China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 634: Beheading is no longer possible

After making these harsh remarks, Director Bi left the stage immediately and did not argue with those mediocre people.

After a while, Director Bi calmed down a little, and he was surprised to find that this scene was a bit familiar.

That year, after an expert seminar was held for his film "Chasing Dreams in Show Business", it was ready to be released.

Li Yu came out to criticize him, saying that his movie was an unprecedented and unparalleled terrible movie, and anyone who watched it would regret it.

At that time, many people scolded Li Yu.

His current situation is surprisingly similar to Li Yu's back then.

Realizing this, Director Bi was shocked.

But soon, he pouted a few times: "Pooh, pooh, pooh, the situations are just a little similar, but they are actually two different things and cannot be compared at all.

What the hell is "Fortress of Devil City"? It's terrible. His "Dream of Show Business" is not terrible, it was the result of malicious negative reviews by the Internet trolls that led to the box office failure. It is many times better than "Fortress of Devil City".

……

Director Bi's film review did not make much of a splash.

Because his reputation was ruined and "The Fortress" had not been officially released, most people could not go to the cinema to verify whether what Director Bi said was true or false.

However, when Mr. Wang and Director Teng heard what Director Bi had done, they were very unhappy.

Director Teng was very angry and called Mr. Wang to complain: "Bi is too much. He actually wore the same pants as Li Yu to discredit my "Fortress of Magic City". Isn't he from our Huayi? Mr. Wang, are you really not going to do anything about this kind of traitor?"

Director Bi’s director contract is still with Huayi and has not expired yet.

It’s just that Huayi is not lucky enough to have a director like Director Bi, who set the bar for Chinese-language films as soon as he debuted, and they dare not use him again.

Director Bi is now in a free-range state, and Huayi doesn't care about him at all.

Although Director Bi is from Huayi, Mr. Wang really doesn't dare to help Director Teng to deal with Director Bi.

"Forget it, Director Bi is just a clown, just treat him as an annoying fly.

Anyway, his reputation is so bad that his film reviews won't have much impact on you. More than 90% of the people commenting on his Weibo posts curse him.

I don't suggest you to compete with him. He is a person who is more likely to cause trouble than to help you.

Don't forget that he knows a lot of big names in the film industry. If you compete with him, he will get those people to blacken you together. Do you think you are stupid?"

Mr. Wang sighed and said helplessly.

"..."

Director Fuji's anger instantly subsided by half.

In that case, Director Bi really can't just swat that fly.

He had seen how big the expert seminars held by Director Bi were, with people from all kinds of film associations and film critics associations attending.

Those who attended the seminar were not ordinary association members, but a host of vice presidents and famous experts.

If Director Bi can get that group of people to praise "Chasing Dreams in Entertainment Circle", he can definitely get that group of people to criticize his "Magic City Fortress".

"Okay, I won't bother with him this time, but you should also remind him. We are all from the same company, so please don't destroy your own family, okay? If you want to destroy someone, go destroy Li Yu's, because he is our enemy." Director Teng's tone softened.

"I'll contact him and ask him to stop discrediting your film." Mr. Wang agreed to Director Fuji's request.

He was asked to deal with Bi Dao, but he disagreed.

There would be no problem in asking him to persuade Bi Dao to turn his guns around and face the outside world in unison.

...Da Tiantian also noticed Director Bi’s film review.

She immediately forwarded Director Bi's film review to Li Yu and said with emotion: "I thought Director Bi was a good-for-nothing, but I didn't expect Director Bi's film review to be so professional."

Da Tiantian and Li Yu went to the premiere to watch the movie together, so she knows what the movie is like.

She felt that Director Bi's film review was insightful and that she would give it 90 points out of a hundred, and even 95 points would not be excessive.

Li Yu smiled and said, "You look down on Director Bi, don't you? He was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy based on his real talent and knowledge, unlike you who got in by looking good.

He failed to get into the Beijing Film Academy on his first try, but the teachers at the school thought he was a talented person and had high hopes for him, so they let him pay to audit the school for a year.

He was successfully admitted the following year. When he was studying at Beijing Film Academy and Peking University, the school leaders admired him very much and thought he was a talented person.

In other words, he is only weak in practice, but very good in theory.”

A piece of toilet paper is useful if used in the right place.

If Director Bi had not given up on becoming a director, and instead devoted his life to studying theory, and worked part-time as a judge or writing film reviews, his future would definitely be bright.

But Director Bi is so willful and likes to challenge his weaknesses.

Da Tiantian suddenly realized and said, "So that's it."

Then, she added, "Since Director Bi has such a wealth of theoretical knowledge and can comment on other people's films, why does he insist on saying that his own film Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry is not bad?"

"I still say the same thing. Who would think their own child is ugly? No matter how bad their own child is, in their own eyes, they are not bad, but unique. There is also a classic saying to describe this situation: Those who are involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see clearly." Li Yu replied.

……

On the first day of the new month, "The Fortress of Devil City" was officially released nationwide.

On the eve of its release, there are still many media outlets raving about this movie.

"Ready Player One was a great success. Although it was a little crude, it proved the feasibility of domestic science fiction. Who has taken over the baton of domestic science fiction films now? That's right, it's this Fortress of the Underworld."

"Chinese science fiction has opened up another path. The fusion of various elements points to different possibilities. The combination of science fiction and games produced Ready Player One, which evoked the childhood memories of countless people. Another movie has taken a bold new step. This time, it is a combination of science fiction, war and love."

"From the background story and the sci-fi setting, "Magic City Fortress" has a very strong Chinese characteristic. Aliens invaded the earth, and we chose to fight back and protect the Magic City Fortress.

I have a feeling that this is another new peak of domestic science fiction. The director has combined science fiction and war films together, which is a bold attempt.”

People's appetites were whetted by media celebrities, and they believed the propaganda and went to the cinema.

Then... they found out they had been cheated.

For many viewers, it was the first time in their lives that they saw such a bad movie.

Such a bad movie actually had a box office of over 70 million on the first day.

This result fully demonstrates how successful the film's pre-promotion was.

The first-day results did not meet Director Fuji's expectations, but as long as he can maintain the momentum and continue to rise, it should become the best-performing work in his career.

However, what Director Fuji did not expect was that what he thought was good and what the audience thought was good were completely different things.

He felt that "The Fortress" was perfect in every aspect, but the audience did not buy it.

By the second day, the box office had dropped to the point where it was just halved, leaving only a little over 20 million.

Seeing this number, Director Fuji collapsed.
