Chapter Thirty-Six: Stained Propaganda?
Every March is the off-season for movies, and this year is no exception, of course, the North American market is collectively high because of a "Black Panther"...
But mainland audiences really don't have much interest in such a pure assembly line special effects blockbuster, except for Marvel fans, few people are really willing to watch "Black Panther".
Then, a bunch of people began to lead the rhythm, saying that the Chinese people were racist...
The mainland box office of "Black Panther" will tell everyone how serious the 'racial discrimination' in the mainland is! โ
Big brother, the global box office of "Black Panther" is close to $1.3 billion, and the local box office in North America is $760 million, does it mean that all parts of the world, except the United States, are suspected of racial discrimination?
The most mainstream consciousness in China is nationalism, and this thing is fundamentally contradictory to racial equality!
Most of the audience entered the theater with the mentality of appreciating popcorn movies, and everyone's focus was on special effects, fights, soundtracks and action!
Who cares about black equality?
Are there blacks in our country?
Fifty-six nationalities have blacks?
!
Black buddies can laugh at themselves when they watch "Black Panther", we have watched the hand-tossed devil for ten years, and finally have a "Wolf Warrior 2", but we were scolded as 'little pink'!
โญ(โฏ^โฐ)โฎ
Why is it well received abroad?
If you have a bad review, you are racist, and if you are racist, you are our enemy.
In foreign countries, racial discrimination will be subject to lawsuits!
It doesn't seem to be eaten in China...
By the way, there are still a lot of people who say that this is the first black superhero movie!
"Blade" to find out, Halle Berry's "Catwoman" to find out...

In late March, the third piece of the puzzle "Pacific Rim: Thunder Rising" was released.
Describe this blockbuster in a simple sentence: the plot is illogical, the presentation of the mecha has no texture, and if you want to play it, you can make it one out of the other, just to last for two hours, and sell advertisements by the way.
Probably what the director, screenwriter, and producer thought in their hearts was, "As long as there is a bombardment and a blockbuster visual effects blockbuster, the audience will buy it." "Transformers 5", the worst in the series, also won 1.5 billion box office in China. โ
I didn't expect the Chinese audience's movie-watching quality to grow so fast!
was complained about by various people, the box office collapsed, and then I also ran into Spielberg's "Ready Player One"...
Eight lifetimes of blood mold!
"Ready Player One" is definitely a gift from the old man to the audience!
The story is actually very old-fashioned, nothing more than a teenager who has nothing, constantly fighting monsters to pass the level, making friends, encountering love, and finally realizing his dreams.
This is the old stalk of Jin Yong's martial arts story.
But such an old-fashioned story can also play new tricks, stimulate the audience's strong curiosity and desire for adventure, and even spontaneously produce a sense of happiness and joy in the end, which is really not something that ordinary directors can do.
Spielberg, a seventy-two-year-old man, can still have such a movie, which is really admirable!
In fact, if you talk about logic, there are too many differences in the logic of the whole "Ready Player One", especially the police officers who appear at the end of the film!
Can a legal society allow any organization or individual to forcibly kidnap debtors to work as coolies simply because of a debt dispute?
Does a society under the rule of law allow an organization to have its own army and hunt down other people on the streets?
However, Spielberg successfully won the attention of everyone with his superb directing skills!
The visuals, the colorful egg designs, and of course, the passion and innocence of Spielberg's favorite teenager.
Ready Player One is a story of pure goodness!
Especially at the end, the old man said, thank you for playing my game...

In the capital, Bai Xiaofei's studio, Xiaobai is losing his temper.
"Can it be a little faster? I need to finish the soundtrack, color grading, and subtitles of the movie in 10 days! โ
"I can't listen to nonsense that I don't have enough time!"
"If I have enough time, why should I let five teams work at the same time?"
Just now, the person in charge of special effects told him that the time was too tight, could he delay it for a week.
Delay your sister, the registration time for the Cannes Film Festival will be on April 14, and there will be twelve days left!
"If it doesn't work, find a few more companies, and be sure to complete the remaining special effects within five days!"
"Got it!"
"Soundtrack, is there a problem?"
โโฆ No problem, I'll try to get all the soundtrack work done within 48 hours! โ
"What about color grading?"
"The entire painting forest was contracted by us, and they guaranteed that within three days, the color grading of the film could be completed!"
"Well, any more questions?"
"Director, if you do this, the expenses will be doubled!"
โโฆ If it increases, it increases, and the investment in this film is less. โ
looked at a few people in charge, all panda eyes.
โโฆ Well, when it's done later, I'll give you a long vacation for a month! โ
"Thank you, Mr. Bai..."
replied weakly.
"Paid!"
โโฆ It's true? โ
"When did I lie, but you must keep an eye on me, quality and quantity, don't worry about money, I will provide a fund later, that's all, let's dismiss!"
Everyone dispersed...
Xiaobai sat in the conference room, lit a cigarette, and groaned.
Or the cycle is too short!
However, he is determined to win Cannes, and if he wins the Palme d'Or, his status will be turned upside down!
"May I come in?"
โโฆ Of course, please come in! โ
It's Zhong Lifang.
Extinguishing the cigarette, Xiaobai looked up at her: "What's wrong?" Can I help you? โ
"Something happened, there has been a bit of a big donation fraud in the circle recently, do you know?"
โโฆ Do you think I still have time to care about that? โ
Pointing to his dark circles, Xiaobai asked rhetorically.
โโฆ Uh, I just want to say that we have also donated a lot of money in the past few years, have we implemented it? โ
Zhong Lifang was a little embarrassed, after Xiaobai came back from Xia*men, she kept staring at the later stage, only sleeping for two or three hours a day, and the whole person was going crazy, she also knew it!
"I don't know about this, you go and investigate, it's really not good, let's do our own charity fund!"
Xiaobai didn't think about it, and said casually.
"Let's talk about this, there's one more thing..."
Zhong Lifang seemed a little difficult to speak.
โโฆ Just say anything, why are you spitting and spitting? โ
"Kaixin got the ticket to Cannes, and she will appear on the red carpet at that time..."
"She? How did she get the admission ticket? โ
"L'Orรฉal is in contact with her and has the intention of cooperating!"
โโฆ What does that have to do with me? โ
"Can you arrange for her to pose for a hard photo of the airport with you then?"
Xiaobai still doesn't quite understand, what does this thing have to do with him?
โโฆ Let's publicize it, Kaixin has become a young actor with works, which is very beneficial to her image! โ
