Chapter 452 No, because you are not Lu Yuan! Twelve thousand!)
"Director Andorra..."
"What's wrong?"
"Our popularity in China was surpassed by "The Ghost Story". Obviously our "Deep Sea" was the box office champion in October, but it did not get the treatment it deserved in China..."
"What's going on?"
"Just look at how hot China is."
"Um, well...what?"
………………
Chen Jianfeng's confrontational momentum on Taiwan finally disappeared without a trace.
Jiasheng Company was too lazy to cooperate with Chen Jianfeng.
After this, it was no longer interesting for Chen Jianfeng to perform a one-man show by himself.
Although there is no hype from Chen Jianfeng, the popularity of "Ghost Story" has always been high in Taiwan and mainland China.
There is always an endless stream of people watching "The Ghost Story" in Taiwanese cinemas every day, and almost every show is full every day.
The headlines in all aspects are all about "The Ghost Story" and discussions about the plot.
The entire Chinese cinema seems to be filled with a very strange trend...
"Famous emerging director Xu Lin is planning to film "Ghost Story" and has already filed for registration..."
""Ghost Reality" is already filming, and the screenwriter is Chen Twelve..."
""The Shadow Chronicles" is currently entering the casting process..."
"..."
In the past two years, Chinese movies were still quite good. Although the box office was not very prosperous, they were still in a state where everyone was making their own movies, so it was barely a hundred flowers blooming.
but……
Starting from this year, the Chinese film industry seems to have entered a very strange state.
for example……
After "Battle Blood 2" became a hit, many movies such as "Battle Mother 2", "Battle Night 2" appeared in the circle...
These following trends are quite reasonable.
but……
When "War 2" appeared.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Can you still follow the trend like this?
In early October, there was a wave of people following the trend of "Bloodshed 2" throughout China, and the popularity was quite high.
Although Li Mingrui was so angry that his balls ached, he had no choice.
After all, the law doesn’t actually provide detailed regulations on how to name it, right?
This is the same as the Xihu Longjing that Lu Yuan once bought. Although there are only two characters different between "hu" and "hu", in fact...
Not the same concept at all.
never mind.
If you can follow my trend and imitate me, it means that my movies are great and can set off quite a trend.
That’s pretty good!
Maybe my "Blood 2" can become the first and most popular movie in Chinese history!
Li Mingrui just comforted himself like this. With such comfort, he was in a good mood.
but……!
"Record of Ghosts" suddenly appeared out of the blue!
Not only did it generate a jaw-dropping box office hit, but countless others followed suit.
October 15th to October 22nd!
Just one week!
Yes!
Seven days!
In seven days, this trend of following the trend was like a tornado, completely sweeping through the entire Chinese entertainment industry!
Li Mingrui was stunned!
There was a twitching feeling!
His "Blooded 2" and others are just the names of movies that follow the trend. Apart from the name, everything else is fine.
but……
"Ghost Chronicles" is completely different!
Not only have all kinds of names followed the trend, but even the names of screenwriters have followed the same trend.
Within a week, countless 12th, 13th, 15th and other screenwriters instantly appeared on the Internet...
Likewise, films such as "Records of Ghost Shadows", "Records of Ghost Scenes", "Records of Ghost Shadows"...
These names are simply terrible. Only you can't think of them, but they can't write them down.
Xu Lin, the director of "Ghost Story", made everyone even more nervous with his operation.
As if he was possessed by a demon, he started filming without saying a word after completing the registration with the relevant departments. It only took him four days and an investment of more than 300,000 to complete "Ghost Story".
The filming cost 300,000, but the publicity...
All right……
He estimates that he spent more than four million on publicity!
Not only did he try his best to capture the popularity of all aspects of Weibo media, but he also did not miss out on all the hot topics.
Many people on the Internet say that Xu Lin's new movie is full of the familiar taste of bad movies.
Bad movie?
No!
How could it be a bad movie!
It doesn't matter if it's a bad movie.
Xu Lin feels that his movie has the original flavor of "The Ghost Story", and no matter how bad it is, it will still be successful at the box office.
You don't want to hit tens of millions at the box office like "The Ghost Story", but there's nothing wrong with hitting 10 million at the box office, right?
Because directors in the entertainment industry like Xu Lin have joined in the hype, the popularity of "Ghost Story" has become more and more fierce day by day, and the limelight has completely overshadowed October's "Deep Sea" and "Tough Guys 2".
Movies that exploded at the box office...
In fact, the single-day box office on October 22nd exceeded the terrifying record of 18 million!
Early October…
News from all aspects of the film industry belongs to these movies.
But after "Record of Ghosts" appeared...
Tsk tsk!
Feel sorry!
You have to give in.
The waves behind you in the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and you are completely out of date.
My time of terror has come...
When Andor saw that his "Deep Sea Shark" had completely lost its popularity in China, he was shocked.
He didn't get the treatment that a box office champion deserved at all in China, but instead...
His heat is gradually declining.
As the popularity of "Shark Tank" dropped, the subsequent single-day box office also gradually dropped.
I don't know why the decline has become quite obvious, as if I have fallen straight into a bottomless abyss.
seem……
Are you really angry?
Andorra unconsciously fell into doubt.
But it's okay.
He remains unbeatable in Hollywood.
At least……
"The Ghost Story" is not his rival in Hollywood.
………………………………
October 27th.
At the end of October, the autumn mood is getting stronger and stronger.
Many netizens call October the month of "Ghost Records".
Whether it's "The Deep" or "Tough Guys 2", these movies don't get the treatment they deserve at all. You even rarely see the box office news of these two movies on the Internet...
"Blooded 2" is similar, and it also has a feeling of being outdated.
"The Ghost Story" is like a big devil. It has become a trend and is even irresistible. Even if it did not rank third at the box office among movies in October, it has fully received the treatment that a champion deserves.
At the same time, netizens called October the era of bad movies.
In the next few months, netizens feel that there will be an endless stream of bad movies like "Ghost Story" that will blind their eyes.
When everyone, including some people in the industry, was lamenting this, the Weibo of the relevant department suddenly updated.
"There are many superstitious plots in "Ghost Story". Similarly, movies such as "Ghost Scene Record" and "Ghost Shadow Head Record" have many discordant and bloody scenes. We should actively promote the cause of harmonious Chinese movies and also respect the original plot. , such follow-up movies will not be released in mainland China in the future, I hereby declare..."
After seeing this statement, netizens applauded and gave this Weibo a rare number of likes.
As for the director Xu Lin who had spent millions in publicity fees and planned to make a fortune, he was stunned!
What?
What's going on?
Why not be released?
It is true that the two films "Record of Ghost Scenes" and "Record of Ghost Shadows" may have bloody scenes that affect harmony, but his "Ghost Story" has no problem at all!
There is no blood type at all, and the scale is very average, and it is said to be superstitious...
It's just that my last scene is a little more mysterious.
"Hey... Xiao Liu... can you tell the leaders above that my "Ghost Story" will be rectified, and the mystery in it will be corrected.
All storylines in the letter will be deleted, and there will be no ghosts or other things in it. If possible, I can even insert some positive things..." Xu Lin was anxious and quickly called the relevant departments.
Can he not be in a hurry?
Nearly 4.3 million film investment.
You can’t just say no and it’s gone, right?
"Director Xu...I'm sorry...No..."
"Why? I can't even make the corrections like this?"
"Well, yes, no, I heard that two old men personally criticized your movie. Director Xu, please reflect on it. Some people follow the trend and it is unacceptable..."
"This... I want to know why... why does the old man disagree?"
"Mr. Xu... let me tell you the truth, if this movie was shot by Lu Yuan, there would be no big problem in passing the review. After all, the two old men have a very good impression of Lu Yuan, but... you are not Lu Yuan Far!"
"..."
"Besides, you are not a Hollywood movie... and you are not likely to have the privilege of releasing it..."
Am I not Lu Yuan?
I'm not Lu Yuan!
I am not a Hollywood movie…
Xu Lin's eyes widened, and he suddenly sat down on the chair, and then his whole body was filled with confusion.
Lu Yuan...
Is this Lu Yuan really going to heaven?
When did he have such a good relationship with the two uncles above?
…………………………
"Editor-in-Chief..."
"Oh, it's Xiao Zhou, sit down..."
"I would like to ask why you signed Chen Mingchong's name on the follow-up report of "Record of Ghosts"...it was obviously written by me!"
"Xiao Zhou, you are also an old man in our newspaper office. I have always valued you very much. You are a talent, but I think we should give young people some opportunities, right?"
"I understand giving him a chance, but you can't give him all my hard-earned resources. Editor-in-Chief, this is going too far."
"Xiao Zhou, don't be angry, come on, sit down..."
"Editor-in-Chief, I won't talk about my ideals now. I just want an explanation... After all, I don't want your brother-in-law to rob me of everything... I have worked so hard outside for so long, but in the end I can't get anything." If I don’t give any praise, I will lose all the credit... This is unfair to me!”
"Xiao Zhou, what's your attitude? Are you questioning me?"
"Attitude? Haha, editor-in-chief... I have always had an attitude..."
"Peng!"
"Zhou Shuai! Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know, I know exactly what I'm talking about..."
"you……"
"I quit!"
"Zhou Shuai! You have to think clearly. You have to know who lifted you up. You don't even understand the most basic gratitude? What happened if I took away a little of your resources? In the future, you will still have a lot of resources.
Lots of them!”
"Haha, I naturally know who the person who praises me is, who has always taken care of me, who will find a way to contact me as soon as he has resources, and this person is not you Liu Yong!"
"Who is he! Have you been bribed?"
"Buy? Haha, he is much greater and more sincere than you, Liu Yong! I've had enough of your hypocrisy!"
"Zhou Shuai! I won't argue with you because you are young and energetic, but I warn you, you will be nothing if you leave here!"
"Crack!"
"Someone once said to me, thirty years to the east of Hedong, thirty years to the west of Hexi! I will give this sentence to you now!"
"What do you mean!"
"It's not interesting, can't you tell? I'm going to quit!"
"Peng!"
Zhou Shuai suddenly threw the camera to the ground and tore the company label hanging on his body into pieces.
"you……"
"Please spend time with your brother-in-law, I've had enough!"
Zhou Shuai slammed the door shut.
Lock it down hard!
"..."
…………………………
Lu Yuan doesn't pay much attention to what happens in the entertainment industry.
He is a layman.
He only cares about the money in his pocket.
He only cares about box office.
Of course, the daily box office of "Ghost Story" surprises Lu Yuan. Apart from the necessary study and filming, Lu Yuan basically looks at the box office data happily every day.
He was very happy. After seeing the box office continuously breaking the previous day's record, Lu Yuan had a hunch that his pockets would be bulging again.
This is very comfortable.
These days, every day in his dreams, he feels that he is swimming in the ocean of money, happily enjoying endless joy and fun.
