China Entertainment’s Born Protagonist

Chapter 423 Controversy
After hearing the good news that Tianlu won the Palme d'Or, netizens and fans from all walks of life sent congratulatory messages one after another.

"Congratulations to Tianlu and Zhang Nanyi. I had a hunch before that Tianlu would win the Palme d'Or. After all, Zhang Nanyi is good at creating miracles."

"Mr. Zhang is really awesome. He is worthy of being the man standing behind the actress, who can turn decay into magic.

Gao Yuanyuan's vase acting skills were trained by Zhang Nanyi and she became a double Best Actress at the Tokyo International Film Festival and the Huabiao Award.Liu Yifei's acting skills are also relatively average, but Zhang Nanyi directly made her the best actress in Cannes. "

"Zhang Nanyi is not trying to praise people, he really enhanced the acting skills of these beauties. Gao Yuanyuan's acting skills in "Space Traveler", there is no problem in winning the Best Actress. Although I haven't watched "The Road to Heaven" yet, teacher Li Jianjian is very impressed. Liu Yifei's evaluation is very high, and Liu Yifei's performance must be very good."

"Liu Yifei's acceptance speech fully illustrates Zhang Nanyi's awesomeness. Just because Liu Yifei didn't get the Golden Eagle Award, she boasted that she would become the Best Actress at Cannes. The key is that Zhang Nanyi really did it. Damn it, let him pretend!"

"Haha, this wave of Golden Eagle Award wins is crazy. Many people abroad are asking how good the Golden Eagle Award is. Even the best actress in Cannes couldn't win the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress."

"I suggest that the Golden Eagle Awards should not give any awards to Zhang Nanyi's women in the future, so that Zhang Nanyi will win more awards internationally for them."

"You are really the king of ideas upstairs. The reason why the story is legendary is that it cannot be copied. Liu Yifei's experience of becoming the best actress in Cannes cannot be imitated by others in the future."

"Cheng Kaige has nothing to say now. Zhang Nanyi also won the Palme d'Or, and he is also the Best Actor at Cannes."

"I discovered that Zhang Nanyi is very good at picking up girls. He always does what she likes.

Liu Yifei’s dream was to be an actress, so he helped Liu Yifei become the best actress in Cannes. Gao Yuanyuan wanted to get rid of her reputation as a flower vase, so he helped Gao Yuanyuan become the Tokyo Best Actress. Yu Feihong wanted to be a director. Zhang Nanyi not only helped her win awards in China, They also went to Cannes to win the Palme d'Or, as well as Shu Chang, Yang Rui, He Qing, etc., all of which helped them realize their own life value.

If I were a woman, I would fall into trouble if I met a man like Zhang Nanyi who understands me. "

"Brother, you are looking at the sky from a well. Zhang Nanyi looks like that. Does he need to pick up girls? You are not a handsome guy. I don't know how proactive a beautiful girl will be when meeting a handsome guy. Have you ever met a woman who can get drunk with a glass of orange juice? "

"I am a woman, and I have to say that this is indeed the case. When I met Zhang Nanyi, I couldn't walk for a while.

This also shows that Zhang Nanyi respects every confidante. He does not belittle them because of his high status. Instead, he takes the initiative to help them realize their self-worth.

From this point of view, I think Zhang Nanyi is a perfect good man and worthy of being the man of my dreams. "

"Beauty, do you want to go see Tianlu together? I bought two movie tickets."

"Brothers, I'm going to rush ahead, take a sneak peek at the Palme d'Or blockbuster!"

The news that Tianlu won the Palme d'Or and that Zhang Nanyi defeated Pitt and won the Best Actor at Cannes immediately attracted wide attention to Tianlu and set off Tianlu's box office.

Because of the name of Palme d'Or, everyone paid for tickets and went to the cinema to watch movies.

On May 5, the box office of The Road to Heaven reached an astonishing 29 million on its first day of release, breaking the single-day box office record of 2800 million set by Rescue.

On May 5, the box office continued to be strong, with still 30 million.

After two days of release, the total box office was 5500 million. For a literary film, with this box office result, it can be said to be an explosion.

Just since May 5, there have been more and more comments on the Internet about the unsightly sky.

To a certain extent, Zhang Nanyi shot himself in the foot.

Because Xiaonei.com has developed so well now that it has actually played the role of WeChat Moments, the reputation of the movie has been spread relatively quickly.

It’s hard to see the phenomenon of The Promise that happened in the previous life. It’s obviously a bad movie, but people don’t know that there are still many people going to see it.

Because of Tianlu's doubts, the box office performance began to decline. By May 5, the box office was only 31 million, a direct drop of 1800 million.

Also on this day, Zhang Nanyi ended her celebration and vacation in Cannes, and Liu Yifei reluctantly returned to the United States.

The crew of Tianlu returned to China with great honors and received a welcome meeting organized by the Film Association at the airport.

This is an official celebration, and Zhang Nanyi and the Tianlu crew cannot refuse. They can only cooperate and accept the garlands and flowers presented by the children, as well as all kinds of compliments from the people around them.

The official reception for the Tianlu crew returning to China was very grand, and a lot of related reports were published.

But this time netizens didn’t quite buy it.

"To be honest, I was a little disappointed with the movie Tianlu. The pictures were very beautiful. The scenery of Xi Zang is very good and shocking. Liu Yifei is indeed a fairy sister. She is otherworldly beautiful. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway is indeed great, but the movie It’s really not that good either.

The sparse plot made me dizzy and baffled. "

"Out of ten, I would give Tianlu a 6. The passing score is based on the appearance of the male and female protagonists in the movie. There is nothing to say about the plot. It feels too confusing. The story is here and there, and it has a lot of flavor. The feeling of being mysterious.”

"After Zhang Yimou won the award, the plot of the movie became weaker and weaker, and Cheng Kaige no longer knew how to tell stories. Is Zhang Nanyi going to follow in the footsteps of these two great directors?"

"The Road to Heaven is the same as Hero. It's not a bad movie, but it's not much better. Maybe foreigners like this kind of picture, so they won the Palme d'Or. But in the final analysis, the movie still has to tell a story. The Road to Heaven has no story. Maybe It’s just the protagonist’s imagination before he dies.”

"The plot is really outrageous. The protagonist turned into a vulture and participated in a religious ceremony hundreds of years ago. When I saw this part, I was completely confused."

"I went to the cinema excitedly, but came back disappointed. I can only say that Zhang Nanyi's screenwriting ability has failed this time. Perhaps he gave up his expertise for the Cannes Palme d'Or."

Even to people who don't understand the movie, the quality of "The Road to Heaven" is not particularly bad, but everyone's expectations were too high.

Many people go to see a movie for the Palme d'Or, expecting a score of 9 or above, but the movie they see only scores about 6, so there is naturally a gap.

This psychological gap will lead to negative reviews.

Everyone was originally dissatisfied with the quality of Tianlu, and the official reception and publicity with such great fanfare aroused some people's rebellious sentiments.

"The Palme d'Or is a great honor, but it's also too grand. The relevant leaders personally went to the airport to pick up the Tianlu crew and celebrate their victory. Even Olympic champions don't get this kind of treatment, right?"

"Honor does not equal quality. I can only say that the movie Tianlu is not worthy of such high treatment."

"I appreciate Zhang Nanyi's ability, but objectively speaking, the road this time is not good-looking. I advise him not to be so high-profile to avoid scolding."

Of course, there are many people on the Internet who support the movie Tianlu. These people are either die-hard fans of Zhang Nanyi or people who understand the movie.

It's just that many neutral passers-by who have watched the movie this time have negative reviews. In addition, some opponents are fishing in troubled waters in it, so the voices supporting Zhang Nanyi are not that loud.

After Zhang Nanyi returned home, he also noticed everyone's critical comments.

Although there are those who fish in troubled waters in these criticisms, most passers-by still base their opinions on their own feelings about watching the movie. Their remarks are not excessive, and Zhang Nanyi cannot criticize them.So Zhang Nanyi posted a message on the school website.

"I'm very happy to win the Cannes Palme d'Or this time, but I still have to remind everyone that The Road to Heaven is essentially a literary film, and it's not that satisfying to watch.

This is a movie that requires everyone to calm down and savor it carefully.

If you are an audience member who doesn’t like literary films, I suggest you wait for a while, there will be surprises waiting for you in the future. "

Zhang Nanyi's mood is to remind everyone that if you don't like literary films, don't go to the cinema to waste money and time, just wait for the surprise later.

He could only give a subtle reminder, but could not explicitly advise everyone not to go to the cinema.

The movie Tianlu also has investors such as Liu Daqing. These investors want to make money, and it also involves the interests of the theater chain.

Zhang Nanyi reminded that this was already the limit. As a rich man, he dared to say this because he didn't care about the profits.

After he expressed this sentiment, he stopped paying attention to online public opinions.

Because Li Fuzhen came to the door.

After five months of preparation and research and development, all aspects of the Kirin mobile phone are on the right track. Zhang Nanyi knows best about the development of hardware and software functions for smartphones. He must go to a mobile phone company to stay for a period of time to put these concepts into practice. , tell it to Li Fuzhen and the core team.

The general direction of mobile phone research and development needs to be determined by Zhang Nanyi.

So he plunged into the mobile phone company and ignored the public opinion outside.

Unexpectedly, this sentiment of his was criticized by others.

On June 6st, on the Xinlang portal website, an author with the pseudonym "One Point to the Point" published an article titled: "Zhang Nanyi finally became Cheng Kaige."

In the article, Zhang Nanyi’s mood was analyzed repeatedly.

"Zhang Nanyi said that "The Road to Heaven" is not that satisfying, but he is actually telling everyone that "The Road to Heaven" is not a good movie.

He himself knew this, but he was reluctant to part with the box office profits and was afraid that Tianlu would affect his reputation, so he expressed this sentiment hypocritically, which reflected his entangled mentality of being both responsible and independent.

He also said that The Road to Heaven is a movie that requires the audience to savor it carefully, which is actually a satire on the audience's lack of taste.

Audiences who criticize Pilgrim are people who cannot understand the movie.

How is this behavior different from Cheng Kaige complaining that the audience couldn't understand Wuji after filming Wuji?
In other words, Zhang Nanyi is not as good as Cheng Kaige. Cheng Kaige is at least outspoken and says whatever comes to mind.

Unlike Zhang Nanyi, who is a top student, has a deep knowledge of the city, and speaks secretly.

The person who didn't know what was going on was ridiculed by Zhang Nanyi, and even helped him count the money and applauded him. "

After this article came out, riding on the wave of Tianlu's reputation collapse, it immediately attracted a lot of people's attention, and many people agreed with the author's point of view.

In the comment area, many people left messages, and the most popular comment was from a netizen named "Have you eaten today?"

He said: “The dragon slayer becomes the evil dragon.

Zhang Nanyi was born in a rural area. He has endured hardships in the past and can still empathize with ordinary people. His works can draw strength from ordinary life, so he is loved by everyone.

Now he is a billionaire, lying on the mountain of gold and silver every day, living a luxurious life with no worries about food and drink, surrounded by beautiful women, and naturally he has lost his observation of life.

We can only rely on some specious and mysterious works to fool everyone. "

This comment received tens of thousands of likes in just one day.

On June 6, Sanlian Weekly published another exclusive interview about Cheng Kaige. The title was "Kaige is old, a person and an era."

This exclusive interview takes advantage of the popularity of Tianlu winning the Palme d'Or at Cannes, and once again reviews the process of Farewell My Concubine winning the Palme d'Or, arousing everyone's respect for Cheng Kaige.

Then he said that Cheng Kaige is old, but his pursuit of art is still there, but he is not sure about the pulse of the market and has not kept up with the preferences of young people.

In one fell swoop, the blame for Cheng Kaige's filming of Wuji was thrown away, and Cheng Kaige was allowed to play the role of a late hero, arousing everyone's sympathy.

At the end of the interview, the article also compared the two movies Farewell My Concubine and Pilgrim.

This reporter believes that although they are both Palme d'Or films, Farewell My Concubine is so much better than The Road to Heaven that the two are not movies of the same level at all.

If competing at the same Cannes, Farewell My Concubine could easily crush Tianlu.

Cheng Kaige concluded: "When Farewell My Concubine won the award, the jury was all foreigners. But this time when Tianlu won the award, the chairman of the jury was Wang Jiawei, and there was also a Chinese judge Zhang Ziyi.

The difficulty of winning awards for our two films is quite different.

And I heard that in March, Wang Jiawei visited Zhang Nanyi's filming crew. The two chatted for a long time, and Wang Jiawei also wanted to invite Zhang Nanyi to star in his new movie The Grandmaster. "

After the publication of this exclusive interview by Sanlian Weekly, the negative public opinion of Tianlu became even more heated.

Related comments such as "Wang Jiawei relies on Wang Jiawei to win awards", "Cannes shady story", etc. also began to spread on the Internet.

For a time, on the Internet, everyone seemed to be shouting about the movie "The Road to Heaven", and Zhang Nanyi's reputation seemed to be greatly affected.

But in reality, Pilgrim's box office performance was surprisingly good.

On June 6st, Tianlu received a box office of 1 million, down 1500 million from the previous day. June 300 was a Saturday, and the box office returned to the 6 million level, reaching 2 million. On Sunday, June 2000, the box office was 2200 million. .

On Monday, June 6, the box office dropped as normal, only 4 million.

In the first week of release, the total box office of "The Road to Heaven" was 1.44 million yuan, once again breaking the first week box office record of "Jingdao Rescue".

Seeing the box office performance of Tianlu, many people in the industry expressed their disbelief.

Why is this movie so good at the box office despite having such a bad reputation?
