Chapter 810: Add fuel to the hot situation(1/2)
"Xiao Shen is awesome!"
"For "Zhu Xian 1", the fans of Lighthouse Country are really persistent."
"Whose movie can have such an influence, the answer is undoubtedly Xiao Shen."
"I feel like I was born in China. I'm really lucky to be able to watch "Zhu Xian 1"!"
"It's really speechless that twenty-three states don't agree with the re-screening of an old movie."
“It’s time for film production in Lighthouse Country to change.”
"Seeing that things have reached this point, I didn't want to watch "Zhu Xian 1" at first, so I silently bought a ticket."
"It's the last time in my life to go to the cinema to watch "Zhu Xian 1". It's quite rare."
"The ticket price of twenty-five yuan is very conscientious. I will take my girlfriend to see it again."
“···”
This demonstration by movie fans in the Lighthouse Country made movie fans around the world suddenly realize that it is rare for "Zhu Xian 1" to be re-released. As a result, the pre-sale box office of this movie directly experienced a spurt of growth. In just one day, it was almost
Pre-sale box office sales exceeded US$700 million.
The heads of the film and television departments of the 23 states in the Lighthouse Country held a meeting. They agreed that this precedent should not be set, otherwise other films will follow suit, which will be a heavy blow to the new film.
So he didn't agree to the fans' request.
"boom!"
The news reached the ears of movie fans, and they immediately aroused strong opposition.
Not only did they not retreat, they also surrounded the buildings of various state film and television departments in protest.
"Mr. Zhang, we hope you can come forward to persuade these fans." On this day, Chris, the head of the review department of Lighthouse Country, called Zhang Xiao.
Zhang Xiao said: "Mr. Chris, do you want me to persuade those movie fans not to watch my movie?"
"Of course not!" Chris said: "As long as you post a message on Twitter and say that you understand the practices of those state film and television departments, it will be fine."
Zhang Xiaodan lost: "But the problem is that I don't understand it very well. It's just a movie, why can't it be shown?"
Chris said: "Mr. Zhang, whether it can be shown or not is a decision made by the film and television departments of each major state. Even our Lighthouse State government cannot interfere."
Zhang Xiao said: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you with this."
Chris said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhang, don't forget, "Zhu Xian 2" has not been released yet."
Zhang Xiao suddenly laughed when he heard this and said, "Are you threatening me?"
Chris said: "This is not a threat, but a statement of facts."
"Mr. Chris, you have to understand something." Zhang Xiao said: "Making movies is just my hobby. Whether "Zhu Xian 2" can be released in the Lighthouse Country will not have much impact on me."
"I just arrived at the conversation. I have already recorded it. I will release the content of the conversation to you later. Let the fans decide whether it is a threat or a statement of facts."
"Good luck."
After saying that, Zhang Xiao hung up the phone and blocked Chris's phone number.
"What the hell, you actually dare to threaten me." Zhang Xiao cursed carelessly.
Yang Mi asked: "Husband, what's going on? Why are you so angry!"
Zhang Xiao briefly explained the content of the chat with Chris, and Yang Mi exclaimed: "Then do you really want to post the recording to Twitter?"
"What a fart!" Zhang Xiao laughed and said, "I didn't record it at all."
Yang Mi suddenly realized: "You're trying to scare him about your feelings!"
Zhang Xiao said: "This Chris officer is not big, and his tone is not small. I mainly want to show him some color. Just wait and see, someone from Disney will call me to intercede soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiao's cell phone rang, and the caller ID was Herman.
Zhang Xiao said proudly: "How about it? My guess is accurate, right?"
Yang Mi said angrily: "Yes, yes, my husband is the most powerful."
Zhang Xiao pressed the answer button and asked: "Herman, do you have anything to do with me?"
Herman said: "Mr. Zhang, did Chris call you just now, and did you have some unpleasantness between you?"
Zhang Xiao said angrily: "This Chris pissed me off. Do you know, he actually asked me to persuade those movie fans not to watch "Zhu Xian 1". I didn't agree. He also raised the issue of the screening of "Zhu Xian 2" in the Lighthouse Country.
Threatening me, haha, this is the first time I have seen such a person."
Herman said: "Mr. Zhang, Chris is the nephew of the general manager and has very great power in the film and television department. If possible, it is best not to conflict with him."
Zhang Xiao said: "So what if he is the commander-in-chief? Am I afraid of him? What kind of international joke are you kidding? If he really causes trouble for me, I don't mind letting him disappear from the world."
"No, please don't." Herman said quickly: "Mr. Zhang, we at Disney still need Chris' help with many things, so I beg you not to post the recording online."
Zhang Xiao was silent for a while and said: "Okay, Herman, tell Chris to be more honest with me."
Herman said: "Okay, I will definitely bring the message to you."
Zhang Xiao was 100% sure that Herman would not say such things to Chris, but he had to show an attitude to let Herman and Chris know that he was not someone to be trifled with.
Otherwise, it will be even more troublesome in the future.
Originally, Zhang Xiao did not want to deal with the issue of "Zhu Xian 1" being unable to be released in 23 states, but judging from the current situation, ignoring it does not seem to be a good solution.
Now that the trouble has reached this point, let’s add fuel to the situation!
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiao directly contacted the system.
"System, "Zhu Xian 1" cannot be released. Are there any human factors in it?"
[Yes, among the 23 states, the film review directors in 12 states have interest-transfer relationships with the other four Hollywood giants.]
"Give me relevant evidence from one of the states, preferably from Columbia Pictures."
Columbia Pictures has been looking for trouble for Zhang Xiao. If there is a chance, Zhang Xiao would not mind giving it some hard drugs.
[Please host pay 50 million reputation points']
"no problem."
After paying 50 million reputation points, Zhang Xiao's mobile phone showed a transaction video between Conrad, the vice president of Columbia Pictures, and Cecil, the head of Mississippi film review.
In order for Cecil to organize the release of "Zhu Xian 1" in Mississippi, Conrad gave the latter a box containing two million US dollars in cash.
Zhang Xiaoliyong's own super hacking skills hacked an entertainment media in a lighthouse country and sent this video directly to the editor's mailbox.
Half an hour later, the video of Conrad bribing Cecil quickly spread throughout the Lighthouse Country and was directly on the hot search list of major websites.
This time, the fans of Lighthouse Country were completely shocked.
"Damn, this video is so exciting!"
"Is this still a lighthouse country?"
"No wonder all states are unwilling to screen "Zhu Xian 1". It turns out that the person in charge is taking advantage!"
"Conrad, the vice president of Columbia Pictures, and Cecil, the head of film review in Mississippi, are doing a great job."
"I can't see the movie because of bribery. It's so hateful."
"I feel angry and a little sad at the same time about power-for-money transactions."
"Mississippi doesn't show movies because the person in charge charges money. What about other states? Do they also charge money?"
"Both the bastards, Conrad and Cecil deserve to be hanged."
"I want to watch "Zhu Xian 1"."
“···”
This video spread wildly on the Internet in the lighthouse country. Not only movie fans in Mississippi, but movie fans in other states were also very angry.
Why can't I watch "Zhu Xian 1"?
It's because corruption happened, and someone took money and didn't want everyone to see this movie.
God. This is absolutely disgusting.
More movie fans surrounded all the film review departments in their states and strongly demanded that officials from relevant units give a reasonable explanation and explanation.
At the same time, Disney took the matter directly to the Lighthouse Film Association, the Lighthouse Film Guild and the Lighthouse government, and also directly sued Columbia Pictures to court.
Although we know that even if we win this lawsuit, Disney will only be able to get a few million dollars in compensation at most, but it will be a huge blow to the prestige of Columbia Pictures.
Disney will never show mercy to its enemies. As the saying goes, it will kill you while you are sick. Disney has done a good job in this regard.
But this is not over yet? The Chinese Department of Culture expressed strong dissatisfaction on Twitter with the lighthouse state of Mississippi's malicious attempt to prevent the re-release of the Chinese film "Zhu Xian 1".
Zhang Xiao also posted a post on his Twitter, the content of which was directed at Columbia Pictures.
"Columbia Pictures, my old friend, why is it you again? When "Zhu Xian 1" was released, you did shameless things."
"Now this movie is about to be re-released, and you have once again done something shameless. Your despicableness has left the entire Hollywood and even the global film industry in the dust."
"My old friend, the second part of Zhu Xian will be released soon. I look forward to your third shot."
"I don't know why, but when I saw that Columbia Pictures was behind the scenes, I didn't feel the slightest bit angry. This feeling is very strange."
