Early morning of June 3rd.
Lee Da-jun waited for the box office numbers the next day with anticipation.
The box office performance of "Blood Battle Earth" on the first day was indeed amazing. This amazing data made Lee Duojun feel inflated and wanted to compete with the gods.
He suddenly felt that Lu Yuan was nothing special.
wrong!
Not only Lu Yuan is no better than this, even Hollywood movies are no better than this.
The total box office of the Hollywood science fiction film "The End of the World" on its premiere day was only 30 million.
The premiere of the movie he wrote and directed was five million higher than his.
What does this mean?
This shows that, in a sense, I have the ability to challenge Hollywood.
Isn't this considered expansion?
Li Duojun's next plan is to let Xu Dongsheng contact overseas markets, turn "Blood War Earth" into a global movie and get global box office. If he's lucky, it might even rank among the top 50 in the global movie box office.
Sometimes, confidence just happens.
At this moment, he even wanted to call the famous Hollywood screenwriter Sovia!
He wanted to say hello to her...
You "Red Dragon" won't give us our company!
Feel sorry!
It has absolutely nothing to do with it!
My "Blood Battle Earth" is in no way inferior to your "Red Dragon", and it can even surpass your Red Dragon!
you……
What is that?
Li Duojun felt a little proud and comfortable, but in the end he did not call Sovia because of his personal quality. He knew that there was no need for him to offend Sovia.
After all, Sovia is a well-known screenwriter in Hollywood.
His emotional intelligence is not so low.
Anyway…
Without saying anything else, the whole of China will usher in my movie era, right?
Li Duojun's smile deepened.
He subconsciously clicked on Tomato.com...
Then……
I saw all the bad reviews on Tomato.com and the scores were getting lower and lower.
He doesn't care at all, these things can't hit him at all!
So what if the review is bad?
So what if the reputation is bad? Aren’t these movie fans eager to watch their movies? Aren’t they all honest in words but dishonest in body?
Just when he was feeling a little disdainful and looking down on Chinese movie fans, his cell phone rang.
Xu Dongsheng asked him to go to the office.
The boss Xu Dongsheng's voice seemed very low and sounded a little weird.
Li Duojun was very strange.
When he arrived at the office, he saw Xu Dongsheng comparing the data over and over again with a serious expression, and his assistant Xiao Chen was standing beside him with a pale face as if he was facing a great enemy...
“Bang!”
Just when Li Duojun was about to say something, Xu Dongsheng suddenly slammed the table with his fist.
The table made a dull sound, and then Xu Dongsheng threw the documents to the ground.
Li Duojun was startled for a moment.
"Mr. Xu..."
"have a look."
Xu Dongsheng's expression was calm and his voice sounded calm, but Li Duojun could tell from his slightly trembling body that he was trying hard to restrain something.
Li Duojun felt an indescribable rage emanating from Xu Dongsheng, and this fire seemed to devour everything!
He subconsciously bent down to pick up the information on the ground. When he saw the information, he was stunned.
The data shows the box office data of "Blood War Earth" yesterday. The data is...
Seven million!
Li Duojun flipped through it several times in disbelief, thinking he had seen it wrong. However, when he confirmed it once and confirmed that everything was correct, his eyes widened.
The office is very quiet.
You could hear a pin drop. Li Duojun felt like he was having trouble breathing and didn't even know what to say.
Just like that, about thirty seconds passed.
"The box office has plummeted..." Xu Dongsheng suddenly spoke.
"Boss Xu, this... could this be..."
"Don't doubt it, this box office data is true."
"this……"
“You don’t have to be too discouraged. Ours is not the one with the biggest drop in box office among the movies released in June. There is another movie with a bigger name, which only took four million at the box office yesterday… From 40 million to four million, such a huge gap… Hehe.” Xu Dongsheng suddenly laughed. It was a strange smile, and he was always suppressing the emotions that he could not express.
He was disappointed.
However, he did not lose heart.
Such a huge dive for "City Fortress" already shows that this movie is over and there is absolutely no hope.
But there is still hope for "Blood War Earth". If it can maintain the 7 million data per day, plus some box office revenue from overseas markets, it should barely make a small loss, not a big loss...
At least, it's acceptable.
“Four million…?” Li Duojun muttered the number.
The data of "Blood War Earth" can be considered fantasy, but damn, how come this "City Fortress" is more fantasy than it?
this……
A movie that claimed to make 1.5 billion yuan is just so disappointing?
…
Joaquin, Taiwan Island Branch.
Sammul Chan looked at the box office data.
Then, he was so shocked that he sat down on the chair, unable to exert any strength in his body, and even felt like the end of the world was coming...
Forty million and four million!
What kind of gap is this?
It's like the difference between heaven and earth!
Oh shit!
What a joke...
you!
Can we still play like this?
Chen Jianfeng took a deep breath, his mood instantly sank to the bottom and he broke out in a cold sweat.
He suddenly realized that he might be doomed.
It was he who proposed and initiated the project "City Fortress".
It was he who assured the head office that this film would definitely make money and would definitely become a monument in the history of Chinese science fiction films!
Although Han Lu's traffic in the past two years cannot be compared with Lu Yuan's, his fans are actually extremely amazing. As long as half of his fans can pay for a ticket, it will only take a few minutes to surpass Hollywood movies.
Ideals are beautiful.
The investment was nearly 300 million, half of which was provided by the company and the other half by investors.
Everyone can actually accept it.
The first day's box office success also prompted Sammul Chan to prepare a celebration banquet, ready to reward Han Lu and the leading actress.
but……
The box office revenue of 40 million on the first day and 4 million on the second day is really amazing.
Just when he was confused.
The phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Xu..."
"I...I, I...I don't know, I..."
"I was wrong, I..."
“…”
After I thought about it for a long time, Chen Jianfeng still couldn't come up with anything to say.
The word of mouth was bad, the box office was bad, and it felt like everything was in a hopeless situation.
How long does it take to get from heaven to hell?
It doesn’t take long, sometimes it only takes a day!
Times of Day……
Heaven and hell.
"Boss Xu! We still have a chance. Yes, tomorrow is Saturday. As long as we let Han Lu do some activities to attract votes, the box office will definitely... be good!"
Finally, Chen Jianfeng said this sentence with his last thought.
He is pinning his hopes on tomorrow!
There was just silence on the other end of the phone.
Sammul Chan immediately called Han Lu, and on the phone, he told Han Lu about a series of publicity and vote-buying matters.
Han Lu's voice on the other end of the phone sounded weak, and seemed to be full of disbelief.
…
"What the hell!"
"Oh my god, what are these two movies, Blood Wars and Fortress? I couldn't watch them halfway through in the cinema. They are really eye-catching. Isn't it a waste of life to watch such movies?"
"Yeah, I thought Blood War Earth was bad enough, but I didn't expect this City Fortress... Oh my god! It completely changed my worldview!"
"It's an eyesore. I've read the novel of City Fortress. The novel is okay, but your movie is really..."
"It's the end of the world, and you're still in a relationship, you're awesome. Also, what's wrong with your hairstyle? At this time, why do you still have such a handsome hairstyle?"
"Is this a soldier? Oh my God, I can't believe it!"
"Han Lu, please, don't brag about 1.5 billion in the future. 40 million and 4 million, damn, are you crazy? Such unprecedented data will appear. Oh my god, did Joaquin help to brush the data on the first day and forget it on the second day?"
"It's possible. After all, Joaquin had a history of cheating on the box office when he was filming A Chinese Odyssey. Joaquin has a criminal record!"
"right!"
"Do you think we are fools for making a movie like this for us to watch?"
"Blood War Earth" was a complete flop and the plunge was crazy.
This is the most insane diving movie shot in recent years. Compared with Shen Lianjie's "Capital" and "Blood War Earth", it is not even worthy of being mentioned.
certainly……
Often times there are accidents!
If "City Fortress" had not been released, the title of the king of bad movies would probably have been taken away by "Blood Wars Earth".
But……
City Fortress is out!
Fortunately, it appeared in the public eye and took a wave of criticism for "Blood War Earth"...
On the Tomato Movie website, there was a lot of scolding...
On Tieba and Weibo, cursing has almost become a hot search word.
In short, "City Fortress" is a hit!
It’s totally a hit!
Basically, no matter which media software you use, you can see a lot of curses.
Of course, it did set a record.
In the past, the most criticized person in the entertainment industry was always Lu Yuan, who often did something ridiculous. Although most of the criticism was just a joke, since the release of "City Fortress", Lu Yuan has retreated to second place, and there is a tendency for him to be surpassed by the third place "Blood War Earth"...
Doesn't this count as setting a record?
The mocking comments towards Lu Yuan also disappeared, and there were even countless positive comments.
In short.
Inexplicable.
The criticism of Lu Yuan's some outrageous actions seems to be somewhat whitewashed...
However, amidst the double tragedies of "Fortress" and "Earth vs. the Dark World", another film that was predicted to fail by all media outlets, "You Are the Apple of My Eye", suddenly appeared in the public eye.
The rating on Tomato.com is very high.
The box office was also not low.
On the second day of the movie’s release, the box office of "You Are the Apple of My Eye" reached 20 million!
It breaks through the limitations of Chinese youth films in one fell swoop!
On the third day, not only did the movie’s box office not decline, but it hit an astonishing figure of 21 million!
Netizens were shocked.
Anyone who has seen this movie suddenly felt a wave of nostalgia.
Or rather...
Some people's past youth appeared in "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years"...
…
Joaquin Headquarters.
Xu Cancan looked at "City Fortress" produced by her own company and "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" produced by "Remote" company...
Although the two are not the same subject, but...
There is really no comparison.
She went to see the movie "You Are the Apple of My Eye" this morning.
When she first watched it, she was smiling, but after she finished watching it, she found her eyes were wet.
Youth always comes with some regrets.
After thinking about the scenes during the Spring Festival Gala...
She suddenly felt a sense of empathy.
When the protagonist shows up at the heroine's wedding, everything starts to change.
The kiss suddenly made sense.
It seems that everything has become different.
After watching the movie, she made a point of looking at the screenwriter of the movie.
The screenwriter's name is Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan...
She knew that the screenwriter was Lu Yuan.
