"Mr. Chen, please make an evaluation of your gamble with Warren!"

"Tell me about it!"

"Can we ask you for an interview?"

Reporters gathered downstairs at Chen Fan's house, and on the periphery there was a group of protesting American civilians, holding placards and protesting loudly.

Chen Fan walked out of the apartment building with a smile on his face, and he didn't mean to respond to the reporter's questions, and of course he didn't mean to pay attention to the protests.

Opening the car door parked on the side, Chen Fan immediately got into the car waiting on the side of the road, and it was Mark who was sitting in the car.

Mark is a little helpless now and has some regrets, he regrets a little that he came up with such a way to go off the rails, and let Chen Fan implement it.

"What's wrong? Why do you have such a bad face? Chen Fan's face did not become worse because of the situation outside, abnormally, he seemed very happy.

Mark wiped his face and took a few deep breaths, "Is my face really that ugly?" You know, when I was young, I still wanted to be an actor. ”

"You should be glad that you changed careers and became a director......"

"Well, seriously, aren't you really worried about the situation at all?" Mark asked earnestly, "I think the situation is getting a little out of control right now, Warren. Hardy's influence shouldn't be so great, is there anyone else behind it? ”

Warren. Hardy didn't cut that episode, and it caused an uproar when it aired, because Chen Fan touched the sensitive nerve of Americans, who believe that the United States is the freest country and the example of a free world.

Chen Fan's remarks stimulated them...... In fact, Chen Fan was telling the truth. This country that claims to be the freest still has racism, sexism and, above all, it spies on everyone!

The pure American people have selectively ignored this, accusing the dictatorship of brainwashing. I don't know that I have actually been brainwashed, these people think that they are 'free' in their heads, and if they are not 'free', they are evil, and they have never thought that their freedom is actually false......

It didn't take long for someone to launch a protest against Chen Fan, and some people even held up slogans that read "Please shut up the Chinese people...... They didn't think that Chen Fan's power to speak was actually what they called 'freedom'. When they don't like to hear what Chen Fan says, they oppose this kind of 'freedom'. I really don't understand what 'freedom' is in these people's heads.

Of course, Chen Fan didn't pay attention to these people, and if someone protested, naturally the media would come to report. Immediately, Chen Fan's name and photos appeared in the news and talk programs, and these programs seemed to be agreed, ignoring the fact that Chen Fan was having a movie to be released.

That's exactly why Mark thinks there are people behind it. The competition between the American media should not be too fierce, and the rush for news and ratings is almost exhaustive. How can a tacit understanding be formed automatically? Someone must have coordinated it in the back.

Thinking about who has such strength again, Mark thought of a possibility, but he didn't dare to say it...... He still had a hint of luck and didn't want to face reality.

The mastermind behind this may well be the government of the United States! Only the American government has such strength!

It is said that the media in the United States are free and they are the overseers of the government, but this is only superficial, because in the final analysis, the boss behind both is one person, and the media is ostensibly not regulated by the government. In fact, sometimes there is a tacit understanding between the two.

"Today's conversation, I think there is a bad result." Mark worried. Soon they will have to negotiate with the filmmakers.

When the turmoil came out this time, the film companies began to worry about the box office of the film, and they planned to cut the number of films scheduled. Of course Chen Fan and Mark will not agree, there is no film schedule, how can they hit the box office?

Chen Fan looked calm: "It's okay, we try to persuade them, if the persuasion is unsuccessful, then forget it." ”

"Forget it? You're with Warren. What about Hardy's gamble? Mark was surprised.

"Gamble? If you lose, you lose, here I lose, and I win more elsewhere. Chen Fan said with a smile.

"Won somewhere else? Where? Chinese? Mark looked puzzled, "The market in Huaxia is big enough, but it hasn't been reviewed yet...... The release is still a question, why are you so confident? ”

"Don't worry, our movies will be released, in Huaxia, censorship is never a technical issue, you understand?"

"You mean to say that because of your remarks in the United States, the Chinese government will relax the standards of censorship?" Mark was surprised and asked, "Is this possible?" ”

"How could it not be? As I said, China is freer than America. I mean it. Chen Fan said seriously.

"How can this be called freedom?!" Mark was reluctant to say: "Although I don't like the American government, but no matter how you say it, Huaxia can't be considered free!" ”

"It's not like you haven't been to Huaxia, can't you feel it yourself?" Chen Fan asked rhetorically.

Mark was stunned for a moment, and then thought back to what he had experienced in Huaxia...... To be honest, except for the eyes full of Huaxia people and square words everywhere, he really didn't feel that there was anything unfree about Huaxia.

Then he thought about it again, Chen Fan did not mean this country but this government, and then thought back to the actions of the Huaxia government, and he suddenly found that the flexibility of the Huaxia government was actually higher than that of all countries!

Yes, it can break some conventions for its own benefit, and even strictly speaking illegal acts, its government dares to do it! As long as it is beneficial to itself, and the interests are big enough, its government can really do anything! Isn't that free?

"Well, I believe you. The Huaxia government can indeed treat you specially! Your words today have broken all my previous common sense! Mark Yan said that he had never discussed this matter with Chen Fan, and today was the first time he had talked about this topic, and today's statement broke many of his previous stereotypes.

Chen Fan smiled and said: "There is too much turmoil in the world, especially in this era of information explosion, too much information impacts people's brains, which will make us lose the ability to think, because the opinions you can think of, the Internet and news have already given you." People's laziness is given by the brain, and with ready-made things, the brain will of course degenerate, and then people will slowly lose the ability to think. ”

Mark was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "Don't you say it so scary, okay?" According to you, will the humans of the future become idiots? ”

Chen Fan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Smart people will get smarter and smarter, and stupid people will get more and more stupid." Don't you think that's familiar? ”

"Familiar? It is indeed somewhat familiar, and it was true in the era when education was not yet universal, but now that education is so popular, there will still be such a situation, I don't think it is possible. Mark retorted.

Chen Fan looked out the window at the demonstrators who had been blocking the car's progress and said: "What is happening now can actually be found in history. Is there any difference between these people and illiteracy who will only accept the opinions set by others, but cannot produce their own opinions? ”

"At least they can go to school and study!" Mark retorted.

Chen Fan smiled slightly: "That's true, but after reading it, how many people can understand the meaning?" Or do you think for yourself? In the future, information will become more and more developed, and human time is limited, when you put time into receiving information, how much time can you think for yourself? If you can't think, how can you be a smart person? ”

Mark nodded, a person who doesn't have the ability to think, no matter how smart he is, how much can he achieve? Even if he doesn't have much knowledge, he has his own unique thinking ability and forms his own unique ideas, such a person can become a unique person.

"Well, let's not talk about that!" Mark decisively ended the topic, and there was no result in continuing to talk about it, "Let me do the negotiation later, the filmmaker may not be polite to you, and they have also spent a lot of money on the promotion of the movie. ”

Theaters and distribution companies still value Chen Fan's movie, although the protagonist is an Oriental, but the quality of the film is excellent, so they also spent a lot of money to promote it. As soon as Chen Fan's remarks came out, their investment was likely to be wasted, and these businessmen would definitely be unhappy.

Chen Fan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you." ”

The crowd of demonstrators, whose cars had finally broken away with great difficulty, began to accelerate as soon as they drove on the road, and after more than half an hour, they arrived at a five-star hotel.

When I entered the hotel, I went directly to the conference room in the hotel.

Mark frowned as he walked into the conference room, as the people inside weren't who he had imagined.

"Only you?" Mark's tone was a little unhappy.

"Yes, our supervisor doesn't have time, and I'm in charge of this now." The other party sat on the sofa and didn't mean to stand up, and spoke with a hint of arrogance.

Mark sat opposite the man with a cold face, and Chen Fan walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the scenery outside the window.

"Harry, it's not that I look down on you, you're just at the level of a supervisor, what qualifications do you have to talk to me?"

Harry's face turned cold and said, "Mark, it's not the same as before. Do you know how caught off guard when making such statements?! We did not unilaterally announce the cessation of cooperation, which is already to give you face! Only a fool will only care about talking happily to himself, and not think about the loss of his collaborators! ”

Chen Fan looked out the window, and he said lightly: "Are you saying I'm a fool?" ”

"That's right! You can only do it by a fool! Harry retorted loudly, and with a look of arrogance on his face!

Mark's face was full of anger and he just wanted to scold, Chen Fan turned around and glanced at Harry lightly and said, "You repeat what you just said!" (To be continued......)
