After being defeated by Qingmei, I became a top player

Bang!
Feng Yue threw the ashtray he brought back from Zhongzhou against the wall. When the assistant in the room saw it, he could only tremble in fear.

That ashtray cost 8 Daxia coins. When Feng Yue was in Zhongzhou, he would only shake the ashes into it when he smoked.

If there are other guests, there is another ashtray.

But this ashtray that Feng Yue loved so much was smashed by him with his own hands. From this, we can see how angry Feng Yue was at that moment.

"Director Feng, calm down. The publicity methods used for the movie Kung Fu are too despicable. It would be a shame if you get sick because of him."

Seeing Feng Yue standing with his hands behind his back and not speaking, the assistant thought for a moment and continued:

"Director Feng, I think that's all the publicity methods that the Kung Fu crew has. How about I find a paparazzi to buy some information? Once this wave of popularity has died down, we can continue the publicity!"

Hearing this, Feng Yue turned around and looked at his assistant.

"Are you stupid, or are those netizens stupid?"

"Uh……"

The assistant was stunned, not knowing what Feng Yue meant.

But Feng Yue did not continue to answer him, but sat at his desk.

Seeing this, the assistant immediately picked up Feng Yue's empty cup and poured a cup of hot tea.

Feng Yue took the tea and his complexion returned to normal.

"Every time there is a trending search about the Kung Fu crew, there will be news reports that will suppress it, and then our publicity will appear next."

"We only did it once last time, and there were doubts. If you do it again, aren't you afraid that the Kung Fu crew will seize the opportunity and bite you back, and make it a hot topic again?"

The assistant was stunned, then hesitated and said, "Impossible? Do they have any evidence?"

"Evidence? If it were me, I wouldn't need any evidence at all. As long as there's a point of suspicion, I would stir up heated discussions among netizens."

Feng Yue sneered.

"Do you think the decision makers of the "Kung Fu" crew can think of what I can think of?"

The assistant was no longer sure, and after several publicity confrontations, he also saw how difficult the "Kung Fu" crew was.

He has been following Feng Yue for quite some time, so he knows Feng Yue's record in Zhongzhou.

There are many great directors who can make great films, but so what?

In the end, there are simply few who can defeat Feng Yue's various operational routines and win higher box office simply by relying on the quality of their movies.

Therefore, there is a saying circulating in Zhongzhou:

"You can choose not to watch Feng Yue's movies, but you can't choose not to watch Feng Yue's propaganda!"

But the assistant did not expect that Feng Yue would find it difficult to find an opponent in Zhongzhou, the top place. As a result, as soon as he left Zhongzhou, he met someone who was equally good at operation and publicity.

How could he let this go?

Seeing that his assistant was still unconvinced, Feng Yue, whose face was covered by the steam from the tea, suddenly said with admiration:

"This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that now whenever we promote "The Grandmaster", some people will think of the director in "Kung Fu"."

"That is to say, as long as we include the words 'Ancient Martial Arts Grandmaster' in our promotion, it will invisibly attract a lot of traffic to 'Kung Fu'!"

The assistant's originally unconvinced face opened wide after hearing these words.

"So, we can't promote this?"

“You can promote it, but you can’t promote it directly.”

Feng Yue took a sip of tea, leaned back in his chair and continued, "The promotion of Gao Shaojun can begin now."

When the assistant heard the three words "Gao Shaojun", his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he looked at Feng Yue with more respect.

……

"Haha, I never thought that one day I would be urged to update! But having said that, the feeling of being urged to update is really annoying!"

Sun Wen said excitedly to Chen Shuren, who was still working on the special effects, completely ignoring the dissatisfied looks of the people waiting for Chen Shuren's training.

When Chen Shuren heard what Sun Yat-sen said, he nodded with empathy.

"But you don't have many videos left, right?"

"That's all..." Sun Wen thought for a moment, "How about you make a few more for me? I'll put the video you posted later!"

Chen Shuren paused in his work and turned to look at Sun Yat-sen.

"You don't feel bad at all for me being scolded, do you?"

"Hey, just kidding, just kidding!"

Sun Wen smiled awkwardly.

"By the way, I found the person who leaked your duel video. Should I fire him or give him a bonus?"

Chen Shuren shook his head and laughed.

"Forget it, that's it."

"Okay, and by the way, I suddenly found out today that the crew of "Ancient Martial Arts Master" has started to promote their male lead, his name is Gao Shaojun, he is an actor who has just been promoted to the first-line position."

Chen Shuren nodded: "I understand. I will pay attention to it later. That's it for now. I have to be busy."

Sun Wen glanced at the resentful eyes of Liu Anyuan and others behind him and quickly stood up.

"Haha, Team Leader Liu, you guys are busy, you guys are busy."

After saying this, Sun Yat-sen left.

That afternoon, Sun Wen released the last behind-the-scenes video edited by Chen Shuren.

The answer that netizens have been waiting for for a long time, who is Mu Linsen and who is Mu Yichengzhou between Tang Yingcheng and Meng Changfeng, has finally come out.

But after they saw it, they all started cursing.

"Fuck, Brother Shu is a liar!"

"What the hell? I was asking who Mu Linsen is, but now Brother Shu is saying there is no Mu Linsen?"

"Yeah, I waited for two days, and this is the answer?"

Just when a group of netizens were getting furious and leaving crazy messages under Chen Shuren's and Sun Wen's accounts, someone suddenly took a screenshot of the message that Chen Shuren had sent earlier.

"Well, maybe Brother Shu really didn't lie to us... Look at what he said at the time, 'I want to know if Mu Linsen and Mu Yichengzhou are Tang Yingcheng and Meng Changfeng'. In this sentence, Brother Shu didn't admit that they were who we guessed!"

"Fuck, playing word games? You've kept me on suspense for two days? Fine, fine, it's up to you whether I want to watch your movie or not!"

"I don't believe it, Mu Linsen must be among the two!"

……

While netizens were arguing, at Wangu Publishing House, Chen Shuangxue was sitting in Wan Shichang's office drinking tea.

"I never thought that Mu Linsen would be your brother."

Wan Shichang looked at Chen Shuangxue with a look of regret.

He always believed that Wan Gu Publishing House could have come this far because of the coincidence that led to Chen Shuangxue signing with Mu Linsen.

But now he understood that there was no such thing as coincidence, it was just deliberate arrangement.

"Yeah, I just found out about it recently."

Chen Shuangxue smiled bitterly.

"Alright, I will block Mu Linsen's file. Since he doesn't want to show up, then let's not show up."

"Thank you, President."

Chen Shuangxue left Wan Shichang's office, returned to her own office, turned on her computer, logged into her account on Wangu Literature Network, and posted a message.

The content of the message was very simple, denying that Mu Linsen was Tang Yingcheng and Meng Changfeng.

After that, no matter how netizens asked, Wan Gu Literature Network remained silent.

Just like that, the matter between Mu Linsen and Mu Yichengzhou ended in such an anticlimactic way.

But the matter of "Kung Fu" is still going on.

After several days of promotion, "Kung Fu" and "The Grandmaster" took turns to be on the hot searches, and netizens gradually realized that these two movies might be competing at the same time.

People who were interested also started to watch the excitement. In the following days, the promotion of "Kung Fu" continued, but it was not very popular, and the popularity was maintained at a constant or even low temperature.

As for the reason, it was still because of Feng Yue’s publicity.

Gao Shaojun, as the male lead of "The Grandmaster", has been in the limelight these days.

This man, who originally weighed 170 pounds, was able to become a first-line actor because of his unique kung fu comedy performance style.

When he was originally in Yongzhou, Gao Shaojun was just a second-tier actor, but after arriving in Hezhou, Gao Shaojun suddenly ushered in his spring.

Kung Fu comedies, which are not very popular among people in Yongzhou, are quite popular in other states. Gao Shaojun took advantage of this opportunity and became a top star in just over a year.

This time, "The Grandmaster" suddenly revealed that Gao Shaojun visited a famous teacher for this movie, and not only learned real ancient martial arts, but also lost all his fat.

In some movie posters released for "The Grandmaster", Gao Shaojun's current appearance shocked many people.

According to the crew, Gao Shaojun lost 50 kilograms for this movie and now weighs only 120 kilograms!

This is of great interest to many people, especially those who have been trying to lose weight for years but whose weight is maintained only by whether they poop or not.

Many people are discussing whether ancient martial arts can really help lose weight?

The crew of "The Grandmaster" also took the opportunity to guide netizens to explore this secret in the movie.

Because the movie tells the story of Gao Shaojun's transformation from 170 pounds to 120 pounds.

Needless to say, this method is very effective!

Many people want to see how he relies on ancient martial arts to lose weight, and what kind of willpower supports him to lose so much weight in just three or four months.

For a moment, ancient martial arts and weight loss were suddenly connected together.

Many ancient martial arts schools also took the opportunity to take advantage of the popularity.

Some videos of people practicing martial arts in ancient martial arts gyms were posted.

Without exception, there is not a single fat person among those who practice ancient martial arts!
This directly made many people go crazy.

In this way, the nature of the movie "The Grandmaster" suddenly changed in the eyes of many people.

It has changed from a martial arts film to an inspirational martial arts film and a martial arts weight loss film.

In this way, when people mention "The Grandmaster" again, they will no longer associate it with the director of "Kung Fu".

……

In Jingzhou, Sun Wen, who had just seen off Liu Anyuan's team, looked at Chen Shuren and said:

"We really don't want to promote you? Look at "The Grandmaster", they even promoted a martial arts movie as a weight loss movie!"

Chen Shuren smiled and shook his head.

"It's not necessary. The publicity for Kung Fu is enough. Any more would be excessive."

But Sun Wen still feels a little unwilling when he sees the popularity of "The Grandmaster" every day.

"Shu, if you don't want to show up in public, why not promote Mo Xiaoxian? She gained weight from 100 pounds to 140 pounds for the role of the landlady. Compared to Gao Shaojun, she's about the same, right?"

"Most importantly, she is a girl!"

Chen Shuren was stunned when he heard Sun Yat-sen's words.

This is indeed a good publicity point, but Chen Shuren still shook his head.

"Your idea is correct, but I think this kind of thing should not be announced before the movie is broadcast."

"If not in advance, how can we promote it?"

Sun Yat-sen was puzzled.

Chen Shuren did not say anything about this.

"Listen to me, this kind of publicity will be better after the broadcast than before it."

Sun Yat-sen looked at Chen Shuren and finally had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, since the post-production is complete, I'll submit it for review. After it passes the review, I'll see what Yu Gang thinks."

Chen Shuren nodded.

……

In the following days, the promotion of "Kung Fu" remained the same as before, with the main theme of Buddhism.

After seeing this situation, Feng Yue finally smiled.

"Sure enough, Director Feng, the crew of Kung Fu is so incompetent. After you made this move by Gao Shaojun, they were helpless!"

Assistant Feng Yue was full of admiration.

He remembered the surprised expressions on the faces of the investors when Gao Shaojun was chosen as the protagonist.

But who could have thought that Gao Shaojun's role would be revealed here?
All I can say is that every step Feng Yue took was already planned.

Feng Yue ignored the assistant's compliment. At this moment, he looked out the window with a cold light in his eyes.

……

A week later.

"Kung Fu" has been announced to be released on May 20th.

The next day, the release date of "The Grandmaster" was announced.

It’s also May 20th.

After the two pieces of news were announced, many people in the industry who paid attention to both of them sensed that a storm was about to come.

With one week left before the premiere, the two names that frequently appeared on the trending searches were "Kung Fu" and "The Grandmaster".

Among them, Gao Shaojun's name even appears more times than the names of the two movies.

Just when many people were gradually becoming fed up with the term Gao Shaojun.

May 20th finally arrived.

……

A cinema in Yongzhou.

Chu Qiang held two invitation letters, one with "Kung Fu" and the other with "Master of Ancient Martial Arts" written on it.

Because of Chen Shuren's Dragon and Tiger Leap Fist, Chu Qiang also became very interested in the movie "Kung Fu".

So I spent a lot of time and effort to get an invitation to the premiere of "Kung Fu".

Coincidentally, his father was originally going to attend the premiere of "The Grandmaster", but due to some unexpected matters, he could not come and gave him the invitation.

By the way, Chu Qiang also plans to watch the movie "The Grandmaster".

"It's OK, there is no conflict in time."

Chu Qiang looked at the screening room with the flower basket, put away the invitation letter for "Kung Fu", and walked over.

"Hello, please show me your invitation."

Chu Qiang casually put the invitation letter of "Ancient Martial Arts Grandmaster" in the other party's hand.

After I got in, I took a quick look and saw that there were almost no young people sitting in the seats.

But there are indeed many big guys.

Although Chu Qiang doesn't care much about the film and television industry, he knows about the ancient martial arts industry!

In the first three rows, there were no less than ten famous figures in the ancient martial arts circle.

And the invitation letter from his father was in the second row.

After sitting down, the businessmen sitting on both sides of Chu Qiang saw that Chu Qiang was so young and knew that he was not the real person, so they did not communicate with him.

Chu Qiang was also happy that no one was looking for him.

After waiting for about ten minutes, after Feng Yue's brief thanks, the premiere of "The Grandmaster" began.
