Accidental love

Chapter 390 Counterattack

If the box office revenues of Memories were truly as low as what the outside world had predicted, it would undoubtedly affect Jack's status in Dahlia Entertainment. Perhaps, a few people would come out to doubt his ability and decision-making power.

The more it was at this time, the greater Anna's pressure became, for she was the person who wanted to prove Jack's vision most in the whole world! He would always be the unshakable ruler in this sector, and no one could surpass him.

But... the situation seemed to be getting more and more unpleasant.

And someone, who claimed to be an insider, even posted a thread online, saying that he once worked in some film crew and had a few good friends in the sector, so he had already watched the post-edited film and said that Anna's acting was a complete mess, she was just a beautiful woman who knew nothing, and all the wonderful parts of the film were in the one-minute trailer, and he advised that people had better not go and watch it.

Initially, such a thread would never cause disturbance online, but the publishing time was just one day before the premiere. Besides, the person had given three reasons why the film was not worth watching, with the true and false reasons mixed, and his exaggerated remarks were quite eye-catching.

In addition, the major bloggers republished the thread for the sake of catching eyeballs and gaining popularity... movie fans would be more or less affected by such remarks.

It seemed that from this moment on, Memories had been pronounced a bad movie.

Who else but its rivals were those who could make such a big scheme behind the scenes? To get high box office revenues, they resorted to unscrupulous divisive tactics. In this way, they trampled on Dahlia Entertainment really hard.

With all kinds of bad situations taken into account, the premiere of Memories was really worrying. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Regan Yan found that the company had not made a response yet, so he published a part of his new dance and also told the fans in the way of republishing the video in the end that he would randomly select 100 people from the fans who did the republishing and give away the tickets of Memories, extending his gratitude to those who supported him and the elder Anna, who was in the same league as him and once helped him.

The designed style of Regan Yan as a star was a person who was close to the people, so the fans quite approved of what he did, thinking that Regan Yan was very affectionate.

Of course, the fans themselves didn't expect much from the movie. They would go only because they wanted to support their idol.

After that, the promoting method of Image was completely the way Memories had used. Wherever Anna’s film crew went, they followed it with all kinds of means. They followed Dahlia Entertainment closely and would not let go of it, for they wanted to use this opportunity to improve the influence of their company and its status in the world of performing arts.

Who would have thought that Dahlia Entertainment would also make bad movies? Since this was such a good opportunity, surely, they would not let it go.

"Which company made Image! How could the method be so disgusting? It is like a copycat!" Lucy said angrily as she watched the news. As a person being frank by nature, she couldn't help it at such a moment.

"It seems that an advertising agency which transformed made it," Anna responded quite indifferently.

"I heard from Bill that the company is now in a crazily busy state. The Publicity Department and Public Relations Department have been working overtime continuously, but the general situation seems to

have not been changed by it. If this continues, the box office revenues will really..."

"This is a tough battle indeed." Anna put down her mobile phone, having a little worry in her eyes.

For her, the box office revenues were not the most important thing, for she just didn't want to see that Jack's effort and dream were destroyed by such an unscrupulous method.

"Now I'm going to mobilize all my relatives and friends to watch it!" As she spoke, Lucy picked up her mobile phone to send messages. Seeing that Lucy was busy, Anna, who was worried, still couldn't get relieved.

…… ...

The office of the president of Dahlia Entertainment

Rick put the latest date report on Jack's table. Remembering the method of Image's investors, he wanted to laugh so much. "They are really working hard on promotion, and they are helping us with free advertising."

"What moves have the directors of the board made?"

"They have done nothing and seem to know that these people are doing something disastrous," Rick answered in amusement. He was more and more looking forward to seeing the expression of the other party at the last minute.

He liked such a challenging job most. The name Dahlia Entertainment only always meant that the company could win every battle in the world of performing arts. It could defeat its rivals quite easily and win without taking efforts every time. Then, this time it could be counted as a brand-new experience.

The methods its rivals used were too low-end. Not to mention Jack, even he and Bill didn't feel like caring about them.

Although the great trend of not watching Memories had formed in the outside world, those who were sitting in the office of Dahlia Entertainment were quite calm because they knew that Dahlia Entertainment would never lose.

Since they wanted to use Dahlia Entertainment as their stepping-stone, they had to be prepared to trip and fall.

"Tomorrow's premiere will go as planned. Add two more in prime time," Jack glanced at the data report on the table coldly and said in a cold tone.

"Do we need to avoid the other party in terms of the screening time?"

"No need... their movie has broken plots and very poor special effects, so will viewers go and watch it in the next show after the premiere?" Jack said quite affirmatively.

The other party was skilled at advertising, was smart at marketing, and had strategies, but unfortunately, they knew nothing about the trading field of the film industry and had chosen a wrong competitor.

Dahlia Entertainment did not care about the box office revenues of the premiere because it was confident in the quality of its movie. When the movie was screened the second day and the third day, the revenue data would increase dramatically, but Image accumulated its popularity by relying on the stars. Now the movie was so highly appreciated because of its promotion, but when the first viewers left the theater, it was time that their box office revenues began to drop.

The blind hype was just the path leading to their failure.

"Okay, I will immediately contact the major theaters."

Jack had been in the world of performing arts for years. He got today's position by using his brain and the tactics of controlling the general situation. He never refused to play games with his enemies. Like all other men, he liked the pleasant sensation of conquering something and the look of his rival fleeing in desperation after the game was over.

Finally, the premiere date came!

The two movies premiered almost at the same time. Thanks to the super promotion of Image, its premiere viewing theaters were almost full, and it was difficult to even get a ticket. No matter how terrible its plots were and no matter how poor the performance of the actors and actresses was, there were fans who would praise it. The great trend of such commercial films was one of the current situations in the film sector. In contrast, the revenues of Memories were quite average, but no one knew that Jack had invited a group of film experts to the VIP viewing room in one of the movie theaters. Among them, there were the most influential film critics and directors in the current film sector, and there were also several major bloggers with marketing accounts. What he wanted was the sharp rise of the box office revenues from today on!

One hour after the premiere, the box office revenue gap between the two movies was quite large, but the audience's praise of the movies was an inverse proportion gap!

Those who had viewed Image came because of their idols. When they walked out of the theater, they only held an expression that they crazily adored their idols, saying that someone or another was so handsome, and then they took selfies crazily in front of the huge poster.

The others regretted buying the tickets and complained that the plots were rubbish, the acting of the actors and actresses was bad...
