The New York Times is one of the most prestigious newspapers in the United States, with a history dating back to the mid-19th century.

The New York Times is also a representative of high-end newspapers and serious publications in the United States, and has long had good credibility and authority, and its influence in the United States can be described as huge and far-reaching.

It's an integral part of American life, and buying a copy of The New York Times from the subway station for $2 every morning before going to work has become a part of many Americans' lives, even in the age of the Internet.

So when the news of "Operation Thunder" appeared on the front page of the New York Times, it was immediately reprinted in major domestic media.

Luo Kai also saw the content of the report for the first time.

The headline of the New York Times is: Can the hit "Thunder Action" bring new changes to the Chinese film industry?

This article begins with a brief introduction to "Operation Thunder" and calls it the most successful film in the history of Chinese cinema, which is adapted from a documentary about the 2016 Chinese evacuation of overseas Chinese in North Africa.

Since its release on February 1, it has exceeded $700 million at the box office in China alone.

This film is written, directed and acted by the famous actor Luo Kai, the film has a gripping plot content, fierce and fiery battle scenes and adrenaline-pumping fighting scenes, and there are the most advanced warships in China to participate in the shooting, and the level of special effects is no less than some Hollywood films.

The author pointed out in the article that "Thunder Action" has an obvious Hollywood style, referring to the characteristics of Hollywood films of the same type, breaking the tradition of being monopolized by comedy and romance films during the Chinese New Year, and has become a legend in the film industry.

However, this film was given a cold reception in overseas markets and did not perform well at the box office, because it did not meet the tastes of European and American audiences, but it also represented the ideological trend of Chinese films going global.

Famous filmmaker Rogette Doug said on his blog: "Although the action scenes in this film are very exciting and a visual treat for audiences who like this genre, the film contains too strong national and national emotions to be recognized by audiences in other countries. ”

"It is worth mentioning that Luo Kai, as the director and starring actor, has shown extraordinary talent in the film, and he is undoubtedly the leader of Chinese films in the future!"

After reading this front-page report from the New York Times, Luo Kai couldn't help but smile slightly.

It should be said that the position of the article is fairly fair, and the report is not too biased, but there is always a bit of sourness and secret poke between the lines, but it is not all praise.

But he has a very high opinion of him.

This is not the first time that Roquet has appeared in the New York Times report, the "Champs-Elysées incident" in France was also reported on the front page of the New York Times, but in a different direction.

In fact, in the dream world, Luo Kai's photo appeared in the New York Times three times.

The New York Times was no stranger to him.

The New York Times of the two worlds are very similar, and even the style seems to come from the same mold.

Jingle bell~

Luo Kai had just closed the news page when the mobile phone on the table rang suddenly.

It was Li Mengru who called.

This is normal, that is, Li Mengru often calls him at night to "sao @ disturb" him, of course, Li Mengru will not talk to him for no reason, most of them are important things.

"Sister Mengru?"

"The company received an email from the United States..."

Li Mengru's voice on the phone was a little excited: "From "Time Magazine", they want to have an exclusive interview with you, and you are very likely to appear on the cover of "Time Magazine"!"

Luo Kai suddenly.

If the "New York Times" is the most familiar American newspaper for the Chinese people, then "Time" is undoubtedly the most familiar American magazine; although "Time" was founded much later than the "New York Times", its influence is not weaker than that of the latter.

Based in the United States and paying attention to the world, Time Magazine has always been a major feature, and it is extremely sensitive to news, and where there is good news, there are Times reporters.

"Time Magazine" noticed that Luo Kai is normal, and now Luo Kai has become one of the most concerned figures in China because of "Thunder Action".

In the past decade, Hollywood has paid more and more attention to the domestic box office market, and in a few years, the domestic box office will surpass North America to become the world's first.

Correspondingly, the major media in the United States are also reporting more and more on China, and although many media like to distort facts to guide public opinion, such as the "New York Times" and "Time Magazine," they are still a bit disciplined, and their stance is not too biased.

And appearing on the cover of Time Magazine is undoubtedly a high honor.

First and foremost, of course, is the positive image.

If it were someone else, he must have been very excited, but Luo Kai didn't feel how proud he was to appear in Time Magazine, and said with a smile: "It won't be the Asian version, right?"

Time magazine has a main American edition, an international edition, as well as European, Asian and Latin American editions, and there are several domestic celebrities who have appeared on the cover of the Asian edition.

"It's not..."

Li Mengru said: "I just contacted over there, and they gave you the main cover!"

The weight of the main cover was quite heavy, Luo Kai thought for a moment and asked, "When are they going to come over for an interview?"

Li Mengru replied: "The time has not yet been decided, and we need to communicate again." ”

"So be it..."

"I'm going to fly to the United States next week, and I'll be interviewed in the United States when that happens," Luo said. ”

Luo Kai's trip to the United States next week is not a temporary idea, but a predetermined itinerary.

The main purpose of this trip to the United States was to inspect the Rubik's Cube studio, explore the possibility of cooperating with the other party to produce a new DreamWorks film, and then discuss the IPO of Kuaiyin Technology with Goldman Sachs Bank in the United States.

After three rounds of financing, Kuaiyin Technology will complete its listing on the NASDAQ this year, but this work is not an easy task, the strength and potential of Kuaiyin Technology is undoubted, but listing in the United States needs to involve many things, Luo Kai is just a front station this time.

Now "Time Magazine" wants to conduct an exclusive interview with him, which is also a coincidence.

------------

The second one is sent.

PS: Congratulations to the friend "Li Shugen" for becoming the fifth leader of this book, and thank him for his continued support to the author, thank you!!
