After being defeated by Qingmei, I became a top player

Li Zhao is a director who is somewhere between famous and unknown. If you say he is famous, most people have never heard of his name. If you say he is unknown, when talking about the movies he made, there will always be people who suddenly realize and say, "Hey, I've seen them. They were made by Li Zhao!"

This is the fate of most directors. Unless they become extremely popular, even if they make a critically and commercially successful movie, the audience will recognize the leading actor rather than the director.

In order to get rid of the reputation of being a well-known yet unknown director, Li Zhao spent a year carefully polishing a love movie, preparing to make all audiences know him in one fell swoop.

Originally, Li Zhao had set the time as the Spring Festival period, as he believed that romance movies would definitely be a hit during this period.

As for the quality, he feels that it will not be worse than existing love movies. Whether it can become a classic depends on the current audience's view of love and their acceptance of the movie.

But even if it cannot reach the level of a classic, Li Zhao feels that with Daxia now merging into eight states, it would be easy to make a box office of 1 billion.

However, what he did not expect was that Sun Wen’s film would also be released during the Spring Festival, and his film was also labeled as a romance film, which made Li Zhao conflicted for a long time.

Finally, after learning about the publicity for "A Chinese Odyssey" and the style of Sun Yat-sen's previous films, Li Zhao decided to take a gamble.

If he wins the bet, the traffic of this Spring Festival will be beyond his imagination. If he loses the bet, then let it go and he will try again in a few years.

As a result, after the first day, Li Zhao was overjoyed by the reputation of "A Chinese Odyssey".

Li Zhao doesn’t care about anything else. He only cares about the love element in “A Chinese Odyssey”!
The result is that all other elements are fine, except the love element.

What does this mean?
This means that his romance film will fill the gap in romance films during the Spring Festival and will attract huge traffic!
That night, Li Zhao received many calls from friends.

These people didn't understand Li Zhao's choice before, but now they all come to congratulate him.

Li Zhao naturally would not say anything sarcastic. Now that he is an adult, he no longer has the temper of his youth that would say, "If you don't think highly of me, I will make you regret it."

So in the end Li Zhao simply turned off his phone and sat alone on the balcony, watching the night view and sipping fine wine.

Li Zhao thought the matter was settled.

As a result, the next day, before I even woke up from my hangover, I was woken up by calls from my team one after another.

"Hey, Xiao Zhang, what's wrong?"

Li Zhao rubbed his eyebrows, closed his eyes and answered the phone.

"Director Li, you haven't gotten up yet?"

"No, I drank a little yesterday. What's the matter? Is it about the movie?"

Li Zhao asked.

"Um……"

“Haha, the attendance rate is high?”

Li Zhao had a smile on his face.

"……no."

Suddenly, the smile on Li Zhao's face began to fade.

“That’s too many comments?”

"...Neither."

Li Zhao put down his hand, opened his eyes and frowned.

"What happened?"

"It's the reputation of A Chinese Odyssey that has reversed."

call!
Li Zhao sat up from his two-meter-long bed.

"Reversed? What happened?!"

Li Zhao suddenly thought of something.

"The Heaven Realm has started its public relations campaign?"

"Maybe. Anyway, the hot searches right now are all about topics related to A Chinese Odyssey, and those topics are all related to a few posts that appeared on the Wan Gu Forum."

Li Zhao frowned even deeper.

Wan Gu Forum? What kind of forum is this?

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhao went to the computer desk, opened the computer and took a look at the hot searches first.

【Do not disappoint the Tathagata, do not disappoint you】

【Have you put on the golden hoop? 】

What does the last sentence in "A Chinese Odyssey" mean?

[Analysis of "A Chinese Odyssey"]

【Has your hero appeared? 】

Looking at these hot topics, Li Zhao's cheeks twitched.

Then he clicked on the first topic.

At this time, new comments were still appearing under the topic, but several popular comments made Li Zhao's face freeze.

"After reading Tom Cruise's analysis, I started to cry while laughing. If Zhizunbao wants to save Zixia, he has to defeat the Bull Demon King. To defeat the Bull Demon King, he has to become Sun Wukong. To become Sun Wukong, he has to forget all his emotions. Is it because of love that you don't love?"

"Bai Jingjing, Niu Xiangxiang, and Princess Tieshan all like the Monkey King. Only Zixia likes Zhizunbao."

"We were all carefree bandit Supreme Treasures once, but as we grew older, we had to put on the golden hoop and become Sun Wukong, shouldering our own responsibilities and giving up our own joy."

"Zixia said she guessed the beginning but not the ending. But actually, she was already very satisfied with the beginning."

Looking at these comments, Li Zhao recalled the movie "A Chinese Odyssey" he watched yesterday and was suddenly stunned.

Then he hurriedly clicked on a post related to this topic, which was the post in the so-called Eternal Forum.

When he saw the post titled "Do not let down the Buddha, do not let you down", he was stunned even without reading the content.

"I will not let down Tathagata, nor will I let you down... So this is Sun Wukong's love?"

Li Zhao was silent for a long time before he clicked on the post and read the content.

After reading the content, Li Zhao took another look at Tom Cruise’s historical posts.

After a long moment, he sighed again.

"Having fans like this is worth millions of publicity."

Then Li Zhao returned to the hot searches and looked at other topics.

As a result, when he saw [What does the last sentence in "A Chinese Odyssey" mean? ], he found that the post linked to the topic was still the Wan Gu Forum, but it was no longer Tom Cruise.

The name of that post was "I'm like a dog."

After reading the whole article, Li Zhao was also very moved by this post.

Then Li Zhao typed a paragraph under the post.

"People who are like dogs have no desires or thoughts. The Supreme Treasure who walks diligently on the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures is like you and me. He hides his edge and is no longer willful. He just works hard for life. He will resolutely wear the golden hoop only when he has someone he wants to protect."

When I was about to send it, I found that I didn't have an account.

After thinking about it, Li Zhao registered one for himself.

This Wan Gu forum is of very high quality!
At this time, there were many people who had the same idea as Li Zhao.

Many screenwriters and directors in the industry have paid attention to the Wan Gu Forum because of the hot searches. Many netizens have also become aware of the Wan Gu Forum, and after reading the content of the posts, they have taken the time to register an account and leave messages under those posts.

In just one day, the film and television section of the Wan Gu Forum surpassed the novel section in popularity.

Tang Yingcheng is reading these comments at this moment.

"So this is the real way to open "A Chinese Odyssey"? I was wrong, I wrongly blamed Brother Shu!"

"It's so sad. Zhizunbao traveled through time for five hundred years and changed everything. Everything is fine. The master stopped nagging, the brothers are in harmony, and the second in command became the top scholar. The only thing that didn't get better is that dog!"

"Seeing that Zhizunbao possessed the Sunset Swordsman and kissed the female swordsman, I felt satisfied, distressed, and sad. Zhizunbao, it was too hard!"

“I originally thought it was a comedy, but after reading the analysis, I realized it was a romance. After taking a nap, I realized it was also a documentary, a realistic film, and an educational film!

It records the life of most ordinary people, their love and life. It teaches us not to let go of true love when we meet it, otherwise what we lose will never come back. It teaches us to work hard for our own happiness, and to give up will only make everything worse.

"Shu Ge's films are getting harder and harder to understand. Will there be even harder films released in the future? No, I don't want so many metaphors. I want pure happiness. I'm going to Shu Ge @Shu Ge! Post to 10,000 people!"

"Hehe, after watching the movie, I confessed my feelings to my crush. I didn't expect him to be so sincere. Praise to Brother Shu! Praise to Zhizunbao!"

"Damn it upstairs! But I'm so envious."

After closing the Wan Gu Forum, Tang Yingcheng thought about it, took a screenshot of the comment that wanted to @Chen Shuren, and sent it to Chen Shuren.

"Can you make one?"

"you want to see?"

Tang Yingcheng was stunned. This sentence gave him an illusion that if he watched, Chen Shuren would take a picture!
"Well, I don't understand love, so I'd better be happy."

"Oh."

"Oh what do you mean?"

"Oh~only~you~"

"..."

Tang Yingcheng was certain that the illusion just now was indeed an illusion.

However, this "Oh~only~you~" is indeed a bit magical. When I see this line that sounds like a lyric in this movie in a few days, I will be so happy.

Thinking of Yizhou, Tang Yingcheng took out his notes.

"Yizhou and other four states are going to merge, so the popularity of Chen Shuren will probably surge again. We need to plan the follow-up matters carefully and receive the traffic that should be received."

Thinking of this, Tang Yingcheng started his work on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

From the third to the seventh day of the Chinese New Year, "A Chinese Odyssey" became an unavoidable topic when friends went out to eat or on dates.

After watching "A Chinese Odyssey", many people called the girls they had missed, hoping to win them back.

But 99% of people fail, just as shown in "A Chinese Odyssey".

Even if you become a hero, even if you have luxury cars and mansions, what you missed is missed.

But the lucky few who find the person they missed find that they don't get along well with each other.

Because not only boys have changed, girls have changed too.

So after meeting and reconciling, the two separated with relief.

Only that one in a million person can truly make up for his or her regrets.

Such a probability is outrageous.

"A Chinese Odyssey" was broadcast until the Lantern Festival.

As in previous years, the matter of Hezhou was announced on the Lantern Festival. After this Hezhou, it meant that all the states of Daxia, except Zhongzhou, had been connected.

90% of the people in Daxia can use the same network to watch the same news, watch the same movies, listen to the same songs, and play the same games.

Among them, in the states where Chen Shuren had visited, a group of people were dumbfounded when they found out that the person and the movie mentioned in the hot search were related to Chen Shuren.

……

Foreign state.

At the barbecue stalls on the street, there were people who brought their families out for barbecue on the night of the Lantern Festival to celebrate Hezhou. When they witnessed the interconnection of the Daxia network for the first time, they saw a familiar name.

After they searched the name and saw the photo of the person corresponding to that name, they turned their heads to look at the giant poster that had been made for the passerby barbecue stall.

It was a poster of a young man singing on a crude stage next to a passerby barbecue stall.

The young man won the love of people from other states by singing many songs in different languages.

But at this moment, looking at the young man's face, listening to the song played by the boss, and looking at the series of achievements of this young man under the searched term, bursts of exclamations broke out among the passers-by at the barbecue stall.

The next day, when Yizhou launched "A Chinese Odyssey", a new topic appeared on the hot searches that evening.

【The light of foreign land, Chen Shuren! 】

Many netizens who didn't know what was going on clicked in and expressed their "praise" after seeing it.

"Fuck! Brother Shu has written so many songs in Yizhou?"

"Okay, no wonder there are no new songs. It turns out that the new songs are placed in other states, right!"

"After the merger, Shuge's songs were also merged. It's the first time I've heard such an exciting song in a foreign language."

"If I were from another country, I would worship Brother Shu! He not only wrote songs in foreign languages ​​for other countries, but also mixed foreign languages ​​into "A Chinese Odyssey"! After watching "A Chinese Odyssey" with me, my foreign friend kept saying "only~you~" all day long, so I learned it from him."

"Brother Shu is truly invincible! There is nothing he can't do!"

"This is so funny. Go check it out. There are already people from other states researching Shu Ge's origins. I want to know if Shu Ge was adopted from another state. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to write such a beautiful song in a foreign language!"

"The friends from other states still think too simply. It's time to let them listen to the songs that Brother Shu sang before. Compared to those foreign language songs, songs in Daxia are Brother Shu's forte."

Just after people from other states pushed Chen Shuren to the top of the hot searches, two old men, Li Shuheng and Zhang Zhongyi, who were far away in Yuzhou, also learned about how powerful Chen Shuren was.

Then the two stopped playing chess the next day. Whenever they caught someone, they would point their cell phones at Chen Shuren and say, "That's the guy. I taught him how to play Go!"

Of course, the two old men did want to show off, but they were showing off to the wrong people.

The other uncles in the park didn’t care who Chen Shuren was or how good he was. They only cared whether they won the game.

Compared with the two old men, Li Xiaohan received a call from Zong Lu that night. Listening to Zong Lu's inexplicably excited voice on the phone, Li Xiaohan was in a very stable mood.

Because as early as after knowing that Chen Shuren was artificially retarded, Li Xiaohan went to check Chen Shuren.

After checking the results, she became indifferent to the fact that Chen Shuren could beat the artificial intelligence chess master.

After all, Chen Shuren has achieved so many incredible achievements, so what is a small artificial intelligence chess master?

But this indifference disappeared the next day when Li Xiaohan accompanied Zong Lu and others to the cinema and watched "A Chinese Odyssey".

Watching the scene of Chen Shuren hugging and kissing Qin Baobao, Li Xiaohan suddenly had a deeper understanding of the movie "A Chinese Odyssey".

"Some things, if you miss them, you miss them forever."

This is Li Xiaohan’s most profound impression after watching the movie.
