This top guy is crazy!

Chapter 371 Cheng Cheng's words set the film industry back twenty years

“Now that Cheng Cheng is out, shouldn’t The Three-Body Problem Part Two be out too?”

"That's right, please update it soon! I'm addicted to reading!"

"Ants are crawling on me!"

"Hurry up and post the book, you bastard! @ChengCheng, how long are you going to put it off?"

"I want to see the limit of my wallet! @ChengCheng send me a book!"

"Please, let me watch The Three-Body Problem Part Two! I can't stand it!"

"Well, you go all in on A-shares right now, and then send me a lot of books!"

"Brother Frog, let's talk about what's really in our hearts. You've been hoarding so many chapters in private, why don't you publish them all at once? This book is like a groom's first move, so get excited!"

"Brother Frog, have you won the Nobel Prize for Literature? Have you become the richest man in the country? Has your company become number one in the industry? Has your book been sold to every bookstore in the world? No? If not, why don't you publish your book quickly?"

"At this age, how can you be so lazy?"

"@Cheng Cheng Frog, I hope you get killed!"

It was the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, three days after the release of the Cheng Cheng documentary, and netizens began to urge Cheng Cheng to release The Three-Body Problem Part Two. The entry #AllNetCallingChengChengToReleaseBook# became a hot search.

The subsequent impact of the documentary "Cheng Cheng" is huge.

First of all, it aroused a great discussion among the whole nation on the film and television market.

Why did the film and television market suddenly encounter a cold winter?
Why are audiences less and less willing to go to the cinema?

Is the audience’s reluctance to go to the cinema a problem of the audience, the market, or the filmmakers?

Before the release of the documentary "Cheng Cheng", people were resentful about this issue:

Is there any need to think about it? Of course it's you filmmakers' fault! You can't make money, and you blame the people?
That doesn't make sense!
However, although they know clearly where the problem lies and who created the problem, they also know that most of the current movies lack novelty, have old-fashioned plots, are crudely produced, try to ride on the popularity of others, and are full of spectacles and have crooked ends.

They know how bad movies are made.

But they don't know how good movies are made.

Now they have seen it through the documentary "Cheng Cheng"!
They saw how Cheng Cheng invested regardless of cost just to create the most realistic special effects and the most stunning post-production; they saw how Cheng Cheng carefully selected and invited the most professional team to design action scenes to ensure that every shot could present the most perfect effect!

Moreover, Cheng Cheng also proposed the theory of "universal law" in the documentary.

It explains how to make a good movie from a high-level perspective.

As a result, the public is even more dissatisfied with the Spring Festival movies that are still in theaters!
In the three days after the release of "Cheng Cheng".

The box office of the three movies "Haji's Dream", "Hey Sea Coast" and "The Rush" plummeted, especially the movie "Haji's Dream", which had a box office of 1.3 million on the day of its release.

On the second day after the release, the revenue was reduced to 0.8 million. The next day was even more outrageous, reaching 0.5 million. On the third day, the revenue could not even be maintained at 0.5 million, and reached 0.3 million.

It can be said that "Haji's Dream" was directly sentenced to death.

But the blame lies only with Tang Ping, the director of "Haji's Dream", who said, "I am speechless about the short video commentary on the movie, and I hope more audiences will go to the cinema to watch it."

There is also "Goodfellas", a movie that was singled out by Cheng Cheng, which is even worse. Netizens began to treat it like "Chinese Men", and they cannot allow such a movie that harms the country and the people to make money openly in theaters.

The director was so frightened! Lian Ye edited his own Weibo, which was very funny.

She also hid her content on Weibo.

The film company urgently changed the direction of its publicity and hired a large number of KOLs to whitewash the film.

"After watching the movie Goodfellas, I realized that good female films are always people-oriented. Women's awakening never means men's "decline", and women sitting at the table does not mean men have to leave. Men and women should not be in opposition. Whether it is at the dinner table or the card table, women and men can happily chat at the same table, use self-expression to broaden the boundaries of dialogue between people, and use love and tolerance to make up for the experience gap brought about by the gender gap."

“I recommend everyone to watch this movie, it’s really good!”

"This movie really makes people feel that men and women are equal and can live in harmony."

"The boring tricks of gender antagonists are trying to dismember our society, but they forget that in the face of real reality, the "world that belongs to them" that they have painstakingly created is doomed to collapse at the first touch!"

But netizens didn’t buy it and started to curse:
"No, why are you putting the blame on someone else? Who started the gender confrontation first? On the one hand, the trailer clearly mentions male sterilization and gender original sin, and in just a few minutes, it keeps throwing out gender allegories. Why? How can you be both a proponent and a traitor?"

"The thief shouts "Catch the thief!"

"What? You're pretending to be innocent again now that you're about to be like this?"

“I really like the line in the trailer, ‘Yes, we all have original sin.’”

"The first sentence: I got sterilized for you. The second sentence: We men have taken too much of the gender bonus. The third sentence: Yes, we all have original sin."

"Some people are really hypocritical. They are still calling those who oppose it 'trailer lovers', saying that the values ​​shown in the movie are completely different from the classic quotes in the trailer, and urging everyone to watch the movie before making a judgment. But the question is, who released the trailer? Wasn't it released by the film company?"

“Boycott is the end of it!”

Except for Wang Hong and Qi Hao's "K Mountain", the Spring Festival movie market fell across the board, with the overall market plummeting by 30%.

Some film industry professionals couldn't stand it, saying that Cheng Cheng's words set the film industry back 20 years. It was as if Cheng Cheng was a sinner in the industry. They blamed him for saying that kind of thing in the documentary, and he shouldn't have named Tang Ping and "Goodfellas". This was a show of contempt among colleagues and a joke to outsiders.

Actually, he is right.

There are a total of ten movies in this year's Spring Festival, including "K Mountain" and nine others. How many sponsors are there behind these nine movies? How many interest groups are there? How many brokerage companies, actors, directors, photographers, and practitioners are there?
Cheng Cheng's words directly damaged their interests.

They certainly have reason to hate them.

But netizens think that this shouldn’t be the case.

“It has already regressed, but it’s not Cheng Cheng’s fault, it’s the industry itself.”

"If one person can influence the entire industry, it proves that the industry should have been rectified long ago!"

"It would be better to go back a few hundred years, when people were still the lowest class!" "Forget it...

This industry has become so rotten: in the past, they just wanted to cheat you out of some ticket money, and at most they would say the movie ticket is not worth it and then shout "RNM" to get your money back.

Now these bastards are always twisting their butts, and I feel so sick that I can't eat for the whole day after watching them. Now Cheng Cheng has come out to point out this situation, and you actually said that Cheng Cheng is the one who made the industry regress!
Each generation is really worse than the previous one!
Cheng Cheng's movie directly brought Tianxia Film to the world. Can you still say that the industry is ruined? It's unreasonable."

"Brief summary: He takes great photos and makes money, so how can I make a living if I can't take good photos?"

"We can only bite the bullet and target him!"

The movie channel also spoke up for Cheng Cheng, publishing an article like this:
"Looking at the film and television market through "Cheng Cheng" / The film and television market is very cold, and we need to use works to "invite" the audience back"

"Recently, the documentary "Cheng Cheng" directed by Qin Ping, which records the production process of "Resident Evil", has become a hit on the Internet.
But at the same time, his words in the documentary also sparked a sense of justice. Netizens felt that what he said was right, but some of his colleagues believed that this statement was disrespectful to their colleagues, set the film industry back 20 years, and left countless practitioners unemployed.

A few days ago, director Tang Ping called on the audience to go to the cinema in an interview instead of just "quickly browsing the movie commentary on their mobile phones."

Behind the great director's sincere "voice" is the "chill" of this year's film market.

Statistics show that this year's Spring Festival movie box office has dropped year-on-year.
At present, the diversion of short dramas and short videos, the increasingly fragmented viewing habits, the ever-increasing movie ticket prices, and even the booming offline performance and tourism markets may all be attributed to reasons that influence audiences' desire to go to the cinema.

But more importantly, we should also reflect on the lack of well-received works, which has brought aesthetic fatigue, lack of confidence and reduced expectations to the audience.

This kind of "desolation" is also reflected in the TV drama market.
The “downward trend” of the film and television industry cannot be reversed by “appeals” from big directors.

A few months before Tang Ping's speech, Cheng Cheng's "Resident Evil" grossed 81 billion yuan worldwide, and countless fans in various languages ​​gave it positive reviews.

This can actually remind practitioners that audiences will never reject creative masterpieces that touch their hearts at any time.

From the documentary "Cheng Cheng", we can also see that only by calming down, giving full play to one's original intention, and creating truly "good content" can we transcend time and change, while also keeping the audience's expectations.

Cheng Cheng has not caused the film and television industry to regress. On the contrary, he is a force that promotes the progress of the industry!"

The movie channel has come out to make the final judgment, and colleagues in the film and television industry have nothing to say.

What? You still want to watch the Hard Steel Video Channel?
After much anticipation from netizens, "The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest" is finally going to be released.

February 2th, the eleventh day of the lunar year.

Myth Publishing House announced that "The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest" will be released on time at 2:21 a.m. on February 8. At that time, the book will be simultaneously available on multiple mainstream e-commerce platforms: Douyun, Taozi, and Duoduo, and pre-sales will begin in the early morning of February 2.

The official online mini program of Shenhua Publishing House will also simultaneously open a book sales channel to provide readers with a more convenient book-buying experience.

This new book will be released in its first edition of 3 million copies, while stocks last.

As soon as the news came out, the whole country exploded!

"Holy crap!!! It's finally out! Cheng Cheng, do you know how long you've made me wait?!"

"No, why is the first release only 3 million copies? Is that correct?"

"It looks like I won't be able to sleep tonight!"

"That's great! I must grab the first release and be the first person to show off my book in my circle of friends!"

"Do you think that if you get the first chance to post it on your Moments, your goddess will come looking for you? It's useless."

"Even if you get the first start, you can't win her heart."

"It's out, so what's so exciting about it? The first part of The Three-Body Problem was bad, and the second part will surely be even worse (so no one will snatch it from me, right?)"

"I'm staying up all night waiting for the pre-sale. This new book from Shenhua Publishing House is definitely not to be missed!"

"Three million copies? Looks like we'll have to rely on hand speed!"

"I have been single for ten years, and I have never been afraid of anyone in terms of hand speed!"

From "The Three-Body Problem 1" to "The Three-Body Problem 2", the "Three-Body Problem" IP has gone through a lot.

When "The Three-Body Problem 1" was first released, there was no deliberate promotion, and because the subject matter was too different from Cheng Cheng's first book "The Little Prince", it was met with a cold reception from public opinion.

It was only after the market feedback was released that the public realized that "The Three-Body Problem" had sold so well, and it once again sparked public discussion and attention.

But now, because "The Three-Body Problem 1: Past Events on Earth" has been adapted into a TV series and launched on Netflix, it has ranked second on the list of popular TV series, attracting countless fans of the Three-Body Problem all over the world. Therefore, as soon as the news of the release of "The Three-Body Problem 2" came out, it directly became the number one hot search.

Readers are eager to know the follow-up plot of "The Three-Body Problem 1: Past Events on Earth" and who the character played by Cheng Cheng is at the end of "The Three-Body Problem "!
But fans on the outside world were very miserable, especially fans of Peninsula and Neon, who were extremely sad and cried out that it was unfair.

"Wait, why isn't our Peninsula on sale?"

"We don't have Neon either!"

“We are your fans too!”

"Has Cheng Chengjun forgotten us?"

This topic sparked countless discussions on the Internet, and even Tyrande's fans spoke out.

Domestic netizens are laughing now:
"Hahahaha, I want to laugh when I think about them having no books to read."

"After all, Cheng Cheng is from our country! There's nothing we can do about it!"

"Why do I only feel good?!"

"I appreciate this attitude of focusing on domestic demand first, rather than satisfying foreigners first! This deserves praise!"

Myth Publishing House responded urgently: Due to transportation and customs issues, as well as insufficient production lines, "The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest" in other countries' languages ​​can only be released in three days.

However, Myth Publishing House promised that within one month, all fans will be able to buy "The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest" in bookstores in their own country.
