When Kai said this, he didn't care that there were people around him, including several film critics who were originally very close to him, as well as the main creative staff of the show, that is, the heroine, the director and Shariz. →
It doesn't matter what the film critics are. These people are all using their pens to make a living. When they start to criticize, they are so poisonous. Kai's criticism is simply child's play. But they agree with the main idea that Kai said. This show is undoubtedly a bad movie. There is no way to wash it, unless Dibao is willing to spend money.
Otherwise, how do you think film critics can survive? Do you think that they can support their life of luxury in Hollywood by writing some film reviews for newspapers and media? Don't even think about it. In fact, film critics as a profession in Hollywood have been very perfect, and the interest chain has been established for hundreds of years. For example, when many films are released, they will pay film critics to create momentum and trick movie fans into the cinema.
Of course, the film critics invited by Dibao are all famous. Most of them care about their credibility and will not over-hype a film full of flaws. They should be criticized as they should be, otherwise how can they survive?
But the main creators are different, their faces are green.
Especially the heroine and the director... It was really wonderful. Everyone is a decent person. Even if they criticize, they will be criticized in newspapers and media. How can they criticize publicly in front of others?
Among them, the heroine Christine was particularly hurt.
She became famous for acting in idol movies, which is said to be adapted from a very popular novel. In short, after several consecutive idol dramas, she is very popular, but she is still regarded as a vase by mainstream movies. This time she participated in this blockbuster, thinking that she could rely on this to turn over, get positive reviews, and open up the road of acting.
In Hollywood, it is very difficult for idols to transform. Look at Leo, because of the stunning beauty of Titanic, he has not been accepted by mainstream movies for so many years, and people still don't think he has acting skills. Now, Leo keeps accepting those profound movies, but he still runs as a runner-up.
Kristen felt that she had tried very hard this time, but she was criticized by an outsider. She felt humiliated.
If it weren't for the politeness, she wanted to throw the champagne in her glass on the guy's face.
But some people couldn't hold back.
"Sir, I think you are completely wrong. Kristen played blah blah, this movie blah blah, what I want to express is blah blah, and then blah blah..."
This person is the director. Unfortunately, Kai is like most movie fans. Isn't watching a movie just to see the stars? Who cares about the director? After all, he never reads the subtitles after the movie.
"Who is this idiot?" Kai looked at Tony with a look of astonishment. "Did he get paid by the director? So desperate to help speak?"
There was silence at the scene. Really, who would not go back to learn about the director if they came to the premiere? Besides, there was an interview with the main creators at the beginning of the movie, and the main creators all stood on the stage and talked! The host has introduced him, but after such a short while, he has forgotten that he is a director? Too fast, right?
But Kai doesn't care about this at all. He is here to watch a movie. Who wants to listen to the experience of making a movie? Aren't those things all fake?
The director's face turned green. Even if he is not a star, he won't be so invisible, right?
"What are you doing in the interview before the movie starts?" Tony asked with a strange look on his face.
"Playing with my phone." Kai said confidently.
"Oh, no wonder." Tony said helplessly: "He is the director..."
"Huh?" Kai looked at Tony. 、
Tony nodded, indicating that he did not lie.
"Oh, no wonder." Kai nodded, not embarrassed at all. After all, he has said it, can he swallow it back? Besides, he probably will only meet this director once in his life. If he offends him, he offends him. What can he do? Bite him? Believe it or not, a pair of silver bracelets will be served immediately?
Kai patted the director on the shoulder: "Dude, change your career, you're not suitable for this. Really."
He said it very sincerely.
The director quit.
This guy threw a tantrum on the spot. After all, today was his most proud moment. He was an unknown MVGG director, but he rose to fame overnight and was valued by Tony and Dibao. This was definitely a perfect template for the protagonist! Kai couldn't tolerate such a face-slapping behavior.
Unfortunately, just as he started to throw a tantrum, Tony told him with a sullen face that this was his friend and he should be polite.
The people on Dibao's side also came over to persuade the director immediately. After all, the director was out of control at the premiere. If this got out, the box office would be gone.
"What's wrong with people nowadays? They dare to adapt a movie without even seeing Snow White? Are they so impetuous?" Kai was not very angry about the guy's tantrum. In fact, Kai didn't think he was really right about this matter. After all, it was very impolite. But he still had to take advantage of the mouth.
The director was irritated.
Tony didn't care about the director. He would meet at least one of them every day. He was willing to give him a chance just because he was in a good mood. As for the director's talent...if he knew this, he wouldn't always fail.
"You said this movie is really bad?" Tony thought it was pretty good. It had all the elements and the visuals were great.
"The plot is thin, I want to talk about it, but I can't. The script is rubbish, and the female lead's acting is terrible. Except for her expressionless face, I almost forgot that the protagonist of this movie is Snow White... What do you think of this movie?" Kai despised Tony's aesthetics. →
In fact, Tony's aesthetics have always been bad. Including his mecha, which is too fancy in Kai's opinion.
Black is so good!
Mysterious, grand, and classy.
Like Tony... rich gold plus sexy red... It's amazing. The same color scheme as a mobile phone.
"Okay..." Tony still believes in Kai, because he knows that Kai doesn't bother to lie to him.
However, Tony has a good mentality. Anyway, he has plenty of money, and he doesn't feel bad even if he loses a hundred movies. Since he knows that this movie is going to flop, he will naturally not bother about it. If it can save his face, he will naturally be willing to take advantage of the popularity. After all, this is a comeback work, but since it flopped, there is no need to waste energy.

"By the way, I'm going to Morocco to participate in the F1 Formula next week. Can you come with me?"
"What for?" Kai is not interested in watching others show off.
"That's boring." Apart from the trivial things between Pepper and Kai, Tony actually likes to stay with Kai. There is no worry. Others don't covet anything from him, and there is no need to curry favor with him. They get along naturally. He likes this feeling. "What's so good about being a policeman? You don't even have time to relax."
"I'm happy to do that!" Kai said without hesitation: "What about you? Do you think it's fun to wear a broken tin can and show off everywhere?"
"Please! I'm a superhero! Listen carefully, a superhero!!!"
"Yes, yes, it's a children's comic, I know. You should be glad that you are a super rich man, otherwise, you would have been arrested by me and thrown into prison to pick up soap." Kai said here, and felt that he still had to remind this kid: "To be honest, you should take it easy. The wolves in the government will not tolerate your arrogance forever."
"Humph! Those termites can only shout a few times in the sewer, and they can't make any waves."
Tony was very disdainful.
Of course, this was just because he didn't want to show his weakness in front of Kai. His troubles were not small at all!
Because he had been targeted by two major interest groups in the country.
One is the Pentagon. The other is the energy group.
The Pentagon and the military here are two different things.
Everyone in the Pentagon is a "Mr.", while everyone in the military is a "General." One is a civilian politician, and the other is a soldier. There is a big difference between the two.
In the Pentagon's view, the epoch-making weapon and manufacturing method of the Iron Man suit should be controlled, at least not in the hands of a private person like Tony. Because the Iron Man suit was independently developed by Tony, he owns all the patents, which is different from the Stark Group. Moreover, the emergence of this weapon has greatly threatened the status of traditional military industry, so many people hope to force Tony Stark to give up the patent rights of the Iron Man suit through the Pentagon.
However, this is difficult, after all, the Constitution is there. Private property is sacred and inviolable. And the United States has not legislated on the Iron Man suit, so who can say that thing is a weapon? Tony said it is an auxiliary sports equipment for the disabled.
As long as it is not equipped with weapons, it is fine. Just like in the Lord of War, it is illegal to use an armed helicopter, but it is not illegal to separate the helicopter from the rockets and machine guns installed on the helicopter.
Therefore, the major arms manufacturers want Tony to sell the patent or license the patent. Even if it costs a little more money, it's fine.
The military actually supports this point, but the support is not strong. The reason is simple. The Iron Man suit is powerful, but so what? Because the US military's equipment level is now the best in the world, and there is no enemy at all. Besides, if the Iron Man suit is purchased, other weapons will have to retire.
If these weapons are retired, should the subsequent purchases be carried out? If not, what about the military expenditure? The government is already cutting military expenditure. If it continues like this, the military expenditure will be even less. That's money!
So the military's desire for the Iron Man suit is very Buddhist. It's good to have it, and it's better not to have it.
This is also the difference between the Pentagon and the military. After all, the interests of the two are not completely overlapping. The interests of civilians and soldiers will never be consistent. After all, one of the responsibilities of the Pentagon is to control the military.
And the hatred of another group for Stark is more naked.
Energy Group!
First of all, when people talk about the United States being controlled by interest groups, the most common thing they say is the military-industrial complex, saying that they manipulate the United States to start wars.
But in fact, the military-industrial complex is more wronged. Of course, they hope that the US military will fight because they can make money from fighting. But this is after the war has started, so who caused the war?
The answer is energy groups and financial groups.
What is said here is relatively general, after all, the author is not specialized in this.
In a word, the United States relies on two things to dominate the world. One is naturally military force, which is beyond doubt. The second is petrodollars.
In today's world, oil transactions are all settled in US dollars. In fact, not only oil, but any large transactions are settled in US dollars. This allows the United States to draw blood from countries around the world and feed back to itself.
But petrodollars are definitely the top priority.
But now this corner seems to be loose.
Energy industry, although there are also categories such as solar energy and wind energy, these energy sources are small, can not shake the status of oil, but the problem is that Stark's reactor is different, the real clean energy, the key is high efficiency and stability! Much stronger than oil, and much cheaper.
At this stage, Stark Group has intervened in the US power grid market, their new energy companies have begun to generate electricity to seize the market, and the price is very cheap, killing the traditional energy group retreating.
I believe that in the near future, Stark New Energy Group's market share will soar. Although it really reaches a certain level, the government will definitely initiate monopoly lawsuits, but who knows how many years it will take, as long as Stark Group's public relations is good, this process can be postponed for 40 to 50 years.
Yes, monopoly lawsuits can also be public relations. This is America!
In short, these people have a simple idea, either Stark destroys the reactor, or they control it.
Unfortunately, they are facing Stark!
He also has the support of a group of interest groups behind him.
This is very American.
In short, they also joined in threatening Stark.
Stark's troubles will not be small.
In fact, Congress has already discussed this, and it is estimated that a hearing will be held soon.
Stark went to Morocco at this time to relax and then join another battlefield.
"Anyway, be careful." Kai shrugged. He had little communication with the upper class of America and could not help him. "I can't help you if you get into trouble this time."
"Look down on me? Who am I?" Stark shrugged at Kai very arrogantly: "I am Iron Man!"
"Just be happy."
...
The premiere is not just about watching a movie. In fact, it is more like a social occasion. Especially the cocktail party afterwards.
The scene of Kai and Tony chatting happily in the corner was naturally seen by many people.
In fact, Christine is one of them.
Originally, this masculine-looking actress had a very bad impression of Kai. After all, Kai was not a familiar face, which meant that he was not in the circle. Since he was not in the circle, Christine naturally did not need to care too much.
But now it seems that other people's circles are much more high-end.
Who is Stark?
The richest man in the world today, and he is also Iron Man!
This kind of status is not something that a small star like her can compare to.
So what is the level of the person who can be friends with Stark?
The United States does not care about class, but it cares about identity!
What American imperialism likes to play the most is identity politics!
