Chapter 1594 Fan Outbreak
Novel Network
In the hot pot restaurant in Magic Capital, Xiao Yunhai's face was a little hesitant after answering the phone.
What he hates the most is that outsiders use his fame to promote movies, especially without his permission, forcibly linking two movies that can't be beaten. This kind of thing is simply fucking. Therefore, what Franks Guy did made him very upset.
Xiao Yunhai is very aware of his position in the hearts of movie fans, so no matter what movie, even his own company's movie, he rarely makes any positive or negative comments.
Up to now, Bikoven's "King Kong" has been praised by him, and its box office in China has directly exceeded more than four billion US dollars. No other movie has this honor.
When Bai Huijie saw that Xiao Yunhai had answered the phone, her face seemed not quite right, so she called Huang Bo a color.
Huang Bo understood and asked, "Third brother, what's making you unhappy? Say it and let us be happy."
When Xiao Yunhai heard it, he was immediately amused, and said, "You kid knows how to pick up my teeth all day long, and you have the ability to make one yourself."
Huang Bo giggled and said, "I don't have that kind of work. Was it Mr. Liang's call just now? What did he say?"
Xiao Yunhai repeated the matter and said, "This is what I hate the most. It's really outrageous."
Huang Bo was also a little indignant, and said: "If the quality of a movie depends on the actors, investment, and scenes, then it's just a commercial movie. This Franks Guy, there are so many big-name stars in the crew, he makes his own. It's just a matter of publicity. It's really disgusting to have to use us as a stepping stone for his movie promotion. However, this old boy may have made a wrong calculation this time, and he doesn't look at the minds of your Chinese movie fans. What is your status in China, to dare to do such a thing is simply courting death."
Xiao Yunhai said: "I guess Mr. Liang's phone call is also afraid of causing disgust among my fans, so I explained it in advance to avoid misunderstandings in the future. Hey, look, at our movie conference tomorrow, this The topic will definitely be asked. Oh, well, Franks Gay is doing this to help us promote it."
Liang Hui's guess was correct. That night, the major forums were full of posts about this matter.
"Who is the director named Franks Gay? It's such a big tone that he dares to slander our Yunhuang movie."
"Does he not want to hang out in Huaxia? Not to mention that Emperor Yun won't make a bad film, even if it does become a bad film, we can only scold him. What kind of thing is he, when will it be his turn to speak? ."
"Is "Jedi Men" good? Can it be better than "Resident Evil"? Since he said that "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" box office is not as good as it, then we will slap him in the face. Let his movie be completely finished. "
"Agreed. You must be punished for slandering my idol. I propose that the box office of "Jedi Men" will not exceed 100 million."
"That's right upstairs. When we unite, we just don't go to his movies to see how arrogant he is."
"Unfortunately, Brother Hui has been affected. There is no other way. For the sake of Emperor Yun, I can only feel sorry for him."
Under the pressure of people with a heart, fans have called friends and friends, and are ready to join forces to boycott "Jedi Men".
Seeing the comments of fans online,
Rook Hung, Paramount's head of Asia, was overjoyed.
The reason why this matter was completely fermented in less than two hours was all that he asked the Navy to do urgently.
Because Paramount's films "The Tempest" and "Jedi Men" are only one day apart from each other, the genre is also an action film, and it is also a big production, and the investment is no less than Disney.
If "Jedi Boys" is unlucky, then he will naturally benefit a lot from it.
Like Franks Gay, Lu Kexiong is also not optimistic about Xiao Yunhai's "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance", and he does not regard it as an opponent at all in his heart.
Indeed, compared with their two high-end and atmospheric films, "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" is indeed too far behind.
But Xiao Yunhai's status among movie fans is very clear to Franks Guy.
Therefore, before the "Storm" crew started the propaganda campaign, he gave instructions to only say good things about "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" and not say anything bad about it.
Anyway, this film is not a threat to them, and troubles should be less subtle.
The same goes for the crews of other companies.
But I didn't expect the director of "Jedi Men" to be so stupid. To slander Xiao Yunhai's film in China is simply courting death.
Naturally, Lu Kexiong would not miss this opportunity, not only him, but other film companies like GM, MGM, and Huaxia have all reacted the same way.
Under their deliberate propaganda, "Jedi Men" suddenly became the target of public criticism.
Even if Liang Hui made a large-scale explanation on his homepage, it was not recognized by fans.
Early the next morning, Franks Gay left the hotel with the crew, his face was very ugly, his eyes had red circles, and he obviously hadn't slept all night.
He didn't expect things to develop to this point. In just one night, "Jedi Men" became a movie that everyone in China shouted and beat because of his own words.
Just now he received a call from Disney boss Kestel and was reprimanded severely.
Disney has activated an emergency publicity mechanism to try to clean up the film before its release. Otherwise, the consequences can be imagined.
As soon as they walked out of the hotel door, the crew was immediately surrounded by dozens of reporters who had been waiting there for a long time.
"Director Guy, why are you slandering Mr. Xiao's film? Don't you think it's out of character to do so?"
Franks Guy said: "Mr. Xiao is a great director, and I don't mean to discredit him in the slightest."
"But you did say a lot in your publicity that "Tang Bohu Dianqiuxiang" is not as good as "Jedi Men". What's your explanation for this?"
"I just analyzed the pros and cons of the two films from the perspective of an objective filmmaker, and I did not deliberately slander Mr. Xiao and his films. I may have a problem with expression. I'm sorry for the negative impact of the movie. But I really respect Mr. Xiao, please don't scribble in the article."
"Mr. Franks Guy, your words have aroused strong dissatisfaction from Mr. Xiao's hundreds of millions of fans. Do you have anything to say about this?"
"I hope everyone can look at this issue rationally. What I said, I said it as a filmmaker, not as the director of "Jedi Men", please don't boycott our entire crew because of me It took half a year to shoot the film. Please everyone."
Franks Gay finished speaking, bowed deeply, and his attitude was very correct.
At almost the same time, Xiao Yunhai and his crew were also interviewed by reporters.
"I watched the talk show directed by Frank Gay. If I said I was happy, it would be a lie. Of course, it wasn't as angry as everyone thought."
"Mr. Xiao, do you think his comment on your "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" is correct?"
"Frankly speaking, "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" is indeed inferior to "Jedi Men" in terms of actors, investment, and scenes. This is an objective fact. But I don't think our movie will definitely lose to it. "Jedi Men" " is an action blockbuster. In this schedule, a total of four action films will be released, and the competition will be very fierce. It is still unknown what kind of box office it can get. The competition among different low-cost comedy films is relatively much lighter. Therefore, it is too early to say whether the box office will win or lose. In fact, director Franks Gay forcibly squeezed two films of different themes together to compare them. There is something wrong. An action film, a costume comedy, can't be beaten, there is really no comparison."
"Mr. Xiao, now your countless fans are very dissatisfied with Mr. Frank Gay's remarks and say they want to boycott his films. What do you think about this?"
"A film is made through the efforts of everyone on the set, and it should not be dismissed. It is true that Mr. Frank Gay's words, although I disagree in some places, did not denigrate me and mine. Movies. I hope fans can take a sane look at this.”
Xiao Yunhai didn't talk much about what he said, but just told the truth. As for how to do it, it depends on the fans' own opinions.
This is Xiao Yunhai, who has a broad mind. If he changes to another director, he can't wait to talk about it immediately, just to kill a competitor.
Not only Xiao Yunhai, but other directors of the crew were also asked by reporters for their views on this matter.
Without exception, almost all of them accuse Franks Gay of using Xiao Yunhai's films to elevate the value of his films.
Neither domestic nor foreign directors have given up this opportunity to beat the underdogs.
In this way, a large-scale action movie that has not yet been released has been directly on the verge of collapse under the joint attack of its competitors.
At the same time, it also showed those entertainment companies that in China, it is absolutely not allowed to speak ill of Xiao Yunhai.
