"Are you going to the movies tomorrow?" In Yi Yang Entertainment's new office building, after get off work, everyone waved the movie tickets given by the company in their hands and asked their colleagues who were on good terms with them with a smile.
My colleague hummed, as if thinking it over carefully, before saying, "Actually, I've never really liked war movies. They're just full of gunfire, bang, bang, bang, it gives me a headache. But since you invited me, I have to go no matter what."
The other person smiled, then looked at his colleague and couldn't help but teasing him, "What do you mean? Do you think the war films our CEO Zhou shoots are any different from ordinary films?"
"I was just kidding!" My colleague immediately became serious and said solemnly, "Don't try to lead me on! But seriously, this is the first time I've seen a movie like this in a cinema!"
"Anyway, I saw the trailer, and there were a lot of intense action scenes, which was really exciting. If you ask me, the focus of this movie is definitely not on war, but on an action-packed spy film! I think this movie will definitely do well at the box office!"
When the employees in the company had agreed to go to the premiere of "Wolf Warrior" tomorrow, the two protagonists were sitting in front of Zhou Yiyang, sitting upright, and behaved like two obedient primary school students.
Zhou Yiyang glanced at them and said with a smile, "So, you should be quite satisfied with your pre-sale results this time, right?"
Luo Chen glanced at Ling Hu, then gently pushed Ling Hu's shoulder with his hand.
This action seemed to make Ling Hu speak first, and Ling Hu also said softly:
"Mr. Zhou, I feel like judging by the online public opinion, many people came to see our movie just because of you."
"This only proves that, in the eyes of the audience, you two aren't the kind of actors who can carry an entire movie. But there's no need to be too nervous. As long as you make it into the theaters, you've succeeded."
Zhou Yiyang looked at the two of them and continued, "I called you here today because I wanted to mention something."
The two of them immediately stopped talking and looked at Zhou Yiyang quietly, as if wanting to know what he was going to say next.
"What I want to tell you," Zhou Yiyang paused before continuing, "is that if your movie does well at the box office, there will probably be some people deliberately trying to stir up trouble because of the subject matter. And all you have to do is ignore those people."
He casually played with the pen in his hand and said softly, "This shouldn't be difficult for you, right? Of course, Lao Bai actually suggested that I just put away your phones for the time being."
Hearing this, Luo Chen and Ling Hu's expressions changed obviously.
Confiscating cell phones sounds like something only elementary school students would experience.
Zhou Yiyang smiled and continued:
"Of course, I also know that this is only a temporary solution, not a fundamental solution. Luo Chen, I'm still confident in your attitude. But Ling Hu, if you saw a lot of comments online criticizing you, could you control your emotions?"
When asked this by Zhou Yiyang, Ling Hu looked a little embarrassed.
He touched his nose and shook his head helplessly. "If it was groundless criticism, I definitely wouldn't tolerate it. I'd just fight them to the bitter end. But I don't know. This mentality isn't good."
At this time, Luo Chen immediately said, "Brother Yang, don't worry about me. I'm here to keep an eye on Ling Hu. If he dares to use the big surfing, I will stop him immediately."
How could Zhou Yiyang, such a smart man, not have heard the hidden meaning in Luo Chen's words? He smiled and said, "Well, that's good. You know how to open a second account. Then you'd better learn from Tang Yue. Her dozens of second accounts have never been exposed."
After saying this, Zhou Yiyang gave them another reassurance:
"Regardless of the reputation, the cinema has assured me that the schedule for the first three days of the film will not be reduced. So you don't have to worry about the cinema cutting the schedule the next day."
However, when Luo Chen heard this, his expression became a little strange. He glanced at Zhou Yiyang before continuing:
"Brother Yang, isn't it a bit unkind of us to do this? It's like the dragon slayer becoming the dragon himself."
"Oh," Zhou Yiyang laughed and said cheerfully, "I didn't expect you to know so much. As for what you said about the dragon slayer becoming the dragon, there's nothing we can do about it. Our positions are different now. For you and for myself, I have to fight for various rights and interests."
"Whether it becomes a dragon or not depends on whether our movie can live up to the hype. As long as it lives up to the reputation, it'll be a good thing for the theaters, right?"
Ling Hu nodded. "That's right, just like everyone used to say marketing was bad. But look at Moonlight Girls. They do a lot of marketing, but no one ever criticizes them. Why? Because Moonlight Girls' abilities match their marketing."
"Then let me wish our movie a big hit at the box office tomorrow!" Zhou Yiyang raised his glass and said with a smile.
His ambition does not stop there. His movies have already been successful in the National Day and Spring Festival period.
The previously booming summer season seems to be losing momentum.
What Zhou Yiyang needs to do now is to let everyone see how great the potential of the summer movie season is.
The idea of winning the summer box office with a billion-dollar box office is probably going to become history.
As of midnight, the pre-sale box office of "Wolf Warrior" successfully exceeded 200 million yuan, and exceeded 100 million yuan on the first day alone.
It can be said that compared to many art films, this pre-sale result exceeds their total box office.
Guan Fei, lying on the bed with a big belly, was browsing various comments on the Internet in a good mood.
For ordinary netizens, what they discuss most is how to buy tickets at the best price.
For fans, they are definitely looking forward to Luo Chen and Ling Hu becoming top-tier stars with this movie.
However, most film critics are critical:
"This is the power of fan movies. Pre-sales easily exceeded 100 million. Zhou Yiyang will teach you how to make money from movies!"
"Overwhelming marketing, elusive advertising! Does 'Wolf Warrior,' disguised as a war film, live up to its reputation?"
"The era of directors has arrived. If a movie wants to be popular, just put Zhou Yiyang's name on it. This is the tragedy of Chinese cinema!"
"The summer movie season may be a disappointment. A war film has taken over the screening schedule, preventing students from seeing the movies they wanted to see. This is heartbreaking for colleagues!"
Guan Fei wasn't surprised that so many people were skeptical. With pre-sale results like this, it would be strange if the industry wasn't jealous.
But Guan Fei was not afraid, she still believed in Zhou Yiyang's level.
A person with a clear conscience fears no slander!
