In this kind of America-wide debate, the American entertainment and film newspapers and media naturally will not turn a blind eye to this matter, and the entertainment edition of the Chicago Sun reported with the headline "Disaster movies trigger a doomsday boom":
"Remember in 1986, there was a national panic wave of "Halley's Comet will hit the Earth" triggered by "Comet Hits Earth"? Remember the 2004 debate that "The Day After Tomorrow" sparked a "Northern Hemisphere is about to enter an ice age"?
Yes, this is the magic of film and television, every time there is a classic disaster movie, which is too real to present the environment, it will inevitably make people believe that it is true, and the virtual story is about to happen, and what people didn't expect this time is that this nationwide panic wave is not a super disaster movie, but caused by a post-apocalyptic zombie-themed TV series like "The Walking Dead", no matter how you look at it, the audience who has watched "The Walking Dead" far exceeds "Comet Hitting Earth" and "The Day After Tomorrow", From free-to-air TV, paid cable TV, and the Internet, more than 300 million viewers have watched the series, so it's not unusual for such an imaginary event to occur......
And "Daily Entertainment" said even more jokingly: "Li Xiaole, the Chinese director who was previously known as the representative of oriental elegant art, was denounced by the Western religious circles as the demon incarnation of the 'son of Satan', many people because of the fact that his TV series has begun to jihua2012 Before the arrival of Jihua2012, how should Zuihou spend six years, if you have a crush on a certain girl, quickly confess, even if he rejects you, you are not afraid of being hurt, because the end of Shijie is coming soon......" Its report was accompanied by a photo of Li Xiaole walking down the street alone with an expressionless face, and Zuihou wrote:
Critics seem to have completely misestimated the Chinese director's potential, and if he had focused on B-grade films, he might have become the second Quentin Tarantino, and it remains to be seen whether 2012 would be the end of Shijie, but how much has Li Xiaole achieved in Hollywood before 2012? Can he surpass his predecessors Wu Yusen and Ang Lee? It's something we can look forward to......"
At 2 o'clock in the morning that night, Lei Ting, who was wearing a T-shirt, got up to go to the toilet, and saw the light in the living room on.
"Aren't you sleeping yet?" Lei Ting walked over and looked at him curiously.
"Hmm......" Li Xiaole heard her voice, immediately turned his head to look, and said, "I'm just thinking about something." ”
"What's the matter? Because you've killed a few families of Brazilian fools and homeless tragedies? Lei Ting squinted her eyes and came over and sat down beside him.
Li Xiaole shook his head and turned his head to look at her: "I'm not worried about those stupid people, they are to blame, I was just thinking about how to promote my next movie." ”
"Your next movie? Do you already have jihua? Lei Ting looked at him curiously, now that the pirate station is on the right track, although Mina is not enough to control the entire company, as long as it is executed according to the shooting jihua formulated by Li Xiaole, the future of the pirate station will only get better and better, and it only needs to be allowed to develop naturally.
But what is really worrying is that in terms of movies, Li Xiaole has offended everything that should be offended and what should not be offended this time, not to mention Sony, even if Fox and other remaining four majors, the relationship with Li Xiaole has dropped to the freezing point, although no one dares to argue with Li Xiaole on the surface during this time, but secretly they have taken a cold approach to Li Xiaole, and Warner is none of his business, hanging high, and no one will be offended if he does not interfere.
As a result, when Li Xiaole makes another movie, then all the theaters controlled by the six major banners will no longer have contact with him.
"Well, I'm going to make a superhero movie." Li Xiaole said very calmly, now is the time for him to take out his trump card, the cooperation with Marvel has begun to be officially carried out, he has been waiting for a long time, the superhero series, the foundation of their Black Pearl Lianmei Company in the future, is also the most fundamental wealth to compete with the Big Six.
Marvel's Spider-Man, X-Men, and Fantastic Four are already famous in the film industry, but the copyrights of other superheroes are in his hands, Li Xiaole certainly does not plan to shoot all by himself, and when the company forms a certain scale, he will directly set up a project for professional producers and directors to produce this series of films.
What he has to do now is to make a good start to this series, which is the most important thing, this time it is Black Pearl United States, which does not rely on other companies at all, and shoots and distributes a film in North America truly independently, which cannot be missed.
"You're going to make a superhero movie?" Lei Ting opened her mouth slightly, looking at Li Xiaole in disbelief: "This really doesn't look like your style." ”
"What style am I?" Li Xiaole turned his head to look at her curiously and asked rhetorically.
"Don't you know? insidious, cruel, cunning, cold, pretending to be cool, pretending to be innocent......" Lei Ting kept counting in one breath, so that Li Xiaole couldn't listen to it anymore, and waved her hand again and again with an embarrassed face, interrupting her:
"Enough~Enough~~ Am I as unbearable as you described......?"
"Absolutely." Lei Ting nodded as a matter of course.
Li Xiaole touched his nose, thinking to himself, when he was engaged in those conspiracies behind his back, they were all executed by Lei Ting, and he was indeed not very decent when he said it, so he could only sigh and say:
"What then? It looks like I have to save my image, I'm a superhero movie that wants to make money, why should I pretend to be honest and kind......" So he turned sideways, looked at Lei Ting and asked:
"Sister Tingting, the funds we recovered from "The Walking Dead" and "The Vampire Diaries" should have been almost tens of millions of dollars, right? After you get the 4-story theater chain with the current funds, how much is left? ”
"It is expected that more than $80 million will be recovered, enough to pay off our debts and buy hard advertisements to establish relationships with those theaters, but I still need at least two months to do this." Lei Ting frowned and said, "What, what do you have to use the money?" ”
"I wondered if I should do some positive publicity for my superhero movie." Li Xiaole stroked the bangs on his forehead with his hand and said, "For example, donate money or something?" ”
"Well......" Lei Ting thought about it, this request was very legitimate, and immediately understood Li Xiaole's intentions, nodded and praised: "This is a good way, in the name of donations, to attract other media to interview, and then by the way to reveal your next new work, and can win a good reputation, and can publicize, it is really good......"
"So what is the most famous charity we are engaged in, and what is the most beneficial charity project for us? Sister Tingting, what is your opinion? Li Xiaole blinked his eyes and looked at Lei Ting as if asking for help.
"It's easy." Lei Ting quickly called the information in her mind and said: "There are several aspects of charity like this, one is to set up a foundation to help the sick and disabled, this kind of more flattering, can get a good reputation, but if you want to promote superhero movies, then I suggest that you can set up a foundation to help stray cats, or Tibetan antelopes and other animals, which will be recognized by women and children, which is more flattering...... zuihou is donating to school construction, which I don't think makes sense, it is better to donate to China's Hope Primary School. ”
"Well, it's all good...... Li Xiaole nodded thoughtfully: "I think the meaning of superheroes is to save ordinary people, since if we want to save, can we save some groups of ...... who have been negatively affected by us?" ”
"That's a good idea, aren't the fools in that small town in Brazil ruined their families because of doomsdayism? We can set up a foundation to help them......" Lei Ting said halfway, suddenly felt that something was wrong, turned his head and glared at Li Xiaole with those evil eyes:
"Wait, you've already thought about it, and you're deliberately leading me to say that, right? Feelings: You can't sleep at night, and you feel guilty because of what happened to you like such a stupid person? ”
"I didn't think so...... From beginning to end, it's all Sister Tingting's idea......" Li Xiaole showed an innocent look, spread his hands and said, "Did I say anything......?" ”
After speaking, Li Xiaole stood up, turned his head to look at Lei Ting, and said:
"Do you think that a sinister, cruel, cunning, cold, cool, and innocent villain like to pretend to be innocent, I can't sleep most of the night because I made a doomsday movie that was too real, causing those Brazilian idiots to bury themselves? How is this possible ......!? Okay~~ Sister Tingting, don't fantasize, you can deal with this matter tomorrow, I'll go to sleep......"
When Lei Ting was speechless, Li Xiaole sounded something halfway through, turned around and emphasized: "Sister Tingting, let's donate 15 million, I think it should be enough, don't donate too much, I'm in a hurry with you if you donate too much, if you have more money, you will build an orphanage...... I've heard that there are a lot of orphans in Rio......"
Lei Ting looked at Li Xiaole's childish appearance in a daze, and waved his hand with his back to her, but he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, although this guy has a very hard mouth, and he acts very insidiously on weekdays, and it can even be said that he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, but in his heart, there is a kind of innocence and kindness similar to that of a child...... Such a man is really inexplicably exciting......
Late at night, Li Xiaole lay back on the bed and looked, the stars were lonely, the moon was in the sky, so he simply turned off the lights in the room, and let the cool and clear moonlight reveal the floor-to-ceiling windows to shine in...... I'm getting ready to fall asleep...... Suddenly, I felt someone push the door in.
