Chapter 421 .【The Final Battle】
The first to come forward was MGM Pictures' royal writer Philip Houghton.
On the Yahoo website, this gentleman gave harsh criticism of a series of "Havoc in Heaven" trailers released by Dream Entertainment.
"No matter how you look at it, this will be a magic movie built up with special effects, not to mention whether the special effects part of this drama is good or not, just talk about the myths and stories that circulate in foreign countries, it is difficult to resonate with us. It is true that the producers are now trying to make up for this shortcoming, popularizing the storyline of their "Havoc in Heaven" through online games and mobile games, but we have to see that these effects are still limited after all! As traditional Americans, we are most exposed to American culture, even the mysterious Indian culture, and as for the damn Chinese culture, it is estimated that it can only be exposed to in universities. ”
"Oh no, no, I may have been a little wrong. The Chinese culture, which is known as broad and profound, is actually very popular in terms of their food, such as dumplings, fried noodles, and delicious steamed buns...... But what does this represent? Does it mean that we Americans are out-and-out foodies, or does it mean that they can only get their hands on these two or three things in China? What the four great inventions, those have become antiques! What kind of ancient civilization, relying on the old and selling the old is almost the same! As for their myths and legends, what if you don't know? Do we have to watch this movie full of special effects in order to understand this myth? No! We want to say no to this cultural kidnapping! Because this is America, we are free America! ”
"Now, the two dramas "Avatar" and "Havoc in Heaven" are going to premiere together. As a citizen of the United States, as a citizen who has enjoyed the gifts of Western culture and civilization. Which drama should we support? Whether it is a hyped bloody fantasy film or a fascinating sci-fi blockbuster, I believe that every sane and sober person will make the most correct choice! Supporting "Avatar" is supporting your own national brand culture, on the contrary, supporting that "Havoc in Heaven" is raising bullets for your enemies! Open your eyes. Our compatriots! ”
As soon as the royal literati Houghton's comment came out, it immediately caused an uproar, some people said that he was a patriot and a guardian of American culture; Others said that his remarks implied racial discrimination and disdain for attacking Eastern civilization.
However, what more people see is the slander and boycott of the drama "Havoc in Heaven" by traditional American audiences. In the eyes of many Westerners, the so-called Eastern culture and Eastern civilization. It's as terrible as a flood beast, and it's unacceptable! Must be resisted!!
In the midst of the discussion of this blockbuster, another Colombian filmmaker stood up and analyzed the promotional trailers of the two dramas "Havoc in Heaven" and "Avatar" from a very professional technical point of view.
In the end, it was concluded that "Havoc in Heaven" will be a bad special effects movie; And "Avatar" will be a sci-fi movie!
As for the fundamental reason for such a conclusion: the Chinese can't even make the most basic science fiction films, how can they shoot such magnificent magic films?!
Some people even questioned the trailer of "Havoc in Heaven" released by Dream Entertainment. In fact, it is a gimmick made by other large companies to "ghostwrite", and it was not filmed by Yi Feiyang at all!
This kind of suspicion is getting louder and louder with the help of some well-intentioned people.
Some people even publicly shouted that Yi Feiyang's previous movies were all fake, and they were made by others!
The reason is that the IQ of Chinese directors is generally very low, and it is impossible to make so many classic movies!
Ridiculous reasons!
Very ridiculous reason!
Some sad Americans use very comical logic. To send such an idiotic conclusion!
But these idiotic conclusions have resonated with many racists or American megalomaniacs.
Yi's success has hit their self-esteem deeply. Let them feel inferior, let them not hold their heads up, now there is finally a reason to question his success, how not to make them impulsive?!
And the consequence of impulsiveness is that a vigorous war of words has been formed on the Internet.
This war of words is so boring and small compared to the "Ice Bucket Challenge" set off by Yi Feiyang, but for those who love Yi Feiyang deeply, they will never allow their idols to be hurt in the slightest!
Just when the skeptics were scolded by Yi Feiyang's defenders, two videos suddenly went viral on the Internet.
The first video shows that Mr. Houghton, MGM's royal literati, accepts bribes and wantonly fabricates lies and fabricates facts to attack Yi Feiyang's candid video. In the video, Horton laughed with the check: "Don't worry, I'll kill that Yi Feiyang, and his upcoming blockbuster!" ”
The second video shows Yi Feiyang exchanging the fundraising funds for the ice bucket challenge, which lasted for about a month, into food and clothing, and personally delivering them to the hungry refugees in need.
Below these two videos, there is only one sentence: see clearly, their truest side!
As soon as these two videos came out, there was an immediate uproar!
The Americans, who originally represented justice, are a despicable villain in private!
The genius director who was originally questioned is such a respectable person in private!
What is Conscience?
What is Axiom?
Show it all at once!
In response to this incident, the Washington Post, the largest media in the United States, first spoke: "We have nothing to say, we can no longer question everyone based on likes and dislikes, his efforts are obvious to all, and as the conscience of the filmmaker, he makes us even more ashamed!" In a word, support him, and even more support his films! We must watch "Havoc in Heaven"! Immediately followed by Sky TV in the United States: "Although there have been constant controversies and doubts during this time, it is precisely because of this that we can clearly see what kind of person China Yi is?" His actions put us to shame because what he did, we did not; His efforts make us proud, because his actions prove that there are still many good people in this world! Where there is love, there will be love! Fall in love with China. Support his "Havoc in Heaven"! ”
As soon as the two media outlets made a statement, the whole United States. and even the attention of the whole world to Yi Feiyang and his new film, which directly detonated the earth and became the first place in Internet searches!
In a word, everyone is looking forward to the release of Yi Feiyang and his new film "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace"!
……
The annual Christmas in the United States is spent in this kind of noise, and soon, the new year has arrived, and the world has ushered in the first light of 2005.
And today, January 1. It is also the day when the two super monster blockbusters "Avatar" and "Havoc in Heaven" were released together.
According to the traditional premiere, there is no need for this drama to be released in one day, which will not be good for each other's box office.
However, everyone knows that this time it is not only the release of the film, but also the "battle for the throne" between the great director Cameron and the new super director Yi Feiyang.
Which of the two will become the new king of directors. Then it will be shown through their respective films.
As the masterpiece of the great director Cameron who has been sharpening his sword for eight years, this sci-fi blockbuster carries too much of his hard work, and as Yi Feiyang's first super Chinese movie, "Havoc in Heaven" represents not his personal success or failure, but the rise and fall of the entire Chinese language.
From a political point of view, Cameron represents the strength of the Republican Party behind him. And behind Yi Feiyang is the scepter of the Democratic Party. They have become the most powerful weapon in public opinion, and they are also the occupiers of the commanding heights of the media, and their victory is the victory of the forces behind them, and their defeat is the sorrow of those in power.
Arguably. Each of them had too many reasons to win, but there was only one throne. Who will ascend to the throne?
Hollywood has always had all kinds of competition, and all kinds of gunfire and secret battles, but this time, everyone is focused on this rare battle of the century.
The battle for the "King of Directors" is the big title of this event, and Hollywood, no matter what industry it is, has begun to join the group and choose their favorite directors to cheer.
As a veteran who has been immersed in Hollywood and the American film industry for many years, Cameron has gathered a lot of people around him. Among them are peers, journalists, sports stars, as well as business tycoons and political stars. In the words of the media, he is the only king in Cameron's kingdom, and if you want to describe how powerful he is, then, keep your eyes open, when one of his plays is released, it will be enough to paralyze a city!
That's the power of Cameron, that's the magic of Cameron!
Now, if you want to PK head-to-head with such a demon king-level director, what are the odds of Yi Feiyang, a Hollywood tyrant? !
People are curious, so they pay more attention to it.
On January 1, from the morning onwards, Dream Entertainment received all sorts of phone calls, either media reporters for final interviews, or Yi Feiyang's supporters to celebrate, and a small number of opposition parties called to make trouble and sang about the premiere.
In short, Dream Entertainment's phone calls were about to be blown up, so much so that Yi Feiyang had to temporarily order that all other calls would not be answered except for the company's necessary business contacts.
The most important thing for movie premieres is, of course, the cinema where the premiere is held, and this time the two big directors are also ingenious, one south and one north, occupying the two largest movie theaters in Los Angeles.
Cameron occupies the Caesar's Coliseum to the north; Yi Feiyang occupies the Tang Dynasty Theater in the south.
Because the positions are opposite, the two are going to face each other tonight, so this battle that has not yet begun has been hyped by the media as the "New Civil War".
As the main battlefield, from early in the morning, many people gathered at the gates of the two movie theaters, including the surrounding area, most of them are media and fans. However, because the number of people is so large, it has already exceeded the previous limit of 1,000 people for movie premieres, and has reached an astonishing gathering of 10,000 people, in order to prevent accidents, the US police have to dispatch mobile forces to the scene to maintain order and maintain security.
It can be said that the premiere of a movie like this can make the police feel unheard and have to intervene, which is unique in the whole of Hollywood; This shows how popular the two super directors Cameron and Yi Feiyang have become.
If it is said that the police are involved in maintaining order, what is even more surprising is that the American political circles have also launched a call, and the Republican Party and the Democratic Party of the United States have formed propaganda teams to call on the public to support their own side of the movie.
What does this mean? It shows that the film competition that everyone speculated before has risen to the height of political wrestling, which is completely correct. True!
In fact, none of the above factors are taken into account. It can be seen from the crowd gathered in the movie theater that most of the people who support Cameron are the middle class, or elites in the United States, and the rest are predominantly white audiences. The groups gathered at the Tang Dynasty Theater to support Yi Feiyang are mainly Chinese, Asian, black, and some underprivileged people. Compared to the bright clothes over there, they looked much shabby.
At this moment, at the entrance of the theater, a media reporter is interviewing the audience who are waiting to buy tickets to enter the theater.
"Hi there, friend! Why do you want to support Yi Feiyang's movie? ”
The black man who was interviewed struggled to organize his clothes. In order to make yourself look better on camera.
"You, are you interviewing me, man?" The black uncle was a little unconfident. "Anyway, Yi is a good person, a filmmaker with a conscience, yes. I've never met anyone as kind as him! We poor people love him and love his movies! Even if you can't eat bread, you have to watch his movies to show your support for him! ”
"So, don't you feel a little too impulsive to do that? And irrational? After all, it's a bit too hasty to elevate the love of a person to the love of his movies?! The reporter asked.
"What? What is impulsiveness and what is rationality? Oh my God. I don't know any of this, but what I do know is that as long as it's easy to shoot, it's a good movie! The black uncle said clearly and with some excitement, "What's more, I heard that this "Havoc in Heaven" is actually filmed for us poor people, which means that we poor people can't be controlled by the 0.01% rich people, we must rise up and find our freedom!" ”
The black uncle's words made the reporter dumbfounded, "Ahem, to be honest, I didn't expect this upcoming movie to have such a deep meaning." ”
"That's because you're never short of food and clothing, unlike us, who had a very difficult Christmas!" The black uncle had long since lost his previous apprehensions, and said in a very impulsive tone, "This is the condition of you middle class, how can you understand the sorrow of our small citizens?" ”
The reporter was a little embarrassed, but he still asked, "If you have to make a decision, Cameron and China Yi, who will you support in the end?" You know, Cameron is American, but China is Chinese! ”
The black uncle smiled: "I support those who have helped me!" And don't care about any bullshit nationality! ”
Journalist, speechless.
……
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
From five o'clock in the afternoon, all kinds of celebrities flock to Caesars Studios and the China Theater.
Everyone was in a good mood and talked loudly about the movie war that was about to start this night.
Inside Dream Entertainment.
Yi Feiyang sat in the boss's chair, smoking a cigarette, smoky, on his desktop, three balance iron balls, colliding with each other, moving, drawing one curve after another.
Bang Bang Bang!
This is the sound of a ball hitting each other.
Bang bang bang!
It's the sound of someone knocking on the door.
Dures, the vice president of the company, walked in and said, "Everything is ready, just waiting for your order to go." ”
Yi Feiyang nodded, his eyes narrowed.
Suddenly, he asked, "Say, will we win?" ”
Dures shook his head: "I don't know...... Although I was hopeful that we would win. ”
Yi Feiyang smiled, "Yes, what a beautiful wish; You know, if it weren't for me, the play "Avatar" would have been a miracle in the film industry...... And he, Cameron, will become a well-deserved god in Hollywood! ”
Yi Feiyang's tone was firm, and it didn't seem like he was joking.
Yes, who knows like Yi Feiyang that in his previous life, this "Avatar" swept the world and achieved the 2.7 billion box office myth of earth-shattering ghosts and gods? ! And who knows, this drama broke the most all-time history in Hollywood? Who knows, from now on, no drama will be able to surpass this classic?
"Avatar" itself is a miracle existence, and now, Yi Feiyang wants to challenge this miracle, can he really win?!
"Alright, let's go!" Yi Feiyang didn't say anything more, got up, Dures took his clothes from the hanger, Yi Feiyang put on, and when the mouth buttoned, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Alba came.
At this time, Dures said very knowingly: "I'll go and prepare the vehicle first." Then he walked away.
Watching Dures leave, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Alba glanced at each other, and then said to Yi Feiyang: "Yi, are you nervous?" ”
Yi Feiyang smiled, "Why do you ask that?" ”
"I heard that you locked yourself in your office and didn't let anyone disturb you." Hathaway said, "Even Jessica and I can't see you, can we?" ”
"That's right, on the eve of the big war, I need to be alone and quiet."
"And what about the premiere, why don't you let us go with you?"
Yi Feiyang apologized: "I'm sorry, I know this is a bit too much, but I hope you can understand my ......"
"We understand you, we just want you to know that we have your back at all times...... Even if you don't let us go with you, we will be behind you and be your most solid backing! Hathaway said affectionately.
Yi Feiyang stretched out his hand to caress Hathaway's cheek, and said emotionally: "Thank you, thank you!" Then he kissed Anne and Jessica on the forehead.
It's getting late, and he has to leave.
Looking at the beloved, Anne Hathaway and Jessica silently prayed and blessed them. 6
