This matter did not end immediately, and before the release of the film, Ryan did not want it to end, and it did not hurt for the film to maintain a certain amount of topic heat.

In the face of surging public opinion pressure, Roger? Albert was quick to hit back.

"Many people haven't seen the movie, but they have been deceived by some people, "Transformers" is really bad, it's just that it's good to still play with toys, people who are not educated or culturally educated, those who have a rich experience of watching movies and are well-educated will definitely think it's a bad movie after watching it!"

His riposte, which had just appeared in an online column, was again met with sarcasm.

"I think this kind of talent is the saddest thing, and he actually talks about things with the level of education."

"This recent Transformers incident has shown me the shamelessness and ignorance of some people."

"In a word, old man...... This film is not made for you to see, if you say yes, I guess few people will watch the movie. ”

"This old guy is clearly jumping out to hype, I heard that the treatment of film critics has been very poor in recent years......"

The controversy gradually shifted from the Internet to television, and NBC's "The Ellen Show" brought together key members of Ryan's most fervent fan group in North America, the women's fan group on New York's Upper East Side, who confronted the television camera and confronted Roger directly. Albert declares war.

"The quality of a movie is ultimately determined by the audience, and the box office is the most intuitive reaction."

The fan group apparently came prepared, "What's that called...... What Roger? Albert people, how about we make a bet? If the global box office of "Transformers" is less than $600 million, we will run naked from the East Coast to the West Coast, and if the global box office is above $800 million, you will never publish any more film reviews, dare you? ”

Regardless of Roger? Whether Albert wants to use the hype to attract attention, or whether he really hates "Transformers". Allan? After DeGeneres' talk show aired, he became the target of many media reporters, and some people threw this question directly in front of him after blocking him.

A pity, Roger? Albert didn't write a response, he wasn't a fool, and he didn't have his head in the water to agree to such an unreliable bet.

Perhaps, deep down, he also admits that this film has many box office hits.

After all, that horrible advance ticket numbers. It's enough to overpower the final box office of quite a few Hollywood movies.

Although "Transformers" entered November, the official pre-sale activities around the world began, but it is difficult to calculate specific numbers overseas, but in North America, the home of Hollywood, when Ryan and other crew members boarded the plane to Seoul, the box office pre-sale figure of "Transformers" was close to $110 million.

Of course, 3D and IMAX contribute more than half.

Disney's negotiations with the North American theatrical alliance ended in October, securing 4,150 first-week theaters for "Transformers," including 3,500 3D screens and 220 IMAX theaters.

Another round of 3D and IMAX theater construction boom that began in the summer. More high-ticket screens for Transformers.

On November 19, slightly earlier than North America, the world premiere of "Transformers" officially kicked off at Seoul Tower.

At the very end of the red carpet is a one-to-one scale model of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. After some South Korean stars walked down the red carpet, the head of the Peterbilt 389 tractor truck and the Camaro sports car slowly drove up to the reserved positions in front of their respective models, causing a wave of cheers from fans.

Two cars parked, Ryan and Alessandra? Ambrosio stepped out of the Camaro sports car. Michael? Bey and Josh? Duhamel jumped off the bilt truck.

Almost all the reporters gathered around, and the 'goddesses' of South Korea were ignored by the media.

If it weren't for the fact that security personnel had already gathered around the four of them. Hundreds of reporters could almost completely overwhelm Ryan and them, and even then, they stayed by the car for as many as ten minutes amid flashing lights and incomprehensible Korean.

It wasn't until the security guards parted ways that Ryan took Alexandra by his arms? Ambrosio walked into the interview area, and the South Korean journalists who followed it almost turned it into a vegetable market, which gradually quieted down after the organizers repeatedly sent more people to maintain order.

Afterwards, there must have been a routine interview ceremony, and Ryan also answered a few questions through a guò translator.

It's just that after asking a few questions about "Transformers", South Korean reporters gradually shifted the topic to South Korean films.

"Mr. Jenkins, it is said that you strongly advocated the premiere of "Transformers" in the Seoul Tower, why is that?"

Hearing the translator's words, Ryan had the urge to roll his eyes, obviously it was the South Korean side that made Disney feel tempted, right?

"Cinema is a pan-global form of entertainment, and the language of cinema can bring any country and nation closer together."

Probably dissatisfied with Ryan's obvious coping answer, another South Korean reporter asked, "In recent years, Korean films have made great progress, I don't know which Korean film and which Korean movie star have left a deep impression on you?" ”

"This ......" Ryan couldn't help frowning slightly, he seemed to have seen a few South Korean movies in his previous life, but he didn't have any impression at all, "I'm sorry, I don't know much about South Korean movies and movie stars." ”

Although he was saying sorry, he didn't mean to apologize.

"But South Korea has already entered the North American market, and it has achieved good results."

It seems that if Ryan doesn't praise South Korean films, these reporters won't give up, and they continue to ask, "Do you think Korean movies will have an impact on the local film industry in the United States?" ”

"Do you think it will?" Ryan asked rhetorically, then continued, "I don't answer questions that aren't related to Transformers. ”

"Korean films just won the Venice Film Festival ......"

"Lee Byung-hun has appeared in many Hollywood movies, and I heard that Disney offered him a salary of $15 million and invited him to star in "Thor" ......"

"Can Korean female stars break into Hollywood? Will their entry into Hollywood affect the status of first-line female stars in Hollywood? ”

Listening to one more confident question, Ryan simply gave his bodyguards a look, and then left the interview area under their cover, leaving only the voice of 'Smecta' behind him.

"Why are they so confident?"

Alexandra who has been holding Ryan? Ambrosio was very puzzled, and when she walked into the Seoul Tower, she asked puzzledly, "Maybe it's better to describe arrogance?" ”

"They've always been confident."

When you get into the elevator, Michael? Bei followed from behind, and after refusing the South Korean staff to enter, there were no more outsiders in the elevator, and Bei's words were even more unkind, "You know, just now a reporter from South Korea asked me if their films beat Hollywood movies on a global scale, will I come to South Korea to develop?" ”

"God...... "Alexandra?" Ambrosio muttered, "They seem to think completely differently than ordinary people. ”

"Ryan." Michael? Bei looked at this side and asked curiously, "Haven't you been studying oriental culture?" See why this is? ”

"I don't know much about the country, and I only know superficial things." Ryan looked at the elevator display of the changing floors, and said simply, "A country that was only a subject country in history, and did not really have its own history and culture, suddenly became one of the countries in the Far East with the best economic situation one day, and naturally wanted to seek a higher status in other places, such as culture, politics, and history. ”

"But in this regard...... Ryan gestured to you know, "they really don't have much to be proud of, so they falsify history at will, eager to identify famous people from all over the world as descendants of South Koreans." ”

"I thought about it." Michael? "You wrote about the First Power of the Universe and the Zenith Nation a long time ago, and now South Korea seems to be in the state described in that article. ”

"In fact, South Korea is the center of the universe." Ryan deliberately joked, "In the eyes of some of their own people, they probably think that their movie will definitely conquer the world." ”

"It's just a dog in the United States." Michael? Bei said disdainfully, "Their own culture is not even the mainstream culture of the Far East, what did they use to conquer the world?" ”

"With plastic surgery."

It seems that Alessandra? Ambrosio paid attention to the online debate between Japan and South Korea some time ago, and suddenly made a joke.

"South Korean artificial beauties look much more sophisticated than you." Ryan waiting for Michael? After laughing, Bei said, "You don't mind if I say that, Colin?" ”

"You said they were artificial beauties!"

The elevator doors open at this point, Alessandra? Ambrosio was the first to walk out.

In public, the three with the later Josh? Duhamel has become a standard Hollywood celebrity, showing his elegant manners while keeping enough distance from the South Korean side.

Ryan only nodded politely when confronted with an individual introduced by the organizers, and only reached out to shake the other person gently when he heard an introduction with a title of sufficient weight, even if the person in front of him was the president of the South Korean Film Association or the head of the cultural department.

Although these South Korean filmmakers are full of inexplicable self-confidence, even in the next few years, the so-called rising South Korean films can only prevail in South Korea, let alone enter the mainstream Western market, and even if they are released in the film markets of other countries in the Far East, it will only be a hit.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is much easier for South Korea to conquer the world with plastic surgery than with movies. (To be continued......)
