City: Become a principal from junior college!

Chapter 476 The powerful star student!
The article published by this great director was immediately noticed by countless netizens who came to join in the fun after hearing the news.

The content of the article was so exciting that netizens said it was so enjoyable.

In the article, it talks about the unfair competition in which capital now uses money to boost box office and promote stars.

He also talked about the inside story of various online marketing.

There are also situations where film production in theaters is not based on quality, but on relationships and background.

Various shady stories in the film and television industry are written in great detail in the article.

The big director angrily criticized these behaviors, which are extremely harmful to the development of the film and television industry.

Although in the article, no one dared to mention the name of Star Academy by name.

But combined with today's box office rankings.

All fools know that when the great director posted this article, he was blaming Star Academy.

A well-known director opened fire on the now famous Academy of Stars.

This is undoubtedly big news.

It immediately appeared on various marketing accounts, attracting more attention.

And this article undoubtedly helped the great director win the support of most netizens.

After all, most netizens have never watched "Charlotte".

Everyone only knows that Charlotte’s Trouble at Star Academy was originally made as a major online movie.

The box office on the day of release was only 3 million.

As a result, the number increased day by day, reaching 20 million on the third day.

A major online movie that was entirely directed by students has achieved this level of box office success.

It is indeed unreasonable.

Not to mention that the great director's reputation has declined in the past two years due to the quality of his works and the fact that he praises his own son.

But after all, he has made achievements and has many fans.

Therefore, most netizens are undoubtedly on the side of the great director.

"I know that Xingchen Academy treats students well and cares about students, but this time it insists on putting a major online movie in theaters, which is indeed something wrong."

"I also think so. This time Star Academy relies on its ability to make money and forcefully sells tickets to students. It really disrespects the practitioners in the film and television industry."

"It is indeed too much to rate a major online movie at a higher level than a major production carefully shot by a famous director. This is stepping on the face of a famous director and favoring a student."

"Because I watched Overlord before, it was a pirated version, so I always felt that I owed the great director a movie ticket, and I will go to the cinema to pay it back tomorrow..."

"I haven't had time recently, but I decided to take time to support the great director tomorrow."

"I have always had a good impression of Xingchen students. I am half a fan, but I have lost my fandom this time."

"I feel like the film and television industry is hopeless. Even if a conscientious company like Star Academy comes in, it will be complicit."

The vast majority of netizens sided with the great director and criticized Star Academy for abusing superpowers.

Among them, there are a large number of navy troops trying to fish in troubled waters.

Created a hot search topic about owing a movie ticket to a great director.

We must help the great director seek justice.

It aroused the enthusiasm of many netizens for watching movies.

Although among them, there are also many viewers, such as Marison, who have watched "Charlotte" and were impressed by the quality of the film, who are speaking for the Academy of the Stars.

But most of the audience was actually silent.

Therefore, in this wave of support for great directors, there is no wave at all.

And a large number of Xingchen students who were on summer vacation saw that their college was hacked, and they also went online to compete.

But they were obviously no match for the professional sailors, and they were defeated one after another.

……

So, on the fourth day.

A film by a great director that was originally squeezed out of the top three in the single-day box office list.

During this wave of popularity, not only did the decline stop, but the box office even soared.

It jumped directly to the first place in the single-day box office list, reaching 40 million.

This made the great director happy.

This wave of his own has undoubtedly proved his influence.

There is no doubt about his ability as a great director.

Although there are trolls trying to stir up the emotions of netizens.

But it was hired by the company, what does it have to do with me?
A great director like myself would not do such a thing just because of the popularity.

However, the great director was still a little surprised when he saw that the second highest-grossing movie in a single day was actually a movie from Academy of the Stars.

But then a sneer appeared.

This Star Academy is really willing to spend money on students.

But so what if you have money?

It’s not like he’s going to be stepped on by himself.

The great director curled his lips and no longer cared about the movie "Charlotte".

Today is Saturday and tomorrow is Sunday.

More people will have time to watch movies.

Judging from the current popularity on the Internet, my movies will skyrocket again.

As long as you keep yourself in check, it looks like it will exceed 2 billion before it is released.

If he really succeeds, he will be completely transformed.

……

But when the time came on the fifth day.

The great director opened the file sent by the staff in a happy mood, ready to admire his achievements in defeating the powerful opponents and continuing to be far ahead.

But when he saw the title of the top-grossing movie, his eyes widened.

"Charlotte Troubles" - a single-day box office of 40 million.

How can this be?

The box office of Charlotte Troubles actually reached 40 million?

Calculated based on the cost of ticket sales, Star Academy would have to spend at least 70 million.

Although Xingchen Academy has money, it cannot treat money as money.

Tens of millions of dollars were wasted casually, just to support a group of students, right?

But the great director immediately felt something was wrong.

The last time her box office hit 40 million in a single day, Charlotte was worried that even if it was 40 million in a single day, it would be the same as her last time.

But yesterday was Saturday.

There are more viewers who have time to watch movies, so it stands to reason that the box office should soar a lot.

But why did Charlotte reach the top with just 40 million?

Where is my movie?
The great director hurriedly looked down.

Found myself in second place.

But the single-day box office has dropped to 30 million.

Impossible, this is absolutely impossible.

How could my box office plummet so much on Saturday?
The great director immediately thought of another possibility.

I was robbed of my box office.

This is a very dirty trick in the film industry.

Only a few film and television companies would do this in order to cash out their market value, or to set records, or to suppress their opponents.

To put it simply, it is to take advantage of the control over the theater.

The audience bought tickets to watch movie A, and movie A was also played in theaters, but in fact, the backend system recorded these movie tickets as movie B.

It is equivalent to secretly giving A's box office to B.

This is called box office stealing.

How could it be possible that my box office revenue of 40 million on Friday dropped to 30 million on Saturday?
If it wasn't for stealing the box office, I would just stand on my head and wash my hair.

Besides, a great director like himself can get a share of the box office.

If the box office is stolen, it is equivalent to stealing your own money.

The great director was completely angry now.

Your Star Academy just caught an honest man and raped him, right?
Tolerable or unbearable.

So, this time the great director turned against him directly.

I wrote the next article confidently again and posted it on my account.

The most important thing is that the great director directly named him this time.

He angrily accused Star Academy of stealing his box office.

And demonstrate your point of view in various logical ways.

In short, the great director took the risk.

Star Academy is awesome.

But because of his status, there is no need to look at the face of Star Academy.

If you dare to do the first grade of junior high school, then I will dare to do the fifteenth grade.

Let the face of your Star Academy be completely brought to the ground.

He just wanted to make a big deal out of this matter.

Thinking of the shareholders of Xingchen Animation Company, Wanda Cinema, Maoyan and other large groups in the film and television industry.

The great director immediately turned off his computer and mobile phone.

No one can come to me to intercede and let this matter go.

……

The great director has no worries about food and clothing, although few of the films he has made in recent years have made a profit.

But relying on capital operations, transactions, etc., I have already reached the level of financial freedom.

He has villas in various places.

Every time after filming a movie, I go to a villa deep in the mountains and forests to retreat. Regardless of how the movie went, the character is still maintained.

And now the great director happens to be in a villa in the mountains.

Nowadays, as soon as the mobile phone and computer are turned off, making a pot of tea and looking at the clouds and mist on the mountains, the great director even feels like a fairy.

This is life.

And in the afternoon, the director was thinking about whether to turn on his cell phone and see how many people were calling him.

There was the sound of a car braking outside the door.

It could be heard that he was a little anxious.

The director picked up the phone and immediately put it down.

A calm smile appeared on his face. No, he couldn't be reached on the phone. Someone was already driving to the mountains in a hurry to look for him.

The great director doesn't really intend to die.

After all, everyone can see that Star Academy has a lot of capital and influence, and it also has a film and television base abroad.

If we can cooperate, I might be able to make a film that will become a global hit.

So it is better to cooperate and win-win.

Of course, it’s definitely not possible to just say a few words about this matter. You are a famous director and you have no temper?
So I wanted to make a statement to clarify the misunderstanding.

Star Academy should at least give its son a leading role in Sleeping Immortal.

The role of Lu Dongbin is good.

Just as the director was thinking about how to bargain next, someone had already entered.

He is his partner all the time and can be regarded as his boss in a sense.

I have invested in basically all of my movies, and there are countless collaborations behind the scenes.

He is a well-known tycoon of a listed company.

The great director did not expect that the boss of Xingchen Academy would personally be the lobbyist.

But after thinking about it for a while, I wasn’t too surprised.

After all, Xingchen College is now more influential than Qingbei, so it is reasonable to invite the boss.

I saw the boss hurried in, even with sweat on his face.

The great director immediately smiled, stood up and invited the other party to sit down and drink tea and talk slowly.

But I didn't expect that the big boss would overturn the tea case directly.

"You suddenly posted such an article, are you crazy?"

The great director was stunned when he heard this, and then said with an embarrassed face: "The box office theft was all stolen from me. Do you think I should swallow my anger?"

The big boss was so angry: "Stealing the box office? Who stole your box office?"

"You don't know how the movie went this time, do you?"

"If we can finally imitate Mr. Xing and make a lot of money by selling movie tickets, we will make a lot of money. Do you really think you have swept the summer season?"

"The night after the damn marketing was over, the ratings that I had managed to build up with the help of the trolls plummeted a lot. The Internet was flooded with people scolding us for being deceived, scolding you for not being able to tell a complete story. I can’t even delete it all…”

"With the reputation being like this, isn't it reasonable for the box office to drop?"

"What? Do you really think that the company is invincible just because it has a navy?"

what?
The great director was stunned when he heard this...

Reputation collapsed last night?

How can this be?

Great directors are proud people and are always confident in their own works.

I don’t like to hear bad things.

When he made a well-known bad movie, the host asked him what to do if his new movie didn't live up to expectations.
As a result, he scolded him so much that his career almost ended.

So over the years, no one would say to his face that his filming was bad.

And the big boss relies on him to boost the stock price, so naturally he won't say much.

Now I was told by my big boss that the film was bad in front of me, and when I turned on my phone, I found that the reputation of my new film on Douban had really collapsed.

The score dropped directly from the original 7.9 to 5.9.

As we all know, it is difficult to say whether Douban films with a score of six or above are garbage.

But if it scores below six points, there is absolutely no controversy, it is 100% bad.

And read the comments.

It's basically a denunciation.

Some yelled with emotion.

There is also a reasonable and well-founded analysis of why this film is so bad.

One person even wrote this: I didn’t want to watch it at first, but because of the hot topic of signing a movie ticket, I couldn’t help but think back to the movie king of the year, so I bought a ticket to watch it.

But after watching it, I couldn't help but think of a saying I once heard. The outstanding performance of the fifth generation directors was based on the excellent literary works of that era.

I didn't quite agree with it at first, but after watching this empty and boring movie, I agreed with it for the first time.

It turns out that the great director was quite calm when he saw the curse.

But after seeing this movie review, I was completely shattered.

But he still suppressed the anger in his heart: "So what if Star Academy didn't steal my box office? Didn't they also steal it?"

The big boss curled his lips and said, "Are you going to see if others are using it? You were surpassed by a group of students based on the quality of their videos."

The great director was completely unconvinced now.

What a joke.

No matter how poorly you shoot it, it’s still a decent movie.

Can it be surpassed by a crude online movie produced by a group of students?
What a joke.

However, when he checked the news about "Charlotte Troubles", he was shocked.

Because it's only one day.

Charlotte's troubled reputation is a direct reversal.

The day before yesterday, there were basically negative comments.

Looking at the results now, it's all praise.

There is something funny about the praise.

Praise people for establishing a solid body.

The story is enjoyable to read.

The story has connotation and is highly ironic.

It was almost praised to the sky by netizens.

The great director's first reaction was disbelief.

How can it be?

Did Star Academy realize that just boosting the box office was too obvious, so they also boosted word-of-mouth?
However, the big boss has no face: "There are only so many navy companies. If there is anyone who takes orders, I can send you a message to find out."

"No brushing!"

"And my daughter also went to see it with her classmates last night. She said it was very funny. Although the protagonist is very bad, it is the best comedy movie she has seen in the past few years..."

At this time, the great director was obviously a little unable to hold on.

If he is surpassed by the ability of Star Academy, he can actually accept it.

After all, his money making ability is indeed strong.

But he was actually stepped on by a group of students with works that were standard for major online movies.

This is such a blow to self-esteem.

The great director couldn't help but look at the article he posted today.

Unlike last time, the following was full of cynicism.

Some people say that when you watch a bad movie for the first time and accuse a good movie of stealing the box office, it's like a poor student accusing a top student of plagiarism to get a high score in the exam.

They all said that they stole a movie ticket from them and asked him to return the movie ticket.

The great director felt dizzy looking at these.

This slap in the face came too suddenly.

But the great director still has his own stubbornness.

He once again retorted to save his respect: "Comedies are easy to make hits, and the films I make are not purely commercial."

"This is the audience that can't do it."

"In ten years' time, the audience will definitely understand my movie, and they will all apologize to me then."

As he spoke, he saw the big boss' face getting darker and darker.

The great directors no longer wanted to show their respect, and some of them said in vain: "Even if their quality is really not bad, so what?"

"Even if I hack the Star Academy, so what?"

"We don't rely on Xingchen College for food? No matter how awesome Xingchen College is, will he get us in revenge?"

The great director indeed feels that he is worthy of the Academy of Stars.

After all, no matter how awesome Star Academy is, it can't control itself.

However, upon hearing this, the big boss became even more furious. He kicked over the screen behind him and smashed the antique vase.

"Are you using Star Academy to take revenge on you?"

"Even the damn Xingchen students can't handle it."

"Do you know how many Xingchen students you offended by publishing your article today?"

"A group of students majoring in Xingchen Film and Television began to study based on our news and financial reports, how much money we pocketed during the filming process. All the data were reasonable and well-founded. I thought there was a traitor in our company..."

"Since noon, investors everywhere have been calling me, asking me if it's true, how much money I hacked them, and asking me to pay back..."

Hearing this, the great director's face froze.

The film and television industry is actually quite a trap for investors.

For example, if an investor invests in a movie and the box office seems to be very high, he thinks he has made a profit.

As a result, I was waiting for a penny, but there was no penny.

If I ask again, the movie is at a loss.

How much money was spent on special effects, how much money was spent on actors, and how much money was spent on post-production publicity? Anyway, the losses were obvious, leaving investors speechless.

But in fact, the bosses behind these special effects companies, actors, and investors may be directors and producers...

Even before the movie was released, they were making a lot of money just relying on the support of investors.

It would be better not to mention this, but if the data were listed.

The investors are absolutely determined to beat them to death.

The great director's financial freedom now is also related to these operations, so he is particularly panicked...

Although he had always known that the students from Star Academy were powerful, the director did not expect them to be so powerful.

The great director felt a little regretful at this moment.

If I had known this, I wouldn’t have posted that article this morning.

The great director immediately wanted to delete the article, apologize and say it was a misunderstanding, and try to make things right.

However, the big boss hasn't finished speaking yet: "In addition, students majoring in Xingchen Finance also ran out, and they caused us even greater trouble."

Hearing this, the great director was stunned?
Xingchen Finance Major?

He does know this profession.

In fact, I have a nephew who wants to major in finance at Xingchen College, but he is a few points behind.

He relied on Star Academy to enter the film and television industry in the future, and he would definitely give himself a bit of a thumbs-down as a great director, so he went to find connections to get his nephew into the industry.

As a result, Xingchen Academy didn't care who he was and refused directly.

This is also one of the reasons why the great director was dissatisfied with Star Academy and was so impulsive this time.

After all, he was so disrespected.

The great director who has always been petty-minded will definitely not forget it easily.

However, the Xingchen Finance major has only been open for a year.

The students have just finished their freshman year.

What can such a group of students do?

The great director really doesn’t understand.

But after hearing what the big boss said next, the big director really couldn't stand and almost fainted.

This time, I seem to have really offended someone who shouldn't be offended.

If I had known that Xingchen Academy was so difficult to mess with, I would not have attacked Xingchen Academy by name even if I was crazy.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world...
