Chapter 272: Violent Arguments Are Common
Sue the critics!
After the news came out, the entire entertainment industry in the United States was stunned.
It seems to be the first time that a director has sued a film critic, and both the director and the critic are very famous.
Public opinion exploded directly.
"Have you heard, director Xu from Huaxia sued film critic Martin."
"Why?"
"It's like, because he thinks it's an insult for Martin to mistake his film for being directed by James."
"Walter?"
"Is there something wrong, does Xu mean it, he thinks James is not worthy of being compared to him."
"That's what it means, and even he thinks his movies are very wonderful and unique, and it's an insult to compare other movies with his films, just as it's an insult to compare a beggar with the richest man."
"Fake."
"I admit that his films are very profitable, but that doesn't change the fact that his films are a piece of defense."
"This guy must have something mentally wrong."
Xu Nan's lawsuit against the film critic is, in a sense, equivalent to public outrage.
Commenting on movies is the right of the audience, everyone has the need to evaluate movies, Xu Nan sued Martin, which is tantamount to infringing on the rights of the audience, which is naturally disgusting.
The key is that his movies are also very bad, especially weird, and only a few people like them.
If his movies are really wonderful and sue film critics, everyone can accept it, but your movie is so sparse and you still sue film critics, it's really a bit too much.
Originally, Xu Nan had a mixed reputation in the United States, and there were more people who hated him than those who admired him.
Now that Xu Nan is doing this, his reputation, which he has finally improved, has taken a sharp turn again.
Looking at the public opinion on the Internet, James couldn't help but shake his head.
This director from Huaxia is very stupid, just like an idiot.
As a director, I really have to do my best to use all means to promote the movie and increase the box office. But that doesn't mean you can be unscrupulous.
Suing a film critic is a complete trick.
This Chinese director's approach is tantamount to taking the initiative to ruin his reputation and reputation, who will buy it when he makes movies in the future?
It's completely like picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon.
James's idea is the mainstream public's idea, if before, the audience's opinion of Xu Nan was still mixed with a little admiration, but now, it has become pure disgust.
Film critics, in particular, reacted the most.
What they eat is the bowl of rice of criticizing movies, and now there are film producers suing film critics, which is tantamount to ruining their jobs.
We evaluate your movie as watching you and increasing your popularity, why should you sue us.
A group of film critics cheered Martin on.
"Come on, Martin."
"Martin, I, as a film critic, support you 100 percent."
"Martin don't be afraid, this kind of prosecution is not supported by any evidence, and you will definitely not lose the case."
Martin accepted the kindness of the group.
Although he has known about this lawsuit for a long time, and it is true that he will not lose the lawsuit, others do not know about this matter.
Netizens and critics generally sympathized with Martin, causing his reviews to begin to turn around.
Soon, the trial began, and at the joint request of both parties, the trial was broadcast live in public.
Many people clicked into the live broadcast room, after all, Martin and Xu Nan are very famous.
Then, Xu Nan's violent arguments were frequent.
"My movies are high art, definitely not bad movies, Martin can't understand movies, it means that he doesn't know how to appreciate movies."
"What annoys me the most is that Martin is comparing James to me, which is an insult to me."
"Mr. Judge, have you ever seen my movie, if you have seen my movie, you will understand how wonderful my movie is."
"What, I think it's hard to watch, it seems that you don't understand movies, you don't know what a wonderful movie looks like."
"I can accept that ordinary people can't understand my films, but I can't accept that other films and directors are comparable to me."
The scene of the trial.
The judge was stunned.
The jurors were stunned.
Even the viewers who watched the live broadcast were stunned.
No, how can you say such shameless words.
Don't you know what level your film is?
There is no doubt that Xu Nan lost the lawsuit gorgeously.
Originally, the basis of his appeal was outrageous, and there was little hope of winning the case, but as a result, he made another brain-dead remark, and it was even more impossible to win the case.
After the trial was over and Xu Nan and Martin left the courtroom, the reporters who had been prepared for a long time rushed forward like sharks that smelled fish.
"Director Xu, do you really think so?"
"What are your thoughts now?"
"Do you think this trial is fair?"
Faced with a large number of expectant reporters, Xu Nan was heartbroken.
"This failure shows that the aesthetic level of the audience in the United States needs to be improved, especially the judge, who actually thinks that my movie is a bad movie, which is really outrageous"
"Poof."
A reporter couldn't hold back and laughed on the spot.
He's professionally trained, and he doesn't normally laugh, but this wave of sincerity can't hold back.
The other reporters had similar expressions.
Listen to what that's saying.
But it doesn't matter, these reporters didn't take Xu Nan seriously, they interviewed Xu Nan just to write a press release.
In essence, Xu Nan is just a clown who attracts the public, a news-making machine.
After all, a foreign director is still a well-known and very strange foreign director, and it is still a bit new to the audience in the United States.
In the past, Xu Nan still had a positive image, but after this incident, it is estimated that his image will become a pure clown in the eyes of the public, and he is also a clown with a nervous disorder.
On the other hand, reporters are also interviewing Martin.
"Mr. Martin, how are you feeling right now?"
"Do you accept the verdict?"
"Will you sue Director Xu for infringing on your reputation?"
In the face of interviews with many reporters, Martin appeared personable.
"The verdict is very fair, the judge's trial is very fair, and I am in a good mood because people can't deal with clowns."
"What? Counter-prosecution, no, no, no, I won't, because people can't deal with mental illness. ”
After answering the reporter's questions, Martin left directly in the car.
The trials did more good than bad for him.
Originally, he still had the title of the stupidest film critic in his head, and he was the laughing stock of all audiences.
Even many film critics don't like to play with Martin, thinking that he is a shame for film critics.
But as soon as Xu Nan's indictment came out, Martin was immediately whitewashed.
Both the good and the bad are compared.
Under the backdrop of Xu Nan, the big bad guy, Martin suddenly became a good person.
On the other hand, Xu Nan has become a complete clown.
