February 27th.

The box office battle during the Spring Festival did not ultimately produce a final tally, but the online attention paid to this box office battle has gradually decreased.

Tomorrow is the last day of the Spring Festival box office battle. In fact, at this point, it is completely meaningless to discuss the final box office.

They all knew that neither "War Blood" nor "Bloody Age" could make a comeback.

In fact, this outcome was inevitable from the tenth day.

"Planet Age" grossed 890 million on the 27th day... plus tomorrow's box office, it is predicted to exceed 900 million. The current box office of "Nomadland" has just exceeded 600 million, and the final box office is predicted to be 620 million, ranking second. "King Kong 1: Origins" was nearly 200 million less than "Nomadland", ranking third, with no hope of a comeback, and eventually became the only Hollywood movie suppressed by Chinese films in recent years.

Of course, these box office revenues are all in China. If we really count the global box office, "Nomadland" is no match for "King Kong 1: Origins"...

After all, no matter how bad it is, it is still a Hollywood movie, and its channels are broadcast all over the world.

As for the channel for "Wanderer", unfortunately, it is only in China.

Unless Chinese films have extremely impressive box office results, enough to make a splash internationally and have various relationships and channels to maintain their success, it is very rare for them to go abroad, just as very few Chinese films have won awards abroad.

This is a sad story, but there is no way to help it...

Even big companies like Tianyu and Huajin are powerless, let alone Lu Yuan's "shell company" which is only about 150 square meters...

What can you do?

This is reality.

A reality that cannot be changed for the time being.

The idea of ​​conquering Hollywood or even crushing Hollywood movies is just a dream.

Well, the ultimate dream.

Of course, despite this, the performance of "The Wanderer" still amazed all Chinese movie fans and people in the industry!

This can be seen as a symbol of Hollywood movies attacking China and China's counterattack!

In a sense, "The Wanderer" has broken too many records, such as the record of the lowest investment and the highest return, the record of box office for art films, the first Chinese art film to suppress Hollywood science fiction films, and so on...

These records are so miraculous that one cannot help but admit that they exist.

Therefore, many second-tier or first-tier actors in China began to become interested in Lu Yuan's next movie.

Of course, what’s more important is that Lu Yuan is the leading actor!

Why?

As for other celebrities, even if some first-tier celebrities’ Weibo accounts are blocked, they may not necessarily make the headlines. After all, it depends on opportunities and operations. But what about Lu Yuan?

Just a few hours after Lu Yuan was banned, he was already on the headlines!

It made the headlines without a doubt, and the words were very exciting after they made the headlines, making many people in the entertainment industry happy for a long time...

So what does Lu Yuan represent?

nonsense!

It represents popularity and topic!

Even if the final box office is not satisfactory, it will not be a loss.

At least during the period of cooperation with Lu Yuan, I can definitely take advantage of Lu Yuan's popularity. If I can create some scandal or something, wouldn't that be even better?

Most people think this way.

The entertainment industry is a very realistic world, whether it is the Tianyu camp or the Joaquin camp.

Although the two belong to different camps, the actors under them have never been so hostile to each other, and there is no explicit stipulation in the contract that the actors of the company cannot take on movies invested by other companies. For example, Joaquin Liu Fangfei once took on a movie of Tianyu Zhang Tong, and Tianyu's Shen Liuxing took on Joaquin's song MV. Of course, the premise is that the profit share must go through the company's account and all details must be disclosed to the public...

There are no eternal opponents in the world. As long as there are interests, there can be no eternal enemies.

This is especially true in this circle.

Someone like Sun Peng who directly tore his face off...

Well, there is only one Sun Peng.

"Yeah, yeah, I know."

"It's okay, I know, please don't worry."

"Okay, I will tell our CEO Lu your information as soon as possible, please rest assured."

"Sure, we will notify you as soon as the audition notice comes out."

"Yes, I will definitely notify you. Don't worry, I will definitely not miss any."

“…”

Wu Tingting is very busy.

Since this morning, she has been receiving a lot of random calls from people in the circle on her phone, making her overwhelmed.

She didn't feel tired. Instead, she felt excited!

Also excited was Fatty Wei, who was staying next to Wu Tingting and helping her organize the documents.

Fatty Wei was laughing so hard that he could hardly close his mouth...

Liu Fangfei, Dong Binbin, Ji Feifei, Liu Chen...

The agents of well-known first-line actors or young actresses in the industry called one after another, expressing their interest in the film and hoping to come and talk to Lu Yuan or audition directly...

Fatty Wei feels better!

He was quite worried about the leading actress at first, and even wanted to try to call those actresses, but now...

Not only do you not have to fight back, but people are fighting back now.

This taste!

Wow, that’s so cool!

call!

Fatty Wei looked at the information again...

At this moment, Fatty Wei even foresaw that "Groundhog Day" was gradually beginning to move towards success!

Well, although Lu Yuan denied Liu Fangfei at the first moment, it was just a private denial between the two of them. After Lu Yuan meets Liu Fangfei in person, he will probably change his mind.

Even if Liu Fangfei is not chosen, any one of the other many stars would be worth their money!

"Director Wei, have you sorted out the information?"

"It's sorted."

"Oh, you mean..."

"Auditions, stop talking, call everyone over for auditions!"

"Um, okay, then I'll go ask Mr. Lu about the audition time?"

"Okay, talk to Yuan and tell him that tomorrow would be best. Well, if possible, this afternoon would be fine."

"OK!"

Fatty Wei was very anxious.

He couldn't wait to accept the movie.

This movie not only has a brilliant script, but also an attractive plot.

good!

Just as Wu Tingting was walking towards Lu Yuan's office, Li Qi happened to walk into the company with a stack of documents.

"Director Li, you're here?"

"Ah, Director Wei, hello, hello..."

"Haha, Director Li, have you got all the actors for your movie?"

"Actors, not yet... My movie doesn't need many actors, it's not as grand as yours..."

"Hey, what you said is not right. They are all company movies, so there is no pomp and circumstance. The scripts were all written by Yuan and invested by the company. By the way, are you free these two days?"

"In the next two days? I should be free tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. What's the matter?"

“Is there a female protagonist in “This Man From Earth”?”

"some."

"That's great, hahahaha, come watch the actors' auditions with us tomorrow."

"What audition?"

"You still don't know the news? Tsk tsk, let me tell you, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow Liu Fangfei, Dong Binbin, Ji Feifei, Liu Chen and others will come to our company for an audition..."

“Is this true or false?”

"Why would I lie to you? You can choose your actors from them when the time comes."

"But these people's salaries are not low, and the total investment in my film is only 100,000. This..."

"What are you worried about? Is our Ayuan such a stingy person? If Ayuan closes his eyes, will he be short of tens of thousands? Impossible! And you won't suffer any loss."

"Oh, that's right..."

"Haha! Two movies, maybe they'll both be a success!"

…

"Are these all these people?"

"Yes, Mr. Lu."

"Are there any actors who just came out of Yanying?"

"Mr. Lu... let's put it this way. Our Buried Alive and The Wanderer are both so popular that we will definitely select a group of people. Well, even though our company is not very large now, it's not like ordinary actors can come in for auditions... and if the person who can act with you is an inexperienced rookie, it wouldn't be appropriate. But these people are different. More or less, they have experience in acting in other movies."

"Oh, I see."

Lu Yuan nodded.

In the office, Lu Yuan looked at these dozens of documents silently, and seemed to be lost in thought.

Basically, the information contained in the information were all first-tier or second-tier celebrities in the circle, but as for the little stars and actors who had just graduated from Yanying, there was not a single one.

To be honest, Lu Yuan was not very satisfied with this information.

This has invisibly created a sense of alienation in the film.

Lu Yuan didn't like this kind of estrangement very much.

"How about this, you tell Director Wei that the audition will be arranged the day after tomorrow, which is March 1st. Oh, and there's one more thing..."

"What's up?"

"You can also post an audition notice online. The female lead will be selected from these people and from the outside. There are no restrictions on the school or major you graduated from, but you need to have a certain level of acting skills. If you are confident in your acting skills, you can sign up in advance before March 1st..."

"Mr. Lu, this... I'm afraid these celebrities in the circle will not be satisfied... After all, their level is different from ordinary actors..." Wu Tingting answered subconsciously, somewhat confused about Lu Yuan's actions.

Aren’t these heroines enough?

"Wu Tingting, you have to understand one thing. It's them who want to act in our movie now, not us begging them to. As the controllers of the entire movie, we are fully qualified to offer such conditions... Moreover, we are making a movie purely for the sake of making a movie. We are not like those big companies that do all those messy and empty things. We compete with solid acting skills and extraordinary strength. No matter how big a star they are, they are all the same to me... They all need to go through the process and have an interview. If they don't accept, we don't have to serve them... It's okay to be tough." Lu Yuan looked at Wu Tingting and finally shook his head, his voice extremely firm.

"Yes, Mr. Lu, I understand." Wu Tingting fell silent after seeing Lu Yuan.

At this moment, she didn't know why she was so excited by Lu Yuan's righteous words.

"Go down and get ready."

"Well, okay! Mr. Lu..."

"Anything else?"

"No, I just think you are a pure filmmaker... You are different from others. You are more responsible for the film than anyone else. This science fiction film will definitely be a good one! Absolutely!"

"Go away and stop flattering me." Lu Yuan waved his hand and looked as if he would continue to be upright, but his face turned red.

He couldn't bear this compliment...

"These are not flattery, Mr. Lu, these are my sincere words!"

"Well, thank you then!"

"I'll go down and take care of Mr. Lu first."

"Well, thank you for your help."

…

"What? Ayuan can do this?" Fatty Wei was a little bit unbelievable after hearing what Wu Tingting said.

"Yes, that's what Mr. Lu ordered!"

"Well, Ayuan is a good person in other aspects except that he is a bit of a perfectionist, too paranoid and too serious..." Fatty Wei shook his head helplessly.

"No, this is responsible for the movie!" Li Qi doesn't think so.

"It's just that you're too responsible. But that's true. Only people who are so serious can really make a good movie. But I think this is a bit redundant. Don't those stars listed in the information have acting skills? No, their acting skills are all good, right? And those messy little actors don't have any acting skills..."

"In fact, it would be better to be more serious and have more choices."

"Um."

While the two were discussing, the door of the company opened...

"Hello, may I ask... An Xiao?" Wu Tingting subconsciously went up to him, but was stunned when she saw An Xiao.

"Well, I'm looking for your CEO Lu. Is your CEO Lu here?"

"Ms. Lu...what do you want to talk to her about? And where is your luggage..." When Wu Tingting saw An Xiao carrying a pink suitcase, she was stunned.

What is this for?

Moving?

"Don't ask so many questions. Take me to see your CEO Lu. I want to talk to him..."

"This... I'll go ask for instructions first..."

"Okay, I'll go find your President Wang first...Um, Wei Wuji, can you please take care of my luggage for me..."

"Call me Director Wei!"

"Okay, Director Wei, help me look after my luggage."
