MTL - You Made Me a Superstar-Chapter 544 Zhang Genshui acquired Xinghui?
Chapter 544 Zhang Genshui acquires Xinghui?
Hollywood is naturally keen on the Chinese market.
As China joined the World Trade Organization, the economy took off and people's living standards improved accordingly. The demand for the entertainment industry is also gradually increasing.
In a country with a population of more than one billion, as of April 2008, there were forty-five theater companies in China alone, with more than 1,200 screens. Among them, the 3D digital projection hall followed "Jaws" Afterwards, there was a crazy surge, and there were already 630, and it was climbing every month.
This is definitely an amazing volume.
On the one hand, Hollywood movies look down on Chinese movies, and those filmmakers look down on Chinese filmmakers even more. On the other hand, they are attracted by China's amazing market and have to make some so-called "compromises" and concessions.
"Righteous Man", before the project was filed, everyone thought it was a film made by a DV company to compromise the Chinese market.
【The only superhero movie in history with Chinese actors! 】
【DV company helps the Chinese market tailor-made superheroes! 】
【Propaganda of Chinese culture, gorgeous cooperation, two blossoms! 】
【…】
Even if he walked into the movie theater, Zhou Yang could still hear similar discussions about these things.
The movie fans were enthusiastic, sitting in their seats excitedly and expectantly, watching the beginning of "Righteous Man", looking forward to the chemical reaction between Chinese culture and DV superheroes, and finally blowing up the audience!
Then…
When the movie officially started, everyone felt that the taste was not quite right.
Chinese-American actor Li Lunshuo's character in "Heroes of Righteousness" instinctively gives people a feeling of being extraordinarily simple and straightforward, but with a strange appearance.
The plot roughly tells the story of Zhengqi Man (played by Li Lunshuo) who received iron-blooded combat training from his father Wushen (played by Liang Jiayu) since he was a child, and is proficient in various martial arts moves. Then he changed his name and changed his surname and came to the United States to undergo a new round of training. During the training, he felt the conspiracy of his father, Valkyrie, and also realized that his mother died at the hands of his father. Mother revenge, but unexpectedly, the mysterious king of the dark world resurrected in the process...
Superhero movies.
In fact, the main line is very simple, and there is almost no story at all.
It is the story of a superhero who bears blood and blood, rises from adversity, and finally saves the world.
The main line of the movie "Righteous Man" is like this.
Zhou Yang looked at "Heroes of Righteousness" on the screen and unconsciously thought of "Shangqi" in the original world. Although the plot of Shangqi in the original world is not the same as this "Man of Righteousness", the main line is very similar , and there are too many places for Huaxia netizens to complain...
The male and female protagonists are too ugly, Tony Leung is so handsome and gave birth to such a big ugly guy, and his character is suspected of being Rhua, and some netizens even made a comment on "Shang Qi", that is, the banana man defeated his evil Huaxia father, Take refuge in the story of the old beauty of Liberal Democracy...
The core is simply broken to the extreme, from being scolded at the beginning of the project to being released on Hong Kong Island...
Although the male lead in the movie "Righteous Man" is not that embarrassing, when the female lead appeared, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel a little dirty in his eyes.
"Oh my God!"
"Is this the **** heroine?"
"Don't tell me, this is the beauty of our Chinese people?"
"Don't be like this, hot eyes, this is a passerby, right? Dressed in rustic clothes, with rustic hair from the last century, eyes are almost narrowed into a slit, Nima, don't tell me, this is a girl host?"
"Grass..."
Before entering the screening hall, the audience who were full of anticipation saw the heroine appearing ten minutes later, their eyes widened instantly.
As if I ate ice cream made from "shit", I was so disgusted that I didn't know what to say.
Moreover, the director Wu Tong didn't seem to be aware of anything at all, and instead gave the heroine a much more special role. She clearly wore an oriental face, but her behavior was very westernized. Influenced by Western culture, it began to move towards the mainstream of the West, and this movie deeply used the heroine to promote the main line. Behind the scenes, he turned into a superhero and various heroines. In order to make the theme more profound, showing that even a "superhero" has ordinary people's desires and desires, the heroine actually ran into a luxury store. , in the name of fighting crime, stole a luxury bag and gave it to the heroine for her birthday...
Unbelievable, this is something made by Chinese people!
Some fans in the front row really couldn’t stand the inexplicable values conveyed in this movie. When they saw less than half of it, they felt disgusted. In the end, they resisted and continued to watch. The special effects of this movie are really not bad. Yes, after wearing the 3D glasses, you even feel that you are falling in the tower layer by layer with the perspective of the protagonist, and feel the excitement, especially the steel bars that suddenly hit you one after another, making you I couldn't help it, so I dodged back subconsciously, the stimulation was really strong...
Zhou Yang looked at the special effects of "Righteous Man" and instinctively admired them. Suddenly, he felt vaguely worried about whether the special effects of "Spider-Man" when it was released could achieve this effect.
"The core of this movie is really broken, and there are also problems in logic... Except for the special effects, it is simply... any student who graduated from the Yanying Department of Directing can make this kind of work..."
"What's the matter with Cao Bangguo, he has been assisting in the shooting for so long, and then he made this thing?"
In the screening hall.
Feng Kai couldn't sit still anymore.
In recent years, Feng Kai has restrained his temper a little bit, but after seeing the plot and framework of "Righteous Man", he immediately felt sick.
He couldn't help complaining about this movie. After complaining, he took out his mobile phone, logged into the browser on the mobile phone, and entered Douban under the condition of freezing to death, planning to write a bad review first.
But I didn't expect it at all. After finally getting stuck in Douban, I found that Douban already had hundreds of negative reviews.
"Lets see."
Zhou Yang watched "Righteous Man" continue playing.
He seems to see that this movie seems to convey a kind of "spirit".
This kind of spirit seems to be "resisting patriarchy" and "resisting the old feudal era", and borrowing the mouth of the protagonist, he said something like "everyone in the world is equal and everyone is free, this is the great harmony of the world" , and the whole article is rendered around this theme...
"Damn it, this movie is made insanely, which Sima thing made by cerebral palsy!"
When the second half of the film was filmed, even though the special effects were still dazzling, only a few Huaxia fans stood up and left the theater cursing with their children.
The child yelled that he didn't want to leave, and wanted to continue watching the excited fight on the screen, but the father directly ignored the child's "pull" and dragged him away...
The child even imitated the appearance of "The Righteous Man" in the movie in front of all the movie fans, and started kicking his father while crying. The movie theater fell into a noisy state for a while. Pause, but it's clear that fans are already somewhat resistant to seeing the movie.
……………
An hour and a half later.
Zhou Yang and Feng Kai walked out of the screening hall.
Feng Kai's face was very ugly, as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly.
Zhou Yang silently watched the rest of the movie fans who came out and cursed.
In fact, when the movie first started playing, the auditorium was almost full of people, even the most eye-damaging front row was full of people.
But by the end of the movie, the person has already run a third of the way...
And those movie fans who can endure this kind of inexplicable and illogical plot are so exploded!
The corners of the mouths of several film critics twitched slightly.
"At first I thought it was a surprising movie, but no one would have guessed that this movie is fundamentally an oriental movie for foreigners. At its core, it is a superhero movie catering to foreigners. Speaking Chinese is just to cater to China. The market, let more Chinese people pay the IQ tax, do you really think that Americans show respect to Chinese people? Xie Te, never! What the hell, people treat Chinese people as leeks..."
"And this messy Chinese culture, this..."
"This really hurts my brain!"
"Damn it, the first Chinese superhero, Nima, is this thing?"
"..."
No one would have imagined that a movie that was so hot and full of expectations from the time it was set was made, but after the premiere, fans scolded it in public.
These scolding movie fans couldn't hold back their anger, and went to Douban's major platforms to spray fiercely. After the premiere, in less than three hours, this movie should have been highly praised in the eyes of many people. The score of "Chinese Superhero Movie" is as low as 5.9 points, which is even less than the pass line...
The few fans who didn't scold them could barely squeeze a smile on their faces when they were interviewed by the media afterwards.
"The special effects of this movie are good, at least not inferior to "Jaws" and "Time Travel". It is the best special effects movie on the market..."
After searching for a long time...
In the end, they could barely utter such a sentence similar to praise.
After speaking...
Suddenly they couldn't come up with any more good things to say about the film.
…………
noon.
Zhou Yang returned to Huaxing and was about to leave for Delaware to handle the release of "Spider-Man" when he received a call from Zhang Genshui.
Then…
Zhang Genshui came to Zhou Yang's office with a serious expression on his face.
"Xiao Zhou!"
"What's the matter, Brother Zhang?"
"The filming of "Righteous Man" is so bad, many people are scolding, will it affect Xinghui's market value?"
"It's hard to say, why did you suddenly ask this question?"
"I want to buy Xinghui, Xiao Zhou, why don't you invest some shares and let's sell Xinghui?"
"???"
There is only one update today and tomorrow...
