I Just Want to Copy Books in Peace

During this trip to the Stars and Stripes, Du Caige went for a total of 5 days.

Including time on the plane.

The whole process was very low-key, without exposure.

Except for the few people he met, the outside world didn't even know that he had come to the Stars and Stripes.

Of course, this is also because he is not a big star, and media reporters don't pay much attention to him.

During this period, he also encountered a danger, and was called by Claire to her apartment (not a mansion) in the name of directing music, but was deliberately drunk by her, and almost lost his virginity.

Fortunately, the loyal Han Yi arrived in time to protect the Lord.

That saved him from being stamped by Claire.

Claire looked very regretful, feeling like the duck that was cooked to the point of her mouth flew away.

There was nothing embarrassing about her, and when Du Caige returned to the country in a low-key manner, she went to the airport to see him off, and tried to get money by kissing him goodbye.

What are you doing in the Stars and Stripes this time? It's so mysterious.

In the past few days, Claire has asked this question more than once.

It's not that Du Caige doesn't regard her as a friend, but he always feels that she is not close enough, and it is not suitable for her to tell these confidential things.

If you were a native of Dahua, you might understand it and wouldn’t ask questions.

But Claire didn't have this kind of awareness at all. She didn't think that Du Caige didn't tell her because of lack of intimacy, but that Du Caige didn't tell her because she didn't ask sincerely enough...

Looking at Claire's serious face covered by sunglasses, Du Caige felt a headache.

Say no, don't say no.

Don't say it, it seems that you don't trust her enough.

Well, it's actually distrust, but it can't be so obvious, right? That was too hurtful.

Let's talk about it, Claire and Shen Jinsong didn't actually meet each other, so it seemed safe.

But what if she slipped her tongue?

And the producer of Lord Admiral\

,"Kyriad is included.

And Kyriad is a money laundering company run by several second generations of the California consortium.

Claire lives in Hollywood, California, and the circle she usually goes in and out of is also inextricably linked with the California Consortium—or it can be said that in Hollywood, it is difficult for you not to have a relationship with the California Consortium. There is a little connection between the sub-consortia.

So out of prudence, it's best not to tell her.

Du Caige was still deliberating, but Han Yi came forward to protect the lord again. She pulled Claire to the side, and whispered a few words affectionately.

Claire glanced at Du Caige from time to time, her eyes were very strange.

Fang Muchen was closer to them and his hearing was better. He looked at Du Caige thoughtfully, and pressed his lips tightly.

After a while, the two came back as if nothing had happened, and Claire was no longer obsessed with this topic, and everyone was happy.

After boarding the plane, Du Caige asked Han Yi: What did you say to her just now? The way she looks at me is so strange.

Han Yi smiled and said: I said that when you came to the Stars and Stripes last time, you had a good friend here. This time, you came here to meet your lover privately, so it was very secretive. She probably did it for Duan Tianhou. I feel wronged, so I must have a strange expression.

Pfft! Fang Muchen spouted water.

What's wrong?

Fang Muchen wiped it hastily, It's okay, it's okay, I just choked.

Han Yi glared at him with threatening eyes, Fang Muchen nodded slightly, expressing that he received it, and he would not talk nonsense.

Only then did Han Yi look away.

...

What's the matter with your solemn expression? You're finally pregnant? Bob walked into the studio and found Claire sitting there with her head bowed, with a tangled expression on her face, and couldn't help asking.

Claire rolled her eyes, I just heard a secret, and I feel a little emotional.

Bob was curious: What secret?

Claire looked like she was going crazy: I really want to say it, but I promised others not to say it. What should I do!

What is the secret that makes you so entangled!

I absolutely can't tell you that Hemingway is a two-way plug, and that he came to the Stars and Stripes to meet his boyfriend this time! I promised others that I would never tell you!

Bob raised his eyebrows, not really shocked, because in the Stars and Stripes, LGBT is very strong, and many people accept it subtly.

Even if you don't accept it, you can't say it out loud, otherwise people will come to your door and hold signs to protest.

The fire of gossip was burning, and Bob touched his bald head, I know you can't tell, OK, I won't force you to tell this secret, but can you boldly guess who his boyfriend is? ?”

Claire pondered: I guess, Brian Evans? I heard that he is a die-hard fan of Hemingway's books. He even chased Hemingway to the annual awards dinner of 'Track' before.

Oh, Bob whistled, two handsome boys! Very graphic.

I think so too. I think Brian Evans is more suitable for Hemingway than Duan. Claire said seriously.

...

Du Caige, who didn't know that his reputation was murdered, returned to China in a low-key manner.

The promotion of Wulin is already in full swing. Although Duan Xiaochen has experienced the incident before, Duan Xiaochen is not a member of the Wulin crew after all, so his influence on the film is limited.

In contrast, the promotion of Martial Arts in Sakurajima and Stars and Stripes is a bit behind.

The main concern is that the price-performance ratio is not high.

In fact, Du Caige is confident that Wulin can be accepted by the audience of Sakurajima and Stars and Stripes.

After all, this is a commercial film, an action film, not an art film.

On the planet, there are many examples of excellent Chinese-language films not being accepted by Americans.

Among them, most of the reasons are caused by cultural differences.

But at its root, the root of cultural differences is because of the arrogance and prejudice of Americans - they look down on your Chinese culture and are not interested in understanding it. If you don't understand, just yell and say it's bad.

Just like the younger generation of Chinese audiences, they can seamlessly enjoy various American dramas and Hollywood blockbusters.

Are there no cultural differences?

Of course there are cultural differences, but Chinese audiences feel that the United States is a big country, and the American culture is right. If we don’t understand it, then we are wrong. We have to learn and understand.

And the American audience thinks, you Chinese are a fart, what kind of shit is filmed, they don’t understand, so go back and reshoot.

This is the essence of cultural differences.

For example, Infernal Affairs.

The original version of Infernal Affairs is considered a classic in the Chinese-speaking area, and it is the last flashback of Hong Kong films. It is a perfect combination of commercial elements and humanistic connotations.

The Douban score is as high as 9.2 points, which can be considered a masterpiece.

But in the U.S. market, it is a halberd.

American audiences didn't buy it.

I don't understand it, the characters in it speak in a mysterious way, which is boring.

However, American director Martin Scorsese (the master who filmed Gangs of New York and Wolf of Wall Street) found this story interesting, so Warner Bros. bought the copyright and gave it to him to shoot.

The result was The Departed.

What does Departed mean?

Gone, separated, dead.

You taste, you taste carefully.

What does this have to do with Infernal Affairs?

Infernal Affairs is a never-ending hell of endless torment.

Therefore, the American version of Infernal Affairs, Infernal Affairs, is much different from the original Infernal Affairs in terms of conception.

Then, The Departed Walker also invited several big-name stars, Matt Damon and Xiao Lizi, basically the American version of Andy Lau and Liang Chaowei.

However, the actors were on target, but the content was completely changed.

Xiao Lizi performed all kinds of foul language and rough and rough performances in it, all kinds of F words, the F word was said 237 times, the rival scene between Matt Damon and Xiao Lizi was also adrenaline soaring, I F you, you F me, foul language The kind that sprays.

The overall feeling is that this film is full of American-style roughness.

Moreover, in terms of connotation, it is obviously worse than the original Infernal Affairs.

The director didn't use the lens language to expand too much.

However, the original version of Infernal Affairs is restrained, reserved, and requires careful attention.

Most Chinese netizens believe that The Infernal Affairs is a parody of Infernal Affairs.

With the jewels of Infernal Affairs in front, they don't even think highly of Infernal Affairs.

The Douban score of The Departed Walker is only 7.3 points, which can explain a little bit of the problem, right?

Yet The Departed was a big hit at the box office and during awards season.

The production cost was 90 million U.S. dollars, and the box office in North America alone got 280 million U.S. dollars.

At the 79th Oscars, it won four awards: Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing and Best Picture.

It can be seen that Lao Mei loves this parody version.

And which onion is Infernal Affairs? You Chinese don't know how to make movies, what a good script you make.

The Departed is a good movie, The Departed is rubbish.

That's how Americans see it.

On Azure Star's side, the Dahua Kingdom is culturally stronger because of its own strength.

Although the Stars and Stripes still looks down on the music and movies of the Great Hua Kingdom, it is by no means as arrogant as the United States on Earth.

However, it is still not easy for movies from the Great Huaguo to get a good box office in the Stars and Stripes.

Action movies are an exception, though.

Just like on Earth, Bruce Lee and Cheng Long kung fu movies are very popular in the United States.

On Azure Star, there is a certain market for the action movies of the Great Hua Kingdom in the Stars and Stripes.

Therefore, Du Caige felt that the Wulin should not have the problem of acclimatization.

However, the competition is also very strong.

Especially considering that the sign of Shu Yihuan already has a certain reputation in the Stars and Stripes, and is regarded by the fans of the Stars and Stripes as the first person in martial arts movies in the Great China.

If he wanted to rely on the martial arts as the main force to stop Shu Yihuan's admiral, it would still be difficult.

The more difficult it is, the more publicity is needed to compete with it.

So Du Caige proposed an additional publicity budget.

But Yan Yingzhen disagreed.

The price-performance ratio is too low. Although you are famous in the Stars and Stripes, your fame is related to music, and movie fans will not buy it. No matter how much you publicize, it will not have any effect. Listen to me, this time 'Wulin' In the promotion of the Stars and Stripes, I assigned a special person to be in charge, and must spend the least amount of money to achieve the best results, and will never lose the chain because of the publicity effect.

What else can Du Caige say? To say more is to distrust Yan Yingzhen.
