The Queen's Rumored Father

Chapter 1259 The Mission of "The Tuner" and Chapek's Backstabbing

Of course, the filming of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" focused primarily on the tip of a rice grain, rather than on planting flowers.

This also provided a breakthrough for many American media outlets.

"Look, although the Chinese film market may surpass the North American market, Hollywood's status will never change."

"The status of a film mecca is not determined by the market; simply comparing the number of people cannot achieve a qualitative change. What is truly important is the gathering of upstream production companies."

"Yes, the cluster of film production companies determines Hollywood's special status in North America. And the fact that Hollywood films are concentrated in the heart of North America proves that the United States is still the world's leading film-producing country."

"Although Xu has made a name for himself in Hollywood and achieved a super miracle at the Oscars, his works are ultimately based on the Hollywood model and are stories of ordinary people."

"The vast majority of Xu's films are shot in North America, which I think speaks volumes. If one day, Xu's films shot in his homeland, China, can also achieve repeated successes and create miracles, then that will truly prove that he has the ability to break away from Hollywood and recreate Hollywood!"

After this crucial argument was discovered, the entire North American film industry went wild.

If we can't beat you, we'll make you join us—that's the typical strategy of the nouveau riche.

Despite the fact that films like "Parasite," which primarily feature Asian actors, have won numerous prestigious Oscars and achieved remarkable success.

But that was just a special case.

Moreover, although Parasite itself doesn't tell a story about North America, it happens to tell a story about a very cold country. And the core of this story is anti-North American supremacy.

In a sense, this is also part of the North American story.

Subverting the norm is also a kind of norm.

So it doesn't count.

However, it turned out to be a coincidence.

The international film industry has keenly observed that Xu Yuan's upcoming film has a strong "No American Story" style.

Aside from the fact that the male lead is Hollywood superstar Benedict Cumberbatch and the film will be shown in North America, this film has absolutely nothing to do with DaMiLiZhi.

Benedict Cumberbatch, too, is not a native Hollywood star; he is an outsider who came from overseas.

The Tuner!

This film instantly garnered the attention of filmmakers worldwide.

Its success or failure will, in a sense, prove a very important question: whether Xu Yuan defeated Hollywood with Hollywood, or whether Xu Yuan defeated Hollywood on his own!

The former illustrates that even Xu Yuan cannot do without Hollywood.

The latter...then, in theory, cleared the way for Chinese films to surpass American films.

Of course, such in-depth discussions have always been confined to the industry.

Within the industry, only a very farsighted group of people can truly understand the implications of this.

It's not because they're smart enough, but because they're positioned high enough to be the first to feel the chill of an industry's decline.

As for the general public, they only care about whether a movie is good or not, whether a mobile phone is easy to use or not, and whether a car is easy to drive or not.

Please don't say they are short-sighted or lack passion.

These are all things that are closely related to their vital interests, and they deserve their attention.

If you don't give them a chance to stand at the top of the industry and look out, then you can't blame others for not seeing as much as you do.

Those who are not in a position should not concern themselves with its affairs.

……

The hype surrounding "The Tuner" came very quickly, but it presented two extremes.

The film has generated a great deal of discussion in the international community. Although whether Hollywood wins or the Chinese Hollywood represented by Xu Yuan wins has nothing to do with the international community, it's still very exciting to watch the two leaders clash.

Domestically, they are fully prepared to provide the greatest possible support.

Thanks to the explanations provided by experts, everyone is aware of the recent public opinion and understands what the film's box office performance represents in a certain sense. In times requiring mobilization, our people never disappoint.

However, the situation is completely the opposite for the tips of rice grains.

Throughout the entire rice grain-sized area, there was very little publicity about "The Tuner." Apart from NMC television, other places tacitly cooperated to block related news.

Hollywood has demonstrated its power in everything from publicity to film scheduling.

They want this movie released, but the box office has to be terrible.

Only in this way...

Fortunately, Xu Yuan is extremely popular on DaMiLiZhi (a Chinese online forum), and every film he makes generates a lot of buzz there. You can control the screening schedule, but you also want to control public opinion?

Even though most official media outlets have been bribed, there are still quite a few small media outlets that are not afraid of death.

In the rice field, people will do anything as long as it's profitable.

With no one reporting on Xu Yuan's new movie, reporting on Xu Yuan's movie becomes a super profitable option.

Moreover, the power of film ultimately cannot affect the whole picture; Hollywood is just Hollywood, not the Pentagon or the White House.

After a brief silence, the topic of "tuning the sound engineer" was finally brought up again on the tip of a rice grain, and it became increasingly heated.

At this time, major Hollywood production companies, while shouting that they were not afraid of Xu Yuan and that this movie, which was almost entirely made by Chinese people in China, was not scary, also changed the release date in various ways in hopes of avoiding "Andhadhun".

It's no wonder the media seemed disappointed and disappointed.

As a nation that values individual heroism, heroes must step forward at this time.

And that hero, without a doubt, is Disney.

"It's time we stood up. Hollywood movies will never decline; it's our right, and more importantly, our responsibility!" Chapek delivered a passionate speech, then played almost every card Disney could currently play.

And all of these works share a common characteristic.
