Remember 【??】in one second, to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

"Who is this guy?"

In the driving car, Scarlett Johansson listened to Tina Fei's translation by the co-pilot, and her pretty face couldn't help putting on a bit of sullenness, "Our film is not in competition with him? Why does he stand? Come out and say that?"

The object of her questioning was naturally Duke. Duke patted Scarlett’s hand lightly and said, “I know a little about the film industry here. This director always likes to criticize some people or films, so he was People gave it a nickname called "Cannon"."

"'cannon'?"

Because Duke uses a literal translation of English, Scarlett can understand the meaning of this word. After thinking about it, she can't help but smile, "It's a very appropriate description."

Duke still knows what kind of person Feng Dapao is. Every time he fires a cannon, he has his own purpose. Most people know that Feng Dapao is a very good commercial director, but few know that he is also a hype. Good hand.

The most typical thing is to retreat from the film industry and the ranks of directors. How many times Feng Dapao has said that, I am afraid that he is not clear about it. In recent years, almost Feng Dapao’s films have been released, and he will say that he is about to retire... …

Of course, Duke will not care about Feng Dapao using his movies for hype. After all, it is not without benefits for the other party to fire, and it is entirely possible for Warner Greater China to create a certain topical effect.

This Mercedes-Benz motorhome slowed down gradually and slowly stopped at the door of the Crowne Plaza Hotel. After the door was opened by the doorman, Duke’s two bodyguards rushed over from the car behind and took their luggage at the same time. According to Western practice, the doorman is tipped a certain amount.

Looking up at the words on the square, Scarlett Johansson couldn't help but exclaimed, "Such an unfamous Chinese city is so crowded. [ㄨ]"

She just finished speaking, she couldn't help coughing a few times, pinched her nose unconsciously, and frowned her brows.

Duke turned his head and looked at the gray sky. Naturally, he will not forget this city famous for its spring water. The air in the city has an unspeakable smell. When he looks up, he always feels that something is blocking the sky.

He remembered it clearly. I used to live in this city during the same period of time, and the city’s air pollution index almost always ranks among the bottom three.

Originally, Duke left the crew and brought Scarlett Johansson to this city, also wanting to see another hometown. It's just that today's air quality is too bad, obviously not suitable for going out.

"Temporarily cancel the original tour plan..."

In the presidential suite, Duke said to Tina Fei and Scarlett Johansson who were packing, "Let’s see if the air situation will improve tomorrow."

Maybe it was because I was not satisfied with the water and soil after I came to China, or maybe it was really stimulated by the air. After Scarlett went upstairs, she would cough lightly from time to time.

"Cough...cough..."

With a clenched fist, he coughed twice. Scarlett Johansson hung Duke's coat on the hanger and said, "I don't even think about it. Why are you here."

Tina Fei gave Duke a curious look. She has followed Duke to China far more times than Scarlett Johansson, but she has never seen Duke interested in such a city.

Of course Duke would not say the real reason, but shook his head slightly, "You won't understand."

Scarlett Johansson came over and pulled Duke to sit on the couch, "When do you like to play mysticism."

"I read this city's brochure in Shanghai a few days ago..."

Seeing Scarlett looking at him with doubts, Duke replied casually, "Then he dreamed of coming to this city to play."

"Is this the reason?" Scarlett shook her head. She knew what kind of person Duke was. I didn't believe it at all, "Will you be swayed by dreams?"

Tina Fei finished packing her things at this time, and walked towards the study, and said at the same time. "I'm going to work."

Duke nodded. After coming to China, his workload has not decreased. In particular, many cooperations between Lucasfilm and China need to be reviewed, and these are basically Tina Fei doing preliminary work. deal with. Finally it will be summarized in his hands.

Scarlett handed over a glass of water, Duke took it and drank it, walked to Tina Fei's already organized laptop, and pressed the power button.

Another glass of water was offered for Duke, Scarlett followed, "Still working?"

"Our propaganda hype for Mr. Cannon has already begun."

Picking up the mouse and clicking on the browser, Duke stared at the monitor screen and said, "I want to see the response on the Internet here."

Some time ago, the main propaganda point of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" in China is undoubtedly the super high Chinese box office, but such propaganda cannot be maintained at a high fever for a long time. Fresh and interesting topics are indispensable.

Many media are hyping Feng Dapao's remarks, but on social media, under the clever guidance of the Public Relations Department of Warner Greater China, the remarks of Chinese fans and netizens have shown an overwhelming trend.

That Feng Dapao believes that "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is full of excitement, but not enough.

"You showed me a lot of excitement, I am not satisfied, I see it as popular. Whether it is a movie or a performance on stage, you need to be careful."

This is what Feng Dapao said on Weibo later, which was bombarded by countless fans and netizens. Yes, it is a private order. I left before I finished reading it.

More and more sharp remarks appeared on the Internet, and there were voices criticizing Feng Dapao on social media.

"Let’s not say whether Director Feng’s opinion is pertinent or not, but from the perspective of China’s domestic film production level, there is indeed a long way to go from Hollywood in the United States. Each country has different movie styles. There are almost no Hollywood blockbusters in the United States. Other countries can match, and Chinese films are far behind technically. This can be caught up with the hard work of the day after tomorrow, but in the sincerity of making films, one should also learn from American blockbusters."

"Nowadays, the crude production of Chinese films is very common, and their commercialization is serious. They are all criticized by domestic audiences. It is foolish to watch bad films once and then watch them again. It is silly to support domestic production. It is worth advocating, but ignorant support. Domestic production will only spoil Chinese movies. It is also Chinese movies that have disappointed audiences time and time again. They still do not know that one is more utilitarian than one. I am afraid that there will be fewer and fewer people willing to pay."

In fact, in Duke’s view, Chinese films can develop in two directions. One is to form their own unique style, and avoid following the trend to make the same thing. The other is to develop commercialization, but sincerity must be sufficient, and blockbuster movies should be. The feeling of making a blockbuster film, don't make another four different under the banner of a blockbuster film, it will only lose the reputation of the entire Chinese film.

Some Chinese netizens are still more sensible, and they are not wanton attacks for strolling purposes.

"Director Feng is really confused and sober at times. Not long ago, he bombarded variety movies like "Running Man" and received countless praises and support. Now he belittled "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and attracted countless criticisms. Comment on a movie It’s everyone’s freedom, and Director Feng is no exception. It’s just that “the poor students don’t learn well, but the top students learn too well.”

There are also fans who are not polite.

"Domestic directors themselves are not up for it. Now watching Duke Rosenberg make money, they feel uncomfortable... But they don't want to think that the combined box office of all of them can compare to Duke Rosen. Is the box office volume that Berg created alone?"

Movies have never been good enough to sell well. The excellent promotion and marketing of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is undoubtedly the key to today’s box office boom. In some respects, Feng Dapao has helped " Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Following the three-day billion-rmb box office, in the following ten days, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" still couldn't find any rivals in the Chinese cinema market, and it was completely a dominant situation.

However, it is impossible for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" to continue to operate at a super high temperature of one billion RMB for three days. It is also impossible. After the first three days of screening, the popularity will inevitably decline to a certain extent. , But in these ten days, I also got a full RMB 1 billion.

Within 13 days of its release, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" soared a box office figure of more than 200 million RMB, which unsurprisingly surpassed the 19.97 million RMB of another Duke film "The Avengers" Achievement, become the most popular movie in Chinese film history!

Similarly, the Chinese market is outside the North American market, where "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has the highest box office production.

The title of the world's second largest box office market is well-deserved.

Although "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is booming worldwide, box office and peripheral products are selling wildly, but Duke's mood is not very good, because he came to this city famous for its spring water and only visited for half a day. In time, Scarlett Johansson felt obvious discomfort in his throat, and the cough gradually became violent.

Although the doctor thought the problem was not too serious, Duke also decided to end this unpleasant trip.

"I want to go back to Los Angeles."

The always gray sky here also makes Scarlett's mood very bad, "I miss Malibu and our Duke Manor."

Now "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has been released in China for nearly half a month, and it has won more than RMB 200 million at the box office, which has exceeded his and Lucasfilm's expectations. Various publicity efforts are also coming to an end and continue to stay. There is not much effect here either.

"Okay, my dear." Duke nodded her forehead lightly. "We're going home."

The past is over after all, and Duke is not the kind of person who entangles the past. This kind of problem has been clarified decades ago. (To be continued.)

ps: 　　 will be over in the last few days. I am thinking about the ending, and I can’t end it hastily like the last one. For the time being, there is only one update per day. It is estimated that around five chapters will end.

Thank you for your continued support. Thank you for accompany me through the two years. We will continue to go on.
