Chapter 158: A Fan's Letter

With the enthusiastic response to "Old Boy", when Gu Xiaofan got up on Monday morning, he couldn't help but whimsically ask the army fans next door who were still sleeping:

"Brother Liu, this video is so popular, we might as well sell it to the TV station, right? The ratings of their broadcasts are definitely not low~! ”

Shooting so hard, it would be great to make some money, and he won't have to worry about his living expenses and tuition fees in the next few semesters. 【Reading.com】

Military fan Liu was kicked awake by him, and muttered helplessly:

"Don't think about it...... "Old Boy" can't be used as a commercial work at all, and it can't make money...... There are so many things in it that we don't have the copyright to, those streets, the crowd that was filmed in, and those songs from childhood......

Not to mention anything else, just by the footage of the video of Michael Jackson, Sony could sue us for bankruptcy......"

Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but feel lost when he heard this, he didn't expect commercial works to be so strict...... It's a lot more complicated than he thought.

In desperation, I had to pick up my laptop and open my "Xiaofan Bar".

The successes of these two days have made him very excited, and for him, the happiest thing every day is to look at the fan letters he has received.

Let's take a look at how fans feel when they see their work, and balance the loss of not making money......

Today, I also received a lot of fan letters, and almost all of them praised them.

"This song is so well written, Brother Xiao Fan is so talented."

"People in China who say pop music is dead can shut up."

"I didn't expect it, Brother Xiaofan's acting skills are much better than singing~"

Gu Xiaofan looked at it, and one of the letters was fascinating, written by a post-80s generation from the suburbs.

"Director Xiaofan, I watched the old boy you filmed last night, I kept crying, I watched it 23 times,

Today, the new year is quietly coming, time is always inadvertently flowing away, just like you wrote the lyrics, youth is like a rushing river, and you can't come back to say goodbye. But dreaming of things like classics will never fade with time.

At that time, I had a lot of ideals, but as time went by, I slowly faded away, and I would face the cruel reality of life, working from 9 to 5, dressed like a person, and like a dog wearing a famous brand in front of the strong man in the chain of interests.

I live for the house, for the car, for the ticket, for the ** life, I always feel that at this time in my life, I have no ideas and lost the fire of my dreams.

But I always thought that if I lost that fire when I had a child a few years later, I would never have burned the fire in my heart. Have you lived like this all your life, and have been walking into the grave in obscurity......

Every time I think about this time, I suddenly fall into despair, silence swallows me, where is my dream?

I'm carrying the weight of my life. I don't have the time and energy to look back at the path I've traveled.

Only the occasional touch made a smile appear on my lips. The occasional opportunity fills my heart with hope. The occasional sadness fills our cheeks with tears. Occasionally, occasionally, let me ...... But after that, everything was like a flash in the pan. It's just a tiny bump in life.

But after watching "Old Boy", I kept crying, gently rubbing my eyes, pinching the bridge of my nose, sitting down quietly, and enjoying that moment of ethereal inspiration.

It's a pleasure to reminisce about the past, and I feel like I'm actually the same as before, the fire in my heart has always been there, but I forgot to light it.

Thank you, Director Xiaofan, you have ignited the fire in my heart~ Let me know that I am still alive, I can live so happily and powerfully, thank you~"

Gu Xiaofan looked at the words on the screen, feeling the real emotions inside, the excitement and excitement brought by the increase in click-through rate, and the excitement was not as satisfying as this letter brought him.

Gu Xiaofan lay on the bed, reminiscing about this feeling, this is what he enjoys as a performer~!

Compared to the sense of accomplishment of making money, it's a fart~!

And Liu Shishi, Lou Yixiao, Dong Ge, and Indian Sister are also continuing to observe the reaction to their debut novel on the Internet, they also enjoy this kind of inner feedback from ordinary people, and enjoy the touching and sense of accomplishment that this work gives them, and everyone is in a very happy mood.

And now no one dares to laugh at the vulgarity of "Old Boy", and no one dares to question Gu Xiaofan who got 5,000 investment through the back door.

"Old Boy", as a movie with nostalgic feelings, has become a sacrosanct code name in the minds of young people in online literature and art!

A domestic movie with an investment of 5,000 yuan actually defeated Zhang Yimou's "Golden Armor" on the Internet?

This is definitely the scene that literary and artistic young people who tend to counterattack the weak love to see the most.

From Xiaofan Bar to Douban.com, literary and artistic youths began to form an official fan network group of Old Boys, and also took a similar name to the Jianghu organization "Nostalgic Gang" to start a large-scale network encirclement and suppression operation.

The targets of the action are all those media that have hacked "Old Boy" before.

The editors of Sina and Sohu.com, who had previously turned Director Wang to scold the vulgar article of "Old Boy", were all anxious.

"What kind of article is this, have you read "Old Boy"? The editor's eyes are blind!? Are you still dark in this film? ”

"Sina is really a website built by the Japanese! Specifically to undermine national unity, you all say vulgar in this film!? ”

"It's so funny, there are yellow picture advertising links next to the website, Gu Xiaofan's innocent movie, you criticize vulgarity? Do you have a face!? ”

The web editors of both sites were speechless...... What's the situation! How did this happen?

You must know that they used to collect advertising fees and send black articles, obviously they are just a small person, why have they been attacked by so many netizens?

Under the tremendous pressure of "Old Boy" fans, the editor of Sina.com hurriedly wrote an article entitled "Old Boy - Collective Memories of the Post-80s" and hung it on the cover of the entertainment edition, which read:

"To be honest, when I first saw this so-called micro-movie, I thought it was another purely boring spoof video, but now I find that I have completely misjudged, this is not a spoof video, but a youth movie about hot blood, everyone in the secret room in life should watch it and find their heart!"

At the moment when these mainstream online media are changing their attitudes, the influence of "Old Boy" is slowly expanding to other areas of society, and it is no longer just the micro-film itself, but it has become a wave of social nostalgia for youth.

And Director Wang of the Chinese opera didn't notice it at the moment, someone had been waiting for this moment, brewing, and preparing to give him the most fatal blow......
