Zhou Shaoming brought a glass of red wine to George. George picked up the red wine enthusiastically, frowned and asked, "Zhou, your injury hasn't healed yet?"
When Zhou Shaoming heard George's concern, he couldn't help but smile and said to George: "I'm happy today, so I can make an exception and drink less."
George drank the red wine gently and said to Zhou Shaoming: "I have already done a job in Japan at the same time, and the Japanese people are looking forward to watching this movie!"
Zhou Shaoming was stunned for a moment and said to George: "You were so thoughtful that you proposed and completed this plan to be released in Japan!"
George laughed and said to Zhou Shaoming: "Of course, I risked my life for the company."
When Zhou Shaoming heard what George said, he couldn't help laughing. He patted George on the shoulder and said, "Is it so serious? But what you do is seen by all the colleagues in the company."
Even before "The Cove" was released in Japan, it had already been rumored a lot. For Zhou Shaoming to bring this movie to Japan, it has attracted more attention than the previous movies Zhou Shaoming has made!
"Director Smith Zhou? Who is it?" Regarding a film about Japanese fishermen slaughtering dolphins, everyone seemed to be more concerned about how such a thing could happen in Japan, but they also felt a bit of resistance to the director of the film!
"Huh huh. I really want to enjoy this movie shot by this self-proclaimed Hollywood gold medal director. It won't be a movie that people can't watch. It's just a documentary. I really can't imagine why the media would exaggerate the facts so much.
, report all day long.”
"Yes, Director Smith Zhou returned to the United States in despair a while ago and couldn't stay in Japan anymore. As a result, "The Cove" only grossed over 10 million at the box office when it premiered in North America. Compared to "Monster History"
The box office performance of "Lake 2" is over 100 million. It is simply a drop in the ocean."
"How could such a film be released in Japan? It is simply an insult to our intelligence. We must boycott this film!"
As more netizens became angry online, the movie "The Cove" seemed to be unanimously boycotted and cursed by netizens!
However, for well-known local media in Japan, there are still more facts to evaluate this movie.
Even Japan's conservative media Yomiuri Shimbun commented: "After this valuable film "The Cove" came to Japan, rational people wanted to see for themselves the uproarious Smith Weekly candid filming incident a while ago, and
More angry young people are boycotting this movie. Faced with such a realistic environment, how far will "The Cove" go when it is released in Japan? No one knows!"
Under the deliberate protection of the government in the Taiji Town area, the brutal killing of dolphins by fishermen has been unable to be concealed. Regarding this situation, the Japanese media no longer deliberately suppresses this incident! They have turned a blind eye to this incident.
"Director Smith Zhou has arrived again, and it seems that the Japanese people are paying more attention to the film he brought than before. What will happen to the "Cove" film about the tornado this time? We stay tuned! Can a group of brave people succeed?

Riker 2 did it!

Although "The Cove" has been well received in terms of word-of-mouth since its release in North America, it is a valuable and courageous film that makes people feel confident after watching it, but it has suffered from the disappointment of a commercial blockbuster.
impact.
Zhou Shaoming had to face this kind of impact. However, in the following two days, the box office of "The Cove" began to recover somewhat in North America. This newly released documentary was able to withstand the commercial blockbuster "Shrek 2".

"Qiang, why are you here? Didn't you say you were determined not to watch this movie?" came a familiar voice!
Qiang said with a look of disdain: "I'm just following the crowd. If after I watch it, the movie made by that bullshit director is not good, I will definitely scold him to death on the Internet!"
In the theater auditorium, "The Cove" was released on time. When the Japanese people saw the last moment, their moods dropped! From the end to the end, the theater had never been so quiet.
No one made any sound, they just stared dumbly at the real bloody scenes. Some elders could not help but shed tears and shouted painfully to the camera on the screen: "You have committed evil!"
Qiang couldn't help but open his mouth, and the lollipop in his mouth fell to the ground. He couldn't help but said: "How could such a thing happen!" Qiang couldn't accept it for a moment and was stunned. He sat in his seat blankly until he entered the theater.
The crowd all left, all the friends around him left, Qiangdu never recovered!
There was a white-haired old man in the theater, hunched over and looking at the screen. Familiar scenes came into view. The whole body of the white-haired old man began to tremble. He never thought that he would be so brave at that time. What brought him
How could he have such great confidence and courage?
The white-haired old man couldn't help wiping away the tears on his face with his trembling hands. He had been waiting for this day for many years. After all, today, someone used this method to let more people know that dolphins were brutally killed in Dolphin Cove.
The truth! This person is someone I will never forget in my life, that is Hollywood's top director Smith Zhou!
The crowd in the theater walked out of the theater with a depressed mood. There was no expression on their faces, only sadness and heartache! However, when people walked up to the white-haired old man, they looked at this man who participated in the filming of "Dolphin Bay".
》The old man bowed deeply and expressed his respectful eyes!
He is Kerry. Kerry, who stayed in Japan, was deeply shocked by Zhou Shaoming's "The Cove" which was released in Japan. The compact plot interprets the thrilling adventures in a movie way!
Kerry couldn't help but take a deep breath in his heart. For him who risked his life all day long and kept holding such a short video to promote on the streets of Japan, Zhou Shaoming's way of using movies seemed more clever and preferable!
On the day "The Cove" was released in Japan, the theaters were packed with people. The sudden popularity of this movie was no less popular than "Shrek 2" in North America!
Media workers who have already watched this movie are more interested in reporting on the public’s attitude after watching this movie!
“It’s so unbelievable that something like this still happens in Japan!” When a young Japanese man was interviewed, he couldn’t help but said without hesitation: “I think these fishermen and these government officials need to reflect on themselves.
Look, how much damage this has caused to Japan’s reputation!”
A middle-aged man said calmly: "When I saw a movie like this, I was stunned. How could something like this happen in Japan? It's incredible!"
"Those people should stop slaughtering dolphins and stop humiliating us Japanese!" An elderly man couldn't help but angrily walked on the ground with a cane!
"This is a movie with profound value and significance, a movie worthy of our deep thought! For this movie to be popular in Japan, it is an irresistible trend. Faced with such a thing!? What should we do?"
Public Media News Network issued such a sigh! In response to the positive media reports, thoughtful people on the Internet began to target the movie "The Cove"!
Netizen Qiang wrote: "This is a mock documentary. There are always two different views on one thing, so why do all the people interviewed have the same attitude as these activists? You can see the documentary from here
Guidance. The world is open, things are open, and the conclusions are also open, and this documentary is a desperate guide. From here, I can see the nature of an activist. It is difficult for me to call this documentary a "documentary"
.”
Netizen Piao Yang also agreed: "A documentary that was filmed without anyone knowing it was made. The director forcibly imposed his will on the film. We should not let this kind of movie mislead our thinking!"
After the sudden popularity of "The Cove" in Japan, people who were dissatisfied with the movie began to vent their frustrations online.
However, there are also sensible viewers who have different opinions on such posts!
Netizen Passer wrote: "Whenever an excellent work appears, there will always be a clown like lz who comes out to sensationalize. Do you know what a documentary is? The soul of a documentary is objective documentary, and Smith Zhou has achieved this. The essence of a documentary
The usual method is montage, and Smith Zhou has achieved this to the extreme. The turning point of the documentary is the creation of suspense, and Smith Zhou has achieved this. The Oscar judges are not so ignorant that they don't even know what a documentary is."
Regarding the Japanese audience who have watched the movie "The Cove", Zhou Shaoming frowned and looked at the online comments. Looking at everyone's comments, Zhou Shaoming could imagine that when Japanese people see such a movie released in the Japanese film market.
It is a normal scene to vent your emotions.
However, judging from various news and posts from the media and viewers, "The Cove", which was just released in Japan, seems to have become a hot movie in the Japanese film market!
Compared to "The Cove" in North America, it's amazing how popular it is!
Zhou Shaoming couldn't help puffing on his cigar and looking at it for a moment. "The Cove" was so popular in Japan that no one would have thought! So what will be the box office performance on the first day of release in Japan?
Zhou Shaoming took a deep breath, and began to have some hope in his heart. He was curious, wondering how much box office success his movie could create?
When George came in, Zhou Shaoming saw George and said, "Qiao, I'm going to start shooting another movie "Assassin's League". As for the negotiations with Blizzard, it's up to you, and I'll concentrate on filming!"
After listening to Zhou Shaoming's words, George nodded and said, "Don't worry. You don't believe me yet."
George's confidence made Zhou Shaoming somewhat reassured. Before Zhou Shaoming could speak, George couldn't help but tell the box office results of the movie "The Cove" on the first day it was released in Japan!
"The box office results of 50 to 3 million in a week, this is a box office result that no one could have imagined!" George's voice was a little hoarse.
Zhou Shaoming was stunned and asked: "What is the box office result of 53 million?" George's words made Zhou Shaoming confused. At this time, Supernova Entertainment Film and Television only had one movie "Dolphin Cove" released, how could there be other movies?
When it is released, which box office result does this 53 million box office result represent for a movie?
George saw that Zhou Shaoming didn't seem to understand, and said to Zhou Shaoming: "The first box office results of "The Cove" released in Japan have just been calculated."
Zhou Shaoming was dumbfounded. He didn't react for a long time and asked George: "Do you have a fever? How can a small Japanese film market achieve such box office results all at once?"
Zhou Shaoming couldn't imagine it, but when he saw George's expression of secret joy, he said: "Not relying on the power of the Japanese media, regarding the last incident you filmed in Japan, most of the Japanese people want to see the movie you shot! And...
