Reshaping the landscape of the Chinese entertainment industry

Leaving behind such a sensational topic, He Yi'an then left directly.

The reporters wanted to continue, but Liu Guonan and his crew stopped them.

"Alright, alright, that concludes the press conference! Any questions can wait until the movie's release!"

He Yi'an walked out of the warehouse, avoiding the still somewhat frantic reporters, and then stood on the dock, watching Liu Guonan lead them out of the film crew.

At this moment, Yu Feihong came out and walked to his side.

"What you just said was too harsh."

"Senior, I know, but since I've already said it, I don't regret it."

"Aren't you afraid of offending people?"

Hearing this, He Yi'an laughed. He wasn't laughing at Yu Feihong's naivety, but rather at the fact that she still didn't truly understand him.

"Senior, they offended me first. Besides, since I've already offended them, there's no use being afraid. Why not offend them even more? We can't be friends anymore anyway!"

Upon hearing this, He Yi'an lightly patted his lips.

This mouth of his has bald spots again.

"We can never be friends again." Wasn't that what Chef Xie said to Photographer Chen? How could he just blurt it out like that!

Yu Feihong, of course, was unaware of this reference, so she didn't react. Instead, she looked at He Yi'an's confident and flamboyant face and remarked, "You've always acted mature and composed, and you seem older than me mentally. But only just now did I truly realize that you're only eighteen."

Upon hearing this, He Yi'an smiled and said, "It's almost impossible for a person to have the same feelings about youth as they did when they were young, so I'm enjoying how I feel now."

"At thirty, I can be making movies, but at eighteen, I can both make movies and swear." He Yi'an turned to look at her. "Senior, you're not scared because of my personality, are you?"

Yu Feihong was amused by him, shook his head, and turned to walk back to the film crew.

……

He Yi'an's remarks at the press conference that day made headlines in major media outlets.

The veteran actor was under immense pressure; despite his strong stance, he was forced to change his name to "Director He Yi'an" from now on.

He Yi'an responds to controversy over the character "爷" (grandfather): My name was given to me by my parents, and I don't see any problem with it.

He Yi'an retorts to Lu Chuan: Who does he think he is?

"An 18-Year-Old Director Challenges the Sixth Generation Directors: Losing Means Being a Waste"

He Yi'an: You are all parasites, what right do you have to question me!

"Unfit to be a journalist, unfit to be a director, unfit to be a human being... He Yi'an angrily denounces all those who question him."

He Yi'an predicts box office revenue will be between 30 million and 40 million.

He Yi'an wants to have a competition with Lu Chuan; whoever loses is a loser.

The effects of offline print media are relatively slow, taking until the next day or several days to gain traction, but online, things can completely explode.

Many people in this era have very strong personalities; they just haven't been toughened up by society, so they dare to say anything.

Yuan Li is a prime example!

But no matter how bold one is, as a public figure, when one is rational, one will still be mindful of the impact.

However, there are not many people like He Yi'an who not only do not evade the problem, but also directly confront it head-on.

More importantly, He Yi'an is too young, almost the same age as the mainstream internet users today.

This further strengthened his relationship with many netizens.

Young people have very fiery tempers, who the hell will give in to you?

Therefore, He Yi'an's remarks attracted a group of people who liked him; he was practically a mouthpiece!

This can be considered as him accumulating his first wave of fans.

However, these fans are still fake, because they are not because of the movies he made, so it is still difficult to convert them into fans.

Of course, where there are fans, there will inevitably be haters.

His arrogance has only made him more disliked by others.

The two groups started arguing online.

Supporters said, "Master He is so cool! That's how you should criticize (confront) someone!"

Opponents said, "This is outrageous! How can anyone watch a movie made by someone like this?"

However, what was somewhat surprising was that Lu Chuan did not respond publicly to He Yi'an's message immediately.

Later, I heard from his assistant that Lu Chuan had thrown things after seeing the news and didn't have time to react.

But Lu Chuan was not about to give up so easily, and he didn't keep people waiting for long. After calming down, he responded directly.

Lu Chuan responded: Arrogant and ignorant of one's own limitations

Lu Chuan responds to various film critiques: "You wish! Who wants to compare themselves to you? I don't argue with children!"

During the interview, his face turned ashen: "People like He Yi'an are just spoiled... Does he think movies are child's play? Does he think he's something special just because he has money?"

"When I was filming 'The Missing Gun,' he was still in high school... What right does he have to judge me?"

"He said my film was made by someone else? That's defamation! I'm going to sue him!"

The reporter pressed further, "Director Lu, would you take this bet with He Yi'an?"

Lu Chuan paused for a moment, then said, "I won't stoop to the level of a child."

If you're not feeling guilty, why don't you just go and take him down?

But Lu Chuan didn't, and she wasn't having it. Yan Zi Zhao, Zhou Xun, and Xu Jinglei's fans joined in, attacking He Yi'an online.

After all, He Yi'an also took the opportunity to attack their idol.

"Lu Chuan is right, He Yi'an is arrogant!"

"What right does an 18-year-old have to insult Lu Chuan and our idol!"

"Support Lu Chuan, boycott He Yi'an!"

……

Of course, as the saying goes, for every person who opposes something, there are bound to be voices of support. You know, when He Yi'an talked about the four little actresses, he was actually giving Zhang Ziyi a boost.

Zhang Ziyi's fans were already unhappy about others associating with her, and now with He Yi'an's support, they are fighting even harder.

Seeing that the fans of the other members were coming to confront He Yi'an, they took the initiative to step in and help.

"Lu Chuan can't make good films herself, so she can't stand seeing others do well."

"Who in the industry doesn't know who directed 'The Missing Gun'? Lu Chuan was just a nominal director."

"He Yi'an is right, Lu Chuan is just a clown."

"Give me back your idols! What makes your idols superior to ours?!"

……

However, when it comes to fans, no one could compare to Yanzi Zhao at this time, and those who supported He Yi'an gradually fell behind.

Even Zhang Ziyi herself somehow got He Yi'an's phone number and called to thank her personally.

In fact, Zhang Ziyi knew He Yi'an. After all, He Yi'an was there during the filming of "Hero" and was learning directing from Zhang Yimou.

She always regarded him as Zhang Yimou's apprentice, but she didn't have much contact with He Yi'an.

But she didn't expect He Yi'an to speak up for her, so she had to come and thank him and make some gestures in return.

She started tearing into the others and putting them down!

With her support, the online discussions among movie fans became even more heated.

While the two groups were arguing fiercely online, the veteran directors were not idle either.

These veteran directors were so enraged by He Yi'an's insults that they gave interviews one after another, denouncing He Yi'an as "disrespectful to elders" and "extremely arrogant."

The veteran director surnamed Wang even said directly in an interview: "He Yi'an is a disgrace to the film industry. He relies on his family connections and uses the country's money to dabble in film. I definitely won't watch the movies he makes."

The veteran director surnamed Li was even more direct: "I suggest that the relevant departments must order China Film Group to take back that money and give it to those who truly need it. He Yi'an is not worthy of it."

But the news from the Meyer Newspaper was only released slowly after their interviews were published.

It was originally supposed to be released simultaneously with other media outlets, but due to a minor issue, the article had to be rewritten. So the editor rewrote the article, making it look like an interview with He Yi'an responding to these individuals.

Moreover, it highlighted some of He Yi'an's heated remarks that day, specifically naming names.

"Director Wang? Director Li? Who are they? I've never heard of them."

What movies have they made? What awards have they won? What are their representative works?

"What right does someone who doesn't even have a representative work have to judge me?"

"They say I'm not worthy? Then are they worthy? They've been worthy for decades, and what have they produced? A bunch of terrible movies that nobody watches?"

"These kinds of people are parasites in the film industry. They don't do any work themselves, and they don't let others do any work either. They'll bite anyone who touches their interests."

This report caused another uproar.

The person who wrote this targeted report is surnamed Zhuo!

……

He Yi'an no longer cared about the various discussions and rumors circulating outside.

He turned off his phone and then asked Liu Guonan to copy and manage some of the crew's recent statements: "Senior brother, don't let reporters in from now on. I need to focus more on filming."

Liu Guonan nodded and then began to rearrange the manpower.

He Yi'an sat behind the monitor, watching the footage he had just shot, and then explained to Yu Feihong the camera language of each shot, why it was shot that way, and whether there were any other shooting methods.

He knew very well that saying anything more now would be of no use.

Only by making a movie, and making it well, can we possibly silence the critics.

otherwise……

Yu Feihong was initially quite worried, but after seeing that He Yi'an himself didn't seem to care, she became indifferent as well.

They also devoted themselves wholeheartedly to learning how to direct and shoot films.
