Huayu: Starting from "The Heavenly Bodyguard"

Chapter 54: They're all foxes; Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio are just bedtime stories.

With the release of "Lost in Thailand," Shen Mo has no interest in the box office and has turned off his phone to block out the outside world's distractions.

Wearing his Japanese server exclusive Graves skin, Shenmo prepared to pull off a big heist.

Fortunately, my recent weight loss efforts have been somewhat effective; I almost couldn't zip up my zipper.

What Shen Mo needs to do now is to prevent Chen Jinfei and Hua Yi from meeting. There's no better way, so he'll resort to physical isolation.

After scouting out the area around Chen Jinfei's house, Shen Mo, to his shame, sat down at a roadside stall and ordered twenty meat skewers.

With an iced tea in one hand and a lamb skewer in the other, he had barely caught his breath when two peaked caps stood in front of him.

"Shen Mo, come with us."

Shen Mo's hand trembled as he saw a familiar figure across the street.

Liu Qianqian, wearing the same limited-edition Japanese-style skin, looked over expressionlessly.

Shen Daniu was filled with bitterness. He had thought of everything, but he never expected that this little girl would set him off.

I reckon that as soon as I disappeared, I was spotted by the Heavenly Fairy Baby.

Shen Mo gritted his teeth and vowed that he had to lose weight.

......

The premiere of "Assembly" was attended by a distinguished group of people, young and old.

The little cannon was full of pride.

Looking around, apart from last year's "The Banquet" which had some flaws and failed to penetrate the international market, other films in the past two years have been hard to beat in the commercial film genre.

The reason I filmed "Assembly" this time was partly because I wanted to follow my heart and try something different.

On the other hand, they saw the success of "John Wick" and discovered the huge market for action films.

He also considered making a more sophisticated military action film.

"Assembly" is confident that it can completely outshine "John Wick" in terms of story, war scenes, and even costumes and props.

As for the verbal battle with Shen Mo a couple of days ago, it's nothing to brag about with a low-budget comedy with a mere five million investment.

Since Shen Mo is overestimating himself, Xiao Gangpao, a double-flowered red stick from Huayi, won't mind teaching him a lesson.

One reason is to give those two brothers another chance to prove their loyalty, so that the brothers can prosper together.

The other was to let that arrogant young man experience the true terrifying pressure of the man who pioneered the Chinese New Year film season.

Today, the person that Feng Kuzi is most satisfied with is Wang Baoqiang.

Surprisingly, this simpleton is actually quite sensible.

You can tell which end is warmer.

It wasn't in vain that I helped him out.

With a grinning face and an arrogant gait, Little Cannon took the lead on the red carpet.

Upon arriving at the interview area, Feng Xiaogang, who used to be sharp-tongued, was noticeably more mellow.

After all, it's their home turf, so they have to give face to everyone involved.

The other main creators also gave interviews to various media outlets. The whole scene was harmonious and friendly, and full of vitality.

Wang Baoqiang followed behind Xiao Gangpao. His fame is still far behind that of the other leading actors, and he has also joined the camp of Wula Cao.

The media was mostly arranged by Huayi, making Shagen appear to be all alone.

A young, inexperienced female reporter, wearing a Beijing TV employee ID.

She couldn't squeeze through to interview the other main creators, but seeing that no one was paying attention to Sha Gen, she decided to try and get close to him, thinking that she might as well leave empty-handed.

"Mr. Wang Baoqiang, I am Ma Rong, an intern reporter from Beijing TV. Could you answer a few questions for me?"

Sha Gen smiled shyly at Ma Rong, scratched his head, and said, "Just ask."

"You were the main creator of both 'Assembly' and 'Lost in Thailand'."

Which of these two movies do you think is better?

Ma Rong's question was overheard by Xiao Gangpao, who was standing nearby.

With a frown and a cold face, Little Cannon pointed directly at Ma Rong.

"Which country's reporter are you from?"

Do you have professional ethics?

"You're comparing my 'Assembly' to a piece of trash. What are you trying to do?"

Ma Rong was just a student and had never seen anything like this before. He was suddenly bombarded with questions from Xiao Gangpao and was completely dumbfounded.

Judging from her appearance, she was obviously easy to bully, and Little Cannon was taking advantage of her.

He shouted loudly to the staff on the side.

"Get that damn reporter out of here!"

Wang Baoqiang's heart trembled when he saw Ma Ronghong's red eyes filled with tears.

He was just an intern reporter who asked a trivial question.

Seeing the horde of security personnel rushing towards them, and then looking at Xiao Gangpao's ashen face.

Sha Gen didn't dare to offend Feng Kuzi, but he also didn't want the girl to be left hanging, so he quickly said, "It's not that bad, it's not that bad."

Separating the staff, Sha Gen tugged at the stunned Ma Rong.

"Don't talk nonsense, or you'll upset Director Feng."

"Come on, come on, I'll take you out."

Xiao Gangpao's eyes were sinister as he watched Wang Baoqiang drag Ma Rong backstage.

He said coldly to the person next to him:

"Things are definitely different now that they've changed owners."

"Move his seat to the back."

After seeing Ma Rong off, Wang Baoqiang returned to find that his seat had been changed.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly, glancing at the back of Director Feng's head, which was five rows away from him.

A sudden sense of relief washed over me.

He picked up his phone and started texting Ma Rong to comfort the girl.

......

"Lost in Thailand" grossed 1000 million yuan on its first day, while "Assembly" grossed 1100 million yuan on its first day.

For seven consecutive days, "Assembly" grossed 80 million yuan and "Lost in Thailand" grossed 70 million yuan.

The numbers speak for themselves; "Assembly" has undoubtedly won.

The numbers speak for themselves; the victory of "Assembly" was entirely meaningless.

Feng Xiaogang has gone mad and started criticizing everyone and everything.

He berated the audience for lacking appreciation skills.

An epic tale of heroism managed to go toe-to-toe with a short skit.

The box office was indeed slightly higher than that of "Lost in Thailand".

However, the cost of his mother's "Assembly" was twenty times that of "Lost in Thailand".

Are you viewers blind? In that lousy movie, the most expensive prop was a beat-up bread cart.

Any random snippets from "Assembly" could be enough to make a new "Lost in Thailand" movie.

The video of him making things difficult for Ma Rong at the premiere is now circulating everywhere.

He's a petty person, but he still has a sense of shame, and he simply can't accept this outcome.

On the blog, just go all in.

"It's just a money grab, right? I'm the boss, you bunch of idiots don't deserve to eat well, I'm just fooling you."

Netizens go online to watch the fun, and they think they can put up with your attitude?

"It's Chinese New Year, and you're making that crap that's annoying to watch. Let's just watch 'Lost in Thailand' instead, that'll make us furious."

"You're nothing but a show-off. You call yourself 'master'? I think you're a grandson."

"Shen Daniu'er can make money because that bastard was cursed for a year, and the brothers took pity on him. What makes you think you can? Because you're ugly?"

"Still trying to fool me? Who are you trying to fool?"

Less than half an hour later, Feng Kuzi deleted the blog.

The girls went to his other blogs to criticize him.

Then they even turned off the comment function.

The next day, media outlets released photos showing Little Cannon coming out of the orthopedics department with one hand wrapped in bandages.
