"Buried Alive" became a huge hit.
The box office on the sixth day reached 11 million. Although it is not as good as the first three movies, it is definitely a hit among hits.
On the contrary, "Capital" was a flop. No matter how hard the heroine Liu Fangfei promoted it, and Shen Lianjie contacted multiple channels for promotion, it was unable to stop the downward trend. On the sixth day, the box office still only increased by two million...
The box office for the whole day was only 5 million...
"Buried" grossed a total of 32 million in six days.
The total box office of "Capital City" in six days was 36 million.
The difference between the two is only four million!
Everyone with a discerning eye knew that "Buried" would definitely be a dark horse at the box office, while "Capital" was the biggest loser of September.
One invested 30 million and the other invested 1 million.
Ahem, ahem, okay, and there is some water mixed in this one million...
This is an extremely ironic reality.
When Shen Lianjie found out, he suddenly became a little withdrawn...
If he could, he would just jump off the building.
A few months ago, he wanted to rely on the box office success of this movie to directly become the box office champion in September.
But now…
Damn...
Now, there is no need to consider whether "Capital City" can sell well. What we need to consider now is how to explain to the investors that such a loss is so big...
After all, it’s impossible to make back the money!
He suddenly felt that everything seemed to be wrong since the sound of those firecrackers.
…
Lu Yihong is a loser.
At least I was once a loser.
I don't listen to the company, I don't want to be an idol and take those TV dramas, I have to be an acting star...
The company felt that he could not make money for the company, so he was hidden by the company and suffered for several years...
Joaquin never thought that Lu Yihong could make a comeback. Even after hearing that Lu Yihong had taken on an art film like "Buried", everyone thought that Lu Yihong was crazy about making a movie.
Everyone is ready to make fun of him and terminate their contract with him completely at the end of this year.
Because this person is no longer of any value.
However, I didn’t expect that “Buried” would become so popular.
The movie became a hit, and Lu Yihong also became popular again, becoming the perfect uncle in the eyes of netizens who has both good looks and acting skills...
After seeing this, other entertainment companies, including Tianyu, sent people to poach Lu Yihong, hoping that Lu Yihong could cooperate with them.
The conditions offered were so generous that ordinary stars simply could not refuse.
Joaquin seemed to see Lu Yihong's prospects and also felt a sense of crisis, so he personally sent someone to discuss the terms of contract renewal with this hidden actor and offered him an S-level contract.
They think that the actor will definitely not refuse the S contract!
Lu Yihong did not refuse in person, but said he would consider it.
But in fact, he no longer had any thoughts about Joaquin, and he had not even thought about staying in Joaquin.
Tianyu is indeed a big company.
If I go there myself, there is a certain probability that I will continue to be popular.
but……
No matter how powerful the fish in the sea are, they are still in the sea. Are there not many powerful fish in the sea?
Tianyu really has no shortage of stars like Lu Yihong. He may have been popular for a short time in the past, but in the future he will still be like a puppet. They have the final say. If one day they are uncomfortable with you and ask you to act in an improper movie, can you refuse?
Do you refuse?
Okay, continue to hide, and then your life will be ruined.
Lu Yihong doesn't like this.
He has his own pursuits and dreams.
At this time, he thought of Lu Yuan's "remote" entertainment.
There is no doubt that this is a shell company that has no strength at all and does not even have any artistes!
Everyone thought it was a joke, or even worse than a joke.
But wasn’t it also like this before Buried?
Now what?
Moreover, after Lu Yuan raised the investment and Professor Zheng Guolong suddenly called him and asked him if he was interested in making a movie and introduced Lu Yuan, Lu Yihong felt that Lu Yuan was an extraordinary director.
After all, creating something from nothing is a very difficult thing in itself.
But Lu Yuan did it, and he also proved that everything he did was right.
He felt that Lu Yuan was a genius with great strategy, planning, and all arrangements. Moreover, from the moment he registered the company "Remote" Entertainment, Lu Yihong felt that he could sense Lu Yuan's ambition.
Yes, ambition!
He felt that Lu Yuan was really an extraordinary person!
Lu Yihong felt that his decision was not wrong...
Therefore, he must become a general of the new company in the future, or at least a veteran.
…
Lu Yuan couldn't sleep.
This was the only time Lu Yuan suffered from insomnia since coming into this world.
And all night long.
People are like this sometimes, suddenly they don't know how to go or what to do...
Will get lost.
"Baozi, freshly baked big baozi!"
The lady selling buns at the bun shop on East Street in Hengdian opened the steamer and kept shouting in a familiar voice. A group of people not far away heard the shouting and gathered over excitedly without stopping, not even caring about the mud on their faces after filming a night scene last night.
Lu Yuan squatted in the corner and lit a cigarette, silently watching the extras and the steamed bun lady, and then looked around at the other busy people on the street...
At this moment, he suddenly felt a little confused.
It seems like everyone has their own things to do and everyone lives a fulfilling life.
So, what should I do in the future?
Be a star?
Stop talking nonsense. You look ordinary and you are not qualified to be a handsome boy.
Make a living by talent?
Do you have talent?
Bullshit!
All I have in my mind right now are a few rough movie scripts, some songs, piano and guitar pieces, what else?
What else can I do if I lose these things?
I can't do anything.
Make a movie?
Although I have been cramming my knowledge about movies recently, and I was also studying carefully when filming "Buried" and was different from the newbie before, but compared with Fatty Wei, there is a world of difference. Some things really cannot be made up overnight. Isn't the gap really too big?
Be an actor?
I have never acted in a proper movie, can I really be an actor?
Writing a novel?
The story in the novel about a traveler from the original world crushing others all the way to the top seems unrealistic to Lu Yuan.
He didn't have such a good memory to copy popular novels such as "Zhu Xian" and "Battle Through the Heavens", nor could he really write a complicated script. He could only write some simple scripts that remembered the plot...
He knew that his success was really accidental, and that there must have been someone who had supported and helped him behind the scenes.
There is even a high probability that Wang Jinxue is helping him behind the scenes.
It's a bit bland and speechless!
The world of decadence and extravagance is indeed something that people yearn for and find satisfying.
but……
People cannot lose their wisdom.
Because he knew that he was too weak, Lu Yuan tried hard to learn acting skills, directing skills, actor rules and other things during this period. He didn't want to suddenly become at a loss one day...
I became unable to do anything and lost the ability to live in this world...
call!
No matter what, I should just act in "The Wanderer" first. This is a chance to prove whether I can do it or not. Besides, it's a true performance. At most I can just shoot it a few more times. It shouldn't be a problem.
The hotel and other things also need to be arranged, but we have to wait until we have some free time after the filming of "The Wanderer" is finished to arrange it.
The rent is due today. I had originally planned to leave after Buried came out, but now it seems like I can't leave for a while, so I might as well pay for another two months.
Oh, by the way, I am going to Venice with Director Zhang Tong tomorrow...
My passport should be issued today and I can prepare to go to Venice.
Venice...
I have never been to this legendary water city.
By the way, I have never been on a boat. If I go there, I have to take a boat. Anyway, I have money now and I can’t treat myself badly, right?
call!
Let’s leave it this way for now.
When he thought of this, the confusion in Lu Yuan's eyes lessened a little. He put out his cigarette and stood up.
We can only take one step at a time.
At least I'm better off than when I first came into this world and was as poor as a dog, right?
"Madam boss, give me two buns and a bowl of soy milk."
"Okay, wait a moment."
"Wait, you are Lu Yuan?"
"Um?"
"Wow, it's really Lu Yuan! Much more attractive than in the MV!"
"Wow, Director Lu, what's your next movie going to be?"
"Director Lu, I heard that you are going to Venice with Director Zhang Tong tomorrow?"
"Director Lu, are you and An Xiao really not related?"
"Director Lu, I heard that you really embezzled 800,000 yuan. Is that true?"
"Director Lu, I believe in you. Don't let the trolls online make you lose confidence! I look forward to your new movie!"
"Yes, I believe you too!"
"Wow!"
"???"
Lu Yuan, who was originally planning to buy some soy milk and buns to eat, was stunned when he saw the men and women who suddenly surrounded him.
What's going on?
Am I famous?
