New Age Artists

Chapter 630 Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"The Lost Tomb" swept the August film market, and it will kill any god that stands in its way!
Even Hollywood blockbusters are useless!

What’s even more exaggerated is that “The Black Panther”, which has been released for more than a month, still has a box office of tens of millions, ranking second.

Judging from all the signs, Shen Santong is indeed going to retire, and the audience flocked to the cinema with mixed feelings.

The huge output and the reputation accumulated over the years have enabled Shen Santong to accumulate a huge number of fans.

The fan base spans multiple age groups.

If other directors, such as Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, said they would not shoot the film, the audience would feel a little sorry, but that's it.

Shen Santong's influence is different.

Of the thirteen films, almost every one of them topped the box office, topping the box office charts of the year, unrivaled even by Hollywood blockbusters.

The Three Great Emperors indeed dominated the world for eternity.

This achievement is inseparable from the support of the audience who bought tickets with real money.

Shen Santong’s supporters have a lot of voice online, but compared with the real feedback offline, it is actually very small.

What restricts Shen Santong's films is the level of infrastructure.

Wherever the cinema chain is built, Shen Santong's influence will expand.

This is also the reason why Shen Santong can release huge energy by retreating to advance. He is a person who can influence the fundamentals of society.

8 month 13 day.

First week box office results are out.

"The Lost Tomb" grossed over 3 million in the first three days of its domestic weekend!
unprecedented!

It broke the record of "The Thieves", with an average attendance of over 80 people per show.

Even more terrifying than "The Thieves"!
The core story of "The Magic Thieves" is the Eastern-style "rob the rich to help the poor" and "are there any kings, princes, generals or ministers of different species?", but on the surface it is not original.

"The Lost Tomb" is authentic both inside and out, with props that Shen Santong has polished over the years and scenes full of texture, which immediately set off the film market.

Even the movie theaters built in the 1980s were packed, and it was like returning to the beginning of the reform and opening up overnight, with people bringing their elderly and children to watch movies.

The box office on the first day was 2.7 million!
Saturday box office 3.1 million!
Sunday’s box office reversed the decline to 3.3 million!
Overseas box office exceeded US$8 million, RMB million!
I didn’t enter the Korean market, but some netizens petitioned that the Ancient City of Jingjue was a branch of the Dangun civilization.

I don't know where I found the pirated version.

The global box office totaled 1.7 billion.

In other words, the overseas box office and the domestic box office are almost one to one!

Real-time report from the 7 o'clock show, the title does not hide the fact that the oriental fantasy blockbuster has set off a global movie-watching craze!

Apart from other things, Shen Santong's movies have always been popular and presentable.

The movie "The Lost Tomb" is faithful to the original novel and even better than the original novel. It directly turned tomb robbery into a battle to protect national treasures, and there is no trace of tomb robbery.

National museums jointly promote science, CCTV's "Focus Interview" special report "New Thinking on Cultural Relics Protection", the Palace Museum specially set up a film and cultural relics comparison exhibition
It's not just support in the cultural field.

With such support and execution, there is a higher level organizing various activities under the heads of certain people.

If the "Shenzhen" incident had not occurred, with film as the sword, the cultural field would have ushered in an unprecedented situation.

Starting from the acquisition of Jiahe, Santong Entertainment has gradually integrated distribution in Southeast Asia and East Asia.

Then, with blockbuster movies such as "Lost in Thailand" and "Inception", variety shows such as "Running Man" and TV series such as "My Love from the Star", we will sort out the local distribution networks in Southeast Asia and East Asia and penetrate the entertainment market.

"Li Shimin" opened up the Western Regions and Central Asia, and "The Black Panther" opened up the Russian film market.

The overseas box office of "The Lost Tomb" was achieved based on past accumulation.

If Shen Santong can maintain his past output, his national influence can cover the past and Chinese films can also be spread there.

Even if some movies cannot enter the Japanese market, and simply cannot enter the Korean market, the fact that they are not released in theaters does not mean that people in both countries will not watch pirated copies.

The cultural influence is real.

It was not until the film negotiations at the beginning of the year that Shen Santong began to lay out his plans for Hollywood, and he also made a hole in Europe starting from Greece.

ready.

We move forward step by step. If everything goes well, the future will be so beautiful that you won’t even dare to imagine it.

With two more blockbusters, Chinese films will at least be able to compete with Hollywood within the scope of national influence.

This is an unimaginable situation.

However, the "anti-Shen" incident directly interrupted the development of Santong Entertainment, and Shen Santong had no choice but to retreat.

If the cultural field wasn't so useless and there were more important things to do, I would have wanted to kill some people.

However, all the support and honor that should be given have been given. If it were not for other concerns and Shen Santong's complicated private life, it is possible that he would have given another hand.

"The Mysterious City" is like a sharp sword, standing in the East and setting off a cultural storm.

For Centipede, this is more painful than the death of his parents.

The wailing continued.

Five stars rise from the east, good for China's arm guard, Empress Dowager Cixi's curse, and the battle of wits and courage between the mercenaries of the United States.
It's not just ordinary discomfort, it's really uncomfortable.

A blogger who calls himself "Civilization Observer" went crazy and posted a long article: "By grafting the Niya ruins onto the Qing Dynasty curse, director Shen Santong is insulting archaeology! The 'Five Stars Rising from the East Bring Good Luck to China' arm guard is a Han Dynasty artifact, what does it have to do with the late Qing Dynasty?"

A well-known film critic coined the theory of "nationalism chicken blood".

"Using the 'five stars' on the arm guard as a metaphor for the red flag is hijacking traditional culture for political propaganda!"

Some economists have released their "mathematical models".

"Ticket prices in second- and third-tier cities are lower than cost price. This is government subsidies to manipulate the market!"

The centipede and spider collectively forwarded the article "Beware of the Ancient City of Jingjue destroying the scientific spirit."

He said with great sorrow, "Using feudal curses to explain drug problems is no different from burning witches."

The overseas study big V’s defense was broken.

"I feel embarrassed for the mercenaries when I see them using a compass to measure the 'cursed energy field'!"

Tianya Forum was in an uproar.

"This is China using metaphysics to launch a cognitive war against the West! This is destroying our peaceful external relations! How can we do business if we offend everyone?"

There are centipedes and spiders posting on WeChat Moments late at night.

"Our thirty years of enlightenment have been destroyed in an instant! The march toward industrialization requires sacrifice. We have contributed our own strength to mankind and are honored to have participated in it. Why do we have to dwell on those things in modern history?"

The defense was broken.

In the theme of adventure and treasure hunting, Shen Santong insisted on visiting the Niya ruins and showing the armguard with the inscription "Five Stars Rising from the East, Bringing Good Luck to China".

It is not appropriate for the official to say things of a prophetic nature. Good things are good, but what if something bad happens?
Santong Entertainment is a private film and television company, Shen Santong is the director, and he made a theatrical movie that no one can find fault with.

To put it bluntly, it is just auspicious words. Dongda University does not need this certification for its development.

But it is inexplicably fitting and really makes people feel relaxed and at ease, and there is also a very magical feeling.

But the centipede spider felt uncomfortable everywhere.

The introduction of the movie was also changed from the original novel. It was not about making money by robbing tombs, but because the United States sent mercenaries to resolve the Qing Dynasty's curse on the West.

Hu Bayi and others participated in it as civilian forces, and it turned into a confrontation between the two camps of guarding the treasure and those who wanted to defend it.

Not to mention, the words "Five stars rise in the East, benefiting China" on the arm guard are connected to the real "Five-star Red Flag", and Shen Santong couldn't help but lick it.

Simply put, the setting of the Qing Dynasty curse is used to contrast the real-life drug problem in the United States, which directly touches on the theory of Western superiority that is often promoted by the Communist Party.

How dare you?
Why did Shen Santong make fun of the United States again and again? Why? Why did the box office remain high and the word of mouth exploded?

What's going on here?
Why does the scientific and critical nature of the film no longer hold true?

What about review?
Other movies don’t give it a try, but how can Shen Santong’s naked nationalism and anti-Americanism be given a try!
The spider was soon dumbfounded!
When this wave of rhythm started, there was no big centipede or spider following.

At most, they were sarcastic without naming anyone, and they didn't even dare to forward it.

Damn Lao Hu, he also wrote an article called "Five Stars Rising from the East, Crush the Knees of the Spiritual Colonizers".

What is wrong with this world? Everything is going backwards!

it is good!
Scared?

You have terrible ones!

Isn't it just the fear of being investigated?

At worst, just go in!
If it is for freedom, what can't be abandoned!

What are you afraid of?

Can't you see that Shen Santong is tearing down everything?

In the past, no one had achieved the cultural influence of Shen Santong. In the circle, whoever won a Western award was considered to have spread culture, and making a fool of oneself to please foreigners was also an achievement.

It doesn't feel right.

However, the culture is complicated and there are internal struggles, but the overall path is the same.

In addition to the external blockade and their internal coordination, even the good ones can’t get out.

It's obviously wrong, but no one can refute it.

But now Shen Santong is out. He didn't say anything, but he has been doing it.

Only through struggle can we cooperate better.

Only what you like is likely to be liked by others.

Only when you are strong will others respect you.

Human nature is universal.

Chinese capital is rising and starting to go overseas intensively. There is a lot to say about how it carries out external layout and whether capital has a motherland.

Centipede Spider is very upset. Let’s not talk about the deep-level game for now.

In terms of public opinion and culture, how can we allow Shen Santong to continue to exist!

Now Shen Santong has cleared himself out again.

Although he seems to be in retirement, he still has works published. The more successful Shen Santong is, the more difficult it is to define the "anti-Shen" incident.

Is this a debate within the cultural field?

Or is it a coordinated effort between internal and external forces to hunt down and strangle the cultural and entertainment industry?

The eyes of many centipedes and spiders turned red!

Shen Santong, you are being roasted on the fire, are you afraid? There are many people who are not afraid!
We must let the foreigners see how Shen Santong arranges them!
It doesn’t matter if “The Lost Tomb” is shown in art theaters, they can spread it!

The big communication campaign has started!
Across the ocean.

Hollywood.

Robert Iger was also angry. There are bad people in Hollywood!
Warner is a traitor!

Shen Santong is the enemy of "civilization", the enemy of Hollywood, and the enemy of Western narrative. This is a contradiction between the enemy and us!

That is our enemy, how can you, Warner, cooperate with him?

You can’t beat Disney seriously. Are you, Warner, colluding with foreign enemies?

Can't you see that this is a conspiracy of Santong Entertainment?
We have played with it before, isn’t it the one that gives Wan Da?
Can't you see that Shen Santong is replicating this method!
Can't you think about the bigger picture and make some sacrifices?

The Marvel Cinematic Universe didn't say that it forbids you to learn. You DC can be copy cats, so why do you have to collude with foreign enemies!

Shit Warner!

Warner is trying to bully others by relying on foreign powers!
Robert Iger immediately mobilized Disney Media, and Shen Santong's ratings of Marvel and DC were very sharp. Such a person could really create a new path for DC movies.

The glory of superheroes should belong to Disney alone!

Warner is no longer an ordinary Hollywood company, and it must strike hard!

Disney mobilizes media power to launch an all-out attack!
There is no need to pick up the rake, Shen Santong is full of flaws.

"The Lost Tomb" reflects the real-life drug epidemic in the United States. What a vicious curse!
The consensus in Hollywood is to give Shen Santong's films a cold shoulder, labeling them as "niche", "curious" and "rebellious".

Disney's move this time also follows this path, but it is more specific.

"San Francisco Chinatown archives in 1899, the Yehenala curse, the sinking of the Qing Dynasty silver chest in the Golden Gate Strait, and the 1906 San Francisco earthquake."

Just like telling the facts, it starts with specific cases and reveals Shen Santong's viciousness.

Completely portray Shen Santong as a director with malicious intentions towards the United States, ruin his reputation and make the public hate him.

How could Warner sit idly by and watch Disney sabotage it?
The media was immediately mobilized to downplay the narrative conflict and strengthen the scope of mysticism.

Watching Disney and Warner fighting each other, other Hollywood giants stood by and watched.

Disney has become too powerful in recent years, and there are many companies that have copyright disputes with Disney and its subsidiaries.

In the past, no one had a say for Shen Santong in Hollywood, so he was excluded. But now that Shen Santong is led by Warner, the situation is naturally different.

Overseas Chinese and Dongda Spider like active communities and are also taking action!

The "Gao Hua" group is taking action!

Many of them are from Frog Island.

"Let the Americans see this, let the Americans see this quickly. Go and make a sneaky film of The Lost Tomb and tell them how despicable Dongda is."

“Will it be illegal?”

"Don't be afraid. Shen Santong is not a local, and this is not a Hollywood movie. Piracy is difficult to control."

The struggle between Disney and Warner, as well as "Gao Hua" and the intervention of a certain island's cyber army.

The "Mysterious City", which was originally confined to a niche circle, inadvertently achieved circle expansion.

8 month 22 day.

Someone posted on the forum: “Please, stop spreading it so much, don’t let the Citi people see it, I was beaten by a nigger when I was walking on the street today!

"It means it's effective." The centipede spider's eyes lit up at Dongda University and encouraged to continue.

"Woo woo, damn it, Shen Santong's body is in Dongda, and you are also in Dongda, we still have to live, stop spreading it!"

A lurker reminded: "It broke out of the circle, from the Chinese circle."

"Ah! No! We must tell the Americans that we are not Shen Santong."

The diver said again: "It's okay, I think they are all apologizing."

"What are you apologizing for? We should be the ones to apologize!"

"It's an apology to the University of Tokyo. It seems to have been mixed up with Tibetan Buddhism and other things. Some Americans believe it, and some people fan the flames. After all, from the 1970s and 1980s to now, they have indeed been getting worse. In the past two years, opioids have also been rampant."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Americans won't be afraid! There's no way they'll apologize!"
