Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 232 The first generation of traffic has already lost weight Pan Yueming

The follow-up box office results of "So Young" are out.

Forty-seven million the next day.

Forty-six million on the third day.

The rumor that it was "inconsistent with the original novel" had already spread completely. In addition, since Han Geng's role as Lin Jing had too few scenes, his fans spontaneously began to boycott the movie, which in turn confirmed the fact that "the plot had been changed too much."

When the two pieces of news came together, the resulting commotion was eye-catching.

On the fourth day.

The single-day box office of "So Young" fell below the 40 million mark.

Only more than 38 million.

Although Zhao Yanzi's team used various methods to eliminate the influence of the "original party", they still failed to curb the downward trend of the movie box office.

The whole team fell into an atmosphere of loss.

During the roadshow, it was visibly apparent that everyone on the team was in a much lower mood.

Only one person was not sad but happy.

Han Geng.

The turmoil in the past few days has proved one thing from the side to some extent:

His fans are really strong.

After learning that Han Geng himself had too little screen time, his fans not only spontaneously formed a campaign online to give low ratings to the box office of "So Young", but some even directly reported to the authorities that the movie spread a bad atmosphere.

The reputation of the movie has continued to decline at this pace, and there is no sign of recovery.

The spontaneous behavior of Han Geng’s fans is called "locust-style star chasing."

There are many celebrities in the entertainment industry and many of them have fanatical fans.

A typical example is Andy Lau.

The fans are very fanatical, and some of them are so extreme that they can even force their family members to jump into the sea.

But the enthusiasm of Andy Lau's fans is accumulated over decades of his popularity.

But what about Han Geng?

He only debuted in 05, in Korea.

It was not until 09 that I returned to China.

In the small world of domestic entertainment, it can be said that he has neither any special achievements nor any particularly good background.

It was even banned by Mango TV.

But even with this relatively ordinary configuration, the noise created by its fans still overshadows that of most celebrities in the entertainment industry.

Fanatical and highly organized.

Every time they are deployed, they are always in large-scale clusters, and their actions are orderly, with precise division of labor and cooperation like a machine.

This style of fan group is really rare in the domestic entertainment industry.

After this incident, the domestic entertainment industry, which had not been officially developed by the Korean Wave before, finally witnessed the fighting power of the Korean Wave-style fanatics for the first time.

Some company CEOs got together to exchange their views on this group.

The result is that this group of fans can be considered a double-edged sword.

If used well, it can bring great benefits to the company's projects.

If it is not used properly, the project revenue is still huge, but it is negative.

After discussion, many bosses suddenly recalled the Korean Wave banquet organized by Huayi last year.

Let’s not talk about the big and small kings.

In terms of vision, the reaction is still quite advanced.

It’s a pity that his character is so bad.

the end of April.

At a meeting of Huayi, Xiao Wang was asked by reporters whether Huayi would consider continuing to cooperate with Zhou Xingxing in the future.

Xiao Wang made that classic statement.

"Of course we're considering it. Huayi had a very pleasant collaboration with Director Zhou before, and the success of Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons is obvious to all. If possible, Huayi will definitely not miss the opportunity to collaborate with Director Zhou. In fact, our company has already sent an invitation to Director Zhou Xingxing."

Although the reporter was very professional, he almost couldn't hold back after hearing Xiao Wang's response.
Despite the strange feeling in his heart, he asked, "But after your previous experience in court, will there still be a chance for cooperation?"

"of course."

Xiao Wang smiled and said: "The most important thing in business is profit, not face. It is too naive to give up the opportunity to make profit just for the sake of face.

In fact, I think that this lawsuit with Director Zhou will not affect our relationship. On the contrary, it is precisely because of this discussion that Director Zhou must have gained enough experience in running a company. "

These words almost knocked everyone present to the ground.

I've seen shameless people.

I've also seen people who are so shameless.

But this is the first time I have seen a CEO of a large company be so shameless.

It feels numb.

You cheated someone and now you want them to thank you, right?
Are you two brothers too domineering?

Just one day.

Zhou Xingxing responded to this matter again.

"I am still thinking about the new work. Thank you for your concern. I have indeed gained a lot of experience this time. I will seriously consider the partnership in the future."

Rare.

Rare indeed.

Even Zhou Xingxing started to act sarcastic, and it seemed that he was really irritated by Xiao Wang.

……

Early in the morning.

Zhou Mo came to the crew of "Huashan".

At the entrance of the studio, Lu Yang and a group of main creators came to greet them.

Zhou Mo saw Liu Shishi from afar and nodded slightly.

Liu Shishi also nodded.

There are important matters to deal with right now, but there are still long nights to communicate about feelings.

Not in a hurry.

After greeting everyone and collecting a bunch of contact information, Zhou Mo came to the office under the leadership of Lu Yang.

Also accompanying them was the male lead of "Huashan".

Pan Yueming. As soon as he sat down, Lu Yang started to complain: "Director Zhou, you are so disloyal. You helped so much with Mr. Xue's film promotion, but you just ignored us. Didn't you agree not to be partial?"

Zhou Mo sneered.

"How dare you say that? Teacher Xue started filming at about the same time as you, but now Teacher Xue's movie is about to be released, and your movie hasn't been finished yet. How dare you say that I'm partial to one over the other?"

Lu Yang coughed lightly: "Teacher Xue made a romance film, and I made a martial arts film, how can they be the same? Martial arts films are inherently slower to shoot."

Zhou Mo: "Don't forget that Seattle was filmed overseas, and you stayed in China the whole time. I also told the crew of Smiling Proud Wanderer to cooperate with you throughout the whole process. Whether it's equipment or props, you will have priority to use them all. Now you tell me that you're slow in filming?"

Lu Yang: ...

Suddenly I remembered that the person in front of me is also a director.

And he has made all kinds of movies.

So ordinary rhetoric won’t work at all.

Lu Yang originally wanted to take the opportunity to ask Zhou Mo for a favor today and do some reverse PUA. After all, it would be a shame to waste such a useful boss.

I didn't expect that I didn't even mention Zhou Mo, but he caught me with his hair.

So, Lu Yang started to panic.

My mind raced as I started to find excuses for myself.

Inadvertently seeing Pan Yueming, who looked a little gloomy, his eyes lit up.

Sorry, bro.

Lend it to your wife!
By the way, I'll help you again.

Lu Yang slapped his thigh and said in a very unhappy tone: "Director Zhou, it's not that I don't want to shoot faster, but the reality doesn't allow me to shoot faster...

I guess you've heard about what happened to Lao Pan a while ago. His wife...tsk, she would make some news every few days, and then the crew would have the media or other messy people come to affect the filming, so this matter was delayed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pan Yueming's already sad face became even more miserable, and just seeing it made people want to cry.

He stood up and bowed to Zhou Mo.

With determination on his face,

"I'm sorry, Director Zhou. I didn't expect something like this to happen. It has caused great inconvenience to the company's filming and may even affect the release of the film in the future. All responsibility lies with me. If there is indeed a problem with Huashan in the future, I... I am willing to fully compensate for all losses of the project."

Zhou Mo glanced at Pan Yueming.

I thought to myself that he is indeed one of the legendary honest men in the entertainment industry.

Shaking his head, he said, "Old Pan, let's not talk about the compensation for now. I have also heard about your affairs with Dong. Now I have only one question: is the news from Dong true? Do you really have those messed-up affairs?"

Pan Yueming made a prompt decision and shook his head.

"Director Zhou, don't worry, there is absolutely no such thing. The negative news about me on the Internet now is actually her slandering me."

Lu Yang also chimed in: "Director Zhou, I can testify that Dong's news is too fake. Many of the revelations don't match up with Lao Pan's. When she said Lao Pan cheated, we were still playing games together."

Pan Yueming gave Lu Yang a grateful look.

Lu Yang waved his hand, indicating that he absolutely supports you.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Zhou Mo stopped keeping the topic in suspense.

"In fact, I did investigate some things before I came here... Don't mind me, Old Pan. Such a big thing happened on the set, I definitely need to understand the situation."

Pan Yueming's heart trembled and he shook his head repeatedly.

"I understand Director Zhou. This is what I should do."

Zhou Mo nodded and continued, "From what I found out, the situation on Dong's side is indeed very serious. As for the negative information about you on the Internet, most of it is just bought water army."

Pan Yueming smiled bitterly: "I explained it, but no one on the Internet believed it."

"It's normal. The entertainment industry and even all fields are like this. You don't have to feel too bad. Ling Xiaosu was even worse off than you back then, but he's gotten over it now."

Pan Yueming: "I am now afraid that the movie will not be released because of me. Director Zhou, I am sorry for your original expectations."

No.

It is because of what happened to you that I have lived up to my expectations.

Otherwise I wouldn't have chosen you.

Zhou Mo waved his hand: "Don't worry about this. Facts speak louder than words. As long as we have the upper hand in the facts, I can eventually win back public opinion. This matter can even become the biggest publicity hotspot for our movie. However, this may require using your ex-wife as a sacrifice. Do you have any objection?"

"Director Zhou, what are you going to do to bring back public opinion?" Lu Yang was a little curious.

In fact, ever since Pan Yueming’s scandal became a big deal, he has lost hope for the movie’s box office.

A smooth release is a success.

As for turning things around, I never thought about it.

It's too difficult.

Who is Miss Dong? She is Leng Qingqiu, the white moonlight of a generation, and her popularity among the people is ridiculously high.

In comparison, although Pan Yueming is also quite popular among the people, she is still far behind Miss Dong.

Plus the current market environment.

Whenever there is news of a divorce in the entertainment industry, the audience will generally support the woman without a second thought.

Pan Yueming was ganked by Miss Dong, and he really couldn't think of any way to turn the situation around.

Zhou Mo didn't explain much.

"You will know this later."

Reversing public opinion is a little difficult for Zhou Mo, but it is not to the point of being difficult.

In previous lives, one of the main reasons why Ling Xiaosu, Pan Yueming, or Zhu Jun could not refute after being slandered was that the women basically had platform support, while Nan Fang did not.

So even if I get scolded, I can't find a chance to fight back.

But this time, he is in control of the platform.

Pan Yueming thought for a moment and said hesitantly.

"I have no objection to using her as a sacrifice, but Director Zhou, can you please show mercy to the child? The child is innocent..."

"Don't worry, I'm not that shameless."

"Then I'll be fine."

"Very good, you just work well here for the next period of time. Don't worry about the reporters from the crew. I will draw their attention elsewhere." Zhou Mo made the arrangements.

Wait for Pan Yueming to leave.

"Hey, you don't know how good Old Pan is during this period. He has lost a lot of weight during this period, and he almost lost all his appearance."

This is true.

Zhou Mo's impression of Pan Yueming still remains at "Pan Manyueming".

When I saw her today, she was no longer “Pan Manyueming”, but “Pan Yueyaming”.
