Chapter 908: Coming From Behind?

Facts have proved that there is a reason why Wen Yuqi is so confident. His combination of punches successfully raised the popularity of "The Scale Man" to an unexpected level in a short period of time.

From the videos of "passers-by" to the contributions of well-known editing up masters, the fans of "Not Gray" were unaware of the arrangements of the upper level, but they responded quickly and spontaneously produced more content. The traffic brought by these contents attracted self-media in other fields to follow suit and chase hot topics. The amount of discussion about "The Scale Man" has been growing like a snowball.

Once the wind direction rises, Wen Yuqi does not need to spend much effort at all. He only needs to properly control the direction of public opinion and guide it, and he can reap the results.

The masses have a rebellious mentality. "FROZEN" is indeed popular all over the Internet, but more people are paying attention to and discussing it, which will also make some people feel annoyed.

As Qin Jue and Qingqing said, this group of people do not hate "FROZEN" itself, but they are very disgusted with these repeated messages that are suddenly everywhere, and feel that their original lives have been invaded.

In addition, the atmosphere of "not paying attention to "Frozen" and not listening to "Let It Go" will be considered out of date by others" will also cause them discomfort, and they wish that information related to "FROZEN" and the blue team will leave their world as soon as possible.

Wen Yuqi is well aware of this mentality, and deliberately created the visual sense that "The Scale Man" is covered in dust and "it's a pity that a niche work is not popular yet", plus the "not gray" BGM really matches the video screen. Before he could do anything, the online call for "The Scale Man" to be the "light of domestic blockbusters" became louder and louder.

Fang Youwen also released a new movie poster, which was selected from a scene in the easter egg. Rui stood on the cloud platform surrounded by fairy air, and the giant dragon was hovering, with the dragon head hanging down. Rui stretched out his hand to gently stroke the dragon's mouth. The small diamond-shaped scale on the side of his face invisibly showed the extraordinary relationship between this character and the Eastern Dragon.

Originally, Fang Youwen was reluctant to let the last scene appear publicly, feeling that it was too spoiler, but Wen Yuqi persuaded him very strongly.

As expected, as soon as the poster came out, more and more voices such as "The Scale Man is the correct way to open it internationally!", "The Dragon Country-style heroic special effects blockbuster has stood up!", "The national pride is overflowing", "It is recommended to be selected as the annual national cultural export key project" and so on were raised layer by layer, and the result completely proved the correctness of Wen Yuqi's marketing strategy.

The reality is here, Fang Youwen had to swallow this breath with mixed feelings, admitting that artists like him are not as good as the more professional Wen Yuqi in publicity.

"Relax, it's not bad to have someone actively working for us." Yuan Xiao comforted him.

"...That's right." Fang Youwen muttered.

"By the way, how is our box office?"

When it comes to this, Fang Youwen had to let out a breath and said with a little excitement:

"The momentum is very strong, and the sales of peripherals are also rising sharply."

Yuan Xiao looked at Fang Youwen and said nothing.

Fang Youwen: "... The money I get is enough for me to make my next movie."

Yuan Xiao: "Okay!"

He smiled and hugged Fang Youwen: "Big director, why are you pretending? Isn't it good to have funding?"

Fang Youwen coughed twice: "Reserved, reserved as a cultured person..."

Wen Yuqi has a strong style, and Fang Youwen is also a tough guy. It's a bit embarrassing for him to bow to the "financial sponsor", and it's normal to feel unhappy.

But it's true that he really has money now...

Money is not omnipotent, but it can solve most problems.

At least, it can allow Fang Youwen to have enough say and room for operation when shooting the next movie, without having to make too many compromises that affect the quality of the film in order to please investors and producers.

Qin Jue's investigation and judgment of people are really accurate. Although Wen Yuqi is strong, he did not suppress the interests of Fang Youwen and the Red Group, and everyone made a profit.

Now, people who follow the "Ice and Fire War" and count the commercial revenue of the red and blue groups have posted statistical charts. It can be clearly seen from the chart that the performance of the red group is soaring wildly. According to the current trend, it seems that it can really catch up with the blue group in the last two days.

Come from behind?

No. Someone has realized that the red group is overwhelming the blue group. Isn't this what everyone predicted at the beginning?

How come it's now the other way around, the red group is desperately chasing the blue group and struggling to turn the tables?

"Fuck, I suddenly realized that the blue group is so scary. They are actually the dark horse." Netizens are still scared.

"Indeed, when the seventh round of grouping was just announced, no one was optimistic about the blue group. Unexpectedly, the work was released and it killed the red group..."

"It's not easy for the red group to catch up. The sales of the blue group's peripherals are quite scary."

"But the blue group doesn't have many new things. They rehearse every day, and it's not easy for the actors to go out for promotion. The red group has completely jumped up recently because of the brilliant soundtrack. If Fang Youwen is not stupid, he will definitely find that singer to cooperate. This is another new wave of actions."

"Singer? Isn't it a girl group?"

"Oh, right."

"I don't remember the name, but the song is really good. I watched the live video. The open microphone is awesome. It makes me want to go to the scene."

"Go! Free performances are free of charge, and there are performances every day."

"Wow, really?"

"Really, it's just right to watch "Scale Man" and then come out to watch the concert. It's exciting."

As discussed online, more and more audiences from other places come to Shanghai.

Some people were attracted by the "new naked-eye 3D blockbuster movie" launched by Wen Yuqi, while others felt that now that there is a "Not Gray" concert, they have watched the movie and the performance, and they feel that it is very profitable.

It has to be said that open-air performances are very attractive. When celebrities go on tour, fans often buy air tickets to follow them from beginning to end. Now, although "Not Ash" is not a big hit yet, their performances are completely free. , people who are not in Shanghai only need to pay travel and accommodation fees to come to watch the performance, and they feel that they are getting a bargain.

After watching the performance, this group of people had the illusion of "making a lot of money", and some even felt a little sorry, thinking that such a high-quality performance should charge more or less for admission.

There are gradually more and more comments like "Can I really watch a performance of this level for free?", and more and more "Not Gray" fans are educating passers-by online and in comments.

"Huh? I've never been interested in idol stages and talent shows, so why do you do such outrageous things?!"

"No, this kind of talent can only be performed on the streets after being shady, but the talent show group that can't even dance is directly packaged and debuted? What are the program crew thinking???"

"I'm just a passerby, I've never chased stars, but when I went to the scene, I was really impressed by the temperament and stage charm of the four girls. I really beg you, can the entertainment industry open your eyes and see the powerful people... "

"Isn't it rumored that Director Fang is looking for a sister group to cooperate? Why hasn't there been an official announcement yet?"

"After learning about it, I was so angry. Not only was I angry with a certain talent show team, but I was also angry with Yangliu Entertainment. The group of senior sisters with this level of strength are all wild, what kind of stepmothers are they? If our fourth sister hadn't been so good at fighting, we would have directly joined "Scale Man" If we join forces, we don’t know where we will be buried. Can we really rely on you two brothers to raise us together?”

"Well, let me just say something weak. Senior sisters and junior brothers are very close to each other. Don't quarrel. Don't quarrel... In the past few days, the junior team has been secretly cueing ISCA in Shanghai. The children can't make the final decision regarding the company's senior management. …”

"Yes, yes, I don't mean to accuse. Don't be too angry, passerby. #HandsHandsHandsHands, I am a fan of the Junior Brothers Group. I have also gone to ISCA to support the sisters in the past few days. The two groups are very close in private. We are also looking forward to the Senior Sisters Group." Develop quickly.”

"Ugh, so when is the official announcement... Director Fang, take a look at our group!"

"Not only the fans are waiting, but we fans of "Scale Man" are also waiting for us # Thumb # Thumb. It's really magical. We accidentally bumped into each other due to fate. I hope both parties can achieve each other's success!"

"Uh-huh, no one really thinks that a certain group is trying to take advantage of them? They suddenly showed up outside Ruixin Cinema to perform. I can't say."

"...There is no need to be so conspiracy-minded. The Senior Sister Troupe has been performing in Shanghai for a long time. They were performing on the road before "Scale Man" was released. They traveled to several places across districts every day, and Ruixin Cinema was just one of them. It’s the same now (to this day).”

"Yes, one of our fans asked me this question about how to choose the venue for the performance. The answer is very simple. It's hard to find free public stages. We can perform wherever we can get a place... We really don't have a stage. …… # kneel to the ground # kneel to the ground # kneel to the ground”

"+1, once the stage was occupied by another band, Team Qi saw that all the fans had arrived and didn't move around. In the end, they led us a little further and performed for everyone on a random flat ground for two hours."

"Ah, that time... I remember that because there was no place to plug in the power, I didn't use the microphone I brought with me. I was afraid that the subwoofer would cover the sound with the accompaniment, so they just sang the whole time..."

"I remember that time!!! #crying. After the performance, the sisters bowed and apologized many times, saying that it affected everyone's viewing experience. Help, I really cried. My best friend and I kept crying on the way back."

"So what exactly is Yangliu Entertainment doing!!! #红豆 Fury"

Inside the office.

Zhai Ru stopped typing on the keyboard and moving the mouse, saved the form, and sent it to Wen Yuqi's mailbox. Then she clicked on the work-specific Feixin and entered the private chat window.

[Zhai Ru]: Mr. Wen, now there are strong calls for the linkage between "Scale Man" and UNGREY on all platforms.

[Zhai Ru]: The box office of "Scale Man" continues to rise. UNGREY's English songs have effectively attracted a large number of international audiences, and the public opinion has a metaphysical color such as fate that is popular with the public. It is foreseeable that once the official cooperation is reached, it will have a positive impact on our current projects. Progress goes a long way.

[Zhai Ru]: It’s just that UNGREY is “refrigerated” in the entertainment industry. It has many potential interests and risks...

[Zhai Ru]: I have sent the relevant risk plan to your email.

After Zhai Ru typed the last line of the message, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Wen Yuqi's decision that night was too quick. It can be said that he single-handedly brought about today's "trend" with his excellent observation and judgment. However, when things came to an emergency, they did not do enough to target the girl group "Not Gray" at that time. investigation.

Nowadays, the buzz around the Internet is getting louder, and the experience of "not being gray" has also surfaced.

Zhai Ru is a businesswoman. She will not and should not follow public opinion and defend "Not Gray". After she collected and sorted out the exact information, her first consideration was to cooperate with "Not Gray" to bring benefits to herself. risks of.

After all, according to the current situation, "Not Gray" is simply filled with hatred. There are countless pairs of eyes staring at them underwater, determined not to let them stand out.

If after the cooperation, this hot potato gets to her side, and she attracts many enemies for no reason, it will be more trouble than gain.

Zhai Ru couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis, but she knew that her job was to provide information rather than make decisions, so she just waited for Wen Yuqi's instructions.

Not long after, the door of the office next door opened. Zhai Ru's ears were already erected, and she immediately stood up from her workstation.

"We will have a meeting in two hours." Sure enough, Wen Yuqi said it firmly.

"Okay." Zhai Ru nodded.

She immediately picked up her mobile phone to send a group email, and during the period, she couldn't help but raise her head slightly to look at Wen Yuqi's expression.

"Mr. Wen..."

Out of curiosity, Zhai Ru tentatively started. She knew that Wen Yuqi would not care about this "offense".

Wen Yuqi smiled and really didn't care, and calmly uttered five words.

"Wealth and honor are sought in danger."

Zhai Ru immediately straightened her expression: "I understand."

...

Soon, a group of workers carried equipment to the open-air stage not far from Ruixin Cinema.

They worked uprightly, and passers-by were curious. It was not until the group left that they had an epiphany, and they were overjoyed and took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

x-on:Live loyal fans: Good news! The stage where the girl group whose name is not convenient to mention often goes has installed a large screen today! [Location: ISCA Ruixin Cinema]

At the same time, Fang Youwen, Yuan Xiao, Liu Huajun, Wen Yuqi and "Not Gray" sat around the table in a highly confidential conference room.

Fang Youwen's face had a little bit of subtle weirdness, and Yuan Xiao knew that he felt subtly uncomfortable with Wen Yuqi's decision over him. But at the same time, the excellent strength of "Not Gray" and their songs are perfectly compatible with "Scale Man", which Fang Youwen recognized wholeheartedly.

Therefore, he fully approved of Wen Yuqi's proposal and this cooperation, and his personal emotions could be completely put aside.

"Mr. Wen, we are currently in "Not Gray"..."

Glancing at the girls who sat quietly, looked serious and neither humble nor arrogant, Liu Huajun took the initiative to speak and described the current situation of "Not Gray" and the risks it might face.

Her tone was very tactful, and those who understood would understand, but her attitude of saying ugly things in advance was very straightforward, and Wen Yuqi liked such a partner.

Slowly scanning the circle, Wen Yuqi showed a confident smile.

"The situation is reasonable, the strength is superior, and the public opinion momentum is very good."

He said slowly, "UNGREY and the Red Group have similar experiences of being unappreciated. They just happened to bump into each other, which is undoubtedly a match made in heaven."

This was said cleverly, and Liu Huajun, Fang Youwen and Xing Yufei all understood what Wen Yuqi meant.

As long as you are willing to dig, package more, and guide more, "Not Gray" and "Scale Man" do have many similarities. Everyone has strength but has not been able to get enough stage to show it for various reasons. It can be called "another me in the world."

And such two parties meet each other by chance and reach cooperation, which is simply the plot that the public is most happy to see. Anyone who eats this entertainment gossip will not be able to help but sigh that it is really fate, and public opinion is almost all favorable.

Wen Yuqi launched several printed contracts, without selling any suspense, and went straight to the point:

"Everyone, I am confident enough to make the four words 'mutual achievement' come true soon!"

4200+

Wen Yuqi now: Ha, my masterstroke, the red team will definitely turn the tables! I want to see what the blue team and Qin Jue can do to fight me!

Wen Yuqi who knows in the future that "Not Gray" is Qin Jue's student:

Damn.
