Chapter 969: The Public Opinion at the Premiere Suddenly Changed! People's Hearts Were Completely Dark!

Chapter 969 The uproar at the premiere... The public opinion changed suddenly! People's hearts were completely black!

A whole night passed, and the time turned to the 25th.

Because he had to attend the premiere of "Mr. Donkey", Chen Fei got up early.

Similarly, under Liu Xiaoli's urging, Liu Yifei also yawned and got up from the bed with difficulty.

Like Chen Fei, she also has her own work, such as recording a variety show about "dance" this morning to promote "La La Land".

"Wow, it's been a whole night, why is there still a quarrel online?"

While drinking porridge, Liu Yifei looked at the news on Weibo and ate "melon" in big mouthfuls.

Chen Fei was also paying attention to the news on the Internet.

Looking around, the competition between the crew of "I'm Not Fan Jinlian" and East China Normal University has reached a white-hot stage.

The fans of the former gathered together and flooded the official microblog and website of the latter, but they still did not stop, and instead posted a lot of posts criticizing the school's rules and regulations, humanistic qualities, and even rose to the level of "regional black"!

Although the latter is weak, there are still some college students who support their alma mater and work hard to "counterattack" those black posts on the Internet.

Seeing this, Chen Fei already felt something was wrong.

If it was just a dispute between the crew and East China Normal University, it would still be within a controllable range, but now it has risen to the stage of regional black. If nothing unexpected happens, the official should be coming to an end soon!

Time quickly came to 9:30 in the morning.

When Chen Fei appeared alone on the red carpet of the premiere of "Mr. Donkey", he was faced with a lot of questions from reporters!

"Director Chen, what do you think of Feng Xiaogang's attack on ECNU on Weibo, and his escalation of the conflict to regional discrimination and even dissatisfaction with a province?"

"Someone took a photo of Fan Bingbing with tears in his eyes when he was taken away from the scene. Do you feel pity for her?"

"As the parties involved, the writers/screenwriters Fang Fang and Liu Zhenyun have all chosen to stand on the opposite side of ECNU. As a well-known screenwriter in the industry, will you choose to stand behind them, speak for them, and denounce ECNU together?"

"..."

From the beginning of the red carpet to the end of the red carpet and the signing, all that lingered in Chen Fei's ears were the issues between "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" and "ECNU".

The media watched the excitement and did not mind the big things. Every question seemed normal, but there were big and small pits hidden, just waiting for him to jump in!

However, how smart is Chen Fei? How could he be fooled by them?

Facing these questions, he pretended not to hear them, and after signing his name, he walked into the premiere venue.

Now the trend on the Internet has always been in favor of the crew of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian". Many netizens thought that the crew was wronged, so they chose to stand on Feng Xiaogang's side.

But Chen Fei felt that something was wrong.

The school authorities of East China Normal University are not fools. No matter how you look at it, it is not something that a key undergraduate university can do to temporarily drive people away from the event.

So, there must be something else hidden in it!

And before the incident is really revealed, he will never get involved, after all, this matter has nothing to do with him.

So, no matter what you say now, it is not a wise choice, it is better to pretend that you have not heard or seen it.

…

As a low-cost movie jointly invested and produced by Happy Twist and Feiyue Film and Television, "Donkey Gets Water" did not cause much waves in the film and television industry.

After all, the screenwriter, director, actors, and even the entire production team have no connection with Feiyue Films, and it is adapted from a stage play. This kind of project is not favored by the outside world.

Even in the eyes of many people, the success of "Charlotte's Troubles" was just a stroke of luck.

As for this "Donkey Gets Water", it is estimated that it can only make a small wave.

Based on this, there are very few people in the circle who came to attend the premiere of the film today.

Looking around, in addition to the people of the Happy Twist team, the rest are some people in the sketch, stage play, and drama circles.

And the arrival of Chen Fei, a super big shot, is undoubtedly "sensational" for everyone!

"Mr. Chen, welcome to your presence, haha." Happy Twist CEO Zhang Chen took the lead to greet him, followed by Yan Fei, Peng Damo and others.

Shen Teng also came to the premiere today, but Ma Li was still in Russia because she was filming "The Mystery of Dragon Card".

"Hello, Mr. Zhang... Shen Teng, congratulations! Happy wedding..."

After smiling and greeting the familiar group of people in front of him, Chen Fei finally paid attention to the main creative members of "Mr. Donkey".

"Hello, Director Chen, I am Ren Suxi, graduated from the directing major of the Central Academy of Drama, and I have been focusing on drama. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to be an actor..."

Looking at the Yantai girl who greeted him very sincerely, Chen Fei smiled and said: "Keep working hard, since you can withstand the test of the drama stage, I believe you will make achievements in the film and television industry."

"I will!"

Ren Suxi nodded solemnly.

"Director Chen, hehe, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Aruna, haha, I was wondering why I didn't see you recently, it turns out you are hiding here."

Chen Fei was still very satisfied with this guy from Inner Mongolia.

When he was filming "The Murderer" with Zhang Yi, Chen Fei felt that he was very spiritual, and the facts proved that he was indeed...

This kid has his own thing when it comes to performing!

During the half-hour social interaction that followed, Chen Fei met many "new friends".

For example, Jia Ling, Zhang Xiaofei, Pan Changjiang, etc., these people all came to the premiere today and specially came to support this "Donkey Gets Water".

At 10 o'clock sharp, the movie officially started playing.

The story of this movie is quite interesting. It mainly tells the story of a school in a remote mountain village that in order to obtain teaching funds from its superiors, it lied about the number of teachers in the school and misrepresented a donkey as an English teacher named "Lu Deshui". Used for free money.

Everything was fine at first, but unexpectedly, the superiors sent a special commissioner to investigate the teaching situation of the "Donkey De Shui" teacher.

With the arrival of the special commissioner from above, the principals and teachers in the rural primary school suddenly panicked.

In order to cope with the inspection, they had to find a coppersmith in the village and tried to make him pretend to be the non-existent "Donkey De Shui" teacher.

The story officially unfolds...

The director deliberately used a humorous and absurd narrative technique, using extreme forms of expression to express the duality of human beings, and with the help of the film form, the cruelty of social reality was infinitely amplified!

There is no so-called complex and flexible hypothetical world in the narrative. What the movie always shows is an absurd and non-existent world.

For example, at the wedding of Coppersmith and Sun Jia, the crowd sitting in the auditorium, the black donkey made of paper (the donkey gets water), and Mr. Ross wearing Chinese clothing as a priest, all of this implies that what is happening in front of you is not real. , is an absurd, fictional world.

The film as a whole uses black humor to outline the portraits of people in every corner of society, and staged a farce where dreams can never be realized in reality. It is both realistic and thought-provoking.

In the first half of the story, everyone is a human being, striving for the ideal of rural education;

But in the second half, everyone turned into animals. Under the influence of huge interests and the suppression of evil forces, everyone gradually darkened, ultimately creating a real realist tragedy!

After the 111-minute playback of the film ended, director Zhou Shen led the creative members on the stage and talked about some interesting things, difficulties, and feelings encountered during the filming.

As a special guest, Chen Fei naturally could not miss the subsequent interview session.

However, when he took the stage and took the microphone from the host, he had already made a "patch" in advance before the reporters on the scene could ask questions.

"I think I need to explain that here today, we will only talk about the topic of "Donkey Gets Water", so please give me some face.

As for other movies, from now on, I don’t want to hear anyone ask me what I think. If anyone disagrees with me, please just turn around and leave. There may be others outside who can give you the answer. "

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly fell silent.

Everyone naturally knows who Chen Fei is talking about. It is nothing more than the conflict between "I am not Fan Jinlian" and East China Normal University that has been hotly discussed in the entire entertainment industry these two days.

If other directors had said this, the reporters on the scene would naturally ignore it and might even be more outrageous!

But when they faced Chen Fei, they didn't dare to talk back!

After all, when it comes to the share of voice he holds in the entertainment industry, Chen Fei is no less than them.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if more than half of the media at the scene combined, they would not have as much weight as his right to speak!

Therefore, after everyone thought about it, they naturally chose to be obedient.

"Director Chen, how much do you think the box office of this small-budget comedy movie can be? Can it be comparable to the previous "Charlotte"?"

"It's naturally a lot worse than "Charlotte", but it's still promising to try to break into the top three Chinese-language movies in the November box office rankings."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar on the scene!

The top three Chinese-language movies at the box office in November?

Isn't this tone too loud? !

You know, among the currently known Chinese-language movies that will be released in November, there are two top blockbusters, "I'm Not Kim Lien" and "La La Land" that both won awards abroad, and there's another "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk," a well-known Chinese-foreign co-production directed by Li Bian.

And now, Chen Fei actually said that "Donkey Gets Water" can break into the top three Chinese-language film box office rankings in November!

Doesn't that mean that one of the three movies, "I'm Not Kim Lien", "La La Land", and "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk", is going to have a huge box office hit?

At the thought of this, the media reporters at the scene suddenly became excited!

With a production cost of only 15 million, "Donkey Gets Water" is about to take the stepping stone forged from "blockbusters" and soar into the sky?

This is quite a hot search!

If nothing else, if this news is announced, it will inevitably trigger a wave of heated discussions in the industry.

Along with the excitement of the reporters, the main creators of "Donkey Gets Water" on the scene also became excited.

After all, so far, any analysis about movie box office coming from Chen Fei's mouth has never been wrong!

If this movie can really break into the top three of the Chinese-language movie box office rankings in November, wouldn’t these actors who were originally unknown become famous overnight?

After the premiere officially ended, Chen Fei did not attend the subsequent cocktail party, but hurriedly left the venue and got in the car and went straight to the Public Security University.

The previously stipulated gathering time was 1:30 pm. Everyone else was in place at this time, and only he was left.

There was still a distance from the premiere venue of "Mr. Donkey" to the Public Security University. During the car ride, Chen Fei almost subconsciously opened Weibo to see if there was any fresh "new melon".

However, the next second after he opened Weibo, he saw that the public opinion storm between the "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" crew and East China Normal University had a new change!

Under the circumstances of "full network black" and "regional black", the school and the local government finally couldn't sit still and issued statements one after another to explain the incident.

"The following is an explanation of the relevant situation regarding Fan Bingbing's visit to our school's concert hall on October 24 to participate in Feng Xiaogang's "Challenge of Comedy" humor seminar:

Feng Xiaogang's "Challenge of Comedy" humor seminar was held by Yaolai Film and Television, Dongyang Mela, and its studio, and hosted by Capital Chenda Zhidian Media.

After receiving the application from the event organizer, the school's Youth League Committee expressed its welcome to such cultural seminars on campus, and welcomed cultural celebrities such as Feng Xiaogang, Liu Zhenyun, and Fang Fang to come to campus for exchanges.

It was agreed that our school's Youth League Committee only assisted in organizing student audiences, and other matters were the responsibility of the organizer; the organizer had also made it clear that Fan Bingbing would not participate in this event;

In view of this, this event, as a campus cultural event, was not a large-scale mass event, and it was not reported to the public security organs.

October 24 At 18:00, the event was held as scheduled. Feng Xiaogang, Liu Zhenyun and Fang Fang attended the seminar. The host also explained that Fan Bingbing would not be present. The venue was in good order and the audience was enthusiastic and orderly.

However, at 20:50, during the seminar, Fan Bingbing unexpectedly appeared at the seminar!

In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, considering the safety of Fan Bingbing himself, guests, teachers and students, the Security Office and the school Youth League Committee staff tried their best to maintain order on the scene and asked the organizer to shorten Fan Bingbing's stay. There was no malicious intention to "drive people away".

But Director Feng Xiaogang suddenly lost control of his emotions, loudly scolded the Security Office and the school Youth League Committee, and asked Fan Bingbing to leave immediately. He also terminated the exchange activity immediately. This behavior is really puzzling..."

And along with this notice from East China Normal University, , and a statement from the official Weibo account of "Safe Wuhan":

"This event is not a large-scale mass event. According to regulations, it does not require approval from the public security authorities. Neither the police station nor the public security authorities have received any application from Central China Normal University, and the public security authorities did not participate in the security work of this event.

Therefore, the local government will not accept the accusations of Feng Xiaogang, the crew of "I Am Not Fan Jinlian" and unrelated personnel. At the same time, it also hopes that the crew will not deliberately guide public opinion, make trouble out of nothing, and discredit the local area..."

Along with these two statements, there are also many objective descriptions of students who were present at the time:

"It is obvious that Feng Xiaogang himself did not communicate well with the school in advance, thinking that a mysterious trick could bring surprises to everyone, and by the way, hype and promote his movie, build momentum and make money, and he thought that the school would definitely accept it after playing big cards , but unexpectedly, the school refused it forcefully.

It's fine if you don't admit your mistakes, but you also cursed the whole Hubei for your own selfish desires. What a piece of shit! I will never pay to watch your film! It's the insistence of Hubei people who support it. I won't watch it! "

"Fuck, the university is a place to study for the rise of China. The crew should get out. I fully support the campus. Those who take this opportunity to ban Fan and Feng nationwide, raise your hands. Traditional culture is almost blinded by these people."

"What is wrong with your crew? It's obviously your fault, but you still guide public opinion to cyberbully our East China Normal University and the whole Hubei? Who do you think you are?"

"..."

After reading two official statements in a row, as well as the support and testimony of many students on campus, Chen Fei finally sorted out the cause and effect of this incident.

In general, Fan Bingbing was not going to participate in the event at the beginning, so this film seminar was essentially a small event, which did not need to be reported, and there were not many safety hazards.

But the fact is that Fan Bingbing actually came in the end, and he had to enter!

ECNU did not allow her to come in, because the nature of the event changed, and the fan meeting became a large-scale event with potential safety hazards.

But at this time, a stupid teacher from ECNU secretly brought her in. The school was furious and worried about safety issues, so it forced her to leave.

However, on this basis, Feng Xiaogang and others began to lead the rhythm, guide public opinion, and guide fans to cyberbully, so as to achieve the purpose of promoting the movie.

And the local people in Wuhan were unaware of the whole process!

So who is to blame for this?

First of all, the teacher who secretly brought Fan Bingbing in, regardless of the school's arrangements, must be one of the responsible persons.

But the culprit is still Feng Xiaogang, who forcibly raised a security issue, a communication issue, and a problem of his own actress to a regional issue, and used this to open a map cannon, which is really disgusting!

And if nothing else, these behaviors should have been directed and performed by the crew and even Feng Xiaogang himself. The purpose is to hype up the movie and make the movie more popular, so that fans can pocket money after the movie is released.

Thinking of this, Chen Fei couldn't help but sneered:

"Ha, Feng Gangpao, Feng Gangpao! In order to complete the bet, you are really unscrupulous! You have actually started to engage in such dirty operations? What a mouse excrement that has soiled the whole pot of porridge!"

Originally, the outside world didn't have a particularly good impression of the entertainment industry, but now that Feng Xiaogang has messed with it, the reputation of the entire film and television industry has dropped a lot.

It seems that "I am not Phan Kim Lien" has gained attention, but it has indirectly harmed other movies!

What Feng Xiaogang did was simply disgusting and despised!

At this time, on Wanda's side, Liu Xiaobin was going crazy with joy!

"Haha, hello Feng Xiaogang, I was originally thinking about what reason I should use to kill you, but I didn't expect you to hand the handle to me yourself! Okay, great! Haha!"

"Dong dong dong!"

There was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting Liu Xiaobin's laughter.

He put away his smile and shouted: "Come in!"

The next second, the secretary opened the door and walked in, holding a document taken from the group, with an unstoppable smile on his face.

"Mr. Liu! The documents from the group have been approved."

"Oh?" Liu Xiaobin stood up suddenly and asked curiously: "Is it the document about cutting down "I am not Fan Jinlian"?"

"Yes!" the secretary said, handing over the document.

After Liu Xiaobin reached out and took it, he couldn't wait to lower his eyes.

I saw clearly marked on the document that after the first day of release of "I'm Not Fan Jinlian", the film schedule of Wanda's theaters will be reduced to 5%, and at the same time, it will be reduced day by day, not to give it any popularity...

Seeing this, Liu Xiaobin couldn't hide his excitement.

"Haha. I see how arrogant you are this time!"

While talking to himself, he did not forget to tell his secretary: "Go to the public relations department immediately and tell them that I want all the public opinion on the Internet to be biased towards East China Normal University. I must make "I am not Fan Jinlian" "The crew was despised by thousands of people in a short period of time!"

"Okay, Mr. Liu, I'll make arrangements right away."

After the secretary responded, he immediately ran out quickly.

All members of Wanda are holding their breath during this period. Now that they have finally grasped the handle of Huayi, how can they let go easily?

You have to let "I'm Not Phan Jinlian" peel off a layer of skin!

Only when Hua Yi is hurt, scared, and frightened can revenge begin!

"Haha, let's wait and see, the fun is waiting for us later."

Liu Xiaobin's eyes were gloomy, and he felt fierce in his heart, as if he had sentenced "I am not Fan Jinlian" to death.

Not only that, Huayi’s upcoming film “The Demise of Romance” is also among Wanda’s targets.

As for the actors who were affected by this, they can only be considered unlucky. Who made them choose to side with Huayi?

At the same time, the arrogant Feng Xiaogang had no idea that he was about to be in disaster!

He would be angry because his carefully designed "marketing plan" was ruined.

"Immediately arrange it, let the water army continue to take the lead, deny the authenticity of the statement from East China Normal University, and guide public opinion to continue to stir up the heat for me, mainly around Fan Bingbing being driven away... I will shed tears no matter how wronged I am, It’s best to maintain the popularity until the day the movie is released, so that the box office will be stable!”

"Okay, Director Feng."

The head of Dongyang Meila's public relations department nodded in agreement, but he had already started cursing in his heart.

"You deserve it, you have vitiligo, your heart is darkened, aren't you going to suffer retribution?"
