The Liar Who Invaded the Entertainment Industry

"CIA? Are you sure, the people of the CIA took Samuel?"

After receiving Shi Hao's call, Mai Xiaoyu couldn't believe his ears. (.有.)? (.意.)? (.思.)? (.书.)? (.院.)

Samuel spent money to organize black people and took to the streets to protest against "This Man Comes From Earth". He was instigated by him in order to expand the propaganda and influence of the film.

The movie "This Man From Earth", produced by Moe Ren and released by Hualong Pictures, was released in North America in mid-July.

This movie is not the kind of movie that is full of excitement and emotion, and it is easy for the audience to get cool. Because it is a soft science fiction, pure dialogue advances, the plot is slightly flat, although the hype in Cannes in May and June is quite lively, but the box office has been tepid since its release in North America.

300 pieces of screens were released at the same time, with a box office of more than 2 million in the first weekend, and the average single piece of screens was less than US$8,000 on weekends.

This result is quite good for domestic films released overseas.

Considering both the production and distribution costs of the movie and the way the American theaters are divided, the box office score of more than 2 million in the first weekend has already ensured that Moe and Hualong Pictures can easily recover all investment costs through the box office, and there are benefits. .

Considering the video tape market, the expected return on investment for this movie with an investment of tens of thousands of dollars may be quite amazing.

But Mai Xiaoyu was not satisfied.

The United States is the world's largest film holding country. "This Man Comes From Earth" will be released in North America first, and will be released in other countries a month later. The rate, intensity and scale of other countries will be based on North American box office performance to a large extent.

It can be said that the box office performance of North America will have a direct impact on the box office of other countries.

In his plan, this movie is a super big bait. If it doesn't show super temptation and temptation, how can a super big fish be hooked?

Therefore, North America's box office performance must reach an astonishing height to ensure that the global box office is even more amazing. He is absolutely unsatisfied with a global box office of 70 to 80 million US dollars like "Fatal ID".

Faced with the inherent shortcomings of "This Man From Earth", the only solution is to do something.

In view of the characteristics of the United States, Mai Xiaoyu decided to hire Samuel and his team to organize black demonstrations to increase the popularity and influence of the film.

The United States does not yet have a federal law specifically applicable to demonstrations and assemblies, but all states have basically formulated relevant laws and regulations, which restrict the location, time, form, purpose, actual effect and social impact of demonstrations and demonstrations. .

The general principle is that an application must be submitted to the authorities before the demonstration.

Different states have different regulations on parades. Los Angeles only needs to apply 36 hours in advance to obtain a demonstration permit.

When applying, it is necessary to clarify the person in charge of the demonstration and to pay a certain amount of security deposit. If the parade damaged public facilities during the demonstration, I'm sorry, you have to compensate.

It is not difficult to apply for a demonstration permit, as long as it is peaceful and non-violent, it can be approved procedurally. To put it bluntly, the significance of applying for permission is that the police will have sufficient preparations to protect the safety of the demonstrators and order on the scene.

U.S. demonstrations have various themes, and most of them use demonstrations to advocate their own rights. For example, medical issues, education issues, AIDS relief, anti-gay discrimination, anti-war, appeals to protect animals, environmental protection, punishment of justice, reduction of military spending, withdrawal of troops, impeachment of the president, and so on.

The theme of the parade organized by Samuel was to boycott the movie "This Man Comes From Earth", so it was easy to pass. And it doesn’t cost much. You pay per person. The number is limited to about a hundred people. Try to be all blacks. Every parade will cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Not much money, but the effect is good.

First, the movie itself has topical attributes.

This is a Huaxia movie, invested by Huaxia Film Company, directed by Huaxia, and written by Huaxia; but all the actors are American actors, and all the shooting and shooting work is done in the United States; and the content of the film involves the birth of Christianity and the history of Jesus.

Is this a pure movie?

Is there any official China shadow behind it?

Can it represent the official attitude of China to Christianity?

These sensitive issues linked to politics were made a big fuss by some European media that have been professionally hacking China for 20 years at the Cannes Film Festival in May and June this year. Nowadays, when the film is released in the United States, it has naturally attracted the attention of the American media.

Blacks marching and demonstrating to boycott movies is a good publicity stunt that the media will not miss.

As for whether news reports are praise or derogation, it doesn't matter, what you want is fame and popularity!

Some media went online, saying that this movie was a conspiracy by Chinese people, just to fool some curious Americans into the theater to buy tickets and watch the movie, and contribute to the box office.

The second is the antagonism between American whites and blacks.

Just as it has always advertised democracy and freedom, the United States has always advertised that there is no racial discrimination in the country, but the antagonism between whites and blacks can be seen by blind people.

American traditional culture believes that only inferior and disadvantaged nations don't care about bloodliness, and this is the principle of "famous".

According to this principle: for whites, as long as your ancestors have a little non-white descent, then you are not considered white; for blacks, as long as you have a little black descent, then you are black.

Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Hoddle was the first black man to hold this position. Even in a high position, he had to warn his 17-year-old child not to go out late at night, because he would not know what would happen if he encountered the police.

Because you are black, in front of the white police, "My dad is Li Gang" does not work well.

"Black" and "white" are distinct!

This is America.

A commodity, from a car to a toy, if blacks buy and use more, may lose white customers; a school with a high proportion of black students is likely to cause white students to transfer collectively; a newly opened community, If it is pre-sold to several blacks, it may be protested by pre-purchased whites.

This is all considered good. There are still some extreme whites in the United States.

Samuel organized black demonstrations to protest against the boycott of the movie "This Man Comes From Earth", which may cause these white Americans to enter the theater to watch the movie, and then spontaneously promote the movie, and promote the ideological and connotation of the movie in the white circle of friends. Sex, with a mocking tone, proves that blacks are born with low IQ.

Uh...do you think no white people would do this?

Money can make ghosts go ahead!

Mai Xiaoyu can buy black people, and Shi Hao can also find someone to buy white people!

In fact, Hualong Pictures only cleared part of the American media, and Shi Hao had also confiscated whites.

The black-and-white antagonism in the United States is high, and shootings between people of different skin colors occur frequently. To use a movie to ridicule and humiliate blacks, is it a big deal for extremist whites?

So the white people who do it are all spontaneous, or else the small black parade of hundreds of people can be targeted by the CIA?

In addition to the above two points, there is another very important point-Christianity flourishes in the United States.

There are many Christian denominations in the United States, such as Catholicism, Baptist Church, Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, etc., as well as non-denominational Christians. Regardless of the differences in the doctrines of various Christian denominations, there is one thing in common, and that is Christ Jesus.

This film conforms to the American spirit of "doubt everything", whether it is history, biology or religious beliefs, etc., it can be doubted. But after the Christians watch the movie, their hearts will be affected to some extent.

heresy!

Satan!

Devil!

Conspiracy of the Easterners!

Want to subvert our religious culture!

At first, similar accents only spread in a small area.

But Samuel took the lead in organizing a parade, thinking that the film blasphemed Christ and called for a boycott of the film. The nature is different.

No one knows which sect of Christianity the more than a hundred black people in the parade belong to, but everyone has done this. As a devout believer, if you don't say anything, are you embarrassed to face the Lord?

In the American religious media, the voices of Christians sounded.

At this moment, the various Christian denominations put aside their previous grievances and collectively condemned this heresy film from China.

The question is, do you have to go to the theater to watch it before you denounce it?

It is best to find the logical loopholes in the film, expose the heresy in public, and safeguard the glory of Jesus.

But the logical loopholes in movies are hard to find. If you can't find them after watching them, should you look at them more often?

Therefore, Mai Xiaoyu asked Samuel to hire black people to march, which is definitely a "more", "fast", "good" and "saving" way of propaganda with a very high cost-effectiveness.

but--

Things are out of control!

Just like Cannes in May and June, it's out of control again!

There are more and more voices of "China Threat Theory" in the media; opposition between whites and blacks is gradually rising; various Christian denominations claim "religious conspiracies"; the European professional black Chinese media has regained its head for two decades...

Because of a movie, because of a small parade of more than a hundred blacks, this summer, the American film scene is a bit chaotic, but it is not a bit chaotic in the United States, and demonstrations have erupted in many places.

The ultra-white activists organized the march, believing that their attitude towards the film showed the existence of the black community and lowered the force of the United States of America.

Black organizations marched to protest against white racial discrimination and demanded that their treatment be improved.

The various Christian denominations organize parades to spread the Lord’s gospel and eliminate the negative impact of heresy films.

Mexicans organized a march, chanting for naturalization and demanding that the US government recognize their legal US citizenship.

The Animal Protection Association organizes parades, gays and lesbians organize parades, environmental protection organizations parades, anti-war organizations parades...Multiple groups took the opportunity to organize parades, claim their rights and ask for resolution.

Most of the demonstrations have nothing to do with the movie, but this chaos originated from a movie-"This Man Comes From Earth".

Can movies have such power?

Don't be kidding, okay!

They are all old drivers, who doesn't know who!

Only if it is linked to politics can it cause riots!

In this situation, can the CIA not intervene?

The CIA is one of the three major intelligence agencies in the United States. In the US intelligence system, it is the only independent intelligence agency, which shows the importance of this agency in the United States.

The involvement of the CIA also shows how much the United States attaches importance to this matter.

U.S. officials have all taken notes to the Chinese Embassy in the U.S. Isn't it enough attention?

However, the Chinese Embassy in the United States stated that we do not understand.

You said "This man comes from the earth"?

That is a movie.

Movies know no borders!

...

Every time Samuel organized a parade, Mai Xiaoyu would ask Shi Hao to send someone to supervise it.

There is no way, the irreconcilable black-and-white contradiction, the responsibility is not entirely on the white people, and the black people themselves have their own problems.

For example, the laziness of the blacks at the bottom, Nima collects money and marches, and can sneak to smoke dama when they walk halfway. Isn't that lazy?

When the CIA's people showed their credentials and took Samuel away, the people sent by Shi Hao saw it clearly and took photos!

After quietly listening to Shi Hao's narration, Mai Xiaoyu smacked his lips: "I'm rubbing it, is this being used as a gun again?"

That's not it!

Anything, once linked to politics, can easily get out of control.

This was the case in Cannes, and this time it was obvious that someone...well, it should be said that there were external forces. Through "This Man Comes From Earth" and Mai Xiaoyu's propaganda method of demonstrations, fishing in troubled waters helped to make things bigger!

I said, why hasn't "This Man Comes From Earth" been reported in China...

Mai Xiaoyu didn't care or care about the purpose of those forces.

If you get out of control, let's get out of control, and it's not that you haven't lost control before; when you're a gunman, just be a gunman. Anyway, the box office is up!

Since Samuel started organizing black protests, the box office of "This Man Comes From Earth" has been soaring. By the end of July, it was released for more than two weeks. The screen count exceeded 1,300 yuan, and the box office had exceeded 50 million US dollars.

At this rate, when the movie goes offline, it shouldn’t be a big problem for the North American box office to exceed 100 million yuan~www.readwn.com~ As for the others...there is the United States. Is Chaos related to him for half a dime?

Mai Xiaoyu doesn't care, Shi Hao can't care less, Hualong Pictures is an American company founded by Huaxia people!

"Mr. Mai, what do you do next? Do you want to stop?"

Um?

Mai Xiaoyu frowned, meditated for half a minute, and said: "Why do you want to stop? Some people use me as a gun. If I don't earn more box office, that would not be a disadvantage."

"It's too messy now. It's seriously out of your plan. Even the CIA has stepped in."

really!

Mai Xiaoyu had a judgment in his heart: "I just want to make more money at the box office. I didn't expect things to develop to the present stage. I also want to stop, but now to stop, doesn't it mean that our motives are not pure?"

"what do you mean?"

"Go on. It doesn't matter if Samuel is captured by the CIA. I can find someone else. If someone insists on taking my boat, I can't refuse. I can't even charge for the ticket, right? That way, wait until the box office exceeds the box office. 80 million, I will stop."

At the end of the call, Shi Hao looked at the two white men in front of him and shrugged: "You have heard that we are the most innocent in this matter. It is just a means of propaganda for the movie, and the consequences are not what we wanted. "

"If it's innocent, you don't count it. We, the CIA, will investigate it ourselves."

"Then please do it. But I suggest you, it is best to understand the background of our Hualong Pictures, and don't think about letting Hualong Pictures take the blame for your incompetence."

"Are you threatening?"

"No, it's a reminder."

After the CIA people left, Shi Hao let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Mai Xiaoyu quickly understood his suggestion. At the same time, he was a little skeptical: Could his background be related to the domestic department?

At the same time, Mai Xiaoyu was also feeling: There are so many political gangsters...
