sword of Immortality" is used to encourage employees. Just use his routine to fight back."
"But in fact, the employment relationship is the employment relationship."
"Our traditional culture is pursuing the upper limit of morality."
"But in reality, we at least keep the lower limit of the law."
"If we choose the logic of traditional culture, we will achieve the ideal two-way rush, two-way, not one-way. If we choose the law, we will just do a good job of the employment relationship."
After speaking, Chen Xiao put down the microphone and nodded to the reporter.
When this sentence came out, the reporters in the audience felt a little heavy.
Because...the reality is that even the lower limit cannot be kept. Most of the people present do not have double wages, but they sit here to work.
Morality is the upper limit of pursuit. The law is the lower limit to ensure stability.
Use the ideal upper limit as a rhetoric to require employees to break the lower limit of the law.
Oh, TMD.
The atmosphere in the multi-purpose hall became slightly depressed.
But the live broadcast room was indeed very lively.
Because Director Chen spoke their minds!
Xiao Li, who posted a post to complain about his boss, clenched the beer can in his hand and nodded vigorously.
Director Chen's mind is really logical!
Why didn't he react when his boss said to him yesterday, "Your idols are calling for contributions to the collective"?
That's calling for contributions from those in power!
I really envy Director Chen's chatterbox.
If he could have fought back like that at the time, and finally said, "Boss, thank you for understanding our traditional culture so well. So you wanted to help me finish today's work, you should have said so earlier. The company is really our home. Thank you, dad."
Ah, how cool that would be.
Not to mention calling him dad, calling him ancestor, even asking him to burn paper on Qingming Festival!
