Chapter 851 Eat Melon

Reflection monsters are the most disliked!

After the end of World War II, the Jewish philosopher Hannah Arendt believed that during the Holocaust, although the executioner was Na Cui Germany and Na Cui Germany's crimes were heinous, was there nothing worth reflecting on for the Jews in this process?

Because of these views, Arendt was ridiculed as a Jew who hated his own people.

The Anti-Defamation League sent out letters urging rabbis to denounce her on Yom Kippur.

Jewish groups paid researchers to pore over errors in her book.

Some of her closest friends never spoke to her again for years, or even their entire lives.

Reflection monsters never have a sense of boundaries and always use the banner of the group to label and convict unrelated people.

Although the unrelated people have only a half-divided relationship with the actual person responsible, if you reflect on it, you have to ask, don’t you have even the slightest bit of responsibility?

When we call for reflection, the reflection monsters and the group belong to us. When we distinguish responsibilities, the group belongs to you and has nothing to do with the reflection monsters.

As a human saying goes: some people never reflect on themselves, they only let others reflect.

These media are just...

You said you're not a movie maker, so why are you reflecting?

Well, it’s a reflection on making movies!

At least people didn’t explicitly say, ‘Oh, God, how could I be born into a nation that takes jujube pills? ’ ‘Oh, God, look at those rubes, how can they understand the greatness of free America? ’

Ahem, Shen Xudong directly posted on Weibo: "Let's talk about movies"

‘In the Chinese film industry, some people fail and some succeed. This is a normal situation on the road of exploring the commercialization of domestic films! I know what you are discussing, but let me tell you, I am the expert! I am the one who makes the movie with my own hands! ’

"If someone succeeds, you will advocate desperately; if someone fails, you will launch a large-scale reflection! But in fact? Is anything in this world absolute? Oh, it won't work for big directors to increase investment and stars. So what do you think we can do? To completely deny a path because of a few failed examples, is this a serious and responsible attitude towards discussion?"

"Talk about the gap between Chinese and American movies... Nonsense, there must be a gap. They made "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 1968 and "Alien" in 1979..."

"Our generation has caught up with an era: in 1998, many families in the county bought a VCD machine to watch "Titanic."

Foreign films of the same period include "The Shawshank Redemption", "Forrest Gump", "The Truman Show", "Life Is Beautiful", "Jurassic Park", "Mission: Impossible"...

It can be said that this generation of movie fans in China grew up watching these movies. Not many films are introduced in a year, and they are basically all high-quality films. It cannot be said that they are completely different from domestic films, but at least they have obvious advantages. "

"The same goes for Hollywood blockbusters. They are called blockbusters because, on the one hand, the cost of making a movie is indeed much higher than that of domestic films, and on the other hand, the effects presented are indeed very shocking and gorgeous. So, do Chinese movies have no chance at all?"

"First of all, I think the audience is not stupid, they can see it, and good things will naturally buy it, whether domestic or Hollywood! Even if they can't see it for the time being, everyone will understand it in the future."

"The advantage of domestic films is that the narrative can create strong empathy for the audience. Coupled with the aesthetic and cultural background that is more in line with our understanding, it is not difficult to produce high-quality films... I have always had full confidence in domestic filmmakers!"

…

The Internet is developing at a rapid pace. All messages can be spread all over the Internet within an hour or two. The efficiency and speed of message transmission are so fast that you can't react!

It is no longer comparable to the era a few years ago.

Shen Xudong posted on Weibo to criticize a bunch of media, and then...

He was scolded!

The main reason is that "Avengers" is so awesome and has a very good reputation - 110 million in the first two days and a total box office of 568 million.

In other words, total box office = first week box office × 5.

You must know that generally speaking, total box office = first week box office × 3. It is already a commercial film with a pretty good reputation. "Avengers" directly × 5...

What is this called?

A masterpiece!

Of course, the most important reason for Shen Xudong's Weibo post is not quite right - "Why Sheng Xiao Mo"...

Let’s not talk about the plot of this movie, but the key advertising placement is crazy: in the opening scene, Chung Han-liang plays He Yichen, who walks into his 300-square-meter apartment, throws a GUCCI leather bag worth 50,000 yuan on the sofa, and opens four The Siemens luxury refrigerator opens the door, and what the audience sees is: Master Kong jasmine tea, Master Kong jasmine honey tea...

No way, Siemens paid 1 million for a close-up shot, Master Kong Jasmine Green Tea and Jasmine Honey Tea gave more: 3 million, and Tang Yan is also the spokesperson. As for the GUCCI leather bag, it is a brand cooperation...

It affects the perception too much!

Many people gave negative reviews directly because of the advertising placement.

Shen Xudong actually thinks there is a problem with the media talking about the 'gap between Chinese and American films' because of "Why is the Shengxiao Silent"?

Are you being too pretentious?

So a lot of people scolded him...

It's quite embarrassing.

Bad timing!

Just like in 1994, you would never have imagined that Hong Kong movies would decline so quickly!

Just like you said in 2019 that Korean movies are not good, you must know that "Parasite" won the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 2019 and the Oscar the following year...

But in fact, "Parasite" can be regarded as a watershed for Korean movies. On the surface, the movie is about content, but in essence it is the market.

You can say that in 2020, because of the epidemic in the country, the market is not that big.

In 2021, the top 108 films at the Korean box office will be overseas films.

Of the 100 local movies released in South Korea in 2022, only eight made a profit.

Since 2023, except for one "Crime City 3", all the local movies released in South Korea have not passed the profit and loss point, which means that they all have lost money!

The reason is simple. Korean movies are essentially no different from American movies.

After "Parasite", the Korean film market began to drift, and restrictions on the introduction of overseas films were gradually relaxed. Local blockbusters also began to gradually become European and American, integrating themselves into the so-called American consciousness.

Especially for Netflix…

Just use Netflix as a channel to enter the United States!

What did Netflix do?

All the up-and-down links are owned by themselves, and those who get the money are just actors and directors, and they do not leave any piece of the media distribution network for the country concerned.

You must know that Disney also filmed "The Last Warrior" in Russia;

Warners could help distribute The Invisible Guest and The Mirage in Spain;

Warner also contributed to the production of live-action versions of the "Rurouni Kenshin" series in Japan...

These films are all distributed through local channels in various countries!

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for European countries to impose mandatory orders on Netflix to release a certain number of European local movies every year - they are all foxes with thousands of years of history, who doesn't know how to watch Chinese dramas?

What about South Korea?

Then, the local market collapsed completely - if the local market in Korea failed, there would be no so-called Korean movies.

Ahem...

Bringing it back, Shen Xudong simply shut up. Fortunately, netizens didn't mean to target him.

It's not that Shen Xudong has good character and netizens have let him go, but... the Sword Sword Cult incident broke out!

…

In the eyes of Shen Xudong, the Sword-inserting Sect is really just a melon...

This thing is incomparable with the stars of later generations - the stars of later generations don't do this at all. They all engage in surrogacy, prostitution, tax evasion, D-laundering and other illegal behaviors...

In comparison, inserting a knife is nothing!

It's just adding insult to injury, but this stone has not been confirmed.

What makes people speechless is that Yang Zi, after getting the video, first released a screenshot of Xiaoxiao's advantage...

Then you still want to apologize to Yin Xiaotian?

Finally, the complete video was released...

There is obviously a video and the whole truth is known, but why is it not released? What is the purpose of deliberately confusing right and wrong, leading celebrities in the industry to "rip each other apart", and leading the whole people to tear up Xiaotian's handprints?

Like a neurosis...

After this incident, Yin Xiaotian's resources plummeted. It's normal. The entertainment industry is so big and it's basically full of connections. It might be easier to offend just one person. Ke Yin Xiaotian's "Knife Insertion Cult" incident has indeed offended a large number of people. The people who eat melons will never imagine how many invisible connections are standing behind these people.

Just like Liu Yan had no good resources after attending the wedding of Bao Dabal, it is too simple for a group of people to unite to boycott one person, just spread a few words and it will be OK.

However, this incident reminded Shen Xudong that Yin Xiaotian can be signed...

How can I put it, the people are very kind-hearted and are happy to see that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished with evil. At this time, Yin Xiaotian is given a good work, and the popularity will come immediately.

Shen Xudong happens to have a pretty good script!

I have to work hard...
