Chapter 738: Two Dogs Are Fighting
In the Far East, these two small countries across the sea are absolutely enemies in all respects because of many factors such as history, and even if they have a common master, the quarrel between them has never ended.
After Disney's press conference with South Korea, the Asahi Shimbun published a questioning article.
"It's strange that the premiere of "Transformers" will be held in the capital of South Korea, rather than Tokyo, which is far better than Seoul, after all, "Transformers" first originated in Japan in the strict sense, and later reached the peak of the animation period in Japan, Tokyo has a better film culture atmosphere, which is definitely incomparable to Seoul......"
The whole article is full of Japanese arrogance, and the obscure disadvantage of their old enemy, South Korean Bian.
The day after the Asahi Shimbun article appeared, a public opinion poll was launched on several major forums in South Korea and North America called "What is the area where South Korea is better than Japan?"
The online survey elicited responses from many South Koreans, and the answers were even more varied.
"Entertainment such as music, dramas, and movies are much stronger than in Japan, and the pop culture represented by the 'Korean Wave' is difficult for other countries in Asia to match."
"If there's anything better than Japan, it's a romance movie. Japanese movies are no longer good now. In addition, it is better than Japan in the shipbuilding industry and the electronics field."
"Korean is better than Japanese, and Japanese is a language that has been influenced a lot by Korean."
"Is there anything better in Japan than in Korea?"
Compared to the voices in South Korea, people in the North American forums are a little calmer, and there are a few people who say that Korea has many advantages over Japan in terms of numbers, but in reality there are almost none, and many parts of products such as mobile phones and televisions are imported from Japan, and almost all the machinery used in factories is made in Japan or Germany.
Behind these slightly more sane voices. It is accompanied by almost all invective from South Koreans, such as 'Korean traitor', 'traitor', 'no sense of honor', etc.
Similarly, the South Koreans' remarks were quickly refuted by the Japanese, who may have difficulty accessing the South Korean Internet, but there are also many Japanese studying and living in North America.
"Comparing South Korea with Japan is a foolish thing in itself."
"Romance movies, online games...... Is this the answer for elementary school students? ”
"South Korea's entertainment, electronics, and other fields are all 'grafted' with Japanese culture and technology."
"We admit that Japanese is influenced by Chinese, but it is too cheeky to say that it is derived from Korean."
Many Japanese people are also sarcastic -- South Korea is indeed stronger than Japan, paranoid, self-centered, and unfounded self-confidence! If you can't win, put the blame on others......
This war of public opinion has no tendency to die out quickly. With the help of a network with a higher degree of freedom, the two sides continue to show the lower limit of each other's IQ in front of the world.
South Korea, in particular, is full of self-confidence and superiority at all times.
"Let's take football as an example, the Japanese team will never be able to become the boss of East Asia because the Korean team is so special."
"Running, speed, efficiency, technique, unity, these are the things where Korean football is far stronger than Japanese football."
"In the 2002 World Cup, South Korea was third, and if it wasn't for the unfair decision of the referee, South Korea would definitely have reached the final. Even lift the Hercules Cup! What about the Japanese team, what were their results in the 2002 World Cup? Poor Round of 16 ......"
South Koreans talk about football, and the Japanese refute it in this regard.
"Japanese football is not good?! The so-called 'World Cup myth' of the South Korean team relies on the help of referees, is it really the South Korean team that is the center of the whole football and the whole universe? How can Brazil and Germany be embarrassed? ”
"On the stadium. South Korea's ability to rely on various 'off-the-field forces' to win is indeed difficult for Japan and all other countries in the world to surpass, and how Italy and Spain lost in the 2002 World Cup. Who in the whole world doesn't know? ”
"Wake up, South Koreans, you know? The U.S. web even gave birth to a new coining phrase 'Don't. Korea' - specifically refers to the opposition to South Korea-style unfair punishment. South Korea, which really has to be 'admired', has been thrown out of Asia. ”
"South Korea is Pinocchio that will never evolve. Self-centered, pride without connotation. If you lie a hundred times, you will believe it. Ignoring reality, the world is indeed lamenting itself."
This war of words spread from the Far East to North America, and then fed back to the Far East from North America, and the two sides were so happy that they didn't even vomit the hair that entered their mouths.
South Korea and Japan are annoying on the North American network, and some Americans can't help but express their opinions.
"South Korea is indeed stronger than Japan, I have been to Seoul and Tokyo, South Korea has much stronger plastic surgery technology than Japan, and artificial beauties can be seen everywhere......"
"That's true, I heard that South Korean beauties are all artificial, and if I look at these plastic surgery beauties every day, I won't sleep well at night, and I will have nightmares."
Seeing that there were people in solidarity, the Japanese jumped up and down.
"South Korean women all look like they have the same face, and when they get older, these fake noses and mouths will collapse like monsters."
"South Koreans' 'hypophilia' has reached the point of hopelessness, and I really admire that South Koreans are so thick-skinned"
There are also Japanese people who have posted photos of several South Korean national idols - if such women are the standard 'South Korean beauties', these women with big noses, small eyes and big pie faces are everywhere on the streets of Seoul.
Even, the Japanese sarcastically regarded these artificial beauties as goddesses, and only South Koreans on earth can do them, which is simply an insult to human aesthetics.
Doing too much of anything can cause aesthetic fatigue, and South Koreans and Japanese are making noise on the Internet in North America, and many Americans can't help but start criticizing.
"It's just two small countries, it's really idle."
"I don't understand what Japanese people do when they are entangled in South Korean women, even if there are more South Korean women than Japan? It's all artificial. ”
"South Korea is hypocritical, the Japanese bully the weak and fear the hard, and the two countries will only obediently submit in the face of the powerful United States."
Withdraw from the Yahoo Forum, which is one of the main battlefields of Japan and South Korea. Ryan closed his laptop and stretched out, and Nicole, who was putting Sandy to sleep on the other side of the couch, couldn't help but look over.
"Isn't it funny?" Nicole gently shook the cradle and asked, "What happened?" ”
"Two dogs are fighting." Ryan walked over, sat next to Nicole and whispered, "Two dogs, you bite me, I bite you, and the mouth is full of each other's dirty hair." ”
"Japan and South Korea?" Nicole could roughly guess what Ryan was talking about, "Two boring little countries." ”
"Isn't it?" Ryan shrugged playfully. "Whatever they quarrel, it's better if they can quarrel and start a war."
"There is North Korea ......" Nicole has also begun to care about politics after "Argo", "they will definitely not be able to fight." ”
"That's right." She added, "North Korea is still protesting against our trailer, will it affect the premiere?" ”
"It doesn't matter, anyway, our products can't enter the North Korean market through legitimate channels."
Protest or something, just publish it, when did Hollywood care. "The film also needs a few human villains, and they're the most suitable, aren't they?"
The film will also be released in China, and Disney will not be stupid enough to add some lines that are unfavorable to itself, anyway, North Korea has more black pots than Iran. It doesn't matter if it's more.
A few days ago, the North Korean government also issued a formal protest to Disney, arguing that Disney described North Korea as a country rampant with terrorism in the trailer, and held the world premiere of the film at Seoul Tower. It's clearly for another purpose.
Then again, Disney really has no other intentions, just because South Korea is offering a higher price for sponsorship. Disney also needs to develop the Far East market.
If North Korea is willing to shell out more than $10 million in sponsorship, Ryan will immediately let Michael? Bei revised his lines, even if the premiere of the film was held at the Giethoorn Hotel, it was not a non-negotiable thing.
Nicole beckoned the nurse to carry the sleeping Sandy into the room, picked up Ryan, and walked out the back door of the villa towards the garden.
"I heard you're ready to go back to work."
Walking into the garden path, Ryan reached out and pulled the leaf of a hydrangea flower, "Is there a suitable script?" ”
"The other day, I was with Buzz? Director Ruhrmann talked about it. Nicole stepped over Ryan's casually tossed blades on the road, "and he wanted me to invest and star in his new movie." ”
"Can you know the name?" Ryan asked with a frown.
"A story similar to Gone with the Wind." Nicole said as she walked, "Probably it's going to end up being 'Australia.'" ”
Ryan turned his head to look into the distance, he had seen all the movies starring Nicole in his previous life, and naturally knew that this movie cost $130 million, but only recovered more than $40 million at the box office.
"Do you have any different opinions?" Nicole knows Ryan well, "The last time I was with Buzz? Ruhrmann's collaboration on Moulin Rouge was a rather pleasant one. ”
"I haven't read the script and can't judge." Ryan said as he recalled the situation of another movie, as if the original book was published this year, "Nicole, some time ago, someone recommended to me a novel with a non-fiction theme, and I think it has a lot of adaptation value. ”
"Name?"
Nicole knows that she can make Ryan say a very valuable novel, and she can't be wrong, "It can't be bought by Disney, right?" ”
"Of course not." Ryan lightly nodded his forehead, "Weakness: The course of the game, it should be called that." ”
"I'll have someone check it out." Nicole repeated the name and took it to heart.
"And, Nicole." Ryan hesitated, but said, "It's better not to release the film next year." ”
Hearing Ryan's words, Nicole turned her head and looked at him quietly for a while, and finally said nothing. (To be continued......)
