You made me a superstar

Chapter 399 Humiliation Day

August sixteenth.

For the Chinese film industry, it is definitely a silent day.

The highly anticipated "Infernal Affairs" dropped directly from 700 million at the box office to more than 2000 million at the box office.

Although it had been prepared for a long time, this huge gap undoubtedly dealt a severe blow to everyone in Huaxing.

After five days of release, although the box office is close to 4000 million, it is still a milestone in Chinese movies, but it is hopeless to reach the top of [-] million.

The premiere of "Superman 2" was close to 5000 million RMB at the box office!

The ticket price is twice that of "Infernal Affairs", and the premiere schedule is full when the three films "Nightwalker", "Our Motherland", and "Infernal Affairs" are in full swing, and Another big Hollywood 3D movie, the failure of "Infernal Affairs" seems to be within reason.

At the same time as the box office announcement.

The official website of the China Film Association published several videos of "Superman 2" director James Lee's lecture on "Talking about 3D Movies" at the venue.

[Hollywood and Chinese films are fundamentally different. James Lee’s lecture gave me a sudden insight, and I learned a lot of advanced knowledge of Western industrial films] from director Shen Jinsong.

[If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Any strength is worth learning. We must first know ourselves before we can make better progress. The lecture has indeed benefited a lot. I am very grateful to Mr. James Li for answering our questions...] from the director Cao Bangguo.

[The Chinese film circle needs to be reformed. We can’t just shoot those literary films and award-winning films. Under the background of the times, commercial films will always be the mainstream. As directors, we should move closer to the mainstream. The special effects of "Superman 2" are too good. It was too shocking. After listening to this lecture, I realized my own shortcomings...] From director Zhang Min.

[There were too many people at the venue, we were standing in the aisle...] from actor Lu Zitao.

【…】

Under the video, the comments of famous Huaxia directors or celebrities in Huaxia entertainment circle were pinned to the top, and each comment was extremely respected or sought after.

After reading these comments, you can unconsciously feel the authority of this lecture and the sense of superiority of the participants, as if this "lecture" is a grand film event at the palace level.

At three in the morning.

The headline "James Lee talks about 3D movies" was listed as a hot search on Weibo, and it was rarely posted on the homepage, with the word "explosive" posted on it.

There are naturally many supporters of veteran directors...

Countless film critics flocked to comment on this concert, and they all felt that this was a very "inclusive", "openness of Chinese films", "a collision, exchange and learning between Chinese and Western films", and even "learning from foreigners". To control the barbarians" and other words have appeared.

Click on Weibo, and scroll to the title of "Movie". A large number of films are all bragging about the amazing special effects of "Superman 2" and James Lee's lecture. Netizens who don't know the truth are seeing a lot of filmmakers bragging After the significance of this "lecture" to Chinese films and the positive era effect of "Superman 2" on the international film industry, they all began to deviate under the rhythm of the navy...

[Although "Infernal Affairs" cannot represent the hope of Chinese movies, and although there is no rule that Hollywood movies cannot be released in August, the appearance of "Superman" is undoubtedly too purposeful!Look at what our "predecessors" from the directors' association are doing. Up to now, they are still kneeling and licking the ass of the foreign adults. This lecture has been blown up to the sky, so they can't stand up, right? 】

Four in the morning.

The insomniac Feng Kai couldn't hold back his anger, and finally irrationally sent out such a series of curses on Weibo.

After scolding, he was scolded back by countless people in an instant.

The screen is full of "small belly and chicken intestines", "What happened to the release of "Superman 2"? It's not the domestic film protection month, has five days of box office time been left for "Infernal Affairs"?" "Chinese movies need a hundred flowers to bloom. I admit that "Infernal Affairs" "Tao" is excellent, but is it so difficult to admit that the special effects of "Superman 2" are excellent?" "Huaxia has such small-minded directors who monopolize you, and Huaxia movies are not making progress." "Conservatives, have you been hurt? Are you hurt Only then can we make progress!" "What is the dog barking? Your master Zhou Yang hasn't even spoken, what are you barking at?"

After Feng Kai saw the countless comments below, he almost got hurt internally.

The whole Weibo is like a cesspit.

After calming down, Feng Kai realized with a frown that all of this seemed to be premeditated, as if a pair of invisible hands were holding them tightly, and caught them off guard, making them breathless angry.

But the only good thing is that these cursing did not last for more than an hour, a large group of Zhou Yang's fans rushed into the comment area under his Weibo, and scolded with these people.

"You are a bunch of dogs!" ""Superman 2" appeared just after "Infernal Affairs" was released, this is not a sniper or something" "Deliberately disgusting people, right?" ?” “Compared with Hollywood 3D blockbusters, art movies don’t have an advantage, okay?” “A bunch of stinky shitholes…”

..............................

Weibo on the morning of August [-] was very lively.

Click in, or Zhou Yang's fans are scolding.

Scold those veteran directors in Huaxia, scold "Superman 2", scold James Lee...

Traitors, traitors, shameless, treason...

Such ugly words and curses were all scolded.

Brainless, stupid, uneducated, with no structure at all, your family Zhou Yang is so embarrassing that he has been thrown internationally...

Or those fans who defended "Superman 2" and the critics of the navy film critics were scolding Zhou Yang's fans, all kinds of ugly words came one after another.

The whole Weibo became a mess.

Under this huge heat, the Weibo server became stuck again!

"Depend on!"

"This person's fan fighting power is too strong!"

"Hurry up and use the rented servers!"

"it is good!"

"The server is paralyzed again...Let's rent a few more."

"Row!"

"Fortunately, this person didn't speak. If this person posts on Weibo, I guess the server will have to come again..."

"How many fans does this person have?"

"240 million!"

"God, these are all real fans!"

"Yes!"

Weibo is very lively.

But Weibo's backstage staff were busy. Weibo engineer Dai Gao had just attended a friend's wedding, and the server was paralyzed.

After finally fixing the server, replacing the capacity of the spare server, and asking Weibo's official referees to perform various title and cooling treatments, Weibo finally returned to normal.

Dai Gao let out a long sigh of relief, looking at Zhou Yang's 240 million followers on Weibo, he felt a little lucky.

"Around 60.00% of Weibo's active users have participated in this scolding war..."

When the database colleague who was sweating profusely behind him made such a sigh, Dai Gao couldn't hide the shock on his face.

They never thought that a star would have such an astonishing amount of traffic.

Not long after this shock lasted, they heard Manager Xu Changhong, the person in charge of the technical department in the distance, running over in a hurry, with a serious face on his face.

"A call from the superior, everyone will work overtime at noon today!"

..............................

April [-]th.

The box office of "Superman 2" reached a staggering 300 million yuan.

The daily box office of RMB 800 million on the first day, plus the box office of RMB 5000 million and RMB 300 million on the second day, the two-day box office exceeded [-] million!
It shocked the entire Chinese film industry, and made countless Chinese filmmakers gasp!
How much is "Infernal Affairs"?

On the sixth day of release, the box office dropped to 600 million!

400 million less than before!
Even the daily box office of "Night Walker" is 400 million!

About to be flat...

Perhaps, the data of 600 million is a good data for other movies, but for "Infernal Affairs", it is a disaster.

It's not about the movie, it's not about the actors, it's not about the fans...

"Infernal Affairs", as the most promising literary film in China, was crushed heavily by the Hollywood 2D blockbuster "Superman 3", and lost hope of reaching the top, which seems to be an established fact.

Can't beat it!
I can't beat it!

The scolding war on Weibo is still going on, but, under the official control and criticism, the heat of the scolding war is much less.

In addition to being shocked by the box office figures of "Superman 2", netizens were also shocked by Zhou Yang's Weibo fans.

Three days after the opening of Weibo, the number of Weibo fans exceeded 300 million, and it is still making great strides.

In three days, the popularity list is number one!Top rating!Number one in fan growth...

Numerous firsts made netizens realize who is China's well-deserved top player, and also turned EXC's rising star Lu Zitao into a fringe figure.

"Why didn't Zhou Yang respond?"

"Yes!"

"What's the matter with Zhou Yang? It's normal for the so-called lecture not to attend, but it's time, shouldn't he say something?"

"It seems that Zhou Yang is in Laomei!"

"What is he doing in Laomei?"

"Isn't Lao Mei's "Infernal Affairs" going to be drawn? He seems to be communicating with Lao Mei, hoping to make more films for "Infernal Affairs"?"

"Forget it, you have been bullied like this by "Superman 2" in China's own territory, you are in Laomei, isn't this going to be servile?"

"..."

"I asked Huaxing official, Huaxing official, even Zhou Yang's agent Xu Mei couldn't contact Zhou Yang!"

"Why don't you take Xu Mei to Laomei?"

"I don't know... It seems that it is inconvenient for Xu Mei to deal with Huaxia's affairs..."

"He went to Laomei alone?"

"Yes!"

"The latest news, overseas "Infernal Affairs" has all been drawn, and the total box office is only 130 million US dollars!"

"So low?"

"Yes, the overseas publicity can't keep up, and the filming can't keep up..."

"This……"

online.

Netizens were talking.

But no one knows what Zhou Yang did in Laomei. They only know that the overseas version of "Infernal Affairs" has already been drawn.

The box office was poor, only $130 million!

After seeing this statistic, Zhou Yang's fans felt very uncomfortable, almost humiliating statistic!
Just when everyone feels depressed...

Huaxing's official Weibo suddenly announced another news without warning.

"Exceeding "Saw", the overseas version of "Infernal Affairs" and "The Departed" broke the box office of 600 million US dollars at the premiere, breaking the export film record!"
