Granny Rong's Matching Head Balloon

Lin Chuan spoke with a very calm expression.

Xiao Hei, however, felt an inexplicable chill run down his spine.

He shivered and realized Ren Hang, that idiot, was blowing air down his neck.

Xiao Hei raised his hands in surrender. "I'll never dare to provoke you again. Who could possibly provoke you!"

Ren Hang quickly chimed in, "Anyone who provokes Brother Chuan, even earthworms would be split in half by him, and eggs would be shaken until the yolk and white mixed!"

Lin Chuan laughed and cursed, "Get lost, both of you!"

At the same time, he felt a slight bitterness in his heart. Just now, Lin Chuan had gotten a little too into character.

He had planned to look cool.

To his surprise, not only did he fail to look cool.

He almost dug out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment with his toes.

After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they went to an internet cafe and played until late at night before finally returning to the dormitory.

Ren Hang and Xiao Hei, exhausted, fell asleep the moment their heads hit their pillows.

But Lin Chuan, with his bonus of several hundred Stamina Value, lay on his dorm bed and began editing his Weibo.

A few minutes later, Lin Chuan posted a Weibo:

[Dear viewers, today my good friend Ren Hang was unfortunately attacked by popcorn while watching the movie The House That Never Dies.

We understand the feelings of that hot-tempered gentleman, so we will not pursue the matter.

However, Ms. Lin, the lead actress of The House That Never Dies.

Has adamantly claimed that this was a smear campaign orchestrated by us.

I guarantee to all of you with my personal integrity that this was merely a coincidence.

For the damage to our reputation, we will seek a solution through legal channels.

We kindly ask anyone who was in the cinema at the time to extend a helping hand and help us prove our innocence.

My contact information is XXXX XXXX XXX.

Additionally, Ms. Lin claims that anyone giving The House That Never Dies a bad review is a paid shill.

I believe this statement is somewhat biased.

I am personally willing to offer 600,000 yuan to reimburse the movie ticket costs for 10,000 viewers who have watched The House That Never Dies.

You only need to present your movie ticket stub and prove that you are an ordinary viewer.

To participate, leave a comment under this Weibo post.

You can use this money to treat yourself to a meal, hot pot, or buy some snacks.

As a member of the film industry, I hope this small amount of money can compensate for some of your emotional distress.

Please do not lose faith in our domestic films!

I believe everyone who has seen Happy Family knows that Happy Family is a film that focuses on family warmth.

I will offer another one million yuan for an essay contest, asking you to write about your time spent with your family.

The writing style is not limited.

This contest will be held in a few days, so please do not rush.]

Soon, a large number of viewers left comments on Lin Chuan's Weibo:

"I'm from Sichuan, here's my ticket stub. My girlfriend and I watched The House That Never Dies together. I was furious halfway through. The comment with many likes earlier was from my girlfriend!"

"Holy crap, the brother upstairs is a tough guy!"

"I'm from Jilin Province, heh, I was blind to watch the movie starring Ms. Lin. Here's the ticket stub."

"I'm from Excavator Province..."

"I'm from Yang Province..."

"I'm from Guilan Province..."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves.

A large number of netizens posted their movie ticket stubs in the comment section.

The netizens' evaluations of The House That Never Dies were surprisingly consistent.

They spoke of their viewing experiences with gnashing teeth.

#LinChuanRefundsTicketsForViewersWhoWatchedTheHouseThatNeverDies#

#TheHouseThatNeverDiesCrewIsPlayingDead#

#HappyFamily# and other trending topics.

was firmly occupying the Weibo hot search list.

The total views had already surpassed 100 million.

In fact, ever since Lin Gege attacked Happy Family.

Many people in the film industry began to observe.

The quality of Happy Family was evident to all.

And everyone also had a clear understanding of the quality of The House That Never Dies.

Originally, many films scheduled to be released at the same time as Happy Family had already prepared themselves to be completely overshadowed by Happy Family at the box office.

But no one expected.

Lin Gege would suddenly appear and throw mud at the Happy Family production crew.

Many felt a sense of schadenfreude.

At the same time, they secretly hoped that Lin Gege could bring down Happy Family.

Allowing them, the films released concurrently, to also get a share of the profits.

But to everyone's surprise, she folded immediately.

Many filmmakers secretly resented Lin Gege.

What do you mean you're backing down already?

Step up, get energized, don't lose face!

However, Lin Gege seemed to have turned into a shrinking turtle, entering a self-imposed shutdown.

Regardless of how sarcastically the audience commented, she simply didn't enable the comments section.

If Lin Gege's involvement demonstrated to the public what a disastrous PR campaign looked like.

Then Lin Chuan personally demonstrated what a textbook-level PR campaign was.

Lin Chuan first clarified the popcorn incident, stating it was not self-directed.

In fact, judging from Lin Gege's guilty conscience in deleting her Weibo posts.

She was clearly slandering Lin Chuan.

Secondly, Lin Chuan seized upon Lin Gege's weakness. You said that those giving The House That Never Dies bad reviews were all bots?

Look at these angry viewers in the comments section.

Tell me, are they bots?

Keep in mind, The House That Never Dies had an astronomical marketing budget.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have secured such a high number of screenings during the National Day holiday.

But Lin Chuan's move, like deflecting a boulder with a feather, easily attracted the audience of The House That Never Dies.

Of course, many filmmakers felt Lin Chuan was still too inexperienced.

Why compensate these viewers with cash?

Why not communicate with the cinemas and offer 10,000 tickets as compensation to these viewers?

It would also promote their own film.

Saving a significant marketing expense!

And one day later, Lin Gege posted an apology statement on Weibo.

Many netizens who had their ticket money reimbursed chose to go to the cinema.

To watch Happy Family.

Initially, these netizens who had been ripped off by The House That Never Dies had lost all interest in going to the cinema again.

However, after receiving compensation from Lin Chuan, they genuinely wanted to see.

What kind of movie would be produced by this filmmaker with such good character.

Netizens who hadn't been reimbursed also heard about a movie called Happy Family.

Thus, three days after its release, Happy Family reached over 100 million at the box office!

Late at night, at the villa in Taiwan.

Lin Gege's face was haggard.

She never imagined that a casual remark would lead to such a consequence.

Thinking of this, Lin Gege opened Bika Net.

Play Balloon

She desperately wanted to know what level this young Director, who had ruined her reputation, was at!

As for Happy Family, Lin Gege really didn't want to watch it.

She really didn't want to contribute to this guy's box office anymore!

Before watching Balloon, Lin Gege searched for comments from netizens.

She found that many netizens thought Balloon was very scary and not suitable for late-night viewing, warning that it would cause nightmares.

Lin Gege sneered and clicked to play the video.

Hours later, Lin Gege lay in bed, her brow furrowed.

As expected, Lin Gege started having nightmares.

In her dream, Lin Gege appeared in Kyoto, and a Head Balloon identical to her was watching her from outside the window.

Lin Gege was completely fearless.

She knew exactly what kind of person she was.

Vain, greedy, and foolish.

Even as a Head Balloon hanging in the air, Lin Gege felt no fear at all!

Until she saw the Balloons following behind her Head Balloon.

It was an old woman dressed in a palace maid's outfit.

She muttered familiar lines:

"Ziwei, you little slut!"

"Help! Help! Help!!"

Lin Gege tossed and turned in bed, her brow furrowed, cold sweat pouring down her face.

No one heard her cries.
