Chapter 599 - 310: Ning Qiang: Review Bombing Me Is Useless! It Still Comes Down to Strength
"It’s Er Shi Xingchen Film and Television. We’re about to go to Beijing to meet the new boss," Sun Ji added.
That’s right. LeTV Film and Television was no more.
Now, there was only Er Shi Xingchen Film and Television.
[...]
The movie ended soon after, and Chen Jincheng took the three girls back to the hotel.
He had already screwed Little Su Fei all last night, so he didn’t plan on touching her tonight.
Consequently, he let Sun Yifan go back to rest early as well.
Without Little Su Fei to "join forces" with, she was a far cry from Li Xiaoyang.
After all, it was only the sunshine girl’s second time.
Sun Yifan, however, got the hint. After shooting him a glare, she pulled Little Su Fei away.
If Chen Jincheng wasn’t going to play with her, she would just play with Little Su Fei. She had already gotten what she wanted, anyway, and her perverse Symptom was getting a little more serious.
Tonight, Chen Jincheng would go and have his fun with Li Xiaoyang.
And she would have her fun with Little Su Fei, experiencing Chen Jincheng’s pleasure for herself.
"Ningning, don’t you do anything indecent tonight, or I won’t let you stay with me," Little Su Fei warned her bestie. She was just now realizing how incredibly lewd her friend had been these past two days.
Sun Yifan huffed coquettishly. "Honey, how could you say that? What do you mean, I’m too lewd? I’m obviously training you, teaching you how to please Chen Jincheng and make him like you. I’m even making a sacrifice by letting you use me as a substitute for him to practice on."
"Really?" Little Su Fei asked.
"Of course it’s true," said Sun Yifan.
Little Su Fei pressed, "Then why is your smile so dirty?"
[...]
Chen Jincheng soon led the sunshine girl, Li Xiaoyang, into her room.
Li Xiaoyang was still a little nervous, even though she had already given him her first time.
"I can have my fun to my heart’s content today, right?" The moment they entered, Chen Jincheng hugged Li Xiaoyang and sat her down on the bed.
Moreover, his technique was incredibly skillful. With his terrifying physique, you could even call him the top Kuaishou.
In any case, Li Xiaoyang found that in an instant, all her defenses were gone, tossed by him to the floor.
That night, Chen Jincheng truly had a wonderful time.
After all, with a girl he’d won over perfectly, he could be completely uninhibited the second time around. He could play all sorts of games and have all sorts of fun.
Especially when she frantically begged for mercy, saying she couldn’t take it anymore... that seductive expression was just to die for.
[...]
The next day, Chen Jincheng woke up early and pulled the girl, Li Xiaoyang, into an hour of "self-discipline."
"Boss, is it always this tiring to do... this?" Li Xiaoyang’s legs were weak as he carried her into the bathroom, and she couldn’t help but ask.
"How could it be? Don’t you know that besides my ’most devoted lover’ persona, your boss also has the title of ’number one fitness guru on the internet’?" Chen Jincheng immediately corrected the girl’s misconception. He added, "Simply put, I’m probably the only one online with the ability to make your legs so weak you can’t walk."
"Just tell me, did it feel good? Were you happy?"
Hearing this, Li Xiaoyang buried her face in his shoulder, too shy to answer the question.
’It did feel good, and I was very happy, but how could I say something like that out loud?’
When the two of them left the room, Li Xiaoyang’s already cheerful and sunny face was even more radiant. Such is the power of being well-nourished.
"Boss, why do you always wear one?" Li Xiaoyang asked him in a low voice.
"Safety!" Chen Jincheng explained.
"Isn’t it more comfortable without one? I don’t mind!" Li Xiaoyang said instinctively.
Chen Jincheng poked her on the forehead. "I’m afraid of creating a life."
"How could doing this cause..." Li Xiaoyang began to say instinctively, then suddenly realized what he meant. She hugged his arm and said coquettishly, "Boss, if that happens, I can have your baby for you."
"In your dreams." Chen Jincheng pinched her cheek, earning a coquettish huff from the girl.
He really hadn’t considered such things yet.
After the tragic lesson from his previous life, there was no way he would let himself be tied down by marriage in this one.
As for having children, he was still young and hadn’t thought about it at all.
’With my physique, as long as I stay healthy, I could probably wait until I’m 60 to have kids and it wouldn’t be too late.’
’Or if one day I do decide I want kids, and one of the girls is willing, it would have to be on the condition that it doesn’t restrict my freedom.’
’If it comes to that, and this sunshine girl in front of me is willing, I could give her a chance.’
’After all, she has kept herself pure, and she was 100% new when I got her. That’s always a considerable advantage.’
When they got to the restaurant to eat, he had just sat down when Sister Hong couldn’t help but praise him. "Boss, you’re amazing! You were right about both movies. The internet is full of praise for *Nameless* and criticism for *Huaxia Blue Helmets* right now."
"After the midnight premieres last night, *Huaxia Blue Helmets* was already flooded with negative reviews by this morning. Its Douban score has already dropped to just over 3 points."
Chen Jincheng wasn’t surprised. Just like in his previous life, it was impossible for anyone who had seen it to give it a good review.
He took out his phone and browsed the online reviews for the two movies:
*Nameless*:
"So good, I couldn’t stop laughing!"
"Haha, a must 10/10!"
"Chen Jincheng recommended it. I watched it and was very satisfied."
"Chen Jincheng has a unique eye. This movie is definitely better than *Huaxia Blue Helmets*."
"I feel like Chen Jincheng’s taste in movies is super awesome too."
"..."
*Huaxia Blue Helmets*:
"After watching, the phrase ’half-assed’ that Chen Jincheng used came to mind."
"What a piece of crap. Obvious plot holes right from the start."
"This director is less professional than Chen Jincheng. A pile of shit."
"This is what they call a big production? They should really let Chen Jincheng clean up the film industry."
"..."
When he said that the great Director Ning Qiang’s brain was mush, he wasn’t just talking nonsense. It really was a complete mess, with too many plot holes. The audience could see right through it.
Sister Hong then said, "Boss, there is one piece of bad news. *Huaxia Blue Helmets* had the highest box office for the midnight premieres, and it also has the highest presales for today. They’re going to lead the box office by a large margin on the first day, with a projected take of 25 million."
Chen Jincheng smiled. "Sister Hong, have you ever heard of a box office nosedive?"
’A 25 million box office for *Huaxia Blue Helmets* is much higher than in the other world. It’s probably because of the hype I generated.’
But the movie had too many plot holes and the production was too crude.
So, on the first day, the audience wouldn’t know any better. A lot of people would go see it just for the spectacle. The second day, however, would be a different story.
If a few people say a movie is bad, you might still go see it. But if 11 out of 10 people say it’s bad, then you’ll basically lose all interest in watching it.
Meanwhile, Ning Qiang also saw his midnight premiere box office and presale numbers. It brought a huge smile to his face, and he immediately told a friend, "Lao Zhuang, see? The first-day projection is 25 million. Based on the growth pattern and data, breaking 200 million in a week won’t be a problem."
"This figure might not compare to *Red Sea Operation*, but it will definitely crush everything else released at the same time. You were worried I’d be embarrassed by Chen Jincheng? Now he’s the one who’s going to be embarrassed."
"With these numbers, I’d like to see how he can still show his face in the film industry. I think it’s about time we made him sell LeTV Film and Television. An outsider like him doesn’t belong here."
But his friend reminded him, "Old Ning, I think you should still pay attention. There are too many negative reviews tonight. They’re all trashing your movie. The rating is already below 3."
"It dropped again?" Hearing this, Ning Qiang’s face darkened. ’This is going too far. Even if they’re using dirty tricks and review-bombing *Huaxia Blue Helmets*, there should be a limit.’
He believed in his movie; there was no way it could have so many bad reviews. The only explanation was that his opponents were smearing him.
Besides, the box office numbers were indirect proof that his movie wasn’t that bad.
As for his suspects, it was either *Nameless* or Chen Jincheng himself.
Still, he couldn’t just let them run rampant. He immediately took out his phone and posted on Weibo: "Making film is ultimately about skill. Don’t resort to so many underhanded tricks. Relying on review-bombing others is a petty tactic. The box office will speak for itself."
After sending the post, he felt much better. He knew that with a post like this, he didn’t need to name names; people would figure out who was review-bombing his movie.
Then, others would start flaming those people for him, and he wouldn’t even have to lift a finger.
"Director Ning, Director Ning, something’s happened! Quick, look at that Internet Celebrity Young Master’s Weibo!" An employee rushed into the room to report to Ning Qiang.
Ning Qiang looked at the employee with confusion. Seeing his Weibo homepage was still open, he directly searched for the Internet Celebrity Young Master’s account and, sure enough, saw he had made a new post.
But when he saw the content of the post, he cursed out loud, "How could he do this? Is he insane?"
