Chapter 481

And Jay Chou was not to be outdone this time either.

If the fans want to send you money, what can you do about it?

When the theater chains saw how supportive Jay Chou's fans were,

they immediately adjusted the screening schedule.

When Xu Feng went to attend the premiere of *Detective Chinatown* for Zhang Zifeng, and heard that *Initial D* had a 60% screening share,

he wore a look of pure, husky-like shock.

Chen Sicheng, standing beside him, was almost in tears.

However, the backlash arrived immediately; since you've enjoyed the benefits, you must bear the costs.

Those media outlets that would ignore everything else for the sake of traffic—how could they possibly let this opportunity pass?

Jay Chou, already approaching forty, got a long-overdue taste of the feeling of being attacked by the entire internet, just like when he first debuted.

【Jay Chou's fans are stepping on my idol, yet they're still just spamming votes, aren't they?】

【Laughing to death, and he's supposed to be the leader of the Chinese music scene?】

【I've never even heard his songs.】

Even quite a few big shots in the industry—specifically those in the film and television circles—came out to speak.

Most of them, however, were scolding Jay Chou.

Because they knew very well that offending Jay Chou wouldn't matter much.

After all, they weren't in the same lane.

But, there were still warriors in this world.

For example...

Lu Chuan, the director of *Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe*, a film released during the same May Day period.

【A film filled with street racing, kept women, and compensated dating can actually get so much box office and screening share? Can Xu Feng and Jay Chou remind their fans not to disrupt the mainland film market?】

When he saw this message, even Feng Xiaogang, who often scolded the audience as trash, secretly gave Lu Chuan a thumbs-up in his heart.

Good man, you've got guts.

Scolding Jay Chou is one thing, but you even dare to scold the other one.

It seems he is still too young and doesn't know Xu Feng's personality.

And those who held the same thought included Chen Kaige, Guo Xiaosi, and others.

These directors were often used as tools in entertainment novels for the protagonist to show off.

They all knew not to offend Xu Feng.

This Lu Chuan was truly brave.

On the set of *Cells at Work*, when the little assistant Yang Chaoyue reported this matter to Xu Feng,

the whole set fell into a dead silence. "He's dead."

Dong Meiren, who had dated Xu Feng the earliest and understood his personality extremely well, muttered softly. "I heard this Lu Chuan is pursuing you; do you want to plead for him?" Yang Xue whispered to Qin Lan beside her.

That's right, this Lu Chuan was also a suitor of Qin Lan. "Are you trying to get me killed?" Qin Lan retorted irritably.

After a brief silence, Xu Feng took out his phone, logged into Weibo, and backhanded a slap across Lu Chuan's face: 【Such behavior by fans is indeed prone to disrupting the market, and we are working hard to stop it, but I think it only affects those excellent films; is there any need for certain trash films to worry? Doing the workload of Lin Daiyu while carrying the heart of Schwarzenegger.】

With one sentence, he made Lu Chuan furious.

After all, the man was only in his forties; although he couldn't compare to a monster like Xu Feng, he was still the type of young director who was too arrogant. He sprayed back on the spot: 【Can you guarantee that you will never make a trash film in your life?】

【I can't guarantee it, but it's still better than always making trash films.】

【Your behavior is a strangulation of domestic films.】

【If you have nothing else to say, tell me when your next film is being released? Shall we play a round?】

Originally, countless netizens and even celebrities were looking forward to these two directors staging a catfight comparable to the one between Donnie Yen and Zhao Wenzhuo back in the day.

However, when Xu Feng said the third sentence,

there was no response from Lu Chuan's side.

On the set, Xu Feng raised an eyebrow and said with disdain, "That's it? He's chickened out?"

He had been bored and wanted to find some fun.

But after spraying a couple more times, the other party went silent; how boring.

"Holy crap, I thought he was so brave, but he's just a coward!" Peng Yuchang laughed, winking.

To tell the truth, Peng Yuchang was actually looking forward to Xu Feng suffering a bit in this war of words.

After all, when filming, Xu Feng scolded him like a grandson every day on set.

It would be a miracle if he didn't have the slightest bit of resentment. "After all, fists are the hard truth." Zhang Zifeng said with a face full of admiration.

Seeing his sister like this, Peng Yuchang thought to himself: *Sis, stop daydreaming; your looks don't meet the threshold for Xu Feng to sleep with you. *

PS: Although I'm not that interested in Zhang Zifeng, if everyone likes her, it wouldn't hurt to increase her screen time a little. ===== CHAPTER 483 =====
