All this has been expected by the crew of "Operation Mekong", and it is also expected by the top bigwigs in the Chinese film circle.

He Fang thought that he could accept it calmly, but this gap was too big, so he still felt a little uncomfortable.

So, he had to release his unhappiness in sports, such as impact sports, the kind of movement that tried his best to break bones.

In order to make the impact movement more powerful, He Fang tried all the more ruthless movements that could be impacted, but unfortunately his physical strength was too good, no matter how many movements he used, no matter how hard he used, it was not until forty minutes later that he really let himself release a wave of emotions.

Who can be blamed for this? Whoever told China's overseas distribution to be pinched in the hands of the Americans, people said that you will give as many films as you want, and no matter how much money you give, it is useless.

Expanding the ability of international publicity, He Fang feels very anxious at the moment, but he is so helpless, it is useless to be anxious.

Which country in the world dares not to sell the face of the United States and give Chinese films a high-ranking film alone? There may be only one Russia and India left, Russia has no choice, the United States regards him as a mortal enemy, India ???

Ahem, India, that's the film market that no one can splash into.

Pan Zhilin didn't know why she was in a bad mood, but she was really fierce, and she was very enjoyable.

Therefore, when He Fang was smoking, she hugged He Fang's waist, and then kept drawing circles on the head of the mushroom with her fingers, and she wanted to circle this in a cursed way, only she could undo it......

"What are you drawing?" He Fang couldn't bear it anymore, and then complained.

"And what did you draw on the snake fruit?" Pan Zhilin complained.

"......" He Fang looked at the hand that was not smoking, and it was indeed painting, and he couldn't help it, he couldn't help it.

"You're in a bad mood?" Pan Zhilin asked.

"No, I'm thinking about it."

"Can you still think about things while you're doing sports?" Pan Zhilin asked in surprise, she suddenly felt that he was so powerful.

"Huh? Isn't it possible? ”

"Oh, no, no." Pan Zhilin was really surprised, she shook her head, and in order to alleviate her surprise, she calmed down with something.

……

When they woke up the next morning, they took a look at yesterday's global box office for the first time, and sure enough......

The first-day box office in North America only got 5.14 million, which is a new low for the movie, only higher than the first-day box office of his "Invasion of Wall Street", and "Invasion of Wall Street" is a movie? A low-budget movie, and it was made when he was not famous.

And where is the coffee position now? The world's top box office director, the first day box office in North America was only 5.14 million, how bad is this.

The rating on IMDb is only 6.8 points, which can be said to be the lowest rated movie in Hefang.

The popcorn index on Rotten Tomatoes is only 57%, and the tomato freshness index is 65%.

Both mainstream movie rating sites have low ratings and have very bad reviews.

Chicago Sun: "It's hard to imagine where this is the film, and any film that takes it as fact will be disappointed." The movie is completely different from what I know the facts. Of course, the weapons on display and the fights are the only two highlights, and the rest is a mess. ”

The Hollywood Reporter: "It's a dramatic realist film, based on real events, but it's not realistic at all, it's dramatic and exaggerated. The so-called advanced weapons and equipment are not new for a long time, and they are all leftovers from the United States. He Fang is really disappointing this time......"

Filmmakers Magazine: "Premature pride has made this film lose the reality that it should belong, the camera and action are indeed beautiful, the content is magical, and the so-called technological weapons are just outdated products at the weapons exhibition." ”

"Deep Focus": "Judging from the film, it can only be said that it is decent, the story is clear, the action is in place, and the special effects are not dizzy. Of course, as a film that inspires national pride and patriotism in China, Chinese audiences may prefer it. But, as a non-Chinese audience, I just saw a self-absorbed self-hypnosis ......"

Tilt Magazine: "I don't have to say anything about the filmmaking of Hefang, it's excellent. The picture is beautiful, the Golden Triangle is unexpectedly exotic, and the movie is rich in imagination, if it is not said to be based on real events, I think there is nothing wrong with this movie. ”

"Independent Critics": "It's a pity that the characters are a little thin, and He Fang used a group of tools to tell a seemingly real event, but it is full of loopholes. Maybe he spent too much energy on X-Men: Days of Future Past, causing his new film to look awkward. ”

New Daily: "I can't believe what kind of movie this is, I'd rather he make a movie in ten years like Cameron, it's ruining his talent......"

……

The two websites seem to be in a one-sided position to criticize who is going to go, so this is a bellwether for critics around the world: criticizing "Operation Mekong" is politically correct.

Others, however, are complaining, "Why can't I buy tickets at the cinemas around me?" Where's the movie is so bad that I can watch it and evaluate it, right? ”

"I watched it, it's very good-looking, I can give 9.5 out of ten, why does everyone think it's not good-looking?"

"Isn't it the same movie I'm watching as everyone else? The action is cool, the rhythm is tight, the picture is beautiful, the scene is big, it's very beautiful. China's office buildings are so advanced, and the equipment in a police department is so advanced. ”

"Why is there only a morning session? Why is it so far from where I live? Where is the last movie, you can't wait to put it in front of my eyes for me to watch, where is this movie, you can't wait to never let me see it, why? ”

"A thrilling action movie, or a Chinese paramilitary movie, although there are some overly violent and bloody scenes, will definitely be a cool movie. Why are so many people attacking it? Personally, I think it's really good. ”

……

The media, film critics, etc. are all criticizing, while ordinary fans are praising good looks. So it's a very divisive outcome of two extremes.

And He Fang was asked by reporters during the publicity campaign the next day: "Director He Fang, everyone is saying that "Operation Mekong" is the Waterloo of your film, what do you think about this?" ”

"Fortunately, in fact, I expected such a market reaction, because the things expressed in the movie made some people uncomfortable, so they desperately slandered them, and there were no films scheduled in many places.

And to see those real movie fans, they love it, but they want to move their friends to see it but can't find a theater to show it. We expected that, and now some people say that the movie Waterloo, and I don't think it's strange. ”

He Fang is calm and clear.

"Do you have any countermeasures?" The journalist asked.

"No, we can't deal with it, we can't control this kind of thing, we can only passively accept the Waterloo of the film at the international box office." He is making a 'miserable punch'.

Although he can't change the ending of the movie's box office failure, he can't accept being slandered as the quality of the movie, so he must explain to the public that it is not because the quality of his film is not good, but that he is being suppressed.

"Director He, but many professional film critics have analyzed all aspects of the film's problems, do you admit that these problems exist?" Some reporters are unwilling, this is a problem that must bow down and admit mistakes according to where his head is, not a problem of others suppressing him.

"This journalist friend, it's like if you write an article, no matter how you write it, I can find a bunch of experts to pick out hundreds of faults from your article. So at this time, it doesn't make sense to say this, it's not that I'm avoiding the problem, it's that someone has bad intentions to borrow some questions.

If you want to say that the quality of the movie is really poor or good, do you dare to spot check 1,000 or 10,000 screenings in the global public live broadcast, and then let the audience score it on the spot? Look at the hearts of fans, is this a bad movie or a good movie? ”

Since reporters want to block where to block with quality problems, let them be in a dilemma. So why don't you block reporters? Do journalists dare to bet? Don't dare, because everyone knows what the quality of this movie is, and everyone knows why the media says that.

That is, to be a thief, it is impossible to disclose the truth.

They just want to cover up the truth, and then create another 'truth' that 'Operation Mekong is a bad movie' so that the movie and who are really hurt, and they also want to use words to force whoever side to admit this 'truth', which proves that their 'truth' is not wrong.

Their words are to use the world's famous film critics or experts to pick out all kinds of accusations that "Operation Mekong" is a bad movie, these accusations, first, come from authoritative experts, second, they are indeed justified, and third, many accusations are unclear, even if they try to defend themselves, they are not clear.

For example, experts agree that the film exaggerates the truth of events. If anyone wants to debate with them, then they will get caught up in a political debate.

As long as Western experts remain undefeated in political debates, Operation Mekong is an exaggerated, dramatic, propaganda film made 'not based on facts', proving that the purpose of the party is not pure......

As long as the root of this movie is wrong, then it doesn't matter whether the 'bad movie problem' is established or not, and the audience will 'recognize' the purpose of 'bad intentions'.

He Fang understood the routines of these people as soon as he heard them, so he avoided these 'quality issues' that forced him to admit, because this was a bottomless pit and could not be debated.

Why did he recognize their routine so quickly? But anyone who has experienced those three years, and who knows a little about the routines of the Western media, understands the disgusting nature of these people.

So when He Fang counterattacked back, these reporters were a little confused, and they couldn't do it, because no one could successfully solve their problems under their 'forced confession'.

"Director He, are you weak-hearted? Do you dare not admit the problems pointed out by global film experts? "How can a journalist be willing? So I immediately asked.

"Do you dare to admit that there is a problem with the article you wrote? Do you dare to let experts from all over the world find fault? Does that prove that you don't qualify to be a journalist at all? Whether my films are good or not, whether I am at this level or not, I have proven it with a Palme d'Or, two Venice Best Director, two Golden Globe Awards, two Oscars, and I have won $7.5 billion at the global box office.

For a director like me who wants to have a box office and an award, who do I need to prove to me that my film is okay? You can take a few so-called experts to deny me so many awards at the box office?

As I said earlier, if you really want to prove that something is wrong with my movie, do you dare to investigate the real viewing experience of 10,000 audiences? He Fang retorted.

In the face of He Fang's counterattack, this reporter's head was buzzing, and he really underestimated He Fang's debating ability.

No, in the past, they only needed to come up with some expert evaluations and some clever words to win down some people, why can't they go here?

Although he can refute the 'malicious questions' of some reporters, he still can't defeat the encirclement of some people in front of public opinion, because it is not China that controls the media.

As long as they don't write down what they say, then the people will see the rebuttal from somewhere.

"In the face of the evaluation of global experts, who cares about the quality of his new film"

"Who refuses to admit that [Operation Mekong] is a big bad movie"

"No matter how much you quibble, it can't change the fact that his new film is a big bad movie"

"The former Chinese supernova is finally starting to go downhill"

"He Fang was praised too high by his past achievements and lost his way"

"Where to look at how celebrities recognize themselves from past achievements"

……

On the second day, the entertainment sections of all the Western media launched reflections and reports on who was 'lost', and they no longer cared who could refute it, whether it would refute it, and whether the refutation was justified.

Because the truth is not important, what matters is that they have a channel to spread it, and where they don't.

Of course, He Fang did not sit still, he spoke on his Twitter, Toutiao and other personal platforms, posted the full interview video of the reporter, and also posted the text version.

He Fang's fans who learned the truth were angry and questioned the media who criticized He Fang.

But this is useless at all, this is why the competition between tens of millions of international fans and media that can cover billions of dollars cannot set off a storm.

"Director He, the enemy's strength is much stronger than we thought." Wu Jing gritted his teeth and said unconvinced.

"These guys are fucking up." Zhang Hanyu was also very angry.

"......" Pan Zhilin wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.

He Fang smiled bitterly, "I have long expected this kind of result, it's nothing." In fact, this is also a negative teaching material for those who are complacent after some achievements in our country, don't let them think that they have succeeded, in fact, their success is only the part of others that make them successful. ”

He Fang took a deep breath of cigarette: "Any success that does not have the absolute right to speak is a false success, there are some things you tell them that they won't believe if you die, only by coming like this, they will really recognize the existence of the problem."

It's good that at least let them know where to go in the future, instead of dwelling on the 'illusory success' of the present. ”

Of course, at this time, some people in Hollywood are getting proud, and their appropriate killer weapon to show to He Fang and the Chinese is to let He Fang and the Chinese recognize the reality.
