Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 706 The Feud Begins (34)

Actually, according to the order of male, female, painted-face, old man, and clown, Allen is very suitable to play the lead role!

Especially in the comedy field…

Comedians who can play leading roles need to be good-looking...

Allen is really handsome!

Standing at 187cm, are you telling me the audience only cares about him because he's good at playing dumb?
The problem is... he's already famous for playing fools...

After playing Da Chun, whenever he appears in movies, TV series, or sketches, I feel like he's bound to be the silliest one!

Da Chun, you're different from others...

Okay, actually, before "Charlotte," he mostly played goofy, big-headed characters in Mahua FunAge stage plays...

It's...not easy to make a transition...

The script for "Never Say Die" is good, and the jokes are decent...

Happy Twist's comedies are actually not bad; at least they have complete stories!

This is a far cry from Deng Chao's comedy—Deng Chao and Yu Baimei's understanding of comedy was still stuck at the "making a scene" stage...

Pranks might amuse the audience, but comedy is more than just funny movies!

By the way, Deng Chao has also started working on the film "The Breakup Guru"...

I hope he succeeds!

……

"You...you really didn't kill anyone?"

"I really didn't kill anyone!"

"Then...what are you going to do at that sculptor's...workshop?"

“I was playing cards that day when I received a phone call. The caller asked me to go to Songpa Workshop at midnight on April 14th to pull a Buddha statue and deliver it to the Haitian Building parking lot. They said they would pay me. When I got there, they had me fill out a delivery form and then gave me the money…”

At this point, Wang Baoqiang's expression changed, as if he had remembered something: "That person wasn't dead when I left!"

Shen Yan then asked, "Where's the box...?"

"According to regulations, you should be taken to the Haitiantian Building parking lot, but there's only one car waiting there!"

"You...you didn't see the recipient?"

Wang Baoqiang: "No, that person just told me to put the box next to the car. That place is high in the front and low in the back, and it has too much yin energy. It looks like an ominous place. Who would want to stay there for long?"

"You...you didn't open the box to check?"

"That box was sealed shut! Who knew there was gold inside!"

Shen Yan closed the documents in his hand and smiled: "Interesting!"

"interesting?"

He pointed his flashlight at Wang Baoqiang: "Based on the existing evidence, you are the murderer!"

"I'm not the murderer!"

"How did that person die?"

"How would I know how he died!"

The two hid in a dilapidated house by the river...

Waiting to smuggle them back to China by ship!
After all, the existing evidence points to Tang Ren as the murderer, and the police have issued an arrest warrant…

Even Tang Ren's boss, Brother Tai, couldn't protect him!

Although Tai is a gambler, womanizer, and muddle-headed detective, he is loyal and a good friend of Tang Ren, one of the male protagonists.

Tang Ren committed murder, and the evidence was conclusive; he was even willing to send him back to China…

And he's very bold: you even have the bureau chief's wife...

"Click... Passed!"

Chen Sicheng nodded and then asked, "Are we going to continue filming?"

Shen Yan glanced at Chen Chexi, who said, "Let's call it a day, it's already 8 p.m.... We'll continue filming tomorrow!"

The executive producer spoke up, and Chen Sicheng nodded in agreement: "Then let's stop filming here for today... By the way, Brother Yan, Allen and Qiao Shan have joined the crew. Shall we have a meal together to welcome them?"

"...Great, I don't have a live stream today!"

While instructing the props team to pack up, Chen Sicheng asked, "Is this livestream interesting?" "I think it's quite fun; I can hear the most honest opinions from netizens..."

"reality?"

“My live stream not only has fans but also a lot of ordinary netizens…and they say really nasty things.”

"Is that a hater?"

Shen Yan shook his head: "I don't think so. The world is not as polarized as either being a fan or a hater... Once you fall into that kind of logic, you won't be able to get out!"

Chen Sicheng nodded: "Have they been discussing 'Never Say Die' lately?"

"Yeah... and they even said I leaked the pirated source of 'Lost in Hong Kong,' speechless!"

"The pirated source for 'Lost in Hong Kong' should be ETV, right?"

"Yes…"

Uh, Le Vision Pictures has issued a statement—directly announcing the widespread piracy of "Lost in Hong Kong"!
"Then why did he say that you were the one who leaked it?"

Shen Yan shook his head: "I don't know, maybe they think 'Never Say Die' and 'Lost in Hong Kong' are direct competitors!"

Are there pirated copies of "Tekken"?

"There definitely is... Rakushi is shameless!"

"Then...what should we do?"

"Jia Yueting is bound to mess things up sooner or later... Just ignore him!"

……

The logic of fandom ultimately boils down to the same victim's fantasy: you either like me or you want to harm me.

Then the conclusion is: you don't like me, you just want to hurt me.

I haven't done anything wrong, why do you want to hurt me?

I feel so wronged!

It's just that illogical and inexplicable, yet somehow perfectly logical.

This logic is not only prevalent among fan groups, but has even influenced many production companies. Therefore, when they initiate projects and invite actors, they tend to choose popular, high-profile actors…

Because having fans generates popularity.

Popularity translates to box office success!
What's frightening is that their logic has actually influenced many producers, brainwashed investors, brainwashed the media, and even brainwashed a portion of the audience.

—No traffic means no fans, no fans means no topics, no topics means no popularity, and no popularity means no box office.

The final conclusion is that box office success depends entirely on fans, and winning box office revenue becomes a war to please fans and eliminate non-fans: everyone joins hands to fight against the imagined "haters".

Just like the producer of "General and I," who took a bunch of screenshots from Douban and said, "Those who give 'General and I' one star are all haters, because they gave 'Nirvana in Fire' and 'The Disguiser' five stars..."

What I'm saying is... is it possible that these netizens have normal aesthetic sense?

Do they simply think "The Lonely Beauty" is terrible?

By the way, the movie "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe," directed by Lu Chuan, has been released on LeTV...

He is not very immune to fame and fortune, and he does not have the self-control of Hou Hsiao-hsien and Tsai Ming-liang. He likes to take on some films that may be beyond his control.

He may seem like a cultured middle-aged man, but he is actually driven by a desire for fame.

A little poetry prodigy in lowercase…

At least Xiaodaren has a Palme d'Or to save face, but what does Luchuan have?
Named one of the world's top ten young directors by Variety?

No, what's so great about this thing?
However, "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" did well at the box office because its marketing was based on the style of "Ghost Blows Out the Light"...

The initial posters featured the words "Ghost Blows Out the Light" in very large letters, which gradually decreased in size. When the film was released, the words "Ghost Blows Out the Light" were completely removed from the posters, leaving only the four large characters "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe"...

LeTV's advertising is really amazing!
Then, "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" grossed 9135 million on its opening day, 9056 million on the second day... but dropped to 7369 million on the third day, and then declined day by day, until October 7th, when it simply dropped to 20 million per day...

Well, the National Day holiday is over, and "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" grossed 3.06 million yuan...

Then Lu Chuan said during the roadshow: "They hired a large number of online trolls to smear my movie, but it was useless and didn't have much impact on our box office!"

"Maoyan also has other movies in the same release window... not 'Lost in Hong Kong'!"

The criticism was directed at Maoyan and Xinghuo Studio...

If it's not "Lost in Hong Kong", then who else could it be?
