October 20th.
“What was the final box office?”
"Six hundred and thirty million dollars!"
“Oh my God!”
“Has it really surpassed it?”
“It’s incredible that this part of the movie has surpassed the Hollywood movie El Nino?”
"Oh my God, this... this astonishing data, more than 10 million US dollars, this... is terrible!"
"Oh my god, the Hollywood film studios must be having trouble sleeping, right?"
"Of course!"
“…”
"The Legend of 1900" has finally been officially announced to be taken off the air after much anticipation from the public.
With a global box office of 630 million, it surpassed the astonishing box office of 10 million for "El Nino".
This moment...
The whole of China was in an extremely boiling state!
For a while, Lu Yuan’s Weibo was filled with countless messages of congratulations. Even the relevant department’s Weibo posted a rare post praising Lu Yuan’s name.
This is an extremely glorious existence for the entire China.
Although this movie is considered a Hollywood movie, in fact everyone knows that from its birth to the final production, everything about this movie grew up under the witness of Lu Yuan. Who is Lu Yuan?
No matter how much Lu Yuan was hated, ridiculed, and criticized in China before, everyone felt a sense of pride!
Who is Lu Yuan?
It's Chinese!
Not a Chinese American, not an overseas Chinese, but a thorough, native Chinese.
Even if they enter Hollywood, it is not like some Chinese actors who climb up step by step by bootlicking their way forward.
brutal!
Yes!
brutal!
Lu Yuan entered Hollywood and exploded into Hollywood in a very brutal way.
Did he get any gifts in Hollywood?
Not at all!
Even when he first entered Hollywood, he was banned and suppressed in various ways by Hollywood. These things spread to China and even aroused a lot of sympathy in the country.
but……
What are these things?
Lu Yuan has proved with his talent that even if you guys in Hollywood want to suppress me, I can still make a name for myself in Hollywood. Theaters, media, wherever you try to stop me, I will stand up from there!
Then……
A funny expression that says, "I just like seeing you want to ban me but can't."
The birth of "Saw" completely broke this ban and suppression, and even turned these so-called things into a joke.
As for the birth of "The Legend of 1900", it shocked everyone in Hollywood!
Yes, shocked!
This movie has taken Hollywood by storm...
but……
"Haha, the record-breaking success of "The Legend of 1900", I can only say it is cheating! When did the record of "El Nino" set? It was a movie five years ago. The audience of movies five years ago was not as large as it is now, and the Internet was not so developed. What about "The Legend of 1900"? Lu Yuan is a very smart person. He brought in the world's top pianists to make a movie. No matter how their acting skills are in the movie, this gimmick alone is enough to make this movie a hot topic in major countries. So, I think this is cheating, not the quality of the movie itself. I can only say, Lu Yuan, your marketing is really good!" Fleming, the director of Hollywood Century Company, said this sourly on Twitter.
"I agree. I also think that 'The Legend of 1900' is just a marketing push. In fact, just like the previous 'Paranormal Activity', it's all hype. I even seriously suspect that there is water in the box office!" Benjamin also retweeted this tweet and immediately began to question it.
"Anyone who films The Legend of 1900 can make it a hit. This kind of success is not worth mentioning..."
“…”
There were many people in Hollywood who were shocked.
But at the same time, there are more sour people.
They questioned the performance of "The Legend of 1900", and also questioned the historical background of "The Legend of 1900"...
In short, in their opinion, there are too many coincidences in "The Legend of 1900".
Faced with these messy and sour voices, Lu Yuan did not say anything.
but……
But James spoke.
"I also think that the success of 'The Legend of 1900' was somewhat accidental. Why don't you also make a movie like 'The Legend of 1900'? You can also invite world-class pianists to participate, you can also market and promote it! Is anyone stopping you? Sorry, Mr. Fleming, right? I remember that your 'The Temptation' seemed to have only made 10 million at the box office, right? By the way, I remember that the publicity cost nearly 8 million, right? I know what you are going to say. You said that the box office of horror movies is not good. Oh, sorry, I want to say that although the box office of my 'Saw 2' is not good, the total box office seems to have exceeded 100 million... Well, the investment is less than your 'The Temptation', and the publicity investment is less than your 'The Temptation', and the box office... okay..."
"Mr. Fleming, to use a Chinese saying, stop nagging on the Internet. If you have the guts, have a real fight in your next movie!"
“…”
“…”
The box office of "Saw 2" also exploded!
In just one month, the box office of "Saw 2" in the entire Hollywood actually reached 70 million US dollars. The total of subsequent international revenue shares added up to over 100 million US dollars.
The total box office exceeded 100 million.
And it’s a horror movie!
This is indeed a shocking thing.
As soon as this sentence was uttered, Fleming was furious!
Although he didn't understand what "bibilailai" meant at first, he knew it was definitely not something nice like "Fleming, you are so handsome!"
He was so angry that he wanted to pick up a kitchen knife and fight James right now...
However, he knew that this kind of thing could not be done!
We are all people of status. How can people of status do this?
So he took a deep breath.
James still has a very high status in Hollywood. When he was at Paimon, he was also a popular director in Hollywood!
After James's provocative remarks, Fleming should have avoided him logically!
but……
He can't suppress his anger!
With so many people watching, doesn't he have any dignity?
Of course he knew he couldn't be impulsive!
Maybe he couldn't suppress this anger anymore, he had to do it!
Respond to James?
What to respond?
Are you crazy?
You must not respond to James!
Horror movie!
One hundred million!
What a joke!
Who can withstand this data?
Even in the history of the United States, there are no more than twenty horror films that have grossed over 100 million, right?
For a moment, Fleming felt like he was in a dilemma and was ready to find a topic to bring up James' provocation...
But at this time...
Cole of Hollywood Century Company called Fleming!
"Director Fleming!"
"Mr. Cole..."
"Compare with James!"
"Ah? This..."
"Mr. Duncan is here!"
"What? Mr. Duncan? Hasn't he already..."
After hearing this person, Fleming's eyes widened.
Suddenly I felt a start.
Duncan!
This name is really too well-known.
This is a legendary figure that exists in our memory!
Duncan is none other than the screenwriter, producer, and largest investor of the film "El Nino" which was just surpassed by "The Legend of 1900"...
After creating the box office legend of "El Niño" five years ago, Duncan gradually faded out of the film industry. I heard that he has been traveling around the world!
For him, "El Niño" is his peak.
There is no need to pursue anything higher.
Everyone thought he would never enter the film industry again, but now...
He is coming?
"Yes, he is coming!"
"Then he..."
"Yes! Mr. Duncan is very dissatisfied with James' attitude. James' words and deeds have angered Mr. Duncan. At the same time, his opinion on the movie "The Legend of 1900" is roughly the same as yours! He thinks that the Chinese man named Lu Yuan is really good at hype!"
"Then, then..."
"The company will spend a lot of money to promote Mr. Duncan's new movie!"
“…”
When Fleming heard Cole say this on the other end of the phone, he was suddenly startled.
Afterwards, he became extremely excited!
Then...
He took to Twitter immediately!
Then...
He saw Duncan said this on Twitter.
"Some insects jump around happily in the summer, and occasionally climb up trees to look at eagles roosting below, and they feel very proud. But once winter comes, they become stiff, die of the cold, die of insignificance, while the real eagle can always soar in the sky and overlook the earth... Mr. Lu Yuan, what do you think of this?"
“…”
“…”
Duncan's tweet caused an uproar throughout Hollywood!
Duncan showed up?
etc!
The creator of "El Niño Monster" has appeared?
The old and the new are changing, this...
It's sure to be an exciting showdown!
This tweet is so ironic. It seems clear at a glance who is the insect and who is the eagle!
This moment...
All the celebrities in the Hollywood entertainment industry reposted Duncan's words. Except for a few people who had a good impression of Lu Yuan, everyone else was waiting for Lu Yuan's response with a questioning attitude!
Of course, all the Hollywood media was excited at this moment!
The largest international newspaper, the Global Times, even put this tweet on the front page and gave a detailed account of the whole incident.
There is a smell of war in the Hollywood film industry at this moment!
Everyone is waiting for Lu Yuan!
Waiting for the response from this unruly, talented and arrogant young man!
Is the war about to begin?
But……
After waiting for two days, the entire "Remote" entertainment was like a mute and did not respond at all, let alone Lu Yuan's response.
At this moment...
How could Lu Yuan have the energy to care about such bullshit sarcasm?
Even let James ignore it.
In short, just make money quietly.
insect?
Yes, yes!
I am an insect and you are an eagle, you are right!
Just take your time and have fun!
What about me?
I am so...
I'm going back to my country to get my certificate!
