Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Has Xia Yuan never considered that this field is now a red ocean with fierce competition?

To put it bluntly, with the sweeping internet economy, all offline industries have been impacted to varying degrees, especially the cultural industry. Many industries are even struggling to survive and are destined to be eliminated by the times.

For example, physical record companies and some booksellers and publishing houses are now like the afterglow of yesterday, hiding in the corner, gasping for breath with the help of oxygen tanks.

Although the film industry is not going to be like this, and it is unlikely to die out for the time being, you have to admit that watching movies at home with your computer, mobile phone, or even home theater projector is still not as enjoyable as going to the cinema. The super-large screen, top-level sound system, and realistic 3D4D and IMAX are indeed irreplaceable. In addition, cinemas use extremely high-value equipment, and the viewing experience in terms of clarity and picture quality cannot be replaced by electronic mobile devices.

But it was still hit after all, and now the traditional film industry is in the process of continuously reducing its market share and then gradually stabilizing.

The market share is basically firmly held by those old large-scale cinema chains, forming a very rigid market solidification.

Everyone's interests are unified and extremely balanced, so it is not suitable for entry at all. Once newcomers enter, this balance will inevitably be broken.

After all, no one wants to have one more person to share the cake, right?
But those old guys couldn't do anything to each other. They had been fighting each other for so many years, and each of them knew how difficult the other was.

But as a newcomer, what ability do you have to make others value you and dare not touch you?
They will definitely kill you first.

What does this belong to?

In Louis Liu's opinion, this is a typical impulsive act of doing things for the sake of momentary pleasure without considering the consequences.

It is destined to be crushed to death under the tide of the times.

This is probably because he has a background in Hanxia and is used to being domineering and aggressive, and then when he came to America, he thought he could be as domineering and aggressive as before.

It's bound to be a bad fall.

"You have to push yourself to death." Louis Liu shook his head.

I thought he was a strong opponent, but he was just a brainless person relying on his background.

Once Zhao Meng leaves the background, his true colors are completely exposed.

There is no need to pay attention to Xia Yuan anymore. He is destined to become another director who fails on the road to success in Hollywood.

So what if he is the National Master of Hanxia?

I don’t know what kind of public opinion storm will be caused when the news of Xia Yuan’s decision to join Hollywood spreads back to China. After all, such a great national master ended up in a dismal failure in Hollywood.

Doesn't this prove that the people of Hanxia are really no good, and that the national teacher of Hanxia is just a figurehead, and is even worse than a street dog in Hollywood?
"America is the best!" Louis Liu has a strong sense of belonging to his motherland.

Now that he is helping his motherland to snipe Han Xia, it can be regarded as drawing a clear line. Such behavior should make Mr. Hart more satisfied with him, and should be able to better emphasize his position, that he stands firmly on the side of the great America.

The news that "The Last Afterglow" is about to be released spread quickly on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram, and became a hot topic one after another.

"OMG, I'm so excited, I will definitely go to the cinema to watch it."

"I've already booked the tickets. Angelina's gorgeous face, here I come!!"

"This should be considered the most powerful movie of its time, right? There should be no other movie that can compete with it."

"Be more confident. If you remove the word 'should', it will be the best movie!" "After all, this is produced by Fox in the 21st Century. As one of the largest manufacturers in Hollywood, their strength is obvious to all."

The same story is true on Rotten Tomatoes.

What is Rotten Tomatoes? It is actually the largest movie review website in the world.

The website's name comes from the fact that during the vaudeville era, audiences would throw tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables onto the stage when a performance was not good. The website has a long history.

This website is famous for its harsh reviews. The movie fans on it have very picky tastes, and the movies that get high scores are all classic masterpieces without exception.

Good reviews are represented by fresh red tomatoes, bad reviews are represented by rotten green tomatoes, and there is even a special award that every year honors the low-scoring film with the most green tomatoes, which is the famous Golden Raspberry Award.

Even compared with others, Hanxia's Doujia.com is just a younger brother. They all started out by imitating others, but this one is the ancestor.

Of course, there is also an expectation score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Nowadays, "The Last Afterglow" has been given an expectation score of 9.1 and is at the top of the list.

There is no way. There are no competitors nowadays. There is only one blockbuster released in this period of time. As an evergreen theme in Hollywood, the audience of zombie movies has always been very stable.

As for "Cellmates"? Xia Yuan?

It has been forgotten in some corner.

After all, Heye has always adhered to the strategy of not promoting its films, which means that if you are not a fan of Xia Yuan, it is basically impossible for you to know that his film is going to be released. Many people will only realize it after the film has been released for a while and becomes popular. Damn, Xia Yuan’s movie is in release?
If fans are like this, passers-by are even worse.

In particular, Xia Yuan was only well-known in the United States around the Olympics. During that period, because of the surprises brought by the Olympics, he did become a topic of discussion.

But as time goes by, people naturally forget about him.

Not to mention that this was directed by Han Xia, not Amei Ruijian.

Mike Hopkins is one of them.

As a high school boy, Mike possesses almost all the characteristics of a "pussy rubbing" guy.

The so-called "Cuobi" actually refers to those people who are ignored, cared about, and unknown in the school.

They are like the randomly refreshed NPCs in the school, always serving as the background for those influential figures.

They only know how to study, never participate in parties, and don't have outstanding physical fitness or anything.

At this moment, Mike was walking on the school path after school, carrying his schoolbag. He was looking at the tall boys sweating on the basketball court in the distance. They were charming, and there were many girls waiting for them by the court.

Mike's eyes fell on one of the girls. His expression was a little puzzled, yet a little sad.

He actually wanted to live a happy life like those dazzling boys, and boys would always be in love, but he would never be one of those popular ones.

(A key figure appears. As for what the key is, you can guess it yourself.) (End of this chapter)
