"The first-day box office champion - 1.5 million!"

"Don't Talk to Strangers became the highest-grossing film on the first day of 2002!"

"Don't Talk to Strangers" amassed 1.5 million in one day, and the box office exceeded 10 million just around the corner!"

"Lin Zhimo's debut film became a big gold absorber, and it received 1.5 million on the first day of screening!"

……

The next day, countless media focused on Lin Zhimo and his "Don't Talk to Strangers", after all, the box office of 1.5 million yuan on the first day can be said to have broken a series of records, except for those first-line directors, no one dares to say that the movie they made will definitely be able to do this on the first day.

Compared with the hot reports in the paper media, the reactions to this on the online media are mixed, with some supporting, some opposing, some hanging high on their own business, and some fishing in troubled waters.

"The boss is mighty! Strive for the box office of the movie to exceed 10 million as soon as possible! Netizen "Happy Snowflake" opened a post in the entertainment section of the Tianya Forum, writing.

"Haha, those opponents see it now, right? You know what a genius is, right? Our boss is top-notch in everything he does! Acting is an international actor, singing is the sales champion, and the director is also the top! Netizen "The big river flows north" said triumphantly.

"On the top floor, the boss is now slapping his face, and every time the new box office data comes out, those people's faces are swollen once." Netizen "Peter Pan" is also a gloating master.

"The two upstairs are right, I'll look for it now. Turn out all the newspapers that originally criticized how those people criticized the boss, and put them on the Internet for everyone to see! ”

"Yes, take it all out, let's whip the corpse!"

"I like the word whipped, and I'm going to take out the newspapers I collected earlier!"

……

The speed of netizens is very fast, and in less than half an hour, all the newspapers of those media were photographed and posted on the Internet when Lin Zhimo had just started filming.

It didn't matter, everyone was by these reporters.

I saw a media report when it first found out that Lin Zhimo was going to make a movie: "Lin Zhimo definitely has something wrong with his brain, otherwise how could he make such a decision to make a movie?" He thought that making movies was as fun as playing at home, but he didn't have professional knowledge and a lot of practice. How is it possible to make a good movie? ”

After that, he seemed to feel that this was not enjoyable, so he reissued another report: "Everyone admits that Lin Zhimo is indeed talented. Whether it is singing or acting, he is a top entertainment person, but making movies and these two professions are completely different, try to see how many people in the world dare to pick up a camera in their twenties? ”

Even when Lin Zhimo led the crowd to Berlin to attend the film festival, the media chattered endlessly to Lin Zhimo: "We tell Lin Zhimo in the spirit of honesty." It's dangerous abroad. It's cold in Berlin. Be mentally prepared! ”

As a result, a few days later, the news that Lin Zhimo's film won the Best Actress award was transmitted back to China, and the voice criticizing Lin Zhimo in this media suddenly disappeared, only to see that their reporting wind took a 180-degree turn: "Lin Zhimo deserves to be the leader of the sixth generation of directors in my country." The debut film put Gong Li, who has participated in many years but has not won an award, to the throne of the actress, which is a good proof of Lin Zhimo's excellent directing ability! The cold Berlin is as warm as spring for Lin Zhimo. ”

After the box office of "Don't Talk to Strangers" came out yesterday, this newspaper praised Lin Zhimo as a rare director in heaven and on earth: "Lin Zhimo can erect a monument of his own in the history of Chinese film with the reputation of the first-day box office champion, we have every reason to expect Lin Zhimo to achieve better results on this basis and climb higher mountains, let us bless him!" ”

Although with the increasing development of technology, people no longer believe what the so-called "uncrowned king" said, but the unassertive and herded reports of this media still make people not know what to say.

Everyone has underestimated the lower limit of those media as much as possible, but I didn't expect to overestimate a lot in the end, and in the face of such a strange media, everyone has no other way but to retreat.

Lin Zhimo also saw this report, and wrote this incident on his blog as a joke, so the fans who had been paying attention to Lin Zhimo's blog update immediately knew about it, and then I didn't know who specially wrote a couplet for this newspaper - "Once you enter your newspaper, it is as deep as the sea, and from now on you will be a passerby."

So this media is completely famous, originally just a gossip newspaper in a small city, but after the fermentation of the Internet, it became a well-known newspaper in the country in an instant, but this kind of fame is probably not what they wanted.

Time passed, and soon the box office of "Don't Talk to Strangers" came out the next day, and the box office declined slightly, 1.45 million!

1.3 million on the third day!

……

A week later, the total box office of "Don't Talk to Strangers" has reached 8 million, and there is absolutely no problem to break through 10 million, it depends on whether it can reach the goal of 20 million in the future.

Eleven days after its release, the total box office of "Don't Talk to Strangers" officially exceeded 10 million yuan.

Lin Zhimo also took the opportunity to hold a small celebration party, after all, it has created a miracle that the genre of literary films can break through 10 million, this matter is just like what the undisciplined media said, no matter whether Lin Zhimo makes movies in the future or not, Lin Zhimo's name will definitely be remembered by future generations in the history of Chinese films.

Next, just as Lin Zhimo was about to send the film to the Yenching University Student Film Festival, he received a call from Huo Xiwen.

"What, you mean the call from the Ganzhou City Government?" Lin Zhimo asked in surprise.

"Yes, your hometown is going to invite you to be the ambassador of your hometown." As Huo Xiwen spent more and more time in the mainland, her understanding of Chinese mainland officialdom became more and more profound. She also felt incredible about Ganzhou City's invitation to Lin Zhimo as an image ambassador.

It is not without Chinese city ambassadors before, but generally speaking, it is not determined by the city government itself, or a local cultural celebrity, such as a writer, painter, calligrapher and other representatives of high art. There has never been a star in the entertainment industry who has become the image ambassador of the city before, not even in the second and third tier cities!

The reason is very simple, up to now, the image of stars in the entertainment industry is naturally good for the general public, but since ancient times, Chinese people have often called people in the entertainment industry "drama", and the meaning of contempt is self-evident, and there is an ancient Chinese saying that "bitches are ruthless, and dramas are meaningless". It's much the same today; And another reason is that there are too many stars in the entertainment industry. Who knows if there will be a scandal one day, and this will affect the city he represents.

To sum up, when a city chooses a spokesperson, it would rather choose a painter and writer who is unfamiliar to the broad masses of the people. is also reluctant to choose these well-known stars in the entertainment industry.

This is also the reason why Lin Zhimo and Huo Xiwen were surprised by this. However, this matter is beneficial to Lin Zhimo and harmless. Not to mention that he still endorses his hometown, so Lin Zhimo agreed to the invitation from Ganzhou City after a little thought.

Of course, what Lin Zhimo didn't know was that the reason why Ganzhou City made this decision was also for Zeng Mengquan's sake. The mayor of Ganzhou City belongs to the Zeng family, and he naturally knows very well about the changes in their Zeng family. Originally, he hadn't made up his mind about whether to invite Lin Zhimo, after all, Lin Zhimo is too famous now, and there are many so-called popular people, who knows if there will be a scandal about Lin Zhimo after a while.

But later, after the broadcast boom of "Don't Talk to Strangers", the mayor felt that this matter was not something to try, and the reason was very simple, just because Lin Zhimo was Zeng Mengquan's nephew.

The mayor was worried that if Lin Zhimo had negative news in the future, it would involve him, the mayor who proposed Lin Zhimo as his image ambassador, and it would cause dissatisfaction among his superiors. But then he wanted to open it, as an official of his level, if he wants to continue to climb a step up, he must have a backer, and his backer is undoubtedly the Zeng family.

He chose Lin Zhimo as the city's image ambassador, which is naturally a way to please the Zeng family, no matter whether Lin Zhimo's reputation is good or bad, the Zeng family must remember this heart. Moreover, the mayor also felt in his heart that with Zeng Mengquan's identity as the deputy director of the Propaganda Department, he was afraid that he would never let the negative news about Lin Zhimo spread too widely, and he could be said to be invincible.

In addition, the central authorities are now vigorously propagating the slogan of emancipating the mind and emancipating vitality, and this kind of behavior can be regarded as liberation in a certain sense.

On the contrary, if Lin Zhimo, a person in the entertainment industry with a good reputation, really develops according to the current momentum, it is not impossible to become an international star in the future, then he will be the mayor of himself and will be both famous and profitable.

Lin Zhimo naturally didn't know the origin of his image ambassador, he just felt that this was a supreme honor for himself.

The three-character scripture says well, "Promote fame and show parents; Light in front, abundance in the back".

For every Chinese, I am afraid that in their bones they want to do a glorious career, and now, Lin Zhimo has become the spokesperson of his hometown, which is undoubtedly a glorious thing worthy of special books.

And when Lin Zhimo told his family about this, as Lin Zhimo expected, everyone was very excited about this matter, even the grandfather who came down from the battlefield was very relieved.

A week later, accompanied by his family, Lin Zhimo returned to Ganzhou, and the next day he officially held a media conference with the municipal government, at which it was announced that Lin Zhimo had become the image ambassador of Ganzhou, the provincial capital of Northwest Province!

Astound!

All the reporters who attended the press conference were extremely surprised and puzzled by Ganzhou's behavior.

This is the image spokesperson of a city, no matter how famous Lin Zhimo is now, it is not worth Ganzhou City to value him so much, right, they are not afraid that Lin Zhimo will be riddled with scandals in the future?

But no matter what they think, it's a foregone conclusion, and they can't change it if they want to.

Of course, Ganzhou City also left a back hand for this, that is, Lin Zhimo's image ambassador has a time limit, and if Lin Zhimo has no negative news after two years, then this image ambassador will naturally be him. But if Lin Zhimo is riddled with negative news after two years, then Ganzhou has the right to choose another person to be the spokesperson.

Lin Zhimo naturally knew about Ganzhou City's concerns, so he didn't have any opinion on it, and he felt that he might not be able to continue to be the image spokesperson for two years. After all, Chinese officialdom changes frequently, and who knows if the next leader of Ganzhou will continue to let himself serve as this ambassador? Maybe the next leader doesn't like the stars in the entertainment industry?

Anyway, the initiative is all in the hands of Ganzhou City, and all Lin Zhimo can do is to shoot his own city propaganda video.

But despite this, Lin Zhimo still felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

"Sister Wen, is there a lot of money in our company's account now?" Lin Zhimo dialed Huo Xiwen's phone.

"There are more than 20 million, is there anything wrong?"

"I want to do something for my hometown." Lin Zhimo did not hide it, and directly said his thoughts.

"Charity?" Huo Xiwen pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you need me to call a few media?" ”

"No, no, no, I'm not going to make a big deal about it." Lin Zhimo hurriedly refused, and as soon as he became an image ambassador, he would be misunderstood as a show, which was not a good thing for Ganzhou City and Lin Zhimo.

In fact, the idea of charity was born when he was asked by his grandfather to pave the way for the bridge in the village, but he has been waiting until now because of various things. (To be continued......)
