Chen Fei Media had only been established for less than two years. Even with the addition of its predecessor, Lu Chen Studio, it had not been more than four years in the entertainment industry. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a new recruit in the industry.
However, it was precisely this new recruit who, under the leadership of Lu Chen, had created a series of dazzling achievements in the entertainment industry, and had attacked in many directions, showing the powerful momentum of a future big media.
Chen Fei Media was a company owned by Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er. It was a typical husband and wife business. Because it was not a listed company, there was no obligation to disclose its performance to the public. How much money it had made, apart from the relevant people inside the company, perhaps only the national tax authorities would know.
There were also many speculations about the profitability of Chen Fei Media. One of the more authoritative inferences was that in just last year, Chen Fei Media's profit was at least between 400 million and 500 million.
This level of profitability had crushed more than half of the listed companies. Many large companies with tens of thousands of employees did not earn as much as Chen Fei Media.
There were also professional organizations that had evaluated the brand appeal of Lu Chen and believed that Lu Chen's commercial value was about 5 billion, ranking first in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Although Chen Fei Media and Lu Chen himself did not respond to these speculations and assessments, in the eyes of many people in the industry, there was no doubt that Lu Chen's ability to make money was strong.
He had made so much money and was worth so much money. It was impossible for no one to be jealous of him!
However, Lu Chen had never had any black marks on him. Not long after his debut, he fell in love with Chen Fei 'er. The relationship between the two was very stable and they became the model couple in the entertainment industry that everyone envied.
Lu Chen's works, whether it was music or film, were all original. He did not plagiarize or follow the trend. He always led the trend. His talent was outstanding and unparalleled. Even if the haters wanted to criticize him, they could not find anything.
Most importantly, although he made a lot of money, he never flaunted it. He also invested a huge amount of money to set up Chen Fei Charity Foundation and helped many sick children.
How could they criticize him?
In addition, within the circle, Lu Chen's personality was also well-known for being modest and magnanimous. He never acted like a big shot, never put on airs, and never spoke ill of people on his blog, even if the other party was deliberately creating trouble to gain popularity.
This kind of Lu Chen really made his opponents feel despair.
This time, the strong competition between Wanhao Pictures and Chenfei Media in the movie industry finally allowed people to catch something. Hence, under the situation where Chenfei Media continued to remain silent and did not launch a counterattack against "Young Pugilistic World", many people became excited and active.
Some media outlets were paid, some media outlets were trying to get attention, and some media outlets just didn't like it … Plus, some people were secretly adding fuel to the fire. There was a wave of people belittling The Smiling, Proud Wanderer in the circle.
[The Smiling, Proud Wanderer has been delayed. It will not be released in the summer!]
[Insider information, the crew of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer is having a conflict with the director!]
[According to the current information, The Smiling, The Proud Swordsman might miss the National Day slot.]
[The Smiling, Proud Wanderer is facing difficulties in production due to the high difficulty of production.]
…
Several big web portals had a cooperative relationship with Chenfei Media. There was no negative news about Chenfei Media and the crew of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, but many other small and medium media, especially self-media, were much more unscrupulous.
As the promotion of "Young Pugilistic World" became more and more aggressive, there was more and more negative news about "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", which was forwarded to blogs, forums, and QQ groups.
To those who didn't know the truth, it was easy to have the illusion that the upcoming "Young Pugilistic World" was the real masterpiece of the new martial arts movie!
Everyone knew that Wanhao Pictures was definitely behind the scenes. They were never stingy with their funds on promotion. For the box office of this blockbuster movie, it was normal for them to carry out a series of operations.
But others could not get anything to use against Wanhao Pictures, because Wanhao Pictures had never purposely targeted anyone with their publicity for "Young World's Adventures in the Pugilistic World." They boasted about themselves and did not belittle their opponents. They used open and aboveboard tactics.
With two lines working together, one in the open and the other in the dark, it was easy to imagine the momentum created. "Young Pugilistic World" became extremely popular and became the new representative of domestic movies.
No matter how much publicity Wanhao Pictures gave, Chenfei Media just stood by and watched. No matter how hard it was, they didn't do anything. They basically didn't do any publicity for The Smiling, The Proud Wanderer. They only released a few stills occasionally.
All of a sudden, "Young Pugilistic World" had the feeling of being the only one to lose in the promotion of the summer movie. Even the two American blockbusters that were also going to be released during the summer were at a disadvantage.
However, Chenfei Media had their own reasons for not fighting back. Because "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" was scheduled to be released during the National Day slot. There was no schedule conflict with "Young Pugilistic World", and there was no direct competition, so they could completely put on a high profile.
But "Young Pugilistic World" was not the only domestic martial arts movie that was released during the summer!
Just as "Young Pugilistic World" became popular on the internet, Gu Lei, who had almost disappeared a while ago, suddenly jumped out and ridiculed Huo Feile on his personal blog.
This time, Gu Lei must have changed a publicity planner. His blog post was quite interesting. Although everyone knew that he was ridiculing Huo Feile, Huo Feile's name wasn't in the blog post, but it was full of ridicule.
Gu Lei did have a reason to mock Huo Feile, because he was a hardcore action star. It was very suitable for him to act in a martial arts film. However, if a sissy were to act as a heroic hero, wouldn't it be hilarious?
As soon as Gu Lei started to ridicule Huo Feile, it immediately attracted a lot of gunfire. The fans of Huo Feile who were provoked by his blog post immediately exploded and swarmed over to fight back.
This was exactly what Gu Lei wanted. He continuously posted three tough blog posts to strengthen his firepower. At the same time, he didn't forget to promote "The New Three Heroes and Five Righteous", which was released one week later than "Young Pugilistic World".
Some people said that in the entertainment industry, one had to be thick-skinned and black-hearted enough. Gu Lei was undoubtedly one of the best. Everyone knew that he was trying to get attention, but it was really admirable for him to be so fearless and try to get attention.
In the end, Huo Feile couldn't stay calm anymore. He personally went on stage and ridiculed Gu Lei.
It wasn't over yet. While the two sides were fighting fiercely, another martial arts movie, "Pugilistic World Wanderer", which was also released during the summer, joined in.
Someone commented, "Jianghu is in chaos."
