evening,

After the crew finished work, Qin Sheng led a group of actors and staff to have dinner together.

The restaurant that was booked was a farmhouse near the shooting site. Because they had to wait for Xiao Yuqin to remove her makeup, Qin Sheng asked Lao Qin from the photography crew to lead the group there first, and he would go there with Xiao Yuqin later.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Ms. Xiao finally arrived in a pleated skirt, and Wei Shaoyan's call was also late.

Wei Shaoyan was in high spirits, and the joy in his tone was almost overflowing from the screen.

"Qin Sheng, goodness! Did you know that I've already secured two of the three largest cinema chains in the country in just one afternoon? Vanke and Baoneng are both willing to release our film. This first step is a sure thing for us!"

"good."

Qin Sheng let out a long breath and said, "Send the preliminary trailer."

"Okay." Wei Shaoyan also laughed, "Let's look forward to the results~"

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it..."

Qin Sheng smiled back across the phone.

That smile was full of mystery.

…

At twelve o'clock in the night,

The preliminary trailer for "Benjamin Button" was officially released. Initially, things were quiet. After all, it was a weekday, not a weekend, and there were only a few people surfing the internet at midnight. However, the first to start the wave of activity were from Qin Sheng's only fan group...

The group that had been gradually reduced to a dead group of PY transactions due to Qin Sheng's long silence suddenly came back to life like a dead tree coming back to life.

"Wake up, everyone, wake up! Stop handing out those vouchers! Bright Moon Studio has released a movie trailer! And the male and female leads are Qin Sheng and Xiao Yuqin!"

"Are you serious?"

"Ahhhhhhhhh, Qin Sheng is actually filming a movie! Why don't I know anything about it?"

"Qin Sheng is too cowardly. He didn't even say a word about such a big thing. No, I won't let him fuck me anymore. This time I'm going to fuck him to death. If anyone is interested, please bring him to me. I'll hang him."

"666, fencing?"

"I saw the trailer and it seems quite interesting. Rejuvenation? That's something."

"Is it good? Anyway, I haven't seen it, but just because it was filmed by Qin Sheng, I have to support it without a second thought."

"Support? 1!"

“?2!”

"Brothers, charge! Director Qin is going to fight back!"

"I knew Qin Sheng was planning something big. He's been silent for so long because he was filming a movie!"

The group was in complete chaos, and finally the administrator Wang Wei stepped up to moderate Daju.

"Friends, Director Qin has made a new move. As his only fan base, we must give him enough support. So from now on, please actively like the trailer, and ask Weibo influencers to repost it. If you have editing skills, please shorten the trailer and promote it on platforms like Douyin. This will help increase the popularity of the topic. Thank you very much!"

The well-organized plans were listed one by one, and everyone hurriedly wrote them down. After all, these only fans were truly loyal fans and were naturally willing to contribute, so they all agreed.

"No need to thank me, just go ahead and do it."

"That's right, I've hated Guo Xiaoming for a long time. I hope Qin Sheng can do better."

"Qin Sheng, charge!"

…

At one o'clock in the morning,

The comments section for the trailer on Diana Studio suddenly erupted into two completely different opinions...

First, a group of netizens who were amazed by Jiao's series of trailer clips on video apps such as Tik Tok came to praise her.

"I came from TikTok, I think the trailer is pretty good!"

"From TikTok? 1."

"By the way, when will it be released?"

"I just realized when I got here that this was filmed by Qin Sheng! The heroine is Xiao Yuqin again. Oh my god, are they going to team up and unleash their magic?"

Then, in less than twenty minutes, the scolding began—

"What kind of thing is this Jill filming? A fairy tale?"

"It's a stupid story, I won't read it."

"Boycott Qin Sheng!"

Then the quarrel began...

"The one upstairs is a Guo Xiaoming fan, right? Who gave you permission to bark here?"

"That's right, if I kick you, you might shit."

"Why are you pretending so much? Qin Sheng doesn't even know how badly he got criticized on the show. He's just a failure."

"Where do all these blind people come from? Qin Sheng can make movies, and even a sow can climb a tree."

…

There were more and more comments, and it quickly climbed into the top 20 of the popular list at a terrifying rate, and the reputation of both sides was also showing an unstoppable trend.

And just at this moment, the list of China's film pre-broadcasting lists, which had been stable for nearly a month, suddenly underwent subtle changes.

The miracle of "Benjamin Button" actually squeezed out the original tenth place - "The Little Light"!

Moreover, the popularity of the pre-broadcast is still skyrocketing at an astonishing rate.

Everyone in the industry was dumbfounded. They had never expected Qin Sheng to secretly film a movie, and he was so low-key that he didn't even hold a press conference...

So, what was he thinking?

Was it a momentary impulse or was it something he had been planning for a long time?

Did you really make a movie just to prove yourself?

Not only people in the industry, but also senior executives of PYY and Yindu Entertainment were confused.

What's going on with Qin Sheng? He actually just said he was going to film a movie with a budget of nearly 500 million? Who's so fearless as to cooperate with him?

After a little inquiry, the answer I got was even more bizarre.

Even entertainment companies with a bit of capital have flatly denied any cooperation with Jiaoyue Studio. So, is Qin Sheng really going it alone? Has Jiaoyue Studio's foundation been completely drained?

"Qin Sheng is truly a man of character~"

Inside the headquarters of Yindu Entertainment, Wei Qian swirled the red wine in his goblet, took a sip, and sighed.

The assistant beside him also smiled and nodded, "Indeed, Director Qin was indeed impulsive this time. If this fails, then Jiaoyue Studio will probably be finished, and the reputation and foundation that they have worked so hard to build will be ruined."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Qin Sheng's action was clearly a result of anger and humiliation, and he wanted to silence the public through his actions.

But is it that easy to make a movie, especially a box office hit?

No,

Not simple at all.

How many popular directors have fallen into this black hole that swallows money but doesn’t return any reward?

"well……"

Wei Qian shook his head regretfully. "What a pity! Qin Sheng at least once collaborated with our company and brought us profits. If he were filming a TV series, I might have continued to support him. But when it comes to movies, he's still a bit behind. On the contrary, I'm a bit interested in Ning Heng's movies..."

"Ning Heng?" The assistant was stunned when he heard it. "Isn't that a director under SN? ... You should know about the feud between Director Qin and SN, maybe..."

“Hey!”

Wei Qian shook his head slightly. "There's no such thing as friends or rivals in this circle. Everyone is just chasing profit. I'm happy to be friends with anyone who can help me make money..."

He laughed bitterly, his face flashing with snobbish indifference...
