Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, starting with the strategy of 95 flowers to counterattack

Chapter 245 This is my sister
When the screen went completely dark and the lights came back on, the entire theater erupted in thunderous applause that lasted for a full three minutes.

In the audience, many people still had red eyes, but their faces were filled with shock and admiration.

Wang Changtian of Guangxian Media was the first to stand up, clapping loudly. He turned to Sun Zhonghuai, CEO of Tencent Pictures, and said, "This film will gross at least 1 billion yuan."

Sun Zhonghuai nodded in agreement: "To be able to make a suspense film with this kind of depth, Gu Yang is indeed no ordinary guy."

Kiwi CEO Gong Yu whispered to Fan Luyuan of Youku: "This kind of subject matter is very suitable for exclusive broadcast on the platform. Viewers will definitely watch it two or three times to dig out the details."

"President Pan, you just won the rights to 'The Twin Beauties,' so you're sure you won't be competing with us for this movie, right?"

Fan Luyuan responded with a smile: "President Gong, that's not right. Actually, I think we can cooperate and acquire the online copyright together. After all, that person at Tencent has a close relationship with Gu Yang and is very wealthy."

With just a few words, the two established a preliminary cooperation agreement.

Sitting in the second row, Yang Chaoyue was still lost in the story. Grabbing Zhang Yifan's hand, she whispered, "Oh my god, the look in Sister Tian's eyes... I'm going to have nightmares tonight..."

"And Sister Zhou, how come her acting is so good? All the artists in our company are so talented..."

"It seems my journey to becoming the number one sister is still a long one..."

"I wonder when the boss will make a movie for me too?"

Zhang Yifan: "..."

They've gotten carried away, absolutely carried away...

She was incredibly envious, but what could she do?
President Gu gave them the same opportunity to participate in the same program, and in the end, she was also selected to join the group.

However, in terms of popularity, she is worlds apart from Yang Chaoyue.

Let alone her, even the combined popularity of all the members of Rocket Girls 101, which just debuted, can't match Yang Chaoyue's current terrifying popularity.

That's really unscientific...

The moment the lights came on, Wu Jing, who was sitting in the first row, stood up abruptly, and the applause was deafening.

He invested in this film!

He turned around and winked at Guo Fan, who was diagonally behind him: "Old Guo! Did you see that? A minimum of 1 billion! It could even be 2 billion!"

"Thank goodness Gu Yang is loyal! Otherwise, you would have swindled me out of my sixty million! Hahaha..."

He was overjoyed. He had been tricked by Guo Fan into making a cameo appearance and almost invested in the film, but thankfully he invested in Gu Yang's movie instead.

Feeling great!
Guo Fan pushed up his glasses, the blue light of the end credits still reflected on the lenses: "Brother Jing, science fiction films and suspense films are different!"

"What I'm pursuing isn't box office success, but the future of Chinese science fiction films..."

"Don't give me that. The future of science fiction movies? Do you really think your movie can surpass Xiao Gu's box office?"

Guo Fan blushed slightly.

He noticed that the senior executives from China Film Group were frowning not far away, and quickly tugged at Wu Jing's sleeve: "Brother Jing, keep your voice down..."

"What are you afraid of? Hehe, you're feeling guilty, aren't you?"

"No, I have confidence in my film. You'll regret it later!"

"Regret? Hahaha, that's the funniest joke I've heard all year..."

……

After the applause subsided, the host, He Jiong, invited the creative team to the stage for an interview.

Gu Yang departed from the gloomy image of He Fei in the film, smiling and waving to the audience, but his eyes still carried a hint of the character's heaviness.

But the audience looked at him strangely... especially some of his most ardent female fans, who felt inexplicably intimidated when they saw him.

I hope he didn't sink it into the sea...

The reporter asked, "The role of He Fei is very complex. How did you prepare for it?"

Gu Yang took a deep breath: "I've read a lot of criminal psychology cases, especially those of people who appear glamorous on the surface but are twisted on the inside. The scariest thing about He Fei is that he didn't think he was wrong until the very end. He only regretted losing the chance to 'turn the tables', not that he hurt Li Muzi."

"He Fei has several scenes in the film where he has emotional outbursts, such as his madness at the gambling table and his breakdown when he sees the ultrasound image at the end. Which scene was the most difficult to act?"

"Actually, it was the scene where Li Muzi was in the cage. Although the camera didn't show my face, I had to imagine myself as He Fei, swimming away without looking back. After filming that scene, I stayed underwater for another ten seconds or so because... I suddenly couldn't breathe."

A sigh of understanding rose from the audience.

"There's a line in the movie: 'You killed the person who loved you most with your own hands.' Do you think He Fei truly loved Li Muzi?"

Gu Yang was silent for a moment: "What he loves is the redemption that Li Muzi represents... money, status, and the chance to start anew. But true love? No, a gambler only loves himself."

Tian Xiwei nodded gently from the side and added, "That's why Shen Man's revenge is so ruthless. She wants He Fei to taste what it's like to be schemed against."

After the show, the theater managers quickly exchanged opinions.

"At least 50% of the screenings will be allocated on the first day," a Wanda Pictures executive asserted.

"The word-of-mouth has already started to spread, and tomorrow's trending topics will definitely be all about this movie." A data analyst from Maoyan Entertainment tapped rapidly on his tablet.

On Weibo, hashtags such as #TheDisappearanceOfHerHasAreSoEffective#, #GuYang'sActingSkillIsGodlike#, #TianXiWei'sRevengeIsSoSatisfying#, and #ZhouYeIsAbsolutelyBeautiful# have already topped the trending list.

Liu Haochun hid behind a Roman column in the VIP passage, her fingernails almost digging into the flesh of her arm.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Her goal was simple: since she was here, she had to let him know!
When Gu Yang passes by, say hello before you go!

She rehearsed what she was going to say in her mind, her eyes fixed on the approaching crowd in the distance.

Wang Changtian's hearty laughter rang out first: "Director Gu, Tencent wants to discuss an exclusive documentary..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Haochun had already darted to the center of the passage like a startled deer.

"Director Gu!" Her voice trembled slightly, but she still managed a smile. "Congratulations on the film's great success! Your performance was truly breathtaking..."

She forgot all the lines she had carefully prepared, and all that remained was a pair of wet eyes staring blankly at Gu Yang.

Gu Yang paused in his steps.

The little girl in front of me had her hair tied in a simple ponytail, and her white dress trembled slightly in the night breeze, like a lily of the valley that hadn't yet bloomed.

She was trembling with nervousness, and her expressive eyes looked like she was about to cry at any moment...

“This is…” Gong Yu raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Gu Yang couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the little girl in front of him, who was so nervous that she was almost curled up in a ball.

He reached out and gently ruffled her hair, his gesture as natural as if he were treating his own younger sister: "Why are you still calling me Teacher Gu? It sounds so formal."

Liu Haochun froze, the heat from above making her ear tips instantly burn.

Gu Yang turned to the platform executives beside him, his tone casual yet serious: "Let me introduce you. This girl is my sister, the female lead in director Zhang Yimou's new film 'One Second'."

He paused, then added with a smile, "Don't let her young age fool you, she's incredibly dedicated to acting. Even Director Zhang praised her for her talent."
