It's late at night.
Lu Yuan lay in bed alone, falling into an indescribable state of insomnia.
He felt that at this moment, the remote control was like a wild horse that had broken free from its shackles and was out of control, rushing towards somewhere unknown.
He had no idea whether the future would be an abyss or a bright future.
In fact, Fatty Wei's plan was huge and shocking. He even outlined all the plans for "Remote" Entertainment in the next ten years. Behind each plan, there was a compensatory plan after failure. When he explained it to Lu Yuan, he was like a dedicated military strategist.
"Director Wei, have you been preparing for this plan for a long time?"
"Not long ago, I just thought about it when I had some free time..."
"How long is a short time..."
"It will only take about two years. Of course, these plans are still being adjusted, and there can be a variable at any time. I even asked Liu Da to help me come up with a variable formula. In the variable plan..."
“…”
When Lu Yuan thought of Fatty Wei's endless voice and the expression on his face when he described the data in professional terms, he felt a chill down his spine.
He thought again of the time when he first met Fatty Wei.
At that time, Fatty Wei seemed to have ambitions. Of course, at that time, his ambitions were still very simple.
He just wanted to crush Shen Lianjie and become China's new director. He also hoped that "Remote" could become one of the three major entertainment companies in China...
At that time, these were the stars and the sea in Fatty Wei’s heart.
However, as the goal got closer, Fatty Wei's ambition changed again.
he……
All of Hollywood.
wrong!
He wants "Remote" Entertainment to become the world's number one entertainment company!
The crazy and surging ambition made Lu Yuan feel a little uneasy. In fact, he had never thought about this in his life.
However, when he remembered that even if his "remote" entertainment system collapsed, he would not starve to death, his anxiety disappeared...
or……
Give it a try!
At least, I still have a way out!
…
The fourth day box office of "Rocky" is out...
The box office started to drop a little, but even though it started to decline, the box office still maintained a growth rate of 4.5 million US dollars. As for the box office in China, it was almost stable at around 32 million.
Everyone was amazed by this data, even several big Hollywood companies had to sigh that Lu Yuan was truly an incredible person.
A movie starring a small gangster was brought to such an incredible height.
Compared to the gradual rise to glory of "Rocky", "America 1900" is filled with great regrets.
On July 19, the screening volume of "America, 1900" in major theaters began to decrease rapidly. By the evening of July 19, all theaters in Hollywood and China had withdrawn the film.
After all, why is it necessary to release a movie with bad reputation and box office?
We are all businessmen, and what businessmen value most is profit.
Everyone likes to play movies like "Rocky", but what does your "America 1900" mean?
Even if it's Bob's movie, if the market doesn't buy it, there's nothing we can do, right?
We give you three hours of playback, which is actually the best we can do.
Anyway…
While all major media outlets were praising "Rocky", they also subconsciously stepped on "America 1900".
Whether in Hollywood or Chinese media, headlines like "A gangster beats up the best actor and actress, Forrest defeats Bob, a legend falls, a new king is born..." are endless. Don't be too excited.
Just at this moment.
Columbia issued a statement.
"As of yesterday, the full copyright of "America 1900" has been sold to Mr. Lu Yuan for seven million US dollars. In the future, everything related to "America 1900" will have nothing to do with Cobia. I hope Mr. Lu Yuan can cherish this "America 1900". After all, this is very likely to be Director Bob's last work... Maybe it doesn't mean anything now, but in the future, it may be a rare classic..."
…
"???"
"?"
"What is this operation?"
"Is this fake news? No, it's not true. The official of Gbia has announced it. This..."
"Oh God, what's going on? Can you tell me why?"
"The full copyright of this crappy movie America 1900 was sold to Lu Yuan? What does this mean? When Rocky was a big hit, Lu Yuan suddenly made a bold move to buy someone else's crappy movie America 1900? Please tell me, what does this mean?"
"Yeah, what does this mean... I don't understand. Lu Yuan has always been a smart person, right? Why would he come up with such a stupid move now?"
"ah?"
"Don't ask me, I don't understand either..."
"Is Lu Yuan an idiot?"
“…”
“…”
July 20th.
All American media were stunned after seeing this scene.
No matter how wildly imaginative they were, they could never have imagined that Lu Yuan would actually buy "USA 1900" and the full copyright when "Rocky" had defeated "USA 1900" and was about to become a legend, and he spent seven million US dollars!
What is seven million dollars?
Fifty million RMB!
There is really no problem in spending 50 million RMB to buy a good movie like "Rocky".
But what is this America 1900?
It's a movie that has been released for three days and has received terrible reviews and box office. The theaters are kicking it out like they're kicking out rat shit.
Although it is a movie directed by Bob!
But, does this make sense?
Did he buy it to keep as a treasure, saying that this movie was the Waterloo of director Bob, and it can be passed down as a bad movie heirloom in the future?
What a joke, what kind of train of thought would allow someone to play this way?
Could a genius like Lu Yuan do this?
On the morning of July 20th.
Bob, who never appeared in the public media, appeared in the public media with an angry expression.
"Mr. Lu Yuan is a man worthy of respect, but Mr. Wilson, to be honest, I am very disappointed with Mr. Wilson's behavior at this moment. From today on, I declare that I will no longer cooperate with Mr. Wilson!"
“This is an impetuous world. Yes, this world has disappointed me to some extent!”
“…”
One stone can cause a thousand ripples!
Bob's words instantly caused all the media to fall into various speculations.
What does Bob mean?
What did Wilson do? Wasn't it Lu Yuan who took the initiative to buy the $7 million deal? Or was it Lu Yuan who bought the movie out of desperation?
So, what kind of story does Wilson have with Lu Yuan? Did he threaten Lu Yuan?
That doesn't make sense. Lu Yuan is pretty much on his own in the entire Hollywood world, and now that "Rocky" is a big hit at the box office, he should be in high spirits. How could he be threatened?
Just when all the media and all the fans were confused, another revelation came out.
The revelation was made by Bob's son, David, a famous Hollywood producer.
"My father suffered an injustice. Two days ago, Director Wei Wuji came to our house and talked to my father about dreams and the future. He also talked about America 1900. Director Wei felt very sorry. He told my father that in fact, Mr. Lu Yuan saw from the messy editing of America 1900 that the movie was not that bad, so he chose to go to Columbia Company hoping to get the screening rights. He wanted to prove his vision and prove that the complete version of the movie was not that bad and could even become a classic. However, Wilson asked Mr. Lu Yuan for a high price at this time... We thought Mr. Lu Yuan would not buy it, but he really bought it!"
"My father was very touched, but he was also very angry. He was touched that Lu Yuan resolutely chose to believe in him when America 1900 was at its lowest point. He was angry that Mr. Wilson was almost taking advantage of the situation and only pursuing profit..."
“…”
When David revealed this information, all Hollywood movie fans suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of being moved.
Lu Yuan's paranoid and stubborn image instantly emerged!
Even the black fans in China who had been scolding Lu Yuan were infected after seeing this news.
after all……
"America 1900" was at such a low point that Lu Yuan still spent money to buy this movie and put all his efforts into proving the value of this movie. What a great contribution this must have been!
These waves of touching moments inexplicably attracted a wave of fans for Lu Yuan, and even greatly increased the reputation of "Remote".
…
After seeing this scene, Wilson was immediately furious.
Although Bob is a director he respects very much, after the failure of "America 1900", Bob's value is not so high. If he really wants to leave, then let him leave. Anyway, he may not make movies again.
But what do you mean by suddenly jumping out and scolding me at this time?
Moreover, what does the current rhythm of the entire Hollywood media mean?
Wilson's chest rose and fell, he hesitated for a moment, then shook his head resolutely.
"Mr. Lu Yuan, I'm sorry!"
After saying this as if to himself, Wilson announced another piece of news which he believed to be the most true!
"I have never forced Mr. Lu Yuan to do anything. In fact, Mr. Lu Yuan approached me completely on his own initiative. He took the initiative to seek cooperation with me, and the reason for the co-leasing is very simple. His Migos Cinema Line in the United States has been experiencing declining profits recently, and he hopes to cooperate with me. Moreover, among such a large Hollywood company, I think he is very wise. It was Mr. Lu Yuan himself who proposed to buy "America 1900" for seven million. I saw that Mr. Lu Yuan really liked this "America 1900", so I sold it to him as the Chinese idiom describes, 'going with the flow'..."
After Wilson announced this news.
Suddenly...
The truth is revealed!
All the media suddenly began to sympathize with Lu Yuan...
They saw one thing from this news, that is, Lu Yuan, who has always been strong in Hollywood, actually chose to bow his head at this moment.
That’s right!
after all……
No matter how much the box office of "Rocky" soars, it can't stop the declining profits of Migos Cinemas...
The most direct channel for Chinese films to be screened in the United States is Lu Yuan's Migos Films. Since May, the box office of Chinese films at Migos Films has been terrible, while Hollywood movies in the United States have been selling well at the box office, and other theaters have made a lot of money.
This contrast is actually very hard to accept.
In this situation, what can Lu Yuan do?
He had no choice but to bow his head!
Yes.
Everyone inexplicably felt an indescribable sense of helplessness...
…
"We are holding Er Gou back..."
"Yes, our Chinese movies are for Er Gouzi..."
"Hey, I don't know why, I feel so bad."
"Yeah, I feel bad too. Er Gouzi wants Chinese films to be shown in the U.S., but our own films are so disappointing!"
"yes……"
“…”
China.
When all the fans saw this news, when everyone learned about the situation of Migos Cinemas in Hollywood...
Everyone felt sad.
As for several top directors in China, after seeing this scene, they all chose to remain silent.
They had scolded Lu Yuan before, they had looked down on him before, they had also...
But now, they truly realize the many difficulties and sorrows Lu Yuan has faced in Hollywood.
Yes!
Although Lu Yuan is very powerful, he has so many people behind him!
It’s fine that we don’t know how to be grateful, we even often verbally attack Lu Yuan in public…
this……
They suddenly felt a sense of shame, and besides the shame, there was also a strong sense of unwillingness!
yes!
Who would be willing to hold someone back?
…
Remote entertainment.
Lu Yuan felt nothing.
At this moment, he was silently looking at the screening schedule for "America 1900" tomorrow.
Yes!
He plans to release the complete version of "America 1900" in two parts tomorrow!
After reading the screening schedule, Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
He smiled.
In fact, he had no idea where "America 1900" would go.
He just knew.
This movie "America 1900" will definitely not lose money!
…
"Did he really temporarily remove Hua Xia's movies and replace them all with America 1900?"
"yes!"
"It seems that he still wants to struggle..."
"Mr. Wilson, I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling."
"What?"
"Do you think this movie will..."
"What do you think?"
"I have no idea."
"Won't!"
In the office, Wilson shook his head.
In fact, at this moment, he suddenly began to sympathize with Lu Yuan.
Was I a bit too harsh on him this time?
