Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Enthusiastic Citizen_1

Kolo Film and Television Media.

As a movie lover, Song Lan was no stranger to this company. Many of the superhero-themed movies he had seen were produced by this company, the most representative of which was the Black Sand series.

Over the past decade, Kolo Company has created nearly a dozen diverse superheroes and has been committed to integrating these superheroes from different social backgrounds into a grand universe.

However, unlike traditional superhero movies, many of the leading actors in Kolo Film and Television Media’s films are actual rescuers with special abilities. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have pushed the internet into an era of fierce debate among rescuer fans.

Regardless of the era, the power rating system has always been the primary driver of disputes.

Since Kolo Company did not provide a detailed power ranking in their film series, fans comparing the strengths of their favorite characters across films was a common occurrence. The stress of life in 2166 combined with any slight disagreement often resulted in vicious online exchanges.

Song Lan had seen numerous threads with thousands of posts resulting from arguments about power ratings.

Due to the unique nature of the actors in 2166, fans’ disputes often involved the actors themselves, giving rise to a bizarre method of determining power levels based on the actors’ real-life rescuer rankings.

At first, Song Lan carefully pondered whether this method of determining power levels was scientific. However, after a while, he came to understand a philosophical truth.

The hardcore fans who loved to argue about power levels may not be truly concerned about power levels at all. What they really wanted was just an opportunity to criticise people.

Therefore, despite his love for movies, Song Lan kept his distance from forums, discussion groups, and other such channels.

Even an ordinary office worker who seeks a peaceful life could not help but want to physically confront some people because of their remarks. Concerned about his mental health, Song Lan decided to avoid worldly disputes.

Regrettably, this time, the dispute found him.

When he learned of the crew’s request, he had a sensation of goosebumps.

Due to the nature of the content they were shooting for a new series, tentatively titled Enthusiastic Citizen.

The reason they needed a guide from the law enforcement department was to understand people’s views on the "Enthusiastic Citizen" and to inquire about law enforcement’s internal understanding of this character.

Song Lan never imagined that he would become the prototype of a movie character.

He had to admit the sense of these large corporations; it’s been less than a month since the emergence of the "Enthusiastic Citizen", and they had already begun preparations for a new movie.

The actor playing the role of the "Enthusiastic Citizen" was named Su Li, a three-star rescuer who had just transferred to acting and was a recent focus of Kolo Film and Television Media’s nurturing efforts.

The company’s decision to cast him in a role that had been the subject of intense recent debate truly demonstrated their support for him.

After picking him up, they exchanged pleasantries and headed straight for Kolo Film and Television Media’s branch in District 17. As a representative of the local law enforcement department, Song Lan was invited to participate in the script discussion meeting.

"Chief Song, what is the image of the ’Enthusiastic Citizen’ in your eyes?"

As soon as he sat down, the scriptwriter in charge of the project couldn’t wait to ask Song Lan. For Kolo Film and Television Media, deciding to use the ’Enthusiastic Citizen’ as a model was undoubtedly a bold move. In the core area, this character was highly controversial, especially under the relentless propaganda of the Foster Family, linking the "Enthusiastic Citizen" with the Rebel Army.

However, the more controversial the character, the easier it is to box office sales.

Characters that aren’t even discussed at all, in their view, have completely lost their appeal.

"Based on the profile provided by the Crime Analysis Department, the ’Enthusiastic Citizen’ in real life may be a very ordinary person with an inconspicuous job, living a quiet life every day..."

"An ordinary person?"

The scriptwriter frowned and interrupted Song Lan. This obviously wasn’t the answer they wanted to hear. "That’s too commonplace. It’s hard to create a contrast with the character, and it’s not what the audience wants to see."

Who are the audience of Kolo Media Company?

According to the profile provided by the marketing department, they are mostly hardworking individuals who can only watch a movie in their spare time and hope to project themselves onto the hero of the movie.

"What we need is something different from their everyday lives. For example, a serious and cold executioner in real life is actually a hedonistic playboy. This contrast would highlight the conflict in the plot."

You’re the playboy!

Song Lan couldn’t help but put himself in the picture. If he ever became a hedonist, he would likely face Lu Xiang’s whip.

Adhering to the principle of telling the truth, he logically analysed, "He wears a mask to hide his identity, and there has never been any information about this person in the law enforcement internal system. This all indicates that he leads a very low-profile life in reality."

"Even though he hides his identity, he might actually be a high-ranking executive or even the owner of a certain company. It’s possible that he decided to fight crime after witnessing the dark side of the city..."

As he spoke, the scriptwriter looked at the director, "What about the Pasro Company? They have invested quite a bit into this movie. It would also be beneficial for us to have positive publicity."

"That’s a good idea!"

The director’s eyes lit up, praising the scriptwriter, "Let’s tentatively set the identity as a high executive of Pasro Company."

Hearing this, Song Lan finally understood.

So the filming crew came with a mission. No wonder they insisted on the playboy persona and a backstory involving a large corporation.

This seems like a routine move to create contrast within movies, but underneath the surface are hidden motives.

The appearance of the "Enthusiastic Citizen" sparked a wave of opposition towards large corporations and families. Through this movie, they could subtly promote the idea that although some families and corporations have made mistakes, the person saving them also comes from within a large corporation.

This is still a top-down act of salvation.

Seeing that the scriptwriter and director ignored the profile from the Crime Analysis Department and arbitrarily decided on the background of the "Enthusiastic Citizen", Song Lan had to resort to his ultimate move.

Yes, yes, you all are right.

He needs to finish this quickly so that he can catch up on some sleep when he returns to the department.

Thus, after a morning of discussion, a high-ranking executive in a big corporation, a playboy who lavishes money around as if it were dust, an image despised by the common people, emerged. Yet even such a playboy had a strong sense of justice.

During the process, the director and scriptwriter gave high praise to Song Lan and even invited him to join the script creation process, but he declined due to his busy schedule.

There was a very simple reason for the high praise; he changed his conversation strategy and adopted a "whatever makes you happy" approach.

"Chief Song, today’s exchange was very pleasant. There may be other areas where we will need your help in the future."

Upon parting, the director shook hands with Song Lan.

"You’re too kind. It’s all due to your hard work,"

Song Lan responded smoothly, "I wish you success with your new film and hope it gets better and better."
