Batman 2 finally surpassed War and Roses by $30 million...
It is very honorable and glorious, and it is indeed true that it is the first in the history of world cinema!
They admit it!
but……
Many people think that times have changed!
After the amazing box office of "Batman", some people feel that if a classic movie like "War and Roses" was released in this era, it would definitely reach $1.8 billion!
1.8 billion US dollars!
It's enough to beat Batman 2.
This feeling is like the battle between Qin Qiong and Guan Gong. No one has verified it. After all, the two movies are not from the same era. How can you verify it? Is it time transcendence?
Therefore, this sentence has become the last fig leaf of Hollywood. Just like many middle-aged people who are unwilling to give up, they use the glory of the past to deceive themselves, and then prove that they are still the best in the world, that no one can surpass them, and that they are a legend...
Some people even shouted that white supremacy is supreme and that things cannot be surpassed, precisely because they are white people's things...
They long to continue to be praised.
However, Lu Yuan, like a foolish or ignorant young man, forcibly pulled down the last bit of pride in Hollywood...
No face given at all!
Lu Yuan’s Weibo is full of gunpowder!
You said that Batman 2 broke the box office record of War and Roses, one of the four major Hollywood movies, just because the box office price ratio in the past is different from the current dollar ratio?
You say that "War and Roses" is not a classic of this era? The box office will never be surpassed, and the love story in it will never be surpassed?
You said that "War and Roses" is always more noble than "Batman 2", and the content inside it also reflects the immense yearning for beauty?
You said that these two movies are not from the same era and cannot be compared?
All right!
So……
What if Titanic?
What if the box office is $2 billion?
What if it is an absolutely overwhelming trend?
As soon as Lu Yuan sent out the tweet, the whole of Hollywood was in an uproar!
“What is he doing!”
"Lu Yuan, are you openly declaring war on Hollywood? Are you challenging the dignity of Hollywood?"
"He's crazy, doesn't this guy know what Hollywood stands for? Isn't he afraid of..."
"I don't believe they will ban him. Is Hollywood afraid of him? With a box office of 2 billion, he dares to do that. He's so arrogant..."
“…”
“…”
“…”
"Even if he is like this, what can the whole of Hollywood do to him?"
"What can Hollywood do to him?"
Countless discussions bombarded the entire Hollywood.
but……
The discussions finally ended with this last sentence.
Then……
All the angry voices seemed like a joke after this sentence.
Ban Lu Yuan?
What era is this? Why are you still saying this?
Once, all of Hollywood united to boycott Lu Yuan, wanting him to quit the film industry forever.
But what's the use of this?
Ban?
What is the reason for banning it?
The slogan of ban has been shouted for so many years, but Lu Yuan is getting more and more arrogant and more and more enthusiastic day by day?
He even sang songs like "Invincible" and "Inflation", what can you do to him?
Challenge the majesty of Hollywood?
Even if he really provokes you, what can you do?
Do you have the ability to achieve a box office like Batman 2, and 1.5 billion?
The most infuriating thing in the world is when someone is arrogant in front of you and you have no way to stop him. You can only watch him look at you with his nose up in the air...
Arrogant to the core.
…
Duncan was so angry that he was speechless!
After staring at the computer screen for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
Then, the fist unclenched again!
Looks a little weak.
"Duncan, his Titanic box office can't possibly reach 2 billion. 2 billion dollars, what a joke! Does he really think he is the number one in film history?"
"Does he really think that the entire Hollywood is doomed? Don't forget, there's still a movie called 'The Anthropocene' directed by Loren!"
“…”
The assistant's angry words rang in Duncan's ears.
Duncan remained silent throughout.
"He will lose!"
"No one can win all the time. Even if he wins all the time, I feel that he will lose one day!"
“…”
Duncan didn't know what was going on and said such weak words.
After saying it, even he himself found it a little ridiculous.
He didn't know what happened to him...
Once upon a time, he was a high-spirited director, looking down upon the world with all his might, and in his eyes there was only Master Nino and that movie "War and Roses"...
That's a big mountain!
That was the belief he wanted to transcend!
But everything started to change after Lu Yuan appeared.
This mountain was overturned just like that?
He suddenly began to become dazed.
That’s right, it’s impossible to be overthrown. There’s always a possibility that he will lose.
He began to comfort himself and started to look a little pathetic.
…
The year 2006 was so lonely.
In early 2006, "Batman 2" was released. In mid-January 2007, "Batman 2" achieved amazing box office results, plunging the entire Hollywood into a vortex of excitement and controversy.
Lu Yuan is always the focus of this world. Almost as long as you go online, you can see news about "Lu Yuan".
Even news channels in many countries have been reporting on Lu Yuan.
However, he never showed up, and there were only a few lines on Twitter...
This is a terrifying level of heat and influence!
So far, there has never been a superstar in this world who has reached such a level.
Annie can't, Lilith can't...
Even McVey can't...
In the past, whenever Lu Yuan spoke arrogantly or showed off, there would be countless people who would refute him!
Although there are some now, it is not a one-sided big news of the flame-flavor competition.
No one is hyping anything up.
Many people have become smarter.
Music, film, literature...
Haven’t there been enough people who have been slapped in the face by this monster Lu Yuan?
Everyone knows that this is an era that belongs to Lu Yuan. All they can do is to be a spectator and watch Lu Yuan continue to create miracles and then shout "Lu Yuan!" That's it!
You say you are unwilling?
So, tell me, what else can you do besides doing these things?
Are you and Lu Yuan competing against each other?
How to sing?
If you can do it, go ahead?
Do you dare to come up?
I'll make your face swollen, okay?
Reality is so cruel!
…
At the beginning of 2007, there was a faint smell in the CCTV building that I couldn't describe.
Li Mingrui was smoking a cigarette and his mood fell to the bottom.
The feedback from his assistants was more disappointing than the last.
Why?
The Spring Festival Gala is ready to go!
However, the temperature at the beginning of 2007 was exceptionally hot, and there were patches of wind and snow outside. The wind and snow seemed to blow into Li Mingrui's heart, making him want to cry.
"Old Li! This position belongs to you. You are the only one in the whole of China who is qualified for this position! Didn't you always say before that you would support a collapsing building? Now, the opportunity has come! Don't worry, the building will not collapse..."
He remembered Wang Guanghua holding his hand, the words he said to him, and Wang Guanghua's sincere face.
No matter how he refused, no matter what the reason was, Wang Guanghua still pulled him to the Spring Festival Gala and made him the chief director of the 2007 Spring Festival Gala.
This is a hot potato that no one dares to accept!
If the 2006 Spring Festival Gala was an astonishing peak, then the 2007 Spring Festival Gala was a big pot that no one dared to take the blame for.
After the 2006 Spring Festival Gala, many savvy old guys realized this.
Li Mingrui has counted that there are more than 30 veteran directors who chose to retire in China at the beginning of 2006. Moreover, they all did it with great fanfare, as if they were afraid that others would not know that they had retired.
What's even more exaggerated is that there are even a few directors who have performed a series of rituals like retiring from the entertainment industry...
These guys are smart!
The 2006 Spring Festival Gala was at its peak in terms of both ratings and reputation. Many programs on the Spring Festival Gala were considered great...
If you go up at this time, wouldn't it be a tragedy?
Everyone understands that no matter how hard you try in the 2007 Spring Festival Gala, you will be compared with the 2006 one!
Compare?
How to compare?
What a joke!
No one wants to lose their reputation at this time!
It would be better to retire early and leave a good reputation while no one else is reacting.
Before the end of 2006, the Spring Festival Gala had tried to contact many veteran directors, but they all had the same idea...
I am really retired, I am sick and I can't work anymore. I really want to contribute to my motherland, but I can't. My ability is limited. Besides, I really want to retire!
The most tragic thing is that the blame was passed around many times and finally fell on Li Mingrui.
Li Mingrui refused.
but……
He couldn't resist the daily ideological work, and he was tricked by Lu Yuan into participating in the Spring Festival Gala every year. So except Lu Yuan, there was really no one more suitable than him in the whole of China.
As for Lu Yuan, he was busy competing with Hollywood and setting a world film record, so he clearly refused.
So, on a dark and windy night, after hearing Wang Guanghua's emotional and logical appeal, Li Mingrui finally nodded and agreed to Wang Guanghua's application...
Then when he woke up, he realized his tragedy.
What can he do?
He has no solution!
"This year is really a very tragic year..."
"Why……"
This is indeed a tragic year and a sigh-worthy Spring Festival Gala.
Sketch master Zhao Bengang has just retired...
Asian singing queen Zhou Xiaoxia retires...
Yang Ping, who performed the peacock dance, had an operation in October and is still unable to perform on stage...
Lu Yuan was busy with "Titanic" and was completely immersed in it and couldn't get away...
…
In 2006 and 2007…
It seemed like everything changed in an instant.
This is as difficult as climbing to the sky!
What can Li Mingrui do?
He is also desperate!
In the end, he could only grit his teeth and go on...
