"Millican is such an unpredictable country!"

This is a former evaluation of Time Magazine, and now it has become the heartfelt words of Zhou Wen, who has been in North America for more than half a month!

Zhou Wen is the head of Dunhuang's newly established North American office.

He was already working in the U.S. before finalizing the final distributor in North America.

Therefore, he can be said to have witnessed the whole process of "The Silence of the Lambs" in the North American market "finalizing the release, launching the promotion, and releasing the "Silence of the Lambs" in the North American market

But the experience of most of the previous half a month was not as great as the impact brought to him in just a few days after becoming popular.

Today, from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, the Gulf of Mexico in the south, and the Arctic Ocean in the north, almost everyone on the North American continent is talking about the movie "The Silence of the Lambs" or the explosive events that it caused.

It is basically predicted that this film will win the best box office result in the history of Chinese films in the North American market.

Holding popular good works, Zhou Wen, as a representative of Dunhuang, is naturally sought after in various ways.

Of course, he also knew that Dunhuang was not sent to him to enjoy flattery.

In addition to overseeing the distribution of the company, he is also tasked with collecting and screening the feedback from the North American audience for the Dunhuang headquarters to use as a reference for the North American market.

But, how to say it...... This is really a job that refreshes his three views!

After the North American real-life ogre and the skinning maniac said that they would sue "The Silence of the Lambs" for "infringement", a lawyer from Real TMD publicly declared that they were considering helping them fight a lawsuit.

Well, it sounds ridiculous, and Zhou Wen and the people at Universal Pictures have also chosen to ignore it.

- Although in this era, North American "litigator" lawyers are rampant, often like to occupy the moral high ground of speaking for the weak, blackmail some large companies, and get rich overnight with compensation.

But no matter how you look at it, standing on the side of ogres and skinners is not considered a moral high ground.

What's more, who doesn't know that the cost of litigation in North America is extremely high, and Zhou Wen and they don't believe that these lawyers will fight lawsuits for criminals for free.

To put it bluntly, they're just rubbing the heat.

This is also normal, no matter at home or abroad, whenever a big hit movie appears, there will always be all kinds of people who rub the heat uninvited.

Compared with the lawyer who was ignored, another object of heat made Zhou Wen not know whether to be happy or worried.

——A white-left congressman from California, when talking about this hit movie, commented on the male lead:

"If you remove Hannibal's ogre identity, I have a lot of resonance with him......"

-- After the fading of the Cold War, the process of globalization has accelerated, and the white left forces in North America have been expanding in recent years.

Although there are different definitions of the so-called "white left", most of them advocate universal values, assert their rights, tolerate abnormal behavior, and resist the connotations of conservative, traditional, and authoritative values.

Under the North American electoral system, politicians actually need to gain popularity.

To put it simply, it is the topics that have been popular and received a lot of attention recently, and he is more willing to speak out on these topics.

In this way, he can also attract more attention from voters.

This time, he succeeded-

“…… The most terrifying thing about this benevolent brother is that he treats his own kind as an inferior object, and breaks the rules of human society with a violent act, but he doesn't care. ”

"All his actions are self-conscious, and he pursues the satisfaction of his own perception. What is it? It's a symbol of freedom! After all, the rules are also set by people, and being able to break them just proves his ability. ”

"Live according to your own wishes and follow your heart, this is how many people can't get it, but the free life they want in their hearts......"

Zhou Wen didn't understand, but he was shocked!

He felt that his IQ was not enough!

Can such a thing as "cannibalism" be related to "free life"?

However, a large group of admirers of Hannibal applauded him loudly.

Yes, worshippers!

- Probably no country worships this ogre more than Lao Mei!

Every day, people call, write letters, or directly express their admiration for Hannibal in the public media - "I will try to stand for him", "He doesn't look like the kind of person who kills", "I feel like I'm in love with him......

Well, there are women, there are men, and there are ...... Gender unknown.

On the English-language Internet, the so-called "Hannibal Cult" has appeared, and the propaganda is still very loud - Hannibal's titles, including but not limited to master artist, master psychologist, master surgeon, explorer, gourmet, etc., sound easy to worship.

There are even female die-hard fans who say that if they are outstanding, polite, talented, sensual, and reasonable...... Hannibal was a real person, and they were willing to marry him, and even willingly became his "belly".

Zhou Wen's IQ collapsed again!

He thought: He can understand the admiration for great power; But isn't there a real-life version of ogre? Why don't you see you crazy obsession? Is it because he is not handsome enough?

However, Zhou Wen, who has a lot of experience in the industry, quickly figured it out - appearance is only one of the reasons.

Of course, it is one of the important reasons.

But more importantly, it is precisely because this is a virtual character that many people will boldly worship it.

That's right, it's "Ye Gong is a good dragon".

You see, in the face of the real-life version of ogres, most people are still; Those who will worship are also anti-social people.

- This is the reality of the world!

But there are so many merchants in North America, as long as they have fans, they have commercial value.

So, a few days after "The Silence of the Lambs" became a full hit, a large number of image authorization requests for "Hannibal" flew to Universal Pictures or Zhou Wen's office.

Publishers, as well as their Hollywood counterparts, want to dig into the deeper story of this image; Clothing, electronics, and other businesses want to develop products related to this image; There was even a restaurant that wanted "Hannibal" as their face for the image......

The last one, I almost didn't make Zhou Wen stupid!

- Good guys! Do you want your guests to go to dinner, or do you want your guests to be dinner?

Zhou Wen, whose three views have been refreshed repeatedly, feels from the bottom of his heart that the cultural differences between the East and the West are really too great!

- In China, "The Silence of the Lambs" is also a big hit, are there any admirers of "Hannibal"? Absolutely! But the media will not help this sense of worship spread, and even mention "reflection" at every turn.

What about the North American media?

The public is fascinated by all things "Hannibal" and the media are happy to satisfy the public's hunger.

Of course, there is a left and a right in this world.

But the rightists in North America are not reflecting on "ogres should not be some kind of popular culture", but offering traditional performing arts, commonly known as "It's all the Chinese people!" ”
