At the movie press conference, Wu Tian could not help but curse at the reporters who worshipped foreign things.
The reporters also threatened to report Wu Tian properly.
"Brother, this media outlet is probably going to slander you. Sigh, what should we do?"
Zhang Zifeng nervously pinched the corner of her shirt. She was even more anxious than Wu Tian, as if she was the one who had offended the media.
"It's fine. Let them be."
Wu Tian did not regret his decision.
Although he was facing the risk of the media slandering him, his future as an actor might be affected.
But even if he had to do it again, he would still step forward.
Because he was not only an actor, but also a citizen of Country Z!
……
After the movie press conference ended.
The next morning, Wu Tian's phone rang non-stop. It was Zhang Zifeng.
"Brother, this is bad. Quickly go on Weibo and take a look!”
"Oh, I know."
Wu Tian's mood was still as calm as the surface of the water. He could guess what had happened on Weibo.
It must be the media taking revenge on him.
As expected, the third trending topic on Weibo was about him.
The headline was: " The Wandering Earth " male lead insults the reporter!
He clicked on it and saw an edited video.
Wu Tian opened the video.
The video was not long, and it was accompanied by subtitles. The video was cut to the end, leaving only the part where Wu Tian cursed.
As for the reason why he cursed, it was edited out.
Obviously, the media had ulterior motives.
The title was very eye-catching.
Moreover, many verified accounts saw that Wu Tian was handsome in the video and thought that Wu Tian was a proud young hunk. Hence, they shared the video on Weibo.
Therefore, not long after this Weibo post was posted, there were already thousands of comments.
All of the comments were criticizing Wu Tian for his poor character.
Wu Tian did not take the abuse on the Internet to heart.
After all, the netizens had a herd mentality.
However, Wu Tian believed that if the original video was released, most netizens would definitely attack the unscrupulous media.
The only thing that Wu Tian felt guilty about was that someone deliberately led the way and suggested that everyone not go to the cinema to watch "Wandering Earth" during the New Year.
"Hey, give Director Guo a call.”
Wu Tian did not expect it to affect the production team.
toot ~
Guo Fan picked up the phone. He was about to call Wu Tian as well.
The news spread quickly on the Internet, and Guo Fan also saw the unscrupulous media reports.
"Director Guo, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion.”
Wu Tian apologized sincerely. After all,"The Wandering Earth" was about to be released, but he had caused trouble at this critical juncture.
"Xiao Tian, what are you embarrassed about? You did the right thing!"
Guo Fan did not blame Wu Tian. Instead, he supported him.
"You ignored your future to protect the Z country's sci-fi movies. You're good! I'm ashamed to say it. At that time, I also wanted to stand up and scold the dog, but…sigh…"
Guo Fan sighed and shook his head.
What he wanted to say was that the older one was, the more things they had to consider. Being restrained was not as hot-blooded as young people.
"Don't worry, Little Tian. Don't feel guilty. I'll get someone to do some public relations later and see if we can suppress this matter.”
"Thank you, Director Guo."
Wu Tian thanked him and hung up the phone.
"'Wandering Earth' will be screened in three days. I hope my matter won't affect the box office too much.”
……
Before the New Year movie was released.
Many media outlets had already begun to predict this year's box office champion.
Almost all the major media outlets believed that the champion would only be born from Crazy Alien and The New King of Comedy.
After all, Crazy Alien had four giants working together.
And " The New King of Comedy " was directed by Xing Ye and starred by Wang Baoqiang. It had a lot of appeal.
Other than that, there were also a few people who thought that the box office champion would be a surprise.
Han Han's " Mercedes-Benz Life " and Chan Long's " Pu Songling " could both become dark horses at the box office.
Without a doubt, everyone automatically ignored Wandering Earth.
Actually, this was understandable.
After all, the lineup of Wandering Earth wasn't strong, and it was a sci-fi movie.
On a festive day like the New Year, science fiction movies were obviously not as competitive as comedy movies.
Coupled with the scandal of the male protagonist of " The Wandering Earth " insulting the reporters on the Internet, the media was even more certain that " The Wandering Earth " was a failed movie.
……
February 4th, 2019:
After the last wave of online publicity by the celebrities, the New Year's episode came in a strong wave!
Wandering Earth and The Origin of the White Snake had their premiere at midnight, and they were the first to fight.
However, in an apartment building somewhere in Yanjing, Guo Fan's face was full of melancholy.
After all, he was not a big shot in the director circle. He did not suppress the matter of Wu Tian scolding the reporters.
The internet was still filled with Wu Tian's rhythm.
There were even bored people who started boycotting the Wandering Earth.
Under such circumstances, Guo Fan no longer had much hope for the box office. He only hoped that the movie's ratings would be higher.
Since he couldn't win the box office, he would win the reputation!
Director Guo Fan wasn't the only one who wasn't confident.
The investor and lead actor, Wu Jing, was also deflated. He did not even dare to look at the real-time box office.
The assistant director was fearless.
The next day, when the box office earnings were tabulated, they were shocked beyond belief!
The premiere of Wandering Earth was 202 million!
Although the box office on the first day was not the highest, the attendance rate was as high as 65% even though the screening rate was only 10%. It crushed all the movies that were released at the same time.
This also meant that " The Wandering Earth " had endless potential. It was very likely to become a dark horse at the box office and make a comeback!
At the same time, the first batch of sci-fi die-hard fans watched the movie.
While they marveled at the quality of the film, they also began to regain their confidence in the domestic sci-fi film!
They left their impressions of the movie on the movie review website and received rave reviews in an instant.
[The adaptation of Big Liu's novel is extremely successful! I like it with both hands ~"
" The plot is not out of the ordinary, and the filming method is also quite novel. It was a very satisfying movie. Prepare for the second and third swipe…"
[After watching the movie, my friends and I were stunned. The cast of "Wandering Earth," please accept my knees!」
……
"The acting skills of the main leads are all on point, especially the male lead, Wu Tian. To put it bluntly, his acting skills are above the veteran actors.」
[On the top floor, Wu Tian is indeed a young actor with good acting skills. If he had not insulted the reporters, he would definitely have become the leader of the new generation of actors.”
[Yeah, Wu Tian is masculine and handsome. He's really a low-quality actor.]」
In an instant, a trending phrase appeared on the Internet-low-quality actors.
Wu Tian had obtained this nickname for no reason!
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"What do you mean by a low-quality actor? Are you scolding me or praising me?"
