Chapter 316

Especially in the film industry, this situation is common.

Some people are just like that; they can't stand to see others doing well.

If you do well, it's more painful for them than if they didn't make big money themselves.

Additionally, it is also for the sake of their own film's screening and box office.

There are only so many cinema halls; if one movie takes the lion's share, other movies can only drink the soup, or perhaps not even get the soup and can only drink the northwest wind.

During some popular periods, you can often see small movies go from one screening a day at the beginning to one screening every two or three days, and finally, they quietly leave the theaters without making much of a splash.

The film circle is also a place where big fish eat small fish.

Smearing a movie to affect its reputation has become their common tactic.

Therefore, some big films will specifically prepare a large sum for 【reputation maintenance fees】.

Some even prepare hundreds of millions in funds for maintenance.

There are also other low-class tactics like stealing film sources, leading to leaks.

The young girl keeps a very tight watch on this, so there is no situation of film source leaks.

But she has sufficient confidence in the reputation of *Village Corpse*, so she didn't prepare any reputation maintenance fees.

Giving hard-earned silver to internet trolls is so heartbreaking.

"This is indeed a very serious matter." Lin Yan said with a flushed face.

Why is she blushing... who knows.

Although she hasn't entered the entertainment industry, as one of the executives at Jiaxing, she is very clear about the consequences caused by such things.

"I'll go call on the fans to help." Zhu Zhu Xudan said anxiously; this is the only way she can think of to help You Mingyue.

Youyue took Zhu Zhu Xudan's hand and shook her head, saying: "No need for such trouble."

There is a saying: bad publicity is still publicity.

Moreover, the studio staff had already told her that the situation seemed to have taken a strange turn.

On the internet, the Moon Worship Cult and the audience who had seen *Village Corpse* had already begun to engage in fierce confrontations with those black trolls.

Overall, they had the upper hand before they even made a move.

To the side.

Mingyue opened her phone and handed it to Zhu Zhu Xudan to see.......

It could be seen that under every negative comment appearing on Weibo, there were hundreds or thousands of comments explaining for *Village Corpse*, while also including national insults.

Someone said "*Village Corpse* has incorrect values," and immediately someone replied: "Auntie Chu is teaching you not to be a heartless man, not to cheat, and not to be too much like Bu Bu Wantian."

Someone said "the movie's special effects are poor," and someone replied: "You're talking to me about big-budget special effects in a horror movie? I suggest you go see a doctor."

……

Such things are numerous.

These people trying to stir up trouble not only failed to lower the reputation of *Village Corpse* but instead made the movie's popularity higher and higher, saving a large sum of promotional fees.

No internet trolls are more powerful than organic fans.

The twins have plenty of organic fans.

However, when the young girl saw the word "special effects," her mind stirred.

"Special effects?"

Mingyue's beautiful eyes looked at Zhu Zhu Xudan.

"Dear, do you have time to act in a movie?"

This "dear" made Lin Yan roll her eyes; humph, these two big pig trotters!

As for Zhu Zhu Xudan, she automatically omitted the three words "dear" and was overjoyed by the second half of Mingyue's sentence.

"Yes! Must have!" She nodded quickly; this is You Mingyue's movie, after all. There are countless people in the circle who want to act but don't have the opportunity; if she doesn't act, she's a fool.

Sure enough, sucking up is still useful.

Although it's very exhausting to suck up to both of them every time, there is a reward for the effort!

Youyue and Mingyue looked at each other and smiled slightly.

The next movie is *Resident Evil*.

Besides the female lead, which they will play themselves, there is another female character with a very heavy role.

That is the heroic female mercenary in the movie.

This role is very suitable for Zhu Zhu Xudan.

1.

Although they once thought about not using the whole Jiaxing bucket, Lu Xun once said, don't let the fertile water flow into outsiders' fields!

It's just Zhu Zhu Xudan alone, it doesn't matter.

……

On the internet.

Netizens retorted to the trolls, which instead made countless onlookers more interested in this movie.

The screenings for *Village Corpse* were basically packed every time.

This shocked countless filmmakers again, making them envious, jealous, and hateful. Never has a horror movie been this popular, but they didn't expect You Mingyue to achieve it.

What makes people even more jealous is…… now this movie has long since broken even, and every bit of box office increase is pure profit!

Looking at *Person in the Painting* and *Dragon City*, these two movies with 300 million in investment, counting theater splits, promotional expenses, etc., generally need 1 billion in box office to break even.

For a time, it actually gave people a very miserable feeling.

Especially in contrast to the high box office results of *Village Corpse*.

If this continues, whether these two movies can break even will be a question mark.

"As expected of the Roll Emperor, she's so good at rolling." Tang Yu said bitterly.

He had long heard that You Mingyue was very good at rolling, but until this moment, he truly understood the terror of the Rolling Heavenly Emperor!

At the same time, everything happening with You Mingyue's new movie also made countless filmmakers start to reflect.

In the past, they made movies by: piling up big names, piling up traffic, playing with special effects……, but they ignored the core thing of a movie—the story.

Tell a good story, and the audience will naturally buy tickets.

You Mingyue proved this point.

……

In the following days, the box office of *Village Corpse* continued to rise, soon exceeding 700 million, breaking the young girl's own movie box office record.

However, the box office growth gradually slowed down.

After all, it's just a horror movie, and the overall market is only so big.

But it's already enough to make people jealous.

Not only that, on Starry Sky Net, the movie rating for *Village Corpse* remained at 9. .

Among horror movies, this is an extremely high score.

Discerning people can already see that this is a horror movie that is about to become a classic.

In the history of horror movies, there will be You Mingyue's name.

But this also makes some film and television companies that follow You Mingyue's work themes distressed.

How the hell are we supposed to follow this?

It's impossible to learn.

The kind that fails as soon as you try to learn.

For the twins, there is nothing to be proud of.

This is just a small step in their journey in the film circle; their goals are far from simple.

The shock it brings to people might be that this step of theirs is something many filmmakers need to look up to for a lifetime.

……

The preparation work for the new TV series and new movie is in full swing.

This day.

While the internet was still discussing the movie, a Weibo post released by You Mingyue instantly ignited the entire internet.
