Chapter 937: The long-lost anti-fan is online
At the Shanghai airport, countless fans and reporters were waiting outside the airport, anxiously waiting for the crew of "The Butterfly Effect" to return home with honors from overseas.
Because as of today, the global box office of the movie "The Butterfly Effect" has exceeded 500 million US dollars!
Although this box office is not as good as that of "Roman Holiday", "Roman Holiday" had a box office explosion due to various favorable factors, as well as the continued influence of international events. "The Butterfly Effect" is different. It was completely achieved through hard work!
And Lin Fan officially took off and became China's top serial director.
In the director circle, many big-name directors and academic directors believe that "The Butterfly Effect" directed by Lin Fan can better demonstrate Lin Fan's directing ability than "Roman Holiday".
More importantly, unlike other directors, Lin Fan's works are becoming more and more international - overseas box office, popularity, audience feedback, etc. are all comparable to those in China.
This is completely not on the same level as those movies that are widely acclaimed in China but flop when it comes to the international market and fail to adapt to the local environment.
The Chinese film market has exploded in recent years, but there are still various problems. For example, foreign blockbusters are making a lot of money at the Chinese box office, but Chinese films are having a hard time opening up in the Blue Star market.
The Chinese film industry has made various efforts to break this deadlock, but the results have been disappointing: occasionally there are surprising works, but it is difficult to become the norm.
It was not until Lin Fan emerged that many people saw the hope of Chinese films breaking out into the world.
Some media even directly shouted that Lin Fan is the leader of Huaxia Film and will soon lead Huaxia Film to break through the current predicament and successfully fire the first shot in the Blue Star market.
The key is this slogan. In addition to making Lin Fan's fans very happy, it also won the approval of many bystanders.
Many veteran filmmakers, especially big directors, don't like to hear this kind of talk, but Lin Fan's reputation is so strong now that even the biggest directors don't dare to sing a different tune at this time.
Not to mention other filmmakers: the bigwigs are all avoiding him. It's not like he's crazy about becoming famous, so he doesn't want to go against Lin Fan at this time!
Therefore, amid the silence of the film industry, the media, fans, and bystanders were completely excited and began to praise Lin Fan in various ways on their own media accounts, online topics, and various social platforms.
It was as if overnight, Lin Fan became the light of the entire Chinese film industry. Wherever he went, he would illuminate the direction of the Chinese film industry and save the Chinese film industry from years of quagmire.
It has to be said that this kind of online praise is so overwhelming that it is out of control.
At this time, Yang Hongxia was still with Lin Fan and the crew's leading cast on a roadshow overseas for "The Butterfly Effect" when she received a series of life-threatening calls from her assistant Xiao Ye who stayed in China.
"Sister Xia, the public opinion monitoring shows that the situation is not good. The power of this wave of tap water is too great!" Xiao Ye has never seen such a momentum.
Everyone on the Internet praised Lin Fan unanimously, and even many of Lin Fan’s famous haters came out to apologize for their previous defamation of Lin Fan, and promised not to defame Lin Fan again in the future.
There are also many well-known online nitpickers who have joined the ranks of blindly praising Lin Fan, not to mention Lin Fan's fans and passers-by who have a good impression of Lin Fan.
"Don't panic. Can we find out whether this incident was instigated by someone behind the scenes, or whether it was just fans and passers-by who were the ones contributing to the cause and then took advantage of the situation?" Yang Hongxia was very calm.
Yang Hongxia knows that no matter how well a person does, no matter how good his character is, or how excellent his works are, there will always be some people who dislike him.
If Lin Fan has shined in various fields with his hard work in recent years and gained a large number of fans and passers-by's favor, and then stimulated by the box office of "Roman Holiday" and "The Butterfly Effect", such a large-scale praise of Lin Fan happened, Yang Hongxia could completely accept it.
But there were so many people on the Internet, all praising Lin Fan, not a single person finding fault with him, not even a single sarcastic comment. This was too obvious, someone was definitely behind this.
As for who the troublemakers are, Yang Hongxia also has a list in her mind. After all, the more popular Lin Fan is and the better his works perform, the more he blocks other people's paths and robs other people of their interests. If these people unite to deal with Lin Fan, Yang Hongxia would not find it strange at all.
But the problem is, were these people the ones who were behind this whole thing from the beginning to the end, or were they just going along with it and doing bad things in secret?
In response, Xiao Ye said: "It should be the latter, otherwise the fan club would not be unaware of such a large event."
Wang Lingli is quite good at managing the fan club. Those who want to cause trouble and launch such a large-scale event without going through the fan club, Wang Lingli's die-hard fans can immediately sense that something is wrong.
Now they don't have much reaction, which shows that this matter is a spontaneous gathering of people. At the beginning, there was no organization. But at this point, anyone with a discerning eye can see that something is wrong.
Yang Hongxia knew what was going on when she heard this: "I see. Contact the hot search team first and try to suppress the hot searches related to Lin Fan. If you can't suppress it, change the keywords for the hot searches. In short, Lin Fan's works can be on the hot searches, but Lin Fan himself cannot."
"I understand, Sister Xia, what next?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Then contact the fan club and ask Wang Lingli to control the fans and withdraw from this wave. Stop providing a steady stream of attention and traffic to those who are stirring up trouble behind the scenes. Without fans' participation, such a massive topic activity cannot be supported by passers-by and tap water alone."
"clear."
"If the heat doesn't die down, I'll give you some dirt on other artists. You release it, stir up the situation, and then wait for me to come back."
Xiao Ye wrote down Yang Hongxia's arrangements one by one, and then contacted Wang Lingli. The studio and the fan club worked together and finally reduced the heat of this mindless hype a lot.
Xiao Ye was still waiting for someone to jump out impatiently, but he found that the whole network was quiet and no one wanted to make trouble. This made Xiao Ye, who had a lot of negative information about artists, feel regretful: it seemed that he had no chance to expose the negative information himself.
People who want to cause trouble: Do you think I’m stupid?
It's fine to hide behind and do things secretly, but at this time, the situation is obviously not favorable. Whoever jumps out will die. I don't want to jump out at this time. I can't do anything and I will tear my face apart. What good will it do me? I have to say that people who dare to do these things are still smart.
At this time, the crew of "The Butterfly Effect" was also about to return from overseas. The attention of the media, fans and passers-by was diverted by this incident. Everyone was ready to go to the airport to pick up Lin Fan and to be the first to send their blessings and cheers to the crew who returned with honor.
