Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 719 The young heartthrob cried?

Zhou Yang had been keeping a close eye on online developments, so he naturally wouldn't miss this scene.

He smiled slightly; this was just the beginning, after all, an artist with so much controversy would only have a bad impact on the company.

Seemingly to confirm Zhou Yang's view, the official account of the brand Xiao Zhan collaborated with released a statement.

"#Huaxia Fangfansi Brand: Following an investigation, agent Xiao Zhan has been found to have engaged in misconduct and whose character is questionable. Effective today, our cooperation with Xiao Zhan is terminated. According to the contract, we are not required to provide compensation!# (Image)"

"#AcidEnzymeOfficialAccount: The recent incident involving Xiao Zhan has caused us significant losses! We are terminating the contract and demanding $1 million in compensation from Xiao Zhan! See the attached contract for details: (image)!"

"#Dennis Original Brand: Effective today, we are terminating our contract with Xiao Zhan's company and will never cooperate with them again! We hope Xiao Zhan's side can negotiate compensation in accordance with the contract! (Picture)#"

"..."

The fact that brands that endorsed Xiao Zhan terminated their partnerships and distanced themselves from him has indeed severely damaged his public image.

Netizens reacted strongly, believing that Xiao Zhan's inappropriate behavior should be punished.

"Haha, that's so satisfying! You should quit the entertainment industry already!"

"This brother of yours, who can't clear his name, still dares to talk to our Fatty Di!"

"This kind of person should really get out of the entertainment industry!"

"He has no acting skills and no good looks, I can't stand him at all!"

"These brands are really smart; I'll terminate the partnership immediately too!"

"Those who maliciously slander others everywhere are indeed reaping what they sow!"

"Scumbags should stay in their doghouses, why are they running around like this!"

"..."

Xiao Zhan was completely panicked this time. He originally thought the company would help him handle the matter, but he didn't expect that the partner would not only stop cooperating but also demand compensation.

Nowadays, Xiao Zhan is like a rat crossing the street on the internet, hated by everyone, which is his own fault.

"Sister Mei! Please help me! I shouldn't have done this! Waaah!"

Xiao Zhan, with tears streaming down his face, sought help from his agent.

Mei Jie on the other end of the phone sounded extremely impatient. Xiao Zhan was now a pariah, not only in trouble himself, but also dragging the company down with him.

"Xiao Zhan! Do you know what's going on?! You're actually asking me for help? I can't even keep my job now! What you say is useless!"

Xiao Zhan froze instantly, his pleading voice abruptly stopping. Sister Mei had never spoken to him in such a tone before; she always treated him with gentleness.

Sister Mei impatiently tried to hang up, but continued, "Who did you have to mess with? Zhou Yang? Zhou Yang is notoriously difficult to deal with!"

After saying that, Sister Mei hung up the phone immediately.

As Xiao Zhan listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, he thought of that godlike man, and his fear and regret grew stronger.

He should have realized long ago that that person was not to be underestimated...

Meanwhile, the ratings for "Zhu Xian" continued to decline, its reputation worsened, and coupled with Xiao Zhan's negative news, viewers expressed their disappointment.

Its rating on Douban has dropped below two points, even lower than some inferior films!
Such a low score means that almost no viewers gave it a rating of three stars or higher.

Domestic audiences didn't approve of the film, let alone international audiences. They were already uninterested in the fantasy genre, and the misunderstandings created by *Zhu Xian* further diminished their expectations for Chinese fantasy films.

"My God! How can the special effects be so crude! I've never seen anything like it before!"

"Seriously! 'Zhu Xian' is terrible! It's the worst movie ever!"

"Excuse me? With acting skills and special effects like this, is this really a Chinese fantasy film?"

"It seems that apart from Zhou Yang's works, everything else is disappointing!" "However, the actors under Zhou Yang's management are quite good!"

"Are all fantasy movies this bad? The acting is so exaggerated! And the special effects are incredibly rough!"

"..."

On overseas social media, most of the comments from viewers of "Jade Dynasty" were negative, which deterred some netizens who were interested in fantasy films.

On the other hand, due to their fondness for Zhou Yang, many foreign netizens watched "The Legend of Zu Mountain". Initially, they did not have high expectations, but they left the theater with smiles on their faces.

This film is even more amazing than Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters!

This is exactly what a Chinese fantasy film should be like! It's so cool!
"This is amazing! My God, does a world of immortals and heroes really exist? Does it exist in China?"

"This is so cool! Compared to Hollywood movies, it has a more fantastical, ethereal quality!"

"Zhou's performance was truly superb; he certainly didn't disappoint me!"

"Senior Zhou is amazing! The movie was fantastic; Chinese fantasy films are unparalleled!"

"This is amazing! I'm so moved I cried! It's true!"

"So this is what Chinese fantasy movies are like. I completely accept it!"

"..."

After receiving negative reviews for "Jade Dynasty," many overseas netizens were excited to see "The Legend of Zu" starring Zhou Yang and rushed to buy tickets to the cinema.

As its popularity soars overseas, global box office revenue has also increased, with an astonishing growth trend.

Even more noteworthy is the growing positive word-of-mouth from audiences, who are saying it's the best fantasy film they've ever seen, completely changing their perception of the genre.

Against this backdrop, the global daily box office figures for the second day were released.

Driven by positive reviews, "The Legend of Zu" grossed a staggering $1.3 million worldwide on its opening day!

The directors were right; Zhou Yang has indeed ushered in a new chapter for fantasy films!

Meanwhile, "Jade Dynasty," which was released on the same day, only grossed $1000 million worldwide.

Without comparison, there is no harm. In terms of data, "The Legend of Shushan" is far ahead, and even the word-of-mouth is worlds apart.

For moviegoers, these two films are incomparable; they are simply too different.

Fatty Di, sitting next to Zhou Yang, was very happy, having long harbored resentment towards Xiao Zhan.

"Look, look!" Fatty Di excitedly showed the data on her phone to Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang glanced at it, his expression remaining calm; all of this was within his expectations.

"Hehe, see how strong I am!"

Although Zhou Yang's words were tinged with pride, his tone remained calm.

Fatty Di nodded vigorously; Zhou Yang had indeed performed exceptionally well!
She often wondered if she was worthy of Zhou Yang's excellence!

Meanwhile, "The Legend of Zu" is being hotly discussed on domestic social media, with viewers saying it's the best fantasy film they've ever seen.

As expected, anything produced by Zhou Yang is bound to be top-notch!
Many edited videos of "The Legend of Zu" have also emerged online, some of which are beautiful and some are funny, further highlighting the popularity of the movie.

These edited videos have also spread widely on international social media platforms, especially a few short clips posted by a top account that perfectly encapsulate the essence of the entire film.

"#BigQuestion: Recently, some fans have asked me what I've been up to since I stopped updating. I'm obsessed with Zhou Yang! Of course, my Yang-ge recently released a new movie, how could I be idle? Without further ado, here's my video below! You'll never get tired of watching it. Friendly reminder: best viewed with headphones!#"
