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

"Why has the reputation of "The Last Afterglow" collapsed like this? Some of you still haven't figured out the crux of the problem? We've had enough! We chose to give in before, but you began to point fingers at the normal rights that should have belonged to us step by step. Now we don't want to continue to endure it. I just want to watch a normal movie, what's wrong with me? I just want to play a normal game, what's wrong with that? Now you not only want to influence these, but also force us to accept your so-called settings and power. I don't want to be forced to accept these things by you!"

"Why am I so confused? What happened? Am I not keeping up with the times?"

"Oh my god, I don't know either. Cellmates? When did such a movie come out?"

The pace began to ferment suddenly, but what made some groups a little panicked this time was that they originally thought that people would accept it very quickly this time, just like before, and go according to their ideas.

After all, they were born in such an environment and have such characteristics, which is already miserable enough, so what if this society gives them some extra preferential treatment? Is there any problem?

It has been like this every time before. With a little pressure, public opinion will go in the direction they want, and they can further gain some power.

But what happened this time? Why did these people react so strongly?

Some minority groups simply panicked.

However, what they don’t know is that, as some netizens said, they have had enough.

Do they agree with these people’s concepts and ideas?
No, I’m just worried that I’ll be labeled as discriminated against and it will affect my life and basic rights.

Because in this country, once you are confirmed to be a person with discriminatory tendencies, you will be fired from your job and expelled from school.

In even more serious cases, you may face the risk of being sued, and end up paying a large sum of money, or even going to jail.

You tell me, how can a normal person not be afraid?

It is precisely because of the public opinion and power advantages that this minority group has worked so hard to build up that normal people dare not say much.

Even later on, one voice became increasingly stronger.

That is, someone proposed a sentence: Since whoever marches is right, then we should march too!

"What is beautiful and what is not beautiful, our aesthetics are normal, we have our own way of distinguishing, we don't need you to tell us what to do."

So they actually started planning the parade!

Originally, the L_/GBTQ parade was just the first wave, and there will be many more people marching for this movie.

As a result, before they had the chance to continue exerting pressure and intimidation as planned, another group of people began to march towards them the next day.

Moreover, the number of this group of people is even more astonishing, and their momentum is even more powerful.

There were thousands of people at the beginning!
They shouted their demands.

“Support free creation! Oppose quantitative standards! What we need is not works under restrictions!”

Some radical people even shouted directly: "Oppose L_/GBTQ!"

For a time, the movie "Cellmates" quickly entered people's field of vision.

Originally, this movie did not receive much attention and few people knew about it. Then, because of the continuous parades in the past two days, more and more people became aware of its name.

Mike naturally saw everything that happened during this period.

If you ask him what he thinks about this, he will only tell you that this is very normal.

Because people have been suppressed for too long, they have always been forced to admit things that are contrary to their ideas, and they have to agree with others with their eyes closed.

Once or twice, it was okay at first.

But later these people gradually intensified, actively moving forward and further encroaching on the space for normal people. Many people had no idea about L/_GBTQ or some minority groups before they protested or were labeled as discriminatory.

I have never been interested in knowing their affairs.

Let alone discrimination or anything like that, there is no such thing at all.

"When repression starts to increase, in the end, every straw may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back, just like now."

There is no doubt that "Cellmates" has become a hit. It has been on the hot search list for the past few days and has never come down. The popularity continues to soar.

More and more people know the name of this movie because of the various sensational trends in the past two days.

I also got to know Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan's identity was revealed. When people found out that this person was the director of the Hanxia Olympics some time ago, they were instantly shocked.

As expected, only foreigners have the courage to tell the truth. If it were a local director, they would definitely not dare to shoot such a thing.

However, once the director's identity was revealed, the name Xia Yuan also became known.

People who hate others naturally hate to death and their teeth itch with hatred.

But more people admire Xia Yuan's courage.

Unfortunately, there are 50 states in America, but only California can see this movie.

The screening rate is very low, and 99% of the theaters do not have this movie.

This has not only increased the popularity of the movie, but also aroused people's curiosity.

So, while fighting back against the minority group, more people, especially those who watched "The Last Afterglow" and were disgusted by 300 kilograms of black pearls, were even more curious and felt itchy in their hearts, as if ants were crawling on their bodies.

They also want to see what such a work is like.

As a result, many videos explaining the plot of "Cellmates" appeared on YouTube.

The popularity of "Cellmates" not only packed the local Heye International Cinemas in California, but also led to a lot of abuse and complaints about "The Last Days".

Now the index and ratings of the two movies on Rotten Tomatoes have become drastically different.

The box office has plummeted.

On the relevant data website, we can see that "The Last Afterglow" still had 4213 million US dollars on the first day, which is still very impressive. If it maintains this trend, it will be no problem to make a lot of money.

But starting from the second day, the box office took a direct hit, being more than halved, directly dropping to 1258 million US dollars.

On the third day, it was less than 10 million US dollars.

At this rate, it is estimated that in a few days, we may not even have millions of dollars.

This kind of data is catastrophic for a blockbuster movie with an investment of several hundred million dollars.

It means losing all your money!
Some people have begun to panic.

Those theaters that chose to stand in line and refused to cooperate with Heye are starting to sweat. (End of this chapter)
