Saying that "Director Shen has gone crazy" doesn't mean he's actually crazy, but rather that after being provoked, his subsequent actions were quite insane.
Because he actually posted a very long post on his Weibo account, over a thousand words long.
The gist of the content is that...
You viewers who don't watch his movies but watch that kid Xu Lu's movies are truly blind and have such low taste.
This caused an uproar across the internet!
Those who went to see his movies originally felt that this old guy was not ambitious at all, and that he was still using the same old tricks after all these years, which made him seem boring.
I never expected that this old guy would have the audacity to say that not watching his movies means you're blind. That's just too damn arrogant!
People only go to see the movies because Director Xu's films are good. You, old man, make terrible films, yet you blame the audience for being blind. What kind of robber logic is that?
The audience is the consumer!
If you're a director and you're telling the audience how to behave, do you think they'll tolerate you?
So it didn't take long for the comment section of Director Shen's Weibo post to be flooded with comments.
The audience members spoke freely:
"Holy crap, I never expected Director Shen to say something so mindless."
"That's right, this old guy's own film is garbage, yet he says we're blind for not watching it, damn it."
"My God, this is the funniest joke I've heard all year."
A director whose films don't do well at the box office doesn't reflect on his own performance, but instead blames the audience. Hahaha!
"What kind of good movies can someone like this make? There was no comparison before, but now that there is a comparison, his true colors are revealed."
...
"This man surnamed Shen is truly a 'warrior' for daring to challenge the vast ocean of the people. I admire him."
"The old man must have gone mad from the box office success; otherwise, would a normal person say something like that?"
"It has to be said that the diversity of species is very clearly reflected in this director, and I have witnessed it firsthand."
"This guy's character is terrible. I suggest we just ban his movie and see if he can still be so arrogant..."
...
"I was originally planning to buy him a movie ticket out of nostalgia, but now I've saved myself the trouble."
"Don't pay for nostalgia. Why not go see Director Xu's movies? They're much better than this old guy's."
"I highly recommend watching Director Xu's 'You Are the Apple of My Eye'. It's my favorite youth campus drama. The actress is so beautiful."
"I really regret it. I actually gave this guy surnamed Chen a movie ticket in the first place. By the way, can I get a refund?"
...
After Shen Shanchuan posted this update, it quickly became a trending topic as more and more people commented.
Then, more people joined in criticizing Director Shen.
In a sense, although Director Shen's film was not good, it still attracted the attention of countless people.
Unfortunately, once this incident is over, his reputation will likely be completely ruined.
In fact, Director Shen himself realized something was wrong a few hours after posting the update.
However, just as he hurriedly ran to delete the post, praying that not many people would notice,
But he found that his rant had not only gone viral, but had also trended on social media and been shared by countless people.
Upon seeing this scene, Shen Shanchuan felt a wave of dizziness and almost fainted on the spot.
"What a disaster! It's all over, it's all over! I'm completely finished this time."
Shen Shanchuan murmured to himself.
Soon, he realized who was responsible for his current predicament, and hatred welled up on his face:
"It's all that damned Xu Lu's fault, it's all that kid's fault!"
If it weren't for that kid, how could my box office have flopped? And if it hadn't flopped, I wouldn't have been able to…”
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. After a while, Shen Shanchuan was so angry that he started pounding his chest and stamping his feet.
Because he realized that no matter how much he hated that kid surnamed Xu, there was nothing he could do about it.
The other party has two blockbuster movies and is living a very comfortable life right now.
On the other hand, his own film flopped at the box office, his reputation will be damaged, and his future is 'limitless'.
...
In the following period, the box office of "You Are the Apple of My Eye" and "My Old Classmate" steadily increased.
As for Director Shen's "Promise of the Stars", it was taken down three days later because it angered the public.
However, this outcome might still be the best one for Shen Shanchuan.
Because the popularity of a movie will decrease after it is taken off the shelves.
Then, there might not be as many people criticizing him as there are now.
That is indeed the case.
The discussion among netizens has now largely shifted to the two films produced by Daxu Culture.
Through these two films, people have reached some consensus:
"'Those Years' gave us a piece of advice: dating the person sitting in front of or behind you is very unreliable."
"Our deskmate also gave us a piece of advice: it's not very reliable for deskmates to date."
"So here's the question: should I date someone from the next class? Experienced people, please share your thoughts..."
"Look further ahead, you can look not only at students in the next class, but also at students in the next department, and even students from the next school."
...
"After watching the two movies, I came to a surprising conclusion."
So only good-looking people deserve to have youth.
"Yes, for those of us with average looks, we don't have a youth anymore, only university..."
