Chapter 809: Destroying the Classics, Destroying the Original Work, and Destroying the Image; Alibaba’s New Project? Planning Is in Progress

Chapter 809: Destroy the classics, destroy the original works, destroy the image; Alibaba's new project? The plan is in progress...

In a blink of an eye, the time has come to July 5th.

What makes everyone extremely excited is that the A-share market, which once made countless people's heartbeats accelerate and blood pressure soar, now seems to be brewing a rebound.

Although its pace is slightly staggering and the amplitude is still small, the upward trend is like the tender buds of spring, revealing tenacious vitality.

The hot discussions on the Internet are surging like a tide, and every tiny change touches the hearts of countless people.

And those stockholders who have been sticking to the stock market, their eyes are shining with determination, and they shout the names of experts, as if those prophecies have now been verified.

On the other hand, those who left the market early seem to have missed something and are in a hurry to cover their positions again.

However, in this hustle and bustle, there are also people who always remain calm and rational.

Because they know that greed and fear are eternal themes in the investment market. The rebound at this moment may only be a short-term recovery. There is still a long way to go in the future, and we need to move forward cautiously.

However, for those listed companies, this rebound is undoubtedly a timely rain.

After all, their market value has already suffered a heavy blow in the previous decline, and now they finally see a glimmer of hope for recovery!

Huayi took advantage of this opportunity and quickly released a number of good news, hoping to return to its previous glory.

After the fluctuations in the past few days, Huayi's market value has fallen from 90 billion to 75 billion, evaporating 15 billion out of thin air!

This gap is really terrible. If it is not filled up quickly, there is a high possibility of big trouble in the future.

At the same time, just as the stock market is "about to" recover, the competition in the summer vacation of the film industry has gradually entered a state of dire straits.

After three days of screening, the box office performance of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" has smoothly reached 174 million, and the daily new box office in the most recent day has even reached 70.87 million!

There are doubts on the Internet, and some people are even analyzing whether this movie has been box office-boosting?

Otherwise, how could it be possible to achieve such a high box office performance when the word of mouth and film reviews are so bad?

"Huh? I'm inflating the box office? Do I need to inflate the box office?"

Looking at the doubts on the Internet, Brother Chen Kai snorted coldly, and his impression of those ordinary people was lowered again.

In his opinion, the reason why the box office of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" is so high is clearly a symbol of his directorial ability and the quality of the film.

He now has reason to suspect that the negative reviews on the Internet are likely to be made by competitors who hired water armies.

And if nothing unexpected happens, it is probably the water armies hired by "Sicario"!

The latter was released for two days. After the box office exceeded 40 million on the first day, the box office on the second day soared to more than 60 million, so that the total box office broke the 100 million mark.

This speed of increase in performance is really too suspicious.

"Haha, no need to guess, it must be inflating the box office!"

Brother Chen Kai muttered, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, and gave several orders in a nagging manner.

In the afternoon of that day, many news reports about "Sicario" suddenly appeared on the Internet, attracting the attention of many people.

Chen Fei also saw these news reports, but he didn't care at all.

Doesn't he know whether there is a box office increase?

Could the screening rate and attendance rate reported by Pan Asia Cinema Line be wrong? Are the eyes of movie fans blind and can't even distinguish right from wrong?

"Go and investigate where these news reports are spread from. At this time, there are still people using such inferior means? It's really stupid."

While giving the order, Chen Fei actually had a rough answer in his mind.

If nothing unexpected happens, this must be the arrangement of the great poet Chen. After all, only a "proud" person like him would make a move in an open way.

And the way to deal with it... is actually very simple.

After his subordinates quickly investigated, Chen Fei directly ordered: "Since the great poet Chen wants to play, then play with him.

Arrange our people to move around, remember, don't follow the crowd to post bad reviews, we have to post good reviews, and they must be extremely exaggerated, praising "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" to the sky and the earth."

"Ah?" The head of the public relations department on the other end of the phone was confused: "Mr. Chen, why is this? He used tricks to mess with us, but we helped him instead. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Chen Fei laughed and explained: "You have to know that this person actually has a rebellious mentality."

As soon as this was said, the other party understood it instantly!

You know, the higher-ups have banned many accounts recently, causing complaints on the Internet.

It's obviously you who made the mistake, changed your mind every day, and didn't know how to repent, but you actually wanted to suppress it by force!

This kind of operation will indeed be effective if it continues for a long time. After all, although the Internet has memory, it can't remember something for a long time.

But in the short term, the anger of netizens was transferred to Chen Kaige and the movie "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", so that the Internet was full of negative reviews.

At this critical moment, if a large number of good reviews suddenly appeared, it would undoubtedly stimulate the rebellious psychology of a large number of netizens.

By then, I think the situation should be extremely exciting!

"Director Chen, you still have an idea!"

"Okay, let's make arrangements."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei couldn't help but reveal a bit of expectation in his eyes.

He really wanted to see how Brother Chen Kai would respond to the "siege" from the entire network?

…

This summer vacation is destined to be turbulent!

The next morning, just as "The Taoist" and "Sicario" were in theaters, many more movies and many film and television companies announced their new projects.

The first to make a grand appearance is "Westward Journey 3"!

At the press conference, the much-anticipated starring lineup was officially announced, and this news quickly occupied major news headlines and hot search lists.

The enthusiastic participation of actors such as Wu Jing, Xie Nan, Han Geng, and Tang Yan has undoubtedly injected new vitality and excitement into this classic, and has also raised fans' expectations for this movie to unprecedented heights.

However, with the announcement of the starring cast, heated discussions on the Internet also followed.

One of the most talked-about topics is how "Wolf Warrior" Wu Jing will interpret the classic role of Tang Monk?

You must know that Tang Seng is an indispensable soul figure in "Journey to the West", and his image of compassion and wisdom has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But Wu Jing's screen image doesn't seem to have anything to do with Tang Seng, right?

Many netizens are secretly speculating that the setting of Tang Monk in "Westward Journey 3" is from the same origin as Fahai played by Zhao Wenzhuo in the movie "Green Snake"?

"Snake demon, I want you to help me..."

In addition to the role of Tang Monk, Erlang Shen played by He Jiong has also attracted widespread attention.

You know, although Erlang Shen does not appear much in the original work of "Journey to the West", his majestic and mysterious image is unforgettable.

The most classic interpretation of this image is undoubtedly Jiao Enjun in "Lotus Lantern"!

But there seems to be no comparability between He Jiong and Jiao Enjun, right?

Not surprisingly, Teacher Six jumped out immediately and logged in to complain:

"Destroy the classics, destroy the original work, destroy the image...for some bullshit 'nonsense', they do whatever they can, and there is no lower limit to their operations..."

Looking at the news on the Internet, Chen Fei was also speechless.

Wu Jing owed so many favors on Hong Kong Island that he had to risk his reputation to repay them.

Fortunately, he has repaid most of his favors in recent years, otherwise if he had made a few more bad movies, his popularity with the audience would have been affected!

…

In the morning, almost all the attention of the film and television industry was focused on "Westward Journey 3", but when the time came in the afternoon, the entire entertainment industry's attention was attracted to Alibaba Pictures.

Just because, after months of preparation, Alibaba finally officially announced a new "film and television drama" project!

Like the previously officially announced "A Little Smile Is Alluring", this time, Alibaba has also prepared a project plan for a movie + TV series.

The media has already published relevant reports online:

"This afternoon, Alibaba Pictures held an extremely grand film and television drama project conference, and officially announced that it will launch a film and TV series adapted from the popular online novel "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom"!"

"It is reported that "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" is an ancient novel written by the seventh son of the Tang Dynasty. It tells the fairy love story of Bai Qian, the queen of Qingqiu, and Ye Hua, the prince of Jiuchongtian, who experienced three love-hate entanglements and finally got married."

"According to analysis by industry experts, "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" can be classified as a large IP, and its popularity is not inferior to "A Thousand Bones of Flowers." The simultaneous development of movie and TV series versions can earn Alibaba no less than 2 billion. Huge profits!”

"According to reliable information, "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" was previously a project of Galloping Pony, and was later purchased by Alibaba for a huge sum of money."

"This film and television drama project conference is just a warm-up. On July 10, Alibaba will invite many actors and artists in the industry to attend the event to experience the love story of 'Bai Qian' and 'Ye Hua' and participate in the grand event together!"

As the press releases were exposed one after another, the Internet exploded.

In less than half an hour, the popularity of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" exploded. The topic and discussion level soared, and it became a hot search on Weibo!

It was accompanied by heated discussions and excitement in the entire film and television industry.

For many netizens and novel readers, this may be a very popular online novel that will be adapted into TV series and movies, and that’s it.

But for people in the film and television industry, it means: great heroine + soaring number of fans + soaring celebrity status and net worth + explosive popularity...

Looking at it, no matter which one it is, it is a fatal temptation for actresses in the industry, not to mention the addition of so many conditions!

For a time, countless brokerage companies and artist studios took notice, and the original novels were bought one after another and sent to the hands of major female stars in the industry.

…

"Mimi, this is an excellent opportunity!"

On the set of "Grand Trail", Zeng Jia excitedly told Yang Mi how popular "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" is now.

The more Yang Mi listened, the brighter her eyes became!

At this moment, she thought of "The Story of Ancient Swords" and "A Thousand Bones of Flowers"... The popularity of these TV series is the best evidence for "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom".

"If you can get the qualification to star in both the movie and the TV series at the same time, then it is no exaggeration to say that you will become the most popular and topical female star at the moment, bar none!"

Hearing this, Yang Mi felt itchy: "The press conference on casting rules will be held on July 10th, right? I will be there then."

"Yeah, that's right." Zeng Jia responded as he took out a gold-gilded invitation from his bag: "This is an invitation from Ali."

Yang Mi took the invitation, glanced at Fan Bingbing who was wearing a motion capture device on the set, and asked casually: "Have you heard? Who are my competitors?"

Zeng Jia was well prepared, and said: "Yang Ying, Ni...Tang Yan, Bai Baihe, Jiang Yiyan...Liu Shishi, Guo Caijie, Jing Tian...Zhou Dongyu, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang...these are all potential candidates. your opponent."

After hearing the name Liu Shishi, Yang Mi frowned subconsciously.

"Sicario" has been particularly popular recently, and as the film's leading female lead, Liu Shishi has undoubtedly become more popular, overturning all the infamy she had suffered before.

If she also participates in the competition of "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", she will undoubtedly be one of the biggest competitors.

Finally, when she heard the name Liu Yifei, Yang Mi frowned suddenly and asked in disbelief: "Are you sure? Will Liu Yifei also participate in the competition for roles?"

If she competes with others, she still feels confident.

But competing with Liu Yifei for a role, let alone her, even the currently popular domestic entertainment drama Si Dan Shuang Bing Yi Shu Yi Tang will probably have to stop.

She is the first Cannes Best Actress in domestic entertainment. "The Worst Man in the World" is still in theaters. Who can compete with her?

Zeng Jia also frowned at this time: "According to rumors, Ali's people have been frequenting Hongxingwu recently. They seem to be playing the trick of 'visiting the thatched cottage three times'. They probably want to invite Liu Yifei to star in the movie version of 'Bai Qian'."

"Forget it, we'll see what happens later." Yang Mi sighed: "Send me a copy of the original novel first, and I'll take a look at the specific content before making a decision."

"good."

Zeng Jia responded and quickly left the set.

…

The day flew by, and when dawn came in the UK, Chen Fei received a call from Jiang Xuerou.

"Dr. Chen, this Ali is too arrogant. Isn't it just a "Three Lives Three Worlds"? It seems to be unique in the world. Are you talking about surpassing the highlight moment of "A Thousand Bones of Flowers"? Ha, I just laughed, how about I use "The Legend of Chu Qiao" to snipe them?"

Chen Fei was dumbfounded when he heard this: "What's the difference between you and those big liars? They are playing on the Internet, and what they pursue is popularity and hype. Can you beat them?"

"If it's more than the hype, it will definitely not be as good as the hype." Jiang Xuerou suddenly changed the topic: "But the quality of the TV series we produce is high, which is our biggest advantage.

Since Alibaba loves to hype, let's just go with it, just like the original "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" and "The Legend of Ancient Swords". In the end, quality is not what they depend on? "

This was quite reasonable, but Chen Fei was speechless.

In the end, he could only shake his head and responded: "Then just watch and call me if you have any difficulties. I will arrange for someone to assist you. Regarding the Internet... I have some experience."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei took advantage of the break to have breakfast to pay attention to what was going on online.

Looking at it, the movie "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" is really popular. It ranks first on Weibo's hot search list, and its popularity is a huge hit!

It is impossible to say that Ali did not have a boost, but the novel itself is indeed very good, which is also one of the foundations for its success.

While refreshing the list, Chen Fei also saw a new piece of news that was occupying the third place on Weibo's hot search list.

“‘Ode to Joy’ has been on the air for a week, and its ratings have steadily increased, with the latest episode ranking first in the ratings for the same time period.

A phenomenon-level TV series has officially kicked off, and the new model of female-themed domestic series has triggered a drama-watching boom..."

When he saw this news, he immediately became happy: "Huh? Is this a slap in the face?"

He still clearly remembers that when this show was first aired, it was questioned by many people inside and outside the industry because it ranked twelfth in the country in terms of ratings.

At the beginning, some people said that the slogan "Feiyue Film and Television only produces high-quality products" might be applied to this "Ode to Joy" because its ratings are really not very impressive.

But now, only a week has passed, and the data has directly reversed, and the ratings data has successfully won the first place!

It can be seen that good dramas will not be buried.

It may take a few days to bloom, but it won't stay dull forever!

"After watching the first few episodes, I was deeply touched. The characters in them are so real that people can ignore that they are actually fictional. I am just watching my life!"

"People often say that a TV series must be grounded, but "Ode to Joy" has been caught in the dust. Isn't this a true portrayal of life?"

"I like Qu Xiaoxiao, hehe, I dare to love and hate, it's great!"

"Why is Qiu Yingying so stupid? Yang Zi, you were obviously very smart when you could play Xia Xue?"

"I declare that "Ode to Joy" is the best domestic drama this year! I love it so much!"

"Didn't many experts analyze that this drama is destined not to be a hit? Where are the people? Why don't they speak out now? Why delete the article? Come on, keep fighting with us!"

After a quick look at the comments from netizens, Chen Fei moved his eyes away from "Ode to Joy" with satisfaction, and then set his sights on the second, fourth, and fifth on the Weibo hot search list.

"The Republic of China fantasy martial arts masterpiece "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" directed by Brother Chen Kai has been released for 5 days, and the total box office has closed at 261 million yuan, with a daily increase of more than 30 million, and has fallen back to 25.39 million."

"The movie "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" has fallen below 6 points on platforms such as Maoyan and Douban, and there are countless negative reviews on the entire network!"

"Sicario" has been released for 4 days, and the box office has exceeded 280 million, surpassing "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" for the first time, and successfully leading the July summer season!"

Looking at these news, Chen Fei unconsciously raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.

The plan was successful!
