Chapter two hundred and ninety-eight all want overseas authorization
30 million box office on opening day!
Single day!
It’s not the May Day Golden Week, it’s not the weekend, and it missed the peak box office period. There isn’t even any offline promotion, and even the theaters’ promotional advertisements smell like new paper...
There are really too many things that cannot be successful. Any movie that replaces these things would be a tragedy.
but……
He succeeded!
He got a terrifying result of 30 million box office!
If it didn't let everyone go, if it put it on the May Day Golden Week, if...
Fans, netizens, and fans can't even imagine how terrifying this result is, and it may even directly surpass "King Kong 2"...
They were shocked!
After being shocked, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Yuan finally did it.
Subsequently, countless names such as "China's Last Card", "The Horn of Counterattack", "The Fight for the King in May" and so on appeared on the Internet to describe "Groundhog Day".
"Groundhog Day" is like a mighty fighter, aggressively joining the battlefield and revealing its own fangs when all Chinese movies were in an embarrassing situation...
"The Man Is From Earth" did not have such an embarrassing premiere schedule.
The movie theaters have a very strong schedule for "Groundhog Day", basically all Chinese movies and some Hollywood movies have been scheduled for this movie.
They did not directly put the film's film schedule second because the investment was low, nor did they abandon it because the film's production company was very slow and had little publicity. They gave it all the resources they could.
Enough.
Or maybe this movie had high hopes from the beginning!
There is no other reason than that this movie was produced by Lu Yuan's "Remote" company.
Written by Lu Yuan, starring Lu Yuan...
These are enough.
Lu Yuan may not be a big deal in Hollywood, but in China he is a representative of the new generation of miracles.
The Chinese entertainment industry has never seen a tough guy like Lu Yuan in recent years.
Therefore, they felt that this movie was not bad, and Lu Yuan even gave them a very strange illusion this year...
If anyone can stand up and resist when Hollywood movies are crazily ravaging Chinese movies, then this person should be Lu Yuan.
Yes, that's him.
Are movies cheap?
hehe!
It has always been low-cost.
Not enough publicity costs?
hehe!
He never had any publicity.
In fact, when the box office came out on the opening day, all the theater leaders nodded unanimously.
Lu Yuan really did not disappoint them!
The premiere was 30 million, which is already an incredible record in a single day.
………………………………
USA.
Midland Corporation.
"Director, is the data out?"
"How many are we? Three million in the United States, 15 million in China..."
“Are we number one in America?”
"Yes, we are number one, and the second place "Night of the God of War" is half a million dollars behind us, but..."
"But what?"
"We are ranked second in China, and the movie "Groundhog Day" that you have been paying attention to has finally premiered."
"How old is he?"
"Thirty million!"
"..."
Andor, the director of "King Kong: The Rise of King Kong", has actually been paying attention to Chinese movies.
He originally wanted to check out "Groundhog Day". After all, the performance of "This Man from Earth" in the United States made Andor pay attention to the monster screenwriter Lu Yuan.
To be honest, the performance of "The Man from Earth" in the United States cannot be said to be very good. It can only be regarded as passing in terms of the US box office rankings. After all, there are too many movies that have exploded at the box office in the United States.
You said you beat "Future Yours"?
Sorry, defeating "Future You" is really not a great achievement.
but……
You have to know that the investment in this movie is only more than 100,000 yuan, which is only 20,000 US dollars when combined with US dollars!
this……
This in itself is an unprecedented miracle, and it can even be exaggerated to say that it can be regarded as a true miracle of God's coming.
When Andorra saw this kind of investment and this kind of box office ratio, he was immediately dumbfounded.
This person is a monster!
So he felt that Lu Yuan, a young Chinese man, really couldn't be treated as an ordinary opponent, and even had to be extremely cautious!
However, "Groundhog Day" left him feeling at a loss.
No information could be found, not even the entertainment company in China could find any information.
Nonsense, this "Groundhog Day" doesn't even have a promotional video, how do you check the information?
So he took a step back and paid attention to "Age of Aliens". Before "Age of Alien" was released, he checked all aspects of the film's information and promotional videos...
Then, he laughed.
There is absolutely no threat to him in this movie.
The plot is old-fashioned, the special effects are awkward, and the characters are pale...
In short, everything makes Andorra feel like adults and children fighting.
As for other movies…
Well, I don’t even bother to watch the other Andorra movies, they are basically of the inferior kind.
After it was confirmed that "Groundhog Day" would not be released on May Day, Andorra temporarily gave up paying attention to Chinese movies and concentrated on watching Hollywood movies.
It seems that the final opponent in this year's box office battle in May is still Hollywood.
Half a month passed, when Andorra began to forget about "Groundhog Day" and even thought that this movie was released in June, this movie suddenly appeared!
Premiere, 30 million!
After seeing this data, Andorra gasped!
Then he closed his eyes and suddenly felt happy.
If this movie is released together with his "King Kong" on May Day, then...
Are you still the daily box office champion?
He opened his eyes.
Of course, there are no ifs in this world.
At this moment, he remembered "This Man is from the Earth"!
Suddenly his eyes lit up!
The premiere of "Groundhog Day" in China was so terrible, so what if the overseas distribution rights of this movie were obtained?
So……
"Jones..."
"What's wrong director?"
"Go and talk to Manager Benny and suggest that they introduce overseas distribution rights for this movie..."
"Director, no need..."
"Why?"
"Director Thomson has just asked Downey to draw up a plan and tell Manager Benny..."
"Thomson?"
"yes!"
……………………
Paimon Company.
"James..."
"What's wrong? Andy?"
"I was very upset that I missed "This Man is from Earth" last time. I feel very sorry. So this time, can you contact China again?"
"Do you want the publishing rights to Groundhog Day?"
"Yes, you tell that Chinese guy, we can share the share or buy it out at a high price..."
"Andy, I can only try, but based on my understanding of Lu Yuan, we probably won't be able to get it..."
"Why?"
"Because he is very proud, his pride is beyond your imagination... Talented people are proud."
"Let's go and try. We can keep our posture a little lower."
"Well, I'll give it a try, but as far as I know, several other companies are also interested, and we may not be able to win, especially since Director Thomson has a very good relationship with Lu Yuan, and asked him to buy "This Man"
The rights to use "From Earth 2"..."
"Well, I understand, but our overall strength at Pamon is stronger than that of the American League, so we have a great chance of winning..."
"It's hard to say..."
"..."
……………………
Gobia Corporation.
"Manager, I want to get the overseas distribution rights of a movie..."
"John, God, what are you still doing?"
"Manager, what's wrong?"
"God, did you learn from what happened last time? Last time the company lost a lot of money and your year-end bonus was gone. Did you know that?"
"I want to quote "Groundhog Day." This movie and "The Man from Earth" were written by the same screenwriter... I think this movie is very good. This is my plan. Do you want to take a look?
"
"That Chinese guy's name is Lu Yuan?"
"yes……"
"John, let's try it."
"You agree?"
"yes!"
……………………
Titles such as "The Last Horn", "The Beginning of the Charge" and "The Last Card" are totally unacceptable to Lu Yuan.
To be honest, he doesn't care about this at all, and he never thinks of himself as a hero.
Being a hero is very tiring. He just wants to make more money. The more he makes, the better.
Lu Yuan was naturally surprised when he saw the box office of the premiere was 30 million.
Looking out the window at the moon in the sky.
The moon is as bright as a moon and exceptionally beautiful.
However, what he saw was not the moon, what he saw was money...
Lots of money!
The opening box office represents another success for this movie.
The opening box office of 30 million means that this movie will make another amount of money after it is completed...
He is that simple.
Just after Wu Tingting finished talking to Lu Yuan about the box office, Wu Tingting's cell phone rang. After answering the phone, Wu Tingting looked at Lu Yuan.
"Mr. Lu, Director Thomson called..."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"Director Thomson bought the overseas distribution rights of "Groundhog Day" from us on behalf of Meiluo Association, with an additional share of US$6 million..."
"Overseas distribution?" Lu Yuan's eyes lit up at first, but then he shook his head, "Forget it, help me refuse him, just say that it has been authorized to Huaxin Company."
"Yeah, okay." Wu Tingting nodded.
She knew Lu Yuan would respond like this.
After all, although the name of Huaxin Brothers has not changed, the entire company is actually owned by Lu Yuan.
The boss of Huaxin Brothers, Fores, calls Lu Yuan every day to report on the situation there and the box office share.
And very punctual...
It is Lu Yuan's style to keep the wealth from flowing to outsiders.
Wu Tingting naturally knows it very well, so the authorization for "Groundhog Day" naturally belongs to Huaxin Brothers.
There is nothing to dislike about this...
……………………
On the other end of the phone, Thomson was rejected.
Thomson didn't panic.
Downey didn't panic.
Both of them felt that they were not sincere enough...
They didn't know the situation of Huaxin Brothers Company, and they thought that their extra money was not enough, or that they were not sincere enough...
So these two guys flew from the United States to China again...
They want to show sincerity...
Wasn't this the same situation in "The Man from Earth 2" before?
First he was rejected, and then he came to China and worked hard, wouldn't he succeed?
