Several Zhang Yi's movies before the new picture were distributed in North America, such as "Hero" was released by Miramax, and the distributors of "Ambush on All Sides" and "The City Full of Golden Armor" were all Sony classics...

Including "Three Guns Shooting Surprise", "Hawthorn Tree Love"...

Sony Classics is owned by Sony, so it is unlikely that it will take over the distribution of "Thirteen Hairpins"!

In fact, North American audiences don't care much about World War II works related to Japanese benzene, including Eastwood's "Flags of the Fathers" and "Iwo Jima Family Letter", the former was grossed by Hungry Rice for 30 million, and the latter was only less than 14 million.

No, "Indestructible" directed by Angelina Jolie, that is, the story of the hardcore ruthless Louis Zamperini's fierce capture and torture, sold for more than 100 million in North America!

I don't know if filming a story about Li Mei making barbecue in Japan will be a global hit?

Ahem...

In fact, Japanese benzene attaches great importance to whitewashing itself!

The Japanese benzene company is very influential in Hollywood, and two of the big Hollywood companies are the Japanese benzene company: Sony Columbia, Sony Classic...

Plus, they can control a lot of media!

In the original time and space, during the North American screening stage of "Thirteen Hairpins", it was violently attacked by "The Hollywood Reporter", "The Wall Street Journal", including the "New York Times"...

They smeared "Thirteen Hairpins" very simply, saying that it was a 'film invested by the Chinese government' and a propaganda film demonizing the Sino-Japanese War! ’…

In the original time and space, after the release of the movie, the mayor of Nagoya publicly made a statement that "the Nanjing Massacre does not exist"...

In order to clear up the relationship, Bell also emphasized many times that he is just an actor and does not care about politics!

Shen Xudong asked her if there was any good way, and Joseph confessed: "If you want to release this film in the United States, the best time is in May or June next year, don't rush to the Olympics... Now that you are distributing and releasing the film, I am very worried that the media will pull the film politically, because the power of Japanese benzene in Hollywood is obvious to all, and the Western society supports the attitude of Japanese benzene denying the Nanjing Massacre from the bottom of their bones. ”

"What if I pay someone to argue for me?"

Joseph shook his head: "It's useless... Not many people cared about it... Unless the movie is really good... It's like "See for Yourself", "Ivan's Childhood"..."

Shen Xudong pondered for a moment, and then said, "It shouldn't be to that extent..."

"If you understand... In our time, there are no classics! ”

"But I just want it to be released in December... You help me calculate the score, how much will it cost me to release it on a large scale... Call me later! ”

"No need to wait," Joseph replied directly, "at least $15 million..."

"My grass, so expensive?"

"You've got to hold on to the box office, right? You have to find weighty experts and film critics to write some praise, and you have to arrange more media to help you say good things... All of this requires money..."

"That's not $15 million, is it?"

"I've already reported it less, risking offending Sony... but also to challenge the traditional perception of Americans..."

Shen Xudong was puzzled: "You are also an American, you believe in the Nanjing Massacre very much..."

Joseph was speechless: "That's because I've been to the Holocaust Memorial and know a lot about it, how many people in the whole of America do you think have seen the memorial like me?" It's not like you haven't seen Spielberg's filming of "Empire of the Sun"! ”

"Okay, I see..."

……

"Empire of the Sun", of course Shen Xudong knows, the work of the great director Spielberg.

The original book of this movie, which is roughly understood, is far from the theme of the movie.

Spielberg's adaptation is so big, the whole movie seriously scandalizes the image of Chinese, but there is no positive Chinese!

Spielberg is really for art, can't you give a positive image of China, it is obviously the political correctness of the West and the contempt or hatred of China, and the name of the movie is "The Empire of the Sun", which country is self-evident, and it is clear that he is looking at the Japanese invasion of China as a child...

It's kind of like the Iraqi military correspondent they photographed the U.S. military.

If all of Spielberg's war movies are similar techniques, then I may think that Spielberg does not understand war and idealizes war too much, so he will make this movie, but in fact, another film he made as a Jew, "Schindler's List", depicts the cruelty of the Nazis, the cruelty of war, the suffering of Jews, the unity of people facing despair, and the brilliance of Jewish humanity vividly.

So, the Jews are noble?

If we make a "Crusader Empire", a Chinese child during World War II, in a German concentration camp, full of admiration for German fighters and Germans, portraying Germans as mighty and majestic. By the way, the Jews he met were all greedy, profit-heavy and calculating, while the Germans were more three-dimensional and majestic...

I wonder if anyone will blow this movie as epic?

……

If there is no memory, Shen Xudong may really spend money...

Exchange a film for the sympathy of the American public...

Think too much!

Americans don't care about any of this at all...

They don't even care about the world, especially Hollywood stars, who don't know anything about the real world, and Golden Globe host Ricky Gwens mocked them in public: 'If ISIS sets up a streaming platform, you will continue to work with it for money.'" ’

I thought it was an exaggeration before, until the well-known actress Patricia Arquette said something like 'drive Russia out of NATO'!

This Patricia Arquette is not a star, she has won the Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, and various awards...

As for the Japanese Benzens?

They generally believe that the atomic bomb attack on Japan is already tragic enough, and China has repeatedly shown its scars to the world, so it is better to take care of its own domestic affairs first!

There is also a view: Is it trying to cover up the true history of China's efforts to promote the Holocaust? Was the Nanjing Massacre real?

The so-called director uses his reputation to make a film to expose real historical events to the world...

It doesn't mean much!

Belonging is to overestimate the influence of the film...

Without the support of public opinion behind you, do you still want to convince the world?

The Jews, using the film as a tool of mass communication, constantly reinforces that historical memory.

Not to mention, they have invested even more in real historical research.

What about us?

"Rabe's Diary" was dismal at the domestic box office and failed to be released in the United States...

But then again, I remember the North American evaluation of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", the media praise rate is 33%, which is very bad; The audience praise rate is 83%!

Therefore, it is impossible for Shen Xudong to do nothing, throw 10 million US dollars, and spread the spread of the movie...

This is also his obligation as a Chinese!

Shen Xudong asked that Joseph to contact the new line and let the new line take over the distribution - no more Olympics, it will be released directly in March next year...

……

On the 13th, the company, Shen Xudong looked at the box office of "Thirteen Hairpins" on the first day and word of mouth, and at the same time told Gao Fenfen his opinion:

"If you want to rush to the Olympics, it's difficult, this movie is too fair... I discussed with the United States, not to rush to the Olympics, to be released in May or June next year, and to choose a colder schedule. ”

"Is it impossible? PR doesn't work either? ”

Shen Xudong shook his head: "Public relations can't be done... If you watch "A Farewell" and "Bicycle Boy", you will know that "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is far behind! ”

"How good is "A Farewell"?"

"Very good... And "Little Shoes" didn't win the Oscar that year, which can be regarded as compensation for Iranian films! ”

"A Farewell" is one of the most successful works in the history of Iranian cinema.

From the Fajr Film Festival in Iran, to the Golden Bear and Silver Bear in Berlin, to the Golden Globe Award and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, the film has won nearly 100 awards at major film festivals and selections.

"Does Director Yi know about this?"

"I haven't told him yet..."

Gao Fenfen calculated the schedule and said, "... The day after tomorrow, you will also go to Nanjing the day after tomorrow, and when we meet, I will explain to him in detail..."

“… Yes... However, the box office of "Thirteen Hairpins" was only 14 million yesterday, which is not high! ”

"It was released at 6 o'clock, and it was remarkable to break 10 million."

“… Word of mouth is ok..."

As he was talking, Chen Xi knocked on the door and came in, holding a few newspapers in his hand: "As you expected, experts and professors jumped out!" ”

Shen Xudong was happy: "Who are they?" ”

"Zhu Dake of Tongji University, Xiao Ying of Tsinghua University. Professor Qinghe of Zhejiang University... Especially Zhu Dake, he directly scolded "The Thirteen Hairpins are Zhang Yi's dream of making a fortune"..."

"Zhu Dake, I know, who scolded Xie Jin before and won a lot of fame?"

"Yes, yes, that's him!"

Shen Xudong took the newspaper, and then said: "Xiao Ying... I also know..."

"What's his amazing research?"

"Nope..."
