I’ll Add Points To All Things-Chapter 887 - The 10 Billion Best Actors

Chapter 887: The 10 Billion Best Actors

This Weibo post stirred a huge commotion.

After all, it was no simple honor to receive the title of the 10 Billion Best Actor!

Although the success of actors in the entertainment industry and the film industry had always been based on awards and acting skills, no one could ignore the importance of results.

Especially the box office, this was the most valuable result in the entertainment industry.

She had not seen so many popular celebrities. No matter how many trending searches and fans there were, as long as they appeared on the big screen, they would immediately show their true forms.

The big screen was the most important touchstone for an actor.

An actor would truly be outstanding if they were able to obtain a high box office appeal. Otherwise, they would only be a celebrity who would have to rely on traffic.

The former was the cornerstone of the industry, while the latter was just a one-trick pony.

10 Billion Best Actor, on the other hand, was a very important title.

At the time, no actor in the country had ever received such an honor.

Therefore, under the inspiration of this particular Weibo user, everyone started to search for information to find out who this actor was.

In the end, after everyone was checking and guessing, they were reminded by a netizen who was watching. ‘Is there even a need to check? It’s Su Yang and Wu Feng, isn’t it?’

At that moment, everyone suddenly realized what was happening!

Previously, everyone had been wondering who could have such a strong appeal and how many movies they had filmed to achieve such success. Hence, none of them expected for it to be Su Yang and Wu Feng!

The two of them had filmed “Wandering Planet” and “Wolf Warriors 2”, two movies that exceeded 5 billion yuan. They were the male lead and the second male lead respectively, so weren’t they the 10 Billion Best Actors!?

But… This doesn’t seem to be the same as what others previously thought of as “having filmed many movies, market appeal and acting skills”…

‘Could the two of them really be considered to be 10 Billion Best Actors?’

Because many people did not approve of it, all the platforms, websites, and apps were instantly filled with discussions about box office actors.

In the discussion, some netizens felt that compared to Huang Bo, who had produced many outstanding movies and used his superb acting skills to win over the audience, Su Yang and Wu Feng, who had become godlike beings with just one movie, seemed to have unstable foundations.

On the other hand, the netizens who supported Su Yang and Wu Feng rebutted those claims. ‘If actors can become gods with just a movie, it would be normal to say that they haven’t got stable foundations. However, if their second movie continues to break another record, they should be considered stable, right?”

‘Doesn’t this mean that they have the ability to appeal to the box office?

‘Moreover, having two movies that have box office earnings of more than 5 billion yuan in a row is much harder than 10 movies that have box office earnings of 1 billion. Seriously now!

‘After all, the latter could only be considered to be an outstanding movie, while the former is a divine work that could only be chanced upon by luck!’

Therefore, everyone started arguing about the value of the box office earnings.

The direct effect of this was that the box office earnings for “Wolf Warriors 2” were beginning to rise even faster as the arguments increased.

Li Zijun, who had noticed this phenomenon, did not miss out on the good opportunity either. She immediately changed the original publicity for “Wolf Warriors 2” to promote Su Yang and Wu Feng, who had a box office combination of 10 billion yuan. This attracted even more attention.

As such, the discussions on the internet became more and more intense. The box office earnings for “Wolf Warriors 2” also started to speed up even further!

After that, the debate went on. Netizens who felt that Su Yang and Wu Feng’s box office earnings were not worth mentioning could not win against the netizens who supported them. Hence, they decided to look for other ways to make up for it. They felt that although Su Yang and Wu Feng had some achievements, they did not win any award.

This meant that the two of them had not received the approval of the professionals, so they probably did not have any acting skills or gained the appeal of the box office!

After all, strictly speaking, the success of “Wandering Planet” and “Wolf Warriors 2” was not brought about by Su Yang and Wu Feng.

The netizens who supported Su Yang and Wu Feng were stunned when they saw this.

Just like what the netizens had said earlier, Wu Feng and Su Yang’s foundation was too shallow. Even though their results were outstanding, they exploded too quickly, which did not accumulate much.

This was even more so for Su Yang, who was only acting just for fun and influence. Furthermore, he had only been in the industry for a year and did not receive any awards.

Wu Feng, on the other hand, had been working hard in the film and television industry for 10 years. Among the five Chinese awards, he had only been nominated for the Best Supporting Role in the Golden Horse Awards in 2007 and had yet to receive an award.

In fact, even last year’s “Wolf Warrior” was ignored by several Chinese awards, except for a nomination for the Shanghai Film Festival…

Therefore, he had zero individual awards.

In China, one’s achievements were divided into two aspects. One was based on results, and the other was based on the evaluation of professionals in the industry. Sometimes, the evaluation within the industry was even more important than results.

After all, this was the approval of one’s peers.

On the other hand, Su Yang and Wu Feng only had results, but had yet to receive the approval of professionals, which was a rather awkward situation for them to be in.

This was also why even though the two of them had so many achievements, the netizens did not think that they were capable actors.

If the two of them had won heavyweight awards and had a few more representative works, then there would probably be no such criticism.

Meanwhile, when there was less controversy online, “Wolf Warriors 2” was released silently for another week. On the 36th day, it finally reached 5.4 billion yuan at the box office! It successfully surpassed the number one movie ever!

This result made all the arguments stop.

After all, in the face of such results, all the arguments were like jokes. Now was the time for the creation of a god!

Therefore, whether it was those who supported Su Yang, Wu Feng, or those who opposed Su Yang and Wu Feng, they all started to celebrate.

It was rare that Jiadian Pictures did not publish a poster at 1 billion yuan, but a sixth poster at 5.4 billion yuan!

On the poster, other than the huge figure of 5.4 billion, there was also a first place logo! Obviously, they were celebrating the movie’s success in the box office.

On this day of celebration, the only flaw was probably the dispute between Su Yang and Wu Feng. After all, the two actors with such high box office sales did not receive any award that was recognized by the industry. It was like a flaw on a piece of jade…

While Su Yang and Wu Feng’s fans were feeling regretful, another incident pushed Su Yang to the forefront.

When the box office for “Wolf Warriors 2” broke 5.4 billion yuan, a Weibo post suddenly revealed that Su Yang had privately made some inappropriate bets with an actress.

‘This actress has said in the WeChat group that Su Yang isn’t good enough and that it was all luck that he was able to make “Wandering Planet” . She thinks that “Wandering Planet” is the highest he can reach, and that he wouldn’t be able to surpass that height.’

‘Unexpectedly, someone took a screenshot of this chat history and sent it to Su Yang. In a fit of rage, Su Yang added this actress as a friend and made a bet with her.

‘The content of the bet was whether “Wolf Warriors 2” could surpass “Wandering Planet”. If it could not, Su Yang would apologize and pay the actress five million yuan. However, if it could surpass, the actress would run around naked and drink while handstanding.’

When the news was revealed, everyone on that Weibo post had used aliases like SY, “llxq”, and so on to avoid being “lawyered”.

However, anyone who saw the content would know that the person in question was Su Yang.

Hence, Pandora’s Box got flipped open because of this.

Su Yang had always had a positive image in everyone’s hearts. Hence, when they saw this piece of news, their first reaction was to be suspicious of Su Yang.

‘I wonder if this is fake.’

However, very soon, someone managed to dig out information about the actress and made claims to her identity.

Soon after, some people released the news that the actress had defamed Su Yang in a WeChat group.

When the netizens saw how the actress treated Su Yang, “Wandering Planet”, and “Wolf Warriors 2” with disdain, they were enraged.

However, after their anger subsided, they suddenly felt that if they were Su Yang, they might confront the actress after reading the content.

After all, in “Mushroom House”, Su Yang left everyone with the impression that although he was gentle, he was a very proud person.

Especially since he was still young, it was possible for him to confront others and form a bet…

However, they thought nothing of it. After all, both parties were getting impatient, so it was only normal for them to make bets, so long as the matter did not end up blowing up too much.

Therefore, even though everyone gradually believed that it was true, they did not pay much attention to it.

But, at that moment, a lot of pictures and videos of this actress running around naked appeared online!

On the public platform, these photos were all censored, but on some of the popular websites, forums, they were all… Raw.

The actress’ eyes were filled with hatred, and the video was filled with her curses. She said that some people were pushing her too far, and she had already done as they said, so she hoped that they would not harm her any further!

With this, the matter blew up.

With the help of someone, news of Su Yang forcing the actress to take a video of her running naked and drinking while handstanding spread like wildfire.

Due to Su Yang’s current status and influence, large platforms and media outlets did not dare to publish such content. However, there were always some small media outlets and small public accounts that felt that Su Yang could not notice them, so they secretly posted such content.

After all, not only did people pay for the content, there was also traffic, which easily hit 100,000+.

At that moment, Su Yang’s reputation plummeted.

Actually, Little Deeny and Li Zijun had already noticed the news when Su Yang made a bet with the actress on the internet. Li Zijun immediately started to deal with the related news and greeted the media. This effectively suppressed the spread of the news.

However, there were too many entertainment accounts and public accounts online. It was not something that could be solved immediately.

Furthermore, from the beginning, Su Yang was just a victim, and the actress was the one who was being distasteful. Hence, although Li Zijun paid more attention to this matter and had been following up on its progress, she did not stop the news from spreading.

However, no one expected the follow-up actress to really be forced by Su Yang to make a video of Guo Ben. With that, the tables had turned.

If he wanted to deal with it now, it would be even harder.

Hence, Li Zijun gave Su Yang a call and explained the situation. She wanted to know the truth.

Su Yang was dumbfounded after listening to Li Zijun’s explanation.

“What? I made a bet with someone? And forced her to run around naked?

“How is that possible?

“Why would I do such a thing for

“What’s so good about running around naked? It’s not like she’s running in front of me.

“These are all rumors.”

When Li Zijun heard Su Yang’s reply, she furrowed her brows and realised the problem. However, the most important thing now was to deal with this matter. Hence, after she hung up the phone, she quickly came up with a plan.

Soon, a plan was sent to Su Yang’s email.

Su Yang was shocked when he saw Li Zijun’s plan.

Because… It seems to be a little too much. ‘It’s just some negative public opinion, is there really a need to be so ruthless?

‘Still… If things proceed according to this plan, the issue would be resolved once and for all.

‘I won’t have to worry about such things anymore.’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang showed the plan to Little Deeny and Zhao Licheng. After both of them agreed, he picked up his phone and called Mr. Ma.

Shortly after, the call went through.

Mr. Ma’s relaxed and happy voice came through the phone. “Mr. Su, is something the matter? You seem very free recently.”

Ever since Su Yang defeated Japan and helped Mr. Ma deal with Nindentou, the latter had been extremely friendly towards Su Yang.

He looked like he really wanted to be Su Yang’s brother, sworn brothers even!

Su Yang did not stand on ceremony with him. After all, he was a reputable person. It was a good thing that he was passionate about him, so there was no need to be pretentious.

Therefore, he said, “I’ve been quite free recently, so I wanted to have a chat with you, Brother Ma.”

After that, he asked, “By the way, how are things with Nindentou?”

Mr. Ma did not hide anything from Su Yang. He said, “It’s been settled. The agreement has been signed and we have started an in-depth collaboration. We can use their various IPs. For example, I plan to put Pikachu, a famous iPhone, in one of our mobile games.”

‘Pikachu…

‘In a mobile game…’

Su Yang could not help but recall the scene of a yellow-skinned mouse moving around in the Summoner’s Rift.

‘That would look…

‘Not that great actually.

‘However, Brother Ma wouldn’t do such a weird thing, right?’

At the thought of this, Su Yang did not dare to think too much about it. He quickly dismissed the matter from his mind and started to talk about the serious matter. “Brother Ma, I have something to talk to you about. It’s regarding your WeChat public accounts…”

No one knew what the two of them were talking about. All they knew was that these were important matters to many people. It was a domain where one did not know how to feed one’s family. To the two of them, it was just a simple conversation.

This was how the world worked. Sometimes, a word from the people on the top of the hierarchy could cause a huge change below…

Over the next two days, be it WeChat or Weibo, they both received a lawyer’s letter from Jiadian Group. Every fake account was included within the lawyer’s letter, requesting to have their contents deleted, and their accounts banned.

Because Su Yang’s current status was different from before, and he had even called ahead of time, the two websites dealt with it very quickly. In just half a day, everything disappeared.

However, the Internet has memories, and the disappearance of content did not mean that it was all over…
