The group was kicked out, and low presence means they are bad?

Chapter 374 Go Your Own Way

"I think Bai Xingjian is still very likely to be planning to shoot a movie with big scenes. The 508 extras he recruited is strong evidence."

Xu Chen expressed his own views.

Shen Bowen nodded when he heard this. "That's a possibility, but it's not a good idea to speculate now. Let's wait for your informant to send out more information before discussing it."

Having said that, Shen Bowen no longer wanted to continue chatting with Xu Chen and was ready to let him go.

But Xu Chen quickly said another piece of news: "Mr. Shen, I got a piece of news from a well-known paparazzi. It should be very important."

"Then hurry up and tell me." Shen Bowen said directly.

Xu Chen smiled and said, "Bai Xingjian seems to be recruiting actors from Coria. It is said that he has reached cooperation agreements with several well-known actors from Coria. I wonder if his purpose in doing so is related to the hundreds of extras he is currently recruiting."

After saying this, Xu Chen mentioned the names of several well-known Corea actors that Bai Xingjian had contacted.

"Ok?"

Shen Bowen was a little stunned when he heard the news.

What is this scenario?
Bai Xingjian is actually recruiting actors from Corea?

And they are all well-known actors. Is he going to venture into the Korean entertainment industry again?

Shen Bowen clenched his fists, tapped his forehead with the knuckles of his thumbs, and fell into deep thought.

It was not until a long while later that he frowned and said:
"So what if there is a connection? Anyway, what Bai Xingjian is doing now has nothing to do with "The Three-Body Problem" and "All or Nothing". Are they planning some new film and television projects? But which films and TV series require Coreans to act? Or does he simply want to impact Corea's film market?

No, no, the movie market in Coria is so small, Bai Xingjian wouldn't be so obsessed with it, right? Could it be related to Korean dramas?"

The more Shen Bowen thought about it, the more he felt that Bai Xingjian seemed to be planning to make a move in the Korean drama field.

After all, he has already achieved great success in the domestic film market, and he is also busy filming domestic TV series. It makes sense for him to take some time off and set his sights on the foreign film and television market.

But I haven't heard that there are Korean dramas in Corea that require hundreds of extras?

The movie is pretty good.

But Bai Xingjian is not going to make a Korean movie, so what does he want to do?
A Korean drama that creates a new genre?
Thinking of this, Shen Bowen took a breath.

He felt as if he had grasped something in the dark, because this seemed like something Bai Xingjian could do.

After thinking this through, Shen Bowen's mouth curled up: "If Bai Xingjian really intends to film a Korean drama, then he will probably be skinned alive if he doesn't die."

Xu Chen agreed with Shen Bowen's idea. He smiled and asked, "Mr. Shen, should we do something?"

Shen Bowen smiled and nodded, "Of course we have to do it, but we can't rush it now. Let's observe the situation for a while before we take our time. After all, Bai Xingjian is in the open, and we are in the dark. If we can replicate the scene of Bai Xingjian's last unspoken rule incident, I'm afraid Bai Xingjian will be hit hard, right?"

……

"What's going on now? Why does it feel like those people have disappeared after reporting to Phoenix Pictures? There's no news about them at all?"

A girl from Linjiang Normal University, Wang Peini said with confusion.

She has been following Phoenix Pictures' online recruitment of extras, but since October 10, when the extras reported to Phoenix Pictures, the relevant news seemed to have been intentionally blocked.

So much so that when Wang Pei Ni searched for information related to this incident on major social platforms, all the information was from October 10th or even earlier.

"I guess they signed a confidentiality agreement. What else could it be? So many people can't just disappear out of thin air, right?"

Liu Yue didn't care about it at all: "Besides, that's the capital, it's very safe."

Lai Jie nodded heavily, agreeing with Liu Yue's opinion: "It can only be said that Bai Xingjian's Phoenix Pictures is quietly doing something big, probably preparing some big surprise for us!"

As a loyal fan of Bai Xingjian, Lai Jie naturally trusts him unconditionally.

"But it's not possible that hundreds of people didn't even reveal the news, right? There are marketing accounts on the Internet saying that this is a marketing campaign directed and performed by Phoenix Pictures itself."

Wang Pei Ni held up her phone and said, “Look, there are quite a few marketing accounts like this.”

"Damn it, these marketing accounts are really just too idle now. When the incident got out of hand, they said Bai Xingjian and his team were occupying public resources. Now that they are no longer occupying public resources, they say this is just marketing by them. No matter what they say, these marketing accounts are right."

Liu Yue couldn't help but speak sweetly.

"As for these marketing accounts, I guess Bai Xingjian won't pay any attention to them. Just pretend nothing happened." Lai Jie also waved her hand, not wanting to discuss this topic too much.

"That's true, but how come someone on Weibo revealed that Bai Xingjian was recruiting actors from Coria, and they were all famous ones."

Rossi interrupted at this moment and said, "Do you think this revelation is true or false? There are even secretly taken pictures."

While speaking, Rossi had already shared the relevant post in their chat group.

Soon, Wang Pei Ni, Liu Yue and Lai Jie, whose attention was drawn, also finished reading the relevant content.

Then, some rather strange expressions appeared on their faces.

"What's going on with Bai Xingjian? Is it because "All or Nothing" was badly criticized by the netizens in Corea? So he plans to go there to make a movie to slap those Corea netizens in the face?"

Liu Yue blinked her eyes, with a teasing smile on her lips.

"I feel like it's possible." Wang Penny nodded.

"This seems like something Bai Xingjian would do." Lai Jie felt the same way.

All or Nothing was exported overseas in September, and the film was naturally released in Corea as well.

And the popularity is quite high.

After all, many netizens in Corea are quite familiar with Bai Xingjian, and during the release of "All or Nothing" in Corea, the group Galaxy Girls also enthusiastically recommended this movie to the people of Corea.

Then, All or Nothing flopped in Corea.

This caused a lot of ridicule from the residents of Coria.

The point of the group's ridicule is also very simple.

[Not painful or itchy], [It's the same as not seeing it], [Bland], [You took off your pants and you show me this? ]

The subject matter and shooting scale of the film "All or Nothing" can be completely described as high school and college students compared to local films in Corea.

"All or Nothing" is naturally about high school students.

That’s why the highly anticipated residents of Correa seem rather indifferent to this movie. After all, their threshold is already very high, and movies like All or Nothing can’t touch their excitement at all.

The introduction of Corea in "All or Nothing" can be regarded as a typical example of a game that failed to adapt to the local environment.

Even now, I guess on some social platforms of Corea, you can still see some voices cursing "All or Nothing", Bai Xingjian, and Galaxy Girl.

The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Bai Xingjian's "All in One" deeply disappointed the residents of Corea.

Therefore, Liu Yue, Wang Pei Ni and Lai Jie had this kind of teasing reaction after reading the post shared by Luo Xi.

"But the film market in Coria is so small, can Bai Xingjian really make a profit by doing this?"

Wang Penny said very doubtfully.

"Although the film market in Correa is small, the film market in our country right now is actually not much better."

Liu Yue crossed her arms and expressed her opinion with a smile, "And if Bai Xingjian plans to make a movie in Kauria, he will definitely choose a movie with an international theme. Otherwise, if he really targets the audience only to the residents of Kauria, Bai Xingjian will probably lose a lot of money."

Although Liu Yue is not optimistic about the domestic film market, there are too few residents in Korea. Even if the domestic film market is bad, it can still crush Korea in all aspects in terms of the number of moviegoers.

After all, the population of Coria is so small, which puts it at a disadvantage from the root.

"Can Bai Xingjian really handle a movie with an international theme?" Rossi said with a hint of doubt.

Wang Pei Ni glared at her after hearing this. "Bai Xingjian has already written The Three-Body Problem, so what's wrong with making an international movie? Isn't that a piece of cake?"

Hearing this, Lai Jie chuckled, "Although Bai Xingjian is indeed quite powerful, we can't blindly trust him, and we can't open the champagne so early."

Liu Yue nodded and said, "That's true, but what I'm more curious about now is whether there is a certain connection between Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi's recruitment of actors from Coria and the 508 extras who reported to Phoenix Pictures.

If there is a connection between them, what kind of connection is it?
And if there is no connection, then Phoenix Pictures seems to have a lot of business recently."

Lai Jie said thoughtfully: "Maybe there is a certain connection, or maybe it is completely unrelated. Why are we caring so much? Sooner or later, news will be exposed."

"That's right, we just need to wait patiently. Anyway, either this year or next year, I guess Bai Xingjian will shoot something unexpected."

Wang Penny said excitedly.

As they discussed this topic, she became a little excited.

"But before some definite news comes out, Bai Xingjian seems to be facing another wave of public opinion."

Luo Xi interrupted at this time and said: "In the comment section of these Weibo posts, many people have already started to criticize Bai Xingjian. Tsk tsk, they are really scolding him without any mercy."

"Well, it's just what I expected. I don't even bother to read these comments."

Liu Yue sneered, with an expression as if it had nothing to do with me.

Lai Jie nodded and said with a smile: "Just go your own way and let others scold you!"

"Hehehe, I'm going to help Bai Xingjian with his output, to train my mental endurance and my ability to organize my language."

Wang Penny smiled foolishly, turned over and sat up in bed, then slid down from the upper bunk, opened her laptop and prepared to confront the trolls on Weibo.

"I'm coming too, I'm coming too!"

Luo Xi joined Wang Penny's team, "How can I be absent from this kind of thing?"

……

On Weibo, the news about Bai Xingjian's contact with a famous actor from Corea has become a hot search and even entered the top ten of the hot search list.

This naturally aroused heated discussions among countless netizens.

[So Bai Xingjian really started to take action because All or Nothing was criticized so badly in Corea? ]

[Support! Support! I look forward to Bai Xingjian making a novel movie to give those Korea people a slap in the face. The place is not big, but the requirements are not small. They can find so many faults in such a good movie like "All or Nothing". ]

[Is All or Nothing a good movie? Eat something good, man!]

[Is the quality of the movie "All or Nothing" not good enough? If it is not good enough, can it sell for 4 billion at the box office? ]

[What’s the big deal about a box office of 4 billion? Can we judge the quality of a movie based solely on its box office? ]

[All or Nothing is a pure commercial film, neither good nor bad. The reason why this film can have such a high box office is also due to the publicity and promotion methods created by Bai Xingjian.]

[666, even if the promotion is good, the movie will not make billion at the box office if the quality is not good! Isn’t "Survivor" a perfect example? ]

[What kind of example is "Survivor"? The reason why this movie performed so poorly at the box office was purely because it was boycotted by Fenghuang Yufei's fans. ]

[No, why did you change the subject? Are you trying to hide something?]

[Ah? How can this be concealed? ]

[Bai Xingjian would rather go to Coria to find actors there to make a movie than to find actors in China. Doesn't this show that you fans are covering up for him?]

【? ? ? ? ? 】

[Wasn't All or Nothing released just recently? This movie hasn't even been released yet, do you haters have to have such a damaged memory?]

[So this is not an excuse for Bai Xingjian to like Korea, right? After all, this is not the first time that Bai Xingjian likes Korea.]

[So it was Bai Xingjian's fault for opening up overseas markets? You guys are so disgusting for making irresponsible remarks and accusing others without thinking about it! ]

[Fuck, could it be that the Americans' saturation attack has started to work again? Can I also make some money from the $16 billion?]

[That’s right! If you have a way to make money, share it with everyone so that they can make money together. Don’t eat it all by yourself!!]

Although netizens on Weibo have been discussing Bai Xingjian's recruitment of Corea actors.

However, many people have noticed that the unfriendly voices towards Bai Xingjian in public opinion this time seem to have decreased a lot compared with the past.

There are even many people who support Bai Xingjian's approach.

This situation also made some people anxious.
