Illiterate top class: three years of poor performance, become a superstar

Chapter 283: What we want is this world-shaking effect (7K)
"..."

Obviously, judging from the current on-site feedback, the success of this project launch conference is unparalleled!
Li Cheng and the others were silently thumbing their thumbs in their hearts.

The same thought echoed throughout my mind:

'As expected of Master Xu! '

Indeed, Mr. Xu easily grasped the rhythm and atmosphere of the scene, and with a few words, the conference effect was overwhelming.

Simple, direct, and extremely effective.

When they perform, they will unconsciously exaggerate the atmosphere and be verbose, and then they will be annoyed and look forward to the concise and powerful scene they must have next time.

Some of the media reporters who were invited to the scene responded very quickly and quickly remembered their own jobs.

The breaking news just learned was simply edited and released to the cyberspace as soon as possible.

In order to seize the hot spots as soon as possible.

And there is still a clear division of labor, and some reporters have begun to become agitated, looking like they really need to ask questions.

Seeing this, Xu Nian, who was sitting on the stage, stretched out his hand and said, "Old rules, everyone asks questions in order, and I will definitely answer those who can answer them."

"Excuse me, Mr. Xu, after you have achieved so many film and television achievements, why did you suddenly choose the high-risk field of science fiction movies?"

Without waiting for Xu Nian to answer, the reporter quickly added: "As far as I know, Chinese film and television have not produced a well-known science fiction work for at least 10 years."

"And as we all know, a big-budget film focusing on epic fantasy was not released recently and may become the most profitable film last year..."

After patiently listening to the female reporter's questions, Xu Nian chuckled and said: "As expected of the contestant who won the first place, the questions are very comprehensive."

There were bursts of friendly laughter from the audience at the right time.

Then Xu Nian replied: "Well... it is no exaggeration to say that it is widely expected that I will initiate and participate in a science fiction project."

"It's precisely because there hasn't been a well-known science fiction film in ten years that someone needs to do this. I happen to be very popular and have good box office appeal. If I don't make a show of it, I'm afraid I won't have many opportunities."

“I am also a member of the general public who would like to see a flourishing of Chinese-language films and television;

After all...'One flower blooming alone is not spring, but a hundred flowers blooming together fills the garden.' "

Finally, Xu Nian made a conclusion: “Of course, everyone and public friends can relax, we will not casually treat the audience;
The name of the movie must be "The Wandering Earth", and it must be entertaining enough, otherwise, it will definitely not appear in front of everyone. "

Following this question, Xu Nian basically answered all the key elements.

The rest...the rest basically has nothing to do with the film itself.

However, so many media reporters present did not intend to let Xu Nian go so easily.

: "But Mr. Xu, domestic entertainment that has not produced an outstanding science fiction work in ten years, does it still have science fiction soil?"

: "Sorry, I'm not targeting directors Li Cheng and Zhuang Hui. As far as I know, their strongest areas are not science fiction and fantasy."

: "Although the investment is high and Mr. Xu's performance level is very high, science fiction films need a hard tone."

: "..."

In response, Xu Nian still smiled and answered unhurriedly: "Let me introduce to you again Mr. Chen Yifan, who is very good at fantasy creation;
He has an unconstrained science fiction imagination, has been studying in Hollywood for more than a year, and has participated in the shooting and production of many science fiction films;
He will be the chief director and chief screenwriter of the film. "

"I believe you can see that Directors Li Cheng and Zhuang Hui have excellent plot design capabilities and excellent feature film directing capabilities."

"And we have made the best preparations and the investment is high enough."

The media reporters at the scene immediately searched for the name 'Chen Yifan' online and soon came up with quite surprising results.

Then decisively turned the gun and began a full-scale attack.

: "Director Chen, can you introduce us to the idea of ​​this new movie?"

: "Director Zhuang's ability to create plots is really good, but if you join forces, whose opinion will be based on?"

: "Director Li is very quiet today. Is he feeling unwell?"

: "..."

Li Cheng: "..."

Zhuang Hui smiled and said nothing. Chen Yifan couldn't evade it and could only simply say: "The most unique idea was provided by Teacher Xu."

"It's not convenient to reveal too much about other things for the time being. In order not to disappoint everyone, what I finally meet you may not necessarily be what I am now."

: "..."

Xu Nian said before the reporters could turn their guns again: "Don't look at me, I'm illiterate and I just talk nonsense occasionally!"

"Personally, I have great respect for the creative level of the screenwriter and the director's directing ability, and I will never take the initiative to interfere in artistic creation!"

After saying this, Xu Nian made a gesture: "Okay, you have dug out all the important information, not a drop is left."

"Thank you for coming, see you next time."

In just ten minutes, the project launch conference came to an end.

Although there was a little bit of unfinished business, the media reporters present felt that the trip was worthwhile.

The expected popularity is basically the biggest surprise they got a year ago.

I don’t know how many KPIs will be achieved.

…………

Meanwhile, the massive backlash from word getting out has begun to brew.

But what Xu Nian and his party first sensed was... the 'turmoil' happening in the offline circle of people.

After the press conference, Xu Nian just took the mobile phone from Meng Chao, and before the other party had time to speak, the call came in.

Li Cheng, Zhuang Hui, and Chen Yifan over there are also in similar condition.

Coincidentally, the first call Xu Nian received was from Movie Emperor Long.

As soon as the call was connected, Actor Long said straight to the point: "Xiao Xu has done such a big thing since he came here!"

"Be confident."

Xu Nian said bluntly: "Whatever, let's bring it out until it's almost as industrialized as Hollywood."

"Good, good!" Actor Long praised repeatedly, "This is a tough idea. What should I say? Have you reserved a role for me?"

In response, Xu Nian smiled and said, "Of course, of course. Uncle Long, don't blame me for being rude. I'm just a supporting character."

"Hahaha, don't worry, I promised to be a supporting actor in your new play."

"Then let's talk about it after the new year?"

"Good good."

"..."

After the call from Actor Long, old acquaintances such as Lin Shu, Yang Xiao, He Wu and others also called one after another.

Basically, they all praised You Jia Zhong and reminded Mr. Xu to put more thought into it and not to fall over.

He said that although he believed in Master Xu's ability, he did not believe in the level of Director Li and others.

There was a lot of fuss and laughter.

Xu Nian was in no hurry to say anything.

However, for a big book like The Wandering Earth, there are quite a lot of characters, and it can be made into an all-star cast.

Then we'll see if the big players in the industry are interested.

…………

Compared with the excitement at the press conference, once the news spread, the noise on social media platforms such as Weibo was crazy.

First of all, there is no doubt that related topics have directly reached the top of the headlines on Weibo and Weishi, driven by huge popularity.

#Xu Nian's new film 'The Wandering Earth' is launched

#5 million investment in science fiction masterpiece

#…

Leaving Weibo aside for now, the craze on Weibo has reached its peak. Countless media outlets have posted live clips, and many bloggers have created second interpretations.

There are users who are more inclined towards entertainment, and they are all filled with these in one swipe. They cannot finish the swipe at all.

Many bloggers are very excited about their second creation explanations...

"Old fans know that I have no feelings for Xu Nian. Objectively speaking, Xu Nian is indeed a perfect match in every aspect, but maybe it's because of the same-sex repulsion... But, now I have to say, Mr. Xu is amazing, I admire him!

Domestic science fiction is almost stagnant, and Wan Cheng has learned from the past. I thought no one would dare to touch these subjects, but Xu Nian...

He dares.

Not only did he dare, he made such a decision on the day of his greatest achievement in life!
You must know that he is still a traffic star in essence!Today is the moment when the film he starred in broke the historical record of Chinese film and television. He chose science fiction that may not be done by anyone in ten or twenty years. For this reason, he is awesome! "

"..."

An excited speech like this is really accurate on Weibo.

The atmosphere in the comment area is almost the same.

"Xu Nian is really very courageous. He dares to touch on this kind of subject matter, and he is serious about it. He started investing 5 million, which is quite an exaggeration!"

"I don't know how to describe it. I can only say that Xu Nian is awesome!"

"I'm looking forward to a good result. Xu Nian's acting skills are no problem, the two contestants Li Cheng and Zhuang Hui have strong plot capabilities, and Chen Yifan's science fiction imagination is very good, and the funds are guaranteed, so he will not disappoint."

"Yes, the main thing is that Xu Nian should be able to learn a lesson. He has made it clear that he will not actively interfere in artistic creation, and there will be no consequences like Wancheng."

"..."

What’s interesting is that compared to the friendly atmosphere on Weibo, Weibo, which has a better fan base, is causing trouble.

After the initial surprise, Nianhei took the lead in attacking.

"No, no, no, how big a brain is Xu Nian, so he would go into a science fiction movie so coldly? Are you going to die?"

"An investment of 5 million? It will take at least [-] billion at the box office to make it back. Is Xu Nian's box office appeal so strong?"

"You are really not afraid of death. You just want to make science fiction. You have obviously been top-notch for so long. How can you still be so arrogant?"

"It's not that I look down on you, Xu Nian, but there is no breeding ground for science fiction movies in China right now. Without that kind of grand special effects, your performance would be useless, you know?!"

"..."

On the contrary, passers-by and people eating melons were relatively calm, and seemed to be just eating melons.

"Actually, you can wait and see. Xu Nian also made it clear that it will only be released if it is entertaining."

"It's just a kick-off meeting now. As long as the 5 million is not the salary, I believe we can make a science fiction film that can be watched."

"Yes, the main thing is that Xu Nian's acting is really charming. Every drama has famous scenes that people can remember. Li Cheng and the others have publicly stated many times that this is all due to Xu Nian. They contacted Xu Nian for interviews. It’s lively and very authentic.”

"Don't worry, Xu Nian must be confident that he can hold such a high-profile launch conference, which is uncharacteristic of normal. Let's wait and see."

"..."

As usual, the New Year fans did not show up, but just watched with cold eyes.

This trend is not entirely bad.

Nian Hei's initiative to question Xu Nian can, to a certain extent, alleviate some of the pressure from public opinion he faces.

pretty good.

…………

It seems that they are afraid that the popularity of the Chinese-language science fiction film project "The Wandering Earth" will decrease slightly, and some people in the friendly circle will give up quickly.

The leader was Lin Shu.

Lin Shu updated Weibo and expressed his support simply and directly: "...This is a milestone event for Chinese film and television! I look forward to it bearing fruit!"

With Lin Shu taking the lead, some insiders who had a good relationship with Xu Nian updated their Weibo accounts.

First there were Yang Xiao, He Wu and others.

Then there are some special ones.

Zhou Yuran: "As you know, I unconditionally believe and support Teacher Xu."

Li Shiqian: "Ah... I really want to play a small supporting role and catch up with Teacher Xu's traffic~ No kidding, Teacher Xu can definitely do it."

Shao Manning: "What did Teacher Xu fail to do?"

The three of them posted their Weibo posts almost at the same time, making it look like a collective team building event.

It should be noted that before this, the three of them had played down the public opinion incidents related to Xu Nian.

On the one hand, it was Tianyue's request, and on the other hand, their popularity at that time was not stable enough, so they could only speak occasionally. If they spoke too much, they would easily lose points.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared, and the effect... the comment area directly became an activity square for fun people.

"Eh? Teacher Yuran actually still unconditionally believes in Xu Nian? How can you continue to support him when he sees someone he loves?"

"Okay, okay, Shiqian is actually obsessed with that scumbag, you're in love, right~/dog head"

"Why do I feel that this is not quite right? Manning, how do you know that Xu Nian is capable of everything~/Funny"

"So Xu Nian's character is pretty good? His ex seems to have a pretty good relationship with him."

"It's a pity that the retired singer is missing~ I always feel that something is missing."

"Let me say that the fans of Goddess Jiannian are so Buddhist that they collectively urge Xu Nian's concert. I can guarantee 100% that we will be able to see Teacher Lin."

"..."

The development of the public opinion situation is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with, the noise is getting louder and louder, and more and more celebrities are falling out as time goes by.And it is also the kind that is becoming more and more topical.

As a result, all the spontaneous voices of netizens have been squeezed into the corners.

It will be invisible for a while.

Just when the popularity of public opinion on the Weibo platform reached a peak, that is, a state of mixed praise and praise, Actor Long suddenly appeared and updated Weibo:

"I am very much looking forward to this work, which will open the door to Chinese-language film and television science fiction. I have already taken the initiative to communicate with Mr. @ Xu Nian Xu to confirm that I will participate in the performance."

The Eight Classics of Zheng'er are like "one stone stirs up a thousand waves."

The heat exploded directly.

Actor Long's public recognition on domestic social media platforms is still very high.

Although only an occasional 'team battle' can rival a top player like Mr. Xu, a group of people with strong popularity among the public are far better than Mr. Xu.

"Uncle Long has taken the initiative to participate. It seems that the door to science fiction in our Chinese film and television is really about to open?"

"Uncle Long is so optimistic about Xu Nian's stuff~ Okay, just stop saying a few words in the future."

"Eh~ The movies starring Uncle Long are not as high as Xu Nian's movies at the box office~"

"Gong Huo, right? Gong Huo, right? Uncle Long has a cameo in Infernal Affairs! Is there two kinds of box office for a movie?!"

"Okay, okay, although, I still maintain a wait-and-see attitude. The current situation is really hard to say..."

"..."

What was unexpected was that a certain big shot in the industry subsequently died, triggering an even rarer public frenzy!

…………

In winter, most cities in China get dark relatively early, and it becomes a bit gray after four o'clock.

Lu Mingkai sat on the sofa in the living room without turning on the lights, looking out the window blankly, and there was no movement for a long time.

Although Wan Cheng failed, the name Xu Nian did not disappear from his life.

And the more times it was mentioned, the more clearly Lu Mingkai saw himself.

Hongshi is surrounded by good people.

All actions will be considered correct, and you will fall into the quagmire without realizing it...

After a long silence, Lu Mingkai suddenly murmured to himself: "It's dark again."

Then he stood up and turned on the light, picked up a tablet, and started editing some text.

About 10 minutes later, he clicked publish:
"...I am very fortunate that there are still people in Chinese film and television who are willing to try extremely risky 'fantasy' themes, and they also chose science fiction.

Even more fortunately, it was Mr. Xu Nian who made this choice. Putting aside my personal preferences, it is difficult not to admit that he is the most capable and most likely person to open this door in Chinese film and television.

The size of the investment also shows the determination of Xu Nian and his partners. As far as I know, Xu Nian receives almost no pay for his personal appearances in movies, so there is no need to worry about the direction of the funds...

I only use my recent experiences and thoughts to give Xu Nian and his team some reference;
There are many reds.

When you are famous, you are surrounded by good people, and everything you say sounds nice.

It’s easy to make decisions that are obviously wrong but will be implemented, so be as professional as possible doing professional things;

The foundation of Chinese-language film and television in some categories is too shallow, and it is easy to overturn. It requires a certain ability to withstand pressure and predict the consequences...

Finally, there is a personal sentiment:

'If you stay in the dark for a long time, you are always afraid that the sun will not rise after setting, so it is best not to enter the dark night'..."

After seeing Lu Mingkai's long post on Weibo, almost all the netizens watching the melon eating were at a loss for what to say.

Regarding today's crazy topic, they had thought about many possibilities, but they never thought that Lu Mingkai would stand up and express his support clearly.

You know, Lu Mingkai has been dubbed by netizens as the contestant who is the gateway to Chinese fantasy movies.

The scolding on the Internet can be as turbulent as it is violent.

Today is even more prominent.

In almost every topic, when 'The Wandering Earth' is mentioned, the movie Wancheng is also mentioned.

It's like scolding every time you mention it.

At this time, Lu Mingkai stood up simply to be beaten, but he not only stood up, but also explained it with his own experience.

It is true that netizens were caught off guard.

"I never expected that Lu Mingkai would have such an attitude. What a surprise!"

"It can only be said that many people actually hope that Chinese-language film and television can be better!"

"Yes, Xu Nian is indeed the most promising player in Chinese film and television at present. He has the most abundant resources behind him. He himself is also the largest shareholder of Tianyue and is worth a lot of money..."

"Yes, Xu Nian's Tianyue shares alone seem to have a market value of 60 to [-] billion. It's no wonder that everyone is optimistic about him, because he is really solid!"

"It is true that Xu Nian not only has the confidence but also the strength... Lu Mingkai used his own experience to remind Xu Nian not to get carried away, which can be regarded as helping him get on the horse and give him a ride."

"Then wait and see!"

"..."

Lu Mingkai's statement is another step up, calming the already biased public opinion trend of 'wait and see'.

Some sounds are also less shrill.

In essence, those who can be so excited have a certain love for Chinese films and television.

There is also a bit of a hatred of iron not becoming steel in it.

Now wave after wave of people are unequivocally supporting Xu Nian's decision, and those groups who have spoken more sharply have also calmed down.

…………

Subsequently, the emergence of some official voices pushed the support to the peak.

The Chinese Film and Television official blog updated the news and retweeted the Tianyue official blog post about the launch of the project with the following note:

"A blessing for Chinese-language film and television."

There are only six simple words, which fully demonstrate what is concise and powerful.

Not at all ambiguous.

Mingpai expressed support.

One very important point is that the pictures in this Weibo update all feature 'Xu Nian'.

Mainly support one.

Before netizens could join in the fun, upper-level Chinese film and television authorities and some important organizations, such as the Film Association, expressed their opinions one after another.

One of the highest-level organizations forwarded news about Chinese film and television, with a few words of postscript:
"fully support!"

It's just as concise and powerful.

Countless netizens clearly saw the attitude of the upper class, so they joined in with another form of speech:

"Okay, okay, Xu Nian, you have a lot of face!"

"Actually, Xu Nian should at least be praised for his courage. Today is his most glorious day as an actor. He broke the record in film history. Choosing this time to make it clear that he will open the door to Chinese film and television science fiction is the best and most outstanding actor in my mind. There is no better actor than anyone else!"

"This is the most meaningful decision you can make as an actor. It's so cool to charge for the Chinese film and television industry at its peak!"

"Indeed, the previous sound was so confusing, it was like a swarm of questions. Isn't it a good thing to have more and better movies?"

"..."

It has to be said that the official decision had to be effective and directly reversed the entire trend.

Almost all new comments returned to rationality in a short period of time.

No more one-sided criticism.

When the group speaking through a screen returned to rationality, they discovered... Damn, Xu Nian's wave is really cool.

Who dares to make such high-risk decisions at their peak?

And it's so high-profile.

Can't wait for the whole world to know.

It is obvious that he wants to use the huge pressure from the outside world to force himself and the team to devote 120% of their energy.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized how damn handsome Xu Nian was.

In a short period of time, Xu Nian's reputation has completely reversed...

…………

Interestingly, because overseas media were directly invited to the press conference, many international voices also emerged.

Foreign media have always been known for being sharp, bold and direct.

He dares to say anything and make any speculations about an incident against China.

The trend of mainstream reports can be summed up in a few words: "Xu is imaginative."

However...overseas netizens are also the same type of players, with one main character who dares to question everything.

After all, Xu has 7000 to [-] million overseas fans.

These media reports were destroyed in minutes.

"Can you be nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars if you don't have any whimsical ideas?"

"Now Hollywood only knows how to rest on its laurels. Is there anything else that can be innovated? Just the name The Wandering Earth is cool!"

"Don't question us Xu easily!"

"As long as this movie is released in North America, I will definitely watch it at least ten times!"

"..."

This is just the beginning. After all, domestic netizens can also log in to international sites through scientific methods.

Moreover, the New Year fans group has been regularly touring international sites in the past year and speaking out at the right time.

At this moment, he would naturally end up making some simple statements in a leisurely manner.

It belongs to the category of correcting sight and hearing.

However, these are not as big as the impact brought by the demise of several international stars.

The first is undoubtedly Aunt Green from France.

Aunt Green expressed her thoughts very straightforwardly: "I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation. I am very interested in science fiction."

Aunt Green is real. She always pays attention to Xu Nian.

The feeling that something always helps.

Then there was Scarlett, who said in a humorous tone: "I have experience in many science fiction movies~"

Her attitude is a little more ambiguous, not as clear-cut as Aunt Green's.

But maybe we can actually get some cooperation.

After all, science fiction genres based on space generally have a greater sense of global participation and a greater sense of immersion for the audience.

The repeated support is tantamount to a direct slap in the face of overseas media.

The scene was very interesting for a time...

…………

…………

Xu, who easily set off a frenzy of online public opinion, was currently browsing Weibo with his legs crossed and leisurely.

Sitting next to him was Lin Jia Nian, who was rustling and busy around.

She has a certain understanding of the news on the Internet. Now while tinkering with the fruit plate, she said: "It's not like you to make such a big news."

"We didn't always do things in a low-key manner before, and then..."

Xu Nian interrupted without raising his head: "Then the publicity resources obtained by each movie are seriously insufficient, resulting in the box office always needing fermentation and brewing?"

"Ah..." Lin Jianian looked like he suddenly realized, "So that's what it means."

"But why is it being discussed all over the world?"

"Isn't it a bit too much to start a fight? I know you will be fine, but the doubts will still affect your mentality."

Hearing this, Xu Nian replied without thinking: "This is the effect we want."

"The result is pretty good. Aunt Green took the initiative to express her position. Scarlett from Hollywood is also a bit ambiguous. Maybe she can get a guest appearance."

“Much better than expected.”

Lin Jia Nian, who was confused after hearing this, first stuffed a cherry into Xu Nian's mouth, and then asked, "How do you say it?"

Xu Nian chewed the cherry and said vaguely: "I want to try something different."

In the past, domestic entertainment actors went to the world by entering Hollywood, cooperating with Hollywood, and so on.

Now Xu Nian wants to do the opposite.

Let international actors, including Hollywood stars, co-operate in Chinese-language films, and then drive Chinese-language films and television overseas...
