Chapter 934: The Birth of History
This is a farce that makes people laugh and cry.
At noon on December 2nd.
When Lu Yuan posted a message on Weibo, "Clarifying the rumor that "Lu Yuan's Fairy Tales Collection" still has 50 autographs", he suppressed this fan of uncles and aunts who made the whole of China dumbfounded.
Seeing that the officials said that there was no profit to be made, this group of uncles and aunts finally stopped.
On the afternoon of December 2nd, after the organizers finished dealing with the farce, "Lu Yuan's Fairy Tales" finally started the official sales plan for the second day.
Ok……
It is said that the plan is actually completely useless.
"The Collection of Lu Yuan's Fairy Tales" is due to the hype of the grandparents and the existence of Lu Yuan's appeal. In the end, in just half a day, the 150,000 copies of the collection of fairy tales were sold out...
In two days, um, no, it should be said that in less than two and a half days, "Lu Yuan's Fairy Tales" sold 250,000 copies, breaking the sales record of similar children's literature in China in an instant. occupy the first place on the list.
A record-breaking should have caused a stir.
However, breaking the record this time did not cause much of a stir, and even caused a little splash on the Internet.
Well, after netizens saw the sales data and the comparison of the same period, they just gave Lu Yuan a thumbs up with a record-breaking expression, and then...
There is no more.
Everyone felt that there were no waves, and at the same time, there was a sense of dullness after intense stimulation.
It seems that the record-breaking news of Lu Yuan's work is far less shocking than Lu Yuan's sudden announcement of entering the world of fairy tales...
Ok.
Broken record? So be it.
In fact, compared to the influence of Lu Yuan's "Fairy Tales", everyone is staring at the announcement of the box office data of "Star Wars" for one month and two days!
For them, this is the issue they should be most concerned about, a more meaningful issue.
Why?
No why!
This is a historic moment.
In the early morning of October 3rd...
everyone!
They are all witnessing history!
………………………………………
Nothing in this world remains constant.
"Anthropocene" has officially started filming.
Lorraine originally thought that he could really think about nothing, and continued to film "The Epoch of Man" seriously, waiting to set another record.
but……
On October 3rd, he still couldn't hold back his beating heart that had no place to rest, and stayed up nervously waiting for the total box office data of "Star Wars" to be refreshed.
He knew that it was only a matter of time before "Star Wars" surpassed "Titans", but he still looked forward to this day coming later.
"ding dong"
One o'clock in the morning.
He silently turned on the computer and checked the box office information sent by his assistant in the mailbox.
When he saw that "Star Wars" has added 10 million U.S. dollars in global box office, and the total box office has reached 1.05 billion U.S. dollars, his heart shrank uncontrollably as if it had been hit by something. .
The day has finally arrived.
"Titan Behemoth" lasted forty-six days from the release to the next drawing, and the final box office was one billion and four million US dollars...
It has only been 32 days since "Star Wars" was released, and the box office in the 32 days is 1.05 billion US dollars, directly surpassing "Titan Behemoth" by 1 million US dollars, and according to the various aspects of "Star Wars" Judging from the popularity and the film schedule of major theaters, this "Star Wars" will probably be broadcast for another half a month or so!
After half a month, this "Star Wars" might really reach the astonishing figure of 1.1 billion US dollars at the box office!
1.1 billion...
Oh, God!
This……
no doubt……
"Star Wars" is already an unavoidable movie in the sci-fi movies of the whole world!
And Thomson!
This director, who was only on the fringe of first-class in Hollywood before, has already become a god at this moment!
The night was very still.
Lorraine closed his eyes silently. He didn't even know what kind of emotion he was in. He only knew that he would have insomnia tonight, and then, other than that, his whole body was empty...
Prepare for this day tomorrow.
but……
Still so caught off guard.
……………………………
The historical record of science fiction films has officially been refreshed.
December 3rd.
At this moment, it is officially fixed!
"Fuck, congratulations Er Gouzi!"
"Oh my god, my god, congratulations to Lu Yuan for setting a new record!"
"Lu Yuan is amazing, and now he can be called the world's first science fiction screenwriter?"
"Is there no sci-fi screenwriter better than him in the world?"
"yes!"
"Is tomorrow's Oscars going to start in three months? This...does it mean that the Oscar's Best Screenplay Award has been locked in advance?"
"..."
"..."
With the birth of history, the entire international film world is naturally in turmoil.
"Star Wars" was born, and World War I shook the world.
Countless congratulatory voices rushed to Lu Yuan's house, who was raising a baby, from all directions. Lu Yuan almost cramped when he answered the phone.
However, Lu Yuan was not very happy, but instead had a trace of indescribable anxiety.
yes!
anxiety.
But from the few days in early November to now, Lu Yuan has not heard any news from Thomson.
Forres said Thomson shut himself in the house all day, seeing no one except for three meals a day.
The top psychiatrists in the world have been there several times, and they all shook their heads when they came out, feeling that Thomson was in an abnormal mood.
It is said to be depressed, but it is not depressed, it is said to be hyperactive, but it is not...
There is no way to prescribe medicine for this strange state.
With the great success of "Star Wars", Thomson should have been the biggest winner in life!
but……
At this moment, it seems that Thomson, one of the directors and creators of "Star Wars", is a little bit autistic.
Something seemed to touch Thomson's deepest pride, and then...
That's it.
Lu Yuan had no choice.
In Huaxia, he didn't know what to do.
We can only wait for Thomson to come out, or wait until the children are a little older, and he will go back to Hollywood to see.
………………………………………
November is the toughest month in history for Hollywood sci-fi releases.
Star Wars crushes them all.
After surpassing "Titan Behemoth", it still hits the box office of 1.1 billion with an exciting momentum. Although the box office decreases every day, it is still stable.
And other movies...
Only in the great heat and brilliance of "Star Wars" did the curtain that should not belong to them fall.
They should have made a higher box office.
Fox's "Star Voyage" is drawn.
The total box office barely reached 300 million and I could only make a small fortune. Finally, on the evening of December 3rd, the drawing was canceled and replaced with a new movie "The Last Days of Peterson", um, a It is also a comedy produced by Fox.
Bill, the person in charge of Fox, publicized that "The Last Days of Peterson" is a milestone for a comedy film. Although the total investment is less than 20 million US dollars, the company predicts that it will break 200 million US dollars and become a good Hollywood comedy. Ten movies, um, let alone, this almost bragging method attracted a large number of journalists, the premiere ceremony was very lively, and the results of the premiere were also quite astonishing, breaking the box office of 10 million US dollars on the first day , At the same time, the word-of-mouth is also expected to be good in all aspects, and the major media have blown up the movie.
Fox Corporation has fought a turnaround.
On the early morning of December 4th, the film "Prehistoric Creatures" was officially announced to be drawn. Although it struggled for a day longer than "Interstellar Voyage", "Prehistoric Creatures" could only keep its capital and didn't make much money...
Well, after all, the investment was nearly 30 million more than that of "Star Voyage". Seeing the box office reduced to less than one million dollars worldwide and the empty movie theaters, everyone felt a sense of sadness.
Among the movies released in November, if the only one that can claim to make a lot of money can only be Paramount's "Venus Aliens".
Smith, the boss of Paramount, should have brought everyone to a celebration banquet and said a series of blessings.
but……
Actually no.
Smith is very dissatisfied with the data of "Venus Aliens". He even thought about breaking the record of "Titan Behemoth" when the movie was released. After all, "Venus Aliens" has this potential in all aspects of performance, but It's a pity that it met the "Star Wars" that killed thousands of swords by chance!
"Star Wars" robbed the popularity, film schedule, and box office that should belong to it...
Then……
It ended up stunted.
In the end, he got a result that made Smith very dissatisfied.
Smith was not reconciled.
In the end, he clenched his fist and made a phone call with Lister, the director of "Venus Alien".
"Next year, the company will give you all the resources!"
"what?"
"Confidence beyond Star Wars?"
"..."
"No confidence?"
"Yes! I have a script about time travel, which is pretty good."
"Okay, then shoot!"
…………………………………
December 15th!
"Star Wars" has officially hit a very astonishing $1.1 billion worldwide and is officially off the shelves!
It became the second box office movie in the history of Hollywood movies, and the well-deserved number one in the history of science fiction movies!
As for the "Remote" company, although its scale is very average, "Remote" directly accounts for two of the four Hollywood movies!
What does this mean?
It means that a legend is born!
"Star Wars" directly tore up the superiority of many Hollywood directors.
but……
"No matter what, "Star Wars" is not a Chinese movie but a Hollywood movie!"
"Yes, it is a Hollywood movie from the beginning to the end! It is only in this Hollywood soil that it has such a miracle, isn't it?"
"..."
After being torn apart from their sense of superiority, an idea that they could accept suddenly appeared in everyone's mind.
The sense of superiority continues again in a brand new way.
…………………………………
"Beep beep!"
"Hey?"
"boss!"
"Thomson? God, Thomson, are you okay? You've been doing it for so long, are you okay?"
"Boss, I have finished writing the script of a sci-fi movie, I want an investment, I want to make a new movie!"
"It's not a big problem, by the way, what's the name of your new movie?"
""dawn"."
"Okay, how much to invest?"
"One hundred million dollars!"
"No problem, when you want it, when will you apply for it."
"Boss, don't you read the script? Aren't you afraid that I'll cheat you out of 100 million dollars?"
"Don't be afraid, because the biggest contributor to "Star Wars" is you. I know that you are a director and screenwriter who is as good as anyone in Hollywood. Now, you are just proving yourself to the world." Lu Yuan said this When saying a word, I was in a trance for a moment.
as if……
It's like talking to yourself.
"boss!"
"Ok."
"I don't know if "Dawn" can surpass "Star Wars", and I don't know if there will be any box office miracle, but please believe that I can prove myself!"
"it is good!"
(Well... the next plot will be difficult to write, it will be a brand new beginning, so I will change to a new sub-volume, let's call it "Brilliant" or "End Volume", it is estimated to be more than 170 chapters The plot, the content inside will not be previewed, there is only one update today, and the outline and ideas for the next volume)
