Chapter 330
The beginning of Love in Bitter Winter was difficult as hell.
Everyone had thought that Mr. Witt would have another failure in his life. Unexpectedly, this movie would be so popular abroad.
As soon as the movie was released abroad, it received a lot of good comments. There was no person like Henri there to undermine the movie, and the quality of the movie was really excellent. Under the influence of word of mouth, the sales of the movie almost multiplied.
After the international sales of this movie increased, the domestic audience began to be curious.
They wondered what kind of movie this was and how it had achieved such results abroad.
The movie conquered the foreign market, which naturally made the domestic audience proud..
As a result, many people spontaneously entered the cinema.
That was why its sales skyrocketed.
Henri said with a livid face, “I can’t interfere with the foreign market, and I don’t care. But the domestic market is my territory. Continue to hire paid posters. I must damage the reputation of Love in Bitter
Winter.”
The agent hesitated and said, “In this case, I’m afraid it won’t work well if we continue to undermine it.”
“Just do as I asked.” Henri instantly became ferocious.
Although the agent did not agree, Henri had always been dominant in their relationship. When Henri
made a decision, the agent’s opposition would not have any effect.
When the reputation of Love in Bitter Winter continued to improve in the country, a bunch of negative
news came out in unison.
The score of Love in Bitter Winter finally increased to 8 points. However, it fell to 7 points overnight due
to the paid posters. Moreover, there were constant negative comments.
“I thought this movie was so awesome. Is that all? It’s so sentimental. The special effects are so fake, and the plot can’t stand up to any scrutiny. In conclusion, this movie was hyped up.”
“What a stupid ending! Are the male and female leads dead or alive? The movie is deliberately mystifying me. It’s so annoying.”
“To tell you the truth, I only watched half of it, and I couldn’t help falling asleep in the cinema… How could such a boring movie have such high sales? How much did they spend promoting this movie?”
Looking at the pile of negative comments, Henri felt a little better.
It was none of his business how Love in Bitter Winter performed in the international market.
But he wanted to let Theresa know who the real leader of the domestic film industry was.
However, Henri didn’t feel happy for long.
A few hours later.
He realized that something was wrong.
Last time, he damaged the reputation of Love in Bitter Winter easily. After all, at that time, Love in Bitter Winter didn’t have many fans, and no one organized a counterattack.
However, things were different this time.
Love in Bitter Winter attracted a group of loyal fans because of its good quality.
Many people even thought that this was the best love movie in the past 50 years.
All of a sudden, so many paid posters criticized this movie unreasonably, which angered many people
on the Internet.
Quite a number of people took the initiative to fight against the paid posters.
At this time, Henri was amazed.
Although he had found a lot of paid posters, there were obviously more people who couldn’t stand it.
For a time, the paid posters hired by Henri were defeated and could not make any waves.
“Do you want to continue?” the agent asked.
Henri gritted his teeth.
Although he was a bit unwilling, he understood Love in Bitter Winter had made a splash and that he couldn’t undermine it alone.
“Let them go for the time being,” Henri said with a gloomy look. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Although Henri spoke ruthlessly, he admitted defeat.
The agent breathed a sigh of relief. He knew what Henri was worried about, so he comforted him “It’s just a movie. There is still a huge gap between you and her.”
“Does she deserve to compare with me?” Henri said coldly.
The agent hurriedly answered, “I said the wrong thing. Of course, she doesn’t deserve it.”
Henri snorted and was already thinking about how to continue undermining Theresa.
He didn’t believe that he, an experienced award–winning actor, couldn’t fix a newcomer.
Even if he couldn’t do it, he had the biggest entertainment company behind him.
At this time, the agent’s phone suddenly rang.
“I’ll take a call,” the agent said as he turned around to pick up the phone.
Henri ignored him and continued to think of various dirty ways.
It didn’t take long for the agent to end the call.
softly.
Henri glanced at him and frowned slightly. “Why do you look like a dead person?”
The agent’s face was pale. “Take a look at the trending topic.”
“What trending topic?” Henri looked at it impatiently.
Then, his pupils suddenly shrank.
He hired paid posters to keep attacking Love in Bitter Winter on movie comment websites. Because these paid posters bunched up, and their comments were unreasonable, people couldn’t help suspecting that someone was behind them.
There were many?
people on the Internet.
Some of them took action and found a lot of details. In the end, they locked on to Decho Group.
At first, they were just suspicious.
Some people even found a conversation between the marketing director of Decho Group and the head of the paid posters.
Why did Decho Group spend so much effort undermining Love in Bitter Winter?
Many people instantly recalled the quarrel between Henri and Theresa.
Previously, most people chose to believe Henri.
But this time, everyone was wavering.
If Henri were really so honest and simple, he wouldn’t have hired paid posters to undermine others.
As people looked deeper into it, they found that when Love in Bitter Winter had first been released, there had been paid posters attacking it purposely. Later, several employees of Henri’s studio were
discovered involved.
Before the release of Love in Bitter Winter, these
them to criticize this movie.
employees went to various media outlets and bribed
As people investigated and analyzed the matter, it became clear that Henri had hired pald posters against others.
Now, everyone was immersed in Love in Bitter Winter, a sad and beautiful love story.
The ending of Love in Bitter Winter was not perfect, which brought tears to the audience’s eyes. Now, seeing the movie being attacked, many people were suddenly upset.
It was okay that there was no perfect ending in the film.
But did they have to watch the movie being criticized unreasonably like this?
Due to everyone’s anger, the news that Henri hired paid posters directly became a trending topic.
Henri’s face clouded. He roared, “Are you a fool? How can you let this kind of news stay on the trending list? Go and ask Twitter to remove it.”
Henri had a mental breakdown. His crazy look made the agent feel somewhat dissatisfied.
The agent gritted his teeth and said, “I’m afraid we can’t remove it. Our people have already negotiated with Twitter. It refused. I guess… Mr. Landor instructed them.”
“Mr. Landor?” Henri gnashed his teeth and said, “He hadn’t made a move before. Why did he suddenly
interfere?”
“Who knows what Mr. Landor is thinking?” the agent asked.
Henri scowled. “Now that we can’t remove it, can you not do something else? Did I hire you for nothing? Go and announce that those guys are temporary employees and that their behavior had nothing to do
with us. Now!”
The agent was shocked. “This will disappoint the other employees of the studio.”
“What does it have to do with me? If my reputation is affected, can you compensate me for it?” Henri shouted angrily.
The agent was still hesitating.
Henri kicked him. “Hurry up.”
The agent lowered his eyes, and his face darkened slightly.
