Chapter 603: It's all about interests, no one is wronged (asking for monthly votes)
"I had not watched the web series The Beginning before I received the invitation from Mr. Yu, because I had long given up hope for domestic web series. But since I was invited to the celebration banquet, I had to watch the web series first. After watching it, some changes occurred to me. I think..."
Chen Feng praised "The Beginning" a lot, which made many people feel a little confused.
What is happening? ?
Could it be that Chen Feng has changed his personality?
Because Chen Feng has always been relatively aloof. It’s not quite right to say that he is aloof. It should be said that Chen Feng never promotes himself just because of some so-called friendship.
Of course, this level of prestige was before "The Second Under Heaven".
Ever since the release of the movie "The Second Under Heaven", Chen Feng's image has completely disappeared.
What else is there? ?
Many people think that Chen Feng’s case is a typical example of his status collapse, just like some actors. They were originally thought to be so-called movie stars with a lot of status, but later when he was filming various TV series, some people thought he was lowering his status. Then, he flopped, flopped, and flopped again. Then, all his status was gone.
In the past two years, Yu Xiaoshu has been talking about this matter.
At the beginning, when he was filming the movie, many people felt that there was a problem with converting a TV series into a movie, because TV series and movies are completely different. When everyone could not be said to be questioning, but just thought that movies are nobler than TV series, Yu Xiaoshu directly stated that movies and TV series are the same.
Not only did Yu Xiaoshu express this opinion, he even did it.
He used TV actors to star in movies one by one, and then everyone naturally knew about it.
We cannot say that every movie is a huge hit, we can only say that every one of them is creating records and miracles.
This can be regarded as tearing off the high-end outer layer of the film industry.
But Yu Xiaoshu took the initiative to tear off the outer coat of the film industry, but Chen Feng tore off the outer coat himself.
The style no longer exists.
He called the audience trash and the audience was also dissatisfied with him.
Not to mention some other subsequent operations.
But.
No one expected that Chen Feng would directly express his gratitude for "The Beginning" at today's "The Beginning" celebration banquet. On the one hand, he actually said that he was wrong before.
Apologize.
"My previous understanding was actually wrong. Teacher Yu and I had a discussion about the so-called audience garbage theory. At that time, I thought that it was because some audiences were not picky about food that there were some bad movies, some extremely bad movies. But now after discovering the web series "The Beginning", I think that no matter what time, as practitioners, we have a greater responsibility. In this regard, we really can't blame the audience..."
Chen Feng said in a rather calm tone: "It just so happens that I thought I would take advantage of today's live broadcast to apologize to the fans who like me and those who have caused you some difficulties before. I hope you can forgive me, and my next drama will definitely not disappoint you."
…
Chen Feng apologized.
The entire live broadcast room was filled with crazy screen refreshes.
Many people don’t understand.
What is this situation? ?
It's even a bit like something I've never seen before.
You have to know that Chen Feng will never apologize. Not only will he never apologize, but no matter what movie he is shooting, you can never ask him to make any changes.
What is the result? ?
Today I actually saw Chen Feng apologize.
He not only apologized for calling the audience rubbish, he also seemed to think that the movie "The Second Under Heaven" that he had filmed was indeed not very good, which was an admission of his own failure.
This is something that many people did not expect.
Everyone feels devastated to see Chen Feng making bad movies in his lifetime.
Then, everyone was not surprised to see that although Chen Feng made a bad movie, he did not think he was wrong and even mocked the audience.
Because Chen Feng has always been this kind of person.
Following closely.
Several months later, Chen Feng actually apologized directly to the audience.
The audience was surprised by this.
have a look.
This is a little bit of the idea that good people and bad people are often completely different.
If you are a good person and you do a hundred good things but one bad thing, people will be disappointed in you.
If you are a bad person and you do a hundred bad things but do one good thing, then everyone will think that you have turned over a new leaf.
Obviously, Chen Feng is like this. If other apologies were made, it would be because they dared to carry out fraudulent publicity for the movie and even dared to mock the audience. You have to know that the audience is your bread and butter. If a director dared to do this, not to mention being abandoned by the audience, I'm afraid no one in the industry would dare to use them.
But Chen Feng is different.
Ever since Chen Feng became a director, he has always been a maverick. More importantly, the films he made have always been quite influential. Many times, the box office may not be very high, but the influence is huge.
He is influential and knows how to train actors. In the end, many people are proud to watch Chen Feng's movies, and Chen Feng's movies automatically have a certain level of quality.
It is conceivable that when Chen Feng fraudulently promoted the movie "The Second Under Heaven", the idols in many people's minds collapsed.
Sometimes, that's just how it is.
The collapse of an idol is one thing, but if your idol suddenly becomes approachable from being aloof, then you will definitely think that your idol has admitted his mistakes and corrected them.
Obviously, this is the situation of Chen Feng's fans now.
In the live broadcast room, since everything was about the audience of "The Beginning" and the like, there wasn't too much discussion, but there was still some slight screen flooding.
After all, this is Chen Feng, the great director Chen.
Chen Feng apologized, and this topic also topped the hot search list.
In many of Chen Feng’s fan clubs, everyone felt relieved by Chen Feng’s apology.
"I believe in Director Chen's ability. He must have been forced to make a bad movie before because of the capital."
"Yes, Director Chen's ability is beyond doubt. More importantly, he put aside his condescending attitude and even apologized proactively. It is obvious that he is ready to interact with fans and understand the market."
"That's right. I think Director Chen's next movie will definitely be a big hit. I hope Director Chen and Yu Xiaoshu can have another good chat. After all, Yu Xiaoshu is quite strong in controlling the market."
…
Take a look.
Even though Chen Feng promoted "The Second Under Heaven" in a fraudulent manner, and even though Chen Feng later called the audience rubbish, Chen Feng's fans were still willing to believe him.
That's what movie fans are.
This is the most loyal fan.
No matter what, Chen Feng has so many classic works. How could it be possible that some movie fans would completely give up on him just because of one of his works?
We have said before that what Chen Feng lost was his basic base, his passers-by basic base.
No matter what he did before, as soon as a movie was released, everyone thought that his movie must be good and everyone went to watch it just for his reputation.
Well, that's hardly something money can buy.
Why, regardless of how low the first-day screening rate of Chen Feng’s films was in the past, his films were able to make a comeback most of the time?
It's very simple. Chen Feng relies on his own reputation. Because of his reputation, his attendance rate on the first day was very high. Also, because his movie is good, if the attendance rate on the first day is high, as word of mouth ferments, his movie's screenings will naturally increase, and the box office will naturally gradually climb.
Speak one thing at a time.
This is often a virtuous cycle.
But now, Chen Feng has broken this virtuous cycle with his own hands.
Then, Chen Feng’s next work will be crucial.
The audience knows this, movie fans know this, the industry knows this, and of course Chen Feng knows this too.
Why did he come after receiving Yu Xiaoshu's invitation?
Don’t you just want to chat with Yu Xiaoshu?
It’s so cool that you can eat it.
But if your dignity collapses, then you're really finished.
Chen Feng’s next movie must be a hit and must not fail, so he is under a lot of pressure.
Many people think that Chen Feng does not care about the box office when filming, and even think that Chen Feng can film as he pleases.
How is it possible??
In this world, nothing can be done as you please.
That was the case when we were filming "The Second Under Heaven".
At that time, Chen Feng himself was indeed a little bit blindly confident. Because he was too blindly confident, he basically let the capital inject some profits into it.
And then, it failed.
This failure can be considered a wake-up call for Chen Feng.
There is no such thing as a single-minded audience. The audience always just watches your work.
If your work is good, the audience will support you.
If your work is not good, the audience will definitely give up on you.
Therefore, never take the credit for the success of a work on yourself, thinking that it is all because of you and that the audience likes you.
The audience is not the fans, not the fan circle, not the kind of mindless audience who will support the idols no matter what they do.
This is Chen Feng’s reflection.
Come to think of it, Chen Feng really feels that he has become a little arrogant recently, and also feels a little ridiculous.
Who could have thought of that??
I only understand this at this age.
Things were a little too smooth in the past.
But it’s not too late to understand now.
For this reason, when attending the celebration banquet of "The Beginning" today, Chen Feng was also ready to say sorry to his fans and audiences who like him during the interview session.
"I let you down once, but please believe me, I won't let you down a second time."
Chen Feng's words were just enough to make the point.
After all, he has been interviewed on the red carpet for quite a long time. Although no one will chase him away because of his status, he still has to be self-conscious.
There was basically no big news in the following live red carpet broadcast.
It's just the same old thing.
The female artists are wearing more revealing clothes than each other, and some bold female artists are following the example of Europe and the United States and wearing even more revealing clothes.
Of course, the live broadcast room is divided into three factions regarding these outfits.
One group thinks that wearing this kind of clothes is no different from wearing nothing at all for some female artists? ? This is simply teaching children bad habits.
One group thinks it doesn’t matter, just be free to wear whatever you want.
One group said: "They are all female Bodhisattvas."
In short, the live broadcast room was very lively.
As for the celebration banquet, there is no need to mention it.
Yu Xiaoshu was socializing.
He had had interactions with most of the screenwriters who came, and some were even top screenwriters, so it was natural for him to have a chat with them.
In any case, these screenwriters and directors came here because they received Yu Xiaoshu's invitation.
Let me put it this way.
If the invitations were sent out by people from Xiaoma Entertainment, then these top screenwriters would not have been able to come.
As for the director, the same goes for that.
Some directors basically have a hard time getting good scripts, just like Chen Feng, who is actually in need of a good script recently.
Just think about it.
Even top directors like Chen Feng basically lack good scripts, let alone other directors.
Without mentioning other people, Guo Han directly pulled Yu Xiaoshu aside and said with a smile: "Xiaoshu, given our relationship, you must give me a good script in the second half of the year. My next movie must not flop. Not only must it not flop, but the box office of my next movie does not need to be too high, as long as it remains above 1 billion."
Yu Xiaoshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother Guo, the box office has to remain above 1 billion, isn't that too much to ask?"
"Of course not, Xiaoshu, take a look at the box office of your previous movies, are there any that are less than 1 billion?"
Guo Han chuckled and said, "Compared to your movie, this is the minimum requirement."
Okay.
Yu Xiaoshu felt that Guo Han's shameless spirit was completely different from his previous impression of Guo Han.
Of course, there is a movie script.
Moreover, Yu Xiaoshu felt that with Guo Han's ability, he should be able to film it.
But as for the script, Yu Xiaoshu hasn't started writing it yet.
For this reason, he said to Guo Han: "Okay, but you don't know if you can wait in time."
"I know it takes time to write the script, don't worry, I can wait."
When Guo Han heard what Yu Xiaoshu said, he showed a look of surprise: "It's been fine for several months."
Seeing Guo Han's expectant expression, Yu Xiaoshu felt that he should say something in advance: "Brother Guo, we have known each other for so many years after all, and I don't want to lie to you. I don't have 100% confidence in this script, so you have to think carefully about whether you want to use it or not. If it fails, don't blame me, or we won't even be friends anymore."
"Hahaha, Xiaoshu, you underestimated your brother Guo."
Guo Han laughed out loud: "It's not like I haven't failed before. If I'm going to turn against you just because the movie I made with your script failed, then what kind of person would I be?"
"Okay, I feel relieved with your words, Brother Guo."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently, then asked, "What's going on with Director Zhou recently?"
When Guo Han heard Yu Xiaoshu mention Zhou Ming, he quickly said, "Xiaoshu, I was just about to talk to you about this. Old Zhou has not been doing well recently..."
