Chapter 46
"No, I like to keep a low profile."
Upon hearing this, the salesgirl's eyes were filled with even more admiration.
Low-key?
Shouldn't handsome guys of this age like to show off their wealth and attract attention?
Could it be that this is the legendary well-educated rich second generation?
Well-educated, rich, and handsome, he is really a top-notch man!
Oh my God!
Little brother, can you look at me.
Thinking of this, a blush passed through the salesgirl's face.
However, despite her thoughts, she still honestly introduced the car to Chen Xiao.
After picking for more than ten minutes, Chen Xiao stood in front of the black Maybach S-Class and nodded with satisfaction.
Handsome, but not as eye-catching as a sports car
"This is it."
After deciding, Chen Xiao paid the full amount of 3.38 million.
Because he had to go through the insurance procedures, he had to pick up the car tomorrow.
After completing the formalities, he pushed the door and left.
Behind him, a young lady stared at his back blankly, then looked down at the photo she had just taken secretly, and said to her colleague:"Is this Chen Xiao?"
"You know what, they really look alike!"
""Go check the registration procedures." The two young ladies rushed over excitedly and saw that Chen Xiao was actually written on the procedures.
They looked at each other and then screamed excitedly.
"Oh my god, he is so easy to talk to! And he is so low-key"
"I am going crazy, ahhh, he is so handsome."
The two young ladies were excited for a while, and quickly posted on WeChat Moments and Weibo to praise Chen Xiao.
Of course, they did not dare to reveal the news that Chen Xiao would come to pick up the car tomorrow.
《Titanic just broke a record yesterday, and any news about it would cause heated discussions.
So when Chen Xiao's raw photos were exposed on the Internet, with the help of the media, they were forwarded nearly a million times in just one hour.
"The words"Chen Xiaoshengtu" directly topped the trending searches, causing countless little fans to scream
"He has a great figure!"
"She has a great temperament, and her posture is so elegant and cool."
"Sorry, Leo, I need to climb the wall!"
"Director Chen, please act in a TV series, the kind that you can secretly watch at night [erotic]"
""Get out! Don't say that about my Xiaoxiao!"
As the raw photos spread, Chen Xiao's number of Weibo fans soared from 20.21 million to 24.51 million in half a day.
He became the director with the most Weibo fans!
Other big directors who were on Weibo were speechless when they saw this.
Alas, hard work can't beat being handsome.
The next day, Chen Xiao picked up the car smoothly.
Because the rented house had no garage, he moved back to his parents' home first.
After chatting with his mother for a while, he returned to his room, turned on the computer, and quickly wrote a detailed version of the script.
While he was writing quietly.
The Internet was in turmoil.
The discussion about his raw photos had just cooled down, and someone broke the news that"Titanic" had registered for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival.
《Titanic was already a hot favorite.
The main competition unit of the Cannes International Film Festival is even more legendary in the film industry.
Because it is extremely difficult to be nominated and win an award.
Every year, the number of films shortlisted for the main competition unit adds up to more than 20 films worldwide.
Three years ago, a domestic film was shortlisted for the main competition unit.
In the past three years, no domestic films have been shortlisted.
So far, no domestic film has won the highest award.
So, when Titanic was combined with the Cannes Film Festival, it was like a bomb thrown into the lake, causing huge waves on the Internet and in the film and television industry.
"《Titanic" is worth it! Support!"
"The shortlist will be announced on the 20th. There are still 11 days left. I am going to burn incense and pray for Wenwen!"
"Best Director Award! Xiaoxiao deserves it!"
"What is the dream upstairs? This is not the Golden Rooster Award, how can it be so easy to win?"
"The courage is commendable, but... I hope Director Chen will not be devastated by the blow."
"In previous years, there were few popular films in the Cannes main competition unit. They seemed to be more art films."
"A romantic film, a mere diamond advertisement, and it still wants to be shortlisted for the main competition unit, dream on"
……
At the same time, in a film review studio called"Xunjie", three young people sat around a small round table and quickly discussed articles commenting on the matter.
Posting articles on the cusp of the trend is like picking up money!
Especially articles with unique viewpoints and quite convincing.
Once written, it is like picking up money with a sack!
Three hours later.
The Xunjie Film Review Studio published an article on major platforms titled"In-depth Analysis: How can the popular movie Titanic be accepted by the mainstream?"
This studio has a total of 4.72 million fans on various platforms.
The title is ornate and seems to be of a certain level at first glance, but it also has the nature of provoking war.
As soon as the article came out, it immediately caught the attention of the crowd, and many netizens clicked in to read it.
In the article, this studio wrote
"Titanic did break box office records and had great entertainment value"
"But it's just a love story! It's a story of a little love, not a big love, but a disaster."
"It is just popular, not highbrow"
"The Cannes Film Festival values artistic expression and artistic value"
"Does it have artistic value? Undoubtedly, no."
"However, let me say one last thing. I do not deny its entertainment value, but I do not think it is high art. It is destined to be unworthy of being accepted by the public.
The comments below the article are clearly divided into two camps.
One camp said that they had already felt the same way.
《Titanic is just a love story, just like the game, it is entertainment.
The game company has an annual income of hundreds of billions, is it art?
Definitely not.
The other group strongly opposes that Titanic is touching and is definitely not a fast-food brain-teasing film and television work.
……
When the Internet was hot,
Chen Xiao was still busy sorting out the script.
He had just finished sorting out the plot of Xiao Douzi and others' childhood, and was about to get up to pour a cup of coffee when his cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Wang Zhan's call.
"Mr. Wang, good afternoon."
"Xiao Chen, have you seen the news online?"
"I see it"
"I didn't tell any unreliable people, I don't know how it got out. Don't worry, I've asked someone to remove the trending search."
Chen Xiao chuckled and shook his head.
Wang Zhan's tone was worried, it seemed that he was worried that he would misunderstand and think that it was Wang Zhan who said it.
He didn't think it was Wang Zhan who said it, probably the candidate for the opera promotional video said it the day before yesterday.
But he didn't plan to hide this matter, it would be better if it was exposed.
That's the emotional value!
Now some media are leading the public opinion, making netizens pessimistic about"Titanic".
When it is nominated and wins, it will shock netizens again.
The less optimistic it is now, the more intense their emotions will be when it is nominated and wins.
It's definitely a good thing!
"Mr. Wang, can you please not remove the trending search?"
"ah?"
"Thank you for thinking of me, but I want to ask, is it convenient to cancel the operation of removing the trending search?"
On the other side of the phone, Wang Zhan was a little confused.
Not removing the trending search?
This kid and the movie are already very popular, there is no need to blacken them.
Is he a masochist? Looking for scolding?
Just when he was puzzled, he heard Chen Xiao's voice again on the phone.
"I want to leave everyone some space for freedom of speech."
Wang Zhan rolled his eyes.
Who would believe it?
"Is it convenient to tell the truth?"
"I like the feeling of public opinion turning around, waiting for the nomination and the award, and enjoying everyone's praise"
"……"
Nominated and won?
Are you kidding?
Suddenly I feel that the explanation of freedom of speech is very reasonable.
Okay, young people will always fall.
So let him be, anyway, the company wants the box office, and the public opinion about Cannes doesn't matter.
"OK, then I'll inform my secretary that I won't withdraw."
"Thank you, Mr. Wang."
However, what neither Wang Zhan nor Chen Xiao expected was that the producer did not remove the trending search.
The Ministry of Culture actually stepped in directly and suppressed the negative public opinion!
