Chapter 285 Maybe, This Movie Will Explode

After Xu Qifeng saw the box office on the first day, his expression of anticipation gradually turned into disappointment.

He is very lost.

"Madden Alien" did not explode as he imagined, not only did it not explode, but it looked sluggish.

On the first day, the box office was only 200,000 US dollars, and if the 200,000 were converted into RMB, it would be about 1.5 million RMB.

It's really cheating to get this result in the premiere, and it's still under the support of so many resources...

This……

This is really hard to accept.

Do I have to be the same as other Chinese movies?

"Huaxia movies are not acclimatized in Hollywood. The Huaxia movies released in the past few years are all the same. Don't be discouraged. You are already very good, and now it's only the first day. The first day doesn't mean anything. Yes." Chen Fangyuan, head of Tianyu's overseas film and television department, comforted director Xu Qifeng after talking about the box office.

"Well, yes, the box office of our "Mad Alien" in China on the first day was also very average, and it gradually gained word of mouth later on. I believe it is the same abroad." Xu Qifeng nodded.

"Yes, you're right to think so. The opening doesn't mean anything. After all, word of mouth hasn't improved yet. Tomorrow will be different. I believe there will be a qualitative change tomorrow. Don't worry, the box office will definitely improve tomorrow." Yes, after all, the box office of this movie wasn't very good when it premiered in China, so didn't it also explode later? It will overtake "Future You"."

"Well, thank you, Mr. Chen!"

"No, come on, don't think too much."

Chen Fangyuan's words gave Xu Qifeng a little more confidence. He hung up the phone and looked at the night outside in silence.

The night was dim and there was no moon.

The weather forecast says that tomorrow will be cloudy and rainy.

yes.

It's all just the beginning!

There will definitely be a qualitative change tomorrow.

But for some reason, Xu Qifeng suddenly became nervous again.

Tomorrow is a very important day,

It's basically time to decide whether this movie lives or dies overseas!

In other words, if the next day's box office can't get better or maintain the status quo, then the foreign performance of "Mad Alien" will really hit the street like other Chinese movies.

So, what will happen tomorrow?

Will it create miracles like in China?

Should be!

should!

After all, I am different from other directors, after all, I am more talented than ordinary directors!

"Boss... Our box office is not bad, we sold 100,000 US dollars at the box office, and the word-of-mouth on the Internet is really good, well, there are even a few well-known film critics who help us write film reviews. They appreciate our film very much, Great reviews! By the way, BOSS, there is a movie review dedicated to you, the title is "The Pianist's Screenwriting Career", do you want to send it to you?"

"Well, send it over and have a look."

"it is good!"

Some people are nervous and others are relaxed.

Some people are unhappy and others are happy.

For example, Lu Yuan was very happy.

Lu Yuan, who was sitting in the office in front of the computer, was naturally the happy one.

The overseas box office of the movie "The Man From Earth" did not disappoint him. On the first day, it grossed 100,000 yuan, equivalent to about 700,000 yuan.

After deducting the messy taxes and theater chain share, Lu Yuan got about 200,000 yuan.

200,000 and 30,000 to Forres, and I have 170,000 left...

Is it more than 170,000?

Not too much!

But less?

nonsense! Of course it's a lot, earning 170,000 yuan a day, this is pretty good, isn't it!

And this is a windfall!

Can Lu Yuan still be unhappy?

Lu Yuan is not Xu Qifeng.

Speaking psychologically, he doesn't have much ambition for foreign box office, as long as he can make money and not lose money.

This movie is a complete test of the waters.

Chinese movies are not good in Hollywood, but this movie gave Lu Yuan a very good signal.

Forrest on the other end of the phone was very excited!

There were so many box offices on the first day that he saw hope. He felt that his vision was correct. Although he could only get 30,000 RMB on average, these were real money!

At least it is profitable!

It's way better than his previous two films.

And he found that it was great that he was no longer the boss. He no longer had to worry about the box office every day, and he no longer had to worry about the company going bankrupt. After hanging up the phone, he boarded the mailbox and sent the film review to Lu Yuan, and then he smiled and prepared to welcome the morning of a new day.

call!

Tomorrow's box office will be even better!

After all, with such good reviews on the Internet, the box office must be good, and more importantly, the theaters have also seen the potential of the box office, and they arranged two shows a day to three.

These are all hopes.

Lu Yuan, who was staying in the office, hung up the phone, feeling an indescribable sense of happiness all over his body.

He clicked on the mailbox.

When he saw the evaluation of himself under that film review, even Lu Yuan, who had always been thick-skinned, felt embarrassed.

The English version of this article is full of talented, genius, amazing man, this man is the existence favored by God, the future of this man is limitless...

Except for praising the movie, the whole article is full of embarrassing blows to myself, as if a fan is describing his idol.

"Ahem, modesty, modesty...you can't read this kind of article too much. I am a humble and low-key person. If you read too much of this stuff, you will lose yourself easily. You can't read too much." After blushing for a while, Lu Yuan finally shook his head and nodded casually. I clicked to delete, but after a few seconds after clicking delete, I took it out of the recycle bin and restored it.

"No, let's keep it. After all, this is my first overseas film review, isn't it?"

"All firsts are precious and need to be seen every day!"

Lu Yuan felt that what he said made a lot of sense.

No matter the first time of anything is important!

This thing should not only be kept but also backed up, so that I can take it out and remember it when I get older.

This is also an experience in life.

Um!

This is also very good.

In fact, I am not the kind of person who enjoys flattery, I have always been very humble.

Of course, after convincing myself, I gave myself some self-hypnosis that fit my personality.

life...

That's the way it has to be, isn't it?

Just when Lu Yuan yawned and was about to go back to sleep, his cell phone rang.

It was Wang Jinxue's call.

"Overseas box office is not bad!"

"Well, it's okay."

"What are you doing?"

"I...I'm writing "The Legend of Wukong" seriously."

Lu Yuan said this subconsciously.

He admired himself very much, and he found that now he lied without going through his brain.

Naturally, he couldn't say that he was reading an email boasting about himself.

after all……

He is ashamed.

"Isn't it finished yet?"

"Just finished writing."

"Oh, I know the publishing editor of Huaxia Publishing House. She called me a few days ago and is quite interested in your novel. She hopes to meet you. Is it convenient for you?"

"when?"

"Are you free tomorrow during the day?"

"I don't have time during the day. I want to shoot "Groundhog" during the day. The crew of "Groundhog" is very busy recently. I can't get away. How about tomorrow at 8 o'clock?"

"At night..." There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone, "She can't do it at night, only during the day."

"Ah? This... I really can't spare during the day... Then when will she be free at night? The day after tomorrow?"

"She's not free at night, how about noon tomorrow? You go to bed early at night, don't stay up late... Can you lie down for half an hour for a nap at noon?"

"Uh, that's fine, let's make it noon tomorrow..."

Lu Yuan nodded, thinking that the Huaxia editor's cards are quite big, only that he is free during the day and not at night.

It seems that this editor is not easy to deal with.

Of course, he didn't think much about it, no matter how difficult it is to deal with it, it's fine if the soldiers come to cover the water and cover it, right?

Just as he was about to go to bed, the phone rang again.

This time the call was from Da Liu.

"Boss Lu..."

"What's wrong?"

"This month, our company's report has been sent to your mailbox. Well, this month, the traffic of "Magic World" is getting less and less, and the number of users who recharge is also decreasing...and yesterday there was an extra recharge bug. , so many recharge users didn't buy it all at once. After fixing the bug of swiping money, a series of loopholes appeared in the follow-up program... Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, I didn't get this game right... I... I'm sorry... "Du Liu's voice on the other end of the phone sounded very deep, and Lu Yuan clearly felt that he had a sense of self-blame.

"It's normal to have BUG in the game, and it will be fine once it's fixed."

"Mr. Lu, when I checked the programming of this "Magic World" with a few friends from the technical department in the past two days, I found that many programs in this game were not perfect. After the game has been running for a long time, there will be more and more bugs in the game. These are also due to our lack of technology before. When we first made this game, we did not handle the technical aspects and many details well... Mr. Lu, I think Can you fix the game again?"

"how long?"

"About half a month."

"Have you not had any income for about half a month?"

"Yes, Mr. Lu, after all, our company only has one game now, which is very single, so if we give up this game, there will be no income..." The voice on the other end of the phone began to become a little timid, and he was afraid that Lu Yuan would lose his temper.

"What if it keeps running?"

"If it keeps running, the number of players will decrease... This BUG incident has caused our game's reputation to plummet."

"Big Liu……"

"Yes, Mr. Lu."

"Let's put "Magic World" aside for now. I have an idea. With the strength of our current company, I am afraid that we don't have the strength to make large-scale games for the time being. Why don't we start with a small game platform..."

"Small game platform?"

"How long will it take you to compile a game that is several megabytes in size, such as Fight the Landlord?"

"This... these games are very simple, if we come together as a team, we can finish them in half a day..."

"Well, that's good. Listen, let's build a software platform. The platform mainly focuses on casual games, such as Dou Di Zhu, Mahjong, billiards, and those small brainwashing games for upgrading. These small brainwashing games For example, "Happy Farm Stealing Vegetables", such as "Plants vs. Zombies", such as..."

"Mr. Lu, can you tell me in detail? No... Mr. Lu, can I come over tomorrow?" After hearing these things, Da Liu's eyes lit up instantly!

"Tomorrow? I have an appointment during the day tomorrow."

"Then tomorrow night?"

"Can!"

"it is good!"

……………………………

"Director, the box office data is out."

"How many?"

"I sent you an email."

"okay."

In the early morning of the 19th.

Thomson hung up the phone and opened the mailbox. When he saw the box office data for the next day, he smiled slightly.

"Future You" has a box office of 400,000, while "Alien" has a box office of only $100,000.

Comparing the two data is really quite different.

It seems that this Chinese dark horse movie has finally hit the street in overseas markets.

After all, like other Chinese movies, there are unacceptable situations.

He smiled.

Just as he was about to close the mailbox, he suddenly saw the box office of "The Man From Earth"...

The box office of this movie is 150,000...

He narrowed his eyes, and then checked the box office of the first day of the movie...

When he saw that the second day increased by 50,000 compared with the first day, he instantly had a bad feeling.

You must know that this movie has basically no publicity in overseas markets, and there are very few resources...

Under such circumstances, the box office can still rise, which...

Unscientific!

He logged on to the Internet, and after seeing a few hot movie reviews on the Internet, his bad premonition deepened.

Maybe this movie...

This movie could blow up!

Nima!

Are you kidding me?

Huaxia exploded in a mess, and now they have to explode when they go to the United States?

This……

Is this still a Huaxia movie?
