In fact, although the birth of "Final Destination 2" caused the performance of some companies to decline and business to hit a new low, some companies' performance hit an all-time high, their products were out of stock, and their staff were very busy.
for example……
Tefal Motors.
According to incomplete statistics, Teflon sold more than 2,000 cars in just a few days. Most customers specifically requested the A-class series cars, and other series of cars that were unsalable due to various appearance reasons were also sold out...
Clearance sale!
Tefu looked at the performance table.
Ha ha!
The work that usually takes a quarter was completed in just a few days, and the profit was more than ten times the investment in movie advertising. Moreover, as long as "Final Destination 2" continues to be broadcast, his sales will continue to soar.
After all, advertising works!
After all, everyone cherishes life, and "Final Destination 2" indirectly praised the Tefor vehicle.
In addition to Tefu making a huge profit, Umbrella Insurance Company was also crowded with people coming to buy insurance.
Ivan's face was about to twitch with laughter.
With this wave, Umbrella Corporation directly hit Traveler, and the stock price rose to a peak!
The feeling of taking off is so great!
"Long-Term must compensate the United States for its losses! Compensation is required!"
"Lu Yuan, this Chinese, is a sinner!"
"I will sue Lu Yuan!"
“…”
The host Kvia criticizes Lu Yuan and his "Final Destination 2" in the media every day like an old troll.
At first, there was still a large group of people who responded, but seeing that some senior American officials were making a lot of noise but doing little in response to this matter, and that Kviar did nothing but curse in the media and try to gain popularity and increase his presence, these people suddenly felt disheartened.
They realized that even if they shouted themselves hoarse, they would still have to bear the losses themselves.
Will Lu Yuan lose money?
Can I sue Lu Yuan?
Can you win the lawsuit?
Even if the lawsuit is won, even if Lu Yuan really wants to pay compensation, will the American Film Association allow it? Will the entire world film association allow it?
When one prospers, all prosper!
Who can guarantee that their movie will be a big hit and not affect reality?
If you lose money if you make a hit movie, who would make movies?
This is totally unrealistic!
so……
These unlucky guys who followed Kvia and shouted on the platform suddenly realized that they had been fooled.
“We will create a limited edition Final Destination 2 movie commemorative car to celebrate Final Destination 2’s new record for horror movies!”
At this time, the pot-bellied Teff staggered in front of the media and shamelessly flattered "Final Destination 2", trying to increase his presence and gain popularity.
Tefu looked a little arrogant in the camera.
It was as if he was telling the whole world that the advertisement for "Final Destination 2" was sponsored by our company!
I have foresight!
I am awesome.
Many companies noticed that Tefo was making a lot of money and were very excited.
Everyone was so jealous, especially when they saw Tefu's arrogant look, everyone wanted to slap him hard.
Are you envious?
Who wouldn’t be envious!
So, what to do?
Just take the money and go to Lu Yuan for remote cooperation. Wasn’t “The Truman Show” a big and sensational operation before?
Let Lu Yuan make another Final Destination!
…
"Final Destination 2" was extremely popular, and it broke the global box office of 200 million US dollars in just eight days.
This is a shocking statistic.
At least……
In the field of horror films, "Final Destination 2" is already invincible.
James did not stop. After a week's rest, he immediately started working with the team to study the script of "Final Destination 3".
Of course, Final Destination and Final Destination 2 both had a complete script, but Final Destination 3’s script was quite simple…
In fact, the script that Lu Yuan gave to James for "Final Destination 3" was very simple!
There is only one sentence from beginning to end.
"This time it starts at the amusement park and ends at the subway station... The death cannot be too dramatic, so as not to cause aesthetic fatigue to the audience. It must also be close to reality. At the same time, the Grim Reaper cannot appear directly. Continue with this tone and keep the suspense. As for how much to invest, it's up to you..."
Then what?
And then nothing.
This sentence, which sounds like a reminder, is the script of "Final Destination 3".
Well, if I really want to say it, the framework of the Final Destination series has been outlined in the first part, and various hidden endings have also been foreshadowed. The only things that need to be changed are the novel and realistic ways of dying, as well as the changes in the structure and psychology of the characters...
Well, if these are done, "Final Destination 3" will be OK.
As for the sentence "It's up to you to decide on the investment", it undoubtedly gave James enormous power.
How much is the appropriate investment?
Confused!
So many advertisers approached Final Destination 3, all hoping to place an ad in Final Destination 3...
The total amount has far exceeded 200 million US dollars.
All right!
There is no doubt that...
"Final Destination 3" is another movie that made money before it was released.
etc!
seem……
I don’t know since when, “remote” companies have been able to make money by shooting movies with just a movie title?
First make money from advertising fees, then make another money from the release of the movie!
Damn, double the happiness.
but……
After receiving the script from Lu Yuan, James suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable evil while he was deep in thought.
Starts at the amusement park and ends at the subway?
The subway ends...
First it was aviation, then it was cars, and now it’s the subway…
etc!
Is the boss into the American transportation industry?
…
March 2nd.
The sun sets.
A young figure wearing a hat was walking forward step by step in the desert. His lips looked extremely dry. At the same time, the sun above his head was very scorching, and his whole body was dehydrated. It seemed that every step forward was extremely difficult.
His throat moved, and he looked at the endless yellow sand in the distance that seemed to have no end, and he took a long breath.
He looked down at his water bottle and saw only a mouthful of water left in it.
His throat trembled and he hesitated for a moment. In the end, he did not drink the water but looked behind him.
"Archie..."
“…”
"Archie?"
“…”
"exist……"
"Can you still walk?"
"Brother, I'm so thirsty..."
"Hold on a little longer, we're almost there!"
"Brother, the water here, how about we take a sip?"
"No, we have to walk a little further... I'll pour you another drink when we get to the next intersection."
"All right……"
Behind him, another young man was also following and walking forward. The young man looked exhausted, but his eyes revealed a desire.
However, after seeing the young man in front of him shaking his head, he could only grit his teeth and nod.
They continued to walk forward step by step.
At the beginning, there were about a hundred people coming together, but as the journey became longer, these hundred people gradually left the team for various reasons. In the end, only the two young men with faith were left.
This in itself is a very difficult journey.
However, a sandstorm caused all the water in the young man's kettle to spill out, and he could only rely on the only remaining kettle of water from his brother in front of him to survive.
but……
The sky was filled with dust.
How long can this pot of water last?
Time goes by little by little...
The sun is still scorching.
The two walking figures gradually slowed down and began to struggle. At the same time, an oasis appeared in front of them. When the two brothers rushed towards that place with all their might, they realized that it was just a mirage.
"Brother, I might be dying...I can..."
"Then take a sip, I'll pour you a pour..." The young man in front hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"good!"
"Brother, have you drunk yet?"
"I have drunk a lot."
"Oh, how much water do we have left?"
"There's still half a pot left!"
"Okay, half a pot, that should be enough for us."
"Yeah, that's enough!"
“…”
An hour later.
"Brother...can I have another sip?"
"good."
“…”
Half an hour later.
"elder brother?"
"elder brother!"
"elder brother!"
“…”
Under the sunset.
The younger brother behind looked blankly at his brother who suddenly fell down in front of him.
He screamed in shock, and when he came to his brother, he suddenly found that his brother was dehydrated all over.
He quickly took out the pot from his brother's side.
Then he found that there was no water in the kettle...
There is absolutely no water!
He drank all this water from beginning to end.
"elder brother!"
He screamed heart-wrenchingly.
“Crack!”
After Xu Qifeng shouted "click", Lu Yuan, who was lying on the ground dehydrated, moved his body and opened his eyes.
The entire medical team ran over with various instruments and water and surrounded Lu Yuan tightly.
This is a scene from "The Last Days on Earth".
but……
This scene made the entire crew tremble with fear, and Xu Qifeng's heart was in his throat!
This scene didn't have to be shot in the desert, everything could have been simulated with special effects.
but……
In order to achieve a realistic effect, Lu Yuan insisted that everyone come to the desert to shoot. But coming to the desert to shoot was not enough. Lu Yuan suggested that they should actually stay in a state of dehydration so that it would look realistic.
then……
There was such a frightening scene...
This is too much effort!
In fact, every second of shooting such a scene was a torture for Xu Qifeng.
Every line and every expression of Lu Yuan touched Xu Qifeng's soul.
He was really afraid that something would happen to Lu Yuan. If that happened, he would be really finished, and might even be infamous for eternity.
but……
After seeing Lu Yuan's expression return to normal after drinking the water, Xu Qifeng finally 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?
Are you sick?
Half an hour later, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Yuan had completely recovered.
Later, when he watched the replay, he couldn't help but be infected by Lu Yuan's expressiveness.
Mr. Lu’s acting ability is truly terrifying. He actually shot this entire scene in one take.
After watching it again, he suddenly realized that he was cruel.
This script...
You can't do it this way.
If this brother died like this, then...
not good!
He found himself somewhat infected by the character played by Lu Yuan, as if it had come to life.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally came to Lu Yuan's tent.
"Mr. Lu..."
"What's wrong?"
"How about you stay for another day? I think you can't be so dead set on 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 much drama to my role that it almost overshadows the main character."
"Isn't this? Your character is alive..."
“…”
…
Two days later...
"Mr. Lu..."
"Stay another day?"
"Ahem, ahem, um, can you stay for two days this time? I suddenly had a new idea..."
"Tell me what you think!"
"good."
…
Day after day, day after day.
He originally planned to finish filming his own drama on March 3 and leave the "The Last Days" crew.
but……
As of March 24, Lu Yuan still hadn’t left the crew of “The Last Days of the Earth”, and his “supporting role” plot hadn’t been finished yet…
Xu Qifeng constantly adds stories and scenes to Lu Yuan's character...
Then……
This "The Last Days of Earth" seems to have become a drama with two protagonists.
Then, as I kept tapping it, the taste seemed wrong.
Liu Yukun, the male lead, was at a loss.
He should be the protagonist, right?
He felt like he had become a supporting role without knowing when.
It seems strange...
On March 26th...
Liu Yukun suddenly received a call from Xu Qifeng.
"Yukun."
"ah?"
"How about I arrange a more heroic scene for you tomorrow?"
"What? Heroic?"
"Yeah, don't you feel that your role is more heroic and popular?"
"Ah? But, we're only halfway through filming and I'm already a hero. Am I... am I still the protagonist?"
"You are the protagonist for sure!"
After seeing Xu Qifeng's serious expression, Liu Yukun, who was originally the protagonist, suddenly began to doubt his life.
Is there a protagonist who dies halfway through?
