night.

Gradually getting deeper.

There was an overwhelming amount of curses on the Internet, and at the same time, some well-known figures in the circle also posted condemning Weibo posts one after another.

Under the huge public opinion, Joaquin finally couldn't sit still anymore.

It finally began to carry out its remedial measures.

Of course, it did not apologize first, but announced on Weibo that Ms. Zhao Shuyi would be relieved of all her positions in Huajin and 80% of the shares would be transferred to her daughter Xu Cancan. At the same time, it issued a commitment post that it would strictly discipline any employee in the company, set an example, not make the same mistake again, and hoped that everyone would supervise it unanimously.

Ten minutes after the announcement, they apologized to Yuancheng Entertainment and the entire crew of A Chinese Odyssey very earnestly, and stated that they would compensate Yuancheng for all losses, etc.

This series of apology Weibo posts seem very serious and sincere.

but……

These things did not receive a response from the "Remote" Weibo, nor did they receive a response from Lu Yuan himself.

It was as if "remote" had completely ignored this series of apology measures.

Xu Cancan closed her eyes silently.

I feel very uncomfortable.

She felt that Lu Yuan was really angry at this moment.

If it were me, would I be angry?

Xu Cancan found that she couldn't accept this apology either.

But……

That's all she can do now.

Similarly, Joaquin’s series of remedial measures not only failed to convince netizens, but online public opinion bombarded Joaquin even more fiercely!

Once anger is aroused, it is difficult to calm down.

In anger, these fans and moviegoers have been accusing the media and social platforms of making such a big fuss and not letting it go so lightly, and at the same time supporting the "remote" non-response!

The weak have always been sympathized with.

In their eyes, "A Chinese Odyssey" and "Remote Control" are the weak ones.

Not only that, they think that this is not only an apology to Lu Yuan and "A Chinese Odyssey", but also to all the fans who support "Dream Travelers", and even more so to other Chinese filmmakers...

The sense of justice suddenly exploded.

Joaquin did not respond directly at this critical moment, but instead used countless public relations to try to divert attention. At the same time, he planned to give the matter a temporary cold treatment, waiting for time to pass and for the heat to die down before making some public relations preparations.

After all, people nowadays are forgetful, and these opinions will eventually disappear after other headlines appear.

But, the same thing.

The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop...

Joaquin had a good idea.

But these are all based on normal circumstances where the relevant departments do not handle them.

If the relevant departments decided to deal with it, everything would be different.

In the early hours of the next day, the relevant department updated its Weibo account, saying, "In response to the recent 'box office theft' incident, a series of penalty clauses have been formulated and promulgated, and unnamed warnings have been issued to individual companies and theaters..."

Although not criticizing or warning by name is already a concession to Joaquin, in fact, anyone who is not a fool knows who owns the company in this matter...

Joaquin's move was really stupid!

It's easy to be typical.

After this wave, the relevant department’s Weibo received countless likes instantly, but Joaquin was once again caught in the spotlight and was scolded by countless netizens. The next day, its stock price went down as sharply as the Hulunbuir grassland and hit the limit down.

The subsequent impact of this incident is also very great!

Especially for the science fiction movie "Dream Travelers" which everyone is optimistic about.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Countless fans on the Internet have posted messages to "boycott" "Dream Travelers" and called on people not to watch "Dream Travelers"...

Although they are radicals, the box office of "Dream Travelers" is actually shocking!

Two days!

Yes!

The two-day box office of "Dream Traveler" shrank from 40 million to 30 million in an instant. Just one day later, the 30 million dropped directly to 20 million...

Box office of 20 million versus 40 million!

All right!

This speed is as crazy as jumping off a building.

…

"How is that possible? This isn't right!"

“Why has the box office shrunk so much?”

"Is this the real box office? Is the real box office only 20 million? Looking at this trend, will it continue to shrink tomorrow?"

"A good hand of cards was ruined just like that?"

"Why?"

"this……"

"One billion works, one billion directors..."

"this……"

Shen Lianjie shook his head.

My emotions have been so up and down these past few days...

It's just a dream.

It’s just a dream!

wrong……

What does that familiar feeling mean?

After watching the declining box office, Shen Lianjie immediately thought of the original "Capital"...

Familiar recipe, original taste?

He took a deep breath and became afraid again.

He felt that he had to see a psychiatrist.

otherwise……

He probably had a mental breakdown.

…

Zhao Shuyi felt deeply regretful after reading the countless negative news on the Internet.

The relevant departments did not simply stand idly by but took action.

Her husband's face is not very good.

The impact of the relevant department's warning on Joaquin is absolutely huge. It is no exaggeration to say that this incident will definitely become a stain on Joaquin in the future.

No matter what Joaquin will be like in the future, this is a hurdle that he will never be able to overcome.

Zhao Shuyi rubbed her head.

What’s the use of regret?

She never expected that some of her business operations would end up in such an irreversible way...

She originally thought that Lu Yuan was just a soft persimmon.

After all, their Joaquin is an old large company, while Lu Yuan's company is just a new small company.

Lu Yuan is very famous in the circle, but does Lu Yuan dare to do this?

As long as he understood a little, he would choose to agree, and then she would give him some compensation from the box office.

She thought it made sense.

In fact, Joaquin did do something similar a few years ago, and those directors basically swallowed their anger and let it go after receiving corresponding compensation from the company.

She thought Lu Yuan was the same.

But……

She never imagined that Lu Yuan was not a soft persimmon, but a ferocious man-eating tiger. He even bit Joaquin so hard that he was seriously injured and had a lot of negative news about him.

This moment...

She suddenly realized deeply that the entertainment industry today is completely different from that of this year!

It is no longer the entertainment industry that I know.

"Um……?"

At this moment, Zhao Shuyi was stunned.

It seems that Lu Yuan has never shown up?

It seems that he has never shown up in this matter from beginning to end, has not posted a word on Weibo, and has not held any press conference.

He remained silent from beginning to end...

wrong!

Why do we feel like we're going to fall before he even makes a move?

this……

Zhao Shuyi suddenly became very complicated.

…

"Is the actual box office of "A Chinese Odyssey" 35 million?"

"Yes...it seems to be thirty-five million!"

"This is how it should be. No wonder I always feel like the box office is not right. When I went to see A Chinese Odyssey, the theaters were packed. It's impossible that the box office is just this low."

"yes……"

"It seems that Er Gouzi's "A Chinese Odyssey" not only did not fail, but also made a fortune..."

"The chances of Dream Travelers breaking the 1 billion mark are not very high, so now we have to look at A Chinese Odyssey... By the way, I heard that the movie A Chinese Odyssey was also released in the US?"

"Yes, it was released at noon today..."

"Um, I don't know how the box office is over there."

"I don't know... The box office in America is weird... Some are good, some are bad, who knows..."

“…”

When someone is down, someone else is down.

This is an eternal truth.

"Dream Travelers" was boycotted by movie fans, but "A Chinese Odyssey" grew wildly as if it was on drugs, with the box office exceeding 30 million for several consecutive days, and it was extremely stable afterwards.

At the same time, the positive reviews gradually replaced the negative reviews. I don’t know when this sentence started to circulate on the Internet: “When I watched “A Chinese Odyssey” for the first time, I just thought it was nonsense and the ending was rubbish, but when I watched “A Chinese Odyssey” for the second time, I was moved and tears came out…”

Some people are willing to watch it a second time.

After watching the movie for the second time and reading a series of film reviews on the Internet, those fans who didn’t think that the movie was any good suddenly developed a strong sense of identification.

This world's "A Chinese Odyssey" has also fallen into the misunderstanding of classic interpretation just like the original world's "A Chinese Odyssey"...

Of course, some people still sneered after seeing these film reviews that received a lot of likes. They thought it was an over-interpretation.

They felt that Lu Yuan didn't think so much when filming "A Chinese Odyssey".

What classics, what connotations...

Is there one in “A Chinese Odyssey”?

It's just a forced sentimental film.

But no matter what, under the leadership of this wave, "A Chinese Odyssey" achieved a turnaround. When "Dream Travelers" began to decline, "A Chinese Odyssey" was always packed in major cinemas.

One billion box office...

seem……

Is there still a little hope?

…

Lu Yuan was also paying attention to this matter.

However, Lu Yuan found that he really couldn't get involved in this matter.

What can he do by getting involved?

To whitewash "A Chinese Odyssey"?

Does "A Chinese Odyssey" need to be whitewashed?

To boost the box office of "A Chinese Odyssey"?

Does the box office need me to pull it up?

Lu Yuan didn't know why he felt speechless.

He is obviously the director of "A Chinese Odyssey" and also the biggest victim. Why is he now treated like a spectator and has nothing to do with it?

this……

What the hell can you let him say?

He didn't even have the slightest sense of participation...

Instead, I felt full of boredom.

It's really boring during these days of having a cold.

It’s so boring that I feel like I’m getting a cold.

Why……

I want to feel a sense of participation, too!

…

December 22nd.

The weather is fine and everything goes well.

Hu Wei looked at the calendar, then looked at the warm sunshine outside the window, and he felt that today was a good day for a lecture.

However, Lu Yuan felt that this day was a really bad choice.

He didn't know whether the day was good or not, he just saw three twos...

Three twos.

this……

What does this mean?

Does this mean that I am stupid now, or that everyone is stupid?

Can this be called a good day?

Can it be considered a day for lectures?

In short, Professor Hu Wei didn't care. When he saw that Lu Yuan stopped sneezing and looked much better, he dragged Lu Yuan to Yenching University without saying a word.

The lecture was originally scheduled to start on December 15th, but was delayed for another week due to Lu Yuan's cold.

Lu Yuan was defeated by the old man Hu Wei's stubbornness.

He thought that when the old man saw that he had a cold, he would symbolically pull him over to have a talk, or give him a lecture first...

But that is not the case at all.

Hu Wei takes art very seriously. If there is something wrong in his mind, he will not give a lecture...

He felt that this was a responsible behavior, and he hoped to give students a very good lecture experience.

Such a person...

Lu Yuan admired him from the bottom of his heart but also felt very annoyed.

But no matter what, Lu Yuan was still rushed to Yenching University, and was speechless when he saw his seat at the lecture.

Well, it’s right next to Professor Hu Wei, the most conspicuous place that can be captured by all kinds of cameras.

Now he couldn’t yawn even if he wanted to.

Well, in such a serious occasion, why don’t you try yawning?

Compared to the first time he went on stage, Lu Yuan felt better.

Despite this, Lu Yuan was still a little panicked.

Nonsense, how could he not be panicked when there was nothing in his stomach?

I hope that the "Elective Knowledge of Folk Music" that I learned while staying in the hotel will come in handy.

I don't seek to achieve anything, just avoid making a fool of myself.

etc!

What do those nouns mean?

What isism, what is modernity, what...

These things...

Lu Yuan really doesn’t understand.

and……

The audience at this lecture seems to be...

Aren’t they ordinary people?

Lu Yuan swallowed and looked at the manuscript that he had spent several days preparing.

The more I look, the more confused I become.
