Xiao Rong'er quickly received a call from the editor-in-chief: "Rong'er, I've read your two film reviews, and they're really well-written. I specifically rewatched the movie 'A Chinese Odyssey' and it's indeed not bad."
However, she didn't explicitly state what to do with the film reviews. Knowing that they were all experienced professionals, Xiao Rong'er understood the editor-in-chief's intention.
"Alright, Editor-in-Chief, just tell me your conditions directly. We're all on the same team," Xiao Rong'er interrupted the editor-in-chief's words.
"Well, you little thing, it seems you've grown wings recently. It's like this, I'm very satisfied with everything, but there's just one point. This is a movie from five years ago and it has no current popularity. Your two film reviews cannot be published."
Everyone is after readership. Works by popular, hot celebrities are certainly published. The key is that this Stephen Chow is just a second-rate actor, and he hasn't had any particularly outstanding works recently.
It gives the impression of living off past glories, so the editor-in-chief was very cautious and couldn't easily publish the articles.
Xiao Rong'er became anxious. In the past two days she was recuperating at home, she discovered online that 'A Chinese Odyssey' had gained considerable popularity.
"Editor-in-Chief, if you have time, please browse the hottest chat rooms and forums online." Xiao Rong'er could only direct the editor-in-chief online, allowing her to understand the online public opinion and heat.
"I know, those are the places with the most netizens. Is there a problem?" the editor-in-chief said with some dissatisfaction. This little girl is not speaking directly and doesn't know how busy she is.
"The highest heat there is for 'A Chinese Odyssey'!" Xiao Rong'er directly revealed the answer.
The editor-in-chief was persuaded by Xiao Rong'er. "I'll go online and take a look. If there isn't that much popularity, you know the consequences of deceiving me."
The editor-in-chief began her online journey, opening the chat rooms and forums, and saw that 'A Chinese Odyssey' was indeed very popular.
To be honest, she didn't dare to believe her eyes at first. A film, once labeled as one of the ten worst films of the year, would actually make a comeback. It seemed impossible, it had never happened before.
But those comments, those endless discussions, all represented real people, all paying attention to 'A Chinese Odyssey'.
This clearly showed the high popularity of 'A Chinese Odyssey', and countless people let out a sigh of emotion.
'At first listen, you don't understand the meaning of the song, but by the second listen, you are already the one in the song.'
Just like when we watch 'A Chinese Odyssey', this is not a simple and easy-to-understand movie.
This is a profound film.
The reason for the current online popularity of 'A Chinese Odyssey' stems from a post in the Zhonghai University community.
It said, "If I wear the golden fillet, how can I love you? If I don't wear the golden fillet, how can I save you."
Life is always about making difficult choices, and we can only choose to let go.
"A Love for a Lifetime" - these four words are not quite right, it should be "Forever Lost My Love."
This is a love tragedy, except that at the end of the movie, it shows that Supreme Treasure changed history.
But in the harshness of life, we all end up resembling dogs.
This series of statements resonated with people.
And those classic lines, truly, "All the best writing under heaven is a form of plagiarism," clearly adapted from lines from other famous movies.
From this, it can be seen that 'A Chinese Odyssey' can be considered an invaluable masterpiece.
It's just that it was made too sophisticated, and then split into two parts, which is why people didn't understand what was going on at the time.
Now that online experts are interpreting it, people finally realized what it was all about.
So, there are parallel universes.
The master in the second timeline could not repay the debt with his life, so Sun Wukong was subdued by Guanyin.
The editor-in-chief put down her mouse, and said with unfinished enjoyment, "It's written really well. It seems Xiao Rong'er has quite good judgment."
However, upon looking at the time, she was dumbfounded. Time had passed so quickly. It seemed she would have to work overtime again tonight, and the task of watching 'A Chinese Odyssey' could only be completed tomorrow.
Her work for today was not yet done. She had wasted time browsing chat rooms and forums online!
She immediately picked up the phone and called: "Rong'er, revise the draft and send it over. I've decided to publish it. This popularity is acceptable!"
The editor-in-chief thought to herself, if 'A Chinese Odyssey' were to be re-released now, it would likely be a strong contender at the box office.
...
Guo Jiajia said to Zhang Tianxing, "How about this, I think you're a good person, and I'm not too busy right now, so I'll help you out for a while. You can decide the salary."
"You're not asking for four thousand yuan anymore?" Zhang Tianxing was a bit puzzled. Mainly, he wasn't sure of Guo Jiajia's capabilities yet.
"Just as you said, commission. I'll only take task commissions, is that okay? No boss is a good person, they're all skinflints!" Guo Jiajia said indignantly. What are these bosses thinking? They want the horse to run but don't want to feed it grass.
"Then, when you have time, go to Xijing again and handle the re-release of 'A Chinese Odyssey'." Now that he had an assistant, Zhang Tianxing arranged his work for the upcoming period.
"I suggest you abandon this directly. Let 'A Chinese Odyssey' gain popularity, and then we can re-release it. Otherwise, we'll lose money again!" Guo Jiajia was not optimistic about 'A Chinese Odyssey'.
Zhang Tianxing directly rejected Guo Jiajia's view: "'A Chinese Odyssey' must be re-released!"
Guo Jiajia thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll find a few more projects for you to review in the next few days. These are projects I've considered investing in during this time."
Since it had come to this, she could only try to find money for Zhang Tianxing from other places. She couldn't just watch her boss lose all his money.
"Okay, hand them over and let me see what your level is like." Zhang Tianxing was now a bit curious about Guo Jiajia's abilities. He didn't have high expectations, just that her ability should be at the level of Yan Ruyu.
Now Zhang Tianxing didn't expect any top talents to come to him. The water was too shallow, and he couldn't keep big fish or dragons. His own capital was too small, and his influence was too insignificant.
Guo Jiajia hummed a little tune, "I laugh with pride, I laugh with pride, here I go!" As she was browsing online, she let out a string of colorful exclamations.
At this moment, Guo Jiajia discovered that 'A Chinese Odyssey' had become popular online. The topic of 'A Chinese Odyssey' had become a central focus of the internet.
Online, someone had shouted a slogan, "We owe Star Master a movie ticket!"
There were discussions online about when 'A Chinese Odyssey' would be re-released.
Director Xu of Xiying Film Studio felt a chill down his spine. Could it be that someone was talking about him behind his back?
It's normal, geniuses are always envied. Who else could sell a bad movie from five years ago for a million yuan.
He could even sell things gathering dust in the warehouse for a million yuan, which was enough to show his capability.
"Elder Zhao, next time you find such a big sucker, introduce a few more. We have plenty of inventory at Xiying, nothing else." Director Xu said with a smile.
Life is so perfect. When life is going well, one must enjoy it to the fullest, lest the wine cup remain empty under the moon.
His good days were about to arrive. When his position improved, and if luck was good, he might even be in charge of the radio and television administration.
The current Director Xu was in high spirits. Under his leadership, Xiying's profits could increase significantly this year.
"Director Xu, something big has happened! The 'A Chinese Odyssey' we sold has become popular, it's on fire online."
Hearing this news, Director Xu was instantly thrown from heaven to hell.
The drop was too drastic. The film he sold was clearly a bad movie of the year, and he sold it at a high price, equivalent to selling garbage for the price of a treasure.
How could it have become a hot topic online?
However, Director Xu didn't take it to heart. It was a bad movie from five years ago. The eyes of the public are sharp. If it could be a big hit, it would have been a big hit five years ago.
Could it be that five years later is a cycle, "Don't underestimate the changes in five years; the ugly duckling directly transforms into a swan on a branch?" Stop joking, that's impossible!
