Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 765: Before it was actually no different from being banned
The rhythm came earlier than Zhou Mo had imagined.

He originally thought that it would take another two days, until the word of mouth for "Life Search" had fermented for a few more days and the box office had increased a little, before Baidu would make a move.

Unexpectedly, he lost his patience in just three days.

"Qiandu's concentration isn't very good right now. He reacted so early."

"Your sarcastic remarks are so nice to hear. Do you know how much Qiandu's stock has fallen in the past few days? If we don't respond, Qiandu's board of directors will probably get furious." Da Tiantian said bluntly.

As a barometer of the market, the stock market has always reacted quickly to news.

Judging from the box office of the movie itself, the total box office of "Life Search" is only a little over 100 million yuan, and the results seem to be very average.

But if we look at the stock market, the drop in Qiandu’s share price in the past few days is enough to make dozens of "Life Search" movies, which shows the impact of the movie.

Zhou Mo looked at the large number of comments on "Life Search" that suddenly appeared on the Internet, and secretly said that it was worthy of being called Qiandu.

After all, it is an old Internet company, and its ability to control Internet public opinion is much stronger than that of ordinary companies.

Both the scale of the rhythm and the theme of the rhythm far exceed the traffic that ordinary companies can generate.

While browsing the web, Zhou Mo saw such an article.

It is said that "Life Search" is essentially a carnival of capital. On the surface, the movie seems to condemn the Putian incident of that year, but in fact it is still trying to gain everyone's sympathy to engage in commercial competition and suppress Qiandu Company.

In Zhou Mo's opinion, this article is very well written.

The good thing about it is that it did not make excuses for itself, but directly dragged "Life Search" into the water, saying that "Life Search" was not as good as imagined.

All crows are black.

"This movie is not as good as you think. The real situation is just dog-eat-dog. You see, the movie itself is exposing bad things, but its goal is not to cure diseases and save lives, but to do thousands of degrees!
As for what the two companies are doing to each other, netizens, as spectators, have no need to intervene. They can just sit back and watch the fight.”

To be honest, this kind of content can easily resonate with netizens.

In the Internet society, public opinion often goes to extremes.

For the party who makes mistakes or does bad things, the situation of "shooting first" will usually occur.

For the party doing good deeds, there are often requirements that are close to being a "morally perfect person".

Both of the above are extreme reactions.

"Life Search" belongs to the second category.

For some netizens, knowing that the movie exposed a vicious incident, they would have provided support and solidarity for the incident. However, once they knew that "Life Search" had a deeper purpose, they would have a negative view of the movie.

The emergence of this transformation is not difficult to understand.

For these netizens, when the deeper purpose comes out, "Life Search" is no longer pure, and they, the supporters, have changed from being "like-minded people" at the beginning to "people being used", and they will have a feeling of "betrayal" in their hearts.

"This article is really well written. I don't know who wrote it. If there is a chance, let's see if he is willing to work for another company."

"It's already this late, and you're still in the mood to rush things." Da Tiantian had been sitting next to Zhou Mo, so naturally she also saw this popular article.

She was not as calm as Zhou Mo, and urged: "Do you want me to restore our company to use the box office share for charity?"

Zhou Mo shook his head.

"Not yet. It's not time yet."

"Then just wait like this?"

"Of course not. Since Qiandu has taken action, we naturally have to react. However, there is no need for us to take action. Just leave it to Bi Dao."

Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a while.

Why did you choose Director Bi to participate in the production of "Life Search"? Isn't it for now?

Da Tiantian raised her eyebrows, as if she understood something.

"Have you and Director Bi made a plan in advance?"

"Of course. Although the article is well written, it still does not deviate from the company's predictions. You just wait and see."

That afternoon, Bi Dao published a post on time, and its content was so hot that it directly ignited the atmosphere that was already on the verge of exploding.

In the dynamic, Bi Dao directly stated without any concealment:
That’s right, “Life Search” is targeting your Qiandu company. The Putian incident was so serious back then and hurt so many people. Your company also said that it would deal with it seriously. But now, almost three years have passed, and Putian’s advertisements are still everywhere on your search pages.

Where are your promises? Where are your changes? Where are your responsibilities?

With the way you operate and your attitude, let alone filming "Life Search", even if you don't make the movie, what does it matter if we target you?

Bi Dao’s remarks were so straightforward and bold that this post received a large number of comments and reposts. It topped the trending search list of Lizhan Entertainment within just a few minutes of being posted.

"Fuck, is Director Bi so hard?"

"Hardcore Qiandu, has he always been this bold?"

"You are a mortal man, and you want to work hard for the company, right?"

"I have always thought that Director Bi is just a relative of He Bu Yurou. Now I apologize for my previous opinion. Director Bi is a real warrior who dares to go straight to Qiandu!"

Even Zhou Mo was frightened by Director Bi's toughness.

In the response that he and Director Bi first discussed, the content was milder than it is now.

But he could almost understand Director Bi's thoughts.

Since the release of "Life", Director Bi's reputation has undergone a major turnaround. Many netizens not only praised him for the quality of his film, but also encouraged him to make his next film.

In order to get these supports, Bi Dao would go all out no matter what.

"Now that Director Bi has come on board, we can't fall too far behind. Immediately mobilize all channels to hype up this debate and direct the topic towards those rubbish operations on Baidu." Zhou Mo ordered immediately.

In fact, the staff of the Propaganda Department had already started working without his instructions.

When one person confronts a corporate giant, it is always an eye-catching topic.

What’s more, it is a company like Qiandu that has once been the leader in the industry.

In just half a day, the negative comments about "Life Search" disappeared from the Internet, and were replaced by news about Director Bi criticizing it thousands of times.

Yes, blast it.

Director Bi’s complaints against Qiandu are not just as monotonous as that one post. In order to promote the movie, he had already prepared a large amount of information and was waiting for Qiandu to take action.

Now that I have finally found an opportunity, of course I have to write about it in detail.

It's not like Bi Dao hadn't thought about the fact that such actions would eventually lead to a counterattack from Qiandu.

But as mentioned earlier, the benefits of confronting Qiandu are far greater than the losses of being hit back by Qiandu.

Although Qiandu is wealthy and powerful, China is not America, and Qiandu is not mold, so it is impossible to send him to see God.

At most, we can use resources to make him disappear from the Internet, which is the so-called ban.

But before the release of "Life Search", it was actually no different from being banned.

The audience doesn't like it, the industry doesn't like it, and investors still don't like it.

If Zhou Mo hadn't asked him to make a movie, he might have completely retired from the entertainment industry.

Now, after the argument with Qiandu, in just half a day, his personal account has gained a lot of followers, which is all traffic.

With the support of Director Zhou, he doesn’t even have to worry about being blocked or forced to cover his mouth.

As the saying goes, after hitting rock bottom, the next step is upwards.

That evening, as information about Bi Dao was released one after another, more and more people paid attention to this matter. Everyone wanted to see how Qiandu would react to the accusations from this angle.

However, after the incident of the previous night, the trend of "Life Search" on the Internet is still stuck on Director Bi's confrontation with Baidu.

Qiandu has not responded yet.
