I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Chapter 212 It’s okay to make a movie first

"Shang Yuxin is really box office poison. She has starred in several movies, and all of them have failed."

"She is really not suitable for acting in movies. She should just go back to acting in her own TV series and stop ruining the film industry."

"Although you are all scolding the director and investors, I feel that Shang Yuxin also has big problems, but she has remained invisible in this matter, which is really incomprehensible."

……

With Xu Kong's many years of experience, when he suddenly saw so many comments mentioning Shang Yuxin, he didn't need to guess much to know that someone was definitely deliberately stirring up trouble.

Xu Kong didn't know much about Chang Dachun and Xincheng Pictures.

So I don’t know what the relationship between the two sides is.

Judging from this, it is definitely impossible to be a simple business cooperation.

Even though they had such a big argument, they were still able to complete the film. There must be some vested interest between the two parties.

They had already chosen to fall out with each other before, but now they suddenly began to tacitly direct public opinion towards Shang Yuxin. There must be a reason for this.

……

But the entertainment industry is too big after all. Even a big company like Fengge is unlikely to have any intersection with all companies.

As for Xu Kong, he seemed even more "out of touch with the news" in this regard.

"I got the news that Chang Dachun and Xincheng Pictures got to know each other through some big capital."

"The cooperation between the two parties was facilitated by a third party."

"And judging from the shares of Xincheng Pictures, the second largest shareholder should be Fanhe Group."

Zhu Yu has also been paying attention to this matter recently.

When she heard Xu Kong mention it, she spoke out her guess.

"Fan He?"

Xu Kong was stunned for a moment.

This is a well-known investment company in China.

He owns shares in many large companies.

"It shouldn't be some senior executive of Fanhe. It should be an investor."

Zhu Yu added.

……

"They are just trying to divert public opinion, but at most they are just using tactics like this."

"And the marketing department here at Fengge is not just for show."

Zhu Yu didn't seem to care too much.

After all, there is huge capital behind it.

But Shang Yuxin is an artist under Fengge after all, so it is relatively easy for her to handle such a rhythm.

And Shang Yuxin was also right in this matter.

There really isn't anything wrong with her performance in the movie.

It is a bit unrealistic to want to put all the blame on the actress Shang Yuxin.

After all, although there are people who follow the trend, not all netizens are fools.

……

The fact was indeed as Xu Kong had imagined, although the opponent was deliberately setting the pace.

And the point of attack that he had been pointing out was the example of Shang Yuxin’s previous failed attempt to enter the film industry.

The two films that Shang Yuxin filmed at the time were indeed the kind that made people unable to help but complain about both their reputation and box office.

However, the failure of this "Feng Hua" has little to do with the lead actress Shang Yuxin.

"No, this is not the case with Shang Yuxin, right? This abstract script and editing will be useless even if the best actors come."

"Although Shang Yuxin's previous films did fail, anyone who can blame her for Feng Hua must know the plot of this film, right?"

"But Shang Yuxin's luck is really bad. She finally gained popularity thanks to Xu Kong's Fairy Sword, but ended up taking on a drama like this."

"I can only say that maybe she is really not suitable for acting in movies. Otherwise, she should stop trying to get into the film industry. It would be better for her to act in more TV dramas and web series."

But it's not without any impact.

No matter what the final result is, it seems that after this movie, Shang Yuxin will find it difficult to get rid of the title of box office poison in the short term.

……

This is naturally a big blow to her acting career.

Obviously, Shang Yuxin herself realized this.

A rare impulse.

She posted an article on her Weibo.

He talked about how he took on this role.

In short, the script was revised, the filming process was bumpy, and there was nothing I could do to watch the director and investors quarreling.

In fact, Shang Yuxin’s clarification was not entirely to shift the blame, she also said something that she thought her performance also had problems.

Of course, those were just polite words.

After all, everyone can see that it is impossible for the actors to have no complaints when faced with such a crew.

Besides, Shang Yuxin's clarification is quite helpless. If she really doesn't respond, and the outside world confirms her title of box office poison, it will be difficult for her to get roles, especially movie scripts, in the future.

……

But no one expected that not long after Shang Yuxin posted this Weibo.

The director of "Feng Hua" also responded.

However, compared to Shang Yuxin's long essay, his update only had a very short sentence.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have invited Miss Shang to perform in the first place. I won't consider working with her in the future."

Although it seems like a direct admission, in reality it is nothing more than sarcasm.

Xincheng Pictures did not intervene directly.

But a very intriguing statement was issued.

The content is the same as some regular company statements, which is nothing more than suing some netizens who spread rumors online.

The several marketing accounts in the screenshots are all accounts under the public relations company that Fengge cooperates with.

Most of the content is intended to remove Shang Yuxin from public opinion as much as possible.

The angle is nothing more than that Shang Yuxin is the victim. Before taking on this role, she never thought that the situation would be so complicated.

If you compare carefully, you will find that the content of these marketing accounts is almost the same as what Shang Yuxin said in the article she posted before.

These are actually all completely true.

But the key point is that no one can prove it.

That's why Xincheng was so unscrupulous in coming out and suing for spreading rumors.

Although it was not Shang Yuxin herself who directly sued, their purpose and position were basically achieved.

What is more ridiculous is that Xincheng Pictures and Chang Dachun, who had directly torn their faces apart just two days ago, are now standing on the same front.

……

Even with the situation developing to this point, the online public opinion against Su Ri'an has not subsided.

But Xu Kong also knew that there was a high probability that there would be no follow-up.

In the end, it seems that Xincheng Pictures really succeeded, and now most of the attention on the Internet has been successfully shifted to the leading actress Shang Yuxin.

As Xu Kong, who had eaten all the melons, he still felt a little sad at this moment.

In a place like the entertainment industry, it is ultimately a war of public opinion.

Because the director and investors spoke with one voice, Shang Yuxin was bound to suffer the loss in silence.

It can be seen that this incident has a great impact on Shang Yuxin. She has basically not been seen coming to Xu Kong's studio in the past few days.

……

But Xu Kong didn't expect that he had just finished eating melon in the morning and met Shang Yuxin in the film and television department building in the afternoon.

And it was that familiar toilet door.

Shang Yuxin's eyes were red, obviously she had just cried. When Xu Kong came, she was putting on makeup.

"Are you okay?"

After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked.

"Director Xu?"

Shang Yuxin obviously didn't expect to meet Xu Kong, and quickly adjusted her expression.

He smiled and shook his head: "It's okay."

However, compared to her previous seductive smile, Shang Yuxin's smile this time seemed a bit forced.

Shang Yuxin was just as Xu Kong had guessed before. Unless she was deliberately performing, she would not accept other people's comfort or sympathy.

Xu Kong didn't know what to say.

But unexpectedly, it was Shang Yuxin who was the first to break the eerie silence.

"Director Xu, are you saying that I'm really not suitable for making movies?"

Xu Kong actually couldn't understand this phenomenon, just like Chen Shuang, the movie emperor. Even now, the contempt chain between movies and TV series and online dramas still exists.

And those who are most affected are many practitioners in the industry.

But he still said:
"of course not."

"It's just that Chang Dachun doesn't know how to take pictures."

After hearing Xu Kong's words, Shang Yuxin smiled happily this time.

"Thank you, Director Xu."

She actually asked this suddenly just because she wanted to get Xu Kong's comfort.

As for whether what Xu Kong said came from his heart, it no longer matters.

……

Looking at Shang Yuxin's leaving back, Xu Kong hesitated.

He came to the film and television department this time to discuss his next drama with Yan Rui.

But after talking with Shang Yuxin, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong in making a movie first.
