Andrew watched Lu Yuan's interview over and over again predicting the box office of "Star Wars".
The box office numbers for "Star Wars" haven't come out yet.
Of course, the box office numbers for other movies haven't come out either, and as usual, the box office numbers for these movies have been slightly delayed.
But Andrew felt restless.
Although what happens with "Star Wars" has no impact on their company, Lorraine's "Anthropocene" was co-produced by Century Company and Cobia Company at the same time!
If "Star Wars" really surpasses "Titans", then Lorraine will fall from the altar!
He will no longer be the number one in science fiction films!
And Thomson will ascend to the throne of science fiction, surpassing Lorraine!
Then……
The old king abdicated and the new king ascended the throne!
This in itself is an extremely exciting thing.
It will be a strong mark in the entire history of science fiction films!
No one cares what era "Titans" is a movie from, and no one thinks the underlying reason why "Star Wars" surpasses "Titans"...
People only care about records!
Then, a rising tide lifts all boats, which is equivalent to Lu Yuan winning again invisibly.
"Titanic" surpasses "Anthropocene"...
And if Star Wars surpasses Titans then...
A complete failure!
Yes, not to mention Lorraine, even Andrew felt like a complete failure.
One glory and all glory.
This makes perfect sense.
Open the window and look at the dim lights of Hollywood in the distance.
A gust of wind blew, and Andrew suddenly wrapped himself in clothes.
The wind in the early morning of November was a bit cool, and the coolness was even biting.
"I hope this doesn't happen!"
Andrew took a deep breath and began to pray silently in his heart.
He has always been very confident, but today he can no longer maintain that confidence.
After all, Lu Yuan is behind "Star Wars"!
Lu Yuan dared to say these words to the media all over the world, which shows that Lu Yuan definitely has enough confidence!
A person’s name!
The shadow of the tree!
"Dong dong dong!"
"Come in!"
When there was a knock on the door, Andrew's heart twitched involuntarily, and then he sat down and tried to keep calm.
"Mr. Andrew, come out..." The assistant carefully brought the information over, not daring to look at Andrew's eyes the whole time.
When Andrew saw the assistant's expression, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Then, he took over the information.
Then, when he saw the 37 million dollars for "Star Wars", he was in disbelief, as if everything around him had no sound at all...
"He...this..."
He found himself unable to say anything.
………………………………
Thirty-seven million!
Crazy data!
The premiere box office completely beat "Titans" and was only $2 million behind "Wars and Roses", which was once Hollywood's No. 1 film.
"boom!"
Luo Lan stared at the data, his eyes bloodshot.
At this moment, he felt like his head was exploding, and he really felt like he was going crazy.
He wanted to say it was impossible!
He couldn't believe it, he thought it was a dream, but in fact it was more real than ever!
"Is it really beyond that?"
After holding it in for a long time, Luo Lan finally said this.
Afterwards, he couldn't react for a long time. He stared at this shocking data from beginning to end. He recalled a series of things that had happened since he entered the industry, a series of setbacks...
However, he found that all the setbacks combined were not worth this moment.
certainly……
This is not a setback, it can only be said to be surpassed!
but……
The feeling of being stepped on and climbed up step by step is really unpleasant.
This is a huge feeling of drop, falling here from the highest place...
How unhappy!
However, in the end, Luo Lan recovered from this huge feeling of discomfort, and then took a deep breath seriously.
"'Star Wars' indeed has the capital to surpass, and as everyone's material level improves, it is normal for the box office to gradually surpass..."
"We must make "Anthropocene" a success and regain the title of No. 1 in science fiction!"
"..."
After experiencing psychological blows and troughs, Lorraine did not regard this incident as a nightmare or a failure!
Rather, it is used as a motivation.
The fire deep in his heart burned instantly, and then he was filled with an unprecedented fighting spirit, as if he was young!
"Wait for me!"
Finally, he stared at Lu Yuan on the screen.
Clenched his fists.
…………………………
We have become cannon fodder!
When the box office data for the opening day came out, Solnit's boss Fred was silent.
"Star Wars" has a box office of 37 million US dollars, while their company's movie "Interstellar Voyage" only had a box office of 10 million US dollars.
A box office of 10 million US dollars is not considered a hit, but it is definitely a profitable movie.
But compared to the craziness of "Star Wars", "Interstellar Voyage" really feels like a foil.
It's as if it comes with it.
At this moment, he regretted it very much. If he had a choice, he really hoped that "Interstellar Voyage" would be postponed for another month, or simply released in the middle of the month!
but……
It's too late now!
but……
This box office data is acceptable, after all, "Venus" is more tragic.
In fact, the most popular film "Venus" was a completely unpopular success. The movie that everyone thought would be a hit directly showed everyone a box office figure of nine million US dollars.
Of course it’s not a rush!
but……
Among fans, and even in the hearts of everyone at Paramount, there is a huge gap.
Smith wants to cry!
As for "Prehistoric Creatures", another film with a weak presence, it only received a mediocre box office figure of 8 million.
…………………………
Thomson becomes a god in one battle!
Hollywood is in shock!
Although Thomson's old employer, Midland, didn't have any movies released at this time, after seeing such horrific data like "Star Wars", they felt that they had suffered unprecedented losses...
They feel they are being treated badly!
However, after being upset for a long time, Midland finally sent a blessing message to Thomson, along with a wave of "remote blessings".
Although the American League was very angry at first when Lu Yuan poached James and Thomson, at this moment they were very generous.
They did not fall out with Lu Yuan, but instead publicly stated that they hoped to have the opportunity to cooperate with "Yuan Yuan" in the future.
After all, the new American League boss Jerry himself felt that Lu Yuan had nothing to do with them.
Everyone competes fairly, and winning or losing is normal.
However, other companies are gritting their teeth in hatred.
Thomson became a god in one battle.
He should have been number one in the world, he should have been treated the same as the former director Lorraine!
However, what is very embarrassing is that what everyone is talking about is not Thomson, but Lu Yuan!
In October, the scourge of Lu Yuan bombarded the whole world. I didn't expect that it was already November and this guy didn't stop and continued to cause trouble!
When will this thing stop?
You've been breaking records all day, aren't you fucking tired?
Would you like to take a break?
This moment...
They have already experienced the feeling of Huaxia Company.
At that time, Lu Yuan was wreaking havoc in China, grabbing all the headlines in China, and making other entertainment companies in China breathless.
And now, or in other words, since Lu Yuan entered Hollywood...
Hollywood just doesn't stop, we are surrounded by this guy's fancy news all day long.
They all vomited, okay?
"This is a scourge. Who can suppress this scourge? I can give him half of the company's shares, and God can bear witness to the authenticity of every word I say today!"
At the meeting in the early morning of November 2, Wilson was so angry that he banged the table.
And his words were also recorded by reporters.
Wilson was indeed furious.
Although even he didn't know why he was angry, but when he saw Lu Yuan's nostrils turned up in the video, he wanted to kill Lu Yuan with a knife!
…………………………
"Thirty-seven million..."
“Exceeded the expected goal.”
"Be good, wuwuwu, little Jianjia, don't cry, don't cry, daddy will give you a hug..."
"..."
After seeing this data and then looking at the rating of "Star Wars" on Tomato, which reached a high score of 9.6, Lu Yuan actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he continued to hold little Jianjia and started to coax her.
A complete unprofessional dad.
In the original world, "Star Wars" was so amazing that it was called a milestone in science fiction films. Lu Yuan was still worried about whether this movie would be able to create brilliance now that the times were different. After all, Hollywood's science fiction films were not bad at all.
Still pretty awesome.
However, when he saw the data and the ratings, he felt that he had not insulted "Star Wars".
certainly……
In fact, Lu Yuan had nothing to do with the success of "Star Wars". He only provided the script and a certain amount of publicity. As for the biggest contributor to the birth of the "Star Wars" movie, it was basically Thomson.
Lu Yuan understands this very well.
Of course, even the script is not Lu Yuan's own...
He just learned from it.
So Lu Yuan doesn't feel proud.
Just after putting Xiao Jianjia to sleep, Lu Yuan's cell phone rang again.
Lu Yuan answered the phone.
It was Thomson who called.
"boss……"
"Congratulations, Thomson!"
"Thank you, boss. Well, originally this was a very happy thing, but suddenly I didn't feel too happy..."
"Why? You're not happy like this? Do you want to go to heaven?"
"Boss, I don't know why. I originally thought that after your promotion and the movie itself created a miracle, I would feel very excited and feel that this was the pinnacle of my life. But now I suddenly find that I am living in a
Inside your shadow... Then, when I reacted, I found that the shadow was even bigger!"
"ah?"
Lu Yuan was dumbfounded.
He never dreamed that Thomson, who was about to become a god when the box office exploded and was about to become a god, would suddenly say these words!
