Chapter 237 Cheng Cheng: It's revenge, it's fun
"Hahahaha, Brother Frog is awesome, curse these idiots to death, they keep saying Nanning Nanning all day long, it makes me sick!"
"The yellow-haired guy outside is extremely safe, but my father at home is extremely dangerous. The old man delivering water is extremely dangerous, but the bar at night is especially safe. I feel uneasy in some men's subways, but I can come and go freely in toilets that are all men. The empty square is full of dangers, and the noisy hotel makes me feel like I'm back home."
"If you see Nanning on the street, just run into the bar immediately and everything will be fine."
"Frog's summary of these people is so insightful. In the movie, Frog talked about human nature, shoe education, self-salvation, character growth, and social evaluation. In short, you can interpret this movie from many angles, but they only saw the two words man and woman."
"After all, my brain capacity is limited! I can't accept more complicated content."
"It's really sad for the Tianxia film industry to have these audiences."
"Who would think about that when watching a movie? I just felt that the male lead was really awesome, he was decisive and ruthless, and the part where he killed the top guy really made me excited.
And the No.1 is worthy of being the No.1, almost fooling the male lead. The reversal is very very exciting! Cheng Cheng's acting skills are added points, super handsome, and his chest muscles fascinated me. Who knows!
There are also interpretations after watching the movie, eliminating the three evils, greed, anger and ignorance, the first one is greed, the second one is anger, and the male protagonist's ignorance. The interesting thing is that all of them are resolved by the male protagonist himself. This idea is simply too high, and they completely denied the movie for such a ridiculous reason. They also said to delete all the lines about Cheng Xiaomei. When Wang Hong heard this, do you think she would slap those people a few times? "
"How do you define someone who stares at others all the time?"
"It's subjective and the final right of interpretation belongs to her."
"Brother Pink Frog is still cool! He features a star with three values!"
"Who is Cheng Cheng? Is he a lunatic? If you scold him, he won't care about you @娱乐圈阿和, how dare you touch Cheng Cheng?"
"Drinking some foreign urine shows that you are arrogant, and you are faking a car with Cheng Cheng. Your life and death are unpredictable @娱乐圈阿和, learn to be a good boy in your next life and start over~"
"That's right, I'm annoyed by this. If you want to use logic and plot to make a point, I would think you have some brains and it's within the scope of reasonable discussion, but you keep talking about men and women. It's obvious that you're not a serious movie watcher. You learned some words but use them randomly. Your smooth brain can't absorb other knowledge. Your 200-pound body can only produce 180 pounds of oil, and the remaining 20 pounds is water in your head."
"Tianxia Movies will be ruined by these idiots sooner or later!"
"Cheng Cheng: I dare to scold people that other directors dare not scold! I dare to light the fire of war that other directors dare not light! I love Cheng Cheng's crazy feeling that he would not be in the entertainment industry tomorrow!"
"Spicy and refreshing! This time it's spicy and refreshing!"
"Protect our output!"
"Could it be because Brother Frog has the confidence? You know, he came back from the bottom of the valley after his house collapsed! At that time, he had almost no fans, but he relied on the reputation of the movie to make a comeback? He is a person who speaks with his works, so he has the confidence to say things like 'If you have the ability, don't touch my work'. As expected, people with ability are tough. People like those young actors who rely on fans for a living can only be puppets."
"It's really more painful than killing them if Frog doesn't let them watch his works, hahaha. First Love, Those Years, Chinese Paladin, Love Apartment, King of Masked Singer, Detective Chinatown, The Little Prince, The Internationale, Vast Skies, Little Dimples, Fantasy. Frog's works cover at least 50% of Tianxia netizens, not 80% of them. If they really aren't allowed to watch them, can they bear it?"
"If you can't stand it, you can only accept the title of 'bitch'. Anyway, Brother Frog has made it very clear, 'I released a work, and you come to listen and watch like dogs! How despicable must you be to do such a thing?' Brother Frog knows how to humiliate them!"
"They must be severely humiliated. I guess they didn't expect Frog Brother to react so strongly, right?"
"When it comes to issues of gender, Frog is the type that gets angry easily. I believe what he said. Audiences can criticize his movies from the perspective of plot and logic, but he absolutely cannot accept people making trouble over gender issues."
"I've made the right choice to be a fan of Pink Frog in this life!"
People working in the industry were also very happy.
Lu Zhuofeng was smiling because he had been scolded about Nanning more than once. Of course, this didn't happen in the early years. These rhythms were brought up around 2020.
Some said he "why can't a woman be the protagonist", others said he "is extremely obsessed with chastity and particularly loves to make jokes about crotch matters on the big screen".
At first he didn't care much about it, whoever wants to curse can curse, but later he found that it didn't work, these "curses" actually affected the movie ratings and box office.
So he started to pay attention to this aspect in the movies, avoiding the points that they criticized, but found that it still didn't work.
They still cursed as they should, and they cursed from all kinds of angles and in all kinds of ways.
Lu Zhuofeng became more and more restrained. He talked with many colleagues and found that others felt the same way.
It's still good for him to be a big director. If some new directors who are just starting out were to bear these stigmas and be labeled, it would directly ruin their entire career.
Later, Lu Zhuofeng discovered that no matter how he changed it or how he catered to their preferences, it was useless. His original sin was that he was a male director: he is a male director, so what's wrong with them scolding you?
So, when he saw Cheng Cheng posting these curses on Weibo, he felt relieved:
Yes, we have been careful about our reputation over the years and dared not take action, but there are always people who don’t. Is there anyone who can punish you now?
Lu Zhuofeng feels that it is not a bad thing to have a madman like Cheng Cheng in the domestic entertainment industry. At least he will take care of things that he doesn't like!
Gong Guangming clapped his hands in his office and said:
"Okay, okay!"
The investor asked, "Master Gong, what are you so happy about?"
Master Gong said: "Director Cheng Cheng posted a Weibo post. I think he did a good job and scolded well."
Even someone as humble as Master Gong was so excited, which shows that this group has aroused public anger for many years.
After reading Cheng Cheng's Weibo, the investor took a deep breath and said, "Hiss, he is really crazy. He even dares to mess with them. Master Gong, we can't get involved. We should just watch the fun."
Master Gong was a little displeased: "General, what Director Cheng Cheng said is good for the entire industry. How can you say that?"
"Oh my," the investor said anxiously, "Master Gong, you don't know the current Internet environment. Although only a small number of people are involved in the trial of Director Cheng Cheng in Nanning, they will inspire a lot of people. Some things are not as important as a few ounces on the scale, and they can't be stopped even if they are weighed a thousand pounds."
Master Gong waved his hand:
"You don't have to say anything. I plan to stand up and support him."
Investor: “But this will have an impact on our project.”
Master Gong said: "That's easy, I just need to change investors."
"Uh——" Before the investor could react, Master Gong served the tea:
"see a visitor out."
-
A studio in Shanghai.
He Xiuhe was completely stunned.
She didn't understand. Didn't she just post a Weibo? She had already done a lot of good things before and praised "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" for being good, so why did Cheng Cheng still end up in trouble?
Besides, Cheng Cheng is an international director, an Asian superstar who has performed across many countries, a world-class best-selling author, and a young president who is in charge of an entertainment company. Is it necessary for him to bother with her?
Don’t you think it’s a drop in price?
She was speechless!
It’s not like she hasn’t scolded other directors before, and other directors didn’t take it seriously, right?
And this shouldn’t be taken seriously!
My scolding won't hurt you at all, is it worth it?
The most important thing is that Cheng Cheng called her name, which made her extremely panicked!
"Ah He, what should we do?" asked her best friend Xiao Bao.
He Xiuhe was like an ant on hot pot: What should I do?
How did she know!
Xiao Bao: "How about we call Mr. Li now? Ask him to help pass the message to say that we just want to take advantage of the popularity and have no intention of offending you?" "Okay! Call Mr. Li!" He Xiuhe reacted quickly.
Li Bin is the boss of her MCN company. Li Bin's MCN company has many accounts across multiple platforms including Douyin, Bilibili, Kuaishou, Weibo, etc. It is one of the largest MCN agencies in the country, and there are five or six bloggers with tens of millions of fans alone.
After dialing Li Bin's number, He Xiuhe quickly explained her purpose, and Li Bin was stunned:
"No, Xiuhe, you want me to pass a message to Cheng Cheng? Do you think too highly of me?"
Li Bin is worth tens of billions, but there is no sense of incongruity when he said this at this moment.
In front of Cheng Cheng, Li Bin is just a little Karami.
Give Cheng Cheng a message, what are you doing?
He Xiuhe said anxiously, "Boss Li, as the CEO, I know you can definitely get in touch with Cheng Cheng. I beg you, just tell him that I didn't mean it, and I can compensate him. He can set any conditions he wants."
Li Bin said, "Xiu He, it's not that I won't help you, it's that I really can't help you. You've caused a big mess this time. Why did you mess with him for no reason? I don't even dare to mess with him. He's really scary when he gets mad, so you better pray for the best. I'll hang up now because I have something else to do."
After saying that, Li Bin couldn't wait to hang up the phone.
He Xiuhe listened to the beeping sound on the phone and fell into despair:
Even Li Bin has given up on her, what should she do?
Is there any help?
But the despair was not over yet. Soon, the manufacturer I was in contact with also called:
"Ms. Ah He, in view of your public opinion, our manufacturer has carefully considered and decided to cancel our cooperation. Please understand."
He Xiuhe was choked: "No, we have already discussed it, and I have already written the copy. Why do you say that you can cancel the cooperation? Impossible! It can't be canceled so easily."
Compared to He Xiuhe's rage, the other party was much calmer:
"Ms. Ah He, please understand that as a responsible company, we must be responsible to the public, consumers and all partners. As for your personal misconduct, we believe that it is necessary and justified to cancel our cooperation with you.
We understand that this decision may cause you inconvenience and loss, but we feel that the most important thing for you right now is to think about what to do now.”
He Xiuhe collapsed and shouted:
"What is inappropriate behavior? Is it inappropriate for me to comment on a movie from the perspective of the movie and women?"
Opposite: "I think you should talk to Director Cheng Cheng about this."
The person on the other end hung up.
Then, several manufacturers that we frequently cooperated with called and asked to terminate the cooperation.
"It's over! It's over!"
He Xiuhe cried and cursed:
"Fuck you, you all bully the weak and fear the strong!! Cheng Cheng deserves to die, you all deserve to die even more than Cheng Cheng!!!"
She rushed to the computer and typed a string of words: "@ChengCheng, a film director, personally stepped in to block someone's words. I've never seen such a thing before. Can't Chinese male directors listen to a word of criticism? Without an open and tolerant attitude, how can we catch up with world cinema? Sadly, even the most basic freedom of speech is gone in the Chinese film industry!"
He Xiuhe's idea is very simple:
it is good!
If you, Cheng Cheng, want me to die, then I will risk my life!
I'm going to take the black and red route and fight you to the end!
You can't kill me anyway!
As long as I can get the traffic, no matter whether it is bad reputation or good reputation, I can make money!
But as soon as she clicked send, a line of text popped up on the screen: "Sorry, your current account is abnormal. Please eliminate account risks before sending."
He Xiuhe panicked. She opened the backstage and found that her account had been blocked!
The reasons for the ban are:
Provoke XB opposition!
When I opened the private messages, I found that they were all scolding her. Not only the black people and men scolded her, but women also scolded her:
"'This movie deserves xx points, but there are xxx problems, the photography is xxx, the actors are xxx, the plot is xxx, the theme is xxx', this is called expressing an opinion; even a woman like me can't stand watching this."
"It's disgusting that you have to bring up confrontation just to watch a movie!"
"How can a normal narrative from the perspective of a man and a woman be elevated to this level? Are you a jerk?"
In the final analysis, a certain group in China dare not break away from Cheng Cheng, because Cheng Cheng has so many works, including movies, novels, TV series, variety shows, songs, and everything else. It is impossible for them not to watch Cheng Cheng's works. Moreover, the official is behind Cheng Cheng. He is now a flagship figure in cultural exports. Who dares to offend him?
Therefore, even if Cheng Cheng attacked them and scolded them, they did not dare to break up with Cheng Cheng.
So, they could only turn around and blame He Xiuhe, saying that she had nothing to do, caused so much trouble, and destroyed the harmony between them and Cheng Cheng.
In fact, do they really know right from wrong?
Of course not, it’s just a matter of interests. If scolding Cheng Cheng is okay, they would even follow He Xiuhe to scold Cheng Cheng.
But isn’t the situation on Cheng Cheng’s side now?
So He Xiuhe was miserable:
Men scolded her, women scolded her, her boss gave up on her, her sponsor cancelled the cooperation with her, and most importantly, Weibo blocked her account. The root cause of all this happened, in the final analysis, was only one reason:
No one can afford to mess with Cheng Cheng!
On Cheng Cheng's side, Jiang Wang was complaining:
"Why would you bother with a small self-media blogger? It has affected our movie box office. If it were you, you should just contact Weibo and block her account."
Cheng Cheng said, "Do you think I am on the same level as her? I am using her to scold all of her kind, scolding her as birds of a feather! Let the Chinese Internet see the true faces of these people, so that they can no longer be so rampant."
Jiang Wang: "But there could have been a safer way. Why did you have to make such a big fuss?"
Cheng Cheng snorted, "I just want to make such a big fuss. I won't feel comfortable unless it's a small matter."
Jiang Wang said earnestly, "But she is just a small blogger, and you are an international director. If you personally go to the stage, it will lower your status."
Cheng Cheng: "This is not within my consideration. Anyone who targets me will be killed. It's not like I haven't sent some bloggers to jail before. Not to mention bloggers, I will punish even a single netizen if he provokes me! To me, there is no distinction between big and small enemies!"
"Really..." Jiang Wang was helpless, "Anyway, don't make trouble again next time."
Cheng Cheng was unhappy: "What are you afraid of? I haven't scolded enough yet. I have to name several bloggers one by one!"
Jiang Wang was frightened: "Don't scold me, don't scold me, our movie is still in theaters!"
Cheng Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Uncle Jiang, do you think I was joking when I said I don't care about the box office? I'm not afraid even if the movie is taken off the shelves now."
"I know you're not afraid." Jiang Wang wiped a cold sweat. Cheng Cheng is already very busy collecting copyright fees, but the problem is -
"I'm scared!" Jiang Wang said, "Take it easy, Xiaocheng~"
Cheng Cheng was finally persuaded.
But it was not Jiang Wang who persuaded Cheng Cheng to stay, but the Radio and Television Bureau. The leader of the Radio and Television Bureau personally called Cheng Cheng.
Cheng Cheng is now the leading young director in Tianxia. Not only the film industry is looking forward to him, but the higher-ups are also looking forward to him. Naturally, they don’t want him to get into trouble because of domestic affairs. So, under the persuasion of the radio and television, Cheng Cheng at least did not continue to torture netizens.
Next few days:
On January 1, the second day of its release, "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" rose instead of falling, with a single-day box office of 2 million!
On January 1, the third day of its release, "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" reversed its decline again, with a single-day box office of 3 million! At the same time, the total box office of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" exceeded 3.46 billion, achieving the billion achievement.
On January 1, the fourth day of its release, "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" reversed its three consecutive declines and achieved a single-day box office of 4 million!
With the tacit understanding of many parties, Cheng Cheng's quarrel with netizens was as if it had never happened. Except for a blogger named Ah He who disappeared, it did not have any impact on the box office of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils"...
