The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 487 Enlightenment
Chang'an Avenue is an east-west axis of the capital, starting from Dongdan and ending at Xidan.

On both sides are CBD, Wangfujing and Tiananmen Square
It was late at night, the streets and alleys were brightly lit, and Tiananmen Square looked even more solemn under the night sky.

Liu Shishi propped up her head, looked out the window, and said, "I wonder how many people will gather here on National Day."

"It was 150,000 last year, and it should be more this year," Lu Yuan recalled.

Every year on October 1st, for the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square, tourists come from all over the country, with the number ranging from hundreds of thousands to as many as two hundred thousand, creating a huge crowd.

"Unfortunately, I had already joined the crew at that time." Liu Shishi muttered. "Xuan-Yuan Sword" started filming on September 9th.

"It's okay, I'll take some time to come over and take a look for you, and send you a photo."

"whee."

Liu Shishi talked in a low voice, and Lu Yuan occasionally responded.

At the fork in the road, an ostrich suddenly jumped out, running at a confident and arrogant pace, overtaking many cars along the way.

"Wow wow wow wow~"

The police car chased after them, swearing.

"Fuck, this is the capital city, it's really awesome, ostriches are walking on the streets at night."

Many pedestrians on the road exclaimed and took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

"I told you that I saw ostriches on the street when I was a kid, and they were much more spectacular than this, with more than a dozen of them running around at the same time. You still didn't believe me and said I was lying."

Liu Shishi shrugged her nose at her boyfriend and happily stretched her cell phone out of the window.

She waved her hand and urged: "Master Lu, drive faster. We haven't seen each other for many years. Let me take a photo and post it on Weibo."

"Any faster would be speeding."

Lu Yuan's forehead was full of black lines. The night in the capital was extremely wild.

This bird looks ugly, but it is quite fast. I estimate its speed to be around 50 kilometers per hour.

After being caught up by a police car with great difficulty, the traffic police got out of the car and started to catch people, but the ostrich kept dodging.

Liu Shishi laughed so hard that she fell down.

Because animals' behavior is not controlled by will and they cannot understand what the traffic police are saying, catching them is more difficult than catching a suspect.

And when the bird gets anxious, it pecks people.

The two stopped the car on the side of the road and watched for about ten minutes.

Lu Yuan flipped through his phone out of boredom. There was a lot of noise online about the charity gala tonight.

They are nothing more than trivial matters, and many of them are started by the celebrities themselves.

He sent a message to Lu Jing, taking this opportunity to hype Liu Xinyu up and get her on the rankings.

Everything is done, and the ostrich has not been caught yet.

He reminded his girlfriend: "It's time to go back."

Liu Shishi was still not satisfied and asked curiously: "Brother, they both have two legs, why can they run so fast?"

"good question."

"Hmph." She raised her chin proudly.

"The reason is simple, because your legs are short." Lu Yuan answered without hesitation.

"What? I'm ignoring you."

Liu Shishi showed the back of her head. The stinky man was so annoying. He only knew how to make her angry.

Lu Yuan was just asking for some peace and quiet.

After the party, this girl never stopped talking all the way, chattering like a sparrow, making my head hurt.

It was strange that after a moment of silence, he felt a little uncomfortable.

So he made small talk: "Who is Yang Mi dating? Why haven't I heard you talk about it before?"

Miss Liu didn't say a word when asked, she just lowered her head to check her Weibo, and secretly swore in her heart that if she bothered with this guy again tonight, she would be a dog.

Seeing her expression, Lu Yuan grinned and changed the subject: "What did you two talk about in the bathroom just now?"

Miss Liu continued to remain silent, puffed her cheeks, and began to look for headphones in her bag.

When you hate someone, even if his voice is good, you still like him very much.

"Forget it, you probably never quarreled with anyone."

After being together for so many years, Lu Yuan knows his girlfriend inside and out. He can make her cry, laugh, and clamor for more. In short, he has the perfect control over her.

"Nonsense!!" She was really furious.

"You didn't see anything at all. I just said one sentence and she was so angry that her face turned black."

"Okay, okay, I'm talking nonsense, I'm talking nonsense." The guy rubbed her head, then grabbed her little hand and kissed it on his mouth.

Liu Shishi pouted and wanted to pull her hand back, hoping that it would be coaxed away, which made her feel so embarrassed.

She was half-heartedly pulled into his arms and explained, "Some time ago, the media took photos of her and Liu Kaiwei shopping together in Hengdian."

"Who is this?"

"An artist from Hong Kong. They met during the filming of a movie."

Lu Yuan hummed softly. He was not interested in the love life of that junior sister, but was a little curious: "Does Lao Hu know about this?"

"I should know." She was unsure.

"Even if he knew, he would probably pretend not to know for the sake of face."

Liu Shishi blinked and smiled like a little fox: "Why don't I find a chance and accidentally send the picture to him."

Lu Yuan pinched her nose and said with a smile: "Who did you learn these naughty tricks from?"

"Of course it's my dear teacher Lu."

the other side.

Su Mang came back from the company, put on a facial mask, and took a comfortable bath in the bathtub.

“Forty is the second blooming season for women. A forty-year-old woman, with money in her purse, can support herself, have enough food and clothing, and live a refined life.”

There was a TV mounted on the wall to the left of the bathtub, playing an emotional variety show.

The host is a man with short hair, wearing black-framed glasses, and has a stern face. He looks quite serious, and his eyes are always staring sharply at the camera.

Su Mang closed her eyes and listened to Tu Lei's magnetic voice for a while.

She could foresee that tonight's charity gala would spark widespread discussion.

By the time I got off work, several topics related to the party had already made it into the top ten of the list.

The group photo she posted on Weibo, the pictures of the banquet taken by the media at the scene, and Han Geng's interview in which he boasted that the box office of "The Great Warrior" would be on par with "Love Is Not Blind" and he would strive to surpass it, all sparked heated discussions among netizens.

Not only that, Fan Bingbing also posted a photo with Li Bingbing.

In the photo, the two of them are sitting at the same table, close to each other.

But Fan Bingbing herself seems to have undergone a separate whitening treatment. In comparison, Li Bingbing looks as dark as an African mixed-race person.

Li Bingbing naturally couldn't accept this, so he used all kinds of tricks.

Netizens were very excited and were looking for all kinds of details.

Watch female stars compete to see who has the most stunning look, check whether male stars use insoles to increase their height, and predict whether couples will get together to show their affection.

Su Mang smiled proudly, this was exactly the effect she wanted.

Her original intention in establishing Bazaar was to organize a gathering of major celebrities every year while doing charity work.

Only by continuously deepening netizens' impression of the Bazaar Charity Gala can we expand the influence of this party and Harper's Bazaar itself.

For the celebrities who come to participate, this will be a platform to gain exposure.

As the influence expands and the platform is established, there is no need to worry about lack of support.

Therefore, she would always find ways to create topics and arouse discussions among netizens.

But things are different now. After entering 2011, the concept of "traffic star" was born and the era of fan economy began to emerge.

Celebrities may have their own vested interests, so even if they feel dissatisfied, they may hold back and not care.

But the fans may not agree, and this group is difficult to control.

That's right, they were talking about Liu Shishi, Yang Mi, Han Geng and others.

"Wow~"

Su Mang reached out from the bathtub, shook off the big red rose petals on her arm, took out her cell phone, it was her assistant's call, and she answered it.

The assistant panted and said, "Sister Mang, our Weibo account has been attacked by netizens!"

"What? We were rushed?" Su Mang felt unbelievable. This was the operation in previous years, so why did an accident happen this year?

The assistant made it short: "Liu Shishi posted a photo of herself and Lu Yuan's black and white diamond bear on Weibo. Yang Mi's fans got the news from somewhere. They thought Yang Mi was wronged at the auction tonight because we shouldn't have arranged her and Liu Shishi at the same table. Liu Shishi's fans refuted that Yang Mi was scheming and deliberately stood on tiptoe when taking the photo."

"Any more?"

"Other female stars' fans saw this and joined in the fun. Also, Han Geng's fans were criticized by Liu Shishi's fans because they were too jumpy."

"What's going on?"

"Uh." The assistant on the other side seemed to be organizing his words, and said, "They said Han Geng didn't know how to respect his predecessors. When he was interviewed, his scheming was too obvious. He almost wrote on his face that he wanted to step on Lu Yuan to get to the top. He doesn't know his place."

When it came to Lu Yuan, Su Mang straightened up from the water and asked hurriedly, "What does this have to do with Liu Shishi's fans?"

“Sister Mang, you may not know that since Lu Yuan’s official announcement, his fans have become very Buddhist.

They used to curse at some press releases on Weibo, such as that a certain new generation of actors’ acting skills were comparable to or even better than Lu Yuan’s, as well as some groundless slander, but now they are too lazy to pay any attention to them. They only pay attention to Lu Yuan’s works, urging him to join the crew to film and start new dramas every day.

But Liu Shishi’s fans can’t stand this kind of thing, and maybe because they are young, they often quarrel with others in the name of standing up for their brother-in-law.”

"."

Su Mang ended the call and quickly opened Weibo.

Among the top ten, several are related to Bazaar.

#Ostrich spotted on Chang'an Street#
#Our black and white bear#
#Bazaar Charity Night Club Donations Set New Record#
#Blink of the Fairy#
#Yang Mi was wronged at the charity night#
#Charity Night, two ice hockey teams compete, Wang Xuexi has a black face throughout the whole process#
#Liu Xinyou's rolling eyes#
Su Mang clicked on them one by one from top to bottom and saw chaos, with fans of different groups arguing with each other.

"What's wrong with 'The Great Warrior'? Wu Zun and Han Geng are two powerful idols. They have good looks, good acting skills, and fans. Lu Yuan himself said it. It's 2011 now. 'Love Is Not Blind' is a thing of the past. How can it be impossible for 'The Great Warrior' to surpass it in box office?"

"How old is the person above? Has the internet just been connected to your home? You took my polite words seriously."

"Your director, Ai Dajin, drove under the influence, causing four injuries."

"Don't you really know who Han Geng is? Take a good look at the interview with the reporters tonight. He pretended to be the real boss, saying that Lu Yuan is his senior and has a good temper, so he gave him face and encouraged him."

"Well, they are the same age. I looked at Baidu Encyclopedia and found that Han Geng is a few months older than Lu Yuan."

"Haha, Han Geng's fans are going to be so pissed off. Lu Yuan is suppressing the younger generation, and no one dares to jump out."

"Liu Shishi relied on Lu Yuan's support to bully Yang Mi unscrupulously. Our Mimi is so pitiful."

"If you have the guts, ask your master to find one too."

"Whoever bullied me, Lu Yuan was just a bystander the whole time, okay? Don't speculate on others with your dirty thoughts. The picture is proof that Shi Bao and Yang Mi were staring at each other, and Lu Yuan was secretly happy, but was warned by Shi Bao's fierce look. Hehe, it was fun."

"After arguing for so long, I still can't get to the point. What caused the problem? Aren't these all intentional arrangements by Ba?"

"."

Su Mang opened her Weibo and saw fans from all over the place, asking her why she was deliberately causing trouble.

She took a quick look and saw fans of Liu Shishi, Yang Mi, Liu Yifei, Lin Chilin, and the two Bings.
Among them are actually fans of Huang Xiaoming.

When asked why she let her leader wear such high insoles, she didn't even remind him that the insoles were as high as Lu Yuan's. What if the leader fell?

This is a troublemaker.

Su Mang feels very aggrieved. You are the ones who want to eat melons, and you are the ones who despise you.

When something went wrong, she was the one who took the blame in the end. She felt sad and wanted to cry.

Well, Su Mang doesn’t think this is a bad thing. On the contrary, through this heated discussion, Bazaar’s reputation has reached a new level.

She first called several parties involved one by one to comfort them and apologize.

Immediately afterwards, he wrote a short essay on Weibo.

"I'm really sorry to everyone present tonight. You have done so much, donated so much money, and yet you still have to endure so much injustice, misunderstanding, and criticism. But please netizens, please believe in the beauty and don't be suspicious. Look at the world with kindness. All the mistakes are my fault. I am wrong."

As soon as this Weibo post was published, it gained sympathy from many netizens.

"Sister Su Mang is right. I think Sister Su Mang is a person who is truly enthusiastic about public welfare. Nothing is impossible for her. Come on, our kind-hearted Sister Su Mang."

"It's really not easy to hold this charity event every year. Sister Su Mang has put in so much effort and care for all these things. It's really hard work."

"."

Su Mang turned off her phone, thinking it would be easiest to fool netizens.

Continue next year!

"The Great Warrior" was a flop on release, and Han Geng said box office is not important to actors!"

"The box office of The Great Warrior on the first day was about 615 million, and the total box office is estimated to be less than 5000 million."

"Andrew Morgan said that The Great Warrior was the first film he invested in that lost money, but Ai Dajin refused to respond."

"Han Geng's fans accused the cinema of stealing box office revenue, with other movies' names written on the tickets on the premiere day."

"When the reporter mentioned Love Is Not Blind, Han Geng had a dark face and said nothing."

"Liu Shishi posted a photo of her movie ticket for The Great Warrior on Weibo."

June 9, afternoon.

Lu Yuan finished promoting "Number" and returned to the villa.

"Just watch the movie, why post on Weibo?"

In the study, he was talking on the phone with his girlfriend in Hengdian.

Liu Shishi said unhappily: "I just want to tell them that not every cat or dog is qualified to compare with you. Think about yourself in the future."

"How's the filming going?" Lu Yuan smiled. This little guy has quite a bad temper.

"The acting skills of the two new actors are too poor, and Lao Hu relies on himself as a producer and changes the script at will. If he changes it again, he will become the male lead."

The two of them chatted for half an hour until Liu Shishi's next scene started, then they ended the call.

Lu Yuan put down his phone, looked at the script of "See You Tomorrow" on the table, and fell into deep thought.

"The Great Warrior" took the fan marketing route because of the participation of Han Geng and Wu Zun, attempting to rely on fans to continue the box office miracle of "Far Cry", but the effect was not as impressive as the latter.

To be honest, this was a little beyond his expectations.

Before the release, he knew that the box office would not be able to surpass Love Is Not Blind, but it should not be a problem to exceed 100 million.

In the end, even 5000 million was not enough.

So he is a little unsure about his investment in "See You Tomorrow" now.

Is it worthwhile to invest in Hanhan?

Lu Yuan looked out the window, tapping the table with his knuckles, feeling quite relieved.

The fan economy has huge drawbacks, and the essence of movies is that content is king.

If the fan economy can achieve good results on the big screen, then capital will inevitably intervene. The present of the small screen will be the future of the big screen.

Therefore, the failure of "The Great Warrior" is a good thing for the entire film industry, as it means that moviegoers are becoming more rational and will not blindly follow the trend.

But he couldn't understand why the difference in their results was so huge.

Judging from the content, "The Great Warrior" is actually slightly stronger than "The Lonely Island".

While he was thinking, a brown curly-haired Teddy caught up with the Husky not far away, raised its two front legs and started attacking crazily.

It hurts the eyes.

"Hey!"

He slapped his forehead and suddenly realized that there was a problem with his analysis.

Movies require real money to buy tickets to see the movies, and fan marketing can only temporarily boost box office sales. The quality of the movie itself is always the core.

These are all right.

Perhaps the big sales of Far Cry are not only due to fans buying tickets, but also to passers-by.

What supports them to go to the cinema is the most primitive desire of human beings.
