Chapter 345 Netizens are angry
There is a topic on Zhihu in later generations: Does the so-called "Wanwan Capital" really exist in the entertainment industry?
Of course!
Zhang Chen has the memory of later generations and clearly knows that the so-called "Wanwan Capital" does exist, although he may not necessarily be called by that name.
The most obvious ones are Wu Baige and Zhao Youting.
Zhao Youting's situation is actually very similar to Jingtian's, a standard 'resource guy'.
As soon as they appear, they are all male protagonists.
"Search", "Di Renjie", "Nine-Storey Demon Tower" and "To Youth" are all considered good resources, and he won the leading role in them all.
Prior to this, there was no such person in the mainland entertainment industry.
After that, it jumped directly to the front line.
A line that has been forcibly promoted by capital.
The only difference between him and Jing Tian is that the forces behind him understand the rules of the entertainment industry better, and they also know how to maintain reputation while accepting films. As a result, although his performance is also very stiff, it does not fall apart.
Wu Baige is in another form. In his "Red Cliff", he specifically uses Zhao Yanzi to praise Lin Zhilin.
When I signed the contract, I told Zhao Yanzi that I was the heroine. When the final film was cut, I became a supporting role. However, Kurosawa's scenes were outrageous.
It’s really just bullying that the mainland film market has just opened and people don’t understand these chores.
This situation would never happen in the United States.
There is a template when signing a contract. The heroine contract will strictly require the duration of the scene and so on. You can cut it into a supporting actress and wait to be sued.
To put it bluntly, what people are playing with is poor information.
Use the knowledge you learned from Hollywood to come back and bully the mainlanders.
At the "Painted Skin" celebration party, she even didn't even try to hide it. Wu pointed at Chen Jiashang's nose and scolded, "You have to be responsible for the rise of mainland actors."
We do have a responsibility. It was only after "Painted Skin" that the Mainland realized that our Mainland actors can also play leading roles.
It was only then that the superstition that only Hong Kong and Taiwan actors could compete at the box office was broken.
So in a sense, "Painted Skin" is a milestone.
What Zhang Chen is doing is to wake up domestic filmmakers in advance and make them realize this, but it seems that some people don't appreciate it and are still very dissatisfied.
But Zhang Chen doesn't care, this can be considered a burden for the time traveler to move forward.
Mrs. Chen mentioned Zhang Chen's parents in her remote response. This stepped on Zhang Chen's red line, and Zhang Chen was ready to show his sword.
But before the sword was revealed, something broke in advance - "A Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun".
In just one day, "Steamed Buns" spread like a virus and quickly swept the entire Internet.
Tianya, Maopu, and Baidu Tieba are all reprints of "Steamed Buns", and as soon as they appear, they are pinned to the top, and the number of clicks increases rapidly.
The reason is simple - Chen Xi spent money on promotion.
Initially, it was promoted as a smokescreen to disrupt vision.
Look, not only Zhang Chen is talking about you, there are others who are talking about you, and they are even more serious.
Later, Zhang Chen changed his mind and planned to have a showdown with Chen Daodao. At that time, the promotion of "Steamed Buns" had already been completed.
Internet trolls always only guide when doing things. If you ask them to stop in the middle, they won't be able to stop.
Besides, there is no need to stop. The purpose of "Steamed Buns" is to satirize "The Promise" and it belongs to the friendly forces.
During the promotion, the technical staff informed Chen Xi that it seemed that besides them, there were other people promoting "Steamed Buns".
Chen Xi didn't know who it was, but he could guess that it was most likely related to other movies released at the same time.
Original and empty, the popularity of "Steamed Buns" depends entirely on tap water.
Hu Ge wanted to vent at the beginning. He wrote a film review of "The Promise" and found that no one clicked on it, so he cut out "Steamed Buns" out of anger, and it became popular out of nowhere.
By the time he reacted, the entire network knew about it.
He was a little scared. He was originally thinking about how to cool down the heat, but he didn't expect that Director Chen's words, "You can't be so shameless", directly made "Steamed Buns" even more popular.
……
In the Chen Mansion, the poet and his wife were sulking. Suddenly someone trotted nearby and whispered something to Mrs. Chen.
Poet Chen was very upset and couldn't help scolding him: "If you have anything to say, please speak openly. There are no outsiders here..."
The assistant was scolded and could only say: "We found that someone on the Internet made malicious edits to our "The Promise"..."
"Malicious editing?" Director Chen frowned. He couldn't figure out how to be malicious.
"Bring it to me and see~"
Originally, Mrs. Chen didn't want the poet to know these things, as they were secular matters, but the poet had already spoken, so he could only nod slightly to the assistant.
After a while, a laptop was placed in front of the two of them, and the assistant clicked the play button.
'A little steamed bun caused a shocking murder. A child who was supposed to be innocent actually held a grudge for 20 years because of a steamed bun. What made his tolerance so fragile and his heart so twisted?
A public security officer was ordered to arrest a criminal, but in the end he became good friends with the criminal. Why is this?
Anqing is complicated and confusing, and the truth was not revealed to the world until the last moment. Please watch the year-end special edition of "Rule of Law Online": "A Murderous Case Caused by a Steamed Bun"...'
Seeing this, Director Chen couldn't stand it anymore. The movie is like his own child to him. How can a parent not be angry when his own child is maliciously arranged in this way?
"Who did this?"
"...a...netizen, I saw it on station B. It is very popular now..."
Director Chen is a second-generation film actor with a well-established background, and he became famous at a young age. He has always been surrounded by people who coax him, but he has never been arranged like this. He just feels like his face is being thrown to the ground and stepped on.
He suppressed his anger and continued to read down, and even looked through the comments.
I thought that someone with insight would stand up and denounce this kind of prank, but no, the comments were more ridiculing "The Promise".
'This video is amazing. I never understood the plot of "The Promise", but after watching this video, I actually understand it. ’
'Okay, okay, I just thought "The Promise" was bad after watching "The Promise", but I can't explain exactly why it was bad. After watching "Steamed Buns", I finally understood that "The Promise" is boring x2...'
'Author, I suggest you take the screenwriting test. I think your interpretation is much better than the story of "The Promise" itself...'
Snap~
Director Chen slapped the table hard, already extremely angry.
"I want to sue him, I want to sue him..."
"Old Chen, calm down, don't make yourself so angry..."
Mrs. Chen was also angry, but she was more afraid that her long-term meal ticket would be ruined, so she kept comforting her.
"People cannot be so shameless..."
"Okay, Old Chen, don't be angry, I will arrange for someone to sue this website right away..."
"But..." The assistant hesitated to speak.
"If there's anything else, don't hide it~"
The little assistant was hesitant, but when he saw two pairs of angry eyes on the opposite side, he finally said: "Not only this B station, Maopu, Tianya, Baidu Tieba, many places have reposted this..."
"Then sue these websites together..."
……
On the same day, a statement from Chen Kaige and his wife appeared on TV. Facing the camera, Mrs. Chen spoke sternly: "The producers of "The Promise" criticized Hu Ge for editing the original work "The Promise" through video without permission and maliciously vilifying "The Promise". We are very angry. This is not only a serious infringement of the copyright and intellectual property rights of "The Promise", but also has caused great damage to the director's reputation and the box office of "The Promise". It has a very bad impact on the audience. We will resolutely sue. ! ”
Poet Chen even made a bold statement with a face full of indignation: "No one will be able to understand "The Promise" in ten years..."
In fact, it was pretty good, at least I didn’t scold the audience as ‘rubbish viewers’!
But that didn’t work either. Netizens began to ridicule:
The food cooked in the school cafeteria tastes bad and we throw it away, but the school says we are wasting food!
It’s okay if you feed us shit, now we just want to have fun, and you have to take care of it too?
Why, only the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps? Can't you say you made a bad movie?
A ticket costs 80 yuan, but it is not as clear as a short video. I doubt whether "The Promise" is a new type of fraud!
"Hero" is also a bad movie, but at least it tells the story clearly. "The Promise" is just a bunch of excuses...
Zhang Chen was originally typing his second blog post, and was very excited when he discovered what was going on online. This was the first time he had eaten melon in person since time travel. He felt like he was witnessing history, and was inexplicably excited.
Keep reading, someone has spoken:
I really didn’t understand it. Director Chen said that no one would understand it in ten years. I just couldn’t figure it out. Since it was filmed for people in the future, why should it be shown now?
Well, this should be a Tianjin netizen.
Netizen, you should hide local customary words, which will help hide your identity.
Chen Xi's movie called again at this time: "Have you seen the statement issued by Director Chen?"
"I see, Director Chen should feel a little betrayed by everyone now."
It is indeed a case of betrayal and separation. Yesterday, Zhang Chen was just criticizing the casting issue. Today, the movie was pranked again. After the key statement was issued, netizens immediately took sides with each other.
What's going on? I'm the people's artist.
"Actually, he shouldn't have done this..." Chen Xi felt that his opponent this time was a bit inferior, as if a professional was bullying an amateur.
"With the huge traffic of "Steamed Buns", if it can be guided correctly, it may not be able to help "The Promise". The audience's curiosity has been aroused, even if it is to see whether "The Promise" is as "Steamed Buns" said Ah, people will buy tickets to watch too
Now he said he wanted to sue Hu Ge, which directly caused a backlash from netizens. Not only was this wave of traffic unable to be converted, but he also lost his audience popularity. "The Promise" also lost its only chance to break 200 million. ”
After saying this, Zhang Chen looked at Chen Xi with admiration.
She is worthy of being a strong woman in the future. She does have a way. She has only been in charge of the Navy team for a long time, and she has already figured out the secrets in it.
What Director Chen did this time was indeed inappropriate, but if we analyze his living environment, we can understand why he did it.
Who is Director Chen? He is from a film family.
Making a movie is a huge difficulty for others, but for Director Chen, it is a part of life.
Those experts, scholars, and well-known screenwriters are all good friends of his father, and they also watched him grow up...
In the past, the film industry was a very closed circle, and others could not get in if they wanted to.
Making a movie is a privilege, and there is no need to consider the box office. Movies are art, and those people can often work hard for a shot regardless of the cost.
Director Chen grew up in such an environment, so he has no concept that commercial films need to please the audience.
After joining the WTO, after seeing the results of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero", he also wanted to make another one, but he still used the same old ideas.
In the past, the Film Association, Writers Association, and Federation of Literary and Art Circles just agreed on the film, but who would consider the audience?
If you don't like watching it, don't watch it, but please shut up, "The Promise" is not for you to evaluate.
