Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 315 He was killed by his fans!
"Am I the only one who found this movie incredibly awkward? I couldn't watch it at all."

"Those exaggerated lines and affected acting are really boring. A bunch of people are deliberately praising them; is it really worth it?"

"The Wandering Earth is pure pseudo-science fiction! Can the Earth really be moved? It's absurd!"

"You're right, the Earth's interior is liquid; it couldn't possibly be propelled like in the movies. It would have collapsed long ago!"

"Can you please stop praising it so much? Aside from the special effects, it's completely useless!"

"Zhou Yang's movies are terrible! There's absolutely nothing to watch!!"

After seeing these comments, Zhou Yang opened the homepages of the commenters with some confusion.

I discovered that all their previous Weibo posts were promoting Ah Kun and "The Saints".

He immediately understood what was going on, and his face gradually turned gloomy.

Ah Kun's fans are indeed very powerful.

Seeing Zhou Yang's reaction, Fatty Di asked with concern, "Honey, what's wrong? Are you too tired?"

Zhou Yang silently handed the phone to Fatty Di.

Fat Di took the phone and began to examine it carefully. Soon after, her brow furrowed.
"How could these people be like this! 'The Wandering Earth' is such a great movie, why is it being criticized like this!"

"Someone might have been paid to say that. Go check out their homepage," Zhou Yang said casually.

After browsing through the Weibo pages of several users, Fat Di noticed the problem.

A moment later, Fatty Di looked up: "All the Weibo posts from these users are related to Ah Kun and 'The Saints'!"

Fat Di suddenly understood, her eyes lighting up as she said, "I get it! Are Ah Kun's fans slandering you?"

Zhou Yang nodded, indicating his agreement.

"Then what should we do?" Fatty Di asked worriedly.

Being targeted by such a large group of haters is truly terrifying.

Zhou Yang smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, they don't understand the concept of backlash. Let's just wait and see."

"All right."

Fat Di touched her chin, wondering what Zhou Yang planned to do.

A moment later, Zhou Yang posted a Weibo message.

"Thank you to China Daily, Rabbit News and Tuanzi for your support of The Wandering Earth. On behalf of The Wandering Earth and China Science Fiction, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and love to you."

Upon seeing Zhou Yang's Weibo post, Akun's fans were completely enraged.

They promoted "The Wandering Earth" but completely ignored "The Saints"? Are they underestimating our Ah Kun?

Angry fans immediately flooded Weibo.

"What do you mean by this? As the designated Weibo account, you're actually showing favoritism towards 'The Wandering Earth.' Did you accept bribes?"

"Our Ah Kun beat the US national basketball team at the Olympics, why aren't you promoting that?!"

"Are you looking down on our Ah Kun? Or did you get paid for this movie?"

"Let's all promote these designated Weibo accounts together. Ah Kun is an NBA ambassador, a China-Africa friendship ambassador, and an ambassador for the China Poverty Alleviation Foundation..."

"We strongly urge Guancha.cn to investigate these accounts and whether the editors received bribes from 'The Wandering Earth'!" "'The Saint' is a domestically produced film with a budget of 200 million US dollars, a source of pride for our country's film industry. Have you even looked into it?"

"..."

Ah Kun's fans are really something else; whenever a designated Weibo account posts a new message, it immediately gets under their powerful influence.

In response to this situation, some large organizations' Weibo accounts have chosen to disable the comment function.

The incident of "Akun's fans besieging Guanbo" topped the trending search list, attracting a lot of attention from netizens.

Many celebrities are glad they didn't offend Ah Kun's fans, otherwise they would definitely have been bombarded with criticism.

Just as Ah Kun's fans were feeling smug, a mysterious account suddenly posted a Weibo message.

"A certain online celebrity has incited his fans to attack media and other artists, and is also suspected of participating in the trading of fake data, misleading the public. Furthermore, his musical works contain inappropriate innuendo, causing a significant negative impact on many netizens. We cannot tolerate such a person who brings bad influence to the vast majority of netizens; this is wrong, so we must uphold positive energy..."

The news spread rapidly across the internet in a short period of time, causing a sensation across the entire network.

Ah Kun has messed with someone he shouldn't have!

Moreover, many companies, as if they had heard the news, quickly removed Ah Kun's music and performance videos.

Even the content on Weibo was completely deleted, leaving only the homepage.

The movie "The Saints" which was showing in theaters suddenly announced its withdrawal from theaters, and fans who had already purchased tickets will receive a refund.

Ah Kun and his company, Tianmen Entertainment, were very surprised. They had no reaction and were simply placed under house arrest.

Liu Zhengdong, chairman of Tianmen Entertainment, hurriedly tried to contact his connections for help, but the other party's response left him speechless.

"His fans insulted a key member of the account. This is absolutely outrageous. Don't plead for him anymore, or you'll pay the price too!"

……

Zhou Yang was taken aback when he saw the news; the speed of their demise was beyond his expectations.

"Haha, being betrayed by one's own brainless fans must be a first in history." Zhou Yang felt a mix of emotions.

Meanwhile, The Wandering Earth's box office continued to climb, constantly breaking box office records.

But to Zhou Yang and Guo Fan’s great excitement, The Wandering Earth also achieved outstanding box office performance after it was released in Europe and America!
The Wandering Earth broke box office records for Chinese films in 76 countries!

In North America, it grossed over $1000 million, surpassing the North American box office record for Chinese-language films.

Although the box office performance wasn't outstanding, this represents a new step forward for Chinese-language films.

A month later, "The Wandering Earth" finally finished its theatrical run, and the global box office figures were released:
53.64 billion!
It surpassed the box office record of "The Warlords" and became the first film in Chinese history to break the 50 billion yuan mark!

At the same time, the box office revenue of the movie "The Wandering Earth" was also included in the company's bill, totaling 12.3 billion RMB.

After deducting the 300 million RMB investment, Zhou Yang actually earned a net profit of 900 million RMB.

Zhou Yang sat in his office, staring at the 700 million RMB net revenue brought in by "The Wandering Earth." After a long while, he sighed.
"I still feel like my income isn't enough."

puff!

Upon hearing his words, Chen Tianzhen, who was opposite him, spat out the water she had just drunk.

"You think 900 million RMB is a small amount? Most people can't earn that much money in their entire lives!"
