Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 426 Giving away over 100 million in one go, how extravagant!

"Alright, be careful and don't be too eager for quick success," Old Hu finally advised.

Zhou Yang felt a warmth in his heart. "Don't worry, no problem. The box office will definitely be a huge success. I'll treat you to a drink."

"Haha, great! I'm looking forward to the celebratory drink!"

Subsequently, Xu Shanzheng, Gulnazar, and others called Zhou Yang, urging him to think twice before acting, and Zhou Yang sincerely thanked them.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yang's eyes gleamed with hope.

He was determined not to let down those who cared about him, and not to cause them worry or disappointment!
What will Singles' Day bring? The battle continues!!

In the following week, the entire Huayang Film and Television Group entered a state of preparation, concentrating resources on promoting the movie "Iron Man 2".

Major online video platforms are filled with post-credits surprises and exciting clips from "Iron Man 1," attracting many netizens who have never seen it before.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yang led the main creative team on a global promotional tour, with the first stop being the United States.

Numerous media outlets gathered at the press conference, including European media, who came specifically for Zhou Yang.

"Iron Man 2 is coming out soon, I can't wait!"

"Hahaha... Yeah, Iron Man is the coolest superhero I've ever seen, and this storyline is even more exciting!"

"Zhou will definitely bring us new surprises!"

"I don't know what Zhou's personality is like, so I'd like to ask a pointed question."

"Don't worry, Zhou is the best-tempered celebrity I've ever met. However, if you're looking to create a sensational story, you might be disappointed. Zhou won't act according to the reporters' wishes."

"I'll be satisfied as long as he answers!"

"..."

About 30 minutes later, Zhou Yang, along with Scarlett Johansson, Gal Gadot, Guo Fan, and others, arrived at the press conference and took their seats.

The reporters at the scene were all in high spirits.

Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Please be quiet. Everyone has a chance to ask a question. Whoever's turn it is, please raise your hand."

Upon hearing Zhou Yang's speech, the media personnel present fell silent.

Soon, a female reporter stood up, smiled, and asked Zhou Yang: "Why did you choose Scarlett Johansson to star in 'Iron Man 2'? Was it because Gal Gadot made you tired of her? Is that why you invited Johansson for the sequel?"

Faced with this sharp question, the other reporters immediately shifted their attention; the question was practically a trap.

Answering this question carelessly could offend someone.

“Of course, Gal Gadot is such a stunning beauty that you’d be amazed every day.” Zhou Yang praised Gal Gadot first, then Scarlett Johansson, “I invited Scarlett Johansson simply because I think she’s perfect for the role of Black Widow; her acting skills and temperament are an absolute perfect fit.”

Hearing Zhou Yang's praise, Gal Gadot and Scarlett Johansson were both pleased, and they smiled.

Suddenly, a reporter stood up and asked, "Mr. Zhou, in your opinion, who gave a better performance in this film, Gal Gadot or Scarlett Johansson?"

This is incredibly tricky! It's suspicious! The other reporters all perked up their ears, eager to know how Zhou Yang would answer this question.

However, Zhou Yang will not fall into this trap.

"They both performed exceptionally well. I even feel like I've become a supporting character compared to them," Zhou Yang said with a shrug, sounding somewhat helpless.

"Hahaha……"

Laughter erupted from the crowd; everyone was amused by Zhou Yang.

As the youngest actor to ever win an Oscar, how could Zhou Yang's acting skills be inferior to Scarlett Johansson and Gal Gadot? It's simply unbelievable.

Gal Gadot and Scarlett Johansson were overjoyed to hear Zhou Yang's praise, their faces beaming with delight.

Suddenly, a beautiful reporter from an island nation stood up and asked Zhou Yang, "Mr. Zhou, hello, I am Ayaka Miyoshi. What are your expectations for the box office of 'Iron Man 2'? Is it still possible to break the three billion dollar mark?"

The other reporters nodded in agreement, all eager to know Zhou Yang's predictions for the box office prospects of "Iron Man 2." Zhou Yang smiled and shook his head, "The market's reaction is unpredictable; after all, every film must be tested by the market."

"Mr. Zhou, thank you for your reply."

Ayaka Miyoshi did not receive the answer she hoped for, but she bowed deeply to Zhou Yang to express her gratitude.

Subsequently, reporters asked Zhou Yang and the other lead actors questions, and some controversial questions were easily resolved.

After the press conference, Zhou Yang and the main cast immediately headed to another country.

A week later, the highly anticipated first promotional trailer for "Iron Man 2" was officially released.

In the trailer, Black Widow, dressed in a cool black bodysuit, fights alongside Iron Man, creating a stunning visual effect.

Domestic movie fans were inspired by this trailer.

Wow! Scarlett Johansson's figure is making my heart race!

"It's so amazing, I feel like I don't have enough hands to see it all!"

"I'm excited, how about you?!"

"So sexy! Yang Ge's casting is fantastic!"

"If Gal Gadot represents youthful energy, then Scarlett Johansson represents sexy maturity—she's so charming!"

Wow, I can't wait for the movie to be released!

"Enough! I'm not shopping online anymore on Singles' Day, I'm going to the movies!"

"I want one too! I'll grab a ticket right now!"

Two days later, Zhou Yang, along with Scarlett Johansson and others, returned to China to begin a local promotional tour.

In every city they visited, the fans were exceptionally enthusiastic.

The press conference was often packed with people. Scarlett Johansson was surprised by the large number of fans Zhou Yang had in his home country, as it was the first time she had ever experienced such a scene.

Of course, the most anticipated question at the press conference was still the box office performance of "Iron Man 2," since choosing to release it on Singles' Day (November 11th) meant facing a huge challenge.

Netizens also enjoy paying attention to these kinds of controversial topics.

However, Zhou Yang is not an inexperienced novice, and he skillfully defused these controversial issues each time.

Zhou Yang was well aware of the risks involved, and he urged Chen Tianzhen to increase investment in the promotion of "Iron Man 2," because even the best wine needs advertising.

Time flies, and November 10th has arrived in the blink of an eye. The internet is full of promotions for the Double 11 online shopping festival.

Jack Ma specially hosted a grand online gala, inviting popular internet celebrities to collaborate and support him, such as Wei Xiaocheng, Zhang Xiaofeng, and Liu Xiaoyang.

In response to the trend, Zhou Yang posted a trending message.

"#Actor Zhou Yang: To celebrate the global release of 'Superhero' this morning, I've decided to randomly select 10,000 lucky viewers from those who supported the premiere and commented on this Weibo post to receive a free VIP video membership!#"

Zhou Yang's generosity left fans speechless: 10,000 VIP memberships, worth over 100 million!
Wow! Brother Zhou, you're so generous!

"Brother Zhou, you have to pick me! I'm your biggest fan!!"

"Zhou Ge is so cool! Support the premiere!"

"Don't say anything more, Brother Zhou, I love you! I hope I win the lottery!"

"Oh my god, I have to be chosen! That way I can watch the show for free!"
