Chapter 249: Huge Social Death Scene
The news released last night has become a hot search this morning.
After experiencing several similar incidents, Yang Ruoqian no longer finds it strange that any incident or news about his company would become a hot topic.
All sufferings become ordinary in the hardships of life.
As Yang Ruoqian walked towards the elevator, he browsed various information about his movie on his mobile phone.
Although this kind of publicity event will bring significant publicity advantages to Kuiguang Group at first glance, it is likely to make the movie gain huge popularity before it is released...
But after all, there is the precedent of "Fortress of Devil May Cry", so I believe that the audience will not be too excited and will not open champagne before the filming of the movie even starts.
It is true that the Kuiguang Group has never failed since it entered the entertainment industry, but in terms of quantity, the Kuiguang Group has only three or four real projects.
A good start with three or four projects being successful in quick succession is certainly commendable, but it is not enough to prove that all future projects of Kuiguang Group will be so successful.
Moreover, looking at all the projects of Kuiguang Group, they can basically be regarded as "risky moves".
"Dragon Son-in-Law", "The Boys" and "Titanic 2" are all attempts to transcend traditional themes.
I’m always winning, but the winning is more abstract and thrilling - especially at the beginning of the project.
What if, in the next project, the Kuiguang Group rebounds from the top? What if, if we cooperate with them now, we become the sucker who takes over at a high price? Therefore, many people are still in a state of mind of wanting to follow up with the Kuiguang Group, but are afraid of losing all their money.
What's more, the science fiction theme in the domestic market is almost blank, and everyone's discussion can only revolve around stereotypes.
"Ah, is Kuiguang Group also going to go straight for science fiction?"
"How much money did "The Black Robe Inspection Team" make them? Do they have enough funds?"
"Unless they are planning to make another bad movie like Titanic 2, I don't think the cost of filming it will be too low."
"That's definitely not the case. Haven't you noticed yet? If it's a normal movie, the Kuiguang Group will personally take action. If it's a weird movie, they will let their Shelter Company distribute it."
"Yes, normal movies and funny movies should belong to two completely different departments in their group, with almost no overlap..."
"So, Kuiguang Group is going to make a real hard science fiction movie this time? Then it comes back to the old question, do they have enough funds? Don't let the cost problem make it a mess!"
"Indeed, I personally feel that hard science fiction focuses more on that indescribable 'future feeling' than other genres. If it is not handled well, it is easy to destroy the sense of immersion."
"Why worry about the funding, brother? We have banks and loans now. It's such a big company, shouldn't it be easy to raise some money?"
"Raising money is definitely not a problem. What if the movie fails? Wouldn't their entire company collapse?"
"This is their business, you don't have to worry about it. What the audience needs to do is to appreciate whether the movie is good or not."
"It's hard to say. Yuefu is pretty powerful, right? They have more directors and actors under their wing, and the scripts are from famous authors, right? But it still failed?"
"I still believe in this company. I haven't missed any of its movies!"
"Haha, I'm not optimistic. Anyone who knows a little bit about science fiction will find it hard to be optimistic."
“…”
Looking at the discussions on the online social platform, Yang Ruoqian nodded slightly - just as he expected, at this stage, although there are a small number of companies and investors who completely believe in Mr. Yang who should not be believed, most people are still taking a bystander attitude.
After all, the movie was just said to start shooting, without even a trailer or any inside information.
It's like a piece of vacant land where a high-rise building is said to be built, but there's not even the shadow of the foundation. It's hard to get people to spend money just based on empty talk and a PPT.
"No, this example doesn't seem very appropriate... Never mind, just let it mean this."
Mr. Yang complained and turned off his phone screen, and the anxious feeling in his heart eased a little.
It has to be said that it is a good thing that the blind trust in Kuiguang Group has not yet spread to the consumer group...
If, because of this wave of publicity, the movie is hyped up before it even starts shooting, that would make people despair.
No…I can’t comfort myself.
As soon as the mentality of taking chances came out, Yang Ruoqian immediately stopped this unsafe behavior.
In the third quarter, we must avoid any accidents! Aren’t there speeches after the awards ceremony? Aren’t there interviews with reporters? We must take this great opportunity to lower the audience’s expectations for “Wandering Blue Planet” and even lower their impression of the film.
After preparing his speech, Yang Ruoqian got into the elevator and walked to the door of the auditorium on the third floor of the hotel.
But who would have thought that the auditorium entrance would be just like the hotel entrance, with the same grand scene of people crowding together.
In order to make the auditorium look less empty and less awkward, Yang Ruoqian specially invited some celebrities and found some agents...
In short, these people were able to fill about 70% of the seats in the auditorium.
However, the current situation of the award ceremony was a little "deviant" from what Mr. Yang had previously envisioned.
Because there were so many people, many people who came here to see the restaurant checked in early and grabbed seats in advance, occupying the seats that were originally reserved.
The VIP seats are fine, as the names of celebrities are placed on the seats, so there won't be people occupying seats that don't belong to them...
The problem is that the ordinary seats that are not VIP seats don’t have names written on them.
Anyone who arrives can have a seat, and it’s first come, first served. Anyone who is late will be unlucky.
Now, with 70% of the seats in the auditorium occupied by guests, it seems that there is not enough space.
The publicity and connections from Chengyu Media would more or less attract some viewers or friendly businesses, plus a post that caused a stir on Weibo...
Even before the award ceremony officially started, the auditorium was already packed except for the VIP seats.
Some of the shills who were planning to report and punch in for work were staring at each other in bewilderment outside the auditorium, mixing with the real audience who really wanted to go into the auditorium to see the show, which looked extremely funny.
The shills, who were wearing expensive clothes and could neither enter nor leave, felt like crying but had no tears.
No, brother, since there are so many people attending your crappy award ceremony, why bother asking for favors?
It's not some internet-famous milk tea check-in spot that needs a long queue to create an atmosphere! What's the point of hiring so many people! Do you have too much money to spend? Although you can hire such a person for a whole day at a very low price by just going to the daily talent market, the number is huge. In order to maintain the pomp of the ceremony, Yang Ruoqian even gave them some extra money to make sure they looked good.
The clothes on her body are also very expensive.
So much money, for what? Just to make them stand outside the auditorium and not be able to enter?
Even if you want to invite door gods, you don't need to invite so many! Yang Ruoqian looked at the huge crowds of people and sighed helplessly. He felt that no matter what he did, there would always be unexpected things that would make people laugh or cry.
"Hello... uh, is anyone here? Who is in charge here?"
Just as Yang Ruoqian was about to squeeze into the auditorium, a not-so-obvious voice came from behind him. The voice was soft and was quickly swallowed up in the noisy place.
But Yang Ruoqian was reminded by this voice.
Oh yes!
As the organizer of the event, Yang Ruoqian didn't seem to have arranged enough staff to be in charge of the scene! This was not because he was negligent - after all, in his imagination, all the people who came to the award ceremony were found by himself, and what to do before and after entering the venue had already been explained clearly.
Only one or two on-site staff are needed to arrange and coordinate, and the entire auditorium can be kept in good order.
Hiring more staff would indeed increase expenses, but Yang Ruoqian's energy at the time was focused on how to make the award ceremony more grand, and he did not explain such minor details in detail.
As the real top person in charge, looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Mr. Yang, who has a hard life, sighed, turned around and looked at the girl who spoke, and said, "I should be considered as one, what can I do for you?"
The girl is not tall, quiet and pretty. She is wearing fashionable clothes and trendy accessories, and has a very good temperament.
"Hello, Mr. Yang. I'm here to receive the award... I'm just having trouble squeezing into the auditorium. I'm so sorry!"
Yang Ruoqian looked at the girl and was stunned: "Are you the user who won the prize?"
He was puzzled at this time, not because he was surprised that the winner could recognize him - he could accurately find the two bosses who played guest roles in those brief clips in the movie, so how could he not recognize them in real life? Unlike celebrities, Yang Ruoqian did not have any idol baggage, and did not wear heavy makeup or photo editing when filming.
There is no need to have two images online and offline.
But... he vaguely remembered that the ID that won the award was called "Get up and look at beauties to reward yourself", and there was an abstract user with a fat man with chest hair on his head? In Mr. Yang's impression, there was an 80% chance that this user was a big guy who picked his feet.
In order for the prizes to be actually given out, Kuiguang Group, as the organizer of the event, will of course verify the user's personal information.
But such small matters are usually left to the subordinates to complete.
Yang Ruoqian's mind was full of how to spend the money and how to make the award ceremony bigger. The situation of a winner had almost nothing to do with him.
So when he saw this ID, he just smiled and left the specific matters to his subordinates.
But now, such a soft-spoken, pretty, and quiet girl actually said that she was the winner? !
Is this the huge gap between online dating and dating in person? Yang Ruoqian was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Excuse me, are you the user with the ID 'Get up and see beautiful women to reward yourself'?"
"Get up and look at the beauties to reward yourself." When the lady heard this name, she covered her face with her palms and said in a pleading voice: "Boss Yang, please don't mention this ID, okay? I'm socially dead now!"
"My roommates all know my ID!"
God knows how much horrible “Internet violence” Yu Jingyu suffered after being announced as the winner.
Even though no one knows what she looks like offline, this ID alone is enough to make a lot of netizens laugh.
For Yu Jingyu, this was not an award at all, it was simply an execution scene.
If the prize wasn't a bit big, she really didn't want to attend the event to embarrass this person.
Originally, she was just participating in this event for fun - "The Boys" is so popular and the prizes are so good, so there must be a lot of people participating in the event.
Besides, she has no background and doesn't know any big shots, so she has to guess the guest roles based on her intuition, which is just blind guessing.
I never thought I could win the award!
As a top loser who couldn't even win another bottle, who would have thought that my luck would really turn around this time!
So Miss Yu Jingyu's shameful ID was made public.
The "enthusiastic netizen" who used this ID to run rampant on the Internet and major social media platforms was unexpectedly forced to be exposed and socially dead because of a ridiculous activity.
"Oh oh oh... sorry, sorry." Yang Ruoqian always kept in mind his identity as a big boss and tried hard to hold back the urge to burst out laughing. "What's your name?"
Yu Jingyu looked resentful: "My name is Yu Jingyu..."
"Okay, come in with me. There's a special seat for you." Yang Ruoqian nodded. "It's in the front row, in the middle VIP seat. Your online name is written on it."
In order to protect the winners' privacy information and to be more open and transparent... the event organizers decided to use the winners' online names instead of their real names on site.
Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqian observed a three-second moment of silence for the girl in his heart.
To be able to successfully hold an award ceremony that satisfies the award presenters, winners, onlookers and organizers does require some talent.
Yu Jingyu: "...Can you change it?"
"It seems it's too late." Yang Ruoqian looked at the time and replied.
“…”
…
After seven or eight minutes, almost everyone was seated and the award ceremony officially began.
"First of all, I would like to thank Kuiguang Group, Mr. Yang, and…"
“Our company is a…”
"Be positive, work hard..."
"Lively and cheerful, enthusiastic and active..."
“…”
The host held a thick speech book in her hands, and after a series of long and hypnotic nonsense that made her mouth dry, she finally turned to the last page.
"Next, let's warmly welcome the protagonist of this event, Ms. 'Get up and look at the beauties and reward yourself' to the stage to receive the award!"
I can only say that, as expected of a professional host, he did not laugh when reading this kind of thing.
"Let's applaud her!"
