"It's true that cinema is a place where art and talent are created, but in fact, making films is a business, and definitely not an art."

Xiaobai sat on the sofa and answered Allen's question about his talent: "For example, me, two days ago, Universal approached me and wanted me to direct a movie, and they promised to give me $30 million in directorial compensation..."

"Oh my God, 30 million dollars! Do you agree? ”

"No..."Xiaobai smiled: "I know what they value about me, but in fact, whether it is a producer, an author, an actor or a director, Hollywood does not value talent." It's the potential for profit, and many times, it's not the artistry of his work that impresses Hollywood companies, but the benefits that can be obtained from his work.

When a person's name has a captivating audience. Or the ability to attract money in the audience's pocket, then he is the so-called "genius" that Hollywood is looking for. ”

"I have a strong box office appeal in China, so they are willing to pay a high price to invite me, but I am not short of money..."

Spread out his hand and made a helpless expression: "What can move me now is not the salary, but the work!" ”

"So, you bought the rights to "One Flew Over the Asylum", "Witness for the Prosecution", and "The Merry Girl"?"

"Yes, Billy Wilder's film should have been remade!"

Xiaobai continued: "In my mind, he is an irreproducible master, and from the beginning of my contact with movies, Billy Wyad has pinned my dreams!" ”

"Yes, Billy Wilder is a master in many people's minds... And what about One Flew Over the Asylum? ”

Eren isn't that easy to fool.

"This is my personal interest, I like to study history, I find the history of the United States in the sixties of the last century is simply shocking, of course, Ken Kersey, Alan Ginsburg, Philip Roth and Joseph Heller, I have read the works of these masters, in fact, I am most interested in "Catch-22", but that book is so classic, I really dare not move around!"

This is "Catch-22", which ranks in the top 100 best-selling lists all year round, and is a must-read masterpiece for high school students in the United States...

“… Talking about "Man on the Moon", why did you direct something like that? ”

Xiaobai was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Actually, many comedians are miserable, my favorite comedian Robin Williams committed suicide due to depression, Mr. Chaplin, Jim Carrey, and Mr. Bean all suffered from depression... Even the author of "Crayon Shin-chan", Usui Yiren, committed suicide by jumping off a cliff due to depression, I met Mr. Jim Carrey the year before last, and he was in okay condition, and I talked to him about Andy Kaufman - I knew Andy Kaufman was his idol, and then I had the script idea for "The Man on the Moon"! ”

"I hope that when someone plays a biopic of Mr. Jim Carrey in the future, the end subtitle will not say, 'Jim Carrey has never won an Oscar in his life...'"

“… You're a comedian too, right? ”

"yes, so, I can empathize!"

The topic was a little heavy, and Xiaobai hurriedly changed: "Let's talk about something else!" ”

Alan suddenly pulled out an album: "Do you know Kris? ”

“… I know. ”

Xiaobai suddenly had an ominous premonition, last year's commotion of Mr. Wu's fans - iTunes annual list, directly let the people of the world understand the power of the "Chinese water army"!

Slaughtered the entire American iTunes Music Charts!

Sister A and lady gaga's songs can only be mixed with his repertoire to "tremble", queen's songs can only "bow down", and even the estimated sales of the record once exceeded lady gaga by 1750 times!

For a while, all the old beauties were asking, "ho the fuck is this Kris u guy?" ”

And when the American masses were confused, a domestic star surnamed Wu announced the "battle situation" of his new song to domestic fans in a timely manner!

That's right, he's our "Little Prince of Skr", a new generation of veterans - I'm also fan!

Then, Mr. Wu's songs were cleared of malicious data by iTunes because of the charts, and the rankings all dropped to outside the top 100, and Sister A's new single re-topped...

This can annoy Mr. Wu's true love fans, people are obviously iron fans, and they are also smashing real money, why did they become a water army?

But Sister A, Lady Gaga's American fans don't think so, such a large-scale volume can't be manually operated, and the list must be based on some small program!

Tsk, rare and weird!

The American masses on the other side of the world really don't know the power of China's rice circle, and Mr. Wu's fans have obviously been preparing for this day for many months, and they have raised millions of dollars!

What is a slaughter list?

It's not once or twice, the technology of "controlling and commenting on the list" in the domestic fan circle has long been perfected, and the previous Cai Xukun and Zhang Yixing have also topped the ITunes US list?

It's just that it wasn't so fierce last time...

What does it mean to lose face and throw abroad, this is it!

"I heard that iTunes is preparing to open a China zone..."

The smile on Alan's face was unconcealed with disdain...

“… Well, I don't think it's necessary..."

What could Xiaobai say, he could only laugh, and then he thought of something: "Yes, Kris is not Chinese, he is Canadian!" ”

"Canadians?"

"Yes, like Justin Bieber, both are Canadian!"

“… No wonder! ”

Alan nodded thoughtfully...

Although Justin Bieber has relented in recent years, his actions have annoyed most Americans, and they have clamored for him to be expelled from the United States...

……

iTunes is preparing to open a China zone, this kind of thing is not new!

The purpose of the iTunes chart is to tell you which songs are more popular in a particular region. It's not to be richer than any fan! Restricting regions and the number of purchases is to limit this kind of behavior of relying on money to rush to the rankings!

Let's talk about the facts, at the beginning, after IMDb was opened in India, for a while, the top 250 people poured in a batch of messy movies, and then IMDb directly separated the Indian plate - don't you like to brush, brush it!

What does it mean if the iTunes Music Charts have a dedicated section for Chinese musicians?

Represents that Chinese music is not included in pop music!

Second-rate music...

You don't deserve to compete with European and American music!

Fortunately, domestic fans don't care much about IMDb, otherwise, because of Xiaobai, Chinese movies will be separated separately, and they will be national sinners!

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, Xiaobai clicked on Weibo: "Please, you singing, hug the point, don't step on the horse brush so obviously, Lao Tzu's last variety show was complained about, lose our Chinese face, you know?" ”

"Also, iTunes is ready to open a China section, your victory!"

By the way, @ I am also complicated...

Xiaobai is not a talk show with only a few million fans, he has more than 80 million fans, he can scold whoever he wants, he was scolded by Allen, of course he has to get it back!
