Chapter 549 Endless Boomerang
"I don't understand why a person who talks about cross talk has to keep digging into the movie industry. You can get into it as much as you want. You may not be able to put down your airs as a cross talk master and understand the concept of the movie first..."
In a suite of the hotel where the road show team was staying, a mobile phone screen was playing a video from a film and television blogger with millions of fans.
Listening to his question at the end of the video, and recalling his remarks in the video, Guo Jinwei's face turned as black as coal.
Of course, it's not just him, Wu Jiming and Li Xiangrui, who are showing off Weibo's yin and yang weirdness, Xu Xiyu, have expressions so ugly that they can drip with tears.
Because at this time, their Weibo comment area was directly invaded by netizens.
【You are right, good is good, bad is bad】
[You are right. Is it possible that someone thinks that by hiring a few trolls to brag, they can turn a bad movie into a good one? 】
[You are right, the masses have sharp eyes. Now the masses unanimously believe that your film is a bad film. What do you think of this? 】
[You are right, there are many movies that have achieved good box office results in recent years, but what does this have to do with your Jixiang Club? Your movies have always been bad (Tan Shou)]
Comments starting with "You're right" appeared one after another, returning all the words that the two men had used to criticize Xu Xiyu.
Guo Jinwei and others have felt what a boomerang feels like.
pain.
It hurts so much!
The pained Wu Jiming immediately became angry and said angrily: "It's too much, it's really too much. How dare he be so blatant and spend so much money to find so many bloggers and trolls to maliciously smear him?"
"We should report him to the General Administration of Radio and Television and the Internet Affairs Office. Isn't this a lawless attempt to disrupt the public opinion environment and engage in malicious competition? How can a public figure do this?!"
"Master, don't be angry. As I said before, our movie has its own audience to judge. He spent so much money to smear it, which is equivalent to bringing popularity to us."
"Yes! Senior Brother is right, he is doing this to bring enthusiasm to us!"
Listening to the words of the disciples, Guo Jinwei's mood did not get much better. However, the discomfort was still uncomfortable, and the master's airs and patterns still had to be displayed.
So, he pretended to be indifferent and said: "You guys, you really need to practice this mentality. How can you get furious in the face of such slander? Remember, real gold is not afraid of fire!"
Here, Guo Jinwei began to educate his apprentices again.
But in the suite not far next door to him, the director of "Super Family" felt that the sky was falling.
I saw him circling anxiously: "I knew this was the result a long time ago! Damn it, I'm crazy too. I thought I was wrong a few days ago, and I actually thought this was a good movie!"
After listening to his words, the producer, who was sitting on the sofa and smoking, pulled his hair and said: "Don't fucking turn away, your eyes are blurred by you!"
"I don't want to fucking switch. The question is what to do now?! If we continue to screen like this, the reputation will be completely lost sooner or later. By then, there will be no need to release it publicly, and we can just announce its withdrawal!"
"Oh!" The producer was amused by the director's words and asked, "What do you mean by this? Are you blaming me? You are the fucking director!"
The director knew that he was in the wrong, so he did not argue. Instead, he changed the subject and said: "How about stopping the screening..."
"What a fart, what do you think the Internet will say now that the movie is stopped, and how Xu Xiyu will react?! He was bitten inexplicably, and he is so angry that he has nowhere to vent his anger." The producer interrupted directly.
"We really need to stop showing it. Even if it is questioned, it is better than letting the reputation collapse like this."
"You should tell Mr. Zhang and Mr. Li about this yourself. We have invested so much manpower and material resources in order to screen the movie. They will not refund the money. Once the screening stops, the publicity funds will be wasted."< br>
Hearing this, the director's face suddenly became tangled. Xuanfa had a lot of work prepared in advance, and these preparations cost money. If he stopped, it would really be wasted.
Thinking about this, the director thought for a long time and gritted his teeth and said: "Brother, I beg you, please help me discuss it with Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang and the others to see if we can negotiate with the distribution and theater chains. Let's stop the screening. Forget about releasing it in advance.”
After speaking, he added: "There should be enough copies, so the loss in publicity and distribution will also be reduced."
"You are the director, you make the decision." The producer turned on the non-stick pan mode.
But the director then started begging mode. The producer was more valued by the company than himself, so he had a higher success rate when he asked.
After being begged, the producer gritted his teeth and agreed for the sake of the overall situation.
Just like that, half a day later, news came from the producer that both Li Yiguang and Zhang Jianbai agreed to suspend the screening, and are currently considering whether to release it early or withdraw it and postpone it.
The reason why Li Yiguang agreed was because he did not want this project to go wrong.
Zhang Jianbai agreed because he didn't want people to think that he was deliberately sabotaging. He wanted to show the difference between himself and Li Yiguang in front of everyone, and he wanted to tell everyone that he was not as messy as Li Yiguang.
However, the director has no control over what the top management thinks, because the road show team has already exploded when they learned about the temporary suspension of screenings.
Among them, Guo Jinwei had the biggest reaction. A big artist like him has a very tight schedule. In order to participate in the road show, he pushed a lot of announcements and performances.
Of course, let's not worry about this for now. The more critical question is, what is the difference between suspending the road show at this time and directly admitting that "Super Family" was a failure?
So, he led people to the director's room and asked: "Director, what does this mean? Why do you have to suspend screenings and road shows?!"
"The publicity plan has been adjusted, it's normal Guo..."
"Don't fart. What do you mean by adjusting the publicity plan? Have you discussed it with us? Just adjust it if you want?!" Guo Jinwei interrupted directly.
After interrupting, without waiting for the director's reply, he repeated the question: "Let me ask you again, why are you suspending road shows and screenings?!"
"Why are you so worried about the pause?" The director also got angry.
"I have a number, what number do I have?" Guo Jinwei said with an angry smile.
"The reputation of "Super Family" is about to collapse. If the road show continues, we might as well withdraw it! Do you have to say something so ugly?" The director also laughed angrily.
"Hey!! You are the director, do you mean you are blaming me?" Guo Jinwei instinctively said something similar to the producer.
But after hearing this sentence for the second time, the director's reaction was completely different from when he faced the producer before.
I saw him immediately asking: "Otherwise, you are the lead actor, and your apprentice is also the lead actor. Is it possible that if the film fails, you will not be responsible?
Who was talking nonsense in front of the media a few days ago, saying that good works are the result of modifications? The original baggage is not funny, but it is after you have modified it that it becomes funny.
As I said before, if you play the same script, everyone will be happy, but if someone else plays it, everyone will be unhappy. Yes, some people are happy now, at least Xu Xiyu is happy.
When people saw that their good script had been changed into this kind of virtue by you, they instantly became happy. They all sent Weibo to like you, Teacher Guo, you are so honorable! ”
Good guy, as soon as these words came out, Guo Jinwei's face turned red, and it turned purple. He didn't know whether he was ashamed or angry.
There is nothing more uncomfortable in this world than having someone mock you for what you say. The apprentice who accompanied him was even more angry and said: "Holy shit, how can you talk?!"
"You're so fucking presumptuous!" Another disciple also shouted.
"Okay, okay, I'm bold, I'm bold. Anyway, that's what it is. We'll go back to the capital tomorrow. You guys, please do what you want." The director said and saw the guests off directly.
Guo Jinwei didn't want to stay any longer, so he turned around and left angrily.
After returning to his room, he sat on the sofa with an angry look on his face.
However, many years of experience in the arena still made him think about business immediately: "The news of the suspension of screenings has not been sent out yet, and it is probably not going to be sent out at all, but it certainly cannot be concealed.
As long as the tickets for tomorrow's screening are no longer on sale, the audience will react immediately. We now have to think about how to deal with adverse public opinion. ”
"Master, how should we deal with this? There are a lot of bloggers on the Internet making videos to complain about us."
Hearing this, Guo Jinwei was a little confused. He didn't know how to respond. The room fell into silence for a while.
After being silent for a while, Li Xiangrui suddenly had an idea and said, "Master, let's dump the blame in advance."

"How to dump it?"
"Otherwise, let's ask Senior Brother Cao Xiangyun to record a video. He has many fans, and many female fans, so it will definitely be very effective for him to speak out." Li Xiangrui said.
"How to record?" Guo Jinwei asked.
"We can do this..." Li Xiangrui began to talk about his idea.
About three hours later, while new negative reviews were still appearing on the Internet, a "candid" video appeared on major platforms.
In this video, Guo Jinwei’s beloved disciple Cao Xiangyun is chatting with people at the dinner table.
The content of the conversation happened to be about the negative public opinion of "Super Family", and he commented: "Now the Internet is saying that Master messed up the film, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is embarrassing.
Everyone knows how good Master's acting is. In one word, good! It's so useless. He is just an actor. He has to listen to the director on the set. He has to act how the director tells him to act.
Also, everyone who knows the industry knows that whether a film will work as a finished film depends largely on the post-production process. If the post-production editing is not good, it will be in vain no matter how good you act.
However, in the final analysis, the script of this movie is not good. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a living without rice. The initial script is not good, and neither the actors nor the director can perform well.
In this case, what’s the use of having God’s ability? So, after seeing the recent public opinion, I feel very sorry for Master.
Really, are you saying he needs to make money from movies? No need, isn't he just trying to find more ways out for my senior fellow apprentices?
Now, it’s okay. Faced with a bad script and a bad director, you have to bite the bullet and get scolded after the performance. When you get scolded, it’s hard to talk back..."
At this point, Cao Xiangyun covered his face and choked, then slapped the table and said, "I'm so aggrieved for my master!"
There are many comments below this video.
[Once a teacher, always a father, I pity the hearts of parents all over the world, and I give a thumbs up to Teacher Guo! 】
[To be honest, I’m so envious. If I had such a master back then, my road would be much easier now]
[Feeling sorry for Teacher Guo, he has to bear the infamy for no reason]
Good guy, this video and the comments below made Shan Xin Bao dumbfounded.
I saw her and couldn't help but said to Xu Xiyu: "Awesome! This is so awesome. Just when some negative public opinion appeared, you started arranging apprentices to blame it?"
When Xu Xiyu heard this, he also "praised" and said: "This old artist is different, he can always find materials from life.
I think he must have learned this trick from those who did nothing wrong except marrying the wrong man, right? ”
Xu Xiyu's comments made Shan Xinbao amused.
She was happy, and so were the netizens watching.
[I think what you said is very objective. Teacher Guo’s acting skills are indeed very good. Whoever he plays is Guo Jinwei]
[Don’t do this, do you think today’s netizens are fools? 】
[Good guys, that’s not what you said before. It’s not good to complain about the script now. Yes, the script is not good, but didn’t Guo say he changed it? 】
[My foundation is too poor, where can I improve it? Just like a person who is not good-looking, no matter how he dresses up, he cannot compare with those who look better. I said you guys are really endless, how much did you charge Xu Dan? 】
[Is the script important? important, but the real decisive factor is the actors, because what the audience sees when they buy tickets is the performance of the actors, they cannot see the script.
If the actors perform well, the work can be saved even if the original content is poorly written. This is the ability of a good actor - excerpted from "Yang Jihua Crosstalk Special" starring Guo Jinwei]
[Good works come from modifications. For example, when I first got the script of "Super Family", I felt that there were many unreasonable things. Some people couldn't stand it, and the baggage was not funny.
To this end, I made many modifications based on my many years of understanding of characters and baggage, and I also made two or three modifications to the things I modified.
This is how the current film is made. Therefore, one must be willing to spend time and effort to polish and revise in order to produce a good work - excerpted from Guo Jinwei's "Super Family" road show]
[CNM, how much did you charge Xu Xiyu for working so hard to smear him? 】
[If you don’t understand, ask, why is he angry? 】
[Because I repeated his master’s words]
With a "bang~" sound, the purple clay teapot in Guo Jinwei's hand was slammed to the ground and shattered into pieces.
The defense was broken, this time the defense was really broken.
Again, there is nothing in this world that is more uncomfortable than using your own words to slap yourself in the face.
In fact, Guo Jinwei is not the only one who feels uncomfortable.
