NOVEL WEB Chapter 418
Chapter 420
Compared with the word-of-mouth reputation of “The Myth of the Dragon Country”, another Hollywood blockbuster “Zen Swordsman” does seem to be a little high.
Originally, before the movie was released, it was almost all praised by the major media!
Most movie fans are looking forward to this new work of director Lewandowski, and countless people are looking forward to the so-called “dragon country cultural elements” in the movie!
They feel that the film directed by Lewandowski will be a good strength in the current Dragon Kingdom film circle!
But… With the official launch of this new film “Zen Swordsman” directed by Lewandowski, everyone is disappointed!
“If this movie is not made by director Lewandowski, there is no bullshit hanging sheep’s head to sell dog meat, in fact, it can be regarded as a good quality movie.”
“But I really can’t figure it out, why did director Lewandowski make such a piece of shit?”
“Yes, this is not his level at all!”
“What is this? Why is it that in our Dragon Country movie, the male protagonist is a black man?
“That’s it! In a movie, there are all races, but there is no orthodox dragon countryman, and this kind of filming makes me vomit! ”
Many people are shouting disgusting!
They are not discriminatory, but simply feel that a movie with the Dragon Kingdom as the main part should have the Dragon Country people as the protagonists.
Even if it is a non-Dragon Country descendant of the Eagle Country, it can do it!
But the question is, find a lot of whites and blacks to play, what is the matter?
Or, just let whites and blacks play it entirely, and that’s it.
But the problem is that the couple of men and women and two dragon country couples who appear in the movie, although they are not from the eagle country of dragon country, not only does not make the movie look more right, but it is a little more disgusting!
There is no other reason, it is really this makeup photo, full of stereotypes!
What squinting, freckles, ginger complexion…..
It’s almost like walking out of the most standard stereotypes! It’s as if, they are just vassals of the movie, ornaments and decorations for the male and female protagonists!
The careless makeup and dressing up are full of vulgar correctness, so that many people in the Dragon Kingdom shouted disgusting after reading it!
But even so, there are still some guys whose knees are not very hard, and they have to kneel and lick madly when they see this.
“What do you know? This is a high level of beauty!
“That is, how many years has director Lewandowski been a well-known director, can he not know what is beautiful and what is ugly?”
“What’s wrong with Squinting? The eyes of our dragon country people are small! You cannot fail to acknowledge this fact!
“That is, this movie is definitely not a bad movie, on the contrary, it will definitely win the Oscar for Best Movie, and some people’s trash aesthetic vision is only worthy of watching the most garbage Dragon Kingdom movie!”
“….”
However, although these admiring fans can praise it with their eyes closed, the eyes of the people are bright!
As soon as these comments appeared, they were instantly drowned out by the cries of the masses!
“Where did the Yan slave come from?”
“Sir this way, huh? This kind of garbage movie can be blown out, don’t say what director he is, he is my dad and I don’t watch it!
“Is it that your daddy feeds you, and you are willing to eat it?”
“I really don’t know what face those fans had before compared it with “Dragon Kingdom Mythology”! These two movies are not a level at all! ”
A large number of comments instantly drowned out those guys who washed the floor!
After all, even if fans like director Lewandowski, their eyes are not blind, whether a movie is good or bad, as long as you watch it, you can see it!
Even, many people in the abuse of “Zen Swordsman” are die-hard fans of the original director Lewandowski!
The reason is also simple, but the more you like it, the more disappointed you are, so the more fierce you scold!
“Disgusting, Director Lewandowski belongs to the late festival and does not report!”
“In order to make money, I don’t even want a face, and there is still a face to promote what dragon country culture, the Western dragon country is released simultaneously, who is this disgusting?”
“Exactly! I wanted to say it in the cinema, I thought there would be some reversal in the second half of the movie, but I didn’t expect it…. Even worse! ”
There are also some comments, although not so aggressive, but it looks extremely interesting!
Seems… Something nasty.
“I suddenly remembered a Northern Bear Country joke I saw before!”
“During the Cold War, in order to break into the interior of the Northern Bear Country, the Eagle Country carefully spent countless money and resources to cultivate an ace agent!”
“His Northern Bear Chinese is more authentic than any Northern Bear Countryman!”
“He can pour two pounds of vodka in one breath without breathing!”
“He can fight bare-chested with a bear in the icy North Bear Country wasteland, naked! These habits, which have taken countless years to develop, are almost more authentic than any Northern Bear Countryman!
“After the people of the Eagle Country trained him, they regarded this agent as a trump card and sent him to the Northern Bear Country!”
“On the first day that the agent arrived in the Northern Bear Country, he naturally wanted to find a place to stay. He leaned against the railing at the station and skillfully took out a pack of cigarettes, of course, a classic brand from the Northern Bear Country. However, before he could light the cigarette and take a few puffs.
He heard it, and a Northern Bear Country man next to him also came over with a cigarette: [Hey, Eagle Country Guy, borrow a fire!]
The agent was shocked, and his mind was racing to think about which step he had leaked the flaw, so that the other party could see at a glance that he was from the Eagle Country!”
“However, he thought hard for a long time, and he couldn’t figure out where he missed the filling!”
The agent finally couldn’t help but be curious and asked directly. Who knows, that Northern Bear Country man smiled and said…” When
the commenter said this, he did not continue, but sent a [dog head] expression!
This kind of story is told here, and when it is the most appetizing, it suddenly stops!
Many of the commenters below were instantly unhappy!
“No, what about you?”
“What did he say?”
“So a few, you can’t finish it in one breath, right? Where did the dead eunuch come from?
After a while, the commenter finally returned and continued:
“The words spoken by that Northern Bear Country man are actually very simple.”
“Just one sentence.”
“There are no blacks in our Northern Bear Country, how can I not find out that you are from the Eagle Country?”
Hearing the answer, many of the commenters below immediately burst into joy:
“Poofhaha! It can only be said that the jokes of the Northern Bear Country will never go out of style!
“It’s worthy of being a joke in the country of the Northern Bear, a classic is a classic!”
“Quickly enter the intangible traditional cultural heritage of the Northern Bear Country!”
“Can’t hold back, I’ll laugh first!”
Many film critics are numb with laughter!
Although this joke does not seem to have anything to do with the film industry in terms of theme, the core logic is very similar!
You make a movie, preaching what dragon country culture, and also stir up a gimmick that the dragon country and the West are released at the same time, and at a glance, you want to put the main market in the dragon country.
But as a result, how did you do it?
Let some blacks, whites, play the main roles, and then let the actors of the dragon country who should be the main theme of the movie be “vases” and “mascots”!
Even, to put it strictly, those actors are not even vases and mascots!
Because vases and mascots should at least follow the principle of “beauty”, but those eagle country people are constantly using makeup and styling to ugly, and they are also called high-level beauty, with the intention of brainwashing the dragon countrymen!
For some people who have long knelt down, what their eagle country daddy says, then naturally it is what it is.
But the vast majority of the people of the Dragon Kingdom whose conscience has not yet been extinguished, they at least know what is beautiful and what is ugly!
Therefore, the treatment that “Zen Swordsman” received in the public opinion of the Dragon Kingdom soon revealed its stuffing in the box office competition of real swords and guns!
Although on the first day of the movie’s release, the box office was quite high.
But with the increasing negative feedback from fans, many people who may have had some expectations for this movie do not want to watch it.
Originally, those fans of director Lewandowski, the fans of the Dragon Kingdom who planned to brush two and three brushes, gradually reacted that there seemed to be something wrong with this movie, and began to hate and attack director Lewandowski!
After the release on the first day, the subsequent growth rate of the box office began to fall wildly at a rate visible to the naked eye!
Although the box office broke 200 million on the first day!
But the box office on the second day was not even 150 million, and on the third day, it fell even worse, directly falling to 50 million!
Subsequently, it is lower and lower, 20 million a day, 10 million a day.
On the average movie, this result may not be bad, but don’t forget, this is the internationally famous Lewandowski director!
Such an achievement, for him, is not even a “fail”!
If the score of the passing line is 60 points, then this box office score can only be ranked up to 30 at most! It can be described as his biggest failure since entering the film industry!
On the contrary, the box office of “Dragon Kingdom Myth” has gone all the way up at an extremely exaggerated speed!
From the box office of more than 100 million on the first day, directly sprinted to three billion, and it is still rising wildly, looking at the current trend of box office rise, breaking the 15 billion mark, there will be no problem at all!
Although this is also a bonus that eats the expensive single ticket, it can still make so many people willing to go to the cinema to watch it to such an expensive degree, and even double or triple brush.
To some extent, it can be regarded as a side reflection of how terrifying the quality of “Dragon Kingdom Myth” is!
—
Eagle Country, Hollywood
” how so?! It shouldn’t be!
“According to our original expectations, “Zen Swordsman” should be able to achieve at least 3 billion box office base in the Dragon Kingdom!”
“But if you go on this trend, maybe even one billion will not be able to break through!”
The main promoter of the movie paced back and forth anxiously, and his face was difficult to see the extreme!
Originally, when “Zen Swordsman” was first released, he was full of confidence in his heart, after all, all the movies in the Dragon Country during the same period were almost vulnerable, and Hollywood big-budget films have always been able to easily obtain more preferential treatment in the Dragon Country!
And yet….
The fact is that he gave him a big slap in the face, and he couldn’t find the northeast!
The promoter thought that the film’s eventual success might not be as great as they expected at first!
However, he never thought that he could pull his crotch to this extent!
“Director Lewandowski, you say, this is your movie!”
“If we continue like this, we may not even be able to return our roots, let alone … What cultural output too!
“We have to think of a way, it must be some conspiracy and trickery used by the people of the Dragon Kingdom to deliberately suppress our movie, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to have only this box office!” The
promoter was so anxious that his face turned red.
“It’s useless, hey.”
Compared with him, director Lewandowski’s face is extremely calm.
He sighed slowly and continued:
“Actually, before this movie went online, I had a sense of foreboding in my heart.”
“I always feel that this movie may not be able to get what we want.”
“I didn’t understand where this premonition came from and what was rising in my heart. But now, I seem to understand…” Director
Lewandowski slowly stood up and looked embarrassed:
“Don’t waste any more effort, let’s focus on the Western market for publicity, the dragon country, we can give up.”
The film was released at the same time in the Dragon Kingdom and the West.
Although the performance of this “Zen Swordsman” in the Dragon Kingdom is extremely crotch-pulling, based on the current data, I am afraid that the box office of one billion cannot be broken.
However…
In the Western market, this “Zen Swordsman” can still be played, at least it can be welcomed by many fans! Work hard, maybe there is hope.
“No, why give up now?”
“It’s not time to give up yet, can’t you hold on a little longer?! Dragon Kingdom has a population of 1.4 billion, which is a big market!
“And, don’t forget.”
“When we first made this movie, what was our original intention!”
The main promoter is unwilling.
“I said, give up.”
Director Lewandowski shook his head again and sighed: “There are some things that are not interesting to say deeply. ”
I’m leaving.”
“If you still want to insist on opening the Dragon Kingdom market, take care of yourself.”
He gave his assistant a look, and the latter quickly understood what Director Lewandowski meant, and walked out with a suitcase.
“This:
“It’s not,” Director Lewandowski, where are you going? ”
The film’s main promoter himself was confused by this scene! Didn’t you just chat, have you had a good chat? Why suddenly, it’s about to leave?
Where is this going?!
He looked at Director Lewandowski with a confused expression, waiting for the other party’s answer.
“Go to the Dragon Kingdom.”
Director Lewandowski’s answer was very concise, he said as he sorted out the last few luggage in the villa, and then walked slowly towards the gate with the assistant.
“To the Dragon Kingdom?”
The main promoter of the film was slightly stunned, and then a look of joy appeared on his face:
“Sure enough! I knew Director Lewandowski, you wouldn’t give up! You must be going to the Dragon Kingdom and use your calling power to make other viewers respond to you, right? ”
Although, in general, in movies, it is the well-known actors than the directors who are more famous.
But for a big director like director Lewandowski, it is different, his own reputation may be higher than many well-known actors, on appeal, it is absolutely undeniable!
If he can personally go to the Dragon Kingdom, he will call on his fans.
Maybe you can re-save the decline of “Zen Swordsman” and make this movie reach the peak again!
Thinking so, a joyful smile appeared on the face of the film’s main promoter!
However… This smile had just appeared on his face not long ago, and it was completely frozen on his face!
“Hehe, my old face, more or less.”
Director Lewandowski’s face showed a sneer, and he shook his head and said:
“I want to see for myself whether the new movie “Dragon Country Myth” launched by the Dragon Kingdom is as godly as the legend.”
“Zen Swordsman is over to you. Let’s go!
He waved his hand, then followed the pace of his assistant, and left his villa almost without looking back…
“I…” Looking
at the back of director Lewandowski when he left, the face of the film’s main promoter showed a puzzled expression!
“How… How so?
“How do you say go?”
He took a deep breath and tried to suppress the panic in his heart, but the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt!
“The production of “Zen Swordsman” is good, and there are no problems in terms of publicity.”
“How come …. Failed? ”
Is it really just a simple disobedience?” ”
The production of Zen Swordsman is definitely a big deal! Whether it is the cast, or the funds invested, publicity, even if it is placed in the burning treasury of Hollywood, it is a first-class level!
Whether it is costumes or live-action shooting, almost all of them have achieved the extreme, and countless well-known actors and big directors like director Lewandowski have been invited to sit down!
In order to achieve the ultimate in quality!
Because of this, the box office required for the movie to recover its cost is also extremely high!
However, what he didn’t expect was that “Zen Swordsman” not only did not achieve a big profit and cultural output as they expected, but the box office went all the way down, and he couldn’t even recover the capital!
This is a real failure!
The filmmaker scratched his head, pondered, trying to figure out the question.
However, no matter how he thought deeply about this problem, he was still confused, and after thinking for a long time, he had no clue.
On the other side, Director Lewandowski got directly into the special car, turned straight to the plane to the Dragon Kingdom, and then squinted his eyes slightly in his first-class cabin and began to rest!
“Director Lewandowski… I have a question for you, but I don’t know if it will disturb your rest…” the
assistant hesitated, but still tried to ask.
“Say.”
Director Lewandowski didn’t open his eyes, but nodded slightly.
“I still can’t figure out why the Zen Swordsman, which we have been carefully preparing for so long, failed so tragically!”
The assistant was a little reluctant:
“You said before that our movie is missing something, can I ask you?” Finally…. What’s missing? ”
What’s missing?
Director Lewandowski shook his head and suddenly smiled.
“It’s really missing something.”
“Two words are enough to summarize.”
Two words?
The assistant’s face quietly showed a trace of doubt, waiting for Director Lewandowski’s follow-up.
Director Lewandowski still had a smile on his face.
However, the smile on his face was a little bitter, and he shook his head and said:
“What is missing, it is respect…”
