Chapter 223: Luck

Once everything was calm and everyone had cooled down, only then did they finally begin to analyze the cause of the incident.

Many people wanted to know what had caused this "war" that swept through half the entertainment industry.

And the final result was truly unexpected to many: the entire cause was just a sentence Director Wu Jin said while participating in an interview to promote "Wolf Warrior 2," directly hinting at a large group of traffic stars in the entertainment industry who took sky-high salaries.

Originally, this was a matter very easy to provoke public anger, but under the current circumstances, no star's fans dared to provoke any more trouble.

Weibo was truly hateful this time, having already banned many of those who took the lead in making trouble and those with vulgar language. As long as the comments with more than 1,000 likes were all focused on, at least it was a week starting, and some were even permanently banned.

There was no help for it; it seemed that the higher-ups were truly going to rectify the atmosphere in the entertainment industry this time, and as the largest gathering place for fan circles, Weibo was certainly a key target.

In the past, perhaps they could still disobey in public and obey in private, or muddle through, but this time, even a fool knew not to deceive their superiors and conceal from their subordinates like before.

In such a general environment, no matter how angry the fans were, they didn't dare to go against the operations department, because those who dared to go against it had all been banned.

As the saying goes, "The loss of a horse may be a blessing in disguise."

Director Wu Jin's words, single-handedly firing at all high-paid and low-skilled traffic stars in the entertainment industry, while being hated by the fans of these traffic stars, also received unanimous praise from a group of righteous netizens.

In fact, netizens had long been dissatisfied with fan circle fans and traffic stars. A perfectly good entertainment industry was made into a mess by these people.

But all along, no one had dared to stand up and publicly confront these people.

And Director Wu Jin dared to be the first. Although it was mainly to promote his own movie, since he had said such words, he deserved to be praised by everyone.

Therefore, in terms of online public opinion, Wu Jin, who originally had an average reputation, suddenly became tall and upright, turning into the image of a straightforward and true-tempered man.

At the same time, I don't know if GJ was out of returning the favor, or some other considerations, after criticizing the status quo of the entertainment industry, they issued another article praising Wu Jin and "Wolf Warrior 2."

Article title: A patriotic work worth watching—"Wolf Warrior 2"!

The author who wrote this article had clearly watched "Wolf Warrior 2" through some channel and knew the plot direction of the movie very well, but didn't make too many spoilers, but focused on the patriotic feelings expressed by this movie.

From the script, there was actually nothing novel; it was just an old-fashioned story of justice defeating evil.

But the different point was that this movie used ubiquitous details to show China's influence in the world and the excellent conduct of Chinese soldiers.

The author didn't reveal too many specific details. After all, the movie hadn't been released yet. Anyway, to sum it up: this is a main melody movie that is very worth watching for Chinese people. Although the plot is old-fashioned, it is definitely not as empty and boring as other main melody movies.

With GQT taking the lead, official media such as the People's Daily also began to promote "Wolf Warrior 2."

After the Chinese public opinion vane clearly expressed its point of view, other media also hurriedly followed suit and reported it.

Before, "Wolf Warrior 2" was only exposed by limited film and television media, but now it has transformed and directly become the darling of the media. News of all sizes and Baijiahao have all promoted it.

Obviously, this is an ordinary commercial movie without any GJ investment or instruction to film, but under such circumstances, it has been given special significance.

To be honest, when Wu Jin filmed "Wolf Warrior 2" with the main melody as the keynote, he never thought that GJ would support his work so much.

It can only be said that his butt was sitting relatively straight from the beginning, and then at this critical node of movie promotion, he very luckily encountered the opportunity for GJ to rectify the entertainment industry style and establish a positive model.

It can be said that even if there was no "Wolf Warrior 2" at this time, any movie with a main melody could have received such treatment.

Luck is sometimes so magical. From the beginning of filming, "Wolf Warrior 2" has been shrouded in inexplicable good luck.

The filming funds were not enough, and the next day an investor came to the door.

The heroine quit, and not long after, she found Luo Quan, who was countless times better than the original heroine. A few months later, she even became the focus of attention because of her popularity.

There was also this time, just starting the promotion, she encountered such a big event, and was named and praised by GJ.

These two praises from GQT and the People's Daily were better than any promotional effect.

Since these two reports came out, the phones from various cinema chains hadn't stopped.

Before this, Wu Jin only signed a contract with Wanda Cinema, and other slightly lower-level cinema chains basically didn't pay much attention to him.

Don't underestimate these cinema chains. What China has the most is actually them. Only by becoming popular in these cinema chains can you truly achieve a big box office sale.

This situation truly responded to a sentence: the me you ignored at the beginning, you can no longer climb high now.

Of course, "can't climb high" is still an exaggeration, but at least the initiative was completely in Wu Jin's hands. How to sign the contract and how to set the price were naturally arranged in the direction most favorable to him.

Anyway, with GJ as a backer, there is no need to worry about the screening volume of "Wolf Warrior 2" being too small!

After starting the publicity work, Wu Jin's schedule was almost full every day.

He spent the whole night talking about conditions and signing contracts.

Early the next morning, he and Luo Quan and others took a plane to Changsha, Hunan.

Today is Friday, and tomorrow is the day when the new episode of "Happy Camp" is broadcast.

As the undisputed king of domestic entertainment variety shows, "Happy Camp" has always been top-tier in terms of traffic and popularity.

Generally speaking, the programs broadcast on Saturday are recorded half a month or even a month in advance, although there are occasional live broadcasts, that is a very small number of cases.

However, it is obvious that the situation today is a bit special. The program was recorded during the day on Friday, and the program team required it to be edited by the afternoon of the next day. It was obvious that it would be recorded today and broadcast tomorrow. Counting the time for submission for review, it was really a bit tight.

Before GQT issued that report, when Wu Jin contacted "Happy Camp," they didn't intend to invite him at first.

Most of the people who watch "Happy Camp" are girls, and girls who watch variety shows like handsome guys the most.

In the past, "Happy Camp" often invited Korean boy group idols, very frequently, and was also called "China's No. 1 Korean Variety Show."

After the ban on Korean culture last year, "Happy Camp" naturally didn't dare to invite any Korean stars, and instead began to invite these domestic small fresh meats, and the ratings were still not low.

And Wu Jin, over middle age, a little over 1.7 meters tall, with a heroic appearance, but his appearance is really far from the appearance of a Korean-style beautiful boy.

If he was really invited, the ratings of this episode would inevitably be pulled down, because there was no point to watch at all.

However, after the program team knew who the heroine of "Wolf Warrior 2" was, they immediately changed their minds.

That is Luo Quan, currently the most popular female singer in China and even the world. I don't know how many program teams, crews, including "Happy Camp," have sent her invitation announcements.

But none of them succeeded in inviting her.

As the saying goes, "things are rare and precious." The more Luo Quan doesn't participate in programs, the more it makes those who make programs itch.

Now is the rising period of her popularity. No matter what variety show, as long as she is there, the topic popularity will definitely not be missing.

So after knowing that Luo Quan would also follow the "Wolf Warrior 2" crew to promote, the "Happy Camp" program team agreed to Wu Jin's proposal.

And the reason why it is so urgent to let this episode be broadcast is mainly the requirement of the SARFT.

After all, "Wolf Warrior 2" is planned to be released at the end of May, and the publicity time is only about twenty days.

As the No. 1 variety show in China, if it is broadcast earlier, it can have a publicity effect earlier.

If it is really broadcast after two or three weeks, it will lose the meaning of advance publicity.

Moreover, the media on the Internet are now promoting "Wolf Warrior 2," and the channels on TV certainly cannot fall behind.

Anyway, if the leader says a word, the subordinates have to run and break their legs.

Recorded today, broadcast tomorrow, it must be broadcast tomorrow. If the effect is not good, it won't work.

Fortunately, "Happy Camp" has been held for nearly twenty years, more than a thousand episodes, and all kinds of situations have been encountered. The production staff are also top-level in the industry, and they can still get it out by working overtime.

But how the effect is, in fact, a large part depends on the guests.

Several hosts of "Happy Camp" know how to make program effects, and their experience is exceptionally rich, but these guests, except for Qin Yi, are all on "Happy Camp" for the first time. Whether they can cooperate well is actually a problem.

If you are unlucky, this recording is likely to take a long time.

However, even if there are various concerns, Teacher He Jiong is still smiling when he sees Wu Jin and others.

"Hello, Host He." Wu Jin took the lead in shaking hands when he saw He Jiong.

Wu Jin and He Jiong are both people who don't look old. They are forty-four or forty-three years old, but they look like twenty-three.

Especially He Jiong, who is famous in the entertainment industry for his frozen age. He and his ten-year-old self have almost no difference in photos, and even wrinkles on his face can hardly be seen.

"It's really hard for you this time, the working time is so tight." Wu Jin also knew the broadcast arrangement of this episode of "Happy Camp" and thanked him in advance.

"Small problem, anyway, video editing is the director's work, and it has nothing to do with me." He Jiong made a joke.

Luo Quan laughed out loud.

"Ah, you must be Luo Quan." He Jiong had noticed Luo Quan long ago.

Because it was the first time to go on a domestic entertainment variety show, Luo Quan wore a slightly more serious set of clothes this time.

Actually, it can't be said to be very serious, just bought a new T-shirt and jeans online. She had worn the previous sets for several years, and they were a bit old. 【223-

After changing into new clothes, her overall appearance did indeed improve somewhat.

"Hello, Teacher He." Luo Quan did not shake hands, but merely bowed slightly in greeting.

He Qiong exclaimed sincerely: "You really are beautiful. I've been doing shows for over a dozen years, and among all the female guests, you are the most beautiful!"

"By the way, have you heard this line many times already?"

Luo Quan smiled slightly: "In fact, the first sentence everyone I meet says is basically the same as what you just said."

He Qiong laughed: "There's no helping that; humans are visual animals after all, and the impact of your appearance on the eyes is indeed too great."

After chatting with Luo Quan, He Qiong greeted Qin Yi and Wu Hang one after another, showing proper courtesy to everyone without favoring one over the other.

This is also the reason why He Qiong has always had zero negative reviews in the entertainment industry: he is kind to others, approachable, and maintains quite good friendships with almost every star he has worked with.

Every year on his birthday, the big names in the entertainment industry send him sincere blessings; that scene can simply be called a major event in the Chinese entertainment industry.

However, what's interesting is that although He Qiong's status in the entertainment industry is so high and his popularity is ridiculously high, very few people know about his family situation.

Many fans still don't even know whether he is married or whether he has a son or a daughter, which shows how well he protects the privacy of his family.

After getting to know the guests other than Qin Yi, He Qiong began to explain the precautions for the show *Happy Camp* to Wu Jin and the others.

Actually, there isn't much to pay attention to; it's an entertainment and comedy variety show, so the guests naturally say whatever they want. Except for some taboo topics, they can almost speak freely, as long as they achieve the goal of the show—making the audience laugh.

If you really don't have a sense of humor, don't worry; the hosts will do their best to help carry the output, and the guests just need to stand by, chime in, and laugh along. It's just that there might be fewer camera shots for you later.

For Wu Jin and Wu Hang, the amount of screen time doesn't matter; they don't rely on this for a living, as long as they can promote *Wolf Warrior 2*.

Qin Yi also came here often when he was popular before; for a time, he could even be called a regular, so he was very familiar with most of the procedures.

As for Luo Quan, she could only take it one step at a time; if it really didn't work out, she would just fully cooperate with the hosts. In any case, she definitely couldn't be a slacker this time.

Before filming, the production team had already agreed that this episode would have two themes: one was to promote *Wolf Warrior 2*, and the other was Luo Quan.

She was one of the protagonists of this episode, so she would definitely have the most screen time, and the host would frequently pass the conversation to her, hoping she would be mentally prepared.

Wu Jin and Wu Hang didn't care about these things and had no objections to Luo Quan being in the center position.

As for Qin Yi, it was clear that he wanted to take this opportunity to increase his popularity.

However, his status was now far from what it used to be, and being able to be on the show this time was actually riding on Luo Quan's coattails, so he couldn't have any opinions about such an arrangement.

After everything was decided, the recording of the show began.
