How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 267 Who says this movie is bad? This movie is amazing!

When Lin Qianqian finished watching the movie "Detective Chinatown" and came out of the cinema, she still felt a little unsatisfied.

This movie is really exciting and good to watch. It has all the laughs and the sense of urgency to solve the case. I have to say that Jiang Yu's acting skills and his writing ability really made Lin Qianqian feel astonished.

Even when she was walking out, Lin Qianqian heard some of the audience members talking about it.

"This Chinatown Detective is really good. I was almost fooled by the online reviews. Jiang Yu's acting is pretty good, and I think the plot is also very good with him as the screenwriter."

"It was indeed a pleasant surprise, haha. After watching it, I still want to watch it again. If I have time in a couple of days, I will find a chance to watch it again. It's so funny."

"I feel like everything said online is unreliable. If we listened to what they said online, we would have missed out on such a wonderful movie."

……

Hearing what the audience members around her were saying, Lin Qianqian felt the same way. If she hadn't wanted to see what "Detective Chinatown" was like, she would have missed such a wonderful movie.

"You can go back and make a video about your viewing experience."

Lin Qianqian thought to herself, such a wonderful movie is definitely worth watching. Those people online were prejudiced against Jiang Yu before, even though he had never been a screenwriter before and had no works online.

But Jiang Yu is really a talented player. Whether it's writing songs, scripts, or acting, he's really good at everything.

Although it sounds unbelievable, the facts are there before our eyes. Sometimes geniuses really do exist.

This is Jiang Yu's first time acting as the male lead and his first time as a screenwriter, and the effect is so good that it is truly amazing.

Lin Qianqian found it a little unbelievable, but after watching the movie with her own eyes, she had to admire Jiang Yu's talent and genius.

……

At this moment, Liu Yufei had just finished watching a movie with her sisters and was having dinner in the mall.

While eating, Liu Yufei was chatting with her good sister about the movie "Detective Chinatown" they watched today.

"Wow! Yufei, I really didn't expect Detective Chinatown to be this good. It's so exciting. And Jiang Yu's acting and screenwriting skills are really amazing. He performed so well in his first time as the leading actor and screenwriter. It's amazing. He is indeed a talented contestant!"

As soon as they came out of the cinema, Liu Yufei's good sister kept chattering, talking about the movie and praising Jiang Yu.

Even Liu Yufei, a die-hard fan of Jiang Yu, wasn't as excited as she was. Seeing her best friend like that, Liu Yufei just smiled and joked.

"You didn't mention Jiang Yu before, but he's a good songwriter and singer. Looking at you now, I feel like you're almost a fan of him."

Hearing Liu Yufei's words, the good sister spoke with a smile.

"I'm speaking the truth. Look, you're not happy that I praised your idol. But seriously, Jiang Yu is so talented. Not only can he write songs and sing, but now he can act and write scripts. Woo woo woo, God, such an outstanding man, it would be great if he was my boyfriend."

Hearing her best sister's words and seeing her infatuated look, Liu Yufei was slightly stunned and asked her best sister.

"No, didn't you say before that he was too fickle? You don't look for a boyfriend like that. Why did you change your mind today?"

"Hehe, I think it's okay for outstanding boys to be more emotional. If I were that outstanding, I would definitely change my boyfriend every month."

Liu Yufei held her forehead and smiled bitterly. Her good sister had changed so quickly.

……

As for Lin Qianqian, after returning home, she directly recorded a video of her review of the movie, in which she talked about her feelings after watching "Detective Chinatown".

"Today I went to see a movie that's on the May Day holiday, Director Chen's new film, Detective Chinatown. I saw a lot of people online worrying about whether it would be good because Jiang Yu was the screenwriter. I went to see it today, and my impression is that it's fantastic! As a comedy detective film, it has funny moments and is interesting. Jiang Yu's acting is also very good, and there's no need to worry about the plot. It's really like Director Chen and others said, Jiang Yu is very talented, and the plot he wrote as a screenwriter is really good and exciting..."

In the five-minute video, Lin Feifei basically spent the entire video praising Jiang Yu and the movie.

"Everyone, don't worry, I'm not a shill. Regardless of what people say online, you can go and see it. And from what I've seen, the audience at our show generally gave the film very high praise. Today is the first day the film has been online, and many viewers have already gone to see it. I'm sure many netizens will soon be saying that this film is truly worth seeing..."

Not long after Lin Qianqian posted this video, it became a hot topic on the short video platform thanks to her own popularity as well as the popularity of Jiang Yu and others.

"Wow? Qianqian's wife has already gone to see this movie? Seeing what Qianqian's wife said, I'm really curious. I'm going to go see what this movie is like tomorrow."

"Wow, what a pity! Why am I not in the same cinema with Qianqian's wife? I wanted to run into her by chance."

"Really! The movie Detective Chinatown is really good. I went to see it this afternoon and it was really exciting. Jiang Yu's acting and screenwriting skills are really amazing! It's amazing!"

"Yes, I went to see it too. It's really good and I highly recommend it. Before, everyone may have doubted Jiang Yu's ability as a screenwriter for the first time. But now that the movie is released, I've already seen it. Everyone should really go for it. You definitely won't regret it."

"Who says this movie is bad? This movie is great! It's definitely worth watching!"

"Huh? Is that true? I just watched Crime Squad today and it was just okay. If Detective Chinatown is really good, I'm going to watch it tomorrow."

"Brother, I watched two movies today. I watched Crime Squad in the afternoon and Detective Chinatown in the evening. To be honest, I still think Detective Chinatown is more exciting. I'm not lying to you. Go for it."

……

It wasn't just Lin Qianqian who started speaking out. More and more netizens who watched the movie today were spontaneously sharing photos and movie tickets of themselves, and they were basically praising the movie.

All of a sudden, by the evening, the reputation of the movie "Detective Chinatown" began to ferment.

Online, more and more viewers who saw the film "Detective Chinatown" today are starting to speak out. Originally relatively quiet, with the voices of blogger Lin Qianqian and many netizens, "Detective Chinatown" has been trending multiple times in the evening.

"Chinatown Detective reputation!"

"Detective Chinatown is so good!" "Jiang Yu is a pleasant surprise!"

"Jiang Yu is amazing as a screenwriter!"

“Detective Chinatown is the best on May Day!”

……

Terms like these are frequently trending, with half of the top ten searches related to the film "Detective Chinatown." Even Warner Bros.' "Crime Squad," which topped the pre-sale box office, only had three trending searches tonight.

"I highly recommend everyone to watch Detective Chinatown. I just watched it today and it's really good. I also read online that I thought Jiang Yu's screenwriting would ruin the movie. But because my girlfriend likes Jiang Yu, I went to see it with her, and the result was really beyond my expectations. Jiang Yu's performance in the movie was wonderful, his acting was great, and the plot was also interesting. His screenwriting ability is very strong."

"It's really good. My girlfriend and I bought tickets during the pre-sale period. I was planning to refund the tickets after seeing what was said online. But after thinking about it, I decided to go and see it. The result really surprised me. The movie is really good."

"Is this true? Is Detective Chinatown really that good? Could it be that they paid some scammers?"

"No lie, it's really good. I watched two movies today, one is "Crime Squad" and the other is "Detective Chinatown 2." I think "Crime Squad" is not as good as "Detective Chinatown 2."

"Indeed, I feel that Crime Squad is very average. The plot is too lame compared to those previous Hong Kong films. Moreover, the male lead is a popular star, a fresh-faced young man, and his acting is average. If it weren't for those veteran actors and actresses supporting me, I wouldn't be able to watch it."

……

As word of mouth for "Detective Chinatown" spread, more and more people online began buying tickets for the upcoming screenings. Even the next day, Yang Xue, Su Muwan, Song Yuqing, Director Yu, Lin Yi, and Jiang Yu's artist Yang Zihan all posted pictures of themselves supporting Jiang Yu's film.

"The movie is wonderful, I highly recommend it to everyone, it is definitely a must-see movie this year!"

"Support Boss Movie, it's really good!"

……

So many celebrities posted messages of support and some even went to see the movie, which added a lot of popularity to the movie "Detective Chinatown".

On the second day, the box office of the movie "Detective Chinatown" began to soar.

The pre-sale and first day box office results just broke 80 million, while "Crime Squad" broke 130 million.

As a result, on the second day, by the evening, the movie "Detective Chinatown" bucked the trend and directly broke the 140 million box office, which was only 30 million away from the 170 million box office of "Crime Squad".

And everyone has noticed that the box office growth of the movie "Crime Squad" is not that strong today. It has only increased by about 4,500 in one day. Judging from the single-day box office growth, "Detective Chinatown" is obviously higher.

This made Warner's Chu Shaoyang a little confused.

It was fine yesterday, why is the box office growth a bit slow today?
Just because "Detective Chinatown" saw a big increase in revenue today, it snatched away all the box office revenue that should have belonged to them?

Last night, the reputation of the movie "Detective Chinatown" suddenly exploded, which Chu Shaoyang also noticed. However, at that time, he did not expect that the box office growth of their movie would slow down today. Moreover, the box office of Jiang Yu's movie "Detective Chinatown" would rise so quickly.

According to this trend, it is estimated that tomorrow's box office will surpass their movie "Crime Squad".

Are you going to be defeated by Jiang Yuchao?

Ha ha……

Chu Shaoyang would never allow such a thing to happen. Furthermore, their film, "Crime Squad," had a significant investment. Many scenes were shot on location, especially the explosions and car bombings, which were all real footage. Adding in the salaries of veteran actors and award-winning actors, the investment was roughly two hundred million yuan. Add in the publicity costs, and the cost would have been even higher.

Although it seems that the box office can reach 200 million now, in fact, the money they get is not that much.

The cinema chain takes the lion's share, and with other expenses, Warner only gets a portion. If they want to recoup their investment, the box office of this movie must reach 500 million or more.

And this is just to recoup the investment. If you want to make money, you need to get more box office revenue.

Seeing Jiang Yu's movie following closely behind, seemingly ready to surpass them at any moment. Coupled with some of the previous events with Jiang Yu, Chu Shaoyang couldn't stand it anymore. He absolutely couldn't lose like this.

He simply picked up his phone and called the person in charge of the relevant department of the company.

"No matter what method you use, whether it's increased publicity or marketing, keep the box office steady. We absolutely cannot let anyone overtake us!"

The person in charge over there felt a little embarrassed when he heard his boss's request.

"Um... Boss, this Chinatown Detective series has been incredibly popular, and its popularity is skyrocketing. Regarding us..."

However, before he could finish his words, Chu Shaoyang interrupted him.

"I told you, no matter what method you use, you have to keep it stable. At the very least, you have to make this movie break 500 million at the box office. If you can't even do that, what's the point of the company supporting you!"

Chu Shaoyang didn't want to hear any negative words. Although Warner Bros. was best at TV series, not movies, they felt they were definitely better than Jiang Yu in the film and television field.

If the movie invested by their company lost to Jiang Yu now, wouldn’t it be a joke?
What's more, Chu Shaoyang had always disliked Jiang Yu and had been fighting him for a long time. He would never allow the movie starring Jiang Yu to reach the top of the list this time.

"Jiang Yu, haha, if you want to take first place, I won't let you get it so easily."

This time it was a movie, and the next clash would be on a TV series. Chu Shaoyang knew very well that Jiang Yu's "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" had already wrapped up, and their "The Legend of the Great Wilderness" had also wrapped up, so there was a high probability that they would clash.

If the movie loses this time, doesn’t it mean that Warner Bros. is no match for Jiang Yu, a crappy director?
