Chapter 284 What a Fool!

Alice likes piano.

I also majored in piano music in college.

She didn't know Lu Yuan at all, and she didn't even know who Lu Yuan was. After all, no matter how powerful you are as a Chinese star in China, it's nothing to go to the United States...

However, at a certain concert, she heard a piano piece with a very nice melody.

The piano piece was played by her brother Jack, very relaxed and elegant.

Then she saw the title of the song.

The song is called "For Alice".

After seeing the name of this song, Alice felt a strange feeling in her mood instantly.

At first she thought that the song was composed by Jack and composed for her. In an instant, she admired her brother Jack very much, but later Jack said that the song came from a Chinese.

The Chinese name is Lu Yuan.

Chinese people?

Why are you Chinese?

This makes Alice very strange.

wrong!

She didn't mean to discriminate against Chinese people. Chinese people also have very powerful composers, but Alice has heard of the famous composer, but she has never heard of Lu Yuan.

Who is this Lu Yuan?

She expressed it was strange.

From then on, she began to search for Lu Yuan in the search browser, but at that time, Lu Yuan was not well-known in the United States, and even the search browser in the United States could not find any detailed information about Lu Yuan...

Alice was a little disappointed at first, but at the Venice Awards Ceremony, she heard Lu Yuan's name again on the video.

But from Edward's mouth.

Of course, he also saw Lu Yuan afterwards, and Lu Yuan seemed to have caused some disturbances.

Then at Edward's concert, she saw Lu Yuan again!

And it's real!

Generally speaking, there is a difference between real people and videos.

But Lu Yuan is very different.

She found that man very strange.

Yes, she is different from any other pianist. Any other pianist will be very confident and triumphant when he comes on stage, but when he comes on stage, he just has a faint smile on his face and a sense of reluctance that makes people feel sympathetic. .

Yes, no matter how others looked at it, she felt that the man was very reluctant when he came on stage, as if he had no choice but to come on stage.

And that man is not handsome, at least not as handsome as Edward, and he is not taller than Edward, but this man's eyes have a strange sense of depth and story.

On that day, she witnessed the birth of another piano piece "Lullaby".

That day, she found that she had been completely conquered by Lu Yuan, a Chinese.

After that day, she realized that the talent of this Chinese man is almost crazy. He is not only a piano arranger, but also a singer, director, poet, screenwriter...

Later, she found that she could only marvel and became Lu Yuan's fan.

In fact, when she knew that Lu Yuan's "The Man From Earth" was released in China, she planned to go to China to support Lu Yuan in person, but now the company's interview tasks are very busy, and she can't spare time at all.

After all, she is a reporter, and an entertainment reporter at that.

Even though she didn't know that Lu Yuan didn't care about these things, and she couldn't even know who she was, she felt a sense of guilt towards Lu Yuan in her heart.

But now it seems that God has made up for this guilt for her, allowing "The Man From Earth" to be released in the United States.

After accompanying Brother Jack to watch the "Mad Alien" and complete the film review task assigned by the company, she couldn't wait to watch the "The Man From Earth".

In China, this movie is said to have no special effects, the lowest investment in history, and a movie that exploded at the box office.

She and Jack came to Screening Room 3.

There is an advertisement for this movie in the No. 3 screening hall. Although the advertisement is very delicate, it has no publicity effect.

Nonsense, this treatment is completely incomparable with "Mad Alien", which is also a Chinese movie.

The advertisement of "Mad Alien" was placed directly in the conspicuous place where the main entrance entered, while the advertisement of "The Man From Earth" was placed at the entrance of the screening hall, in a corner where not many people would pay attention. The location is very different. At the same time, "Mad Alien" has been promoted in major American film newspapers, but "The Man From Earth" was also featured in the American Film News' trailer, but it is also "Chinese film "The Man". Something as simple as "From Earth" Logging In to the United States".

others?

Everything else is gone!

Propaganda effect?

This has no publicity effect at all!

And the treatment is so different!

Of course, Alice knew the reason. It wasn't that the media didn't want to publicize it, but that Huaxin Brothers was too shameless...

It would be great if a company that tried to bring back to life by relying on Huaxia movies didn't become a big joke in the industry. What do you think it has?

What are you kidding?

"Er Gouzi! Come on!"

Just as she walked into the screening room, she silently clenched her fists and said this sentence in her unproficient Chinese very kindly.

Of course, she didn't know what Er Gouzi meant, she only knew that the name Er Gouzi was very affectionate, and fans called her by that.

Of course, if she has the opportunity to interview Lu Yuan in the future, she will also call him Ergouzi!

She felt it represented a nickname for fans.

After walking into the movie theater, she saw a few acquaintances, and these acquaintances seemed to be people who appeared at the concert...

Alice knows.

They all came for Lu Yuan, and they were all Lu Yuan's fans.

Although there are not many fans, this also proves that Lu Yuan also knows some people internationally.

Alice is very happy!

At least seeing someone identify with her favorite idol makes her feel excited.

There is a sense of kindred spirit.

She found her seat and sat down.

As soon as I sat down, the movie started...

……………………………

"I thought it was a bad traditional Chinese film, but now I realize that I was wrong... This is not a bad film, not only is it not, it is even very likely to be a cross-generational film."

"Yeah, I think so too!"

"The screenwriter is really a genius, can this work?"

"This movie is really good, but unfortunately I haven't heard of it before. If I hadn't been so bored, I wouldn't have come to watch this movie at all...I didn't expect to find a treasure after watching it this way. "

"yes!"

The more than one hour movie is over quickly.

Alice and Jack walked out of the screening room.

Jack didn't have any interest in the so-called Chinese sci-fi movies. He thought Chinese sci-fi movies were rubbish. He even felt that he would fall asleep when watching the movie. It's so embarrassing.

Moreover, the introduction of the movie said that it was an awkward movie, which made him even more speechless.

But it actually shocked him when he actually watched it seriously.

Not only did he not feel drowsy as he imagined, but he was looking better than anyone else the whole time.

He felt that this was a kind of subversion, and he couldn't describe Lu Yuan's genius as a screenwriter in words!

He can even tell anyone very responsibly that this movie is definitely a must-see movie.

Alice was also quite pleasantly surprised!

Er Gouzi is still so talented and powerful!

She felt even happier when she heard the word-of-mouth voices around her and even when someone searched for the screenwriter.

More and more people agree with Er Gouzi, which makes her feel more fulfilled.

"Brother Jack...I want to write a review for this movie."

"Me too……"

"Then let's compare?"

"it is good!"

……………………………

Four o'clock in the morning on April 18.

It was still a very peaceful day.

Many people are sleeping in a dream...

But Thomson has been waiting for box office results.

He didn't want to be surpassed by that "Madden Alien" movie. If he was surpassed, he felt that it would be a shame.

He had nothing to say when he was suddenly surpassed in Huaxia. After all, "Mad Alien" did have unique advantages in China, and he didn't focus on promoting it in China, but the battlefield is not China after all, and the battlefield has become a good one American Hollywood.

This is completely his own battlefield. Although his American League is not as good as that of Cobia, the agent of "Madden Alien", and even though his box office has been declining, he feels that these are not reasons.

He can't lose!

It's a pride!

After waiting anxiously for several hours, his phone finally rang.

"Hey!"

"Director, the box office is out! You will never expect the results of that Huaxia movie!"

"How many?"

"Premiere $200,000!"

"Two hundred thousand?"

"What about our box office?"

"We are 600,000!"

"We are three times as many as him, haha!" Thomson let out a long sigh of relief after hearing this statistic.

His mood suddenly became better than ever.

He was quite afraid of this "Mad Alien" at first, and even organized a period of activities in order not to be overtaken by him.

But now...

He found that there was nothing to worry about.

Even if I don't engage in any activities, even if the box office of my movie drops another 300,000, it will be 100,000 more than this "Mad Alien"! .

call!

He shook his head, feeling a little nervous.

How could I be afraid of a Chinese movie?

really...

Huaxia movies are still so unpopular when they come out of Huaxia...

What am I worried about?

When the box office results came in, Thomson stretched and walked toward the room.

He needs to get a good night's sleep.

The other end of the phone obviously didn't tell him another Huaxia movie with a box office of 100,000 US dollars.

That end doesn't seem to have any interest in the $100,000 movie either.

However, no one knows that this seemingly low-grossing movie has actually begun to gradually build up its own reputation...

………………………

"How many?"

"The grades are not ideal... only three hundred thousand."

"What, after spending so much resources, only 300,000 box office?"

"Yes!"

"You ask Manager John, who is in charge of this movie, to come here, who swears that this movie will be popular!"

"This……"

"Tell the finance department that half of this year's bonus will be deducted from him!"

"Yes."

"By the way, what about the other Huaxia movie?"

"Huh? That "The Man From Earth"?"

"Hmm! How much?"

"Very few, less than 100,000 at the box office!"

"What, there is a box office of 100,000?"

"Ah? He is completely inferior to us!"

"Stupid, don't you know by now? That movie doesn't have any publicity resources! What do you think will happen if our resources are given to "The Man From Earth"!"

"what!"

"God, John is such a pig! If only he had gone to The Man From Earth!"
