Chapter 208 Life is like a play, everyone is an actor

Jeffrey Katzenberg: MGM doesn't even have a professional animation department, and the Lion King must be a bunch of garbage that no one cares about. - The Hollywood Reporter

Chris Wedge: Ignorant like Katzenberg, don't you know that Blue Sky Studios is MGM's professional animation department? When the time comes, "The Lion King" will teach the so-called "Lion of Kings" to be a good man. —Chicago Tribune

"Frank Wells: I really don't understand where MGM got the courage to compete with Disney at the box office of animated films?" - The Wall Street Journal

Shirley Lansing: A bunch of eggless guys who only look for psychological solace in their past achievements, and Disney's animated films have been spoiled by these idiots. - Los Angeles Times

"Michael Eisner: I just wanted to ask if MGM has any other animated characters besides the cat and the mouse?" - The New York Times

"Peter Chenin: The new team can present the wonderful "The Lion King" to the audience, and as for the "Lion of Kings", hehe, it may be a product on Disney's assembly line, right?" - Washington Fullton Post

……

The senior executives of MGM and Disney began to tear up in the newspaper, and the two sides fought to the death and refused to give an inch.

Disney just grasped the fact that MGM was not a professional animated film, so it desperately belittled "The Lion King", a movie that had not yet been released, so as to praise Disney's own "Lion of Kings".

MGM, on the other hand, is holding on to Disney's assembly line production model, desperately saying that Disney's "Lion of Kings" is another "three nos" work with no new ideas, no creativity, and no sincerity. As for MGM's own "The Lion King", do you still need to ask - the commemoration film of the company's 70th anniversary, how bad can it be?

Watching MGM and Disney fighting in full swing, these newspaper reporters were overjoyed, it was really a rare grand occasion in the entertainment and media circles.

As a result, this group of newspapers and reporters who are not willing to be lonely also participate in the principle that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone -- each choosing the side that he is optimistic about.

Several newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, and the Washington and Fullton Post chose MGM's side, while the Hollywood Reporter, Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times were bullish on Disney.

MGM and Disney used these newspapers that supported them as a position and frantically turned on the "mouth cannon mode".

Both sides, from ordinary employees to presidents and chairmen, have not been idle, and have contributed their own strength to this "war of mouths".

This "tearing war" really made the entertainment industry and ordinary people look stupid, especially ordinary fans are even more shocked - it turns out that these Hollywood giants are so undisciplined?

Soon, ordinary citizens across the United States saw that not only these goods in the entertainment industry were not disciplined, but also those goods in the media circle were not disciplined, and they were not offline at all.

Because, unwilling to be lonely, the media decided that they couldn't let MGM and Disney specialize in beauty, and they had to get involved in it -- that's how it was fun.

First, the Los Angeles Times opened a voting column for ordinary people to choose which side they were rooting, directly spreading the flames of this "tearing war" to ordinary people -- in the name of "participation of the whole people."

Not to mention, Lao Mei, these fart people who don't know the truth, are really entertaining, and they have written or called to choose the camp they support.

I don't know if the "Los Angeles Times" has a shady scene, but the final voting results actually show that everyone is more optimistic about MGM, the "new generation of animated films", than Disney, the "old driver".

Seeing that the "Los Angeles Times" made this farce quite popular, everyone also began to draw a scoop from the gourd, and opened various similar projects one after another, with the purpose of pulling ordinary people into this "tearing war".

As a result, the "New York Times" opened a column of "Double Lions Compete for Hegemony, You Decide Who Is Higher at the Box Office", allowing ordinary people to predict which movie "The Lion King" or "The Lion King" will have a higher box office. Moreover, the New York Times has shamelessly thrown out the temptation of prize - after the results of the competition, the guessed reader will have a chance to win a prize of $10,000.

Don't think that all the beautiful people are highly conscious - they are not greedy for small advantages at all, in fact, they are also very fond of taking advantage of small advantages. No, for the $10,000 grand prize, the old American fart people wrote or called the "New York Times" like crazy, and even began to besiege the newspaper office.

The end result is not surprising, the New York Times, which stands in the Disney camp, gave the result that the national farts are more optimistic about Disney's "The Lion King" than MGM's "The Lion King".

For this result, whether you believe it or not, Disney believes it anyway, and MGM doesn't believe it at all.

Subsequently, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, the Wall Street Journal, and other newspapers also opened one after another, such as "You vote, I give the vote", "Say your choice", "Their future is up to you", and so on.

Lao Mei's fart people are not tired, and all of these similar activities are actually participated in without leaving behind - they are also full of food.

Seeing that the paper media is playing so hot, there is no reason for the TV media to just watch and broadcast some news that is not salty or light. As a result, ABC, CBS, TBS, NBC and other TV stations have also joined in, and they are consciously divided into two camps.

TBS, which was robbed of the new line by MGM, naturally has to stand on Disney's side, and NBC also chooses to be optimistic about Disney - after all, it is an "old driver".

As for ABC and CBS, they have chosen the camp of MGM, believing that this "little brother" in the field of animated films is likely to overthrow the "big brother" Disney.

If the paper media is still a bit disciplined, then these radio and television goods have no discipline at all, and even chastity is a "luxury".

They shamelessly played the scene of random interviews on the roadside, and broadcast it live, and shamelessly said that it was a welfare of freedom.

I don't know why it's so coincidental, TBS and NBC interviewers are all optimistic about Disney, while ABC and CBS interviewers are optimistic about MGM.

"**Disney, their animated movies are all plots, what's the point? Are we brain-dead?" A black guy dressed in hip-hop clothes laughed at the ABC camera and said: "I prefer MGM, the lion with "The Lion King", isn't it a perfect match? No matter what others say, I will definitely go to the cinema to support "The Lion King" when the time comes. You know, in the Los Angeles Times vote, I chose "The Lion King," and I believe I'm going to get that $10,000. ”

A cute white girl holding a plush toy of Mickey Mouse said cutely to the TBS camera: "I like Disney movies, mermaids, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse characters are so cute, I think Disney's lion this time must be very cute." ”

"Who knows what MGM is? Disney is the king of animated films, and there is no one!" said a middle-aged white man impatiently to an NBC reporter.

"I believe that MGM's animated films are much stronger than Disney's, although they are 'newcomers', but they are more sincere and innovative than Disney's 'old driver'. Because our newcomers are more creative and passionate, we dare to fight against the old stubborn forces. A white guy yelled at the CBS camera, "ilove007." ”

……

MGM and Disney saw that the enthusiasm of the people was so high, so they tore up even harder.

The very restless Katzenberg once again "made a big fuss", this guy faced reporters and once again declared that the Disney Studios he led would not only beat MGM in the field of animated films, but also completely crush the "sick lion" who did not wake up in the field of live-action films.

This "map cannon" is absolutely full of hatred, so Shirley Lansing directly replied: "Wait until the animated movie is as glorious as the Walt Disney era, and then come out and force it." ”

Hearing Shirley Lansing's response as a "shrew", Frank Wells and Michael Eisner couldn't sit still and joined the battle group one after another, and the two said: "Look at the box office and Oscars in recent years, and you can know who is the one who is not qualified to speak." ”

"Huh. This is Peter Chenin's divine reply.

Anyway, the next day, all the newspapers in the United States made the front page headline Peter Chenin's "hehe", and many people across the country followed suit - to express their disdain.

Recently, Zhong Chuhong, a "crooked nut", is really stupid, and the "tall" Hollywood movie giants in her heart are actually like children - they are torn up in the air on newspapers and television.

The most important thing is that these American viewers are also so "funny", looking at these goods on TV, are there still normal people?

However, Zhong Chuhong said that it was very normal for newspapers and TV stations to be so undisciplined-haven't they always been so undisciplined?

At this time, Zhong Chuhong just wants to ask, how boring are you Hollywood movie giants - can you still have a good career?

In fact, Zhong Chuhong didn't know that this qiē was directed by the man next to his pillow.

Yes, this qiē and qiē are all moths made by Su Chenyu, but Su Dashao didn't expect this group of guys' acting skills to be so good - life is like a play, and all of them are actors.

Ladies and gentlemen, you never expected it, right? The plot has taken a shocking reversal here -- the life-and-death MGM and Disney who are "fighting" in your eyes are indeed acting. Moreover, even those undisciplined newspapers and television stations are acting with MGM and Disney.

Yes, everyone is really acting, acting, playing......
