Chapter 132: Verbal and written criticism
After a night of fermentation, the media immediately broke the news the next day.
Most of the reports were about Zhang Chen’s remarks at the airport yesterday.
【Do you still have to fight for your father if you have a quarrel? 】
【I also send you a message from the white page. If I were your father, I would still slap you with big-eared melon seeds~】
[Only those with high moral standards are called seniors~]
[Let me ask you, do you dare to say that your son did not plagiarize? 】
The media have also learned over the past few years that headlines that are all shocking are very eye-catching.
The effect was also very good. The newspapers were sold like crazy and everyone was talking about it.
Even those who don’t know “Shark Beach” know that the director of “Shark Beach” has been exchanging insults with a bunch of writers recently.
The melon-eating crowd was collectively excited. They could still eat such fresh melons in this winter, thanks to Zhang Chen.
In just one night, discussions on related topics quickly started on the Internet. In Tianya, Maopu, Baidu Tieba and major forums, Zhang Chen’s response last night was the top trending one.
The level of discussion of the whole matter has completely exceeded the scope of the entertainment industry.
In the words of later generations, it means - out of the circle.
National discussion.
There are those who support Zhang Chen and those who support the writers circle, but most of them don’t support either side and just watch the fun.
The Internet is abuzz with excitement. There is still more than a month until the Chinese New Year, and the annual show is being staged ahead of schedule.
College students and young people are the most excited. They know the ins and outs of the whole thing.
Some people for unknown reasons came in and asked if the melon was still ripe. Someone immediately sorted out the whole matter for them.
In October, "Kekexili" was released. Zhang Chen was interviewed and predicted that the box office of "Kekexili" would not be very good.
In November, "Shark Beach" was released, and the media interviewed Lu Chuan. Lu Chuan retaliated against Zhang Chen and criticized "Shark Beach" for its lack of artistry.
Zhang Chen did not respond.
Lu Chuan then accepted a second interview, saying that "Shark Beach" was erotic and of low quality.
Then Zhang Chen responded in "Super Interview", saying that Lu Chuan was not capable, did not understand movies at all, and had problems with his character. His movies were suspected of plagiarism.
Then Lu Chuan's father, Lu Tianming, and a group of well-known writers suddenly spoke out, angrily accusing Zhang Chen of disrespecting his predecessors and saying that the movie was full of low-level taste and had no artistry at all.
Then last night, Zhang Chen gave a formal response to reporters at the airport, scolding Lu Tianming and a group of writers.
It was really a bloody scolding, without the literati's backbiting, just pointing at the nose and scolding.
Netizens are looking forward to this. Some predict what the two sides will do next, and some even help make suggestions, which is equivalent to the think tank of both sides.
In short, there is only one purpose, we can’t stop, we must not stop.
It’s not easy to encounter such a heated scolding battle. It’s better than any variety show.
It can be said that Zhang Chen is really a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry. He is the only person in the entire entertainment industry who dares to be so tough on his predecessors.
No, there is another one, Zhang Weiping.
Then Zhang Weiping showed up:
[Good directors strive for both box office and awards, both art and box office, but obviously, Zhang Chen is not~~]
Hoho, Zhang Weiping is blatantly siding with Zhang Chen.
Although he may not be from the writers circle, he must be Zhang Chen's opponent.
Immediately, another good-hearted netizen sorted out the grievances between Zhang Chen and Zhang Weiping:
Zhang Chen's first film "Dark Invasion" was released just before Zhang Weiping's "House of Flying Daggers" .
Once the film was released, it did well at the box office and seriously threatened "House of Flying Daggers".
Someone asked, although the two films are scheduled to be released in the same month, they are not released at the same time, so how can it threaten the latter.
Professionals in the industry immediately responded, because at this stage, people’s movie-watching habits have not yet been formed, and the money in their pockets is limited.
If a person watches "Dark Invasion" at the beginning of the month, he probably won't have the budget to watch "House of Flying Daggers" at the end of the month.
Oh, that’s what happened.
In order to ensure the influence of "House of Flying Daggers", Zhang Weiping denigrated "Dark Invasion" in front of the media.
But what I didn't expect was that the new director Zhang Chen didn't tolerate him at all. He directly attacked Zhang Weiping in "Super Interview", saying that he was the man behind Zhang Yimou, that he knew nothing about movies, and that he just lied. Zhang Yimou's body is full of joking worms.
The two have officially feuded since then, but have not publicly attacked each other since the movie was released.
Now I probably saw Zhang Chen in trouble and wanted to step on him.
Zhang Chen was quite surprised when he saw this comment. There are really experts on the Internet who understand everything clearly without even reading it.
But he can't care about it now. He is calling Han Han to apologize.
“I’m really sorry. This matter had nothing to do with you, but you were implicated in it.”
Zhang Chen spoke sincerely. He really didn't expect that this matter would actually affect Han Han.
Originally, they just commented on the movie and said it was okay. However, they thought it was Zhang Chen’s friendly forces and opened fire indiscriminately.
It’s really ugly to say that a lot of the so-called ‘dirty information’ about Han Han has been uncovered and compared with ‘Harvard Girl’ Liu Yiting.
"It's nothing. It's not the first time I've been criticized." Han Han acted very free and easy. He was criticized all the way he grew up. He was a thorn in the side of defenders since he dropped out of high school and wrote a book. He was even specially invited to appear on the show to criticize him.
Speaking of which, Han Han was considered Zhang Chen's ally and he really couldn't blame his opponent because the temperament of the two was so similar that they both had the label of 'rebellion'.
At this stage, among young people, ‘rebellion’ is a persona that is easy to succeed.
Thank you to King Bi, Han Han, and now there is another Zhang Chen.
Xie Biwang threw his guitar during a concert and put his feet on the coffee table during interviews. This was considered non-mainstream behavior at the time and was rebellious.
Han Han dropped out of school to write a book and promote the theory that reading is useless. Now of course it seems a bit weird, but at the time, this was a challenge to the education system and stereotypes. He was a hero in the eyes of all students.
He did everything that students wanted to do but were afraid to do.
He also accomplished the key.
He once said that I made millions from one book. Those who slandered him may not be able to make this money in their lifetime, so why should they say that my decision was wrong.
The same is true for Zhang Chen now. He disrespects his predecessors and provokes authority. He dares to quarrel with people in public and open fire. He dares to speak out loudly about things he disagrees with without fear of offending others.
These are things that adults are extremely disgusted with, but young people admire highly.
Therefore, Zhang Chen has a great influence among young people, and many people support him.
Support him to speak up for himself and to fire against injustice and authority.
Zhang Chen doesn’t know that he has already spoken for himself. What he wants most now is to take Han Han out. This is really an unforeseen disaster.
But it’s useless, the explanation will only get darker and darker.
What's more, the other side has already recognized that they are the same group, with the same temperament and the same labels on their bodies. Now Han Han has jumped out to support "Shark Beach". What are they if they are not the same group?
Is it really a mutual sympathy?
Those who cherish each other are enemies.
A lot of writers came out to slander Zhang Chen. They kept saying the same clichés over and over again. They said they were disrespectful of their predecessors, the movie was vulgar and erotic.
Seeing the heated public opinion, film critics also joined in and prepared to beat up the lost dog.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t pay the protection fee, you still dare to refute it publicly.
If we don't suppress this trend, everyone in the future will shout, "Princes, generals, ministers, would you rather have the seed?" ’
Those who damage the ecology must be killed.
Zhang Chen has become what they call a polite scum. His lack of artistry is already the kindest criticism, and most of it involves personal attacks.
In short, it feels like public opinion is overwhelmingly against Zhang Chen.
With the combined forces of several forces, Xingchen Entertainment is like a small boat in a storm, teetering on the wind and rain.
Zhang's father and Zhang's mother called worriedly, urging Zhang Chen to admit his mistake.
Han Sanping also called with concern: "Would you like me to introduce it to you so that we can make peace?"
After all, the energy of those writers is too great, and the mainstream media have been attracted by them. occupied.
But Zhang Chen rejected them all because the box office has been rising and will soon exceed 100 million.
The box office exceeded 100 million, which is his golden body.
Zhang Yimou is also criticized by a lot of people, but so what, it does not prevent him from being the number one director in the country, and he will make films when he should.
However, he did not do nothing. He has been collecting evidence in the past two days, and then held a media conference to formally respond.
Dong Jianqiang will announce the news of the press conference. No special invitation is needed. The media will come automatically when the time comes.
Sure enough, on the day of the press conference, the venue was full of people with long guns and short guns. Everyone wanted to hear how Zhang Chen was going to deal with it.
Are you giving in?
Or continue?
They don’t understand Zhang Chen so well, how can they give in? They will never give in in this life.
It means staying strong to the end.
Zhang Chen stood on the rostrum: "As for the criticisms about me and "Shark Beach" in the past two days, I will not list them one by one. You can ask, stand in line, and I will explain one by one. ”
As soon as he started, he delegated the right to ask questions to the media.
Dong Jianqiang is in charge of the people. Of course, the reporters have their agents, and they must control the rhythm.
You don’t need to use it, but if someone deliberately takes the lead, you need to rely on these support to change the topic back to the right track.
"Excuse me, some film critics criticized "Shark Tank" for being suspected of selling meat. What do you think?"
"What do I think? I watched it intently."
Zhang Chen's nonsensical answer immediately caused laughter at the scene.
The first question must be asked by one of your own. Zhang Xiaobei of the Beijing News said this is a very particular question. The question is not too sharp, and it can also set the tone for the entire questioning session, so that it does not become tense right from the start. .
Seeing that the atmosphere was quite relaxed, Zhang Chen further explained: ""Shark Beach" is a commercial film. It is normal to have beautiful women, and it is normal for beautiful women to wear swimsuits. This is completely in line with domestic censorship standards.
Those who say that movies are selling meat, I can only say that there is something wrong with their own thinking.
Think about it from another angle, that is Fan Binbin, one of the most beautiful female stars in China, I will give it to you. Welfare, don’t you appreciate it?”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter from below, everyone is a man.

Also, I am typing, so I will be late
