Entertainment: The joy of being a director is beyond your imagination

Chapter 144 144. I told you to ship CP, who told you to ship CP like that!
Pei Ran left the theater amidst the almost fawning support of the crowd. While in the car, Liu Wanqing curiously asked Pei Ran why he went to so much trouble to cooperate with Happy Muggles?
Pei Ran laid the seat flat.

He answered casually, "Of course it's for money. Before I went in to watch the play, I told you about installing automatic ticket machines in theaters of all sizes, paying Huaying for the licensing fees for the film copyrights they own, etc... These are all huge sums of money."

"Then wouldn't it be a bit too risky to cooperate with a ragtag group like Happy Muggles that has never been involved in a movie?"

"No, I know my limits."

Liu Wanqing agreed with this, "Boss Pei's ability to grasp the right measure is really amazing. He always makes me feel so good..."

"Hey, you're making dirty jokes, right?"

"Haha, isn't it my period... I'm just making a dirty joke, but my good master can't bully me~"

"You are also on the invincible time card."

Pei Ran lay on the car seat, his eyes fixed on the roof, his hands gently caressing Liu Wanqing's plump legs. After a moment of silence, he asked, "How about I find you a sister? The kind that can share a quilt?"

"What do you mean? You want to cheat on me?"

"On the contrary, I want you to cheat on her."

"My dear master, do you think I can't satisfy you?"

Without waiting for Pei Ran to speak, Liu Wanqing smiled and said, "My dear master, don't think I know nothing. Who knows if you, my little fellow, cheated on me when you were out filming... For example, Jing Tian's mysterious boyfriend, Yang Mi's rumored male protagonist?"

"You've guessed all this?"

Pei Ran answered in a calm tone as if nothing had happened.

"I'm just guessing, dear master, don't be nervous."

"Nervous? You're overthinking it." Pei Ran closed his eyes and rested. "I'm happy for you. You, Liu Wanqing, can cuckold so many female stars at the same time. You must feel very excited and happy, right?"

"So, dear master, is there really something going on between you and them?"

"A person lives to the age of 86, all thanks to eating and drinking well." Pei Ran did not give a direct answer. He brought up this topic purely because he was bored. He mentioned the matter of sharing a quilt with good sisters in front of her, just in case he really wanted to have a threesome in the future, then this could be considered as desensitization training.

Pei Ran chatted with Liu Wanqing about all sorts of things, and soon he fell into a deep sleep in the car.

Take advantage of the time while waiting for the traffic light.

Liu Wanqing's gaze fell on Pei Ran.

Talk about it, talk about it, make trouble.

She knew in her heart that there would be no happy ending for her and Pei Ran. At best, she could only be his lover, and that required her to remain beautiful and maintain her plump figure.

The sisters in the same quilt as he mentioned, wearing green hats and so on...

Any woman would reject him, but she also knew that she had no right to reject him. Could such a man be with her peacefully until old age? Impossible, not to mention that she was divorced...

Sadness is shaking my heart.

Therefore, Liu Wanqing actually didn’t care that much about Pei Ran’s romantic scandals and the like. All she wanted was for Pei Ran to spend time with her when he was free.

As for other women, it doesn’t matter if they have it. At most, I can just ask him to wash in advance every time... Forget it, I’m too lazy to think about it.

If only what her evil master said about beauty and anti-wrinkle and anti-aging was true... She would not only use it internally, but also apply it externally!

Whatever, just enjoy the present moment.

At the age when I most wanted to be, I met the toughest man.

Happy sisters again!
……

After chatting with Happy Muggle.

Pei Ran stayed in the company for a few days, handling miscellaneous matters and so on, while also waiting for Lierishaoxin's review and whether Huaying was willing to license the movies they owned the copyright to Maoyan app.

July 13th.

The two pieces of news came out together.

There are a few small sections in Burning Sun that need to be revised.

Han Sanping called and said that Huaying was willing to support the online movie ticket business platform plan first proposed by Bupei Media, and promised that the film copyrights they held could be authorized to the Maoyan app.

Of course, as for the licensing fee...it should be paid!
Pei Ran naturally had no objection to this.

On July 16th.

Maoyan app is officially launched.

At the same time, most cinemas in first-tier cities began to be connected by Bu Pei Media and put into use Maoyan brand ticket machines. After booking tickets on the Maoyan app, you only need to verify on the ticket machine to directly pick up the movie.

In the first few days after the Maoyan app was launched, it did not cause much sensation, because people nowadays are still accustomed to buying tickets at the cinema front desk or booking tickets by phone. The convenience of the Maoyan app, which can be said to be a cross-era product of the film industry, has not yet been known to people.

In this regard.

Pei Ran was not in a hurry either.

Two more days passed.

The "Sun Also Rises" has passed the review after some minor changes to the scene.

The film was reviewed in the morning and the release date was booked in the afternoon.

At six o'clock in the evening, Bu Pei Media issued an announcement.

It was announced that Pei Ran’s third film, Burning Sun, will be released on July 30th!
Pei Ran retweeted this Weibo post.

And wrote: "Looking forward to seeing you all in the cinema. Oh, by the way, you can book movie tickets in advance on the Maoyan app, and you can also choose your seats~"

The topic immediately became popular and became the hottest topic on the search list.

In addition to discussing Pei Ran’s new movie, many netizens were also wondering... What is this cat's eye?
Curious netizens immediately went to the app store to check, and indeed it was there. They downloaded it and clicked to check it out. They were first surprised by the wide variety of film information on Maoyan.

In addition to film information, there is also single-day box office data, first-week box office data, total box office data and other information of previous films.

But what shocked them the most was the seat selection function, and the fact that new users could randomly draw a cashback amount for their first ticket purchase. The biggest prize was a free ticket?!

Fuck.

I've seen people eating and free meals, but I've never heard of anyone watching a movie for free.

No Chinese person can resist the temptation of discounts or even free meals.

Of course, there must be some behind-the-scenes manipulation behind this.

Otherwise, if Pei Ran organizes this activity, he will only lose so much money that he will have to go find rich women to sell their goods, and he will lose money.

In addition, Pei Ran also used Pinxixi's tricks to get discounts on new users, with an immediate discount of 5 yuan! Of course, this activity is only limited to the upcoming "The Sun Also Rises"~

For example, the recently released Transformers 3 does not enjoy this activity, but other activities are still supported. Many users immediately ordered the Transformers 3 movie through Maoyan.

Found this thing to be surprisingly useful.

So, on July 18th.

The number of users who downloaded the Maoyan app exceeded 300,000 in one fell swoop.

In the following days, Pei Ran frantically mobilized his network of contacts and called on Fan Xiaopang, Yang Mi, Jing Tian and other actors who had worked with him before to help repost the Weibo to promote the Maoyan app.

Some small celebrities who wanted to curry favor with Mr. Pei also took the initiative to help promote him.

Don't ask why not promote "Burning Sun" as well.

Because promoting Maoyan is the same as promoting The Sun Also Rises.

Maoyan’s opening advertisement is “Scorching Sun”.

...Time passed quickly and it was July 25th.

In the past few days, Maoyan app has been on the hot search list from beginning to end. In addition to the tap water traffic from netizens who have used it, there is also the reason of Pei Ran's ability to use money.

And Maoyan’s rapid rise.

It also made other companies jealous.

Except for those companies that started copying after getting Bu Pei Media’s plan to develop an online ticketing platform, the most powerful companies in Red Eye are Ali, Tengxun, and Baidu.

But could Mr. Pei not have thought of it?

Idiot, buddy is a cheater.

The Internet's hard truth that "plagiarism kills originality" does not work for me. I have already taken preventive measures, such as requiring theaters that connect to the Maoyan app to sign exclusive contracts, hiring internet trolls in advance to issue public opinion "battles" to several companies that want to plagiarize, etc.

Besides, Pei Ran is different from these Internet giants.

He has been in the film industry from the beginning to the end, so many viewers, based on the "preconceived" concept, actually recognize Pei Ran more.

Fuck you, in a word.

If you have the ability, you can copy it, but Pei Ran will not eat the big fat man in one bite. He will not leave any piece of the cake of the online ticketing platform for others. Those few pieces will cause public outrage, so Pei Ran will not do it.

If you want to make this money, then you have to come and discuss financing. There are easy ways to make money right in front of you. Who would be so stupid as to go and make money while being scolded?

In his previous life, Ali copied Tao Piaopiao, but what was the result?

On the surface, it seems to be making money, but for the manpower, material resources and funds invested by Ali, it is actually a loss-making business.

The other side.

Because of the sudden emergence of Maoyan.

As a result, the strong films in July of the summer vacation have become stronger and the weaker ones have become weaker. The films released at the same time as Transformers 3, The Last Airbender, The Piano in Full Steel, etc. have all suffered great "setbacks".

Oh, by the way, I have to say that Far Cry was the film that Yang Mi was originally scheduled to star in, but because Pei Ran intercepted the role, the crew chose a new actress.

The actress chosen was Yang Ying, a big darling who made her mark in the film industry with her leading role in the movie Love in a City.

But well...

Old pervert: What a joke! Can a horror movie without grandma be considered a good movie? !

So even though July is the month for protecting domestic films.

However, because Transformers 3 was too popular, a situation of "one super and many weak" was formed for a while.

At this time, the release dates of two suspense blockbusters, "The Sun Also Rises" and "Searching" directed by Chen Kaige, have brought hope to Chinese-language films!
Yes.

The release date of "The Sun Also Rises" has just been confirmed.

Immediately thereafter, the search was set.

Because the relevant entries on the Maoyan app have always remained on the list, searching for the release date news does not seem that eye-catching.

……

However, the release date of "Burning Sun" is approaching.

In addition, the popularity of Maoyan gradually declined, so in the end the two films and Transformers 3 still made it to the hot search list. In addition, there is another big reason.

That means Chen Kaige is willing to accept defeat.

A Weibo post was posted as requested by Pei Ran.

It was when the paparazzi said a few days ago that Mimi and Xixi were having sex with Pei Ran at the same time, and Pei Ran, who was extremely evil at the time, came up with a nasty idea. He asked Chen Kaige to post on Weibo saying that Pei Ran was a rising star in the film industry, and finally added the sentence "If you break his wings, I will destroy your paradise".

Pei Ran also replied.

The two interacted across the air.

Pei Ran almost laughed to death.

He was really afraid that after what he did to Chen Kaige, she would simply never touch Weibo again.

Similarly, netizens also enjoyed the show.

But soon, a group of inexplicable people jumped out. They did not look like rational neutral netizens, nor did they look like spectators, nor could they be said to be netizens who were just there to have fun and fan the flames.

They do great things quietly.

They are fucking CP!

Your mother!

I'm so straight! Are you fucking supporting this couple?

Pei Ran was so angry that he laughed.

When those who like to have fun saw this, they were like, "Oh my god, is there such a thing?" They immediately used their talents to fan the flames and watch the fun.

Crazy promotion of this hot entry.

Fortunately, an unknown force suddenly intervened.

This couple's extremely outrageous trending searches were instantly wiped out. As for who caused the murder... a steamed bun was the cause of the murder!
After this incident, netizens gradually shifted their focus to the movie itself, because the existence of Transformers 3 has put Chinese-language movies under great pressure and they can't even raise their heads.

"I believe Director Pei can beat Hollywood this time! The box office of Burning Sun has surpassed Transformers 3!!"

"I believe it, too. Didn't Director Pei's first film collide with Inception? It almost surpassed it at that time. Maybe after such a long period of accumulation, Director Pei can really surpass it once!"

"To be honest, if Pei Ran wins this time, Chinese-language films will stand up from now on, and the offense and defense will be changed!"

"Why are people all wondering if Director Pei can beat Hollywood? Why is no one wondering if Kai Ge can beat Hollywood?"

"Haha, there's no need to say more about this."

"Don't even mention Kai Ge. If there are two more Pei Rans, it will be a 3. This is one of the most classic Hollywood movies. It's impossible! Don't even think about it."

"The moon is rounder abroad, right? You bastards who worship foreign things!"

"Honestly, it's really unlikely. Transformers 3 is not only popular in the North American market, it's already one of the best films in the world!"

The situation was very hot and people were saying all kinds of things on the internet.

But Pei Ran simply ignored it.

Because it is not necessary.

If he has the time, why can't he chat with Fat Fan who suddenly shows up, or handle more work and participate in some promotional activities?

But compared with the latter.

Pei Ran decided to choose the former first.

"How is it? Was the information I disclosed to you correct? Director Chen Kaige obviously wants to fight with you to compete for the dividends of the suspense film track."

Fan Xiaopang emphasized the three words "anal".

Obviously, she has also read those comments about supporting the couple.

Listen to the voice of Fat Fan pretending to be serious while trying to hold back his laughter.

Pei Ran's mouth twitched several times, "Just be tough, why should I be afraid of him?"

"Really? Aren't you afraid of his anus?"
