Hollywood.
Duncan, who is in his fifties, already has some gray hair.
Of course, I'm in good spirits.
After all, he has traveled almost all over the world in these five years. How could he not be in good spirits after resting and relaxing for such a long time?
While he was in good spirits, he still had some of the pride of his youth deep in his heart.
Yes, proud!
Just over ten days ago.
The news spread almost immediately in film circles around the world.
That is, a movie that came out of nowhere, "The Legend of 1900", is infinitely close to "El Nino". The Hollywood box office tetralogy "El Nino" is about to become history!
When he saw the news, he didn't care at first. He thought it was just a publicity stunt.
In recent years, how many movies have raised their box office to the level of "El Niño" in order to ride on the popularity of the movie?
But what happened next?
Later, these movies all flopped and were tragic.
A few days later, Duncan suddenly received another message. When he saw the message, he was stunned.
The movie "The Legend of 1900" has been taken off the screen, and with a box office of 630 million, it has officially surpassed "El Nino"!
He couldn't believe it!
I even thought I was dreaming.
When he confirmed it again and again, and even called Hollywood himself to confirm that the news was truly regrettable, he suddenly felt inexplicably upset.
It would be fine if the creator of "El Niño" was a Hollywood colleague...
But when he saw that the creator was actually a Chinese, he suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable!
Of course, he is not as racist as some others.
But I just feel very unhappy!
Where is China?
This is no longer a secret, right?
It is undeniable that China's economy has indeed developed rapidly in recent years, and the entertainment industry has indeed been gradually rising.
But!
Hollywood is always the boss of the film industry!
In Hollywood's eyes, China is just a relatively large market.
It has always been Hollywood movies that entered China, wreaked havoc on China and dominated the headlines. It has always been Hollywood movies that suppressed Chinese movies, and they are the existence that Chinese movies can only look up to!
This sense of superiority is like a brand deep in the soul, making Hollywood look down on China and even the Chinese people.
but……
"The Legend of 1900" suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Not only did it explode in box office and popularity, it even surpassed its own "El Nino" in the end, and its creator was a Chinese!
The whole Hollywood felt a very strong storm coming!
It made them quite uncomfortable!
At the same time, Duncan felt a sense of being provoked, like an eagle being looked down upon by an ant.
How could he bear this?
then……
Duncan finally made a decision at that moment!
He decided to take action!
He called out to this Chinese person on Twitter!
Duncan always felt that the success of "The Legend of 1900" was too accidental, even though the piano music in it was very nice and even though Lu Yuan, a Chinese, had good acting skills...
But it was still accidental!
However, what Duncan never expected was that it would be two days!
Yes, two full days.
James, who had been so arrogant on Twitter, suddenly fell silent. At the same time, Lu Yuan’s reply has not appeared yet!
Although all the Hollywood media were discussing at this moment that Lu Yuan was frightened and dared not respond, and although Duncan knew that this was probably the reason, he still felt very uncomfortable!
He felt as if his fist had been punched hard into cotton with all his strength...
It's really weak and powerless!
He doesn't like this.
What he hoped was that this Chinese person would not be able to bear his ridicule, and would come out to respond to him and say some big words!
When these things had brewed to a certain extent, he would ruthlessly slap his pride down.
Let him know that no matter how hard he tries, he is just a foil, and his so-called talent is just a joke!
It feels good to make him feel extremely desperate!
But……
Not responding to this makes people feel bored.
but!
hehe!
Do you want to escape like this?
Feel sorry!
no!
Since you choose to escape, let me add something more for you!
"Mr. Lu Yuan, I haven't received a response from you these past few days. I've thought about it carefully, and I think you should know what an eagle is and what an ant is. Very good, Mr. Lu Yuan, I admire your self-knowledge... Of course, many times, I have to remind you that it is not enough for a person to have self-knowledge. You also need to be polite, know how to respond to the words of your predecessors, and know... People who escape can only be cowards all their lives... Of course, a company opened by a coward, the people in the company will inevitably be cowards, so, I hope you can come out..."
After this tweet was posted, it was immediately flooded with countless extremely negative comments.
Although Duncan expressed his admiration, he was actually mocking Lu Yuan for being a coward who could only escape...
All the Hollywood media were excited!
Everyone was looking forward to Lu Yuan's response.
If this doesn't respond, then...
This Chinese...
Isn’t that too cowardly?
…
"Boss, have you seen Duncan's tweet? I really can't help it. Who does this guy think he is? What is he? He is just an old and outdated guy. Oh, God! Boss, I really can't stand it... just respond!" James was going crazy on the phone!
“…”
"Boss, even though this guy is very powerful, we don't have to be afraid of him. Really, we can definitely give him a fight. I don't think the box office of my "Wolverine" can be bad. Boss, how about I respond to him on Twitter! Let's not keep silent anymore, people are saying this about us!" Andor was obviously angry on the phone.
“…”
"Fuck, Ayuan, your marriage is such big news, and you didn't fucking tell me? Ahhh! Ayuan, I'm going crazy, really, I'm going crazy, you've really changed, you used to come to me whenever there was any big news, but now you won't come to me even if there is news, you are no longer the same Ayuan! Also, Ayuan, Duncan over there has been so much ridicule on you, saying that you are a wimp, are you really going to be a coward? Impossible! This is totally not your character, what are you holding back, can you tell me? I want to be an exclusive!" Zhou Shuai yelled several words on the phone angrily, and after venting, he asked Lu Yuan with a very expectant mood.
“…”
"Ayuan, something happened in Hollywood. I felt very angry after hearing such provocation, but why didn't you respond at all? This is really unlike you!" Fatty Wei also called in surprise.
“…”
afternoon!
Yes, Lu Yuan has been answering the phone since the afternoon.
The "remote" companies in Hollywood are now very dissatisfied and all very angry.
Almost everyone was filled with righteous indignation and couldn't help themselves!
After receiving these calls, Lu Yuan appeared on the international news and saw that Duncan was mocking him and even provoking him in a very unpleasant way.
Lu Yuan suddenly felt a little angry.
What's wrong with this person?
Do I fucking know you?
If you ignore him, he will still jump around happily?
In fact, when Lu Yuan faced the first provocation, he was actually very calm.
Especially after getting the marriage certificate today, for some reason Lu Yuan suddenly felt that his life had reached a new level.
Climbing the stairs is like a boy turning into a young man, it feels like a lot of things have changed!
It seems that apart from a home, nothing else matters.
As for Duncan’s previous provocation?
Lu Yuan somehow felt that it didn't matter.
Eagle and ant, do you have the final say?
If you say I am an eagle, then I am an eagle. If you say I am an ant, then I am an ant?
Why don't you fly up into the sky and let me see?
Lu Yuan found it extremely funny.
but……
But today.
When people almost pointed at him and laughed at him for being a coward, and even scolded the company for being a bunch of cowards, he was really angry.
finally……
He took a deep breath.
"Brother Zhou..."
"A Yuan!" Zhou Shuai suddenly became very excited on the phone!
“You have a Twitter account, right?”
"have!"
"Okay, I'll take a video and send it to you."
"Oh my God, Ayuan, are you finally going to explode? I'm already starving for news!" There was an excited shout from the other end of the phone!
“…”
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan was silent for a while, then took out his phone and started taking a video...
"Mr. Duncan... First of all, let me make it clear that I am not a coward, and no one in my company is a coward..."
"Secondly, Mr. Duncan... Please forgive my ignorance, and you can understand my arrogance. Of course, you have the final say on these things. After all, I don't know you, and before this, I didn't know who you were..."
"I always feel that there is no need to respond to the provocation of a stranger. What do you think? After all, who is the eagle and who is the ant is never decided by anyone."
"Later, I found out that you were the creator of "El Niño Monster". I deeply regret this. At the same time, I also want to apologize to you. Um, sorry... I accidentally broke your box office record. I didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to make a movie casually, but who knew... Hey, I won't pretend anymore. I'm going to be frank. In fact, I'm very busy. Really, I'm very busy..."
"I never mean to show off, but you have to know that the person you are talking to now is a screenwriter, poet, writer, lyricist, director, actor, pianist, game developer... Oh, sorry, I seem to have too many identities, Mr. Duncan, I hope you can understand, after all, having so many identities is really too tiring!"
"Since... you insist that I give you a polite response, then I can only respond to you."
"Oh, by the way, I'm also the boss of an entertainment company that's neither big nor small. In fact, as the boss of an entertainment company, although I don't want to, I have to make an advertisement. By the way, the company is currently making a lot of movies, such as Mr. Andor's superhero series "Wolverine", Mr. Thompson's "Star Wars", Mr. Forrest's "Rocky"... Everyone is very busy, and I really don't have time to complain on the Internet... Oh, sorry, sorry, I swore. As the screenwriter of these movies, I should be a very qualified person..."
"Of course, the company has other things, so I won't talk about them. After all, I'm busy too. I'm also busy with a $200 million movie, Titanic! Oh...really...it's my first time to be such a big director...really, the pressure is huge. In fact, I just want to be a salted fish who eats and waits to die. Why? Mr. Duncan, can you tell me why I'm so busy?"
"I remembered again, I am still a singer... I will release an album soon..."
"Oh, the pressure is so great! I have to bear more pressure and handsomeness than I should have at my age. I also want to... relax a little!"
"But fortunately, I'm married! This morning, I got the marriage certificate and I'm married!"
“…”
After Lu Yuan finished recording the video, he hesitated for a moment and then sent it to Zhou Shuai.
About two minutes later...
Zhou Shuai’s call came!
"Ayuan..."
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know why... I really want to hit you!"
"???"
