The king of all people

Chapter 350
(The second update is later, today's fourth update)
Shooting plots that audiences like to watch and telling stories that audiences are willing to appreciate are the most basic conditions for a movie to be successful and popular.

"Mobile Phone" was first released in the North American market, which is not friendly to Chinese-language movies. It can be said that it has no advantage at all from the starting line.

However, this is another comedy that focuses on relaxation and humor, and also reflects the phenomenon of the third party in society...

Because of these two reasons, many people directly put "Mobile" into the cold palace of movie viewing.Americans, like the Japanese, have always hated and looked down upon China very much. In their eyes, the idea that the Chinese can produce blockbuster movies comparable to the United States has never emerged.

On the night of the official release of "Mobile" on October 10, Bruno, who attended a party of high-class socialites, accepted dozens of interviews from American media that were present that night.

"Mr. Bruno, I think you have to give a reasonable explanation for this behavior today! Why on earth would you be so confused as to act as an agent for a movie full of Chinese?"

"No, buddy, your question is not straightforward enough! Mr. Bu, as a filmmaker, you should be very aware of the recent wind vane of the North American film market, right? Where did you find the confidence to go against the market? When you are in power, let the shoddy comedy "Mobile" be released to criticize?"

"What's more, you actually spent a lot of money on advertising for that movie in major theaters!"

The reporters became more and more excited. As true Americans, they were extremely confused by the behavior of Columbia Pictures. It happened that tonight they met Bruno, who had publicly announced that he had bought the copyright of "Mobile". Naturally, they would not easily I don't want to let go of this opportunity to vent my dissatisfaction.

If good North American movies are not released, how about getting involved in Chinese movies?
It's okay to distribute it as an agent, after all, Columbia is a commercial company. However, they actually put this movie up for public release during a cold epidemic in the United States!

The American media is an extremely large industrial chain. These reporters who don't know the inside story don't care about whether they will offend others. Everyone's questions are like thorns.

Bruno was furious.

Facing so many merciless criticisms from the media, he has always been pampered, and the line of defense in his heart, who thinks he has a noble blood, has completely collapsed.Sensing the constantly flickering spotlights around him, as well as the mockery and sneer in the eyes of celebrities and ladies, Bruno decided to fight willfully.

Anyway, the profits he has made for Columbia Pictures over the years are beyond statistics. Anyway, the garbage Chinese film "Mobile Phone" that he bought half a year ago in a daze is destined to have a pitifully low box office. The anger of the audience was transferred to that Chinese Li Xian.

Isn't he a fool with a lot of money and a lot of confidence in his films?

With a wretched smirk in his heart, Bruno replied with a mean face: "Hehe, I think everyone misunderstood me and our Columbia Pictures. Our company has always appreciated outstanding and talented talents, and has been working hard for so many years. In the work of discovering good movies. But this time, we made a mistake, we were deceived by that Chinese artist named Li Xian."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar at the party, including those celebrities and men and women who were discussing where to go to have sex after the dinner. They were all shocked.

It turns out that the reason why "Mobile Phone" was able to enter North American theaters in this schedule, is there an unknown secret behind it?

Satisfied with everyone's reaction, Bruno sneered one after another without a trace, and continued: "The matter has come to this point, and the company and I are not willing to defend ourselves anymore... We sincerely want to apologize to everyone for blindly publishing third-rate The movie "Mobile" apologizes to the people of the United States!"

The reporters suddenly panicked. They didn't expect that such a powerful Bruno would be willing to humblely bow and apologize in front of the camera!
The anger is resolved, the dissatisfaction is gone...

A group of people who were clamoring to ask Bruno to explain clearly changed their views quickly.No one knows what to do. Columbia, which is often thoughtful and prudent, will of course stumble one day.

If you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and there is nothing good about them.Since they are willing to admit their negligence in work and vision, as citizens of the United States, we will not always be unreasonable.

"It seems that the Chinese boy named Li Xian is not good at acting, but he is very good at cheating and swindling! Let me just say, how can Mr. Bruno with his bright eyes release such a disgusting Chinese comedy... ..."

"You're great, buddy! Everything is Li Xian's trick!"

There was a lot of chatter and discussion, and in just a few minutes, the atmosphere at the dinner party changed drastically.The front foot is still the object of being spurned by everyone, but Bruno on the back foot has transformed into a good American citizen who can afford it and let it go, and has the courage to admit his mistakes and take responsibility.

Of course, not all the media can be fooled easily. A few elderly journalists stood up and asked after everyone's emotions had cooled down: "Mr. Bruno, we are also very sorry for your company's loss this time." It's a pity. But what still puzzles us is, since you know that this movie is bad, why did you spend money to place advertisements for "Mobile" in theaters?"

"Alas..." Bruno didn't give an answer eagerly, and the look on his face was indeed more tired and pitiful. "To be honest...the publicity this time was the idea of ​​China Li himself, and the advertising costs were fully borne by him..."

hiss!
The audience fell silent in an instant. Those who are eligible to attend tonight are all rich and wealthy, but when they heard Bruno's words, they all gasped in unison!
In addition to lamenting that this Chinese is extremely rich, they are more annoyed by Li Xian's mindless behavior of worshiping money.

What happened to the money?
If you are so self-willed when you have money, no matter how much property you have, one day you will squander it!
"Perhaps, that kid has a good father who is a rich man! No wonder the movie "Mobile" is so bad, it's just a defective product made by the rich second generation for fun!"

……

The interview video of this celebrity dinner was quickly spread on the Internet in the United States, and the word-of-mouth of "Mobile", which had just been released for a few hours, also successfully fell to the bottom of the abyss.

In the major theaters, the film schedule of "Mobile" was the first to be affected, and the frightened bosses forced to reduce the film schedule, and forcibly cut the number of screenings of "Mobile" into raw soy sauce.

Due to the combination of multiple factors, the release situation of "Mobile", which few Americans bought tickets to enter the theater, has become more and more like falling into an ice cave...

According to the official North American box office statistics agency on October 10, "Mobile" only received a miserable box office of more than 9 US dollars on the first day of its release.
