Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 800: The online army has been mobilized?
The reporters only managed to take a few photos of Zhou Yang before leaving. Watching their car drive away, Zhou Yang shook his head slightly, thinking to himself that public figures always have to be wary of surprise attacks from reporters.

About two minutes later, Zhou Yang opened the glass door of the studio.

Guazi asked nervously, "We agreed to meet at nine o'clock. Why are you so late? I thought something had happened."

Zhou Yang waved his hand, sat down, and said, "I was stopped by reporters just now!"

Guazi asked anxiously, "Really?! Are you alright all by yourself?"

Guazi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Zhou Yang confirm that he was alright.

The two then began discussing the details of post-production, and their conversation lasted for half an hour.

After a long rest, the team was full of energy and threw themselves into their work.

A week later, post-production on "Parasite" was completed! Zhou Yang saw the finished product sent by Guazi, nodded in satisfaction, and immediately uploaded the trailer to the internet.

"#Actress Zhou Yang: Poor people gather in basements, what story does 'Parasite' actually tell? Hope everyone will support it! (Video)#"

This Weibo post attracted widespread attention, and the video quickly garnered over a million views, leaving many viewers amazed.

"This is nothing like what I imagined! It feels amazing!"

"Haha, this seems so-so! The 'Rookies' that Brother Xiao Zhan participated in is much more high-level than this!"

"Please stop mentioning that movie, okay? I'm tired of hearing about it!"

"You're the one with a terrible movie! Trying to get attention by commenting on other people's Weibo posts!"

"I support Brother Yang! Humph!"

"..."

Zhou Yang noticed many comments in the comment section discussing "The Rookies," which puzzled him as he was busy with work. He opened the search bar and found news about Disney and Warner Bros.

"#DisneyOfficial: In strong collaboration with Warner Bros., 'The Rookies' will be released in theaters nationwide! Hello, friends in China!#"

"#WarnerBrothers: Thank you for your comments, Chinese friends! 'The Rookies' will definitely not disappoint you!"

"..."

Recently, the collaboration between two well-known film companies has propelled "The Rookies" to the top of the trending searches!
After seeing this message, Zhou Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, "The collaboration between Disney and Warner Bros."

Among the films released at the same time, "Parasite" and "The Rookies" are bound to engage in fierce competition!

Two days later, Zhou Yang, along with Wang Zhuangzhuang, Lao Hu, and others, traveled to various parts of the country to promote their work.

Their first stop was Taizhou.

Zhou Yang had already contacted Chen Tianzhen before boarding the plane and arranged for media coverage.

When Zhou Yang entered the Taizhou venue, he observed that the number of media present was less than half of the usual number!

Media reporters often follow the crowd, and now that "The Rookies" is so popular, they naturally try every means to dig up related news.

However, the presence of dozens of media outlets is already a form of recognition for Zhou Yang.

Looking at the scene, Lao Hu gently nudged Zhou Yang's arm. "The atmosphere doesn't seem as lively as before, does it?"

Zhou Yang simply smiled and sat down with the other key members of the production team.

The discussion gradually subsided once everyone was in place.

"Hello Zhou Yang, I'm a reporter from Tiantian Media! Are you worried that the recently popular film 'The Rookies' will surpass 'Parasite' at the box office?"

Upon hearing this question, the surrounding reporters all perked up their ears.

Zhou Yang took the microphone and replied with a smile, "I'm not worried! Because 'Parasite' will definitely surpass 'The Rookies' at the box office! We can't be sure who will surpass whom yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell silent.

After a while, the discussion gradually resumed.

"Did I hear that right? That's way too confident!"

"Disney and Warner Bros. have teamed up! Zhou Yang's attitude is far too absolute!"

"Young people really need to tone it down!" "That's shocking! I need to write this down right away; news material is here!"

"Brother Yang is really tough!"

"That's quite an imposing presence!"

"..."

Upon hearing Zhou Yang's statement, Wang Zhuangzhuang and the others looked surprised and turned to look at him.

Despite their trust in Zhou Yang's abilities, his decisive statement in front of the media was truly surprising.

Zhou Yang is undoubtedly the best!

After the promotion ended, the video was uploaded to the internet and quickly sparked ridicule from netizens.

"Zhou Yang is so arrogant that he's forgotten his place?"

"Watch your words, upstairs! Zhou Yang's abilities are no joke!"

"This guy actually dared to say that!"

"I'm looking forward to seeing how he gets slapped in the face for daring to speak without understanding the situation!"

"Wow! Although I like his flamboyant attitude, the outcome is clear!"

"You're so overconfident! Don't forget to call me when you get proven wrong!"

"..."

After the video was released, the media began to make comparisons.

The topic of "Zhou Yang's harsh words about suppressing amateur agents" has even caused the top spot on the "amateur agent" list to fall to second place!
However, thanks to the promotion by Xiao Zhan's fans, the discussion surrounding "The Rookies" rose rapidly.

"Heh, seeing Zhou Yang's words, all I can do is laugh!"

"Zhanzhan is amazing! Full support!"

"Disney and Warner, Zhou Yang is incredibly audacious!"

"With Xiao Zhan involved, it's bound to be exciting! Hehe!"

"Amateur agents are definitely something to look forward to!"

"..."

Backstage at the press conference, Lao Hu sighed, patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder, and said, "You really shouldn't have spoken so excitedly just now! I was really worried!"

“Yes, Brother Yang!” Zhou Dongyu nodded sincerely.

Zhou Yang dismissed this, saying, "Don't worry! I know what I'm doing!"

Old Hu and Zhou Dongyu exchanged a glance and shook their heads.

In the following days, everyone was busy with publicity work.

A week later, the promotional campaign finally came to an end.

Zhou Yang received a call from Chen Tianzhen as soon as he got off the plane.

"Hey, Yang! Major cinema chains have suddenly reduced the premiere screening share of 'Parasite' to only 5%, while increasing the screening share of 'The Rookies' to 50%!"

Chen Tianzhen's voice was urgent, and the situation was worrying.

Zhou Yang stopped, his brows furrowed. "Only 5%?"

He had expected theaters to reduce the number of screenings, but he didn't expect it to be so few.

"Yes! I don't understand either! I tried to contact Mr. John, but he didn't answer the phone!"

Although Chen Tianzhen has experienced many ups and downs, the magnitude of this incident still surprised her.

Zhou Yang was puzzled. Although the popularity of "Parasite" had declined, theaters shouldn't give up the opportunity to make a profit.
