Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 453 Promoting Hanfu to the World!
"Teacher Liu, who has always kept a low profile and rarely appears in the public eye, suddenly posted a Weibo message this time."

"#Renowned performing artist Teacher 6: I have some great news to announce. As you all probably know, the Sino-American co-production of 'Journey to the West' will officially begin filming in the second half of this year. I will continue to play the Monkey King, Sun Wukong. The impact of this news is not to be underestimated, as it has dramatically increased the interest of foreign friends in 'Journey to the West'! Sales of 'Journey to the West' overseas have soared hundreds of times! In just one week, millions of copies were sold, generating hundreds of millions of yuan in foreign exchange revenue for the country!"

"This is a truly remarkable achievement! It proves that my international influence remains enormous! It represents the enduring vitality of Journey to the West culture and monkey opera culture, proving they can withstand the test of time! Of course, I hope the relevant publishers will give me the rewards I deserve, after all, the surge in sales of Journey to the West is inseparable from my contribution. I am also a well-deserved spokesperson for Journey to the West! Thank you all for your support! #"

Everyone online was deeply shocked by Teacher Liu's Weibo post.

"My goodness, you're amazing!"

"Please have some manners! What does this have to do with you? It's clearly Brother Yang and 'A Chinese Odyssey' that made this possible! What gives you the right to claim credit for it?!"

"Well, Teacher Liu, although I am a loyal fan of yours, I still want to remind you that this matter has little to do with you!"

"Oh dear, you've really disappointed me! I never expected you to be so shameless!"

"Haha, only now do you realize his true colors? I saw through him back when he betrayed his mentor, Director Yang!"

"..."

At this moment, Zhou Yang is busy leading the crew to promote "A Chinese Odyssey" across the country. For Zhou Yang, nothing else matters anymore.

The box office of "A Chinese Odyssey" continued to climb, successfully surpassing $18 billion in its second week! Although it has declined somewhat, this is still a remarkable performance for a non-Hollywood film.

Meanwhile, some of the film's most popular and classic lines became a hit online, becoming objects of verse and recitation among young netizens.

"The one I love is a peerless hero. I foresee that he will come to marry me riding on a seven-colored cloud. I guessed the beginning of the story, but I cannot predict the ending."

"There was once a sincere love placed before me, but I did not cherish it. Only after losing it did I feel immense regret. Nothing in life is more painful than this. If God were to grant me another chance, I would say three words to her with deep affection: I love you! If this love had to be given a time limit, I wish it would be... ten thousand years!"

Does loving someone need a reason? Does it? Should it be? Does it really need to be?

"What joy is there in life, what sorrow in death!"

"Freedom is a kind of wandering; I've betrayed a love once, and I don't want to miss out a second time!"

"Look, that man looks like a dog!"

"..."

A month later, "A Chinese Odyssey" finally ended its theatrical run, achieving a remarkable box office of $23 billion worldwide!

It is something to be proud of that "A Chinese Odyssey" has successfully climbed into the top ten of the global box office charts!
What's even more remarkable is that "A Chinese Odyssey" stands out among the top ten highest-grossing films worldwide, unlike Hollywood and superhero movies.

On the one hand, Zhou Yang once again demonstrated his strength, proving that he can achieve high box office results without relying on starring in superhero movies or Hollywood blockbusters!

On the other hand, "A Chinese Odyssey" shows the world that Chinese culture is in no way inferior to Western culture, and that movies inspired by Chinese culture can also achieve global success!
Stories created with heart can win global recognition! Major domestic media outlets have also expressed their approval and praise for this.

"#RabbitNews: Zhou Yang's new film 'A Chinese Odyssey' has successfully entered the top ten highest-grossing films of all time worldwide! This is not only a victory for Zhou Yang, but also a victory for traditional Chinese culture! This marks a significant milestone in Chinese culture's formal entry into the global mainstream market! Congratulations to Zhou Yang! A bright future awaits!"

"#NationalDaily: Adaptation is neither perfunctory nor stagnant. Zhou Yang, based on Journey to the West, has re-created it by combining it with contemporary cultural needs, achieving outstanding cultural results. This is an excellent example that domestic film practitioners and cultural and creative professionals should learn from!"

"#Southern Weekly: Congratulations to Zhou Yang! He has successfully broken the Western cultural hegemony in the cultural field! A source of pride for China! A source of pride for Asia! A true cinematic master!#"

"#FilmWeekly: Akira Kurosawa, the King of Cinema, introduced Hollywood to Asia, while Zhou Yang, the Emperor of Cinema, introduced the world to Chinese culture!#"

"..."

Industry giant?

Major mainstream news media outlets praised the performance, which greatly encouraged Zhou Yang.

Will it bring a sense of recognition and honor?
However, what pleased Zhou Yang the most was a phone call he had just received from Jiangnan.

"Just now, General Manager Huang called to report that the first batch of one million pieces of traditional Chinese clothing overseas has been shipped to all parts of the world, and the customs declaration procedures have been prepared. All reports have been sent to Yang Tianzhen."

Currently, we are just waiting for the other party to receive the final payment.

Zhou Yang didn't have to wait long before he received a call from Yang Tianzhen.

"Hey, Xiao Yang, I have some great news for you! All the major importers have paid the remaining balance to us! A total of 13 billion!! After deducting the initial 300 million in costs, we actually made a profit of 1 billion!!"

Yang Tianzhen was extremely excited. He had once mocked Zhou Yang for wanting to get involved in the clothing industry, but now he was amazed that Zhou Yang was simply a genius!
Zhou Yang chuckled and said, "Haha, just as I expected, Sister Tianzhen, do you know why?"

Yang Tianzhen, sounding slightly confused, asked on the other end of the phone, "Why?"

"Because the annual kimono market in island nations is worth tens of billions of RMB, the global market potential is at least ten times that of the kimono market!"

"Currently, Hanfu is still in a stage of rapid development in China, and no leading Hanfu brand has yet emerged. However, with the post-95 generation's love for traditional culture, the popularity of Hanfu is gradually increasing. I am using the movie 'A Chinese Odyssey' to promote our Hanfu brand 'Prosperous Han Tang' overseas. On the one hand, we are expanding the market, and on the other hand, we are implementing an international strategy to encircle the domestic market, striving to become the number one brand in the Hanfu industry. At that time, we will dominate this market worth hundreds of billions!"

"More importantly, we can promote Hanfu by leveraging the IP of historical dramas and Hanfu, which is an advantage that other Hanfu brands cannot match!"

"This is just the beginning!"

Hearing Zhou Yang's insightful analysis, Yang Tianzhen was dumbfounded on the other end of the phone!
To his surprise, Zhou Yang not only performed exceptionally well, but also possessed an extraordinary business acumen that was truly astounding!

Even more surprisingly, Zhou Yang's ambition was to control a vast business empire!
