This star is going to the moon

Chapter 414 The Americans are actually using cotton picking as a pretext to judge the Chinese?

Wow, Avatar is being re-released, and so many people are watching it.

Indeed, predictions suggest this re-release could gross over 3 million yuan at the domestic box office.

That's really awesome, much better than that idiotic movie "The Yin-Yang Master".

[Haha, let's not embarrass ourselves by bringing up "The Yin-Yang Master." I'm even embarrassed to call it a domestic film, and I wonder when we'll have a domestic film that achieves the box office success of "Avatar"?]

[Reached? I'd be overjoyed just to get close to that!]

This is extremely difficult. After all, the US strictly restricts the release of our films in North America, and Hollywood also has significant control over cinemas in other countries. How can one country fight against the entire world?

Indeed, Hollywood blockbusters typically open in over 4000 theaters in North America, while our top-grossing domestic film, "The Wandering Earth," only received a few dozen or a hundred theaters on its North American opening day. How can they compete like that?

Sigh, I still remember the news about domestic cinemas giving Marvel movies 80% of their screenings. When will our domestic films receive that kind of treatment in North America?

That's because your country's films have a narrow perspective and lack a global viewpoint, so only your country's people watch them. Foreigners simply don't watch films with such a small scope.

[What the hell?! Where did this idiot come from?]

Brothers, let's take it!

In this life, Lao Zhong is otherwise similar to the previous one, with at most a 10% change.

However, because manned spaceflight is so extraordinary, not only has it surpassed the previous era by 100%, but it has also taken a significant lead over the Americans in this era. Therefore, Chinese netizens are more confident when faced with the sarcastic remarks of the colonists.

Of course, its attack power was also sufficient, and it quickly got that idiot banned.

However, the difficulty for domestically produced films to achieve success in the global film market is indeed a problem.

Of course, this is not to say that Chinese films are "narrow-minded" or "lacking in vision." It's just that the United States holds the hegemony in the world's entertainment industry, which allows them to directly define Chinese films as "narrow-minded" or "lacking in vision."

In addition, the US engages in "trade protectionism" and leads its allies to block Chinese films, so Chinese films rely on themselves for 95% of their box office revenue.

I really don't know when this situation will improve.
Without improving this situation, how can the box office of a single country compete with the global box office of "Avatar," or even the global box office after multiple re-releases?
As both are science fiction films, many people expect the entire Wandering Earth series to surpass Avatar.

But when I think about how Avatar 2 is already in production, I feel that this comparison is just self-comforting.

However, people soon stopped discussing this because another big scandal broke out in the entertainment industry.

Famous actress Wang Ziwen participated in the dating show "Heartbeat Again" as an unmarried woman, and then directly confessed her feelings to a guy she got along with very well on the show.

“What I do might be much crazier than what you do. As the rumors say, I do have a child, and he is already 7 years old.”

"There's something I want to say, because many friends, fans, and viewers think I'm secretly married, but I'm not."

The boy was completely stunned, and then went to the restroom alone to process the information.

At this point, the live chat exploded.

After the boy came out, he gave Wang Ziwen a big hug: "Thank you for trusting me. I just want to tell you that I care about you. I don't think it's a big deal, so I won't treat you differently."

The barrage exploded again.

Although Wang Ziwen is over thirty years old, many people still remember her as the "Qu Xiaoxiao" from "Ode to Joy," a character who is mischievous yet strong-willed.

They assumed the child's situation was fake news.

So now she's admitting that not only is the child real, but it was even a child born out of wedlock?!

Because this was so sensational, many people thought it was just a publicity stunt.

After all, the episode of "Fall in Love Again" became incredibly popular after this incident was exposed, trending on several hot search lists.

[Damn, what's going on this year? How many times has this happened with "I have a child"?]

[This entertainment industry is really... I don't know what to say.] [Exactly, I always believed she was single, and I thought the previous incident about the child was fake news, but today I got a real shock.]

"Seriously, buddy, you're actually having illusions?"

Sigh, my requirements for my favorite celebrity are very low now. As long as he doesn't do drugs or evade taxes, that's fine. He's not young anymore, and it's normal for him to date and get married. I just hope he doesn't surprise me with something.

Actually, the Chinese entertainment industry is much better than its Western counterparts. The things they do are far more elaborate and scandalous. Many of the scandals that have rocked the Chinese entertainment industry are nothing compared to what Hollywood stars go through.

[Well, that's what they say, but can't we stop comparing how bad it is?]

[Exactly, if you don't compare the good and only the bad, people will think the entertainment industry is a den of scum.]

Ah, isn't that right?

[Of course not! Look at Lu Yun! Look at Wang Baoqiang!]

Well, there are still good people in the entertainment industry, so let's hope other celebrities will follow their example...

The entertainment industry is always noisy and bustling, but it's still too insignificant compared to real national affairs.

A few days later, during the finale of the TV series "The Age of Awakening," when people realized how hard-won today's peace and dignity were, the Americans suddenly went crazy.

After a few fat-headed traitors smeared China for several years, the United States suddenly passed a congressional ban to prevent the import of border cotton and other cotton products from China.

They claimed that the Lao-Chinese forced labor during cotton picking, even whipping the workers, severely damaging their bodies and trampling on their dignity.

Chinese netizens who saw this were stunned.

[Holy crap, where did I end up? Is this still China?]

I'm wondering the same thing. Why are Americans talking about themselves?

[The timeline is wrong too; it's the 21st century, not the 18th or 19th.]

[Without a doubt, since the Americans are throwing mud at us like this, it must be something they've done, or are still doing...]

Regardless of what Chinese netizens say, foreign governments and companies that believed the smears spread by the US have begun to boycott Chinese cotton.

The first country to announce a suspension of imports was that ridiculous country that claims to be "permanently neutral".

Other brands, such as H&M and Double Hook, have also stated in their announcements that they will stop using cotton from China.

After filming for a day, Lu Yun saw these news reports. He wasn't tired at first, but seeing these reports made him feel mentally exhausted.

"The Chinese are also miserable. They are often out of place in this world because they are not perverted enough, and can only stay on the same planet as these stupid countries."

To solve this situation, the approach directly relevant to Lu Yun is to vigorously develop aerospace technology and then move the entire country out of Earth.

Whether it's going to Mars or the Moon, as long as we stay away from those stupid countries, that's fine.

The path indirectly related to Lu Yun is for China to develop with all its might until it becomes more powerful than the US and more powerful than all other countries combined, so that other countries will not dare to show their teeth again.

They didn't even dare to whisper.

Of course, this path is actually easier than the aerospace path.

Earth is the home of all mankind, so naturally it is also the home of the Chinese. Why should we leave?
Leaving our beautiful Earth to those idiots is a real waste of such a beautiful landscape.

Let's focus on developing it.

Technology is the primary productive force!
Therefore, Lu Yun is already contributing to the country's development.
