Don't call me Master, call me Director

"It's not a dark horse. My brother won the box office championship, which is what the title should be about!"

On the dining table of Matou's house, Sakura patted the newspaper and complained a little dissatisfied.

"But the Master is still a light (new) person, right?" Arturia who was eating a large plate of puff pastry responded vaguely, "It's not normal for a light (new) person to have this score for a (dark) horse ?"

"You can talk after eating."

Sakura shook her head helplessly, then raised her eyes to look at her brother.

"Brother, what do you think?"

Shen Er, who was flipping through other newspapers, replied without looking up: "It doesn't matter if it's dark or not, as long as you speak well of me. Hurry up and read other newspapers."

Because of the highly developed entertainment industry, there are a large number of entertainment newspapers in Japan, which adds a lot of trouble to Shinji who wants to find specific articles.

For this reason, Shen Er had to mobilize the family members to search together, and even the heroic spirits in the family were pulled into the young.

Except for Artoria, who is sweet, and Uncle B, who can't read the newspaper, several other heroic spirits were mobilized by Shen Er.

In the end, Yan Qing was the first to find the information Shen Er wanted from the vast sea of ​​newspapers.

"Master, is this the kind of bad review you're looking for?"

Brother Yi handed a newspaper to Shen Er.

I saw the headline written on the column: "Bone Essence Teases Sima Yi, Wu Dalang takes over Lin Daiyu!" !It's a pity for Japanese movies to have this kind of movie! ! "

"Hmph, I finally couldn't bear it anymore."

Seeing this slightly horrifying title, Shinji raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Sure enough, in the face of FSN's rising box office, those film critics really couldn't sit still.

"Since this is the case, let the storm come more violently!"

Shen Erye showed a standard plan-through .JPG expression.

"Notify Ms. Udagawa, let's start the scolding battle."

Chapter 31 Shen Er: I just like to see other people look helpless and furious

Although he said he was going to have a scolding battle with film critics, Er Ye never planned to directly fight the other party with real swords and guns.

Not to mention whether it is polite to verbally express physical condolences directly to the female relatives of the family, Shen Er does not want to be regarded as an arrogant and domineering junior by the people in the circle at a young age.

And Shen Er is very aware of the weaknesses of those high-ranking film critics, they are not afraid of confronting others on words, what they are most afraid of is that their words will be ignored.

The best way to hit these film critics is not to point out what the other party said is wrong, but to ignore their remarks and directly praise the movies they don't like.

Therefore, on the night when the article was published, TV Asahi's evening news broadcast an interview carefully arranged by Bandai.

The TV station used the method of live connection with the theater, deliberately photographed a large number of ordinary movie fans pouring out of the theater, and interviewed them.

In front of the reporter's camera, these movie-watching audiences made no secret of their love for FSN.

"FSN is great! Saber's story made me cry!"

"I have never seen such a wonderful fight, the crew is really great!"

"This movie is better than all the movies I've seen in my life put together!!"

"I like Saber, a teenage King Arthur is really great!"

......

Seeing the TV station coming to interview, these young viewers excitedly squeezed in front of the camera, sharing their movie-watching experience by yelling at the camera.

"Well, it looks like the show is working well."

Second Lord Shen, who was watching the news, nodded very satisfied.

"Master, are you looking for extras? Isn't that movie theater the one in Fuyuki City?"

Cu Chulainn asked in a low voice.

Because they have been helping Shen Er recently, the Heroic Spirits also know a lot of publicity methods because of their relationship with publicity.

"Master, it's wrong to lie to people."

Arturia reminded honestly.

"Humph."

Medusa didn't speak but just pushed her glasses coldly, looking at Shen Er with only contempt in her eyes.

"It's not a lie, it's just a propaganda gimmick!" Feeling the stinging eyes from his followers, Shen Er argued, "And how could the interview be rehearsed in advance?"

Using hint magic to make these people say what they want, it is impossible for Second Master Shen to say such words.

Yan Qing, who was leaning against the wall drinking tea, said something fair: "As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of deceit. After all, this time the war was first provoked by some organization of film critics. It is reasonable for us to fight back."

"That's right, that's right! Master, I think the best counterattack is to make a movie that makes them speechless! The next movie will let me, the best actor of Heroic Spirit, be the protagonist to make those people shut up." Mouth!"

Cu Chulainn confidently pointed himself with a thumb, and showed his shining white teeth.

"just you?"

"Forget it, forget it."

"Lancer, did you read that comic too?"

"You can only act as a comedian at most,"

"Miscellaneous cultivator, I admire your courage very much."

"Lancer, are you talking nonsense after eating too much dog food?"

Everyone present expressed their dislike for Cu Chulainn's self-recommendation.

"Hey??!! Why!!"

Cu Chulainn was very hurt by the crowd's reaction.

"So you haven't reached home yet."

Shen Er complained about the big dog, but he was thinking about the next situation in his heart.

[Those film critics should be able to understand my gauntlet, right?They should take action. 】

Sure enough, on the second day after the news was broadcast, the film critic who wrote the comment "Wu Dalang took over Lin Daiyu" for FSN published an article criticizing FSN in the newspaper again.

Bandai did not admit defeat. They also bought newspaper pages to promote FSN with various soft articles. In the articles, there were often interviews with ordinary audiences praising FSN. At the same time, they also reported FSN’s rising box office every day very thoughtfully.

Moreover, under Erye Kuide's command, these contents were all placed on the same page as the article criticizing FSN, forming a stark contrast.

Sure enough, those film critics were blown away when they saw it.

Our film critics have said that this movie is rubbish, why are there so many people watching it! !This audience can't do it! !It must be corrected immediately! !

As a result, various articles criticizing FSN quickly filled the entertainment pages of major newspapers, and the content of the articles was almost the same, telling how bad FSN was.

"The FSN movie is a terrible disaster, and the director named Shinji Matou is a sadist!"

This was the first sentence Sakura saw when she opened the newspaper.

The film critic named Hanoi Yiping deliberately wrote an article criticizing FSN in his film review column.

"As early as a few weeks ago, I watched FSN. With all due respect, the excessively loud noise and chaotic plot of this movie are at the level of abuse, completely exceeding the bottom line of human beings!!"

"As I said in the title, this movie is a mess of oden!! Not to mention that King Arthur can't be a girl, just a few characters with very different historical stages mixed in one movie Here, that's enough to make people feel confused and disgusted!!

"There is no logic at all, not to mention numerous loopholes, but it's also a mystery. I hate this movie very, very, very, very much!!"

In the long film review, Hanoi Yiping not only belittled FSN to the extreme, but also gave an ultra-low score of 1 point.

Then Sakura picked up several other newspapers that Shinji left alone, all of which were negative reviews about FSN without exception.

"This incompetent movie can destroy all the good impressions you have of watching a movie. It has no soul and emotion. After watching a movie, you will only feel that you have wasted more than two hours of time."

Another film critic published in "Zhi Bao" also mocked FSN to the utmost, and gave it a pitiful score of 2 points.

The "Yomiuri Shimbun" is a little better, but under my 10-point scoring environment, this score of 3.5 points is still unqualified.

"The adaptation is not random! This movie is not only boring but also full of bad tastes. The entire crew should apologize to the entire British people!"

Well, this smells old six school.

Sakura looked at the other newspapers, and found that without exception, they were criticisms of FSN by film critics. Words such as "noise", "stupid", "chaotic"... and so on almost occupied the pages of the newspapers.

"It can be seen that those guys hate your brother's movies."

Sakura looked at her brother, only to find that he was smiling.

"Brother, aren't you really a sadist?" Sakura said slightly disgusted, "Would you be happy to be scolded like that?"

"Of course not. I'm just kidding that these movie critics have no brains."

Shen Er waggled his fingers, his complacent look seemed to be Zhuge's strategist who had no plans to spare.

"If they really don't like the movie, they should keep silent instead of yelling and shouting."

Sakura tilted her head in confusion: "But, the movies that they have scolded like this before are basically thrown away."

Shen Er sneered twice as an answer.

"Because those films are so-called art films, which are completely different from commercial films. Without good reviews from film critics, audiences will never go to see those films that are in the air."

Although FSN is facing a dilemma in the professional word-of-mouth field, Shen Erye is not worried at all.

Movies with a very low professional reputation like FSN but a super high box office did not have too many movies in Erye's previous life.

The most classic example is "Star Wars", which has almost become a kind of religious culture in Europe and the United States. This movie, which was not viewed well before its release, made the critics' faces swollen.

After 2010, when the Internet was extremely developed and extreme, film critics had to say good things about commercial films they didn't like in order to make a living.

Otherwise, cyber trolls alone could drown them.

In this time and space, the Internet is not particularly developed, and the influence of film critics is much greater than before Shen Er traveled.

But the second master, who knew that these guys were just paper tigers, didn't care at all.

"Sakura, you have to know that criticism from film critics is not necessarily a bad thing, on the contrary, it is something we can use to hype. It is always better to have arguments than no one cares about."

Shinji stroked Sakura's hair, teaching his younger sister earnestly.

"The majority of FSN's moviegoers are teenagers, an age where people are very rebellious, don't believe in any authority, and even question authority's views... Whoops."

Shinji, who was bitten, withdrew his hand.

Sakura smiled "kindly" and said, "My dear brother~~ Are you saying I'm rebellious?"

[Aren't you called rebellious?There are tooth marks. 】

But even the daring Shen Erye was unwilling to provoke Sakura, it was as dangerous as stealing all the food from Arturia when she was eating.

So Second Master Shen decisively explained: "Ahem, the authority I'm talking about refers to those bastards of film critics."

"These people probably don't realize that the more they scold, the more our audience will be more interested in the movie, especially when the box office of the movie is rising."

While speaking, Shen Er also glanced at the newspapers on the table. Those articles all mentioned the dissatisfaction of those viewers who praised FSN.

Although there was no direct insult, there was a sense that these people had bad taste between the lines.

"Well, those old guys don't care about young people at all."

The corner of Shen Erye's mouth rose slightly.

What young people hate most is that old guys who have a generation gap with them dictate their tastes.

If the elders in the family, they might be able to endure a little bit, but why should these outsiders who have nothing to do with them interfere with themselves? !

Thanks to the paper-oriented environment in the Japanese media industry, these articles will be seen by many young people.

Shen Erye can even imagine the retaliatory viewing of some young audiences just to fight against authority (film critics).

"Notify Bandai, let them increase the promotion of the movie, don't stop."

Thinking of FSN's ever-increasing box office, Second Master Shen felt elated.

"Think about it, this group of people jumping in a hurry, but still can't stop the incompetent fury of FSN's box office... tsk tsk."

"You are really despicable, Matou Shinji."

Red A, who was watching the play, complained coldly.

"Thank you for the compliment, Heroic Guard...sir."
