It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 809: Ruining the classics, ruining the original work, ruining the image; Ali’s new project? Planning is in progress…

In a blink of an eye, it is already July 7th.

What makes everyone extremely excited is that the A-share market, which once made countless people's heartbeats accelerate and their blood pressure soar, now seems to be brewing a rebound.

Although its steps are slightly staggering and the amplitude is still small, the upward trend is like a spring bud, revealing tenacious vitality.

The heated discussions on the Internet surged like a tide, and every tiny change touched the hearts of countless people.

And those investors who have been sticking to the stock market have determination in their eyes and shout the names of experts, as if those predictions have now been verified.

On the other hand, those who left the market early seemed to have missed out on something and were trying to cover their positions in a hurry.

However, amidst all the noise, there are also people who remain calm and rational.

Because they know that greed and fear are eternal themes in the investment market. The rebound at this moment may only be a brief recovery. The road ahead is still long and they need to move forward with caution.

However, for those listed companies, this rebound is undoubtedly a timely relief.

After all, their market value had already suffered heavy losses in previous declines, and now they finally see a glimmer of hope for recovery!
Huayi took advantage of this opportunity to release a number of positive news, hoping to return to its former glory.

After the fluctuations in the past few days, Huayi’s market value has dropped from 900 billion to 750 billion, with 150 billion evaporated out of thin air!
This gap is really terrible. If it is not filled quickly, there will probably be big trouble in the future.

At the same time, just as the stock market is "about" to recover, competition in the summer vacation movie season has gradually become fierce.

After three days of screening, "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" has successfully achieved box office results of 1.74 million yuan, and the daily increase in box office on the most recent day has even reached 7087 million yuan!
There are many doubts on the Internet, and some people are even analyzing whether this movie was inflated at the box office?

Otherwise, how could it be possible to achieve such high box office results despite such bad word of mouth and reviews?

"Huh? I want to boost the box office? Do I really need to boost the box office?"

Looking at the doubts on the Internet, Brother Chen Kai snorted coldly, and his impression of those ordinary people was lowered to a higher level again.

In his opinion, the reason why the box office of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" is so high is clearly a symbol of his directorial ability and the quality of the film.

He now has reason to suspect that the negative reviews online were most likely posted by internet trolls hired by competitors.

And if nothing unexpected happens, it is probably the navy hired by "Sicario"!

The latter was released for two days. After the box office exceeded 4000 million on the first day, it soared to more than 6000 million on the second day, so that the total box office exceeded 1 million.

This rate of achievement improvement is really too suspicious.

"Haha, no need to guess, it must be a box office hit!"

Brother Chen Kai muttered something, took out his cell phone and made a call, then gave several orders in a chattering manner.

That afternoon, many press releases about the box office success of "Sicario" suddenly appeared on the Internet, attracting the attention of many people.

Chen Fei also saw these press releases, but he didn't care at all.

Don’t you know whether he has been brushed or not?
Could it be possible that the screening rate and attendance rate reported by Pan Asia Cinemas were wrong? Are movie fans so blind that they can't even tell right from wrong?

"Go investigate where these news releases are spreading from. At this time, there are still people using such despicable means? How stupid!"

While giving the order, Fade Chen already had a rough answer in his mind.

If nothing unexpected happens, this must be the arrangement of the great poet Chen. After all, only a "proud" person like him would make a move in an open way.

And the way to deal with it...is actually very simple.

After his men quickly investigated the situation, Fade Chen directly ordered: "Since the great poet Chen wants to play, then play with him.

All the people who have been assigned to review our film need to move around a bit. Remember, don’t follow the crowd and post negative reviews. We need to post positive reviews, and they must be extremely exaggerated and praise “The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain” to the highest level possible.”

"Huh?" The head of the public relations department on the other end of the phone was confused: "Boss Chen, why is this happening? He's using tricks on us, but we're helping him instead. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Fade Chen laughed and explained, "You have to know that people actually have a rebellious mentality."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other party understood instantly!

You know, the authorities have banned a lot of accounts recently, causing a lot of complaints online.

It was obviously you who made the mistake and changed your mind every day. It would be fine if you didn't repent, but you actually wanted to suppress it by force!
This operation will indeed be effective in the long run. After all, although the Internet has memory, it cannot remember something for a long time.

But in the short term, netizens' anger was shifted to Brother Chen Kai and the movie "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", resulting in a lot of negative reviews online.

At this critical moment, if a large number of positive reviews suddenly appear, it will undoubtedly stimulate the rebellious psychology of a large number of netizens.

By then, I think the situation will be extremely exciting!

"Mr. Chen, you still have a trick!"

"Okay, let's make arrangements."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei couldn't help but reveal a bit of anticipation in his eyes.

He really wanted to see how Brother Chen Kai would respond when faced with the "siege" from the entire network.

……

This summer vacation is destined to be turbulent!
The next morning, when "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" and "Sicario" were in theaters, several movies and film and television companies announced their new projects.

The first to make its grand debut is "A Chinese Odyssey 3"!
At the press conference, the much-anticipated cast was officially announced, and the news quickly dominated major news headlines and trending search lists.

The participation of actors such as Wu Jing, Xie Nan, Han Geng, and Tang Yan has undoubtedly injected new vitality and highlights into this classic work, and has also made movie fans' expectations for this film reach an unprecedented level.

However, with the announcement of the starring lineup, heated discussions on the Internet also followed.

One of the most talked-about topics is how "Wolf Warrior" Wu Jing will interpret the classic role of Tang Monk?

You know, as an indispensable soul figure in "Journey to the West", Tang Monk's image of compassion and extraordinary wisdom has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

But Wu Jing’s screen image doesn’t seem to have much to do with Tang Monk, right?
Many netizens are secretly speculating, could it be that the Tang Monk in "A Chinese Odyssey 3" is of the same origin as Fahai played by Zhao Wenzhuo in the movie "Green Snake"?

"Snake demon, I need you to help me..."

In addition to the role of Tang Monk, Erlang Shen played by He Jiong also attracted widespread attention.

You know, although Erlang Shen does not appear much in the original "Journey to the West", his majestic and mysterious image is unforgettable.

The most classic interpretation of this image is undoubtedly Jiao Enjun in "The Lotus Lantern"!

But there seems to be no comparison between He Jiong and Jiao Enjun, right?

As expected, Teacher Liu jumped out immediately and logged in to complain:

"Destroying the classics, destroying the original work, destroying the image... for the sake of some bullshit 'nonsense', they are simply going to any extreme, and their actions have no bottom line..."

Looking at the news online, Fade Chen was speechless.

Wu Jing owed so many favors to people in Hong Kong Island that he had to risk his own reputation to repay them.

Fortunately, he has almost repaid his favors in recent years, otherwise if he had taken on a few more bad movies, his popularity with the audience would probably have been affected!

……

In the morning, the attention of the film and television industry was almost all focused on "A Chinese Odyssey Part Three", but when it came to the afternoon, the attention of the entire entertainment industry was attracted to Alibaba Pictures.

Just because, after months of preparation, Alibaba finally officially announced a new "film and television drama" project!
Just like the previously announced Love O2O, this time, Alibaba is also preparing a movie + TV series project plan. The media has already published relevant reports online:
"This afternoon, Alibaba Pictures held a very grand film and TV drama project press conference, officially announcing that it will launch a film and TV series adapted from the popular online novel "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms"!"

"It is reported that "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" is an ancient style novel written by Tang Qigongzi. It tells the story of the fairy love story of Bai Qian, the Queen of Qingqiu, and Ye Hua, the Prince of Jiuchongtian, who experienced three love-hate entanglements and finally became a couple."

"According to industry experts, Eternal Love can be classified as a major IP, and its popularity is not inferior to that of The Journey of Flower. Developing both a movie and TV series version can earn Alibaba at least 20 billion in revenue!"

"According to reliable sources, Eternal Love was previously a project under Pony.com, but was later purchased by Alibaba for a huge sum of money."

"This TV and film project press conference is just a warm-up. On July 7, Alibaba will invite many actors and artists in the industry to come and experience the love story of 'Bai Qian' and 'Ye Hua' and join in the celebration!"

As news releases were released one after another, the internet exploded in an uproar.

In less than half an hour, the popularity of "Eternal Love" exploded, and the topic and discussion soared, and it became a hot search on Weibo!

Along with it came heated discussions and excitement in the entire film and television industry.

For many netizens and novel readers, this may just be a very popular online novel that is going to be adapted into a TV series and a movie, and that's all.

But for people in the film and television industry, it means: a leading lady + a surge in the number of fans + a surge in status and value + an explosion of popularity...

Looking around, no matter which one it is, it is a fatal temptation for the actresses in the circle, not to mention so many conditions added together!

All of a sudden, countless brokerage companies and artist studios heard the news and bought up the original novels one after another and sent them to major female stars in the circle.

……

"Mi Mi, this is a great opportunity!"

On the set of "Jade Dynasty", Zeng Jia excitedly told Yang Mi how popular "Eternal Love" is right now.

The more Yang Mi listened, the brighter her eyes became!
At this moment, she thought of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and "The Journey of Flower"... The popularity of these TV series is the best proof of "Eternal Love".

"If you can get the lead role in both the movie and the TV series, then it's no exaggeration to say that you will become the most popular and talked-about female star right now, bar none!"

Hearing this, Yang Mi was already itching to go: "The casting rules press conference will be held on July 7th, right? I will be there then."

"Yeah, that's right." Zeng Jia responded while taking out a gold-stamped invitation from her bag: "This is an invitation letter from Ali."

Yang Mi took the invitation letter and glanced at Fan Bingbing who was wearing motion capture equipment on the set. She asked casually, "Have you found out? Who are my competitors?"

Zeng Jia was well prepared and listed them all: "What about Yang Ying, Ni... Tang Yan, Bai Baihe, Jiang Yiyan... Liu Shishi, Guo Caijie, Jing Tian... Zhou Dongyu, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang... They could all potentially become your opponents."

When hearing the name Liu Shishi, Yang Mi frowned subconsciously.

"Sicario" has been extremely popular recently, and Liu Shishi, as the leading actress in the film, has undoubtedly seen a surge in popularity, overturning all the infamy she had suffered before.

If she also participates in the competition of "Eternal Love", she will undoubtedly be one of the biggest competitors.

Finally, when she heard the name Liu Yifei, Yang Mi frowned and asked in disbelief, "Are you sure? Will Liu Yifei also participate in the competition for the role?"

If she were to compete with others, she thought she would still have confidence.

But if it comes to competing with Liu Yifei for roles, let alone her, even the four most popular actresses in the domestic entertainment industry, the two Bings, one Shu and one Tang, will probably have a hard time.

She is the first Cannes Film Festival winner in the Chinese entertainment industry. "The Worst Person in the World" is still in theaters. Who can compete with her?
Zeng Jia also frowned at this time: "According to gossip, people from Alibaba have been frequenting Hongxingwu recently, and it seems that they are playing the trick of 'visiting the thatched cottage three times'. I guess they want to invite Liu Yifei to play the movie version of 'Bai Qian'."

"Forget it, let's see what happens when the time comes." Yang Mi sighed: "Send me a copy of the original novel first, I'll take a look at the specific content and then make a decision."

"it is good."

Zeng Jia responded and quickly left the set.

……

A day passed in a flash, and when dawn came in England, Chen Fei received a call from Jiang Xurou.

"Mr. Chen, Alibaba is too arrogant. It's just a drama called Eternal Love, isn't it? They're treating it like it's the only one of its kind in the world. They're even saying they're going to surpass the highlight of The Journey of Flower? Ha, I just laughed. How about I use Princess Agents to attack them?"

Chen Fei was a little amused and said, "How can you compare yourself to those big scammers? They are on the Internet, and they pursue popularity and hype. Can you outsmart them?"

"If we compare hype, then we definitely can't beat them." Jiang Xueruo suddenly changed the subject: "But the TV series we produce are of high quality, which is our biggest advantage.

Since Alibaba loves to hype, let's just go along with it, just like "The Journey of Flower" and "Gu Jian Qi Tan", didn't they rely on quality in the end? "

This made a lot of sense, and Chen Fei was speechless.

Finally, he could only shake his head and responded: "Then you can do whatever you want. If you have any difficulties, call me and I will arrange for someone to assist you. Regarding the Internet... I do have some experience."

"Okay, I'll arrange it now."

After hanging up the phone, Fade Chen took the opportunity to check the latest news online while having breakfast.

Looking around, the drama "Eternal Love" is really a hit, ranking first on Weibo's hot search list, and the topic is extremely explosive!
It is impossible to say that Alibaba did not contribute to the success, but the novel itself is indeed very good, which is one of the foundations for its huge success.

While refreshing the list, Chen Fei also saw a new piece of news that was ranking third on Weibo's hot search list.

“Ode to Joy has been on the air for a week and its ratings have been rising steadily. The latest episode ranked first in the ratings charts in the same period.

A phenomenal TV series has officially kicked off, and the new model of domestic dramas with female themes has triggered a viewing craze..."

After seeing this news, he was immediately happy: "Huh? Did I succeed in slapping him in the face?"

He still remembers clearly that when the drama was first aired, it was questioned by many people inside and outside the circle because its ratings ranked 12th in the country.

At the beginning, some people said that the slogan "Feiyue Films only produces high-quality products" might fail because of "Ode to Joy", because its ratings were really not impressive.

But now, only one week has passed, and the data has been reversed, and the ratings have successfully taken first place!

This shows that good dramas will not be buried.

It may bloom a few days later, but it will never be dull forever!
"After watching the first few episodes, I was deeply moved. The characters are so real that one can ignore the fact that they are essentially fictional. I am just watching my life!"

"People often say that a TV series should be down-to-earth, but Ode to Joy is down-to-earth. Isn't this a true reflection of life?"

"I like Qu Xiaoxiao, hehe, she dares to love and hate, so great!"

"Why is Qiu Yingying so stupid? Yang Zi, you were obviously very smart when you played Xia Xue?"

"I declare Ode to Joy the best Chinese TV series of the year! Love it so much!"

"Didn't many experts analyze this drama before and say that it was doomed to fail? Where did they go? Why don't they speak out now? Why are you deleting the article? Come on, continue to argue with us!"

After taking a quick look at the comments from netizens, Chen Fei moved his eyes away from "Ode to Joy" with great satisfaction, and then set his sights on the second, fourth and fifth places on Weibo's hot search list.

"The Republic of China fantasy martial arts epic "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" directed by Chen Kaige has been released for 5 days and the total box office has closed at 2.61 million yuan. The daily increase has plummeted by more than 3000 million, and has fallen back to 2539 million."

"The movie "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" has already dropped below 6 points on platforms such as Maoyan and Douban, and there are countless negative reviews on the entire internet!"

"Sicario has grossed over 4 million yuan in just four days since its release, surpassing The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain for the first time and successfully leading the July summer season!"

Looking at the news, Fade Chen couldn't help but smile.

The plan worked!
