Chapter 349 Jia Ming's troubles
At this moment, Jia Ming was sitting in his office, irritable and restless.
Suddenly, his partner, Wang Sisi, director of marketing department of Vanida Films, rushed in and shouted excitedly:
"Director Jia, do you know that our "Dog Yue Lian" has achieved a box office of 710 million in just one week. The company and the investors are very satisfied. Now you have made a lot of money. You have become the most profitable director in our company. Moreover, Director Jia, you have also invested in "Dog Yue Lian" this time. Now, my sister-in-law should reward you well!"
Jia Ming glanced at Wang Sisi irritably and said impatiently: "Okay, a celebration banquet will be held later. If you drink a few more drinks, I won't go."
Wang Sisi was stunned, then thought of something, and smiled and said, "Director Jia, I'm a little irritable! Is it because of "A Chinese Odyssey"?"
Jia Ming sighed and said angrily:
"What do you think? Have you forgotten my bet with Nan Li? Now the box office of "A Chinese Odyssey" is 1.59 billion, which is more than twice that of "Demon Moon Love". You said that I am still in the mood to eat and drink now. Making money is a trivial matter. Your brother, I will run around the Demon City Tower. "
Wang Sisi spread her hands and expressed her understanding. This is called "God's evil can be forgiven", but he can't live if he commits evil.
However, he dared not say this. He also watched "A Chinese Odyssey". From the perspective of a filmmaker, it is a rare and good movie, a classic work that has been passed down forever.
He also believed that Jia Ming must have read it, and he had read it more than once.
That's right, Jia Ming secretly watched the movie "A Chinese Odyssey" more than a dozen times. It was just after watching it that he felt frustrated and powerless.
Nan Li is simply a monster!
At a young age, you can make such a movie. How can you let these older generation filmmakers live?
Anyway, I have to admit that he lost!
He was convinced, but he still didn't want to admit it, because once he admitted it, he would have to run away! He couldn't afford to lose this person.
At this time, Wang Sisi suddenly had an idea and pulled Jia Ming and said quietly:
"Director Jia, you see, Nan Li's movie is very successful and has a good box office, but it may not be recognized by the orthodox academic community. We cannot compare with him in the entertainment industry, but we can incite the cultural and academic communities to discredit him and suppress him!"
When Jia Ming heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked thoughtfully: "You can talk about it in detail."
Wang Sisi said:
"Look, "Journey to the West" is a great classical work in our country. What is Nan Li's "Journey to the West"? A funny entertainment commercial film. A great wizard like Xuanzang has become such a long-winded look. Guanyin Master was also slandered like this. You say that Sun Wukong is in love is an insult to classic culture! We can incite academic authority. Anyway, these people are idle and have nothing to do. They can smear Nan Li, and they can also make entertainment headlines, and become famous by the way!"
Depend on!
Jia Ming cursed in his heart, his thoughts suddenly became clear, and he looked at Wang Sisi with a smirk and said, "You guys are okay. You don't have any advantages in your daily life. You have a stomach full of bad water. Not bad, not bad. Your idea is really feasible."
Do it as you say it!
After Jia Ming sent Wang Sisi away, he began to mobilize all his relationship network. He also had many connections and soon contacted many academic authorities, as well as staff from the Journey to the West Research Committee, and people from the Classical Culture Research Center.
These people are very interested in his views and said that they will definitely pursue this matter.
But unexpectedly, the Buddhist art world expressed silence.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess. Buddhism emphasizes indifference in fame and fortune. Movies are movies, and scriptures are scriptures.
How can we confuse it? Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will not mind the appearance of sentient beings. How can we not know that "American Journey to the West" is an alternative promotion for Buddhist culture!
I can only say that all the four elements of monks are empty and they are very open to all this.
However, people in the secular world may not be able to see it openly if they are obsessed with profit.
...
...
For several days, the box office of "A Chinese Odyssey" still crushed in all aspects and shocked everyone's attention.
"The Demon Moon Love" has been defeated, and many people are ready to yell, "Jia Mingguo is running."
At this moment, Nan Li had already rushed to Xiangcheng. He invested heavily in the special effects film team in Hollywood, and then personally selected a group of professional scientific and technological talents from the world technology to form a special effects production team of "Ghost Blows Out the Light and Finds Dragon"!
The reason why I hired the Hollywood production team is because they have been famous internationally for so many years and must be better than others. However, Hollywood people do not understand the culture of Dahua. Nanli wants to create an original tomb robber film with Dahua characteristics.
In fact, the movie "Ghost Blows Out the Light" in the previous life was starring Chen Kun, Huang Bo, Shu Qi and Xia Yu. These people are all acting, and the special effects and plot can be said to be perfect, but they lack the characteristics of Dahua.
Therefore, Nan Li plans to recreate each special scene, such as the scene in the tomb robbery, and to show some of the strange intentions of Dahua as much as possible.
In fact, Westerners are even more interested in Dahua's culture than Dahua's own people.
Nan Li personally rushed to Xiangcheng this time to use his own experience to open the door to the European and American markets with an unprecedented genre film "Ghost Blows Out the Light and Finds Dragon"!
Not only is the largest investment scale, but the special effects must be done the best.
...
However, the box office competition in the mainland is still underway. Just in the third week of the release of "American Journey", there were voices criticizing "American Journey" on newspapers, Internet and TV programs in various parts of Dahua.
Many of them are experts and scholars with various strange titles.
For example,
A middle-aged uncle who was given the title of "Journey to the West Cultural Communication Expert, Director of Wu Cheng'en Research Institute" publicly questioned in a program:
"The "American Journey to the West" is simply a blasphemy to traditional culture, so I say that modern people are too impetuous. "Journey to the West" is a classic of popular novels in my country. Xuanzang is a heroic and even more respectable master. But what has been made by "The "American Journey to the West"? It's a mess! I tell you, I have never watched "American Journey to the West" at all. When I hear the name of this kind of film, I don't want to watch it..."
The middle-aged uncle talked a lot about "bara" there, and the host next to him sat there awkwardly, almost crying: Brother, have you not seen it? You have not seen it, just say terrible!
There is another Wu De who claims to be the 188th generation descendant of Wu Cheng'en, who jumped out and pointed at Nan Li and cursed:
Chapter completed!
