It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 1282: "Heroes Emerge Young"? "Flowers in the Dust"?
"Hu Ge, Ma Yili, Tang Yan, Xin Zhilei, You Benchang, Yu Rongtai..."

On Weibo, as soon as the cast list of "Fang Hua" was announced, it directly topped the hot search list and sparked a lot of heated discussion!
Especially Wu Yifan's fans, they all rushed to Wang Jiawei's Weibo and expressed strong doubts and dissatisfaction.

"Didn't we agree before that we would use our brother Wu Yifan? Why did it become Hu Ge again? Is his acting skill as good as my brother's?"

"In terms of popularity, popularity, and traffic, how can my brother Wu Yifan not compare to Hu Ge? Why do you want to abandon my brother?"

"Oh, the film and television industry is really deep. Even the resources that have been secured can still be snatched away?"

"I've always felt that Hu Ge is a very pretentious person. What is he showing off for? He's already an old man, but he's still marketing his looks all day long. He's really shameless."

"I strongly request that my brother continue to be activated! Hugo, get out of here!"

I don't know who broke the news, saying that Hu Ge snatched Wu Yifan's resources, and said that the role of "Abao" should go to the latter.

And those fans actually believed it, and said that they would never sit there and wait for death!

So, the war of words broke out.

Hu Ge’s fans are naturally not vegetarians.

Seeing his idol being scolded, he fought back, albeit late but eventually, and showed no fear at all.

"We Peppers are just old, not dead!"

Under this banner, Hu Ge's group of post-90s fans directly started a battle with Wu Yifan's post-00s fans. For a while, it was very lively with fans coming and going!
"So, the male lead of "Fang Hua" was originally decided to be Wu Yifan?"

At this moment, Ren Zhonglun happened to be right beside him, so Chen Fei didn't need to ask anyone else.

After all, as one of the investors of this drama, Ren Zhonglun must know the inside story.

"That's right." Ren Zhonglun was obviously well aware of the latest developments on the Internet and nodded without hesitation.

He even explained: "When this project was finalized, Wu Yifan was still an artist under Yaolai. In a sense, he was also a member of the interest community of the Shanghai film and television circle.

At that time, his popularity was at its peak, and his image and traffic met the expectations of the male lead in "Fanhua", so he was chosen as a matter of course.

But now, times have changed. He has long since terminated his contract with Yaolai, established his own studio, and reached a cooperation with Universal Music, opening up a new development direction in the music field and breaking away from the core interest circle of the Shanghai film and television industry.

In addition, his development in the film and television industry has not been ideal in recent years. The works he starred in have not been satisfactory in terms of reputation and ratings, and his acting skills have also been criticized...

Taking all these factors into consideration, this project is naturally no longer suitable for him to continue using it, and it is normal to replace the male lead. "

When Ren Zhonglun said this, his expression was calm and his tone was indifferent, as if this was just a very ordinary matter and there was no emotional fluctuation at all.

In his opinion, what does the online criticism mean? It's just a passing breeze.

That group of crazy fans will only make noise for a few days. Their enthusiasm will not last long and will fade away on its own.

After the heat has died down, arrange for internet trolls and marketing accounts to set the tone online and reverse the direction of public opinion. All controversies will naturally disappear quietly, and everything will return to calm.

After all, this kind of actor casting and replacement is already very common in the film and television industry, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.

Not to mention this kind of thing, even hot social events and complex lawsuits often have similar operating methods behind them.

In this circle full of various interests and interpersonal relationships, public opinion has long become a tool that can be manipulated.

Ren Zhonglun even discussed with Chen Fei with great interest how to reverse public opinion and build momentum for the newly confirmed male lead.

After all, Hu Ge’s studio is affiliated with Feiyue Film and Television, and everyone is like a member of the same network with common interests.

"As for Weibo, I will use your name to try to get them to give me some discounts and promote our promotional content more, okay?" Ren Zhonglun looked at Chen Fei with a smile and said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Yeah." Fade Chen nodded and did not refuse.

It was naturally feasible for him to boost Hu Ge and suppress Wu Yifan.

In addition to the interest chain, the relationship between him and Hu Ge also naturally made him stand on Hu Ge's side.

But at the moment of nodding, he inexplicably recalled the classic engagement case that happened a few years later.

During the incident, public opinion was arbitrarily manipulated by various forces, causing huge waves!

It can be seen that this thing is like a double-edged sword.

If used properly and guided in a reasonable and legal direction, it will naturally play a positive role, help projects succeed and promote social development.

However, if it is exploited by people with ulterior motives, combined with biased interests, or swept up in some extreme ideas, such as the "hegemony" of women's boxing, it would be like opening Pandora's box, releasing unpredictable negative effects.

It is easy to open this Pandora's box.

But once it is opened, it would be extremely difficult to take back those negative things and close it again!
……

Time flies, and the craze in the film market during the National Day holiday continues to heat up.

Every day, new audiences go to the cinema with the expectation of high-quality films, making this National Day holiday full of a strong cultural atmosphere.

Since the third day of the National Day holiday, the competitive landscape of the film market has gradually become clear, like a gradually unfolding painting, with its outline and context slowly taking shape.

In this fierce box office battle, "Assassination of Novelist" has undoubtedly become the biggest winner of this year's National Day holiday with its unique plot, stunning special effects and outstanding performances by the actors. It has attracted the audience's attention and box office, and also gained excellent reputation.

Following closely behind and ranking second is "My Hometown and Me".

Although the reputation of this movie is quite divided, the heartwarming and touching stories, as well as the development and changes in various parts of the motherland shown from multiple perspectives, have successfully evoked the audience's deep feelings of home and country, and gained quite good popularity and box office results.

"Jiang Ziya", which ranks third, continues the style of mythological animation and has attracted many audiences with its exquisite pictures.

It’s a pity that the story performance is rather weak, so the daily box office has been declining.

However, "The Vanguard" and "Leap" which was released in advance are relatively inferior.

Especially the latter, although it has the passionate story of the Chinese women's volleyball team as a strong content support, it ranks relatively low in the fierce competition among many films during the National Day holiday.

Nowadays, the news has spread in the film industry, and Huaying and Huanxi Media are almost regretting their decision!
If they had foreseen the strong potential of "Win the Championship" in terms of word of mouth, they should have decisively arranged it to be released during the National Day holiday to compete with other films for traffic and screening. However, the reality is that it was released a few days in advance, which made the film unveiled its mystery too early and lost the attraction that could have exploded during the National Day holiday.

In addition, many new films were released during the National Day period, and the competition was extremely fierce. Resources from all parties were divided up substantially, resulting in "Win the Championship" hardly being able to stir up much discussion and popularity in this fierce competition, which is really a pity.

As for "Home at One Point", which was released on the 3rd, its box office performance of 2123 million is not even worth too much coverage by the media.

If it weren't for the pretty good cast of this movie, I'm afraid not many people would pay attention to it.

However, with an appreciative attitude, Chen Fei still went to the cinema to watch the finished film.

Those responsible for the box office and storytelling are mainly Liu Haoran, Peng Yuchang, Yin Fang, Tan Zhuo, Zhang Qi and others.

The story tells the story of three young people who returned to their hometown in Huanglu Village, an ancient village in Yunnan, and led the villagers to start a business together, and finally embarked on the road to common prosperity.

Although the film focuses on youth/comedy themes, it also contains topics of new rural construction and rural revitalization.

So, this subject matter seems quite novel.

While watching the movie, Chen Fei refreshed the comments of netizens on Douban.

As for this movie, everyone has different opinions.

"It feels like a high-scoring essay for the college entrance exam. I was very good at analyzing the topic and found a breakthrough that was different from the ordinary. I changed the delivery of the courier from delivering the courier to sending the courier. The pattern suddenly changed from making a small investment to a big investment!"

"Oh, isn't this just the poisonous chicken soup from Alibaba? It's just carrying private goods. If it wasn't marked as 'Juhuasuan' in the sinking market, I would have thought it was a promotional video for Pinduoduo."

"The rustic poverty alleviation theme itself is not attractive enough, the rhythm is fragmented, and the actors' acting skills are average. It's just for fun. As for the acting, I think Peng Yuchang is better than Liu Haoran and Yin Fang. Peng Peng's acting skills are getting more and more simple and natural."

"Obviously, this is just a low-profile version of "Chinese Partners". The characters are interesting and inspiring, but if you watch it carefully, you will find that success still requires external support."

"It's worthy of being Alibaba's promotional video. They even brought in Taobao's 'lipstick king' to star in the movie."

Huh? !

While reading the comments, Fade Chen was suddenly stunned.

The lipstick king?
Isn't it just that idiot who sells eyebrow pencils?

When he looked up at the big screen again, it happened that the greasy-haired guy was teaching Peng Yuchang, Liu Haoran and Yin Fang how to sell goods.

After seeing this, Fade Chen no longer had any interest in reading on.

Originally, he wanted to see whether Alibaba had already had new directions and goals in the creation of films on the theme of "New Century, New Countryside"?
But after watching half of it, he realized that this was actually just an "advertising film" launched by Alibaba Pictures to promote Alibaba.

And the most interesting thing is that this kind of promotion is very suitable even on Pinduoduo.

It can even be said that if the film had not inserted promotions and soft advertisements of various Alibaba platforms, Pinduoduo could have easily taken it as its own promotional video.

In recent years, Taobao has gradually been left behind by Pinduoduo in terms of user scale and acceptance of new users.

In addition, after Ma Yun resigned, the new president made a series of stupid moves, almost turning this trillion-dollar company into a sunset industry.

After walking out of the cinema, Chen Fei was about to attend the next event, but at this moment, he saw a pop-up message suddenly pop up on Weibo.

[Chen Kaige's new work is officially launched! 】

This title is undoubtedly very eye-catching for the entire film and television industry.

Anyway, Chen Fei couldn't help it and clicked in directly.

"This morning, the long-awaited film "Flowers in the Dust" by the famous director Chen Kaige was officially launched. The story is adapted from his personal autobiography "Young Kaige", which carries his deep retrospection and tribute to youth."

"According to public information, the story of Flowers in the Dust is set in the 60s, a special period full of changes and challenges.

At the critical stage of their growth, several passionate young people, with their dreams and desires for the future, work hard and fight fiercely with fate.

They were lost and explored in difficult situations, experienced countless hardships and obstacles, and finally realized the sublimation of their self-worth, and gained a deeper understanding of life and that unforgettable youth. "

"In addition to 21st Century Shengkai Pictures, Bona Film Group will serve as a co-producer to 'escort' the film, and director Chen Kaige's wife Chen Hong will once again serve as the 'producer' of his new film."

The 60s?

Looking at this background, Fade Chen suddenly thought of someone in his mind.

Jiang Wen!

After all, when it comes to who understands this period best and has the most in-depth analysis, Jiang Wen is definitely among the top three directors in the circle.

It just so happened that Chen Fei was going to attend a seminar on art films next.

As a member of the field of domestic art film directors, Jiang Wen naturally had to attend.

So, Chen Fei came to the event site with great interest and soon found Jiang Wen who was chatting enthusiastically with Jia Zhangke.

However, when he told Chen Kaige about his new project "Flowers in the Dust", he heard Jiang Wen in front of him suddenly snort:
"Brother Chen Kai is a rich kid, what the hell does he know about this era?"

Upon hearing this, Fade Chen was immediately amused, "You know more than him?"

Jiang Wen snorted twice, raised his head, and said word by word: "I already have a new story in my mind. Just wait and see. Once it comes out, it will definitely shock everyone!"

"Oh? What story?" Fade Chen looked at him curiously.

"In order to realize his dream of music, the boy left home with his father to study. Faced with an uncertain future, the whole family remained true to their original aspirations. They accumulated experience in adversity and broke through difficulties. One day, he transformed into a hero. At the age of 17, he entered the top art hall and conquered the world with his peak performance!"

Jiang Wen became more and more excited as he spoke, and in the end, he even said the name of the movie:
"I plan to name my new film "Heroes Emerge Young" to outdo Chen Kai's "Flowers in the Dust"!"

Obviously, even though 27 years have passed, Jiang Wen is still upset that Brother Chen Kai did not let him play Cheng Dieyi.
