Chapter 618: Prelude to the release of "Red Sun" 2
Li Ze: [Since there are too many movies during the Spring Festival, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the theater has to be a little cautious and can't only broadcast "Red Sun" 24 hours a day. If you don't mind, how about I schedule the screening at 6pm and 8pm? 】
! ! ! !
Golden time period!
Not only did we avoid the embarrassment of not being able to get out of bed and watch a movie on New Year's morning, but we also missed mealtime!
but! Just schedule the films, what does it mean to schedule the films based on his opinions? !
Don't even mention that he is a failed director now. Just think about the past when his third movie was released and he went to Dujiang Cinema to arrange screening. He drank a few glasses of liquor with the person in charge there and spent countless efforts but still couldn't get the deal!
Although Dujiang Cinema is also a national cinema chain, it is far behind Evergrande.
Being able to ask Li Ze for time is a blessing that many directors cannot obtain even after eight hundred years of cultivation!
[Okay, okay, this time period is particularly good! I like it very much, but it’s a bother for you! 】
We were talking with Evergrande for less than half an hour when several well-known cinemas from other places expressed their intention to discuss scheduling the screening of "Red Sun".
Feng Bo was stunned.
The one who was even more confused than him was actually Li Ze's secretary, who had a sullen face and looked unhappy.
"Master Li, Red Sun is obviously a flop. Didn't we agree with Master Jiang to schedule Wings of Heaven and Mu's The Voice for him?"
"It's no use for you to tell me this."
The man sitting in the office, with red lips and white teeth, twirling his sunglasses with one hand, and his royal blue suit made him look unusually charming. "You have to talk to the tyrant king who set fire to the city walls to win the smile of a beautiful woman."
The secretary tilted his head in confusion.
Li Ze laughed, took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it under his nose without lighting it, and sniffed it. "Young Master Jiang's movie is short, scheduled at 3 pm, and the Mu family's are scheduled at 10 am and 4:30 pm."
"Not the Mu family's movie?" the secretary was surprised.
Li Ze looked at the secretary as if she was mentally retarded, "The cinema doesn't need to make a profit, I don't need to pay you!"
They are all counting on this crappy movie "Red Sun". No cinema can expect to have a peaceful life this year!
——
at the same time.
This is Feng Bo's side.
Although not many cinemas came to him for negotiation later, and none of them were as famous as Evergrande, just looking at the momentum, he was very happy that the cinemas were willing to give them this opportunity.
At first he didn't think much about it and thought it was due to Ye Shiyun's appeal.
It was not until later that the owner of a cinema inadvertently suggested to Feng Bo to say a few good words to Fu Zhi.
Feng Boke understood, and called Fu Zhi to thank her for everything she had done for the movie.
"? Have I done something good that won't leave a name behind?"
"Contact each cinema. I saw Evergrande came to me and said they would arrange a time slot for us to broadcast in the evening. Sure, Ms. Fu, you are so shameless... Oh no, you are so shameless!"
Evergrande?
Fu Zhi blinked, "What is Evergrande?"
"The village just got an internet cafe, Miss Fu," Feng Bo said, looking like he knew everything about Fu Zhi's life in the village. He spent three minutes explaining to Fu Zhi what Evergrande Cinema was. "In short, it's very strong, very strong!"
Since it was Li's business, Fu Zhi felt relieved and asked a few more questions about the Weibo pre-sale. In addition to these cinemas, what were the trends of other cinemas?
"Evergrande's attitude is quite clear. They have arranged a good prime time for us. I haven't asked about the situation in other cinemas, but judging from the current pre-sale on Weibo, they probably still don't buy into our idea..."
Fu Zhi actually understood that Xu Wei and her girlfriend's mother liked actor Ye San because Ye San was full of inexplicable funny points and was very cute, while other people didn't like Ye San because he was not professional enough.
No matter which circle he is in, an actor who has no acting skills and just shouts "one, two, three, four, five" when speaking his lines will be despised!
This was Fu Zhi's first time working in the film industry. Even if he couldn't make his film a big hit and make a profit, he still wanted more people to watch the film so that he could correct the public's impression of Ye San and reduce the bad reputation.
But now it seems that the road ahead is long!
Fu Zhi sighed, hung up the phone and returned to the classroom.
On the podium, Ma Mingquan kept imparting knowledge points, shouting until his mouth was dry.
After the final exam of the first semester and the parent-teacher meeting, we will have a complete holiday tomorrow.
After class, class representatives from each subject followed the head teacher to record the winter vacation homework.
Fu Zhi sat in a chair, spinning a pen, absent-minded.
After Song Fang and his group finished reciting the Chinese text, they noticed the situation here, looked at each other, and pulled their chairs to Fu Zhi's desk. "What's wrong, Sister Zhi? You have been listless recently. Are you having a conflict with President Li or are you heartbroken?"
"If you can't speak, then don't speak!" Su Xing raised the Chinese textbook in his hand, and put the edge of the book against Song Fang's lips, signaling him to be quiet, and then said slowly: "It's the pre-sale of the movie. The movie shot by Zhizhi doesn't do well in pre-sale on Weibo."
"Pre-sales are not good? How is that possible!" Wang Yu flipped through the Weibo on his phone. "Ye Shiyun is a big-name male star, and Guangyuan's reputation is also good? Why can't they beat their rivals?"
As for this rival, apart from the Mu family, no one else can be considered.
Wang Yu opened Ye Shiyun's homepage with great confidence.
The pinned Weibo post is the one promoting the new drama.
“Isn’t that over 200,000 comments and over 600,000 likes?”
The fat sports committee member leaned over and praised, "It is worthy of being the dream... er, nightmare of 80 million girls in China."
After seeing the chaos in the comment section, the last few words were like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins and turned around and came back.
There is a male star who is very popular on the entire Internet now, a first-line male star!
Among the 200,000 comments, at least 150,000 are insulting.
——【Are you worthy enough to act in your mother’s movie? Go pick corn, you fool! 】
——[I thought Guangyuan was such a noble brother, but he really acted with you, a guy with dead eyes. Ugh! Disgusting! 】
——[If acting skills could be used as medicine, you wouldn’t have become Sima so early! 】
——【? xswl, nowadays it’s okay for everyone to make some mediocre web dramas, but now they can even make movies? ! 】
——【Upstairs, Wen Xi has a private relationship. How sad it would be for the mistress’ fans to see this. Hehehe. 】
——【Just a passerby, I think you are more suitable to sell your body. 】
…
The hostility on the Internet is overwhelming.
The fat sports committee member who was closest to him felt suffocated.
The serious film and television industry actually has a food chain.
Those who make movies look down on those who make TV series, and those who make TV series look down on those who make web series.
Ye Shiyun was lucky, as he made the leap from being the male lead in an online drama to "Red Sun", a drama that became popular abroad and won literary awards. Not only did this make his haters jump up and down, he also offended several other male actors who became popular at the same time as him.
Among these comments, there are many who are trying to lead the trend and buy negative articles.
Wang Yu really thinks this comment section is a bit scary.
But the only good thing is, "They are all scolding Ye San, and few people diss our drama. Don't worry, Sister Zhi, I will take my parents to watch it during the New Year!"
"Sister Zhi, I, I, I! Not only am I calling for my parents, I'm also going to put an oxygen tank in the theater and bring it to my grandma in the ICU to contribute to the box office!"
"And me, Sister Zhi. My father always told me to be filial to my elders. This time I plan to book the entire theater and invite all my ancestors in heaven to come. After watching the movie, they can look at my transcript and let them know that I have brought honor to our family!"
Several classmates who heard the noise gathered around.
Song Fang even said in a vicious competition: "I won't watch any of these movies during the New Year's and Spring Festival except for Sister Zhi's movies! I will only contribute to your box office! Please make our Red Sun a god!"
"You may have misunderstood."
Fu Zhi said: "In fact, other movies don't need your vote either."
Song Fang: “…”
Song Fang stiffened his neck and said, "You vote, I vote, Hong Ri will debut today, you watch less, I watch less, Mu family movies should not be box office!"
Wang Yu supported him, “Hey, even though we are just a drop in the bucket, many teachers have said that we should let high school students watch the movie Red Sun. With so many high school students from all over the country, they can also contribute a lot to the box office!”
"Besides the pre-sale on Weibo, the most important thing for the cinema's film schedule is the box office on the first day. When the time comes, all the students in our class will go to support you, Sister Zhi!"
The students in Class 21 all wanted to support Fu Zhi, and the atmosphere was full of joy.
Fu Zhi sent a WeChat message to Li Nanli.
Li Nanli told her not to worry about the movie.
A film or TV show with good quality plot, with a huge investment and excellent production, will be watched by the audience as they are short of other shows.
Fu Zhi felt much better.
As he was speaking, a film critic with eight million followers suddenly appeared on Weibo and posted a veiled message.
Fat Pickup V:
I won’t be sharing any good dramas today, but I’ll tell you a joke instead.
I have a friend named Zhang, who is a veteran director. He was in poor health and had originally thought of retiring. However, he couldn't resist the fans' repeated requests and adapted one of his big IPs into a movie.
This drama invited a group of first-line actors and veteran actors, with a large cast. A lot of money was invested in it, and the pre-sales on Weibo were also good.
My friend thought that there would be no problem scheduling the film during the prime time in the evening, but what was funny was that he had just received news from his boss. His movies were all scheduled in the morning and early morning. When he asked the reason, the other party said that the capital had withdrawn and his movie schedule had been moved to schedule other movies.
My friend is just an ordinary person, of course he cannot compete with capital.
It's not like I can't accept this kind of thing. I just found out that a certain movie scheduled in the world of the living had a huge pre-sale on Weibo. Although the original novel is powerful, after the magic change, the entire content relies on selling gay content to attract attention...
I don't understand the current market, why are such rubbish movies that corrupt children's values being promoted so widely? Then what are we doing with those directors who work hard and honestly on the front line?

Fat Pika is a blogger with big V certification. He usually attracts fans by recommending good movies and writing sharp film reviews.
Big Vs like them basically don't set their Weibo posts to be visible for half a year.
Anyone interested can find out by flipping through the book that this person knew Zhang Yuanhui, the top director of the Mu Group.
This is going to be quite lively.
The three words "Zhang Yuanhui" are well-known in the film and television industry. In addition, Fat Pika is also a big V with eight million fans. As soon as the Weibo post was released, it caused an uproar.
The fans of Fat Pika all choose the movies to watch based on his recommendations.
When they heard about this kind of thing, they felt particularly involved and asked which film was so shameless as to occupy the toilet without doing anything.
Fat Pika is also an old yin-yang person. He replied offline: [Don’t ask. If you ask, I just can’t afford to offend him. After all, the author of the original work has won various major awards abroad. How can ordinary people dare to say anything bad about him! You all can just go away and pretend that I never posted this Weibo. 】
"Damn, if it has been published, it has been published. If it hasn't been published, it doesn't exist. Have you read too many novels by Zhang Yuanhui? Fat Pika's mouth reeks of green tea!" Song Fang was furious.
Having said that, the original work has won various awards abroad, except for "Red Sun", and no one else has given it a try!
If someone with Song Fang's IQ can think of this question, how could netizens not think of it?
In a matter of minutes, the comment section gave a hot comment to Fat Pika:
——[No wonder there are fewer and fewer good movies these years, they’re all squeezed out like this! 】
——[Although, the blogger should read more books. "Red Sun" is particularly famous abroad and is a literary work that brings glory to the country. I think it is not against the law to schedule a screening for it in the world of the living! 】
——[Xiao Fei, can the person above pay attention to the questions! What the blogger criticized was that Red Sun deliberately catered to certain stupid fans and forced changes to sell homosexuality! They even asked the capital to step down and tear down the young director. Isn't that disgusting? 】
——【Fu Zhi is a nice person, but that doesn’t affect her ugly eating habits, thank you! 】
——[As early as when Fu Zhi chose Ye Shiyun and Guangyuan as the male protagonists and a group of fan fictions emerged online, I knew that this movie was low-level! Come on Director Zhang! I have been watching your films since I was a child. They are similar to Feng Bo's once popular film Mother River. Feng Bo has run out of ideas and can only rely on his modified Fu Zhi films to attract people's attention. You must stick to it! Did you know that I support you twice? 】
——【Everyone can make up rumors. I also said that Fu Zhi is my wife, and you are our rebellious son. Do you believe this? 】
——[I like Fu Zhi. Ye Shiyun’s acting is disgusting enough to make me sick. I won’t watch this one. Let’s wait for the next one. As long as Ye Shiyun doesn’t play the role, I will definitely support Zhizhi in the next one! 】
…
The blogger posted a Weibo post, which once again angered Zhang Yuanhui's fans.
Who has the most people on Weibo? What kind of people are the most numerous in this society?
Rich people only account for a small part of the population; there are more ordinary people who can empathize with you and feel the same way as you.
Seeing a director like Zhang Yuanhui who has representative works being bullied like this, I instantly thought of myself being oppressed by my superiors, harassed by my colleagues, and suppressed by capital in the company!
Do you think this kind of thing can be immersive?
What’s even more infuriating is that Zhang Yuanhui immediately followed up with a Weibo post.
Zhang Yuanhui V: Thank you for your concern. After this Lunar New Year film, I will announce my retirement from the film and television industry and leave the stage to young people.
