"First of all, I would like to thank the Space Administration for its help. Before the movie was launched, we found the Space Administration and hoped that they could help."

"After all, Gravity is not a science fiction movie like Transformers. It must reduce the places that do not meet the actual situation. The Aeronautics and Space Administration is an authoritative organization. If they can get their support, from preparation to shooting to post-production, it will definitely reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble."

"They agreed readily, including the script creation and the scene of the sky looking up at the earth..."

In Beijing, the seventh cinema, Lu Xiaoran continued to say the lines that had been repeated several times...

"Why do you need to make a science fiction movie?"

It was this question again, Lu Xiaoran sighed secretly, thought about it, and then said: "I think it's time. Let me tell you the truth. Science fiction films are different from other types of films. They must have the national strength to endorse it! Only when the country is strong enough can it be possible to make a real science fiction film."

"Only when our astronauts really go to heaven and tell the stories of Chinese people at the space level, the audience will not think that we are making up."

"Otherwise, even if you say this is something that will happen in the future, they won't feel like they're going to be!"

"And, to be honest, if I don't shoot, I don't think there are other directors who are willing to shoot. I'm not afraid of failure and have enough financial support... I don't have any other hobbies except movies. So, five years ago, I wrote the script of "Gravity" and gathered people..."

As for roadshows, the questions asked were similar. Although Lu Xiaoran has answered them countless times, he still has to pretend that he has heard such a question for the first time and answered them patiently.

"Why do you want to premiere in North America?"

Yo, this is a new problem!

"The main thing is to use the reputation of North America to suppress the voices we are not optimistic about..."

"Don't you think?"

"I remember it was last year when a well-known film producer answered a reporter's question, "Why can't we make good science fiction films?" His answer was, 'Because good scripts can't pass the review at all'... I thought it was ridiculous at the time. If you can't make good works by yourself, you will blame all the blame for the review? But his idea represents most domestic filmmakers. Even though Orange has made "Source Code" and "Moon", in their opinion, these two movies are not considered science fiction films!"

"I'm too lazy to argue with them, so I'll go to North America to release the screen first. Only by achieving success in North America can they shut up!"

"Luckily, I succeeded!"

The reporter's eyes lit up: "Can you reveal who said it?"

Lu Xiaoran pretended to hesitate: "This..."

Chen Zhixi grabbed the white: "Huang Zhonglei!"

"...Okay, that's what he said, I'm filming "Georgeous", and now I'm preparing for "The Wandering Earth", and then "Martian Rescue" and "Sphere Lightning", just to prove that some people don't understand the movie!"

I believe that Zhou Xingchi will be very happy after reading this sentence. The judge understands movies more than Mr. Zhou...

"Director, how much do you expect Gravity will be in the final box office?"

"…It's hard to say now, but North America's results have exceeded expectations. Let me be bold. The global results of 500 million US dollars are just the starting point!"

Global $500 million...

Just the starting point?

I originally wanted to refute it, but the box office of "George" in North America was $50 million on the first weekend. Generally speaking, North America is selling well, and overseas will definitely be selling well...

With Lu Xiaoran's appeal, the mainland has exceeded 1.5 billion, which is no problem. With a slight calculation, 500 million US dollars is really just the starting point!

...

At around 11 o'clock in the evening, Lu Xiaoran and his group ended their last roadshow, took a bus to the airport, flew to Shanghai, and had to go to Shanghai's theaters early tomorrow morning...

She leaned against the back sofa and placed her head on Tangtang's thighs. She helped massage her head, while whispering: "Are you tired?"

"…It's not tired, and you don't need to use your brain. Unlike in North America, you have to consider whether you will say the wrong thing, you can't offend the North American market, and you can't forget the truth. You have to think about how to answer appropriately. That's really racking your brains!"

"…You have white hair!"

"Is that so? Help me pull it out!"

Lu Xiaoran didn't care at all. She is 31 years old and it's normal to have white hair on her head, but she doesn't have silver hair all over...

Tangtang almost cried with pain...

"What's the point of crying about this? I'll stop after finishing this session... No, I still have a movie to shoot..."

"What's the show? Can you stop being so tired?"

"It's the "Dear" I told you before, which tells you about the anti-trafficking..."

Tangtang nodded and signaled that she knew.

Lu Xiaoran continued: "This play is very simple. It mainly depends on the actors' performance. I just sit behind the monitor and watch them!"

"Then you join the group again, I'll be with you!"

"…OK…"

The couple had almost finished chatting. Chen Zhixi, who had been hiding beside him and silently chanted, "I don't exist, I don't exist," finally found an opportunity to speak: "The box office on the first day was 220 million yuan, and we have a good start!"

Tangtang opened her mouth slightly and said astonished: "220 million...so amazing!"

"Sure enough, China is my home court. I spent 40 million US dollars in publicity fees in the United States, with a maximum of 23 million US dollars a day. On my own territory, it exploded on the first day!"

Tangtang: "…I want to post this sentence on Weibo!"

"What's there to post on Weibo? I'm just sighing..."

He glanced at Chen Zhixi: "Where is the reputation?"

"The reputation is good, Orange has a reputation of 9.9 points, Douban: 8.2 points..."

"That's really good!"

"Douban only has 8.2 points? Why?"

Tangtang clicked on Douban on his mobile phone and read the negative reviews of "Gravity":

'This plot is too "complex", is this a movie?'

‘There are too many five stars, one star is balanced!’

‘The first time I fell asleep in the cinema, I felt so comfortable!’

"Why do they say that?"

"It's normal. Most viewers around the world watch movies with TV series thinking. They need characters with personality, stories with ups and downs, and not knives. No matter what, they must put the "plot" on the surface first: who does what they say and what they say in the end. "Gravity" has not been edited. They feel dissatisfied with complex stories, and they can understand..."

Chen Zhixi didn't think so: "I suspect someone deliberately slander!"

"…Smear? This movie is supported by the Space Administration, and North America has achieved record results. How to smear?"

"You can read Weibo yourself!"

Lu Xiaoran took over the phone... It was the film review of "The Beijing News": "Gravity", failed!

Content, Lu Xiaoran didn't read it. If you want to pick it up anyway, Lu Xiaoran can derogate "Gravity" to "Heidows of the Earth" by himself...

Just because of the thin story, Lu Xiaoran can write a comment worth tens of thousands of words!

He didn't care much about these things, but he was thinking, "What's going on with the Beijing News?"

There are many media in the Orange Department, and generally media like the Beijing News will not suddenly jump out of movies targeting Lu Xiaoran!
