The experiences during this period made Dong Xi deeply understand what it means to sit at home and have pots dropped from the sky.

Although the media has been hyping up the Lunar New Year handover battle between Dong Xi and Lao Mouzi, in fact Dong Xi didn't pay much attention.

Zhang Yimou is not Feng Pants. Although his box office is higher, it is obvious that he is not suitable for this time.

In other words, it has not yet been fully integrated into commercial films. Unlike the sharp personal style of "If You Have Something to Say" in previous years, Lao Mouzi wants to find a balance.

Balancing the boundaries between art and commerce, but facts have proven that this matter is not so easy.

It's easy to trip yourself if you walk with two legs together.

So it turns out that you don’t want to rub off on others, but if they try to rub off on you, there’s no way.

[A certain director’s acting is so rude to fans that they are still proud of it?]

This editorial published in a newspaper was written by a senior professor at the film school.

The entire article stands on the moral high ground and suppresses Dong Xi at the "academic" level.

It aroused quite a reaction, and all kinds of monsters and monsters popped out for a while.

Obviously, even if they have nothing to do with Dong Xi, these people will try their best to put shackles on him.

The routine of following the behavior of fans and idols paying for it is actually attacking Dong Xi to increase their own reputation.

They are very familiar with this kind of routine. They have all been fooled by Lao Mouzi, Pants, and Jiang Wen.

They attack whoever is popular. This group of writers in the film and television industry, like the Internet celebrities of later generations, have no lower moral limits.

Relying on the influence of itself and the platform, it can be said that it has always been tried and tested, but it is addictive.

However, the popularity of the Internet has allowed more and more people to make their voices heard.

Under such circumstances, Dong Xi's film review website [Eggplant] was launched online, and advertisements were placed on all major portal websites, attracting more than 20,000 registered members in three days.

In an instant, Eggplant Network became a well-known website, and the first activity of the website was to make a special feature on this year's New Year's film.

And some well-known film critics were invited to post movie reviews under the movie rating.

As of the nationwide release of "Mr. Plan", the ratings of several movies that have been released are as follows.

"Happy Time": 7.8 points, popcorn index 30%, slippers index 50%.

"Defensive Counterattack": 6.2 points, popcorn index 20%, slippers index 80%.

"Fuss": 6.8 points, popcorn index 30%, slipper index 70%.

"Examination as a Family": 6.2 points, popcorn index 10%, slippers index 90%.

"Beautiful Home": 7.0 points, popcorn index 30, slippers index 50%.

Ratings are available to all members, with a full score of 10. The popcorn index is a positive review from the film critic, the slipper is a negative review, and neutral reviews are only recorded in the index.

Now the film critics are all certified well-known film critics. In the future, users with good reputation will be selected from ordinary members and promoted to public film critics.

This promotion system is also very transparent, that is, if you post more movie reviews, the more likes you get, the higher your hidden score will be.

Nowadays, netizens are very curious about everything. This kind of behavior of being able to rate movies makes them extremely excited and naturally highly involved.

Moreover, netizens are also relatively honest. Very few people rate movies they have not seen. Instead, they go to the cinema to watch the movies and then come back to rate and write reviews.

Of course, in order to prevent spoilers, there will be manual review. During the movie's release, large-scale spoilers are not allowed.

This is considered professional ethics.

And because there is no limit to the number of words in a film review, many film reviews of several thousand words are published.

The writing may be a little childish, but the enthusiasm can be felt even across the screen.

There are also audience expectations lists for unreleased movies, and the top three among them are "The Secret Agent", "Mr. Plan" and "The Forbidden City".

All have a lineup of big directors and big stars, while other films that have not yet been released directly become cannon fodder.

Not only is it not popular, the audience doesn't even care. This is the bloody reality.

In those years when the Internet was underdeveloped, it was undoubtedly a foolish dream to rely on word of mouth to counterattack.

The film relies on quality 30% and publicity 70%.

Regarding the recent turmoil, Dong Xi did not choose to remain silent. Han Bin directly filed a lawsuit against the associate professor of the film school in court.

Claiming huge amounts of money.

Using the company's name instead of Dong Xi's name is slander and rumors. Perhaps it has been too smooth in recent years, and this time the other party's wording has exceeded the limit.

It was obviously a matter that had little to do with Dong Xi, but he still wanted to drag Dong Xi into his back.

I originally thought this would be a tug-of-war, but the opponent immediately became intimidated.

Privately, he asked someone to sue for peace, but Han Bin was keenly aware that this was an opportunity for speculation.

So when "Mr. Plan" was released, he held a press conference as the president of Xizi Film and Television.

"Recently, some writers, in the name of doing good for domestic films, have slandered an internationally renowned young director and slandered his character."

"We will not choose to compromise in this situation. The other party must publicly apologize in the newspaper within 7 days, otherwise we will prepare to go to court!"

Han Bin, who spoke righteously and sternly, went all out at the press conference to portray Dong Xi as a young man who would sacrifice himself for the rise of domestic films.

"In order to make a good movie, Director Dong often gets up very early to prepare for work. One of his words remains fresh in my memory."

Seeing the expectant looks of reporters everywhere, Han Bin took a deep breath and said, "Have you ever seen Beijing at four o'clock in the morning?"

"Wow~" This sentence directly caused everyone present to feel a chill in their tailbones.

Immediately, Dong Xi worked until midnight and then got up at four o'clock in the morning to prepare for the next day's shooting plan.

He even stayed up all night drawing movie sequences and rehearsing the script over and over again.

What kind of craftsmanship is this?

Film Craftsman——Dong Dazhuang!

The next day, the overwhelming announcements were:

[Dong Xi: Young Chinese filmmaker!]

[Contemporary "Zhou Papi", a director who started earlier than a chicken!]

[The secret to success: four o’clock in the morning!]

No matter what the title is, the first sentence at the beginning is: Have you ever seen the sky at four o'clock in the morning?————Dong Xi.

Dong Xi, who was sitting in the office, looked at the pile of newspapers in front of him, his brows twitching.

Then he raised his head and looked at Han Bin, who was sitting in front of him, looking very proud of himself.

"When the hell did I ever say that to you?"

"Haha, this is my momentary burst of inspiration, how about it?"

The two of them just stared at each other, and then burst into laughter together.

"Hahahahahaha~"

It must be said that this was a successful hype. Even the Yangma column team called the company, hoping that Dong Xi could do an exclusive interview.

The theme is: the living conditions of contemporary young directors.

After this wave of strong promotion, the Lunar New Year film "Mr. Plan" was officially released nationwide on December 30.
Chapter completed!
