This man knows how to hype

Chapter 566: Criticized, but in the wrong direction

In the courtyard.

After hearing Ling Yi's words that he didn't want to invest in Pingtang Chongcai, Liu Yutao hurriedly said, "I heard that Xu Xiyu invested another 100 million yuan."

"Look, isn't this a negative asset? He has acquired this company for more than four years, but there is no output. There is not even a promotional video. He just poured money into it. It must have cost hundreds of millions, right?" Ling Yi laughed when he heard this.

After he was happy, he said dissatisfiedly: "The 100 million he invested in Pingxing Chongcai should be used to buy shares in our shell company. This is all our money! Ah Tao, when can you complete the plan?"

"It's almost done. Cheng Yunqing and Lan Shuyun have almost scared him to death. I plan to use his position to scare him again." Liu Yutao said hurriedly.

Hearing this, Ling Yi was at least somewhat satisfied, and emphasized: "Remember, you must find some patriotic big Vs to poke this matter, so that Xu Xiyu will feel that this is the attitude of the government.

Don’t use marketing accounts, or even let some well-received V-names to attack you, as this will only backfire! ”

This is the difference between them and Huahai. Huahai also wants to make use of Xu Xiyu’s position, but it is likely that they will let marketing accounts lead the pace.

Liu Yutao and Ling Yi thought of using patriotic celebrities.

Pretending to be official is in their nature.

Ling Yi said again: "By the way, remember to contact a few more reporters from public media to follow up on the report and make comments. After this is done, I hope to see Xu Xiyu take the initiative to ask us for help, OK?"

"I understand." Liu Yutao felt the pressure growing upon hearing this.

Another two days passed...

"Coco" has finally entered the first day of its public release period, and small and medium-sized pre-screenings have also been launched in various parts of the world.

After only half a day of release, the domestic single-day box office alone has exceeded 2 million. The overseas box office figures cannot be calculated yet, but they are estimated to be not bad.

In short, seeing that this movie is going to make a lot of money again, while their own "Superpower Family" has been postponed to an unknown year and month for release, Guo Jinwei and Cao Xiangyun, the master and apprentice pair who seem to be in harmony but are actually at odds, are almost jealous.

"Xiangyun, didn't you say that Xu Xiyu was being targeted by a big shot? How come such a long time has passed and there is no movement at all?"

"Master, big shots always do things in an orderly manner. What can you accomplish if you rush?"

After hearing this, Guo Jinwei also felt that it made sense.

So, I waited patiently for the big shot to make a move.

At this time, Liu Yutao, the orderly "big shot" mentioned by Cao Xiangyun, was running around in a panic.

The people he arranged to contact those patriotic celebrities have been there for two days, but there has been no movement at all, which has made him very confused.

"Fuck, don't these media people know that time is life? They are so slow in doing things that they can't even eat shit while it's still hot!"

After cursing, Liu Yutao’s cell phone rang again.

I picked it up and saw that it was from Ling Yi.

Liu Yutao answered the call with some trepidation. Before he could say anything, he heard Ling Yi say, "I asked someone to contact Cai Song from Huaxia News. You should go and talk to him."

"Oh, okay." Liu Yutao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. Cai Song was a well-known editor of a news magazine. He must have been contacted in order to write an article criticizing Xu Xiyu.

So Liu Yutao didn't dare to delay and immediately ran to find Cai Song.

Cai Song naturally knew Liu Yutao's purpose.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he said with a cheerful smile: "Mr. Liu, you are also aware of the nature of our news publication. I can't criticize anything for no reason. I can only publish articles on relevant social phenomena."

"Director Cai, don't worry, someone will soon reveal Xu Xiyu's true identity."

"To be honest, Mr. Liu, I really didn't expect him to be so ambitious. We Chinese people have given him so much support and praise, but he actually stigmatized our local culture while promoting foreign culture!"

"There's nothing strange about this. He is just that kind of person!" Liu Yutao laughed.

He laughed, and Cai Song laughed too. Although he said nice things, he knew exactly what was going on.

In fact, if Xu Xiyu was really such a "person with wolfish ambitions", he would not even comment!
It is because Xu Xiyu is not, so we have to say he is.

Thinking of this, Cai Song was about to say something else, but he heard Liu Yutao's assistant Xia Ru say: "Boss Liu, Zhenglin said he sent the video!"

After hearing this, Liu Yutao became excited.

This [Zhenglinshuo] can be said to be the patriotic celebrity with the most fans at present, so he is naturally one of Liu Yutao's targets for criticizing Xu Xiyu.

Now that he has posted the video, his mission can be said to be half completed.

Thinking of this, he took out his cell phone and said to Cai Song, "Director Cai, how about we watch the video first?"

"It's good to take a look." Cai Song said as he moved to Liu Yutao's side.

Liu Yutao happened to search for the latest video of [Zhenglin Shuo]. When they saw the title of the video, they were immediately amused.

The title reads [【Exclusive Disclosure】Uncovering the Secret History of Overseas Collusion of Xu Xiyu, a New Star in the Chinese Entertainment Industry? 】

"Is it so straightforward?" Cai Song said with a smile.

"Being straightforward is good. That's what we want. And you know what, these patriotic people are really awesome." Liu Yutao laughed even more happily.

But when he clicked on the video and watched it for a while, the smile on his face froze in an instant.

The blogger Lin Zheng, whom Zheng Lin mentioned, was sitting in front of the camera and said, "Today's video is very special. I wonder what you think when you see the title of my video. Are you confused or excited?
Just the day before yesterday, someone contacted me and said that he would provide me with inside information and asked me to make a video exposing Xu Xiyu’s problematic stance, and the other party was willing to pay me a fee of 10,000 yuan.

Not only me, but also Sister Yan, Xiaoying, Brother Qi and many other bloggers I know have received this so-called inside information and quotation.

They hope that we can select one or two items for interpretation based on the inside information. As you all know, I seldom pay attention to entertainment news.

But today I have to speak out, so I will take you to take a good look at this so-called inside story and reveal Xu Xiyu's 'true face'."

"Fuck, is this Lin Zheng crazy?!" My goodness, the first sentence almost broke Liu Yutao's defense. What does this mean?
Are you exposing Xu Xiyu or me?

Cai Song, who was standing beside him, looked so confused that he said, "Boss Liu, what's going on?"

Liu Yutao ignored him and pressed the screen to start watching the video at double speed.

Lin Zheng in the video continued with the edited footage, "This inside story lists many of Xu Xiyu's crimes.

First, deliberately stigmatizing words such as Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Child, and subtly deconstructing national heroes. Netizens, do you think this crime is established?

Anyone with a little creative common sense knows that this is a commonly used creative method of using contrast to create a comedic effect. If this can be taken too seriously, then I have nothing to say.

Article 2: Xu Xiyu deliberately provoked internal strife in traditional cultural groups and destroyed traditional master-disciple relationships. Taking Jixiang Society as an example, he induced Cao Xiangyun to make false statements.

They even directed and acted out scenes like "parents reporting" and "experts criticizing" to promote the movie.

At this point, Lin Zheng clapped his hands and said with an extremely sarcastic expression: "To be honest, I personally like Mr. Guo Jinwei very much.

I still remember when Mr. Guo Jinwei was ostracized by the mainstream crosstalk community, he said a classic line on stage: "Even if you kill me, you won't be able to sell your tickets."

This is very well said. I think some literary and artistic workers now have an illusion that if they "kill" Xu Xiyu, their movie box office will improve and people will like their works.

Wake up, your poor box office is purely because of the poor quality of your work. The audience doesn't like to watch it. Whether Xu Xiyu is in it or not doesn't affect the reality that no one will go to see your movie. "

“Is this the move of the big shot you mentioned?!” On the other side, Guo Jinwei, who was also watching the video, was so angry when he saw this that he began to tremble.

Cao Xiangyun was completely dumbfounded: "This... this this this this... this?"

Liu Yutao was also dumbfounded. He turned to Xia Ru and asked, "Xia Ru, are these the inside stories we uncovered?"

"Yes, you gave the order yourself." Xia Ru nodded as a matter of course.

"When did I order the Auspicious Society to be added?"

"You have instructed us to make the attack points as comprehensive and numerous as possible, and to give them as much room as possible to choose their topics." Xia Ru continued with a normal expression.

"I..." Liu Yutao was choked by these words.

Who the hell could have thought that this guy would choose the topic like this?
Just as Liu Yutao was cursing in his heart, Lin Zheng’s video continued to play: “The third article talks about colluding with the West to spread foreign culture in the country.

Take "Coco" as an example, it is clear that the Chinese background can be selected, but it insists on using a Western background. Good, good, that's very well said. I remember that some days ago someone reported that Xu Xiyu promoted feudal superstition.

Why are people saying that Coco is not set in China? I want to ask, if this movie is not set in Mexico, can people still watch it?
Using a foreign background is to promote foreign culture, and using a domestic background is to scare children and promote feudal superstition. You are blocking both ends, right? You have said everything!"

"Holy shit?!" Mao Gaojun from Huahai Media was dumbfounded when he saw this. You know, he had originally planned to use the Mexican background of "Coco" to make a fuss.

In fact, in his opinion, facing this topic, Xu Xiyu would most likely be unable to defend himself.

But now that Lin Zheng said this, he finally realized, yes, if this person had a domestic background, would he be able to pass the review?
Video continues.

"The fourth one said that Xu Xiyu had smuggled his own ideas into the film to promote correct elements, and for example, he deliberately added the relationship between Erye and Lao Jin in "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

But isn't it just to explain why the second master has no offspring that Lao Jin and Er Ye are lovers? The whole movie only mentions it once at the end, which is equivalent to a joke. Is this considered correct publicity?
If this counts, then what is the movie about two men and one woman living together directed by Zhang Jianbai? His is art, and Xu Xiyu's is just private goods? "

Speaking of which, if Xu Xiyu had filmed "Sherlock's Troubles" and "The Shameful Iron Fist", then this point might have been confirmed, because there are related elements in these two movies.

There are many such elements in Happy Twist's movies, such as Montagut in "Sherlock Holmes" and the transgender man played by Huang Cailun in "The Shameful Iron Fist" who asked the protagonist Addison to throw a fake punch.

Fortunately, Xu Xiyu did not take any photos.

"The fifth article said that Xu Xiyu's American friend Nancy's identity was questionable, and that Nancy cheered for Xu Xiyu during the shooting in the United States.

In addition, a chorus of "One Day" was organized, and then the chorus activity quickly swept across Europe and the United States.

They believed that if Xu Xiyu had not joined Nancy and the organization behind her, he would not have received such treatment.

I mean, have you forgotten that Trudeau also met with Xu Xiyu, and Lacy even said he would give him the Presidential Medal of Freedom?
With things so out in the open, I don't believe that no one has investigated Xu Xiyu. If he really has a problem, how can he still appear on the public platform now?

Next, the most outrageous thing came. It was said that Xu Xiyu and Ke Xinying organized the National Style Culture Festival in an attempt to obtain the right to interpret the national style, so as to smuggle their own agenda and influence young people who love the national style.

My goodness, you guys don't want to spend time promoting Chinese traditional culture, but others spend money and energy writing songs and arranging artists to learn intangible cultural heritage and perform.

We organized dozens or even hundreds of intangible cultural heritage inheritors to enter university campuses in order to promote traditional culture. How come you guys are promoting it wrongly?!
I sincerely advise some people that since you are literary and artistic workers, you should focus more on your works. It is your job to present more and better works to the audience, instead of doing these things.

At the same time, I would like to advise certain organizations with ulterior motives not to be so clever as to treat us as fools. Who are you trying to fool with this trick?

Finally, I want to emphasize again that I made this video purely because I couldn't stand the inappropriate behavior of some people.

I have not received any money or material benefits from Xu Xiyu and his related individuals or companies. In fact, I have never communicated with Xu Xiyu and his related individuals or companies.

I am willing to take legal responsibility for my words!"

Senseless.

After watching the video, Liu Yutao was completely stunned.

He didn't understand why things turned out this way?
Is there something wrong with this Lin Zheng?
We gave him money and inside information to gain traffic, but he actually went against the grain?

"Xu Xiyu is their father, why is he protecting him so much?" Liu Yutao turned to Cai Song and Xia Ru and asked in confusion.

When Xia Ru heard this, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart: If the world were full of people like you, wouldn't it be doomed?

It's over.

It's really over.

Because Liu Yutao's cell phone rang, it was Ling Yi calling.
