As soon as the statement came out, the public was in an uproar.
Such methods are commonplace no matter in the TV drama or movie market. To put it bluntly, those works with equal strength just added some gimmicks to themselves.
Because the public doesn't really care about the achievements of a work, and when a certain work starts to use a certain title to market and hype itself, and the lie is told a thousand times, it becomes true. If you talk too much, the audience will think that this work is really so good.
"One Billion Robbery" now announces that it is the box office champion of the Chinese Valentine's Day schedule, in fact, it is also to leave the public with a preconceived impression that this film is better than "Shit Shovel Officer".
As for the real situation, that is already a matter of the future.
With this title, I will give myself some more hype, and when the final movie is released, I will also have an explanation to the company.
But for those fans, especially Mei Zihan's fans, it was simply shameless for the other party to do so.
"Take care of yourself. It's only 6:00 p.m., and there are still six hours before the end of the day. Isn't it too embarrassing to announce that you are the box office champion so early?"
"Damn it, I went to buy ten more movie tickets for "The Shit Shoveler"."
"To be honest, they are all big productions, and the box office is so high. Don't you think it's a bit low?"
In addition to these voices of doubt, fans of the movie and movie actors reveled under this statement, sprinkled flowers and congratulated everywhere, and couldn't wait to stamp "The Billion Robbery" as the box office champion of the Valentine's Day schedule on Chinese Valentine's Day.
As soon as the draft of "One Billion Heist" came out, Mei Zihan's side was bombarded wildly.
Really, what does the other party's draft have to do with him? If you want to bomb, you should also bomb Xiao Qian, the star of "One Billion Heist", not him.
Mei Zihan wanted to scold his mother, but those who called him really cared about him, so Mei Zihan could only choke on the words that came to his lips.
"I know, isn't it just a draft? Anyone with a discerning eye can't see it? As long as the box office of "The Shit Shovel Officer" is better, my performance can be seen by more audiences, and the other party can do as he pleases! "Mei Zihan said this sincerely. But it sounded like self-defeating comfort to the caller.
Mei Zihan had to explain one by one, and he almost swore that he really didn't care, so he muddled the topic away.
"Brother Liu, it's fine for you to say that Wen Mingjiang cares about my box office results and drafts, why did director Yang Xingge call me? He is the director of "The Shit Shoveler", shouldn't he be more angry than me? "As a result, Yang Xingge was fine. Instead, he was worried that Mei Zihan would be angry, so he called to persuade him.
Does he seem such a stingy person
"Because you are the leading actor and also an investor. Yang Xingge has already received enough benefits, and he just cares about you." Liu Tian said without looking up, focusing on his Weibo. If Mei Zihan was willing to lower his head, he would find that what Liu Tian was looking at was the draft of "The Billion Heist".
"Actually, I really don't care. After all, the box office of "The Shit Shoveler" has already exceeded expectations, and it's only a matter of time before it surpasses "The Billion Heist". But after all, I can’t let me get all the good things, right, let them post if they want to, those who should believe will always believe, and those who don’t will always not believe.”
There are so many people looking for troubles who compare Mei Zihan with the young students online from time to time. Sometimes Mei Zihan is trampled so hard that it is impossible to watch, but Mei Zihan is not angry either.
"What you said makes sense. You should prepare well for how to lead your ten students to perform next time. I'll take care of the rest." Liu Tianyi said so, then stood up and left.
Mei Zihan wasn't angry, but he was.
The reason why "One Billion Heist" chose this time to release the championship announcement is simply because the current cumulative box office of "Billion Heist" is higher than that of "The Shit Shoveler", and posting this is not considered fraudulent. Originally, Liu Tianyi didn't intend to make much publicity, so if he made money, he would keep a low profile, so he didn't need to be known by so many people. But now his mind has changed.
Then a wonderful scene happened.
"One Billion Heist" here just announced that it is the box office champion on Valentine's Day, and "Shit Shoveler" on the other side announced that it is the highest single-day box office record on Valentine's Day; "Billion Heist" here is not to be outdone , came another draft that broke the 500 million mark the fastest, breaking the record for Chinese-language feature films; the official Weibo of "Shit Shoveling Officer" laughed, and United Artists released a poster with the highest box office box office record for an urban comedy movie.
This is really you coming and going, pinching each other in the air.
Even if they haven't interacted positively at all, they can still feel the smoke of gunpowder and the sense of hostility that is on the verge of breaking out.
These melons come one after another, and there is almost no chance for the people who eat melons to switch channels.
Of course, Xiao Qian's fans clashed with Mei Zihan's fans.
"Hurry up and watch, hurry up and watch the official Weibo of the two movies and the artists are pinching each other."
"What kind of titles are these? The first few are reliable, but the latter ones are completely incomprehensible!"
"I like the art of "Shit Shovel Officer" very much. Her posters are really textured and fast."
"The promotional copy of "The Billion Heist" is also very good, one joke after another."
"It's not bad, you haven't seen the fans of the two leading actors, it's called a wind and water."
"Although Mei Zihan's status is not as high as Xiao Qian's, she is still very popular. She doesn't make trouble on that kind of public platform, but just picks each other up on the fan's own forum. The score is serious. The scene of the accident was a good show. .”
…
Chen Juntao and Chu Leqiu have been following this incident from beginning to end.
The sense of threat Mei Zihan brought to them became more and more serious after the box office performance of "Shit Shovel Officer" was so impressive.
He was able to confront Xiao Qian head-on without losing but succeeded in counterattacking. Apart from the factors of the movie itself, Mei Zihan's performance in the movie was actually better than Xiao Qian's.
This has also become a reason why audiences who have watched the two movies prefer "Shit Shovel Officer".
And Mei Zihan's performance is even more eye-catching. Although Xiao Qian is the best actor, he feels that acting is no longer the focus of his life. The performance in this movie can only be said to be quite satisfactory, there is nothing outstanding.
This is really wronging Xiao Qian.
What is the virtue of a commercial film? Just ask Mei Zihan and he will know it.
When Mei Zihan was filming "Black and White Detective", his performance in it could not be compared with "Shit Shovel Officer".
Big investment and big production with an all-star lineup means that even Xiao Qian, who is the best actor, has no way to dictate his own script. Even if he performed brilliantly in some scenes, as long as the director didn't edit this clip into the movie, it would be of no use at all. But Mei Zihan's side is different. He is the core character of the whole movie, and all the movies serve him alone. Under such circumstances, the audience will naturally only remember Mei Zihan in "The Shit Shovel Officer", not Xiao Qian in "The Billion Robbery".
In this battle, Xiao Qian suffered a crushing defeat. Even though he, as an actor, has the capital to make bad movies, it is still a big blow to him. After all, "The Billion Heist" can never be It's a bad movie.
"The only thing to be thankful for now is that Mei Zihan hasn't published any promotional drafts from beginning to end." Chu Leqiu's manager couldn't help but sigh, "Otherwise, Xiao Qian would lose face even more."
"The box office performance of "The Shit Shoveler" is already good enough. There is absolutely no need for Mei Zihan to step on others. After all, Xiao Qian has a deep foundation in the entertainment industry. It is only a movie, and he has nothing to lose, let alone "" In fact, the box office performance of "The Billion Heist" is still profitable." Chu Leqiu said with a faint smile.
"I heard that Mei Zihan is now preparing to join the group and continue filming his web series. I never thought that he would continue to fulfill his contract to film that web series when the box office of "Shit Shovel Officer" is so high. "Chu Leqiu's agent said again.
When filming the first season, audiences and industry insiders felt that Mei Zihan made such a stupid decision. Although it was later proved that this web drama had a high number of on-demand shows, discrimination against web dramas was still everywhere in the industry.
Mei Zihan is even more popular now than when he was filming the first season of "Fu Shen", but he still came to film according to the original contract.
This kind of behavior can't be regarded as smart, but it makes some investors who have suffered from the temporary tearing up of stars and contract terms feel very at ease.
If they invited Mei Zihan to star in a TV or movie, there would be no need to worry that Mei Zihan would tear up the contract.
It is not just a matter of experience, but also a matter of character.
Then Mei Zihan must be a big "excellent" in the eyes of these investors!
"Mei Zihan's next movie, do you have any idea?" Chu Leqiu asked suddenly.
"It seems to be a movie adapted from a drama co-produced with the Qinglong Repertory Troupe. The name is "The Great Devil."
"This drama has won many awards before, and it will definitely win many awards when it is adapted into a movie. Mei Zihan first used "Shit Shovel Officer" to refresh his box office results, then he should use a slightly later I want to show off my acting skills in boring films, and increase the possibility of winning awards." Chu Leqiu himself came here in this way, so he can make a good guess about Mei Zihan's choice.
"It can't go on like this." Chu Leqiu sighed slightly, "You find a chance and give me the script of the movie version of "The Great Devil."
"Do you want to take over the show?" The manager was a little excited.
"If the quality of the script of "Big Devil" is not bad, I'd be interested in filming it."
