Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

No way, they really don't have much reputation overseas, so they can only use word-of-mouth of the movie to drive publicity and box office.

The next morning, when Zhang Xiao was eating, he saw something about "Wind Talker" on the Internet, and he couldn't help frowning.

What the hell?

Is this going to pour dirty water on me?
Zhang Xiao was a little annoyed, and immediately called Chen Li.

Chen Li answered the phone and said, "Mr. Zhang, do you want to ask about the rumors about "Wind Talker"?"

"That's right!" Zhang Xiao nodded.

Chen Li explained: "I'm contacting Columbia Pictures. The reputation of "Wind Talker" has collapsed. Columbia Pictures is very likely to use this method to maintain the box office of "Wind Talker."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiao sneered and said, "Since they have already done this, there is no use for you to contact me now, so let me send a tweet!"

Chen Li quickly asked, "What do you want to say?"

"You will know soon!" Zhang Xiao hung up the phone immediately after finishing speaking, and then opened his Twitter.

It wrote: "I was a little annoyed this morning. I never thought that the score of "Windtalker" on Rotten Tomatoes could have something to do with me."

"In my life, no matter in the past, present or future, I will never allow anyone to slander any film in any form. As a director, I think this kind of practice is a blasphemy against the art of film."

"In just one night, countless online forums suspected that I attacked the scoring system of the movie "Windtalker" on the Rotten Tomatoes website. If there is no one behind the scenes to fan the flames, it is simply impossible."

"Advise the individual or group who took the lead in defaming my reputation, don't let me find evidence, otherwise I will let you go to jail."

As soon as Zhang Xiao's tweet was posted, it immediately aroused strong responses from fans.

"Shen Xiao is angry."

"I feel like someone is going to be unlucky."

"Actually, this matter is very suspicious. Xiao Shen has no reason to attack "Wind Talker."

"Find out the rumour-mongers and bring them to justice!"

"The problem is obvious. It's definitely Colombia. Their purpose of doing this is to stabilize the box office of the movie, that's all."

"The reputation of "Windtalker" is bleak. It is estimated that Columbia came up with this stupid thing in order to save itself."

"Xiao Shen should have been used as a gun."

"Support Xiao Shen, find out who is behind the scenes, and teach them a lesson."

"···"

A talk show on MVSS TV.

The publicity team of "Wind Talker" was interviewed by the host.

"Mr. Wu, what do you think of "Wind Talker" only getting a 50.00% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes?"

Wu Yusen said without hesitation: "I don't believe this score. The box office of "Wind Talker" reached 1.37 million US dollars on the first day, and the attendance rate was above 50.00%. With such a box office result, the word-of-mouth is not even good." Pass, how is this possible?"

"You think it's the Rotten Tomatoes rating that's wrong, not your movie, right?"

"I can only say that it is possible, after all, their website often likes to have this kind of thing."

"If there is a problem with the scoring system on the Rotten Tomatoes website, who do you think will attack your "Windtalker"?"

"I do not know."

"Could it be Mr. Zhang Xiao? Now many netizens think that Mr. Zhang has both this motivation and this ability."

Wu Yusen was silent for a while, and said, "Sorry, I really don't know about this."

Don't know, not disbelief, Wu Yusen's answer disappointed Zhang Xiao who watched the show.

Zhang Xiao knew very well that Wu Yusen didn't speak for him, it was all for the box office of "Wind Talker", but as a Chinese filmmaker, Wu Yusen's actions made Zhang Xiao feel betrayed.

"Director Wu, do you know what you're talking about?" Director Li Lan called Wu Yusen on the way back from the TV station.

Wu Yusen sighed with some exhaustion, and said, "Director Li, I can't help it either!"

Li Lan said: "Even if there is no other way, you can't give such ambiguous remarks. You should be very clear that Mr. Zhang doesn't bother to do such things."

"What's more, Mr. Zhang is not only a director and actor, but also a giant standing at the top of the Hollywood pyramid, holding 40.00% of the theaters in Beacon Country."

""Windtalker" failed at the box office, and you still have a chance to make a comeback, but you offended Mr. Zhang, and whether your future movies will be released is a problem."

After hearing Li Lan's words, Wu Yusen trembled violently, a trace of panic flashed in your eyes, and said, "It's broken, I forgot about this layer."

Li Lan said: "Director Wu, this interview of yours has been broadcast live. If someone tries to trick you and spread the video to China, then your prestige among Chinese movie fans will plummet immediately."

"At that time, "Windtalker" wants to be released in China, and you can imagine the scene yourself."

Wu Yusen became anxious now, and said, "Director Li, the big mistake has already been made, what should I do?"

Li Lan said: "Call Mr. Zhang immediately and ask for his forgiveness. Then, when you are interviewed, you must clarify that you believe Mr. Zhang will not do such a thing. I hope it is not too late."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

However, what made Wu Yusen feel desperate was that Zhang Xiao had already blocked his contact information, and he couldn't get in no matter how he called.

There was no other way, Wu Yusen had no choice but to contact Li Lan again.

Li Lan also felt that something was wrong, but seeing that the two had known each other for more than ten years, he still bit the bullet and called Zhang Xiao.

"Director Li, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Zhang, Director Wu just now..." He just started, Zhang Xiao immediately interrupted him, saying: "Director Li, if it's about Wu Yusheng, don't talk about it."

"For directors like us, it is not difficult to understand that "Windtalker" has an unlucky 5.00% freshness, but for the sake of box office, he is willing to be the gun of Columbia Pictures and pour dirty water on me. Splashing on my body is unacceptable to me."

Li Lan was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Zhang, it is not easy for us Chinese directors to work hard in Hollywood. If "Wind Talker" fails at the box office, Director Wu may never get more than [-] million US dollars. I invested in it, so I used the method of diverting attention to fight for a chance of life for myself."

Zhang Xiaodao: "Director Li, I can understand his mood at this moment, but I really can't forgive him. The only thing I can do is not take the initiative to find trouble with him."

"In the future, Wu Yusen's movies can be screened in my theaters as usual, but there will be no preferential treatment."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiao emphasized his tone again, and said, "Director Li, this is my bottom line."

Li Lan sighed, and said, "Mr. Zhang, it's your utmost benevolence to do this. I thank you on behalf of Wu."

After hanging up the phone, Li Lan told Wu Yusen exactly what Zhang Xiao said. When Wu Yusen heard it, he felt very regretful, but there is no medicine for regret in this world.
