August brings with it an unspeakable feeling of heat.
After the premiere day of "California Nights", the reputation of major media outlets was overwhelming, ranking directly at the top of the major word-of-mouth lists. At the same time, the three interludes "Love Romance" that appeared in the movie were even praised by many
Many professionals in the multi-circle rated it as one of the few soulful interludes in the film industry in recent years. After only a few hours, this piano music was pushed to the first place in the piano music category, and its popularity overtook the number one.
Second place for "Für Elise".
There is also a song that is once again bombarding the Internet!
The song is called "Hotel California"!
"I think this is a well-prepared satirical song that satirizes love in the current era..."
"This song exaggerates the plot of the movie in a subtle way. At the same time, the long and cumbersome melody represents an impact on the times and breaks the shackles... I never thought that Lu Yuan would compose English songs like this.
To the fullest!”
"Did Lu Yuan's "Romance of Love" and "Hotel California" make the movie "California Nights", or did "California Nights" directly push these two works to the altar?"
"Every lyric is rich in an indescribable charm. Similarly, the details described in the lyrics are very profound. Country rock has been sung by Lu Yuan with a different flavor. At the same time, this song..."
"Where is "Hotel California"? Is there really such a place in the United States? How did Lu Yuan create this song? This is incredible..."
"Hotel California" has been grossly over-interpreted by many, many people.
Also interpreted was Lu Yuan's creative experience. In the early morning, random rumors started flying all over the sky.
Some people said that Lu Yuan went to California, USA, to the small hotel next to the church, and saw many touching things...
Some people said that Lu Yuan got lost while traveling in California, and was finally rescued by a "professional woman". After chatting with the "professional woman", he actually saw a scene that those girls didn't recognize...
"California Nights", "California Careers"!
Damn...
this……
It seems to make sense?
The morning of August 2nd.
"California Nights" suddenly became a hit!
The Internet is full of this controversial Hollywood movie. In addition to the content of the movie itself, as long as you go online you can see "Love Romance" and reviews about "Hotel California"...
Similarly, the word "Lu Yuan" has also been on the headlines following the popularity of this movie, and there are all kinds of news.
With such a good reputation and explosive data in various aspects, the box office of "California Nights" will naturally not be too bad!
"California Nights" jumped onto the scene, reaching the box office peak in August with a box office of 12 million in a single day.
Twelve million?
You said less?
No, that's quite a lot.
After all, "California Nights" is a romantic and artistic film, and the audience itself is not very high. Even Hollywood's romantic and artistic films cannot have a higher audience in China than those of science fiction films and special effects films...
It is already very good to get 12 million at the box office.
The box office of "Airplane Nation" is not bad, with a box office of 10 million, but its reputation on the Internet has plummeted...
"What the hell? I really thought..."
"Damn, title dog..."
"I just said how could there be the kind of airplane I thought about... I entered the cinema and was excited to watch Claire's "airplane" take over, but Nima... actually showed me the airplane..."
"I'm so sad. You're just acting in a literary film. Why did you drag our goddess Claire along with you? And why did you call it "Airplane Nation"!"
"Cio, title dog!"
There was a lot of scolding on the Internet...
The whole story is about criticizing this movie as a hit movie, and many "gentlemen" who left in joy and returned disappointed were in a very bad mood...
However, think about reality itself.
Many movies that are too large cannot be screened in the United States, let alone a conservative country like China.
The things they imagined could actually be released, and it would be like dreaming about swimming in the Pacific Ocean...
As for Chinese movies...
The box office performance of "Black Bicycle" is slightly better.
This movie, which won the grand prize in Venice, had a box office of 1.5 million in a single day!
Yes, you read that right, 1.5 million ranked first among Chinese movies released in August...
Other movies…
I really can’t watch it, the single-day box office didn’t even break 1 million…
Tragic?
Haha, it’s more than tragic!
A complete failure cannot fully describe the current situation of Chinese films this month. It is not even qualified to become a competitor of Hollywood films!
………………………………
After Shen Lianjie saw the popularity and headlines on the Internet, he really didn't know what to say.
He felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
The casting for "Dream Traveler" has ended, and the popularity has pretty much subsided.
There is nothing to hype anymore.
On the cusp of this storm, no matter what method he tried, he could not shake Lu Yuan's popularity.
Lu Yuan is really good at this skill.
The chain reaction was much stronger than he imagined!
never mind!
Let’s first announce that we’ll be filming “Dream Traveler”.
After so many failures, Shen Lianjie knows that the quality of the film itself is king!
If the quality is not good, no matter how powerful your promotion is or how much investment you make, the audience will not be able to buy it.
………………………………
The storm rises and the storm subsides.
Lu Yuan, who dominates the headlines and is wreaking havoc on the entertainment industry, is now staying low-key in his office and writing the script for "Brokeback Mountain."
He doesn't even pay attention to what's going on in the headlines.
He is working hard to catch up...
The script of "Brokeback Mountain" is actually not difficult to write. The plot is vivid in Lu Yuan's mind. Lu Yuan only needs to convey the key contents and write down the details at the same time.
Of course, although the script was not difficult to write, Lu Yuan was very serious about the details of the filming.
For example, what kind of emotions should be used by actors in such a plot, what kind of psychological activities should be used, what kind of tone should be used...
In short, he completely followed the shooting conditions of "Brokeback Mountain" in the original world.
Lu Yuan also considered the details of the landscape photography very carefully.
He very much hopes that James can film according to his own ideas.
In a sense, "Brokeback Mountain" can be regarded as the best one among this genre. In many cases, it shows such a love story between two men in a beautiful way...
Lu Yuan went online to check out the filming locations for Brokeback Mountain. When Lu Yuan discovered that these locations were available, Lu Yuan felt relieved and continued to write down the details.
After writing for a whole day, Lu Yuan finally sketched out the movie script and noted everything he wanted to write in it.
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I feel very tired, I feel a sense of accomplishment...
Another thing has been accomplished.
"Mr. Lu, are you looking for me?"
"Well, pass this script to James..."
"Oh...wait a minute, Mr. Lu, is this really...that kind of love script?"
After Wu Tingting received the script, she was stunned when she saw the contents.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"No, it's okay." Wu Tingting looked at Lu Yuan, and the indescribable feeling in her heart deepened.
Finally, he lowered his head and held the script and contacted James.
Although Lu Yuan noticed the flash of strangeness on Wu Tingting's face, Lu Yuan didn't think much about it.
He is indeed a little busy now.
…………………………
"What?"
"this……"
"Is this a script or a shooting guide? Lu Yuan..."
"..."
"..."
It’s night in China.
But it's daytime in America.
When James saw Lu Yuan's script after breakfast, James was a little stunned.
It is densely written about where to go for the scene, where to shoot, where to find water, and even down to the lens and the sunset...
this……
How is this a simple script?
This is entirely a shooting guide, okay?
Although what Lu Yuan wrote was not as formal as the shooting director, and it seemed to James that there were still many flaws, but after really reading it carefully, James felt that Lu Yuan was provoking him with the script!
He remembered.
Lu Yuan himself is also a director.
James narrowed his eyes slightly.
Of course he wants the script.
Not only does he want to do it, but he is also ready to start building a crew for filming immediately.
Of course, he will also accept Lu Yuan's guidance.
It is natural to absorb good things...
but……
He feels that he also has his own understanding of this movie!
In terms of many details, he felt that his work would be better and more complete than what was written in Lu Yuan's script.
…………………………
The night is deep.
There are still about three days until the official launch of "Westward Journey".
Li Qi is already making intensive preparations at Zhenbeibao in Ningxia.
Lu Yuan stretched and returned to the room to sleep.
Wu Tingting, however, always stood in the lobby of the company in a daze.
She was very confused.
The more she thought about it, the more scared she felt, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt like she had touched something she shouldn't have touched.
She remembered the contents of the script vividly.
Including dialogue, including description...
And when I think about it, Mr. Lu has always been a straight man towards girls since his debut.
This terrible thought is getting stronger and stronger.
"What's wrong? Why don't you go back so late?"
"Jinxue...I...I'm a little worried..."
"What's wrong?"
"I suspect...no, maybe...maybe Mr. Lu's temperament is a little biased..." Wu Tingting hesitated for a long time and finally expressed her inner thoughts.
"..."
Wang Jinxue was stunned when she heard this.
Then there was sudden silence.
Her subconscious told her that Lu Yuan was not that kind of person, but when she thought about knowing Lu Yuan until now, she suddenly realized that something was indeed wrong.
When she thought about how Lu Yuan seemed to be getting more and more weird recently, her heart suddenly trembled.
Could it be that "Dream Wedding" does not refer to...
But...
"Jinxue...I..."
"No, Lu Yuan, you go to sleep."
"oh."
After Wu Tingting hesitated and left the company, Wang Jinxue silently took out the phone.
"Hello...Fangfang?"
"Are you free tomorrow morning? If so, I hope you can come over..."
"right!"
"Symptoms? I don't know what the symptoms are right now... Come here and get tested..."
