Chapter 557: Shall we have one too?
"It's so lively."

Los Angeles International Airport.

Gu Wei and Liu Yifei were holding their mobile phones and browsing the domestic news in the waiting room, and they couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Yifei only read the negative comments and all kinds of sarcastic sarcasm from netizens. Her shoulders were shaking and she almost fainted with laughter.

"Uh, is it that funny?"

Looking at the young lady who was about to faint from laughing, Gu Wei said speechlessly.

"Haha, I'm so happy."

Liu Yifei nodded, and then saw another comment. She couldn't help laughing again, and in the end she laughed so hard that she slapped her thigh.

Well, the picture was of Gu Wei’s thigh.

"Girl, your hands are getting stronger and stronger." Feeling the force coming from his thigh, Gu Wei's face changed.

I have to say that the fighting power of the Jimei people is indeed strong.

Online, the battle between the two sides has entered into full swing.

Extreme fans who have lost their minds even bluntly stated that many viewers are blind.

"Why don't you support Tiny Times but support The Breakup Guru, just because this movie was invested by Xingchen Films?"

"Exactly. Compared to Director Guo, other directors are rubbish. Which director in the entertainment industry can have a box office of over 200 million for his first movie?"

"I propose a boycott of the movies produced by Xingchen Films. No one wants to watch them. No matter how famous an international director is, without the support of fans, he is nothing..."

.........

Song Ge suddenly discovered that many people were talking about "Tiny Times" under the Weibo of Gu Wei, Xingchen Film and Television Company, and Shiba Culture Company.

Or they could call on Gu Wei to come out and comment on the movie "Tiny Times".

Or they would be sarcastic and criticize the company and Gu Wei at the same time.

"Damn it, if a tiger doesn't show its might, you think I'm a sick cat, right?"

Song Ge was really angry. I didn't do anything to you, but you guys got so excited.

"You've seen what happened, right? Contact the representatives of the theater chains and ask them to reduce the number of screenings so that they can calm down." Song Ge called Wang Chen and gave the order.

"I understand." The latter nodded.

On the other hand, the same thing happened under the official Weibo accounts of companies such as Huayi and Bona.

Anyway, the "Jimeis" have gone crazy and have started firing indiscriminately.

He left a message on Huayi Film Group's Weibo account, talking a lot about the "Tai Chi" series and saying that Huayi Film Group was the source of all the bad films in mainland China.

What's worse, some people even brought up the Zhou Xingchi incident and called Wang Da and Wang Xiao ungrateful.

As for Bona, some of Yu Dong's bad deeds were naturally brought out for ridicule.

Needless to say, the light was terrible, and a large number of fans were almost pointing at Wang Changtian's nose and scolding him.

"Mad, do something."

Wang Zhonglei and Yu Dong gave orders at the same time. They wanted to make some people understand that they have the final say in the entertainment industry.

……

at the same time.

Wang, the boss of Guangxian, called his subordinates and got angry, scolding several responsible persons.

When Wang Changtian learned the reactions of the heads of other companies, he laughed secretly.

"A young man who has no strength yet dares to touch other people's cakes. He really doesn't know how he died."

Guo Xiaosi, who was in Shanghai, was also dumbfounded.

What the hell is going on? In the blink of an eye, he has offended all the major film and television companies in the industry.

The fighting power of the "Jimeis" was beyond his imagination, and even made him feel scared.

When things developed to this point, Guo Xiaosi naturally realized that he had been tricked.

But he can't give in yet. After all, his image has been established. If he backs down at this time, he will not only fail to please the filmmakers in the circle, but will also be abandoned by his fans.

the next day.

The number of screenings for Tiny Times has dropped below 40%, and is still decreasing. However, Deng Chao's Breakup Master has been secretly increased in the number of screenings.

Seeing someone attacking him from behind, Guo Xiaosi became angry.

When interviewed by reporters, he said bluntly: "I don't know whose cake was touched by "Tiny Times", but such a despicable means is disgusting. If you have the ability, let's compete face to face..."

"Some people only do things behind the scenes. The film industry used to be fair and inclusive, but now it has become a monopolized industry. New directors are suppressed and have no chance of making a breakthrough..."

At this time, fans also reacted and realized that the filming schedule of "Tiny Times" had been secretly reduced, and they immediately started to focus their attention on it.

For a time, companies such as China Film, Xingchen Films, Guangguang, Bona Film Group, and Huayi were all described as “black hands behind the scenes.” Gu Wei, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, and others were also described as “bad guys” who suppressed newcomers in the industry.

……

capital.

At a golf course on the west bank of Qinglong Lake not close to the city, the Wang brothers of Huayi were walking and talking, with seven or eight people including assistants, caddies, and beauties following closely behind them.

"Tell me, what on earth are you thinking?"

Huayi Company has confirmed a new movie. When Wang Zhonglei said this, it immediately attracted media reports.

But this was not the result of a collective discussion among the company's top management, but rather Mr. Wang suddenly spoke out to the media.

As a result, when Mr. Wang received calls from some partners and was asked about it, he looked confused.

Huayi Company is going to make a new movie, how come I don’t know about it?
Wang Zhonglei laughed and explained, "This is what I think. Low-budget movies are so popular now. You've seen the box office of Tiny Times and The Breakup Guru. They've made a lot of money. It would be a waste if we don't take advantage of this favorable opportunity!"

Wang Zhongjun was somewhat tempted, but said, "Oh, tell me about your plan!"

Wang Zhonglei said: “Look at the movies that the company has made before. None of them were big investments, but the Tai Chi series and 1942 ended up losing money.

It's just a movie like "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", with a total cost of just over 100 million yuan, which can be considered a profit, but the investment and returns do not match.

I was thinking why can't we start a few movies about love, money worship, and women. These movies require small investments, but if they become successful, the returns will be huge."

Hearing this, Wang Zhongjun smiled and nodded slightly, motioning for Mr. Wang to continue, "What I mean is that the script is biased towards women, preferably with women as the main characters and men being belittled. The audience will like it. Then find a few big-name stars to join in, and find a random director to shoot it. Maybe the box office will explode."

Wang Zhongjun frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "Praising women's worship of money and belittling men? Is this topic really appropriate?"

Wang Zhonglei laughed and said, "I don't know if it's appropriate, but the audience likes to watch it, especially young women. Who doesn't want to have more lickers?"

Wang Zhongjun said, "Indeed!" Then he asked, "Investment is easy, but what about the director and actors? The movie hasn't even started yet, but you said Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun are going to star in it. Are you sure?"

Mr. Wang chuckled, "Of course, these two people are from Huayi. Although they have been close to Gu Wei and his team in the past two years, it's not like they won't pay for inviting them to make a movie. Why would they be unhappy?"

When saying this, Wang Zhonglei was full of confidence.

Seeing Wang Zhongjun paused, he continued, "We've already dealt with Huang Xiaoming. He's a nice guy who doesn't want to offend anyone and always gets what he wants.

As for Zhou Xun, it’s not a big problem. I believe that after thinking it over carefully, he will not refuse.

As for the director, Xiaogang definitely doesn’t have time, so just find any director. There is no shortage of such small roles in the circle anyway.

Now, we have the leading male and female actors and the director, and we can invite handsome and beautiful popular stars to play the remaining supporting roles. If the ending is a bit sensational and melodramatic, the box office will definitely be good!"

At this point he suddenly sneered, "Tiny Times made over 200 million in three days, there's no reason why it can't make money!"

Wang Zhongjun originally thought that this matter was unreliable, but after hearing what Mr. Wang said, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be some hope.

"Okay, then you take full responsibility! By the way, since we also want to make this type of movie, let's stop criticizing "Tiny Times" online. Instead, we should praise it a few words and wait until we make money." Wang Zhongjun suggested.

Mr. Wang laughed and said, "Okay, I was angry at the time. Now that I think about it, maybe there are other people behind this!"

Wang Zhongjun reached out and patted his brother on the shoulder, saying, "Okay, then just watch!" After that, he strode forward.

The Wang brothers were making their calculations quickly, but as soon as they made their decision, the wind direction at Huayi changed immediately.

Wang Zhonglei withdrew his tactics and instead praised Guo Xiaosi, saying that he was a rare new director in recent years.

He deserved the Best New Director award at the Shanghai Film Festival. "Tiny Times" is a good movie. If it wasn't good, it wouldn't have had such a high box office.

Afterwards, Mr. Wang held a press conference and officially announced that Huayi Company would launch a new film project entitled "The Best Luck Comes from Women Who Act Like Coquettishly".

Many media outlets gathered at the press conference, and Mr. Wang, who brought director Pang Ho-cheung to the event, talked about the details of the story of "A Woman Who Acts Like a Baby Has the Best Life," which was mainly about the entanglement between several male and female characters and the relatively complicated emotional entanglements.

"Oh my god, it doesn't sound like a serious story. Huayi announced that they don't want to make a romantic action movie, do they?" A photographer holding a camera whispered to the reporter next to him.

"Who cares? As long as it sells, it's good news!"

Although they could smell a hint of "Tiny Times" from Mr. Wang's narration, the reporters still swarmed around and rushed to ask questions.

"Hello, Mr. Wang. Have the leading actors and actresses for this movie been decided?"

"Mr. Wang, is this movie imitating Tiny Times..."

Mr. Wang was in high spirits, answering all the questions that could be revealed one by one, until evening.

The four words "Huayi's new film" once again topped the hot search headlines. News about Huayi and "Tiny Times" were overwhelming and completely dominated the screen.

The media reporters were extremely excited when writing the articles, as if they were drinking chicken blood, but when the actresses who were reading the news saw them, their eyes immediately lit up.

To be more specific, even though Tiny Times has been criticized all the time, the box office is there, and they are the main creators of a movie that grossed hundreds of millions of dollars.

In addition, this is a production of Huayi Company, and the investment is not too small, so it is really attractive.

All of a sudden, male and female celebrities in the circle began to take action again.
