Chapter 496 I, Mu Chen, Never Return Virtue With Kindness

At the Golden Dragon Awards Ceremony, Scorsese again criticized Mu Chen's superhero movie, igniting the topic.

And his words also aroused the dissatisfaction of Chinese movie fans and superhero movie fans.

As for his similar provocative words, they naturally aroused great heated discussions.

Scorsese is a top director in Hollywood, has won an Oscar for best director, and has filmed several movies that are regarded as classics by movie fans.

But Mu Chen is not weak.

As a Chinese filmmaker, he has won the Oscar for Best Director more than once. If other Oscars are counted, he is still the filmmaker who has won the most Oscars.

In recent years, Mu Chen's movies rarely won awards, but the box office was extremely astonishing.Everyone can see that it's not that Mu Chen can't make award-winning movies, it's just that they are more commercial.

If Mu Chen really made an award-winning film, it might not be impossible for him to do so.

Of course, just not necessarily.

Although Mu Chen is powerful, it's not enough to make people think that he can win the prize if he wants to.

There are no such powerful people in this world.

After Mu Chen responded in an interview with media reporters after the awards ceremony, he ignored the matter.

He's packing up and heading to Hollywood.

Scorsese, on the other hand, is less dashing.

As soon as he returned to the hotel, he had an argument with the producer.

"Do you still want Huaxia Market?"

"Do you know how influential Mu Chen is in China?"

"Do you know how much damage you caused by saying that?"

The producer's roar echoed in Scorsese's ears, but he still didn't care.

With the topic together, the popularity has soared, and it has aroused the curiosity of countless people.

Curiosity can make movie fans walk into the theater.

As for the resistance from Mu Chen's fans, it was just verbal.

Besides, how many fans does Mu Chen have?Could it be that Huaxia movie fans are all fans of Mu Chen?

Then wouldn't he be against the sky.

Huaxia shouted to resist, but his body was very honest.

Does this kind of thing happen less often?
Isn't there a joke about a Chinese man holding a Japanese-made loudspeaker in the street and passionately calling for a boycott of Japanese products?
How well a movie does at the box office ultimately depends on the movie itself.

Could it be that just because I expressed my opinion at the awards ceremony, Huaxia movie fans really stopped watching it.

What's more, doesn't the issuer know how to guide public opinion?
I, Scorsese, dare to say this, don’t Chinese movie fans want to see if I have the qualifications?

Are you qualified? If you have seen your own movie, you will know?
Domestic issuers have indeed done so, but unfortunately the effect is minimal.

Scorsese obviously misjudged Mu Chen's influence, and also misjudged the instigating ability of Mu Chen's fans.

In other words, he misjudged the charm of his films.

Nowadays, with the rise of Chinese-language films, Hollywood is no longer as irreplaceable in the Chinese market as it used to be.

The influence of Hollywood movies in the Chinese market has long since declined.

If you are irreplaceable, then you can be willful.

But you are not irreplaceable, then you have to pay for your willfulness!
There is no shortage of blockbusters in Chinese-language movies.

"Dawn" was released simultaneously worldwide, because the schedule was not that good, and there were no strong competitors.Regardless of whether it is China or North America, the film schedule is still good.

However, this film may be a literary one. The performances in the awards are good, but it is a bit less commercial and has a good reputation, but it is not very popular with fans, and the box office is not very good.

On the first day of its release in North America, it was only nearly 2000 million US dollars, and it didn't even win the single-day box office champion.

As for Huaxia, the second largest film market, it was even more appalling, and the attendance rate was appallingly low.

The box office on the first day was only a few million Chinese dollars!
Yes, not US dollars, but Chinese coins.

Equivalent to US dollars, less than 100 million.

The film was ranked in the top three, but the box office on the first day almost fell out of the top ten.

how so?

In the eyes of many people, it was undoubtedly the reason why Mu Chen's fans resisted.

Now that the potential of the Chinese film market is exploding, it is undoubtedly extremely rare for such a film to have a box office of less than [-] million on the first day.

Mu Chen's fan resistance may have played a key role, but there may be a reason why Hollywood movies are not as attractive to Chinese fans as before.

"Dawn" created the record for the lowest box office premiere of a Hollywood film in China this time.

I'm afraid not just the lowest first-day box office record, but I'm afraid the total is as well.

Fans as cruel as Mu Chen, after learning that "Dawn" has a box office of several million, have already cursed on the Internet.Its ferocity will definitely scare off countless movie fans.

There is no way, countless fans threatened to go to the theater to guard each other, arresting each other and scolding each other.

This may be just talk, but someone is sure to be affected.

Besides, people have a herd mentality.

Everyone is shouting to boycott, you go to see it, you are a little out of group!
Huaxia's box office on the first day undoubtedly slapped Scorsese in the face.

The incident was subsequently exposed and attracted media coverage around the world.

It also shocked countless filmmakers.

The Scorsese Golden Dragon Awards slammed Mu Chen, but was boycotted by Mu Chen's fans, and the movie hit the street.

Mu Chen's influence in China once again attracted the attention of Hollywood.

In other words, it has attracted the attention of filmmakers around the world.

It is unimaginable that the box office on the first day was only a few million.

But when the box office came out the next day, everyone was stunned.

More than 100 million Chinese coins!

Although the first day's box office was miserable, and the number of films dropped sharply, it was not only over 100 million!

After the sharp drop in film schedule, the attendance rate is still very low!
This is the trend of drawing pictures within two days of the release!
"Dawn" was the film that won the Golden Dragon Awards for Best Director and Best Foreign Language Film, and it was a Hollywood film, not an unknown film.

This box office is a bit horrible!

Even films from France, India, and even some Middle Eastern countries, as long as they show up at the Golden Dragon Awards, the box office will be many times higher than this film's box office.

The total box office is hard to break 1000 million?

China's low-budget bad movies are all higher than this box office!
The film "Dawn" has an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars!
Thinking hard!
Mu Chen's fans are really cruel.

The last time a domestic blockbuster fell under their resistance.

This time it turned out to be a Hollywood movie.

And the director is a top Hollywood director.

Great my brother!

Mu Chen's fans ran with joy and excitement.

They feel that they are invincible.

Two boycotts, two successes, and the results are more amazing each time.

What's more, there is no Chenxi Film and Television film to snipe "Dawn" this time!

Who dares to underestimate us?
Mu Chen's fans became famous all over the world.

Let people all over the world know how great our Mu Chen fans are.

Mu Chen's fans were a little flustered.

Scorsese regretted it at the beginning, but he also knew that even if he apologized, it was too late.

How could a director have such an influence?
How can it be!

Hey, the bitter fruit that I planted, I have to swallow it with tears.

"It really has nothing to do with me."

Mu Chenren was already in Hollywood, but he couldn't escape the pursuit of media reporters.

"I've never said anything about boycotting. Even Chenxi Films didn't have any movie to snipe that movie." Mu Chen said, "As for fans boycotting, maybe it's because of other reasons!"

"The low box office may not be the reason for the boycott. It may be a problem with the film itself." Mu Chen said, "Although awards and box office are not in conflict, it is not easy to have both."

"Director Scorsese is an excellent director, and I like many of his works." Mu Chen said, ""Dawn" won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Foreign Language, and Director Scorsese also won the Golden Dragon Award for this film. Award for Best Director. This film is naturally a good film. I haven’t seen this film. As for why the box office is not satisfactory, maybe there are a few commercial elements! If you don’t like the film, no matter how good the film is, it’s useless.”

How do you know if you don't like it?
Mu Chen did not support this film, nor would he support this film.

Some media reporters obviously wanted to lure Mu Chen to this direction.

But who Mu Chen is, how can he not see it.

For his temper, he didn't let Chenxi Films or Dream Films attack the film, and he didn't call on the fans to boycott.

If you want him to support this film in order to promote its box office, don't even think about it.

Mu Chen has never been the one to repay kindness with kindness.

"Scorsese's "Dawn" failed miserably at the box office in China, so that Dream Films received goodwill from other Hollywood film and television companies. Well, to be precise, the goodwill is for you." Harvey said to Mu Chen with a smile .

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

The other film and television companies expressed their "goodwill" and were naturally surprised by Mu Chen's influence in the Chinese film market.

Once was a coincidence, what about twice?

Last time, "White Snake" was boycotted by Mu Chen's fans, which caused a lot of losses to the Fukdo Group, and was eventually kicked out of Huaxia.

This time, "Dawn" was boycotted by Mu Chen's fans, and the Chinese box office of less than [-] million Chinese dollars hit the hearts of many investors.

Although the Chinese film market is still the second largest film market in the world, it is close to the North American film market.

Many Hollywood blockbusters did not perform well at the box office in North America, but they recovered their costs by relying on the Chinese film market, and even made a lot of money.

With the Chinese film market being more and more valued by Hollywood filmmakers, it would be strange for Mu Chen to show such influence that those film and television companies would not express their goodwill.

In fact, it is not so much goodwill as cooperation intention.

Mu Chen has such an astonishing influence in the Huaxia market, and if he cooperates with him, the Huaxia market will undoubtedly be more secure.

"'Dawn' doesn't seem to be doing well at the box office in North America." Mu Chen shook his head and smiled, and said, "Actually, the fact that this movie hit the box office in China doesn't really have much to do with me."

"Yes, it has nothing to do with you, Scorsese is looking for death." Harvey smiled and said.

Mu Chen rolled his eyes directly, this guy obviously thinks that "Dawn" failed so badly at the box office in China that he did something.

Mu Chen felt that he was wronged, but he really did nothing.

However, he was too lazy to explain, and there was no need to explain.

Some misunderstandings are not necessarily bad things.
