"What is it? 1 billion?"
All the reporters could not help but be shocked. They had not expected Chen Feng to be so confident in his movie.
Not only the reporters, but even the director and the other actors found it unbelievable.
In Director Chen's mind, it was already very impressive for this movie to reach 500 million yuan.
After all, this theme was relatively niche and could not be considered a blockbuster.
However, he did not expect Chen Feng to actually dare to say such a number. Moreover, it was a conservative estimate.
The reason why Chen Feng said this was because he believed that with his strength, he would definitely be able to conquer the audience.
One billion yuan at the box office was not an astronomical figure. Wolf Warrior 2 had even earned billions of yuan at the box office.
Therefore, his expectations weren't too ridiculous.
The press conference ended and everyone prepared for their next trip.
However, on the second day, another round of attacks against Chen Feng was launched on the internet.
The reason was that a video of Chen Feng insulting a reporter for being stupid had gone viral on the internet.
The video was the content of yesterday's press conference. However, it had been edited and the reporter's words had been hidden. Only Chen Feng's words about the reporters being brainless were left.
In addition to the scene of the reporter falling to the ground, it was simply Chen Feng not only insulting him, but also beating him up.
No one had expected that the gossip reporter would use such a despicable method to slander Chen Feng. For a time, a storm was stirred up on the internet once again.
Chen Feng could not help but frown when he saw the news.
He didn't care about it himself. He had a clear conscience about the nonsense on the Internet.
However, he was worried that his time would affect the entire production team.
After all, it was because of him that he disliked such a big wave.
Therefore, he found Director Chen early and couldn't help but suggest it to him.
"Director Chen, this is all my fault. I was too impulsive back then.”
Chen Feng said seriously," Why don't I skip the press conference and roadshow later on, lest they take advantage of this opportunity?"”
Hearing this, Chen Guohui laughed and patted Chen Feng's shoulder.
"Feng Zai, you don't have to think so much. The production team has already made an announcement about this matter. They will sue the gossip magazine. Don't worry about the publicity. If anyone asks you again, just say that you have no comment.”
"But Director Chen, this will have a negative impact on our production team!”
Chen Feng felt slightly guilty.
"Ah, Feng Zai, you've only been in the entertainment industry for a short time. You don't know that sometimes negative influences can also increase our popularity.”
Director Chen consoled him." Don't worry. You can't miss out on any promotional events that you should attend!”
After Chen Feng left, Director Chen's expression darkened slightly.
He had said that it was easy just now, but in reality, media and public relations were not that easy!
The investors had already called to ask what was going on.
Once such a trend formed on the Internet, it would have a huge impact on the box office of the entire movie.
"Sigh, now I can only hope that the movie will change when it's released.”
Chen Guohui's only consolation now was that the quality of the movie was passable.
This was especially true for Chen Feng's acting skills. He should be able to add quite a few points to the entire movie.
Although he thought so, Director Chen wasn't sure if he could really do it!
Although the rest of the journey went on as usual, the entire team was covered in a gray shadow.
Chen Feng could sense it, but he did not say it out loud.
Now, he could only wait for the results of the movie's screening.
After more than a month, the publicity work was finally over.
Without any other arrangements, Chen Feng immediately called Director Xiangjiang.
"Hello, is this Director Wen? I am Chen Feng!"
"Ah, it's Young Feng!"
"Yes, Director Wen, I've finished my arrangements here. I can go back to Xiangjiang to film soon.”
Chen Feng felt that he had wasted quite a bit of time. Perhaps the filming crew had already finished filming.
"Uh, Feng, there's no rush. You just finished your work. Rest for a few days first.”
Director Wen's words caused Chen Feng to feel somewhat puzzled.
She had previously told him to rush back as soon as he was done with the publicity. Why was he not in a hurry now?
Almost instantly, Chen Feng recalled what had happened recently.
"Director Wen, you don't have to worry about whether there are any changes. Just say it.”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Then, she heard Director Wen sigh.
"Sigh, Feng Zai, because of the recent crazy news on the Internet, it has a very bad impact on you, so the investors have called several times to request that you be replaced as the male lead.”
Without waiting for Chen Feng to reply, Director Wen hurriedly added," However, don't worry. Director Liu and I have already fought for you. As long as your movie is released in a few days, we will know the result."”
"Movie screening? What does it have to do with this?"
Chen Feng did not quite understand what Director Wen meant.
"The investor's condition is that they want you to be the male lead, but it depends on the box office of your 'Hero of the Fire' movie. They said that they want at least 100 million yuan before they can agree to our request.”
Director Wen sighed and said helplessly," I'm sorry, Feng Zai. Director Liu and I really tried our best.”
"It's nothing, Director Wen. I still have to thank you and Director Liu!”
Chen Feng smiled and sincerely thanked the other party.
He knew that everything would have to wait until it was released.
Fortunately, the premiere started very soon.
