China Entertainment Zero Two Ordinary Actor

Chapter 864: Bad Movies vs. Hollywood

Chris Hemsworth, who plays Thor, and Chris Evans, who has been lifting weights for years, were not convinced. They strode forward together and said, "Stephen, we will not let you win easily this time."

Chris Hemsworth put his hands on his hips and said confidently: "The power between the two of us is no joke!" His tall and mighty body exuded a sense of oppression, like an insurmountable mountain.

Chris Evans flexed his arms, eager to try, and said, "Let me show you our true strength." His eyes were burning with fighting spirit.

After the match started, Fang Yu pretended to be defeated and his arm was gradually pressed down.

He frowned slightly, with an expression of effort on his face, as if he had really encountered a strong opponent.

When Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans saw Fang Yu's performance, they thought victory was in sight, so they tried harder with excitement on their faces.

Chris Hemsworth shouted: "Just try harder and we'll win!"

Just when everyone thought Fang Yu was going to lose, he suddenly exerted his strength, knocked down the two men at once, and successfully won the victory.

Everyone was stunned. It took them a while to react and they cheered and applauded!

There was a gleam of disbelief in Olsen's eyes, her mouth slightly opened as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just uttered an exclamation: "Wow!" Her face was filled with excitement and joy, and she was obviously extremely excited about the scene just now.

Scarlett was also shocked. She looked at Fang Yu with admiration and respect in her eyes. The two of them rushed towards Fang Yu almost at the same time, their cheers full of surprise and excitement.

Driven by excitement and excitement, Ao Mei couldn't help but hug Fang Yu and kissed him on the cheek.

This sudden action surprised Fang Yu, but it also made a smug smile appear on his face.

Seeing this, Scarlett was not willing to be outdone. She smiled and walked forward and kissed Fang Yu on the other cheek.

Her kiss was full of playfulness and joy, and she was obviously genuinely happy about Fang Yu's victory.

This scene made the surrounding male actors dumbfounded.
Robert Downey Jr., Ryan Reynolds and other actors present all showed envious expressions!

Who doesn’t want to be hugged by girls?

They looked at Fang Yu with surprise and admiration in their eyes, obviously admiring this colleague with amazing strength.

Who would have thought that a yellow man could beat two white people who were working out at the same time? It's incredible!
"This is incredible!" Robert Downey Jr. couldn't help but exclaim.

Ryan Reynolds joked: "It seems that we have to re-evaluate our training plan, otherwise even the actresses are better than us! They almost beat Stephen just now."

Fang Yu felt both embarrassed and happy as he was surrounded by kisses from the two actresses and cheers from the people around him.

He smiled and shook his head, then said to everyone: "Okay, okay, this is just a friendly match, we are all family, Weah is tired~"

At the press conference for the movie "Fengshen", Xiang Jia invested a lot of effort, invited a large group of celebrities to support her, and also tried to create a star-studded epic production.

She invited top-tier celebrities such as Jet Li, Fan Jinsuo, Huang Xiaoming, AB, Heigu, Liang Jiahui, Wen Zhang, Xu Qing, Liu Dehua, Zhang Ziyi, and even internet celebrities such as Pa Pi Jiang, Jiaoshou Xiaoxing, and Luo Fengjie to join in. Such a lineup is extremely rare in the film industry.

The Xiang family has only one goal - to beat Fang Yu at the box office!
She firmly believes that as long as enough stars join in, she will be able to attract audiences and win box office.

At the premiere, Shota even made a bold statement, saying that his film "The Gods" would definitely make more than 1 billion yuan at the box office.
However, on the day of the media preview, the film was panned by critics.

The film was criticized for its weak plot, over-reliance on special effects, and shallow characterization.

Faced with such negative reviews, Xiangjia did not reflect on the quality of the film itself, but instead believed that these media people were paid to deliberately discredit her film.

She angrily spoke out on social media, criticizing these media outlets for taking money from black people.

Shota wrote on Weibo: "The preview reviews of "Investiture of the Gods" are out, and there are so many negative voices? I don't believe these so-called film critics, they must have been paid by others to deliberately discredit our movie! Our movie has so many big-name stars and the special effects are top-notch, how can it not be good? These media people are really heartless!"

Xiangjia’s remarks immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens.

There were immediate internet trolls who supported her point of view, believing that there are indeed some problems in the current film review industry, but more normal people believed that she was avoiding the problem and was unwilling to face the shortcomings of her own film.

However, Shota did not back down from the controversies.

She continued to express her opinions on social media, and even called on fans and audiences not to believe these so-called professional film reviews, but to go to the cinema to watch "Fengshen" and judge the quality of the film for themselves.

Although Xiangjia's approach has aroused the audience's curiosity to a certain extent, it has also caused many people to question her movie.

She didn't realize that the success of a movie doesn't just depend on the star effect, but more importantly on the quality of the movie itself and the audience's reputation, and she got obsessed with it.

Maybe it was because she looked down on Fang Yu from the bottom of her heart, thinking that Fang Yu became famous by chance, and that Fang Yu's box office was high because he was famous.

After two days, Shota could no longer sit still.

At first she just scolded the media, but after the preview ended, the screening data was also released.

After checking the screening schedule, Shota discovered that his film "The Legend of the Gods" lagged far behind Fang Yu's previous films in terms of the number of screenings.

Even compared to movies of the same period, it’s a bit out of reach.

This made her feel very angry and confused.

Driven by emotion, she cursed directly on Weibo and tagged the cinema chain, publicly questioning why "The Legend of the Gods" was given so few screenings.

Shota: I really can't understand why "The Legend of the Gods" has so few screenings? Our movie has so many first-line stars, huge investment, stunning special effects, and a carefully crafted plot. I want to know what the theaters are thinking to give us such unfair treatment? #The Legend of the Gods is unfair#
As soon as this Weibo post was released, it immediately attracted widespread attention and discussion from netizens.

Among the many voices, a special person responded to Shota's doubts. He was Wang Hisong, who was known as the entertainment industry's basic prosecutor, but was actually the son of the chairman of Wanda Pictures. After seeing Shota's doubts, Wang Hisong decided to respond with his usual sharp words.

Wang Sicong@Shota: Since you are so confident, I will analyze the badness of "The Legend of the Gods" for you, so that everyone knows what a truly bad movie is.

Oh, by the way, in order to reply to you, I went to the cinema at home to ask for permission to watch it, and the result was just as I expected. What a waste of my time!

First of all, the plot is as bad as shit. What kind of story is this movie about? It's a mess, not even as good as an elementary school student's composition. The interaction between the characters is illogical, and the plot twists are more exciting than a roller coaster, but none of them make sense. The audience was confused after watching it, thinking, what did I watch?
As for the character creation, it is a joke. Every character in the movie seems to be stolen from other movies and has no personality at all. The performances of the leading actors seem to be going through the motions, and their acting skills are buried by the special effects and gorgeous costumes. The supporting roles are even more decoration, and their appearance seems to be just to prove how high the budget of the movie is.

In terms of special effects, although a lot of money was spent, the effect is like watching a 50-cent online game advertisement. There are so many CG images that it is dazzling, but there is no sense of reality. The abuse of special effects makes people feel that the movie is just showing off skills, not telling a story.

As for the film's art design, it is even more speechless. The character's appearance and costumes are exaggerated, and there is no aesthetic feeling at all. The color tone of the whole film is so monotonous that it makes people wonder if the director is color blind. This monotonous aesthetic is simply a rape of the audience's vision.

The film's promotional strategy was also awful. Before the film was released, the film's promotion relied entirely on the star effect and hype, but the audience cried out that they were cheated after watching the film. This kind of promotional method is simply deceiving the audience, turning their expectations for the film into disappointment.

Finally, I want to say that as an art form, movies should be based on content rather than stars and special effects. The failure of "The Legend of the Gods" is because it did not even do the most basic storytelling well. No matter how many stars and special effects there are, they can't save a bad movie.

So, Xiangtai, if you really want to beat Fang Yu at the box office, then start by improving the quality of your movies. Don't always complain about the lack of screenings, but reflect on why the audience is unwilling to buy tickets to watch your movie. Only in this way can you truly win the hearts of the audience and win the recognition of the market. Don't think that you can fool the audience by inviting a few stars. Today's audiences are not so easy to fool. #封神神话烂片#
Wang Shicong's caustic comments were undoubtedly a wake-up call to Shota!

Some people have always been at odds with Wang Shinong, but this time it seems that Wang Shinong has reasons and grounds for his criticism, especially since he stood on the side of the people.

When Shota saw Mr. Wan’s 800-word film review, he almost vomited blood!

Look at the number of likes.

Wow, it has exceeded 90 and is heading towards one million!

Weibo's hot search was also marked with a "explosive" word! The exposure reached 500 million times!

Originally, I could have recovered some funds quietly.

Now that’s good, audiences all over the country know that The Investiture of the Gods is a failure!
Who would go to see this!
Even a fool wouldn’t go!

Even the fans of some big names have publicly stated on Weibo that it is the company's decision on which movies to take and it should not be attributed to the actors themselves. They also urged everyone not to go to the cinema to watch the movie if they don't like it, and to wait until the movie is available online and then scroll down the progress bar to watch their idols.
The movie has not even been released yet, but it has already been criticized.

This kind of thing has never happened to the Xiang family in their entire lives.

That night, Shota was so worried that he couldn't sleep.

This is a big movie with an investment of 400 million!
If we want to recoup the investment, we have to triple it and the box office must reach at least 1 billion.

According to the current situation, if the revenue can reach 100 million, it can be considered a success.
In particular, it offended several cinema chains.

Shota could have foreseen that that brat Sicong would directly reduce the schedule of The Myth of the Gods to the lowest level.
Without the screening schedule of the largest cinema in the country, we are in real trouble this time!
Shota thought he should ask someone in the industry.

So, a phone call was made to the home of a well-known director.

At Brother Kai's house, the atmosphere at dinner seemed a little weird.

Brother Kai sat at the head of the table. He tried to communicate with his family in what he thought was an elegant English tone, even though his English sounded a little poor.

"Hello, my dear family," Kai said in a deliberately imitated English accent, although it sounded a little funny, "It is such a wonderful thing for us to have dinner together tonight."

His wife and son, sitting on either side of the dining table, exchanged glances and tried their best to hide their awkward smiles. Kai continued, "Recently, I read a very good book called The Pursuit of Happyness. It's a very inspiring story."

"In the book, it says, 'The will to win, the desire to succeed, and the urge to reach your full potential are the keys to unlocking your inner creativity.'" Kai Ge used the philosophy of life he understood to educate his son and wife. Although his English was very poor, he tried his best to convey the profound meaning of the book.

"Well said!" Chen Hong clapped his hands.

"Three grams of oil," Brother Kai suddenly blurted out, trying to express his gratitude, but his pronunciation made "Thank you" sound like "three grams of oil", which made the servant standing nearby almost laugh out loud.

Kai cleared his throat and continued in his broken English accent: "I think we should all learn from this book, be brave, be strong, and pursue our dreams with all our heart."

His son Chen Feiyu stood aside. Although there was no bench to sit on, he was touched by his father's words. He responded in English: "Dad, I understand. I will do my best to live up to your expectations."

Kai's wife chimed in in English: "Yes, dear, we are all proud of you and will support you in everything you do."

Just then, Kai's cell phone rang. It was Shota calling. He picked up the phone and said in his broken English accent, "Hello, this is Kai. Is there anything I can do for you?"

On the other end of the phone, Shota urged anxiously, "Speak English! Speak Mandarin! I have something to talk to you about!"

Kai listened and responded in his confident but poorly pronounced English accent: "Don't worry, my friend. We will find a way to solve this problem together."

"Okay! Let me tell you, do you know that I've been hacked recently?!"

When Kai heard this, he was a little upset, thinking, is that a lie? Aren’t those all facts?
"Yeah, I've heard a little bit about it." Brother Kai nodded.

"I know that when you were filming "No Promise", netizens criticized you. Your three-point movie also encountered the same thing as mine. However, yours was triggered by a video, and this is an article. What did you do at the time to prevent the box office of the movie from being affected so much?"

After Shota finished speaking, the person on the other end of the phone had a gloomy face.

"Hello? Hello? Oh, hello? Sorry, the signal here might be a bit bad. Oh, let's talk next time, let's talk next time!"

Brother Kai hung up the phone and muttered to the dining table: "No one is allowed to say bad things about my child! Ten years later, someone will definitely understand!" (End of this chapter)
