The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 162 The Old Beauty Crazy for Ogre
"Milligan is truly an unpredictable country!"

This is a comment from "Times Weekly", and now it is Zhou Wen's heartfelt words after staying in North America for more than half a month!

Zhou Wen is the head of Dunhuang's newly established North American office.

Before the final publisher in North America was finalized, he had already gone to the United States to start work.

Therefore, he can be said to have witnessed the entire process of "The Silence of the Lambs" in the North American market, "finalizing the release-starting promotion-release-a certain degree of popularity but not ideal-full popularity"
But the experience of the first half month is not as great as the impact brought to him in just a few days after becoming popular.

Now, from the Atlantic Ocean in the east, the Pacific Ocean in the west, the Gulf of Mexico in the south, and the Arctic Ocean in the north, almost everyone on the North American continent is talking about the movie "The Silence of the Lambs" or the explosive events triggered by this movie.

It can be basically predicted that this movie will win the best box office record in the history of Chinese-language movies in the North American market.

Holding a popular and good work, Zhou Wen, as a representative of Dunhuang, is naturally sought after by all kinds of people.

Of course, he also knew that Dunhuang didn't send him here to enjoy flattery.

In addition to supervising and cooperating with Universal's distribution work, his other task is to collect and screen real feedback from North American audiences, so as to provide reference for Dunhuang Headquarters to develop the North American market.

But, how should I put it... This is really a job that refreshes his three views!
After the North American real-life ogre and the skinning maniac expressed their intention to sue "The Silence of the Lambs" for "infringement", a real fucking lawyer publicly declared that he was considering a lawsuit for them.

Well, it sounds ridiculous, and Zhou Wen and the people from Universal Pictures also chose to ignore it.

——Although in this era, North American "litigator" lawyers are rampant, and they often like to occupy the moral high ground of speaking for the weak, extorting some large companies, and getting rich overnight with compensation.

But no matter how you look at it, standing on the side of the ogre and the skinning maniac is not the moral high ground.

What's more, who doesn't know that the cost of going to court in North America is extremely high, Zhou Wen and the others don't believe that these lawyers will go to court for free.

To put it bluntly, they are just rubbing the heat.

This is also normal, no matter whether it is Chinese or foreign, whenever there is a big hit movie, there will always be all kinds of people who are not invited.

Compared with the ignored lawyer, Zhou Wen didn't know whether he should be happy or worried because he was another object of gossip.

——A white-left senator from California commented on the leading actor in this hit movie:
"If Hannibal's ogre identity is removed, I have a lot of sympathy with him..."

——After the color of the Cold War faded, the process of globalization accelerated. In recent years, the white left forces in North America have also been expanding.

——Although the so-called "white leftists" have different definitions, most of them advocate universal values, assert rights in a high-profile manner, have a high tolerance for abnormal behavior, and resist the connotations of values ​​such as conservatism, tradition, and authority.

Under the North American electoral system, politicians actually need to be hyped.

To put it simply, he is more willing to speak on topics that are popular and attract more attention recently.

In this way, he can also attract more attention from voters.

This time, he succeeded——

"...The scariest thing about this man is that he treats the same kind as inferior objects and breaks the rules of human society with a violent act, but he doesn't care."

"All his actions come from his own self, and he pursues the satisfaction of his own perception. What is this? This is a symbol of freedom! After all, rules are also made by man, and being able to break them just proves his ability."

"Live according to one's own wishes, follow one's heart, this is the free life that many people can't get, but the inner hope..."

Zhou Wen didn't understand, but was shocked!
He felt that his IQ was not enough!

Can such a thing as "cannibalism" be related to "free life"?
However, a large group of Hannibal's admirers applauded him loudly.

Yes, admirers!
——There is probably no country that worships this ogre more than Lao Mei!

Every day someone calls, writes, or directly pours out their admiration for Hannibal in the public media-"I'll try to stand in his shoes", "He doesn't seem like the kind who would kill people." person", "I think I'm in love with him"...

Well, there are women, men, and... unidentified gender.

On the English-language Internet, the so-called "Hannibal Religion" appeared, and the publicity was still very large--Hannibal was crowned with titles, including but not limited to master of art, master of psychology, master of surgery, and explorer. , gourmet, etc., it sounds easy to worship.

Some die-hard female fans said that if Hannibal, who is outstanding in appearance, polite, talented, sensitive, and reasonable... is a real person, they would be willing to marry him, and even be willing to become his "belly thing".

Zhou Wen's IQ collapsed again!

I thought: He can understand his admiration for powerful power; but isn't there a real-life ogre?Why can't I see you are crazy and obsessed?Is it because, not handsome enough?

However, Zhou Wen, who has a lot of experience in the industry, quickly figured it out - appearance is only one of the reasons.

Of course, it is one of the very important reasons.

But more importantly, precisely because this is a virtual character, many people will boldly worship it.

Yes, it is "Ye Gong loves dragons".

Take a look, facing the real version of the ogre, most people are still shit; those who will worship are also anti-social.

——This is the truth in the world!

But merchants in North America don't care so much, as long as there are fans, there is commercial value.

So, within a few days after "The Silence of the Lambs" became popular, a large number of image authorization requests for "Hannibal" flew to Universal Pictures or Zhou Wen's office.

Publishing houses, as well as colleagues in Hollywood want to dig out the deep story of this image; merchants such as clothing and electronics want to develop products related to this image; there is even a restaurant that wants "Hannibal" as their image spokesperson ...

The last one almost made Zhou Wen stupid!

- good fellow!Do you want guests to come to dinner, or do you want guests to be dinner?
Zhou Wen, whose three views have been refreshed repeatedly, feels from the bottom of his heart that the cultural differences between the East and the West are really too great!
——In China, "The Silence of the Lambs" is also a big hit. Are there any admirers of "Hannibal"?there must be!But the media will not promote the spread of this sense of worship, and even mention "reflection" at every turn.

What about North American media?
The public is fascinated by all things Hannibal, and the media is happy to satisfy its hunger.

Of course, there are left and right in this world.

But the rightists in North America, instead of reflecting on "ogre should not become a certain kind of popular culture", but resorted to traditional performing arts, commonly known as - "blame the Chinese people!"
