Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 413 The Godfather's release was pulled, shocking the world!
However, at this moment, Zhou Yang was most concerned about the movie's box office! He couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Zheng, what was the opening weekend box office figure for 'The Godfather'?"

"$2.76 million! It topped the box office on its opening day. The Godfather is a hit!" Xu Shanzheng replied excitedly.

$2.76 million?
Upon hearing this number, even Zhou Yang couldn't contain his excitement.

"Haha, what's even more interesting is that the Oscar committee actually apologized for you publicly on social media, haha!" Xu Shanzheng said triumphantly.

In the past, Carl Lewis criticized Zhou Yang, which angered Zhou Yang, who believed that this represented the suppression of Chinese actors by traditional Hollywood forces.

Seeing the other party in trouble now makes Zhou Yang feel happy!

Zhou Yang was quite surprised when Carl Lewis apologized to him, because those Hollywood bigwigs usually held a contemptuous attitude towards Chinese people.

Getting these people to admit their mistakes and apologize is extremely difficult; it requires winning them over with outstanding work, which Zhou Yang has clearly achieved.

After ending the call with Xu Shanzheng, Zhou Yang immediately replied to Carl Lewis on social media.

"#Chinese actor Zhou Yang: I sincerely thank Mr. Lewis for his praise. I really don't deserve the title of being hailed as the greatest filmmaker in history. Those of you who dedicate yourselves tirelessly to the film industry are the truly respectable people. #Retweet#"

International fans left comments and likes on Zhou Yang's posts.

"Zhou is absolutely right. Everyone who contributes to the film industry deserves respect."

"Zhou's character is truly admirable! He repays evil with good!"

"He is my idol! Zhou, I am so proud of you!"

"To be honest, I think Zhou is the greatest figure in film history!"

"That's right, based on his current achievements alone, Zhou Yang is already the undisputed number one in film history!"

"Nonsense! Zhou's films have practically monopolized the box office charts and IMDb movie rating charts. Who can rival him?!"

"The Godfather was so amazing, I'm already planning to watch it a second time!"

Meanwhile, the ratings for "The Godfather" on Douban and IMDb have been released, with a Douban rating of 9.6 and an IMDb rating of 9.3!
It successfully broke the historical rating records of both websites and ranked first!

This high score and positive reviews online attracted many viewers who were not originally interested in the film, and they flocked to the cinema to buy tickets and watch it.

The Godfather's box office also climbed steadily.

The next day, the daily box office exceeded $2.98 million!
On the third day, the daily box office exceeded $3.25 million!
The box office continued to grow on the fourth day, exceeding $3.45 million in a single day! The cumulative box office has now reached $12.44 billion!
……

Over the past seven days, the box office revenue of the movie "The Godfather" has been steadily climbing and has never fallen below $2 million!

The opening weekend box office results have just been released, reaching $18.56 billion!
Although this result was slightly inferior to the opening weekend box office of previous films, it successfully broke several box office records for gangster films.

It is worth mentioning that this film was written, directed, and starred by Zhou Yang himself, and its outstanding box office performance is an unprecedented success.

It can be said to be unique and unprecedented!
Many directors and actors who are familiar with Zhou Yang posted on Weibo to congratulate her.

"#Baoqiang: Congratulations Zhou Yang @ActorZhouYang! The Godfather's opening weekend box office has surpassed $18 billion, which is truly remarkable! I hope that one day I can make a film as excellent as The Godfather." "#XuShanzheng: Thanks to Director Zhou @ActorZhouYang for leading the way, I will also become a member of the $18 billion club, hahaha!#"

"#Huang Xiaobo: @Xu Shanzheng, you glib-tongued guy, how dare you claim to be a member of the $18 billion club? You've probably only contributed $8 at most.#"

"#Sun Honglei: Huang Xiaobo, you're just jealous! @Huang Xiaobo, you can't stand seeing others better than you. Zhou Yang @Actor Zhou Yang, if any excellent movies ask me to act in them, I'll rely on you and make Huang Xiaobo look up to me in the dust!"

"#YiXi: Brother Yang @Actor Zhou Yang, congratulations! As a source of pride for Chinese actors, I will always look up to you as a role model!#"

"#Jiang Wen: Congratulations Zhou Yang, The Godfather movie was fantastic! Very powerful! I loved it!!#"

"..."

Zhou Yang felt the support and encouragement from everyone, so he immediately expressed his gratitude on Weibo.

"#Actor Zhou Yang: Thank you for the support of my seniors and colleagues. I will continue to work hard and contribute to the development of Chinese films!"

Over the past week, "The Godfather" has remained incredibly popular, especially with some of its thought-provoking lines sparking a frenzy of discussion about "The Godfather" on social media.

"We should not hold grudges against our enemies, otherwise we will lose the ability to make sound judgments!"

"Keep your thoughts secret and don't let others figure out what you're thinking."

“I don’t care whether what you did was right or wrong. I just want to emphasize that only I have the right to make the decision because I am the Godfather, and only my death can overturn this reality.”

"You've chosen this path, you must pay the price!"

"Everything I have done, whether sinful or benevolent, is to protect my family and friends."

"Great wealth often conceals sins!"

"Let your friends underestimate your strengths, and let your enemies overestimate your weaknesses."

"..."

The Godfather's box office soared, reaching over $27 billion in just two weeks!
This achievement propelled The Godfather into the top five highest-grossing films of all time worldwide!
And all of this was accomplished in just two weeks!
Currently, the world is eagerly anticipating whether "The Godfather" can surpass $30 billion and break the box office record of "Titanic".

However, at this moment, Zhou Yang made an emergency decision that shocked the world.

The Godfather has been abruptly pulled from theaters and will no longer be shown!
After Zhou Yang made this decision, almost everyone thought that Zhou Yang had lost his mind!

Other films were pulled from theaters immediately, mainly because their quality was too poor to attract audiences. Films like "Asura" and "The Devil's Fortress" were examples of works that only harmed moviegoers.

In comparison, "The Godfather" has grossed over $27 billion worldwide in just two weeks, equivalent to nearly 200 billion yuan!
If it continues to be shown, The Godfather is very likely to break the box office record of Titanic and become the highest-grossing blockbuster in film history.

Zhou Yang is expected to earn at least several hundred million dollars more!
However, Zhou Yang resolutely gave up the opportunity to continue making money and decided to withdraw "The Godfather" from theaters. After this news came out, major theaters around the world went crazy.

Zhou Yang wasn't after profit, but the others were eager to make money!
