Chapter 39 The Ellen Show

“Movies are indeed a place that has something to do with art and talent, but in fact, making movies is a business, not an art.”

Xiaobai sat on the sofa and answered Allen's question about his talent: "For example, I asked me for two days ago to look for me to direct a movie. They promised to pay me 30 million US dollars in director..."

"Oh my God, 30 million dollars! Did you agree?"

"No..." Xiaobai smiled: "I know what they value me. In fact, whether it is a producer, author, actor or director, what Hollywood values ​​is not talent. It is the potential for profit. Many times, what impresses Hollywood companies is not the artistic nature of their works, but the benefits that their works can obtain.

When a person's name has the ability to attract audiences, or attract money in the audience's pocket, then he is what Hollywood is looking for, the so-called "genius."

"I have a strong box office appeal in China, so they are willing to offer me a high price, but I am not short of money..."

He spread his hands and made a helpless expression: "What impresses me now is not the pay, but the work!"

"So, you bought the copyright of "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum", "The Prosecution Witness", and "The Jade Girl Romance"?"

"Yes, Billy Wyder's movie should be remade!"

Xiaobai continued: "In my mind, he is an irreplicable master. Since I came into contact with the movie, Billy Wilder has placed my dreams!"

"Yes, Billy Wilde is a master in the minds of many people...what is "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum"?"

Allen is not that easy to fool.

"This is my personal interest. I like to study history very much. I find that the history of the United States in the 1960s is simply shocking. Of course, I have read the works of these masters, Ken Kersey, Alan Ginsberg, Philip Roth and Joseph Heller. In fact, what I am most interested in is "Catch 22", but that book is too classic, and I really dare not move around casually!"

This is, "Catch-22" is ranked among the top 100 best-selling lists all year round, and is a must-read classic for American high school students...

“…Talk about "The Man on the Moon", why do you direct such a work?"

Xiaobai was silent for a moment before speaking: "Actually, many comedians are miserable. My favorite comedian Robin Williams committed suicide due to depression. Mr. Chaplin, Jim Carrey, and Mr. Bean all suffer from depression... Even Yuto Usui, the author of "Crayon Shin-chief", committed suicide due to depression. I met Mr. Jim Carrey two years ago. His condition was OK. I talked to him about Andy Kaufman. I knew Andy Kaufman was his idol, and then I had the script concept of "The Man on the Moon"!"

"I hope that when someone plays a biopic of Mr. Jim Carrey in the future, the final subtitles will not be 'Jim Carrey has not won an Oscar in his entire life...'"

"…You're a comedian too, are you?"

"Yes, so I can empathize!"

The topic was a bit heavy, so Xiaobai quickly changed: "Talk something else!"

Allen suddenly took out an album: "Do you know kris?"

“…I know.”

Xiaobai suddenly had an ominous premonition. Last year, Mr. Wu’s fans’ slutty operation itunes annual rankings directly let people around the world understand the power of the “Chinese Navy”!

Slaughtered the entire American itunes music rankings!

The songs of A and Lady Gaga can only be mixed with his tracks "trembling", the songs of Queens can only "respect", and even the estimated sales of the record once exceeded Lady Gaga by 1,750 times!

For a moment, all the Americans were asking: "who the fuk is this kris wu guy?"

While the American people were confused, a star named Wu from China announced the "war situation" of his new song to domestic fans at the right time!

That’s right, he is our “skr little prince”, and the new generation of old cannons are also popular!

Then, Mr. Wu's songs were removed from malicious data by itunes because of the rankings, and all the rankings dropped to 100, while A's new singles came to the top...

This annoyed Mr. Wu’s true fans. They were obviously loyal fans and they spent real money. Why did they become a navy army?

But American fans of A-mei, lady gaga, don’t think so. Such a large-scale volume cannot be manually operated. What kind of mini-programs must be used to make it on the list!

Wow, it’s rare and weird!

The American people far away from the other side of the earth really don’t know how powerful Chinese fan circles are. Mr. Wu’s fans have been preparing for this day for several months, and they have raised millions of funds!

What is the slaughter of a list?

Not once or twice. The domestic fan circle's "review control and ranking" technology has already been perfect. Didn't Cai Xukun and Zhang Yixing also top the IUNES US ranking before?

But it wasn't so fierce last time...

What does it mean to be embarrassed abroad? This is it!

"I heard that itunes is preparing to open a China zone..."

The smile on Allen's face had an unconcealable contempt...

“…Uh, what do you mean by this? I don’t think it’s necessary…”

What can Xiaobai say, he can only laugh, and then he thought of something: "Yes, kris is not Chinese, he is Canadian!"

"Canadian?"

"Yes, like Justin Bieber, they are Canadians!"

“…No wonder!”

Alan thoughtfully and nodded...

Although Justin Bieber has restrained himself in recent years, his actions have annoyed most Americans, and they are clamoring to drive him out of the United States...

...

Itunes is preparing to open a China zone, this kind of thing is not new!

The itunes chart is to tell everyone: Which songs are more popular in a specific region? It is not to be richer than which fans! It is to limit the region and the number of purchases, it is to limit this behavior of relying on money to rank!

Let me tell you the fact that after Imdb was launched in India, a group of messy movies came to the top 250 people, and then Imdb directly separated the Indian sector. Don’t you like to brush it, just brush it!

If the itunes music ranking list has a Chinese musician zone, what does this mean?

It means that Chinese music is not included in pop music!

Second-rate music...

You are not worthy of competing with European and American music!

Fortunately, domestic movie fans don’t care much about Imdb. Otherwise, because of the novice, Chinese movies will be separated separately, which will be a national sinner!

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, Xiaobai clicked on Weibo: "Please hold on, don't do it so obviously. I was criticized for being criticized on a variety show, and I'm losing my Chinese face, do you know?"

"Also, itunes is ready to open a China zone, your victory!"

By the way @小小小小小小…

Xiaobai is not the talk show with only a few million fans. He has more than 80 million fans. He scolds anyone he wants to scold. He was criticized by Allen, so of course he has to find it back!
Chapter completed!
