Time flies so fast and September 20th is here in the blink of an eye.
After September 20th, the temperature began to gradually drop.
The box office war has basically come to an end.
Although "Buried Alive" has exploded in word-of-mouth and popularity, it has inevitably entered a period of decline.
After struggling for more than ten days, the single-day box office of "Buried Alive" finally dropped from tens of millions to nine million, and then slowly fell to eight million, seven million, six million...
This is inevitable.
No matter how popular a movie is, its box office and audience will still be saturated to a certain extent.
Lu Yuan was very popular on the Internet in September, even more so than "Metro Station".
Specialists have calculated the box office and found that the total box office of "Buried Alive" has exceeded 150 million within 20 days of its release, firmly occupying the fourth place in the box office in September.
According to the box office chart, the final box office of "Buried Alive" is set at around 180 million.
Although it did not break 200 million, let alone catch up with the 240 million of the third place "Enemies", "Buried Alive" has become a myth that shocked everyone.
On September 21, the decline of "Buried Alive" was fixed at 4 million, and the number of films scheduled by major theaters also began to decrease appropriately...
Zhang Tong from "Metro Station" suddenly became very depressed!
Obviously, the total box office of his movie "Metro Station" has exceeded 300 million, and it has been promoted a lot, and he is even called one of the "few directors in China who have exceeded 500 million", but somehow he has a way of working for people.
The feeling has several meanings...
Why do you say that?
Because he excitedly went to Venice to win the Best Director Award with "Metro Station", he ended up being a running companion. Instead, Lu Yuan, a guy who originally thought he was just going to win the soy sauce, gained a sense of presence...
The more popular "Metro Station" becomes, the more popular Lu Yuan becomes. Even if "Metro Station" becomes a figure in Chinese film history in the future, Lu Yuan will also become one...
After all, "Metro Station" won one award in Venice, the Best Film and Television Song Award...
When people search for the award-winning record of "Metro Station", can Lu Yuan still become a mosaic and block it?
This is naturally impossible.
so……
Damn it, I worked so hard to make a movie and planned it with all kinds of planning, and it became the box office champion in September. It seems that I worked completely for this guy Lu Yuan.
After Zhang Tong read the news, his heart was shocked and he fainted on the spot.
Lu Yuan, Lu Manzi, Lu Ergouzi, sausage, Lu Yuan smiles, Alice...
These words became the hot search words in the browser, and stayed on the browser for two days. Two days later, the popularity was occupied by "Metro Station", which broke the box office record.
The box office explosion and award-winning events of "Buried Alive" were enough for the name Lu Yuan to be officially known in the Chinese entertainment industry and officially enter the eyes of all entertainment industry executives. Then the name Lu Yuan burst into the entertainment industry for the first time.
On the headlines, Lu Yuan's various emoticons were posted every day on major well-known forums. For a time, even people who didn't know Lu Yuan were brainwashed by Lu Yuan's magical "fake smile".
Zhang Tong closed his eyes. He no longer knew how to describe Lu Yuan, who seemed innocent but was actually a pretentious person deep down...
Lu Yuan is completely on fire!
In addition to Zhang Tong's speechlessness, other artists in the entertainment industry who are eager to become famous overnight are jealous and sour.
They want to copy Lu Yuan's success.
But how to replicate Lu Yuan’s success?
Can you write songs? Can you arrange music? Can you collect prizes? Can you sing? Can you fake a "magic" smile...
No, you won't.
But Lu Yuan did it all.
This is undoubtedly a despairing thing. It is undoubtedly a feeling of envy when you see someone getting angry.
Of course, there are still a small number of people who feel there is hope.
Lu Yuan's great success made some small directors' eyes light up. They imitated Lu Yuandong and scraped together a million dollars of investment to start making some literary films that they thought would become hits. They were confident enough to keep an eye on the box office rankings every day.
, dreaming that like Lu Yuan, he could make a big fortune with his small skills, and then reach the pinnacle of his life.
However, Lu Yuan is Lu Yuan after all, and some successes cannot be replicated at all...
They spent twenty days and shot dozens of low-budget movies, and even came up with crazy promotional titles such as "Bury Me Alive" and "Bury You Alive". As a result, all the movies were removed from the shelves within a day of their release...
What the hell?
You just plagiarized "Buried Alive", but you couldn't also plagiarize the cheating letter editing in "Buried Alive", right?
And what do you mean by being an actor? You have to have acting skills but no acting skills, you have to have plot but no drama, you even have to be messy and stupid...
The audience is not stupid...
Therefore, the popularity of "Buried Alive" has indirectly led to the probability that China will produce bad domestic films dozens of times more than in previous years...
This really makes people speechless.
……………………
What makes Lu Yuan most happy in September is not that he became popular on the Internet, but that the money is in place!
After excluding the messy commissions and the commissions from Fatty Wei and the rest of the crew, Lu Yuan can get a total commission of nearly 9.4 million.
Nine million and four hundred thousand!
This is a number that Lu Yuan never dared to think of before!
Although Lu Yuan seemed very calm on the surface, when he went to the bathroom alone, Lu Yuan still smiled from ear to ear in front of the mirror. He even pinched his face every day when he got up. The painful feeling constantly reminded Lu Yuan
Yuan is not dreaming.
It's true, it's true!
Everything is true!
I've made a lot of money!
I am a rich man!
I will never have to worry about anything in my life.
After that, Lu Yuan changed his old stingy demeanor and bought himself an authentic "Newbuck" suit worth tens of thousands, a pair of glasses worth several thousand, changed his mobile phone, and bought a computer...
Lu Yuan felt that he was lost and even did many things that he had wanted to do but had no money...
By the way, Lu Yuan spent four million to buy a two-story store east of Hengdian and found a relatively reliable decoration company to prepare to officially start his own hotel project.
After opening the restaurant, and with the help of celebrities to promote it, the business will definitely boom. Opening a branch in the future will not be a problem at all. From now on, I will just wait and collect the money.
The future is bright!
Thinking about it this way, Lu Yuan felt that even if he fell a little, he would still be a winner in life!
but……
But the rest of the people at "Remote" Entertainment excitedly pulled Lu Yuan to start the next step of planning, not giving Lu Yuan a chance to fall.
September 28th.
"Remote" entertainment.
Several key members of the company gathered around a table and held the first keynote meeting very seriously.
Participants include executive director Wei Wuji, royal actor Lu Yihong, crew manager Li Qing, screenwriter and handyman Qian Zhong...
Of course, there is also Lu Yuan, the eldest brother they consider to be the leader.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs...
"Ayuan, I think the filming plan for "Wanderer" can be started."
Under the light, Fatty Wei handed the plan to Lu Yuan in a decent manner and began to talk about the shooting plan for the next movie very seriously.
"Well, the investment budget is five million?" When Lu Yuan saw this number, although he pretended to be very calm on the surface, he was already panicking in his heart.
Why are you investing so hard?
"Yes, five million." Fatty Wei's eyes were full of hope, and he analyzed it very seriously: "The last film Buried Alive only had one actor, Lao Lu, and the salary was not very high, so I can afford it, but
There are many actors in this "Wanderer", so the salary and publicity will naturally have to keep up..."
"Oh, okay." Lu Yuan nodded, suddenly having a headache.
This is a sad thing.
This movie will empty out my family fortune again.
"Ayuan, do you think there is anything else that needs to be added?"
"No more...I think the plan is okay."
To be honest, Lu Yuan really wanted to say that he didn't want to make movies anymore and wanted to open a restaurant, but after seeing everyone's faces looking at him with great hope, he finally suppressed this idea.
And he had promised to make this movie, so he felt it was not good to go back on his promise.
What can be done?
Shoot it!
Even if you lose money, it is still within the range that you can accept.
Moreover, the compensation should not be much...
"Oh, what, Ayuan, when will we move the company?" Li Qing sat next to Lu Yuan and suddenly asked this question.
"Moving company? Moving to what company?" Lu Yuan was confused.
"Ayuan, stop pretending. I know you bought a formal store and have found a decoration company to start construction... You are hiding it just to surprise us. I have seen you put it in
The wall drawing next to the bed, well, the wall drawing is designed a bit like a coffee shop, but the rest is pretty good..." Li Qing showed an expression that said you can't fool me.
"What do you know? This is art style, and art style studios are the trend of the future..." Lu Yihong glared at Li Qing and expressed what he thought he knew very well. He felt that he was different.
"Yes, Lao Li, can you please stop acting like a country bumpkin who has never seen the world?"
Fatty Wei was drinking tea with an expression that I had known for a long time. He was calm and not at all nervous.
Very calm.
"..." Lu Yuan opened his mouth and looked at everyone with expectant expressions.
He suddenly felt that he was messy in the wind...
I didn’t buy a house specifically to open a company!
What are you thinking about?
……………………
Half an hour after the meeting ended, Lu Yuan watched everyone leave the company with great enthusiasm. Lu Yuan suddenly let out a long sigh. After all, he still did not tell the truth that he wanted to open a restaurant there.
He thought they would be disappointed.
Finally, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the decoration company's number.
"Hello? Yes, decoration company?"
"I changed my mind, let's change it to office..."
"Yes, office."
"Why did you change your mind? It's not like I won't pay you, just change it."
After making the call, Lu Yuan looked at the empty room again and calculated his savings...
In total, I only have about 800,000 yuan left to use, which is the share of the "Invisible Wings" album and other deposits...
It is still necessary to open a takeaway shop. It would be a waste to put such a good publicity resource if it is not used!
If something goes wrong with the movie, I can concentrate on my catering business.
After all, who doesn’t have a backup plan?
He was silent for a while, then he dialed a number again.
"Dad...are there any places in my hometown for rent or sale recently? Preferably within 700,000 yuan."
"Yes, yes, the facade, yes, by the way, help me find a chef with better skills..."
"Well, you prepare first. I plan to come back in two months..."
