This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 577 A Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

A conference room.

Looking at the data that had just been released, Chen Pengfei was furious: "My movie reviews can't be so bad. Someone must be hacking me. Someone is definitely hacking me?"

The box office of "Tianji" on the first day was 500 million. This figure can only be said to have barely reached Chen Pengfei's psychological bottom line.

The cost of "Tianji" is [-] million, and the box office needs to be at least [-] million to make money back, and more than [-] million to make money.

The box office on the first day was 500 million, which looked good, but it was far from enough for Chen Pengfei.

He expects the box office to exceed [-] million on the first day. Only in this way can the box office satisfy him.

Moreover, the movie "Tianji" is fully booked in terms of promotion and lineup. It is reasonable to have a box office of over [-] million on the first day, but it is unreasonable to have a box office of less than [-] million.

There is no doubt that there is only one reason why the movie box office does not exceed [-] million.

That means someone is maliciously smearing this movie.

Seeing the overwhelming negative reviews of "Tianji" on the Internet, Chen Pengfei was furious.

"Check for me, check for me quickly, who is the son of a bitch who dares to hack my movie?"

Chen Pengfei roared at the studio employees.

Instantly, these employees began to act as if they had been electrocuted.

"and many more."

Chen Pengfei suddenly said: "Focus on checking Xu Nan. I suspect this guy is up to something."

Xu Nan's "Female Flower" won't be released sooner or later. It has to wait until June 13th to be released on the same day as his.

If there is nothing fishy here, even ghosts would not believe it.

There are overwhelming negative reviews on the Internet, it is very likely that Xu Nan is up to something.

"I understand, I'll go investigate right away."

One of the studio supervisors spoke quickly.

After all the employees went out, Chen Pengfei took out the data sheet he had just printed out, looked at the first-day box office of "Female Flower", and let out a sneer.

Even if you try your best to hack my movie, what's the use? The box office on the first day was only over 1000 million. For a big director, it can be called a shame.

Compared with "Tianji"'s box office of nearly 9000 million on the first day, "Female Flower" is simply a hit at grandma's house.

This is retribution.

Although the results of the investigation have not yet come out, Chen Pengfei has determined that Xu Nan did this.

Besides Xu Nan, Chen Pengfei couldn't think of anyone else who would do such a thing.

However, current facts prove that this crooked approach makes no sense.

In the end, everything still depends on the quality of the movie.

The box office success of both films is proof of this.

at the same time.

Liu Yang found Xu Nan.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, I suddenly have a new idea about the movie "The Promise"."

"The Promise" is a copycat film currently being prepared by Summit Films.

Yes, you guessed it right, "The Promise" is a special remake of the movie "Tianji".

Theoretically, "The Promise" should be released a few days before "Tianji", so that it can take advantage of the popularity of "Tianji" and let "The Promise" gain the most box office.

But at that time, Xu Nan transferred the employees of Summit Film and Television to shoot the movie "Female Flower", so he copied "The Promise" and waited until "Tianji" was released before starting preparations.

The person in charge of filming "The Promise" is Liu Yang. He has rich experience and proficiency in this aspect.

"What do you mean?" Xu Nan asked.
"Mr. Xu, it's like this." Liu Yang explained: "Yesterday I went to the theater to watch "Tianji", and suddenly I felt that the original script was not good enough and it was not interesting to film it, so I wrote a new script and planned to follow this Shoot the script."

"Look at it."

Liu Yang gave the script he had stayed up late to write to Xu Nan.

Xu Nan looked at it seriously.

The name of the movie was changed by Liu Yang to "The Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun in Tianji".

The content is like this:

The police received a report that the bodies of three men were found in a yard. They rushed to the scene quickly and found that the scene was extremely bloody and cruel. Only a girl named Qingcheng survived, and she was crying over the corpses.

The police quickly started an investigation, but the girl named Qingcheng just cried but did not speak.

In desperation, they had to interview Manshen, the only witness at the scene, and ask her what happened.

Mango tells their story.

It turns out that she makes steamed buns. Qingcheng especially liked to eat her steamed buns when she was a child, but she always had no money to buy them.

Wu Huan, one of the deceased in this case, came to buy steamed buns when he was a child, but was deceived by Qingcheng. He has hated Qingcheng ever since.

After growing up, Qingcheng became a dancer at the Circle Entertainment City. Her daily job was to do striptease. Of course, her striptease was a healthier kind of striptease, in which she only took off one piece of clothing. At the same time, Qingcheng was also the boss of the entertainment city. A certain woman.

Wu Huan became the security manager of the entertainment city. Because of the steamed bun incident, Wu Huan held a grudge against Qing Cheng and always wanted revenge.

Finally one day, Wu Huan took advantage of the entertainment city manager Wang's salary arrears to incite the security guards to cause trouble, hoping to take the opportunity to kill Qing Cheng who had snatched his steamed buns when he was a child.

Just when the situation was critical, Wang's bodyguard Guangming rushed over wearing a mask, but he unexpectedly killed Wang and ran out of the entertainment city with Qingcheng.During this period, the two were separated due to an accident, and then Qingcheng met Guangming again wearing a mask. Because of the grace of saving her life, Qingcheng fell in love with Guangming, so she stayed with him.

As a result, a man named Kunlun appeared and said that he was the one who saved Qingcheng. At that time, Guangming received a call for help from Wang, but he could not go because he was injured, so he called Kunlun and gave him the mask he usually wore. , let him save Wang.

At that time, Guangming also said that he didn't have to worry about anything, even if he killed people, he would carry it out, so Kunlun put on a mask and went there. But because he didn't know the person, he asked Guangming who was the entertainment city manager Wang, and Guangming said he didn't have a weapon. The person is Wang.

As a result, Kunlun accidentally killed Wang and rescued Qingcheng. The whole thing was a misunderstanding.

Qingcheng was confused and didn't know who to choose. Just when Guangming and Kunlun were fighting over Qingcheng, the security captain Wu Huan appeared and kidnapped Qingcheng.

Guangming and Kunlun stopped fighting when they saw this, and rushed to save Qingcheng. Then they all started fighting in a room. All three people died, and only Qingcheng survived.

After reading the script, Xu Nan couldn't help but laugh.

To be honest, Liu Yang's script is indeed better than the original one.

People who have watched the movie "Tianji" can probably tell at a glance that this movie is meant to satirize "Tianji".

Liu Yang's use of legal program techniques to shoot movies is definitely a huge breakthrough and is likely to cause a sensation and achieve great success.

To take a step back, it doesn't matter even if it fails. The advantage of knocking off porcelain is its low cost. If you lose, you will only lose hundreds of thousands. If you make a profit, it will be a big profit.

Xu Nan nodded: "Okay, just shoot like this, you can make your own decision."

Liu Yang happily picked up the script.

"and many more."

Xu Nan suddenly thought of a question: "The name of the movie is "The Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun in Tianji", and the character names are directly called Qingcheng, Wuhuan, Manshen, and Guangming. You can tell at a glance that it is plagiarism. What if Chen Pengfei sues? us?"

Liu Yang smiled: "Mr. Xu, are we afraid that others will sue us?"

"Taking a step back, even if Chen Pengfei really sued us and won the lawsuit, it would only be a loss of some of the movie's profits. Wouldn't it have a big impact on us?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Xu Nan smiled happily and patted Liu Yang on the shoulder happily: "Old Liu, Old Liu, you are worthy of being the veteran of the company and my humerus minister."

"Go ahead and do it boldly, I support you."

"Ah."

Liu Yang nodded heavily, took the script and went to make the movie.

Just when Liu Yang started preparing for "The Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun in Tianji".

On the Internet, there are more and more negative reviews about the movie "Tianji".

Although Chen Pengfei asked the studio employees to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes, he also asked them to criticize and change public opinion. The producers of the "Tianji" movie, Fang Xinghai Film and Television, and Hengxing Film and Television are also helping to control reviews, but the effect is still not obvious.

On the Internet, netizens insulted her in all kinds of ways.

"The most trashy movie ever made."

"I don't understand how Chen Pengfei can make such a bad movie."

"Zhang Baizhi is also weird. She doesn't have the aura she had when she debuted."

"I'm just curious, how come there are no people living in that imperial city that is all circles? There aren't even a single commoner. There are only two people in the palace, the king and the princess Qingcheng, right?"

"The accent is also very strange. I have no objection to using Hong Kong City and Neon actors to play the part, but I have to use dubbing. Listening to their weird Mandarin, I was instantly moved."

"This movie fully reflects Chen Pengfei's naivety and shallowness."

"I just want to ask Chen Pengfei one thing, what is this movie about? After watching the movie, I didn't understand what the movie was about."

"I was in prison for 18 years. The first thing I did after I was released from prison was to watch the movie "Tianji". I cried after watching the movie. When I returned to the prison, the prison guard asked me why I came back. I said "Tianji" was outside."

"Chen Pengfei, I suggest you find a mental hospital to check."

Looking at the comments on the Internet, Chen Pengfei's face became darker and darker.

Shameless trolls, how dare you hack my movie like this.

Don't let me find out who you are, or else.
Chen Pengfei gritted his teeth.

It was at this time that he received a call from a studio executive.

"How about, find out who is hacking me behind my back?"

Chen Pengfei asked impatiently.

"That, Director Chen"

The studio executive hesitantly said: "Here, I didn't find out that anyone was throwing dirt on the movie behind its back. The bad reviews online seemed to be spontaneous by netizens."

"What do you mean?"

Chen Pengfei's face changed instantly: "How did you become a supervisor? You can't even find out such a thing."

"Do you think it's possible for netizens to take it upon themselves to do so?"

Chen Pengfei scolded the executive severely.

"I'm sorry, Director Chen. I will immediately step up the investigation and I will definitely find out who is behind this."

The executive retreated and hung up the phone.

"idiot."

Chen Pengfei was so angry that this idiot actually said that the negative reviews on the Internet were all spontaneously done by netizens.

how can that be.
