Driven by money, a post titled "Iron Man crew faces biggest crisis, no one to take on post-production special effects..." quickly went viral.
In fact, it didn't cost much money.
Because recently, the words 'Iron Man' have generated a lot of buzz.
Netizens are also very interested in news related to the Iron Man movie crew.
Sure enough, the topic had barely trended on social media when the comments section was already buzzing with discussion:
"Really? Da Xu Culture isn't short of money, is it? Didn't they have anyone make the special effects for their Iron Man movie?"
"It's not that no one is willing to do it for them. The trending topic says that they are paying too little money, and the people are unhappy about it."
"That's really inappropriate. After all, science fiction is all about special effects, and I don't want to watch something that looks cheap..."
"Yes, if the special effects are too bad, the quality of the movie will drop significantly."
...
"No way, Daxu Culture is so rich, yet they're unwilling to spend a little more money on special effects. That's too stingy."
"This is a bit troublesome. It would be easier if it were other types of movies."
However, without special effects, the effects in science fiction films are completely unattainable.
"Although the headline of this trending topic is a bit exaggerated, it makes some sense. We can't skimp on the special effects."
"Hopefully, Daxu Culture can maintain the quality of this Iron Man production; otherwise, it's easy for their reputation to collapse."
...
"Hmm, something feels off. Why hasn't DaXu Culture done any public relations work?"
"Yes, it's trending on social media now, so the impact is quite bad. Isn't Da Xu going to make a statement?"
"I heard that the special effects service provider that previously collaborated with Daxu Culture was called 'Feilongxian Special Effects Studio,' and the quality was quite good."
Unfortunately, because Daxu Culture offered too low a price, Feilongxian Studio is now struggling to survive, which is why this happened.
"That's something DaXu Culture shouldn't have done. Without their special effects studio, where would their special effects come from?"
"Surely they've made a lot of money from these movies, so why are they so stingy with even a little bit of money spent on special effects?"
...
Amidst a mix of true and false comments, this trending topic continues to gain traction and attract even more attention.
But unexpectedly...
Netizens discovered that one of the main parties involved in the trending topic, Daxu Culture, had not responded at all.
On the contrary, someone from 'Flying Dragon Immortal Studio' gave an interview.
During the interview, a special effects artist looked dejected as he talked about how badly his studio was doing, how the domestic special effects industry was being exploited by capitalists, and how the film and television companies should be blamed for the cheap special effects.
...
The reason why Daxu Culture hasn't reacted is not because they're unaware of the matter.
In fact, Feng Xiaoxia reported it to Xu Lu immediately.
However, our CEO Xu didn't take it seriously at all.
Many people within the company, including Feng Xiaoxia, have suggested that we should give a direct response.
To avoid any negative impact on the upcoming promotion of 'Iron Man', Xu Lu directly refused, and no one else dared to ask further.
But Dilraba asked a question privately:
"Xu Lu, what exactly are you planning to do? Just leave that trending topic hanging there without responding?"
Xu Lu smiled and said:
"What's there to respond to? Besides, we don't actually have any special effects studios we're working with right now. What they said is true."
That's not what I meant!
Dilraba rolled her eyes in annoyance and said:
"This trending topic looks suspicious; it's obviously something that special effects studio called Feilongxian did."
"Your DaXu Culture could have simply issued a statement saying that the cooperation was terminated because the other party suddenly raised prices."
"And then?" Xu Lu suddenly asked.
"And then...and then what?" Dilraba was stunned.
Xu Lu then explained:
"I also know that this is all the work of that Flying Dragon Immortal, and that so-called Special Effects Alliance might even be targeting Daxu Culture alone."
So what's the point of issuing a statement now? Unless you can find a solution to the problem, otherwise…
Reba came to her senses and said with some worry:
"Yes, even if we don't choose Feilongxian Studio, Daxu Culture still needs to hire a special effects studio."
"Oh dear, this is troublesome! Xu Lu, have you thought of a good idea?"
Xu Lu smiled and said:
"Of course I've thought of a solution, otherwise why do you think I'm so calm?"
"Huh? You've already come up with a solution? What solution?" Dilraba asked curiously.
Xu Lu, however, kept everyone in suspense and said:
"I can't say for now, but you don't need to worry."
"Tch! I don't want to know if you won't tell me!"
Dilraba retorted angrily, then turned and ran away.
Meanwhile, Xu Lu had just suppressed Reba's curiosity.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Yang, whom I hadn't contacted for a while, called and immediately asked:
"Xu Lu, have you offended someone lately?"
Xu Lu, however, understood perfectly what Mr. Yang meant by that seemingly inexplicable remark, and replied:
"Mr. Yang, you're not here to ask about the trending topics too, are you?"
"Yeah, this trending topic is obviously being manipulated behind the scenes. By the way, why doesn't your Daxu Culture do any crisis management?"
"I asked curiously," Mr. Yang asked.
Xu Lu laughed and said, "What kind of crisis is this? There's no need for public relations at all. Da Xu Culture can't be affected by just one or two trending topics."
As for whether I've offended anyone, it's nothing more than a conflict of interest. Some people are envious of Daxu Culture's current earning power, so they want a piece of the pie. I'd like to see if they have the ability.
Having worked in the industry for many years, Boss Yang naturally knew these things. After thinking for a moment, she said:
"Xu Lu, since the other party dares to make such a move, it means they have some trump cards up their sleeve. You'd better be careful, lest you end up getting caught off guard."
"Understood!" Xu Lu nodded with a smile in response to the other party's kind reminder.
...
Meanwhile, industry insiders have also expressed their opinions and views on this matter:
"Although Daxu Culture has been very strong in the past year, its foundation is still shallow. This time, it was manipulated by someone."
I heard that those special effects companies formed some kind of special effects alliance, which is clearly aimed at Daxu Culture..."
"Yes, I heard that the price of the Flying Dragon Immortal special effects has almost doubled, and they even want a share of the box office revenue."
"Daxu Culture's films are doing so well right now, how could they possibly offer a share of the profits? That's why things got so tense."
"This is going to be interesting. I wonder how Daxu Culture will respond to these special effects studios' open schemes."
Their sci-fi film definitely can't function without special effects, but if they actually agree to that request, it would be a huge loss for them.
