Chapter 269 "Sweet Honey" Premiere
Chang Dachun really didn't expect that his strange words would cause such a big storm of public opinion.
Of course, Chang Dachun loses his temper most of the time.
But he just has a bad temper, not a fool.
Naturally, it is clear that his words are unlikely to attract so many people's attention.
He still knows a lot about himself. Although he has always been known as a well-known director to the outside world, in fact, his reputation among the public is not that great.
Previously, I had only made some literary films, so I didn’t pay much attention to them.
It can be said that the initial scolding battle with Xu Kong was probably the most well-known one in his career.
So behind this incident, someone is definitely deliberately adding fuel to the flames.
There is no need to guess, there is a high probability that it was done by Peng Yu.
Because looking at the whole thing, the biggest beneficiary is nothing more than the other party's movie that was released at the same time as Xu Kong.
……
He helped publicize it, but ended up being exploited in the opposite direction. No one would be able to tolerate this.
But Chang Dachun didn't have time to get angry before he saw Xu Kong's Weibo post of @him.
If it was said that before, everyone was just competing secretly and he was being used.
At this time, Xu Kong directly shouted to him to go to the theater and said that he wanted to teach himself how to make movies. He was really being ridiculed.
After all, as a director, the well-known director he calls himself, let alone now, even when he was young, he had never been ridiculed like this.
Obviously, although it was very popular before, everyone just watched it as a way to pass the time.
With Xu Kong's personal end now, netizens who eat melons are really unable to sit still.
……
"Damn it, is Xu Kong that tough?"
"It's always been like this. Xu Kong just doesn't like to post on Weibo. This post is a big deal."
"Well done. Although I am not a fan of Xu Kong, this Chang Dachun is really annoying, especially when he dumped all the blame for "Feng Hua" on Shang Yuxin, which is even more disgusting."
Although most netizens are still on Xu Kong's side.
Mainly because of the last scolding battle with Chang Dachun, even now, everyone has no particular favorable impression of this so-called old man who can't make gold coins.
However, some people still think that as a public figure, Xu Kong's remarks are somewhat inappropriate.
Of course, what was brought out was nothing more than those words that disrespected the seniors in the industry.
"No matter what Chang Dachun says, he is still Xu Kong's senior. Isn't this a bit too much?"
"I think Xu Kong's movie hasn't been released yet, so I'm afraid I'll be slapped in the face."
"After all, Xu Kong is still young and energetic. If it were me, I wouldn't be so impulsive. After all, my movie is about to be released. Isn't this deliberately causing trouble?"
……
Because of Xu Kong's Weibo, the Internet suddenly felt like it was in chaos.
Chang Dachun originally planned to scold him directly, but he finally got a call from the company's top boss and finally controlled himself.
For him, he doesn't care about Xincheng Pictures, but he can't ignore Fanhe behind it.
After all, for him, this is his biggest financial sponsor, his father.
The investment for the next movie will even depend on Fanhe and Nifang. If you don't obey at this time, what will be ruined in the future will not only be the so-called face and reputation, but also the real job.
Of course, some people like Xu Kong's more flamboyant character.
Especially after so many times in the past, I feel extremely refreshed every time I watch Xu Kong go off to troll someone in person.
But at the same time, Xu Kong's rather radical behavior, which even amounted to naming names and ridiculing, still made many opponents find flaws.
Those who denounced Xu Kong, apart from Peng Yu, who was released at the same time as the movie, were also people of various complex backgrounds.
Xu Kong has not offended many people since his debut.
But it is true that it has developed a bit too fast, which has aroused the jealousy of some colleagues, and many even regard him as a so-called threat.
There are big companies like Jiying Media in music, and there are also many in film and television.
Especially those film and television companies and producers that originally had many conflicts of interest with Feng Ge.
Even though there is no threat at the moment, in comparison, no one wants to see Xu Kong developing so smoothly.
……
Of course, these public turmoils did not have much impact on Xu Kong himself.
Still busy with his own things unhurriedly.
"Director Xu, thank you..."
But even though Xu Kong didn't take it seriously, Shang Yuxin still thanked her very solemnly.
Although the relationship with Xu Kong is no longer what it was before.
But Shang Yuxin really couldn't directly ignore the fact that Xu Kong stood up for her.
When Shang Yuxin was dumped by Chang Dachun and Xincheng Pictures, although she was very angry, she actually had no intention of taking the initiative to fight back.
After all, this kind of thing is too common in places like the entertainment industry.
The most important thing is, to be realistic, if Shang Yuxin really takes the initiative to fight back, whether she can win the war of words is one thing, but it will definitely not do her any good.
Shang Yuxin has been in the industry for such a long time, and naturally knows very well that sometimes, she has to suffer such dumb losses silently.
On the one hand, the capital behind Chang Dachun and Xincheng Pictures is on the one hand, and on the other hand, she herself has no real capital.
With Feng Ge's backing, at most she wouldn't be so called banned.
But with so many artists and actors under Feng Ge, it is unlikely that they would stand up for themselves.
The real loss may still be some resources thrown away on impulse.
After all, even if it is Feng Ge, the roles and resources within the company are still dominated by the jungle.
Many times, such as when Shang Yuxin first joined the company, some major roles and scenes were obtained through auditions and contacts from outside.
So when Xu Kong took the initiative to scold Chang Dachun, Shang Yuxin was not only surprised and moved, but also worried about whether this incident would affect Xu Kong himself.
Although there were many fish in Shang Yuxin's fish pond before, she was certain that in the same situation, even those men who were so fascinated by her would probably choose Mingzhe to protect themselves.
After all, in the entertainment industry, if you really don't have any thoughts at all, you won't be able to get going.
Most people are the same. They talk about how they love you, but once their most fundamental interests are involved, they will find that what they love most is themselves.
……
"What?"
Xu Kong was slightly stunned when he heard that Shang Yuxin suddenly came to thank him.
The main reason is that he has really forgotten that the reason why he started scolding Chang Dachun in the first place was indeed a large part of Shang Yuxin's fault.
By now, it is obvious that Xu Kong and Chang Dachun are the kind of mortal enemies that are unlikely to reconcile.
But no one paid much attention to Shang Yuxin.
"It's okay, you are busy with your business."
Shang Yuxin didn't want to be too pretentious, so after seeing Xu Kong's reaction, she casually brought up the topic.
Seeing Xu Kong working seriously in front of the computer, Shang Yuxin did not disturb him anymore. Instead, he rested his head on his hand on the table and stared at Xu Kong in a daze. Xu Kong naturally noticed it from the corner of his eye, but he got used to it.
Shang Yuxin often ran to his studio recently, and she didn't have anything important to do. She didn't even bother him when he was working, but just stayed with him silently.
It always gave him the feeling that the Shang Green Tea he once knew suddenly changed and became a love brain like Youyou.
……
Time passed day by day, and the public opinion turmoil between Xu Kong and Chang Dachun finally disappeared.
Neither of the two rightful protagonists took the initiative to end the situation again, and everyone couldn't take the cake if they wanted to.
This kind of news only became popular for a day or two, but because it involved Xu Kong, it lasted for two more days.
However, because there was no follow-up progress, not many people paid attention to it in the end.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the premiere of "Sweet Honey" has arrived.
The total number of screenings this time is estimated to be about dozens of screenings a day.
There were three shows in total in the capital. Xu Kong, Shang Yuxin and other film creators all came to the scene in advance.
"Don't worry, judging from my experience, the final box office and reputation of our movie will not be too bad."
As the supporting actor in the film, the actor Guan Hua took the initiative to comfort Xu Kong.
He also read the finished film in advance. Although he had read the complete script, there must still be some discrepancies between the finished film and the script.
However, after reading it, Guan Hua's evaluation of the finished film was even much higher than that of the script which was just written text.
Whether it was the later editing, the soundtrack, or the camerawork and composition that were not appreciated on the set at the time, they all greatly exceeded his expectations.
However, the main scenes of the movie "Sweet Honey" still revolve around the male and female protagonists.
Although Guan Hua is the second male lead and a very key character, his actual role is not that much.
The reason why he agreed to star was not only that he thought the script was well written, but also that there were aspects of his character worth exploring.
The most fundamental reason is because the director is Xu Kong.
After filming "The Long Season", although Guan Hua liked the show very much, he still didn't expect that it would become so popular and his own fame and reputation would increase significantly.
This can be seen from the commercial activities and endorsements that came to our door at that time.
Of course, Guan Hua, an actor who has been filming movies for decades, has actually taken these things lightly for a long time.
The most important thing is to appreciate Xu Kong, a young newcomer.
Whether it is in terms of the scripts written by the director or screenwriter, or in terms of acting talent as an actor, the other party is a person with considerable potential, and may even surpass himself in achievements in the future.
That's why Guan Hua agreed so readily.
Not to mention the salary, I didn't even know the script or the role I was playing, so I just agreed in advance.
……
"I hope so."
Xu Kong's mood at this time was indeed a bit complicated.
I'm both nervous and excited, but it's not because I'm worried about the box office or word of mouth.
Mainly because of his two lives, this is indeed his first time to attend a film premiere as a director and leading actor.
In his last life, although Xu Kong's subsequent development in film and television was pretty good.
It can be said that the transformation is relatively successful.
But in fact, most of them are still concentrated on TV series or online series.
I have participated in a few movies made by well-known directors, or in some movies with main themes, but almost all of them were guest appearances or supporting roles with few roles.
Like a more formal male protagonist, this is indeed the first time.
Of course, with the original film from his previous life in his mind, Xu Kong would naturally compare his performance with that of the original actors.
There is some imitation, but there is also some of his own understanding of the character.
In the end, he couldn't make a fair evaluation on who was better and who was worse, and no one could give him an answer.
But just from the completion of the role, Xu Kong himself is quite satisfied.
……
"Xu Kong is really confident at this premiere..."
At this time, at the premiere of "Sweet Honey", although Xu Kong and other main creators have not yet appeared, there are already many viewers who have entered the venue in advance.
When Yiguo came in just now, she had already met many people greeting her.
They are not fans or ordinary viewers, most of them are colleagues from the film and television self-media, or well-known film critics.
Among them are some types who are generally considered vicious and difficult to deal with in the industry.
It is almost certain that among the people invited by Xu Kong this time, there should be no media that specifically pays them to help with publicity.
They should all be like her, who were simply invited to attend the premiere. While not receiving any money, they also had the freedom to follow up on film reviews and copywriting.
That's why Yiguo affirmed that Xu Kong had confidence in his movie.
Otherwise, you can't operate it like this.
However, if some of the colleagues present at this moment knew what Yiguo was thinking, they would probably be a little speechless.
Because in this circle, everyone agrees that the most difficult self-media account to create is Yiguo.
Others who directly spray venomous snakes are more entertainment-oriented and may have points that can be refuted.
But Yiguo has a hard-core and professional style. Sometimes when analyzed, people can't even find a point to refute.
And the most important thing is that some other accounts have more or less received promotions from the circle.
I even became familiar with some film and television companies, directors and actors.
When the body reaches a certain level, it will inevitably become a little more restrained than before.
But only Yiguo, as one of the largest self-media accounts in the film and television field, almost does not accept any film and television promotion and advertising, and has very high requirements for its own content.
During this period, even big companies like Fengge, Huayuan, etc. took the initiative to offer olive branches, but they were all rejected.
Therefore, anyone who has been in this industry for a while will know very well that Yiguo is a woman who is not known for her skills, and when writing film reviews, she is the type who will never show mercy when it comes to scolding her.
……
"Are those Su Zhi and Song Youyou?"
Yiguo saw many celebrities at the scene, and it was obvious that they were all invited by Xu Kong.
However, the appearance of Su Zhi and Song Youyou still made her pay a little attention.
The most important thing is that the two of them were actually sitting together at this time, and they looked like they were talking and laughing.
She naturally knew about the scandals between the two and Xu Kong, as well as the various online trollings between the CP parties on both sides, so the scene in the theater at this time seemed a bit inconsistent.
Of course, as an advance screening, although it is said that mobile phones or camera equipment will not be accepted.
But it’s definitely not appropriate to record or take photos in a theater.
So Yiguo was only slightly surprised and didn't do anything else.
