Chapter 876 - A Heated Discussion Throughout The Entire Internet
Chapter 876: A Heated Discussion Throughout The Entire Internet
At that moment, Su Yang was the most famous tycoon in the country. Everyone had just seen him “save the world” in the movie, but soon after that, he became the hero of “crushing Japan” in real life.
Because of these feats, Su Yang’s popularity far exceeded that of an ordinary actor or tycoon.
These effects stacked up completely defied all logic.
The image in the movie made Su Yang’s actions in reality more distinct, while his actions in reality made Su Yang seem like a legend.
This made many people look forward to, curious, and worship Su Yang.
Initially, this kind of conflict with a country would not be publicized, and they would even come out to criticize it. However, in this case, the country did not say anything.
Furthermore, all the big shots in the relevant departments knew about Su Yang’s relationship with the higher-ups, so they started to spread the news without any worries.
The consequence of this was that Su Yang’s achievements were widely spread and the topic of discussion was extremely high.
Furthermore, even though Su Yang had filmed and held a press conference before, he was usually very low-profile. He did not participate in interviews, did not make any appearances, and only occasionally expressed his views on Weibo and the app.
That was why the netizens were so curious about Su Yang!
In the end, Su Yang suddenly participated in a variety show, a reality show in fact. This gave those who were curious about Su Yang their ticket in. They all wanted to know what kind of person Su Yang was.
Moreover, youngsters were not the only ones who were interested in him.
Because of Su Yang’s series of achievements, some older people were curious about Su Yang as well.
Other than them, many other people who wanted to succeed also had their eyes on him.
These included other big shots and tycoons.
Therefore, that episode of “Mushroom House” really became a hit.
Forget how much their viewership ratings had increased, just the amount of viewers who were not originally part of the program’s audience could bring new opportunities to the program…
As the promotions spread like wildfire, more and more videos were exposed. For example, Wu Feng talked about interesting things that he had filmed in “Wolf Warriors 2” and “Wandering Planet”, while Lin Jiali complained about Su Yang and Wu Feng.
Also…
Su Yang and Teacher He’s conversation was included.
“Mr. Su, you’ve been here for so long, but I still haven’t congratulated you on “Wandering Planet” breaking five billion yuan at the box office and becoming number one in the history of film.”
“It’s a good thing that you’re congratulating me now. Otherwise, you might not be able to do so in a few days.”
This scene immediately whetted everyone’s appetite.
‘It’s a good thing that you’re congratulating me now? Otherwise, you might not be able to do so in a few days?
‘What?
‘Why did he say that?
‘”Wandering Planet”, the movie that’s in the no. 1 box office, is only worth congratulating over the next few days? Is it because it’s going to expire?’
No one knew why Su Yang said that, nor did they know what happened on the show.
Hence, this topic became one of the trending topics and many people were analyzing why Su Yang said that.
Some said that it was because Su Yang had been making too much money already, so he did not think much about the box office. Some said that the copyright to “Wandering Planet” was sold.
Aside from that, some said that “Wandering Planet” had started broadcasting overseas. ‘Perhaps he intends to take first place in the overseas box office?
‘Anyway, no matter what it is, there’s no reason no one is going to talk about it in a few days’ time.’
Regardless, the program became popular before it was even broadcasted.
Everything would depend on the effects of that episode.
Soon, a few days passed, and it was time for the new episode of “Mushroom House” to air.
Many people started to wait in front of the television for this episode of “Mushroom House”. They wanted to watch Su Yang’s first variety show and see what kind of person he was.
With the clock showing 10pm, the program was broadcasted.
The audience patiently waited for the introduction to end before they started to watch this episode. To connect with the previous episode, the first five minutes of the show was a recap of the last.
As the premiere episode was broadcasted on television, it could not be fast-forwarded. Therefore, when they saw the last episode’s recap, the audience was almost dying of anxiety.
Thankfully, the show did not keep the audience waiting. Soon, Wu Feng called the producers to say that he was going to be joining the show.
Teacher Huang and the rest started to guess who else it could be other than Wu Feng. They could not help but guess who Su Yang was.
Soon after, the few of them talked about Su Yang’s achievements and were in awe. They were prepared to get off the car personally to welcome and take a look at this young tycoon.
After chatting, the few of them did not delay any further and went out to welcome Wu Feng and the others.
When they arrived at the town, Su Yang and the rest alighted from the car.
At that moment, the production team gave Su Yang a close-up.
White shoes, black pants, white T-shirt, and a blue denim jacket. His clean outfit was eye-catching.
He looked at Su Yang’s fair and delicate face. Even though he was not particularly handsome, he looked like a boy-next-door. Coupled with the filter, Su Yang’s looks were enhanced.
Still…
These were the impressions of the youngsters who had seen Su Yang on the big screen.
For those who had not watched “Wandering Planet” and only paid attention to Su Yang because of his past achievements, their image crumbled in an instant. ‘That… That’s Su Yang?!
‘That’s the Su Yang who dominated the business world and fought every enemy he’s met.
‘That’s “the” Su Yang who crippled Japan?!
‘But… Why does he look like he’s my child or nephew?’
In their hearts, Su Yang was either a devil with four arms and eight legs, or a cold and decisive businessman.
Hence, they did not expect for him to be just a… Boy?
This strong contrast attracted them to continue watching, and it also attracted many viewers to watch the show.
Then, the show continued. After some small talk, they walked back together.
As they walked back, the few permanent MCs introduced the local customs. Su Yang had a warm smile on his face the whole time and nodded slightly like an ordinary young man.
Only when the camera accidentally caught a few security guards wearing black suits and sunglasses would the audience be reminded that this boy was one of the top five richest men in the country.
After that, the regulars brought Su Yang and the rest to browse through the mushroom house. Then, they sat down to drink tea and started chatting.
There were some edits to the conversation. Initially, the camera was given to Wu Feng and Lin Jiali. They were chatting with Teacher Huang and Zifeng about the interesting events during the shoot.
Occasionally, the camera would catch a glimpse of Su Yang drinking his tea quietly and looking at the scenery in the distance. His gaze was so deep that it seemed to contain the stars.
Even though Su Yang’s image was a little weird in the beginning, the more they watched the show, the more the audience noticed that Su Yang had a unique aura that was different from an ordinary person. His extraordinary temperament, noble aura, and strong confidence in his eyes proved that he was extraordinary.
As expected, when the video showed Teacher He and Su Yang, Teacher He and Su Yang talked about the first place in the box office of “Wandering Planet”. Su Yang finally said something shocking.
“That’s because “Wolf Warriors 2” will be screening in a few more days. “Wandering Planet” will no longer be number one in film history.”
Even though Su Yang still had a warm smile on his face and his tone was calm, it was precisely because of this that the shock that came from his words were especially great.
‘Just how confident does he have to be to say something so calm and domineering?
‘Furthermore, he’s not just making small talk, he’s literally saying it on the show!
‘Isn’t he afraid of being slapped in the face?
‘Or is he really that confident of himself?’
As for Su Yang’s follow-up…
“If it was just for fun, why would I make a movie?
“I really believe that “Wolf Warriors 2” will surpass “Wandering Planet” and become number one in movie history. It might even surpass 6 billion yuan.
“After all, I did use the investment share of “Wandering Planet” in exchange for “Wolf Warriors 2”.
“If “Wolf Warriors 2” can’t even surpass the box office of “Wandering Planet”, then wouldn’t my deal end up being a loss?”
Su Yang’s confidence and dominance were further reinforced.
In the end, this conversation ended with Lin Jiali saying, “He seems to be very good at reading things and has never failed before.”
In less than 10 minutes, Su Yang’s image was completely erected. Everyone remembered this young tycoon who had a warm smile on his face, but is extremely confident and young inside
Initially, the audience thought that this was Su Yang’s everything. However, they did not expect that in the next one and a half hours of the show, Su Yang would change their views again and again.
‘This confident and overbearing young man is as comforting as the warm smile on his face. He’s helping out whenever there’s a problem, and he has never put on any airs or shown his temper. He’s even volunteered to help with the chores and cooking.’
This made everyone’s impression of him improve.
Furthermore, Su Yang did not do these things just to experience life. In his words, it was only right to be more diligent when visiting someone else’s house.
While they were working, Su Yang told them that he came from a small village and that he had experienced many ups and downs along the way. This made everyone understand why Su Yang was so good at cooking.
This was a young man who had truly risen from the bottom.
Other people might not be able to finish their journey in decades, but he could finish it in a few years.
At the end of the first episode, everyone remembered Su Yang to be kind and a human, just like the rest of them.
Everyone understood his past, who was a young man who grew up in a village and worked hard in a big city.
They also understood his character to be gentle, humble, but confident.
They also understood his hobby. He liked to play with small animals, and he liked to sit quietly and read in the afternoon.
As for the others, whether it was Wu Feng or Lin Jiali, they were completely overpowered by Su Yang’s radiance.
Hence, after the first episode ended, Su Yang became a hot topic on the internet once again. Everyone was talking about Su Yang’s life, character, and… How awesome Su Yang was.
However, Su Yang was not the only one being popular. “Wandering Planet” has become even more popular as well. When “Wandering Planet” had just been released, it had become a legendary existence until the present.
Everyone was moved by the magnificent world, shocked by the epic plot.
Therefore, when Su Yang said that “Wolf Warriors 2” was going to do better than “Wandering Planet”, everyone could not help but stop discussing whether Su Yang had gone crazy or was too conceited.
Some people thought that Su Yang was an extremely conceited person based on his behavior. Others thought that Su Yang was gentle and had his own reasons for saying that.
Therefore, the netizens were immediately divided into two groups. They started fighting over whether “Wolf Warriors 2″‘s box office earnings could surpass that of “Wandering Planet”.
This also led to “Wolf Warriors 2” becoming as popular as “Mushroom House”.
At that moment, in the small group chat that was related to the film industry, the actress who had mocked Su Yang previously logged onto a new public article that was especially to mock Su Yang.
‘I think Su Yang is really crazy. He actually said on the show that “Wolf Warriors 2” is going to surpass “Wandering Planet” in the box office.
‘Does he think that he is someone chosen by the Gods? Does he think whatever he shoots is going to become a big hit?
‘Or does he feel that the reason why “Wandering Planet” became popular is because he acted well?
‘Does he really think that he can become the Best Actor? No way, no way!’
At this moment, someone in the group calmly texted… ‘Haven’t you realized that this is a very outstanding topic of marketing? Guess how much box office earnings “Wolf Warriors 2” will increase because of this speech?’
That one sentence rendered the actress speechless.
‘That’s right, this really is an outstanding marketing tactic. All it took was one sentence, but it had already caused a heated discussion on the internet. Even if only 1% of people went to watch a movie because of this topic, the box office earnings would still increase by a few hundred million yuan!’
The actress gritted her teeth, but she knew it was true.
In the end, she took a few deep breaths and replied. ‘So what! He’s sacrificing his reputation to forcefully pull in the box office. Once he fails, his words will be like farts!’
That person replied. ‘What if he succeeds?’
When he texted that, the actress was so angry that she laughed.
‘Succeed?
‘Su Yang will succeed?
‘He’s going to surpass the box office earnings of “Wandering Planet”?
‘Surpass this movie that has broken the box office earnings record by twice as much?
‘How is this possible?!’
With that thought in mind, the actress said again, ‘If he succeeds, I’ll do a live broadcast and run naked!’
No one spoke in the group chat. After all, a person who always talked about running naked didn’t seem like a decent person…
…
The content of the chat group was actually like a miniaturized version of what the internet was talking about. The internet was divided into two factions, and they started attacking and doubting each other. But no matter what, this would become the catalyst for the box office earnings of “Wolf Warriors 2”.
However, Su Yang was no longer concerned about that.
He was only participating in a variety show to promote “Wolf Warriors 2” and to relax a little. As for the outcome… As a world-class corporation, there was no need for him to worry so much.
Furthermore, the bigger reason was that his attention was focused on Central Asia.
Because… That major incident that affected the box office earnings for “Wolf Warriors 2” was finally starting to show!
