Chapter 458: Red Cliff breaks 23 million! Liu Xiang withdraws from the competition! ()

The work arrangements in August were intermittent.

Preparations for the movie "Inception" have officially started.

The preparation of "Inception" was more complicated than previous films. The casting spanned multiple countries, and the filming was also done in Thailand.

After being trained in many plays, Shen Santong only needs to focus on the progress, and leave the specific execution to the team.

He revised the script of "Inception" again.

Major events will change the audience's mentality. The most typical example is that millions of people died, but the United States did not blink an eye, leading to the bankruptcy of Hollywood narrative.

Shen Santong believes that after the Olympics, the audience should want to further integrate into the world, have an open and enthusiastic attitude, and look at the world with equal eyes.

Of course, imagination alone is not enough.

Shen Santong asked the team to conduct a survey on the audience's mentality.

The formal work will be gradually launched in September.

"Inception" will probably start filming in October.

8 month 11 day.

on Monday.

"Red Cliff" box office exceeded 700 million, setting a new record.

However, the focus is all on the Olympics, which is attracting the attention of the whole country. Coupled with the deliberate disregard of some media, it feels quite calm.

However, for the industry, it is quite exaggerated!
It's also this day.

Shen Santong raised his stake in Jiahe again and acquired 6% of the scattered shares.

However, the Zou family held on to the price of 250 million, and with the recovery of the U.S. stock market, they felt more confident and were not in a hurry.

After the Olympics, the U.S. stock market came out of the low point in mid-July and returned to its high point.

Shen Santong was even less anxious.

With malicious intentions, the United States took advantage of the Olympics to collude with the University of Tokyo, obtained promises to buy U.S. bonds, and began to burst the subprime mortgage bubble.

This wave of high point is for the internal evacuation of the American Stars and Stripes.

Wu Yusen became active again.

The screening of Shen Santong's "Red Cliff" was postponed, and Wu Yusen also applied for an extension.

They put up the slogan "How shocking is the tasting" and tried every means to increase the box office to 200 million.

The movie failed, the investment made a profit.

The U.S. stock market has emerged from its predicament just as Wu Yusen had hoped.

Many people around me are talking about the U.S. stock market reaching its historical bottom, and it will be too late if you don’t buy in now.

Wu Yusen looked at the profitable account and immediately filled his position.

When Shen Santong received Li Jiaxin's call, he looked strange: "Are there so many people speculating in stocks and real estate in your area?"

After chatting, I learned from Li Jiaxin that many celebrities in Hong Kong are speculating in real estate and stocks and are very gambling.

Li Jiaxin said: "Now everyone is talking about the East Asian Games increasing its holdings of U.S. debt on a large scale. Do you think I should increase my holdings of U.S. stocks?"

Shen Santong said calmly, "You decide for yourself. I always play with very little money. Winning or losing should not affect my life."

Li Jiaxin asked: "Your account with hundreds of millions of dollars is just for fun?"

Shen Santong really underestimated the charm of wealth to the people of Hong Kong Island. He smiled and said, "It doesn't affect my life anyway."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Santong sighed that reality is a repetition of history, which is a very good statement.

There are all kinds of rumors and sentiments in Hong Kong, urging people to buy U.S. stocks.

This is a similar method to the later bottom-fishing in Japanese stocks, attracting people to take over before the stock crashes.

As for Li Jiaxin, he just responded normally without any reminder.

Just kidding, after a short sleep, he leaked information worth a fortune. Shen Santong is definitely not stupid.

Keep watching the Olympics.

The opening ceremony was very successful.

There is one aspect that can illustrate the extent of success.

After the opening ceremony, some media tried their best to find a point of criticism, but they couldn't find one.

However, there are many voices online questioning whether it is appropriate to use "You and Me" as the theme song.

Some media outlets ignored it.

Music director Chen Qigang is a Chinese from China. He was sent abroad as a government-sponsored student in 83. He is a Chinese from China.

There was only one government-sponsored place that year, and it was given to him.

He didn't come back after graduation, tore up the agreement, and became a Japanese citizen.

Some media outlets sympathize with and appreciate such people and do not pick on them.

It wasn't until the third day after the opening ceremony that a point was found.

Lip sync!

9-year-old girl Lin Miaoke was caught up in a lip-syncing scandal at the Olympic opening ceremony.

Who broke the news about this?
It was Chen Qigang.

That’s right, it was the person who was both a contestant and a judge, and chose “You and Me” as the theme song.

Really shameless.

The public questioned the rationality of the theme song.

This thing threw the little girl out.

Some media outlets have been frantically exposing the girl Lin Miaoke online, and Lin Miaoke has been labeled as someone who "stole a life".

All kinds of doubts and abuses were aimed at cursing people to death. Although Shen Santong knew some of the media's morals, he still overestimated their bottom line.

If Lin Miaoke were ten years older, she might be the second Liu Xuezhou.

This kind of thing should not be hyped up, and it is not worth hyping up.

Shen Santong responded to this online: "Let's talk about the division of labor between Lin Miaoke and Yang Peiyi from the director's perspective."

“This arrangement is for the best effect.”

"In the Olympics, backup was used in many links, and the strategy of A and B roles was also adopted when selecting young actors."

"In addition to the two young actors Lin Miaoke and Yang Peiyi taking the lead in singing, the kite-flying project was also completed by two girls."

"Lin Miaoke has an outstanding appearance, but she has always had problems with pitch when singing. She is easily out of tune during formal performances because of nervousness."

"Yang Peiyi has an outstanding voice, but she is in the process of changing her teeth. Her appearance is not as outstanding as Lin Miaoke's."

“So we chose to combine the advantages of both of them, with Yang Peiyi’s voice playing in the background and Lin Miaoke performing and singing on the stage.”

"This matter is beneficial to both of them."

"Lin Miaoke showed her image and received the most attention from the public."

"Yang Peiyi is not bad either. She showed off her voice and the industry will pay close attention to her. She sang the opening song for the Olympics, which is a very good qualification."

“It’s a very good life experience for both kids.”

"The most annoying thing about this matter is the media. Just introduce little Yang to everyone."

"Why did you stir up confrontation and drag two little kids into this whirlpool of public opinion, ruining a good thing?"

"Isn't this a win-win cooperation? We have delivered the best performance results."

"If it were two foreign kids, some media outlets like Yilin and Reader would write a hundred articles, praising how they worked together and demonstrated the spirit of xx."

"Just because they are Chinese children, it becomes a bad thing. There must be a bad person."

"You can scold Lao Mouzi, but he is an adult. He was the one who didn't let the kid play because he was changing his teeth."

"Can you please have some shame to expose a ten-year-old kid online who knows nothing?"

"You keep talking about love and great love, but how come you don't have any love for a little kid?"

"It's still a great day for the Olympics, but can some media and influencers have some basic moral standards?"

"What kind of shady dealings are you talking about? Does the girl have a musical talent at home? Can she legally and legally use her own slow and lyrical song as the theme song? Can she tear up the study abroad agreement and still do what she wants?"

Shen Santong is not afraid of offending some media or people.

The influence is not exaggerated, just bring the topic over.

Some media feel uncomfortable if we don't include something dark on such a happy occasion.

Just ask.

If it were a foreign kid working together, would you find fault with them or praise them?

If you really want to find fault, you can question the theme song. What's the point of bringing two little girls into this?
One stone caused a thousand ripples, and blogging celebrities criticized Shen Santong on another platform for "singing praises", "being a running dog", and "betraying the literary and artistic community".

There was no need for Shen Santong to come out, his fans would just rush over.

Shen Santong was too lazy to even look at the media and went to watch the Olympics.

The Olympics have huge ratings.

CCTV's average viewership for the whole day was 6.86%, an increase of 53% over the Athens Olympics.

The audience size for volleyball, basketball, table tennis, diving, gymnastics, badminton, weightlifting, football, track and field and other events exceeds 7 million.

Among them, the audience size of volleyball, basketball and table tennis exceeds 8 million.

They are 9.85 million, 8.94 million and 8.63 million respectively.

They account for 80.5%, 73.1% and 70.5% of the total television population in the country.

The popularity of TV series and movies was all siphoned off by the Olympics, and the overall film market also plummeted. There were only five new movies released in August.

8 month 18 day.

Liu Xiang withdrew from the competition.

It only appeared at the Bird's Nest for 35 minutes before hastily bidding farewell to the Beijing Olympics.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Xiang was exposed by some media and big Vs online, which triggered public opinion online.

They simply ignored the fact that Liu Xiang was just an athlete and had no right to decide whether to play or when to withdraw from the competition.

The Beijing Olympics are just the beginning.

After three years of treatment and recovery, Liu Xiang's performance is close to his personal best again.

In June 12, at the Grand Prix in Eugene, USA, Liu Xiang ran 6 seconds in extremely strong winds, which was faster than his own world record.

However, before the London Olympics, due to increasing training intensity, foot injuries struck again.

It was just such a coincidence.

After Liu Xiang won the gold medal in Athens in 04, he received a lot of "concern" but coincidentally suffered injuries at two consecutive Olympic Games.

Another similar coincidence is that Sun Yang reached the top in London in 12, winning the 400 freestyle and the 1500 freestyle.

At the 16 Rio Olympics, at the end of January, he fractured the fifth metatarsal of his right foot while training in Australia. Conservative treatment required six weeks to heal.

At the end of May, the fifth metatarsal, which I thought had recovered, not only did not heal completely, but the fourth metatarsal also had a "fatigue fracture"

Sun Yang competed despite being ill and won the 200m freestyle again.

Then there was the doping incident, which prevented him from participating in both the Japanese and Chinese Olympics.

Sun Yang and Liu Xiang are so similar, except that after being "cared for" in 16, Sun Yang still won the championship despite being ill.

We can't just "care" about training, we also need to use "drug testing" to give Sun Yang a heavy blow.

Who can say that their experiences have nothing to do with their dominance in the United States or in areas where white people have strengths?
