Chapter 68 I always feel that there is someone behind the scenes (three thousand words!)
September 3rd was a slightly rainy day.
After having breakfast, Fatty Wei stared at the box office reports on the Internet with a sense of joy and excitement.
Of course, he was not happy because of the box office of "Buried Alive". After all, the box office the next day was also four million, which was no change from yesterday. If there were no accidents, four million a day was already the limit of the box office of "Buried Alive".
After all, there is only one theater chain, and the top box office is only this.
What makes Fatty Wei happy is that the box office of "Capital" did not rise like other movies, but dropped by three million, and the next day the box office was only seven million.
Seven million, although it is still an insurmountable mountain for "Buried Alive", but for "Capital" which invested 30 million...
Are you kidding me?
The box office on the first day was 10 million, and the box office on the second day was 7 million. So what was the box office on the third day?
There are more and more others, but you are less and less...
You are so excited, little brother.
Fatty Wei looked at the online pre-sale tickets and the bustling seats, and was so happy that he laughed like a pig.
Comfortable.
"Brother Wei, can we take pleasure in others' misfortunes like this?"
"What do you know? I have a grudge against him."
"Oh, what grudge?"
"When you take away your wife...you know there are some things you shouldn't ask?"
"Oh oh oh."
In the office of "Remote" Entertainment Company, Qian Zhong subconsciously looked at the top of Fatty Wei's head and suddenly felt that his top was green.
But after seeing the unkind look in Fatty Wei's eyes, he finally didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Everyone has a long river of past that is unbearable to look back on. Only by stepping through this long river can people grow.
Fatty Wei seems to have grown up.
Qian Zhong suddenly thought of this sentence.
"What are you two arguing about?" Lu Yuan came out of the bathroom after brushing his teeth and yawned slightly.
He has stayed in the company for the past two days and has not gone out, and his mobile phone has been turned off.
His mood has been gloomy for the past two days.
Internet trolls are very powerful. As soon as Lu Yuan turns on his phone, three or four headline ads will pop up. Among these three or four headline ads, there must be one trolling Lu Yuan...
There are all kinds of trolls, and they are very good at spreading rumors. Every day, you can see a few fans asking Lu Yuan to get out of the director circle, saying that Lu Yuan ruined Chinese movies and made a bad start!
Lu Yuan felt bad looking at the thieves!
I just stole 210,000 yuan. Is it as serious as you say?
Crazy!
Lu Yuan originally wanted to clarify it on Weibo or something, but when he thought about it, what would he clarify?
Could it be that saying that he embezzled only 210,000 yuan did not embezzle 800,000 yuan?
Hold the grass!
Isn’t this a slap in the face?
"No...Ayuan, good news, the box office of "Capital" the next day was only 7 million!"
"Seven million? It dropped so fast? Ten million on the first day, seven million on the second day? It didn't rise but fell?"
"Hahahaha, of course, if you don't believe it, look at it, Shen Lianjie and "Capital" are being trolled as dogs on the Internet."
"oh?"
Lu Yuan took the mobile phone from Fatty Wei. After seeing the comments on the forum, his unhappy mood suddenly improved.
"Trash director, did you eat all the 30 million?"
"What the hell is this? What the hell is this!"
"Trash, trash, what on earth are you doing?"
"Did you eat S? Damn it!"
"Shen Lianjie, do you really want to destroy Chinese movies? Thirty million dollars to make this kind of shit? Boycott, we won't watch any of your movies in the future..."
"..."
When Lu Yuan saw "You want to know how to ruin Chinese movies", he suddenly laughed.
Is that all there is to the point of being trolled?
The trolls stand on the highest moral ground and put the righteous label of Chinese movies on people's heads, constantly criticizing...
At this moment, he suddenly felt that he and Shen Lianjie were like brothers!
Wait, no, Shen Lianjie seems to have been sprayed harder!
Humans are such strange animals. When we see people who are worse off than ourselves, we feel happy no matter how unhappy we are.
"Fat Wei, have a cigarette!"
"Didn't you say you quit smoking?"
"I quit smoking for two days..."
"Can two days of abstinence count as abstinence? I can't give it to you. Didn't you ask me to supervise you before?"
"Two days of abstinence is enough! You are tired after two days of supervision... Seeing that you have worked so hard at the box office these two days, why don't you be less tired?"
"That makes sense, Xiao Zhong, go buy a cigarette and come over..."
"Am I going to buy it again?"
"Nonsense, if you don't go, who will? Didn't you hear Ayuan say that I'm too tired these two days? I need to rest, can I go buy something?"
"That money..."
"What kind of money are we talking about? What kind of relationship do we have? It's too foreign. You should go quickly."
"..."
Looking at the direction Qian Zhong left in silence, Lu Yuan frowned and stared at Fatty Wei.
"I think you are a bit shameless."
"Ayuan, you are not a good bird either."
"Who said that, you and I are not the same kind of people..."
"Yes, you are indeed not the same type of person. You are a very bad person. At least I can't think of such a bad idea as throwing firecrackers into someone's car!"
"Actually, I am a simple person." Lu Yuan sighed and looked at the window, looking a little sad. "It is life that has made me less simple..."
"Pooh!"
The more Fatty Wei looked at Lu Yuan, the more disgusting he felt. He spat hard. He was about to smoke a cigarette and continue to think about the filming progress of "The Wanderer" when the door of the company opened and Qian Zhong left and came back. Empty.
"Where's the cigarette?"
"It seems like we have a guest..."
"Guest? What guest?"
Fatty Wei subconsciously looked at the door, but saw three or four cars parked at the door, and at the same time several familiar people walked over with eager smiles.
Fatty Wei was stunned when he looked at these people.
Liu Mingrui, vice president of Tianqin Cinemas, and Li Cong, son of Wanjia CEO?
Also, Lu Yuan’s rich second-generation girlfriend?
It's not surprising that Lu Yuan's rich second-generation girlfriend came, but what does it mean for the other two people to come?
Fatty Wei narrowed his eyes.
Lu Yuan stretched and showed a faint smile. After combining the popularity on the Internet and the guidance of the trolls, Lu Yuan suddenly understood.
Are you here?
…………………………
Liu Mingrui and Li Cong originally thought that Wang Jinxue, the investor, could decide everything, so they approached Wang Jinxue to discuss the screening from the beginning.
They all said good things to make their mouths fly, but they didn't expect Wang Jinxue to say that she couldn't decide and wanted to ask Lu Yuan.
Who is Lu Yuan?
Just a little-known director...
On weekdays, birds don’t even fly.
But at this time, they could only follow Wang Jinxue to find Lu Yuan.
Meet this little director.
They were quite speechless when they saw this "remote" entertainment company.
This company is really...
It's so crude, no wonder the prologue of "Buried Alive" was shot like that...
They met Lu Yuan.
They thought that Lu Yuan would be very respectful and even enthusiastic when he saw them.
As a result, Lu Manzi was indeed as barbaric as the legend said.
There are only two options!
Either cooperate or get out!
He didn't even give them a second way, or even discuss it.
And from the beginning to the end, Wang Jinxue stood beside Lu Yuan without saying a word. The aura that should have been very strong seemed to have subsided at this moment...
It seemed that she had become Lu Yuan's assistant.
"Be a good person, so we can meet each other easily in the future. If your share is so high, we can't make much money. Even the famous director's asking price is just this!"
"See you later."
"..."
"Can't negotiate?"
"See you later, Fatty Wei, the tea is getting cold..."
"Less, your 41 is too harsh, and you didn't give us the authorization first. At most, it's the same as Tianhe..."
"See you later." Lu Yuan smiled politely, stood up and shook his head.
"Okay! Damn it, 41 is 41, bastard!"
Li Cong's face was ashen and he was sweating profusely, but there was nothing he could do about Lu Yuan, a bastard.
This person is so rude. In such a hot weather, why don’t you turn on the air conditioner?
Liu Mingrui was speechless while looking at the tea.
Even the tea we were given tasted bad!
They all suspected that the tea was expired!
Li Cong and Liu Mingrui left just as quickly as they came.
The purpose of their visit was to sign the screening rights for "Buried Alive".
I was very depressed when I left.
Although they obtained the screening rights, the high share price left them speechless.
"Haha, your men are all a bunch of blind people! Now you have signed a high commission, are you satisfied?"
"The same goes for your men?"
"Let's wait and see who has the highest box office!"
"Yes, let's wait and see! Haha! The box office competition has just begun!"
"hehe!"
……………………
"I can't tell, you are quite capable of doing business." Wang Jinxue suddenly looked at Lu Yuan after the two left.
"Not bad." Lu Yuan nodded slightly.
He doesn't understand business or not, but he just wants to vent his anger...
Who told these two theater chains to let them run away and break their legs without pampering them?
Now?
Feeling good now!
This breath feels so good!
"Why have you shut down your phone these days?"
"The mobile phone is not very easy to use. There is often no signal."
"Do you think I will believe your lies?"
"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do..."
"The box office war in September has officially begun, you have to prepare a little bit..."
"What are you preparing for? Didn't you start a long time ago?"
"No, after "Buried Alive" joins the battlefield, the box office war has officially begun..." Wang Jinxue glanced at Lu Yuan lightly, her beautiful eyes filled with meaning, "Did you expect that they would come to find you?"
"Didn't expect that."
"oh?"
"I have a question..." Lu Yuan suddenly stared at Wang Jinxue.
"Do the trolls trolling Wanjia and Tianqin Cinema on the Internet have anything to do with you?"
"Why do you ask that?" Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan, her eyes still light.
"No...I always feel like there is a person behind the scenes controlling all this...it's weird."
"Aren't you the person standing behind the scenes?" Wang Jinxue suddenly laughed, her smile was beautiful and brilliant.
"It's not me..." Lu Yuan shook his head.
"Oh, it all seems to be a coincidence."
"Yeah?"
"What do you think?"
"Haha, it must be a coincidence." Lu Yuan also nodded and looked outside the room.
