Chapter 378: First confrontation, a small victory

At the end of "Bad Genius", Qin Feng successfully passed the college entrance examination, took out his father's medal again, wiped the dust off it, and prepared to apply for the police academy.

The rich second generation Pan Youping and Ge Shishi passed the exam successfully and were able to study in the United States.

As for Su Xiaolin, Qin Feng, who had just finished the college entrance examination, received her text message and the two met on the beach.

Under the blue sky and blue sea, a boy and a girl walked side by side, but there was an invisible barrier between them.

Su Xiaolin, who was expelled from school for cheating, has completely changed. She only wants to make quick money. This time she called Qin Feng over because she wanted to cooperate in cheating to continue making money and develop it into an industry.

Qin Feng didn't expect that she would get deeper and deeper into trouble, and he wanted to help Xiaolin.

However, looking at Qin Feng who wanted to "save" her, Su Xiaolin laughed and shook off his hand.

In Su Xiaolin's opinion, there was obviously a better opportunity, so why didn't Qin Feng seize it? This was simply a waste of his memory talent.

"Capital is like this, primitive accumulation is like this. If you want to get rich, forget about morality. That's something only rich people talk about. Did Pan Youping and Ge Shishi and their elders have to be clean when they made their fortunes? Aren't they clean now?"

Su Xiaolin looked at Qin Feng. There was no trace of shame on her face. Instead, she looked righteous, as if she had seen through some truths of this society.

“And do you think that if you don’t do this kind of thing, no one else will do it?
Those training and educational institutions that provide guidance to rich young men will do the same thing. They may even be bolder than us and have formed an industrial chain.

If they can make money, why can't we? Is it because they are organized and have set up companies?
We are also helping our classmates to improve, aren’t we?

At worst, we can use some of the money we earn to do good deeds. This can be regarded as taking from the people and using it for the people. In ancient times, this would be called a chivalrous thief!"

Su Xiaolin spoke eloquently, and at first glance her words actually made some sense and were very inspiring.

Obviously, before looking for Qin Feng, she had thought about it for a long time and had formed her own logic of action.

Faced with Su Xiaolin's "righteousness", Qin Feng closed his eyes, as if hesitating, or savoring the moment.

Finally he opened his eyes, looked at Su Xiaolin and said calmly:

“I actually don’t really like rich second-generations like Pan Youping, and I don’t think highly of him.

Of course, I don’t like myself becoming the person I hated the most.

This has nothing to do with good, evil, or morality, it's just that I am human and I think what I want."

Qin Feng said this with great determination, and even his stuttering defect disappeared miraculously, but neither of them noticed it.

"What a good I don't like it! What a good I think I think!"

Su Xiaolin laughed out of anger.

"You were the one who dragged me into this, and now you're pretending to be a good person. You've suddenly come to your senses and stopped doing it, and you even think that what I did is disgusting.

Qin Feng, you are so hypocritical! So hypocritical that it's disgusting!"

Qin Feng lowered his head and remained silent. Su Xiaolin was still not satisfied. She looked at Qin Feng and continued to sneer:

"And you don't have to pretend to be a moral role model in front of me. Don't you think I don't know?

The so-called money is just an excuse for you to cheat.

Qin Feng, you really enjoy the excitement of cheating! "

Su Xiaolin's words not only shocked Qin Feng, but also startled the audience in front of the big screen.

It was not until this moment that they finally understood what was so weird about the movie.

Because they had watched the movie "Detective Chinatown", they already had a certain impression of Qin Feng, so they didn't really believe that someone like Qin Feng would do something wrong for money.

But that's how the movie plays out, so they can only make a far-fetched claim that Qin Feng has not grown up yet and his mind is still immature.

It was not until Su Xiaolin explained the truth and linked it to what Qin Feng said during the police academy interview in "Detective Chinatown" that everyone suddenly realized.

“You enjoy it, enjoy its excitement, enjoy the challenge of the impossible task, enjoy the wisdom of being high above all others, and at the same time enjoy the joy of success.

Qin Feng, stop pretending, you are a perfect criminal, a genius criminal!"

Su Xiaolin moved closer to Qin Feng and suddenly held his hand.

"In this world, I am the only one who can understand you, so you don't have to suppress yourself in front of me.

With our combined intelligence and wisdom, we can live a better life and even do what we want to do with confidence and courage."

Su Xiaolin is like the poisonous snake that tempted Eve in mythology, speaking words that captivate the mind.

Qin Feng seemed to hesitate as well, and let Su Xiaolin hold his hand, remaining silent for a long time.

Although the audience knew that Qin Feng would be a good person in the end because they had watched "Detective Chinatown", at this moment, they still couldn't help but start to worry, fearing that such a smart and good person like Qin Feng would go astray.

Fortunately, Qin Feng did not disappoint everyone and did not let down his father's medal.

He firmly pulled out Su Xiaolin's hand.

"No... that's right, I do enjoy the excitement brought by committing crimes... I also enjoy the pleasure brought by breaking the rules, and I enjoy the superiority of having a higher IQ than others... but this does not mean... it means that I don't know what is good and evil, right and wrong.

I know it's not right, it's wrong, I know that very well in my heart.

I will not deceive myself or find high-sounding excuses to turn black into white and bad into good. "

Qin Feng said firmly:
"Xiaolin, we are all smart people, and a higher IQ gives us more possibilities.

But at the same time, we should also realize that it is also a bondage and a burden. Don’t be controlled by it. Be the master of wisdom! "

The young man and woman stood on the embankment by the sea, holding hands and facing each other. The salty sea breeze blew through their clothes, which seemed to symbolize their inner hearts, which were also wavering at this moment.

This is a confrontation between desire and reason, and also a confrontation between intelligence and wisdom.

"Haha, you really are such a person," Su Xiaolin smiled and pulled out her hand that was held by Qin Feng, "How can you persuade a girl like this? You just know how to talk about some big principles." Qin Feng pursed his lips. He knew that Su Xiaolin was not convinced by him, and he also knew that the other party would not give up.

"Well, since you don't want to, I won't force you." Su Xiaolin pushed her long hair behind her ears and smiled, "I hope you can have a wonderful college life. As for me, I will go to Japan to start over."

On the big screen, the two of them walked back to back on the snow-white embankment beside the blue sea, getting farther and farther away. The picture froze at this moment, which was both beautiful and a little regretful.

Even after the ending song sounded and the subtitles appeared, the audience still couldn't get away from the thrilling story and the missed relationship between the boy and girl.

Of course, watching the "Galaxy Cinematic Universe" series of movies and waiting for the post-credits Easter eggs may be another reason.

There are two Easter eggs in "Bad Genius", one of which is halfway after the end credits.

Qin Feng came to the police station. It seemed that because Su Xiaolin was going to continue cheating, he planned to surrender first, and then he met Shi Qiang, played by Wang Jingchun.

Shi Qiang accepted his surrender and took a record, then asked him to go back and wait for notification, and told him that because it involved violations of regulations and disciplines abroad, such matters were difficult to handle in China, but they would notify relevant foreign agencies.

However, after Qin Feng left, Shi Qiang sealed up all the records and files related to Qin Feng, and put a seal on the file bag and stamped it with "Top Secret".

The first Easter egg ends here. Just from this clip, we can see that Qin Feng himself has certain secrets. Even his life experience and his father’s sacrifice may have problems.

However, these questions can only be revealed one by one in the sequel of "Detective Chinatown".

The second easter egg happens on the plane at the very beginning.

The scene begins with a letter written by Su Xiaolin, who has already arrived in Japan, to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was reading the letter on the plane when he was suddenly slapped from the side, waking him up from his inexplicable emotions. Then, Tang Ren's signature loud voice rang out.

"Oh, don't be sad. After we finish our business in the United States, we can go to Japan and meet your girlfriend."

"No... not my girlfriend!" Qin Feng retorted quickly, his face flushed red, but his reaction seemed to be confessing himself.

Tang Ren didn't notice this, and said again:
“Also, you’ve been absent-minded ever since you were taken away by that group of people last time.

Besides, I was planning to pay back the money to Boss Ma when I went to the United States this time, but it turned out to be so sudden..."

"You don't want to go...you don't have to go." Qin Feng immediately retorted.

"Hey... you have no conscience. I am your uncle. Can I let you go to a foreign country alone?"

"Damn it!"

"Bad Genius" ended completely with the bickering between the two, and warm applause broke out in the screening room.

Wang Hao also stood up to send his blessings to the film's creative team.

"Great shot, Kuroko!"

He patted director Li Kui's shoulder vigorously, and then smiled at Bai Jingting, Li Qin and Guli Mizha. This made the main creators very happy. At least they were recognized by Wang Hao, the international director.

Another thing that also gave them recognition was the box office performance of "Bad Genius".

On just the first day, Bad Genius surpassed the previously released "Black & White" and earned nearly 20 million yuan at the box office, directly crushing this Taiwanese film.

This is not the end. In the following days, the promotion and publicity of "Bad Genius" was in full swing. Its box office continued to rise, and it even snatched away a lot of screenings from "Black & White", causing its already small box office results to plummet rapidly.

Wang Hao originally said that the "Zhao Zhen dispute" had come to an end, but the task of "cleaning up the house" was not over yet.

Now that he had decided to pick up the trash, how could he stop?

Using "Bad Genius" to attack "Black & White" is just an appetizer. One of the purposes is to promote the new director Li Kui of Galaxy Pictures by demoting the director of this movie, Cai Yuexun.

As for Huang Bo being affected by this incident, it can only be considered as his bad luck. Who made him star in this movie?

This can also be regarded as a reminder to other mainland actors to be careful when accepting movies in the future.

Of course, facing the "aggression" of "Bad Genius", the creative team of "Black & White" and the Taiwanese film and television circles were naturally unwilling to give in and also fought back.

First, many Taiwanese artists began to promote "Black & White" on their respective Weibo accounts, and then a big shot in the Taiwanese entertainment industry passed a message to Wang Hao through an intermediary.

As they said, harmony brings wealth in business, and they have no intention of confronting Wang Hao and Galaxy Pictures, so they hope Wang Hao will show some mercy and not make things too ugly.

Wang Hao could only say that they were dreaming. If they wanted to make money through harmony and develop things in a friendly way, they had to at least adjust their mindset.

They can't even get their mindset right. They clearly came to the mainland to make money, but they end up putting on a condescending attitude. The key point is that after they go back, they will slander the mainland. This is hard to accept.

Wang Hao did not respond to those who delivered the message, but after knowing his attitude, the Taiwanese entertainment circle immediately responded. Soon, negative news about "Bad Genius" went online.

For example, cheating will corrupt children, the movie story is too fake, the logic has loopholes, and the acting of the male and female protagonists is terrible.

Anyway, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, we have to criticize "Bad Genius".

Among them, some news newspapers and periodicals in the southern region made the biggest noise and were the most harsh in their criticism.

Galaxy Pictures certainly had a plan in place for this kind of backlash from public opinion and also launched a counterattack.

You know, the Taiwanese entertainment industry itself is a cesspool, and the remarks and actions of many Taiwanese artists are really disgusting.

In the past, due to the lack of channels for information flow between the two places, many gossips about Taiwanese artists were mostly unknown to mainland audiences, and people still had some filters around them.

But when the Galaxy Group brought in some gossip from Taiwan Province intactly, everyone suddenly realized what kind of monsters these people were.

The two sides are confronting each other on various media platforms while maintaining a certain degree of restraint.

This confrontational attitude has gradually tilted towards Galaxy Pictures as the domestic box office of "Bad Genius" has continued to rise, even breaking through 3 million yuan.

After all, in the entertainment industry, works are the bottom line. "Bad Genius" is of high quality and has a good story, so naturally there will be fans who like it.

As for "Black & White", the box office has not exceeded 50 million after ten days of release, which is enough to show its poor performance.
