Chapter 378: Internet abuse and ban
To be honest, when Han Shanping came to Liu Zhou with the so-called sincerity of Lu Chuan and his son, he also felt a little speechless.
A public apology is a must, after all, you have publicly cursed others.
As for what other conditions you can put forward, please, it is you who should bow your head, not others. At this time, you still want to take the initiative.
If you are really sincere, you should put forward your conditions and see whether the other party is satisfied. If they are not satisfied, you should increase the offer until they are satisfied.
Now you ask them to propose conditions. What if they propose a condition that you cannot accept?
In the end, we still have to continue arguing.
The problem is, now they are in absolute control, are they in the mood to argue with you?
Therefore, the reason why Han Shanping was a little embarrassed was because the so-called sincerity of the Lu family father and son made him feel embarrassed to speak.
If they hadn't invited a leader with whom he had a good relationship, Han Shanping really wanted to walk away again.
He has a good relationship with Liu Zhou, but he won't make things difficult for Liu Zhou because of this.
After hearing what Liu Zhou said, Han Shanping felt even more that the Lu father and son were just putting on airs.
Han Shanping felt a little stupid, as if he had treated their affairs as his own.
Why are you embarrassing yourself?
As long as you convey their words, it’s none of your business what Liu Zhou does.
After figuring this out, Han Shanping suddenly felt clear-headed and relaxed a lot. He smiled and said:
"Maybe they have been high and mighty for too long and think that everyone will give them face. Do what you want to do according to your own ideas and don't bother with me."
"Boss Han, I'm a little curious, how could they invite you to be the middleman?"
"I didn't want to come either, but Lu Chuan's father invited a leader who has a good relationship with me, and I had to give him face, so I came here reluctantly."
"It seems that Lu Tianming's relationship is quite strong."
"He has worked at the Film Bureau for so many years, and he has indeed built up a considerable network of connections. The reason why people in the industry support Lu Chuan is because his father is indeed a powerful figure in the film industry."
"In that case, it will take some effort to bring him down."
"What? You want to bring down Lu Tianming?" Han Shanping said in shock.
"Isn't it possible?"
Isn’t the biggest reason why Lu Chuan is supported by everyone in the circle because of his father?
In this case, Liu Zhou will completely destroy his confidence.
In fact, what Lu Chuan had thought before was not wrong. It was indeed not easy for Liu Zhou to openly target him.
However, Liu Zhou was too lazy to target a small figure like Lu Chuan, as it would be too embarrassing.
Liu Zhou didn't even need to take action, Lu Chuan was already unable to resist.
At that time, "Jinling Jinling" and he himself were already surrounded by negative public opinion, and he arrogantly scolded the audience, which was just adding fuel to the fire.
Not only did you scold the audience, you also scolded Liu Zhou.
Liu Zhou will not personally confront him, but don't forget that Liu Zhou is not only the boss of a film and television company, but also a super popular director with more fans than ordinary stars.
Liu Zhou won't do anything to you, but Liu Zhou's fans won't agree.
We can scold Liu Zhou, but why do you scold us? Do you think we don't exist?
Although Liu Zhou's fans come in all types, they are famously united in front of others and have never lost a verbal battle.
With the combination of the two, the comment sections of Lu Chuan's Weibo and blog were instantly flooded.
Lu Chuan and "Jinling Jinling" also attracted abuse from the entire Internet.
Within two days of this movie and himself being released, their reputations became infamous.
Therefore, the box office of "Jinling Jinling" has been declining in the past few days, and now it is only one or two million per day.
Liu Zhou even suspected that most of the one or two million box office revenue was contributed by viewers who were curious about why "Jinling Jinling" was criticized so harshly.
Now, "Jinling Jinling" has been released for ten days, and the total box office is only 87 million.
You should know that in the first three days, this movie earned more than 70 million.
In other words, the movie only earned over 10 million at the box office this week.
As piracy began to spread, even curious audiences no longer had to go to the cinema. In addition, not only China Film but other major cinema chains were also cutting the screening schedule of "Jinling Jinling".
The single-day box office of this movie will soon drop below one million, and forget about the total box office breaking 100 million.
Netizens don’t just talk big online, they’re also action-oriented offline.
Not only have they been reporting this movie to the relevant departments, but Lu Chuan and the promotional posters of "Jinling Jinling" have also been splashed with feces in many places.
In comparison, Zhang Ziyi's ink splashing is simply weak.
Of course, if it was just online condemnation, although it would make Lu Chuan very anxious, it would not make him bow his head.
At this time, not only netizens were criticizing, but also a number of celebrities in the circle started to take action.
Liu Zhou has been in the circle for so long, and he doesn't have much in common with others, but he has a lot of connections.
Needless to say, those who are familiar with Liu Zhou and the artists under Golden Harvest.
As for those who have little relationship with her, they used to be disgusted by Lu Tianming, but they would not publicly complain about Lu Chuan. Now that you have offended Liu Zhou, what else do you have to worry about?
Fan Xiaopang, who claims to be the number one actress in Jiahe, was the first to criticize:
"On the one hand, they eat the food that the audience gives them, and on the other hand, they call the audience trash. People like Director Lu Chuan, who are self-righteous and ungrateful, are the real cancer in the industry and have no bottom line."
Fan Xiaopang was very tough. He directly called out the other party's name without giving him any face.
She knew that even if she cursed harshly, nothing would happen. What's more, she had been annoyed with Lu Chuan for a long time, and when she had the chance to curse, she would do whatever she wanted.
With the good start set by Fan Xiaopang, the artists under Golden Harvest immediately followed suit.
Qin Hao directly wrote on Weibo:
"You call yourself an artist, but all you have in mind is business. Don't take on a job if you don't have the skills. The suffering of the nation is not for you to decorate casually. If you don't have the ability, don't shoot it."
Finally, Qin Hao directly @ed Lu Chuan.
If Qin Hao had said it more tactfully, then Liu Ye would have directly started to curse:
“I thought Hoh Xil was good before, but now when I see Nanjing Jinling, I feel a little confused.
I really want to take off your clothes and see if you are wearing a Japanese triangular white cloth, and then cut open your head to see if it is full of shit. "
Huang Xiaoming: "'Jinling Jinling' is the most disgusting movie I have ever seen!"
Zhang Yi: "To whitewash the invaders is unworthy of being a Chinese!"
Mr. Zhou: "It is shameless to use the national grief as a commercial gimmick, but I didn't expect that the butt is still crooked. The name Lu Tailang is well deserved."
Hu Jun: "'Jinling Jinling' is not artistic enough, only 'Kadokawa Kadokawa' is artistic enough. Lu Chuan is not profound enough, only Lu Chuan Taro has depth."
In addition to the artists of Golden Harvest, even Jiang Wen and Feng Kuzi, who were at odds with Liu Zhou, also started to criticize him on Weibo.
Jiang Wen: "You should get your stance right before making a movie. It's embarrassing and disgraceful!"
Feng Kuzi: "No matter what, you can't scold the audience. The audience is like your parents who provide you with food and clothing. Who would scold their parents?"
At the same time, many artists in the circle also stood up. Although they would not complain so harshly, they are numerous after all.
The fate of a large number of celebrities caused this matter to completely go viral. Under the huge public opinion, even the official media could not help but step in and criticize the movie.
So even Liu Zhou didn't need to take any action, Lu Chuan would have been infamous for eternity.
Xiang Tai: "Flop! That's how I wanted to discredit Stephen Chow!"
But just because Liu Zhou doesn't have to take action doesn't mean he won't take action.
Although he couldn't deal with Lu Chuan openly, he had many ways to deal with him.
The first thing is to ban!
Without Liu Zhou's instructions, Zhang Zhao had already called the owners of well-known film and television companies in the industry. Although they didn't say it explicitly, they all understood.
Unless he uses his own money or finds money from other places, no one in the circle will invest in him.
Jiahe is not comparable to Huayi. When Huayi announced the ban on Liu Yifei, although many colleagues cooperated, even if Jiahe did not take action, Liu Yifei would not be completely banned.
Historically, Huayi was more powerful. Liu Yifei later joined the Hong Kong circle and still received many film offers, but her resources were not as good as before.
But Golden Harvest is different. Its strength and influence are much stronger than Huayi in history.
He is not only the industry leader in mainland China, but also in Hong Kong. No film and television company in Hong Kong dares to accept someone banned by Golden Harvest, unless he does not want the mainland market.
What's more, whether in mainland China or Hong Kong, most of the company's films are distributed overseas through Golden Harvest International.
This is related to their actual interests.
Everyone is hating Lu Chuan now. As long as you have a common sense, you will not offend Jia He for Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan felt that Liu Zhou could not ban him because he had not reached that level and was unable to see the situation clearly.
It would be easy for Jiahe to ban him.
In addition to the "civilian" ban, Liu Zhou is also operating an official ban.
The problem with "Jinling Jinling" is too obvious, so there is no problem in applying to ban it.
However, this movie has already passed the review after all, and if the official does not have a clear reason, it is rare to ban someone.
Although there was no clear ban notice, with Liu Zhou's operation, Lu Chuan has been added to the blacklist. His films will be subject to key review in the future, and the various levels will be several times more difficult than those for ordinary films.
This can be considered a semi-ban. Of course, if Lu Chuan were to make underground films like the sixth-generation directors, that would be another matter.
Under this double ban, Rikutaro will never be able to make movies again.
Liu Zhou usually leaves a way out when doing things. Most of the time it's not because he is kind, but because he wants to leave a good reputation for himself. However, there is no need to hold back for some people.
People like Lu Tailang should be beaten to death with a stick, then nailed shut in the coffin, buried with compacted soil, smeared with cement, and then pressed down with a few large stones. This is the best way.
It is better to chase the poor bandits with courage, not to be a famous scholar!
Liu Zhou knew that Lu Chuan's greatest reliance was his father Lu Tianming. In order to prevent him from crawling out of the coffin, he also wanted to stop him from thinking about it.
So he took Lu Tianming down as well.
