Towards the end, Fangzheng looked exasperated at Monkey for failing to live up to his expectations. Monkey scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Got it!"
"You will make breakfast! I'll sleep for a while. "With that said, Fangzheng entered the monastery and returned to his room to sleep. He was truly exhausted. He had visited several villages the entire night and had to recite a bunch of scriptures in each village. His throat no longer hurt, and he had nearly sprayed out all his saliva. His mouth was dry, and he was mentally exhausted. The moment he got into bed, he fell into a deep sleep.
The next two days were still peaceful. However, Fangzheng was already accustomed to such a life. He taught Lame Ma and Squirrel carving every day, and he made a huge recliner for Lone Wolf. He stuffed a mat made of Frost Bamboo into his nest.
Lone Wolf was having a great time. He sprawled on the mat and refused to come out no matter what happened outside. He stuck out his tongue and rolled around. He looked so comfortable as though he was high on drugs.
Monkey had a brand new broom made of Frost Bamboo. It was clearly a lot better at sweeping the fallen leaves than the old broom that was missing pieces. The only thing that pissed Monkey off was that he didn't need to sweep the fallen leaves after striking the bell. Why did it become his job after all the twists and turns? There was no way to reason with him …
After such a long period of rain, the groundwater near Mt. One Finger was already saturated. With the villagers consciously conserving water and no longer pumping water for irrigation, the land near One Finger Village rapidly recovered its vitality. There was an aura of life everywhere, and it was brimming with vitality.
Of course, One Finger Village also faced quite a bit of trouble. The other villages also wished to plant Frost Bamboo and came to request for seeds. Wang Yougui couldn't stand the sentiment and agreed. Unfortunately, none of the Frost Bamboo they chopped survived … So the matter was left unsettled.
However, One Finger Village's tourism development also gave them a taste of the benefits. The tourists who passed by had a great demand for fruits and green vegetables. Their lives became a lot more relaxed. Furthermore, Lame Ma taught carving techniques, so many people went to learn from him. Carving something out of it was another source of income.
In short, all the villages near Mt. One Finger were changing silently. The lives of the people also improved.
At the same time, there was a hurricane in the film industry!
The movie City-Toppling Beauty was finally going to be released! It had been advertised a month ago, but Fangzheng had only taken a glance back then and thought nothing of it. Today, there were all kinds of big promotions. It was hard not to notice.
In fact, if not for the overwhelming number of advertisements, Fangzheng would have forgotten about it. When he suddenly saw the huge notice on the homepage, a memory flashed through his mind. Following that, he blushed and shook his head. That embarrassing memory dissipated …
Fangzheng casually clicked on the news related to City-Toppling Beauty. In the past, Fangzheng seldom paid attention to news related to movies and dramas. He would usually go straight to the Buddhist website, but today was different. He had participated in a movie after all. Although he had only appeared briefly, he had given up. Furthermore, the film crew had left a deep impression on Fangzheng. The people in the film crew were nice, and they could be considered friends. They would greet each other during festivals. Furthermore, the female lead of the drama, Li Xueying, who played the role of Hua Mulan, had a very good relationship with Fangzheng. This could be considered the work of one of them.
When he opened it, the promotion was on point, but the comments below made Fangzheng frown.
"Are we going to stir up trouble again?"
"Although Li Xueying is great, this show has been shot too many times. There are too many people shooting it. What's the point of repeating it over and over again?"
"What's Li Xueying thinking? Why did she take on such a show? Is she trying to ruin her own reputation? "
"She can't get a good show overseas, so she returns to film a crappy movie to earn money? I dare say that it would be fine if this show isn't screened, but if it's screened, it's doomed! Li Xueying's reputation will also be ruined. "
"She's destroying herself."
…
It was almost one-sided and all the comments were negative!
Fangzheng had read City-Toppling Beauty's script. Although it was also about Hua Mulan, the script was different from other dramas. It not only highlighted women's rights that were not inferior to men, but it also reflected the cruelty of war! It used the cruelty of war to promote anti-war propaganda! At the same time, it had an intense sense of patriotism that could not be dispelled! If one were to watch the drama carefully, they would automatically ignore Li Xueying and Hua Mulan's identities as women. They would only treat it as a patriotic story of blood shed on the battlefield and youth buried at the borders!
The drama was very hot-blooded but also very cruel. There was despair amidst the depth, but there was hope amidst the despair! It was definitely a good show!
However, when he saw the comments below, they were all negative. Fangzheng was completely baffled. These people had not even watched the drama, so why did they all come out to criticize the drama?
Of course, there were Snow Eagle fans who supported Li Xueying. However, their voices were clearly suppressed and could not be shouted.
"Regardless, Li Xueying is the main actress. She still has to buy the tickets. However, if it's not good, she won't be buying Li Xueying's tickets in the future. "
"I wish Li Xueying good luck."
"Queen Snow Eagle, all the best. I'll definitely buy the tickets for you!"
…
The next day, Fangzheng opened the webpage again. The comments that were originally expressing their opinions were now filled with hostility. Snow Eagle fans and Li Xueying haters began to bombard each other. The scene was extremely heated as all sorts of curses were posted …
Fangzheng shook his head slightly and opened WeChat to take a look. The film crew's WeChat group was filled with anger.
"How can these people do this? They said it without even watching it. "
"The few videos that were released previously had quite a good response. Why did the wind suddenly change? Why are there so many brainless haters?"
"Perhaps our opponents are messing with us."
"This can't go on. If this continues, it will definitely affect the box office."
"How depressing …"
At that moment, Li Xueying appeared. "Alright, everyone, don't worry. If they want to quarrel, let them. Don't we know what we're doing in the movie? Although this round of bombardment will have some effects, I believe that the final victory will definitely belong to us! I, Li Xueying, have never lost. Not in the past, and not now! "
"Queen Snow Eagle, how domineering! I suddenly have confidence again. "
"All the best! Everyone, let's mobilize the fans to counterattack. "
“GOGOGO！”
…
Then, the comments section became even more heated. There were many parties fighting, and it became more and more chaotic …
Fangzheng also knew that many movies would choose to use money to hype up the drama. The scene in front of him made Fangzheng suspect if it was a hype. If it was, it would be a successful hype. If it wasn't, it would be a disaster for Li Xueying and company … Cursing wasn't scary, but cursing one's name would get tired after a long period of cursing. After cursing, all that was left was reputation. It was also because of these strange rules on the Internet that many people would rather make a fool of themselves in order to become famous. Even if they were to go down in history, they still wanted to be famous … With regards to this, Fangzheng was helpless. It was impossible for a person to change the world alone. All he could do was influence the people around him bit by bit. What if there came a day when he really changed the world?
With this in mind, Fangzheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was daydreaming again.
At that moment, Fangzheng received a private message.
