They are all too deep into the drama!

Chapter 622: Some people just stir things up!

After solving the problem of too many mosquitoes, the crew was no longer troubled by them and the shooting progress was accelerated accordingly.

At the end of June, we finally completed the filming of this scene.

However, for a drama with such a huge investment, there are naturally more than one filming location.

A considerable portion of the shots will still be shot in Hengdian, and several locations in western Guangdong have also been selected for filming.

Of course, these have little to do with Huo Mingjie.

Because now Huo Mingjie has to go to promote the premiere of the movie version of "The Beauty Inside" before the main crew moves to Hengdian.

This movie was actually completed a long time ago, but the reason why it was delayed for another two months before its release was mainly because the fanfare was too grand!

The film was released simultaneously in the Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Even a few small theaters on the other side of the ocean opened a "world premiere"...

In fact, on the other side of the ocean, I guess only overseas Chinese and Huo Mingjie's fans there will go to watch it.

This so-called world premiere is very watered-down and is very different from the serious world premieres of Hollywood blockbusters!
But these days, if the mainland wants to hold a world premiere, it's basically the same operation, so no one should laugh at anyone else...

Moreover, before this, mainland films that dared to do this were undoubtedly blockbusters!
"Curse of the Golden Flower", "Assembly", "Nanjing! Nanjing!"...

Regardless of the differences in the final box office and reputation of these movies, before they were released, they were combinations of big directors, big-name stars and large investments, and they were confident enough to be called the "world premiere."

However, the movie version of "The Beauty Inside" obviously does not have these favorable conditions.

The small investment of more than 30 million is not even as much as the filming cost of the TV series version.

The leading actress is Sister Yan Xinchen, who is one of those people whose role is famous but the actress herself is not famous.

In the director column, the name written was Huo Mingjie, a man who switched from being an actor to a director and was a bit unprofessional...

It can be said that apart from the fact that the male lead is Huo Mingjie, this movie has no signs of being a big hit!

But it is precisely because of the name Huo Mingjie that this movie has been given the same treatment as these commercial blockbusters.

Whether in mainland China, South Korea or the country of cherry blossoms, the screening rate of this movie is among the top three movies of the same period.

Needless to say, Huo Mingjie's fame in the mainland is "at its peak". Even in places like Hong Kong Island, Formosa Boulevard, and Macau, Huo Mingjie is also very popular.

Back in the Country of Sakura, Huo Mingjie has been dubbed "the coolest and most noble gentleman in the sky", "the most popular among women", "the man most wanted to marry by women in the Country of Sakura", "the Chinese superstar second only to Cheng Long" and so on, and his number of fans is ridiculous.

There is also South Korea. Although it has just started to make progress, its fame and fan base are far less than those in mainland China and the Land of Sakura.

But because the box office performance of "Animal Management Bureau" and "Search" was really impressive.

There is also the drama "Shan Shan Comes to Eat" starring Huo Mingjie, which recently won an award at the 5th "Seoul TV Drama Awards" and became even more famous.

The combination of many factors, as well as the promotion of SB Company, has led to major movie theaters being optimistic about Huo Mingjie and willing to appropriately increase the film's screening rate...

It can be said that although the "world premiere" of the movie version of "The Beauty Inside" was not very good, it was still much better than other commercial blockbusters in the mainland!
Anyway, if someone else comes, he won’t be able to get such a high screening rate in the Land of Sakura or the Country of Korea!

This is the first film directed by Huo Mingjie, the title alone is very eye-catching!

Before this, after the TV series "The Beauty Inside" was broadcast and received a warm response, fans had already begun to brag that Huo Mingjie was both a director and an actor, which was really awesome.

But in fact, only the fans recognize this. People in the circle, including the general public, are conservative about this matter.

Green Shade Media excels at shooting idol dramas and has a very mature team. It is hard to say that the success of the TV series "The Beauty Inside" is solely the result of Huo Mingjie's efforts.

Many people even suspected that Huo Mingjie was just a name on the director column of the crew, and the real work was done by the assistant directors and others.

So to be honest, this movie version of "The Beauty Inside" is the touchstone that can truly prove to the public how capable Huo Mingjie is!
Thanks to Huo Mingjie's current fame and the fact that the popularity of the previous TV series version has not yet subsided, this time the movie version did not require much effort to be promoted and has already become known to the public.

The movie has not yet officially premiered, but it has already become popular on the Internet.

Various reports began to appear and related discussion topics could be seen everywhere.

Some people even opened a bet to see whether this movie would be a touchstone for Huo Mingjie to prove his directing ability, or a career Waterloo...

Not to mention, judging from the voting results, no one seems to be optimistic about Huo Mingjie.

After all, Huo Mingjie was originally an actor and had not yet seriously studied directing.

Even at such a young age, he always gives people a feeling that he is "not mature enough" and not very reliable.

At this time, most of the public opinion on the Internet felt that Huo Mingjie was too anxious.

You are so young and have plenty of time to learn, but now you are in a hurry to change your career.

Then there are a small number of black fans who publicly declared that Huo Mingjie is just seeking fame!

Huo Mingjie doesn't actually have many black fans. After all, his negative information has not been exposed or filmed, so most people don't take it seriously.

But he is not RMB after all, and there are still people who hate him.

Some think that Huo Mingjie is barbaric and that he once beat up the people of Japan and shocked "friendly countries"; some are jealous of Huo Mingjie because he became famous at a young age and has a successful career.

There are even some who simply dislike his handsome appearance...

Normally, there is no black spot on Huo Mingjie. The Internet is full of fans and positive reports. These people are hiding in dark corners and are dormant, without any movement.

And now that they have finally got the chance, they naturally can't wait to jump out and start criticizing everywhere.

"An actor is not doing his job and suddenly becomes a director? Can anyone become a director now?"

"It's just that I've been praised to the skies by my fans all along, so I really think I'm a genius!"

"Haha, you're wrong. They have Green Shade Media behind them. The company has signed several director studios, and the team is mature. The works they produce are not bad... If you ask me, if a dog is tied to the director's position, he's probably not much different from Huo Mingjie!" "Tsk, Green Shade Media can only shoot some inferior idol dramas."

"Don't talk nonsense. Green Shade Media also has a film production team. Are they afraid that there won't be anyone to act as a gun for Boss Huo?"

"If you ask me, Green Shade Media's movies are getting worse and worse. It was okay when they first made "Double Meals", but they went astray when they made "Searching" later. "Animal Management Bureau" is just hype..."

"Even so, those stupid fans still think their idol is talented."

"I don't know if I have any talent, but I'm lucky anyway. I was given such a handsome face by chance when I was born, and I can make money with any investment... If I had so much money, I could hire a group of people to help me become famous!"

"No, who knows if he has had plastic surgery. And he is the only one who knows where he got the investment news."

……

However, the most famous and obvious black fan of Huo Mingjie is the film critic "Zuoqiu Xianke" who criticized the film before it was released and was slapped in the face in the end.

Maybe he was paid to write a bad review at the beginning, but ever since the box office and word of mouth of the movie "Animal Management Bureau" successfully slapped him in the face, it's obvious that this guy really has his eyes on Huo Mingjie!

After that, he would occasionally make some sarcastic remarks in his film reviews. Although he did not mention Huo Mingjie by name, it was obvious that he was referring to Huo Mingjie.

His performance actually verified some of the sayings in the circle, such as "anti-fans pay more attention to the real person than fans" and "anti-fans are more loyal than fans"...

And by the way, this "Zuoqiu Xianke" unexpectedly discovered a niche track by accident.

That is to become the leader who waves the flag and cheers among Huo Mingjie's black fans!

No matter how small the proportion of Huo Mingjie's black fans is, there is still such a large base, and the number of people who are singled out is still not small.

Zuoqiu Xianke previously had only a few hundred fans on Weibo, but after he confirmed his "anti-Huo" stance, he instantly attracted a group of black fans, and his followers skyrocketed to tens of thousands!
Moreover, there are too many actors who secretly want Huo Mingjie to fall. Zuoqiu Xianke can earn a lot of money by publishing a serious criticism article...

Zuoqiu Xianke is quite happy doing this job which not only earns money but also satisfies his mood!

And of course, he will not be absent from this excitement.

This time it's not just a subtle mockery through film reviews, it's a direct and direct attack!

"A script that has already been made into a TV series is now being made into a movie. Kill two birds with one stone, without any extra effort.

I even thought that there was no need to form two crews, and it would be better to just edit the footage shot for the TV series and make a movie. This would save time and effort, and everyone would be happy and relaxed.

Anyway, the mainland's film market is already very bad now. All you need to do is find actors and actresses who are handsome, beautiful and famous enough to play the leading roles, and there will always be confused fans willing to buy in.

Then the movie’s box office performance exploded, easily crushing other good movies, a typical case of bad money driving out good money!
Stir it up, stir it up, some people just stir it up! They messed up the domestic film market, and made mainland films regress for decades and never develop again. I will just watch Hollywood movies from now on..."

Such an article received a very good response and was forwarded everywhere by the black fan groups.

Even many passers-by felt that there was some truth in it.

The TV version and the movie version of "The Beauty Inside" do not actually tell the same story.

But since your names are all the same, it is indeed easy to be misunderstood.

For ordinary passers-by, they may think that serving the same dish twice is a bit too much, right?
As for the public opinion fermenting on the Internet, it has a really bad impact on the movie.

But Green Shade Media did not intervene too early.

After all, the company's publicity and marketing methods have always been known for being "unconventional".

Black and red are also red, and ordinary publicity cannot achieve this effect.

The most difficult issue of clarification and whitewashing is not difficult for a movie with Huo Mingjie's fame!

After public opinion had fermented enough, we released the first version of the movie trailer.

It doesn't reveal too much of the plot, it's just a clip from one of the scenes.

The heroine played by Yan Xinchen stood there, and the male protagonists of different heights, weights and bodies slowly walked towards her.

The screen kept switching, and the male protagonist's appearance kept changing. When the two embraced each other, the male protagonist's appearance finally fixed on Huo Mingjie...

Just this one clip is enough to make people see the difference!
The content of the movie version is obviously different from the TV version. The one who will change his appearance this time is obviously the male protagonist played by Huo Mingjie!

The previous TV version of "The Beauty Inside" was already a pleasant surprise with its novel and imaginative setting.

The heroine can change her appearance, and the hero is face-blind and can only be recognized by his clothes and body movements.

No matter what form she changes into, the hero will eventually recognize the heroine...

This kind of setting makes the two people's meeting and love seem like fate, and many female viewers buy into it.

This is why the TV version of "The Beauty Inside" received such a warm response!
In the current movie version, although the setting is still the same, the characters have changed, which naturally makes people curious about the plot...

Just one day after Zuoqiu Xianke's article was published, public opinion on the Internet was fermenting, and Green Shade Media released a movie trailer.

Not only did it take advantage of this wave of popularity, but it also successfully cleared up the public's doubts.

The two sides coordinated well with each other, which even made others feel like they were performing a double act.

A considerable number of fans rushed into the Weibo comment section, and some even took the initiative to say that they did not know he was an undercover agent at first, and were willing to apologize for their previous offensive remarks...

This was originally just the fans' sarcasm, but perhaps it was too serious and some anti-fans actually believed it and started questioning Zuoqiu Xianke in return.

Zuoqiu Xianke always felt that Green Shade Media had deliberately withheld the trailer from the beginning, waiting for him to take the bait and then come forward to fight back...

But it's pointless to talk about all this now, because it affects his "personality" on the Internet, which is what he uses to attract fans and make money, and he absolutely cannot afford to lose it!
He was always stubborn, but this time he deleted his article immediately and pretended to be dead...
