The sun sets.

The blood-red sunset glowed on the horizon, gradually adding a strange sense of desolation to the land.

Everyone knows that early autumn is coming.

Autumn is supposed to be a sad season when everything withers, but for the entire Chinese film industry it is a season full of vitality.

Data from multiple sources show that the performance of two Hollywood movies, "King Kong" and "Arrival", in China is not as good as that of "Batman" and "Superman". For the first time, when Hollywood entered China, all the attention was on Chinese movies. Even Andorra's "Wolverine" was slightly inferior to "Batman".

This is undoubtedly extremely exciting.

August is sad, but at this moment it seems like the darkness before dawn. The deeper the darkness, the brighter the dawn will be...

"I used to think that Chinese science fiction films were just cheap special effects and low-budget investments, and that they were a joke! Although this sounds depressing, it's not just my opinion, but the current state of Chinese science fiction films as a whole... This state has nothing to do with the relevant departments. In fact, it has to do with this impetuous environment. Yes, everyone is too impetuous and too eager to make a big profit with a small investment..."

"This Man From Earth should be a turning point in the history of Chinese science fiction films. It was a small-scale film that achieved great success at the box office and received great reviews. But in fact, it is a film that has brought many science fiction films into the abyss. Since this film, most Chinese directors have fallen into a state of opportunism and have produced a series of messy so-called science fiction films."

"In a sense, they are all learning from Lu Yuan, but they don't know that there is only one Lu Yuan in the whole of China. Not to mention the whole of China, there is only one Lu Yuan in the whole world. This man's talent and vision are unparalleled. No one can learn from him. After all, those who learn from him will die!"

"Although August was a month of tragic failure, we have to admit that the special effects and plot of Blood War 3 are gradually improving. At the same time, Director Li Mingrui has also broken through his own limits. Not only Li Mingrui, but also Director Xu Qifeng, the special effects in his movie Alien Creatures are comparable to those of Hollywood blockbusters. If you pay attention, you can find that the special effects company is from the same company!"

"The name of this company is 'Industrial Electric Magic!' It is a company composed entirely of Chinese people, and it is also a subsidiary of 'Remote'!"

"Apart from these, have you found anything else?"

"Yes! This time, the battle is not so much a collision between Hollywood movies and Chinese movies, but rather a collision between 'remote' movies and Hollywood movies. Lu Yuan and the entire team behind him have officially set sail for Chinese movies!"

"From the beginning to the end, Lu Yuan has been holding on to this idea. From the time he filmed "Buried", I knew that he is a young man with dreams, talents, abilities and responsibilities. He is truly a role model for my generation!"

"The darkness before dawn has ended. Look forward to the rise of Chinese films!"

Zheng Jianguo, president of Yanying University, posted an article titled "The Rise of Chinese Film" on Weibo.

This article received countless likes, and it became a hot search topic after 8 p.m. on September 1. At the same time, this article was reprinted by more than 60% of Chinese media...

After reading this article, all Chinese movie fans, including the Chinese film industry, are extremely excited!

"I'm sorry, I used to be hostile to Lu Yuan, but now, I suddenly finally understand what Lu Yuan is going to do. I'm sorry, Mr. Lu Yuan, I hope you can forgive me!"

"Although my 'Jiang Lun' is almost going bankrupt, I will still try my best to support it and wait until the day when I see the rise of Chinese films!"

Even among the group of people who had always been hostile to Lu Yuan, Jianglun Company's CEO Xu Dongsheng also reposted the article and made a formal and sincere apology to Lu Yuan in it...

He always regarded Lu Yuan as an imaginary enemy.

But in fact, Lu Yuan had never done anything to him.

After Xu Dongsheng apologized, Chen Jianfeng from Taiwan also reposted the article.

Before, he had always been trying to find ways to trick Lu Yuan. Although he always ended up being torn into pieces and his life in Taiwan was in tatters, he felt extremely ashamed when he recalled his previous interactions with Lu Yuan.

yes……

Lu Yuan, you have never offended anyone!

Afterwards, he also left a message to Lu Yuan to apologize.

After the two people apologized, there were suddenly more apologies on Weibo. I don’t know when it started, but it was flooded with apologies.

Among those who apologized, there were entertainment company leaders who were very upset with Lu Yuan and hoped that Lu Yuan would be finished, netizens who had been blasting Lu Yuan online, and some people who had no connection with Lu Yuan in real life...

"I used to think that Yuancheng was just a shell company, but he proved with his ability that he could pull Yuancheng off the ground!"

"I thought he was doomed to fail in Hollywood, but he used his talent to prove that he could survive in Hollywood! I thought he was doomed to fail when he was suppressed, and that he would fall from grace! But he stood up again!"

"I used to think that everything he did was just a futile effort, but he stood up again..."

"I am ashamed. I thought I could suppress Lu Yuan. But now it seems that I am facing a terrifying behemoth, a mountain that even Hollywood cannot suppress!"

"I'm sorry, Lu Yuan! Please forgive me for the stupid things I did before. At the same time, come on, China Film!"

Another article appeared on Weibo's hot search list and was reposted by everyone, with countless comments and mocking voices like "If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?"

after all……

The author of this article is Xu Hong.

…

It's late at night.

Lu Yuan scratched his head. After reading the countless apologies online, he got goosebumps.

He did not feel relieved, but rather had an invisible sense of guilt.

"Batman" and "Superman" have indeed created an unimaginable level of popularity in China.

However, behind this popularity, I don’t actually have much credit.

The story of Batman and Superman wasn't actually a script, it was a story outline, which became a comic, which became a scripted movie...

In fact, Fatty Wei's talent as a director is simply amazing. Although Shen Lianjie is slightly inferior to Fatty Wei, he is not much inferior. He has had ups and downs in China before because he lost his direction. Moreover, the most important part of "Batman" and "Superman" is actually the special effects!

Yes!

In science fiction films, special effects always come first.

Lu Yuan felt overwhelmed by so many compliments and positive reviews.

but……

He didn't explain anything.

Because he realized that the whole of China really needed such a victory.

Chinese films have been ravaged by Hollywood films for too long!

It is also very humiliating. I have even heard that several Hollywood directors said that they are not afraid if the movie fails, and they will come to China to promote it well, and the movie will definitely make a lot of money, just like the previous "Alien".

What a sad sound!

There has never been a situation like this time where Hollywood movies were overshadowed by the popularity of Chinese movies in China.

In front of the whole country, everything else is secondary!

Everyone needs to be able to hold their heads high, at least once.

this……

Good!

but……

Lu Yuan sat in the office and looked up at the starry sky quietly.

Under the starry sky, I feel so insignificant.

As tiny as an ant.

He lowered his head.

After filming "Titanic", no matter how the box office of Titanic is, I want to make a movie of my own.

A movie that I actually wrote, directed, and starred in myself!

At the same time, I want to compose a song of my own, a piano piece of my own!

It doesn’t matter if you fail, at least you should try your best!

After making this decision, Lu Yuan opened the drawer and took out a notebook.

He wrote four more words on the notebook very carefully.

“I want to do my best”

After writing, he quietly put it back into the drawer.

About half an hour later, Fatty Wei knocked on Lu Yuan's office door.

"Ayuan, the work is done."

"What's up?"

"I mentioned Hollywood to you before in the cinema. A wise man knows how to adapt to the times. I have made a series of plans targeting little Jackson. Let me tell you in detail..."

"Director Wei, I trust you to do the job." Lu Yuan smiled.

"Ayuan..."

"What's wrong?" Lu Yuan was surprised when he saw that Fatty Wei's originally excited expression suddenly became a little listless.

"I suddenly feel like we are strangers..."

"Strange?"

"Yes, when you called me Director Wei, I don't know why, I suddenly felt a sense of strangeness in my heart, as if the distance between us was pulled very far..." Fatty Wei lit a cigarette and sat silently opposite Lu Yuan.

"So, you like me to call you Fatty Wei?"

"..." After hearing this, Fatty Wei's face gradually turned red, and then he slowly put out his cigarette butt. "Although I don't want to admit it, this title is not unfamiliar. It feels like when we were in the old company, you slept on the upper bunk and I slept on the lower bunk..."

"Okay, when there's no one around, I'll call you Fatty Wei, and when there's people around, I'll call you Director Wei?"

"Okay..." Fatty Wei's face continued to turn red. He didn't know why, but although it made sense, it always sounded like self-abuse.

Am I sick?

"Okay, we won't be strangers. No matter how many people there are, you are still the veteran... This company is not just mine. Oh, by the way, I'm going to the United States soon, and I almost forgot one thing." Lu Yuan was slightly stunned when he said this.

"What's up?"

"Please sign this transfer contract." Lu Yuan opened the drawer and took out a contract.

"ah?"

"Ten percent of the shares of 'Remote' Entertainment... The rest of the benefits remain the same as before, 50-50. The same goes for Taiwan!"

"Ah? Ayuan... this..."

Moonlight came in through the window.

On the table.

Fatty Wei shuddered and looked up at Lu Yuan in disbelief.

"I can't sign this!"

"Sign it. The company wouldn't be here without you!"

“I…I…”

Fatty Wei felt a sour nose and couldn't hold back his tears, crying loudly.

In fact, the treatment at "Remote" Entertainment is better than any other company, and Fatty Wei gets a high share of every movie.

This is an unspoken rule, and he is very grateful for it.

After all, it was Lu Yuan who pulled him out of the abyss, and it was also Lu Yuan who made him continue to grow.

This kindness itself is like a rebirth.

And now...

"Don't be sentimental. There are still many things to do in the future."

"Yeah! Good!" After watching Lu Yuan's sincere performance, Fatty Wei nodded.

But I couldn't stop the tears.

Half an hour later, Fatty Wei signed the contract with tears in his eyes. When he carefully put the contract away, there was another knock on the door.

"Come in!"

"Boss Lu, the box office is out, the box office is out, we won, we won!"

“Bang!”

“Crash!”

Amidst a burst of excited and thrilling shouts, Shen Lianjie rushed in with a stack of information, like a madman.

However, because he was too excited, Shen Lianjie fell to the ground, and the information flew in the air...

The whole person is in a state of disarray...
