Chapter 553: The dog director complained, and the box office of 100 million was gone
Li Yi's statement exceeded many people's expectations.
In other words, everyone expected Li Yi to speak out, but they didn't expect that Li Yi would be so rude and directly punched Lu Jing against the wall.
Now the road guide was embarrassed.
He thought that Li Yi and he were in a relationship, but Li Yi directly denied it. Not only that, but he also sprayed him completely.
Ordinary people can say a hundred words, but their influence is not as great as that of a top director like Li Yi. What's more, Li Yi can say more than one sentence!
Lu Jing shut up!
Because it’s so embarrassing!
What's even more embarrassing is the reaction of netizens and fans.
"Haha, Director Lu is looking for an ally to overturn his position. I'm not, I don't have one. Don't talk nonsense, it's so funny!"
"I didn't expect the dog director to have such a side, so denying that Sanlian is too cute!"
"Mr. Lu is just blindly pulling people in without investigating clearly. Li Yi has made his attitude and thoughts clear in previous interviews!"
"Who says it's not the case? I originally wanted to bring in a powerful ally to share the pressure, but in the end, my ally turned into an enemy. Director Dog's move was a bit hurt."
"But there is nothing wrong with what Director Gou said. I am confused, why do so many people say that "City of Life and Death" was good? If nothing else, it is just to interpret this war from the perspective of Japanese soldiers.
It feels outrageous!”
"Tiantian, when you say you want the world to accept this fact, I wonder, why do you want outsiders to accept the tragedy that happened in our country? To put it bluntly, how many people in the country really care about the Jews and the Nazis who have happened to them?
What happened?"
"What he calls facts is just Spring and Autumn style, written in one stroke, and then what? Is this the so-called fact? It doesn't matter whether the Chinese people can accept it!"
"It's quite scary. If the next generation actually sees this movie, what will they think of it?"
"I hope "War Meridian" is not such a movie, otherwise, it would be really sad!"
But Li Yi didn't expect it, or he underestimated his influence.
His remarks caused even more heated discussions than before!
In fact, no real insider had criticized Lu Jing in such a big way before, but as soon as Li Yi opened his mouth, many people followed suit.
For a time, Lu Jing couldn't bear the huge pressure and actually asked someone to make Li Yi show mercy.
I'm really scared.
Even Zhao Guangming called and asked Li Yi to keep it in check.
"Director Zhao, you can't blame me for this, right? We didn't have any contact with each other before, and I didn't even watch his movies, but he forcefully asked me to shoulder the blame. Am I wronged? Now that I feel the pressure, it's up to you to do it.
Lobbyist? What have you been doing so far?"
With Li Yi's current status, even Zhao Guangming couldn't really say anything.
"It seems that you are really angry. Haha, yes, I am just a favor to Mr. Lu, so I have to make this call. I have said everything that needs to be said. Whether you listen or not is up to you!"
Zhao Guangming said with a smile on the phone.
On the other side, instructor Li Mingshan was also invited.
However, Lao Li's tone was very interesting: "You kid, how about you talk about one thing after another? When will you come to school and give your juniors a lesson to change their minds? Every day.
All of them want to make art films and win awards abroad... There is no room for them in China."
"Teacher, just go around me. It seems that I really can't say this casually. I have a wide network of contacts here. Am I just stirring up a hornet's nest?" Li Yi said with a wry smile.
"What a hornet's nest, you have underestimated your own influence! However, it can be regarded as a lesson to them." Li Mingshan said cheerfully.
Li Yi's opening made the original controversy gradually become one-sided.
After all, even those sheep-loving dogs would find fault with Li Yi. Even when Li Yi won the Oscar for Best Picture, the group of people praised Li Yi to the sky one by one.
They think Li Yi has won the top award, the box office. Li Yi has also won the box office championship in North America, and more than once.
The awards and box office are so high, it is unrealistic for them to criticize other directors, but use it to criticize Li Yi.
And "City of Life and Death" is still in theaters, so what will be affected is the box office and profits, so Lu Jing probably feels regretful.
However, this time, Li Yi can really be said to have demonstrated his influence.
It also leaves some people with lingering fears. The road scene serves as a lesson for others.
Li Yi's outburst of criticism, according to outside estimates, will reduce the box office of "City of Life and Death" by at least 100 million!
Because Li Yi's appeal is too powerful.
After looking at Li Yi's interview report, you can see the number of comments and the popularity of the topic.
Li Yi didn't pursue him any more. After all, he wasn't someone who liked to talk.
However, I have to thank Lu Jing for one thing. Because of "City of Life and Death", the main theme movies in the summer release can be said to be a piece of cake.
Because "City of Life and Death" is not only considered not to be the main theme, many people even think that this movie is completely anti-theme.
And this year marks the 70th anniversary. Is it appropriate for a movie like this to appear in such a special year?
In fact, to put it bluntly, if "City of Life and Death" had appeared a few years earlier, it might not have been so controversial.
Because in those days, there were indeed many directors who were proud to win awards abroad, so many of the films they made were mainly to please foreign tastes, because at that time, the national self-confidence of the Chinese people was indeed lacking.
few.
Simply put, it is the desire to be recognized, especially the desire to be recognized by people in more developed countries.
But things are different now. The country is getting stronger day by day, and the national self-confidence naturally grows day by day.
Therefore, naturally I no longer have the same desire for recognition from the outside world as I did in the early years.
Why do we need their approval?
The so-called first-class foreigners of the past are now a thing of the past.
To put it simply, in the early years, returnees from overseas were definitely the objects of envy and jealousy, but what about now?
Closer to home, for this reason, and because of "City of Life and Death", many people have begun to look forward to Li Yi's new movie "War Meridian" which is tit for tat with Lu Jing!
According to some movie fans, if you are fed a mouthful of shit, you have to get some water to rinse your mouth, right?
As for Li Yi, "War Meridian" was only officially announced to be completed at the end of August.
It took more than four months.
After the filming of "War Meridian" was completed, Li Yi began to retreat again and entered the post-production of the film.
After all, the National Day movie was about to be released, and there was only one month left, so he had to finish the movie.
