Chapter 663: Chapter 662: A One-Sided Suppression

As Wang Hao’s side was rapidly shooting, the domestic "Three Lifetimes of Love, One Tree of Peach Blossoms" was also being hyped up vigorously.

After all, this was a big wager, a bet involving two film and television groups each with total assets exceeding ten billion, and especially concerning the rivalry between the Bai family and the Hong family, which alone was enough to attract countless eyeballs.

Countless netizens were discussing any piece of news about these two movies online, particularly "Three Lifetimes of Love," whose behind-the-scenes bloopers and insider details had been intentionally leaked by Hong Tianyi, keeping the online buzz spreading in an explosive trend.

"Breaking news, breaking news, ’Three Lifetimes of Love’ is making smooth progress in shooting, and the overall plot is now heading into its final stages. Meanwhile, Hollywood’s special effects teams are also working day and night. It’s said that they have already thrown down the gauntlet, aiming to release at the same time as ’War Wolf’!"

"This century’s big battle will indeed be a sight to behold. According to news from the War Wolf team, their shooting progress is also very fast, and it’s estimated that it will be wrapped up in another two or three months."

"It seems that both sides are really putting their full effort into this, huh? From the start to the initial conclusion, hasn’t it been just under two months?"

"Do you even have to ask? When the time comes, ’Three Lifetimes of Love’ will definitely beat ’War Wolf’ a hundred times over! Only a fool would miss such a good opportunity!"

"But I’ve heard that the ’War Wolf’ team is really struggling in Africa. The conditions there are no joke; people could actually die!"

"Just a novice screenwriter, with only two scripts written. They definitely have to go all out this time. However, I reckon that even with all their effort, they won’t stand a chance!"

...

Netizens online were discussing this betting match, and on the other side, in the movie box office forums, discussions about these two films had also begun, with netizens leaving messages—

"Latest news, ’Three Lifetimes of Love’ has now entered post-production. It’s said the release date just awaits War Wolf’s announcement!"

"Hahaha, we’ll have a good show to watch again! Just looking at the lineup for ’Three Lifetimes of Love’ makes one drool. By that time, ’War Wolf’ won’t be able to hold its head up."

"I’ve heard that the ’War Wolf’ team is progressing fast with their filming as well, but it’s unknown when it will be released. I’m really looking forward to it!"

"When the time comes, I’ll be waiting to see ’War Wolf’ get trampled on the ground by ’Three Lifetimes of Love’!"

...

Within the forum for ’Three Lifetimes of Love’.

Die-hard fans like Yang Haiyang and Liu Feifei’s were already prepared for battle, rallying numerous netizens to get ready.

"Dear fans, are you all prepared? I’m ready to support our idols by watching three back-to-back showings!"

And the response was practically a rallying cry—

"Don’t worry, I’ve got two hundred in cash ready, just waiting for the release!"

"We must be victorious this time, let them see our fanbase’s fighting spirit!"

"Fight, fight, fight! We absolutely cannot lose this battle! Bringing the whole family to support our idols!"

"It’s time to show the world our fanbase’s combat strength!"

With Yang Haiyang’s fans getting organized, of course, Liu Feifei’s fans would absolutely not be outdone.

"Feifei’s fans, the other fan group is already moving, so we Feifei’s fans definitely can’t lag behind! Let’s give it our all!"

Countless people responded—

"Absolutely, if their fanbase is so energized, we can’t fall short. We can lose anything but the battle!"

"I’m not saying anything else, the money’s all ready, just waiting to watch something thrilling!"

"Ha ha ha, we must prove our strength, for our Feifei!"

...

Three Lives of Love forum was abuzz with activity, but War Wolf’s forum was way less lively.

"What should we do, what should we do? The fans of Three Lives of Love and Feifei over there are too scary, looking at their popularity, this time Brother Hao might lose!"

"Yeah, people there are even preparing to book out theaters to watch it, and our forum doesn’t have much of a crowd right now, can we even hold up?"

"It’s hard to say, they’ve got a fantasy theme and a Hollywood special effects team, while we have a military theme, which is inherently at a disadvantage. Plus, Brother Hao has never directed a movie before..."

"When the time comes, let’s just show some support, even if we lose, let’s not lose too badly..."

"That’s all we can do, after all, I’m a die-hard fan of Domestic Agent and The Proud Smiling Wanderer, I’ve got to show up no matter what."

"That’s easy to say, but we just don’t have enough people, Brother Hao’s fan base is completely outclassed..."

...

The online environment was completely one-sided, Three Lives of Love’s surge in popularity simply trampled over War Wolf’s fans.

There was nothing that could be done; after all, the number of fans Yang Haiyang and Liu Feifei had was unknown amounts more than Wang Hao, and then there’s Michael, one of the best directors in Hollywood, plus the fans of the fresh meat Yu Zhinan...

Just these alone were enough to make War Wolf’s fans drink a bitter cup, not to mention the presence of the brothers, Hong Tianjun and Hong Tianyi, pushing the wave along.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that, based only on current online popularity, if War Wolf’s popularity was one hundred, then Three Lives of Love must be at least ten thousand...

...

Africa.

"Boom!" The sound of the bomb going off roared, and Wang Hao was flipped over several times by the blast wave, his clothes torn and weathered, looking utterly ruined.

"Director Wang, are you all right?"

"Quick! Ambulance! Ambulance!"

"My god, that blast was too close this time, that’s a real bomb shipped over by the military, it’s not child’s play!"

"Director Wang, are you okay?"

People crowded around, braving the heat wave, anxious to the extreme.

If it were any other production team, they would typically use film-specific bombs, at least equaling in sound and visual effects, but Wang Hao went for the real thing! Damn, except for having fewer shrapnels, these real bombs could be used in real combat!

"Ptooey, ptooey," Wang Hao spat black smoke and dirt from his mouth, then took some water to rinse, shaking his head and saying, "I’m fine, just need to rest a bit. Hey, Zhang, how was that last shot? Was the effect good?"

After being modified by Crimson Eye, Wang Hao’s physical fitness had surpassed the limits of Earth’s humanity, whether in strength or resilience, he had improved significantly. The recent blast, although frightening in appearance, felt no more than a tickle to Wang Hao...

"It was great, the effect was absolutely amazing!" Deputy Director Zhang nodded furiously: "But you can’t keep this up, Director Wang, after all, your health is important..."

"No big deal," Wang Hao chuckled, "Let’s go again! This movie has to be perfect!"

Everyone was nearly scared to death: "He’s okay even after that explosion, Director Wang is truly a god!"
