Chapter 770 "Terminator" Premiere (2)

Beijing, Lingxiao Pavilion International Theater.

The long red carpet was laid over 100 meters.

This place is already full of voices, because the stars who are about to attend include top domestic stars, directors, film and television industry leaders, and so on.

Media reporters, all kinds of long guns and short guns, are ready to go.

Every time a big star walks on the red carpet, it is as bright as day, and the cheers are endless.

Lin Xiao originally didn't want to walk on the red carpet, but later changed his mind.

This time, Lin Xiao's female companion on the red carpet caught many people by surprise.

Because the one who accompanied Lin Xiao on the red carpet this time was not the heroine of "Terminator", Kelly Logan, nor the queen sister.

It was a relatively unfamiliar face.

Of course, this face may be a little strange to ordinary people, but to the media, it is not unfamiliar at all, because it is Xiao Jie who accompanied Lin Xiao on the red carpet today.

What happened to Xiao Jie on Hong Kong Island, although it was not widely reported due to Lin Xiao's interference, what happened to Xiao Jie triggered the fact that several major domestic giants jointly blocked Yuanxing Media from Hong Kong Island. It's really no secret.

This shows Xiao Jie's position in Lin Xiao's heart.

And Lin Xiao showed his fangs for the first time after going public.

No matter how bad Yuanxing is, it is still a large company with a market value of tens of billions, but in the domestic film and television industry, it has no power to fight back against the High Heaven Pavilion.

Now, Yuanxing Cinemas is already close to selling. There is no other way. It has been jointly banned by domestic film and television giants such as Lingxiao Pavilion. Yuanxing Cinemas is directly facing the embarrassing situation of having no films to broadcast.

The performance is getting worse day by day, so in the end, only the strong can cut off their wrists, but likewise no one dares to take over casually.

Closer to home.

The premiere of "The Terminator."

Chinese people like to put a theme on the premiere of a movie, and the premiere of "Terminator" is no exception.

The name of the premiere is "Lin Xiao's World of Science Fiction Movies."

The leading actors all appeared on stage, and first they briefly interviewed them.

The host of tonight's premiere is Liao Qing, the host from CCTV Movie Channel.

Then, the actors began to reveal some things during the filming.

Anyway, it's all kinds of exaggeration, why to shoot a certain plot, and then how hard it is, how difficult it is, etc.

Then naturally Lin Xiao accepted an interview.

For example, when asked: "Why did you choose Kelly Logan as the heroine?"

Lin Xiao's answer was very interesting: "I knew her as a Hollywood actress in North America."

What you said makes sense!I was speechless.

"Actually, at the earliest time, I wanted to choose a domestic female star to play this role." Lin Xiao said again.

"Then why did you choose Kelly Logan in the end? Is it because of the North American market?" Liao Qing asked.

The old drivers in the audience were also very curious.

"There is a part of the reason, but it's not the main reason. The main reason is because I read some netizens' comments on the current co-productions, and finally changed my mind." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Oh? What kind of comment?" Liao Qing asked curiously.

"I remember a netizen's comment, which won my heart. Well, that's what the comment said. I won't disclose which film the specific comment was made on. The netizen said, why do we co-produce a film? Our male star in Huaguo Always play single, and then the heroine and the like are roles played by foreign male stars?" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Huh?" Many people were a little surprised.

I didn’t expect this to be the reason, but when I think about it, it seems to be true. In most co-productions, the male leads are foreign Hollywood stars, and the female leads played by domestic female stars seem to be most of the time. It is true that they all fall in love with the foreign male protagonists in the movie.

"Then, that netizen said again, why? It's okay for Hollywood movies to play like this, but co-productions, why do they still play like this? There is no movie that can have a reversal?"

"In reality, it's fine for some beauties in China to favor foreigners. Why is this still the case in movies? Why can't everyone satisfy their fantasy of winning glory for the country in movies?"

"Then I think this netizen's comment is very reasonable."

"So I thought, if this film is purely Chinese people participating, then the savior is Chinese people, nothing surprising, but if there are Hollywood female stars involved, then it's a bit of a reversal, In Hollywood movies, foreigners always save the world, so why can't we Chinese be the savior?"

Although it was just a joke, it made the people below, especially some directors and bigwigs in the film and television industry, think about it.

Co-productions do have the problem that Lin Xiao mentioned, but everyone has not paid much attention to it.

And actually?Chinese people are sometimes very sensitive, especially when there was a certain film that was advertised as a historical fantasy blockbuster in Huaguo, what happened?
A lot of handsome guys from Huaguo, all became the foil of the two foreigners.

Not only that, there are so many masters and generals in Huaguo, but in the end they can't do anything to the monster, and then the two lame foreigners are so awesome that they can get down on the monster alone.

In such a huge country of China, it turned out to rely on two foreigners to save the world. That's fine, but Nima, the only heroine, flirts with the foreigner male lead. This is unbearable.

What about the promised kingdom of heaven?How could a female general look down on the handsome guys and heroes of our country, but still miss the yellow-haired foreigner hero?
Where does this make us Chinese men lose face?
These may seem like small complaints from Chinese audiences, but in fact, they reflect many potential problems.

That is, this kind of movie, the plot is arranged in such a way, that any man in Hua country will feel awkward after watching it.

It's a miracle that a film like this is going to be a hit.

Don't underestimate this kind of detail. For example, "The Ultimate" uses a Hollywood female star as the heroine, and then the male protagonist and villain are all Chinese faces. In fact, in general, it first pleases the domestic audience.

For Hollywood, for North America, maybe their audiences don't care too much about these things, but for Chinese people.

Today's economic development in China allows Chinese people to say with pride that we are rich, and we are not weaker than any other country.

But in fact, the mentality of Hua people is still somewhat inferior, and they have not kept up with the pace of economic development, or they have not been able to change for a while.

But it is precisely because of this mentality that it will appear more sensitive, and this kind of plot will make the Chinese feel uncomfortable.

In fact, this point can also be seen from the casting of movies, and the directors of Huaguo actually have this mentality.
