Chapter 46



When Shengquan 10g was surfing the Internet, he saw the topic #铁血老板出房包场修者#.

It’s obvious that this trending search was bought, but the effect is very good.

Among the movies currently released, "The Cultivator" and "The Boss" are the most popular.

Although "The Cultivator" was far ahead of the others, "The Boss" with an all-star cast also achieved good box office and discussion.

While anyone with a discerning eye can see that the two are in a competitive relationship, the "Iron-Blooded Boss" side, which is firmly suppressed by "The Cultivator", actually openly flatters its rival.

In the interview video, a representative from Bluebird Film and Television Culture Media, the producer of "Iron Boss", responded with a smile:

"It was a direct order from our chairman. She was on a business trip abroad and happened to see The Cultivator released, so she went in to watch it. After watching it, she immediately called back and said it was great. She also asked why we didn't make a work like this."

"Yes, the chairman paid for this out of her own pocket. She said that everyone should watch it carefully and strive to make an excellent movie like "The Cultivator" next time."

"Yes, I saw it too. It was really good. I couldn't bear to leave the cinema... Competitive relationship? Indeed, everyone is in the Spring Festival period. Wouldn't it be unlucky to watch such an excellent work in all aspects at the same time?

No, we don’t think so. Rather than bad luck, it is more like luck because its success can urge us to make better works, make us more humble and more cautious. ”

Xu Man and Lin Aike sat next to her and listened to the whole thing.

Lin Aike has seen enough malicious competition in the film industry, so her first reaction was: "Overpraising?"

"No, they are adjusting the course of future development."

Sheng Quan opened Fetion and sent a message to Gu Zhao: [Take a look at the trending searches. The plan that may involve malicious competition against Bluebird can be cancelled.]

Gu Zhao replied after two minutes: [Understood, I will ask the entertainment marketing department to cooperate with Bluebird in promotion.]

"The Cultivator" is so popular now, it has overshadowed all other movies of the same period and has monopolized such a large limelight. Naturally, Sheng Quan and others will not feel at ease and think that other movies will be willing to be suppressed by them forever.

Malicious competition has never been uncommon in the entertainment industry, so they naturally have to be on guard against it.

However, Bluebird's decision to take a step back was indeed beyond Xingmang's expectations.

But now that Bluebird’s attitude has been revealed, the previous preparations can naturally be put aside for the time being.

After Sheng Quan explained this, Lin Aike suddenly realized: "So they are now praising "The Cultivator" so much, don't they want to be our enemy?"

"That's part of the reason, but the bigger reason why Bluebird chose to book the entire venue is probably a promotional measure."

Even though Sheng Quan is currently learning new knowledge, she can still tell at a glance what she is doing in her old profession: "You can tell from the comments section that although Bluebird lost, they lost honorably and showed their willingness to learn and improve. In addition, their movie is also quite popular, which will attract a wave of passers-by who like them and our movie audience to contribute to the box office."

She gestured to Lin Aike to look at the various comments under this trending search.

[Hahahaha, I am dying of laughter. The cultivator is so good that even the chairman of the rival company has fallen for him.]

[I envy Bluebird employees so much, why haven’t I encountered such good things?]

[I’m a fan of the chairman. Come on! I hope you can make good movies like The Cultivator in the future! ]

[Fanren said that Iron Blood Boss is actually quite good-looking. It’s not your fault that the box office was suppressed by Xiuzhe. It’s just that Xiuzhe is too good-looking.]

[The chairman is so cute 23333. Actually, the iron-blooded boss is not bad either. I am going to watch it with my colleagues tonight.]

[Yes, yes! The Cultivator is so good! Everyone, go and watch it! P.S. The Iron-Blooded Boss is actually pretty good too, Chairman, don’t be discouraged]

Sheng Quan shook his phone and asked with a smile: "Do you think there are any water army in these messages?"

"It's like a slightly popular artist openly announcing that he is a fan of another big star. As long as he is humble and willing to praise the other person, the big star's true fans will naturally have a good impression of him."

Lin Aike suddenly realized: "Then we don't care?"

“Why should I care?”

Sheng Quan was very calm: "We are not at a disadvantage. They pay for the screenings and contribute to the box office. They also praise us to the sky. We benefit from it. It's okay to let them borrow some marketing."

Xu Man is leisurely browsing the comment section while holding a cup of milk tea:

"Indeed, the enthusiasm of cultivators had been declining, but after being praised by Blue Bird, it has started to rise again."

No matter how good a movie is, its popularity will always rise and fall. After all, it is impossible for people to discuss the same thing endlessly every day.

So if the popularity of something continues to rise, it is either because it continues to produce new events that can stimulate passers-by, or someone is deliberately maintaining it behind the scenes.

Someone has spent both money and effort to increase the popularity of "The Cultivator", and Sheng Quan couldn't wait to applaud and welcome him.

Although other people in the industry were surprised by Xie Wanzhao's behavior, they could understand it.

After all, Sheng Quan has always been generous, and Gu Zhao is a well-known ruthless person who can even stab a company in which he holds shares. If Qingniao really fights with them, it is not certain who will win.

Sheng Quan doesn't think so.

In the original version, "The Cultivator" was also released during the Spring Festival, and also achieved great results, overwhelming the entire field.

The book did not mention "The Boss", but as far as she knew, the film "Blue Bird" was prepared for a year and a half, so it was also suppressed in the original text.

But at that time, "The Cultivator" did not have a big sponsor like Sheng Quan to support it, so its development was naturally limited. If other films of the same period wanted to compete maliciously, "The Cultivator" would be powerless to resist.

But it still went on to rake in box office success during the Spring Festival and also shined abroad.

Regardless of whether "The Cultivator" had a backer or not, Xie Wanzhao made the same choice.

When asked by reporters, "What kind of person do you think Xie Wanzhao, the chairman of Blue Bird Film and Television, is?"

Sheng Quan looked at the camera seriously: "She is someone I admire very much. Yes, I admire her."

At Bluebird Films, Xie Wanzhao sat behind his desk, watching the interview footage playing on the computer, and slowly raised the corners of his lips.

That night, when she received a call to dissuade her, her attitude remained firm:

"Okay, stop trying to persuade me. I've already decided that Bluebird will have a new development direction in the future. Come work with me. It's time for this circle to change."

"Why? Well... maybe because I really like a young person, and I hope she can always respect me."

*** Because of the unremitting praise of "Iron-Blooded Boss" in the same period, the popularity of "The Cultivator" has increased again.

The actors in Cultivator were pleasantly surprised by this.

Because Blue Bird’s flattery was all-encompassing, they even sent audition invitations to several actors who had appeared in “The Cultivator”.

The reason used was: "Their acting in the movie Cultivator was so good, so when I thought about finding actors, my first reaction was to invite them."

Perhaps for the netizens who just want to watch the show, this kind of development seems so prosperous and confusing.

But for some actors who were just unknown before the release of "The Cultivator", it was a huge surprise.

"The Cultivator" can be said to be a rare movie in which each character is very outstanding, and even the characters who only have one or two shots are eye-catching.

This also led to the fact that almost all the actors who appeared in this movie, as long as they showed their faces, saw their careers take a rapid leap forward after the movie was released.

And because the actors chosen for "The Cultivator" are almost unknown, this leap becomes even more obvious.

For example, Shen Lu, before participating in "The Cultivator", she was one of those artists who was in an awkward position of being neither popular nor not popular. She was always the one chosen by the script. In order to have a role to play, she would fight for any role that she could get.

.

However, it is still difficult to get a role with a lot of lines. It’s okay if it’s an unlikable role, but if you want a very likable role, you may be replaced at any time before you even join the crew.

Shen Lu had never dared to think about taking part in a big production like "The Cultivator". This was not an audition arranged by the company, but she came here on her own with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

Submit resume, receive interview notice, and audition on site.

Then, like a dream, she received the notification that she passed the audition three days later.

God knows how happy and scared Shen Lu was before she joined the group. Sometimes she would suddenly wake up from her sleep at night and take out her cell phone to check if there were any message notifications.

She was afraid that she would end up like the previous opportunity she had finally caught. She had already got the script and was about to join the crew, but was replaced at the last minute.

But in the end, Shen Lu joined the group smoothly.

After joining the crew, to be honest, Director Xu is very strict. If a shot is not taken well, it is common to reshoot it more than ten times. Sometimes the whole crew does not sleep just to wait for the sunrise in the morning.

It is really hard work, but when I am praised as a role model, the huge sense of satisfaction in my heart can instantly offset all the hard work.

When talking about this experience on the show, Shen Lu couldn't help but have tears in her eyes: "I had just finished filming that day, and Director Sheng came to watch and sat next to Director Xu. Then when I came down, they both looked up at me, and Director Sheng said that she was imitating Sheng Quan's tone.

——"Xiao Lu, you shot that scene really well. It moved your Director Xu to tears. Our company has a new project. You should give it a try. I think you can be the female lead."

Shen Lu has been in the industry for so long, but has never played the leading female role. Anyone who knows her a little knows this.

The host looked envious and said, "You must have acted really well to impress them. Did you go there later?"

Shen Lu nodded: "I went there and decided on the same day. I really did."

She couldn't hold back her tears again, so she wiped them away quickly and said with a smile: "It really feels like a dream. I got the first female lead role in my life. I am really lucky and grateful. Thank you "The Cultivator" for giving me this opportunity.

After the show was broadcast, Shen Lu's old and new fans felt sorry for her and also developed a great liking for Sheng Quan.

[He is really a good person]

[Jiang Zhen also said that it was Director Sheng who discovered him, and he had originally planned to be a martial arts instructor.]

[He is so handsome but he is a martial arts instructor? ? What a waste of talent! Thank you Mr. Sheng! ]

[Sheng Quan has a good eye. I have always hated the rich, but I really can’t hate her because every handsome man and beautiful woman she found is my type!]

[Wow, I feel sorry for Lulu. Congratulations, Lulu, you were finally discovered.]

There were several other actors from the same group who appeared on the show with Shen Lu, and they all expressed that they were very honored to be able to participate in "The Cultivator".

In the comment section of this program, the most active people are Jiang Zhen fans.

Sheng Quan’s prediction was correct, Jiang Zhen is indeed a rare mature artist.

The so-called mature type means that as long as he is given a chance to perform, he will naturally become a hit without even having to do much.

Young handsome guys are certainly handsome, but the type like Jiang Zhen who looks like he can beat ten men at once, gives people a sense of security, and is full of hormones is more likely to attract a large number of fans quickly.

According to his fans, “How can every movement and every look be so sweet?”

Before "The Cultivator" appeared on the online video platform, fans took advantage of the scenes of Jiang Zhen on the show and edited them in various ways.

The most popular title at the moment is [Jiang Zhen Kill Me!!]

The content directly enlarges the picture, locks Jiang Zhen's facial features on the entire screen, slows down the speed, and adds bgm.

The comments were full, especially the part where Jiang Zhen was talking and suddenly thought of something. He curled his lips slightly and tried to cover it with his hand, but he couldn't hide the smile that was faintly rippling in his dark eyes.

The fans were almost going crazy.

The comments section is either filled with long passages praising her beauty, or screaming "ah ah ah".

【Ah ...

[Oh my god, it’s so sweet]

【I fell in love with him! 】

[Help, how can he smile like a husband with such a wild face! ]

[Here Jiang Zhen talked about how Director Sheng took him to the hospital for a checkup. He was laughing all the time. The host asked him why he laughed whenever he mentioned his boss. He covered his face the next time he mentioned it. But you can cover your mouth but not your eyes, my brother Zhen!!!]

[It's even more sweet after blocking it (Is this something I can say)]

[Fuck, this wild man is really a wolfdog! ]

【cool!!!】

[It's so funny. Jinjiu was leaning on the sofa when talking about other topics. He only answered a few words when asked by the host. But when talking about Sheng Quan, his eyes lit up instantly and he sat up straight and listened very seriously. He even took the initiative to join the topic. How can he be so cute? Hahahaha]

【hoooooot!!!】

[Why are there so many foreign languages ​​in the comments section? Is this a new trend that I haven’t noticed because I haven’t been a fan for so long? ]

[Upstairs, these are our Brother Zhen’s foreign fans. Brother Zhen has a lot of fans abroad too! Xiuzhe is super popular abroad, and he has also brought glory to the country hahahaha]

Sheng Quan also saw this video.

After the release of "The Cultivator", the spring of face control has arrived. She has been addicted to various videos these days.

Sheng Quan not only watched this video "Jiang Zhen Kill Me!!" three times, but also watched it over and over again.

After watching it again, she left a comment with satisfaction: [Ahhh, so Sue, so wild! ! Love it! ]

After leaving the review, Mr. Sheng couldn’t help but appreciate it again.

While she was enjoying it, there was a knock on the office door. She looked at the video and shouted, "Come in."

Jiang Zhen pushed the door open and came in. Hearing the BGM, he was slightly startled and walked forward unsurely: "Are you looking for me?"

When I walked closer, I found that what Sheng Quan was watching was indeed a video edited of him appearing on the show.

Jiang Zhen seemed calm, but his face was several degrees hotter than before.

Sheng Quan shook his phone naturally:

"You should be on more shows. You seem to have more fans in real life than in the movies. I'll ask your agent to arrange something for you. It turns out that your upbringing can be seen."

This straightforward compliment made Jiang Zhen's face even hotter.

During the filming of "The Cultivator", Sheng Quan would watch the show whenever he was free. After everyone got to know each other, he naturally discovered that Director Sheng liked to browse various software that were popular among young people.

He had seen the clips of her drinking Jinjiu, Yan Hui, and even a blurry video of Gu Zhao's appearance, which Sheng Quan watched with great gusto.

At that time, Jiang Zhen had ambitiously thought that one day, Mr. Sheng would definitely see his clips.

Jiang Zhen doesn’t actually use these apps very often, but it’s human nature to want everyone to pay attention to them.

When he saw his fans on Weibo mention this video, he couldn't help but download the software to watch it.

At that time, I thought the fans were good at editing, but now...

Thinking about how he was clearly doing normal activities in the video but was forcibly edited to look erotic in slow motion, Jiang Zhen's ears turned red within seconds.

The tall man tried to show that he didn't care, and said in a hoarse voice, "As long as you are satisfied with my performance."

Of course Sheng Quan was satisfied.

Jiang Zhen can be said to be the one who has given the most to her career so far.

A "Cultivator" directly increased his career speed to 55%.

You know, the price of Yan Hui and Jin wine is less than 50.

Although the huge success of "The Cultivator" was also a factor, Jiang Zhen himself is indeed quite charming.

As far as Sheng Quan knows, among the actors of "The Cultivator", the one who has the most foreign fans is Jiang Zhen, and he is the kind that far surpasses the second place.

This is also related to entertainment culture. Compared with domestic fans, foreign fans do prefer Jiang Zhen's style, but it seems that domestic fans who have always liked young and handsome guys also tend to move closer to Jiang Zhen's type.

Sheng Quan expressed her understanding, after all, she was the same.

And compared to those fans, she can also appreciate Jiang Zhen openly and honestly.

Sometimes, when I feel tired from studying or working, I can go directly to the company gym and see a group of handsome men and beautiful women working out there. Naturally, Jiang Zhen, who has already been signed, is among them.

Sometimes when he saw Sheng Quan "passing by", he would wipe the sweat off his face and smile at her.

Mr. Sheng: It’s great to be a boss.

Of course, even if you are obsessed with looks, you still have to do your work.

Soon, the crew will go to attend the Golden Forest Awards ceremony.

Sheng Quan could have chosen not to go, but this award is of very high value in this world.

The most important thing is that this is the first time in nearly five years that a Chinese film has been nominated for such an internationally renowned award, and it seems that there is a great chance of winning.

She leaned back in her chair and got down to business: "I'm looking for you because you're also going to participate in the Golden Forest Awards. We'll go make a dress together later."

"Golden Forest is so famous, are you nervous?"

Jiang Zhen looked towards Sheng Quan, at the girl who was smiling at him in the sunshine, and couldn't help but let a faint smile appear in his sharp eyes.

He answered:

“Not nervous.”

“Because we’re going to win.”

Sheng Quan's smile widened: "Yes, we will win."

A month later, the world-renowned Golden Grove Awards, an important and influential award in the film industry, announced the winning films :

—— "Cultivator" from China

The news shocked the whole country.
