(TMI) - Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC), rangkaian pawagam terbesar negara ini telah memutuskan untuk menghentikan tayangan Nasi Lemak 2.0 arahan pembikin filem dan artis kontroversi Namewee.
Tidak dapat dipastikan sama ada ia ada kaitan dengan siri kontroversi sejak kebelakangan, tetapi GSC dipetik akhbar tempatan berkata keputusan itu diambil ekoran keputusan Astro menyiarkan menerusi saluran Astro First.
Laporan New Sunday Times hari ini berkata, filem yang telah mencatatkan kutipan lebih RM4 juta setakat ini dihentikan penayangan sejak Jumaat lalu.
Menurut laporan itu, GSC juga menyiarkan permohonan maaf menerusi laman sosial Facebook memaklumkan bahawa mereka yang sudah membeli tiket boleh mendapatkan balik duit masing-masing.
“Bukan amalan GSC untuk menyiarkan mana-mana filem yang disiarkan serentak di mana-mana saluran filem berbayar yang lain,” kata mesej Facebook itu.
Seorang jurucakap dipetik akhbar itu berkata pihaknya menayangkan filem itu sejak lima minggu lalu.
Dalam satu kenyataan akhbar tiga minggu lalu, Namewee atau nama sebenarnya Wee Meng Chee bimbang Nasi Lemak 2.0 mungkin diharamkan ekoran demonstrasi membantah filem tersebut di Perak baru-baru ini.
Katanya, dia kesal dengan protes tersebut dan berharap pihak berkuasa tidak mengendahkan desakan supaya filemnya diharamkan.
“Film ini mendapat kelulusan sebelum penggambaraan dan satu lagi kelulusan sebelum tayangan. Saya berharap pihak berkuasa menghormati keputusan mereka sendiri serta usaha kerja saya,” katanya.
Filem tersebut dilaporkan dikecam pihak-pihaknya yang mendakwa ia mempunyai pengaruh buruk kepada anak-anak muda.
Ketika mengadakan protes di luar sebuah panggung wayang di Ipoh, satu kumpulan yang menggelarkan diri mereka Pertubuhan Gagasan Rakyat Didahulukan Perak, menuntut kerajaan mempertimbangkan mengharamkan filem tersebut.
Menteri Dalam Negeri Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein sebelum ini berkata mereka yang tidak berpuas hati dengan filem ini boleh membuat aduan.
Menjawab soalan mengapa tidak mahu meneruskan tayangan meskipun mendapat sokongan besar, GSC berkata, pihaknya mahu mempertahankan hakikat bahawa institusi pawagam masih merupakan tempat terbaik bagi mana-mana tayangan filem.
Dalam pada itu, Pengarah Eksekutif Nasi Lemak 2.0 Fred Chong pula memberitahu beliau menerima keputusan GSC dan menghargai sokongan institusi pawagam.
“Kami gembira kerana menerima sokongan mereka lebih empat minggu meskipun kami tidak mendapat sokongan tayangan wajib daripada Finas,” katanya lagi.
Sehubungan itu, Chong berkata dia berharap mereka yang kehilangan peluang menonton di pawagam boleh mengikutinya menerusi saluran Astro First.
GSC menjelaskan, Nasi Lemak 2.0 bukan merupakan filem pertama pihaknya menghentikan tayangan.
Filem Bini Biniku Gangster, yang menjana RM7 juta dalam empat hari pertama tayangan juga telah dihentikan selepas tiga minggu apabila Astro menawarkan tayangan.
Filem Nasi Lemak 2.0 tidak memperoleh status Wajib Tayang daripada Finas, yang mewajibkan operator pawagam menayangkan selama dua minggu.
Pelakon Nasi Lemak 2.0 termasuklah Adibah Noor, Datuk David Arumugam dari Alleycats, Karen Kong, Afdlin Shauki, Kenny & Chee, Reshmonu, Dennis Lau, Nur Fathia, Nadine Thomas, Pete Teo, Ho Yuhang, Dian Sharlin, Felixia Yap dan Namewee.

Everyone know how Saudara Wee Meng Chee (Namawee) came to be known by others. He condemed everything the MALAYSIAN had except his parents... Today he is trying to promote 1MALAYSIA, he is just like anyother "FROGS" like IBRAHIM ALI... OSMAN JAILU... JAMALUDDIN MAT RADZI ....HEE YIT FONG .... NAMAWEE is not only a FROG but a SNAKE.... ..

Namewee didn't do anything illegal, did he? Why is he being punished for being so successful? Its akin to punishing Steve Jobs or Bill Gates because they are light years ahead of others? Then again, BN only knows how to pull back others so that they can stay ahead, whatever it takes.
I am sure the younger generation will condemn such punitive and propel NameWee into a legend next. International exposure is what he should look forward and with internation fame, come internation standards that BN will have no idea how to circumvent. ...

The only bad influence on the younger generation is the kind of governance we have. Widespread corruption, abuse of power, cover-ups, cronyism, non-accountability and political patronage. All these despicable practices when goes uncurtailed will become cultural norms after a few generations. We are feeling the effects now. ..

Tersurat gagal difahami, yang tersirat pun gagal difahami.
The film is not banned in M'sia. GSC merely withdrawn from screening the film because Astro took the "right" for broadcasting the film to their paying customers instead:
“Bukan amalan GSC untuk menyiarkan mana-mana filem yang disiarkan serentak di mana-mana saluran filem berbayar yang lain,” kata mesej Facebook itu.
According to TGV's website, they are still showing the film:
Bukit Tinggi
Mon - 10-10-2011

Well, only one TGV cinema for today.
I don't follow what's happening about cinemas in M'sia. This could be a growing trend of movies monopoly?
GSC menjelaskan, Nasi Lemak 2.0 bukan merupakan filem pertama pihaknya menghentikan tayangan.
Filem Bini Biniku Gangster, yang menjana RM7 juta dalam empat hari pertama tayangan juga telah dihentikan selepas tiga minggu apabila Astro menawarkan tayangan.
Wiki:
TGV Cinemas (formerly known as Tanjong Golden Village) is the second largest cinema chain in Malaysia after Golden Screen Cinemas.
I'm not defending GSC, just merely restating the fact. I'm also are not sure about the fact that Ananda Krishnan owned both Astro and TGV. Maybe someone can prove what I read/heard wrong?
Sometimes people say collateral damage happens, what's profound is when the intended anger is misdirected not at the source of the problem, but at victim of the symptom.
And no, pirated movies peddlars do not share profit with the copyright owners. ...

Since Nasi Lemak 2.0 has been withdrawn for public screenig, just buy the VCD from pasar @ RM5.00 which is much cheaper and the VCD peddlar can pay Namewee royalty. hehe , Government loses the tax while it sure make everyone wants to watch the film. Anyway, BN government loses in whatever action they do. ...

Salah sasaran jika semua ingin boikot GSC. Yang patut diboikot ialah Astro. Ya, boikot Astro.
Semua patut tahu di pasaran media rumah, apa-apa produk media rumah ditungga lebih kurang 3 bulan. Sebab utama, dalam 3 bulan tersebut, adalah peluang utama untuk pawangan menjana keuntungan.
Dari pandangan saya, ini ialah monopoli Astro dalam filem-filem yang mampu menjana keuntungan. Yang menjadi mangsa bukan sahaja usahawan-usahawan filem M'sia, tetapi pawangan-pawangan di seluruh M'sia yang terpaksa angkuh kepada Astro.
Saya masih ingat beberapa tahun dahulu satu berita MSM (sudah lama tak beli), Astro menyata harga bil akan dinaikkan atas sebab kekurangan keuntungan yang dihadapi. Di dalam halaman berita niaga pula, Astro menyatakan keuntungan besar.
Juga, jikalau ada niat untuk sokong usahawan-usahawan filem M'sia yang patut, jangan beli produk cetak rompak. Yang dapat untung bukanlah usahawan-usahawan tersebut melalui tindakan ini.
Saya belum menyaksikan filem Nasi Lemak 2.0, jadi saya akan tunggu peluangan dimana duit saya akan sampai ke usahawan filem ini. Astro bukanlah salah satu cara bagi saya.

Later can buy dvd la... Why so kepoh one? namawee sure got super rich already after astro bought the movie for astro 1st. I hear he got hundreds of thousands? U think GSC do not want money ka? They sure got frustrated when namawee sell the movie to astro while they still screening the movie maaa. TGV & astro are both owned by ananda krishnan. Those with twisted mind like the opposition will telling lies that the movie got banned.
Boikot TGV sama dengan Astro juga keke.
Juga satu trivia: Kebanyakan keuntungan dari pawangan bukanlah dari hasil jualan tiket, tetapi dari hasil jualan makanan dan minunam yang hanya dapat dibeli dan dibawa ke dalam pawangan tersendiri. ...

Aku ni sebenarnya tAk berapa minat tengok filem pengarah Malaysia. Kerana apa? Kerana cerita dan pembikinannya yg ketinggalan zaman. Ketinggalan zaman bukan pasal pengarah tApi pasal banyak sangat pantang larang kerajaan dan ngo sehinggakan filem tu jadi bodo. Contoh; jika nak buat pasal cerita polis maka dalam filem itu polis baik-bik belaka. Yng meluat tu polis berlakon sendiri. KAku macam kAyu.
DAlam filem nasi lemak 2.0 pasal kontroversi sangat oleh umnobn maka aku cari jalan tengok. Fuhhh.. Best.. Keep it up.. Teruskan usaha anda. ...

Tak apa, kita ada lagi saluran internet dan underground cinema dan pasar malam. Jani, w/pun disk pasar malam, kita derma RM10 satu disk kepada Namewee. Kerjaan Malaysia sememang dengki pada orang yang pandai bikin filem lebih dari golongan mereka yang langsung tak buat research dan tak ada degree. ..

The reason why Malaysian Film Industries is down is because they would keep on producing the same stories again and again eventhough actors and actresses have been changed. They would keep on producing Ghost movies, Drift movies, and Mat Rempit movies.......It is a very stereotype of them to portray Malaysian society in that way............ ...

This GSc are losers. Just because you own the cinema u can dictate what U want to show, just like the political scene. Show me what i want to see and not show me what u see. I will tell U what u should see and not what you want to see. Pasar malam is the answer friends, Yes U are right. ..

I've wanted to watch in GSC, but only 2 shows daily (2pm & 5pm). Due to the showing time, which clashes with my working hours & weekends always full.
Since I don't subscribe Astro, I have only 1 option.... pasar malam. so much of FREEDOM & Rakyat didahulukan. sigh...
