Chapter 202: Strong Domestic Reaction, One Condition
Zhang Xiao asked curiously: "Why?"
Chen Li smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know after you open Weibo and take a look."
Hear the words.
Zhang Xiao took out his mobile phone, opened Weibo and took a look, and found that countless posts had sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
It turned out that it was Chen Li who posted the video of the conflict between Zhang Xiao and Ryan online, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among Chinese movie fans, who all expressed their support for Zhang Xiao on Weibo.
"Damn it, Xiao Shen is so powerful and domineering!"
"When dealing with people like Ryan, he should be beaten hard."
"Support Xiao Shen and resolutely boycott Warner Bros.!"
"If you dare to scold us Chinese, go to hell with your grandma."
"That trash even dares to challenge Xiao Shen. I really don't know how to write the word "death"!"
"Strongly request the Department of Culture to ban the import of any Warner films."
"Warner's representatives are still aiding the evildoers. This is simply unreasonable. We must resist them."
"Warner comes out and gives an explanation."
"You dare to help Xiao Shen fight against Warner. Director Chris has done a good job, but if you want me to go into the cinema and pay for your movie, please give up the cooperation with Warner immediately."
"Strongly call on the Department of Culture to ban the import of any Warner films."
“···”
It can be said that because of this incident, "The Dark Knight" has already become a hit in China even before filming has started.
It's a pity that no entertainment company will be happy with this kind of popularity.
Zhang Xiao thought for a while and posted a blog post on his Weibo.
"I came to Hollywood with excitement to audition for the new drama "Batman 2: The Dark Knight" directed by Chris, but I met a trash who looked down on us Chinese people. It was really depressing. Fortunately, the audition process went very smoothly.
"
"Thank you to Director Chris and Mr. Johnson for looking at me differently. You are real filmmakers. Regardless of whether I can get this role or not, I am very grateful and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate."
Chen Li, who was standing next to him, smiled after seeing this Weibo posted by Zhang Xiao.
Said: "You are pushing Warner to death. If you can't get this role, I'm afraid "Batman 2: The Dark Knight" will be wildly boycotted by Chinese fans, and it won't even be able to enter Chinese movie theaters.
Gone."
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Director Chris has already decided on me. I am just doing this to relieve him of some pressure."
A slight smile appeared on Chen Li's face and she said nothing more.
When Chen Li and Zhang Xiao returned to the hotel, Zhang Xiao's Weibo caused another wave of craze on the domestic Internet.
"Director Chris is optimistic about Xiao Shen. Is this how Xiao Shen plans to enter Hollywood?"
"Don't be stupid upstairs, Xiao Shen has offended Warner, will Warner still give this role to Xiao Shen?"
"Chris is an international director. I believe that Warner Bros. will not offend him because of a role."
"Support Chris, support Xiao Shen, if Warner dares to stop it, it will pay a heavy price."
"One is my favorite international director, and the other is my favorite Chinese actor. I look forward to their cooperation."
"If Director Chris can collaborate with Xiao Shen this time, I will definitely go to the cinema to watch it, otherwise I will never buy a ticket."
"Chris, don't be cowardly, we Chinese movie fans support you."
“···”
Just as domestic movie fans were having heated discussions, Warner Films Headquarters.
Chris, Carl, and Stephen were sitting in the office of Warner CEO Charles, discussing the role of the Joker.
Karl was the first to speak: "I think Ledger is the most suitable. First of all, he is an Oscar-winning actor, and his fame is not comparable to that of Zhang. Secondly, his acting skills are not worse than Zhang. We don't need to let a Chinese star in such an important role."
"
When director Chris heard this, he immediately retorted: "I don't think so. Ledger's performance is indeed very good. I admit this, but there is still a big gap between him and Zhang."
"If we rate the two people on a 100-point scale, Ledger can get 90 points, but Zhang can get a perfect score of 100 points, no, even more than the full score."
Stephen frowned, feeling that Chris was exaggerating a bit, and couldn't help but said: "Director Chris, what you said is a bit too exaggerated!"
However, Director Chris shook his head and said: "No, I am not exaggerating, I am just telling the truth. For the role of the clown, there is no one in the world who is more suitable than Zhang."
Having said this, Chris glanced at Karl mercilessly and said, "Otherwise, Mr. Karl wouldn't be scared to death."
Karl's face turned red and he defended himself: "I...that's not..."
But when the words came to my mouth, I didn't know how to defend myself. Anyway, it was quite embarrassing.
Stephen took over the topic and continued: "Director Chris, Zhang Xiao beat our Warner actor. If we still agree to him playing the role of the clown, will we still lose the face of Warner?"
"That's Ryan who should be beaten. In front of Zhang, he dared to say that he and the Chinese are trash. Such highly discriminatory words would make anyone want to beat him up." Chris retorted confidently.
.
At this time, CEO Hua, who had been silent, Charles asked: "Director Chris, do you think the role of the clown must be Zhang Xiao?"
"That's right!" Director Chris replied without any hesitation: "Zhang Xiao agrees with all my imagination of the role of the clown, and it is even better than I imagined."
"Charles, you said that I am solely responsible for the movie "The Dark Knight". I wonder if your promise still counts?"
"Of course!" Charles smiled.
Chris nodded and said: "Okay, for the role of clown, I choose Zhang Xiao."
Charles thought for a while and said: "I can agree, but Zhang Xiao also has to agree to a condition for us Warner."
"What conditions?" Chris asked.
Charles said unhurriedly: "Convene a press conference and publicly apologize to Ryan. After all, he was the one who severely injured Ryan."
Hearing what Charles said, Director Chris frowned and asked, "Just because Ryan is your nephew?"
Charles shook his head and said: "No, because he is an actor from our Warner Bros."
Chris thought for a while and said, "I'll call Zhang first. I can't make this decision for him."
"Well, yes!" Charles always looked like a man in a superior position, and no matter what he said, there was no emotion at all.
So Chris dialed Chen Li's cell phone in front of everyone.
At this time, Zhang Xiao and Chen Li had just returned to the hotel.
Chapter completed!
