China Entertainment's performance is king

Chapter 1218: Head-on Confrontation (Two in One)

"Xiao Lang, she didn't do anything to you, did she?" Watching Zhao Xiaogu leave, Tang Yan walked straight in. "How could you do this? I haven't done it yet. You are shameless. How could you talk back?"

"No, what's wrong? What are you smelling?" After Tang Yan approached Shen Lang, Shen Lang saw her sniffing something and asked.

"No, did she bully you?" Tang Yan said.

"What did you say? Oh, you are thinking about all kinds of nonsense." Shen Lang understood.

"But, forget it." Tang Yan didn't want to discuss anything about Zhao Xiaogu with Shen Lang.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaogu had just walked out of the hotel and happened to meet paparazzi. It was too normal. Shen Lang, Zhao Xiaogu, and Tang Yan stayed in a hotel together. How could this not be news?

"Liying, are you here to help Shen Lang?"

"Liying, have you and Shen Lang been in touch since you broke up?"

"Liying, are you here to see Shen Lang?"

When asked by everyone, Zhao Xiaogu did not answer any questions and went straight to his car. The paparazzi were very sad, saying that he was not like this before.

However, as everyone was watching Zhao Xiaogu getting on the bus, suddenly, a group of people started taking pictures like crazy. At the moment the door slowly closed, many people saw that Zhao Xiaogu suddenly retched, and it was very obvious.

Everyone started to use their imagination. Naturally, they would not think the same way as Tang Yan, but an inexplicable thought came to their mind: Could it be that Zhao Xiaogu was pregnant?

She came here suddenly, but had no work. Not long after Shen Lang went up, she wanted to leave. Then she behaved like this. Was she carsick or pregnant? The latter one would have an explosive point, and that was the latter one. Paparazzi are never afraid of making things bigger.

In the car.

Zhao Xiaogu’s assistant was dumbfounded. You couldn’t even bear it for a few seconds, the door was closed, and you were fine.

Of course Zhao Xiaogu did it on purpose. She had to use tricks. She regretted it very much. She shouldn't have officially announced the breakup at that time. It's not that they couldn't break up, but that they couldn't write it down. It would have been enough to just hint at it.

I'll write this down as evidence. Please, I searched the box office of "Big Shot". It's not even noon yet, and it's already 80 million. Oh my god, I love him even more.

News about Zhao Xiaogu was slowly climbing up the trending searches, but Shen Lang had already continued his roadshow, and it was as if Zhao Xiaogu’s affairs had never existed.

There was nothing blindly done during today's roadshow, such as fans or paparazzi asking inappropriate questions. I can only say that the questions asked later were very cautious and were screened.

After running two shows, I still had some lunch time. A serious roadshow, such as the more famous Dapeng, is called a special forces roadshow. It lasts for one or two months at a time, and every day's rest time is spent on the road. It's exhausting.

"Hey, look at this?" Xiao Tao handed Shen Lang the cell phone.

"What's wrong? Let me take a look. It's OK." Shen Lang exclaimed in amazement.

Wong Kar-wai: "In fact, the world is so big that it is not just divided into north and south. To seek perfection blindly is to be complacent. ...

Only with imperfections can there be progress. Ferryman, ferrying others and ferrying yourself. I like it. "

The text of The King of Sunglasses finally appeared, and Shen Lang thought it would be soon. He had a very clear memory of this in his previous life. It was really amazing that he could get so many colleagues to flatter him. Of course, it was also because of Alibaba behind him. The current Alibaba was not the Alibaba of the future.

The reputation of "The Ferryman" has collapsed. Although it has only been released for two days, the box office is still okay, but under the influence of word of mouth, the box office will drop a lot. We are all people in the industry and we know this.

The King of Sunglasses was anxious and wanted to use his own energy to reverse the decline. This forwarding incident was obviously a marketing campaign planned by the film crew, hoping to use the influence of celebrities to reverse the bad reputation of "The Ferryman".

"Very good. It seems that this is an attempt to reverse the reputation." Shen Lang said.

"We must find a way. The box office has been falling for two consecutive days, and the theaters are already thinking about asking them to cancel their screening schedules." Xiao Tao said.

The cinema chain is not very particular. Seeing that the attendance rate of "Big Shot" was over 85%, they all wanted to make a living from it.

The main reason is that "The Ferryman" is not performing well. With 30% of the screenings, its box office share does not exceed 10% every day.

This is actually Shen Lang raising everyone's threshold. If there was no "Big Shot", 70 million a day would actually be acceptable.

But who cares if "Big Shot" is so popular? If it is screened less frequently, it will make less money. Which theater chain can afford this?

Therefore, it is quite reasonable for the cinema chain to do this, but it is just that the contract has been coded. They can give some leeway before the movie is released, but it is not possible for the screening schedule to drop within two days of its release. However, it is certain that the movie will be in a state of frustration.

"Railroad Tigers" is better, although it also wants to market itself, it is still relatively quiet. The main reason is that Uncle Lung is very talented, and his son is about to make a comeback, so he has to be low-key. Of course, the box office will increase as it should.

"Is that so?" Shen Lang didn't take it seriously. He originally wanted to complain, for example, he said I don't like it, but after all, Lynn Hung and baby are in it, he was embarrassed to say it.

Suddenly, he saw Ji Rujing looking for Tang Yan, and he wondered in his heart, could it be that Tangtang was one of the people who forwarded the message? He knew about Liu Yifei, but he really didn't know about Tangtang.

"Have you seen the movie "The Ferryman" on the Internet? Director Wang posted a Weibo." After a while, Tangtang appeared without even having to ask.

"I see. What does that mean? Do you want to voice your support?" Shen Lang asked.

"You really understand me the best. You know it without me even saying it. We are so in tune with each other." Tang Yan immediately turned into a love-brained person.

She is not a fool, she just wants to use this method to make Shen Lang recall the days they spent together.

"What are you going to post? Are you trying to curry favor with them?" Shen Lang said.

"It's not so pleasant to say, but haven't I worked with the movie emperor before? When his team told me about it, I had to support him and work with him." Okay, it's not all because of the favor of King of Sunglasses, it's all there.

"I understand." Shen Lang said.

This incident was just an episode, but Shen Lang was also interested and started counting stars. Ten minutes later, someone started commenting.

Liu Yifei posted, I like this kind of attitude, as long as the movie has the heart, it's good, but you also have an attitude. Have you seen it?

She forwarded it, so it must be Alibaba's doing. She filmed "Three Lives Three Worlds" and must have had a partner with Yang Yang, so he had to do more. He also participated in "Passing by Your World", which is the director's work.

Besides him, there were Huang Xiaoming, Liu Jialin, a group of actors' families, and even Tang Yan joined in the fun, as well as Kenny Wong, Feng Feng, Lu Han, the last of whom participated in the show.

As for the actors, let alone, I like everyone from the best actor to baby, I support them all.

The most special thing is that Shen Lang discovered a strange person, but after thinking about it, she can indeed participate. She is the character in "Passing by Your World", Liu Shishi.

That’s right, Shen Lang’s exes, Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei, actually gathered under the same Weibo post. The world is so magical.

And there are four top stars, Feng Fan, Lu Yang, Tang Yan, Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, and baby, and three of them are Shen Lang's ex-girlfriends. So, rounding it off, they are all related to Shen Lang.

This is not Shen Lang being narcissistic, it's just that the public opinion is a bit wrong. This is definitely being directed by someone who wants to take advantage of Shen Lang's popularity. His movie is already in theaters, and it's really boring to do this.

Especially as more and more celebrities support it, netizens have rebelled. However, Shen Lang feels that this may not be a marketing plan.

"It seems like the entertainment industry is working together to feed the shit. It's not good to say it's not good. You might as well go watch "Big Shot."

"That's right, I support 'Big Shot'. The founder bravely ventured into the entertainment industry, but he was excluded because he didn't go along with them. But he is popular."

This kind of public opinion kept emerging, and soon netizens followed suit. Shen Lang himself began to suspect that the system might have taken action.

The publicity and promotion team of "The Ferryman" actually intended to copy "Big Shot" in order to stir up some public opinion.

Movies released in the same period are most likely to criticize each other, so they have to be ruthless in marketing. Now that "Big Shot" is so popular, of course they have to do the same.

However, they found something wrong. Why did the public opinion turn to support "Big Shot"? They wanted to cause netizens to backlash against Shen Lang. As we all know, not everyone can like a movie or a person. The better the box office, the more people who think they are sober will go against it.

Especially for top stars like Shen Lang, who has a bad reputation and many rivals. This time, several top stars support "The Ferryman" and use their fans to bring popularity. How great. If the opponent is Shen Lang, everyone will be very proactive.

However, it seemed that so many passers-by left the show that "The Ferryman" felt like it couldn't control the situation. Many netizens really went to support "Big Shot", but that was not everyone's original intention.

Xiao Tao and Shen Lang talked about this matter just after finishing a roadshow.

"Did they send out some naval forces to discredit us?" Shen Lang asked.

"Their publicity and promotion team took the initiative to set the pace, and several other films were also trying to fish in troubled waters."

"It seems that we are indeed the focus of attention." Shen Lang said.

"It's the same throughout the same period." Xiao Tao said.

This was just an episode, but in the afternoon, things became more intense, and a lot of public opinion was unfavorable to "Big Shot".

“The box office of ‘Big Shot’ is high because it has a high screening schedule. Do you think it is the same as ‘The Ferryman’? It is not.

Our cinema only has two screenings of The Ferryman, but we have seven screenings of Big Shot."

"It's all the same. Here, The Ferryman is scheduled to be shown in the evening. When I went to see it, The Ferryman was full, but Big Shot only had a few people."

"What's your problem? In our movie market, if you want to watch The Ferryman, you'll be given a ticket for Big Shot. But you can go watch whatever you want. Those who understand will understand."

"Oh my god, is it that dark?"

"You still don't understand this. The Ferryman is a Hong Kong film. How can it be shown in mainland China and compete with the capital of the Chinese entertainment industry? The Chinese entertainment industry is doomed."

"Support Hong Kong films. Pure Hong Kong films are better than some old-fashioned police and gangster films that rely solely on hype."

"Well, that's not the case. At least when I wash, it's not as refreshing as "Big Shot"."

Some remarks still appear. As long as the box office of Hong Kong films is suppressed, it is the public opinion that the mainland capital is suppressing the box office, or that the box office is stolen. Even healthier public opinions will appear, and they are particularly popular because some people are willing to follow the trend.

In addition, the fans of the top-tier fans have joined forces. No one had expected that Shen Lang could turn things around after confronting the capital like this. Is he so awesome? No, the domestic entertainment industry cannot have such a strong person suppressing my brother. Get down.

However, the system is the system, and with this trend, the box office has increased even more. The theaters don't care about public opinion. They only know that more people went to the movies today, and they were watching "Big Shot". But because of the screening schedule, there was nothing they could do. It was even more sad to watch the money go away.

This instead forms a vicious cycle. For the system, no matter how popular the movie is, it only means an increase in box office revenue.

The more it is criticized, the higher the box office. "The Ferryman" is the mainstream attack on "Big Shot", but it is so popular and there is no bonus. You can criticize it but don't watch the movie. At 6 pm, it is almost the prime time and the box office has not exceeded 30 million.

It looks like today's box office will be at most 50 million, but this is the last day for the box office to explode. Tomorrow is a working day, so it's normal for the box office to be cut in half.

It is normal that "The Ferryman" did not do well at the box office. The movie wanted to reverse public opinion and borrow the fame of celebrities, but it backfired. Netizens are the ones who watch the movies, not the celebrities. They contribute to the box office.

This marketing campaign ended in failure, and the only focus was on getting Shen Lang to show off his abilities. It can only be said that the publicity and promotion efforts were extremely thorough.

Shen Lang didn't even bother to look at it. After thinking about it, he thought, you just want the popularity, I'll give it to you.

When everyone is sending me messages saying I like them, as a Flathead, I can't tolerate you guys joining in the attack and not let me fight back.

In fact, if the King of Sunglasses hadn't posted that Weibo, it would have been difficult for Shen Lang to respond. His usual approach is that celebrities talk to celebrities, and if you post it, don't blame me for finding a weakness.

As for Baby and the like, he believes that with their emotional intelligence, nothing will happen to them. When "The Ferryman" was released, she specifically asked not to promote it for fear that it would affect his "Big Shot". In terms of emotional intelligence, Baby is fine.

Shen Lang: "I don't like it."

As soon as Shen Lang posted this Weibo, it immediately caused an uproar. Xiao Tao was really helpless. Isn't it normal to be attacked?

It is indeed normal, but who asked you to speak out today? It’s just to criticize.

Shen Lang's influence is different from Wang Chuanjun's. He also posted this, but it has not yet fermented, or the popularity has been suppressed.

But no one can suppress Shen Lang's popularity; he is a superstar.

"Oh my god, it's obvious who this is talking about."

"As expected of the Grandmaster, no one dares to challenge him."

"Cowhide."

And Shen Lang was still not satisfied and made a comment himself.

Shen Lang: "I'm busy right now. When I have time in the evening, I'll send you an explanation. Some of those who are trying to stir up trouble are really messy."

Shen Lang dared to confront the capital, let alone the King of Sunglasses. As for confronting those who support him, that is not the case.

In other words, even if it happened, so what? Now, public opinion has directly arisen.

"The Ferryman" was not willing to be outdone and simply liked the post by "Big Shot" which was trying to grab the screening schedule of "The Ferryman"?

Netizens are so happy. As long as they are related to Shen Lang, they don't seem to have to worry about not having fun. Logically, Shen Lang would not have responded to these before, but who made him interested and even slander me?

(Brothers, we are late. Please kowtow first.)
