The weather is getting colder.
Not only did Lu Yuan wrap himself up like a dumpling, but every time he went out he felt the wind was like a knife and it was very painful.
He would look at the calendar every day when he woke up, and hoped that winter would end soon.
You said he was a little weak?
Lu Yuan shook his head.
He doesn't admit it.
Some people are afraid of heat, some people are afraid of cold, this is completely normal, isn't it?
Just like some people love spicy food, some people just can't eat spicy food.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided not to pack his luggage and go home for the New Year.
Um……
Ever since the annual meeting, he suddenly discovered that all the artists in his company were full of energy. Everyone coming in and out seemed to be busy. Living in such an environment, Lu Yuan found that it seemed inappropriate for him to leave halfway. He always felt something was weird.
Lu Yuan was very embarrassed.
What made Lu Yuan even more embarrassed was that the box office of Fatty Wei's "You, My Deskmate" began to shrink gradually.
It was stable at 14 million at the beginning, then it dropped by several million every day. After about seven days, the box office of "My Deskmate" gradually dropped to 8 million...
Fatty Wei stares at the box office data every day and falls into an indescribable state every day.
To be honest, although the box office of "My Deskmate" did not flop, according to the usual data trend, the box office of "My Deskmate" could reach about 200 million, which is definitely a big profit, but Fatty Wei still feels disappointed...
Maybe it was the amazing performance of Groundhog Day and Nomadland, maybe it was the crazy ratio of the cost of The Man From Earth to the final box office, maybe it was the amazing staying power of A Chinese Odyssey...
In short, Fatty Wei felt more and more upset.
Of course, what made Fatty Wei feel even more frustrated was the movie "Assembly".
There is no doubt that "Assembly" is crazy.
Even during the box office recession, the nearly 27 million box office revenues bombarded the entire film industry every day, like a savage beast that made it difficult for films of the same period to breathe. Some films were even forced to exit the market early.
In December, "A Chinese Odyssey" was the king!
In January, "A Chinese Odyssey" became "Assembly."
Is it possible that China will produce another movie that breaks the billion-dollar box office besides "A Chinese Odyssey"?
According to the current box office performance of "Assembly" and the strong support from all aspects of the relevant official departments, is it really possible for "Assembly" to enter China's billion box office club together with "A Chinese Odyssey"?
This moment...
Everyone in the film industry is excited!
In the past, no matter how crazy Chinese films were, they could only serve as a foil to Hollywood, and could only watch Hollywood blockbusters break records and show off...
And now!
In just two months, China is about to produce its second billion-dollar box office movie?
Could it be!
Could it be that...
It seems that our Chinese films have officially begun to rise?
When this idea appeared in the minds of all filmmakers, everyone inexplicably felt a sense of pride!
Some of the older people were so excited that they almost cried!
Yes!
Is this day finally coming?
This day!
They have waited for so long that they even thought they might not see this day in their lifetime!
In recent years, ever since Hollywood movies entered the Chinese market, Chinese films have plummeted in popularity.
At every year's annual film ranking meeting, Hollywood movies occupy the top three spots!
Fourth place…
The only chance is Chinese films.
Although Chinese films ranked fourth, their box office was far behind that of the third place. In fact, at a Chinese box office summary meeting two years ago, the fourth-placed Chinese film was actually twice as big as the third-placed Hollywood film...
This was undoubtedly like a loud slap in the face, leaving some filmmakers in the industry speechless.
This scene is undoubtedly embarrassing!
While Hollywood movies have brought joy and shock to all movie fans, they have also brought an indescribable sense of shadow to China.
As time goes by, when people talk about the annual box office champion, the first thing that comes to mind is Hollywood. When people think of Chinese movies, they think Chinese movies are a rip-off...
But this year…
This year seems to be really different!
So will Chinese films have a chance to turn things around in this year's year-end box office rankings?
Everyone is looking forward to the annual film rankings in February.
Even more than ever before!
…
Although "Assembly" was a box office hit.
But……
"Assembly" is never the headline in the entertainment industry.
The finale of "Dream Traveler" is mediocre, even regrettably unknown.
This is the norm for all hit movies, and it's normal!
But "A Chinese Odyssey" suddenly became very abnormal!
Not only did its release not go unnoticed, it even sparked an indescribable wave of confessions and interpretations.
"I have watched "A Chinese Odyssey" three times, but every time I hear this sentence, I feel a little sad... Once, there was a true love in front of me, I..." The well-known film critic and writer, the Weibo celebrity Wandering Toad, posted a long Weibo post on the day "A Chinese Odyssey" was taken off the screen.
This long Weibo post not only spread the most famous sentence in "A Chinese Odyssey", but also interpreted the last paragraph of "A Chinese Odyssey" like a dog in an article of nearly 10,000 words.
The wandering toad interpreted it very deeply, and at the same time had a good foundation in writing, describing the last sentence as the helplessness of the world, the weakness in everyone's heart, and the unwillingness to miss out...
This article was instantly reposted tens of thousands of times by countless fans, who added their own understanding and analysis below.
In fact, it is proven that if someone starts, and this person has a high status in the circle, then the following group of people will continue to interpret...
Then……
Unconsciously, a storm of interpretations of "A Chinese Odyssey" has formed on Weibo!
Even some meaningless plots in the first half of "A Chinese Odyssey" were harshly interpreted and said to be the key points that will lead to future tragedy.
The group of people who once criticized "A Chinese Odyssey" still exist. The well-known traditional writer, poet and critic Liu Zhenqing has always been Lu Yuan's hater!
After seeing these people over-interpreting "A Chinese Odyssey", he immediately posted on Weibo to criticize "A Chinese Odyssey". Of course, he was still trying to be mysterious and ruin the classics.
If it were in the past, Liu Zhenqing would have attracted a group of people to support him, but now...
Liu Zhenqing found that not only did no one support him, but he was accused by a group of people of being disrespectful to the elderly, narrow-minded, unwilling to give way to young people, and jealous of young people's talents.
These accusations made Liu Zhenqing very angry.
But……
He has absolutely no way out!
After all, "A Chinese Odyssey" has become a huge success, and the popularity is crazy. What can he, a writer, do?
No matter how harshly you criticize yourself, you are just a wave in the ocean, right?
wrong!
It may not necessarily create a wave!
At this moment, Liu Zhenqing suddenly felt powerless, and even felt as if the sky was covered by dark clouds!
…
The storm of interpretations of "A Chinese Odyssey" is like a flame. Once you ignite it, it is difficult to extinguish.
Various versions of interpretations emerged on the Internet, and after interpreting "A Chinese Odyssey", they gradually turned to interpreting Lu Yuan's creative process.
Some people think that Lu Yuan's creation of "A Chinese Odyssey" is actually a satire, and that he actually wants to use nonsense to make everyone fall into a deep-level satire of the past.
Some people think that Lu Yuan has seen through the world, but in fact, "A Chinese Odyssey" is a farewell to first love. After all, the content of the song "Love of My Life" is so sad, as if the lover has passed away.
Some people think that Lu Yuan actually suffers from depression...
Anyway…
There are various versions.
These interpretations created a wave of heat that bombarded the headlines of the entire entertainment industry. All kinds of messy rumors, gossip, and news were simply dizzying and overwhelming!
Lu Yuan’s popularity is crazy!
As Lu Yuan’s popularity went crazy, the popularity of “A Chinese Odyssey” also went crazy!
They suppressed "Assembly" fiercely, and this suppression lasted for five consecutive days...
During these five days, no matter what method Wei Changjun used, he was unable to regain the popularity.
seem……
In January, his "Assembly" completely became the background board of "A Chinese Odyssey"!
He was speechless!
Wei Changjun, who had always been optimistic about the young man Lu Yuan, finally couldn't help but call Lu Yuan at this moment!
…
"Xiao Lu, can you ask your hype team to calm down a bit... Since the release of our movie "Assembly" in January, it has only been on the hot search list for one day. The rest of the time was dominated by your "A Chinese Odyssey" and your scandals... Xiao Lu, "Assembly" is also a movie you wrote!"
"Uncle... I'm sorry, but this is really none of my business. I really don't want to do it, really! Uncle, I'm really wronged. I haven't done anything these days..."
"real?"
"I really don't have anything to do. Believe it or not, I don't have a hype team under me, really..."
"So, what you're saying is that you didn't do anything, and you're occupying the hot spot again for no reason?"
"I... although I don't want to admit it, that's pretty much what I mean... and 'Assembly' is indeed a movie I wrote, but 'You, My Deskmate' is a movie that makes money for me under my company. You see, the song 'You, My Deskmate' is popular now, but the popularity of my movie 'You, My Deskmate' on the Internet has been completely snatched away by 'A Chinese Odyssey' and me. I really... have no choice!" Lu Yuan felt aggrieved.
It was like a mess of tears and snot!
“…”
"Uncle... Damn it! I'm worried too!"
“…”
"Uncle, I've been staying in the company recently. I don't post on Weibo anymore. I try to avoid scandals. I don't take part in any interviews or endorsements. I won't participate in the Spring Festival Gala... I... I really don't know what else I can do..."
Wei Changjun thought it would be fine if he didn't call Lu Yuan, but after he called Lu Yuan, he was so embarrassed that he cried.
He had never seen anyone like this before!
…
Two days later.
The popularity of "A Chinese Odyssey" and Lu Yuan has finally subsided a bit.
"Assembly" has finally made it a little closer to the headlines with the reputation of possibly breaking the billion-dollar box office...
However……
When Wei Changjun saw the news that "Lu Yuan's new song was nominated for the Oscar for Best Song Written for a Film or Television Series".
He was completely demented.
This person!
What to do?
You really don’t want my “Assembly” to come out?
