"Lu Yuan?"
"Actor, pianist, poet, artist, songwriter, singer, director... What? Am I seeing this wrong? So many titles combined into one person? Is this true?"
“Are there any representative works?”
"What!"
“To Alice, Lullaby, Wedding in a Dream…”
“The Nomad, The Man from Earth, Groundhog Day…”
"???"
"There are so many songs? What, there are two English songs?"
"So many representative works are on one person? This... are you kidding me? Is this a human or a monster?"
"He's also a writer? Is there anything else in the entertainment industry that he hasn't done?"
Under the hazy night.
A middle-aged woman who had just returned from abroad was searching for the word "Lu Yuan"...
After seeing a series of titles and countless representative works.
She was suddenly dumbfounded.
This person...
It turned her worldview upside down.
…
The night of December 14th.
Joaquin’s official Weibo announced that “Dream Travelers” is ready for its world premiere.
The premiere ceremony was held on a grand scale, and the venue was directly located in the central stadium of Shanghai. Hollywood actress and heroine Katherine appeared at the venue, singing and giving away various autographed photos. The momentum filled all the headlines in the entertainment industry and aroused the expectations of all netizens.
Although "Dream Travelers" is a co-production between China and the United States, it is the only science fiction film in China in recent years with huge investment, so the industry has very high expectations for this film. Some insiders who have seen the prologue of the sample film even posted exciting advertisements on Weibo such as "This is about to become China's first science fiction film with a box office of over 1 billion. Science fiction films will officially rise after this film."
Movie fans were instantly excited!
As a Chinese, who doesn't want our country's science fiction films to rise and compete with Hollywood?
It's an honor!
At the end of the event of Catherine and other giants, Han Lu also entered with the original team of "City Fortress".
Han Lu even spoke to everyone on behalf of "City Fortress".
In addition to sincerely wishing that "Dream Travelers" would be a big hit at the box office, he also stated that he would work hard to perform well in the movie "City Fortress" and strive to add more glory to the Chinese science fiction film market!
His words were very inspiring, and even those audiences who hated him before turned from haters to fans instantly. At this moment, there were countless cheers from the audience, and some veteran film workers couldn't help but stand up and shout "The rise of Chinese science fiction films!" and so on.
There is no doubt that the premiere of "Dream Travelers" was very successful. It not only earned everyone's expectations, but also gave everyone a sense of pride. This sense of pride made them forget for a moment that this movie was a co-production between Huamei and the United States, that the leading actress was from Hollywood, that the screenwriter was from Hollywood, and that the special effects team was from Hollywood...
There are some things they choose to forget.
As for the premiere of "A Chinese Odyssey" which competes with "Dream Traveler", it was quite simple...
wrong!
"A Chinese Odyssey" did not have any premiere at all. Even when the movie was about to be released, except for the assistant director Li Qi who often showed up to promote his movie, director Lu Yuan was nowhere to be found for a while.
Lu Yuan's promotion is not as good as that of the heroine An Xiao...
At least An Xiao posted on his Weibo, in major media, and at press conferences...
During this period, An Xiao has been promoting "A Chinese Odyssey" in various ways.
As for the advertising king Lu Yuan...
All right!
This advertising king seemed to have disappeared and became silent. Not only did he not participate in any other variety shows, he rarely even showed up in public.
as if.
It just evaporated.
This makes people feel very strange.
In Joaquin's office.
Shen Lianjie lit up another "Honglan" and smoked it desperately.
There were cigarette butts all over his feet.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something sinister about this matter.
Lu Yuan!
What on earth is this guy doing?
Is he really not paying attention to "A Chinese Odyssey" which cost more than 100 million yuan?
Does he really think he is invincible in China? That's not right. Although the pre-sale tickets are selling well, isn't he afraid of losing money?
With an investment of over 100 million, you need to get at least 400 million at the box office to make a profit. Don’t you feel pressured?
As soon as the premiere of "Dream Traveler" ended, Shen Lianjie returned to the hotel, turned on his computer, and then stared at Lu Yuan's Weibo and refreshed it several times...
Then, he was disappointed.
Apart from updating a similar Weibo post five or six days ago, Lu Yuan has been in a stagnant state since then.
In the past, at this time, Lu Yuan would definitely post a Weibo message to encourage everyone to come and watch the movie and buy tickets, but now...
No reaction at all.
What on earth is this guy doing?
Shen Lianjie shook his head. After finishing the cigarette, he put out the butt and silently closed the open window next to him.
He felt that the weather was getting colder.
At the same time, I felt more and more panicked for some unknown reason.
…
December 15th.
The two movies "A Chinese Odyssey" and "Dream Travelers" finally started to be released amid the anticipation of thousands of fans.
Originally, all major media outlets hoped to hype up these two films and compete with each other on the Internet.
Xu Cancan had the same idea when he set the release date for "Dream Traveler" on December 15th...
Under normal circumstances, "Dream Travelers" should have premiered in early January.
However, if it was early January, "Dream Traveler" might not be able to get any benefits. After all, she received news that several Hollywood movies would be released in early January, one of which was a fantasy movie called "Orc Titan" that cost nearly 70 million US dollars and was a Hollywood epic movie joined by top Hollywood star Peterson...
If this blockbuster were to be released in China, there would be no doubt that it would take the entire Chinese film industry by storm, and there would be no rivals among films released at the same time.
If my "Dream Traveler" meets that "Orc Titan"...
So……
Xu Cancan was really not sure whether she could get any benefits.
So with this in mind, Xu Cancan set the release date for her movie in mid-December to compete with "A Chinese Odyssey".
Her plan was good.
If "A Chinese Odyssey" also starts to be hyped, then Joaquin will secretly find some internet trolls to deliberately stir up conflicts between the two films, allowing the two films to dominate all the headlines in the entertainment industry in December and achieve a win-win strategy.
but……
The hype for "A Chinese Odyssey" completely exceeded her expectations.
This movie...
It's totally different from before when all kinds of hype dominated the spotlight, and even Lu Yuan had no intention of making a splash.
As a result, Xu Cancan couldn't help feeling a little powerless and disappointed.
Around eight o'clock in the morning.
VIP room of Wanjia Cinemas in Yanjing.
Xu Cancan sat silently on the sofa looking at the big screen in front of her.
It is hard to imagine that a CEO of Joaquin would not support his own "Dream Travelers" but instead support "A Chinese Odyssey" from a rival company. If this were to get out, people would definitely not think it is true but would think it is fake news.
But it is true...
"Is this Lu Yuan's new movie?" A middle-aged woman next to Xu Cancan who looked somewhat similar to her asked subconsciously.
"Yes, it is."
"This Lu Yuan used to be the Lu Yuan from that small town? The little boy in your room before?"
"Yes……"
"oh."
The middle-aged woman looked at the big screen quietly, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
…
"Sister, I might be in love..."
"What?"
"Sister...is there a girl named Qin Ya in "A Chinese Odyssey"? She's a newcomer that the company is about to sign..."
"Yes, what's the matter?"
"I...I suddenly feel like I'm in love."
"What are you in love with? What are you talking about in your sleep in broad daylight..."
"Sister, really..."
“…”
Wang Hao was sitting next to Wang Jinxue. When he saw the trailer in front of him, he suddenly turned his head and stared at Wang Jinxue.
Looks very serious.
More serious than ever before.
Wang Jinxue didn't take it seriously.
My brother is just a flash in the pan, and he falls in love with someone after just one look? How casual is love!
She shook her head.
My younger brother is such a bastard.
At this moment...
"Hello, Mr. Wang..."
"Well, hello."
"Hello, Mr. Wang..."
"Um."
Wang Hao, who had always been lawless, suddenly became at a loss after seeing several girls coming in one after another. Especially after seeing Qin Ya sitting next to him, Wang Hao even felt suffocated.
"Hello, my name is Wang Hao and I'm from the company, a singer who hasn't debuted yet..."
"Hello, my name is Qin Ya, and I'm an actress who has not yet been officially signed by the company..."
Wang Hao suddenly felt that Qin Ya's voice was very pleasant, like heavenly music, and his mood instantly became very happy.
at the same time……
His restless heart began to beat up and down.
He had a lot of messy topics in his mind and was ready to have a good chat with Qin Ya to deepen the impression of each other.
Wang Jinxue glanced at her brother, whose cheeks were slightly red, and then at Qin Ya.
"Qin Ya... sit next to me and switch with Xu Lu."
"Oh well."
Qin Ya nodded, stood up, and exchanged seats with Xu Lu.
Wang Hao was stunned.
He stared at Wang Jinxue in disbelief.
Not only did my sister not create opportunities for herself, she even destroyed them.
Wang Jinxue also looked at Wang Hao, but this time her eyes revealed an extremely stern warning.
It seemed to be warning Wang Hao that there were some people he could not touch.
Wang Hao lowered his head subconsciously, somewhat afraid to look his elder sister in the eye.
At the same time, I was also puzzled.
Ever since he started middle school, his sister and family have been very strict with him about dating. They would warn him if there was any sign. He understood it when he was in school, after all, everyone was the same. But after graduation until now...
Why is it still like this?
What exactly should be done?
Wang Hao couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.
Wang Jinxue narrowed her eyes.
She knew that Wang Hao couldn't fall in love casually.
After all, Wang Hao is different from her.
At this moment, a familiar voice with a hint of desolation was finally heard from the big screen. After a few advertisements, the main feature of the movie was finally released.
…
“A-choo!”
“A-choo!”
"A-choo."
Lu Yuan sneezed three times in a row after getting off the plane.
He took the tissue Wu Tingting handed over and wiped it several times, then felt a little puzzled.
We were both staying in the same room, so why did I catch a cold while Jin Xue was fine?
What does this mean?
Is my health really that bad?
Or are there too many people scolding me?
"A-choo."
Lu Yuan sneezed again, then left the special passage and got on Yanjing's special car...
This trip to Yanjing should be smooth, right?
