Chapter 476 We All Misunderstood Teacher Shen
While Shen Lang and his team were busy filming "The Richest Man in Xihong City", Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Soccer" and Li An's "Lust, Caution" were also attracting much attention.
"Shaolin Soccer", although the outside world does not know the name of the movie yet, almost all media already know that Zhou Xingxing has joined Shen Lang and Gu Jialan's Jialan Entertainment. Although Xinghui still exists, it is just a film company under Jialan Entertainment.
What's more, Stephen Chow suffered a setback in filming "A Chinese Odyssey" and the box office revenue was a complete failure, which made many people watch his subsequent joke.
Over the years, Zhou Xingxing has offended many people because of his personality and other reasons, and these people wish he would never recover.
As for "Lust, Caution", there are more topics here.
First of all, Shen Lang refused to play the leading role in the movie, which made many people unhappy.
Especially the people of Wandao.
Shen Lang got rid of Orange Entertainment, which was taken over by Wandao, and replaced the heroine Song Yunhua, which already made some people in Wandao very unhappy.
When Shen Lang rejected Li An's invitation, the people of Wandao immediately started cursing him on the Internet.
"When he was acting in Black Gold, I was blind to think Shen Lang was a talent! Now that he's great and won an Oscar, he can look down on everyone!"
"Li An is the pride of our Wandao. He has also won an Oscar. He is a senior after all. Why is Shen Lang so arrogant?"
"That's right, Brokeback Mountain and Life of Pi are much better than Pulp Fiction and Slumdog Millionaire in terms of artistic achievement. Why should Shen Lang reject Li An?"
"The guy even told Tang Wei to leave her teacher Li An!"
"why?"
"Why? There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Li An is the one who threatens Shen Lang, the Oscar-winning celebrity!"
……
This was not the end. Song Yunhua suddenly came out and cried to the media: "I know that the actors in the mainland are very united. They want to use their own actors, but I didn't expect that they would exclude our Wandao actors like this!"
"Then how do you explain what you said to the foreign media, Miss Song?"
"It's a slip of the tongue. Isn't Jiangsu Province also known as a place where JS is in bulk? They never mention the provincial capital when they go out! I am the same! I firmly support the motherland!"
"You are a treacherous person!"
"Why is it so strange? I think you are the bad media person invested by the drama tyrant Shen Lang!"
"I am W Island Media!"
"I do not care!"
……
Now, any topic related to Shen Lang will definitely be hyped up, and countless people are staring at Shen Lang with a microscope, waiting for him to get into trouble.
Peng Mo and others in the crew naturally also heard about Shen Lang's affairs.
Regarding this situation, everyone advised Shen Lang not to take these people too seriously.
To put it bluntly, a character like Song Yunhua may have some resources.
But she is just a small actor with some resources, and she can't reach Shen Lang's height even if she does pole vaulting.
Naturally, Shen Lang would not lower himself to compete with the other party.
But soon, some remarks from the "Lust, Caution" crew made Shen Lang unhappy.
Tang Wei: "Teacher Shen did say those things to me, but Teacher Shen is a very talented filmmaker in China, and my teacher Li An is not bad either. And I think the role of Wang Jiazhi is a breakthrough for me, I like it very much!"
Liang Chaowei: "I like everyone to be calm and have a chance to sit down and chat. Teacher Shen may be a martial artist, so he speaks more directly!"
Li An: "He refused to play the role of Mr. Yi simply because Mr. Yi was a traitor."
"But some people are willing to give Japan real benefits, pay for a Japanese company to make a movie, save a Japanese company, but are unwilling to play a traitor!"
"So, it's clear who the real traitor is!"
Li An's words instantly brought up the topic of "Departures" in the afternoon and Shen Lang's filming in Japan, which had originally died down a little.
To put it bluntly, everyone temporarily chose to forget some of Shen Lang's actions because of the subject matter of the play "Departures". But this does not mean that everyone can understand Shen Lang's behavior of paying for a Japanese company to film.
Instantly, there was a wave of criticism on the Internet.
Some people even directly cursed Shen Lang on the Internet, saying that he was the number one traitor.
Damn, a few months have passed, and Shen Lang thought that everyone would just let the fuss go, and after a while, everyone would be cleared of the charges.
However, as the film was completed and about to be released, these strange remarks increased instead of decreasing and became more and more rampant.
This cannot help but make people suspect that there are other purposes behind targeting Shen Lang.
If Shen Lang were to follow his temper, his life motto would be: Live if you can, die together if you can’t!
The entertainment field is the field of public opinion. Once someone becomes famous, those people will always use public opinion to target him!
Shen Lang never hesitates on major issues.
Without saying anything, Shen Lang directly invited Shochiku Films to come to China as the filming of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" had just been completed.
The media soon got the news and speculated what Shen Lang was going to do.
"You're completely screwed? You're not going to pretend anymore?"
"I don't think Shen Lang is that kind of person. Let's wait and see."
"No matter what, I still think some of Shen Lang's behavior is inappropriate!"
"What's wrong with him? He didn't steal or rob, but he helped a Japanese company make a movie, so that's wrong?"
"Is the Japanese company Shen Lang's father? Why is he helping him for no reason? Why haven't we seen him help Pakistan make a movie?"
"It's meaningless if you say that. Isn't this just arguing?"
……
Public opinion was completely torn apart this time.
As the movie is about to be released, such arguments have become more intense.
The internet's water army and black fans are fighting each other.
At this moment, a video was suddenly posted on the Internet.
In the video, a group of people went to Jinling to visit the memorial hall and bowed solemnly in front of the monument to pay their respects.
At first, no one noticed the message.
But soon, someone discovered that the protagonist of the video seemed to be Kobayashi Dori, the president of Shochiku Film.
When "Departures" was broadcast in China, he also attended the premiere as a guest.
"What, this Japanese guy..."
"What's going on?"
"Could it be that he is...?"
Immediately afterwards, the official posted another piece of news that the president of Japan's Shochiku Film Studio and the president of the China-Japan Friendship Association, Michiru Kobayashi, brought his team to China to shoot a film to promote Sichuan Province's tourism... "Panda"!
Let’s look at the cooperating units…Jialan Films!
Upon seeing this, the financial sponsors of the internet trolls and anti-fans urgently cut off their funding.
Even a fool knows that if they continue to mess with Shen Lang, they will be throwing money down the drain!
"It turns out...it turns out that we have misunderstood Shen Lang all along!"
"President Kobayashi looks simple and honest, unlike other Japanese people!"
"It's great that they're making a tourism promotional film for Sichuan Province. The Japanese really like pandas and mapo tofu. This way our province can earn a lot of foreign exchange!"
"Lust, Caution will be released tomorrow and I must go see it. I want to see why Shen Lang rejected this movie!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Watch it with a critical eye! You might discover something incredible!"
