"Don't they know how much effort I put into making this movie?"
"I have been studying in Hollywood for so many years. I only sleep eight hours a day, and I work more than seven hours a day. For this movie, I don't even have weekends!"
"How could they treat me like this and slander me like this?"
"..."
in the house.
Wu Tong looked at the large amount of abuse directed at "The Righteous Man" on the screen.
This stream of abuse lasted for four days.
At first, she quarreled with these netizens, and even wanted to hire a "killer" to shoot some of the people behind the scenes...
But gradually, she discovered that none of this was realistic...
When she curses, someone will criticize her a thousand times, and the so-called "hiring a killer" is simply not realistic...
When she was scolded too much, she felt a sense of powerlessness. After the powerlessness passed, her glass heart was broken.
Angry to the point of hysteria, and then grievance to the point of hysteria.
not far away……
A middle-aged man kept comforting her and scolding "Li Zhongjun" for being a "dog." Under the comfort of the middle-aged man, Wu Tong's mood became slightly better, but she was still in tears.
She felt that she had never been so wronged in her life.
She immigrated to the United States with her parents since she was a child. With good conditions, she often had access to people from the upper class of Laos and the Hollywood superstructure.
Naturally, she has been in Hollywood for many years, and has held some positions in many blockbusters. If she breaks down her resume, she has even more rich experience than "Zhou Yang", and the total box office is more than the total of Zhou Yang's current movies combined. Even higher!
After spending a lot of time in Hollywood, I naturally became influenced by some Hollywood film art.
I don’t know since when, she has immigrated and become an authentic American. She gradually began to have a sense of inferiority regarding her yellow-skinned identity.
I feel that yellow skin has been synonymous with poverty, backwardness, slavery and grassroots since ancient times.
There are no nobles among Chinese people, and everyone is humble.
It was as if someone had been reminding her since she was born, and it even became a brand from the depths of her soul.
Later, she watched many American and American documentaries and movies about China.
The Chinese people in the documentary are indeed despicable. They spit everywhere, throw garbage and even defecate everywhere. Some old ladies even shout in public without any quality. They are completely unqualified representatives of the nouveau riche.
However, most of the Chinese people in the movie live in abyss of darkness, poor, backward, barbaric, feudal, and superstitious. Most of the upper-class people regard human life as trivial and are greedy for power, which will always turn into big things. It's small, it's a trivial matter.
Since ancient times, the feeling of inferiority has gradually turned into disgust.
But her birth cannot be changed, her skin cannot be bleached, and leaving her parents is naturally unrealistic. In the end, she gradually accepted the reality that she has Chinese ancestry.
At the same time, she hopes to be recognized by the West!
"The Righteous Man" is such a movie that can be recognized by the West, and the executives of the DV company attach great importance to this movie.
Therefore, for this movie, she not only read the original work many times, but when the movie was about to be shot, she even went to the DV company in person to find the original comic book staff and chatted for a long time.
On the set...
She wholeheartedly integrated everything she learned into this movie, and is full of hope that she will soar into the sky after filming this movie!
Amazing special effects, passionate plot, vivid and rich humanity...
She feels that her film "The Righteous Man" will definitely make people in China jump for joy and go crazy with excitement!
But who would have thought...
But things are not going well here in China...
"They themselves live in backwardness, and people who are backward have a ridiculous sense of self-esteem..."
"People without grace, if you say something bad about them, or if you expose something about them very objectively, they will start to jump on the fence, thinking that they are not like this, and that you are distorting the facts. These groups of people have been like this throughout the ages.
, guarding the so-called "Five Thousand Years of Brilliance" culture, who knows whether this culture is actually compiled?"
"Xiaotong, it's okay!"
Seeing his daughter looking so sad and aggrieved, the middle-aged man suddenly felt distressed and then comforted his daughter.
After calming his daughter's emotions, he walked out of the room, his eyes suddenly becoming a little cold.
When he saw the box office of "The Righteous Man" in Hollywood, his face became even more ugly.
""The Righteous Man" really shouldn't have been released during the financial crisis..." He sighed, then thought for a while, and finally took out his mobile phone and dialed Li Zhongjun's number.
However, it is a pity that Li Zhongjun did not answer the call.
……………………
Once word of mouth collapses, many things will collapse like an avalanche.
"The Righteous Man" has been boycotted on many movie websites in China, and there are all kinds of abuses everywhere on the forums.
This kind of abuse is not the same as "Lizard Man".
"Lizard Man" has a character whose appearance makes people feel uncomfortable, and no matter how well the interior is shot, the audience will want to vomit.
And you can't analyze this movie carefully at all. The more you analyze it carefully, the more you feel that there are various tampering and discrimination against Chinese culture in this movie, and there is even a deep sense of invasion of Western culture in this movie.
The daytime occupancy on the 19th was abysmal.
If you go to any theater chain, less than a quarter of the audience will be sitting there to watch.
And after watching it, more than half of the audience was abusing it. Even the first few film reviewers who were just bad money were scolded by netizens and had to delete their posts and apologize.
But even though "The Righteous Man" is so bad, the movie is still being released.
On the one hand, this is because overseas DV companies have minimum film schedule agreements with major theater chains, and on the other hand, Xu Kangnian, the head of the film department of the relevant department, insisted on keeping "The Righteous Man" despite all the opinions.
An Xiao had chatted with Xu Kangnian many times, but Xu Kangnian always refused to let go and insisted that there was no pornography in this movie. In the end, the movie could only be released for half a month.
[Affected by the financial crisis, the box office of five Hollywood movies in June was greatly reduced. Among them, "The Righteous Man" became a victim of the great era, with a box office of less than 3 million US dollars on the first day...]
[Paramount announced: "The Beast" and "Aion" and other two movies released in late June have been postponed]
[Hollywood's "Abnormal" director Delson: The financial crisis will last for a whole year. During this year, the financial industry and the film and television industry will suffer unprecedented heavy losses...]
[Affected by the financial tsunami, many theaters in Hollywood have fewer moviegoers than at the same time last year...]
["The Righteous Man" will be a bloody lesson. Affected by it, many directors in Hollywood announced that the film will be postponed...]
【……】
"The Righteous Man" was a hit at the overseas box office.
This movie, which had high hopes, achieved such a deceiving result that the executives of the DV company were so angry that they were speechless.
At the same time, more than 30% of Hollywood filmmakers have seen the huge impact of the financial crisis on the entertainment industry through "The Righteous Man", and once again deeply realized that this time, they must not be stubborn, let alone forcefully follow the market
Head-to-head.
On the night of the 19th...
After the major theater chains took out their movie lists for late June, everyone discovered that among the huge blockbuster Hollywood movies, the movies released in late June were all low-cost horror films.
"Spider-Man" has officially announced that it will be released tomorrow, June 20th.
But it was only announced by Xingyang's overseas theaters, and the mainstream media in the United States could not make any waves at all.
There were no congratulations, no insults, and except for a group of loyal fans who unswervingly trusted Zhou Yang, no one on the Internet even paid attention.
Pre-sale tickets went on sale three days in advance, and even one-third of the pre-sale tickets for the premiere could not be sold. Even the staff of Xingyang Overseas Cinemas felt that they were about to lose their jobs.
It's extremely quiet here in the United States.
But the Chinese side was bustling with excitement.
"Really? At this time, does Spider-Man really have to be released on time?"
"Stop it! Stop joking..."The Righteous Man" has become like this, "Spider-Man" still wants to challenge our ability to accept it?"
"But the pre-sale tickets are still scary, they are all sold out!"
"Nonsense, I heard that Zhou Yang invested hundreds of millions in this movie, and many fans also invested. Zhou Yang's idiot fans are so terrifying!"
"Hey, how long can they support Zhou Yang? Zhou Yang is such a bottomless pit! I heard that he is heavily in debt with overseas theaters, and now he is desperate!"
"Why are you so unsure of Zhou Yang? Since his debut, his movie has never been released!"
"It's true that I haven't jumped into the street, but did you hear what the Hollywood director of "Alien" Delson just said? The financial tsunami has an impact on all walks of life. "The Righteous Man" has also been thrown into the street. You "
"Spider-Man" is really good? And I heard that director Chloë Paige of "The Lizard" is involved..."
"Damn it, this guy really doesn't know how to fight. Chloe Paige was scolded by Hollywood a few days ago and was almost abandoned by the DV company. How dare you use him this week?"
"Who knows? If a person has been successful for a long time, he will naturally become blindly confident and feel that he can do anything!"
"..."
online……
Early morning on the 20th.
There are still eight hours until "Spider-Man" is released simultaneously in the United States and China!
Countless revelations about "Spider-Man" have been posted on the Internet...
On the Internet, almost all filmmakers feel that the box office debut of "Spider-Man" in China will not be bad, but it is definitely the beginning of Waterloo.
And "Spider-Man" was gradually kicked off amidst such negative voices...
