On the short video platform, the topic of street interviews mentioned the Spring Festival movies:

"Which movie do you want to watch the most?"

"The Wreath."

"Of course it's Su Zhe."

"When I go to the cinema, I will only watch Su Zhe."

In the surveys on major forums, The Wreath undoubtedly occupies the throne of [the most watched movie during the Spring Festival].

Even though the publicity cost of The Wreath is not high, and it can even be regarded as the bottom in the same period, other movies cannot attract the audience's attention no matter how much money they spend.

In this situation, Zhai Xiaowen is the most anxious.

The war masterpiece he has been preparing for two years, The Battle of the King Kong River, which is also a main theme movie, has long been scheduled for this Spring Festival.

Relying on his appeal as a famous director, no matter how strong Su Zhe's appeal is, there are still some media and audiences who pay attention to him and leave him some space.

But the problem is that the themes of the two movies are too similar, and they will naturally compete for traffic and audiences.

The popularity of The Wreath means that the future of The Battle of the King Kong River is bleak.

This made the producer anxious. As a war film, "Battle of the Golden River" has a very high investment. If it fails, all the money will be lost.

He couldn't help but suggest:

"Why don't we withdraw the film? I heard that some movies have already announced their withdrawal."

Zhai Xiaowen got anxious when he heard this. As a veteran director, he announced the Spring Festival schedule early, but was forced to change the schedule by a junior. Where would his face be?

"No! We set the schedule first, and "Wreath" will be scheduled later. Why should we give up the schedule?"

The producer was very helpless:

"My great director Zhai, he has many fans and high traffic. He is now the number one star in China!"

"Is there any justice?" Zhai Xiaowen was furious, "Movies are art, how can they be tainted by these traffic and fans!"

The leading actors of "Battle of the Golden River" also participated in the discussion in the conference room.

They were very calm about losing to Su Zhe - it was not shameful.

Instead, they were more afraid that the film would be affected by "The Wreath" and that it would flop and affect their careers, so they all advised Zhai Xiaowen:

"Don't be angry, Director Zhai. Who made Su Zhe have so many fans?"

"Yes, in the era of traffic, there is nothing we can do. If it should be withdrawn, it should be withdrawn."

Among them, Cheng Yongjun, who played the third male lead, almost became the male lead in Su Zhe's sketch "Not Short of Money", but quit the role to play this movie, forcing Su Zhe to perform on the Spring Festival Gala by himself.

(It's been so long, I'm afraid you have forgotten this person)

In theory, he was most worried that "Battle of the Golden River" would flop, which would make him a complete clown and become the material for marketing accounts to mock.

But he was very calm, looking at the insects in front of him who talked about the "traffic era" and "fan economy", and sneered in his heart:

"It's as if Su Zhe succeeded because of fans and traffic."

Why do so many viewers pay attention to Su Zhe's new work? Isn't it because he made excellent movies?

What's even more terrifying is that Su Zhe is too careful about his reputation. He would never make a cameo appearance in a bad movie or cheat his fans for money or so-called favors.

Fans would never buy tickets to enter the theater and then find out that it is a bad movie, and Su Zhe only has a few clips. They can only comfort themselves with "Zhe content".

This accumulated trust is extremely terrifying, and it is often a sign of a superstar of an era.

And what about these people? It seems that Su Zhe is just good at attracting fans and creating popularity.

What makes Cheng Yongjun even more helpless is that these people in front of him are not saying these words to belittle Su Zhe.

These words are what they think; this understanding is their outlook on life.

This suddenly reminded Cheng Yongjun of the scene when he met Su Zhe when he participated in the rehearsal of "Not Short of Money".

At that time, he thought that Su Zhe, as a big star and big boss, would be very busy. Even if they met, he would only paint a rosy picture for him, tell him how much money he could make after becoming famous, and encourage him to work hard.

But Su Zhe always rehearsed until very late, and only discussed the lines of the skit with him, as if they were the purest creators.

Pure, as if there was no interference from fame and fortune when they were rehearsing.

"No."

Cheng Yongjun suddenly remembered that Su Zhe had told him about fame and fortune:

"Don't think too much, do a good job, and everything will be there."

At that time, Cheng Yongjun felt that Su Zhe was very naive. Perhaps his talent was really hard to conceal, and he had never felt that his talent was not appreciated. It was too easy to become famous, so he thought that all success was taken for granted.

It seemed that as long as he did it seriously, he could let his work speak for itself.

But Cheng Yongjun worked hard at the bottom for many years. He had seen many talented people, but he could only leave sadly.

He knew that the world was not like this, and the entertainment industry was even less like this.

Opportunity is the most important thing in this circle.

So, he betrayed Su Zhe just to seize this opportunity.

Now he regrets it, not regretting the betrayal, but regretting——

How can he make good works with this group of insects?

"Don't withdraw the film." Cheng Yongjun finally expressed his opinion, "As long as the quality is good, the Spring Festival period can accommodate two blockbusters."

No one watched him, and no one listened to his opinion.

Because he was the smallest star, had the fewest fans, and was "lucky" to be promoted by Zhai Xiaowen.

Just as his opinions were never respected during the entire filming process.

They would not discuss the lines of "Not Short of Money" with him like Su Zhe, and even argue with him until they were red in the face - it was too low in status.

For some reason, Cheng Yongjun thought of the past again.

……

Under Cheng Yongjun's silent gaze, everyone reached a consensus - no withdrawal.

Not because they finally respected Cheng Yongjun, but because the withdrawal was very harmful to the film -

Not only did all the previous publicity costs go down the drain, but it also left potential audiences with the impression that "poor quality, dare not release".

This made most of the withdrawn films unable to achieve satisfactory box office results. Thinking back, it would have been better to release them in the first place.

And "Battle of the Jinjiang River" also had some confidence - even if it couldn't beat Su Zhe and couldn't win the box office championship, the box office of the runner-up would usually not be low.

They insisted on releasing it as scheduled!

However, except for "Battle of the Jinjiang River", other films did not have this confidence.

Two films announced the withdrawal, and other films also took the initiative to cut their publicity budgets. Anyway, they couldn't compete with "Wallet", so they just saved some costs.

In fact, according to the convention of the entertainment industry, when encountering such a hot movie, if you can't criticize the movie, you can criticize the creators.

Billions of dollars of business can also be regarded as a high-end business war, enough to make people do whatever it takes.

But the problem is that Su Zhe can't be smeared!

Although Su Zhe has been recording programs abroad recently, his "Captain of China" has been very popular in Japan and South Korea, which can be regarded as a small golden body for him.

Therefore, thousands of troops avoided "Wallen", and it stood out in this Spring Festival.

It just needs to be released.
