Chapter 291 The takeaway thing is exposed! Thirteen thousand!)
"Mr. Lu..."
"What's wrong?"
"Thomson will come to China to see you tomorrow."
"What is he here to do..."
"I think it's better to talk about "This Man is from Earth"."
"Tell him not to come, really, don't waste money..."
"Thomson is very paranoid and he won't listen."
"..."
I knew Thomson and Lu Yuan.
The two had met once before during the Goya Awards. In Lu Yuan's impression, Thomson was a middle-aged man with a beer belly who always had a smile on his face and looked very friendly...
Of course, what impressed Lu Yuan the most was the way Thomson looked when he came on stage to award the award!
Lu Yuan remembered that at the award ceremony, Thomson stood on the stage and gave his acceptance speech. Lu Yuan found that his Mediterranean forehead was particularly shiny under the light.
Lu Yuan wondered at that time whether Thomson had waxed his forehead.
Thomson called Lu Yuan through various channels.
The content of the phone call was also very simple, that is, he hoped to make a movie together with Lu Yuan. He was interested in the second part of "The Man from the Earth" and he already had a rough script idea in his mind.
After Lu Yuan heard this request, he immediately rejected Thomson's request.
No matter what Thomson said, he refused.
There is indeed a second part of "The Man from Earth", even in the original world.
But Lu Yuan will never film the second part. Not only will he not film it, he even directly announced on Weibo that he will never make a second part.
Why take a photo?
Film it and scold him?
Lu Yuan still remembered that he accidentally saw the movie "This Man is from Earth" in his original world, and he was so amazed. Then he found out that there was a second movie online, so he paid a VIP fee and watched the second one.
department……
Then he watched Lu Yuan's expectant smile gradually disappear, and slowly turned into an expression like he had seen a ghost.
He even wanted to curse!
If you use four words to describe it, Lu Yuan would definitely use the four words "a dog's tail to continue the mink" to describe this movie.
Damn, this is such a trap. This is just for the sake of scolding!
Therefore, when many netizens on Weibo began to ask Lu Yuan when he would film the second part, Lu Yuan directly announced on Weibo that he would not film the second part again...
He directly cut himself off.
nonsense!
The criticism after it was filmed was secondary. The most fundamental reason was that it was an absolute loss at the box office.
It's not like he's sick.
So even if Thomson said anything on the phone, Lu Yuan would refuse.
He still has some conscience, he really doesn't want to cheat Thomson.
It's a pity that after Thomson was rejected, instead of giving up, he persisted in his evil intentions.
Lu Yuan really felt a headache after hearing the news that Thomson was coming to China to meet him in person...
Couldn't this balding middle-aged man use his waxed Mediterranean head to think about why he refused?
He has made it so obvious on Weibo that he cannot make this movie, why doesn't he understand?
Lu Yuan shook his head.
Very speechless.
…………………………………………
April 25th.
May 1st is getting closer.
This monster-like movie "The Man from Earth" finally exhausted its last potential in China and successfully became famous.
The total box office just exceeded 295 million.
There is still 5 million short of 300 million.
But converted into US dollars, the box office is almost more than 40 million.
Although the overseas box office did not beat "Future You" at the highest point in the end, the global total box office has completely achieved overtaking. According to the final statistics on the 25th, "This Man is from Earth" directly surpassed "Future You" by three million
The box office is US$4 million, and this figure is slowly growing. According to the plan, the overseas draw will be held on April 30. There are still 5 days left. Professionals analyze that it will eventually exceed the box office of about 4 million, reaching a total global box office of 4 million.
Fifteen million dollars in data!
This is already a pretty amazing result!
After the glory comes the end. After the end, the hero does not grow old, but ushered in a new life.
Originally, Lu Yihong wanted to let everyone know him through "Buried Alive".
"Buried Alive" is indeed a hit, and its box office results are also exploding.
but……
Everyone knows the director Lu Yuan, and he is the biggest hero in shouldering the lead of a movie...
All right.
It seems that apart from making some money, not many people take him seriously.
People only focused on the talented screenwriter Lu Yuan.
Lu Yihong was helpless, so he gritted his teeth and worked hard to go to "The Kingdom of Qin Emperor" and pretended to be Zhao Gao.
And then there’s “The Wanderer”…
He also played a role diligently in "The Wanderer", and his role as a gangster was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Unfortunately, "The Wanderer" is even worse. The only people talking about the movie online are Lu Yuan and Fatty Wei, and he...
Stay where it's cool.
The brilliance emanating from Lu Yuan was so strong that Lu Yihong felt that if ordinary people stood next to Lu Yuan, they would be blinded by Lu Yuan's brilliance!
This is Lu Yihong's sadness.
The sadness shrouded in Lu Yuan's glory.
Later, when he chose to film "The Man from Earth", Lu Yihong not only wanted to play the role diligently, but also felt that Lu Yuan was not the director, and he was not interested in starring.
At least everyone can pay more attention to him when it is released.
Unfortunately, he still found that he was wrong.
Judging from the popularity on the Internet and other aspects, everyone's focus is still on Lu Yuan.
After everyone watches this movie, everyone will sigh and say that Lu Yuan is really a genius screenwriter.
Lu Yihong originally thought that this movie would be like "Buried Alive" and that he would make a lot of money, but he would not be famous...
But in fact, Lu Yihong finally ushered in the second spring of his career after "This Man is from Earth".
Some things have quietly begun to change, and the efforts you have made cannot be in vain.
While being shrouded in the glory of Lu Yuan, Lu Yihong gradually gained a large number of fans and movie fans of his own. At the same time, as the movie box office exploded day by day, countless variety shows invited Lu Yihong to come there every day, and reporters would think about it every day.
Do an exclusive interview with Lu Yihong and talk about his journey...
certainly……
Most of these reporters were rejected by Xia Hong.
Xia Hong did not arrange for these reporters, but directly called Zhou Shuai...
The good news does not go to outsiders. All employees in "Remote" Entertainment have the same trait, that is, they are all united.
They all have one idea, that is, good things must be digested internally and cannot be made easier for outsiders.
After Zhou Shuai received the call, he was so excited that he came over and conducted an exclusive interview with Lu Yihong. He also recounted Lu Yihong's experiences since he was a child and the hardships he endured during those years of being refrigerated.
Joaquin was so angry after seeing this interview that the leadership even scolded those who had hidden Lu Yihong, and even named Zheng Tianlong.
pity……
Zheng Tianlong couldn't hear it anymore.
Now that his wife and children have separated, Zheng Tianlong simply immigrated to the United States. No matter how he develops in the United States, the Chinese entertainment industry has nothing to do with him.
As for those messy variety shows, Xia Hong also directly rejected them. She felt that Lu Yihong could not participate in those messy and hype variety shows now. Lu Yihong was now in a critical period of his career and could not go off track.
However, when Xia Hong received the invitation call from "Happy Camp", everything changed...
………………………………
"Mr. Lu..."Happy Camp" gave us a call and invited us, the crew of "This Man is from Earth", to visit the base camp..." Xia Hong immediately came to Lu Yuan's office after receiving the call.
"Oh, then let Lao Lu and others prepare..."
"Mr. Lu..."Happy Camp" asks if you are free recently. If you are free, let's play together..."
"Me? Sister Xia... I just joined "Happy Camp" not long ago, and I've been very busy lately. I really don't have time. Please help me go back there and say thank you for their kindness."
"Mr. Lu, what they're saying is that the conditions are negotiable..." Xia Hong hesitated slightly.
"No negotiation, there's nothing to discuss, just go ahead." Lu Yuan shook his head.
When he thought of being on "Happy Camp", he thought of his cooking skills. When he thought of his cooking skills...
Well, he just has a headache.
"Oh." Xia Hong nodded after seeing that Lu Yuan really had no intention of going to Happy Camp. Although she felt regretful, she also felt inexplicably relieved.
Lu Yuan's participation in "Happy Camp" naturally has advantages, at least he doesn't have to worry about popularity and attention, but there are also disadvantages...
Lu Yuan is naturally the focus of everyone's attention on the stage. If he goes on stage, Lu Yihong will probably only be used as a backdrop again...
Xia Hong felt very sad after seeing Shen Zhiwei's miserable appearance in that episode...
Although the ratings exploded, others...
Well, even An Xiao can only be used as a foil.
There is no way around this.
Xiangnan Satellite TV naturally had this in mind when it invited Lu Yuan to appear on "Happy Camp" this time.
What does Lu Yuan represent?
It represents traffic and ratings. As long as the ratings go up, what does it matter if other people act as foils?
It doesn't matter at all.
"that……"
"What?"
"Mr. Lu, what the Xiangnan TV station means is that if you, Mr. Lu, are really busy and can't get away, then forget it, but they hope you won't clarify on Weibo that you won't be on "Happy Camp" this time.
, they want to..."
"Want to use me to create a little hype?"
"Yes...after all, you are full of variety shows, and your name is very useful. At least it can be used as a suspense point to look forward to."
"Okay, now we have a good relationship with Shonan Taiwan, so that doesn't matter."
"Oh, okay." When Xia Hong heard Lu Yuan nodded in agreement, she felt relieved and turned around to leave.
She didn't think anything of it before, but as she got more in touch with Lu Yuan, she discovered that Lu Yuan never did things according to routines, and often did things beyond expectations...
Not only is Xia Hong a little nervous about these things, but even those at Xiangnan Station are not sure what Lu Yuan will do...
Anyway, it’s always good to give a warning in advance.
Lu Yuan felt depressed after seeing Xia Hong's leaving figure.
What do you mean when you look like you're worried about me causing trouble?
Am I this fucking kind of person?
I'm very busy right now...
And I never do those fancy things!
…………………………
Lu Yuan is really busy recently.
Busy filming "Groundhog Day"
Yes!
Filming "Groundhog Day."
"Groundhog Day" made the same mistake as "This Man Is From Earth," even worse than "This Man Is From Earth."
At least "The Man from Earth" was all filmed around the 25th, but "Groundhog Day" still has about one-tenth of the plot...
In terms of time, the filming will be completed at least on May 3rd.
It will definitely take a lot of time to complete the shooting and submit it for review on May 3, and then rectify a series of processes.
In other words, if it can be released in mid-May, it will basically be pretty good thank God.
I promised never to make this mistake again.
We promised that we would never let these people go again, but what will be the outcome?
Why……
I just blame myself for being too young.
Flags cannot be placed randomly.
During this period of time, Lu Yuan did not even dare to post any other advertisements on Weibo, and even cleared all previous Weibo contents.
He has one goal now, and that is to be low-key, low-key!
Be sure to keep a low profile during this time!
If he is too arrogant to let go, he will definitely be punished by God...
………………………………
In the evening of April 26th.
As the sun set, Lu Yuan was sitting in the office, ready to take a rest, but as soon as he narrowed his eyes slightly, Wu Tingting knocked on the door and came in.
"Mr. Lu...Thomson is here..."
"This Mediterranean uncle is really... speechless,"
"Ah? What?" Wu Tingting was stunned.
What does "Mediterranean Uncle" mean?
"It's nothing. You go and get ready first. Since you are here, we have to entertain you well. After all, you are a big Hollywood director..."
"Where are you going to have dinner?"
"Just put it in the "Meet You" cafe..."
"Oh well……"
…………………………
"Hello!"
"Dad Lu Yuan..."
"Yes, I was pretty good in "Age of Aliens"... my lunch boxes were pretty good every day, and these people also liked my lunch boxes..."
"Yes, no problem... I opened a takeaway shop as you said. There is not much business in the shop. Basically, it only supplies the crew..."
"Oh, don't worry..."
"Total? I made more than half a million in total...Dad Lu Yuan, what are we going to do next with these more than half a million?"
"Ah? Renovate the facade and officially open "remote" takeout? Is this really possible... I don't mean to hide it..."
"Oh oh oh, I understand, okay, let's order "Cheng Yuan" takeout..."
"..."
It's late at night.
The movie "Age of Alien" was completed and submitted for review a few days ago.
The movie will be released in time for May 1st.
Shen Lianjie's crew naturally disbanded after the closing banquet.
All the money that should be settled will naturally be settled before dissolution.
Of course, Shen Lianjie has always had a good impression of this takeaway uncle named Da Liu.
He felt that this person was quite honest, and he even told Uncle Liu, the delivery man, that if there was a chance for the next movie, the two of them could work together again...
Uncle Liu was naturally happy, and kept saying that it would be a discount and cheaper. It would definitely be cheaper than Lu Yuan’s place, and the quantity would be larger than Lu Yuan’s place.
Shen Lianjie is naturally very happy!
After "This Man Came from Earth" suddenly became popular, Shen Lianjie felt very sad!
Why is this bastard Lu Yuan so popular in all movies?
Can any movie this chicken invests in become a hit?
This made him jealous and unhappy...
So Uncle Liu's words naturally made him very happy.
At least Uncle Liu is a good person!
But……
When Shen Lianjie inadvertently heard Uncle Liu secretly making phone calls next to the toilet, his eyes widened instantly.
"boom!"
This moment...
He found that his world view had collapsed!
He felt cheated like never before...
He felt that all the strength in his body had been drained...
He couldn't keep his body steady.
this……
This moment!
Ten thousand grass-mud horses cannot describe his mood.
Lu Yuan!
I bought a watch last year!
Wuma Xingshuo
That... they all called me stupid... Now I have directly updated to 4,500... Is this... am I sincere enough? I am really not smart...
