In fact, although the birth of "Death Comes 2" caused some companies' performance to decline and their business to hit new lows, some companies' performance hit a record high, and their products were immediately out of stock, leaving their staff extremely busy.
for example……
Teford Motors.
According to incomplete statistics, Teford Motors has sold more than 2,000 vehicles internationally in just a few days. Most customers named the A-class series of cars that they want most, followed by others that have different appearances.
All the cars in the unsalable series have been sold out...
Cleared out!
Teford looked at the performance sheet.
Ha ha!
In a few days, he completed the work that usually takes a quarter, and the profit is far more than ten times the investment in movie advertising. Moreover, as long as "Death Comes 2" continues to be played, his sales will continue to go crazy.
rise.
After all, advertising works!
After all, everyone cherishes life, and "Death Comes 2" indirectly blew people away.
In addition to Tefal making a huge profit, Umbrella Insurance Company was also crowded with people coming to buy insurance.
Alvin's face almost twitched with laughter.
As this wave continues, the umbrella company directly hangs up the travelers and beats them, and the stock price rises to a high point!
This feeling of soaring is so refreshing!
"The United States must be compensated for its losses! It must be compensated!"
"Lu Yuan, a Chinese, is a sinner!"
"I will sue Lu Yuan!"
"..."
Host Kvea is like an old troll every day in the media, trolling Lu Yuan and his "Death Comes 2".
At first, there were a lot of people responding, but some high-level officials in the United States responded to this matter with a lot of thunder and little rain. In addition, Kvea was also scolding her in the media, and the heat was rising.
After doing nothing to make their presence felt, these people suddenly felt very cold.
They realized that they had to bear the loss themselves because they were shouting loudly.
Will Lu Yuan lose money?
Can Lu Yuan be sued?
Is it possible to win a lawsuit?
Even if he really wins the lawsuit, even if Lu Yuan really wants to lose money, will the American Film Association let it? Will the entire world film association let it?
One glory and all glory!
Who can not guarantee that their movie will be a hit and not affect reality?
If you lose money if you make a hit movie, then who would make a movie...
This is simply unrealistic!
so……
This group of unlucky guys who followed Kvia and shouted at the platform suddenly realized that they had been deceived.
"We will create a limited edition commemorative car for the "Death Comes 2" movie to celebrate "Death Comes 2" setting a new record for horror films!"
At this time, the pot-bellied Tefu staggered to the media and shamelessly flattered "Death Comes 2", while also gaining a sense of presence and gaining popularity.
Tefu looks a bit arrogant under the camera.
He seemed to tell the whole world that this advertisement for "Death Comes 2" was sponsored by our company!
I have foresight!
I'm awesome.
Many companies noticed that Teful was making a lot of money this time, and they were very happy.
Everyone was so upset, especially when they saw Tefu's arrogant look, everyone wanted to slap him hard.
Envy?
Who wouldn’t be envious!
So, what to do?
Take the banknotes and find Lu Yuan for long-distance cooperation. Didn't "The Truman Show" make a big deal in the past?
Let Lu Yuan play "Death Comes 3" again!
…………………………………………
"Dead Man 2" is extremely popular, surpassing the global box office of US$200 million in just eight days.
This is an amazing data.
At least……
In the field of horror films, "Death Comes 2" is already invincible.
James didn't stop. After taking a week's rest, he immediately started thinking about the script of "Death Comes 3" with the team non-stop.
Of course, "Death Is Coming" and "Death Is Coming 2" basically have a complete script, but the script of "Death Is Coming 3" is quite simple...
In fact, the script Lu Yuan gave James for "Death Is Coming 3" was very simple!
There is only one sentence from beginning to end.
"This time it starts from the amusement park and ends at the subway station... The method of death cannot be serious, it cannot cause aesthetic fatigue to the audience, and it must be close to reality. At the same time, the god of death cannot appear head-on. Just continue with this tone and maintain the suspenseful color. As for
It's up to you how much to invest..."
Then what?
Then no more.
This sentence, which is similar to an exhortation, is the script of "Death Comes 3".
Well, if we really want to say it, the framework of the "Death is Coming" series has been outlined in the first part, and the various hidden endings have also been foreshadowed. The only things that need to be changed are novel and close ones.
The realistic way of death, as well as the changes in the psychological aspects of the structural characters...
Okay, if these are completed, "Death Comes 3" will be OK.
As for the sentence "It's up to you to invest," this sentence undoubtedly directly gives James huge power.
How much investment is appropriate?
Confused!
So many advertisers came to "Death Comes 3", all hoping to place an advertisement on "Death Comes 3"...
The total adds up to well over 200 million US dollars.
All right!
No doubt about it…
"Death Comes 3" is another movie that made money before it was released.
etc!
seem……
I don’t know since when did the “remote” company start making money by making movies with nothing but a movie title?
You earn a sum of money from advertising fees first, and then you earn another sum from the screening!
What a double happiness.
but……
After receiving a script like this from Lu Yuan, James suddenly felt an inexplicable bad taste in his heart while he was deep in thought.
The playground starts and the subway ends?
The subway ends...
Before it was airlines, then it was cars, now it’s subways...
etc!
Is the boss involved in the American transportation industry?
…………………………
March 2.
The sun sets in the west.
A young figure wearing a hat walked forward step by step in the desert. His lips looked extremely dry. At the same time, the sun above his head was very fierce, causing his whole body to become dehydrated. It seemed that every step he took was extremely strenuous.
.
His throat moved, and he looked at the endless horizon in the distance, as if he could never see the yellow sand at the edge. He took a long breath.
He looked down at his kettle. There was only a mouthful of water left in the kettle.
His throat trembled, he hesitated, and finally looked back instead of taking a sip of water.
"Archie..."
"..."
"Archie?"
"..."
"exist……"
"Can I still leave?"
"Brother, I'm so thirsty..."
"Keep on holding on, we're almost there!"
"Brother, why don't we take a sip of the water here?"
"No, I have to keep walking... I'll give you something to drink at the next intersection."
"All right……"
Behind him, another young man was also walking forward. The young man looked exhausted, but his eyes revealed a desire.
However, after looking at the young man in front of him shaking his head, he could only grit his teeth and nod.
They continued walking forward step by step.
At first, there were about a hundred people who came together, but as the journey became longer and longer, these hundreds of people gradually left the team for various reasons. In the end, only the two of them were left with faith.
's youth.
This in itself is a very difficult journey.
However, a sandstorm caused all the water in the young man's water bottle to disappear. He could only rely on the only remaining bottle of water from his brother in front to survive.
but……
The sky is filled with dust.
How long will this pot of water last?
Time passes little by little...
The sun is still fierce.
The two walking figures gradually slowed down and became laborious. At the same time, an oasis appeared in front of them. When the brothers rushed towards that place with all their strength, they realized that it was just a mirage.
"Brother, I may be dying... I can..."
"Then take a sip, I'll pour it for you..." The young man in front hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"good!"
"Brother, have you drank?"
"I drank. I drank a lot."
"Oh, how much water do we have left?"
"There's still half a pot!"
"Okay, half a pot, we should have enough."
"Yeah, that's enough!"
"..."
An hour later.
"Brother...shall I take another sip?"
"good."
"..."
Half an hour later.
"elder brother?"
"elder brother!"
"elder brother!"
"..."
Under the sunset.
The younger brother at the back looked blankly at the older brother who suddenly fell down in front of him.
He screamed in shock. When he came to his brother, he suddenly found that his whole body was dehydrated.
He quickly took out the pot next to his brother.
Then he found that there was no water in the pot...
There is no water at all!
From beginning to end, he drank the water.
"elder brother!"
He screamed heartbreakingly.
"Click!"
After Xu Qifeng shouted, Lu Yuan, who was lying on the ground due to dehydration, moved his body and opened his eyes.
The medical team all ran over with various instruments and water and surrounded Lu Yuan tightly.
This is a scene from "The Last Day on Earth".
but……
This scene made the entire crew tremble with fear, and Xu Qifeng's heart was in his throat!
This scene could not have been shot in the desert. Everything could have been solved using special effects simulations.
but……
In order to have a realistic effect, Lu Yuan must insist that everyone come to the desert to shoot. Going to the desert to shoot is not just a matter of fact. Lu Yuan suggested that you really need to maintain a dehydrated state, so that you can have a sense of reality.
then……
There was such a frightening scene...
This is too much effort!
In fact, every second of filming such a plot was a kind of torture for Xu Qifeng.
Every line Lu Yuan spoke and every expression touched Xu Qifeng's soul.
He was really afraid that if something happened to Lu Yuan, he would really be doomed, and he might even be infamy for thousands of years.
but……
After seeing Lu Yuan's expression return to normal after drinking water, Xu Qifeng breathed a sigh of relief...
The scene that tortured his heart was finally finished!
Damn it!
Why did you write this desert scene when you were writing the script before?
Be sick!
Half an hour later, when he saw that Lu Yuan was completely back to normal, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Later, when watching the replay, he couldn't help but be infected by Lu Yuan's expressiveness.
Mr. Lu's acting ability is truly terrifying. He actually managed this whole scene in one scene.
After watching it again, he suddenly realized that he was cruel.
This script...
You can't come like this.
If this brother dies like this, then...
not good!
He found that he was somewhat infected by the character played by Lu Yuan, as if it was alive.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally arrived at Lu Yuan's tent.
"Mr. Lu..."
"What's wrong?"
"How about you stay for another day? I don't think you can die like this in this script... I want to change the script. What do you think?"
"Stay another day?"
"right!"
"Are you sure?"
"Um……"
………………………………
One day later...
"Mr. Lu..."
"What's wrong?"
"or……"
"Stay another day?"
"Cough, cough, cough..."
"You've added so many dramas to me that you've almost overwhelmed me as the main character."
"Isn't this, your character is alive..."
"..."
…………………………
Two days later...
"Mr. Lu..."
"Stay another day?"
"Cough, cough, um, can you stay for two days this time? I suddenly have a new idea..."
"Come and listen!"
"good."
………………………………
Day after day, day after day.
It was originally planned to officially wrap up his plot on March 3 and leave the crew of "The Last Day on Earth".
but……
Until March 24, Lu Yuan still had not left the crew of "The Last Day on Earth", and his "supporting role" had not been completed at all...
Xu Qifeng constantly adds stories and drama to Lu Yuan's character...
Then……
This "End of the Earth" seems to have become a drama with two protagonists.
Then, I patted it again, and the taste seemed wrong.
As the male protagonist, Liu Yukun was at a loss.
He should be the protagonist, right?
He felt like he had become a supporting role at some point.
It seems, weird...
On March 26th...
Liu Yukun suddenly received a call from Xu Qifeng.
"Yukun."
"ah?"
"How about we arrange a more heroic show for you tomorrow?"
"What? Heroic?"
"That's right, don't you feel that your role would be more popular if it were heroic?"
"Ah? But now, less than halfway through filming, I'm already so heroic. Am I...am I still the protagonist?"
"You are the protagonist of course!"
After seeing Xu Qifeng's serious expression, Liu Yukun, who was originally the protagonist, suddenly doubted his life.
