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

After the preview of "Labyrinth of Desire" in Shanghai, interviews with relevant reporters and some discussions about the film also made it to the hot search list on Weibo.

However, the first and second places on Weibo’s hot search list are still occupied by the IP amusement parks of "Dying to Survive" and "Squid Game".

Therefore, "Maze of Desire" cannot get the majority of the traffic on Weibo's hot search list.

But despite this, there are still many netizens discussing topics related to the movie "Labyrinth of Desire".

After all, the base of domestic netizens is really large.

The most heatedly discussed question among netizens was the answer given by Xu Changhong, the director of "Labyrinth of Desire".

Many netizens were amused when they saw his interview.

[No, is Xu Changhong so sincere now? ]

[Not only was he sincere, he actually praised Bai Xingjian, and even said that the box office of the movie "Dying to Survive" might exceed 10 billion, becoming the highest-grossing movie in domestic film history.]

[Overpraising to death! This is unquestionably naked overpraising to death! ]

[I don't think this is over-praising, right? After all, everyone has seen the movies produced by Bai Xingjian. Previously, "All or Nothing" had a box office of 40 billion. Now "Dying to Survive" is also linked with "Squid Game". In addition, Bai Xingjian is also well-known abroad. From this point of view, as long as there is no problem with the content of "Dying to Survive", the domestic box office plus the foreign box office may really exceed the billion mark! ]

[It seems to be true! ]

[So are these words really said by Xu Changhong? Are you sure they are not synthesized by AI? ]

[What is this called? This is called being able to bend and stretch! ]

[How can this be called resilience? I can only say that I saw a desperate film team.]

[That’s right! The linkage between “Dying to Survive” and “Squid Game”, which domestic film and television company can bear it? With the popularity of “Squid Game” and the size of Phoenix Pictures, there are almost no such companies, right? ]

[How could there not be? It’s just that some people behind the companies don’t bother to do marketing, otherwise they would give Phoenix Pictures a bad look in a minute.]

[It's really funny. Which company can give Phoenix Pictures a hard time now? You haters are fantasizing again, right? ]

[Something is wrong. It's definitely wrong. According to the relationship between Qingmu Entertainment and Bai Xingjian, this group of people shouldn't be so nice to Bai Xingjian this time!]

[What could be wrong with this? We all come here to make a living. Now that Bai Xingjian is at the peak of his career, it is normal for Qingmu Entertainment to avoid him or even show him good intentions.]

【This is the truth! 】

……

Aoki Entertainment.

Office of the Chairman.

"Mr. Shen, how is it? We did the opposite this time. Did we get good results?"

Sitting on the sofa in the lounge area, Zhang Hongtao asked Shen Bowen with a faint smile on his face.

Shen Bowen was sitting on a single sofa with a tablet in his hand. He was currently browsing netizens' opinions on Weibo about the preview of "Labyrinth of Desire".

Hearing what Zhang Hongtao said, Shen Bowen grinned and nodded with a smile:
“It was indeed a little beyond my expectations. Although there was no sharp conflict with Bai Xingjian, the heat was not very high.

But many netizens on Weibo seem to be thinking about us, which is really rare!"

At the end of his words, Shen Bowen couldn't help but sigh.

As for the "sincerity" and "submissive" attitude shown by this group of people at the preview of "Labyrinth of Desire", these were actually ideas proposed by Zhang Hongtao.

The main reason is that the collaboration between "Dying to Survive" and "Squid Game" has become an unstoppable scene.

If Aoki Entertainment continues to be stubborn, the fate of the movie "Labyrinth of Desire" may be no different from that of Guangying Film and Television's previous "Survivor".

If that's the case, then why bother continuing to be stubborn? It's better to surrender to Bai Xingjian.

After all, netizens are naturally empathetic towards "vulnerable groups".

Judging from the current public opinion environment that Aoki Entertainment has gained, this move they have made is very correct.

"Well, I still feel that Xu Changhong's statement about the 10 billion box office is a bit too flattering."

Wang Yan, who was sitting nearby, expressed his own views.

In response to this question, Shen Bowen smiled and waved his hand, handing the tablet in his hand to Wang Yan:
"In fact, I don't mean to flatter or overpraise. Just look at the explanations given by netizens for the 10 billion box office of "Dying to Survive". I think they make a lot of sense!"

After saying this, Shen Bowen couldn't help laughing.

Obviously, he was quite sarcastic about the 10 billion box office of "Dying to Survive" and the netizen's answer.

Hearing this, Zhang Hongtao also moved closer to Wang Yan and started looking at the contents on the tablet with him.

"It makes sense. It does make sense, but it's too idealistic." Wang Yan said with a smile.

Zhang Hongtao narrowed his eyes, rubbed his chin with his fingers and said:
"In fact, it's not that idealistic. With Bai Xingjian's current influence and the popularity of the drama Squid Game, the box office of Dying to Survive might really break the 100 billion mark. And isn't Dying to Survive an emotional movie? Emotionally, people all over the world share the same feelings, so the box office of Dying to Survive might really be that high this time."

After these words were spoken, Shen Bowen and Wang Yan fell silent.

Mainly because they were both a little convinced.

Shen Bowen smiled bitterly, and then said: "If this is true, then Xu Changhong can probably become a prophet."

After all, Xu Changhong was the first person to suggest that the box office of the movie "Dying to Survive" would exceed 10 billion.

If the box office of "Dying to Survive" really exceeds 10 billion yuan, Xu Changhong might become even more popular because of it.

"Scary, these statistics are really scary, a box office of 10 billion..."

Wang Yan took a deep breath, but he soon calmed down. "But it's not impossible. After all, when Squidward was released, who would have thought that this drama would become so popular all over the world?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. Who made Bai Xingjian such a weird guy?" Zhang Hongtao shook his head helplessly.

Shen Bowen sighed and didn't say anything else.

……

on Weibo.

The remarks made by director Xu Changhong of the film "Labyrinth of Desire" at the preview ceremony are still fermenting.

Among them, the speech that aroused the most discussion among many netizens was Xu Changhong's expectation that the movie "Dying to Survive" could break the 10 billion box office.

Due to the heated discussion among netizens, the term #《我是药神》10亿盒勁# has even been listed on the hot search list of Weibo. [Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there has not been a movie with a box office of 10 billion in China, and given the current sluggish film market, even if Bai Xingjian came, I don't think he would be able to do it.]

[Overpraising! This is simply blatant overpraising! ]

[Do people nowadays not take the 10 billion box office seriously? Even if Squidward is very popular, what does it matter if Dying to Survive is produced by Bai Xingjian? If the content is not good, how can it still have a 10 billion box office? It would be good enough to surpass All or Nothing. 】

[Besides, isn’t “Dying to Survive” still a comedy? The box office of comedy movies in China has never exceeded 30 billion, and this time it has reached billion. I can only say that Xu Changhong is either stupid or evil to say such a thing.]

[No, do you have so little confidence in Bai Xingjian? I personally feel that the box office of the movie "Dying to Survive" has a real chance of breaking through 10 billion this time! ]

[That’s right! Bai Xingjian now has some influence all over the world. As long as “Dying to Survive” does a good job in exporting, it shouldn’t be a problem for the total box office to exceed 10 billion, right? ]

[Anyway, I support Xu Changhong and I also believe in Bai Xingjian. I Am Not a God of Medicine will soon break through the 10 billion box office! ]

"Ten billion box office? Is Xu Changhong's brain okay?"

In a female dormitory of Linjiang Normal University, Wang Pei Ni said speechlessly, "This person seemed so sincere in his previous answers, but he suddenly turned around and gave such a mindless flattery. It turns out that he can't continue the show and is starting to reveal his true thoughts, right?"

"Uh... I actually think what Xu Changhong said is quite right." Lai Jie blinked and looked at Wang Pei Ni somewhat embarrassedly.

Hearing this, Wang Penny's eyes widened instantly, and then she asked in disbelief:

"Xiao Jiejie, are you so confident about the movie "Dying to Survive"?"

Lai Jie hadn't spoken yet, and Liu Yue also spoke up at this moment: "Xu Changhong's idea is not unreasonable. The box office of the movie "Dying to Survive" has exceeded 10 billion. At this point in time, it may really be possible."

"I think you are too confident in Bai Xingjian." Rossi smiled and shook his head.

Obviously, she doesn't think the box office of "Dying to Survive" can exceed 10 billion.

"Hehe, how about this, let's make a bet?" Liu Yue looked at Wang Penny and Luo Xi and raised her eyebrows.

"Oh, come on!" Wang Peini was not afraid at all, and they had made bets before.

Wang Pei Ni is also thinking about avenging her previous humiliation at this moment!

"Well, you guys make the bet this time. I won't participate anyway."

Lai Jie smiled and waved her hands, saying, "What I'm most interested in right now is when the tickets for the fan meeting for 'Dying to Survive' will be sold."

……

Beijing.

In the office of Phoenix Pictures.

When Bai Xingjian saw a clip on Weibo discussing Xu Changhong's reaction to the box office of "Dying to Survive", he was a little unsure how to describe his feelings towards the other party.

Because in Bai Xingjian's heart, he indeed expected this.

"Brother Xingjian, are you so indifferent?"

Looking at the rather nonchalant expression on his face, Mei Jie's eyes flickered with a gleam of light.

"Brother Xingjian, you are not really sure that the box office of 'Dying to Survive' will exceed 10 billion, right?" Mei Jie blinked and asked tentatively.

Bai Xingjian glanced at her after hearing this, then pursed his lips and said after a moment of hesitation:

"Given the quality of the film and the popularity it has generated during the current promotional phase, the box office of "Dying to Survive" is certain to surpass "All or Nothing".

As for breaking through 10 billion... we can only say that we can try to look forward to it."

"No, Brother Xingjian..."

Mei Jie's eyes widened at this moment, and she was obviously surprised by what Bai Xingjian said: "You really have this idea?"

"why not?"

Bai Xingjian spread his hands and said with a smile: "It's just my expectation. It's not like the box office of the movie "Dying to Survive" has reached 10 billion, so Mei Jie, don't be too surprised."

Mei Jie blinked and said nothing.

The main thing is that none of Bai Xingjian’s previous predictions failed to come true.

For example, "Squid Game" was released on April 4st.

Before the series was released, Bai Xingjian was very optimistic about it and believed that "Squid Game" would achieve very good results.

And bringing time back to the present, the facts are indeed so, and things are developing as Bai Xingjian expected.

If we consider it from this perspective, the box office of the movie "Dying to Survive" may actually exceed 10 billion yuan, becoming the number one box office movie in domestic film history.

Thinking of this, Mei Jie suddenly felt that it was quite reasonable for the box office of "Dying to Survive" to exceed 10 billion.

"But I was still surprised by the friendly attitude shown by the people from Aoki Entertainment at the preview of Labyrinth of Desire."

Looking at the content displayed on the computer screen, Bai Xingjian couldn't help but said with a smile.

"I can only say that the people at Aoki Entertainment still have some brains."

When this topic was mentioned, Mei Jie clenched her fists and said angrily:

"We Phoenix Pictures have produced so many good works, who dares to mess with us? Just look at Guangying Pictures, which tried to smear us before, and the consequences were extremely tragic. Now the movie "Dying to Survive" has the blessing of "Squid Game". Even if the people at Qingmu Entertainment were given a hundred guts, they probably wouldn't dare to smear us!"

Looking at Mei Jie's appearance, Bai Xingjian couldn't help laughing.

But as if he thought of something, Bai Xingjian's brows suddenly frowned.

He sighed and said, "We at Phoenix Pictures have completely established our momentum now. There really aren't any competitors trying to take advantage of us, but this also has a downside."

Under Mei Jie's puzzled gaze, Bai Xingjian continued, "If something goes wrong with Phoenix Pictures in the future, then our small mistake will probably be infinitely magnified, and the impact on Phoenix Pictures will probably be huge."

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

Today, Phoenix Pictures has gradually reached this stage.

After all, traffic is a double-edged sword.

Many companies have been built and destroyed by traffic. (End of this chapter)
