Chapter 339 Exploding Word of Mouth

And so, a wave of "War Wolf" fever swept across the country.

Almost overnight, the movie "War Wolf" became a household name, a phenomenon.

Amidst this fiery tide, Lu Xuan had no choice but to end his brief rest and begin a roadshow across the country.

Before, Aunt Liu had to coordinate the locations for the roadshows.

But this time, most of them were contacted by friends or the external relations departments of universities who wanted them to come for roadshows.

This shift directly demonstrated the change in "War Wolf" within the domestic market.

Li Hao's grandfather was the one who ultimately approved the successful release of "War Wolf," so the success of "War Wolf" had him smiling ear-to-ear lately.

After all, this kind of patriotic main theme movie was not favored by the domestic film market before, and every production seemed to result in a loss.

Previously, one could still see the support from the military in this area, but seeing the poor promotional effect, that support gradually dwindled.

Now, Li Hao's grandfather was undoubtedly the pioneer who reopened this field.

So, the better the market response, the better it demonstrated his foresight.

At his age, it was a little difficult to move up any further, but such a happy occasion could be used to brag when drinking with old friends!

At this point, Li Hao's grandfather was already considering pushing for a second installment.

Lu Xuan, on the other hand, began his roadshow among various universities.

He discovered that it was actually the students in these universities who had the greatest enthusiasm for "War Wolf."

Almost every university he went to saw the meeting rooms packed, with some people even willing to stand in the corridors to watch their roadshow.

And the photo session after the roadshow was even more of a long queue.

After leaving one university, Lu Xuan sat in the van and said to Su Yao with some emotion.

"It seems that these people are the cornerstone of our country's future development!"

Su Yao asked with some confusion.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because their hearts are red, and during their time in university, their minds have been well-cultivated."

"Not only are they of high quality, but they also have a light in their eyes, daring to speak and daring to think."

"Like the boy who asked me a question during the roadshow just now, asking me about my views on the future of Chinese films."

"After I finished my point of view, his final summary and personal thoughts showed that he was really thinking seriously about this matter."

After listening to Lu Xuan's words, Su Yao nodded and said.

"That's true, after all, they read so many books. In the industry now, you can also see these college students who have left the campus saying no to those unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, which is a very good sign."

The two began to discuss this topic.

But after a while, Lu Xuan's voice became smaller and smaller, gradually disappearing altogether.

He leaned on Su Yao and fell asleep.

Su Yao noticed that Lu Xuan had fallen asleep and touched his face with some heartache.

Lu Xuan had been working non-stop during this period.

Moreover, in order to better promote "War Wolf," he also showcased his skills during the roadshow.

Although the effect was better, it was still a relatively large drain on Lu Xuan's physical strength.

However, the effect of the roadshow was very good, so Lu Xuan had been persisting.

The van drove on the highway, and by the time it got dark, they had arrived at the next university.

Su Yao had originally wanted to let Lu Xuan sleep in the car for a while longer, but she didn't expect Lu Xuan to wake up on his own.

Looking at Lu Xuan with his sleepy eyes, Su Yao felt a little distressed and said softly.

"Do you want to sleep for a while longer?"

"There's no rush."

Lu Xuan stretched and said.

"No way, we've already agreed on a time with people, let's hurry over."

"After this one is done, we'll have to take a plane to the next city tonight. These people's invitations are too dense. If we're any later, I'm afraid the movie's run will be over and our roadshows won't be finished."

Since Lu Xuan insisted on doing this, Su Yao had no choice but to let Lu Xuan get out of the car.

Just as Lu Xuan was working hard for the roadshow, the smear pieces about War Wolf were already spreading like wildfire on the internet.

Although the movie "War Wolf" was mostly about individual heroism, it did show a small part of patriotism.

And this patriotism was a thorn in the side for some people.

After all, some people had already become spiritual Americans or spiritual Japanese from the education they received since childhood.

In their eyes, only other countries are the most powerful, and only other countries can make excellent movies.

Now that Lu Xuan had made such a film, in their opinion, it should be condemned.

But it just so happened that the film was very well received on the internet, and the box office was getting higher and higher, already showing the momentum to reach the top of the domestic box office.

This made it really impossible for them to accept that such a patriotic movie could achieve such great success.

So they all went online to bash the movie.

"This movie looks like it was hyped up, and it's a blatant political movie. You see, our country's flag appears many times in this movie, and every time I see the flag, I feel disgusted."

"I really can't imagine what kind of mental state the director was in when he made this movie. I feel very uncomfortable when I see this movie."

"Because it's really too disgusting, how can a Chinese person be able to beat so many people?"

"When directors make movies, don't they look at the logic in the movies?"

"For a movie like this to be shown is really embarrassing. You can really see how rotten our domestic movies are now."

"So many people in the country are actually flattering it, it's really disgusting."

"Our Chinese movies are really too dark. I don't know when Chinese movies will be able to produce精品(jīngpǐn) movies like Hollywood. I don't think there's any hope. I must immigrate to the beautiful country in the future."

Such comments occupied the high ground of the entertainment industry in a short period of time, and some water armies were even fueling the flames.

They wanted to pin these comments to the top and even affect the public's perception of the film.

After all, that's what they had done before. As long as there were enough negative comments, they could curb new users who wanted to continue watching the movie.

Moreover, people who had seen the movie before would also begin to doubt their previous decisions because of more and more negative news.
