The box office of "Groundhog Day" has been released on the first day since its release in the United States.
The box office on the first day was not a hit, and it still made a lot of money, but everyone felt a little bit regretful.
The premiere box office was US$800,000, about 6 million yuan.
After "Groundhog Day", which became a hero in China, came to the United States, the box office did not beat "King Kong 2: Rise" as enthusiastically as netizens did. It was 100 less than the third-placed "Army of Darkness"
Multi-million box office.
After regretting it, everyone suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
Yes, sense of absurdity.
This feeling makes them feel ridiculous.
Did "Groundhog Day" perform poorly overseas?
No!
Not only is it not bad, even among the movies that have gone overseas in the past two years, "Groundhog Day" ranks among the top three in terms of box office performance, and its total box office performance definitely exceeds last month's "This Man Is From Earth"
.
This is a huge progress and success no matter what.
Has it failed?
No!
It has never failed!
In China, it successfully became China's flagship movie in May. Without this movie, May in China would definitely be an extremely humiliating month.
After China successfully fought against Hollywood, it officially began to conquer Hollywood like its older brother "This Man is from Earth"!
Of course, Hollywood is still Hollywood.
Real blockbusters have strong backgrounds and powerful special effects. The plot may have some holes, but many unique shooting techniques can completely make up for this shortcoming.
"The Man from the Earth" is very successful, but it also has its own reasons. After all, "Future You" can only be a low-cost film in Hollywood, although the investment in "The Man from the Earth" is even more incredible.
, but its plot is so amazing that it is eye-catching both in China and the United States!
Therefore, its counterattack was successful.
May is very different!
In terms of investment alone, the investment in these Hollywood movies is more than 20 million US dollars...
And what about the investment in Groundhog Day?
It’s only more than six million yuan, less than one million U.S. dollars...
The difference is dozens of times...
The gap between the two is completely different!
How does this compare?
When thinking of this, the sense of absurdity in everyone's hearts became even stronger.
They think it's ridiculous, and they even think they have cognitive problems.
Isn’t it a joke to compare the box office of two movies that are not invested at the same level?
But what was that sense of expectation at the beginning?
Do you think that just because the screenwriter of this movie is Lu Yuan, he can do anything?
He is also an ordinary person!
………………………………
Lu Yuan actually doesn't care much about box office or anything like that, as long as he can make money!
When the sun shone in the room through the window, Lu Yuan got up from the bed on time, but he felt a little depressed mentally.
It's like some otaku stayed in his room watching certain movies and doing some things that everyone likes to do, and he became depressed.
"Morning... so on time today?"
"Well, yes!"
"Didn't you sleep well yesterday?"
"A little bit."
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Yeah, right."
Wang Jinxue originally wanted to ask Lu Yuan to get up, but found that Lu Yuan consciously got up early today.
Of course, Wang Jinxue noticed that Lu Yuan suddenly had dark circles under his eyes.
In the past two days, Lu Yuan had been in high spirits after getting up every day, but today he looked completely out of place.
What is he worried about?
It stands to reason that two movies have become huge hits in two months. At the same time, the decoration of the new company has been completed, and the company is on the right track step by step...
It stands to reason that Lu Yuan's mood now should be as high-spirited as it was a few days ago!
Is it because you have hit a creative bottleneck?
Wang Jinxue shook her head.
Lu Yuan felt miserable!
He feels uncomfortable!
He is so sad!
After breakfast, he sat in the office, completely at a loss...
The English textbook was placed on the table. Lu Yuan studied it carefully, but he found that he couldn't seem to read it...
He was suddenly at a loss.
There is only salted fish and hard work in his mind...
He felt that he was facing a very difficult choice.
He found that he had become a very troubled person.
My mind is very serious about fantasizing about various inspirations, but my body is very honest and wants to be a salted fish.
This is so fucking deceiving!
A person like me who has no talent and is unwilling to work hard is really not good. Sooner or later, I will be eliminated by the world.
But I have 300 million. As long as I don’t invest money blindly, I won’t lose money, right? It’s a stable sum. And there are still many awesome movies in my mind...
But now I am the leader of a team! Many things need to be considered from multiple aspects, right?
Lu Yuan was melancholy!
He finally opened the drawer that he had not opened for a long time, took out a "red orchid" and drew a lottery to solve his troubles. However, after lighting the "red orchid", he found that he had fallen into a more deceptive situation.
in the midst of confusion.
Should I smoke or not?
Damn...
To smoke or not to smoke?
There was only one thought in his mind.
Under this entanglement, Lu Yuan watched "Honglan" slowly turn into a cigarette butt like a fool...
Then……
He was miserable.
"Bah bang bang."
"Come in."
"Are you okay? Do you have a cold?"
At this moment, Wang Jinxue opened the office door and brought over a cup of hot coffee.
She frowned and smelled a smell of smoke that she hadn't smelled in a long time.
Lu Yuan smokes again?
Then, she glanced worriedly at Lu Yuan, who seemed a little confused.
This was the first time she saw Lu Yuan with such an expression.
"I don't have a cold...it's good..." Lu Yuan took a sip of the coffee and found it very mellow. However, while drinking, Lu Yuan focused on the coffee again.
This coffee has no sugar added and is a bit bitter.
He used to like to drink coffee with sugar, but now Lu Yuan always drinks sugar-free coffee...
so……
Is it better to add sugar or not?
When I think about it, this coffee tastes really wrong again. It doesn't taste as natural as before.
My day!
"Is there something wrong with this coffee?" Wang Jinxue sat in front of Lu Yuan and looked at Lu Yuan staring at the coffee, suddenly feeling very strange.
"Hmm... let me ask, is it generally better to add sugar to coffee or not?"
"It depends on personal preference, well, mainly do you like things with added sugar or not?" Wang Jinxue was surprised that Lu Yuan would ask this question.
"This...I can't say it..." Wang Jinxue's seemingly simple words suddenly turned into a soul torture in front of Lu Yuan, making Lu Yuan instantly unable to answer.
Lu Yuan found that the entangled seeds seemed to take root in his heart, and then spread like a virus.
"Ah?" Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan strangely, "What are you worried about now?"
"Trouble is nothing to worry about...but I feel like I might need to see a psychiatrist. By the way, do you know a psychiatrist?"
"I have studied psychology for several years and have relevant qualification certificates. If you have any troubles, you can tell me and I can usually help you solve them." Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan.
"Well, I found that I can't find that carefree happiness again..."
"ah?"
"A year ago, I was a very happy person. At that time, I was very poor and had no money. My biggest idea was to make money to marry a wife...and then have a big fat boy..."
"And now what?"
"Now that I have money, I can't find the happiness I once had... I'm confused..." Lu Yuan raised his head 45 degrees, as if he felt that his ability to express himself was not very strong, so he put on his glasses again.
"Continue..." Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan.
"I actually have no ambitions. I have never wanted to make such a large sum of money, nor have I ever wanted to open a company, make movies, or enter the entertainment industry..."
"Continue..." Wang Jinxue's mouth twitched slightly, but then she remained expressionless.
"During this period, I discovered that money is just a torturous number. In fact, I have no interest in money..."
"..." Wang Jinxue's breathing gradually became rapid. Especially when she saw Lu Yuan wearing glasses and looking at the window at a 45-degree angle with a depressed look, she found it difficult to maintain that cold expression.
However, she still held back.
"I'm actually not a good screenwriter. I don't actually understand screenwriting. I'm not a real actor. I actually don't have any talent...except for being a little more handsome and a little more temperamental. I think I'm just an ordinary person.
People..." Lu Yuan looked very deep and spoke smoothly. He felt that he had spoken out what was in his heart.
"Pfft!"
When Lu Yuan talked about his handsomeness and temperament, Wang Jinxue suddenly couldn't help laughing.
"Be serious...psychiatrist...you are helping me look at mental illness..." Lu Yuan's face turned red immediately after hearing Wang Jinxue laugh. He suddenly felt that the heavy atmosphere he had finally brewed was gone in an instant.
Gone.
This is very uncomfortable.
Now that he wants to brew that kind of emotion, he can no longer brew it...
"Sorry, I've always been a very serious person... I just couldn't hold it back just now... You continue, I'll listen carefully." Wang Jinxue also wanted to return to that cold look, but when she thought of Lu Yuan wearing glasses just now,
She couldn't hold back the deep pretense.
Yes!
I have to admit that Lu Yuan seems to be very humorous.
"Are you really listening?"
"I'm really listening. You continue and I'll analyze it for you..."
"I'm done..."
"Finished?"
"Um."
"Any results?"
"pretend to be sethin syndrome..."
"What? This disease is very serious?" Lu Yuan suddenly became serious when he heard that Wang Jinxue suddenly started speaking English.
This thing sounds...
Is it a serious mental illness?
"Well, that's roughly what it means. It's really serious, and you must receive treatment... Well, I have to go and do some work beforehand... I will help you with treatment at noon..." Wang Jinxue showed another smile.
"Okay, thank you." Lu Yuan nodded. After Wang Jinxue left, he followed Wang Jinxue's voice and translated the English letters of "pretend to be sethin", and then he clicked on the webpage...
Then……
He saw the word "pretentious".
etc!
Pretending syndrome? ????
Do I look like a show-off?
Am I a show-off?
What the hell...
Bang bang bang.
Just when Lu Yuanfeng was in a mess, there was another knock on the door.
"Come in……"
"Um...Mr. Lu...I...I want to release an album. The album lacks a title song. Can you..."
"Forehead……"
After Lu Yuan saw Shen Zhiwei, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have let Shen Zhiwei go...
