Chapter 1497 Situation(1/2)
In movies, the sky is filled with monsters, but in reality, the sky is filled with bricks.
Yang Ming's evaluation of Hou Zhengde completely ignited this focus entertainment incident. After Yang Ming's scarf was updated, many media quickly reprinted and published this comment written by Yang Ming, and it spread throughout the world.
The entertainment industry caused an uproar.
No one could have imagined that Yang Ming would be so tough on such a "highly respected" veteran in the entertainment industry.
Even if what this old-timer said was indeed biased, many people were surprised by Yang Ming's violent reaction.
Su Su has been following this incident online. When Yang Ming updated his scarf, she immediately asked: "If you say so, won't there be any problems? After all, she is quite old, will it cause any criticism?"
After Yang Ming handed out the scarf, he didn't pay attention to how other people would treat his scarf.
At this time, he was sorting things out and taking out the things he would need for tomorrow.
Hearing Su Su's concern, he immediately explained patiently: "It's not a big deal. The old man is indeed a very influential senior, but that's it. With my current status, the other party won't do anything to me."
?Besides, when Yanjing’s Cai Gaoyuan and Liang Tianxiao hold a press conference tomorrow, no matter how dissatisfied they are, they won’t go too far.”
"I am no longer the young person I was just starting out five years ago. At that time, when faced with deliberate slander and slander, I could only take more extreme measures. Now there is no need for this. Sister Zhu from the company will definitely handle this well.
thing."
Seeing Yang Ming's confident expression, Su Su felt less worried.
That's the truth.
Although she has not only acted in Yang Ming's dramas, her understanding of the entertainment industry is as good as anyone else.
Although this circle looks glamorous on the outside, it is full of hidden rules secretly.
With Yang Ming's current strength, there is really no need to bow to anyone, at least he won't be as easily slandered by others as when he first debuted.
If they really want to use public opinion to hurt each other at all costs, Yang Ming is not without the power to fight back.
But Su Su believed that neither party would reach that point.
At this time, Yanjing.
Hou Zhengde was pruning potted plants in the yard of his villa and relaxing, but his mood was quickly ruined by a phone call.
Especially when he saw Yang Ming's updated comment on his scarf on his computer.
His face turned extremely red, and the nanny beside him was so frightened that he thought the old man was going to have a high blood pressure attack, and almost didn't call the police.
He stopped the nanny from calling an ambulance, took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and let the nanny go out.
He looked at the computer screen with a gloomy expression, his whole expression extremely solemn.
He really didn't expect that the talented director he had heard in his ears several times would speak so viciously. There was not a single curse word or curse word in the entire article.
But he felt that his whole face was burning.
It felt like someone had slapped me in the face several times.
The movie reviews from the American media quoted by Yang Ming in his bib were like a slap in the face, hitting Hou Zhengde in the face.
However, he still has no way to resist!
Because whenever Hou Zhengde thinks about the box office of "Monkey King" released in the United States, he will feel powerless in his heart and has no strength to refute the criticism of the American media.
2.4 million yuan!
The box office of "Monkey King" in the United States was only 2.4 million yuan!
For a movie with such box office figures, what reason does Hou Zhengde have to refute criticism?
But even so, Hou Zhengde's face is not something that a backward generation can insult lightly.
He saw that the current situation on the Internet was completely reversed after many netizens revealed the box office performance of "Monkey King" after it was released in the United States.
Most of the public opinion reports gradually turned to Yang Ming's side, and the finger began to point at Hou Zhengde.
I think he was jealous, so he deliberately suppressed Yang Ming by finding faults in public.
The facts are before us.
Hou Zhengde didn't have a good way to solve this problem at the moment.
Just then.
The landline phone at home and his mobile phone both rang at the same time.
Hearing the continuous ringing of phone calls and mobile phones, Hou Zhengde couldn't help but sneer. It's not certain who will have the last laugh!
Tibet, in a hotel room.
Su Su has been holding her mobile phone and staring at the news on the Internet.
Tell Yang Ming the progress of the incident from time to time.
"Netizens have already found out the box office of the old man's "Monkey King" in the United States. It was only 2.4 million. I guess the old man has lost all face now!"
"Haha, your fans are so awesome that they even posted a photo, mocking the old man because he was jealous of your achievements."
...
When Yang Ming heard Su Su's reports one after another, he chuckled and shook his head without saying anything.
But soon Su Su pulled him to discuss "The Legend of the Great Sage" filmed by the old man!
"I've watched "The Legend of the Great Sage" online, and I think it's okay. Although there are many flaws, it's not like the movie's box office result is only 2.4 million yuan, right?" Su Su asked in a puzzled tone.
Hearing this question, Yang Ming was silent for a moment. He had also seen this movie. If you look at it from a contemporary perspective, although it is not a classic, it is still worthy of the movie ticket price paid by the audience.
Otherwise, how could this movie achieve relatively good box office results in East Asia?
But if Yang Ming looks at it from the perspective of being bombarded by various domestic and Hollywood blockbusters in his previous life, this "The Legend of the Great Sage" does not feel that good, it is all bugs!
He looked up and saw Su Su's confused eyes. He thought for a moment and said, "There are mainly two types of Chinese-language films released in the United States. One is what we call commercial films, and the other is independent films that go to film festivals and art theaters."
Art films. In terms of distribution channels, the former has a wider distribution, while the latter has great limitations."
"This "The Legend of the Great Sage" obviously belongs to the former category!"
"However, our Chinese commercial blockbusters can achieve good box office results in the United States. Except for the movies I made, there are only a handful of others."
"Some say it's the star effect, others say it's cultural differences, or both."
When Su Su heard this, she couldn't help but nodded and said, "That's true. If you were to act in "The Legend of the Great Sage", the movie's box office performance would definitely not be bad."
"No, even if it were me, the movie's box office performance would be higher, but it would still be very limited!" Yang Ming shook his head and disagreed with Su Su's point of view. "I think "The Legend of the Great Sage" is strictly a fan film.
!”
"Fan movie? No way, how is it possible?" Su Su asked in shock after hearing this.
Yang Ming chuckled: "Why isn't it a fan movie? The reason why such a movie can achieve relatively good box office results in East Asia is because East Asian audiences are influenced by "Journey to the West" and will watch this movie.
Movie?"
"If it weren't for the fact that "Journey to the West" is one of China's four great masterpieces, which has been circulated for thousands of years and has a wide-reaching influence, how many viewers do you think would buy it based on the movie itself?"
"The Legend of the Great Sage" filmed by Hou Zhengde is adapted from "Journey to the West".
It’s just that the plot of the adaptation is quite extensive.
But no matter how large the adaptation is, it is only in terms of details, and the overall context remains consistent with "Journey to the West".
"You should know "Captain America", right?" Yang Ming suddenly asked Su Su, and Su Su immediately nodded: "Of course I know, this movie is adapted from a comic, and there is also a TV series."
"That's right!" Yang Ming nodded, "Ten years ago, this movie ranked first in the American movie rankings for six consecutive weeks. With such a strong halo, it was introduced into our domestic film market. After it was released, the box office was terrible.
!”
"I think about it, it seems that the final box office did not exceed 5 million!" Su Su said with eyes brightening. Then she seemed to remember something and continued: "I seem to have heard that this movie will be remade and should be released next year!"
"I got the exact news from Barber. Filming has started in Hollywood, and the movie will be released simultaneously in China." At this point, Yang Ming paused for a moment, and then said cautiously: "If
I guessed right, the domestic box office performance of this movie will definitely not be bad, and it will be a huge change compared to the movie ten years ago!"
"How is that possible?" Su Su didn't believe it.
Seeing Su Su's unbelieving look, Yang Ming sighed inwardly. It seemed that people around him didn't quite believe that this movie would be successful in China.
If he had no past life experience, he would not believe it.
The history of this world has long since changed, and countless literary works at home and abroad are completely different from those of previous generations.
But there are still some works that Yang Ming is very familiar with.
For example, this "Captain America".
Whether it's comics or movies, no matter how classic they are, Yang Ming doesn't take them to heart.
Which country or industry does not have its own unique skills?
What Yang Ming pays more attention to is Hollywood's spirit of repeated defeats, especially since it began to gradually lay out more than ten years ago.
At that time, China and the United States gradually developed restrictions on film distribution.
Although Hollywood has introduced Chinese movies, the box office results of most of them have not been satisfactory.
However, after careful investigation and research, Hollywood quickly produced movie types suitable for Chinese movie audiences, and many of the movies were deeply loved and supported by local audiences.
