In the Far East, the two small countries facing each other across the sea are definitely enemies in all respects due to many factors such as history. Even if the two have a common master, the quarrel between them has never ended.
After Disney's press conference with South Korea, the Asahi Shimbun published a questioning article.
"It’s strange that the premiere of "Transformers" will be held in the capital of South Korea, instead of Tokyo, which has far better conditions than Seoul. After all, in a strict sense, "Transformers" first originated in Japan and later Japan has reached the heyday of the animation period, and Tokyo has a better film culture atmosphere, which is absolutely unmatched by Seoul..."
The whole article is full of Japanese-style arrogance, which obscurely renders their long-time enemy South Korean Bian worthless.
Such an obviously ridiculous article in recent years is definitely unacceptable to South Korea, which has been full of confidence in recent years. Their response was extremely fast. On the second day of the "Asahi Shimbun" article appeared, it was on several large forums in South Korea and North America. At the same time, it launched a public opinion survey titled "What are the areas where South Korea is better than Japan?"
This online survey triggered responses from many South Koreans, and the answers were even more varied.
"Music, TV dramas, movies, and other entertainment businesses are much stronger than Japan, and the popular culture represented by the'Korean Wave' is unmatched by other Asian countries."
"If you really want to say that there is something better than Japan, it is a movie about love. Japanese movies are no longer good. There are also shipbuilding and electronics fields that are better than Japan."
"Korean is better than Japanese, and Japanese is a language that has been influenced a lot by Korean."
"Is there anything better than Korea in Japan?"
Compared with the voices in South Korea, the people on North American forums are a little calmer, and there are also a few people who claim that South Korea has many advantages over Japan in terms of numbers, but in fact there are almost no mobile phones and TV sets. The parts of many products are imported from Japan, and the machinery used in the factory is almost all made in Japan or Germany.
Behind these slightly sensible voices. Almost all verbal abuses from South Koreans were accompanied, such as "Han traitor", "traitor", "no sense of honor" and so on.
Similarly, the remarks made by the South Koreans were quickly refuted by the Japanese. Perhaps it is more difficult for them to enter the South Korean network, but there are also many Japanese who study abroad and live in North America.
"Comparing South Korea with Japan is a stupid thing in itself."
"Love movies, online games... Is this the answer for elementary school students?"
"South Korea's entertainment, electronics and other fields are formed by'grafting' Japanese culture and technology."
"We admit that Japanese is influenced by Chinese, but it is said that it comes from Korean. This is too thick-skinned."
Many Japanese are also ironic-South Korea does have something better than Japan, paranoia, self-centeredness, and unfounded self-confidence! If you can’t win, put the blame on others...
There is no tendency for this public opinion war to go out quickly. With the help of a more free network, the two sides continue to show the lower limit of each other's IQ in front of the world.
Especially South Korea, they will be full of confidence and superiority at any moment.
"Take football as an example. The Japanese team will never become the leader of the East Asian region because the South Korean team has such a special presence."
"Running, speed, efficiency, technology, unity, these are the areas where Korean football is far stronger than Japanese football."
"In the 2002 World Cup, the South Korean team was third. If it weren't for the referee's unfair judgment, the South Korean team could definitely enter the final. Even lift the Hercules Cup! What about the Japanese team, what was their 2002 World Cup result? Poor ten Top six..."
South Koreans talk about football, and the Japanese refute in this regard.
"Japanese football is not good?! The so-called "World Cup myth" of South Korea is all based on the help of referees. Really South Korea is the center of the entire football and the entire universe? What makes Brazil and Germany so in love?"
"On the stadium. South Korea's ability to win by relying on various'off-field forces' is indeed unsurpassable for Japan and even all countries in the world. How did Italy and Spain lose in the 2002 World Cup. Who doesn't know in the world? "
"Wake up, South Koreans, do you know? The U.S. network even gave birth to a new coinage"-specifically refers to the opposition to South Korean-style improper punishments. South Korea that really has to be'admired' is embarrassing Throw out of Asia."
"South Korea is Pinocchio that can never evolve. It is self-centered and has no connotation of pride. If you tell a lie a hundred times, you will be convinced. Ignoring the reality, the whole world does sigh."
This fight spread from the Far East to North America, and then back from North America back to the Far East. The biting of the two sides was simply a joy, and they did not even vomit the hair that entered their mouths.
South Korea and Japan are annoyingly arguing on North American networks, and some Americans can't help but express their opinions.
"South Korea does have something better than Japan. I have been to Seoul and Tokyo. South Korea's plastic surgery technology is much better than Japan. Artificial beauties can be seen everywhere..."
"It is true. I heard that South Korean beauties are artificially made. If I face these cosmetic beauties every day, I will have nightmares if I cannot sleep well at night.
Seeing people's support, the Japanese even jumped up and down.
"South Korean women all seem to have the same face, and when they get older, these fake noses and fake mouths will collapse like monsters."
"South Koreans’'vusualism' has reached the point where it is hopeless. I really admire the thick skins of South Koreans."
There are also Japanese people who have posted photos of South Korean national idols—if such women are standard ‘South Korean beauties’, these women with big noses, small eyes and big pancake faces are everywhere on the streets of Seoul.
Even the Japanese ironically regard these artificial beauties as goddesses, and only South Koreans on earth can do it. This is an insult to human aesthetics.
Doing too much of anything will cause aesthetic fatigue. South Koreans and Japanese are making noise on the North American network, and many Americans can't help but begin to criticize.
"Just two small countries, it's really idle."
"I don't understand what the Japanese do with South Korean women, even if there are more South Korean beauties than Japan? They are all artificial."
"South Korea is hypocritical, and the Japanese are bullying and fearing hard work. The two countries will only obediently surrender in the face of the mighty America."
Withdraw from the Yahoo Forum, which is one of the main battlefields in Japan and South Korea. Ryan closed the laptop and stretched a long waist, and Nicole, who was coaxing Sandy to sleep on the other side of the sofa, couldn't help but look over.
"Is it funny?" Nicole asked while shaking the cradle lightly, "What happened?"
"Two dogs are fighting." Ryan walked over, sat next to Nicole and said softly, "Two dogs, you bite me, I bite you, the other's mouth is full of dirty hair."
"Japan and South Korea?" Nicole could roughly guess what Ryan was talking about. "Two boring little countries."
"Isn't it?" Ryan shrugged playfully. "It's up to them to quarrel, and it's best if they can quarrel to start a war."
"There is North Korea..." Nicole began to care about politics after "Argo", "They definitely can't fight."
"That's right," she said again, "North Korea is still protesting our trailer. Will it affect the premiere?"
"It doesn't matter, anyway, our products cannot enter the North Korean market through legitimate channels."
Protest or something, just publish it. When did Hollywood care? "The film also needs several human villains, aren't they the most suitable?"
The film will be released in China at the same time. Disney will not foolishly add some lines that are unfavorable to itself. Anyway, North Korea has more gangsters than Iran. It doesn't matter more.
A few days ago, the North Korean government also issued a formal protest to Disney, believing that in the trailer, Disney described North Korea as a country prone to terrorism, and put the film’s world premiere at the Seoul Tower. Obviously it has a different purpose.
Having said that, Disney really has no other intentions, just because the sponsorship price given by South Korea is higher. Disney also needs to develop the Far East market.
If North Korea is willing to spend more than US$10 million in sponsorship, Ryan will immediately ask Michael Bay to modify his lines. Even if the premiere of the film is held at the Yanggakdo Hotel, it is not something that cannot be discussed.
Nicole beckoned to call the caregiver, sent the sleeping Sandy into the room, picked up Ryan, went out of the back door of the villa, and walked towards the garden.
"I heard that you are ready to resume work."
Walking into the garden path, Ryan reached out and pulled a leaf of a hydrangea, "Is there a suitable script?"
"A few days ago, I talked with director Baz Luhmann." Nicole stepped over the leaves that Ryan randomly threw on the road. "He wants me to invest in and star in his new movie."
"Can you know the name?" Ryan asked with a frown.
"A story similar to "Gone with the Wind"." Nicole said as he walked. "It will probably be called "Australia" in the end."
Ryan turned his head and looked into the distance. He had seen all the movies starring Nicole in his previous life. Naturally, he knew that the production cost of this film was 130 million US dollars, but only recovered more than 40 million US dollars at the box office.
"Do you have any different opinions?" Nicole knows Ryan very well The last time I cooperated with Baz Luchmann on "Moulin Rouge" was quite pleasant. "
"I haven't read the script, and I can't judge." Ryan said while recalling the situation of another movie, as if the original was published this year, "Nicole, some time ago, someone recommended me a documentary theme. Fiction, I think it is very worthy of adaptation."
"first name?"
Nicole knows that Ryan can tell a valuable novel, she must not be wrong, "Couldn't it have been bought by Disney?"
"Of course not." Ryan lightly tapped his forehead, ""Weakness: Progress of the Game", it should be called this name."
"I'll let someone go and check it." Nicole repeated her name, remembering it in her heart.
"Also, Nicole." Ryan hesitated and said, "It's better not to release the film next year."
Hearing Ryan's words, Nicole turned her head, looked at him quietly for a while, and finally said nothing. (To be continued...) ()
