I'm just trying to ride the wave of popularity!

Chapter 51 I think I'm fucking famous? (Seeking monthly votes and to keep reading!)
"The lesson learned this time..."

"It is both painful and a wake-up call for me..."

“I had a weak sense of the law before, and I had no idea that I was already teetering on the edge of committing a crime…”

"After being criticized and educated by the public security department, I realized that there are some things I can do and some things I cannot do..."

"..."

On May 7th.

The Beijing Public Security Bureau officially produced a special program on this topic.

The program specifically listed a series of real-life fraud cases, as well as popular science information about fraud...

Basically, when real-life scenes are shown, they are all blurred out, except for a young man wearing glasses who is crying his heart out.

Although the internet was not very developed in 2003, the official website of the Yanjing Municipal Public Security Bureau did not have high traffic and did not initially have much influence.

However, this time the public security department has put in a particularly high level of effort in its anti-fraud publicity campaign.

Not only did the earliest program, "1819," broadcast footage of Zhou Yang weeping and expressing remorse, but subsequent television media outlets, including Zhejiang TV's "888 Golden Eye" program, Shandong TV's "Health and People's Livelihood" program, and even CCTV's legal affairs program, began to broadcast Zhou Yang's tearful and remorseful scenes at different times...

As more and more viewers began watching the legal program, Zhou Yang's information started to be gradually released online by "people"...

Also announced was Zhou Yang's directorial debut, the outrageous "Sun Wukong vs. Superman 2"!
..............................

"This person looks familiar, like I've seen them somewhere before..."

"Me too, I also feel like this person looks familiar..."

"Wait, it seems like this person is a movie actor. I think he's appeared in entertainment news before, like something like 'Sun Wukong vs. Superman 2'..."

"Wait? Holy crap, this guy directed that movie? I bought almost three or four DVDs in a row, and all I saw were cringe-worthy scenes. You're telling me, he directed that movie?"

"Yes!"

"My god! Dude, you better not make this. You can't harm me with your scams, but you're making this kind of movie, please, please don't harm society..."

Is this movie really that bad?

"This movie isn't just bad, it's downright awful!"

"What happened to the dog poop?"

"There's absolutely no plot, not only is there no plot, but the characters are like idiots, the dialogue is awkward, there's absolutely no acting, the protagonist suddenly gets all fired up, and then suddenly becomes impotent... It's absolutely epicly bad!"

"Holy crap, is it really that bad?"

"What do you think? You wasted five dollars of my money back then!"

"..."

Yanjing City.

Ma Wei, who was watching TV at his hometown, stared blankly at the figure on the screen who was crying bitterly.

I was slightly shocked when I saw the movie title "Sun Wukong vs. Superman 2"!
Holy crap, is this name really that badass?
Immediately afterwards, I logged onto my computer and opened Movie House to see how the movie was rated!
Then, he froze. He hadn't expected that the previously sparsely populated "Movie House" forum would suddenly explode with discussion, especially with the nearly several thousand comments under the 2.2 rating of "Monkey King vs. Superman 2"...

Almost everyone is saying that this movie is so bad it's insane.

Many victims have taken to the comments section to describe the movie with phrases like "the worst I've ever seen in my life," "I've never seen anything so bad in my life," and "it's insanely bad."

Immediately afterwards, he saw a popular post on Tieba that had just been published not long ago.

The title of the popular post is...

[A disgrace to Chinese cinema: an epic flop]

He clicked on the title and saw the content of the post.

A penniless scoundrel, who mooches off everyone and swindles money from everyone he meets, has somehow lost his mind and suddenly wants to make movies...

The movies they made were absolutely awful, yet they made money by selling pirated DVDs...

Now, they actually want to continue relying on deception and fraud to make a second movie?

This kind of person should be locked up in jail!

【…】

The entire article was filled with insults, not only vilifying Zhou Yang but also labeling his film "Sun Wukong vs. Superman 2" as the worst movie in the world...

After reading it, Ma Wei saw another post titled: "[Sun Wukong vs. Superman 2? Those who haven't eaten shit should go try it, it's just a pile of shit...]"

……

The posts were all criticizing how terrible and outrageous "Monkey King vs. Superman 2" was...

It was supposed to be an epic disaster...

There wasn't much point in watching it anyway.

But for some reason, seeing so many people saying it was terrible, Ma Wei, who had never tasted shit, strangely felt a strong urge to go to the cinema to see just how bad the movie really was.

Human nature is really strange!
Some people, like Ma Wei, somehow developed a bit of a "curious" mentality!

I was initially going to give up on the idea, but the more I tried to stop thinking about it, the more I decided to click the X and not watch this terrible movie...

But my curiosity only grew stronger!
He glanced at the movie tickets at the cinema.

Upon discovering that movie tickets were only 5 yuan each, Ma Wei finally couldn't suppress his curiosity, shut down his computer, and headed towards the movie theater.

Half an hour later, when he arrived at the nearby cinema, he was surprised to find that the entrance of the Feihe Cinema was very lively.

Through conversations with some audience members, he learned that many people shared his opinion and actually wanted to see just how bad this movie, which was rated the lowest in history on [Movie House], really was!
Just then... he saw a group of people come out of the door.

"Absolutely awful!"

"Seriously, I still don't recommend watching it!"

"It's absolutely rotten to the core. You ask me why I'm watching it here?"

"I just want to see just how bad this movie can get..."

"..."

Someone came out with a complicated expression, as if they had eaten a huge lump of something bad.

But some people were very excited, excitedly joining everyone else in saying that this movie was insanely bad, even worse than what was being said on the internet...

.....................

7 month 25 day.

Zhang Muxue, the proprietress of Feihe Cinema, watched the movie fans walking in one after another at the door.

She found it hard to believe and thought she was dreaming.

The phenomenal success of "Monkey King vs. Superman 2" has only been seen on the very first day of its premiere.

However, after the first day, because so many people were complaining, the number of people in the movie theater actually decreased.

There were hardly any people in some of the screening rooms...

However, no one expected that more than ten days later, the number of people suddenly increased, and they all specifically came to buy tickets for the movie "Sun Wukong vs. Superman 2"!
Although everyone was cursing, for some reason, these people didn't have the same hostility they felt when they were cheated at the premiere. Instead, they seemed to be there to see a new world.

Moreover, more and more people are coming to see the new world, and even some tickets for tomorrow's pre-sale have been sold.

Such a grand occasion is simply unheard of!

What made her even more disoriented was that the entire day had passed...

She actually earned nearly 5000 yuan from this terrible movie, which was shown in three theaters with more than 400 seats.

Wait until 9 p.m.

Where is General Manager Zhou?

"The pirate market for 'Monkey King vs. Superman 2' is booming today!"

"We plan to print another thousand copies..."

"..."

A professional DVD pirate supplier excitedly rushed over, looking for Zhou Yang as soon as he entered.

however……

Zhang Muxue shook her head.

I don't know where Zhou Yang is.

..........................................

"Mr. Zhou!"

"Ah, hello, hello!"

“My name is Li Dachun, and I work in a coal mine. Here’s the thing, my daughter saw you on the news—oh yes, the one where you were crying during the scam—and suddenly she started making a fuss about coming here… I only have one daughter, so I brought her here…”

"what?"

"As for investment, I have it. Let alone 200,000, even 1 million wouldn't be a problem... However, I have one condition..."

"any request?"

"My daughter wants to act in it, and she wants to be the lead actress..."

"OK, no problem!"

"And..."

"What else?"

"My daughter made one request on the phone: she wants you to be the male lead in your new movie!"

"???"

【XuanShi Entertainment】

In the simple office.

Zhou Yang received a phone call.

Not long after...

There was a knock at the door.

Immediately afterwards, a portly middle-aged man stood at the door with a girl of about eighteen or nineteen years old...

"Is it him?"

"Yes, yes, it's him, it's him... that photo of him next to the Audi A6 on the internet! It's him... I searched for so long, if I hadn't seen it on the news, I would have thought the photo wasn't of him... Ahh, he's so handsome, even more handsome in person than in the photo..."

"..."
