Although the media present that day did not announce the bet between Li Zhifan and Austin, they all posted some hinting articles.

"Many blockbusters on New Year's Day are coming, which one wins the championship?"

"New Year's Movie Guide: "Infernal Affairs" Meets "Insect Day"!"

"Which movie would you like to watch between two legendary directors?"

“…”

The major movie public accounts sell this style, so they will naturally compare two movies.

Once you compare, you will have a sideline and there will be differences among the fans.

Austin's crazy promotion during this period has also had a lot of results. At least more Chinese people have met this international director of beards, and Li Zhifan's full-net marketing methods have a wider range of nets, because in this era, there are really few people who do not use their mobile phones or go online.

With Li Zhifan's influence in China, Austin is incomparable to his popularity.

This is the home court advantage.

With the right time, place and people, it is difficult for Li Zhifan to lose this bet!

Online, countless netizens were even crazily calculating for Li Zhifan's new movie, the tap water, and they were calculating everywhere.

"Support Director Li! Support "Infernal Affairs"!"

"I won't say anything, my whole family contributed 6 movie tickets to "Infernal Affairs"!"

"You must watch Li Zhifan's movies. This time he is still the starring actor. Those who have watched "Wolf Warrior" know his acting skills and firmly support them!"

"I won't watch that Austin movie. Have you ever seen his "Kyoto Gunshots"? He has insulted China and criticized our police officers. Can such a movie be released?"

“…”

However, some people are still worried that his myth will be shattered this time.

"Wow! Austin, this "Insect Day" has a good box office abroad. Li Zhifan dares to be on the same day as him. Moreover, the two movies are exactly the same and have the same match. This time Li Zhifan may not be able to take the lead."

"Hollywood blockbusters have always been unstoppable and are invincible. This time, Li Zhifan is afraid that he will fall even more."

"Yes, many movies have given up because of "Insect Day". "Infernal Affairs" dares to be tough, but I am afraid that it will not be able to copy the box office myth of "Wolf Warrior"."

“…”

I was worried that Li Zhifan's movie would fail in front of Austin, and at least I had a kind heart.

But in comparison, those who have no brainstorms Li Zhifan are a bit shameless.

One is that he is biased against Li Zhifan himself, such as fans of Wu Coke, and fans of other celebrities who have been targeted or accidentally hurt by Li Zhifan. This kind of moment naturally means he is to strongly criticize Li Zhifan, hoping that he will lose the box office and lose so much that he only has underwear left.

Another type is that there are fans who have brainlessly advocated Hollywood blockbusters. Among these people, some still regard Austin as a myth and a beacon of literary films; some worship foreigners in all aspects of life; some "only watch" Hollywood blockbusters and look down on domestic films, especially those who are Bibanwen. In their eyes, domestic films have no possibility of comparing with foreign blockbusters, and only those who lose even worse when they meet.

For these people, without Li Zhifan coming forward, his hardcore fans would tear them to pieces. Those who usually only use sarcastic words to use some sarcastic vocabulary are gradually becoming powerless under all kinds of humiliation and swear words.

...

There were many Asian directors attending the conference that day. In other Asian countries, many directors attending the conference on the same day had already touched the bet between Li Zhifan and Austin into the ears of media in other countries.

So in the media in these countries, the news that Li Zhifan and Austin bet became popular.

Japanese media:

"Chinese director Li Zhifan challenged the famous Hollywood director Austin!"

"If you lose, you will always give up the box office of Chinese movies? Hollywood director Austin makes harsh words!"

"Hot news: The match between Li Zhifan and Austin influences the box office market of Chinese movies!"

Korean media:

"The showdown between China and the United States, the bet between Li Zhifan and Austin!"

"Insect Day will be released in Asia in full swing, but in China, there is one person who is not convinced!"

"Chinese director Li Zhifan showed his wolf-warming spirit, was not afraid of the pressure of Hollywood blockbusters, and accepted the bet of famous director Austin!"

The foreign voices quickly returned to China, but three days after the meeting was held.

Now even if Li Zhifan is unwilling to publicly advertise Austin's new films for free on his Kuaibo, it won't work, because this is the case with the Internet world. There is neither an airtight wall, and the news spreads very quickly.

All he could do was not respond.

But Austin was so happy that he was promoting a new movie in China at this time. When a media asked about this, Austin said arrogantly: "This bet is true, I believe in my work!"

This sentence alone proves that this matter is not false, because some people previously suspected that it was someone who criticized Li Zhifan and deliberately created fake news to increase popularity of Austin's new film.

But now Austin has clarified that although Li Zhifan has not responded yet, most of the people who are on the gossip believe it.

Netizen:

"Do it! So the two of them had a bet? Then what else do you say? I firmly support domestic movies!"

"That is, even if "Infernal Affairs" is a bad movie, I still have to sell tickets to support it, at least ten tickets."

"Yes, just make the shock that "Wolf Warrior" brings to me, and this time I also want to support "Infernal Affairs"!"

"The Chinese are not afraid of losing, because we won't lose!"

"Driving away the American Empire! Defeat the Hollywood movies that come to China to make money!"

"It's better to watch the quality of the movie! To be honest, just look at the trailer released so far, "Insect Day" has a very good special effects, but "Infernal Affairs" seems to be not a special effects movie, so it depends on the plot. As far as I know, the plot of "Insect Day" is not particularly good, and it has been sprayed into scum on IMDB."

“…”

domestic.

Many film companies in the industry have known about this.

After all, some directors participated in the meeting that day, and many of them were Austin's number one loyal fans and enthusiasts of Austin's art films. However, when it comes to this matter, they all showed a lot of secrets. Even if it is made public, it is still difficult to express their opinions publicly when interviewing reporters.

They all know that Li Zhifan can do this in the film field and make movies like "Wolf Warrior" and "Operation Mekong". Some people support it, and they also know that the status and voice of international directors like Austin naturally dare not say anything.

However, many of the hinting articles from those official accounts were also because they had the strength behind their backs.

Huayi Film and Television.

At the morning meeting, President Zhao Xiajun put down the entertainment news compiled by his secretary and couldn't help laughing: "This Li Zhifan is getting more and more popular. He thinks he is an invincible existence in this box office market. He is afraid he will fall apart this time."

"Young man! I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is strong, and I like to show off!" The vice president on the side echoed, "I participated in this meeting. I also saw the whole process. He took the initiative to provoke Austin and took out the movies he made in the past to criticize them against China. What do you say? It seems that the whole world doesn't know it, just like he knows it, alas!"

"I heard that this matter has been reported to the Central Propaganda Department. Radio and Television held a meeting to discuss it because of this matter, and I don't know what the result was!"

Another deputy general manager said, "But I thought I was going to watch it, the radio and television must be mixed with it. The Central Propaganda Department didn't want to offend the international director, and I was reluctant to criticize Li Zhifan, a patriotic filmmaker. I think this matter might be over."

"Then let's not say anything!"

"Yes, just watch the fun. No matter who loses, we have no losses anyway, right?"

"But Austin is going to lose. Even if Li Zhifan wants to enter Hollywood, it will probably be difficult. Maybe even with our other Chinese-language movies, they are a family."

"Yes, this is a mess."

"Oh! It shouldn't be!"

“…”

Xinfeng Entertainment.

Zhu Youxue has always been against Li Zhifan. Although he usually shows "support" Li Zhifan on the surface and has a "good relationship" with Li Zhifan, only two people know the grievances in private.

This time, Zhu Youxue will naturally choose to take sides in his mind. Moreover, his theater chain also bought two movies. Although the schedule is the same, there is one more important one.

"Mr. Zhu, can we borrow this to hype the popularity of this matter?"

At the conference, someone proposed this idea, "We don't have to publicly express our support for anyone, but you take the initiative to make friends with Austin and take a few photos to post to the Internet. Everyone will know our idea. Whoever loses will win or loses, and our hospital will have a very critical role. At that time, I secretly suppress the screening of "Infernal Affairs" and haha, give him a pot of cutting off the fire."

"inappropriate!"

Zhu Youxue shook his head, "This incident is different. Li Zhifan bet with Hollywood director Austin. One problem is that we Chinese people's own nationalism. Radio and television has already held a meeting on this matter. Whether it is success or failure, Li Zhifan is a patriotic act of winning glory for the country. His points against Austin are also in line with the points that our country denounces foreign public opinion. There is nothing to be criticized. We are not suitable for standing up for Austin at this time, and we cannot pour cold water on Li Zhifan."

"Yes! As far as I know, many Chinese National People's Congress directors have expressed their support for Li Zhifan this time. We are not easy to deal with these people!" Another director at the conference said, "Li Zhifan's behavior this time is a fight between filmmakers, and a big one is patriotism, just like the Olympics. Although some events have been dominated by foreign athletes for a long time, even if our athletes have little hope, they have to cheer him up? If they sing the opposite tune, they will inevitably be scolded by all Chinese people, right?"

"Mr. Wang, it seems you have an idea?" Zhu Youxue looked at the director surnamed Wang with a smile, wanting to hear his opinions.

"Haha, here I have an immature suggestion!"

The director surnamed Wang also smiled, "We should praise it, and give it hard, notify everyone in the company to go to Kuaibo, and in the circle of Yuexin friends, on their own media platforms, they praise Li Zhifan as much as possible, and shape him as he is, and make his movie a perfect god-level director, and make his movie a magical film. Even in our theaters, they should waving flags and shouting for him, putting huge posters, and starting their own ticket purchase welfare activities."

Zhu Youxue said in confusion: "Why is it not for us to do this to be cheap?"

"Hey, Mr. Zhu knows the word "Praise and Kill"?"

Wang Dongxiao's eyes were gone, "The higher the praise, the more you lose, the more you fall when you lose. Then he won't have the shame to stay in the entertainment industry, so we can take advantage of the momentum and make some disappointments to him. Especially Mr. Zhu, you can hold him on the QB first, and then wait for him to fail, then regret and disappoint him, and encourage him to get up quickly, let him take the initiative to apologize to Austin and apologize to Hollywood, haha, let's take the time to laugh at him!"

"oh!"

Zhu Youxue said, "We have worked so hard to mess with him, don't make it worth the loss, if he really wins..."

"How is that possible?"

Wang Dong said, "I have calculated the probability. If it is normal, they are equal. Moreover, no matter how good Li Zhifan's movie is, compared with American special effects movies, it is still not enough to attract audiences of different ages. Take young people as an example. Even if they go to watch Li Zhifan's movies, they will not be able to watch Hollywood blockbusters, but it is not certain to watch."

"And we can do some tricks!" When Wang Dong said this, a gleam suddenly radiated from his smiling face, making people react - he still has eyes.
