Chapter 286 The show begins
In order to thank the creators of "Journey to the West" for their support, that night, Peng Yichen invited everyone to eat at the Donglai Shun Shabu mutton hot pot restaurant in Kyoto.
Peng Yichen, Yu Jing, Huang Bo, Sun Yizou, Li Yuqi and others sat at a table.
"I said Chenzi, I followed you for a day today, why still don't you understand how you turned the tables?" Huang Bo was eating mutton shabu while urging Peng Yichen to tell him about his plan to turn the tables.
Peng Yichen smiled slightly and explained to him: "Actually, the whole thing is very simple, I have made a lot of movies in the past two years, and I have been lucky enough to get unexpected box office results many times.
So some people used me as a 'stumbling block' and tried to get rid of me. This time, they took the opportunity to think about the release of "Journey to the West", and first relied on making up nonsense, through which media and Internet celebrities, to tell everyone a so-called 'insulting Buddha' story.
Then, by provoking the emotions of Buddhist believers and viewers who have a favorable impression of Buddhism, they achieve their goal of inciting public opinion, and finally send us and "Journey to the West" into the eighteen layers of hell. ”
Huang Bo replied thoughtfully: "What do you mean is that this time, the people who manipulated public opinion behind the scenes wrote a script of 'Journey to the West' insulting Buddha', and then bribed a bunch of media and Internet 'actors' to perform there to their heart's content, inciting the audience, making them think that what they said is true, and then using the power of the masses to defeat us......"
"You mean...... What are those "Xinjing Daily" and "Nandu Weekly", as well as Wei Dechang, the president of the Chinese Buddhist Association, the lay disciple of Zen Buddhism, Zen Master Fade, and the Buddhist star believer Liu Xiaoqin, all arranged by someone to deliberately smear us?" Li Yuqi listened to the words of the two, was stunned for a while, and said in surprise.
"The 'Buddhist Society' was originally a group organized by the people, and there was no one to supervise them at all. There are also those entertainment media and Weibo big Vs, all of which are a group of things that eat people and don't spit out bones.
As for Liu Xiaoqin, hehe, Lido Film and Television is now so close to CCTV Group, and they have part of their investment in "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic". Who do you think Liu Xiaoqin, the first sister of Lido, will help to speak, and take the opportunity to fall into the ground!!" Yu Jing sneered.
"Actually, I have long guessed who is probably behind the scenes to write such a ruthless script...... I can't help but say that they are very clever and directly found the most critical point of "Journey to the West". Peng Yichen continued Yu Jing's words.
Even he had to admit that the copywriting written by the other party attacking "Journey to the West" was quite clever, and it could almost push a movie and a film company to a dead end.
In terms of the shamelessness and ruthlessness of the means, these people from CCTV Group and Lido Film and Television Company are not at the same level as them at all.
"If that's what you say, these people ...... It's a gang, and it's just a deliberate attempt to smear us, so it's going to be difficult......" Li Yuqi only found out at this time that this matter was much more serious than she imagined.
If it is a spontaneous upsurge of public opinion by netizens, it will soon disappear by itself.
But if it is a deliberate negative news, then I am afraid that the other party will keep staring at them, the next movie, the next part, they will come out to attack Peng Yichen's movie......
"The other party is indeed very powerful, hiding behind the scenes to manipulate public opinion, incite public sentiment, and wantonly attack others is also very skillful. Peng Yichen suddenly showed a playful smile and said to the others at the table:
"But no matter how good they are, they are only playing away. In terms of inciting people's hearts and creating hot spots, no one in China can compare with us local Chinese filmmakers.
Peng Yichen looked around and continued confidently: "In the past, we, the directors and actors, dared to be angry in the face of big film companies and media, just because the other party wanted to block us, we didn't even have a chance to speak. But now Huaxia is different, we have the Internet, Weibo and other self-media, as long as we work together, we will never have to be afraid of those villains who hide in the corner and release cold arrows!"
Next, Peng Yichen arranged his plan for all the actors present to be ready to cooperate with him.
This time, if you don't make a move, Peng Yichen will teach those behind the scenes a profound lesson.
With experience in his previous life, he knows that those bastards in Hollywood only have money in their eyes, which is a typical example of remembering food and not fighting.
If you don't give them a profound lesson, let them know what can and can't be done in the Chinese film market.
Sooner or later, they will continue to think about these little actions like this time.
What's more, Peng Yichen knows that if he wants to lead Huaxia films to the international stage, he must also deal with these people.
Only by letting the other party know their "power" will there be "traitors" among them who will honestly cooperate with themselves.
……
After eating the mutton shabu that night, Peng Yichen immediately started the first step of his counteroffensive plan, calling all his friends in his circle and detonating a bomb on Weibo that he had already planted.
The reason why he wanted to find these friends was because he knew that at this time, if he or Yu Jing made any statement on Weibo, those Buddhist believers and netizens would not be detailed at all.
In that way, you will fall into the rhythm of the other person, and be said to wash the floor by yourself.
Therefore, he will definitely not come forward now, but will ignite the explosives that have been laid out one by one.
……
Early the next morning, Wang Scallion, the son of Wang Tianlin, chairman of Shengda Real Estate Group, made a move.
As a famous "tearing little prince" in the entertainment industry, his Weibo fans reached more than 12 million, so when he posted a new Weibo, countless netizens saw it:
"Some people say that "Journey to the West" is a movie that 'insults Buddha', and some so-called Buddhist believers on the Internet really dare to say that it is obviously a movie that worships and respects Buddha. Are you blind? The director added a lot of shots in the movie of praying for the fans with Buddhist scriptures, haven't you seen it? Of course, with your IQ, you may not be able to see it in front of you!?"
What worships and respects Buddha, and what uses Buddhist scriptures to pray for fans?
Wang Sina's Weibo suddenly made all the netizens who saw it curious, could it be that there are any scenes in "Journey to the West" that they didn't see?
Soon, someone exclaimed in a reply: "I remember, every time the scene of "Journey to the West" is shown, it seems that the picture will jump, is there a mystery in those shots?"
At this time, netizens suddenly reacted, and they all hurriedly called their friends and relatives who were watching "Journey to the West" in the cinema.
Sure enough, soon some netizens posted several transition shots of "Journey to the West", and every time Peng Yichen added a 1-second Buddhist scripture picture to it, but because this shot was so short, all fans and viewers didn't notice it before.
