Chapter 433: A Theme Song

Chapter 435 A Theme Song

Competition at the box office in October was pretty tough.

Hollywood movies may have been a storm in September, but after they were released in October, Hollywood movies turned into a tornado, directly destroying the confidence of several Chinese movies that invested tens of millions...

Three days before its release, Andorra's "Deep Sea Shark" directly earned nearly 100 million yuan in the box office, while Jackson Jr.'s "Tough Guys 2" was not as crazy as "Deep Sea Shark", but it also took nearly seven With a box office of 15 million, the midnight horror film "October No. 33" also exploded in the box office in China. Although it only won 13 million at the box office, it was a very unpopular horror film, and The investment is only about two million dollars.

This has set a new box office record for horror films in the past two years.

Hollywood movies are always crazy in China.

No matter how many people say that they can't support Hollywood, they want to support domestic films, but every time they are released, the venues will be full, and there will inevitably be countless likes.

This is absolutely impossible.

Why?

After all, their special effects, their details, and many other situations are better than Huaxia movies. What can you do?

In this case, the situation of Huaxia Films is very embarrassing.

The Huaxia movies that were released at the same time, after the premiere, their word-of-mouth and box office hit the street one after another. Three days after the release, the number of movies in two movies was exactly the same as that of "October No. 33"...

What can you do?

Perhaps, the only Chinese movie that can compete with Hollywood movies in October is "Battle Blood 2".

"Battle Blood 2" did not disappoint everyone. The word-of-mouth of this movie is very good on Tomato.com, with a score of 8.8. At the same time, the total box office in three days is quite brilliant, reaching 80 million!

Eighty million?

Yes, eighty million!

It even surpassed "Tough Guy Family 2" by five million.

This is already a pretty remarkable achievement.

After seeing this result,

All Huaxia movie fans are almost excited!

"Battle Blood 2" turned into a fighter, competing against Hollywood movies in the name of Huaxia Movies. Although there was no hope of winning the box office in October, it was basically the most brilliant stroke in Li Mingrui's directorial career.

All major headlines rushed to report the news of "Battle Blood 2", and some media actually praised "Battle Blood 2" as the cornerstone of China's film counterattack, and Li Mingrui was even regarded as a hero.

Li Mingrui was naturally very happy. After surpassing "Tough Guy Family 2", Li Mingrui got drunk that night and was overjoyed!

"Battle Blood 2" is on fire!

Yes!

Much hotter than "Battle Blood"!

…………………………………

In the relevant department's office.

Liu Zhenghao watched "Ghost Story" silently.

In fact, he thought the movie was quite interesting.

It's not a movie full of screaming scenes like "October 33rd", and it doesn't have a lot of gore.

There seems to be a sense of self-suggestion, and a strange mystery, hanging over it from start to finish.

Yes!

This is different from ordinary horror movies, basically full of suspense elements, which makes people feel very flustered.

After watching this movie, inexplicably, even Liu Zhenghao, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, felt a chill.

"Old Li, what do you think?"

"A Hollywood horror movie?"

"Well, it's a low-budget horror movie. Xiao Lu's company wants to act as an agent to show it in China..."

"The tone of this movie is okay. There are no bloody murders or pornographic elements in it. I don't think it's a big problem if it is released in China's midnight file. It's just that there are some hints of ghosts and gods in this movie... It's a bit It doesn't meet the current Chinese standards..."

"Well, yes, Xiao Lu also understands this, so he asked Hollywood to prepare a second ending."

"Is there a second ending? I'll go and see..."

"Well, let's go and see the second ending."

"it is good."

The two old men opened the second ending.

The second ending is the same, except that the heroine is missing in the subtitles that appear later.

As for where the disappearance went, there was no news about it, and it was not filmed. It was just a line to explain that the heroine was missing.

After watching the ending, the two old people looked at each other and nodded.

Compared with the previous slightly bloody ending, at least this ending is more in line with China's tone, and it also does not affect the tension that the whole movie wants to present. After watching it, it still makes people feel chilly.

I have to say that Lu Yuan really has a good eye, and he was able to choose such a movie as an agent.

"What do you think?"

"Although there are ghost stories in this movie, there are not many discordant problems in it. Otherwise, it should be given the green light. Compared with the Hollywood movie "October No. 33", this "Ghost Story" In fact, it’s already much better, and this year, Xiao Lu has also contributed several films to our Huaxia Films, which has made our Huaxia look good, I don’t think his enthusiasm should be discouraged.”

"Well, I think so too. After all, it's his first Hollywood film, so it's okay to relax appropriately."

"right."

The two old men who were nearly seventy years old looked at each other, and each felt a trace of approval from each other's eyes.

Then the two nodded at the same time and gave this "Ghost Story" a chapter of approval and permission to screen...

"call!"

"By the way, how is the box office performance of "Battle Blood 2"?"

"It's pretty good. If there are no accidents, the second box office in October is not a big problem."

"Well, that's good. I'm getting old, and I finally see a glimmer of light in Chinese movies. By the way, "Assembly Number" is almost ready, right?"

"It's still a month or two."

"A month or two..."

Liu Zhenghao nodded thoughtfully, then looked into the distance.

He let out a slight breath.

A smile appeared.

The editor of "Assembly Number" is Xiao Lu, right?

good!

This young man is really good!

……………………………

October 5th.

October's box office battle is still in full swing.

Lu Yuan felt very happy.

"Ghost Story" was handed over to the relevant departments yesterday, and the results will be released this morning.

As a result, it was screened, and at the same time, I heard the staff of the relevant department secretly tell Lu Yuan that the two leaders of the department had a very good impression of him.

Lu Yuan was very happy.

Although the box office of horror films has not been very good in China, they are basically guaranteed to make a small profit, which is very good, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat, right?

Moreover, the total investment of this "Ghost Story" is less than 100,000 US dollars, even if Huaxia loses again, how much can it lose?

As long as you sell more tickets, you will make money.

Similarly, what makes Lu Yuan even happier is that the second half of "A Chinese Journey to the West" has officially started today.

In fact, it's not a formal launch. The whole plot of "A Chinese Journey to the West" is actually integrated, but in Lu Yuan's heart, he is very pleased. After all, many things are different after finishing the first part.

Although it is the same movie, many things are slightly different.

An Xiao is the protagonist in the first half of "A Chinese Journey to the West", but An Xiao is not the protagonist in the second half.

She's just a supporting character and only a few scenes.

It is impossible for An Xiao to wait until "A Chinese Journey to the West" gets her shot and then come back. After all, she doesn't know if she is free at that time, so she chooses to shoot the shot in advance and insert it after the whole movie is over. Just go in.

It was not difficult for the entire crew and An Xiao to take a few scenes, and they were all filmed in two days.

evening……

There is no sunset on the horizon in the distance, and there is no sunset glow either.

An Xiao looked at the sky, then knocked on Lu Yuan's office.

"Lu Yuan..."

"What's wrong?"

"I gotta go."

"Uh... when are you leaving?"

"Plane at eight o'clock tonight."

"Leave tonight? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"No way, the company will have an event tomorrow morning. It's very busy in October."

"Oh, since that's the case, I won't keep you anymore. Where's your luggage?" Lu Yuan looked next to An Xiao subconsciously.

"The manager and the bodyguard helped me get into the car. I'm not like you. I don't even have a bodyguard by my side. I carry my luggage by myself..." When he said this, An Xiao suddenly showed a smile that seemed to be reminiscing "Lu Yuan, do you still remember the scene when we first met?"

"Remember……"

"I also remember, what happened at that time is as vivid as yesterday, and you even dragged me to your company's front desk for no reason... Haha." An Xiao suddenly smiled brightly.

"Khan... I don't know you. If I knew you, I'd drag someone else." Lu Yuan was a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, if one day I really become your front desk, will you be very surprised?" An Xiao looked at Lu Yuan's embarrassment and was still smiling.

"I'm not surprised...instead, I'll be so scared that I'll have a heart attack." Lu Yuan shook his head, suddenly serious.

"why?"

"You are worth a lot in the entertainment circle now. If you can't hire you now, you won't be able to hire you in the future... Spend tens of millions to hire a front desk... My family really doesn't have a mine..." Lu Yuan looked at An Xiao He shook his head again and again.

"You really don't have any sense of humor." An Xiao felt that Lu Yuan was quite annoying.

"No, An Xiao, my sense of humor actually explodes under other circumstances. "A Chinese Journey to the West" has proved me, but under certain principles, it is impossible for me to be humorous." Lu Yuan laughed.

"What specific principle?"

"It involves contracts, money, copyright and other principles." Lu Yuan was still smiling. "I will take these very seriously."

"Be a little more polite and make a joke?"

"Yeah, what if I'm joking and someone suddenly takes it seriously? You're right... a lot of things come from the mouth."

An Xiao took another deep look at Lu Yuan, then shook his head.

"Lu Yuan, I'm leaving."

"Well, have a nice trip... that's right..."

When An Xiao walked to the door, Lu Yuan suddenly thought of something and stopped An Xiao.

"what?"

"There is a song... I want to collaborate with you..."

"What song is it?"

"The theme song of the movie."

"Have you finished writing?"

"Well, it's finished."

"let me see."

"No, now is not the time...and if you keep talking, your plane will be late."

"May I know the name of this song?"

""life long love"."

"..."

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay... I'm leaving."

"Okay, then I wish you the best of luck now."

"Um."

Lu Yuan did not go to see An Xiao off.

Instead, he silently watched An Xiao leave the room.

Lu Yuan felt that An Xiao was weird. From a psychological point of view, this girl might be a bit into the drama.

Lu Yuan analyzed it and felt that he could not send it.

So much the better.

but……

About ten minutes later, An Xiao knocked on Lu Yuan's door again.

Lu Yuan looked at An Xiao who came back very strangely.

"I want to listen to this song, and I'll leave after listening to it." An Xiao suddenly laughed, "It's easy to kill obsessive-compulsive disorder by talking half a sentence!"

"what?"

Can I ask for a monthly pass?
