The celebration banquet on the second day was held in a very grand manner. They announced that they had entered the film and television industry before, but there was no big move. Unexpectedly, after two years of silence, such a large satellite was suddenly released, so Starx Film certainly chose to celebrate it well.

Xu Wenruo and Qi Yue, Meng Da and other starring actors attended the event. At the banquet, Xu Wenruo saw Wu Xuan who had not seen for a long time. Mr. Wang stood beside Wu Xuan with a spring breeze on his face, with a strange expression, as if he was trying to please him.

This made Xu Wenruo feel a little inexplicably. It seemed that Wu Xuan’s relationship was a little harder than he had imagined. Xu Wenruo walked to the two of them. When Wu Xuan saw Xu Wenruo, his eyes lit up, so he quickly walked to his side.

"Happy New Year, Lao Xu."

As a friend, Xu Wenruo could see at a glance what Wu Xuan was thinking. Wu Xuan and Xu Wenruo were actually the same type of people, and they were both tired of this kind of business mutual bragging scene. Although Wu Xuan was much more outgoing than Xu Wenruo, his extroversion was reflected in his interactions with his peers. A greasy middle-aged man like Mr. Wang, the sunny boy Wu Xuan could not stand it at all.

"Happy New Year, long time no see, where is Mr. Wu having fun recently?"

"When did I go and live happily? Don't be tainted and innocent. Before the New Year, I was busy helping with movies. After the New Year, I came to attend the celebration banquet immediately. I didn't have any spare time at all."

Wu Xuan, who walked to Xu Wenruo, was obviously much more lively. He opened his mouth and started to criticize Xu Wenruo, which was completely different from the way he stood beside Mr. Wang.

"Director Xu, Mr. Wu, I'll go to the door to receive guests first. You can chat and see you back."

Mr. Wang has been living in the workplace for many years and is very eye-catching. Seeing Wu Xuan's expression, he realized that he should leave. So he nodded at Xu Wenruo and then walked outside the door very naturally.

Qi Yue thought about it carefully and she followed Mr. Wang to the door. Today's celebration banquet was not stars, but some big names in the industry. This time they attended the celebration banquet for the sake of Xingxun Group.

Therefore, for Fengqi Studio, this is an opportunity to broaden your connections. If Xu Wen doesn't like this kind of interpersonal communication, then Qi Yue, who is responsible for daily work, has to shoulder the banner. In fact, this is exactly what Qi Yue has to do.

She is not only Xu Wenruo's agent, but also the boss of Fengqi Studio. She can't escape such a thing as making friends.

Xu Wenruo and Wu Xuan and Mengda sat in the crew seat together. Before everyone could come, the few people started chatting.

"Mr. Wu, how does it feel to make a movie?"

"Don't mention it, it's very uncomfortable, it's really very uncomfortable to be a star."

When Wu Xuan heard Xu Wenruo ask about this topic, he started to go out to bitter water, but the words he said sounded very much Versailles, but looking at Wu Xuan's expression, he probably didn't mean it.

"When I went home for the New Year, I went to the cinema to watch a movie, but I was recognized and then I was blocked in the cinema for five hours without coming out. It was so uncomfortable."

"Your treatment is not something else wants."

"That's right, Mr. Wu, you are in a blessing and don't know how to be blessed. Just like when I walk on the street, no one can recognize me. I still have to envy you."

After hearing what happened to Wu Xuan, Meng Da did have a hint of envy in his eyes, but he knew very well that as a greasy middle-aged man, he could not compare with a young man like Xu Wenruo and Wu Xuan in any case. The popularity of a movie directly made Wu Xuan a star that everyone sought after, but for him, at most, he was just familiar with the audience.

Meng Da knew this very well. Although he was envious, his inner emotions were very peaceful. He had survived it for so many years, and he actually had a strong resistance to these things.

"Don't envy me, I think it's better to be an ordinary person, and celebrities are too unfree."

Wu Xuan shook his head. He really didn't care about these things. It was worthless to Wu Xuan for the very precious popularity and fame and fortune of others. Therefore, in this situation of popularity, he actually had the idea of ​​quitting the entertainment industry.

"Then I have a good story to shoot from now on, and you don't plan to participate?"

"I'll talk about the future later. Anyway, I'll definitely have to avoid the limelight recently."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Wu Xuan with pity, but Xu Wenruo understood his thoughts very well. After all, everyone has different views, and Wu Xuan does not lack these things at all.

Before, he participated in training camps and filmed with Xu Wenruo, but now it has affected Wu Xuan's own life. Of course, he has to choose to rest for a while. Not everyone hopes that he is very famous and admired by thousands of people.

"I understand. I'll contact you again if I want to make interesting movies in the future."

Xu Wenruo patted Wu Xuan on the shoulder and expressed respect for his choice. Wu Xuan also nodded at Xu Wenruo. At this moment, Xu Wenruo couldn't help frowning when he heard the chat of the crew members.

"Hey, have you read the news recently? It seems that the Internet is getting messy again. There are currently several blockbusters with negative reviews, and many people are squirting."

"I saw it, we were actually caught in it. I don't know which water army hired by the company. I'm really shameless."

If it weren't for the chatting between these two staff members, Xu Wenruo really didn't know that the Internet had been a big fuss about several movies, so Xu Wenruo silently took out his cell phone and began to understand the situation. But the more he understood, the more Xu Wenruo's brows were frowned tightly.

The public opinion war that just fermented yesterday has begun to change today. At the beginning, it was just fans and some navy black fans who criticized each other. However, as the battle became more and more intense, many people began to lose their moral ethics.

Even if the Internet has completed the real-name system, it is not illegal to criticize others. It is fine to be timid in reality, but you must attack hard online!

Originally, there was no big relationship between the four movies, but after a chaotic battle, netizens began to compare with each other, and it seemed that they had to tell who was the strongest king of the New Year holiday this year.

Currently, "Talk Expert" occupies a favorable position because it is currently the box office of the entire New Year holiday. The other three movies have just been released and cannot threaten the status of "Talk Expert".

Just yesterday, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the box office of "The Legend of the Gods" with a box office of 300 million on the first day was cut in half, leaving only 160 million. The box office result dropped by a jumping-off building, which made people stunned.

Even though Huayi's response strategy is very timely, public opinion has fermented after all, and many viewers who intend to watch "The Legend of the Gods" also know that the reputation of the movie has fluctuated, so they planned to wait and see again. This caused the box office of "The Legend of the Gods" to plummet the next day after the first box office of 300 million yuan.

Even though Huayi chooses to pull others into the water together, the audience's desire to spend money to watch movies still exists. There are not many movies they can choose. They always have to choose one of the four movies. There are always ones that can be watched among the short guys.

So, on the second day of the junior high school, the box office of "Mechanical God of War 3" rose against the wind, reaching 280 million, ranking as the box office champion of the day.

When word of mouth fluctuates widely, the audience decisively chose foreign blockbusters. After all, the audience just wanted to watch a scene when watching movies. If they can't tell whether a good movie or a bad movie, then if they keep choosing a big mecha, no plot is important, and it's all done if they're enjoyable.

Perhaps Huayi Public Relations Department did not expect that all their efforts were made wedding dresses for this foreign blockbuster. They did put others in the water, but it was obvious that some movies could swim, and it was obvious that "The Investiture of the Gods" might be the first person to be drowned.

Yesterday, the second-ranked box office was Fang Long's movie "Flying Dragon Detective", which second only to "Mechanical God of War 3", reaching 230 million, an increase from the first day's box office.

The reason why the audience chose to watch this movie is similar to "Mechanical God of War 3". Anyway, they can't tell whether it's a good movie or a bad movie, so it's better to choose based on their feelings. Normally, Fang Long has been well-known for so many years. No matter how bad his movie is, it's not much, and at least the action scenes can be worth the price.

Therefore, the only ones who have been hurt by public opinion are "The Legend of the Gods" and "The Trick Expert". Although Huayi is a big company and a giant, their reputation is indeed not very good in the hearts of movie fans and audiences, so they will not choose their movies without blindly choosing them.

Xu Wenruo is just a newcomer who has just entered the industry and the probability of making a bad movie is very high. Because of this reason, many viewers who originally wanted to go to the cinema began to be discouraged, and this situation was immediately reflected in the box office of the movie.

Compared with the previous day, the volume of "Talk Expert" has increased, but the box office has dropped instead of increasing, with only 170 million left in the box office, which is definitely not normal.

If it were not for the influence of the public opinion war, yesterday's box office should have reached more than 200 million, and the box office was reduced by 30 million for no reason. How could Xu Wenruo not be angry? It is really because people are sitting at home, and disaster comes from heaven.

Although the box office of the two movies rose against the wind and the box office of the two movies showed a downward trend after the public opinion war, Xu Wenruo understood that things were not that simple. The mastermind behind the public opinion war may not be the publisher of the first two movies, but Huayi.

Why do I say that? Because Xu Wenruo keenly noticed something. At the beginning, public opinion appeared in the topic of "The Legend of the Gods". The other three movies did not have any negative news, but just at noon yesterday, public opinion in the other three movies broke out instantly.

These clues show one thing. This public opinion war is absolutely inseparable from Huayi. After discovering these, Xu Wenruo immediately found Mr. Wang and Qi Yue at the door. After telling them the current situation, he ordered the public relations department responsible for publicity to take action immediately, find evidence online, and maintain the positive image of the movie.

Hearing Xu Wenruo say this, Mr. Wang's smile on his face became a little stiff. He has been busy with the celebration banquet these two days and has not cared about the online public opinion at all. And no one in the company reported to him. Mr. Wang has never understood the situation.

This is definitely a serious mistake, and this is not the first mistake of Starxun Pictures. When discussing screening with theaters before the release, Starxun Pictures made a mistake, resulting in a much smaller number of screenings in the early stages of the movie.

Now that such public opinion has emerged online, as a company executive, he has no idea. As a professional film and television company, these operations seem a bit amateur.

In fact, Mr. Wang knew why this was the first time they logged into the New Year holiday, so the entire company only had one day off, and the whole company had already started to complain. Even if there were year-end bonuses and overtime pay, it still could not resist the complaints of the employees.

After all, Xingxun Pictures is not like Fengqi Studio. It is completely Xu Wenruo's one-man show. You can send a big red envelope to employees if you have a disagreement. As a big company, there are regulations on how much bonuses are paid, so the staff of Xingxun Pictures are not very excited to go to work.

Many people are working passively. If their superiors do not arrange tasks, many people choose to stumble and do not care about work at all. In the past two days, the company has been busy with celebration banquets, and no one is watching the outside world's public opinion at all.

When Xu Wenruo told this situation, Mr. Wang's face no longer had the same glory as before. He immediately contacted the public relations department and asked them to start working immediately.

At the same time, Mr. Wang also had some thoughts in his mind. Although this New Year holiday was very successful, it also exposed many problems. Although they were the biggest winners of the New Year holiday, all of this was Xu Wenruo's credit. If it weren't for the excellent quality of the movies Xu Wenruo made, Xingxun Pictures would not have the current glorious scenes.

Even to a certain extent, Xingxun Pictures has dragged Xu Wenruo down. If several large distribution companies in the industry are responsible for the promotion and distribution of the movie, "Talk Expert" may have exceeded 2 billion in the first week, and the final box office may have exceeded 3 billion.

It can be said that Xingxun Pictures did delay this movie and Xu Wenruo. Fortunately, Xu Wenruo has maintained a good relationship with Xingxun Group, which will not affect their future cooperation. If there were no normal partners, I would probably have been cheated like this once and I would never choose to cooperate with Xingxun Pictures next time.
