Chapter 478 The Sea Cucumber Team is Angry
The sudden removal of "Lust, Caution" immediately attracted attention from all sides.
Some people say that it is inevitable to take down the painting because some of the ideas in it are too bad!
Some people also say that the nude scenes broadcast in the overseas version are the main reason why the show was taken down.
Some people even speculated that the instigator of all this was actually Shen Lang, who had been at odds with Li An for some time.
It was Shen Lang who used his connections and relationships to destroy Li An's work.
It is said that the film's lead actor Liang Chaowei burst into tears upon learning that the film was taken down.
Tang Wei also broke up with her boyfriend of many years, and there are rumors that she has been put on the banned list.
I have to say that Tang Wei's appearance, especially the cheongsam she wore in the movie, is very similar to a certain actress from another time and space.
Shen Lang also likes Tang Wei's appearance and temperament.
Unfortunately, Shen Lang told her to avoid this movie as soon as possible.
She doesn't believe it!
Then you have to bear the corresponding consequences.
It is said on the Internet that it was he who caused "Lust, Caution" to be banned!
Yes, no.
He did play a role in fueling the situation later on, but ultimately, there was something wrong with the core of the film.
Even if Eileen Chang were reborn, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood when she saw her works being adapted in this way.
While the media was still discussing this matter, Stephen Chow's film "Kung Fu Soccer" was released.
Don’t ask why it became "Kung Fu Soccer". It was because of the fierce opposition from certain religious sects, who felt that the name "Shaolin Soccer" would have a negative impact on them, so they kept protesting during the review period.
Shen Lang didn’t understand why “Shaolin Soccer” would cause reputational damage to the other party, but it didn’t matter. The main point was to listen to advice.
After all, the experience of "Shaolin Soccer" in another time and space is a lesson for us, and he doesn't want to repeat the same mistake.
Since you don’t want to become famous, then go for “Kung Fu Soccer”, that’s also good!
Compared to the heavy and gloomy atmosphere of "Lust, Caution", "Kung Fu Soccer" has been full of laughter since it was broadcast.
The Zhou Xingxing that was incomprehensible to people seemed to have disappeared, and the Zhou Xingxing who brought people laughter seemed to be back.
There are endless funny scenes in the movie, and every word of every character almost fills the entire cinema with laughter.
Even the film critics who wanted to see Shen Lang and Zhou Xingxing get humiliated had to admit that the movie was really interesting after watching it.
Moreover, on the third day of the film's release, more than 20 countries came directly to purchase the overseas broadcasting rights for the film.
"Kung Fu Soccer" even made its way to the World Cup, with scenes of kung fu kicking a ball shown on the big screen before the game.
Finally, Time magazine selected the 25 best sports films in world film history, and Kung Fu Soccer was among them.
Needless to say, before the movie was even released, Stephen Chow made a comeback, not only making back all the money he lost from "A Chinese Odyssey", but also making a ton of money.
He is now completely convinced.
Working alone is risky, but following Shen Lang, not only can he find good scripts that he likes, but he can also make money in various ways.
This is much better than starting his own company, spending a lot of time and effort, and finally becoming a pauper.
……
Three days after the release of Kung Fu Soccer, The Richest Man in Xihong City was released.
Another comedy!
And it was also created by Shen Lang.
The result is self-evident. The box office target that Lao Lu set for Shen Lang is easy for this movie to achieve.
Shen Lang released two comedies in a row, and both were related to football.
"Kung Fu Soccer" uses Shaolin Kung Fu to play football, which is very creative. "The Richest Man in Xihong City" tells the story of will and belief. Although the game was lost in the end, it won the respect of the fans.
These two plays originally told stories of life through the shell of football.
But what no one expected was that, with the overwhelming media reviews, the two films hurt the fragile hearts of certain groups.
During the screening of the film, one netizen commented: "If Chinese football could be half as strong as in the film, they wouldn't have failed to qualify for the top ten!"
"I feel that the Chinese team lacks the never-give-up spirit of the Daxiang and Shaolin teams in the movie!"
"What spirit do you want from the Sea Cucumber Team?"
"If you don't understand, just ask. The copyright of Kung Fu Soccer has been bought by the World Cup. Does this mean that the Chinese team has entered the World Cup?"
……
The netizens themselves are making fun of the fact that they are disappointed in their friends.
Unexpectedly, it touched some people's nerves.
In an interview with the media, Ma Tingxiao, captain of the Chinese football team, angrily accused netizens and some directors who have no knowledge of football at all.
"It is indeed a good idea to use Kung Fu to represent football, but movies are movies. We are human beings, not Kung Fu stars. We need to sweat on the field and use our brains on the field, unlike some people in the film industry who just need to stay in the studio and YY!"
"I really like a line from a certain movie, [That's not how you play football], and I'll give the same to the other person!"
"There is another movie. Please don't be too exaggerated. Playing football with willpower? Isn't this conveying an incorrect view of football to the audience?"
"Who on the Chinese team doesn't have the quality of will? But why did we lose? Sometimes willpower can't decide everything. We lack penalty kick skills, and the scriptwriter lacks some brains."
……
Ma Tingxiao's remarks instantly caused an uproar on the Internet.
Public opinion quickly split into two camps.
One part is ordinary people represented by the vast majority of fans:
"Ma Tingxiao is kidding, right? If you have any willpower, why didn't you lose to Thailand, then Vietnam, and then Myanmar? You have no shame!"
"What is Ma Tingxiao's level? He can be the captain, and anyone can play there!"
"You guys are not strong enough, so you can't let us fans fantasize about it? Last time Shen Lang banned Lust, Caution, which helped me quit porn. At that time, I wanted to be sworn enemies with Shen Lang, but when it comes to this matter, I want to stand with Shen Lang!"
"Stop scolding Ma Tingxiao and stop affecting his fortune. Without football, where would he make his fortune? If you cut off his source of income, he may come after you!"
"So disgusting!"
……
The other group of opinions are from professionals.
"Everyone, please stop criticizing football. Compared with Japan, how is our football youth training? Don't you have any idea? Think about how many fields there are in your city where children can play football!"
"Football is a systemic problem. It is not a problem of any particular person, and certainly not a problem of Ma Tingxiao. We still need to find out the problem!"
"Some people in society can only curse but have no contribution to football. If the famous actor Shen Lang has the guts, he should invest in a team and do something good for football!"
Imperial capital, Shen Lang’s home!
"Ding, congratulations on completing the task assigned by Laolu."
"'The Richest Man in Xihong City' is a big hit, and the box office is about to exceed 40 billion. We have already exceeded the mission goal, and rewards are being distributed now!"
"Mission Reward: CEO Halo! Commonly known as Cristiano Halo, Donkey Baby can turn a weak player on the field into an elite with this halo! Whether it's speed, physique, ball control, overall view... all the qualities required for football, all the values are maxed out! The range of effect is effective for players who have a contractual relationship with the host within a five-kilometer range!"
