When it came to November 15th, Hollywood's "The Ghost Story" was completely crazy.
The highest single-day box office even reached four million US dollars.
If the box office of four million is converted into RMB, it would be about 30 million RMB.
This is certainly a feat for anyone.
After completely parting ways with his ex-wife, Forrest was completely rejuvenated. He was dressed spotlessly when he returned to the company every day, and his hair was combed into a bun. He looked extremely confident.
Although the box office of "The Ghost Story" is really nothing in Hollywood, it is undoubtedly a huge feat in Hollywood horror movies!
In China, "The Ghost Story" broke the box office record for horror films. In the United States, "The Ghost Story" also broke the daily box office record for horror films, the record for the smallest investment and the largest return of the same type, and the first novel script of the same type.
Photography record...
Some eye-catching media even went so far as to call "The Ghost Story" a stepping stone for the revival of Hollywood horror films. The light and limelight have completely overshadowed director Nicole's "October 33rd" and became this horror film.
The most popular horror movie of the year...
Judging from the box office trend and the daily box office in various major regions, this "Ghost Story" is very likely to have a total global box office of over 80 million US dollars!
Eighty million dollars!
This is a completely shocking number!
Overnight, Forrest shined brightly, and even his "Huaxin" brother company, which was about to close down, has now been faintly rejuvenated. Countless reporters and media are looking forward to doing an exclusive media interview with Forrest.
Just as the movie gives everyone a sense of mystery, the birth and records of "Ghost Chronicles" all demonstrate its sense of mystery.
This is a movie that became a hit without relying on publicity at all.
This is a film in which the director is a failure, both actors are newcomers, and the investment is too little.
But at the same time...
This is a terrible movie that works wonders at the box office!
This huge contrast means that there are countless breaking points and news in Hollywood itself. All media reporters feel a hot spot that is so hot that it is irresistible, and they are swarming to get the first hand information and news.
While many people are paying attention to the hot spots of "The Ghost Story", director James also suddenly stood up at this time.
More than a month after the filming of "California Nights" ended, he held a press conference.
At the press conference, he announced that Paramount will spend US$20 million to shoot a gay-themed movie "Brokeback Mountain," which will be set in a mountain range in the United States with deep snow in winter.
After seeing this scene, movie fans immediately started an uproar, and even the Hollywood movie circle was talking about it.
After the press conference, everyone in the film industry was discussing James' sudden transformation.
All kinds of news are coming out one after another.
Some people say that James has gone astray, some say that James is crazy, some say that James has been completely immersed in this weird world and can no longer extricate himself...
In short, the chaotic discussion was like a wave, one wave rising to the other, completely suppressing the news about "Ghost Chronicles" and Forrest.
After all, no matter how popular Furis is now, he is completely incomparable to James.
There is a complete gap in terms of popularity and popularity.
but……
Just after the popularity of "The Ghost Story" weakened and was completely dominated by James' "Brokeback Mountain", the media suddenly discovered a very strange detail!
What problem?
The screenwriter of "Record of Ghosts" is Eleven...
The screenwriter of "Brokeback Mountain" is also Eleven!
They were instantly excited!
eleven!
Who is this person?
If it was a new screenwriter, how could he possibly collaborate with a well-known Hollywood director like James?
But if he is not a new screenwriter, then...
Why does he have no information at all in the United States, and even his whereabouts are so secretive?
even……
No one knows whether this person is a boy or a girl!
The moment they felt this detail, all the media were instantly excited!
Director James smiled inexplicably when he saw that Eleven as a screenwriter suddenly became popular.
…………………………
Hollywood nights are noisy.
Amidst the hustle and bustle there is a sense of indescribable tranquility.
In the coffee shop, James and Jenny sat silently looking at Forrest opposite.
This is the first time the two parties have met.
When Forrest met James, he was very nervous and excited at first.
After all, a person’s name is like a tree’s shadow.
When James became famous, Forrest was still attending film school.
He would never forget that year in his life. He sat on a chair in school and watched with admiration as James stood on the podium and told them, a group of stupid young people, how to make movies.
That year...
James shines!
Perhaps from that day on, Forrest had a desire to make movies, and this desire continued to expand.
Later, he entered the film industry.
Only after entering the film industry and truly understanding the food chain in the Hollywood film industry did he realize how respected James' status is.
There are some things you see in school that you don’t take seriously.
If you have never experienced it, you will never understand this feeling if you only read textbooks.
It is no exaggeration to say that James was and is half of Forrest's idol.
Who is not nervous or excited when meeting an idol?
But Forrest still tried his best to stay calm, and even acted like everyone was chatting on an equal footing.
Because it represents a "Huaxin" company.
In a sense, he represents the face of the big boss Lu Yuan.
He couldn't embarrass Lu Yuan.
"Hollywood is becoming more and more charming."
"Well, yes, it's getting more and more charming."
"Director Forrest, I have to admit that you have created a wave of enthusiasm. I would also like to take advantage of the enthusiasm and topics you have created..."
"No, no, actually, it's not that powerful... I wonder when Mr. James first knew that Mr. Lu Yuan was from Eleven?"
"Haha, I only found out a few days ago."
"Oh? There should be no information about Eleven in Hollywood."
"Yes, indeed not, but..."
"But what?"
""Record of Ghosts" reminds me of "The Man from Earth"... It seems that both of them reveal a very weird similarity..."
"Then you can only guess, right?"
"Yes, I can only guess, but... I made a call to Mr. Lu Yuan yesterday..." When he thought of this, the corner of James's mouth curved, as if he already fully understood something about Fury
What Si doesn’t understand: “We are good friends after all…”
"Then what do you mean..."
"Haha... It doesn't mean anything else. Originally, "Brokeback Mountain" was going to bear the name Lu Yuan, but then I saw that "The Ghost Story" was so popular, I suddenly realized that this was a shortcut for publicity... After all, curiosity
The heart kills the cat. The more mysterious it is, the more it will whet the appetite of the media, right? Director Forest... you understand?"
"I understand, how should we cooperate?"
"Haha, I will send people to release a series of smoke bombs to hype up the identity of Eleven..."
"Then... the hype is over, isn't Mr. Lu Yuan..."
"Of course it can't be exposed. The whole of Hollywood can only be known to you and me. After all, if curiosity is aroused, smoke bombs are set off, and nothing is revealed, then only then will the gimmick be achieved, and only then will the publicity effect be achieved. It will be beneficial to both you and me, right?"
"I understand." Forrest nodded.
At this moment, he looked at James.
He felt the gap between himself and James.
In Chinese terms, Director James can strategize and control everything.
And myself...
The difference is too far, too far.
but……
I will also grow up in the future. After all, I am only in my early thirties, so I am still young, right?
"Then what should I do?" Forrest's eyes gradually became intense.
"What you do is your business. We are two companies after all..."
"I see."
"As long as you understand, happy cooperation!"
"joy."
…………………………………………
It's never peaceful in the entertainment industry.
Every day there are scenes of hot news.
Chen Feng has almost become a Buddhist in the hot headlines in the entertainment industry.
Hype still needs to be hyped, but whether it can make headlines, whether it can gain some popularity or something like that is no longer what Chen Feng cares about.
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment!
His team also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
It stands to reason that Chen Feng is also one of the most representative figures in the rock music scene in the entertainment industry. It stands to reason that Chen Feng's popularity should not be low.
But I don’t know why, it’s like I’ve dropped my head, and I’m always in second place.
A new day's entertainment headlines are out again.
There is no suspense or even any surprise. This headline is not Chen Feng’s!
"Liu Yong, the editor-in-chief of "China Peripheral Entertainment News", stole the fruits of other people's work without authorization to support his brother-in-law. He is simply shameless. I have received countless unfair treatment in the newspaper..."
"Haha, you want to fly before your wings are hardened? Zhou Shuai, ask your conscience, has our "China Peripheral Entertainment News" ever treated you badly? Unfair? Haha, our "China Peripheral Entertainment News" has never treated you badly.
It's not unfair to anyone... You want to start your own business? Tsk tsk
, in this case, why do you have to speak so grandly! Zhou Shuai, let me tell you again, you left "China Peripheral Entertainment News", you Zhou Shuai are nothing! If you can recognize yourself clearly and come back, our "
China Peripheral Entertainment News will let bygones be bygones!"
"Come back? Tsk tsk, come back and continue to be squeezed by you?"
When Lu Yuan was out of the headlines, it was replaced by Zhou Shuai's resignation, causing drama with his old club.
Zhou Shuai was considered an ordinary paparazzi a year ago. Although he was somewhat famous, he was still a fringe figure.
However, in this year, with the rise of Lu Yuan, Zhou Shuai gradually became a big paparazzi in the entertainment industry.
Zhou Shuai has many resources that other entertainment reporters cannot get. Many reporters who write stories cannot tell the story through pictures, but Zhou Shuai has countless pictures and stories that attract everyone's attention.
Even Zhou Shuai’s Weibo has more than 500,000 fans!
As for the China Peripheral Newspaper, it has always been among the top ten among the major entertainment newspapers in China...
There is always enough information.
Every day, a group of people pay attention to the headlines of the entertainment industry and the private messages of some celebrities.
This has become the norm.
but……
Zhou Shuai suddenly started a quarrel with the "China Peripheral Entertainment News" and even exposed many injustices of the newspaper and wanted to start his own business!
At this moment, the Internet suddenly became exciting.
Many people questioned Zhou Shuai. Many relatives and friends in the circle advised Zhou Shuai to lower his head a little and stop being young and energetic...
However, Zhou Shuai smiled coldly.
"Am I still a young man if I'm not angry?"
Suddenly the circle exploded!
…………………………
After filming, Lu Yuan returned to the office.
Just when I was about to take a rest, Wu Tingting knocked on the door and came in.
"Mr. Lu... Zhou Shuai's matter is getting bigger and bigger..."
"matter?"
"Well, Mr. Lu, you have been busy filming for the past two days, so you don't know that Zhou Shuai has completely lost his mind... Mr. Lu, this is news..."
"Well, let me take a look." Lu Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at the news. After watching it for a while, he laughed, "This guy is quite powerful. He is indeed a paparazzi. He grasped this hot spot with great vigor..."
"Mr. Lu, what do you think?"
"Very good... By the way, I'll give Zhou Shuai a call."
