Chapter 212 It’s okay to make a movie first
"Shang Yuxin is really poisonous at the box office. She has acted in several movies and all of them have been smashed."
"She is really not suitable for acting in movies. She should honestly go back to acting in her own TV series and stop harming the film industry."
"Although you are all scolding the director and investors, I feel that Shang Yuxin also has a big problem, but she has become invisible in this matter, which is really incomprehensible."
……
With so many years of experience, Xu Kong suddenly saw so many comments mentioning Shang Yuxin. He knew that someone was definitely setting the pace deliberately without having to guess.
Xu Kong didn't know much about Chang Dachun and Xincheng Pictures.
So I don’t know what the relationship between the two parties is.
From the looks of it, it definitely cannot be a pure business cooperation.
Even after the quarrel was like that, the film was still able to be completed. Both parties definitely have certain interests.
Before, he had chosen to show off his face, but now he suddenly began to tacitly direct public opinion to Shang Yuxin. There must be a reason.
……
But the entertainment industry is still too big after all, and even a large company like Fengge is unlikely to be able to interact with all companies.
As for Xu Kong, this aspect is even more "informed".
"The news I got is that Chang Dachun and Xincheng Pictures met through a certain big capital."
“The cooperation between the two parties was only possible because of a third party.”
"Judging from the shares of Xincheng Pictures, the second largest controlling party should be Fanhe Group."
Zhu Yu has also been paying attention to this matter recently.
When she heard Xu Kong mention it, she spoke out her guess.
"Fanhe?"
Xu Kong was stunned for a moment.
This is a well-known investment company in China.
He has shares in many large companies.
"It shouldn't be someone high up in Fanhe, it's probably an investor."
Zhu Yu added.
……
"They are just trying to divert the focus of public opinion, but the most they can do is use methods like this"
"And our marketing department here at Fengge is not a complete decoration."
Zhu Yu didn't seem to pay too much attention.
After all, although there is big capital behind it.
But Shang Yuxin is an artist under Fengge after all, so it is relatively simple to deal with such a rhythm.
And this matter itself is also explained by Shang Yuxin.
There really aren't any big problems with her performance in the movie.
It is still a bit fanciful to want to put all the blame on the actor Shang Yuxin.
After all, although there are people who follow the trend, not all netizens are fools.
……
The fact is indeed what Xu Kong imagined, although the opponent is very deliberately leading the rhythm.
And he always points to the point of attack, which is an example of Shang Yuxin's previous failed attempts to enter the film industry.
The two movies Shang Yuxin made at the beginning were indeed the kind that had both good reputation and box office that people couldn't help complaining about.
But this time, "Feng Hua" failed, and it really had nothing to do with Shang Yuxin, the leading actor.
"No, it's not that big of a deal with Shang Yuxin, right? This abstract script and editing are useless no matter how good the actor is."
"Although Shang Yuxin's previous movies were indeed flops, the person who can blame her for "Feng Hua" this time must be someone who doesn't know the plot of this movie, right?"
"But Shang Yuxin's luck is really bad. She managed to gain popularity thanks to Xu Kong's Fairy Sword, but she ended up taking on a movie like this."
"I can only say that maybe she is really not suitable for acting in movies. Otherwise, don't try to squeeze into the movie industry in the future. In fact, it would be good to act in more TV series and web series."
But it's not without any impact.
No matter what the final result is, it seems that after this movie, Shang Yuxin will be difficult to take off the title of box office poison in a short time.
……
This was naturally a big blow to her own career as an actress.
Obviously, Shang Yuxin himself realized this.
A rare impulse.
She posted an article on her Weibo.
He told the story of how he originally took on the role.
In short, the script was revised, the filming process was bumpy, and it was helpless to watch the director and investors quarrel.
In fact, Shang Yuxin's clarification was not entirely to blame, but she still said something that she believed was problematic in her performance.
Of course, those are just kind words.
After all, everyone can see that it is impossible for an actor to have no complaints when encountering such a crew.
In addition, Shang Yuxin's clarification is quite helpless. If he really doesn't respond and lets the outside world confirm his reputation as a box office poison, it will probably be difficult for him to get any more roles in the future, especially some movie scripts.
……
But no one expected that not long after Shang Yuxin’s Weibo post was posted.
The director of "Feng Hua" also responded.
However, compared to Shang Yuxin's long essay, his post only contains a very short sentence.
"It's all my problem. I shouldn't have invited Ms. Shang to star in the first place, and I won't consider cooperating in the future."
Although it seems to be a direct admission, in fact it is nothing more than being weird.
Xincheng Pictures did not end directly.
But he made a very thought-provoking statement.
The content is the same as some regular company statements, and it is nothing more than suing some netizens who spread rumors online.
The several marketing accounts in the screenshots are all accounts owned by the public relations company Fengge cooperates with.
Most of the content in it is to extract Shang Yuxin from public opinion as much as possible.
The angle is simply that Shang Yuxin is the victim. Before taking this drama, I never thought it would be such a complicated situation.
If you compare carefully, you can find that the content of these marketing accounts is almost the same as what Shang Yuxin published in his previous article.
These are actually complete facts.
But the crux of the matter is that no one can prove it.
That's why Xincheng has no scruples in filing a lawsuit by spreading rumors.
Although it was not Shang Yuxin who directly sued, their purpose and position were basically achieved.
What’s even more ridiculous is that Xincheng Pictures and Chang Dachun, who were at odds with each other two days ago, are now on the same front.
……
At this stage of development, Su Ri'an's online public opinion has still not subsided.
But Xu Kong also knew that there was a high probability that there would be no follow-up.
In the end, it seems that Xincheng Pictures really succeeded. Now most of the attention on the Internet has successfully transferred to the starring role of Shang Yuxin.
Xu Kong, who had eaten all the melons, was still a little bit sad at this time.
In a place like the entertainment industry, in the final analysis, the battle is still a battle of public opinion.
Because the director and the investors were on the same page, Shang Yuxin was sure to suffer the loss of being a mute.
It can be seen that this incident still has a great impact on Shang Yuxin. In the past few days, he has basically not been seen coming to Xu Kong Studio.
……
But Xu Kong didn't expect that he had just finished eating melon in the morning and met Shang Yuxin in the film and television department building in the afternoon.
And it was still the familiar toilet door.
Shang Yuxin's eyes were red, and she had obviously just cried. When Xu Kong came, he was touching up his makeup.
"Are you okay?"
After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked.
"Director Xu?"
Shang Yuxin obviously didn't expect to meet Xu Kong, and quickly adjusted her expression.
Smiling and shaking his head: "It's okay."
However, compared to the previous times when she had a seductive smile, Shang Yuxin smiled a little reluctantly this time.
Shang Yuxin was just as Xu Kong had guessed before. If she hadn't deliberately performed, she would not have accepted other people's comfort or sympathy.
Xu Kong didn't have much to say.
But unexpectedly, it was Shang Yuxin who was the first to break the strange and quiet atmosphere.
"Director Xu, do you think I'm really not suitable for making movies?"
Xu Kong actually couldn't understand this phenomenon. Just like Chen Shuang, the movie king, even now, the chain of contempt between movies and TV series and web series still exists.
And those who are most affected are many people working in the industry.
But he still said:
"Of course not."
"It's just Chang Dachun who doesn't know how to take pictures."
After Shang Yuxin heard Xu Kong's words, she smiled happily this time.
"Thank you, Director Xu."
She actually asked this suddenly because she just wanted to be comforted by Xu Kong.
As for whether what Xu Kong said came from his heart, it no longer mattered.
……
Looking at Shang Yuxin's leaving figure, Xu Kong hesitated.
He came to the film and television department this time to discuss with Yan Rui about his next drama.
But after chatting with Shang Yuxin, he suddenly felt that it didn't matter if he made a movie first.
