Reborn in a parallel world, Zhou Yiyang becomes the boss, manager, and errand boy of an 18th-tier girl group...
Who could have imagined that five years later, Zhou Yiyang's girl group swe...
The discussions among netizens also have a huge impact on the actors.
This is the case with Luo Chen. A few days ago, he searched his name on the Internet and found that he was flooded with praise for his improved acting skills.
Who would have thought that five days later, when I searched his name again, all that came out were curses.
"Can Luo Chen's fans please stop manipulating the comments? It's disgusting to watch!"
"A movie is being marketed everywhere, as if they really think it's that good!"
"Can this kind of marketing movie please stop using war themes? It's smearing the soldiers!"
Someone else sent a private message to Luo Chen:
"You still want 5 billion? Go and dream on!"
Luo Chen roughly understood what was going on, but he really didn't expect that a box office forecast would cause such an exaggerated discussion.
Luo Chen, who had nothing to do, had no choice but to come to the set of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to seek advice from Zhou Yiyang.
When he rushed over, the heroine Zhen Huan, played by Tang Yue, was filming, and the others were watching with great interest.
Zhou Yiyang sat on the side and stared at the camera happily, as if the noise on the Internet had no effect on them at all.
"Why are you here?" Zhou Yiyang was a little surprised when he saw Luo Chen suddenly standing next to him.
"Brother Yang, haven't you seen the discussions online?" Luo Chen didn't dare to be evasive and went straight to the point, asking softly.
"Discuss?" Zhou Yiyang pondered for a moment. "Are you saying you think the 5 billion is just some exaggeration?"
"Yeah!" Luo Chen wanted to say, "Isn't that just bragging?" but he held it back. "Brother Yang, I just don't understand why everyone is so overconfident about a prediction. Besides, the quality of the film itself is obvious to all, yet some people are lying and accusing us of marketing."
Zhou Yiyang smiled. Since he wasn't in charge of the camera, he simply started chatting with Luo Chen:
"Let's start with a big premise. Do you think Meow Eye's box office prediction program is accurate?"
"Pretty accurate." Luo Chen said honestly, "The final box office has always been around 100 million yuan different from his prediction."
"Well, with this premise, doesn't that mean 5 billion is possible?" Zhou Yiyang glanced at Luo Chen's hesitant expression and added, "Putting aside emotional factors, let's talk about objective reasons."
"Yes." Luo Chen nodded again.
"So, if 'Wolf Warrior' really heads towards 5 billion, who's going to be the most panicked? This box office has instantly surpassed the all-time high by a billion. Is that an exaggeration? How are other film and television companies going to survive?"
Luo Chen had already been successfully persuaded by Zhou Yiyang: "You mean, it was someone in the same industry who was behind this?"
"They definitely did it at first, but because the number is so exaggerated and it's netizens' nature to question it, they had a preconceived notion that it was impossible."
"Behind this incident, netizens spontaneously mocked it. Because they feel that 5 billion is out of reach, when they stand up and mock big data and capital, they gain a sense of satisfaction from being the only one sober while everyone else is drunk."
"Not to mention that this voice is still mainstream. As long as you come out and say that 5 billion is a fantasy, people will like it, and many people are willing to do so."
Zhou Yiyang smiled and said, "Well, the lower-tier markets are not fully developed, and movie tickets are still expensive. There are objective disadvantages, such as this. But I still think that Wolf Warrior can reverse these disadvantages."
"At least I think the current number of screens in my country's cinemas is sufficient to support a box office figure of 5 billion yuan."
Perhaps it was because Zhou Yiyang's authority was too high, Luo Chen actually believed what he said.
He now seemed to hear many voices shouting "Fif billion!" "Fif billion!" in his ears, making him very excited.
Luo Chen glanced at Zhou Yiyang sitting across from him, and his voice trembled. "Really, Brother Yang? Is this 5 billion real?"
Zhou Yiyang, who was standing opposite him, patted his shoulder and said, "You'll know after seeing tonight's box office figures."
"But the box office has been falling since yesterday, no, the day before yesterday." Luo Chen sighed. This was also the reason why many netizens were shouting so happily: "Could it be the influence of online public opinion?"
"Don't you think that many of the people who are criticizing online aren't buying tickets themselves?" Zhou Yiyang continued, "As for the box office drop, it's normal. The day before yesterday was a Monday. But if you look closely, it still remained above 200 million on Monday. That's not a low figure."
"Those netizens all said that 'Wolf Warrior' box office plummeted, but they never mentioned that they still made 200 million yuan at the box office after the so-called plummet."
Hearing Zhou Yiyang say this, Luo Chen's confidence grew even stronger. He suddenly felt that he had almost been fooled by netizens: "Then why don't you come out and refute it, Brother Yang?"
"That's not necessary," Zhou Yiyang said with a bright smile. "It's a prediction of the future, and everyone has their own opinions. If I get involved, it'll just make us seem overly concerned with the data. Why don't we all just sit back and wait and see how the box office performs? Believe me, if Wolf Warrior's box office exceeds these people's expectations every day, they'll be the first to turn against us and speak up for us."
At this time, the assistant director listened to Zhou Yiyang's words and whispered, "Mr. Zhou, you are too knowledgeable! If you don't know, you would think you are also one of these netizens!"
Zhou Yiyang smiled without saying anything, but Luo Chen smiled foolishly with excitement at the thought that 5 billion might come true.
At this time, Tang Yue's role was over. She walked down in noble and gorgeous clothes, exuding the temperament of a favored concubine.
She glanced at Luo Chen and immediately burst into laughter, her temperament instantly gone: "Why are you here? No way, Brother Chen, are you angry about the comments from netizens?"
Luo Chen rolled his eyes: "How is that possible? I'm here to learn your acting skills."
At this time, Su Yin also trotted over. She had no scenes today, so she was wearing casual clothes:
"Brother Chen, you're here! Don't worry about what those people on the Internet say, they're just looking for temporary happiness!"
Luo Chen argued hesitantly, but no one believed him.
Zhou Yiyang glanced at him and continued, "Talk to Ling Hu too. Don't get angry and start arguing with the netizens. Think about it, even if your movie didn't make 5 billion, it was still a huge hit. It won the annual championship this year. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?"
"Yes!" Luo Chen finally reacted. He found that he had made a misunderstanding, as if "Wolf Warrior" would have failed without 5 billion yuan.
"After all, I am the champion of the year." Luo Chen became happy.
At night, he and Ling Hu were each browsing their phones at home.
When they saw that the box office of "Wolf Warrior" was still 200 million on the sixth day and had increased compared to yesterday, they all jumped up in bed with joy.
