Chapter 222: Don't give an inch!
January 5th.
"Chainsaw" still holds a staggering figure of $8 million at the box office.
And behind this astonishing data is the torn apart class contradictions of the old United States, as well as the backlog of anger.
In just a few days after the release of "Chainsaw", a series of news such as racial contradictions, class divisions, and medical accidents appeared in the originally prosperous, peaceful, and stable Lao Mei.
Behind the splendor is decay, and under the glamorous coat is a filthy system!
One incident after another was exposed to the sun, and the bloody cases were unbelievable and somewhat shocking at the same time!
Even on the day of January 5, there was a shooting and people were injured.
Although this case is very ordinary, and similar cases will appear in Lao Mei every once in a while, but under this special circumstance, the occurrence of such cases is undoubtedly completely magnified.
In particular, this case also brought the plot of a white guy hurting a black guy, and it was pushed to the front page of major media by angry people.
The journalists were excited......
In this free country, they always think about heat, traffic, and attention.
They made a big report, and the content in it not only added fuel and vinegar, but also brought some mapping things in it, and even some media angrily criticized the current President Scott!
The Lao and US authorities soon realized that this situation was very wrong, and immediately suppressed some messy news and clarified and warned them.
But not long after the matter was suppressed, Olson, who heard the announcement of his candidacy for the presidency, come forward.
Wearing a suit and tie, Olsen picked up the speech in the cold and windy Los Angeles Square, and whispered in front of the countless people in the audience.
"If I take office, I will use administrative means to curb the frequent gun violence in the United States, and at the same time I will urge the U.S. Congress to do something on gun control......"
"I will let minorities be treated equally, so that freedom, the Republic of China, and the beacon of the world will no longer be slogans!"
"I will give my homeless brothers a place to live, bread and milk for everyone, and a job for everyone......"
"I will make the plot in "Chainsaw" no longer happen in Lao Mei, so that the darkness, despair, coldness, and innocence will only exist in the movie forever!"
“……”
Olsen was very young, he was very confident with his glasses, and he spoke with a sonorous voice, waving his hand several times.
He did not run away from the problems arising from the current situation of the United States like the current president, not only did he not run away, but he faced the problems head-on and gave his own insights and opinions!
Below......
The crowd erupted in cheers and screams, especially many of their black friends, who waved their hands as if to announce something in the cold wind.
This is their country, their ideal perfect American degree!
Countless reporters photographed Olsen giving a speech in the cold wind, and some even took him for a warrior in the news pages.
A true warrior who faces the darkness of the old beauty!
The Lao American authorities were very helpless after seeing this kind of scene, and they wanted to suppress everything, but they found that this flame had turned into a raging fire, and forcibly suppressing it would only lead to a more serious backlash!
The 44th general election of the United States began in 07 and ended at the end of 08.
In the original world, the first president of the United States also appeared in 08.
And this world actually has this trend.
In the familiar world, there are some different places, but the torrent of time is also rolling forward, unstoppable, let alone unstoppable!
…………………………
"Ah, Mr. Zhou Yang, are you leaving now?"
"Yes, I'm almost done designing some of the secret rooms."
"I still hope you can be a staff officer for the movie "Lamb", you don't have to be in such a hurry, and "Chainsaw" is in such a good situation now, with the blessing of this huge popularity, the box office will definitely break 100 million!"
"No, no, there is something over there in Huaxia, there is really something."
"What's the matter?"
"Sorry, Mr. Christian, anyway, I'll be back again......"
"Okay, that's a pity, by the way, you have to keep talking to me from time to time, I think with your talent, it's very suitable for the direction of crime movies like "Lamb", by the way, when will the book of "Chainsaw" be finished? I can't wait......"
"There's a chance, there's a chance."
In the early hours of January 6.
Zhou Yang declined many media interviews arranged by Warners, booked a ticket to Huaxia in advance, and after simply saying hello to Christian, he refused the driver escort of Christian and Roddy, and left the crew of "Lamb" at night.
There was no silence in the early hours of the morning in Los Angeles, not only was there no silence, but the lights were shining.
The radio in the taxi was playing Olson's news, and the first black congressman in U.S. history announced his candidacy for president at this time, which was definitely big news.
The taxi driver was a black dude.
He listened to the radio with great excitement, constantly waving his fists, and even began to roar after the speech of the speakers.
Zhou Yang, who was wearing a hat, sat in the back row and once had a feeling of apprehension about his life, for fear that he would have a car accident.
But fortunately, the driver sent Zhou Yang to the airport smoothly.
Along the way, he saw a large screen at the airport mixed with Olsen's headshot, Olsen was dressed in a smart suit and had a line on the back that read "Freedom, Democracy, Peace".
When Zhou Yang came to the airport, he hurriedly mixed in with the crowd and walked in, and soon boarded the plane.
Zhou Yang felt that he was an arsonist.
set such a big fire in Lao Mei.
He is still in the old beauty and pretends to be a ghost, no matter how low his IQ is, he knows that he must run away at this time.
After boarding the plane and waiting for the plane to take off, he had mixed feelings, and after recalling the various experiences of these days, he felt that things had exceeded his expectations.
His original idea for "Chainsaw" was to make a realistic film of Lao Mei without changing the main line of the film, so that everyone could know the nature of Lao Mei society.
There's no way, I've been with Wang Shuai and Huang Jiacheng for a long time, and the first time I came into contact with realistic movies like "Mine Bottom" and "Crow", people will inevitably be a little biased, and they will inevitably have some twisted personalities like these literary directors.
When writing the script of "Chainsaw", Zhou Yang checked the relevant events of Lao Mei in great detail, although some places on the Chinese Internet are all praises of Lao Mei, full of all kinds of "public knowledge" and licking dogs, but Zhou Yang still found out the current situation of Lao Mei.
After checking, Zhou Yang found that Lao Mei's current situation is actually very bad, even worse than the original world!
When Zhou Yang really came to Lao Mei, the phenomenon he saw proved what he thought in his heart, although the law clearly stipulates that no racial discrimination can be discriminated against, and everyone is equal, but in the dark corner of Lao Mei, you can see everywhere that the so-called "fairness" is just the election method of some Z customers, nothing more.
So, he wrote his own version of "Chainsaw".
However, he never dreamed that the influence of the movie "Chainsaw" would be so great, and it once ignited the long-suppressed anger of Lao Mei's bottom.
The beauty of this world is not the same as the beauty of the original world!
Although there are similar movies in this world, most of these movies are old movies from the sixties and seventies......
The films of the modern decades are either filming some dark sides of other countries, or movies that promote the power of the country of Lao and the United States and are full of personal heroism, or they are science fiction blockbusters about the apocalyptic future, or the so-called "inspirational" movies about ethnic minorities who are admitted to Harvard University through their own efforts and with the help of all aspects, and there are no movies that are really full of irony......
"Saw Horror" is a precedent.
But......
When he really thought about the reason for the explosion of "Chainsaw" in Lao Mei, the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt!
Christian is indeed a very awesome promoter of publicity, and Warner is indeed a promoter, but Zhou Yang doesn't feel that their energy is so great......
Why did some messy news contradictions in the United States suddenly erupt at this time? Although "Chainsaw" has realistic things in it, in fact, the main content has not changed at all, to put it bluntly, it is an escape room thriller movie......
However, look at the current Internet, no one is amazed by the shock brought by the movie, and the wind direction has all become the unfairness, discrimination, class division, and contradictions that the movie "Saw" wants to express, you must know that these things have never been the main core of "Chainsaw".
Also, why did someone take advantage of this wind to stand in the eyes of the people in just a few days, began to announce their candidacy for election, and mentioned many times that there would be nothing in "Chainsaw"?
All of this is as if there is a pair of invisible hands pushing "Saw Horror" to the front of the stage.
Everyone used the fuse of "Chainsaw" to explode what they wanted.
Zhou Yang talked to An Xiao on the phone yesterday, and after chatting with An Xiao, he confirmed his guess even more.
………………
On the morning of January 6th.
The plane landed smoothly.
Along the way, there were no accidents, and there were no hijackings or other incidents.
Sixteen hours later, Zhou Yang stepped off the plane.
As soon as he stepped off the plane, his cell phone rang.
Zhou Yang took out the phone and answered it.
"Zhou Yang, have you returned to Huaxia?"
"Yes, Mr. An."
"You have a good rest first, and tomorrow there will be a director's meeting with the relevant departments."
"What's the content?"
"Regarding the support plan for local Chinese films, at the same time, there is also the introduction of your "Chainsaw" in China......
"What? Can such a movie be introduced in China? Zhou Yang was shocked.
"Theoretically, no, but if you can cut out some of the bloody clips as required, I'll try to find a relationship!"
"This ......" Zhou Yang was a little unsure for a while after hearing the firm voice on the phone.
""Fatal Crisis" will be released the day after tomorrow, and Director Zhao Sicheng and Director Zhao will also come to this conference tomorrow, I hope that at this meeting, you will meet Director Zhao ......"
"Don't worry, Mr. An, I will keep a low profile and will not fight with the old-timers, when I was in the United States, some of the things Director Zhao said made me very uncomfortable, but I still didn't respond."
"That's not what it means!"
"That's ......"
"Straighten your chest tomorrow, say whatever you want, you may have to suffer some grievances in Laomei, but go back to Huaxia...... Zhou Yang, no matter what happens, I will stand behind you! ”
“……”
"Zhou Yang, we can be tolerant and respect our predecessors, but we won't give an inch to what we should fight for!"
“……”
(Bigwigs, stop scolding the water...... I don't even dare to puff up my chest and ask for a ticket...... )
