MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 150

This kind of commercial film will never have a good reputation among real film critics.

There is no need to forcefully pursue the word-of-mouth of film critics, just use these film critics to confuse the word-of-mouth of other film critics.

Just cause chaos.

The word of mouth is good or bad, and some audiences who are easily at the mercy of film critics will become curious and enter the cinema in person to watch these controversial films.

After ordering the work and setting the premiere time with Tsui Hark, Kevin bid farewell to all work for the time being and entered a short rest period. The rest of the finishing work was handled by the company's editor.

The editing work for about half a month has made him exhausted.

When I was working in the editing room, I didn't feel it yet, but as soon as I came out, Kevin suddenly missed Helen and Emma.

Anxious Kevin called them and told them to go home.

Then he headed back to his villa.

On the other hand, Shushan's promotional film suddenly became popular, which also attracted the attention of other film companies.

Columbia and Bowei, two major Hollywood studios, have blockbuster movies to be released on Christmas.

In the summer, Steve Kevin's movies swept everything.

They endured.

But even this movie, which was only supervised by Steve Kevin, wanted to occupy the Christmas slot, and they couldn't bear it anymore.

under their cues.

Some unfavorable remarks against Shushan began to spread.

The point of this is that this is a film made by a Hong Kong director.

American society is quite xenophobic.

If you don't mention it, in fact, as long as the protagonist is an American, these people don't care.

But every day I mentioned before the media that this is a Hong Kong movie.

This inevitably makes some Americans have ideas in their minds.

･･･

These public opinions were quickly observed by Huanami G.M., and Robinoff, the president, came to MGM in person.

Reiter received him warmly.

They are for what is currently fermenting speech.

No one is an idiot, and at first glance, this incident shows that Shushan has touched whose interests.

After a simple investigation, they immediately came to the conclusion that if something happened to Shushan, the biggest beneficiaries would be Bowei and Columbia Films, that is to say, they were the ones who had a high probability of producing these negative news.

Chapter 222 Shushan Premiere

Just relying on the three film companies that invested in Shushan, there are not many people in the circle who dare to cause trouble.

Those small studios didn't dare to offend them at all.

The identity of the enemy is actually quite obvious.

This time, he just wanted to discuss with Leiter how to eliminate the pressure of public opinion.

Leiter welcomed Robinov into the company and received him personally.

In the office, come up, and the two of them went straight to the point.

"Let, what do you think about these public opinions?"

"This is someone targeting Shushan."

Leiter was outspoken and directly set the tone of the conversation.

The next thing to do is to discuss how to resolve this wave of public opinion pressure and countermeasures.

When others do the first year, they will do the fifteenth.

Robinov nodded and said:

"Yes, according to my investigation, it is very likely that Beverly and Columbia Pictures did it. Their movie schedules are all in the Christmas season."

"Shushan is a great threat to them."

"Then let's also launch a public opinion offensive on their films."

Reiter answered.

A tooth for a tooth.

Public opinion offensive is a trick, who can't do it.

Although even if the offensive is launched, they are the ones who suffer the most. After all, in this Christmas stall, the most anticipated is Shushan.

But you can't let go of your opponent so easily.

It's better to lose both than to lose yourself.

"Okay, launch a public opinion offensive on their movies, and we will launch some film critics who are good friends with us, as well as some insiders, to spread Shushan's reputation."

Robinov continued.

After some discussion, it was decided what to do next.

The first is to reverse public opinion, which they are going to reverse through the speeches of celebrities in the circle.

These actors and stars have great influence, and their joint speeches can largely offset negative comments.

This is the connection that MGM and Warner Bros.

Their films have brought out an unknown number of star actors, and some of them have good cooperation with them, and they are still in contact with them now.

It's not a big problem to start friendship at this time and ask everyone to help.

On the other hand, it is a counterattack to the films of these two companies.

･･･

With the joint counterattack of MGM and Warner Bros.

Nicolas Cage, Jim Carrey, Angelina Jolie...

A series of celebrities who had a good relationship with Kevin spoke one after another, and in various entertainment newspapers, a series of words of whitewashing Shushan suddenly appeared.

These people, it is no exaggeration to say, are considered the last wave of power in Hollywood, and it is not a big problem to occupy one-fifth of Hollywood.

Under these remarks, Shushan's negative remarks and what Hong Kong directors are no longer mentioned.

The work supervised by Steve Kevin has been repeatedly pulled out to emphasize that it has eliminated the negative effects to the greatest extent.

At the same time, a wave of negative publicity about the films produced by Beverly and Columbia has also risen.

The entertainment industry all over the world is the same dirty, as long as you want to find trouble, you can't find flaws.

Since it was Bowei and Columbia who took the initiative, they didn't take it into consideration.

A war of public opinion ensues.

･･･

Five days later, when the well-trained Kevin paid attention to entertainment news again, what he saw was the criticism from both sides.

New York Times:

[A movie made by Hong Kong people and 90% of the actors are mainlanders, can it be said to be an American movie? 】

[Steve Kevin is suspected of receiving foreign funds to supervise the production of this work. 】

【・・】

San Francisco Times:

[Mr. Sweetheart broke out the unspoken rules, and the director and the heroine had an amazing night...]

[Ransom storm, the director and the actor are suspected to have an extraordinary relationship, which is thought-provoking...]

Coupled with a few plausible photos, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

Immediately, the film was involved in the whirlpool of public opinion.

All kinds of news made Kevin dazzled.

Putting down the newspaper, Kevin rubbed his temples and lay down again.

After a while, Helen brought a large bowl of ginseng chicken soup from the kitchen, and Kevin got up to eat and drink.

Consumption is large, and nutrition cannot be lacking.

Kevin is also considered to be a variety of supplementary ingredients. He eats it every day to keep his body and mind healthy.

"Kevin, call."

Emma helped Kevin pick up the ringing phone and sent it over.

"Boss Kevin, I'm Dawson, and tomorrow is the time for the premiere."

"Well, I see."

Hanging up the phone, Kevin thought in his heart whether to invite some big-name actors to help out and liven up the atmosphere.

The movie Shushan, for Hollywood, really has no big-name stars.

The most publicized is actually Kevin's producer title.

This inevitably makes the brilliance of Shushan dim a lot.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Kevin decided to give up these ideas.

The movie itself is not a big name, it depends on the quality.

It's useless to play with these bells and whistles, just show it honestly.

Only when Shushan succeeds by relying on his own charm, can Kevin have the confidence to continue to create more Xianxia style movies.

Otherwise, Kevin would have been decisive in giving up.

･･･

The next day, December 5th.

Kevin took an early ride to the premiere.

Unlike the Matrix spectacle, the audience for this premiere was not that large, most of them of Chinese descent.

They just want to see the scenery of their hometown.

In the true sense, it is no one's fan.

Then some executives from the three film companies came to join in the fun.

and some critics.

Of course, among all of them, the biggest one is naturally Kevin.

After speaking with Tsui Hark briefly and accepting some interviews at the same time, the movie began to play soon.

Everyone immediately focused and started watching the movie.

At the beginning of the movie, a beautiful, god-like world is displayed in front of everyone.

Tsui Hark has a very good use of color.

Mount Emei in the shot, with special effects, created a world full of magic, and the peculiar colors conveyed an unpleasant atmosphere to the audience from the very beginning.

It was followed by a short story, telling everyone the origin and story of Gorefiend, the final big BOSS.

Probably the content is that the Gorefiend wants to destroy the world, and the Shushan faction seals its story.

Then the screen turned to the Shushan faction.

The eldest disciple of the Shushan faction, a man of righteousness, a handsome man full of oriental men (Ekin Cheng).

Controlled by Gorefiend, use him to break the seal.

Then the Gorefiend began to destroy the world from the Shushan faction. In order to seal the Gorefiend, the major forces in this world joined forces with the Shushan faction and the Gorefiend to fight against each other.
