After everyone left.
Jiang Gangmeng immediately opened all the major film review websites and even asked some friends abroad to take screenshots of the reviews of "Kung Fu" posted by the top international directors on their respective social media.
Jiang Gangmeng took the phone, pointed at it and said to Hu Yibao excitedly.
"This time, all the big names in the film industry who participated in the preview of 'Kung Fu' gave it very high praise."
“Full marks!”
This time, Hu Yibao looked at them carefully one by one.
Quentin Tarantino said: "I am very grateful to the producers of 'Kung Fu Hustle' for inviting me. I have enjoyed a visual feast I have never experienced before. 'Kung Fu Hustle' is the best Chinese film I have ever seen. I am deeply impressed by the directing ability demonstrated by Mr. Hu Yibao in 'Kung Fu Hustle'."
Mr. Adou: "Before attending the preview of 'Kung Fu', I had learned about Mr. Hu Yibao's pioneering of nonsensical comedy. After watching 'Kung Fu', I believe that this style of comedy will leave a lasting mark in world history. If you want to learn more, you can go to the cinema to see 'Kung Fu'."
Besson: "The movie 'Kung Fu' is truly outstanding. Whether it's the filming techniques, the storyline, the special effects, or the acting, it's absolutely world-class. But what I like most is the romance in it, the romance between the little people."
Feng Hao: "It's really hard to imagine that a Chinese director could actually make a film as perfect as 'Kung Fu'. Yes! It's perfect! You can't find any flaws in it, everything is absolutely perfect. Don't pay attention to the online reviews about 'Kung Fu', they're all nonsense. If you don't go to the cinema to see it, then you will lose out."
Dehua: "The movie 'Kung Fu' has deeply moved me. This movie can definitely become one of the representative works of Chinese cinema in the future. I thank Mr. Hu Yibao for his contribution to Chinese cinema. As an actor, I hope to have the opportunity to work with Mr. Hu Yibao on a movie in the future."
…
…
After reading it.
In his heart, the stone that Hu Yibao had been holding in his arms finally fell to the ground.
The efforts made during this period have finally paid off.
Feeling cheerful, Hu Yibao patted Jiang Gangmeng on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Director Jiang, thank you for your hard work during this period!"
…
…
I'm confused!
Netizens from all over the world were stunned.
No one expected it.
Even someone as confident as Quentin Tarantino was captivated by "Kung Fu Hustle"; comedy master Mr. Adou raved about "Kung Fu Hustle"; French top director Besson even gave "Kung Fu Hustle" such high praise; and even a low-key and easygoing film industry figure like Feng Hao described "Kung Fu Hustle" as "perfect"...
All of this is in stark contrast to the overwhelming criticism of "Kung Fu" on the Internet.
It even makes their comments stand out and seem out of place in the one-sided criticism of "Kung Fu" on the Internet.
Many people were shocked.
The media, which had already prepared the manuscript and uploaded it immediately after the preview of "Kung Fu", and launched a fierce critical attack on "Kung Fu", were also caught off guard by the comments of these celebrities.
"Where's the bad movie you promised me?"
'It actually received positive reviews from everyone.'
Everything was beyond our expectations and not in our plan at all.
But these media outlets believe in the vision of the bigwigs in the film industry.
Therefore, after the preview of "Kung Fu" ended, none of the foreign media that paid close attention to it spoke out at the first time.
It's not that they don't want to talk.
Instead, they are now rushing to revise the manuscript, changing the previously prepared criticisms of "Kung Fu" into praise.
However, some foreign netizens are still very unconvinced. In their opinion, China seems to be unable to produce good movies forever.
"These bigwigs in the film industry must have been bribed!"
"I never expected this! Hu Yibao has such a huge influence in the film industry that he can actually bribe so many bigwigs in the film industry at once."
"Haha, the Chinese are using money to buy them off again."
"If 'Kung Fu' were actually released, it would be a disaster in the history of world cinema."
"I will definitely boycott 'Kung Fu Hustle'. Even if I don't watch it, I know it's a bad movie."
"Director Quentin, is he still the confident director I know? Why is he praising a Chinese film so highly? His account must have been hacked."
Although these negative rumors about "Kung Fu" appeared on foreign websites, this time it was no longer a collective carnival.
Many people chose to remain silent.
No more words.
Because those bigwigs in the film industry who attended the preview of "Kung Fu" all accepted live interviews from news in their respective countries shortly afterwards.
During the live broadcast, just like their comments, they were full of praise for Hu Yibao's "Kung Fu".
American media.
"Mr. Quentin, regarding your online comments about 'Kung Fu,' some people say you were bribed. What are your thoughts on this?"
Quentin: "I knew someone would say I was bribed! Damn it, shut up! I, Quentin, am only impressed by quality and will never be bribed by money."
British media.
"Mr. Adou, after watching 'Kung Fu Hustle,' what do you want to say to your fans around the world?"
Mr. Adou: "I'm not just talking nonsense this time. Kung Fu Hustle is really a very good comedy. I like it very much."
French media.
"Director Besson, why do you praise 'Kung Fu' so much when it's being criticized online? If you're threatened, blink."
Besson: "What the hell is wrong with movie fans these days? They don't even watch the movie, but start to make random comments about it. If I hadn't come to China to attend the preview of "Kung Fu", I would really believe your nonsense. Friends, go to the cinema and watch it! The quality of "Kung Fu" will make you shut up."
Korean media.
"Director Feng Hao, is Mr. Hu Yibao's 'Kung Fu' really as good as you say it is?"
Feng Hao: "Director Hu Yibao is no stranger to us Koreans. But his strength is not only in his chess skills, but also in his films. 'Kung Fu Hustle' is truly a pinnacle of cinema, it's fantastic."
