Chapter 376 Counterattack
With nothing else to do, Chen Le decided to turn on his phone. Although he knew Zheng Tianming had changed his strategy yesterday, Chen Le hadn't looked into it closely at the time. Now that he finally had some free time, he figured he might as well see what new gadgets Zheng Tianming had come up with this time.
As the logo of Zhenghe Films appears, the next moment, a movie scene appears.
It's the same old routine.
Zheng Tianming understood his strengths very well, and he immediately launched into a series of grand events!
However, it doesn't look much different from the previous promotional video, and some scenes are even directly copied from the previous one.
The Xiang family is truly wealthy and powerful.
An investment of over a billion yuan is probably enough to hire the industry's top special effects team.
Perhaps the special effects will be even more amazing when the movie is officially released. It seems that Zheng Tianming is going to play a really big game this time.
Upon seeing this, a rare seriousness appeared on Chen Le's face.
If Zheng Tianming decides to focus on improving the quality of his films, Chen Le's situation will be precarious.
After all, in terms of cost, A Chinese Odyssey doesn't have the large-scale epic visuals of Legend of the Immortals, nor does it have a large number of stars. Unless it completely crushes the Legend of the Immortals in terms of script quality, Chen Le can't imagine how A Chinese Odyssey can surpass Legend of the Immortals.
Just then, the screen suddenly froze, the previously exciting scene vanished instantly, and the next moment, one A-list celebrity after another appeared.
Chen Le scrolled down the progress bar at the bottom.
Of the 21-minute promotional video, only one and a half minutes are about the movie. Is the rest just celebrities offering their congratulations?
Chen Le endured his impatience and finally watched the promotional video end. Apart from the smiling faces of the celebrities, there was almost no actual movie content on the screen.
Seeing this, Chen Le's lips curled into a sarcastic smile.
It's really 'full of sincerity'; the essence of the whole film is in these twenty minutes of celebrity faces.
It seems Zheng Tianming is still using the same old tricks, nothing has changed!
Su Xi also heard Chen Le's voice. She gently raised her head and looked at Chen Le with sleepy eyes.
"What good news is it?"
"nothing,"
Chen Le didn't say much, but simply reached out and gently comforted Su Xi beside him.
"Go on to sleep."
Su Xi felt exhausted. She leaned closer to Chen Le and suddenly noticed the contents of the phone.
A Chinese Odyssey... Isn't this a movie by Chen Le?
She reached out and gently clicked on the video.
As Su Xi watched the video, her eyes became more alert.
"Isn't this your movie?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Le also came over, and after seeing the video content, his eyes narrowed.
"Is this... film critic Lao Zhou?"
Old Zhou is quite famous in the industry. His comments on movies are always sharp and insightful. I never expected that he would comment on his own movie this time.
Old Zhou's initial comments were fairly normal, offering some critiques of Chen Le's promotional video. However, what followed was the most controversial scene in Chen Le's promotional video.
Old Zhou looked completely confident.
"Everyone, look closely! This glance back, although at first glance it looks like Zhu Xinxin, if you look closely, her eyes and her temperament are completely different from Zhu Xinxin!"
"I, Lao Zhou, have been in this industry for so many years, I have a good eye for this. This is definitely not Zhu Xinxin!"
Old Zhou became more and more excited as he spoke, and even started banging on the table.
Looking at Old Zhou's indignant expression, Chen Le roughly understood what he was about to say.
Old Zhou's next words confirmed his premonition.
"Chen Le's behavior is simply deceiving the audience and our feelings! Does he think we can't see through it? How naive!"
After finishing his sentence, Old Zhou let out a heavy snort to express his dissatisfaction.
On the screen, Old Zhou looked furious, but his eyes behind his glasses gleamed with determination.
"If the woman in the video is really Zhu Xinxin, I'll eat this phone and give away 100,000 yuan in cash to my fans!"
His voice was firm and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
The moment these words were spoken, the live chat exploded!
"Holy crap, Old Zhou is serious!"
"Hahaha, Old Zhou is determined to fight Chen Le to the death!"
"I support Lao Zhou. I've long been fed up with this false advertising!"
Su Xi frowned slightly as she looked at the comments on the screen. She glanced at Chen Le and noticed that Chen Le's expression was also not very good.
"Chen Le, this..."
Su Xi's finger swiped quickly across the screen and found another movie review video.
After clicking, a face that Chen Le was not familiar with appeared on the screen, but Chen Le recognized him as another film critic known in the industry for his sharp tongue.
"Look at this look back, everyone. Doesn't something seem off? That's right, this isn't Zhu Xinxin at all!"
His fingers pointed across the screen, his eyes filled with certainty.
Su Xi also realized something was wrong. Using the same rhetoric as Lao Zhou, the briefest detail—the glance back—became the focus of their explanation.
"This……"
"Do you know anything?"
Su Xi raised her head and looked at Chen Le, her voice tinged with doubt.
Chen Le laughed.
"You'll have to ask Zheng Tianming about that."
Su Xi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
"You mean to say that all this content is from online trolls hired by Zheng Tianming?"
No wonder these film critics all say similar things and are fixated on that one look back; it turns out someone is manipulating things behind the scenes!
Chen Le did not answer, but simply nodded slightly, which was considered as confirmation of Su Xi's guess.
Su Xi gasped.
"Zheng Tianming has really gone all out!"
"He probably just realized that doing this was just giving me free publicity."
Chen Le smiled confidently. He glanced at the posting times of those videos. They had been posted for several days, but Su Xi noticed them because they were still very popular and on the front page of various platforms.
Su Xi looked at Chen Le, her eyes filled with confusion.
"You already knew?"
Chen Le didn't seem surprised at all, even a little too calm. Wasn't he worried about his movie at all?
Chen Le didn't answer, but simply pressed the lock screen button and turned off the phone.
"I'm a little hungry,"
He looked at Su Xi, a smile playing on his lips.
"Honey, go make me something to eat, I'm hungry."
Su Xi felt helpless, but she knew Chen Le must have a plan in mind, so she got up to put on her clothes, but...
Seeing her clothes scattered haphazardly throughout the house, Su Xi was somewhat puzzled...
last night……
what happened……
Although Su Xi was still a little dazed, she got up and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Chen Le.
Chen Le then picked up his phone and sent a message to Lin Tianxiong.
"Release the second promotional video."
