Chapter 498 The Crack Between Xu Cancan and Wang Jinxue
A lonely night.
This night, Lu Yuan spent all kinds of comfort and encouragement.
There are people from all walks of life.
Of course, in addition to comfort and encouragement, people in other industries more or less say that today’s movies are in a downturn, and Hollywood blockbusters are severely impacted. Although you are very talented, Lu Yuan, it’s the general trend, and you can’t change the general trend. Yours Analysis words such as too little power.
After the analysis, basically everyone came to the conclusion that Lu Yuan had to change his career.
Change career?
Yes!
Or concentrate on singing, writing songs, or concentrate on playing the piano, or simply switch to variety shows, TV series, etc.
In their view, these things are what Lu Yuan really wants to do.
As for making movies?
What kind of movie do you want to make? Is there a future in making movies?
Lu Yuan mechanically responded to these people's kindness, and even the answering voice became numb.
What are you doing?
I'm fucking.
Do you dare to love me that "A Chinese Journey to the West" made nearly 2,000 a day at the box office?
Where am I?
And the premiere is on a Friday, not a weekend.
The weekend is the day when the box office will explode, okay?
………………………………………
"Lu Yuan suffered a tragic defeat in Waterloo, and the box office of "A Chinese Journey to the West" was blown by nearly eleven million by "Dream Traveler"! Eleven million!"
"The investment in "A Chinese Journey to the West" is rumored to be close to 200 million. Excluding various taxes and commissions from theaters, the final box office must be around 500 million to make a profit! However, judging from the premiere box office of "A Chinese Journey to the West", If you want to reach 600 million box office, unless you inject false information, there is no chance at all."
"Lu Yuan, maybe a short-lived genius..."
"A Chinese Journey to the West has polarized reputation,
Although the popularity is strong, it still cannot avoid the embarrassing situation of the movie box office. "
""Dream Traveler" may truly become the leader of Chinese sci-fi movies, or it may really hit the box office of China's first billion-dollar movie!"
"..."
"China Peripheral Entertainment News", "Southeast Film News", "New Media Entertainment News"...
In the early hours of the 16th, when the box office came out, these well-known newspapers drew up innumerable pieces of news, bad-mouthing "A Chinese Journey to the West" and at the same time blowing their heads against "Dream Traveler".
thirty million!
This is a very remarkable data!
There is really no Huaxia movie that has a real box office of over 30 million. Even among the movies co-produced by China and the United States, there has never been a movie that has broken through such an astonishing statistic!
"Dream Traveler"'s premiere box office of 30 million is too prominent, it shocked the fans!
Even to some extent, this movie is completely worthy of any Hollywood blockbuster...
How much is the premiere of the "King Kong Man" series in China?
How much is the premiere box office of the Hollywood epic sci-fi film "Battle in the Sky"?
After the shock, it was a shock!
Countless post bars, Weibo and other various media channels are all boasting about "Dream Traveler", and the ratings on Tomato.com are even higher.
To a certain extent, the special effects of "Dream Traveler" are really well used, and they are used very well. At the same time, the casting of the actors is also very good. The acting skills are all online, and there is no embarrassment at all...
Compared with the brilliance of "Dream Traveler", another "Journey to the West" of the same period is really tangled.
Why?
The box office of "A Chinese Journey to the West" is 19 million, less than 20 million!
Is this data bad?
Do not!
not bad!
It can even be said to be a pretty good box office!
but……
This movie is Lu Yuan's own work!
After a series of movie box office explosions such as "Groundhog Day", "The Man From Earth", and "Buried Alive", all the media and movie fans have formed a concept that if the box office of "Journey to the West" If there is no 500 million, then it is definitely a hit.
after all……
You invested close to 200 million, you fucking did such a shitty box office performance at the premiere, aren't you kidding me?
Therefore, "Dream Traveler" is very brilliant, while "A Chinese Journey to the West" has been badly sung!
Even the eldest son of Wantong, Chen Cong, a well-known rich second generation in the entertainment industry, and Qian Fuqiang and Xiaoqian Zong of Dole Sports, the advertising sponsors of "A Chinese Journey to the West" were also listed in major media. Money-burning duo!"
As for other advertising sponsors, they were also hung up again, and they were called money-losing heroes by the media...
……………………………
Sunday, October 17.
morning hours.
Another day passed.
The two movies are still in full swing in major theaters.
Everyone is staring at the new round of box office results of "Dream Traveler"!
The premiere day is Friday, and the number of viewers on Friday is naturally not as good as that on Saturday and Sunday.
The two-day box office results on weekends are when the records are truly broken.
so……
Many people wonder how many records "Dream Traveler" can break.
Can it really break the record of Hollywood blockbusters?
Inside Joaquin's office.
"Director Shen, Director Shen, we are developed, fully developed, broken, broken, crazy!"
"How much is broken?"
"Thirty-eight million box office!"
"What! Thirty-eight million box office? Eight million more than yesterday?"
"yes!"
"..."
After Jet Shen saw that the movie "Dream Traveler" he directed broke the box office of 38 million, his eyes widened.
At this moment, he felt like he was going to cry.
This data, even in Hollywood, is awesome!
Could it be that he is really going to become the champion of the billion box office?
Could it be...
I……
About to stand at the pinnacle of Chinese directors and become the creator of the first billion box office?
Shen Lianjie stared at the data tremblingly several times, and after confirming that it was correct, he suddenly laughed.
Had a good laugh.
It seemed that all the worries, grievances, and even all the fears before had been vented with laughter.
When the assistant Xiao Chen saw that Lianjie Shen was about to go crazy, he felt a little bit of fear.
It was the first time he met Jet Shen in such a state.
"That's right! How much is the box office of "A Chinese Journey to the West"?"
"Director Shen, the data of "A Chinese Journey to the West" is on the second page..."
"On the second page?"
"Um……"
""A Chinese Journey to the West" is 23 million, which is only 4 million more than the box office of the premiere?"
"yes!"
"Hahahaha, I won, I won, hahaha, I won, I won, hahahahaha!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The assistant watched Shen Lianjie laughing all the time, and after laughing more crazily than before, he was terrified and at the same time a little bit worried...
This director Shen...
Is he all right?
………………………
After Xu Cancan saw the box office data, a smile appeared on his face.
But then she felt a strange feeling in her heart.
This feeling gradually began to turn into uneasiness.
Yes!
do not know why……
She always had a sense of unreality.
The box office of classic Hollywood movies in China is only about 40 million...
This "Dream Traveler", why is the box office so crazy?
Is it really a phenomenon-level fire science fiction film?
if not...
So……
What is the reason?
And judging from Lu Yuan's fans and the popularity on the Internet, the box office performance of "A Chinese Journey to the West" shouldn't be like this.
Even now, the comprehensive popularity of "A Chinese Journey to the West" on the Internet is still comparable to that of "Dream Traveler"...
Even if there is a big gap with "Dream Traveler", it can't be so big, right?
Could it be that "A Chinese Journey to the West" really encountered Waterloo as the major media said?
still……
There are other reasons?
…………………………………
The weekend passed quickly.
Day three!
The box office data of "Dream Traveler" came out.
Forty-three million!
Yes!
Forty-three million!
After seeing this box office result, everyone in the entertainment circle was shocked.
Fans were stunned.
Sci-fi fans were stunned.
All the big and small entertainment companies think this "Dream Traveler" is crazy!
This data is simply amazing!
Even if Hollywood's really big investment comes to China, the data is basically only these...
Why is it so powerful?
Is science fiction on the rise?
A director of a billion-grossing movie?
Do not!
Maybe a billion isn't the end of Dream Voyager, maybe...
"Dream Traveler" is very likely to break through to 1.1 billion!
1.1 billion!
Persist in unbelievable, almost dreamlike data!
Could it be that from now on, China's movies will enter a brand new era?
As for...
The box office data of another "Journey to the West" is very ordinary.
Even on Sunday, even when there are the most students, the box office of "A Chinese Journey to the West" is only 26 million...
Twenty-six million is not bad for other people, but for the movie produced by Lu Yuan, it is very cheating!
He was even thrown off by "Dream Traveler" by 17 million!
In December's movie battle, "Dream Traveler" crazily set various records at the movie box office, while "A Chinese Journey to the West" performed mediocrely.
There is no doubt that this "Dream Traveler" is the absolute protagonist.
Absolute king!
The major media are crazily advocating "Dream Traveler"...
even……
Some people have already called Director Shen Lianjie the opener of an era!
……………………………
Xu Cancan silently stared at the box office of "Dream Traveler".
When she saw 43 million, she thought the data was crazy.
After she looked up the population of some Huaxia movies and the box office results of the movie's major theaters, her pupils shrank!
She suddenly realized something was wrong!
There is a problem with the data!
Of course, the data is not fake.
The data is very real.
Then, she silently knocked on the office of her mother Zhao Shuyi.
"What's wrong?"
"Is the box office data of "Dream Traveler" true?"
"It's true, what's wrong?"
"Mom... why, Tianqin, Wanjia's "Dream Traveler" crushed "A Chinese Journey to the West" at the box office, while the box office of "A Chinese Journey to the West" and "Dream Traveler" in Tianhe Cinemas are not far behind. ? In terms of film schedule, the two films are almost the same..."
"Hehe, why do you care about these things? Tianhe Cinemas can only be said to be a first-tier cinema, not a first-tier big theater like Tianqin and Wanjia, and its box office share cannot be regarded as a typical one..."
"Mom... I don't want you to lie to me... I think there is a problem with the box office of "Dream Traveler". After all, the box office performance of "Dream Traveler" is too crazy, so crazy that it makes people feel unbelievable..."
"Isn't the data of Lu Yuan's previous movies crazy? Do you think it's reasonable? Do you think Lu Yuan hasn't done anything?"
"Mom, what do you mean?"
"Lu Yuan is not a simple person... The boss of Tianhe Cinemas, Wang Yaohua's daughter is the vice president of Lu Yuan's company. I even suspect that Wang Jinxue and Lu Yuan are boyfriend and girlfriend. Did you try too hard?"
"Mom, what do you mean?"
"Means nothing……"
……………………………
After Wang Jinxue silently looked at the data and various reports, she narrowed her eyes.
If she wasn't the daughter of Wang Yaohua of Tianhe Cinemas, then she would definitely not be able to detect the tricks in the box office.
But it's a pity.
She is!
Moreover, she is not stupid, on the contrary, she has been a genius since she was a child.
Although the data of the major theaters are very real and there are no flaws, Wang Jinxue still sees the tricks in a few filmings.
With Lu Yuan's popularity in China, no matter how bad the word-of-mouth of "A Chinese Journey to the West" is, it's impossible for it to premiere without 20 million.
It can't be only 19 million!
Even if half of the audience ran away, the data couldn't be like this!
after all……
There are many fans looking forward to "A Chinese Journey to the West"!
Why did the box office blow up eleven million on the first day?
After Wang Jinxue comforted Lu Yuan before, she faintly felt something was wrong.
Today's box office of "Dream Traveler" made her feel even more wrong!
"Hey, Miss Xia, I want detailed box office data for the past two days..."
"The detailed data is not..."
"No, what I mean is that I want to get accurate data on the schedule and box office of theaters in every province, city and county in the country!"
"why?"
"I suspect that the box office of "Dream Traveler" is a water injection, or that it stole the box office of "Journey to the West"!"
"????"
After hanging up the phone, she narrowed her eyes!
She clenched her fists suddenly, and her fists were trembling.
Then, she took a deep breath!
My Lu Yuan is not a soft persimmon that anyone can pinch!
I will find proof!
Lu Yuan may be a kind and generous person.
Maybe he was bullied by you, so he just smiled and didn't care.
but……
I don't allow it!
No one is allowed to bully him in any way!
Not even stealing the box office!
……………………………
"Jinxue?"
"Cancan..."
"What's wrong? Call me suddenly..."
"Congratulations to "Dream Traveler" for crushing "A Chinese Journey to the West". Hehe, congratulations for breaking the record."
"what?"
"Cancan, ordinary fair competition, everyone has nothing to do, winning or losing is normal, but this time you really went too far... "Longyuan" is just a small company, so there is no need to target it like this? Even if you and Lu Yuan do not deal with each other , I don't want you to use this method to deal with Lu Yuan either..."
"Jinxue, what do you mean!"
"Literally, I believe you should understand..."
"You doubt me!"
"No, I just wanted you to explain the data."
"Data... I'm not going to explain anything... box office is box office!"
"Oh."
"Ha ha."
……………………………
"Little Lu... Movies are really hard to shoot... I think it's okay if you just make traditional music with us, or... Otherwise, you can come to our Yenching University to be a teacher of folk music... This is the most important thing." It's the right way..."
"Xiao Lu, I think we are short of an associate professor in the piano department of Yenching University...Xiao Lu, what's good about making a movie, come on... This is what you want to do next. Young people must choose the right industry , you know? This way you can avoid detours..."
"Xiao Lu, although I am not from Yenching University, I am from Yanying University. I think Yanying University welcomes you very much...Principal Zheng has repeatedly said that when I meet you this time, I hope you will consider coming to Yanying University as an apprentice." Ph.D. supervisor...you can get twice the result with half the effort if you follow the right path..."
"..."
Over there, "Journey to the West" and "Dream Traveler" are in full swing.
But Lu Yuan, who was at Yenching University, was surrounded by a group of old people who talked about all kinds of persuasion of "getting back from the wrong way".
seem……
Feeling a bit brainwashed.
Lu Yuan was at a loss.
I……
and many more!
Why do you all have the attitude that I am not doing my job properly?
