The media had already known that Xiao Yunhai had invited more than 400 viewers to his company to watch 'The Grandmaster', so a group of reporters had already gathered outside.
When the fans came out in groups of three to five, they immediately surrounded them.
"Sir, did Kungfu Xiao invite you to watch the movie because of the screening of 'The Grandmaster' in Europe and America?"
"That's right. Kungfu Xiao kept his promise and let us watch 'The Grandmaster' from beginning to end. "
"What do you think? Can you understand it? "
"I can understand most of it, only a small part of it is a little profound, so I need to go to the theater again. However, I give it a super high score of 9.2. I like this movie more than 'Valiant Heroes'. Because it's more artistic, it gives people a feeling of grandeur, and the movements in it are fierce and ruthless, but they don't lose their beauty. Especially Miss Zhao's performance as Mr. Miyaji, it's simply amazing. "
Most of the fans said that it was good, but there were always a few people who liked to disagree with everyone.
"Sir, what do you think of 'The Grandmaster'?"
"I didn't give it a score because I didn't understand what it said from beginning to end. Of course, the fighting scenes are good, but I think it's far inferior to 'Valiant Heroes'. "
"Do you think it's necessary for 'The Grandmaster' to be screened in Europe and America?"
"Forget it. I dare say that less than 20% of the fans can really understand this movie. Hua Xia Kung Fu is too profound, and it's really difficult for people to understand the principles in it. "
.....
These fans were speaking their true feelings, but it was different when they heard it in the ears of others.
Wasn't it similar to the Hua Xia Kung Fu movies that they had watched before? No wonder Kungfu Xiao didn't want to screen it in Europe and America.
For a movie, the good parts would often be ignored, while the bad parts would be infinitely magnified, especially when there were enemies.
Xiao Yunhai's biggest enemy was undoubtedly Steyr Networks.
Recently, David Steyr had been very depressed. The biggest reason was that the game "Warcraft" developed by his arch-enemy, Storm Game Company, had become popular all over the world. This caused Steyr Networks's game to plummet from more than 20% of the market share to a single digit. Their daily profit of 300 million USD had dropped to 120 million USD, and it was still dropping at a rate of 10%. It was estimated that in a few days, all the players of their own game would run over to "Warcraft".
He had spent a lot of money to invite some hardcore players to look for bugs in Warcraft, but more than ten days had passed, and not only had they not found anything, they had even become loyal players of Warcraft themselves. It was said that a guy had even sold a weapon and equipment to a rich second-generation heir, earning a whopping five hundred thousand dollars.
After the news spread out, countless professional players gathered in Warcraft, making it even more popular.
David Steyr had shot himself in the foot.
Now, Xiao Yunhai's first movie after "2012" had appeared, and it was a Hua Xia kungfu movie, "The Grandmaster". Naturally, David Steyr wouldn't let go of this opportunity to attack him.
"Ricky, has the release date of Xiao's" The Grandmaster "been announced?"
"Boss, they haven't decided yet."
"Do you have any specific plans?"
"Boss, Kungfu Xiao's last movie," 2012 ", was the first 3D movie, so it achieved a terrifying 20 billion USD. It's different this time. Everyone is making a 3D movie, and "The Grandmaster" is a pure Hua Xia kungfu movie. No matter how good he is, there will always be a situation where he can't adapt to the environment. I've already asked the Internet Water Army to start working on the Internet. Dozens of newspapers and magazines will report some bad news about "The Grandmaster" tonight. I believe that it won't be long before the fans' expectations for it will drop to the lowest. "
"Also, as long as the release date of" The Grandmaster "is set, the 3D movies" Fist God "and" Titan "that we spent a lot of money on will also be set at the same time. This time, I'm going to use these two movies to attack him in Europe and America. "Fist God" will be shown before "The Grandmaster". No matter what the effect is, we'll show "Titan" five days later. Even if we have to pay a price, we must get rid of Kungfu Xiao and suppress his momentum as the world's number one. However, we won't do that in Asia. After all, that's his base. It's difficult for us to take advantage of him there. "
After hearing Franklin's words, David Steyr was very satisfied. He revealed a rare smile and said, "Ricky, you've done very well. Although I really want to defeat Xiao, I know very well that it's impossible for us to do so in Hua Xia. The fact that you can see this shows that you've done a very good job as the CEO of Paramount Pictures. By the way, a few days ago, I heard that our new special effects technology has been completed. How's the effect? "
Franklin smiled and said, "The effect is very good. The image is completely fake. In terms of efficiency, it far exceeds the technology of the Fantasy Special Effects Company. It's also much easier to operate. As long as we make this technology public, Kungfu Xiao's Fantasy Special Effects Technology will be completely finished. Boss, when do you think it's appropriate to announce it? "
David Steyr thought for a while and said, "In two days, I'll personally make a trip to Hollywood and announce this in public."
Franklin said, "Okay, Boss. I'll inform the media and hold a press conference at two o 'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. "
Soon, under the planning of Steyr Networks, "Grandmaster" was attacked by the Internet Water Army on the web pages of various well-known forums. Many fans who were unaware of the situation also joined in.
Xiao Yunhai, who had always liked to defend and counterattack, did nothing this time and let them mess around.
Xiao Yunhai knew very well that this matter must have been started by Steyr Networks. When the other entertainment companies saw that they were unlucky, they interfered and helped Steyr stir up trouble in Hollywood.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Yunhai did not intend to fight against them at all. Instead, he saw it as a disguised form of publicity.
Only the more than 100 fans who had watched "Grandmaster" testified for him on the Internet. Unfortunately, they were drowned by the sea of comments.
Just as this matter was fermenting, David Steyr came to Hollywood in Los Angeles and held a press conference.
In front of hundreds of media reporters, David Steyr said in high spirits, "Dear friends, I have good news for you today. After the hard work of Paramount Pictures' special effects research and development department, we have finally made a breakthrough. The new generation of special effects technology has been released last week. The simulation rate has reached 98%. The efficiency is about one-third higher than the strongest fantasy special effects on the market now. We have applied for a patent. All the entertainment companies in the world can contact Paramount. The patent fee is the same as the fantasy special effects. The first 20 companies to use Paramount's special effects will get a 20% discount. "
"Boom."
After Steyr said this, the whole scene exploded.
"Damn, new special effects technology. Steyr Networks is really amazing."
"This time, Kungfu Xiao is in big trouble. The efficiency of Paramount's special effects technology has increased by one-third. How can fantasy compare to it? "
The reporters took photos with their cameras and video cameras while discussing enthusiastically with the people next to them.
The impact of this news on Hollywood and the international film industry was too great. Especially to Xiao Yun Hai, this was absolutely bad news that couldn't get any worse.
"Mr. Steyr, congratulations to Paramount's special effects technology for making such progress. What kind of changes do you think this will have on the international film industry?"
David Steyr laughed and said, "Of course it will have a huge impact. It is inevitable that new technology will replace old technology. We can't stay in the same place forever. "
