Chapter 707: Unwilling
As we all know, in the most dangerous time of the economic crisis in 2008, when Lehman suddenly declared bankruptcy, the ensuing interruption of the capital operation system led to a very large number of small and medium-sized enterprises that need to rely on short-term commercial paper as funds and pay wages unable to settle payments and pay wages, which on the one hand makes a large number of enterprises that can still operate on the verge of default and bankruptcy, on the other hand, it also makes many enterprises, or capitalists, take the opportunity to lay off a considerable number of working people.

A purely rational analysis shows that the main purpose of the bailout plan supported by the Bush administration and the new president was to prevent a larger wave of bankruptcies and firings.
Of course, because many people have not been laid off, and many companies have not gone bankrupt, but they have caused the market to show signs of depression, that is, the living standards of many people have fallen, so this has made many people think that the dollar bailout plan is only a plan to save the banking industry that caused the crisis in their lives, and the federal government does not care about the life and death of ordinary people.
Remember, this is the result of an analysis based on cold, emotionless logic, in which the quality of life, or human measures such as happiness, must be completely removed.
To put it simply, it is to think about people as pure numbers, just as senior officers in a war only think about where the battle line should be maintained.
The rupture of the entire chain will naturally affect the global economy, among which, China, which has been growing bilateral trade with the United States year by year, has obviously also been affected, according to some incomplete statistics, in the first two years of the economic crisis alone, China will lose 10 million jobs.
Of course, it's another thing to say that every bailout is siphoned off by the bank's board of directors and CEOs and executives. But at the very least, the IRS has set aside a lot of extra money for the United States by taking tax on each dividend, and the president and Congress have reached a consensus on who to pass on the financial pressure......
Generally...... Well, from a certain point of view, in order to maintain the world economic system from being completely paralyzed, the US bailout plan is still more responsible.
For China, which has a large population and huge potential for its domestic market, the financial crisis is more of an opportunity to shift its economic model.
However, everyone understands that since China's accession to the WTO, China's economic direction has been too deeply tied to the international economy, and this kind of passive turn is indeed full of difficulties.
Of course, although China's economy has already begun to carry out economic restructuring, such as the strategy of developing the western region, the result is that China's economy has been further tied to the world economy, after all, after 2001, the United States is still the engine of the world economy.
But when the engine began to wheal and even shut down because of burning incorrectly labeled gasoline, China could not be spared.
In Phoebe's view, if the Chinese start to fully shift to a domestic economy, regardless of the life and death of the world economy at this time, then the world economy will slide further into the abyss, of course, the result is likely to produce unpredictable things, such as war, which is obviously what the Chinese do not want to see - maybe they want to see, but they cannot accept the consequences that will be affected.
It can be said that the Chinese will also support the US bailout plan, but there is a premise for this, that is, the current US administration must show a more cooperative attitude than the previous administration, after all, the over-issuance of dollars for bailout will obviously put China's economic adjustment under greater pressure.
In this case, the United States is bound to show favor to China to a certain extent, especially in the media industry, there have been signs of "stopping a lot of negative news about China", of course, what we are talking about here is stopping a lot of reporting, not not reporting at all, after all, the people still like to see negative information about China, which will make Americans feel: Well, the United States is still so good.
On the other hand, as I said before, it was difficult for Phoebe's films on the theme of the Three Kingdoms to be released in American theaters, but in the case of political needs, Americans suddenly found that they did not not only conform to American values, but also praise Chinese film and television works, and some of them were also very old works, which made Phoebe's films enter the first sequence of the publicity plan, so her films will also get an initial broadcast agreement of 2,000 screens without barriers.
Of course, as Phoebe secretly manipulated Internet film reviews, in the early days of all kinds of abuse of her own films, even madly scolding China, this made the United States high-level very nervous, on the one hand, quickly let many big-name film critics who did not have to speak out say good things for Phoebe's films, and by the way, for China, on the other hand, 1,500 screens were added to play Phoebe's films......
Anyway, as a fledgling and unknown rookie director, he should really smile Jiuquan to get so many releases...... Well, I guess I'm ecstatic.
As for why Phoebe's movie has a part that embodies American values, it is very simple, because Sixi and Miss Six are both engaged in the resistance movement to protect their homeland from violation, just like "The Patriot", but the difference is that Sixi died in order to stop the nomadic invaders chasing Miss Six...... However, in the Internet film review guided by Phoebe, it is called that women alone cannot protect their homes, and they also need men.
So, on the side of the United States, Zhao Yun, who was originally considered the backbone and hero of protecting his homeland in the movie, was scolded for being bloody, and he had the flavor of "being a man can't be too Zhao Yun".
Why was Zhao Yun scolded like this? Because Zhao Yun defected to Uncle Liu Huang for the sake of his ideals, the matter of defending his homeland was left to the untrained people in his hometown.
And in China, people still like Zhao Yun very much, which makes Americans think, at least from this point, that although the Chinese also have heroes who defend their homeland, they are not as good as us Americans.
In fact, in the eyes of many viewers, the role of Sixi does not have to die, but Phoebe must kill herself, the reason is only Barbara knows, Phoebe is to leave such room for Americans to evaluate.
That's right, Phoebe did it on purpose.
In today's era of particularly advanced consulting, a film can easily be forgotten by the audience if it lacks controversy, which obviously goes against her original intention of using movies to promote girls' generation into the markets of various countries.
And Miss Six played by Taeyeon is indeed loved by many people - the cute and cute in the first half of the plot makes many people think she is very cute. The emphasis on righteousness and decisiveness in the second half is very much in line with the perception of leaders by audiences from all over the world, and even many people feel that if they were Sixi, they would be willing to give their lives for Miss Six.
From this point of view, Phoebe's plan is still very successful.
As for the Chinese actors, well, although Phoebe is not a good person, she is not a bad person, with her skills as a director, the actors will always be in the emotional state they need when filming, so the audience not only remembers the role of the idealist Zhao Yun, who people liked very much at first, but later hated it, but also remembered many other Chinese actors, such as Miss Six's other wedding girl Sanxi.
In any case, the results of this film can be regarded as a very successful work in the American, European and Japanese markets, so the film has also become very popular in China.
Although Zhao Yun's part makes many Chinese feel uncomfortable, except for Zhao Yun, the others are not bad.
Actually, many people don't know that Phoebe originally wanted to use more black Zhao Yun harder, because in this way she could create more topics in China, but the reaction of the Chinese actors let Phoebe know that this version is enough now.
In fact, in China, film and television works with the theme of the Three Kingdoms can be regarded as enduring. There are actually not a lot of moviegoers, and in addition to the two leading actors in the film, Phoebe and Taeyeon, the other actors are all Chinese actors from the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts, so the movie has advantages in terms of distribution and release, so the initial achievement is very good.
And as American, European and Japanese film reviews were translated to China by "well-wishers", there was also a trend of secondary viewing in China, because Chinese wanted to see whether foreigners were right or not.
After the second viewing, such a statement began to appear on the Chinese Internet: When the motherland needed you, you ran out...... How, how.
Obviously, this statement is aimed at those overseas Chinese Americans, including Phoebe, as mentioned before, in the victim-type nationalist ideology, overseas Chinese are actually a kind of people who are excluded, while the strong-man nationalist ideology will treat overseas Chinese as their own.
As mentioned earlier, China's domestic nationalist ideology is facing a stage of alternating between the old and the new, and since Phoebe is aware of this trend, she will naturally make the most of it.
Therefore, as one of the overseas Chinese, Phoebe wants Chinese to discuss whether overseas Chinese are good or bad people in their understanding of Zhao Yun.
Of course, as an official position, it is obvious that Zhao Yun is also a good person, although Zhao Yun did not stay in his hometown to build and fight against foreign enemies for the sake of ideals, but if you look at it on a larger scale, overseas Chinese, including those who did not return to China after studying abroad, are still very good for promoting a positive image of China, for example, Phoebe who shot such a good-looking movie.
At this time, the role of Phoebe's previous steps into China began to be revealed, whether it was the donation to the ambassador to South Korea in the name of his family to the Sichuan disaster area, or Phoebe's support for China when he hosted the KBS international radio program, whether it was Phoebe's performance during the Beijing Paralympic Games or Girls' Generation's performance in the Sichuan disaster area, all of which made the Chinese officials very satisfied, and it was clear that Girls' Generation had the qualifications to become an old friend of the Chinese people.
As for the anti-China remarks of Girls' Generation that were rumored on the Internet before, it is obviously easy to find out that they are rumors, and the people who created the rumors have the identities of fans scattered all over the company's other groups, so many things really can't stand up to thorough investigation, as long as someone thoroughly investigates, it is easy to figure out the merits and the motives of the parties.
As a result, the Chinese media also began to agree, Zhao Yun is purely an idealist, and at the end of the movie, he also specially filmed Zhao Yun's last wish is to send the first big gun used in his life back to his hometown for burial.
Oh yes, the name of this movie has been forgotten all along...... Phoebe is really weak in terms of naming, and the name of the movie is called "Gun Guard".
Of course, Phoebe did more than that in order to show her understanding of Chinese culture, otherwise the film would not have been taken so seriously by the United States.
For example, in the DVD version ready for release, it contains ten Chinese accents such as Chinese Mandarin, Chinese Sichuan, Chinese Cantonese, six English accents such as British English and American English, four French accents, three German accents, three Portuguese accents, and six Spanish accents. The company's technical capabilities in spoken speech software are just a combination of the acoustic lab in California and Titan's technology.
The Chinese actor who participated in the film also said in an interview that although he was informed by Director Song that he would make various language versions based on computer technology and collect everyone's acoustic signature information, he didn't expect to come up with such a result that he didn't need a voice actor, but only used the actor's own pronunciation to simulate various languages......
Well, I forgot to mention that Phoebe claimed that the investment in the film was $430 million...... Although the IRS knows that Titan has always been very active in paying taxes, but I didn't expect Phoebe to be so cheating on the movie, so, seeing that the box office is very good, I am afraid that I can't collect much tax, but the IRS also knows that Titan's lost person system is indeed not cheap, and if Titan wants to recover the investment in Desert New City, I'm afraid this money is not enough...... That's another topic, so let's not talk about it for now.
As for South Korea, as I said before, Phoebe did not plan to arrange the release of the movie, of course, this is also related to South Korea's own film and television work policy, this movie is obviously very propaganda China, the South Korean government will naturally not allow the screening, even if the United States arranges the screening, they will not do it.
However, Girls' Generation fans know that Taeyeon and Phoebe made such a movie, and Phoebe's fans know that the movie's reputation abroad is basically very good, so although they can't go to the cinema to watch it, they are all looking forward to it after knowing that there will be a DVD version for sale, especially when the Girls' Generation fans in China have made a lot of interactions between Miss Six and Sixi through illegal means, the CP fans of Toffee shouted again "I will live on this this year" A kind of slogan that I really want to get a DVD.
As the owner of Knowles Light, how could Phoebe forget this good opportunity, so the wealthy Knowles Light soon announced that according to the registration time, the first 500 valid registered fans will get free DVDs, and the rest can get DVDs according to the ratio of 1 to 100.
People who are anti fans feel too embarrassed at this time, and they really want to get free DVDs, but the things that people only give to fans of Knowles Light also said in the past, after all, anti fans, in essence, are against Girls' Generation, against Phoebe, and want to get their works, what kind of mentality is it?
However, like many people in European and American audiences who have different views from more people, they also feel very unwilling...... Why......
