Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 649: Excessive Entertainment

This National Day is still a scene of celebration across the country, with crowds of people everywhere.

There are huge crowds of people at tourist destinations and major cinemas, but some are happy while others are worried.

The one who is worried is Da Hei Niu. Being kicked out of "Running Man" is an established fact, and his girlfriend Fan Xiaopang can't convince the principal either.

But the principal was already giving face by talking so much to Fat Fan.

Fang Hong was not afraid that she would tell Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang of Huayi. This was an open conspiracy, and Huayi would have to use all its abilities to deal with it.

But Fat Fan wouldn't be so tactless as to say these things to Huayi.

Several stars who signed a bet with Huayi are also worried. They were supposed to share the burden, but this time, Big Black Bull was brought down.

Then all the pressure is shared by other people.

For example, Dabaobei, Feng Shaofeng, etc.

Huayi is also working on how to deal with Yutu. If they don't give it a try, they will never let the principal give up on dealing with them.

In fact, Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang really don’t want to fight with the principal anymore. They both want to call the principal to negotiate, so that we can put aside our grudges, coexist peacefully, and stop fighting.

But no, it's not possible. I can't accept it because of my reputation. After all, I am still a big boss. Even if I am weak, I am still a big boss.

In fact, they do have countermeasures. "Where Are We Going, Dad?" has bad guidance, differences in educational concepts, children's ethics, etc., and has always been controversial.

The negative aspects of this program could have been magnified and destroyed, but due to Mango TV, nothing has been done.

Now that the principal wants them to suffer losses, they can also make the principal suffer losses.

Recently, the word-of-mouth of "Charlotte's Troubles" has been growing, and the single-day box office on October 10th exceeded 6 million yuan.

On October 10th, it was also 7 million, the numbers are very close.

The total box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" in 8 days was 5.58 million yuan, ranking first in the National Day holiday.

"Lost in Hong Kong" was released during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The movie has grossed over 14 billion yuan, but it is no longer strong. After the National Day, the box office was only million yuan, which is far behind "Charlotte's Troubles".

As time goes by, the popularity of "Lost in Hong Kong" is less and less than "Charlotte's Troubles".

People on the Internet, or the audience, only remember the comedy "Charlotte's Troubles" and have forgotten "Lost in Hong Kong", which has been completely overshadowed by its reputation.

Even if the box office is not as good, its reputation will completely overshadow it.

To be honest, "Lost in Hong Kong" was a hastily made money-making movie with an unpolished plot, but it also ruined its reputation.

As for other movies, the box office of "Battle of the Demons" was okay, exceeding 5.5 million. LeTV is still very strong now, but it is also weak.

The daily box office is around 10 million.

This movie was extremely exciting in the early stages, but it got worse in the later stages and was criticized by the audiences, who called it a bad movie and a plagiarism.

As for King Liu's "Saving Mr. Wu", needless to say, it barely made over 100 million, and now it's only a few million a day.

It seems that all his fans have disappeared. They just shout their support for him online, but in reality they vote with their feet.

This is also a very embarrassing thing for King Andy Lau, his fame is completely unable to support the box office. People say he is dedicated, popular, and his fame is unmatched among Hong Kong stars.

But it just can’t carry the box office, which is very embarrassing.

But it's not his fault. Movies are like this, more like industrial products. That is to say, they have to be well produced and have a good reputation. Otherwise, people will not buy into it.

King Liu had no choice but to work hard at acting to prove himself.

On October 10, another major event happened in the entertainment industry, which is enough to cover up all the big melons and struggles in the entertainment industry today.

Huang Xiaoming and his big baby got married at the Shanghai Exhibition Center!
This wedding can be said to have attracted worldwide attention. Although there were not as many celebrity guests as the one attended by Fang Hong and Liu Tianxian, there were still quite a few. Half of the people in the entertainment industry went, even Xiao Wang went.

Of course Fang Hong and Liu Tianxian didn't go, they were just filming.

Fang Hong didn't care about this matter, but she asked Liu Tianxian why she didn't go to Huang Xiaoming's wedding, since she had come to attend their wedding last time.

You can still spare a day.

"It was too high-profile and too commercial. I felt like I wasn't attending a wedding but an advertisement.

Besides, she and I are just acquaintances, not even friends, so it’s enough to just give her the gift money, there’s no need to join in the fun.” Liu Tianxian said.

There were many sponsorships for the wedding advertisements. The wedding dress was sponsored by Dior; the wedding ring was sponsored by Chaumet Paris; the wedding car was sponsored by Rolls-Royce Phantom; the Dove chocolate custom gift box; the camera was sponsored by Casio;

There are too many, including The Fauvism, Tom Ford, Chaumet, etc. as its sponsors.

Not only are hotel admission and air tickets offered at a discount or for free, the price is that their brand logo must appear at the wedding scene.

The wedding was sponsored by a local wedding company in Shanghai, and they also wanted to show off their brand.

Even the venue costs of the Shanghai Exhibition Center were offset by brand replacement, and they were so stingy that not even a penny of the venue fee was paid.

People always say Fang Hong is stingy, but these people are even stingier than him.

Not only were many items and brands sponsored, but even the publishing rights, that is, the publishing rights for pictures, texts, and videos, were sold to Tencent Entertainment for 500 million yuan.

Promotional resources such as Weibo hot searches and celebrity interactions were also sold to major social media promotion platforms at a price of 200 million.

Of course, I didn’t buy Toutiao and Bilibili, I just moved them here directly.

This is yet another copyright dispute.

But when Fang Hong got married, all the pictures, texts and videos were made available to the entire Internet for free. If they want to charge copyright fees, all the platforms will be held responsible, which is a cause for controversy.

Huang Xiaoming’s entire wedding was exposed over 10 billion times on the Internet, and the total sponsorship value was nearly 1 million.

Adding up all these values, it is possible that the wedding would cost over 200 million.

However, his expenses are worthwhile, and a lot of them are paid by others. It is different from Fang Hong actually spending money to get married. "Southern Metropolis Entertainment Weekly" made a special analysis on the cost of weddings.

He analyzed everything from the venue to the jewelry to the sponsorship, including the public relations, hot search maintenance, press releases, etc., and calculated the cost at 200 million.

This has caused some netizens to raise various questions.

"Even the wedding candies are custom-made by Dove, the souvenirs are filled with advertisements, and the wedding dresses and jewelry are all sold. Is this a wedding or a commercial conference?"

"That's right. A few months ago, the principal married Liu Tianxian. I didn't see any advertisements and the marriage was very low-key. Did Huang Xiaoming and Dabaobei have no money and were unwilling to spend the money? The difference is obvious."

"The trending searches are dominating, press releases are flying everywhere, and they want the whole world to know about their wedding. How vain!"

"Huang Xiaoming's words 'let Baby be a princess' are obviously acting. True love doesn't need to be so deliberate."

"I've never heard the principal say he loves Liu Tianxian, but he actually spent money on her."

"The whole place is full of gold and glitter, like the aesthetics of nouveau riche, without any sense of luxury."

"The fleet of Rolls-Royces, the antique Crowns... other than showing off wealth, there is no artistic value in them."

"The Chinese wedding of the principal and Liu Tianxian is still the best. Although it is also luxurious, the whole process is full of ceremony."

"Half of the entertainment industry was invited just to show off their connections. The wedding became a Vanity Fair social."

"I heard that the artists who didn't receive an invitation were mocked by the media for being 'not popular enough'. How snobbish."

"We still don't know who Liu Tianxian invited to her wedding. The list has never been revealed."

There were both good and bad things said about this wedding, but there was no doubt that it was being compared to the wedding of Liu Tianxian and Fang Hong a few months ago.

This is normal. The principal and Huang Xiaoming; Liu Tianxian and Dabaobei are still comparable.

Even the Chinese wedding attires worn by the two women were compared, and there was really no comparison.

Liu Tianxian's is handmade with pure gold wire and cost hundreds of millions; Dabaobei's is only a few million and it was sponsored, so how can they compare?

But netizens like to compare the two.

There is no harm without comparison. Huang Xiaoming and Dabaobei feel uncomfortable, but there is nothing they can do as they cannot do anything to the netizens.

It's impossible to do anything to the principal. Even if he doesn't care about the money, he still cares about it.

The wedding topped the hot search list for three days, bringing great commercial value and fan economic value to Dabaobe and Huang Xiaoming.

Just after their wedding dominated the screen for a few days, another series of public opinion hype began.

"Star children reduced to 'money-making tools'? Cute kids from 'Where Are We Going, Dad?' revealed to earn tens of millions a year from endorsements!"

"A 5-year-old child is being monitored by cameras 24 hours a day! Experts angrily criticized: This is not a reality show, it is real-life exploitation!"

"Tian Liang's daughter dislikes rural toilets! "Where Are We Going, Dad?" was criticized for being rich and ruining people's worldview!"

"Kimi's words 'I am a prince' angered the public! What is wrong with China's elite education?"

"A cute kid memorized his lines until the early hours? Netizens dug out the show's script, evidence: the family love was all acted!"

"."

Over-commercialization and scripting have caused controversy over educational concepts and values.

Public opinion has been overwhelmingly criticizing the program for its incorrect values, violation of children's privacy, and various other negative aspects.

These controversies exist in every corner of the Internet, including portals, social networks, Weibo, Bilibili and Toutiao, and they cannot be deleted.

The criticism was so loud that netizens could see the news push just by opening their phones.

The level of heated public opinion shocked even Mr. Wang and his wife.

"Fuck, when did our power become so great?" Mr. Wang was surprised.

If they have such ability, they will definitely fight with the principal without any fear. It's too scary. There was no such public opinion when Huang Xiaoming and Dabaobei got married.

That one is nothing compared to this one.

"You think this is our energy, this is other TV stations, the capital is helping us."

The King paused and continued, "There are a few other local TV stations that don't want this program to disappear because it takes up too much viewership.

The investors behind other variety shows also want this show to fail so that there will be one less competitor.”

It is still competition in essence. Huayi just started it, and other forces and capital pounced like sharks smelling blood.

Of course Huayi should take the blame for this, as they started it first.

"If we really kill this show, I don't know how the principal and Mango will deal with us!"

"."

In fact, whether they kill the show or not, Fang Hong will deal with them. In fact, in his heart, this show should have died long ago.

Even if these people don't kill "Where Are We Going, Dad?", he will kill the show himself.

Go to excessive entertainment! There must be a limit on children!
With such a huge negative impact on society, the higher authorities will definitely issue a document to prohibit minors from over-consuming on TV shows, which is another wave of policy push.

Other parent-child programs, big and small, such as "Dad is Back" and "Where Are We Going, Grandpa?" are all going to die.

This is a tactic that hurts yourself 1000 and hurts the enemy 1000. As I said, it depends on who can withstand it.

Fang Hong doesn't care whether "Where Are We Going, Dad?" survives or not. He is determined to get rid of Dabaobei's endorsement and make sure they fail to fulfill the bet.
