Because of the huge controversy in the early stages, the audience who wanted to see if "Treasured Lotus Lamp" deserved the honor of the Golden Dragon Award went to the cinema to watch "Treasured Lotus Lamp".
When the audience came out, their expressions were very complicated. Although some of them were still clamoring that "Treasured Lotus Lamp" was not worthy of the award, most of the audience seemed to be a little dazzled and immersed in another world, unable to extricate themselves.
The next day, these audience members were naturally very excited to describe to their friends the various surprises and accidents they had seen the day before. Most of the audience members said that this movie was absolutely worthy of the Golden Dragon Award, and that this was a movie that no human being could miss.
Just like the crazy Fusang people, when adults watched a movie instead of a children's cartoon, they would find that there were more differences between "Lotus Lantern" and "Lotus Lantern".
Now, many people were more interested in "Treasured Lotus Lamp". They all wanted to go to the cinema to see whether this legendary movie was good or bad, and what it looked like!
However, the Daqian provided a small number of cinemas around the world, so it was certainly impossible to meet everyone's needs. Therefore, some smart cinemas immediately announced that they would re-release "Treasured Lotus Lamp", but they would charge a fee.
However, the fee could not stop the audience's curiosity. As a result, all the cinemas that re-released "Treasured Lotus Lamp" were pleasantly surprised to find that their screening rooms were full of curious audience members, and a large number of audience members were waiting in line to buy tickets.
Then, naturally, they increased the number of screenings, the number of screenings, and the number of cinemas. Originally, after several months of settling down, "Treasured Lotus Lamp" had a daily box office of zero except for the Fusang. However, on the first day of re-release, "Treasured Lotus Lamp" reappeared on the North American box office list with a box office of 8 million US dollars.
Then, it directly rushed to 20 million US dollars on the second day, and 30 million US dollars on the third day.
At the same time, the first wave of media reports after watching the movie came out. These media reports were surprisingly consistent, saying that they had wrongly blamed an excellent movie!
Then, the media said that after watching the Treasured Lotus Lantern movie, they realized that the Treasured Lotus Lantern had created an unprecedented eastern mythological world for them. It was a completely new world that was completely different from the western mythological world.
At the same time, the painting, background, story depth, etc. of the entire movie had almost reached the pinnacle of a 2D animation. Every background and scene of the animation was like the most gorgeous color, washing away the imagination of the people.
How was it? Were you stunned by this rainbow fart?
Many readers probably thought that the author was taking things for granted. Unless Boss Jia gave them money, why would the media and reporters take the initiative to admit their mistakes and praise a Hua Xia movie?
Well, it wasn't wrong to have such doubts. After all, even the BBC had started to praise "Treasured Lotus Lamp" this time. It was indeed very unreasonable and did not conform to the logic of reality.
But what if Boss Jia really gave them money?
Boss Jia knew very well that it was very difficult to whitewash a controversial movie like "Treasured Lotus Lantern", especially since it was a Hua Xia movie. The West was naturally biased. Even if the quality of "Treasured Lotus Lantern" was on the same level as classic movies like "The Godfather" and "Spirited Away", or even surpassed them, it was still impossible for the media to praise it.
Moreover, this was not the age of the Internet, where one could rely on self-media and word of mouth to make a comeback. Otherwise, the first wave of "Treasured Lotus Lantern" would have exploded in the box office.
Therefore, Boss Jia straightforwardly gave them money. Boss Jia found all the mainstream media in Europe, America, and Asia, covering about 99% of the audience. Then, he gave them money and asked them to praise the Treasured Lotus Lantern.
Then, what would the media do?
Of course, they would work for the money.
Some of the media still had some integrity, and some were hesitant. Then, Boss Jia straightforwardly told them that they could just treat it as an advertisement. They would just write the advertisement as a news article. As for the articles that were originally going to criticize the Treasured Lotus Lantern, they would not be published.
When the media heard this, they immediately nodded happily. They were just doing a very reasonable and legal advertisement.
Of course, the most important thing was that everyone who had watched "Treasured Lotus Lantern" knew that it was indeed a very good movie. Even if they praised it in all kinds of ways, they did not feel guilty at all. Because what they said was true.
Therefore, driven by money, the entire media market was filled with all kinds of flattering articles about "Treasured Lotus Lantern". Boss Jia did not spend a lot of money, only a little more than a hundred million USD. After all, the Daqian often cooperated with the media. Everyone had feelings for each other, and they wanted to do long-term business. No one wanted to offend a big client like the Daqian.
At this point, Boss Jia sighed. Fortunately, this was not the era of social networking, self-media, and Weibo. Otherwise, if he wanted to buy the world's public opinion, he would have to spend more than ten times the amount of money. Moreover, he might even fail. After all, everyone could say "Treasured Lotus Lantern is trash" in their circle of friends. However, it was impossible to buy everyone's opinion.
In the end, under the charm of Boss Jia's money, the entire Hollywood witnessed an unprecedented miracle.
The first movie in history that had been taken off the screen was re-released. Not only was it released, but it also directly took the number one spot in the North American box office that week.
The most tragic one this week was "Shrek". This movie had only been released for a week, but it had already taken the number one spot in the box office. It was still thinking that it could definitely continue to take the number one spot in the box office for a few more weeks. However, it was directly crushed.
And it was an animated movie that had been taken off the screen last year. This made the boss of DreamWorks, Spielberg, feel very helpless. He took the initiative to call Boss Jia, and then said in a complaining tone, "Mr. Jia, you should at least buy me a meal!"
"Next time!" Boss Jia said with a smile, "But I can tell you secretly, judging from the current voting score, 'Shrek' should be able to win this year's Golden Dragon Award for Best Animated Feature Film."
"…" Spielberg rolled his eyes, and then said, "No, this is originally mine. Moreover, your movie will take away a lot of my box office. How about this, for my next movie, you, as the best screenwriter, will be the screenwriter for me. Let's work together on a movie. How about this?"
Well, because of the amazing performance of the Daqian movie, Boss Jia had a good reputation in the film industry. Spielberg, who had failed several movies in a row, felt that he needed to borrow the luck of this "Hand of God".
"What movie?" Boss Jia asked curiously.
"World War!" Spielberg said.
"Oh, that's not good enough!" Boss Jia shook his head, "I have a new idea. Why don't we make a 2012 movie?"
