Chapter 488 Speak Up for Injustice(1/2)
School bullying is a very sensitive subject.
If it is a movie, you can also find several excellent works on this subject.
In TV dramas, there are very few masterpieces on this subject.
After all, TV dramas are usually for entertainment and to kill time for the audience.
Many viewers are already tired from work and study, and don't want to watch a drama about bitterness and hatred.
This subject is more suitable for a movie.
After all, it takes one and a half to two hours to tell a story. Even if the story is depressing, it will pass if you hold on for a while.
This is why movies are more suitable for satirizing reality and exposing human nature.
As for a TV series, even if it is a short drama, it will last at least ten episodes, and a longer one will last forty or fifty episodes.
In such a long TV series, the depressing plot of encountering bullying may make the audience abandon the series.
Therefore, when Fang Xing said that the theme of the new drama was school bullying, the reporters, passers-by, and fans at the scene were all very surprised.
so far.
This press conference held by Ark Culture was full of weirdness.
The press conference was announced in a hurry, and there were only twenty hours between the time the news came out and the press conference.
If Ark Culture hadn't become a hot topic for gossip news, no reporters would be willing to pay attention to it in such a short period of time.
The weirder it is, the more breaking news it is.
The reporters immediately asked: "Fang Xing, why do you want to make a movie about school bullying so suddenly? Before this, the audience of "Nirvana in Fire" has been calling for you to make a second part to explain the ending of Mei Changsu."
In "Nirvana in Fire", Mei Changsu's ending is not clearly explained.
This arrangement is to give the audience something to think about.
Mei Changsu's cold poison is inherently incurable.
Moreover, judging from the whole story, Mei Changsu should have died in the fire at Meiling twelve years ago.
The reason why he lived for twelve more years was to seek justice for the wronged souls of the Red Flame Army.
Therefore, Mei Changsu's ending is actually doomed, whether there is a second part or not.
The reporter next to him also added a question: "Fang Xing, the press conference was so hasty, is it because you actually decided to shoot this subject on the spur of the moment, and you don't even have a script yet?"
Fang Xing pondered for a moment, paced back and forth on the stage with the microphone, and replied: "Yes, I did make a temporary decision to shoot this subject, and I did not have a meeting with the company team. To be precise, I
This decision was made twenty hours ago, which is why the press conference was so hasty."
Wow!
The scene was in uproar again.
This is big news.
The boss of Ark Culture suddenly decided to make a TV series about school bullying. He made the decision without communicating with anyone.
It is absolutely impossible to give up other entertainment companies for this kind of thing.
Entertainment companies and film and television companies in the industry have to prepare a project. They just have to hold meetings to discuss, establish the project, and polish the script. If they can start shooting in half a year, it will be considered fast.
However, Ark Culture only listened to Fang Xing's order and directly held a press conference. Even the top management of the company did not know what project it was planning to carry out.
Agitated News Reporter: "Why? What happened that made you suddenly make such a decision?"
Fang Xing pondered for a while and said: "The next words are what I want to say most today. I want to tell a story first. Don't interrupt me before I finish telling it."
The reporters at the scene knew that big news was coming, and they all listened with bated breath.
Fang Xing paced back and forth on the stage and began to preach:
"More than ten years ago, there was a boy who just entered junior high school. Because the middle school was far away from home, he started learning to ride a bicycle.
“I have a very old bicycle at home. The brakes don’t work, so I have to rely on my feet to slow down.
"After studying for a few days, the boy did something wrong.
"He has a cousin who has just entered elementary school and has just started to change her teeth. One of her front teeth is missing, and her smile is very funny.
"One day, his cousin pestered him and asked him to take her out on a bicycle.
“The boy had just learned to ride a bicycle and wanted to show off, so he drove his cousin on a wild ride on the river embankment road.
"Yes, riding a bicycle like crazy.
"As a result, it fell... Don't worry, everyone, although it was a wrong thing, it is not too tragic.
“My cousin lost another front tooth, so she didn’t have to go to the dentist.
"However, my arm hit the curb stone and made a gash. It was so long..."
When Fang Xing said this, he used his fingers to mark the length of ten centimeters: "Thirteen stitches were stitched, and the flesh and blood around the wound were blurred. After healing, the scar was very large.
"Since then, my cousin wears short sleeves in summer and wears half sleeves to cover this scar.
"More than ten years later, the boy and his cousin have grown up, and their lives are peaceful and fulfilling. The cousin is laughing and joking, careless, and does not seem to be affected by this incident.
"Until one day, the grown-up boy heard that his cousin had skipped classes and lost contact.
"Now that the story is over, please allow me to play a video first."
Fang Xing motioned to the staff to play the video they had prepared in advance.
The video is the one where Zhong Keke was dragged to the toilet by her classmates to bully her, filmed, and laughed at the scar on her arm.
The video has been processed and the faces have been coded.
If there is no coding, there may be legal risks.
Fang Jingzi wanted to make things clear, so he coded all the faces in the video.
As soon as the video came out, reporters, passersby, and fans present all knew what was going on.
The girl with the scar on her arm in the video is obviously the cousin in the story who was bullied by her classmates.
This fits perfectly with the theme of school bullying.
Seeing this, the scene became quieter and quieter.
Many passers-by even felt the same way and felt angry in their hearts, waiting quietly for Fang Xing to continue talking.
Fang Xing pointed to the video on the big screen and said, "This video was posted to a high school forum by a bully.
"Of course, the video has now been deleted because the school teacher found out and asked the bully to delete it and apologize.
“The bully did delete the video and apologized in front of the teacher.
"Some people may ask, since they have been deleted and apologized, this matter should be over.
"Yes, I also hope that things will end like this.
"The problem is, bullying never ends.
"This video was taken in October last year. It was deleted three days after it was posted and I apologized.
“However, the bullying lasted from October last year until yesterday, and it has never ended!
"That's right, I received a call at noon yesterday and heard that my cousin had lost contact, so I rushed back by train.
"That's why I suddenly decided to film a new drama yesterday!"
At the end of the sentence, Fang Xing almost shouted.
There were many passers-by at the scene, and the fans felt a bit sore.
What a hatred. From October last year to yesterday, the bullying lasted for half a year.
How strong does a girl have to be to endure such bullying for so long without breaking down?
Fang Xing took a few deep breaths and then said:
"Some people may ask, why not go to the school teachers and leaders?"
"That's a good question..."
Fang Xing took another deep breath, tried his best to regain his composure, and continued: "Yesterday at four o'clock in the afternoon, after I found my cousin, I took her to the principal's office of a high school.
"It's Saturday, the principal doesn't work.
"I asked a director of the school to call the principal.
"The principal came and threatened me that if we continued to make trouble, it would affect my cousin's college entrance examination.
"There are still two months until the college entrance examination. What can we do at this time?
“I said I wanted to go to the Education Bureau, but the office director quietly told me that the principal was transferred from the Education Bureau and had a strong background, so it was useless to go to the Education Bureau.
“Moreover, the principal and office director have been using the word ‘trouble’, assuming that we who are being bullied are making a fuss!
"I now solemnly tell this school leader that I will not make trouble and I will use my own way to change this situation.
"Yes, for a TV series, a TV series about campus bullying, my purpose is not just to find a place for my cousin to reason.
