"There are several main rivals for the New Year's Eve: "Sun Factory", "Andromeda", two science fiction films, "Deep Sea" animation, "Detective 5", "Miracle Journey"" Li Lan talked about the New Year's Eve one by one.
opponent.
Even without Lin Jian, domestic films have actually become more and more powerful. Although there was a sci-fi disaster when the science fiction trend was surging, which destroyed everyone's confidence, the companies that survived were more committed to high-quality products. In fact, there are very Hollywood films.
Currently, special effects are done in China, which explains a lot of problems.
Give us time, and the Chinese people will not be weaker than others in any aspect.
After finishing his speech, Li Lan added: "But these should not pose any threat to us."
She said things seriously that sounded a bit arrogant to others, but it was true that in China, the Alliance's films were already in a first-class category. As long as Lin Jian didn't screw up, the box office wouldn't be far behind.
This is also a characteristic of the movie universe.
Lin Juan was listening carefully, but Li Lan's sudden words made him burst into laughter: Aunt Lan, you're lost.
"What we need to pay attention to is abroad." Li Lan suddenly spoke solemnly.
"What's wrong?" Lin Juan asked with raised eyebrows.
"Universal's "The Mutant-Dr. Lizard" has also started to land around the world and is scheduled to be on the same schedule as ours. However, we in the Mainland rejected this movie..."
Lin Juan couldn't help but smile and wanted to praise him for a job well done.
Huaying cannot refuse all Hollywood blockbusters, but it is quite powerful to have one at this critical moment.
"This "Mutants" clearly wants to copy the model of League. Even the villains are spider mutants. How could it be allowed in? However, Universal's ambitions are very big this time, and they also have experience in producing League. I'm worried
The quality of this movie is pretty good." Li Lan was a little worried.
Lin Juan also knew about this, and he was speechless when the trailer came out half a month ago.
Spider-Man is registered with the International Copyright Society, so there is no need to worry about piracy, and this Dr. Lizard...
"Aunt Lan, actually I have to tell you that the concept of Dr. Lizard came from a previous phone call when I casually told Jimmy that Spider-Man's villain camp had considered Dr. Lizard, Electro, etc. They probably took it away.
I adapted it into a script and gave Spider-Man a blow by the way." Lin Juan said speechlessly.
"Then did you tell me what Dr. Lizard's abilities are?"
"I seem to have said a few words casually? Something like regeneration, strength, etc." Lin Juan frowned and said.
Li Lan: "..."
"I'm even more worried." After a moment of silence, Li Lan said with a wry smile. This was Lin Juan's idea after all.
"It's okay, Dr. Lizard is the plot that I gave up. I guess their plot is just about the concept of Dr. Lizard. A doctor with a severed hand develops a mutant potion in order to heal himself, and an assistant or something else
A person stole a potion and turned into a spider? Or simply mutated into a spider-man."
"It's okay. Even if they have the quality of Spider-Man, they can't compete with this kind of small league. And they can't bully the Mythical Universe anymore. They have to find an opponent to play with." Lin Juan said jokingly, also to comfort Li Lan.
There's really nothing he can do about Universal doing this. After all, if someone borrows your concept, it doesn't actually involve copyright. Anyone can do it in the movie universe.
But only Lin Juan knows best. It is not that easy to make a good movie universe. The more you work on it, the more bugs you will have. If you are not careful, you will kill yourself.
Let them play if they want to, and Lin Juan will also use the alliance to play with them.
"Okay, okay, I feel relieved if you say this. I have something to do here, so I won't talk about it for now. Happy New Year, Xiaojuan. I will send you a red envelope later and help me say hello to your parents."
Li Lan said with a smile.
"Okay, Aunt Lan, happy New Year to you too."
Lin Juan hung up the phone with a smile, exchanged messages with Li Qingyu for a while, and then started writing a script. Until his mother came to call him to eat, Lin Juan agreed, stopped what he was doing, and walked out of the room and went downstairs. His brothers, sisters, and grandma were there.
We watch TV and play games in the hall, my father and uncle are playing cards, and my mother, aunt and uncle are serving food from the kitchen on the first floor. There are red blessing characters posted everywhere in the house.
In fact, there is a dining table on the first floor, but everyone thinks it is more comfortable to eat in the hall, and there is a TV, so Lin Juan just goes with it.
"Come on, come on, it's time to eat, let's respect our ancestors first." Dad announced, today is New Year's Eve, and this meal is the reunion dinner.
So everyone first filled each bowl with a mouthful of rice, poured a little wine into the cup, and began to burn yellow paper and paper money. They all asked Lin Juan to bow to the dining table and invite his ancestors to eat.
After bowing, everyone can start eating. Of course, the previous meals, wine, etc. will not be wasted.
There is no difference every year during the New Year. The elders chat about the business and current situation of the year, gossip about the love affairs and marriages of the next generation, and then they play cards and eat wine.
The family ate happily, and most of the time the conversation focused on Lin Juan. Occasionally, everyone would chat about their own business and other people's gossip. When the atmosphere was harmonious, grandma suddenly lowered her head and cried.
She missed her grandpa again.
Everyone hurriedly had another comforting meal. After dinner, those who should play cards played cards and those who should watch TV watched TV. Uncle was a little envious of Lin Juan’s SUV, so he asked Lin Juan’s father to sit in the passenger seat and he went for a ride.
When handing over the key,
Lin Juan was ready to scrap the vehicle. He just told them to drive slower and fasten their seat belts. There were not many cars on the road during the Chinese New Year. Even if his uncle had barely touched a car after getting his driver's license, it shouldn't be too serious...
Bar?
Time passed like this little by little, and soon it was approaching midnight. The lights in the villa were still bright, and there was even the sound of firecrackers being set off in the community. People in such a remote villa area would not come to check.
Lin Juan looked at the time and saw that it was almost twelve o'clock. The cinema at this time... must be very lively.
…
"Hurry up, hurry up, we won't be able to catch up if we wait a little longer."
"Just wait a minute. I'll be there soon. Damn it! I drove here for an hour and a half just to watch a movie with you, but you still have the nerve to rush me?"
"Mom, let's go!"
"Honey, have you come out yet?! Hurry up~"
"Let's go, this one is cast, the time is coming, it's time to watch the premiere."
At this time, in thousands of households, countless people go out of their homes or Internet cafes to watch a movie. In other words, it is really miserable for those who hang out in Internet cafes on New Year's Eve...
It was approaching twelve o'clock in Jiangcheng. Song Peng took Song Qiao to the Hengdian Cinemas located on the Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street. Jiangcheng was Song Qiao's hometown. When he came this time, Song Peng decided to get married.
It just happened to them in this life.
"My God, there are so many people here?" Song Qiao was shocked as soon as he came up. This Hengdian Cinema is on the eighth floor. Because it is close to Wanda Cinema, the business here is usually not very good.
If there are so many people...
"I just can't buy a seat at Wanda. Of the five movie theaters nearby, this one still had seats when I made the reservation." Song Peng said thankfully. At this time, several popular movies were posted everywhere in the theater.
The movie poster, while "Monkey King 2" firmly occupies the c position.
In this environment, the theater seemed almost overcrowded at this time, with nearly two hundred people at a glance. The lively atmosphere was in sharp contrast to the empty appearance downstairs.
It can only be said that it is indeed a New Year's release, but I don't know how many of these people are here for "Monkey King 2"...
Although Li Lan said that, several movies in the same period are not weak.
