Chapter 467
Hearing this, Saitama turned his head halfway and said with a look of disgust: "Ah? Why are you suddenly saying things like that? It's so disgusting..." Genos said firmly: "Even if the world doesn't recognize you, I will follow you, Teacher."
"... I don't need that kind of thing." After a brief silence, Saitama turned back around.
The figures of the master and disciple cast two long, slanted lines under the sunset.
They walked further and further away in the ruined city.
Episode 4, finished!
——.
"Hiss!"
Sitting beside Xu Feng and binge-watching the show while holding Igy, Yang Chaoyue sniffled her slightly sore nose and said with teary eyes: "Boss, you haven't had it easy."
"Huh?" Xu Feng raised an eyebrow.
"I always thought you were just a Teddy who went around rutting because you had talent. Only today did I realize you've been enduring so much criticism. I'm sorry, I won't spit in your tea anymore."
Perhaps because her tear threshold is low, when she said this, tears were already welling up in Yang Chaoyue's eyes.
Xu Feng was speechless, feeling that this girl had misunderstood something.
Actually, when watching the show, he also noticed that many viewers seemed to have some misunderstandings.
They felt he was using Saitama's mouth to expound on his own life philosophy.
Uh... although Xu Feng himself was also a fan of Saitama's speech in his previous life.
But the two of them are still a bit different.
Saitama doesn't care about others' evaluations at all.
But Xu Feng still cares; at least he has to pay attention to this matter.
After all, unlike Saitama, he has to earn money, so how could he not pay attention to public opinion?
However, he could take this opportunity to do some good marketing.
Thinking of this, Xu Feng smiled wickedly, took out his phone, and started posting a tweet.
Teacher Saitama, I'll borrow your lines for a bit.
Xu Feng V: #I didn't film for your evaluation; I filmed because I wanted to. If you want to hate me, then hate me all you want. # Once this tweet was posted, the comment section exploded.
【Brother Feng is awesome! This is how you should talk to those trolls and marketing accounts!】
【Just for this line, I forgive you for cuckolding me.】
【The person above is in fantasy mode again, right? How many wives do you have?】
【I feel like Teacher Saitama is a microcosm of Xu Feng. Xu Feng is also using Saitama to tell his own life philosophy. Saitama is a hero for fun, and Xu Feng is a director for fun!】
【I think that third-rate hero who slandered Saitama and those brain-dead masses who were incited were filmed by Xu Feng based on the image of trolls. When Xu Feng retorted to them, I found it so f***ing satisfying.】
【It's a pity, if Saitama had just killed them all, I think it would have been even more satisfying.】
【You above, are you obsessed? Although I also hate keyboard warriors, I wouldn't go as far as killing them all. Physical castration would be enough.】
【Satan would have to get a tattoo of you.】
【Genos is really too warm. If he were a female disciple, that would be a perfect kill.】
Saitama's declaration in the show and Xu Feng's newly released tweet caused a huge sensation online in one go... receiving collective praise from countless netizens.
To be honest, when Xu Feng won the Golden Eagle Best Actor award, he didn't receive this much praise.
Mainly because this plot resonated so much with the audience.
Saitama's reaction in the show to the situation of "good people deserve to have guns pointed at them" is completely different from those superheroes in the Lighthouse Country who suffer in silence.
Directly retorting "I don't care about your evaluation" couldn't be more satisfying.
If Spider-Man could be this carefree, he wouldn't have lived so stiflingly, right?
For a time, "One Punch Man," which had dropped to 8.9 on Douban, soared directly to 9.7. It feels like it's about to surpass the score of "Bleach: Arrancar Arc." Clearly, there's an impulsive voting factor involved.
But it also indirectly proves how much resonance Xu Feng's speech triggered among the audience.
And those trolls and marketing accounts who were originally bearish, and even clamored all day that "'One Punch Man' will collapse sooner or later," disappeared without a trace overnight.
Some were attacked by fans, while more silently deleted their accounts.
Waiting for Xu Feng to show a loophole next time before popping up again—standard operation.
But just as Xu Feng said.
I don't care about your evaluation.
If you want to slander, go ahead. I'll just take it as you contributing to my popularity.
And people in the industry also had their stereotypical impressions of Xu Feng shaken a little through this episode.
Could it be that they have really misunderstood Xu Feng all along?
Is he really a "director for fun" who has always been filming with the simple attitude of wanting to film?
Xu Feng never expected that he just borrowed a line from the Bald Devil, and it caused the entire entertainment industry to collectively "have their worldview shattered".
But that's not bad either.
For example, the attitude of his little assistant Yang Chaoyue toward him has been getting better and better in the last few days.
As if he were some kind of hero carrying a heavy burden in the dark.
It made Xu Feng himself almost think he was that great.
And with the continuous two-week update of "One Punch Man."
The May Day holiday period also arrived unknowingly.
The one that received the most attention on 1.6 was naturally the new movie rumored to be a collaboration between Xu Feng and Jay Chou.
However, when the poster was released, many people discovered that Xu Feng wasn't on the poster at all!
What is going on!?
Then, after searching the cast list at the bottom for a long time, they barely found Xu Feng's name written in the "Screenwriter" column. And at the very end of the cast list, a small line of text was written—Special Appearance: Xu Feng. Xu Feng wasn't actually the lead actor, which made the general fans who were looking forward to the two kings joining forces a bit unhappy.
After all, with the help of Saitama's impassioned declaration, Xu Feng's popularity had reached its peak in the last few days.
It felt like it could be mentioned in the same breath as the discussion level when Aizen betrayed in "Bleach: Soul Society Arc."
However, Xu Feng was quite satisfied with this poster.
He didn't want to be saddled with the blame of "false advertising."
Many movies have played this game.
Finding a big-name superstar to make a cameo.
Even though they only have a few minutes or even seconds of screen time, they firmly occupy the center position on the poster during promotion.
Those who don't know would think he's the male lead.
As a result, when they go in, they realize... holy s***, I've been scammed!
PS: Hu Ge got married. Fortunately, he didn't find someone in the industry.
If he had found a female character from my book, how awkward would that be. ===== CHAPTER 469 =====
