Chapter 2660 Bullying

Chapter 2660 Bullying

In addition to JK Rowling and the former president of the American Film Institute, Lin Feng also invited two important figures to write their review of "Legend of Sword and Fairy". These two people are called Tracy Sigman and Margaret Weis.

The names of these two people will be unfamiliar to many people, but when it comes to their masterpieces, they are very familiar. The two are the authors of the Dragonlance Chronicles. When it comes to "Dragonlance Chronicles", many readers in China may not be familiar with it, but in the West, it is a household name. Known as a classic of Western fantasy literature, it has been on the best-seller list in the West for dozens of weeks and is a classic among classics.

Of course, this novel was only created to highlight the expert-level "Dungeons and Dragons" system of "tsr" at the time, and it was a derivative of the game. But its popularity in the West is no less than that of the game "Dungeons and Dragons". It can be said that the two parties complement each other, are mutually beneficial, and are an indivisible whole. Later, countless games were derived from the rules of "Dungeons and Dragons" and "Dragonlance Chronicles".

Of course, the more important point is that "Lord of the Rings" is based on "Dragonlance Chronicles". It's just that "Lord of the Rings" excerpted fragments and did not fully show the wonderful story of the entire novel. After all, if you want to show the wonderful story of the entire novel, not to mention a trilogy, even ten parts may not be able to complete "Dragonlance Chronicles". This is a true masterpiece.

——I think "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a movie with Chinese oriental fantasy elements that is representative of Chinese culture. Both the protagonist and the supporting characters in the movie have their own meaning and value. This is a very successful movie. Compared with the "Lord of the Rings" which was changed based on "Dragonlance Chronicles", at present, I think the scene of "The Lord of the Rings" is more magnificent, especially in the third part where thousands of horses gallop to resist the invasion of the magic city. On, "Lord of the Rings" shows us a real race war. In this regard, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is much weaker. However, only two parts of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" have been filmed, and the truly exciting third part has not yet been filmed. Therefore, we can only put aside the third part and just compare the previous parts of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Lord of the Rings" Two works.

In terms of plot, "Lord of the Rings" is more ambitious, while "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is more delicate. One introduces racial aggression and a thousand-year conspiracy, while the other introduces the love between men and women. On this point, from a neutral point of view, I am indiscriminate. Personal love and the survival of a race are equal in terms of plot excitement. The only difference is which one you prefer to watch. Personally, I am the author of "Dragonlance Chronicles", and I personally prefer "Legend of Sword and Fairy" because it is a window for me to understand Eastern culture.

In terms of graphics, after "Lord of the Rings", I have always believed that "Lord of the Rings" has the best graphics at the moment, bar none. But the appearance of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" made me understand that the East can also produce such beautiful movie images. And unlike "The Lord of the Rings", many scenes in "The Lord of the Rings" were shot in a studio.

It was post-processed, but "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was completely shot in a place called "Sword and Fairy Theme Park". Everything that appears in it, except for the fantastic magic spells in the East that cannot be displayed in the real world, you can see and feel everything else in the "Sword and Sword Theme Park". Especially the magnificent "Monster Locking Tower" was actually built in real life. This is crazier than when Cameron built a "Titanic" when filming "Titanic", but I like this kind of craziness.

As for the film's music, I think the music from both parties set off the plot very well. I'm not an expert on this, so I can't comment on it. If I had to comment, I like the music of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" because it is very oriental and gives me an exotic feeling.

As for the actors, the actors on both sides were well chosen and very suitable for their respective plots. However, in terms of supporting roles, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is slightly inferior. To sum up, when comparing "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Lord of the Rings" in all aspects, they are both inferior. Even if they are weak, they are not far behind. Personally, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a movie worth watching.

As a foreign movie, it would indeed be a pity if you don’t watch it! ——Tracy Sikman commented.

——Tracy's evaluation is very fair in my opinion, and my evaluation is similar to his. Although I don't think that the two films of "Legend of Sword" have reached the height of "Lord of the Rings", as a This is a foreign movie, especially a Chinese movie. It would be a pity not to watch it, as you will regret missing such a wonderful movie. As for the grievances between Lin Feng and American movies, they are only between Lin Feng himself and some giants in the American film industry, nothing more. This must not be a problem for everyone to enjoy "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Margaret Weiss also commented.

Two authors who are almost the greatest in Western fantasy novels spoke so highly of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" that it had an extremely strong response in the American film industry. As the authors of the most classic Western fantasy novels, the two of them admired "Legend of Sword and Fairy" so much that they even took the initiative to compare it with "The Lord of the Rings". This is an incredible thing in itself. This made the entire Western film industry feel a sense of humiliation.

As for the American people, since the two authors of "Dragonlance Chronicles" are so optimistic about this "Legend of Sword and Fairy" from the East, and 55 movie theaters in the United States are vigorously promoting it, they have no reason not to go and see it.

At the Western global premiere three days later, the box office was full. The ticket price of 5 yuan per ticket is by no means an unbearable loss for Americans. If it is not good, the worst that can happen is a loss of 5 US dollars. For Americans with an annual per capita income of nearly 20,000 US dollars, a mere 5 US dollars is affordable.

And the result is that it is very exciting. Although there are very few people in "Legend of Sword and Fairy: Locking Demon Tower" and the scenes are not large, almost all of them are in the "Locking Demon Tower", the beautiful scenes of the battles between Eastern magic spells shown in the whole movie and the lifelike scenes of the Locking Demon Tower have made Western audiences very excited. The Eastern fantasy magic system is a completely novel concept for the West, but it is full of logic and extremely rigorous.

And the separation of life and death in the end made Westerners who have always advocated love particularly moved. This practice of sacrificing oneself for a rival is very shocking to Westerners who believe in the aesthetics of love. Although they think that the love in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" develops too slowly and that the relationship between men and women is a bit too restrained and cautious, the great power of love fascinates them.

Watch it once, and if you are not satisfied, watch it again. Westerners usually watch a good movie twice or even many times. This is why the box office of American movies exceeds the global box office. The "four free viewings" policy launched by Lin Feng makes Westerners willing to spend money to watch a movie with exquisite pictures. Regardless of whether they can appreciate such an oriental movie, the ticket price is worth it just for the exquisite pictures.

The first time is 5 US dollars, the second time is 2.5 US dollars, the third time is only 1 US dollar, and the fourth time is completely free. Just ask, how can such a cheap ticket price not be a blessing for those young people who are financially constrained but looking for a place to fall in love.

Naturally, the box office is high. Although it did not reach the incredible box office in China, it was still unacceptable to the Western film industry that Lin Feng's film could reach a box office of 70 million US dollars in the first week. You know, this was achieved under the situation of their comprehensive ban, relying only on the comments of a few writers, which made Sony Columbia and other companies quite ashamed.

"Damn it, this is all because Lin Feng controls 55 movie screens. If not, he would not have such a high box office!" Ibuka Izuyuki roared in the office. He had tried his best to create trouble for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". Together with other film companies, he asked major media channels to offer Lin Feng 10 times the price, forcing Lin Feng to give up the promotion. As a result, Lin Feng took a different approach and invited the author of the most popular fantasy novel in the West to promote "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". As a result, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" became a big hit in the West.

"It's all the fault of those authors!" Ibuka Izuyuki was definitely not a good person. He immediately sent someone to find JK Rowling, Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weiss. They were asked to modify their comments and make comments that were unfavorable to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and claimed that the previous comments were instigated by Lin Feng. What almost drove Jing Shenchu ​​crazy was that the three people not only did not agree, but also told Lin Feng about it. As a result, after Lin Feng sent people to protect the three people, he directly made this scandal public.

The world was in an uproar. Although it is normal for film critics to make malicious comments on certain movies, it is also very normal in the film industry. There are such unspoken rules in all countries. Even Sony Columbia, Paramount Pictures and other major companies have attacked each other before. But it is too funny to make it public like this. It is too disgusting.

Naturally, the audience all favors JK Rowling and the other two. After all, the reputation of the three is much better than that of the film company. Especially Sony Columbia Pictures, which is not a company with a very good reputation. For example, the animation before the movie of their company, the woman who resembles the "Goddess of Victory", although she helped Sony-Columbia shoot such a world-renowned opening animation, as an individual, this poor woman was impoverished because of refusing some unspoken rules.

It can be said that Sony Columbia Pictures has not had a very good reputation. However, for the audience, they only care about whether the movie is good or bad, not whether the film company harms the actors. But this time, such a scandal broke out, which really made every movie lover angry. You know, JK Rowling is the creator of the popular "Harry Potter" and an inspirational writer. As for Tracy Sigman and Margaret Weiss, they are even more popular with Western readers. These three authors were persecuted by Sony Columbia Pictures, how can it not be infuriating.

"I guarantee with my personality that this is definitely a misunderstanding. I have never asked the three writers to have any negative impact on Lin Feng. I just hope that they can watch the movie again and make a second comment on this "Legend of Sword and Fairy." Jing Shen Dezhi also knew the consequences and misery of angering the public, and hurriedly explained. However, even he himself felt that this explanation was far-fetched, let alone the public.

Many American people directly shouted for Ibuka Izuyuki, the Japanese, to get out and not to tarnish the old American film company. Ibuka Izuyuki was very unhappy about this. This company was acquired by Sony, and he was the grandson of Ibuka Dai, the main founder of Sony. He would not hand over the power of the company. This was a promise to his ancestors.

If Ibuka Izuyuki had handled it in a low-key manner under normal circumstances, the matter would have ended up in vain. It would not have had much impact on the company, but unfortunately, the opponent he met would not let him pass so easily.

"Although I am just a Chinese and a businessman, I am a businessman with conscience. I make movies to make money, but I will never do something that hurts the world. I invited the three writers JK Rowling, Tracy Sigman and Margaret Weiss to make an evaluation of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" that I invested in. But I never asked them to make any evaluation that favors my movie. I can guarantee this with my personality!" Lin Feng held a press conference to announce his personal attitude towards this matter.

"Mr. Lin, we believe you." There were many ordinary people in the crowd attending the press conference. They supported Lin Feng, so they came to attend this press conference.

Bastard! Damn it! Jing Shenchu ​​slammed his fist on the table. No one believed his personal guarantee, but everyone believed Lin Feng's personal guarantee. It was simply outrageous! At this moment, Jing Shenchu ​​had the urge to accuse the American people of favoritism. These people are too bullying. How could it be like this! Of course, compared with the bullying of the American people, Lin Feng is more bullying.

"And now, at my request, three great writers who I admire very much who wrote the review of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" were threatened by some intolerant companies. I am deeply shocked. For this kind of tasteless behavior, we must condemn it together and despise it together!" Lin Feng made a contemptuous gesture, "I hope everyone can go to the door of this intolerant company with me and despise him fiercely!" Lin Feng said loudly.

Jing Shenchu ​​was furious. It’s too bullying, Lin Feng is really too bullying. No wonder he held a press conference near Sony Columbia! This is too bullying!
