Coquettish Rebirth

"Political correctness?" Ye Jing was stunned for a moment, "Drugs don't involve political correctness? It's not about guns..." That's right, based on Ye Jing's many years of living experience in the United States, she knows that there are also problems in the United States. Political red lines are also politically correct.For example, such a thing as racial discrimination is definitely a political red line!Whoever touches who is unlucky!And the matter of racial discrimination is basically prepared for black people!Black people can say that they are naturally more talented in music and sports than white people, but white people cannot say that they are naturally smarter than black people. If you dare to say that, it is racism!

In some ways, the United States is a bit overcorrected now. Black people have a bit of "victim syndrome", and they are so sensitive. They can say the same thing, but others can't say the same thing with them!Then, the white people have a kind of "white people's original sin", so they try to tolerate the black people as much as possible. Although on the surface it looks like hello, me, hello, everyone, but in fact this political red line is really overkill!

At the same time, there is an invisible "political red line" on the US side, and that is the issue of guns.Obviously, other countries in the world, even Britain and France, basically ban guns, but because of the influence of various military giants in the United States, organizations such as the National Rifle Association have all kinds of propaganda that guns are good!Although it may not be said that the whole society will oppose the ban on guns, but definitely the National Rifle Association will organize a lot of manpower and material resources to sing the opposite, and then all kinds of military enterprises will support the association!In the end, it is basically useless to want to ban guns!But if these two are considered "red lines", then drugs can't be regarded as red lines?

Whether dealing drugs or taking drugs.Even though there are many practitioners of these things in the United States, the police still have to take care of them!Can these things be considered red lines?Could it be that the movie will be boycotted if you take drugs?Not so?While Ye Jing was thinking about it, she heard Jia Hongjian say, "I don't mean drugs as such, but other things. For example, there is a plot in which an official was appointed as a The anti-drug official of the government, just after being appointed, the official returned home happily and found that his daughter was secretly taking drugs... Then he also said a lot of places bordering Mexico, where local officials committed suicide, which added to the anti-drug work Many difficult things...Although drugs themselves are not taboo, will there be someone as the prototype in the rest of these things? Although the United States claims that they can write freely when writing works. But the problem has this kind of freedom After the rights. It’s not all right to write casually, unless it’s an obvious satirical work, otherwise it’s serious and serious, and you have to be responsible! Freedom doesn’t mean that you can talk nonsense and don’t pay any responsibility! Turn back If the relevant personnel really sue, we must be jointly and severally accused..."

Hearing this, Ye Jing nodded.indeed.Although the United States is free, freedom also has a bottom line.It's not that you'll be fine after swearing at people casually, and you will be sued if you spread rumors casually!And at this time.Jia Hongjian went on to say: "Although it is not necessarily true that you will be accused, there is definitely such a risk. On the other hand, if you only consider it from the perspective of the market, Mr. Spielberg has gone through the previous stage. Yes, he said that in the 6070s, Hollywood was influenced by the red camps such as the Soviet Union and China. When the society began to democratize, it also began to criticize reality and other things. Like "First Blood", that is also a little Criticizing reality, Rambo himself did not want to go to Vietnam, the government sent him there, but after he came back, almost all the people looked down on him and called him an executioner, who did he mess with? But since the 80s At the beginning, Hollywood slowly entered illusionism, perhaps because of the declining power of the Soviet Union. Anyway, Hollywood movies are less and less concerned with criticizing reality. So under such a situation, Spielberg thinks that such a Movies that reflect reality may not do well at the box office, and there are grounds for that..."

Whether the box office of "Drug Network" is good or not, Jia Hongjian doesn't remember, but he remembers that the director of this film is Soderbergh.This director has made two films this year, one film seems to be able to send the big-mouthed beauty Julia Roberts to the Oscar for Best Actress in March, and the other film "Drug Network" Well, it can win the best director award.From this perspective, Soderbergh is indeed a genius!

Spielberg did not like the film, and Jia Hongjian felt that there was nothing to criticize.Although Spielberg may have really misjudged, isn't it normal to misjudge?If the veterans in the industry can 100% avoid misjudgment, then how can there be such a thing as a dark horse in the world?Ball King Pele is also an old-timer in the industry, but when did this old man know for sure?He has always been uncertain!

Jia Hongjian didn't plan to do anything about it. Business investment is a process of chance.No matter how good the vision is, it can only guarantee that most of the opportunities can be seized, and it can't guarantee that all possible successes can be grasped. That is a god, not a human being!Both Katzenberg and Spielberg are professional professionals who can no longer be professional. It can be said that after the "Drug Network" became famous, I believe the two will definitely summarize and reflect. This is a professional An inevitable habit of people.Does Jia Hongjian still need to go up to give pointers and show off his sense of superiority?Of course not!Besides, if he, Jia Hongjian, went up to show off his sense of superiority, besides being able to enjoy himself now, what would be the benefit?Is it necessary to make generals who can "fight" on their own into obedient ones, and Jia Hongjian said that they would not dare to go west as followers if they went east?

Jia Hongjian had always thought about turning the cadres in Huaxia Hi-Tech into "Monkey Kings" instead of "Zhu Bajie", and he also hoped that they could decide the company's direction without him as the boss.In this way, Jia Hongjian can continue to have dividend income after he retires, right?Under such circumstances, how could he try to interfere with the professionals on the DreamWorks side?In fact, he wished that these people could make their own judgments without referring to his opinion, Jia Hongjian!

On December 12nd, "Beauty Undercover" also began to be released. This film can also be translated into "Secret Agent Belle". The production cost of the film itself is 22 million US dollars, which is similar to "Drug Network", but It is the qualification to have a large-scale public screening as soon as it is released.A total of 4500 theaters are not the most top-notch, and there are not 2668 theaters, but it can be regarded as a large-scale screening.As for the box office in the first week, the total box office was just over 3000 million. Such a result is of course mediocre, so it can only be ranked fifth in the first week of release.Although it seems that the box office of 1000 million in a week can be assigned to the fifth place, which means that the overall situation should not be strong, but the problem is that this is the result obtained during the most competitive period. It seems that the fifth place only has a box office of 1000 million. , but the box office gap between the top few is very big!Because it ranks fifth at the box office, it only accounts for 9.5% of the box office for the whole week!

Then, on December 12th, an acquaintance's movie came out—a Matt Damon movie finally came out.This movie is not the "Good Will Hunting" that Matt Damon and his good friend Ben Affleck turned to DreamWorks to make, and that movie had been released earlier, and the box office was not bad.The name of the movie he released this time is "Spiritual Horse", and the literal translation is "All Those Beautiful Horses".This article, generally speaking, is a literary film with a western background. It is about the role of the mother played by Matt Damon. sold.But the sale of the farm made Matt Damon confused. He recorded his growth process from childhood to adulthood on the farm. His childhood ideal was to grow up and inherit the farm. But now, the purpose of life is gone, and the farm is sold. up.So he traveled and ventured around with his friends, wandering around the ends of the earth, and finally found a farm, and then worked as a cowboy on the farm to herd horses and cows, and finally lived the life he dreamed of when he was a child, and even fell in love with the farmer's daughter In the end, who knows, something happened to him. In the process of self-defense, he accidentally killed someone, and was arrested in the name of murder.

How can such a film be artistic enough?And what about the effect of this film?A film with an investment of 700 million yuan is higher than "Secret Agent", but only 1483 movie theaters showed it!Then the opening weekend box office was only 130 million at the box office!That's right, only 130 million!And such a box office can be said to be a real loss!And you will lose a lot! With a box office of 130 million at the premiere weekend, it would be good to have a box office of 1000 million when it finally goes offline. It is worth 2000 million, but the investment is more than 5000 million!I can't earn it back no matter what!

"It's a good thing we weren't included, otherwise I really don't know what the box office will be in the first week..." Ye Jing repeated what she said two days ago.That's right, seeing Matt Damon's results, Ye Jing finally understood what kind of competitive environment the Christmas schedule is!Logically speaking, this Matt Damon film is also a literary film. In terms of genre, it is similar to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", except that one is a western film and the other is a martial arts film. Both are unique to the two countries.Americans are as familiar with Western films as Chinese are with martial arts films.Such a familiar subject matter is so unpopular in front of Americans, so martial arts films must be particularly pleasing in front of foreigners?Don't forget, the core story of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a very helpless story!

At least Ye Jing doesn't have much confidence in this... (to be continued...)
