83. Premiere (Part 1)
Early the next morning, the front page headlines of major entertainment newspapers announced the news that the two New Year blockbusters, "The World Without Thieves" and "Mobile Mobile", were killed one after another. As for the source of their news, it was undoubtedly Ye Sumang quietly released.
These two films can be said to have been put together and hyped since the end of July. The public's attention has reached its peak. At this time, news of being killed by the General Administration of GD suddenly came out. While many people found it incredible, they felt that they were extremely resistant to the General Administration of GD.
The title of Kyoto Entertainment News even puts out the crime of "false" - a movie that was unjustly killed, and it was accused of "false"! It elaborates in detail the reason why the two movies were killed, and this truth also makes many movie fans surprisingly angry.
"What's going on with the GD General Administration? What bad reasons are you looking for?"
"It's so annoying. Why does the content of the video involve instigation? And doesn't the instigation issue vary from person to person!?"
"Protest! The dictatorship of the GD General Administration is so abominable. All we see are their self-righteous castration films!"
The power of netizens is powerful. In just one day, the forum website of the GD General Administration was squeezed out by a large number of netizens three times, which scared the technicians so much that they had to temporarily close the website, but it still couldn't stop the anger of the movie fans. After only half an hour of closing the website, they were suddenly invaded by hackers. The homepage of the entire website was also replaced with a picture of a eunuch ceasing himself.
Amid the protests of movie fans, the Directors Association also stood up immediately and vigorously criticized the censorship system of the General Administration of GD. With this semi-official form of association as a backing, the fans resisted more powerfully. In addition to the Internet, the hotlines of the General Administration of GD were almost all blown up in reality.
Bang---!
"How did this news be revealed!" In an office of the GD General Administration, a bald middle-aged man shouted angrily, which scared many people passing by outside, but many people secretly covered their mouths, obviously knowing what the middle-aged man is doing now.
This bald middle-aged man is the main person in charge of the review of the film this time. He probably didn't expect that such a big thing would happen this time if so many works were killed.
His real idea of killing two movies is actually very simple. Someone paid him to get stuck in "The World Without Thieves". As for "Mobile Mobile", it was entirely a personal grudge between him and Feng Xiaogang. But what he couldn't imagine was how powerful the power of public opinion was. If only one movie was killed, it might not have such a reaction at all. But if the two movies were killed together, it would be like accidentally throwing a lit match into a pile of bombs. It seemed that the match was very ordinary, but if you accidentally cause a super explosion.
Suddenly, a phone ringing sound woke up the quiet office. The middle-aged man picked up the phone with trembling hands and quickly hung up again, but his forehead was covered with sweat.
At the same time, in a building in Kyoto, Feng Xiaogang was having tea and chatting with his friend Zheng Xiaolong.
"Did you say I am a gun?" Looking at today's newspaper, Feng Xiaogang complained with a little depressedly. Almost everyone guessed that the source of the news came from Feng Xiaogang's head. This was really wronged. However, he was worried about the movie review. He didn't sleep all night yesterday, but he didn't expect that such news would be released early in the morning.
"What's wrong with being a gun?" Zheng Xiaolong said with a funny look with peanuts in his hand: "Anyway, aren't you worried about the censorship of the movie? There is such a thing, and the other end of GD probably won't dare to stick it anymore. This is a good thing. I think you'll thank the master behind this."
Listening to the old friend's teasing, Feng Xiaogang was so angry that he took a sip of herbal tea. The blame also made Feng Xiaogang carry it himself. Of course, he had suspected that Ye Sumang was also stuck, but the other party's young age made him not believe that the other party dared to have such courage, which made the General Administration of GD.
Ye Sumang, the real mastermind of this matter, was leisurely staying at home, and was drinking hot pot with Huang Bo and Ning Hao.
Not long ago, the GD General Administration called Ye Sumang and asked Ye Sumang to submit the video for review again. The reason was not mentioned, and Ye Sumang did not ask. Anyway, everyone knew it well, and he would not deliberately expose the scar of the GD General Administration.
As for this review, it is obviously just a face-saving project, and the video is basically guaranteed to pass it.
As expected, a week later, the GD General Administration issued a notice that "The World Without Thieves" and "Mobile Mobile" both passed the review, and the World Film and Television led by Ye Sumang became busy again.
However, the most difficult thing at present is the publicity work. "Mobile Phone" has not invested much, but their publicity is very powerful. Ye Sumang, who has weak public relations skills, is hard to match. However, Ye Sumang did not feel disappointed. He couldn't fight on the TV media platform, so Ye Sumang focused his publicity on the Internet. Major portals have hung promotional advertisements for "The World Without Thieves". At the same time, Ye Sumang also planned and launched a lottery event with advertisements. Some products that looked very attractive were placed on the lottery platform, attracting countless netizens to participate.
The battle between the two films was far from over when promoting one side. Soon, the behind-the-scenes of the two films appeared on major TV media. The hilarious content and wonderful fights can be said that both films attracted a lot of attention, making many fans shout that there are films to watch this holiday.
In the end, the release dates of the two films were also decided one after another. "The World Without Thieves" is scheduled for December 15, while "Mobile Mobile" is scheduled for December 18. The box office battle between the two films seems inevitable.
It was soon December 14th. Ye Sumang was standing at the door of Times Cinema in formal attire. Times Cinema is very different from the past. Not only is there a long red carpet on the door, but there are also employees carrying some large flower baskets at the entrance.
"Su Mang, thank you so much. I didn't expect you to think of me." As the owner of Times Cinema, Li Mao is really grateful to Ye Sumang from the bottom of his heart at this moment. If the last cooperation was mutual benefit between the two parties, then Ye Sumang will put the premiere ceremony in his theater this time, which is completely a big help.
"Brother Li, the words are so serious." Ye Sumang said with a smile. He himself had an indescribable attachment to Times Cinema. After all, this was the first place to be released in his first movie. Everything inside was full of memories and touched him. So this time, he did not choose those five-star theaters, but placed the premiere in an inconspicuous small theater.
Li Mao still has to say something, the media reporters who had been waiting around suddenly exclaimed a sensation, and they saw them aiming all the flashes at the other end of the red carpet...
