Chapter 124: Bad comments come out of the circle
In North America, "Blitz Chase" had a box office of 8.21 million on the first day and 8.47 million on the next Saturday. However, on Sunday, the box office suddenly fell sharply - 4.71 million.
The United States is not like Hong Kong, and the strong malice is not directed at them. The unhappiness in the hearts of American audiences is actually that kind of superpower mentality.
In the world, there are only two countries in the world, China and the United States, whose citizens have such a superpower mentality. Of course, there used to be the former Soviet Union. Didn't that disintegrate?
Everyone should be aware of the hegemony of the United States. Not only is it destroying countries and people all over the world, but I also brought freedom and democracy to you. We, the United States, are God’s chosen people! Thank us! We, the United States, will send you to heaven!
And China...a harmless little white rabbit. Ahem.
So, American audiences actually understand this mentality very well. But except for us in the United States, if other countries want to do this, they will be very unhappy.
This is actually like "007". No matter how exciting "007" is, Chinese audiences also understand this mentality, but they will also be unhappy. Therefore, the box office of "007" has never been very good in China.
Objectively speaking, "Blitz Chase" is actually the same as "007". It is a film of the same type aimed at a specific audience and with specific selling points.
Why is "007" popular all over the world? That's because of the cultural hegemony of the United States and the influence of Hollywood. Audiences in other countries have basically laid down and are completely numb. Anyway, in reality, the United States has done such terrible things
, even more exaggerated than 007.
Therefore, on Monday, the box office dropped sharply again by 1.45 million. On Tuesday, it was 970,000, even falling below the one million mark.
The American media also gave negative reviews.
To be polite, I would say that China’s talented directors have exhausted their talents. If you are not polite, just point your finger in the face and yell - evil country, evil director, evil film, evil plot.
When the news of the Sugarcane Party incident came, it was sensational news! The American media was so happy that they quickly moved their benches and started eating melon seeds!
As a result, a very strange scene occurred at the North American box office. It made a 180-degree U-turn and skyrocketed. It was 2.31 million on Wednesday and 3.59 million on Thursday...
Anyway, the miraculous box office trend has left the entire American film industry stunned.
However, Harvey Weinstein also had a crooked smile. Previously, using the fame of "One Long Shot", Harvey Weinstein had already sold all the copyrights in other countries, and sold 735
The high price of 10,000 US dollars has already paid for itself.
When it was released in North America, Harvey Weinstein used the strategy of "ruining reputation and popularity". He used the fame of "Add a Long Shot" to completely squeeze out the box office of "Lightning Chase".
Anyway, speculation is also a kind of hype, as long as it brings in box office! As for whether it will directly destroy Rong Guang? It’s none of my business!
To put it bluntly, this is actually the power of the media, especially the power of the American media.
Because nowadays, everything is dominated by traditional media, especially European and American media. Once they unify their caliber, they can basically influence the public opinion of the world. Unlike the later Internet era, they simply cannot achieve such a height.
Monopoly.
For example, "Add a Long Shot", due to over-hyping, the box office was inflated. It even far exceeded the original script film.
And this "Lightning Chase" was overly smeared, which also caused box office... to some extent. But Rong Guang's reputation around the world is basically notorious.
But no matter what, in such a short period of time, Rong Guang was praised and infamous for a while. He was really out of the circle. Even in the eyes of ordinary audiences around the world, he was definitely a world-class director. He was nothing more than slander.
Just one.
As "Lightning Chase" was released in other countries, the box office was also good, and at least it made distributors in various countries a lot of money. However, it also received rave reviews, and Rong Guang's reputation became even higher.
On the contrary, in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, the box office is still very popular.
To be honest, in "Lightning Chase", apart from the black Hong Kong and the black Hong Kong circle, does it have anything to do with the ordinary audience? And it is a group of bad people who organize human trafficking and prostitution auctions in Hong Kong. Even if they are...
Do the people of Hong Kong like those scumbags who hang out in society? It's one thing to like the "Young and Dangerous" movie, but in real life, the vast majority of people don't like "Young and Dangerous"!
Moreover, such a decisive killing will be punished even from a distance. Don’t forget that the Chinese from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia are also descendants of the dragon. Other Chinese also have a superpower mentality! In addition, there are wonderful action movies and lens editing that transcends the times.
, how could they not like it?
It's just that public opinion has been controlled by the so-called elites. It seems to be in an uproar, as if it's real. Ordinary viewers actually like to watch it too!
…
Fortunately, Rong Guang is now banned in the mainland. The domestic media had almost no coverage of "Add a Long Shot" before. Now there is a flood of negative comments from all over the world, and not even a single word has appeared!
However, the high-level people in the circle can still get news from abroad, which still has some influence. The investor of "Universal Games" has changed from China Star to Xiang Shisan. Xiang Sheng and Xiang Tai no longer stand directly at the front desk.
That is also to avoid suspicion, there is no need to directly offend Hong Kong circles.
Moreover, Han Sanping personally called and hinted that he hoped Rong Guang would not attend the press conference for the launch of the "Universal Games".
In the Xiongbaizhi studio, only Rong Guang and Ning Xueqing were left again.
Rong Guang complained loudly: "Sister Qing, do all Hong Kong people grow up eating shit?? I haven't done anything harmful to nature!"
Ning Xueqing laughed: "Young Master Guang, just wait! Once this big hat is slapped on your head, just wait for the Bureau to catch you!"
"Grandma! There are not many Hong Kong movies like the "Hello, Cousin!" series? And they actually won their Academy Award? Are they allowed to make it, but not me? Can they make "Young and Dangerous"?
, I can’t take pictures to attack the Hong Kong community? I have never seen such a shameless person!”
Ning Xueqing laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe: "Master Guang, stop talking, I'm going to burst out laughing. By the way, I'm telling you, those two papers of yours were rejected by Nortel Journal."
Rong Guang was even more angry: "This is a film professional school, and now they don't even accept papers on crew management and fast editing and photography techniques for action movies? What a bunch of bastards! I meant well,
Not only did they spend money to make experimental films, but they also left original materials for them. Future Nortel students can also learn from them. How about they, Nortel, take state funds to make some art films that are disgusting to dogs? How can they survive?
