This sentence became the front page headlines of major media newspapers the next day.
Countless people have praised this young Chinese director who took the initiative to step down from the altar.
After all, in this era of glamor and wealth, there are very few superstars who can understand themselves so clearly.
Many superstars of the same generation tend to lose themselves in the praise and glory. They really regard themselves as god-like existences, and are worshiped and worshiped. There are also a few people who can take the initiative to take off their own Tutankhamun.
With his golden mask, he released himself from the altar and told everyone that I am also an ordinary person. I, like you, have joys and sorrows, worries and fears...
"Facing the challenge of the great director Cameron, Yi Feiyang, who has created countless legends and is known as the God of Miracles, openly admitted that he was afraid of failure and was afraid of losing to Cameron. It can be seen that we have seen a more real

"No longer the confident, god-like man, but a young director with troubles and worries. China Yi, who stepped down from the altar, once again showed us his true self." --- "New York."
Entertainment News.
"The war has begun, and China's Yi expressed his fear of losing without any scruples. This not only allows us to see a different version of him, but also a more authentic and emotional version of him!" --- "Los Angeles Daily News".
Corresponding to these personal reviews are the film reviews of the two dramas "Avatar" and "Havoc in Heaven" after their premiere.
Generally speaking, both movies are basically praised, especially on the Internet. It can be said that there is endless dispute. Everyone thinks that the movie they support is the best and the best! Only a very few people stand in the middle.
, believes that both dramas are very good, "One uses magical techniques to spread Chinese myths all over the world", "One uses science fiction to once again call for peace instead of war."
But as a competitor, there is never a middle ground, either you lose or you win.
Therefore, both dramas have begun to work hard, and each company has also begun to do word-of-mouth publicity and box office public relations. They hope to take the lead in word-of-mouth and box office in the future and beat each other.
First, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Columbia Pictures produced a viewing special of "Avatar" and began to hold activities such as gift distribution and online voting to select the best fans. After these activities were successfully held, another
A series of actions such as producing Avatar commemorative posters.
Not to mention all this, in order to push this drama to the highest level, gambling king Kirkorian did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build a tall model of Avatar on both sides of Hollywood Boulevard. So that anyone can see this huge model at a glance.
, making the Hollywood area immediately become a tourist destination. Many domestic and foreign tourists would ask to take photos with the Avatar model when they arrived here, and this model was also uploaded to Weibo, triggering a wave of Avatar craze in the Weibo community.
Compared with MGM's fanfare and fuss, Fantasy Entertainment has started online marketing. It not only drives the number of viewers through online ticket sales, but also uses online reviews to select loyal fans, and then combines those excellent reviews and posts them.
into posts and published continuously on the Internet.
Of course, this is not enough. No matter in terms of popularity or popularity, "Havoc in Heaven" is slightly inferior to "Avatar". In order to make up for the gap as much as possible, Yi Feiyang made a decision and announced on Facebook Fantasy Entertainment will cooperate with the American toy company Hasbro to develop the "Monkey King vs. Transformers" series of toys. At the same time, it will solicit story ideas for one million US dollars, etc.
This solicitation event was like a thunder on the ground, leaving everyone stunned. No one expected that Yi Feiyang would be so cunning in marketing the Monkey King and Transformers.
In fact, the reason why Yi Feiyang did this was because in his previous life, he had seen the story of the Monkey King and the Transformers fighting in a pirated children's magazine. He found it very interesting and novel. Mythical stories and science fiction When the stories are combined together, they may seem nondescript, but in fact there are many interesting sparks. The most notable one is the "Avengers" in the previous life, which actually tied together a group of people including Thor and Iron Man from Greek mythology. It's actually a very interesting idea.
In fact, the reason why Yi Feiyang came up with this idea is that in addition to binding the Monkey King and Transformers together, the most important thing is to subtly integrate Chinese traditional culture into the United States, and all of this must start from a baby.
I have to say that Yi Feiyang's move is very poisonous. You have to know how pure American children are. There are almost none who don't like Transformers. Now there is a furry and powerful monkey. The feeling is even more novel and fun. .So The Monkey King immediately spread among American children.
Immediately afterwards, the children clamored to watch a movie, and of course the one they watched was "Havoc in Heaven".
…
The New Year’s competition is in full swing.
In just half a month, the two dramas took turns to dominate the weekend box office rankings.
All other films were reduced to cannon fodder in the face of these two monster movies. The film industry was in mourning and blood flowed like rivers.
In half a month, the North American box office of "Havoc in Heaven" reached 560 million U.S. dollars, breaking almost all records of fantasy entertainment movies. What is even more powerful is "Avatar", which has surpassed you in the North American box office within half a month. Reached 677 million US dollars!
In other words, in the fertile land of North America, Cameron is still the well-deserved king. His movies outperform Yi Fei Yang and lead the North American box office.
Of course, this is not over yet. After a month passed, the distance between the two increased again.
Fantasy Entertainment's "Havoc in Heaven" has a monthly box office of US$1.089 billion!
MGM's "Avatar" has a monthly box office of US$1.377 billion!
Unbelievable!
Absolutely outrageous!
No one could have imagined that the box office of these two dramas could exceed 1 billion in just one month!
And "Avatar" is as high as more than 1.3 billion!
The whole world was shaken by these two dramas!
The entire film industry was overturned because of these two dramas!
The box office competition has reached this stage, and it seems that the winner has been decided.
In the end, Yi Feiyang's Chinese-language movies couldn't compete with Cameron's science fiction movies!
All the media reported this very enthusiastically.
"The King of the World, Cameron, defeated Magic Yang, and Magic Yang was no longer in power. The Monkey King was defeated by Avatar!"
"Although Yi Feiyang has created a new box office myth, the total box office is still inferior to Cameron. Avatar is proud of Hollywood and dominates the world!"
"Halfway through the box office war, the winner has been decided. China will easily lose to Avatar!"
…
It can be seen from the many comments above that basically most media are not optimistic about Yi Feiyang's "Havoc in Heaven", thinking that he has already lost the show in the first half and has no chance to make a comeback in the second half.
“The box office gap will only get wider!” This is the conclusion given by the most authoritative box office speculation website.
In response to this conclusion, there are at least a small number of Yi Feiyang's loyal fans and supporters who refuse to admit defeat. In their view, there is still one month left, and any miracle may occur.
"Besides, these are only North American box office, not global box office. The final result could be anything!" a fan defended.
Cameron's supporters sneered at this.
"Even the North American box office has lost like this. If we return the global box office, it will only be even worse!"
There was a chorus of jeers and taunts.
…
Cameron soaked happily in the hot spring. The green hot spring water soaked him comfortably. Beside him, the gambling king Kirkorian was chewing a cigar and enjoying the wine.
Next to the hot spring, the withered Akio Morita was lying on the massage chair, letting a hot blonde girl give him a massage.
"Congratulations, dear Cameron, and congratulations on your movie box office exceeding 1.3 billion!" Gambling King Kerkorian said happily while biting his cigar.
"Yes, we invested more than 500 million this time and were able to get 1.3 billion in box office, which is already a great harvest!" Akio Morita said with a groan.
Cameron didn't say anything, he just held the water on his face and felt the warmth comfortably.
After a moment, Kerkorian said: "Actually, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that we saw the Chinese boy Yi Na was defeated! God, although that boy's movie box office also exceeded one billion, but compared to us
There's still a big gap, I guess he won't be able to catch up even if he takes a rocket!"
"That being said, isn't 13 a very unlucky number in the West? Maybe there will be some changes later!" Akio Morita said cautiously.
At this time, Cameron said, "What changes will happen? My box office will only get higher and better, and China Yi will have no choice but to admit defeat!"
"Okay! Dear Cameron, what I want is your domineering attitude. Only in this way can you be worthy of your title of King of the World!" Kerkorian gave a thumbs up.
Cameron smiled arrogantly, then picked up the red wine and said: "Now, all we have to do is wait a month and open the champagne to celebrate!"
…
"A Yang, what should we do? Are we going to lose this time?" Fatty Gao Jiabao asked Yi Feiyang worriedly.
Others also gathered around Yi Feiyang and looked at him with worry. As the backbone and spiritual pillar of Fantasy Entertainment, everyone pinned their last hope on Yi Feiyang.
This young man who has always been good at creating miracles has always been able to turn things around at the most critical moments. Now, can he still do it?
Seeing everyone's worried looks, Yi Feiyang didn't know what to say. He wanted to comfort everyone, but felt that no matter what he said, it would be in vain.
After thinking for a while, Yi Feiyang suddenly said: "Maybe there is only one way to increase our box office..."
"What can we do? Tell me quickly!" everyone said anxiously.
Yi Feiyang stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and lit a cigarette. The smoke curled up.
Looking at the ant-like crowd below the high-rise building, Yi Feiyang said: "This is our company announcing its official listing!"
"What, is Dream going on the market?" Everyone was stunned.
For a long time, Dream Entertainment was unwilling to be listed on Wall Street under the pressure of Yi Feiyang, which made countless large companies that wanted to acquire Dream unable to do so. But now... Yi Feiyang actually said that he wanted to list the company. This is not for the enemy.
Any chance?
"Yes, I want to go public at this time. First of all, I will only disperse 30% of the equity to go public to ensure that the controlling rights are in our hands; secondly, with the help of the listing, we will be able to raise enough funds to further expand
, or even acquire other companies that are right with us! Finally, as soon as the news of our dream listing gets out, our drama will be pushed to the top immediately, and the box office will increase significantly!"
Yi Feiyang slowly talked about the plan in his heart, his tone was calm and determined, but everyone listened with excitement and nervousness.
"Dear boss, no matter what you say or do, we support you!" Vice President Dures first expressed his stance.
"Yes, we will do whatever you say!" Fat Jack said.
"Fuck those sons of bitches!" This was Bill Rabbit's expletive.
