Chapter 451 Naval Trouble
"Holy crap, am I seeing things? Professor Liu actually praised this movie?"
"This video definitely wasn't posted by Teacher Liu. How could Teacher Liu possibly praise such a low-budget film?"
"Could it be that Teacher Liu took money?"
"Impossible! Teacher Liu is known for his fairness; he would never accept money!"
"What happened? Why did Teacher Liu suddenly change her personality?"
……
Netizens were buzzing with discussion, unable to believe their eyes.
It's worth noting that Lau Kin-ming is known for his sharp tongue; almost all the movies he reviewed were thoroughly criticized.
This was the first time he had ever praised a movie so highly!
Is this movie really that good?
In a short time, many bloggers emerged online and began to comment on Chen Le's "A Chinese Odyssey".
They all started out chasing the trend, thinking they'd release a video to ride the wave of popularity, but after watching the movie, the videos they posted the next day were all unanimously positive.
Netizens were stunned.
"Holy crap, did they buy advertising for this movie?"
"So many bloggers are praising it, it must be paid advertising!"
"Hehe, I knew it, this movie is definitely not that simple."
"Chen Le, you've really disappointed me!"
……
Netizens are discussing the matter extensively, with many believing that Chen Le hired online trolls.
However, netizens misunderstood Chen Le; Chen Le did not buy any traffic.
These bloggers genuinely think this movie is great.
Not to mention netizens, even Chen Le himself was shocked by the overwhelming praise.
He couldn't help but call Lin Tianxiong and ask:
"You secretly bought traffic without my knowledge?"
"What?"
Lin Tianxiong was clearly still out of the loop.
"never mind……"
Chen Le put down his phone, roughly guessing that this matter had nothing to do with Lin Tianxiong.
Lin Tianxiong opened his phone, somewhat bewildered.
The next moment, a beautiful rendition of a traditional Chinese opera melody emanated from the room!
at the same time.
Topics about "Journey to the East" are trending on various platforms.
"The most underrated film!"
"Chen Le has proven himself once again; A Chinese Odyssey is an absolute classic!"
"After watching A Chinese Odyssey, I feel like I believe in love again!"
……
As the topic gained traction, many netizens couldn't sit still any longer.
They weren't initially interested in the movie, but seeing so many people praising it has made them eager to see just how good it is.
As a result, more and more netizens went to the cinema to watch the movie.
And the box office of A Chinese Odyssey began to skyrocket at a visible speed!
Initially, A Chinese Odyssey's box office was not high, only a few million per day.
However, as word-of-mouth spread, box office revenue began to grow exponentially!
……
In just one day, the box office of A Chinese Odyssey broke records!
This result has far exceeded Chen Le's expectations.
As more and more netizens went to the cinema with the mindset of exposing the fakes, the popularity of A Chinese Odyssey on various platforms has soared!
It even began to surpass the Legend of Immortal Sealing at one point!
Zheng Tianming's face turned green when he saw this.
He originally thought that his film was a sure thing, but he didn't expect that a dark horse would suddenly appear and be overtaken by Chen Le's low-budget film!
That's impossible.
Chen Le's movie, at best, only had Zhu Xinxin as a character that garnered some attention.
Its own legend of immortality not only features a large cast of big-name actors, but most importantly, it boasts an extremely expensive special effects team.
Are audiences these days so tasteless?
Zheng Tianming did not reflect on his own problems at all; he thought that the audience nowadays just didn't know how to appreciate things.
Looking at the current situation online, he felt completely overwhelmed.
You should know that "The Legend of Fengxian" is the debut work of Xiang Xiatian, the young master of the Xiang family. If it gets bad reviews, Xiang Tianqiang and the Xiang family will be in big trouble!
The Xiang family is a very famous family in Hong Kong, with connections not only in the film and television industry but also in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.
Xiang Xiatian, the young master of the Xiang family, was spoiled by his family since childhood. If he knew that his movie was outshone by Chen Le, wouldn't he throw a tantrum?
The thought of Xiang Xiatian's temper and the Xiang family's power sent a chill down Zheng Tianming's spine.
He quickly took out his phone and called Xiang Xiatian.
"Young Master Xiang, have you seen what's going on online?"
Zheng Tianming asked cautiously.
"I saw it, how could this be?"
Xiang Xiatian's voice sounded somewhat displeased, clearly indicating that she was also dissatisfied with the current situation.
"I don't know either. Chen Le's movie didn't have any big-name actors and wasn't promoted much, so how did it suddenly become a hit?"
Zheng Tianming said with a bitter expression.
"I don't care about any of that, all I know is that my film can't be outdone!"
He spoke to Xia Tian in a firm tone.
"You need to think of a way to boost the box office right now!"
"Yes, yes, I'll go and think of a solution right away..."
Zheng Tianming hurriedly agreed, but his heart was filled with bitterness.
He also wants to increase box office revenue, but the current situation is beyond his control.
Zheng Tianming thought and thought but couldn't come up with a good solution, so he had to resort to the old method.
He started hiring a large number of online trolls to attack Chen Le's movies.
Soon, Chen Le's reputation changed once again after his "Great Talk Eastward Tour".
"Chen Le's movies are getting more and more boring. They're all about love and romance, and they can't even leave China, let alone go international!"
"Exactly! Chen Lejiang has run out of ideas; this movie is simply not good!"
"Director Zheng's 'Legend of the Immortal' is still the best; that's a true blockbuster!"
"That's right, The Legend of Immortal Sealing is the first epic film in the Dragon Kingdom, and it bears the important responsibility of promoting the culture of the Dragon Kingdom. If you don't watch it, you're just a Western worshipper!"
……
These comments immediately caused an uproar online.
Chen Le didn't care. At this moment, he had already taken Su Xixin and her daughter to start a rare holiday.
Speaking of which, Angelica dahurica was also traveling with us.
Although Bai Zhi was on vacation, she didn't know much about the mainland, so she decided to come with Chen Le and the others.
He could also continue to act as a bodyguard for Chen Le's family.
Of course, Chen Le wouldn't withhold his salary; he not only increased it but also paid him three times the normal rate.
However, the online sentiment is not entirely negative towards Chen Le.
Besides the online trolls and uninformed members of the public, many netizens also offered their rebuttals.
"Don't you people understand? A Chinese Odyssey is clearly a great show!"
"Exactly! Chen Le's movies have always been very profound; you guys just can't understand them!"
"What's so great about the Legend of Immortals? The plot is terrible, the special effects are alright, but they barely appear!"
……
But clearly, these voices couldn't get through.
Under the overwhelming naval offensive, it was quickly submerged.
