Chapter 346 The scolding war resumes
On the Internet, the voices criticizing "The Promise" continue, and many people have joined in.
In an interview, Eric Tsang publicly stated: “I don’t understand why Director Chen Kaige did this?
These are all insignificant things. Many Hong Kong movies have been turned into funny videos. This shows that some people are paying attention to your movie, which is a good thing.
When our "Infernal Affairs" and "Jiang Hu" became popular, there were many funny versions. No Hong Kong director filed a lawsuit for it. I don't understand why the mainland director made such a fuss..."
This guy didn't forget to step on the mainland director when he expressed his opinion.
Lu Chuan didn't know what medicine he took wrongly, and he also publicly stated: "In this age, if you still suppress others to speak, Director Chen will definitely be scolded to death. Movies are inherently good and bad, and as a director, he should face it calmly Yes.”
Ever since he was scolded by Zhang Chen, this guy seems to have woken up from the scolding. He feels that such public statements can increase his personal influence, and he has publicly expressed his opinions on many things.
Zhang Chen ignored this and was still writing and typing his second blog——
Mrs. Chen, no, Producer Chen, your theory is ridiculous.
350 million, why can’t “The Promise”, which has been painstakingly produced, have negative reviews?
It's your heart to be sick, but it's the audience's blood to sweat. A ticket costs 80 yuan. Why, it's ugly, so why can't you just say a few words about it?
"Waterworld" cost 200 million US dollars, and American audiences still scolded it!
I just want to suggest that domestic actors are also very good. There is no need to use Hong Kong and Taiwan actors. You are saying that I don’t respect Director Chen!
I didn't put "Taken" in the Lunar New Year movie to avoid competing with "The Promise". Isn't this not respectful enough?
Do we have to sing praises loudly?
Also, I was extremely dissatisfied with the overbearing behavior when The Promise was released.
When it was released in Chengdu, the producers requested that there be no negative reports...
A Hong Kong media reported that "The Promise" did not qualify for Cannes. You are suing them for false reporting. Please, "The Promise" did not qualify for Cannes. You are just there to sell the film. Is this untrue?
The most outrageous thing is that when interviewing you, a new reporter from Guangming asked you, 'What would you think if "The Promise" did not meet your expectations? ’
You directly ask people, ‘What are your intentions? ’
When I saw this news, I thought it was an unscrupulous tabloid.
This question is too normal. What could be the purpose of this?
When the movie was released, which director was not asked this question.
Look at Zhang Yimou and how Feng Xiaogang responded?
Now you have ulterior motives.
Do you have a glass heart? It’s not okay to listen to what others say.
Moreover, no matter how you say it, everyone has "ulterior motives".
You and your wife are really the same as each other.
I don’t know why, but I suddenly remembered what Director Feng Xiaogang said about Poet Chen:
When he makes a film, there is no need to consider entertainment at all. The more profound it is, the more valuable it is for understanding. The audience is also a group of young scholars who study the history of the nation's soul. Others like to watch it or not, and they have no intention of getting the money back from their pockets. For such a man, if you try to persuade him to be approachable, it is tantamount to harming him.
I have to say, the summary is really insightful.
In terms of understanding Director Chen, I have to be Director Feng.
But I'm curious, since this is the case, why make a commercial film?
Why embrace the market?
Do you know who the commercial film is for?
Now is the Internet age, and everyone can evaluate Sui Ning. Since you want to make this money, you have to be prepared to be scolded.
Once the blog was published, it was immediately reprinted by the long-awaited media, and it quickly spread on the Internet. Its popularity is still higher than that of "Steamed Buns".
After all, "Steamed Buns" is just a joke, Zhang Chen's words are just ridiculous.

Feng Mansion
When Feng Xiaogang saw the blog, he couldn't help but say "Cao Nima"~
Zhang Chen, you are not a human being, you are fighting with Poet Chen, what am I doing?
But then I felt too relieved.
What he said seemed to be a compliment, but it was actually a veiled sarcasm, but he didn't dare to say it as blatantly as Zhang Chen did.
But Zhang Chen's last question was simply asked for him.
Why embrace the market?
Speaking of this, he felt hatred in his heart, and at the same time he was a little gloating.
These children of aristocratic families~
In the past, there was a circle of people who made movies and reviewed movies.
It is too difficult for outsiders to break out of the circle.
After all the hard work, hard work, and even being scolded by others, I finally found a place in the film-making circle, but in the eyes of movie critics, I am still a clown.
Those people don’t recognize the top three leaders in the country.
They only recognize brother Chen Kai, Zhang Yimou is okay, he is Feng Xiaogang, I’m sorry, bah~
Therefore, he has never dealt with film critics.
Now seeing Zhang Chen openly criticizing these people, he felt happy.
Now is the Internet age. Everyone can comment on movies. You still have the same attitude as before, treating yourself as an uncle, thinking that everyone will sing your praises for you, and waiting to rush to the streets~

Zijin Garden, Zhang Guoli’s home.
Zhang Mo is currently in front of the computer, refreshing the blog page every few minutes.
The blog belongs to Zhang Chen.
Yes, he is Zhang Chen's number one fan and a veteran fan.
As Zhang Guoli's son, Zhang Guoli often warned his son about how to behave in the circle, but Zhang Mo didn't like to hear it.
They are all some old-fashioned theories, and they are extremely cowardly and have no spirit at all.
But he only admired Zhang Chen very much.
He is not timid and dares to draw his sword when he encounters anything he doesn't like. It is completely different from what his father said.
Well, I only learned the word "Bright Sword" this year after watching "Bright Sword". It is full of energy.
He knew what his father said was right, but he just felt that Zhang Chen was what a young man should be like.
Ever since he learned about the disagreement between Zhang Chen and Director Chen, he had been staying in front of the computer.
I no longer play games or watch American TV series, so I just focus on blogging, hoping to get something as soon as possible.

Sina Company, Blog Division
The investment manager looked nervously at the background data.
"Come on, come on, get up..."
The technician exclaimed, and at the same time, the report in front of him also increased exponentially, which meant that the Sina blog had a large number of visits in a short period of time... "Okay, okay, great, contact those advertisers right away, we want to Re-negotiate the price~”
Based on previous experiences, everyone in the blog business department knew that every time Zhang Chen wanted to quarrel with others, the blog would receive huge traffic.
These are the crowds attracted by the scolding war.
Well, Zhang Chen meant the word melon-eating masses, which is very vivid.
And every huge amount of traffic can bring a lot of revenue to their advertising.

Beijing, in a mansion
Jing Tian, who was wearing casual pajamas, was also looking at Zhang Chen's latest blog with relish.
Ah, so manly~
Jing Tian's eyes were full of little stars.
He admired Zhang Chen so much.
Anyone dares to scold!
The most important thing is that every time he scolds, he is justified and makes the other party speechless.
For example, when the light question was mentioned in this blog, Jing Tian's little mind was thinking, yes, this question is normal.
How do they usually respond?
Even though Jing Tian has just debuted, she has already attended many premieres and always sat in the front row.
Who says I don’t have strength? Isn’t this strength?
Thinking back to a recent premiere, it seemed to be "The Great Sage". What was Director Liu Zhenwei's answer?
'We have put in 100% effort, selected the best actors, the best screenwriters, and the best behind the scenes, and have done everything we can. As for the final outcome of the movie, whether everyone likes it or not, we still leave it to the audience. Go ahead and judge. ’
Right, this is the standard answer.
Director Chen, you are so stingy. Is he really a glass-hearted person?
Jing Tian was excited to see a lot of comments on the blog that were supportive, and immediately wanted to support him, but was immediately stopped by Lu Zheng.
"Xiaotian, don't act nonsense, don't talk nonsense, be careful to offend others."
"Offend someone? Are you afraid of Brother Chen Kai?"
Hearing Jing Tian's essay, Lu Zheng smiled bitterly: "Of course I'm not afraid, but there's no need to offend him. Poet Chen is also a great director, so we might have the opportunity to collaborate in the future."
"As for the piece of shit he shot, I don't want to cooperate with him." Little Princess Jingtian got angry, and Lu Zheng couldn't say anything else.
He was just helping the Jing family elders take care of Jing Tian, and he was not someone else's family.

Shenzhen, Konka Headquarters
The advertising department was buzzing with people, and everyone was having a heated discussion.
"We have been deeply tied to "The Promise". Not only are we the largest sponsor, but we have also spent an additional 30 million for promotion. Now that "The Promise" has such a bad reputation, it not only fails to serve as an advertisement, but may even affect the public. Our brand, the senior management will definitely let us take the blame..."
Big business diseases exist in every big company.
Once a company becomes big, the first starting point for everyone to do things is no longer for the company, but to think about how to protect themselves first.
Don’t seek merit, but seek no faults.
"The pot cannot be thrown away. Let's think about how to remedy it, right?"
The advertising manager rubbed his temples with a headache.
The scene fell into a brief silence, and no one had any good ideas.
Suddenly a weak voice appeared:
"Can we..."
He is an intern who has just joined the company.
"If you have something to say, just say it, don't hesitate~" This tone is what bothers the manager the most.
"Oh, I mean, can we turn around and criticize "The Promise" together~"
Uh~
Everyone was stunned, we are the largest sponsor of "The Promise", and we are scolding "The Promise" in turn?
Someone immediately wanted to criticize the intern. What a bad idea this was.
The intern suddenly plucked up the courage and spoke louder: "Now that "The Promise" is bad, it is known to the entire Internet. If you sing praises for "The Promise", you are standing on the opposite side of the public. We might as well simply reveal our identities. It is the largest sponsor of "The Promise", but we also dislike "The Promise", so maybe this can save our corporate image..."
After the intern finished speaking, the advertising department fell silent again.
Everyone here is thinking, it seems, it’s not impossible~
"What's going on in your head?"
"No way?"
"Okay, that's great~"
"I think it's okay."
"I also think it's feasible, maybe we should give it a try~"
Seeing several subordinates express their opinions, the manager looked at the intern with satisfaction: "Your performance today is good. I will report to the chairman in person tomorrow. If it succeeds, you will take credit~"
The company has spent so much money, and this strategic change must have been specially approved by the chairman.
But I have to say that this idea is indeed feasible.
……
At night, in Zhang Chen's bar, the bar owner Qingcheng Wuji suddenly posted a post. Today I did something that was of great benefit to Zhang Chen. I hope it will be of great help to Zhang Chen.
There are a lot of people in the bar. Many people left messages immediately after seeing it. Bar owner, what have you done? Can you tell me?
But no matter how I asked, the bar owner never answered.
