Chapter 290 This person is not simple!
The news of Chen Le's bet with Jin Zhipeng was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up huge waves in the vast ocean of the internet.
After the glamour of the film and television night faded, the news spread rapidly, with related headlines topping various trending lists and generating a huge response in the internet world.
The topic immediately caused a stir online, drawing the attention of many netizens.
The content posted by a highly influential film and television blogger instantly became the focus of public opinion, and the comment section was filled with netizens' messages.
Netizen
"Monkey."
They were the first to raise questions.
"Who exactly is this Chen Le? I've never heard of him before!"
"His appearance is also very unfamiliar; it seems he rarely appears on screen!"
Netizen
"The Glass Banana"
He then replied, "Hey, you were right!"
"This Chen Le is a businessman, quite well-known in business circles, and it's said he controls a lot of capital!"
However, netizens
"Sunlight on the incense burner produces purple smoke"
However, questions were raised.
"Hey upstairs, stop messing around. Would a big-capital investor be this stingy when investing in a movie?"
"Look at the actors he hired, I've never even heard of them, I have no idea what kind of good stuff they can produce."
Netizen
"The Mighty Heavenly Dragon"
The words were harsh.
"This is absolutely ridiculous! This so-called businessman with capital is nothing but a penny-pincher!"
"The film they invest in is bound to be a terrible movie. They're just trying to cash in on the film market's popularity!"
Netizen
"Mountain Illuminates the Moon"
He said indignantly.
"These days, all businessmen care about is money. They want to get involved in anything that makes money!"
"Please don't let these unscrupulous businessmen ruin our film industry. I just want to watch a few quality movies in peace and quiet, why is that so difficult?"
Netizen
"Virtual Cat Head"
Let's begin analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the two films.
"Most of the films on the market now are commercial films, but Jin Zhipeng really went all out this time!"
"He's got so many big-name stars and a renowned director on board, and even the script is meticulously crafted by the top screenwriter Zhou Tong. The promotional video alone is already incredibly exciting; I think he's destined to win!"
Just when everyone was overwhelmingly in favor of the government, netizens...
"Niu Niu's Little Calf"
He stood up and spoke a fair word for Chen Le.
"Not necessarily. I did some research on Chen Le before; the critically acclaimed film 'War of Dragons' was produced by his company."
"It's just that their company wasn't originally a professional in the film and television industry, so they approached filmmaking with a very laid-back attitude. But I have to say, the films they made were truly excellent."
Netizen
"Hawthorn Red"
He retorted without holding back, "Hey upstairs, how much do you charge per piece? I'd like to try this job part-time too."
Netizen
"Little Leonardo DiCaprio"
He joined in the mockery: "Movies made by big companies are still more reassuring. That businessman named Chen Le, although he's invested in a film company, he still hasn't dared to go public. I guess he lacks confidence!"
"The reason his last work was successful was because he found a good script and a good director. Now he's become like this, thinking he can make a quality work too. I'm just waiting to see him make a fool of himself."
As a flood of doubts arose online, more and more netizens began to question the film "Summer Troubles" invested and produced by Chen Le.
The general consensus is that this film had a small budget, and that Chen Le was just trying to make a quick buck, lacking any real professional-level filming experience.
The outcome of this bet seemed predetermined to everyone; Chen Le was destined to lose.
Interestingly, despite the overwhelming criticism, the immense popularity generated by the ongoing online discussion inadvertently served as a form of publicity for "Summer Troubles".
However, this slight buzz seems insignificant compared to the brilliance of other blockbuster films.
Most of the buzz has been firmly locked in by "The Falcon Warrior," a big-budget production by Golden Horse Films.
This movie is like a giant with deep pockets, with a huge investment and one grand scene after another, like a visual feast. Even the promotional materials alone are enough to make the audience's hearts race.
Meanwhile, Zhenghe Pictures, the film and television group company where Jin Zhipeng works, launched "Swap Lives," which is coming on strong.
Even before its official release, the film has demonstrated strong sales capabilities in pre-sale box office, easily surpassing several million.
Those soaring numbers are like a victory flag, flying high on the battlefield of the film market!
In addition, the other dozen or so films released at the same time also had their own highlights and remained popular.
They are like dazzling stars, shining brightly in the night sky of the movie.
However, in this bustling film market, Chen Le's "Summer Troubles" is like a small flower forgotten in a corner, appearing particularly lonely.
Despite the fact that pre-sales have begun, very few people have bought tickets, making them as rare and precious as raindrops in the desert.
On this day, a relaxed and confident atmosphere filled the office of Zhenghe Film Group.
Jin Zhipeng and screenwriter Zhou Tong sat on the sofa, their faces beaming with smug smiles.
Zheng Tianming, chairman of Zhenghe Pictures, sat leisurely in a chair to the side, sipping tea. The aroma of tea wafted slowly through the air, adding a touch of comfort to the somewhat serious office.
Zheng Tianming gently put down his teacup, a hint of concern in his eyes, and casually asked, "Xiao Jin, I heard you have an extra bet with that kid named Chen Le. What's the stake?"
2000
Tens of thousands! Aren't you afraid of losing?
2000
"Did tens of thousands go down the drain?"
Jin Zhipeng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile, his eyes full of certainty.
"Chairman Zheng, please don't worry."
“I investigated Chen Le. He’s a businessman who started film and television investment halfway through his career. He only became popular because of his luck with the movie ‘War Dragon’.”
"He's definitely going to lose this time!"
"That movie, 'Summer Troubles,' was a small-budget production with a cast of relatively unknown actors. What good could it possibly be? I can't even imagine what he has to offer me in this bet."
Zhou Tong, who was sitting to the side, pushed up his glasses and echoed.
“That’s right, Mr. Zheng. My script for ‘Swap Lives’ has been meticulously crafted. With so many A-list actors joining the cast, plus a powerful publicity team, the pre-sale box office shows just how well the market is responding. On the other hand, Chen Le’s movie doesn’t have any buzz at all. It’s not even in the same league as ours.”
Zheng Tianming gently put down his teacup and nodded.
"That's true, but the business world is like a battlefield, and anything can happen."
"Don't let your guard down. Since Chen Le has made a name for himself in the business world, he must be no ordinary person."
Jin Zhipeng waved his hand dismissively.
