In Joaquin's office.
Shen Lianjie silently looked at some of the actors' information in the crew, and his mood was not very good.
Although these actors are beautiful, they lack strength and popularity.
It's fine to let them act in youth idol dramas, but if they act in science fiction movies...
Forget it.
Please stop ruining my reputation. Otherwise, the same situation as "Capital City" might happen again.
He lit a cigarette and smoked silently.
He seldom smoked before, and he always thought that cigarettes were not a good thing. But in the past six months, he smoked more often than in the previous thirty years combined.
Why?
So sad.
In the past six months, ever since "Capital City" gave him a hard slap in the face, he found that everything was wrong.
Nothing ever went his way.
In fact, in the initial auditions, he did have the intention of competing with Lu Yuan a little bit. His hardware conditions in all aspects crushed Lu Yuan, and even the number of contestants was three times the total number of Lu Yuan!
He felt that this audition could at least give him some fun.
Unfortunately, although it was exciting, the show was also huge...
but……
It's useless.
By the end of the day, apart from those energetic and flirtatious contestants and the countless acquaintances in the casting process who had connections, he realized that this audition was a trap.
The publicity effect was not achieved, the ideal talented players were not found, and I was even so frustrated that I became the biggest loser.
In fact, if he had not taken the initiative to follow Lu Yuan in the audition this time, he would have suspected that he was being tricked by Lu Yuan.
"Director Shen, there is good news..."
"What good news?"
Just when Shen Lianjie closed his eyes and felt a headache, the door of the office suddenly opened, and Xiao Zhang ran straight in without even knocking.
"Lu Yuan's company's official Weibo account announced the final cast. Can you guess who it is? That's right, you definitely won't be able to guess who it is!"
"Who is it? It must be Liu Fangfei or An Xiao." Shen Lianjie shook his head.
In fact, he didn't have the leisure to read Weibo at this time. He even felt that the endings of many things were completely doomed.
If something is destined, does it matter whether you see it or not?
One meaning.
"no!"
"Is it Liu Fangfei?"
“No!”
"Dong Binbin?"
“Not at all!”
"That is..."
"Xu Lu!"
"who?"
"Xu Lu."
"???"
When Shen Lianjie heard such an unfamiliar name, he was confused and bewildered at first.
Xu Lu?
It seems that there is no name of this young actress in the circle. Could she be a new rising star?
That's not right. Even if she is a new rising star, he should know that.
"Director Shen, you don't have to guess, because you would never guess that she is a student who is about to graduate from her senior year!"
"What! A senior student? Is that true?" After hearing the news, Shen Lianjie stood up from his chair as if he heard a collision between Mars and the Earth. This was really unbelievable for him!
"Director Shen is real! It's absolutely true! Look, this Lu Yuan didn't care about the online fans' battle and directly chose an outsider..."
"This... is really done this way?"
When Shen Lianjie saw the official Weibo of "Remote" Entertainment, he was shocked.
At first I thought I had seen it wrong.
But when he confirmed that he was not mistaken and Lu Yuan really did it, he was even more confused.
Even a fool knows that choosing An Xiao at this time will bring the greatest benefit!
The first is to hype up a scandal between the two of them, and the second is that the online criticism is so fierce now, if An Xiao is really chosen, this war of words may come to an end...
At worst, choosing Liu Fangfei, Dong Binbin or other leading actresses is also a good choice, because each of them has a group of supporters behind them, which in itself can bring box office revenue to the movie.
but……
You actually chose Xu Lu, a college student who appeared out of nowhere?
Is she popular? Has connections? Has fans?
She has nothing!
Don’t you know the consequences after you chose Xu Lu?
The online fan wars may be resolved, but they might all unite and start to curse you...
You, Lu Yuan, do have some popularity on the Internet, but what can you do if these fans unite?
No matter how awesome one person is, can he be better than so many fans working together?
"Yes, he did."
“Awesome!”
At this moment, even Lu Yuan's opponent Shen Lianjie had to give Lu Yuan a thumbs up.
Then he immediately opened his computer and checked the headlines of major portals and Weibo. After seeing the content, the depression and unhappiness of the past six months were instantly swept away, and he even felt that his life had reached its peak.
"Director Shen...should we add fuel to the fire?"
"It must be! It must be!"
…
"Shocked, what is Lu Yuan trying to do!"
"Shocked, women cried after watching it, men were silent after watching it, this person actually..."
"So many actresses are paving the way for a college student? Who is this college student?"
"What exactly does Lu Yuan want to do? Will this operation become the fuse for the collapse?"
"Maybe An Xiao's joining Lu Yuan's company was just wishful thinking?"
"Such a good opportunity to hype, why not hype it up? Lu Yuan, what on earth are you thinking!"
"Crazy, maybe Lu Yuan has gone crazy!"
“…”
All major portals and journalists were stunned after seeing the official announcement on Remote Entertainment’s Weibo.
Then they rushed to write various fancy news headlines that made it to the headlines of major sections.
Then, they felt that this matter was unexpected, but also reasonable.
After all, Lu Yuan has never been a person who plays by the rules.
Would a person who dares to advertise his own movie at an awards ceremony play by the rules? This person is an advertising king!
When they thought of this, they felt something was wrong.
Doesn't this person know that choosing An Xiao is the most suitable means of publicity? Later on, he can also hype up some gossip. Isn't everything OK?
But……
This guy didn't do that. Instead, he chose a college student who was completely unpopular, and he chose such a college student among so many beautiful actresses!
What does this mean?
Aren't you declaring war on these fans?
Aren't you indirectly thinking that those young actresses are not as good as that unknown college student?
You are totally courting death!
Moreover, you are really invincible by doing such a cool thing when your Weibo account is about to be unblocked.
Aren’t you afraid of your Weibo account being blocked?
…
Early morning of March 3rd.
Lu Yuan’s Weibo account has been unblocked.
After the block was lifted, what came was not the congratulations from Weibo fans, but a series of curses!
Unprecedented fierce scolding!
"What do you mean, Lu Yuan, what do you mean, what's wrong with our Fang Fei! Why don't you choose our Fang Fei!"
"Yeah, a college student, what is he? What qualifications does he have to compete with our An Xiao?"
"Fuck, Lu Yuan, if you don't give us a reasonable explanation, we will scold you until your Weibo account is blocked again!"
"Yes, Lu Yuan, get out!"
"Resolutely boycott Lu Yuan, and resolutely boycott Lu Yuan's movies!"
"right!"
"Lu Yuan, please give us a reasonable explanation. We, Jin Chen, worked so hard to give up Shen Lianjie's invitation and come to your place for the audition. This was originally to give you face. Now, not only do you not give us face, but you also use this poor college student to insult us. What qualifications do you have to humiliate us, Jin Chen!"
"Yes, what qualifications do you have?"
"Grass!"
"Brothers, make him admit his mistake!"
"Yes, admit your mistake and apologize!"
“…”
The fan fight a few days ago turned the entire Internet into a mess. You can always see messages scolding the young actresses and all kinds of unfounded scandals.
Today this person is being scolded, tomorrow that person is being scolded, it’s so varied!
But since early this morning, all the negative comments about these young actresses have disappeared. Instead, there are angry fans everywhere, cursing at Lu Yuan's Weibo, Tieba, official website and other channels, and even unprecedented solidarity...
Lu Yuan, Xu Lu, college students...
These words became the hot search headlines on major browser websites in just a few hours, and were even followed by the word "hot".
In the early morning, Lu Yuan’s newly unblocked Weibo account was instantly scolded and made the top of Weibo’s hot headlines, once again bringing down the unlucky Wei Lai.
This time, when Wei Lai saw that he had become the eternal runner-up again, he was neither jealous nor speechless, and it was even more impossible for him to spend a huge amount of money to buy in-game items!
Instead, he was very happy.
Because he saw only curses from below.
Being scolded to the top of the popularity list made Wei Lai feel very comfortable!
Second one?
What's wrong with me being the second child?
I am proud to be the second one!
Comfortable!
I felt relieved in a way!
Of course, Lu Yuan's fans naturally couldn't just watch their son being scolded like this. After seeing the Weibo account being taken down, they all gathered together to resist the scolding and various ridicules, and even fought back...
The main battlefield this time was Weibo, with countless messages below, with hundreds of messages posted almost every minute. There were other fans criticizing Lu Yuan, and there were Lu Yuan fans criticizing other celebrities. In short, all kinds of voices rose and fell like waves, which was very uncomfortable.
The next morning, almost all of China’s weekly magazines and headlines reported on this battle. They found that this fan war seemed unusually fierce, and although Lu Ergou’s fans were suppressed, they did not completely collapse and resisted very tenaciously...
This made the media workers sigh that Lu Yuan's fans had such strong fighting power and cohesion that they could withstand a wave of attacks...
The war of words lasted for a whole day.
Then Lu Yuan’s Weibo was updated.
When everyone thought that Lu Yuan would update his Weibo with an apology, or directly explain to his fans why he chose this unknown college student, Lu Yuan suddenly did something that no one could understand.
"I'm very happy that Weibo has been unblocked. I'm grateful to the official Weibo leaders for giving me a chance to turn over a new leaf. At the same time, Groundhog Day and The Man From Earth are two very good movies. Please support them!"
"???"
“…”
"?"
"Fuck!"
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Are you crazy? You're still advertising at this critical moment. Aren't you afraid of being scolded?"
"God damn it, Groundhog Day and The Man From Earth!"
"Grass!"
After seeing that Lu Yuan not only showed no intention of reflecting on himself or even admitting his mistakes, but instead came up with a wave of advertisements that were even more cruel, all the fans who scolded Lu Yuan suddenly became even more furious!
As for Lu Yuan’s own fans, they were at a loss whether to laugh or cry!
Still as sexy as ever, still as sexy as ever...
Shameless?
…
The war of words continues.
And this time it lasted for two days!
Ever since Lu Yuan’s Weibo account launched another wave of crazy advertising, voices and words calling for a boycott of “Groundhog Day” and “The Man from Earth” could be seen all over the Internet.
These two movies instantly became hot searches on major platforms, and almost everyone on the Internet knew about them...
Then……
Two days later, Lu Yuan’s Weibo was blocked again.
This time it was blocked for another seven days!
Shen Lianjie felt very happy at first. It was great to see Lu Yuan being scolded like that. He even hired a group of internet trolls to cheer him up. He felt relieved when he saw Lu Yuan’s Weibo was blocked for another seven days!
But two days later, Shen Lianjie suddenly felt that something was a little bit wrong!
Damn it!
this……
Are all the fans helping Lu Yuan promote the movie in disguise?
And it’s free publicity!
This Nima...
Lu Yuan and his movie have been on the headlines for three consecutive days!
Every day when I open it, I see Lu Yuan and his movies!
It comes in different ways, and the heat has not diminished but has become more and more intense, as if it will dominate the headlines for another 10,000 years!
Damn it…
Is Lu Yuan trying to plot against everyone in various ways?
Can it still be done this way?
This person...
Are you so shameless?
