You Made Me a Superstar - Chapter 407

   “Friends of Yangcun, it is undeniable that the pictures of “Superman 2” are very amazing, but please give “Infernal Affairs” a little help? “Infernal Affairs” needs your help!”

   “”Infernal Affairs” was unfairly treated! Not only was it sniped by “Superman 2″, it was also suppressed by major theater chains and peers!”

   “This is the evidence we have collected in major cities these days, there are videos and recordings…”

“”Infernal Affairs” is in the darkest moment now! We can accept that “Infernal Affairs” does not top the Chinese movie box office chart, and we can accept its failure, but we can’t accept that it was bullied and finally painted in advance. It’s a shame!”

  “…”

   Early morning on February 22.

  The Chinese film industry is still shaking.

  More and more evidence points to the fact that “Nightwalker” is stealing the box office of “Infernal Affairs” in various ways, seemingly “reasonably”.

  The stolen box office was very vague at first, about 3 million to 5 million per day, but as more and more data became clear, the stolen box office numbers became more and more detailed.

  August 13: 1.2 million at the box office!

  August 14: 1.7 million at the box office!

  August 15: The day “Superman 2” was released, the box office was 2.1 million!

  August 16: 2.3 million at the box office!

  …

  August 20: Six million at the box office!

   When the amazing data was presented to all netizens, the netizens were shocked beyond measure.

   But then, a lot of people started to feel like they had an epiphany!

   “The popularity of “Infernal Affairs” on the Internet is itself the popularity of an explosive classic movie. How could the box office be so washed up by “Superman 2″ that it was completely washed away? This is completely unreasonable!”

   “No wonder the box office is so bad. It turns out that the box office was stolen. God, didn’t the underpants of the movie “Night Walker” be taken out? The daily box office of “Night Walker”, which does not steal the box office, only has a few million?”

“After so many days of release, it is reasonable to have a daily box office of several million…”Nightcrawler” itself is not as popular on the Internet as “Infernal Affairs”, but it suddenly turned against the wind in the later stage, and the box office skyrocketed every day. This is to treat all fans as What a fool!”

“It’s so dark. People like Zhou Yang are stealing the box office! Aren’t the other little directors even worse? No wonder there are only a few directors going back and forth in the Huaxia film industry, and they were all “killed”! “

   “That’s for sure…”

   Three in the morning.

   On major movie networks, Weibo, and major portals, the discussion on this vicious box office stealing incident has not decreased, but has become more and more lively.

  Click on the homepages of major websites, the title of the homepage must be [“Infernal Affairs” steals the box office! ] and other news reports.

Although some media tried to use some other headlines to cool down the incident, it failed in the end. Zhou Yang fans from all over the world didn’t want to let this matter cool down at all. Instead, more people rushed in, adding to the heat. higher.

  【Many theaters denied their dark-box operations, claiming that they were instructed by temporary workers! 】

   [The culprit of the incident is directed at Zhao Sicheng, the former director of the China Directors Association! 】

  [Zhao Sicheng’s attitude is extremely arrogant, and when faced with inquiries, Zeng threatened: “You have the guts to come and arrest me, extradite me? Did I break the law? I have a US green card, what do you have?”]

  【…】

   Four fifteen in the morning.

   When Zhao Sicheng’s arrogant voice was exposed on the Internet, netizens were in disbelief at first, and then the group enthusiastically scolded Zhao Sicheng on the Internet.

   “Fuck you! Traitor!”

“Depend on!”

   “What a **** beast, traitor!”

   “The account book is gone!”

   All kinds of unpleasant sounds flooded under the headlines of major Weibo, which once paralyzed Weibo.

When the Weibo official saw that this matter was going to get out of control, they immediately banned countless accounts, but the staff found that no matter how they banned it, the scolding became more and more, so they could only give up and let it go. This thing is fermenting!

   “I’m afraid this incident will escalate into an industry event or a social event!”

The official    Weibo official muttered to himself after seeing the incident.

  When the anger of the fans is ignited, it is difficult to extinguish it for a while.

Fans who have nowhere to vent have tried their best to find a vent related to Zhao Sicheng, but they found that Zhao Sicheng’s Weibo IP address itself is located in the United States, and Zhao Sicheng’s family members, including some relatives, seem to have premeditated. I went through the withdrawal procedures a year ago and moved to the United States long ago.

  The fans who have nowhere to vent can only rush into the official Weibo of the China Film Association and curse.

   The staff of the China Film Association could only send a Weibo to clarify, but they were still scolded by a group of angry fans.

   5:30 in the morning!

   The scolding finally subsided a little, and everyone’s attention was attracted by another hot article.

   “”Superman 2” came to China, itself is for “Infernal Affairs”.”

   “Whether it is from the film layout, from the promotion of this movie when it was released, from the box office and popularity, “Infernal Affairs” is being targeted everywhere.”

   “On the surface, this is a box office battle, but at a deeper level, this is a premeditated culture war!”

“I wonder if you have noticed that there are already many things around us, and they have all begun to be Westernized? Do you have a subtle feeling that some European, American and Western things are good things, while our own things are bad things? “

“On the one hand, we are really unsatisfactory, and we will be beaten when we fall behind. On the other hand, have we not thought that there are a pair of invisible hands that are grasping our habits and hobbies, diverting our attention, and then we look at What they get is what they want us to see, and what we hear is what they want us to hear?”

  “…”

  An article titled [A Brief Talk About Cultural Invasion from “Infernal Affairs”, China now and China more than a hundred years ago…] was posted on the homepage of Huaxia Weibo.

  The author of the article is Zheng Changhong, a master student in the history department of Yenching University.

   This article grabbed everyone’s attention as soon as it was published, and made the angry fans suddenly realize, and then became even more furious.

The article uses the dispute between “Infernal Affairs” and “Superman 2” to point out the differences and commonalities between Huaxia more than a hundred years ago and China now, and borrows the layout of “Superman 2” and Zhao Sicheng’s arrogant attitude. The veil of the “cultural war”, and from a very objective point of view, to explain the plundering of Chinese culture by Western culture and the import of ideology…

  In the past, such articles were not paid attention to at all, and were even regarded as alarmist.

   However, when the “Infernal Affairs” incident appeared, this article awakened countless Chinese movie fans, feeling both sadness and shock.

   Immediately afterwards, emotions were ignited like flames, just when there was nowhere to vent…

   “The older generation of directors is suppressing the younger generation of directors!”

   “Director Zhou and I have been treated like this before!”

   “Some directors of the older generation, covering the sky with only one hand, must follow the path they set, otherwise, they must suppress you.”

   “Do you still remember those directors who were banned? They used to be brilliant, but now, how many of them have fallen?”

   “Rotten, rotten to the core, rotten to the core!”

  Feng Kai posted an article on his personal Weibo at seven o’clock in the morning titled “Does Huaxia Movies Have a Future?” 】The accusation!

   The accusation is full of questioning, almost tearing the skin, targeting the Huaxia Directors Association, and even very aggressively posting the real names of some directors on Weibo.

   The article was shocking, and it made the fans’ eyes widen. The fans who had already stopped became angry again and rushed into the Weibo of the China Film Association again.

   In just a few minutes, the Weibo of the Huaxia Film Association was paralyzed and finally had to be temporarily closed.

   “Friends come and have good wine

  If the jackal came

   It’s greeted with a shotgun…”

   August 22nd at 8:30 am.

   In the advertising time of the first screening of “Superman 2”, the singing of “My Motherland” by Grandma Zhang Xia appeared.

The singing is an advertisement that Baoli mobile phone spent nearly 20 million yuan on, but the advertisement does not have any pictures and videos about the mobile phone except for the words “Polari mobile phone” pasted on the upper left. Only grandma Zhang Xia sang “My Motherland”. “The last few lyrics of “The Rabbit That Year” and some classic pictures of the old beauty.

   After hearing “My Motherland”, fans sitting in the screening hall felt stunned for a while…

   Then, some fans stood up consciously.

  Although it is no longer possible to refund tickets at this time, when “Superman 2”, which was once full of audiences, was officially released, it suddenly lost nearly a quarter of its fans.

   And the ticket windows and screening halls of “Infernal Affairs” were full, just like the grand opening of the premiere!

  …………………………

“cheer up……”

   “This incident is too big to be taken seriously, but we “Night Walkers” are victims, we are completely used as gunmen…”

   “Zhou Yang is too irrational, there is something that you can’t sit down and negotiate well. You must make such a big fuss, how can it end now?”

   “And Feng Kai, there was nothing at all, but now that he makes such a fuss, our Huaxia Directors Association has been brought to the forefront!”

   “What kind of cultural invasion, this is just the speculation of the “Infernal Affairs” hype…”

   “If you smash your job, no one will get any benefit…”

   August 22nd.

ten o’clock.

   China Film Association.

   The leaders of the relevant departments sat in the office and checked the information of the association over and over again.

  Cao Bangguo patted Django on the shoulder, sighed a long time, and looked at the security guards standing at the door, his eyes revealing a hint of gloom that could not be seen through.

  Django nodded.

   but remained silent throughout.

  When the people in the office called him, Django lowered his head and walked in in a trance.

   Soon after…

  Django walked out in a hurry.

   After Django came out, the leaders of the relevant departments said a few words to Cao Bangguo and others.

   Cao Bangguo had a very bright smile on his face when facing the leaders, and cooperated with various investigations seriously, and even felt aggrieved.

“Young people are all young and energetic.” “In fact, there is no contradiction, at most it is a disagreement of ideas.” “There are many things we didn’t do well, and I will publicly apologize. It was indeed a bit bureaucratic before, which is unacceptable.” Yes, yes, your criticism is right!” “I’m not familiar with Zhao Sicheng, I really don’t know well, since he was kicked out of the association, we have kept a distance from him.” etc.

   After the relevant leaders collected evidence and left, Cao Bangguo sighed again and patted Django on the shoulder again, “It’s alright, go back and have a good rest.”

  Django bit his lip, but his face was extremely pale.

   After seeing no one around, he twitched all over his body.

   “I… Uncle, I… actually contacted Zhao Sicheng, Zhao Sicheng… I know Zhao Sicheng…”

   His tears suddenly flowed down.

   Days of shame and despair haunted him, and he finally collapsed.

   However, halfway through speaking, Cao Bangguo stopped his voice.

   “Have you told them these words?” Cao Bangguo asked seriously looking at the direction the leaders were leaving.

“No, uncle, I… I’ve been listening to you, what I should say, what I shouldn’t say, I’ve been shut up… But my conscience… These days, I haven’t been able to sleep, I feel like a Like a traitor, doing things that shouldn’t be done, I hate it, I even hate Zhou Yang, but he… he is at least Chinese, I do it, I…” Django only felt that something was blocked in his throat, and divided It was uncomfortable outside, but he still said these words. At this moment, he looked like a helpless child.

   “You’re just being used.”

   “Go back and get a good night’s sleep. The future hope of Huaxia Films can be all on you. This little hurdle is nothing. No matter how bad “The Departed” is, I have a new script…”

   “This is the end of the matter, no one should mention it…”

   “Don’t worry, Zhao Sicheng won’t betray you, he may still…”

   Looking at Django’s appearance, Cao Bangguo shook his head, not feeling any surprise, not even the slightest change on his face.

   But, halfway through his words, he was silent and stopped talking.

“Uncle, you, you don’t know all, do you? You knew me before you…” Django looked guilty at first, but when he saw Cao Bangguo’s expression, he became stunned, and then he seemed to think Something’s eyes widened.

   Facing Django’s astonishment, Cao Bangguo didn’t say anything, just patted him on the shoulder again, shook his head and left the association.

  Django stood alone.

   Just felt that at this moment, his whole body was cold, as if everyone around him who was familiar with him became very strange at this moment, and he was trapped in the fog, unable to see any truth.
