This top guy is crazy!

Chapter 408: Fire at Cheng Cheng

"Charlotte's Troubles" became popular all over the Chinese Internet overnight.

Countless people are discussing this comedy masterpiece.

"Girlfriend's 60th birthday", "Teachers don't hold grudges", "Teacher Wang, are you still alive?", "Dashachun, what are you doing?", "Charlotte's father disappeared as soon as he was born", "Thanks for your class's low floor", "My Father, the District Chief", "I can't do this question", "Dachun, I tell you, you are different from others, don't waste your time on studying", "Water Monkey Notes", "I feel like I've been living in his shadow", "Damn it! Yuan Hua!", "Ma Dong what?", "I call you brother, you call me dad."

There are too many memes! Too dense!
From Douban to Zhihu, from Tieba to Xiaohongshu, from Weibo to Bilibili, from Hupu to Douyin, from cesspools to toilets, from public toilets to children's toilets, from Jimei Highlands to Jishuai Alliance, "Charlotte's Troubles" has become a big hit in all aspects!

That day, in the early morning, the first day box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" was set, and the number was -

2.1 billion!
There are six other movies released at the same time as "Charlotte's Troubles".

But in terms of box office performance, none of the other six films grossed over 6 million yuan, and the highest-grossing one only grossed million yuan.

"Charlotte's Troubles" directly occupied half of the box office on Children's Day, June 1, and single-handedly pulled up the entire market.

A movie with a brand new cast took in 2 million yuan at the box office on its release day, leaving all the industry insiders overwhelmed.

It also created a sense of urgency among the long-established domestic entertainment actors.

Under Cheng Cheng's "Three Ones" plan, more and more actors have emerged in the domestic entertainment industry, and they are all good at acting. Together with the people from Shinhwa Media, their status has become precarious.

Some time ago, an entertainment blogger on Douyin created a ranking and received two million likes.

The current landscape of domestic entertainment has changed and is basically dominated by eighteen actors.

Female star pattern:

Three Gods: Yan Gou'er, Wen Lian, Jiang Nan

Three Kings: Mao Chunxi, Wang Hong, Tang Ya

Three little flowers: Lin Yin, Nilu Kezi, Xun Xue

Male star pattern:

Three Gods: Li Yang, Yue Zhanlin, and Ham Woo-taek
Three Kings: Luo Peng, Geng Jiang, Feng Yunqi
Three young actors: Qi Hao, Jiang Jun, Zhang Zijie
And Cheng Cheng, who is above these eighteen people, is the new godfather of domestic entertainment, because among the above eighteen male and female stars, half were trained by Cheng Cheng, and the rest, such as Le Zhanlin and Geng Jiang, were also made famous by Cheng Cheng.

This list is no longer qualified to define him.

Of course, this list is not comprehensive. Big names like Ning Shan, Liu Wei Chi, Chu Qing, and Liu Xijun did not appear on the list. However, the fact that it is agreed by so many people also explains some problems.

Now, the actors from the mythology faction have become the largest faction in the domestic entertainment industry.

There is less and less room for other actors to survive.

But there is no way. Cheng Cheng’s “Three Ones” plan is aimed at newcomers and they are not allowed to participate at all. As for the opportunities released by Shinhwa Media, they are also given to actors with real talent.

More and more domestic entertainment stars lament:
The domestic entertainment industry is now facing serious internal competition, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to survive.

The next day, the box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" reversed the decline, and the single-day box office exceeded 2.4 million. The popularity of "Charlotte's Troubles" became even higher. On Douban, "Charlotte's Troubles" also opened for scoring, with 8.2 points.

rave reviews.

“This film uses the method of Zhuangzi dreaming of a butterfly to conduct a philosophical discussion on the happiness index of life, using the lowest level of pretense to explain the deepest emotions. It is a pseudo-youth film that uses hilarious methods to expose how ridiculous Xiaoqingxin is.”

"Brother Chen Kai, Xihong City, Ma what Mei, slap that sister's brick, Cheng Cheng who lives in Charlotte's shadow, sunflowers that are mainly used for eating, what do you mean by like an idiot, you also made fennel soup... Unexpectedly good, watching the film is really hahahahahawawawawawahahahaha, the song is used cleverly instead of just as background."

"Am I the only one who left crying? Why do I feel so moved by those silly looks at the end? The unchanging theme is "Appreciate the ordinary happiness around you..." I hope we can all do it!"

“The plot is clear, the characters are well-made, the jokes are dense, and the overall plot is very well done. It splits a reality and then heals itself with a dream, allowing the audience to laugh in a very pure time travel, appreciate life, and feel the preciousness of love.”

"Five stars just for the fact that I laughed so many times in the first movie theater."

“Version 2.0 of “The Killer Is Not Cool” has made great progress.”

"Ma Dong what, Ma Dongmei. Ma what Mei, Ma Dongmei. What Dongmei, Ma Dongmei."

“It feels like Chinese comedy movies are back.”

"It's so beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful! ~~~ Every minute is so funny, my face hurts from laughing~"

"It's good to laugh together. If all Chinese movies were like this, they wouldn't be a failure."

Station B:
Video: "Wow, Yuan Hua! I watched the best comedy movie in the past decade - Charlotte's Troubles", with 213 million views.

"In the past decade, a puzzling trend has emerged in the field of domestic comedy films: comedy creators no longer focus on polishing jokes, but instead try to find ways to make the audience cry.

This practice of deliberately sensationalizing and forcing tears in comedy not only appears to be a crude technique, but also makes the audience feel disgusted.

But once someone questions this trend, some audiences will use the attitude of being well versed in the true meaning of comedy and use the argument that "the core of comedy is tragedy" as a shield.

In such an atmosphere, "too tear-jerking" has quietly replaced "too funny" and become the new yardstick for measuring the success of a comedy.

Domestic comedy seems to be slowly closing its door amid the tissues handed over by the audience.

Fortunately, this year on June 1st, Cheng Cheng brought "Charlotte's Troubles". This movie opened the door to domestic comedy again with its cleverly designed jokes and absurd and sharp satire, and told all comedy creators what comedy is.

[Same as the Spring Festival Gala]

[Just for this sentence at the beginning, I have to give you three likes]

[Peaches have pits. I love eating peaches, but you can’t just let me eat the pits, right?]

Video: "Beyond expectations, it's great! "Charlotte's Troubles": It's cool! It's crazy! It's funny!", 209 million views.

"Charlotte's troubles! It's so funny!"

[I watched it in the cinema, it was good]

[Just finished watching, this movie is worth watching, funny and profound]

【You should all go see this movie! 】

[It's really great. I laughed out loud and held my pee in the cinema. It deserves the title of King of Comedy of the Year! ] Video: "[Premiere Review] You may not understand "Charlotte's Troubles" at all. The real ending is darker than you think", with 198 million views.

Video: "Cheng Cheng once again slaps the domestic entertainment industry in a big fight", with 167 million views.

Major media:

"Sung Cheng's new work "Charlotte's Troubles" is coming strongly on June 1st, winning both box office and word of mouth!"

"Charlotte's Troubles" reproduces the "tap water" effect, where is the winning point? "

"Are Chinese-language films losing ground? Judging from "Charlotte's Troubles", audience word of mouth is the best box office remedy!"

"How did "Charlotte" break through 10 billion box office without any big names? Also, is the title "Charlotte, Troubles" or "Charlotte, Special Troubles"? "

"The leading man in yellow tights and nunchakus stood in the middle, surrounded by a group of men and women in preppy uniforms, none of whom were stars.

When seeing the poster for the first time, some people may mistakenly think that this is just a typical "low-budget eye-catching" domestic film, and it is difficult to compare it with masterpieces.

However, this movie has a very important label——

[Sheng Cheng's works]
Crazy praise on social media, tearful likes on WeChat Moments drove people to the cinema, and nearly full audiences cried and laughed together. Cheng Cheng's "Charlotte" set off a wave of movie-watching craze during the Children's Day period!
Just yesterday, "Charlotte" was released and earned a staggering 2.1 million yuan at the box office on the first day. The next day, it achieved a box office comeback, with the single-day box office soaring to 2.5 million yuan.

How can it become the dark horse of the year when there are no big stars in the leading roles and no large-scale movies?
Traveling through time and space, and the Yellow Millet Dream have always been enduring movie themes.
The label of [Cheng Cheng's work] is no longer just a symbol of the director's personal style, it has also become an important indicator that influences theater screenings and audience choices.

If the previous "The Professional" successfully verified the feasibility of the "Trinity Plan", then the brilliant performance of "Charlotte" is undoubtedly another powerful proof of the effectiveness of this plan."

At the same time, with the popularity of the movie, songs such as "Yi Jian Mei", "I'll Be By Your Side", "First Love" and "Mercury" also topped the charts of major music platforms, especially the two new songs "Yi Jian Mei" and "I'll Be By Your Side", which took the top two spots on the new song chart.

The comments section of the two songs is also very interesting, all of them are teasing:

"This song is nice and has a very retro feel, but it comes from the song "Charlotte's Troubles". Emmm, it's hard to watch."

"A sentence describing the heavy snowfall: Yuan Hua, please don't call me again, I'm afraid Xia Luo will misunderstand. No!!!!!!"

"Phone booth, university, no!!!"

"Cheng Cheng is really a genius, this song doesn't sound out of place at all!"

“Popularity is a circle, hahahaha!”

"Brother, what are you looking for? Dad will help you find it!"

"You know what, this song Charlotte wrote is pretty nice."

"Who said it wasn't? The end of the movie was quite touching, especially when Xia Luo was holding Ma Dongmei and listening to this song, I almost cried. The feeling of regaining what you lost is really good. If possible, don't separate from the one you love easily."

However, amid all the positive reviews, there are also discordant voices.

On the evening of June 6, the third day after the release of "Charlotte's Troubles", Yang Jin, a veteran in the industry with more than 3 years of experience in the director industry, suddenly fired back at "Charlotte's Troubles" on Weibo.

He said on Weibo:

"'Charlotte's Troubles' is the inner voice of a middle-aged male loser, a disgusting and unrealistic fantasy. If such a movie is allowed to dominate the Chinese film market, it will be a cultural tragedy."

As soon as this Weibo post came out, it caused a sensation!

Netizens were shocked:

No, you dare to mess with Cheng Cheng, do you want to live?

Faced with the accusations from netizens, Yang Jin couldn't hold back his face. He immediately posted another Weibo post, a long one, in which he wanted to prove:
He is a veteran in the circle. He is not afraid of Cheng Cheng at all, and there is no need for him to be afraid of Cheng Cheng!
He wrote on Weibo:
“The whole movie of “Charlotte” is full of male fantasy and utilitarianism, and the screen is full of embarrassment and greasiness. Those who are better than you are always because of their fathers. The beautiful girls who can’t be pursued will eventually marry ugly rich men. As a loser, you are useless. After daydreaming, you still have to learn to be content.

I remember Director Cheng Cheng said that as literary and artistic creators, we must be responsible to society, right?
Is this the way to be responsible?

I don't understand why so many people applaud such a film that destroys all worldviews and has no irony at all?

Maybe the audience of this film is the kind of people who watch short videos of beautiful women on their mobile phones every day and fantasize about them... If you keep this attitude, this kind of fantasy about life... will always be just fantasy."

After sending the long article, Yang Jin turned off the computer angrily, as if he had put away all the dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart.

He didn't think posting two Weibo posts in a row was a big deal.

Domestic entertainment emphasizes seniority and hierarchy.

How many years has he debuted?
How many years has Sung Cheng been in the industry?
What's more, he has a master's degree, which is rare in the domestic entertainment industry, while Cheng Cheng only has a junior high school education. What's wrong with a master's degree instructing a junior high school student?
Whether in terms of qualifications or aesthetics, he is qualified to guide Cheng Cheng.

Even the audience is the same!
Could the audience understand movies better than him?

The audience will only be confused by the gorgeous pictures and vulgar jokes, how can they understand the profound meaning and artistic pursuit behind the movie? ! The real film art needs a director like him who has profound knowledge and rich experience to lead!

Besides, he had long disliked Cheng Cheng!
A young man in his twenties, who has only emerged in recent years, has been doing some movies, TV series, songs, and novels, and has become a big shot in the circle.

He's not dead yet!
Their generation isn't dead yet!
Moreover, Cheng Cheng is a troublemaker and reckless person. He looks down on Lu Zhuofeng and Tang Ping. He lacks the humility that a young man should have!
Crazy all day long!
The fans are crazy too!

Last year, he started a project and fell in love with a young actress. He wanted to give the actress a chance, but the actress dared to turn his back on him in public!
In his opinion, the current domestic entertainment environment is completely ruined!
Wouldn’t it be great if domestic entertainment remained the same as before?
Back then, domestic entertainment was a place where rules and human relationships were important.

I introduce my nephew, and you introduce your mistress, and we all sit down and think about it, and a project comes out, and we make a lot of money, and everyone is happy.

But now?
Everything has changed since Cheng Cheng, the "troublemaker", appeared.

No one mentions his name anymore! His words are no longer effective in the domestic entertainment industry.

Those young actors were all trying their best to get close to Cheng Cheng and establish a relationship with him.

Isn't he a director?

what?
Is he a director?
Therefore, Yang Jin felt that as a person with a strong sense of responsibility towards the film industry, he stood up to set things right and tell everyone what is right, what are the rules of the film and television industry, and what constitutes a good movie.

A villain like Cheng Cheng should be despised by everyone!
