Entertainment: Starting with a complete collapse

Early in the morning.

The exterior of the filming location for "New World".

Countless reporters started staking out Lin Wan because of her long post last night. They knew that big news would come when Lin Wan came out, and here it is!

"Huang Min is here"

Someone shouted, and all the reporters immediately swarmed around.

Two years ago, Lin Wan made many of them receive substantial bonuses, and some of them were even promoted. Unexpectedly, not long after Lin Wan was released from prison, she started targeting Huang Min again.

They really are a model couple in the entertainment industry; they enjoy their meal together and don't forget to invite these reporters over for some soup.

"Director Huang, what's your opinion on Lin Wan's short essay?"

A reporter asked hurriedly.

"Finished watching"

Dressed casually, Huang Min smiled and said, "Judging from the content structure, if it were made into a movie, it probably wouldn't have high box office returns. If we want it to be successful, I personally think we could talk about some of my personal experiences and feelings."

As he spoke, Huang Min turned and looked around, his face suddenly turning cold. He said, "Wow, you guys are something else! We didn't see this many of you here when we were promoting 'A Love Letter to Grandma,' but you've all come because of a short essay. I've noticed some viewers call you paparazzi, and that's not an exaggeration. The movie's out, and you're not interested. Sometimes we send invitations to your company, and you're too lazy to come. Today, you've all come because of some personal matter. Is this your professionalism?!"

"Will you forgive Lin Wan!?"

A reporter asked.

"My company will be releasing a movie called 'Love is Not Blind' on August 1st. Unlike the simple and unadorned love story in 'Letters to Grandma,' this movie revolves around an accidental encounter between urban men and women, and it's about the things you encounter in the workplace."

Huang Min spoke up.

"Director Huang, what I'm asking is..."

What you ask isn't important; what's important is what I want to say.

Huang Min glanced at the reporter and said, "I know what you're thinking about coming here so early in the morning—nothing more than a promotion and a raise. But what I'm thinking about is promoting the company's next movie. We need to make a compromise. Do you think we'll compromise?"

When faced with Huang Min's question, the bespectacled reporter chuckled twice.

That's obvious!

How could a self-media worker like him possibly make Huang Min, a seventh-generation director, compromise? It's just that this guy said it so directly, which did make him feel a little embarrassed.

Even after all this time, they're still so aggressive.

"Director Huang, 'Love is Not Blind' seems to be Kim Ji-mi's first film after transitioning from an action actress. As an artist under Dong Sheng Film Industry, Li Tian successfully transitioned with 'A Letter to Grandma.' Judging from your performance, it seems you don't want the company's artists to keep making action films, right?"

A female reporter asked the question.

:

"right"

Huang Min nodded and said, "It's possible that Kim Ji-mi and Lee Tien's action scenes are more entertaining, but actors not only have to handle different types of films, but also need to consider their own health. Filming action scenes is indeed very taxing on the body. After filming one movie, actors need a period of rest and adjustment to their physical condition. In this way, when they film action scenes again, the effect they present will definitely be better than if they keep filming. Of course, I also hope that everyone will support them in filming other types of movies. As for whether or not to forgive... don't ask me that question. It's meaningless. We're practically strangers now. Since we're strangers, there's no point in talking about forgiveness. Let's just live our own lives. Life is long. If we can avoid seeing each other, then it's better not to."

"Director Huang, do you mean you won't forgive Lin Wan...?"

Did I say that!?

Before the male reporter could finish speaking, Huang Min said coldly, "I've noticed that you reporters not only like to take things out of context, but you also seem to have hearing problems. I said there's no question of forgiveness or not, but you insist on speculating. If you like to overthink things so much, why be a reporter? You might as well quit your job and go home to be an informant at the village entrance."

The male reporter, who had been reprimanded by Huang Min, was feeling depressed.

Normally, it's one thing to say he takes things out of context, but Huang Min's words clearly meant "unforgiveness," and when he said it, this guy not only denied it but also teased him.

"Director Huang, what are your box office expectations for the movie 'Love is Not Blind'?"

The female reporter asked again.

"Aside from 'The Terror Live,' I do have a strong obsession with box office performance. I don't have any expectations for any of my subsequent films. If I had to say what I expected, it would only be the audience's opinion of the film."

After Huang Min finished speaking, he waved to the surroundings and said, "Alright, stop blocking the road, I'm going to work on set."

"Director Huang..."

"Director Huang..."

Some reporters who hadn't yet asked questions panicked when they saw him about to enter the set, but were stopped by the crew members. Huang Min pretended not to hear them.

If it weren't for the opportunity to help promote "Love is Not Blind," Huang Min wouldn't have stayed so long. Not long after getting up, Su Qing sent him a screenshot of Lin Wan's short essay.

To Huang Min's surprise, this woman has become quite shrewd.

Don't underestimate the power of short essays. If used properly, they can have unexpected effects, such as arousing sympathy from some female viewers after sincere repentance.

It's just that what she did a couple of years ago was too much; even women who are good at empathy can't empathize with her. Otherwise, this little essay might have actually helped her career recover a bit.

Men can curse all they want.

Women are different. Even if their wife dies naked in another man's bed, they can still ask, "Don't you have any responsibility?!" This shows how strong a woman's empathy for another woman is.

Therefore, Lin Wan's choice to write short essays is a wise move. Even if it seems to have no effect at the moment, as long as she does it a few more times, female viewers may start to empathize with her. Perhaps... empathy is fake, and more likely it is because they have also done wrong. This is a good opportunity to further expand the flexibility of women's "mistakes".

Huang Min has already asked Su Qing to find out who is helping Lin Wan with her plans.

Nobody is best.

If someone can come up with the idea of ​​using a short essay to guide public opinion, it proves that this person is quite extraordinary. If there are still people helping her, then Huang Min really admires Lin Wan. Two years ago, when he released the photos, Wang Jing came to help her under those circumstances. After being released from prison, there are still people willing to help her. This is a blessing from heaven!

:

As soon as Huang Min entered the film set, his phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was Li Yan.

Huang Min tapped the answer button, and before Li Yan could speak, Huang Min laughed and said, "Was the little essay thing your idea?!"

"I'm calling you to let you know that this matter has nothing to do with me or Yang Dong."

Li Yan said earnestly.

"Not you?"

Huang Min was somewhat skeptical.

"You know me, I can be a bit stubborn."

Li Yan replied, "But I'm willing to take responsibility for my actions. If I taught Lin Wan to do it, I would definitely admit it. If I didn't do it, I won't admit it."

"If it's not you, then who is it?"

Huang Min laughed and asked, "Don't tell me this was my ex-wife's idea. I heard the food in prison isn't very good. How can eating like that increase intelligence?! Tell me! Who gave her this idea? I'm fine with it."

"I had Yang Dong ask her, and it's true that she came up with it herself."

Li Yan laughed and said, "Didn't you read her little essay? Every word she wrote was about how we met and how we got married. It's no exaggeration to say that it was very sincere. She even expressed her desire to open the door for you. She's not just opening the door, she's practically opening her legs for you, welcoming you back to the place you used to know so well..."

Huang Min hung up the phone before Li Yan could finish speaking.

He still believed Li Yan's words quite a bit. She said that it wasn't her who came up with the idea for Lin Wan, so it definitely wasn't. The main reason was that Huang Min's impression of this woman was that she was the type who dared to take responsibility for her actions. Especially since this woman was so smart, she couldn't possibly not know the consequences of helping Lin Wan and going against him.

"Prison really does toughen people up."

Huang Min sighed softly and then threw himself into his work.

A woman who used to be quite stupid has actually learned to write essays after two years of labor reform, as if she has entered a literature academy for further studies.

Now that he knew no one would help her, Huang Min stopped paying attention to her.

This woman isn't generating much buzz anymore. She might have gotten some attention from netizens because of this short essay she posted after being released from prison, but the buzz from such an essay will cool down quickly, in two or three days at most. But if he and she continue to fight, that's when Lin Wan will truly gain more attention.

Just like Huang Min thought.

After he chose to remain silent, Lin Wan's short essay quickly lost attention.

July 20th.

Twenty days after its release, the movie "Love Letter to Grandma" officially surpassed 2 billion yuan in total box office revenue. On the same day, Dongsheng Pictures released a promotional trailer for "Love is Not Blind".

Because the female lead is Kim Ji-mi, the promotional trailer did receive some feedback from viewers after it was released, but the number was not high.

:

Compared to Li Tian.

Kim Ji-mi embodies the "witch" archetype even more strongly.

"Is this supposed to be a contemporary romance movie?! Why do I keep getting this feeling that the female lead is going to wipe out everyone on the other side?"

"I thought it was 'The Witch 2,' but it's just a romance movie. Who would dare to date a witch? Isn't that just asking for trouble?!"

"Not interested"

......

Judging solely from the audience reactions revealed in the promotional trailers, the movie "Love is Not Blind" seemed destined for failure even before its release. However, after the Li Tian incident, industry insiders are no longer in a hurry to draw conclusions.

We'll only know for sure after the movie is released.

After all, this is a script written by Hwang Min. Lee Cheon was able to successfully transform from a new generation action actor with "A Letter to Grandma," so Kim Ji-mi might be able to as well.

"Why!"

A sigh escaped Director Feng's lips: "Two movies are being released during this summer season, first 'Grandma's Story,' then 'Love is Not Blind.' And that Huang Min kid's company, besides 'New World,' which he's currently directing and starring in, has two more films shelved, making that three. Now Dong Sheng Film Industry's operations are completely sprawling. From now on, no matter which release window it's in, we might run into Huang Min kid's movies, either directly or indirectly."

Rubbing his head, Feng Chengyu sighed, "Movies used to be an art form, but now they're just an industrial assembly line. A company can produce several movies a year. What else is that but an assembly line? I hope Lin Wan can step up her game! Her little essay was pretty good; it even moved me. If she can move that kid Huang Min, that would be even better. Go back to your life and make your own movies. Stop with the movie assembly line. If they really do that, who can compete with them? Mass-producing low-budget movies with tens of millions in production costs, producing so many a year, one hit and they'll make it all back. What are we directors supposed to do?! The movie market is only so big. If they eat it all, what will we eat?! They're eating meat, but they can't expect me to be rid of hemorrhoids! It's too much."
