Chapter 626 The Power of “Fan Circle”!

Thursday, June 27th.

After Chen Fei got up and washed up, he rushed to the company. Huo Wenxi called last night and said that he had something to report to him, but she mysteriously did not say it on the phone and insisted on telling him in person.

On the way, he turned on his computer and discovered to his surprise that Guo Jingming's "Little Times" had become the top headline on major portal websites.

Today happens to be the official release date of this movie, and judging from the photos and data published online, this movie is obviously going to be a hit!

According to media reports, in all first-tier cities, there are basically long queues for "Tiny Times" screenings.

Looking around, without exception, almost all of them are young and beautiful young girls.

Occasionally, some male compatriots show up, and almost all of them accompany their girlfriends to watch movies.

However, what made Chen Fei look a little strange was that each of these girls seemed to be possessed by a demon. In addition to buying tickets to support, they even wrote "Support Little Times" on their faces, arms and other parts. "" and other words.

"Tsk tsk? Have you done all the tricks in the rice circle?"

Chen Fei continued to scroll down and read the news.

The media gave this film a huge amount of support. In addition to extensive coverage, it seemed that they also helped it with a wave of free publicity.

According to various reports, Guo Jingming seems to have officially entered the ranks of first-line directors, and is even better and more awesome than Zhao Yanzi before him!

And this is even more true for theaters.

After seeing the box office appeal of this movie, they quickly increased the movie schedule and at the same time very strongly reduced the number of screenings of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

However, according to relevant reports, although the latter invested hundreds of millions and suffered crazy abuse and bad comments from the entire Internet, it did not suffer any loss.

When chatting with Liu Dehua that day, he specially revealed the inside story to Chen Fei.

"Residence in the Fuchun Mountains" is completely a movie embedded in a massive amount of advertising, which is purely consuming the popularity and value of several actors in exchange for profits for the producer.

When Liu Dehua mentioned this matter, he could not hide his anger, but in the end he had no choice but to do anything.

The deal is done, and everyone's remuneration has been paid, so what's the use of being unhappy?

It's just that I pity the "Blind Detective" which is scheduled to be released on July 4th and starring him.

Under the influence of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", "Blind Detective" was openly boycotted by many movie fans and netizens.

Even before the movie was released, it was already labeled as a "bad movie", which is really tragic!

…

When arriving at the downstairs of Feiyue Film and Television Building, as expected, Chen Fei was once again besieged by a group of reporters.

"Director Chen, when are you going to hold a press conference for "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom"?"

"Director Chen, how did you convince Han Sanping to play the role of 'Mountain Eagle'?"

"Mr. Chen, what do you think of the extremely high attendance rate of "Tiny Times"?"

"..."

A group of people are asking questions. If you think carefully, you will find that almost all of these questions are pitfalls!

"The start-up time will probably be early next month..."

After selectively answering a few questions, Chen Fei quickly walked into the company with the help of the security guard at the door.

As for the group of reporters and paparazzi, they were naturally blocked from the door.

They can gather outside the door, but are strictly prohibited from entering the company. This is the rule of all film and television companies.

Unless invited.

Taking the elevator to the top floor, Chen Fei saw Huo Wenxi, who had arrived early, in the reception room on the side of his office.

However, what surprised him was that there was Liu Shishi sitting next to Huo Wenxi!

"This is what you are doing?"

Chen Fei had vaguely guessed something, but he was still ready to confirm it again.

Huo Wenxi smiled slightly, led Liu Shishi to stand up, and introduced solemnly: "Mr. Chen, Shi Shi has decided to join Feiyinghuang Agency. After signing a five-year contract, I will ask you to support him in the future. ”

"..."

For a moment, Chen Fei didn't know what to say.

Cai Yinong is also quite unlucky. One brother ran away and the other sister joined another family. Moreover, they all had a serious quarrel with the original company.

Chen Fei didn't know what the specific entanglements were, but he knew one thing.

Cai Yinong is not an ordinary person!

"Director Chen, thank you for helping me out last time. I will ask you to help me in the future." Liu Shishi took the initiative and spoke with gratitude in his eyes.

"It's just a piece of cake." Chen Fei waved his hand casually and asked her some relevant information: "Has it been cut with the Tang people?"

"Yeah, the termination contract has been signed. From now on, I have nothing to do with Tang Ren."

When he said this, there was a feeling of "relief" in Liu Shishi's tone, as if he had escaped from a devil's cave.

This comparison is not excessive at all. After all, she was clearly shown off by Cai Yinong at the Shanghai International Film Festival.

There were too many examples in the circle of people becoming enemies after breaking up, but she didn't expect that it would apply to her.

At this time, Huo Wenxi helped: "The Tang people haven't issued a notice yet, I'm going to send one out tomorrow."

"Okay, you guys can figure it out." Chen Fei nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he added: "There is another character in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom". He doesn't have many scenes, only a few minutes, and he just hasn't finished yet. If we find a suitable actress, let Shi Shi make a cameo.”

Hearing this, Liu Shishi's eyes suddenly lit up!

"Thank you, Director Chen!"

She really didn't expect that she would get a movie role right after joining the company.

Although it was just a guest role, it was "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy". I don't know how many people in the circle are fighting for it!

If she continues to stay in Tangren, she may never encounter this type of role in her life.

For a while, Liu Shishi only felt that the future was bright.

Until she walked out of the Feiyue Film and Television Building, her whole head was still a little confused, and from time to time she would have an illusion that she was dreaming.

Huo Wenxi has seen too many actors like her.

In the past, she was used to "poor days" and suddenly turned around to live in a "big villa", which naturally had a huge psychological gap.

After getting in the car, Huo Wenxi made a small summary for this trip to Feiyue Film and Television: "Shishi, you must remember that no matter when, choice is always more important than hard work!"

After coming back to her senses, Liu Shishi nodded silently and quite agreed with this sentence.

…

Early in the morning of the 28th, the media announced the news about "Tiny Times".

"Tiny Times", a youth-themed movie written and directed by Guo Jingming, starring Yang Mi, Guo Caijie, Ke Zhendong and others, closed at 73.23 million on the first day! A great victory!"

"Tiny Times will hold a celebration banquet..."

"Director Guo is expected to become a first-line director!"

"The movie "Tiny Times" has unlimited box office potential, and the goal has been set to hit a box office of 1 billion!"

"The attendance rate on the first day was as high as 45%, let's see how it goes on the next day."

With the media's extensive coverage, the entire production industry was shocked by this number!

A fledgling newcomer, who crossed over from publishing novels to the director circle, and then made a work, actually got such a high box office result.

This is going to take off!

Like everyone else, when Chen Fei saw this number, he also subconsciously thought that Guo Jingming's crossover was going to be declared a success.

But soon, when he checked the relevant film reviews, he found that the controversy of this movie was not ordinary!

Moreover, most of this "controversy" is not from the perspective of fans, but from professional film critics, experts, screenwriters, producers, and well-known directors from all walks of life.

"The movie "Tiny Times" can be called a model of exaggerated and confusing values. The gorgeous and extravagant style has completely formed a morbid outlook on life!"

"From the box office performance of this movie on the first day, it can be seen that Guo Jingming is not only a successful writer, but also a powerful "businessman". He has a sharp vision and is forward-looking. He accurately grasps the aesthetic orientation of some young audiences at present. He made a big splash in his first directorial role. I admire him. "

"In such a youth inspirational love movie with a scattered and pretentious plot, the characters' acting is stiff, various symbols and labels are piled up, the images are stereotyped, and a few songs string together the plot, just like a super long MV, inexplicably tearing, then reconciling, tearing again, and then reconciling again, so repeatedly, it is simply not nutritious! ”

“As a youth-themed movie, it is full of all kinds of extravagant styles of showing off wealth. Such a movie is simply a poison to young audiences whose minds are not yet mature!”

“Money worship, vanity, materialism, if such a spirit is allowed to spread, I can’t imagine to what extent the three views of contemporary young people will be shattered? ”

A large number of negative reviews even caused a wave of heated discussions on the Shanghai International Film Festival, which had already ended.

Many people are questioning how a fledgling non-professional director who made a work that shattered all three views could win the two awards of Best New Director and Best Film in a certain module of an international A-class film festival?

Since the selection of these two awards was conducted by the organizers of the film festival, many doubts appeared on the official website of the film festival.

What is speechless is that the Shanghai International Film Festival actually made a very strong response:

"All awards are selected with a fair, just and open attitude, and there will be no favoritism or shady operations. I hope that all sectors of society will be aware of this..."

As soon as this notice came out, there was a chorus of boos in the circle.

Everyone is in this circle, who doesn't know what the domestic award selection is like?

Fair, just and open? It's really laughable!

…

For a whole day, as many as 2/3 of the people in the film industry were watching the online battle.

Looking around, a large number of film critics, directors' associations, screenwriters' associations, and even producers' associations, etc., have rarely united to boycott the bad plot of this movie.

In the end, even the Federation of Literary and Art Circles stood up and said that the plot of "Tiny Times" was too vulgar and was completely destroying the three views of contemporary young people.

The huge war of words was quite eye-opening.

You know, even a recognized super bad movie like "Fuchun Mountain Dwelling" has not been publicly attacked by a large number of filmmakers and film critics.

But "Tiny Times" created a miracle today!

Of course, Guo Jingming's fans will naturally not give up.

Soon, people in the industry realized what the power of "fan circle" is.

When those film critics and industry insiders pushed the Douban score of "Tiny Times" down to 5.0 (out of 10 points), the huge number of Guo Jingming fans on Douban, who were mainly "post-90s", formed two distinct camps with the former and began to give positive reviews, which once raised the score to 8.5 points!

At the same time, a large number of fans were madly cursing at the Film Association, Screenwriters Association, and film critics on Weibo.

"Our box office performance is so high, isn't this a success? You are just jealous!"

"What's wrong with Director Guo? What did he do wrong? Didn't he just make a box office hit movie? Is it necessary for you to make such a big fuss?"

"Sisters, let's not be timid, we can't let them laugh at us, we are successful, we haven't failed!"

"..."

The two sides went back and forth, and the controversy showed no sign of stopping. From the movie itself to the heated debate it triggered, "Tiny Times" has directly become a special case in the Chinese film industry.

One of the reasons for the continued anger of these fans is naturally inseparable from Guo Jingming's tricks.

Facing online abuse, he put himself in a weak position, denounced the persecution caused by the entire film industry, and called on fans to remain rational.

"I don't know if I have touched the cake of some people, so that I am targeted by the entire industry, but I hope that if you have any dissatisfaction, you can come to me, please don't scold my fans.

They are innocent, they just want to support their favorite works, they have not made any mistakes, and they should not be abused!

And I will not admit defeat, I can't let those fans who support me feel disappointed, I want to tell the entire film industry loudly that I am invincible!

"Tiny Times 2" will officially land in domestic theaters on August 8. This is my charge to all the abusers, and it is also my support and recognition for my fans.

Dear fans and friends, please believe me, I will not admit defeat, and I will still shoot the third and fourth parts as planned. "Tiny Times" will not end completely because of these storms!"

His voice directly produced a violent chemical reaction among the fan group, triggering more people's brainless support.

These crazy fans even went to crash the official account and website of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, which once caused the situation to fall into a very stalemate.

In the office, Chen Fei couldn't help but marvel at the news on the Internet: "Awesome! Really awesome!"

Wang Changtian, who was sitting opposite him, also sighed: "This group of fans is really terrible, they are simply brainless and hard-core!"

Chen Fei shrugged his shoulders. Although he didn't say anything, a sentence popped up in his heart: "The fan circle is really terrible!"

Just then, Wang Changtian suddenly said: "Damn it, if I had known that this would happen, I should have stopped it when "Breakup Master" signed with Yang Mi."

"Has it been signed?"

"Yeah." Wang Changtian smiled awkwardly: "I was thinking about taking advantage of the popularity of "Tiny Times" before, and after the movie was released, I would inform the public that Yang Mi had joined "Breakup Master". Now it seems that I have to suppress the news for a while."

Chen Fei didn't know how to say him. This is purely a case of being too smart!

You know, Yang Mi's Weibo had already exploded at this time.

Just like "Tiny Times", fans were defending him, while passers-by were fiercely criticizing her.

Chen Fei, with the idea of ​​eating melons, deliberately looked through Yang Mi's Weibo.

Under the Weibo promoting "Tiny Times", a war of words had already been set off!

"Didn't you read the script when you were filming? You actually accepted such a work that destroys your worldview? You really lost your mind for money?"

"Haha, I was wondering why you terminated the contract with Feiyinghuang Agency at that time. It turned out that you wanted to take such a play!"

"Consuming fans and consuming character, you will be in trouble sooner or later!"

...

Chen Fei couldn't judge Yang Mi's behavior. After all, everyone has their own ambitions. Some people do it for fame, while others do it for profit. People's hearts are always complicated.

"My personal suggestion is that the filming of "Breakup Master" should be kept low-key, and try to wait until this wave of heat is over, otherwise..."

Chen Fei didn't say the rest of the words. He believed that Wang Changtian could understand the interests involved.

But the next second, as Wang Changtian told another piece of news, he suddenly realized that Wang was also very good at this trick!

"For the previous "My Deskmate", we finally chose Gao Xiaosong to be the director, and the leading actors were Lin Gengxin and Zhou Dongyu."

Chen Fei frowned instantly, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"You...what do you think?"

Wang Changtian's expression became more and more embarrassed: "It's not that I can't find a suitable director, and Gao Xiaosong happened to ask for it in person, and he also promised to shoot it with his heart, so I just hired him."

Chen Fei shook his head helplessly, and when many words in his heart came to his mouth, they all turned into one sentence:

"Wish you good luck!"

...

At the same time, in the crew of "Gu Jian Qi Tan".

Because the controversy on the Internet was so intense, Yang Mi's mentality was affected, and she was slow to get into the role during filming.

She simply took a half-day leave and prepared to adjust her state.

After hearing about this, Zeng Jia rushed from the capital to Hengdian without stopping.

"Mimi, I don't think you need to think about this at all. It's just a few comments and it won't have any impact on you.

In my opinion, this movie has great box office potential, and as a commercial film, box office performance is the criterion for judging whether it is excellent or not.

Think about it, before the movie was released, Deng Chao enthusiastically invited you to be the female lead in the movie. This is the benefit of fame.

If "Tiny Times" can be a hit at the box office, your worth will only get higher and higher in the future. Your salary and advertising endorsements, as well as the resources you will have access to in the future, will be better than before. What do you think? "

With some persuasion from Zeng Jia, Yang Mi gradually came out of the haze.

She exhaled a long breath, her eyes extremely determined: "Yes, the higher the box office, the more benefits it will have for me. There is no need to consider other things."

Zeng Jia smiled with satisfaction and secretly added in her heart: "Go ahead and work hard. The benefits to the company will be greater than to you personally."

"Jingle Bell!"

The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted Zeng Jia's thinking. After seeing that the call was from her assistant, she didn't think much and directly pressed the connect button.

The next second, the voice on the phone stunned both Yang Mi and Zeng Jia.

"Sister Jia, Liu Shishi announced that he has joined Feiyinghuang Agency, and also got the opportunity to star in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom"!"
