Chapter 828: The sympathetic Lu Yuan? Four thousand words!)
It's late at night.
Lu Yuan was lying on the bed alone, falling into an indescribable state of insomnia again.
He felt that the distance at this moment was like a wild horse that had broken free from its shackles and could not be controlled, rushing towards an unknown place.
He has no idea whether the future will be an abyss or a bright one.
In fact, Fatty Wei's plan was huge and shocking, and even outlined all the plans for "remote" entertainment in the next ten years. Behind every plan, there is a plan to make up for failure. When explaining to Lu Yuan
, the whole person is like a dedicated dog-headed military counselor.
"Director Wei, have you been preparing this plan for a long time?"
"It didn't take long, I just thought about it when I had free time..."
"Not long is how long..."
"It will only take about two years. Of course, these plans are being adjusted. There can be a variable at any time. I even asked Da Liu to help me get a variable formula. In the variable plan..."
"..."
When Lu Yuan thought of Fatty Wei's eloquent voice and his expression describing the data in professional terms, Lu Yuan felt horrified.
He thought again of the time when he first met Fatty Wei.
At that time, Fatty Wei seemed to have ambitions. Of course, at that time, his ambitions were still very simple.
He just wants to overpower Shen Lianjie and become China's new director. At the same time, he hopes that "Remote" can become one of China's three major entertainment companies...
At that time, these were the stars and the sea in Fatty Wei's heart.
However, as the goal got closer step by step, Fatty Wei's ambition changed again.
he……
Want all of Hollywood.
wrong!
He wants "remote" entertainment to become the world's number one entertainment company!
The crazy and surging ambition made Lu Yuan feel a little uneasy. In fact, he had never thought about this in his life.
However, when he remembered that even if the "remote" entertainment system collapsed, he would not starve to death, his uneasiness disappeared...
or……
Give it a try!
At least, I still have a way out!
…………………………………………
The box office of "Rocky" reached an inflection point on its fourth day.
The box office started to drop a little, but even though it started to drop a little, the box office still maintained a box office pace of 4.5 million US dollars. As for the box office in China, it was almost stable at around 32 million US dollars.
Everyone thinks this data is amazing, even several big companies in Hollywood have to lament that Lu Yuan is really evil.
He abruptly took a movie starring a gangster to such incredible heights.
Compared with the gradual glory of "Rocky", "American 1900" is full of great regrets.
On July 19th, the film schedule of "United States 1900" began to decrease crazily in major theater chains. By the evening of July 19th, all theaters in Hollywood and all theaters in China were cancelled.
this movie.
After all, why should a movie with poor reputation and poor box office be released?
Everyone is a businessman, and what businessmen value most is profit.
Everyone likes to play movies like "Rocky", but what do you mean by "American 1900"?
Even if your movie is Bob's and the market doesn't buy it, there's nothing we can do about it, right?
We gave you three hours of playback, and in fact we have done our best.
Anyway...
While the major media boasted about "Rocky", they also subconsciously disparaged "United States 1900".
Whether it's Hollywood or Chinese media, there are endless headlines like "The gangster beat up the best actor and the best actress, Forrest beat up Bob, the legend fell, and the new king was born..." There are endless headlines like this. Don't be too excited.
Just at this time.
Gobia issued a statement.
"As of yesterday, the full copyright of "America 1900" has been reluctantly sold to Mr. Lu Yuan for US$7 million. In the future, everything about "America 1900" will have nothing to do with Gobia. I hope Mr. Lu Yuan can cherish this movie.
"America 1900", after all, is very likely to be the last work directed by Bob... Maybe it doesn't mean much now, but in the future, it may be a rare classic..."
…………………………
"???"
"?"
"What operation is this?"
"Is this fake news? No, Gobia Company officials have announced this..."
"God, what's going on, can you tell me why?"
"The entire copyright of this lousy movie "United States 1900" was sold to Lu Yuan? What does this mean? When "Rocky" became a hit, Lu Yuan suddenly bought someone else's lousy movie "United States 1900"? Please tell me
, what does this mean?”
"Yeah, what does this mean...I don't understand it either. Lu Yuan has always been very shrewd, right? Why would he make such a stupid move now?"
"ah?"
"Don't ask me, I don't understand either..."
"Is Lu Yuan a fool?"
"..."
"..."
July 20th.
All the media in the United States were stunned after seeing this scene.
No matter how big their brains are, they never imagined that Lu Yuan would actually buy "United States 1900" and buy the full copyright when "Rocky" defeated "American 1900" and was about to become a god, and spent a lot of money.
Seven million dollars!
What is the concept of seven million dollars?
Fifty million yuan!
There is really no problem in spending 50 million yuan to buy a good movie like "Rocky".
But what is "America 1900"?
It was a movie that was released for only three days and received bad reviews and box office reviews. The theaters chased the movie away like mice droppings.
Although it is a movie directed by Bob!
But, does this make sense?
Could it be that he bought it and kept it as a treasure, saying that this movie was director Bob's misfortune and could be used as a bad movie heirloom in the future?
Are you kidding? What kind of brain circuit is this?
How could a genius like Lu Yuan do this?
On the morning of July 20th.
Bob, who has never appeared in the public media, appeared in the public media with an angry expression.
"Mr. Lu Yuan is a respectable person, but Mr. Wilson, to be honest at this moment, I am very disappointed with Mr. Wilson's behavior. Starting today, I announce that I will no longer cooperate with Mr. Wilson!
"
"This is an impetuous world. Yes, this world makes me somewhat disappointed!"
"..."
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Bob's words immediately plunged all the media into various speculations.
What exactly does Bob mean?
What did Wilson do? Wasn’t Lu Yuan the one who bought the $7 million deal? Or was Lu Yuan forced to buy the movie out of desperation?
So, what kind of story does Wilson have with Lu Yuan? Is he threatening Lu Yuan?
That's not right. Lu Yuan is almost playing his own game in Hollywood, and now that "Rocky" is a hit at the box office, it should be a time of success. Why is he being threatened?
Just when all the media and all movie fans were confused, another revelation came out.
This revelation was made by Bob's son, David, a famous Hollywood producer.
"My father has suffered injustice. Two days ago, Director Wei Wuji came to our house to talk to my father about dreams and the future, and also talked about "American 1900." Director Wei felt very sorry. He told my father,
In fact, Mr. Lu Yuan saw from the messy editing of "America 1900" that this movie does not have such
So bad, so he chose to go to Cobia in the hope of getting the screening rights. He wanted to prove his vision and prove that the full version of the movie was actually not that bad and could even become a classic. However, Wilson was
At that time, we asked Mr. Lu Yuan for a high price... We thought Mr. Lu Yuan would not buy it, but he really bought it!"
"My father was very touched, but he was also very angry. What moved him was that Lu Yuan resolutely chose to believe in his father when "The United States 1900" was at its lowest point. What made him angry was that Mr. Wilson's operation was almost adding insult to injury and only pursuing profit.
…”
"..."
When David broke the news, all Hollywood fans suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of emotion.
Lu Yuan's paranoid and stubborn image rose instantly!
Even the black fans in China who had been scolding Lu Yuan were infected after seeing this news.
after all……
"America 1900" Lu Yuan still spent money to buy this movie during this low period, and tried his best to prove the value of this movie. What a great contribution this must be!
This first move inexplicably attracted a wave of fans for Lu Yuan, and even made the reputation of "Yuan Yuan" rise sharply.
…………………………
After Wilson saw this scene, he was immediately furious.
Although Bob is a director he respects very much, after the failure of "United States 1900", Bob's value is no longer so high. If he really wants to leave, he can leave. He may not make another movie anyway.
But what do you mean by suddenly jumping out and scolding me at this time?
Moreover, what does the current rhythm of the entire media in Hollywood mean?
Wilson's chest kept rising and falling, he hesitated for a moment, then shook his head resolutely.
"Mr. Lu Yuan, I'm sorry!"
After saying this sentence as if talking to himself, Wilson announced another piece of news that he believed to be the most true!
"I have never forced Mr. Lu Yuan into anything. In fact, Mr. Lu Yuan came to me on his own initiative. He took the initiative to seek my cooperation. The reason for the shared lease is also very simple, that is, he is in the Michaels Cinemas in the United States.
Profits have been declining recently. He hopes to cooperate with me, and it’s so great.
In the Hollywood company, I think he is very wise. The price of 7 million to buy "American 1900" was also proposed by Mr. Lu Yuan himself. I saw that Mr. Lu Yuan really liked this "American 1900", so I used Huaxia
The idiom describes "going with the flow" and selling it to him..."
After Wilson's news was announced.
Suddenly...
Everything is revealed!
All the media suddenly began to sympathize with Lu Yuan...
They saw one thing from this news, that is, Lu Yuan, who had always been strong in Hollywood, actually chose to bow his head at this moment.
That’s right!
after all……
No matter how much the box office of "Rocky" soars, it can't stop the profit of Migos Cinemas from declining...
The most direct channel for Chinese movies to be screened in the United States is Lu Yuan's Mikos movies. Since May, the box office of Chinese movies at Mikos has been terrible. On the contrary, all Hollywood movies in the United States have sold well at the box office, and other theaters have made a lot of money.
The bowl is full.
This contrast is actually quite unacceptable.
In such a situation, what can Lu Yuan do?
He can only choose to bow his head!
Yes.
Everyone felt an indescribable sense of helplessness...
………………………………
"We are holding back Ergouzi..."
"Yes, our Chinese movies are given to Ergouzi..."
"Hey, I don't know why, I feel so bad."
"Yeah, I feel bad too. Ergouzi wholeheartedly wants Chinese movies to be broadcast in the United States, but our own movies are really disappointing!"
"yes……"
"..."
China.
When all movie fans see this news, when everyone learns about the situation of Michaels Cinemas in Hollywood...
Everyone feels sad.
As for several top directors in China, after seeing this scene, they began to choose silence.
They had scolded Lu Yuan, they had despised him, they had also...
But now, they are truly aware of the difficulties and sadness Lu Yuan faces in Hollywood.
Yes!
Although Lu Yuan is very awesome on his own, he has so many people behind him!
It’s just that we don’t know how to be grateful. We even often use words to attack Lu Yuan in public...
this……
They suddenly realized a sense of shame. In addition to the sense of shame, there was also a strong sense of unwillingness!
yes!
Who is willing to hold someone back?
…………………………
"Remote" entertainment.
Lu Yuan felt nothing.
At this moment, he is silently looking at the film schedule for tomorrow's "United States 1900".
Yes!
He plans to release the complete version of "American 1900" tomorrow, divided into two parts!
Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction after reading the schedule.
He showed a smile.
In fact, he doesn't know where this "American 1900" will go.
He only knows.
This "American 1900" will definitely not lose money!
…………………………
"Did he really temporarily withdraw Chinese films and replace them all with "American 1900"?"
"yes!"
"It seems that he still wants to struggle..."
"Mr. Wilson, I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling."
"What?"
"Tell me, will this movie..."
"What do you think?"
"I have no idea."
"Won't!"
In the office, Wilson shook his head.
In fact, at this moment, he suddenly began to sympathize with Lu Yuan.
