2479 [Core Resistance]

"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is the second part of the Harry Potter series. It tells the new adventure story of Harry Potter who has entered the second grade and his friends. The plot is ups and downs and suspense. It is difficult to know who the real culprit is until the last chapter.

Although the monsters depicted in the book are terrifying, such as the basilisk, the book also set up a clown-like villain, Gidro Lohart, which adds a lot of funny elements to the story through his funny performance.

At the same time, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" has also expanded the magic world to a certain extent, such as introducing a new race of domestic elves, snake monsters, eight-eyed spiders, phoenixes and other powerful monsters, the dark wizard gathering place of the Floodom, the wizard travel method of Azkaban, the wizard prison, and the battle of wizard bloodline, etc.

Overall, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a very good sequel.

After taking out the outline in summer, the writers quickly wrote it according to the outline.

It is expected that the finished product will be released in two months.

...

In June, "Jurassic Park 2" officially started filming.

When the first movie "Jurassic Park" was released the previous year, it set off a movie-watching frenzy around the world, and the world won 900 million US dollars in box office. Although two years have passed, no one can break this record.

And those behemoths hundreds of millions of years ago, mysterious, huge, and cruel, left an extremely deep impression on the audience. After the release of this movie, dinosaur books, toys, science programs, etc., which were not originally valued, became popular.

Even discovery-channel (Discovery Channel) took advantage of this eastward trend to create a program introducing dinosaurs called "Ancient Decryption", and it also achieved good ratings.

This time Columbia Pictures is about to launch a sequel, which naturally attracts attention. Many movie fans are looking forward to it, hoping to see these big guys again.

However, when people saw the cast and found that both starring actors became Chinese (Wang Xian and Liang Jiahui), they were a little surprised.

Although there are many movies starring foreigners in Hollywood, such as the "Harry Potter" series, the actors in the movies, both the Iron Triangle and the Suit are from the UK.

There are also many movies in Hollywood that starred by African Americans, such as the "Jedi Men" series starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. The second part even the heroine was replaced by African American actresses.

However, the two starring actors in "Jurassic Park 2" are both Chinese, which is the first time that people can't accept it for a while.

In fact, Hollywood has always been relatively xenophobic. It was from 1909 that Hollywood had its first film, and it was not until the late 1950s that African Americans in the United States became the treatment of male protagonists. Before that, they could only be roles such as servants, criminals, and villains.

Africans account for 13% of the US population and are the second largest minority in the US. The largest is Latino, but many Latino people look very similar to white people.

Chinese account for less than two percent of the American population, which is tens of millions less than Africans. Moreover, Chinese are not as united as Africans, so the Chinese's status in the United States is not only not as good as whites, but also Africans are far inferior to Africans.

In Hollywood, although white people are still the main focus, there are countless movies starring black people. Moreover, in order to show that the zodiac is correct, many supporting roles are played by Africans, and even overworked.

For example, in "Fantasy Four 2015", Invisible Female and Thunderbolt are siblings, but the Invisible Female in the movie is white, and Thunderbolt is played by a black actor.

But Chinese people do not have such treatment. All along, Chinese people's images in Hollywood movies have been relatively flat. Either they are kung fu stars like Bruce Lee, or villains like Fu Manchu, rarely have more positive, vivid, and three-dimensional images.

Even the roles that should have been played by Chinese were forcibly arranged to be played by white actors. For example, in "The Decisive Battle Blackjack", the prototype was originally Chinese, but in the end, the white actors were arranged to play. The treatment of black people can be said to be a huge difference.

It is precisely because Chinese actors have always had a low status in Hollywood that this time, "Jurassic Park 2" starring Liang Jiahui and Wang Shixian, which made the outside world a noise and could not accept it.

Some people say sour words, thinking that after entering Columbia Pictures in the summer, there will be more Chinese movie stars in Hollywood, which will steal the opportunity of white movie stars and African movie stars.

It is even more extreme to believe that Chinese, represented by summer, will one day occupy Hollywood. White movie stars and African movie stars will eventually lose all their jobs and will not even have the chance to play supporting roles.

Some people also called for boycotting "Jurassic Park 2" and not to contribute any box office to this movie, otherwise they would not love the country.

...

Under this trend, Columbia Pictures' general manager Long Mayer suggested that the actors in the summer can be replaced, but Liang Jiahui should be replaced.

After all, if a Chinese star cannot play in Hollywood, he will not have much box office appeal. Although Wang Xiaoxian is also a Chinese, he is at least beautiful and can make a qualified vase.

Summer vetoed Lang Meyer's suggestion.

"As soon as the outside world opposes, I will change. Should I listen to them if the outside world wants me to withdraw from Columbia Pictures? Are you doing things for me or for them? Are they paying you or I paying you?" Xia Tian asked Lang Meyer coldly, and this guy is getting less and less useful.

Long Mayer was questioned by Xia Tianyitong, and was speechless, and forced a defense, "Boss, I'm just worried that it will affect the box office."

"The box office impact will affect it. At worst, I can lose 100 million US dollars, and I can afford it." Xia Tian raised his eyebrows and said, "But it is impossible to change my mind."

In his plan, it is already destined for Chinese movie stars to enter Hollywood to develop. No matter how big the difficulties they face, he will continue to implement this plan.

"Boss, why are you doing this?" Long Mayer asked in confusion when he heard Xia Tian say this.

One hundred million US dollars is not a small amount. In the United States, it only costs 100 million to choose a president now.

"You don't need to ask too much about this. Some things are not calculated based on the size of the interests." Xia Tian waved his hand.

It is one of the dreams of summer to make Chinese movies famous in Hollywood and make Chinese-language movies famous in the world.

There was a saying in my previous life, "Suffocating for my dreams." In my life, if you don't have a dream, what is the difference between it and a salted fish?
