Chapter 4620: Countermeasures
Tyson's fist brought the entire atmosphere to a boiling point. The arrival of such a group of Michaels undoubtedly forced the Motion Picture Association of America to explain why half of the theater chains in the United States suddenly removed "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: The Miao Crisis" from the shelves. Before such a group of famous Michaels, the MPAA had to explain.
Of course, there is an explanation. After sitting up from the ground and recovering a little, Christopher Dodd immediately published the Film Association's explanation of the matter on his official Weibo - all of this is the choice of the major theaters. This is standard business practice. It has nothing to do with the Motion Picture Association.
But obviously, such a pale explanation is not convincing at all. Commercial activity? Now it is clear that "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: Miao Crisis" was a hit, with the box office exceeding 320 million US dollars in three days. When you talk about business behavior, isn't this just slapping yourself in the face?
"Let Dodd speak out!" Michael Bay shouted.
"Christopher Dodd, you have the guts to speak out!" Michael Tyson roared.
Come out and speak? fart! You have such a big fist, I come out to talk to you? If it were someone else, I wouldn't be afraid even if it were the current world super boxing champion. But Tyson, I don’t dare. You are a guy who dares to bite people's ears in the ring. If I come out and get punched to death by you, wouldn't it be an injustice? This manly man won't speak out if he can't speak out.
Of course, although Christopher Dodd did not dare to come out for dialogue, he would not just sit back and wait. If this commotion continues, it will have a huge impact on the reputation of the American Film Institute. Immediately, Christopher Dodd contacted several major American companies and asked them to come forward to clarify the matter. After all, they were the ones pushing this matter, and he was just taking the lead.
After all, initially, these theater chains were under the control of major American film giants. However, it was later forcibly separated due to antitrust laws. It is not allowed that the major film companies in the United States no longer own theater chains. However, although the major film companies in the United States have sold theater chains, the relationship between them is disconnected. This is wanting to divide. It can't be divided either.
Immediately afterwards, major American film giants also issued official Weibo. Of course, every time an official Weibo post is made, the major film company giants feel a twinge of pain. Because this 'Weibo' was invented by Lin Feng, and through Lin Feng's influence and financial resources, it became popular all over the world in a short period of time. Become an indispensable tool in everyone's life. Yes, it is no longer computer software. But a life tool. It has become an indispensable tool in people's lives. For example, kitchen knives, mops, etc.
Moreover, after the ‘Weibo’ continues to be updated, you can not only express your voice. You can also post videos, which makes ‘Weibo’ more practical and popular. Of course, it also made Lin Feng's enemies even more miserable. Because they want the most convenient way to publish official news, it must be Weibo. And this is Lin Feng's, no matter what he thinks, he is upset. What if there is a conflict between the two parties someday?
They are not worried about Lin Feng blocking their Weibo. Because those Lin Feng are seeking their own destruction.
What they are afraid of is that Lin Feng's sentence - you still use my Weibo - is enough to embarrass them to death. It's a pity that they know this but have to use it, which is their sorrow and helplessness.
Major theater chains chose to temporarily remove "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: Miao Crisis" from the shelves, and chose to release our film instead. It’s because we see that our films have better market prospects. And we have already signed a release contract before. We have priority screening rights. This is a priority that we buy with money. Therefore, this is not a monopoly, but a business practice. This is not illegal! ——Major American film giants have made these remarks one after another.
Of course, these remarks. It is naturally impossible to convince an audience who cannot see the movie. However, this at least gives the major American film giants an explanation, a defensible explanation. As for whether they can satisfy the people, they don't care much. After all, as long as they make good movies, the audience will go to the cinema to watch them. On the contrary, if you say that no matter how good your reputation is and your character is good, if the movie you make is not good-looking, the audience will not be stupid enough to put money in your pocket. After all, money isn’t hot, so who would think it’s too much?
Therefore, in the eyes of the five major American movie giants, as long as their movies are released, they can distract movie fans. And this person has always been the most forgetful. After all, there are so many headlines every day. After one year, who can still remember what made the headlines last year and this year? No one will remember! Forgetfulness is human nature.
Therefore, the five major film giants do not intend to explain too much at all. However, they got one thing wrong.
That is, although humans are forgetful, if something is constantly mentioned and mentioned, no one will forget it. They ignored one thing, the most fatal point, which was the group of Michaels invited by Lin Feng!
Since they are here, they must be entrusted by Lin Feng to support Lin Feng. Since they stood up for Lin Feng, they wouldn't just do it half-heartedly. The biggest difference between Westerners and Chinese is that the Chinese like to say things like - almost, that's it. Westerners, of course, mainly refer to developed countries, and they do not have these words in their vocabulary. When doing things, we must strive to do them well.
Of course, there are people who do things perfunctorily, but that is not the mainstream value of the West, so there is no need to mention such nitpicking. Therefore, these Michaels did not leave. Instead, they began to call on people to boycott the movies of the five major movie giants.
"I have always believed that everyone has the right to choose. Whether it is good or bad, everyone has the right to choose. Of course, they must also pay the price for their choice. In this matter, the movie giants deprived us of the right to choose. No matter what reason they deprive us of it, this is unacceptable. The great founding marshal President Washington said that human rights are natural. This is our human rights!" Michael Jackson said loudly.
"In the past, when I was in that era, blacks were discriminated against. But with the progress of society and the development of civilization, our society today is more and more tolerant of races. Human beings are a race that knows how to reflect on themselves. Depriving citizens of the right to choose is the biggest setback for society. We will fight to the end for this matter! The American Film Association must give us all an explanation!" Michael Jordan said loudly.
"Freedom! The most valuable wealth of mankind is the spirit of freedom. The MPAA is depriving us of our free will, which is like taking our country back to the darkest era of the European Middle Ages thousands of years ago. This is a regression in human history. We cannot compromise!" Michael Bay shouted to the sky.
"I changed my life and my future with my fists. In the face of such unfair treatment and such a regression in human history, I will use my fists to defend the rights that every citizen deserves!" Michael Tyson raised his fist as big as a casserole and roared.
The appeals of several Michaels made the crowd more excited. Of course, they did not incite the crowd to attack the MPAA. Although, they have such charm. It can even be said that now they only need one word, and the crowd will rush into the headquarters of the MPAA to question Christopher Dodd. Even, they may beat him up. But several Michaels did not do this.
If they did so, the nature of the matter would change. They went from being reasonable to being unreasonable. However, now they really don't know what to do? If they continue to make trouble, the American Film Association and the five major film giants will not pay any attention to them at all. They will just watch from the sidelines. If you make too much trouble, they will be most eager. At that time, the police and public opinion will naturally deal with you. If you continue to waste time like this, they will be happy to see you laugh. The energy of the masses is limited, and the concentration of Americans is limited. They can't keep making trouble because of this issue.
After two or three days, maybe their movie will come out at night, and the crowd will disperse. After all, who has nothing to do and is willing to march and demonstrate here all day long? It's too tiring. So, they just waited, waiting for these Michaels to leave helplessly.
What to do? Several Michaels shouted empty slogans for a while, and their morale was shaking the sky, but seeing that they were about to be as powerful as a tiger, the second drum was full of energy, and the third drum was about to start to decline, Michael Jordan took out his phone and called Lin Feng. They really didn't know how to deal with this situation, so they could only find Lin Feng.
"What should we do?" Lin Feng received Jordan's call and was secretly amazed at the calmness and sophistication of the five major film company giants. They saw that the crowd could not last long. So, sit back and wait and see.
"Yes, Lin, what should we do now? We can't just end it hastily. This is not in line with my philosophy. We can lose, but we can never give up. You can beat me, but you can't beat me!" Jordan talked about his philosophy of victory again.
"Haha, of course I won't admit defeat. But we need to be flexible. Didn't they say that this is a market behavior? Didn't they say that this is because their movies are more popular in the market! Then we will use their tricks to call on everyone to boycott their movies!" Lin Feng laughed.
Call on everyone to boycott their movies! Michael Jordan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he nodded and hung up the phone.
