Chapter 286 Equalling Heaven, the Great Sage, Lu Ergou!
When the $100,000 box office hit the next day, Xu Qifeng knew that his film's overseas journey was almost over.
It was 200,000 on the first day, and dropped directly to 100,000 on the second day, or even half of it. If it continues like this, it will definitely continue to drop on the third day.
Fifty thousand or sixty thousand is possible!
There is no doubt that this is basically an ironclad rule.
You can't explode on the first and second days, so you expect to explode on the third day?
You are not "Buried Alive"!
And there are really too many reasons for the miracle of "Buried Alive" to explode later.
Chen Fangyuan on the other end of the phone wanted to comfort Xu Qifeng, but he also knew that he really couldn't find a good reason to comfort him. In the end, he could only say that Chinese movies in Hollywood were basically like this.
Within the normal range.
This is a matter of national conditions and cultural differences. I don’t blame Xu Qifeng for this.
Of course, he was equally disappointed.
Of course, being scolded by Gobia is secondary. The main reason is that this movie is the first film that Tianyu has tried to cooperate with Hollywood Gobia! He has high hopes for this movie.
But this kind of achievement is really...
Forget it.
The tide is over...
He knew that the overseas market of "Breaking Aliens" was officially over.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Qifeng looked at the Huaxia box office for the day.
China's box office is okay, still around two million, and did not drop two million like "Future You".
This gave him some comfort, after all, the movie had already made a lot of money in China.
Then he looked at the number one hit, "This Man Is From Earth."
After this movie bombarded China for so long, the box office finally couldn't hold on and fell, but even if it dropped again, its box office would still be 7 million!
Why is there no news about the overseas box office of this movie?
After Xu Qifeng hesitated for a while, he called Chen Fangyuan again.
"You want to know?"
"Um……"
"Okay."
Chen Fangyuan on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then gave Xu Qifeng a figure of 100,000 box office on the first day and 150,000 on the second day. Then he hesitated and told Xu Qifeng that his "Breaking Aliens"
Part of the film schedule has been changed to "This Man is from Earth". This movie has received a particularly good response in the United States...
Judging from this, the results on the third day will definitely go to the next level, and may even double!
After hearing this, Xu Qifeng closed his eyes silently.
He suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Everyone is a Chinese film company, and they have so many resources to support them. It can even be said that they are blessed with hard conditions, but you are in a company that is not even second-rate, and not many people even knew about it when it was released!
Why is the gap still so big?
Why?
Why do you do that?
It is said that it is a matter of national conditions, but is this a matter of cultural differences?
"..."
………………………………
"How's the overseas performance of "Blast Aliens" going?"
"Overseas results...are somewhat unsatisfactory."
"How many?"
"Go to Tomato.com and check it out."
"oh."
"What? The total box office in two days was only US$350,000?"
"What do you think?"
"I'm very disappointed... Alas, we still failed..."
"There's nothing surprising. It's normal. Over the years, the box office of China's overseas movies has basically failed. This "Alien" is just repeating the old path of those movies. In fact, the reason for your disappointment is
I just had too high expectations for this movie and had undue illusions."
"Yes, it will take some time for our Chinese films to open up markets overseas. It seems we really can't be too optimistic..."
"In fact, the main reason is that this movie borrowed some plots and plots from the Hollywood movie "Alien Attack". It may be a little novel in China and is considered acceptable, but in the minds of overseas fans, this movie is really awkward.
Absolutely, I think if you really want to make a word-of-mouth movie overseas, you first need a good original script, and then you need some capable actors...these all add up."
"Well...yes, but there are really...not many good screenwriters in China. Basically, most of them stick to the rules."
"Who says it's not the case? Lu Yuan is pretty good, but it's a pity that the overseas distribution rights of the film have gone astray. Hey, I don't know what Ergouzi is thinking..."
"By the way, how much is the overseas box office of "The Man from Earth"?"
"Let me take a look, it seems that there is no update on Tomato... huh? No, it has been updated?"
"100,000 on the first day, 150,000 on the second day? Wait, this movie doesn't seem to be a hit overseas? No, it might be a hit!"
"666!"
In Yanjing's junior dormitory, two students from the acting department stared at the computer in disbelief.
When they saw the overseas box office of "The Man from Earth", they felt as if they had seen a miracle happen!
Yes!
A miracle happened!
And this miracle was completely born out of adversity!
There is no publicity, no strength, no extra funds, and not even a strong relationship!
Isn’t this considered adversity?
They looked at the comments below.
They found that the comments below were full of all kinds of 666s and various touching comments. There were even a group of people who specially apologized under the comments, saying that they should not have accused Lu Yuan before.
Although it has not exploded yet, according to the news from some overseas insiders, Lu Yuan's movie has increased its film schedule in major overseas theaters, and it is very likely to have a small explosion on the third day!
this……
Damn it!
Like a monster.
"If nothing else happens, well, if I'm not wrong, this "This Man Is From Earth" will become the only Chinese movie this year to gain a reputation in overseas markets!"
………………………………
"Going against the trend, the overseas results of "The Man from Earth" are gratifying! Perhaps, it may surpass "The Extra-Terrestrial"!"
"Survival in a desperate situation, there is no way ahead, fight to find a way out!"
"When everyone thought that the Chinese film overseas market had been almost wiped out, he stood up!"
"This man is here again!"
"..."
"People's Daily", "China Entertainment News", "China Entertainment Weekly"...
After seeing the box office results on the second day, these well-known domestic media newspapers immediately issued various headlines about "This Man is from Earth". Of course, these headlines were accompanied by the two characters Lu Yuan.
At this moment, all netizens saw these titles.
Netizens were shocked!
Although the box office of 100,000 or 150,000 is very average, it is very ordinary.
However, you have to know that this is overseas, without any resources, and even few people know about it!
This kind of situation happened suddenly and showed an upward trend, so...
No need to ask on the third day, it will definitely explode!
This movie is so fucking popular overseas?
After the shock, there are surprises!
Many fans of Lu Yuan immediately sent various blessings on Lu Yuan's Weibo.
In particular, the Ergouzi action movie fan group not only sent blessings, but also left a thousand words of bragging comments...
This comment went viral, but was subsequently blocked.
Nonsense, your chest shatters boulders, your chrysanthemum explodes steel bars, your muscles hit the sky, a big bird can lift mountains, etc. It really makes people think you are driving, and what do you describe us as two dogs?
Could it be described as the biggest monster in China?
This must be blocked!
After getting excited, netizens and fans immediately thought of Lu Yuan's previous Weibo post.
At this moment, they felt extremely emotional, and this Weibo post that had been sinking suddenly exploded in popularity.
"Do you know who I am?
listen up
Ten thousand years from now on
You will all remember this name
My name is Monkey King, the Monkey King!"
A very contagious sentence!
The image of Lu Yuan even appeared in their minds.
Lu Yuan held the golden hoop and faced the gods and demons with a contemptuous smile!
In the minds of netizens, these gods and demons seem to have turned into questioning trolls, sunspots who constantly ridicule, and countless pretentious villains who jumped out to badmouth during this period!
But Lu Yuan is fearless. He uses his achievements to tell these people that even if he does not cooperate with those big Hollywood companies, even if he has no publicity power, even if he is in a desperate situation, he can still show off!
This moment...
He is so proud!
He is fearless!
right!
It's him!
It's him, it's him!
who is he?
He is Monkey King Lu Ergou!
A man who never fails to surprise you!
…………………………
"Is it going to explode?"
"If there are no accidents, this movie will definitely be a hit, and it will most likely be better than "Future You"!"
"Did this make him get up?"
"yes!"
"You go out first."
"yes."
After Chen Jianfeng saw this data, his happy expression suddenly turned unhappy.
Fortunately, he didn't have a heart disease, otherwise he would have been so happy and sad these past few days that he would have been sent to the hospital immediately for robbery!
Even though he was healthy, he still felt a very humiliating slap in the face.
The slap was so severe that my face was even swollen.
He has been looking forward to landing far away from home!
And in this almost impossible situation, how could Lu Yuan not rush into the street or even have a small explosion?
This is completely unscientific, okay?
Damn, is this person a human or a ghost?
After Chen Jianfeng was tortured by Lu Yuan like this, he found that he had completely begun to doubt life.
…………………………
After Lu Yuan's movie news once again made the headlines in major sections of the entertainment industry, everyone in the "Yuan Yuan" company was extremely excited. Li Qi even felt that his life had reached its peak. He left early and came home late every day to accept the news.
Interviews with reporters from major channels.
This is an honor that I have never thought of before!
But Fatty Wei felt that the pressure suddenly increased.
After Li Qi suddenly made such an unreasonable splash, he would definitely be embarrassed if his "Groundhog Day" didn't explode at the box office. However, now he has no choice but to do his best to make this movie a success.
movie.
As for Lu Yuan at the center of the vortex?
Lu Yuan didn't feel any other excitement except that he felt happy after wandering in the pile of money.
Even, he couldn't be immersed in the excitement of glory like others.
As more and more industries opened up, he found himself extremely busy!
Noon on the 20th.
Lu Yuan came to the "Meet You" cafe and met Yang Susu, the editor-in-chief of Huaxia Publishing House.
Yang Susu, well, it sounds like a very ancient name.
Of course, Wu Tingting came with Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan originally planned to let Wu Tingting do her own thing and help him deal with the countless reporters. After all, there are always a lot of reporters guarding the door of the company every day like crazy trying to interview him.
You can't drive him away, and calling the police is of no use, right?
In the past, Wu Tingting had to deal with these reporters.
After all, there is nothing the reporters can do if a tall and thick figure is placed there to fight.
But this time Wu Tingting was extra stubborn.
She said she was afraid that Lu Yuan would be cheated, so she had to come!
The reason is naturally very good!
When discussing such an important issue, it is very likely that a contract or something will need to be signed, and she must be present.
