China Entertainment's performance is king

Chapter 1204 Don’t Let Him Lose (Long Chapter)
As soon as the song "Lone Brave Man" was released, Shen Lang directly became a hot topic. It is so easy for my brother Lang to be on the hot search list without spending any money now.

What's more, he shamelessly used points. This was the most points he had used for a song so far, a full 100 million.

Most of the responses are incomprehension and ridicule. You can either accept the reality and play dead because the movie box office is too bad.

In fact, more than 7 million is very good, especially with this schedule, but Shen Lang’s aura is too strong. Now everyone is mocking him because everyone has discovered that Shen Lang’s peak moment has passed.

If he had not encountered these things, his movie would have definitely grossed over 100 million yuan on the first day of its release, and would have already established a good reputation.

But nowadays, there are only 7 million. People in the industry know that this is due to the scheduling and other factors, but for passers-by who pay a little attention but watch the majority of movies, this is a failure.

People will definitely think, this movie must be bad, otherwise why is the box office so low, or, this actor is really bad, others don’t go to see it, why should I waste my money.

People tend to follow trends, and if the popularity increases, the box office will go up. However, if the popularity increases but in the opposite direction, then it’s different.

Nowadays, Shen Lang's popularity is the opposite. Many people are silent. Everyone is afraid that if others know that I went to see a movie, they would say that I empathized with a scumbag. This would not be good.

All I can say is that there is no cure for this habit of following the crowd, and someone has to start it.

At this moment, people in the circle have also noticed Shen Lang's reputation, so they naturally work harder. In fact, even if it's only 7 million, everyone knows that he is very strong. If the release date is changed and the screening schedule is kept up, maybe it would be 30 or 40 million.

It can only be said that Shen Lang's stubbornness this time covered up himself. How could he offend Wanda? You can offend it, and it's okay in private, but if you tear off the cloth in front of them, Wanda will have no choice but to pretend not to see it.

Nowadays, if you release a song for no reason, isn't this just material for everyone to ridicule? Many people think that Shen Lang is just acting on impulse. Why couldn't you release the song earlier? What's the point of releasing it on the same day?

It's really useful. Shen Lang doesn't want to be ridiculed too much. If it was sent a few days ago, it would take a long time to prove himself. Now, it would take a week at most. He doesn't believe that the system will not work in a week.

As soon as he posted this song, people listened to it immediately. You know what, looking at the lyrics and listening to the melody, why does it feel like the rhythm is so strong and so childish? I love you walking alone in the dark alley.

Shen Lang was also wondering whether this song would help his movie. He was not sure, so he spent points to upload the song just to show off.

The song went online and quickly began to spread. After all, it cost 100 million points, so the effect was different.

The first place must be Shen Lang’s base camp, the major bars. It can be said that Shen Lang’s personality has collapsed, but his popularity in bars and nightclubs has increased instead of decreased.

This is also the reason why many people think he is not a good person. The nightclubs he is in are either "Girls" or "Mohe Ballroom", which also affects his fame. It is not a good thing to associate celebrities with nightclubs. Some people naturally think that you are not a good person.

Shen Lang himself feels that people who often go to bars and nightclubs are not good people, let alone ordinary people. He especially understands this, but there are some things he cannot handle. The more ex-girlfriends he exposes, the more beautiful they are, and they are female stars. Everyone admires him very much. He is a master at picking up girls.

However, how the song is spread has nothing to do with Shen Lang. He just needs to wait. The most urgent thing is to conserve his energy and go on the roadshow in the evening.

That's right, he was on the roadshow at night. The reason why his movie took up 47% of the screening time for "The Great Wall" and 25% for "The Wasted Time", the two movies occupied 72% of the screening time.

"Youth", which has been scheduled for release a long time ago, and "Hacksaw Ridge" and "Your Name", which still have strong box office performance, and other movies that have either just been released or have been released not long ago, have grabbed 9% of the screening time. This is simply because the screening times are mostly in the midnight shows that no one wants to go to.

Midnight shows are the worst time slot for a movie. There’s nothing we can do about it because there are also showtimes during the day, but if we only look at daytime shows, the number of showtimes might be less than 5%.

It's not that everyone is disrespectful to Shen Lang, it's just that he acted too suddenly. The screening schedule has been set and cannot be changed, so he will have to pay compensation.

……

After "The Lone Brave" was released, many people started to give in-depth analysis of the song. They had nothing to do anyway, so they said that Shen Lang was just popular.

Coming back to the point, the song "The Lone Brave Man" not only has a meaning similar to Shen Lang's state, but the lyrics are also very consistent with it, such as the doll.

"You don't have to hide the mistakes you made. I am Brother Lang and I am Brother Lang. I sang it openly in the song. Are you admitting it?"

"Come to think of it, I really think he's awesome now. He really admitted that he's in a relationship."

"How can you deny it? We are all hammering him."

"To be honest, I have to say a few words about this. Few of his exes criticized him. They all spoke up for him. The reason why things changed is that he has not responded."

"Isn't that cowardly?"

"Don't talk about that. Listen to the song. Didn't you notice that Shen Lang was declaring war? Your shabby doll, the doll is Sun Wukong, right? Why add shabby? Is there a metaphor?"

"No, it means that the doll made him a clown. They said that he had to bring light and tame every monster. This means that capital took action against him."

"Not only that, he seemed to be mocking. He felt that he was not wrong, but it was these people who mocked him who felt that he was wrong and wanted him to admit his mistakes. They said that he had to bring light and tame the monster. He cursed so many people this time."

"Oh my god, he's a scumbag. I can't say anything about him. It's not normal for him to be like this. Who would be like this? If he talks about love like this, what else can he be but a scumbag?"

"The people upstairs are excited. We are just accomplices in his songs. Your behavior echoes the next line. They say that you need to sew up your wounds. No one loves clowns. This is mocking us and trying to make him become like us."

"No, this should be a declaration of war on capital. I have observed the movie schedule and most people may not pay much attention to it, but in fact, he has indeed been targeted."

"Speaking of songs, he said that others should smooth out his edges. He is declaring war. Only imperfect people can be heroes. Who says people covered in mud are not heroes? Shen Lang is flattering himself."

"To be honest, I admire him a little bit. He is really tough."

"I love you walking alone in the dark alley, I love you without regrets, it fits the feeling I get from him fighting the whole world on his own, and he doesn't regret it. It makes me excited. He is really talented."

"Fight, fight, he really did it, no star is so tough."

"They say that to give up your madness is like wiping off dirt. They say that to climb up the stairs, the price is to bow your head. My brother Lang has written it all."

"Then I must not ride on the wind, nor borrow strength, but must move forward courageously on my own."

"Fight? Fight? Suddenly my blood is boiling."

"I suddenly felt like I was being scolded for no reason."

"The people upstairs are definitely joining in the action of scolding Shen Lang."

"Uh, don't think too much. Rather than cursing at others, he is comforting himself. The meaning of the lyrics of the song he sang should be to cheer himself up."

"Shen Lang is actually pretty good, at least when it comes to singing."

"Oh my god, guys, check it out, has Naza forwarded it?"

"As expected, they are good friends. Shen Lang has already torn his relationship with Wanda. Isn't Naza afraid of offending the capital?"

"Not really. Aren't many people promoting "Big Shot"?"

"That's courtesy, but Shen Lang's song now has too much connotation of declaring war, both about war and saying he won't regret it."

"I can only say that Naza is a good friend."

"Do you think she and Shen Lang are dating?"

"No, Shen Lang is already like this. If he really did date, he probably wouldn't hide it."

Everyone was discussing it, one after another, and analyzing Shen Lang's lyrics in depth. Shen Lang himself was not aware of so many thoughts.

He just felt that this song was particularly suitable for his situation, and he also wanted to pretend to be something big, but the effect of the points was too strong.

...

Gulina: "The song is very nice. To use a phrase you once said to me, I believe that when a person stands on tiptoe to get closer to the sun, nothing can block his light. You should do the same.

If you run slowly, all you hear are scoldings. If you run fast, all you hear is the sound of the wind. I hope you can fly.

You have always been the best. I hope that your basic character has always been sincerity, courage, and happiness. There are still edges and corners in you that have not been smoothed out by society.

Just keep going forward with pride, no matter success or failure, just try your best.

I really like this song "The Lone Warrior". I'm very happy that he has not changed and will rise against the wind. Maybe I am a little naive, but I don't want him to lose. Come on, Shen Lang."

The comment section under the Weibo post was directly occupied. They are indeed good brothers. I was afraid of being scolded so I closed the comment section, but now it is open again for a limited time.

"Oh my god, this kind of unconditional trust, why do I feel like, sister, your friendship won't turn into love, right?"

"No way, you've fallen too, aren't you friends?"

"Maybe they have been together for a long time, but they just haven't made it public."

"Nonsense! If it were public, I believe Shen Lang wouldn't hide it. He's already like this."

"Doesn't this prove that it's friendship? If something really happened, Gulina must be crazy to post this."

"Fuck, I'm a little stumped. I don't want him to lose."

"cowhide,"

“But I have to say, Gulina won’t offend the capital.”

"No, I just support her. To be honest, I admire her for speaking out, even though I hate Shen Lang, because no matter what, Shen Lang's "Sewing Machine Band" did help Na Zha a lot."

"Yes, this can be said to be a good person. It would be inappropriate for Naza not to speak out."

Unconsciously, public opinion has been turning to Naza to express his gratitude, and there is no doubt that the internet trolls have been punished.

Nazha felt helpless when looking at the mess in the comment section. Her Weibo account was taken away again. She just wanted to show her support, but who could have thought that the company would act so quickly.

She was very distressed. She thought that her behavior, which only moved Shen Lang, would have a greatly reduced effect. She did not hide the fact that she did this to move Shen Lang, but she felt that there was nothing wrong with her doing so.

She has become accustomed to supporting Shen Lang. She believes that if anything happens to her, Shen Lang will definitely support her in the same way. This is trust.

It was a tacit understanding cultivated over many years, and then, Shen Lang, who had a tacit understanding, called.

"Don't think I will be touched. You are just trying to take advantage of my popularity." Shen Lang said the first sentence.

"No, that won't work. I've already supported you, so remember that." Naza heard Shen Lang's voice and was still very happy.

"Why didn't you notify me before posting on Weibo? I would like to give you a thumbs up." Shen Lang said.

"You go now."

"Thanks. Where are you? I'll fly over to repay you."

"Get out of here, you're doing this again."

"You know, if I don't contact you after breaking up, I always feel that the ceremony is not right. Hello, hello." Shen Lang looked at the hung up phone. Forget it, there will be a chance.

He and Naza have a very high level of mutual trust. Even so, he was moved by Naza's performance against the odds this time.

If he hadn't been as hard-hearted as iron, he might have planned to marry her this time. Fortunately, he held back and he really didn't deserve to be scolded.

……

When "The Lone Warrior" was killing everyone, a group of people took collective action at night in many third- and fourth-tier cities.

"Damn, what kind of cinema is this? Movies are only available at night. If I want to support the Grandmaster, I have to come out in the middle of the night."

"Who said it wasn't? We have to give face to the founder. If I didn't dislike speaking on the Internet, I would have criticized him a long time ago."

"It's just too much trouble. It would be great if I had the time to go see the girls. Those people on Weibo really speak up. If I hadn't known that there would be no tickets for tonight's night movie, I wouldn't have known that so many brothers came to grab tickets."

"No way, it's only available at night, what the hell is the schedule."

"Come to think of it, why aren't there many young ladies watching the movie?"

"Who cares about them? They will definitely not come after being exposed by the Grandmaster."

"Oh, I'm speechless. I actually didn't want to watch the movie. The more people curse the founder, the more I support him. He is a role model for my generation, and so many goddesses have been killed."

"Awesome, I'll spend whatever amount of money I want, whenever the class starts."

……

A miracle was discovered in cinemas in many cities today.

"Boss, how about giving all the theaters for other movies to Big Shot tomorrow? There are so many people who want to watch it, but there are no tickets available."

"Nonsense, I don't know, but you can't change it privately. There is a contract. Is it full now?"

"Yes, Boss, in addition to free movies, this is the first time I've watched movies until almost midnight, and our cinema is 100% full."

"I didn't expect this either. I have to say that Shen Lang must give a response to the higher-ups and add more halls. No one is watching Romance, The Great Wall is only half full at best, and Big Shot is full. Are there still people waiting?"

"Boss, how about we do it secretly and sell tickets for other movies and show 'Big Shot'."

"Look, this group of people purely support Shen Lang. You think they are stupid. If you dare to do anything, they will be exposed directly. I will not be able to do business anymore. Don't make trouble for me."

"Boss, got it."
