my gilded age

Chapter 591 During the Spring Festival, I, Bai Shiqiu, am going to challenge a Hollywood blockbuster!

"It's too cruel! It's too cruel! Hahaha..." Honest Man posted something incomprehensible.

However, many No. 4 fans responded enthusiastically.

"It's too cruel! It's really too cruel!" Xuan Tianji came to join in the fun.

"It's really too cruel!" Flying Dante, the new No. 4 fan also said.

"You guys, stop playing!" Weiwei couldn't bear it anymore.

The cruel meme came out. It was an animated picture. Honglei yelled to someone who was too cruel. The key is his image, wearing a white ancient costume, with good hair and so on. He also had a Mustache.

This acting skill is definitely an unforgettable one for Hong Lei in his life, absolutely, and it is widely praised.

It's very interesting.

There's no way around it. These days, everyone is so good at being funny and focusing on key points.

Fans No. 4 are pretty good. After all, Hong Lei also appeared in "Fei Cheng 2". Although his role was a bit too pretentious, it still made people cry when this character died in the end. Yes, it still has quite a bit of depth.

However, the netizens outside are even more... naughty.

"Holy shit! This acting performance fully demonstrates Sun Honglei's powerful acting skills. The word "too cruel" is perfectly interpreted. It fully demonstrates the anger of Sun Bin, a master of military art at that time, and makes the character even more glorious... Lei Brother, do you think you can make it up like this?"

"Hahaha... You are so talented. Are you afraid that Liu Huaqiang will point a gun at your head?"

"The netizens of Rapeseed Flower are really fun."

"Come on, let me show you another picture. I must keep this picture and pass it on so that my grandson's grandson's grandson can look up to it."

That picture, GIF, is constantly being circulated like crazy. It should be said that this incident actually promoted GIFs on our country’s Internet, or to put it more directly, it is a booster for the proliferation of emoticons.

The public outcry was so overwhelming that Sun Honglei couldn't hold it any longer.

"Brothers, there are some things that I cannot help but do as a person in the world." Sun Honglei posted this on TT.

Oh, that's interesting. What does this mean?
Soon, there were some gossip TT accounts, releasing some interesting stories.

"This film has a very strong purpose, that is, a certain big shot wants to praise someone..."

"Hong Lei was accepted this time. It is said that the film he accepted... the conditions were very generous, but the script was really not good. He refused at first. It's a pity that the boss is too strong."

"It is said that the big guy is very awesome..."

Gossip, proper gossip, all kinds of rumors started.

The reputation of "Warring States" as a bad movie cannot be shaken off, but no one expected that there would be an additional scene. It seems that this added scene later is more enjoyable than the main film.

Needless to say, this is quite torn.

As for "Fei Cheng 2", it finally helped Hong Lei regain some of his reputation. This guy's acting skills are still there, at least that's it.

Anyway, on Bai Shiqiu's side, if his opponent is bad, he will be bad anyway, so we can take advantage of the situation to reap a wave of box office.

2011 arrived as expected. "Unfortunate 2" quickly and easily collected 3 million in box office, and the previous hit "The Wind" also performed well, with the box office directly exceeding 11 billion.

This is all a foil to his peers. In other words, if Bai Shiqiu posted a TT at this time and said thank you to everyone, it would be too coquettish.

Fortunately, Bai Shiqiu is an honest man after all. In such a fierce and powerful Lunar New Year battle, he kept a low profile.

However, what comes next is the even more powerful Spring Festival stall.

After returning from Ruyi's place, Bai Shiqiu went directly to a place, a very interesting shop.

Masan Potato Chips, this store is really small, at least the front door is really not big, the interior decoration is OK and quite clean, but overall it still has a small name, naturally a place like this will not sell any big meals. Anyone who understands potato chips knows it, isn’t it just potato chips?

"Boy, you're finally here. How about this meal? Isn't this a thoughtful meal?"

"Third Master, you are too stingy, right? The things sold here can't reach thirty at any rate, right?"

"Hey, is it because our boss Bai has made it so that he doesn't look down on the delicacies of our common people?"

"Oh my God, the Third Master is awesome. Not only did he treat me to dinner for less, but he also slapped me with a big hat. It seems that I, Bai Shiqiu, still have to learn more from the Third Master."

"Haha... of course, you kid has learned from it. Come on, have a taste of these potato chips."

"Isn't it just spicy potato chips? It's not like I haven't eaten them before."

Yes, in fact, this store mainly sells this snack, but the food they make is really good, and there is one thing. Bai Shiqiu is really not a delicacy that looks down on the common people, but the things in this store are really good. Very cheap.

How much is a potato?

However, Third Master invited me, so don’t worry about the price.

It’s really interesting. When Bai Shiqiu was in the south, the third master sent him a text message. At that time, he said that he was going to have a big dinner, but when he arrived at the place, alas~
Fortunately, they are quite delicious. Not to mention the preparation of these potatoes, the potatoes alone are not small. They are such a big piece. They are cut very thin and slightly broken. Then mix them with the sauce and put them in your mouth. They are salty. It's spicy and the potato slices are crispy, so it's really delicious.

"Slow down!" The third master looked at Bai Shiqiu's mouthfuls. . .

"You still feel bad after eating a few potatoes from you." Bai Shiqiu didn't even have time to complain to him.

Okay, two more sets.

However, there must be something to say.

"Boy, you've been very popular recently. You just said you won Cheng Tian's plate. Now I look at it. Huo, just the two films in the Lunar New Year period seem to be about the same in terms of box office, right?"

"Third Master, that's not the way to calculate financially. I'm not good at math, so I really don't know how much it is."

"You kid, you said you were fat and you were out of breath. Come on, you said you were not good at math. That's fine. Tell me, what do you think about Hong Lei?"

Ok?
Bai Shiqiu's mouth was full of potato seeds. When the third master asked him this question, he felt very strange. Why did he ask this question?

After thinking for a moment, he said casually, "Brother Lei is very smart."

That's it. . .

"Haha..." The third master laughed loudly and patted Bai Shiqiu twice, "You really don't give it for free, but this film, what do you think..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Shiqiu continued: "Third Master, what did I say when I told you about those Hong Kong and Taiwan movies? This movie is very simple, and there is no real intention to make a good movie. , I’m just here to cheat money, and it’s not just about cheating money, that’s all.”

Bai Shiqiu's words can be said to be very ferocious.

"Then why don't you say it openly?" Third Master stabbed him.

"Do you think I'll be scared?" Bai Shiqiu smiled, "In this movie, I don't have time to care about her at all."

If someone else had said this, it would have been just pretentiousness, or an afterthought, but looking at Bai Shiqiu's reactions before and after, it seems that he really did.After hearing this, the third master laughed and ordered two more plates of potato seeds... It was really good, I didn't feel bad.

Bai Shiqiu doesn't care about that much anymore. In line with the central idea that even if he eats potato seeds, he will eat up your third master, he won't be idle.

But in fact, the two of them still had important things to talk about.

"Boy, you have a lot of resources at hand." The third master also said.

Bai Shiqiu knew that the third master couldn't bear it any longer, so he immediately said, "I'm just making a little fuss."

The two glanced at each other a few times and laughed again.

But immediately, the third master said: "The next step is the Spring Festival. From a domestic perspective, whether it is in mainland China or Hong Kong and Taiwan, it seems that you don't take it seriously."

"Not necessarily." Bai Shiqiu responded, "This "Let the Bullets Fly" seems to have a great reputation. My senior brother, Brother Fa, and me, hehe... I put their names together, and my face was a little red. But, after all, this movie is not necessarily great."

That's what he said, look what he said.

The third master really has the urge to hit someone. What is the structure of this girl's face?

It's not necessarily true, but his face is filled with a confidence that he can step on everything.

The third master had no choice but to show his cards, "Tell me, what do you mean?"

Bai Shiqiu didn't hide it anymore and said directly: "This time, I am going to fight against Hollywood's second-hand action."

Fighting Hollywood?
Understand, simple, understand.

It just wants to compete with Hollywood blockbusters.

The third master looked at Bai Shiqiu for a long time, and then said, "You really have strong wings."

Bai Shiqiu said very implicitly: "Third Master, I am really not trying to tear you down. Everything is in accordance with the normal movie business model. I will not do anything stupid."

"Okay! Since you are so courageous, I can't say anything more. I'm just waiting to see how you take down Hollywood blockbusters. Come on, this meal of potatoes will boost your momentum!"

That's what he said, look what he said.

"If you're really stingy, just invite Tudouzi."

"How generous you are, Boss Bai, I can't learn it."

"Ha ha……"

"hey-hey……"

The old man and the young man are really funny.

After that, I asked some specific questions, such as how the "Love in Confusion" filmed by Bai Shiqiu and Bao Feifei performed in the United States.

Bai Shiqiu also briefly said that it was okay in the United States, and the box office was not a big hit, but the reputation was very good. However, after all, the film was full of Chinese faces, and some Americans could not accept it. Currently, Universal is preparing We are still talking about making an American version again.

That’s it for the potatoes for this meal.

No one knows that the more intense and exciting Spring Festival war started with this meal of Masan potato chips.

Bai Shiqiu knew very well why the third master told him this. It was very simple, because the introduction of Hollywood movies was what the third master and China Film Group were doing.

In fact, these movies are quite interesting. From Bai Shiqiu's own opinion, from the third master's point of view, Hollywood blockbusters definitely make him love and hate them.

Love, that's because it does make money. You know, the majority of Hollywood blockbusters are actually taken by China Film and Cinemas.

Back then, when our country's film market was in a very sluggish state, we really relied on Hollywood blockbusters to survive.

On the contrary, Hollywood studios get very little money, that is, they take away [-]% of the box office.

This is true, but it is also interesting.

Who has ever seen a capitalist complaining about not making money and losing money?

No, absolutely not. There are people who do the business of beheading, but no one does the business of losing money. This is especially true for capitalists, and even more so for those veterans in Hollywood.

So, why are they willing to send the movie to China with only [-]%?

It's very simple. It's just to make money. Just like when David Stern went to CCTV to lobby, you can broadcast our NBA, just broadcast it, no money, really no money, no money at all.

Will the NBA make money later?

One reason, the same.

NBA games are already there anyway, and I’ve already made money from ticket and TV broadcast fees in the United States. In order to open up more avenues, what if it’s free at the beginning?

The same goes for Hollywood. Hollywood movies have already been filmed. There is another way. Not to mention getting [-]%, they are willing to come even if it is free. It cultivates the market and cultivates the audience.

Just like basketball, there are many basketball enthusiasts in China, especially young people who are in school. They don’t watch the CBA and follow the NBA every day.

Yes, Bai Shiqiu also admitted that the level of the CBA is indeed not as good as the NBA, but we are also constantly improving.

Now, he has a chance to compete with Hollywood blockbusters. Why doesn't he do it?
Third Master, he is in a dilemma now. He has to take care of his own plate, but he also knows the reason. Moreover, a relatively large part of the box office allocation of China Film to overseas films in the past was to support the development of domestic films. This We really can't accuse him unjustly.

But I’m still confused, it’s normal, it’s really normal, this is money, this is benefit.

However, Bai Shiqiu is not entangled.

Bai Shiqiu has made up his mind. All his previous actions, various means, and the accumulation of the Lunar New Year period have paved a very good path for him.

Moreover, the Hollywood blockbusters released around the Spring Festival this year are really interesting.

"Let the Bullets Fly" is already scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival. Movies in the same period, especially Hollywood movies, include "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader", Disney's "Tron: Legacy", and another one coming soon. A pretty ferocious superhero movie, The Green Hornet.

In these three films, Bai Shiqiu really...

Not much more to say, just send a TT.

"@The Chronicles of Narnia@Tron: Chronicles@Green Hornet, come on together, why should we be afraid of "Let the Bullets Fly"!"

After this article came out, it immediately aroused a happy discussion among netizens. . .
