Chapter 914: The First Word Is a Bomb! Public Opinion Has Completely Exploded! Come Out and Confront Them Head on if You Have the Guts!

In a blink of an eye, time has passed from July 1st to the morning of July 2nd.

Looking around, at this time, almost all the Hollywood imported blockbusters released in June have withdrawn from the Chinese market, leaving only "Independence Day 2: Resurgence".

Early in the morning, Yang Ying posted another promotional Weibo, calling on fans to watch this Hollywood imported blockbuster "starring" her.

The daily new box office of the film is quite good, and it received 27.722 million yesterday.

However, the publicity of this movie has almost dissipated, because the time for the booming Chinese-language films has officially arrived!

Just yesterday, the comedy action movie "The Bounty Hunter" starring Lee Min Ho, Zhong Hanliang, and Tang Yan took the lead and officially kicked off the summer vacation.

It is a pity that the box office of this movie on the first day only got 42.052 million, and the related film reviews and word of mouth were not particularly good, and the Douban opening score was only 6.9 points.

If this is a low-cost movie, the producers can already start counting money.

However, the investment cost of this movie is as high as 200 million!

If this number is true, it means that the movie must get at least 600 million to break even.

But according to the current first-day box office results, it is probably impossible to get 600 million.

Many fans gave comments such as "poor plot logic", "old-fashioned story", and "stiff acting" after watching it.

Based on this, if nothing unexpected happens, this blockbuster that kicks off the summer vacation season may fail.

Before everyone in the circle had time to mourn "The Bounty Hunter", the Hollywood imported blockbuster "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out of the Shadows" made a grand debut in the early morning of the 2nd.

Because of its participation in the production and distribution, Alibaba Pictures took advantage of the popularity of this movie and successfully pulled up its own stock price.

However, due to the influence of "No Other Love" directed by Zhao Yanzi, Alibaba Pictures' stock price has fluctuated too violently recently.

But fortunately, with the efforts of Alibaba Pictures, the online public opinion about "No Other Love" has been reduced a lot.

I believe that after a while, netizens will put this matter behind them.

This road is destined to be bumpy and even has no end. It is a dead end!

…

The moment he landed at the Capital Airport, Chen Fei looked around and could clearly see various movie posters hanging in the airport hall.

"The Bounty Hunter", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out of the Shadows", "Lu Yao Knows Mali", "The Great Reversal", "Tarzan Returns: The Battle of the Jungle", "Skiptrace"...

Of course, the most popular and the largest scale of publicity and promotion are "Legend of the Gods" and "Detective Chinatown 2".

Chen Fei is not clear about the investment in the publicity and promotion of the former, but he knows the amount of publicity and promotion funds for "Detective Chinatown 2" very well.

24 cities nationwide roadshows, subway stations, high-speed rail stations, train stations, bus stations, billboards, posters, material layouts of major cinemas, variety shows...

So far, the publicity and promotion funds for "Detective Chinatown 2" have reached 100 million!

Chen Fei did not set a limit specifically. He told the publicity and promotion department that there would be no problem even if it exceeded 100 million.

As long as the popularity is large enough, he is willing to pay even 200 million for publicity and promotion.

The production cost of this movie is 200 million, even if 200 million publicity and promotion funds are added, it is only 400 million.

According to the "3 times box office recovery cost" calculation, the box office of "Detective Chinatown 2" only needs to exceed 1.2 billion to start making a profit.

And Chen Fei's box office expectation for this movie is 3 billion!

He has the confidence to push the box office of this movie up. After all, he now has a lot of publicity channels and a whole cinema chain that is larger than Wanda!

Based on this, "Detective Chinatown 2" may even break the box office record of 3.412 billion of "The Mermaid".

What the outside world doesn’t know is that the production cost of Detective Chinatown 2 has already been covered by advertising revenue alone.

More than a dozen advertising endorsements include Xiaomi mobile phones, Rolex watches, China Merchants Bank credit cards, Shenzhou Car Rental app, DJI drones and many other wealthy sponsors.

The cost of 200 million yuan was easily covered.

Until now, unless all the protagonists in the movie are ruined, Chen Fei can’t imagine why the movie will suffer losses?

…

Because he deliberately did not disguise himself, Chen Fei was recognized when he arrived at the airport gate.

First, a fan shouted his name in surprise, and then the reporters and paparazzi squatting nearby reacted immediately and rushed to surround him.

The media really didn’t expect that Chen Fei would show up at the airport so openly, so that everyone thought it was not him who was walking towards them!

In order to prevent congestion at the exit, Chen Fei had to direct the traffic: "Let's go to the open space over there for the interview, so as not to delay the travel of other passengers."

After a lot of trouble, the exit was finally unobstructed.

Before getting off the plane, Chen Fei had already anticipated the current situation and was ready to accept media interviews calmly.

So, he was not impatient, nor did he want to leave in a hurry. He looked like he wanted to chat with everyone.

The reporters at the scene were overjoyed when they saw his attitude.

"Director Chen, Producer Liu had previously revealed that you went to Hollywood to do the post-production of "La La Land". Is this true?"

"Yes, it's true." Chen Fei responded, and even revealed some more news: "The post-production of this movie has been completed.

If nothing unexpected happens, everyone should be able to see the finished film released in theaters in the second half of the year. As for more news, I won't say it. Let's keep it mysterious for now."

"La La Land" is expected to be released in the second half of the year?

There are so many inside stories revealed in Chen Fei's words that many reporters at the scene were enlightened, as if they had captured some key information.

Then, someone asked him about his next plans and some related issues of "Operation Red Sea".

He knew everything about this.

Except for some key information and some news that he himself didn't know, he didn't deliberately hide anything else.

He even told everyone that the commercial film support plan he organized had invested in two film and television projects.

For a while, the media on the scene began to get excited.

A reporter from a gossip entertainment newspaper asked tentatively: "Director Chen, I wonder what you think about the recent controversy over the casting of the crew of "No Other Love"?"

Everyone didn't have much expectations, and in fact, many people thought that Chen Fei would definitely not pay attention to this issue.

However, at this moment, what everyone never expected was that Chen Fei actually started to clear his throat.

"Ahem!"

He raised the corner of his mouth and pretended to be nonchalant, but the words that came out of his mouth were no less than a nuclear bomb dropped in the entertainment industry!

"In fact, there is no need to argue about this kind of thing. In my opinion, it can be easily handled.

Any other filmmakers and directors who support her are also welcome to attend the press conference. How about we bear witness together? I just don't know if you dare to come?

If it is really confirmed that she was wronged, then good, I will definitely start a new play later, and you can choose the male or female lead!

But if the evidence found by netizens is true, then don't blame me for being rude. I believe that with my influence, it is not a problem to ban one or two reactionary actors."

After that, under the shocked gazes of many media, reporters, and paparazzi at the scene, Chen Fei walked straight through the crowd and walked towards the exit.

Outside the gate, Liu Yifei was leaning against a big red Ferrari sports car, with her hands clasped in front of her chest, looking at Chen Fei leisurely as he was being watched by many media.

From a distance, she opened her arms: "My hero, welcome home!"

Chen Fei walked up to her and hugged her tightly. Regardless of the gazes of the people around him, he kissed her cherry red lips heavily.

"I thought you were going to sleep in today and couldn't get out of bed."

"Hehe." Miss Liu smiled sweetly: "I'm going to take you home first, and then take a nap."

Fade Chen said seriously: "It just so happens that I need to adjust to the time difference, so... sleep together?"

The flowery words were exchanged for a very nice roll of the eyes and a bunch of keys thrown at him.

Accompanied by the roar of the engine, the Ferrari quickly drove away from the airport, leaving only a string of light blue exhaust.

At this time, the airport was already in an uproar!

"What the hell?! Good guy! It has to be Director Chen! He spoke with a bang!"

"What Director Chen said is quite right. Since it is all fictitious, why not hold a press conference and let everyone come out to confront each other?"

"Interesting, very interesting. I thought this matter was over, but I didn't expect there would be new variables!"

"Haha, lively, too lively, it's going to be a big deal, the headlines have been locked!"

"I really didn't expect Director Chen to say the word 'ban'. It seems that he is really angry. Does he have any key evidence?"

Along with the heated discussion, many media in the airport either sent the interview video back to the company or simply squatted on the ground and started to rush to write the manuscript.

At this time, it is time to start competing for popularity and traffic!

…

At the same time, in Wang Baoqiang's studio in the capital.

After studying the framework of the ending of the script of "Lost in Hong Kong" for more than half an hour, a phone call suddenly interrupted Ning Hao's thoughts.

After taking a look at Yang Hongtao's name on the caller ID, he frowned slightly and pressed the answer button.

"Director Ning..."

The other party had just uttered two words when he was interrupted by Ning Hao: "Director Yang, I know why you called, but I have thought about it carefully. I really can't take the job of producer."

Hearing this, Yang Hongtao suddenly felt a headache!

Liu Bei used the strategy of three visits to Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountains, but now he has invited Ning Hao to come out of the mountains, and he has already visited him five times.

But without exception, all failed.

Since the end of the drinking party that day, he clearly noticed that Ning Hao had a defensive mentality towards him.

He has always wanted to untie the knot in Ning Hao's heart, but for some reason, he feels that it is getting tighter and tighter!

"Director Ning, Ning Ying has already given her best intentions. If you are still not satisfied with the 10% investment share, I can make the decision and give you 15%, 90 million. What do you think..."

90 million!

To be honest, when Ning Hao heard this number, he could clearly hear the "bang bang bang" pounding heartbeat coming from his chest.

This number is quite tempting to him.

But at the same time, he became more vigilant.

He doesn't think that he can get a salary of 90 million just as a producer. This is completely unequal to his ability.

Okay, that being the case, why is Ning Ying so persistent?

"The plan is very big! The plan is very big! This horse riding is simply making a huge bet with the future of the company! It's okay if the bet wins, but if the bet loses, wouldn't it be completely ruined?"

Working with a company that has a "gambler's mentality" is obviously not a wise choice.

At this moment, Ning Hao only felt a chill running down his spine, and his whole body was trembling unconsciously.

With a huge gamble of more than 700 million, this horse riding is even crazier than risking your life!

He immediately refused without hesitation and said: "Sorry, Director Yang, let's end the production matter here. I have new projects to follow up on, and I really can't get away from it, so let's leave it at that for now. "

After saying that, Ning Hao hung up the phone directly, completely cutting off Yang Hongtao's thoughts.

Putting the phone in his pocket, he breathed a long sigh of relief and felt that his whole body felt much lighter, as if a large thick dark cloud hanging over his head had been dispelled.

However, at this moment, Wang Baoqiang, who was at the desk, suddenly shouted in surprise: "Director Ning, come and see, Director Chen actually shouted at the airport to have the "No Other Love" crew and netizens confront each other."

"Oh? Really?"

Hearing this, Ning Hao came to the computer curiously.

Looking around, the Internet is already full of press releases and entertainment gossip about Chen Fei.

"At eight o'clock in the morning, director Chen Fei returned from Hollywood and revealed that the film "La La Land" has been completed and will meet the audience in the second half of the year."

"Previously, Liu Yifei has revealed that "La La Land" will participate in the film festival selection. Based on the release time revealed by Director Chen, there is a high probability that the film will appear at this year's Venice International Film Festival. Please stay tuned. Let’s wait and see!”

"Facing the recent controversy on the Internet about the crew of "No Other Love", Chen Fei said that black people can never be whitewashed..."

"Director Chen Fei officially issued a message to the crew of "No Other Love", asking Zhao Yanzi, Dai Liren and others to hold a press conference to confront netizens and distinguish right from wrong!"

"What is true can never be fake, and what is false can never be true... If it turns out that Dai Linin and the Japanese actress are both reactionaries, then banning them will be their final destination!"

In just a few hours, the public opinion that was about to be suppressed was suddenly overturned by Chen Fei again.

Those netizens who felt extremely angry because their comments were deleted seemed to have seen a guiding light, and came back again, and made a fierce "roar":

"Good! As expected of Director Chen! This is the real leader in the film and television industry!"

"Director Chen's words make me extremely sure that that guy's butt is definitely not clean. Otherwise, how could Chen Fei use the adjective "black can never be washed white"?

"Support the ban! Be expelled from the Chinese film and television industry forever!"

"Little Japanese bitches, go back to your shabby island and accidentally like it with your fingers? Do you think I believe it or not? Is it still reasonable for you to worship a ghost society?"

"If you ask me, these little people should be driven out of our country. Don't let them stay in all hotels. Let them sleep on the streets!"

"I personally support holding a press conference for a head-on confrontation. What I have in my hand is all conclusive evidence. Who dares to argue?"

"If you can, don't go to the trolls to report my posts. Let's go one-on-one! Let's see who is right."

"Haha, Director Chen scolded me well. This woman Zhao Yanzi is really full of shit in her head. She is the only one who can do such a thing. It's really disgusting."

The massive storm of public opinion on the Internet struck again, catching the crew of "No Other Love" off guard.

Looking at these press releases and posts, Ning Hao couldn't be more excited. He took out his phone without hesitation and posted a Weibo post:

"If we really hold a press conference, can I be counted as one? I just happen to be there to bear witness, x-on:陈飞x-on:飞盈影视x-on:"No Other Love" official blog."

Wang Baoqiang silently watched Ning Hao's behavior and directly chose to forward it without thinking too much.

With the participation of the two people, more partners from Chen Fei's camp immediately chose to repost and like it.

By the afternoon, the popularity on the Internet had once again ushered in a new round of eruption!

"Nuclear bomb" - completely exploded!
