“What rubbish!”
"Are you just a villain who can only do things behind the scenes?"
"Last time you slandered us Er Gouzi and called us a pyramid scheme organization. Now you report us Er Gouzi again, causing our Er Gouzi movie to be rectified. Are you f*cking right?"
"I used to have a good impression of Bao Yue, but now it seems like she's rubbish. She couldn't beat Er Gouzi in the movies, so she's playing dirty tricks behind his back!"
"waste!"
“…”
After Lu Yuan posted the report on Weibo, everyone was pissed off.
In the eyes of netizens, this kind of report is completely fabricated and a vicious attack!
To put it bluntly, they just don't like Lu Yuan, but they can't defeat him in the movie, so they can only use despicable means to report Lu Yuan, and ask Lu Yuan's movie to be changed or even directly removed from the shelves...
Although some netizens are doing this despicable behavior behind the scenes, everything feels different when it is exposed.
Who is not available on the Internet?
To put it bluntly, you don’t even know if the person you are chatting with is a cat or a dog…
But there is at least one thing in common: few people like those who play dirty tricks!
On April 6, even though Sammul Chan meant that the matter had nothing to do with him, he actually sincerely hoped that Lu Yuan's movie would be a hit. After all, it represented a clash between Chinese and Hollywood films. He was also Chinese and hoped that Chinese films would prosper, so he planned to buy tickets to watch it.
However, many explanations are pale and powerless.
Although the IP did not reveal the Joaquin Department, only a rough address of Taiwan Island was revealed, but...
What enemies does Ergouzi have in Taiwan?
Isn’t the Joaquin Island branch the first to be affected?
It is normal for the two companies to have conflicts. After all, the popular young actor in Baoyue Company jumped to Lu Yuan's "Remote", and Chen Jianfeng scolded Lu Yuan's company on Weibo as a pyramid scheme brainwashing organization, and then he made various overt and covert moves...
Although Lu Yuan fought back in a ridiculous and deceptive way, this counterattack was obviously fair and just, and was done in a joking manner, and did not even harm the interests of any Taiwan Joaquin branch!
Judging from the recent series of events, Lu Yuan is a complete victim...
Moreover, at the last moment after the movie had become a small hit at the box office, you suddenly reported it. Don't you know how much damage this would cause to Lu Yuan?
And it's a very lame reason to report it.
The box office for half a day is not just hundreds of thousands, it’s definitely millions!
The relevant departments have not named any names, so how can you claim to be righteous?
In the half day before the movie was released, Sammul Chan was already scolded like a dog on the Internet, followed by other employees of the Huajin branch, and even the Weibo of the internal celebrity models were hit hard...
This kind of spray is different from the one I sprayed on Lu Yuan.
Although netizens criticized Lu Yuan harshly, they basically did so with a smile. It's just like when you are watching a movie and the male lead's behavior is so sexy, you can't help but curse him.
And basically all of Lu Yuan’s fans are like this now…
I am Ergouzi, we can scold, we can criticize and blame, but others can't!
If other people do something behind my back, I will scold you so badly that even your grandma won’t recognize you!
…
Half a day is not long, but also not short.
This is quite sad for a movie that was released only a day ago.
Generally speaking, if a movie is banned for half a day, it will definitely affect its box office. It is even very likely that the movie will never recover after the rectification is completed. After all, the popularity of the movie has just risen and you have banned it for half a day. What are you doing?
However, a similar thing happened in "Buried", but the editing of "Buried" was so bad that it was criticized and had to be rectified, while "This Man From Earth" was rectified because it was reported for unfounded reasons.
The reasons are different, but the results are the same, they are all blocked for a long time.
After 12 noon on April 6, the revised "This Man From Earth" was once again released in major theaters.
On that day, almost all cinemas were packed, and almost everyone went into the cinema to grab tickets for "The Man from Earth".
Lu Yuan has always been scolded on the Internet, but ever since the rectification incident, all netizens have pointed their guns at Chen Jianfeng's company. Lu Yuan, on the other hand, has won the sympathy and support of many people, which is even more explosive than on the premiere day.
This is a grand occasion that has never happened since the Hollywood movie "Your Future Self" was released in China!
When theater chains saw this scene, they knew that it was only a matter of time before "This Man From Earth" became popular, and it was even very likely that the box office would explode again...
At first, netizens who came to watch the movie thought that there would be some embarrassing situations in the revised movie, but then they found that except for replacing the gun with a kitchen knife, there was no change in the movie.
It doesn’t affect the quality of the film itself at all, but rather refines it a bit, making the film seem to flow more smoothly.
In this way, there is naturally no problem with word-of-mouth, and the online reputation is actually one-sided.
even……
You can't even see any haters!
Occasionally, one or two black fans would appear and they would be scolded by netizens, and even be labeled as trash.
Chen Jianfeng expressed that he felt aggrieved about this.
He found that now whenever someone on the Internet criticized "This Man From Earth", netizens would come and criticize him.
Now all the shit has turned into shit!
At this moment, he discovered that this bastard Lu Yuan was truly invincible!
Are you scolding him?
Sorry, there are too many people scolding him, you have to queue up.
Are you slandering him behind his back?
Well, now even if you don’t slander others, they will put the shit pot on your head. Now you are worse than a crow...
Not only did Lu Yuan not become a victim, but he became the biggest victim in this incident?
Why do I feel like I'm shooting myself in the foot?
Sammul Chan was depressed.
The only thing that made Sammul Chan feel a little comfortable was that the box office of "This Man From Earth" on April 6 was half a day less, at least the box office would not be too good.
This was the only way he could comfort himself.
But……
4. Early morning of 7th.
"Mr. Chen, today's box office rankings are out!"
“Who’s ranked number one?”
"Mr. Chen... the number one is..."
"Don't hesitate, just speak!" Chen Jianfeng was startled when he saw his assistant's embarrassed look.
"The first place is "This Man From Earth" with nine million, the second place is "Your Future" with six million, and the third place is..."
"Wait, that movie 'This Man From Earth' is missing half a day, right?"
"yes……"
“Is his box office so fierce?”
"right!"
“…”
After Chen Jianfeng received the data from his assistant, his face turned pale instantly.
The number of nine million was clearly visible right under his eyes, looking extremely dazzling.
"Mr. Chen, I think..."
"You go down first."
"yes."
After the assistant left, Sammul Chan sat quietly in his chair.
He closed his eyes.
This moment...
Lu Yuan's silly and devilish smile reappeared in his mind. He didn't even know why his ears suddenly echoed the words Lu Yuan said on Weibo...
"Mr. Chen, I have admired you for a long time. To prove my admiration, I will give you ten VIP movie tickets, and the tickets will also have my autograph..."
He let out a long sigh.
Finally opened his eyes.
At this moment, he wanted to slap this bastard a few times.
He has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, but he has never hated someone so much.
He didn't understand why such a bastard existed in this world!
Are you here to disgust me?
…
The box office on April 6th surprised everyone!
Yes!
What is the daily box office of "This Man From Earth"?
Nine million!
What does nine million mean?
A concept so horrifying that it is beyond description!
It can be said to be quite unscientific!
It hasn't been released for a long time, and now is not the peak season for movies during the May holiday, but the off-season in April!
This Nima...
It's crazy to be able to achieve such incredible results under such conditions, right?
"Your Future Self" only made 6 million!
You beat the Hollywood movie "Your Future" by three million...
Aren't you being too unreasonable?
We are all a movie, why are you so fierce?
Although my investment is not high, this is a Hollywood movie. Do I still want to maintain the reputation of a Hollywood movie?
Netizens all don’t know how to describe this moment.
Thompson, who was far away in the United States, was suddenly confused after seeing the box office data of that day.
Six million RMB was within his expectations, after all, the investment in "Your Future" was not large, and he just made it for fun, but it was really hard for him to accept that he was crushed by a Chinese movie...
This taste...
Very unhappy!
"Donny! I want information about this Chinese movie, detailed information!"
"Yes, Director!"
In the office, Thomson called his assistant Donnie.
A few minutes later, a file appeared on Thomson's computer. He clicked on it and saw detailed data on all aspects of "The Man from Earth".
His eyes widened when he saw the investment item.
He rubbed it in disbelief!
However, no matter how much he wiped his eyes, even after rubbing them until bloodshot, the data remained the same...
Then he frowned and picked up the phone.
"Donnie, what's wrong with you! Why are you so sloppy now? How do you do your job?"
"Director, what's wrong?"
"Oh my God, what kind of false information did you send me!"
"Director, I checked it, and the information is correct!"
"Did you see the $20,000 investment?"
"This... Director... I really didn't lie to you. The total investment of this movie is 160,000 RMB, which is about 20,000 US dollars when converted into US dollars..."
"What! You said this is a $20,000 science fiction movie?"
"yes."
“…”
After hearing the very certain news from his assistant Donny, Thomson's eyes widened instantly and his phone fell to the ground.
"boom!"
He seemed to hear the sound of his own worldview collapsing.
His mind went blank.
Oh my god…
this……
What is wrong with this world?
Is this still the world I know?
Defeat your own...
Is it a movie with an investment of 20,000 US dollars?
