Chapter 63: Is it the distortion of human nature or the decline of morality?
That evening, not long after the education blogger’s live broadcast began, the crew members noticed it and shared it in the crew’s WeChat group.

The silent group was like water falling into an frying pan, exploding with crackling sounds.

Amid the indignant 99+ messages, everyone was panicking.

Since they started filming "Ultraman", although there have been some disturbances, they have never seen a crisis of this magnitude. Almost the entire network is black, which is comparable to a tsunami that devastates everything.

A girl from the crew couldn't stand it and said a few words in the live broadcast room, and as a result she was banned and kicked out.

That wasn’t enough. Her Weibo account was posted online and attacked by countless crazy parents. She was so upset that she had to uninstall it.

Many fans of Ultraman also spoke out, but without exception, they all talked about their experiences with the girl from the crew.

Shen Ming looked at the news scrolling frantically in the group, wondering who was targeting them, his face gloomy.

Things have developed to this point, and it is no longer important to worry about who is behind the incident. What is important is how they can calm the anger of the parents.

Parents are different from netizens in that they directly represent the audience.

Once a play has no audience, it loses its original meaning of existence.

Shen Ming first called Jin Cheng and asked him to contact a lawyer to prepare a lawyer's letter. "We absolutely cannot bear the blame for misleading minors. We must first make our attitude clear to the public. In addition, you asked Sun Rui to find out who Li Sufen is in this live broadcast. I don't believe a word she said in front of the camera. We have to find out the truth ourselves. It would be best if we can contact the daughter she mentioned."

When Jin Cheng heard Shen Ming's orderly arrangements, his heartbeat, which had accelerated due to panic, slowly recovered.

God knows when he saw parents all over the internet boycotting Tiga and demanding that it be removed from the shelves, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

The development of the drama "Ultraman Tiga" has now become not only a sequel to the graduation project of these three college students, but also represents the livelihood security of hundreds of people in the crew.

They are responsible for hundreds of employees.

Jin Cheng agreed immediately, "I understand. Contact me anytime if there is any progress."

After hanging up the call with Jin Cheng, Shen Ming called Joanna again. At that time, she was in contact with several water army public relations. Shen Ming called several times before he got through.

"Anna, what did the PR team say?"

Joanna typed quickly on the keyboard, confronting the crazy parents, and at the same time, she held the phone between her shoulders and talked to Shen Ming, "I offered three times the price, and they finally agreed to sell, but the situation is not optimistic. These parents are too aggressive, it's crazy."

"But don't worry, Senior Brother. I am controlling several trumpets at the same time, and I am sure they can help us turn our image around."

Shen Ming hesitated for a moment and stopped her: "Confronting netizens online is only a temporary solution, you should study the previous videos of that education blogger. They are attacking us, so we have to find their loopholes."

Joanna is good at things related to scarves.

She agreed, and then called Shen Ming softly, "Senior Brother."

Shen Ming thought there was something she didn't understand, so he didn't hang up the phone for the time being.

Warm summer night.

The cold moonlight poured in from the window, casting small grid-like reflections.

Shen Ming looked outside through the window and felt that life was like a pigeon cage.

If you want to go to a more distant world, the only way out is to break the lock and escape from the cage.

Today, this is both a crisis and an opportunity.

At this moment, Joanna's voice suddenly sounded in my ears:

"Brother, I wanted to be an actor before because I thought stars were beautiful, I liked the camera, and I liked the feeling of being sought after. But now I still want to be an actor, an actor in our crew. So, our crew will definitely not disband, right?"

Shen Ming was a little surprised that Joanna had thought of so much.

But soon, he assured her in a firm tone: "The crew is my dream, and it is also the guarantee of everyone's life. For everyone, I will do my best to keep it!" "Me too!" Joanna shouted with a little cry.

After hanging up Joanna's call with emotion, Shen Ming dialed the last number.

"Chu Tai, have you seen the news online?"

On the other end of the phone, Chu Guoming hummed in a low voice, and then there was no further words.

Shen Ming sensed something was wrong from this abnormal silence and asked, "Chu Tai, is there something wrong?"

Chu Guoming was silent for a moment and sighed, "Shen Ming, there is something you may need to be mentally prepared for."

Shen Ming's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.

Then, Chu Guoming continued, "I just received a call from the manager of Aurora Video. They said they want to terminate the contract and stop broadcasting Tiga. The penalty has already been paid."

So fast?
Shen Ming frowned, his intuition told him that there must be something fishy going on here.

Chu Guoming guessed, "It might be those parents on Weibo who are causing trouble. I saw that the official account of Jiguang Video is full of messages asking for a boycott and ban. The public opinion is not in our favor."

Shen Ming still felt something was wrong. It had only been three hours since the incident broke out, and Aurora Video had acted too quickly. It was as if they were certain that they would be banned and were eager to distance themselves from the matter, fearing that they would be implicated.

How much of this will be contributed by Blue Ocean TV?
Shen Ming took a deep breath to keep himself calm, and continued: "Chu Tai, are you willing to continue broadcasting the eighth episode tomorrow?"

Chu Guoming asked back: "Why? Our Starry Sky Station has just been pulled back from the brink of bankruptcy. Do you think I am such an ungrateful person? Moreover, nothing is set in stone yet. It is not certain who will win or lose."

"Young man, keep going."

Shen Ming mustered up his courage and replied firmly: "We will definitely win this battle."

However, it turns out that momentum is important sometimes.

But capital and luck are equally important.

Early the next morning, Blue Ocean TV's morning news channel launched a live interview program with passers-by.

The news anchor spoke in a fierce tone, as if he was condemning some evil person who had committed heinous crimes.

However, what she reported was the incident of Ultraman Tiga being scolded during the live broadcast last night.

Behind her, clips from Ultraman were playing in a loop, all of them were bloody fights.

There are eight light wheels that dismember the body.

Some people tore the monster's wings with their bare hands, and blood splattered.

There are also monsters that are thrown to death.

There is very little content about Ultraman Tiga, but no one cares about this small detail.

In their eyes, all Ultraman are the same.

People care more about what the host says.

"In the recently popular Ultraman Tiga, there are many scenes of armed beatings, bloody violence, and the content is simply unbearable to watch. I feel horrified after watching it."

"And such a dangerous cartoon is actually a work for children. Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality?"

"Children under ten are full of curiosity about the world and often imitate the actions and plots of the characters in the animation. As for what kind of troubles this animation has brought to children and parents, I believe everyone will make their own judgment after watching the on-site interview."
