Chapter 769: Label You as a Smart Person

"You are really smart, and your reputation is well-deserved!"

"Have you heard my story?"

“No, but your face is full of stories.”

"."

"Ify, this 'Great Intelligence', could it be that your Li Mu got this from here?"

Shu Chang asked in Liu Yifei's ear with a smile.

"Uh, I don't know." Liu Yifei was also very amused by the performance, but she really didn't know about this matter. She just remembered that Li Mu said that he would understand it after watching the movie, so she thought it was almost certain.

"Whether it's true or not, I feel like they can't get rid of this joke."

Shu Chang sat up straight and continued watching.

At this time, laughter and murmurs were heard in the theater, and it was obvious that everyone had thought of this.

"Isn't this the nickname Maoyan gave to Taopiaopiao?"

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Damn, I can't bear to look at this. This guy is so smart."

"Nah, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix are no longer complimenting words anymore, but I feel like Tao Piaopiao will never be able to remove the word 'very smart'."

"."

There were many people discussing in the theater, but they spoke in a very low voice, and only when they laughed did they not hide their laughter.

"The nickname that Director Li gave me this time is really going to become a meme. It will be hard for Tao Piaopiao to get rid of it now."

Tao Hong smiled and said to Xu Zheng.

"It's going to become a laughing stock. I think this movie is very popular and young people love to watch it. Tao Piaopiao is going to be badly screwed."

Xu Zheng did not feel the slightest bit of sympathy for the other party. After all, he was now on Maoyan's side, and this was a label that could not be washed away.

If Tao Piaopiao is labeled as being smart, even though it is just a joke, the negative image is still quite heavy. Relatively speaking, it is definitely not particularly beneficial.

The media were very excited at this time, their eyes were shining.

The thing I have been thinking about before finally has an answer. As for whether Tao Piaopiao and Maoyan will conflict with each other, who cares?

Anyway, it’s not the media people’s problem, and it’s easier to argue with them and get more traffic.

"Money is a bastard, we must respect dreams!"

"Do you think I'm mad?"

"."

With bursts of laughter, the premiere of "The Richest Tomato" came to an end.

While Liu Yifei was still in the car, she couldn't help but call Li Mu and said excitedly:
"Amu, you are very smart, right?"

"Who are you talking about being smart?" Li Mu complained, "I specifically gave this term to my business partner."

"Hahaha"

Shu Chang laughed heartily in the car, but there was something magical about that voice.

That night, major media outlets reported the event.

"The hilarious premiere of the summer comedy film "The Richest Tomato" produced by Mengying Media and Happy Twist ended perfectly."

"Laughing with tears! The premiere of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has a higher level of "laughter", and the "Great Conscience" seems to have a hidden meaning."

"The premiere of 'The Richest Man in Xihong City', with the hilarious appearance of 'Da Congming'!"

"."

The media also understand traffic. Just being hilarious doesn't seem to be enough to attract netizens, but adding "very smart" may not be enough. After all, netizens have not forgotten the nickname that Maoyan gave to Taopiaopiao.

"Li Mu knows how to have fun."

"This nickname is quite interesting. It's a pity that I didn't go to the premiere, otherwise I could have watched it then."

"."

People in the industry couldn't help but become interested, not to mention those outside the industry.

It was simply filled with gossip, and with people who had attended the premiere "fanning the flames", it was like tickling people, and they just wanted to find out what was going on.

Not surprisingly, pre-sales of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" are rising rapidly.

It’s just that Tao Piaopiao’s Yu Yongfu’s face didn’t look very good. Although the movie hasn’t been seen yet, judging from the news received so far, it is definitely not a good sign.

"Has anyone gone to see it?" Yu Yongfu asked from the chairman's seat.

But no one responded, which is actually normal. After all, as a user of Tao Piaopiao, who would attend the premiere of "The Richest Man in Xihong City"?

"Mr. Yu, I heard from people who went there that the 'very smart' in the movie is used to describe people who are not very smart, or even a little dumb, like fools."

After listening to this, Yu Yongfu did not show any expression. After all, he probably knew it was not a compliment.

“If this meme becomes popular, then we should think of ways to separate Tao Piaopiao from it and not let it threaten the Tao Piaopiao brand.”

"."

"I didn't expect that Lao Li would set a trap for Tao Piao Piao."

Although Ning Hao didn't go to see the movie, he heard some information about the plot from other people and couldn't help but laugh.

"Director Li is still so young, it's normal for him to have some edge. It would be surprising if he completely lost it."

Xing Aina analyzed calmly.

"That's true. When Lao Li was just starting out, he dared to go head-to-head with Feng Xiaogang. He must have a competitive spirit."

"."

On July 7, two days before the release of "The Richest Tomato", news came from the 25th Venice Film Festival.

Zhang Yimou's "Shadow" and Tsai Mingliang's "Your Face" were shortlisted for non-competitive screenings, "I Killed a Sheep" directed by Wangma Caidan and produced by Wong Kar-wai was shortlisted for Horizon, and Sylvia Chang served as a judge in Venice.

Except for the main competition unit, the rest of the Venice Biennale is full of Chinese elements.

This year's list of famous directors is also quite impressive, with works by Mike Leigh, Kusturica, the Coen brothers, Orson Welles, etc. However, at this time, the long-silent Fan Binbin finally got some news, but it was not good news.

Because the financial personnel of a listed company were involved in the emergency response of Fan Bingbing's companies.

The police have taken judicial compulsory measures against him for suspected concealment and intentional destruction of accounting documents.

This incident is even more confusing.

After all, if there really was no problem, why would there be a need for emergency response or even deliberate destruction of the credentials?

For a time, film and television stocks fell again, and the two stocks related to Fan Binbin, Huayi Brothers and Tangde Film and Television, directly hit the limit down.

Of course, Huayi still responded very positively that its own financial personnel had never participated in the investigation of the incident mentioned in the rumors, but the stock price was not in control.

On the contrary, many companies are very depressed at this time. After all, this is another day that will bring disaster to their own companies.

"Something must have happened."

"It's been almost two months. I used to think it was strange that Fan Binbin didn't come out for two days. Something must have happened."

"Catch them strictly and catch them hard. There must be many more."

"."

All netizens are very confident, except Fan Binbin's fans.

"Brother, the company you mentioned couldn't be Tangde Films, right?"

Guo Fan asked Li Mu in a low voice, although Hua Yi and Fan Binbin were closely connected, they were not as close as Tang Delai.

There are only a few listed companies, and everyone is speculating.

Li Mu patted Guo Fan on the shoulder: "Just know it yourself."

"These people really dare to do this?"

"What's there to be afraid of? When the interests involved are too great, people become famous and will do whatever it takes to keep everything they have."

"Tsk tsk tsk"

"."

There are indeed a lot of things happening in the circle, but that does not hinder the release of "The Richest Tomato".

With the arrival of the 27th, all major cinemas ushered in a day of joy.

"The box office of The Richest Tomato exceeded 2 million on the first day, and the summer comedy blockbuster is coming."

"The Richest Tomato, produced by Mengying Media and Happy Twist, earned 2.26 million yuan on its first day, and is expected to be the champion of today's summer vacation."

"."

Although all major media outlets reported on the box office, the three words "very smart" were never omitted in the main text.

At the same time, netizens were also amused.

"I see. Damn, 'smart' turns out to be such a sarcastic word."

"Don't tell me, don't tell me, this character of 'Great Connoisseur' is full of comedy atmosphere. Just thinking of Tao Piaopiao makes me want to laugh!"

"Cat's Eye is a great move. This joke is going to go away. When I think of these three words, I think of that incident a while ago."

"."

"Director Li, your nickname is really amazing. It really lets me off some steam. I think those young people who use Tao Piaopiao will probably switch to Maoyan right away."

Wang Changtian laughed.

Although they snatched a movie resource, Mengying Media had originally had a greater chance of winning. This time, putting a label on Tao Piaopiao makes them feel much more comfortable.

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile, let's just pretend we don't know about this. Be careful when attending meetings next time, I'm afraid their eyes will eat us up."

Li Mu responded with a faint smile.

"Hahaha, that's right, that's right. I can't wait for the meeting to start and see what Yu Pifu's expression looks like."

"."

I have to say that the influence of movies is still very strong, especially a movie like "The Richest Tomato", which has a lot of famous memes, each of which has a comedic effect.

The next day, the film grossed 3.2 million yuan at the box office.

This trend is truly enviable for people in the industry.

"Is it possible that Mengying Media will produce another movie that will break 30 billion this year?"

"This comedy movie is bound to make a ton of money at the box office!"

"."

But at this time on Tao Piaopiao's side, Yu Yongfu's face did not look very good.

I thought that Tao Piaopiao would have some impact, but if the influence is this kind, it would be a crisis for the brand’s image.

"This Li Mu has no moral principles"

In the high-level meeting, some people criticized.

However, Yu Yongfu just looked at it coldly and didn't say much. After all, when Tao Piaopiao issued that statement, it was also adding insult to injury and wanted the other party to die. This is also normal.

Moreover, nothing had happened to Taopiaopiao, so Yu Yongfu thought that the other party had no way to deal with it. As for the fact that they had stolen a resource, it was the other party's fault.

But I didn’t expect that a nickname and a movie reference would be used to label Tao Piaopiao, and that caused problems.

At least when others use it, they naturally think of it and feel a little disgusted. Who would want to install a very smart app on their mobile phone?

"Mr. Yu, I think we need to whitewash this term and not let the other party lead us by the nose."

"Well, then tell me how to whitewash it so that the audience will accept the new one and ignore the one in the movie."

Yu Yongfu also agreed, but the problem was stuck here. Seeing that no one paid much attention for a while, he slowly said:

"Everyone brainstorm, and even inviting a famous director is not a problem."
