Chapter 613 Scene 613 Strange countrymen

With the unblocking of the six major public opinions, the ratings of "Iron Man" on major movie websites began to climb all the way, and they both rose steadily on Rotten Tomatoes and IMBA, reaching high scores of 8.8~8.9 respectively......

As for Iron Man's box office surge, it has received rave reviews all over the world, but what is strange is that it is precisely in China that many film peers are very unimpressed, New Picture Company's "City Full of Golden Armor" was overwhelmed by "Iron Man" in the mainland, and the company's boss, the famous cannon Zhang Weiping, publicly judged the stalls of "Iron Man" on TV unfairly:

"I don't understand, in terms of artistry, scenes, and visual impact, "Iron Man" is not as good as "The City is Full of Golden Armor"~ Why is the stall of this movie more than four times ours? Is it because of Li Xiaole's identity as a Chinese film, or is it because of American movies that he is taken care of by China Film Group!? Let me tell you the truth~ "Iron Man" is a technology film with a bunch of scenes, what do you think it says in the whole film? No~!! A playboy has engaged in high-tech by himself, and boredom saves the world, this plot can only be accepted by mainland audiences......"

On Douban, which has just been established mainly by literary and artistic young netizens, the evaluation of "Iron Man" is also divided into two levels, and they like to say that Li Xiaole used the technique of commercial films to shoot previous blockbusters without connotation, which is similar to the treatment style of "Titanic", and almost all of the opponents of it say:

"After Li Xiaole went to the United States, he completely lost his previous pursuit of movies and completely transformed into a commercial assembly line director in Hollywood.

"Where is the genius director who made "Crazy Stone"? Why can Li Xiaole only make a nutritious so-called blockbuster like "Iron Man" now, what's the big deal about the high box office!! With Tom Cruise, Stallone, and stars like 'Industrial Light & Magic', even if I'm going to shoot~! can still easily get 500 million box office! ”

Even the famous "anti-counterfeiting fighter" Fang Zhouzi raised strong questions about Li Xiaole's film on Weibo:

"I have reason to suspect that Li Xiaole, the so-called "genius director", is an artificial act of creating gods...... This so-called genius director started with the tertiary film "Color is Empty", from "Crazy Stone", to "Soldier Assault", "Let the Bullets Fly", and now "Iron Man...... It seems that each work has a completely different style.

What's even more strange is that his movies have a very powerful assistant director or producer every time, from Han Sanpin, Ning Hao, Jiang Wen, to Wei Desheng, Tom Cruise...... It seems that he doesn't have to be a director at all, someone dominates every work.

As far as I know, Li Xiaole's father, Han Sanpin, of China Film Group, is a good friend, and Li Xiaole himself is even more like father and son with Han Sanpin, which is to put it bluntly, Li Xiaole's step-by-step success was made behind the scenes by Han Sanpin, the big man of China Film Group, in order to make Chinese films officially integrate with Hollywood......"

The fighter came to the conclusion in the end: "Li Xiaole is packaged by Han Sanpin, in fact, he is just a second-rate young director at best, and his real level is even far inferior to Ning Hao and Wei Desheng of Black Pearl Company......

Such news reached the United States, which made many American reporters feel incredible, as if what had happened to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero" appeared again in "Iron Man", Chinese directors made movies that mainstream American audiences liked, and American audiences were obsessed with it, while the so-called "elites" in the mainland unanimously held a disdainful attitude of criticism.

In this regard, everyone also wants Li Xiaole to comment on the rights and wrongs surrounding him, and all major media want to invite him to appear on their own programs, and the guest offer received by Black Pearl Company from Li Xiaole even surpassed the 750,000 US dollars of the White House intern "Lewinsky" who caused President Clinton to step down, reaching a price of 820,000.

Time Magazine's U.S. edition is graciously inviting Li Xiaole to appear on the cover of the magazine for the second time, this time on the cover alone, and the last time he released the iPhone with Steve Jobs, and it has only been less than a year since the Chinese director's influence has multiplied and become a stirring figure in the United States.

Now he is the youngest director with a global box office of more than 500 million, and to have a rising film and television group, Black Pearl is no longer what it used to be, and its valuation exceeds $3 billion from Wall Street investors, you must know that this company is only valued at $200 million in a year, and it has increased 15 times in just one year, all of which ...... It's all the credit of Li Xiaole, the young helmsman.

In addition to the recent anti-war frenzy in the United States, for Li Xiaole, "Time" feels that there are too many topics that cannot be missed.

Editor-in-chief John Hughes was also very annoyed because he did not stand on the united front with Black Pearl for the first time, so he could only personally invite Li Xiaole to express his sincerity.

Although this magazine has a very big influence, Li Xiaole is now on the cusp of the media, and he does not need a traditional magazine like Time Magazine to add icing on the cake to him, of course, he can't find any reason to refuse.

However, Li Xiaole has been very busy recently, and he has the promotion of "Iron Man" and the preparation of a new movie at work, at this time he is accepting an interview program on the "********" radio station, and the reason why he chose the radio program is because Li Xiaole learned English when he was a student and listened to this radio station and has its special emotions.

When Li Xiaole was in college, college students who took the foreign language test level 4 seemed to be not qualified to learn English if they didn't listen to "********", and there was no shortage of "high-achieving students" who imitated the tone of the "********" anchor in every university......

At that time, Li Xiaole never even dreamed that he would one day appear in this radio station program that radiates the world.

The treatment of an international radio station that is recognized as "brainwashing" the world by the United States would allow a pure Chinese director like him to speak freely is enough to shock those young people in China who revere American culture......

In the eyes of many college students who think that European and American culture is the mainstream of the world, although the original Li Xiaole is very popular in China, at best he is only a turtle at the same level as Feng Xiaogang********......

"Will you make a sequel to Iron Man?" The program has come to the live connection part of the interaction with the listeners, in the bright radio studio, to hear the questions of this male listener.

At this moment, the show was broadcast live in 65 countries around the world at the same time, and more than hundreds of thousands of fans were eagerly waiting to listen to the much-anticipated director's answers.

Li Xiaole pondered for a moment and said to the microphone on the table:

"I think the "Iron Man" series will definitely be like Superman, Batman, become a series of movies that everyone loves, but for the time being, my understanding of superheroes and what I want to express are all in "Iron Man", I will do the follow-up script and direction of "Iron Man", but I don't want to repeat myself, so if I shoot a movie with a similar theme, it is likely to be a Chinese superhero, you know, after all, I am Chinese, director Peter Jackson made New Zealand's masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings", I also hope to make such a film that belongs to the culture of my own country. ”

Many listeners who listened to the show through various channels couldn't help but wonder if Li Xiaole said that he didn't want to make "Iron Man" but wanted to make a Chinese version of a superhero, was he mocking China's authoritarian system for not tolerating individual heroes? Hostess Loren Mertz hahaha: "Li, can you tell us more about the Chinese superhero......

"It's too early to say that." Li Xiaole smiled, although he had an idea, he didn't want to dampen the audience's enthusiasm for the "Avengers" series, he wanted to make that movie, at least he had to wait until the 3D technology matured in a few years, and said with a smile:

"I'm sure I'll have some other new job anyway." Loren Merz said playfully, "Thank you, and we're going to have the next listener." ”

Next a girl made a call that couldn't be hotter, and a youthful and pleasant female voice rang out excitedly from the headphones of the two:

“Happyli!!! Oh my goodness!! I'm talking to you, oh my god!! Li Xiaole smiled and said, "Yes, hello, I'm Li Xiaole." The girl was even more excited, and her voice trembled with tears:

"Oh my God!! I've been making this call since the beginning and you're amazing!! I like you so much!! I love you!! "Iron Man" is so good!! It's incredible!! Oh ~ my god ......"

Li Xiaole reluctantly thanked him repeatedly, and made a "what to do" expression to Loren Mertz, and the experienced hostess immediately lowered the voice of the out-of-control female listener and helped the audience ask:

""Iron Man" has passed the box office of 500 million, Li, how do you feel?" The female listener also shouted frantically: "Lee~~ I've watched "Iron Man" 5 times, you deserve an Oscar............" The female listener also seemed to finally react and finally pulled the problem on the right track.

"Actually, like I said before, I've always been very confident that it will be a big hit, but now it's going to be honest, and I'm really excited because it's one thing to want to, it's another thing to actually do it."

Li Xiaole told his feelings, although the outside world seems that "Iron Man" is going well, but everyone in the industry knows that the tragic movie battle between Black Pearl and the Big Six is full of twists and turns, and the twists and turns of conspiracy and calculation are unimaginable to outsiders.

Although it seems that he has won a big victory, as long as he takes the wrong step in the rhythm, it is likely that the ending will be diametrically opposite, for example, if Tom Cruise is filming, such as Michelle Yeoh when he was filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and the movie is filmed a few months after it is launched, then the result may be that Black Pearl will close its doors.

To put it bluntly, there is also some luck reasons, winning or losing is only between the first line, Li Xiaole said into the radio microphone sincerely.

"We just do everything well, do everything according to the best, and wait for the harvest, and now it seems that the results are quite ideal, I am really grateful for all this, thank you to all the people who supported me and supported the film "Iron Man", without you, I am worthless as a director."
