James and John did not sit down and have a drink together as they had said before, but directly booked their plane tickets back to the United States.
Just talk about it on the stage and no one will take it seriously.
Thomson and Downey are gone too.
They have mixed emotions.
They found that they really couldn't understand Lu Yuan.
They don't know what Lu Yuan wants to do...
Downey originally thought that he could buy the overseas distribution rights of the film as long as he paid a price that met Lu Yuan's heart, but when they actually talked, they found that Lu Yuan had no intention of being moved by them at all.
No matter how they negotiated the price, no matter how low-key they found, Lu Yuan only had one sentence.
Those are the three words "I'm sorry the movie has been licensed".
Very polite and sincere, but also very speechless.
Huaxin Brothers?
After hearing the name of the company, the two of them were even more confused.
What is this for?
He doesn’t cooperate with them, Midland, or even with big companies like Paimon and Cobia, but he chooses to cooperate with Huaxin Brothers...
There's always a reason for everything, right?
But this seems completely unreasonable to them.
Could it be that Huaxin Brothers' Forrest was trying to sell the iron to Lu Yuan at an incredible price?
That's not right. Even if "The Man Came From Earth" made a fortune, there would still be no capital to buy "Groundhog Day," right?
The two of them were still at a loss after getting on the plane.
There were reasons for failure in the past, but there is really no reason for this failure.
"I am a nostalgic person. It was good to work with Huaxin Brothers on the first movie, so I will continue to work together on this movie..."
This is the reason Lu Yuan gave them.
but……
Tangni thinks that with Lu Yuan's unwillingness to suffer, the excuse of being nostalgic is too nonsense?
They would rather believe that a sow can climb a tree than this.
Forrest must have paid a price that he couldn't resist!
Definitely!
So what is it?
They still can't figure it out.
Of course, no matter what they thought, they never thought that Forrest would simply sell his company to Lu Yuan and become his younger brother.
After all, this is too incredible...
………………………………
"Shocked! Lu Yuan actually rejected the American League, rejected Paimon, and even rejected the olive branch offered to him by Gobia..."
"Lu Yuan once again showed his unbelievable operation and actually...rejected a large company to continue to cooperate with Huaxin Brothers?"
"Paimon, Cobia, and Midland failed to win "Groundhog Day" despite paying high prices. What's the inside story behind this?"
"What price did Huaxin Brothers pay..."
"..."
This series of news that people thought was fake news once again appeared on the headlines of major entertainment sections.
Just two hours passed, and fans and netizens who were originally very excited suddenly began to feel like fools.
I’m excited because so many American companies like Lu Yuan’s movies. Lu Yuan is like a fool. This operation is really amazing...
They found that they could not understand Lu Yuan at all.
They can understand why "This Man Came from Earth" was sold to Huaxin Brothers.
After all, Lu Yuan had no market base overseas, and Paimon’s price was not high. Lu Yuan felt aggrieved.
but……
"Groundhog Day" is completely different!
With so many big companies being optimistic about it and the price offered by it being enough to make any company in China nod in agreement, you chose Huaxin...
This operation is really...
It's inexplicable.
They originally wanted to lament on the Internet that Lu Yuan's operation was really confusing, but when they thought about Lu Yuan's previous operations that they couldn't understand, but the ending was not bad, they finally didn't say anything...
There are still people talking, but most of them are not as excited as before.
seem……
They are really getting used to Lu Yuan's operations.
After all, he is Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan's actions are always so strange.
Always so fresh and refined.
Geniuses are always different, so the choices of geniuses are always different from ordinary people, right?
You say you don't understand?
You are just an ordinary person, can you understand the artist's artwork?
You don’t understand either...
You don’t understand that this is normal, okay?
………………………………
Compared with the box office shock of "The Man from Earth", it seems that the box office results of "Groundhog Day" are not that shocking.
In other words, excitement has gradually begun to replace shock.
Groundhog Day is conservatively estimated to have a total box office of 600 million in China.
If the box office is 600 million, Lu Yuan can get more than 200 million yuan...
If you add more than 200 million yuan to the more than 100 million yuan on the card, the total is more than 300 million yuan.
Even if it costs more than 300 million to decorate two houses, Lu Yuan feels that he is still a solid person.
More than 300 million is definitely a good number. At least for Lu Yuan, his life is almost complete.
Lu Yuan felt that he needed to enjoy life...
When the "Groundhog Day" sample was handed over to Forrest, Lu Yuan was ready to continue to be his salty fish.
It feels so good not to have to worry about money!
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he never had the idea of becoming a Hollywood hero...
He really felt that he should take a breather. After other things in the company were arranged, Lu Yuan planned to go to other places for a good trip.
Well, it should be said that it is a pure trip without any purpose.
But if you want to travel to other places, you first need to learn some foreign languages.
For example, English.
Lu Yuan was shocked when he thought of this.
Lu Yuan originally thought that he was very talented in learning English, but unfortunately...
He was severely beaten by reality again.
He realized that not only did he have no talent for cooking, he even had no talent for learning languages.
He has been learning English for more than half a year, but with little success. He can still only understand speech but cannot hold a conversation.
This is very cheating.
But after realizing his shame and then being brave, Lu Yuan found that he really had to work harder to learn English...
After thinking about learning English, Lu Yuan realized another thing.
He thought about how he could have survived in this world if he hadn't relied on shameless plagiarism.
I can indeed write the script myself...
But they are all plagiarized based on the framework of the movies I have watched. If I didn’t have that knowledge, what would I do?
Although your acting skills are also online, they are basically based on imitation and a little improvement. If you really get an unfamiliar role, will you be able to act it?
Piano? Well, I know how to play it myself, but I can’t really play it to fool an expert...
I can play the guitar quite proficiently, but in fact there is a long way to go before being excellent.
Travelers do have advantages, but what if all these advantages are spent?
How much of the song do you remember?
How much of the movie do you remember?
"Forget it, don't think about it anymore, sleep, there are more than 300 million people, what should I be afraid of?"
"How can I defeat more than 300 million yuan? Are you kidding..."
Lu Yuan shook his head and yawned, then suppressed the uncomfortable thoughts and went to bed.
However, after sleeping for a few hours, he was suddenly awakened by a nightmare!
In a dream...
He found that his memory of his original world began to blur, and eventually he could no longer remember it.
Then the company spent 300 million to invest in a movie written by itself.
In the end, Shen Lianjie lost money at the box office!
Immediately afterwards, his company went bankrupt, and the game company also ended because he had no good ideas...
"Nima...are you still going to let me be a salted fish?"
"Is it wrong for me to be a salted fish?"
"But, will this thing in the dream really appear?"
"Fuck!"
After thinking of the scene in his dream, Lu Yuan felt very painful.
Even though he didn't know if it was because of scaring himself or self-suggestion, Lu Yuan felt that his memory was indeed starting to become a little unclear.
Although his memory was actually the same as before, he was still nervous.
"I wipe..."
"this……"
"So from now on I have to start learning and strengthening in all aspects?"
"Why don't we continue to be salty? After all, there are 300 million, and it is definitely a nightmare, isn't it? Everyone has nightmares, and the nightmares will never come true."
"But...I am now the boss of three companies, so I should be stronger, right?"
"How about just throwing the company away and leaving? It's more than 300 million. Think about it, as long as you don't mess around, you won't be able to spend it all in your lifetime, right?"
"This...can't do it. With so many people trusting me, I really can't just walk away...This...is too irresponsible."
"so……"
"Hey, forget it, go to sleep..."
The night is deep.
Lu Yuan was lying in bed and suddenly fell asleep again...
When he got up the next day, he shook his head frantically.
Dry!
What should I do?
With so much money, why am I so worried?
…………………………
The noisy discussion on the Internet has kept the popularity of the movie "Groundhog Day" at its peak.
At the same time, "Groundhog Day" did not disappoint at the box office in the next few days.
Although there was a slight decline from the 17th to the 20th, it has always hovered above 25 million, beating the once-number one "King Kong: The Rise of King Kong" and doubling its box office. It has always occupied the top spot at the daily box office. .
"You receive orders in times of danger, but you are lucky enough to live up to them. The strong may be late, but they are never absent!"
"He has proven himself time and time again with his talent. Perhaps, his name has become a guarantee for the box office!"
"Perhaps he has opened up another path for Chinese movies."
"Small cost doesn't mean you can't have big box office!"
On the Internet, the well-known film critic Mr. Wang Xianqiang wrote a nearly 4,000-word film review and analysis of the current Chinese film situation and the performance of "Groundhog Day". In the film review, he specifically called this era the darkness before dawn. .
Yes, it is indeed the darkness before dawn.
While everyone is groping and trying cautiously, Lu Yuan has already brought hope to Chinese movies.
In the film review, he felt that the rise of Chinese films is not far away. It is true that Hollywood is wreaking havoc on the Chinese film industry, but Chinese films are not without the power to fight!
In short, the film review article praised Lu Yuan a lot, and even boldly predicted that Lu Yuan's next film would continue his science fiction movies. At the end of the article, he even boldly predicted that Lu Yuan would become the king of Chinese science fiction.
thought.
This film review has been reprinted countless times, and many people are even beginning to look forward to what Lu Yuan's next movie will be...
Yanying's Zheng Jianguo was silent for a long time after seeing this review.
His heart moved slightly.
He once again had the idea of letting Lu Yuan come to Yanying to give lectures.
In this lecture, he hoped that Lu Yuan could talk to Yanying's students about screenwriting, acting, and if possible, some experiences on the set.
He believed that these students were absolutely willing to listen.
A large number of these students are fans of Lu Yuan and follow Lu Yuan's news online every day.
So he made a call to Lu Yuan's company, and then the call was transferred to Lu Yuan.
"Principal Zheng...I'm sorry...I think I'm not qualified yet."
"Principal Zheng... I know you are also very sincere. In fact, I am also quite sincere, but I am really sorry..."
"Principal Zheng, please don't come here. Really... To be honest, I lack a lot of things. Otherwise, when one day I feel that I really have this ability, I will come here... It's really..."
Feel sorry."
"Well...actually I will come to Yanying after a while, but I am not a lecturer but a student. I realize that I do have many shortcomings. I hope to have a systematic learning opportunity, such as
Screenwriting, such as acting..."
"What do I need to prepare for the entrance exam?"
"..."
"???"
After Zheng Jianguo hung up Lu Yuan's call, Lu Yuan's voice kept echoing in his mind.
Lu Yuan had clearly rejected him.
But the last sentence made Zheng Jianguo feel a little strange.
Lu Yuan comes to Yan Ying to be a student?
Systematic learning? And learning screenwriting and acting?
this……
Are you kidding me?
But the meaning behind Lu Yuan's words was not a joke.
Entrance exam?
this……
If you really come here to be a student, who will teach you?
