Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 452 Jiangnan Leather Factory, Didn't Go Bankrupt?

"But the second half is just too heart-wrenching!"

"After watching it a second time, I prepared for a third viewing and discovered many thought-provoking details!"

"Are there any more thought-provoking or frightening details? Could the person upstairs elaborate? There are some parts I didn't understand, and I plan to watch it again!"

"There's too much to reveal. I'll just share a few to avoid spoilers, such as the identity of the ultimate boss, the time of Supreme Treasure's death, several timelines, and many other exciting details!"

"When I was watching it, I was so busy laughing and crying that I didn't pay any attention to these details!"

"It seems that A Chinese Odyssey is even more exciting than we expected!"

"Without further ado, let's continue with the second viewing!"

"I must watch it again!"

A flood of positive reviews online has shaken the resolve of viewers who were previously influenced by Lulu and film critic Rodden, prompting them to decide to experience the film for themselves.

Discussions seemed to revolve around "A Chinese Odyssey," and those who hadn't seen the film felt a lack of resonance when interacting with friends.

So they had no choice but to go to the cinema and finally saw this masterpiece hailed as a classic in film history.

After the movie ended, they realized that they had almost missed this masterpiece that would go down in history!
The film blends humor and heartfelt themes, maintaining a consistently high production quality! The visuals are stunning, even the theme song is deeply moving, and the entire film is flawless!
Those who are belittling me are talking complete nonsense!

The comment sections on Lulu's and several well-known film critics' Weibo posts started to get lively.

"Oh my god, I was almost misled! 'A Chinese Odyssey' is absolutely amazing!"

"Are these people jealous of Brother Xia's talent? They can't even make a good movie themselves, yet they're trying to smear Brother Xia!"

"I suspect they didn't even finish junior high school, otherwise how could they have missed such a wonderful work?"

"These trashy film critics know absolutely nothing about movies!"

"Sigh, I guess it's because Brother Xia didn't treat you to milk tea, that's why you're making fun of him. It's utterly ridiculous!"

Meanwhile, the global opening day box office rankings have also been revealed.

North America: $5000 million!
Europe: $3000 million!
Asia (excluding China): US$4500 million!
Africa: $500 million!
……

The achievement of grossing over $2.23 million worldwide on its opening day has broken records for Chinese-language films and non-Hollywood films!

On major international social media platforms, "A Chinese Odyssey" has received rave reviews:

"This movie was amazing! It made me laugh and cry at the same time!"

"Director Zhou's works have never disappointed me; this is the most wonderful foreign language film ever!"

"Why couldn't Supreme Treasure and Zixia be together? I'm not reconciled, this ending is too cruel!"

"Sun Wukong's heroic and dashing appearance has made me fall in love with traditional Chinese culture!"

"A Chinese Odyssey combines the essence of commerce and art; Director Chow has once again created a classic!"

Overseas, Zhou Yang has won the recognition of audiences and become a shining star.

His films attract international moviegoers to theaters. High-quality works bring box office success; this is the superstar effect.

However, the importance of word-of-mouth cannot be ignored. A good reputation is the guarantee of continued box office growth!
The enthusiastic feedback from the audience shows that "A Chinese Odyssey" will continue to be a hit!

The film's global box office continues to climb, reaching $14 billion in its opening week! This achievement once again breaks records for Chinese-language and non-Hollywood films!
Even more remarkable is the cultural frenzy that "A Chinese Odyssey" has sparked overseas!

The film has successfully injected new vitality into Chinese culture and the legend of Journey to the West abroad!

On social media platforms including Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr, there has been a heated discussion about how "A Chinese Odyssey" blends Chinese culture with Journey to the West culture.
"Wow, Sun Wukong is absolutely amazing! I heard that 'A Chinese Odyssey' is adapted from 'Journey to the West,' I definitely have to watch 'Journey to the West.'"

"Haha, you're too slow! I've already ordered several sets on Amazon, one for each member of my family!"

"Zixia Fairy is so beautiful! I never imagined that China would have such a charming star!"

"I love the traditional Chinese outfit Zixia wore the most; it was so captivating!"

"Haha, that's called Hanfu, the traditional clothing of the Chinese nation. You can log on to Amazon and search for 'Prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties,' where you can find authentic Hanfu from 'A Chinese Odyssey' for sale."

"Hanfu? The glorious Han and Tang dynasties? That's amazing! I want to wear Hanfu too! I'm ordering from Amazon right now!"

"Hey upstairs, send me the link, I want to buy it too!"

Jiangnan Garment Factory.

Huang He stared at the several clothing production lines that were speeding up production, as well as the high-end Hanfu customization studio next door, his eyes flashing with shock.

A month ago, his factory was called Jiangnan Leather Factory.

Due to the deteriorating economic situation in recent years, Jiangnan Leather Factory has seen a sharp decline in domestic and international orders, resulting in increasing losses year after year.

Huang He had considered various methods, but the global economy has been sluggish in recent years, and the demand for clothing and leather has decreased significantly, making it difficult to secure orders even with great effort.

The continued losses were unsustainable, and what was even more worrying was that Huanghe still owed suppliers tens of millions of yuan in outstanding payments, with people gathering at the factory gate every day to demand payment.

In a desperate situation, he made the decision to run away with his sister-in-law!
Using tens of millions of RMB from the supply chain to take relatives abroad for a carefree life—what a wonderful thing that would be!
Why should I repay money I borrowed based on my own abilities?
Just as he was about to run away, a movie star suddenly showed up at his door, wanting to buy his leather factory and help him pay off his debts.

Huang He was very surprised at the time, he never expected to have such a good opportunity!

Someone volunteered to take over, which was a completely new experience for him!
Now that someone is willing to take over, Huang He no longer needs to run away and can continue living a comfortable life in China. Why not? Who wants to live abroad and suffer mistreatment?
Before this, he had always regarded the person who took over as a business fool.

Given the intense competition in the global apparel market, entering the market at this time would be suicidal. How can one compete with international apparel giants without sufficient funds?

However, the million Hanfu orders he received this morning opened his eyes and made him realize that his previous views were wrong.

"So clever! Zhou Yang is amazing! He opened up the global Hanfu market with just one movie, and recouped his costs with the first batch of orders. That's incredible!"

Huang He was very impressed by this, and at the same time, he was surprised by Zhou Yang's courage.

Investing hundreds of millions of yuan in the planning months in advance, even without knowing whether the film will be successful, is a gamble that even Huang He wouldn't dare to take lightly!

Besides Hanfu (traditional Han clothing), books related to "Journey to the West" are also very popular in overseas markets.

Many domestic publishers are working overtime to print books in order to meet the surge in demand from overseas markets.

Many traditional publishing houses that were on the verge of bankruptcy have been revitalized thanks to the popularity of "Journey to the West" abroad, with sales skyrocketing!

This demonstrates the astonishing consumer power of the movie merchandise industry!
