"Mr. Hu... huh?"
Tang Guoren's voice suddenly paused on the phone and asked, "Why?"
In the Magic City, in the office of a company under the Datang Group, Tang Guoren waited for Hu Yibao's reply with a puzzled look on his face.
"Kung Fu" was suddenly filled with negative reviews in the United States and Europe. For Tang Guoren, this was an opportunity.
An opportunity to do Hu Yibao a huge favor.
He was also prepared to report the matter to the organization, and the organization did so for Hu Yibao's sake.
Will take the initiative to step forward and calm it down.
After all, the power of the organization is so huge that it can influence the world.
And if they could use this incident as an opportunity to win over Hu Yibao, it would be an extremely profitable deal for the organization.
But Tang Guoren really didn't expect that Hu Yibao would actually refuse.
Soon, Hu Yibao's voice sounded in Tang Guoren's ears.
"This time, we didn't even need to promote it. 'Kung Fu' became a global hit. Now everyone in the world knows that China is about to release a movie - 'Kung Fu' - and that I am the director."
"There will be no worries about the box office for 'Kung Fu' in the future. After all, those who read Andre Quinn's review will probably be eager to see just how bad this film, which has been criticized so badly, really is."
Hu Yibao actually thought so.
Tang Guoren was a little surprised and said quickly.
"But, Mr. Hu, those comments are all negative about Kung Fu Hustle, and there are also many personal attacks against you."
"If we allow this to continue, it will be troublesome."
New World Chairman's Office.
Hu Yibao lay leisurely in the boss chair and replied to Tang Guoren.
"I saw it all."
"Regarding the negative reviews of 'Kung Fu', we will let the quality of 'Kung Fu' break them all."
"As for me personally, everything will be revealed by time."
Hu Yibao is very open-minded.
The quality of "Kung Fu" is there. As the god of directors, Hu Yibao is confident that he can set off a global sensation. In addition, this is also an opportunity for Chinese Kung Fu to go global. After "Kung Fu" becomes popular, Hu Yibao will let the Elite Martial Arts Association take action to bring Chinese martial arts abroad.
As for those slanderous remarks about him, such as Nobel Prize cheating and box office fraud, Hu Yibao didn't take them to heart at all.
A man of integrity fears no slander.
Hu Yibao was too lazy to explain things he had not done. It was simply a waste of time.
"Mr. Hu, you are so optimistic!"
"It seems my worries are unnecessary."
Listening to Tang Guoren's voice on the phone, Hu Yibao tapped his left fingers lightly on the desk and said with a smile, "No need to be redundant! Thank you very much for the information provided by Mr. Tang this time, otherwise I would not have known about this matter."
"It's getting late, so I won't bother you, Mr. Tang. If you have time, come to my New World for a simple meal."
"No problem, Mr. Hu!"
After hanging up the phone, Hu Yibao just stood up and was about to go to the New World Film Production Department to continue the post-production of "Kung Fu" when the phone rang again.
It was Chen Yu who called.
Hu Yibao answered the call.
The content of the call was the same as Tang Guoren's. This time, Chen Yu also told Hu Yibao about the movie review of "Kung Fu".
Hu Yibao refused Chen Yu's idea of using the Chen Group's connections to eliminate the impact of this incident.
…
…
In the film production department, Hu Yibao and Jiang Gangmeng met.
"Director Jiang, good morning!"
"Good morning, boss!"
After the pleasantries, Jiang Gangmeng immediately spoke to Hu Yibao with an anxious look.
"Boss, several of my friends overseas called me and told me that our movie 'Kung Fu' was badly criticized overseas."
"Look, these are screenshots of the relevant news that my friends sent me."
As he spoke, Jiang Gangmeng took out his cell phone and opened the photo album.
Early in the morning, just after arriving at New World, Jiang Gangmeng received calls from friends abroad, all talking about "Kung Fu".
According to their description, "Kung Fu" was completely a hit abroad before it was even released.
Jiang Gangmeng was very anxious. He had just finished communicating with his friends and wanted to find Hu Yibao as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures.
Jiang Gangmeng had never encountered such a thing before. When Chinese films were released abroad before, even if they encountered some ridicule, it had never been on such a large scale as it is today.
On foreign Internet, not only professional film critics began to criticize "Kung Fu", but even celebrities directly criticized "Kung Fu" by name.
Foreign netizens who did not know the reason followed suit and cursed, and there was even news about a boycott of the release of "Kung Fu".
After showing Hu Yibao the last news photo, Jiang Gangmeng asked hurriedly.
"Boss, what should we do next?"
"How about spending some money and using some connections abroad? I have a few people here who hold a good position in the foreign film industry..."
Before Jiang Gangmeng finished speaking, Hu Yibao calmly shook his head and said slowly, "No need!"
"That's it!"
"From now on, the only thing we need to do is to release 'Kung Fu' in the best possible condition. As for the negative news, let them spread."
After saying that, Hu Yibao walked straight towards the post-production room of "Kung Fu".
Jiang Gangmeng looked at Hu Yibao's leaving back, his whole expression was stunned.
"Could it be that the boss is giving up on 'Kung Fu'?"
…
…
But Hu Yibao's behavior in the next few days made Jiang Gangmeng dispel his doubts.
Hu Yibao was more dedicated than ever to the post-production of "Kung Fu". Even for a single look, Hu Yibao directly called together the original crew to reshoot.
Overseas, negative reviews of "Kung Fu" have become rampant.
Film critics from all over the world followed suit and launched a full-scale criticism of "Kung Fu" which had not yet been released.
Andre Quinn, the instigator of this incident, became the biggest beneficiary.
Thanks to a movie review of "Kung Fu", Andre Quinn's fans reached tens of millions within a few days.
He then produced film reviews of several other Hu Yibao films, criticizing them from various angles.
Attracted a lot of attention.
The name Andre Quinn has become famous and unrivaled among the freelance film critics in the United States.
And Hu Yibao seems to have really become a stepping stone for Andre Quinn.
In order to move up the ladder, Andre Quinn looked into Hu Yibao's background and found out that Hu Yibao's parents were pig farmers.
