777 Where is the Nearest Aircraft Carrier (1/3)
TV news, media newspapers, online reviews...
The entire day was spent criticizing the American media and Hollywood for being discriminatory against the Oriental DreamWorks film "2012." This criticism, combined with the public's indignation, quickly spread across China.
Coupled with Yang Ming's own strong popularity, he immediately won the support of countless Chinese people.
After all, Yang Ming is indeed being bullied by others abroad.
Especially the domestic film industry is extremely excited.
In the past few years, they have been annoyed by Hollywood and ridiculed countless times. In the past, they even wanted to limit the number of Hollywood movies introduced each year through the government level, so that they were ridiculed by the American media for being inferior to others, which made them cry.
He asked his mother for milk.
This humiliation is still fresh in the memory of the domestic film industry.
However, after several years of reforms, local films have not only failed to successfully counterattack Hollywood blockbusters, but have also been further expanded by others, making it impossible for them to vent their anger even if they are angry.
There is no way, they are indeed inferior to others.
However, the sudden incident of Oriental DreamWorks being unfairly questioned in the United States has made everyone in the domestic film industry as excited as a chicken.
"I never expected that Hollywood would be what it is today. You can't beat Oriental DreamWorks head-on, but now you're here to play dirty!"
Especially the Hollywood Oriental DreamWorks, which produced, filmed and distributed "2012", is fundamentally an American film company.
Such a reasonable and legal matter has been distorted by the American media and said to be the harm of Chinese movies to Hollywood. It is so shameless!
Those in the domestic film industry are not good-tempered people. Previously, they refrained from speaking out. It is true that the performance of local films is too ugly, and even if they want to, they cannot help.
But this time "2012" is different.
It gave them sufficient reasons and also provided them with legal guns and ammunition.
"We should severely crack down on this unfair competition!"
"Just because an American company has a Chinese boss, it suffers all kinds of unfair treatment. This is simply naked discrimination against China!"
"In this 21st century, which is advancing with the times, I never expected that there would still be incidents of discrimination against Chinese people. Especially such things happen in the United States, which has always been known as a civilized country. It is really unacceptable."
...
These people in the domestic film industry are all scheming guys, and their comments in public about the unfair treatment of "2012" suddenly rose to a national level.
However, these are not the most important.
What scares Hollywood most is that these people all made the same statement: limit the number of imported Hollywood movies!
A film company that is fundamentally American has been treated unfairly just because it has a Chinese boss. It seems that Hollywood does not want Chinese films to catch up with them forever. Once there is a film that surpasses them,
Severe suppression will definitely be given.
The reason why this phenomenon did not occur before was because China did not have a film that could pose a sufficient threat to the other party.
Now that "2012" has appeared, it is enough to prove that Hollywood is completely ambitious.
These people in the domestic film industry are not joking, they are serious about it. After all, limiting the number of imported Hollywood blockbusters has always been something they wanted to do but failed to do.
The emergence of events like "2012" now gives them sufficient reasons to promote this matter.
Soon, high-level officials of the Chinese government also responded head-on to the proposals of many well-known figures in the domestic film industry.
"The state will definitely investigate this incident in detail. If it is true, we will definitely make the right response!"
Although the words were brief, the information contained in them was exciting and unbearable. This was the first time that high-level government officials faced the calls of the film industry head-on.
And the person who stood up and said this this time was Minister Guo of the Ministry of Culture and Publicity. As the main person in charge of cultural propaganda, his opinions will have a high chance of becoming future policies. After hearing Minister Guo’s words, the entire Chinese film industry
Celebrities all cheered for it.
Minister Guo's appearance made the domestic film industry rejoice, but many film companies in Hollywood were dumbfounded, especially the film giants, who were a little at a loss and didn't know what to do.
If this kind of incident goes wrong, it is very likely to become a blockade and confrontation between the film industries of the two countries.
There is nothing wrong with the Chinese film industry. Anyway, in a year, they have very few films that can achieve good box office results in the United States, or even not lose money, which is a blessing.
Therefore, the attitude of the Chinese film industry towards the American film market is basically a dispensable attitude.
Even in their opinion, it would be better if they could return to the previous situation of never interacting with each other.
But this is different for Hollywood giants.
They currently have a total of nearly 20 movies distributed and released in China every year, and they can achieve box office results of billions of Chinese dollars. In a few years, they may even exceed tens of billions of dollars in box office figures, which is very promising.
Such a huge movie market has made Hollywood their second largest box office market in the world after Europe, and this box office market is growing very rapidly. It is simply unbearable for them to lose such a large box office market.
The Chinese film industry may not care about the U.S. movie box office market, but Hollywood cannot care about the Chinese movie market!
Hollywood's film giants, after Minister Guo's official response, panicked and immediately used various connections to find out whether the top officials of the Chinese government would really reduce the number of imported Hollywood movies, or even completely ban them.
While they were inquiring about the inside story, these movie giants also immediately asked the American entertainment media to stop reporting negative news about "2012".
Damn it, who would have thought that a small trick could cause such a big disturbance?
Who would have thought that throwing away billions of dollars in the film market just for the sake of an Academy Award selection would lead to such huge consequences?
What an exaggeration!
Just when the Hollywood giants were panicking and asking for news, Yang Ming also saw what Minister Guo said!
"How cool!" Yang Ming not only sighed in his heart, this is the style of powerful China in this world.
There was a famous saying in the United States in the past life. When the people of the United States were bullied, the president would say: Where is the nearest aircraft carrier to the scene of the incident?
This is also the style of modern China. Even under the guidance of the great founding fathers, in the early days of the founding of the country, there were countless examples of the national army launching wars to protect the interests of overseas Chinese.
Although the world had been at peace for decades and there was no possibility of another large-scale war, this style of conduct that was imprinted in the blood of great men and did not allow people to be oppressed outside became the tradition of the Chinese government.
It seems that after returning home, I need to thank Minister Guo properly, Yang Ming thought to himself.
