Chapter 402 I Don't Hate Being Famous, But I Hate Uncontrolled Publishing(2/2)
Also, people like Uncle Xu, even if they take a back seat, will definitely be busy with a lot of things and have a lot of people to meet. Even if they are free, they may not still remember him.
Therefore, even if he is a big shot, it is normal for him not to know Cao Zhiqiang's recent situation.
who are you?
Why does everyone have to stare at you?
In the final analysis, it was Cao Zhiqiang who thought too much.
After laughing at himself, Cao Zhiqiang calmed down and told what he had accomplished in the film studio.
"Really?" Uncle Xu asked in surprise, "You managed the film studio yourself?"
"I didn't do it myself." Cao Zhiqiang said, "Secretary Dong and Director Li of our factory helped. In addition, Director Shi of the Film Bureau was reasonable and wanted to carry out a pilot reform.
Coincidentally, our demands coincide with Director Shi's reform plan.
Our model of contract operation and self-financing is very suitable for pilot reform of film studios. Moreover, if a new film studio does not involve the old forces of the old film studio, there will be no impact even if it fails.
That's why I can set up a film studio so easily.
In the final analysis, it is all about taking advantage of the situation and the needs of the times, and I am also adapting to the trend!"
"Haha, that makes sense." Uncle Xu nodded, "But no matter what, your ability to take advantage of the situation and seize the general trend shows that you have a vision."
Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "This is just the beginning. Whether it will succeed or not depends on my specific operations. If the Hongguang Film Factory that I worked so hard to build does not run well and loses money, then it will be my problem."
Uncle Xu chuckled: "Reform always involves taking some risks. Since you know that and are still willing to set up a film studio, you must have been mentally prepared, right?"
"That's natural." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.
"Not bad, not bad. I like your entrepreneurial spirit." Uncle Xu chuckled, "You know, I helped you get the publishing house before, and your talent is only secondary. The key is that I like your fearlessness.
Enthusiastic.
Only people like you who have the courage to fear nothing from heaven and earth can create a new world and truly embark on the road of innovation."
Speaking of this, Uncle Xu sighed, as if he thought of something bad.
Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly: "Yes, I think so too."
Uncle Xu took a deep breath and smiled: "Okay, now that you have taken care of the film studio yourself, what else do you want from me?"
Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "Uncle Xu, the matter I came to ask you for this time is not about the film studio, but something else, or in other words, it is related to the report about me, the top scorer in the college entrance examination."
Next, Cao Zhiqiang explained the ins and outs of the matter in detail, and what he asked Uncle Xu to do was to control the news report within a certain scope, not to quote the report, and it was best to stop talking about the matter.
After hearing Cao Zhiqiang's true intention, Uncle Xu laughed: "Interesting, really interesting."
Immediately afterwards, Uncle Xu frowned, looked at Cao Zhiqiang sideways and said, "Xiao Cao, are you sure you're not here to show off to me?"
"Of course not." Cao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly, "If I wanted to show off, it wouldn't be like this. I really want you to find some connections and help me suppress the news, or in other words, don't continue to ferment it and let others deal with it.
What kind of advanced example have I become?
To put it simply, regarding my matter, just wait for the news in the Peking Youth Daily and don’t extend it further.
In other words, if other major newspapers, such as the People's Daily, want to report on me, please help me suppress it and don't report on me more."
"Then I don't understand." Uncle Xu said with a smile, "If the media reports on you, wouldn't that be a good thing? Don't you want to be famous?"
"I don't want to." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head.
"Hey!" Uncle Xu smiled.
"If you didn't want to be famous, would you still write books, sing, or even become a singer yourself and release records?
I heard that your album called "Blooming Life" seems to be selling very well recently.
Of course, this is normal. After all, I have seen your talents in song writing and singing. I had expected that you would achieve what you have today.
So, I'm confused. Since you've already become a singer and released records, and now you're the top scorer in the college entrance examination, why are you asking me to suppress the news for such an outstanding thing?
Let’s not talk about whether I can do this, but your motivation is very strange to me."
Cao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly: "I knew you would ask this, okay, then I'll make it clear."
Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang took a deep breath, then raised his head and said seriously: "Uncle Xu, let me be clear, I don't hate being famous, but I hate being famous without control."
"What does it mean to hate being famous without control?" Uncle Xu asked.
Cao Zhiqiang said: "That's right, whether I'm writing a book or releasing an album, I always use a pen name and a stage name.
In this way, everyone just knows that I am good at writing poems and novels, and I am good at writing songs and singing. What they really like are my works, and then they love the house and the bird. They like the me who created these works, or that symbol.
However, this is controllable fame, because I just give my talent and let my work be spread far and wide.
As for me personally, such as my private life, I can continue to hide it.
In this case, my life is controllable, and my behavior is also controllable. I am still free to do whatever I want, and no one will force me to do anything.
Of course, this freedom is subject to the constraints of laws, regulations and social customs.
However, if you look at this article that praises me for winning the top spot in the college entrance examination but giving up going to college, do you see any clues in this article?"
Uncle Xu was stunned, put on his reading glasses again, and read the article carefully again.
At this time, Uncle Xu squinted his eyes, obviously seeing the doorway inside.
"Do you understand?" Cao Zhiqiang said seriously.
“On the surface, this article is praising me, but in reality, it is using me as a weapon!
This is to use the fact that I got first place in the exam, but did not go to college, but continued to work in the factory, to guide the social atmosphere.
I just want everyone not to regard the college entrance examination as the only way for young people, and call on everyone not to be idle and idle, but to go out of the house, find a job within their ability, and work hard."
Uncle Xu nodded, took off his reading glasses, looked up at the serious-looking Cao Zhiqiang, and chuckled: "Why, isn't this good?"
"Okay, of course." Cao Zhiqiang said.
"But I'm afraid that the effect will be too good, and some big bosses will want to take the opportunity to push me out as a model.
This may be good for many people, but for me, it is really not good!
Moreover, I don’t think that in this day and age, this kind of typical guidance is really useful.
Don't push me out as a model, but in fact it has no effect on changing social trends, and it even makes me feel angry.
If you hold me up high when it's useful, and if you throw me down hard when it's useless, then I'll be really miserable!"
