The film "Chasing" grossed over 300 million yuan on its opening day, but the numbers started to decline in the following days. As reviews from various film critics appeared, many people gained a general understanding of the film's content and the actors' performances.

Many people were deterred by the images and videos circulating online.

Of course, some people watch it for the plot. If you try to ignore the two main actors' constant attempts to look cool and strike poses, and focus on the plot, it's still somewhat acceptable.

A few days later, a hashtag for the real-life couple of the villain and the male lead suddenly appeared, along with a large number of pictures. The pictures showed the two of them with their arms around each other on set, in relatively ambiguous poses, as well as some videos and GIFs that looked like a couple, which quickly attracted a group of fans who were into their looks.

The power of CP fans is strong. This caused their box office to start high and then decline, and then climb up again. So, a week after "Chasing" was released, the box office of "Chasing" finally recovered from the tragic drop to an average level.

After a week on the market, as of midnight, "The Chase" had grossed 500 million yuan and received a final rating of 7.2 stars.

Looking at the data values ​​of "Chasing", Sally said with certainty: "I bet this CP was definitely deliberately arranged by the official Chasing team. The solo fans of these two artists hate it when their idols are paired with other people, so the solo fans of both sides have been on high alert from the beginning. They suppressed any hint of it. So when Chasing first aired, there were no pictures of the CP at all. It can be seen how much effort their solo fans have put in for this."

Sally shrugged: "Now look what's happened, it's all gone. Their solo fans are probably furious."

Yin Chengjue casually browsed through the online movie reviews and said indifferently, "More than that, do you think all these movie reviews were posted voluntarily by the viewers? If they didn't have the power to withstand the pressure from fans, would they dare to post them like this?"

Sally suddenly realized: "You mean, the Blood Mist PR team did this on purpose?"

Yin Chengjue: "That guy surnamed Wei is not stupid at all. He has both funds and traffic, because these are his trump cards. Once the box office becomes unstable, he will blame it all on the actors' acting skills, and then take the opportunity to praise the fact that their plot is actually excellent, and then smoothly remove the pursuit plot itself."

Yin Chengjue took a sip of coffee: "After a while, the artists will be labeled as having 'poor acting skills,' leaving a bad impression on others. People will naturally think that the plot of 'Chase' is good, but it was just ruined by two pretty faces."

"Fans on both sides will definitely feel upset when they see such comments. Some fans who can't think straight will definitely defend their idols and then attack the show itself indiscriminately. This will only have a negative effect."

"Therefore, from beginning to end, 'The Chase' will not have any bad reputation."

"They're the ones who got the funding, they're the ones who made the money, they're the ones who received the praise. And those two actors, they spent money to act, used the tickets from their fans to boost the box office, and then they were attacked for their acting skills and personal attacks by all sorts of paid reviews, and in the end, they were just labeled as pretty faces. They put in money, effort, and fans, and they still didn't get any appreciation. Now they're being forced into a CP (couple pairing), and I guess the ending will be terrible." Yin Chengjue rested his chin on his hand, secretly glad that Rong Yu didn't act in "Chasing".

"Movies are different from TV series. Movies are short and end quickly. Once a CP (couple) fandom is formed, they need to enjoy the sweet moments. If they can't find any sweet moments, they'll have to find them themselves. So, solo fans and toxic solo fans will definitely cause trouble and fight. And CP fans can't watch that movie every day. So in the end, the CP fandom will definitely be broken up, and that will be another storm."

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems we should be glad he replaced Xiaoyu, otherwise all this would have fallen on Xiaoyu. I really couldn't believe that the man surnamed Wei was this kind of person," Sally exclaimed.

"Nothing is impossible when it comes to box office success."

While the production team of "The Chase" went to great lengths to boost box office sales, the post-production team of "Ghost" rushed to finish editing "Ghost" during this period.

Movies need to be reviewed by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television before they can be released, especially supernatural films, which are subject to stricter review because there have been cases where people have fainted or suffered cardiac arrest from being too frightened by the scenes in horror movies in theaters.

To avoid such situations, the review process is quite strict every time a supernatural horror film is released.

On the day of waiting for review, everyone was very anxious, fearing that the people sent by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television would feel uncomfortable during the viewing and ask them to make corrections.

It's not that it can't be changed, but that they're in a rush right now, and any delay would put the film on hold.

Yin Chengjue also invited many famous film critics to watch the film together. As long as the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television approves the film, the critics can publish their reviews.

"How did it go? Did it pass?" Sally asked for the nth time.

Yin Chengjue said helplessly, "The movie is two hours long, and they've only been inside for an hour."

Sally: "But I feel like so much time has passed..."

Yin Chengjue: "This isn't the first time you've managed an artist, is it?"

“But there’s never been a time crunch like this! If it doesn’t pass this time, it’ll take at least a week to make the revisions and get it approved again!” Sally said, conflicted. “The Chase is still showing in theaters. If we can release it right away, we can still catch the end!”

Just as Yin Chengjue was trying to reassure her, Assistant Guan called.

"Mr. Yin, there's been a problem with the review process, and it might need to be rectified."

Sally asked from the side, "How did it go? Did it pass?"

Yin Chengjue frowned deeply: "What happened?"

Assistant Guan said, "They said Xiao Yu's character is too scary, and they are worried about problems after it airs. After all, the investigation in this area is very strict now, and the scope of the content has been narrowed again and again. They are just worried about something going wrong."

Yin Chengjue: "Is the video finished playing now?"

Assistant Guan: "It wasn't finished airing. They stopped it halfway through. We only saw the part where Xiaoyu, wearing red, crawls out of the mirror. They made us revise and delete it, as well as the part where she crawls out of the water, the part where she crawls out of the TV, and so on..."

Yin Chengjue said speechlessly, "Do they dislike the action of 'climbing'?"

Assistant Guan: "Perhaps, but there's nothing we can do if they refuse to approve it now."

Yin Chengjue rubbed his temples: "Don't tell the crew about this yet, I'll handle it."

"Okay, Mr. Yin."

However, as soon as Yin Chengjue made the call and mentioned the matter, the person on the other end of the line laughed and said, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. The horror level of 'Ghost Trail' is not that high. It's just that the staff member who watched the movie at the time couldn't handle it."

"So, is there anything else we need to rectify?" Yin Chengjue asked tentatively.

The other side said, "No, the plot structure is quite good. It's rare to see such a heartfelt supernatural film these days. Many of the ones we've seen before were just for the sake of scaring people, without any substance."

Yin Chengjue moved his phone away, double-checked that he hadn't dialed the wrong number, and continued, "So, if we submit the relevant documents now, we can get approval for the film's release, right?"

The other end: "Yes, yes, hahaha."

Yin Chengjue: "May I ask one more question? My assistant said that the screening review was stopped halfway through. What was the reason for that?"

Over there: "...Ahaha, well, Mr. Yin, all you need to know is that your casting this time was good. Yeah, that male lead is a promising one!"

The male lead? Are you referring to Rong Yu?

Yin Chengjue frowned as he listened: "Could you explain in more detail?"

Over there: "Oh dear, Mr. Yin, you're a smart man. There's no need for further details; you'll understand soon enough."

I don't understand, thank you!

Looking at the phone that had been hung up, Yin Chengjue was completely bewildered.

He had dealt with similar problems in his previous life, so he knew how to properly resolve them. When Assistant Guan reported the situation to him, Yin Chengjue had already come up with several solutions.

But to his surprise, before he could even begin, the other side claimed it was a misunderstanding.

Recalling what that person had said, Yin Chengjue couldn't help but turn on his computer and pull out Rong Yu's file.

This is the file that Rong Yu backed up here when she signed the contract; it's an extremely simple file.

Yin Chengjue had never investigated Rong Yu's past in detail. Firstly, he felt it was Rong Yu's privacy, and he would only listen attentively if Rong Yu was willing to talk about it. Secondly, the things he saw in Rong Yu's room that day were still fresh in his memory, and he was worried that if he continued to investigate, he would uncover more of Rong Yu's secrets.

He instinctively felt that this was a secret Rong Yu didn't want him to see.

In Yin Chengjue's view, even the closest people should be given privacy. Closeness does not mean that you can be completely open with each other; this is a necessary form of respect.

"Never mind, just tell me yourself." Yin Chengjue sighed softly, closed the page, thought for a moment, and then sent Rong Yu another WeChat message.

Dig Three Feet Deep: The review has been approved. After the materials are submitted and stamped, it can be officially released. Get ready, the official Weibo will release a trailer tonight. Write a short review and forward it. Sally will contact your fan group.

Big Fish Spreads Its Wings: That's great! Now that it's passed the review, does that mean the movie will be released soon?

Dig Three Feet Deep: Yes, this is your first movie as the lead actress. I wish my little Yu great success at the box office for her first movie as the lead actress.

Big Fish Spreads Its Wings: I also wish my brother's first movie script a great box office success!

Dig three feet into the ground: [Cheers!]

The giant fish spreads its wings: [Cheers!]
