Chapter 467: Playing a scoundrel
Guo Dalu's popularity abroad is actually not much smaller than his popularity in China.
is like Cameron from another world, although he is a big foreign director, his popularity in China is no worse than that of an international actor.
Guo Dalu's current situation is even louder than Cameron's fame in China in another world, because he is also an extremely good actor while being a director.
If after the gambling contract between Thomas and Ma Cheng is exposed, it is an unknown little director in China who shoots science fiction movies, and the Yankees may boycott this movie in China for the sake of so-called patriotism or face, but the person who shot this science fiction movie is Guo Dalu, and Guo Dalu does not have any contradiction with Thomas, and these Europeans and Americans basically have no firm reason to boycott the movie.
What's more, Guo Dalu's fan groups in Europe and the United States are also quite numerous, and when the idol's works come out, they naturally want to support them.
Chinese people are sensitive, and it is easy to raise a lot of things to the height of the country, but in Europe and the United States, these things in the entertainment industry have nothing to do with the dignity of the country at all, they are just farces, Thomas and Ma Cheng bet, no matter who loses or wins, they are happy to see it, even if Thomas loses, many people will gather around to watch the excitement.
They rarely elevate entertainment to the level of national attitudes.
Just like in Europe and the United States, film and television personnel in many countries, when filming movies, sometimes they may make fun of the president and queen, especially in science fiction movies, blowing up the capital, the president kneeling down, the president being killed, and so on, storylines happen from time to time, and government officials in reality don't care, because they all know it's fake.
But in China, if someone dares to blow up the capital and kill the president in movies and television, then this director is simply a big death, and the lifetime ban on acting is light.
Therefore, the psychological state of the people in these countries is very different from that of the Chinese people.
In China, there are many people who are preaching foreign film and television support for Guo Dalu, but in Europe and the United States, this situation is rare.
They may boycott Chinese products and Chinese companies, but few people will boycott Chinese entertainment products, with the exception of South Korea.
Chinese film and television programs can basically be distributed smoothly in East Asia, Europe and the United States, and Guo Dalu's works can sweep the box office of various countries, but the South Korean government has adopted banning measures against Chinese films, and Koreans have also spontaneously boycotted them, so Chinese entertainment works have no place in South Korea at all.
However, there are relatively few voices of resistance in Europe and the United States, although not none, but not to the point of hostility, because they dare to boycott China's things, and China will boycott their things as well.
Only South Korea is an exception, obviously South Korea has always resisted the Chinese culture and economy, but there are still people who are willing to be licking dogs and praise the Korean Wave, which is also a Chinese characteristic!
When "The Terminator" was released in Europe and the United States, it attracted the strong attention of many Europeans and Americans, and many people had great curiosity about Guo Dalu's work.
In fact, not only Thomas looks down on Chinese science fiction movies, but even the mainstream people in Europe and the United States also look down on Chinese science fiction films, and even people all over the world look down on Chinese science fiction works, and Chinese people are among them!
Now the famous Chinese director Guo Dalu has even made a science fiction movie, many people have great skepticism, and they can't help but be curious, after all, Guo Dalu has repeatedly surprised people, everyone is not optimistic at the same time, there is also a little "maybe he can surprise us again" in the depths of their hearts, so many people go to the theater to watch.
This look immediately triggered a large number of exclamations.
The super-large brain hole, the absurd but self-consistent plot logic, the extremely tense rhythm, and the just right use of stunts have all given these foreign audiences huge surprises.
They didn't have much expectations, but now they found that this movie was surprisingly good, and under this psychology, the movie that was originally 80 points has suddenly risen to 100 points!
"This Oriental who is good at creating miracles has created another miracle in the history of science fiction!"
"Although I don't want to admit it, Thomas did lose!"
"Milestone of Oriental Science Fiction Films!"
How do we guard against Guo Dalu?
"He's ending the remarks that there are no science fiction movies in China!"
A few days after the global release of "The Terminator", some film critics and newspapers in Europe and the United States expressed their opinions on the film.
In various newspaper columns, there are a lot of praise for this movie, and only a few critics condemn the film's scenes as too bloody, not to mention for underage children, even for adults, this is also a relatively terrifying work.
In this kind of environment of remarks, Ma Cheng, the manager of Tianxi Film and Television, held a press conference with a red face.
At the press conference, Ma Cheng shouted with a red light on his face: "It's been two weeks since the screening of "The Terminator", and our box office in China has exceeded 2.8 billion yuan! And the box office abroad has also exceeded 1 billion yuan!"
He smiled and said: "And Thomas's "Ruins" now has a total box office of less than 800 million yuan, and it is decreasing day by day! All kinds of data have already illustrated a problem, that is, the rampant Thomas, this white-skinned pig, his movie has been crushed by us without any suspense! He has no power to fight back at all!"
Ma Cheng shouted in front of the camera with a big belly: "Who said that there are no science fiction movies in Huaxia? That's because Guo Ye didn't participate! Now that Guo Ye participates, our domestic science fiction films will immediately rise!"
In the warm applause at the scene, Ma Cheng was complacent, "I also ask the media friends to tell Thomas who is far away in the West, and tell him that the bet between the two of us can be cashed out in advance! I can't wait to see the situation of his fiasco in saluting me!"
Media reporters were in an uproar!
A female reporter with a petite figure but a big chest asked, "Mr. Ma, do you really want Thomas to cash in on the bet under the flash?
Ma Chengdao: "What do you mean it's a bit too much? This time I won, I just said that, think about it, if I lose, what will Thomas do? Will he let me go easily? Little girl, don't ask this kind of naïve and naïve question, you will be laughed at!"
After the news reached the United States, Thomas said in an interview with reporters: "I admit that there have been excellent science fiction films in China, but it needs to be noted that this movie was shot by director Guo Dalu, not Ma Cheng, and the original words we made at the beginning were 'You can't shoot a science fiction film', I mean Ma Cheng, not the entire Chinese film and television industry! So I didn't lose!"
Ma Cheng was furious, "Nima, there is a big difference between Chinese and Western languages, and the words 'you' and 'you' in English are not the same pronunciation at all, can't I still hear it?
