PNB Chapter 38 Scandal
Chapter 38 Scandal
When Wang Xiaohao and other key members of the production team went to the first roadshow, the audience's enthusiasm exceeded everyone's expectations!
Many people shouted the names of Wang Xiaoshuang and Lin Baoquan from the movie, and some even excitedly tried to rush over.
At that moment, everyone intuitively felt that this movie was going to be a hit!
In fact, by this time, the Internet was already quite advanced.
On the first day of the film's release, reviews praising the movie began to appear one after another.
It was precisely because of this high reputation that the film's box office revenue began to climb rapidly from the third day onwards.
Most people think it's a very funny and touching movie.
The female lead's various domineering rules for bullying the male lead are quite amusing.
In real life, some female viewers have even started to imitate scenes from the movie and force their boyfriends to wear their high heels!
The female lead's beauty also won the hearts of many male viewers!
Regardless of Wang Xiaoshuang's personality, her appearance does indeed conform to the aesthetic standards of most male viewers, especially straight men.
She was able to be discovered from an ordinary person, start filming idol dramas and quickly become popular, all thanks to her pure and innocent looks, which are rare in the Chinese entertainment industry.
She has delicate features, an oval face, long flowing hair, and a slender figure. She's the epitome of an innocent, delicate beauty!
She plays various school beauty roles so convincingly and naturally that she comes across as a perfect fit!
If it weren't for the fact that Wang Xiaoshuang has been plagued by scandals and caused all sorts of trouble since her debut, she wouldn't have been able to avoid such issues.
Otherwise, she would definitely have a title like "Hupu Goddess"!
The female lead played by Wang Xiaoshuang now has a significantly reduced aggressiveness compared to the typical domineering female lead.
This is exactly what they mean by "values following physical appearance"!
This character's appearance is completely different from the original female lead's pure and refined beauty, yet it achieves the same effect.
In addition, many members of Wang Xiaohao's crew come from backgrounds in filming romance dramas, and some even come from filming wedding dramas.
They have one thing in common: they may be average in other aspects, but they always manage to make the characters in the drama look beautiful!
Most of the time, the film has the feel of a gay porn movie.
To make the male and female leads' looks... especially the female lead's looks, stand out even more!
Then, the plot was interesting, the female lead was beautiful, and it was a romantic comedy suitable for men, women, young and old, so the box office exploded immediately!
It was at this time that the film began to be attacked!
In fact, the movie was already being targeted by snipers on its seventh day of release.
Reports criticizing the movie "My Sassy Girl" have started appearing online and in some media outlets.
However, because the production company of this movie was a makeshift operation, no one was constantly monitoring the negative information circulating online.
As a result, it wasn't until the ninth day, when the scandal broke out, that everyone discovered it!
A large amount of negative information about Wang Xiaoshuang has begun to resurface online.
He acted arrogantly on set, swearing and even physically assaulting people. He acted erratically on variety shows, repeatedly feuding with senior female artists…
Many of the scandals involving female celebrities are actually fabricated rumors.
But this woman is different; most of her scandals are supported by photographic evidence!
Wang Xiaohao could understand this. Wang Xiaoshuang was only a vocational school graduate and had the personality of a typical young, edgy woman.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have started dating the original owner at such a young age.
She was just lucky. She was too beautiful and was discovered by a talent scout on the street. She participated in the internal talent show of Cangnan TV, and then filmed a low-budget idol drama. She became an instant sensation!
This woman wasn't exactly known for her refined manners or cultured personality. She wasn't much different from most of the "street punks" you see!
In addition, the pressure of fame can be too great, leading to mood swings, or there may be medication-related issues that cause a lot of trouble, which is perfectly normal!
However, this has now affected the film's box office.
This is not a question of whether Wang Xiaohao can understand it or not.
It is affecting other people's ability to make real money.
It even affected the future prospects of other people in the crew!
For a time, Wang Xiaoshuang was indeed being looked at with suspicion by people in the film crew.
This put a lot of pressure on Wang Xiaoshuang, and she and Huang Anzhong often argued behind closed doors!
This is often how things are: when things are going smoothly, a motley crew can barely cooperate, but once they encounter setbacks, all sorts of conflicts begin to erupt!
Clearly, there must be a deep conflict of interest between Wang Xiaoshuang and Huang Anzhong.
Don't think that just because Wang Xiaoshuang was made famous by Huang Anzhong, she should be treated this way or that!
In fact, it was precisely because Wang Xiaoshuang became famous that she had the qualifications to rival Huang Anzhong.
The relationship between the two changed from one of dependence on Wang Xiaoshuang to one of mutual cooperation!
Take this investment effort as an example. Without Wang Xiaoshuang, a star in the film and television industry, getting investment wouldn't have been so easy, even with Huang Anzhong's connections!
Now that the film has encountered setbacks, and Wang Xiaoshuang's emotions are not very stable, she naturally lashed out at Huang Anzhong!
Wang Xiaohao was actually mentally prepared for this!
As soon as a movie becomes popular, someone will immediately try to sabotage it.
Even if you don't even mention movies, if you write online novels, as long as your online novels are trending towards popularity, you will immediately attract a large number of haters.
Some of the haters are trolls, but most of the negativity comes from fellow industry professionals!
Therefore, Wang Xiaohao was mentally prepared for his film to be attacked!
There's nothing we can do; the market is just that big.
Although at this point, the Lunar New Year film season can already accommodate several films competing with each other.
But with so many box office markets, if you take a bigger bite, I'll take a smaller bite.
Therefore, whenever a movie is released, all sorts of hype and attacks will erupt.
In particular, the production company behind Wang Xiaohao's film was too small and its resources too weak.
At first, it didn't attract any attention.
However, as "My Sassy Girl" began to gain momentum at the box office, various attacks came one after another.
What is the best way to undermine a movie's box office?
That would certainly mean targeting the film's creators, especially the male and female leads and the director.
Unfortunately, Wang Xiaoshuang had a lot of scandals, which immediately became a hot topic in the media and online.
Moreover, this time, it wasn't just one company that made the move.
Instead, several companies that were releasing films at the same time worked together behind the scenes, leaving Wang Xiaohao's side with no chance to fight back.
Originally, Huang Anzhong could have relied on his connections to obtain some new publicity resources from Cangnan TV.
However, Cangnan Terrace was not owned by Huang Anzhong alone.
At this time, his rivals also jumped out and kicked Huang Anzhong when he was down, directly blocking the resources that Huang Anzhong could use.
This has left the production company with no way to clear its name!
So on the ninth day, the box office results came out: 36.59 million.
It may not seem like it has fallen much, but this is already a rather dangerous sign!
