Chapter 665: 664. Two differentiated comments

"It seems to lack depth, it’s the same old story, I guessed the entire plot after the movie started."

"There’s nothing fresh about it, the logic is weak, it’s all propped up by special effects. I can only say the score goes to the effects, and maybe one point for the handsome men and beautiful women in the cast, nothing more."

"So funny, you guys kept going on about Mu Ziwei and all, but I only saw her in maybe four or five scenes, with a total screen time of less than three minutes?"

"Sorry, there were actors from our country in it? When I left the cinema, I still hadn’t realized it."

——These are comments from rational netizens.

In recent years, the output of foreign sci-fi blockbusters has been too frequent.

Even if each one maintained the original high standards of production, the increasingly discerning domestic audience has become harder to please, with many veteran film critics feeling that the plots are cliché and uninspired.

And most of the negative reviews for "Hurricane Goddess" came from these veteran critics.

Quite by chance, there are many stars who don’t look kindly on Mu Ziwei.

In such a small circle, someone getting a piece of the international pie naturally causes dissatisfaction among others, leading to a profusion of marketing soft articles about the movie. Five days after the movie’s release, the word of mouth should’ve settled down, but the internet was still flooded with two starkly different narratives.

One group of marketing accounts was doing their utmost to disparage it, while another was working hard to praise it.

The former, of course, came from those not on good terms with Mu Ziwei, while the latter were mostly from the fans of stars under the banner of Vast Entertainment.

As a party involved in the promotion of "Hurricane Goddess", Mu Ziwei had Wang Zheng doing a lot of PR work; during this period, for the sake of the box office, she was coming and going, performing at various commercial events from dawn till dusk.

By the end of the day, she finally had time to return to the dressing room and breathe a sigh of relief.

"How are the online comments looking?"

"Don’t worry, the movie’s ratings have gone up, and comments about you are gradually turning positive."

During this time, Wang Zheng, who had been busy with PR, had dark circles under his eyes that were very intense, but his usually brooding eyes now had a touch of excitement.

It seemed as if he could see a glimmer of hope.

Uncharacteristically, Mu Ziwei didn’t contradict him, "Got it, you should rest too."

"Okay, I’ll arrange for some people to manage the reviews tomorrow, and the short videos of your scenes have been edited. We’ll start pushing them hard starting tomorrow."

"Thanks for the trouble."

After sending Wang Zheng away, Mu Ziwei sprawled on the sofa and flipped through the online comments about herself. Seeing that most were positive, she finally relaxed. At that moment, she also had time to think about other matters.

Like... the "evidence" that had long been in her hands.

"Brother Li, how many days has the boss been away?"

"Five days, Little Brother Shen."

"Oh, these days without the boss, they’re really comfortable——"

"Would you dare to say that to his face?"

Inside Starshine Media, the only two members of the IT department bantered while sipping on goji berry tea, quite at ease.

Shen Yan smacked his lips and squinted his eyes in contentment, "Brother Li, that’s not very honest of you, who reports to the boss’s face?"

"I see you’ve been utterly happy these past few days, our boss is so good-natured, and you’re still hoping she’s not around!"

"Hey, don’t you go spreading that, I’m not hoping she’s not here, what I mean is..."
