Chapter 294 Huaxia Movies Get Beaten

"Director Wei..."

"Little Lu, what's the matter?"

"I probably won't be able to participate in "Assembly Number"."

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I've been a little tired recently, and my condition is not good. At the same time, I think I may not be able to support such a military theme... Lu Yihong is good. I think he is quite suitable for the role of Gu Zidi in all aspects."

"Have you decided?"

"Well, yes, it's decided."

"Okay, I respect your choice, Lu Yihong's acting skills are not bad, and he has accumulated in the past few years, and he is somewhat similar to Gu Zidi. By the way, Xiao Lu, what about your "The Day of the Groundhog Rat"?" When will it be released?"

"Probably, probably in the middle of the month?"

"Probably? How far has it been filmed now?"

"It's over soon."

"Not yet?"

"Well... almost..."

"..."

"That's why I said mid-month..."

After finishing the phone call with Wang Jinxue, Lu Yuan thought twice about calling Wei Changjun again.

He finally chose to reject "Assembly Number" again, and at the same time recommended Lu Yihong to play this role.

In fact, apart from the reason why the movie itself is suitable or not, in short, the movie "Groundhog Day" made Lu Yuan feel very tired.

This tiredness is not physical, but mental.

The fundamental reason why "Groundhog Day" exceeded expectations by so many days is that both Lu Yuan and Fatty Wei attached great importance to this movie, especially in terms of details, they were very serious about the filming.

Slow work and meticulous work, you want the quality of the film itself, and your speed is naturally not fast.

Therefore,

In the past two months, Lu Yuan felt that he was hanging on this movie and generally felt that he had lost his freedom.

He wants to rest.

He wanted to lie in bed until eight o'clock every day, then yawn and eat breakfast, and just deal with life before noon.

Then during lunch, I took the recipes and compared them to each other...

After all, you have to know your shame and be brave, right?

How can you make progress if you don't work hard?

If you don't work hard, how do you know you can't do it?

……………………………

The Chinese movie circle in April is really not a box office war, it can only be regarded as playing in a small pond. Even if "The Man From Earth" is tough, it is actually completely incomparable with these movies in May.

In other words, May is the real battle for the box office.

However, there is a strong sense of sadness hidden in this box office battle.

Hollywood's "King Kong Man 2. The Rise", "Night of the God of War", and "The Dark Legion" dominated the top three at the box office of the day with 40 million, 33 million, and 27 million respectively...

Hollywood movies are naturally strong. No matter which Golden Week box office it is, it is extremely strong. Except for the number one throne, which was taken away by Zhang Chen's "Police Blood" the year before last, the others are basically Hollywood.

"Police Blood" did a good job at the box office, but Director Zhang Chen ambitiously made "Police Blood 2" after the movie was a big hit. When he was about to reach the peak again, he encountered Waterloo and was directly accepted by the Hollywood movie "Copy Blood 2". "Battle of the Century" has been crushed into slag, and at the same time, the box office has doubled.

Not everyone can shoot a series of movies. Without a good framework, it is easy to collapse.

While everyone feels sorry for Director Zhang Chen, they also feel that it is really difficult for Chinese films to beat Hollywood films.

The box office results of the three films before May 1st were naturally exceptionally brilliant.

But the fourth place "Alien Era" sadly only took 10 million box office.

The 10 million box office results on the first day really slapped Shen Lianjie in the face, and even he couldn't believe that his box office would be such a result.

In fact, a box office of 10 million is really not bad. In fact, there is no problem with keeping capital and making a small profit.

However, the box office performance was completely beyond his expectations.

This box office is not to mention comparing you with the Hollywood blockbusters of the same period, and even compared with "The Man From Earth" in April...

This huge gap made Shen Lianjie very uncomfortable.

Also uncomfortable is the screenwriter Sun Peng.

He sold his house and cast it in this movie, all he wanted was to slap Lu Yuan in the face!

But……

Not to mention the fact that the box office performance on the first day of this investment was completely overwhelmed by "The Man From Earth".

This……

What can he say?

It's a suffocating feeling.

Of course, Jet Shen is only uncomfortable because of the huge gap. At least his movie should still make money, but the fourth place Zhang Tong's "Happy All the Way" is cheating!

Zhang Tong pounced.

The premiere box office of "Happy All the Way" was only 4 million...

4 million on the premiere day, and it was the hottest May Day Golden Week when the popularity was the most exuberant...

This result was really hard for Zhang Tong to accept, even after seeing the box office, Zhang Tong didn't want to eat anymore.

What about Zhang Dabao who is in sixth place?

He is a joke!

"The Monster From Earth" is a movie that follows the trend of "The Man From Earth" just by looking at the name.

Followed the trend of this movie with a strong record, but the results not only failed to follow the trend, but were a mess.

"Happy All the Way" is at least a million-level, as for him...

Directly only 500,000 box office...

Yes, you read that right, only half a million, not even a million!

Among the movies released this year, this "Monster from Earth" directly broke the lower limit, and was ordered to draw it just after the first day of its release.

According to the rumors of netizens who have watched this movie, this movie is not only boring but also edited in a mess. After entering the cinema for ten minutes, they can’t stand it and then come out. As for those who watched the movie until the end, they basically fell asleep. .

Basically everyone on the Internet is criticizing this movie, and even criticizing whether Zhang Dabao is out of his mind!

Can you make a movie about cats and dogs casually?

The same small investment, the same advertisements for sci-fi films that claim to have no special effects, and even the themes are similar, but one has become a box office myth, and the other has become a box office joke...

The box office results of No. 1 disappointed all netizens.

Especially those patriotic and somewhat angry movie fans have a feeling of indisputable anger.

Hollywood movies dominate the movie box office in China like three beasts.

Huaxia Movies rose up to resist, and then there was no one who could fight, and even the entire army was wiped out.

Can this feeling not be sad?

In this case, everyone thinks of another movie that released their pigeons and the person who released them.

"Groundhog Day" and Lu Yuan.

People can't help but think that if this movie didn't let them go, and Lu Yuan didn't disappear halfway through, would there be a turning point in the box office war in May?

After all, since Lu Yuan made his debut, no matter which movie he has, his word-of-mouth and box office have been flying. Whether it's "Buried Alive", "The Vagabond" or "The Man From Earth", they have all created their own box office miracles.

So what about "Groundhog Day"?

People can't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

It seems that this movie has become the last hope of the box office war in May.

Although, everyone knows that this movie missed the May Day Golden Week.

but……

Didn't "The Man From Earth" also miss April 1st?

Didn't it take off again in the end? The late comers will overthrow "Future You"?

Now, all movie fans hope that this "Groundhog Day" will be released one day sooner...

However, netizens were disappointed.

They found that neither Tomato.com, theaters, nor even other major media websites had any news about the movie.

Not only was there no news about the movie, even the news about Lu Yuan seemed to have disappeared.

During the seven days from May 1st to May 7th, the headlines of the major film and television pages were all the box office results of these three Hollywood movies. Occasionally, there would be reports about Zhang Tong's "Happy All the Way" and "Alien Era". "The box office has shrunk and other negative news about Chinese movies.

News from Groundhog Day?

Have!

But basically it's like "Shocked, Groundhog Day..." "Lu Yuan is so good, he actually..." "The premiere date of Groundhog Day is revealed!" False advertising message that doesn't match the headline.

This made the netizens angry, but there was nothing they could do.

At this time, they suddenly began to miss the days when Lu Yuan ravaged the headlines and advertised.

Of course, various versions of speculation have followed one after another...

Some people said that Lu Yuan was autistic after being sprayed by trolls, and he was ready to quit the circle and receive psychological treatment.

Some people say that Lu Yuan has gone to Hollywood to make movies.

Some people also said that the filming of "Groundhog Day" encountered many problems and temporarily stopped...

In short, messy speculations one after another...

………………………………………

Of course, Lu Yuan couldn't be sprayed with autism.

Even if the entire entertainment industry is autistic, it is impossible for him to be autistic.

This guy is mentally strong.

"Groundhog Day" was filmed and submitted for review on May 5th, and it is expected that after a wave of editing and rectification, it will be released on May 16th.

Of course, this is also expected, a day or two later or a day or two earlier is normal.

Anyway, Lu Yuan couldn't predict it.

So Lu Yuan felt that there was no need for him to advertise in this turmoil.

Wouldn't it be nonsense if the advertisements were used to release the pigeons of these movie fans again?

It's better to be speculated now than to be scolded, right?

It's good to be a salted fish now, isn't it?

No one disturbs, very quiet...

Just very comfortable.

Lu Yuan felt that he was very Buddhist.

He finally managed to get up at eight o'clock every day, and then fooled around until noon, and then began to study the simple life of dishes.

Although he is very thin, he now has the idea of ​​wanting to be a fat boy.

Eating and sleeping every day, it’s good to eat carefree after sleeping, isn’t it?

As for the company's pile of documents, it will not affect the company's operation for the time being...

I'm not a robot, I need a rest too, don't I?

And when Wang Jinxue comes back, are these tasks a problem?

No problem!

He is a professional, much better than a non-professional like myself, okay?

Lu Yuan successfully found two excuses to be a salted fish, and lived a happy life as a salted fish.

Of course, this happiness only lasted less than a week.

On May 7th, Wang Jinxue officially returned from Hangzhou, bringing two real estate certificates with Lu Yuan's name on it, and at the same time broke Lu Yuan's life as a salty fish.

After returning, Wang Jinxue seemed to be a different person, she resumed the habit of waking Lu Yuan up at seven o'clock every morning...

Although Wang Jinxue accepted all these mountainous jobs, Lu Yuan found that he couldn't be an otaku anymore.

Because Wang Jinxue told Lu Yuan one thing.

That is, the star fitness class is about to start.

Lu Yuan was not interested at first, after all, he thought he was fit, but when Wang Jinxue watched Lu Yuan tell Lu Yuan that the fitness class cost 100,000 yuan, Lu Yuan's eyes widened instantly.

He suddenly felt distressed.

"Is this the class you enrolled me in at the beginning of the year?"

"Yes……"

"One hundred thousand?"

"Yes……"

"Can you retreat?"

"It's been almost half a year, what do you think?"

"I... go to the gym? Is this plausible?"

"I think it's quite plausible, after all, I think your strength is not as strong as a woman's."

"how is this possible!"

"Then you and Wu Tingting shake the wrist?"

"..."

………………………

May 9th.

Hollywood movies are still beating Chinese movies.

Netizens no longer have any hope.

This should have been a normal day.

But……

Lu Yuan, who had been silent for more than ten days, once again hit the headlines...

Netizens' eyes widened, and they immediately thought it was fake news!

After all, the headlines make all the netizens nonsense...

"News from Zhejiang Province: The dumbbell smashed through the glass and fell from the sky, hitting a car that was running normally. Fortunately, there was no serious car accident... But the instigator of this accident turned out to be a popular star... Lu Yuan!"

"Lu Yuan?"

"???"

"Hitting a car with dumbbells?"

"???"

"At this critical time in May, what the hell are you playing with dumbbells?"

"???"
