00:00 on the morning of September 29th.
When the EBY auction website froze the final price and data, and marked two bright red and large words "Deal", "Lu Yuan's Dinner" finally came to a perfect end.
There were sounds of gasps, sighs, praises, murmurs of disbelief, and glasses falling...
All kinds of sounds appeared in the second half of the night, which was not too long.
People refreshed "Lu Yuan's Dinner" and looked at the transaction price and the winner over and over again...
It feels like a dream.
Yes, in a trance.
A dinner.
It was sold at an astonishingly high price of eight million.
Moreover, the person who spent eight million dollars to buy this dinner was not a wealthy person or an artist but the British royal family!
"Princess", "Queen", "Lu Yuan", "The most expensive dinner in the world"...
These countless words flooded the official media of various countries and major portals on the Internet.
People began to spontaneously watch the story of "Lu Yuan's Dinner" on the Internet over and over again.
Its origin, its development, its end...
You can always see that although the versions are expressed differently, the ending is the same.
Reporters, directors, screenwriters...
People from all walks of life all smelled a scent of repression and madness.
British Royal Family!
Then……
What does it mean to have dinner with the royal family?
A symbol of status!
The supreme and unparalleled status!
Suddenly, people realized one thing!
Lu Yuan, the center of all storms, the center of all discussions, Lu Yuan...
he!
27 years old!
At only 27 years old, he has endless potential and unlimited possibilities.
So what kind of crazier myths will this young man create in the future?
…
No one knew that Lu Yuan, the person at the center of this incident, was not very excited.
He even had an extremely complicated expression.
The morning of September 29th.
Lu Yuan silently looked at the rising sun outside the window, feeling dazed.
The pressure from being a British royal family member was too great, and he was very distressed at the moment.
What should he prepare for dinner with the British royal family, and what kind of gift should he give to Princess Julia?
money?
Are you kidding me? Are they short of money? They spent 8 million to take pictures of their dinner. Am I going to pay them back for the 8 million?
Isn't that stupid?
Pearls, gemstones? Luxury goods? Toys? Cosmetics?
Would Princess Julia be short of these things? Lu Yuan felt that he really didn't know much about these things. Even if he really spent a lot of money to prepare them, people might still look down on them and treat them as garbage and put them aside.
You said, you don’t bring anything for your birthday?
Aren't you even more stupid? Who would go to someone's birthday party empty-handed? It's okay to embarrass yourself, but if you embarrass China, that would be a lot of fun.
After thinking for a long time and still unable to come up with any clue, Lu Yuan let out a long sigh.
All right.
Even if we put the gift issue aside, when I attend such a high-end dinner with the royal family, do I need to learn a lot of aristocratic etiquette all over again? Do I need to find an etiquette consultant?
Besides that, should I pick out some clothes and start planning what to say at dinner? After all, they spent so much money on dinner, so my headquarters might just do what Dean Kayla did and just copy some movie ideas and economic development situations from the original world, right?
And according to Lu Yuan's understanding, this time when he goes over, Princess Julia will definitely ask him to talk about art and music...
So, now I have to start brushing up on some less popular music knowledge?
As Lu Yuan thought about it, he suddenly felt his head swelling.
"Why……"
Lu Yuan let out a long sigh. Somehow he felt like he was about to become depressed.
final.
He shook his head!
Forget it, there is still a month left, I'd better take my time. The important thing now is to find a way to complete the "Titanic" crew, and at the same time, we have to start preparing for the auditions for "Titanic".
Lu Yuan took out the work progress log of "Titanic" and began to think about it seriously.
After thinking about the assistant director for "Titanic", Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment and finally took out his cell phone to call Carl and Jackson Jr.
The workload for the movie "Titanic" is really huge, and Lu Yuan definitely can't handle it alone.
He needed an assistant director, and one wasn't enough.
About half an hour later, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
"Boss, you're looking for us?"
"right."
"Mr. Karl, Mr. Jackson, please take a seat first."
"oh."
Little Jackson and Karl looked at each other, and then looked at Lu Yuan.
"You two, I don't want to say anything. I asked you to come here today because I hope you can help me shoot "Titanic" and be my assistant director..." After seeing the two of them, Lu Yuan stated his purpose directly.
"Ah? Boss, we, want to be your assistant directors?" Little Jackson and Carl looked at each other, both of them saw some speechlessness in their eyes, and then asked subconsciously.
"Yes, I know you have always been a director and rarely serve as an assistant director, but please take a look at the script and concept of this movie, Mr. Carl. I know that your King Kong is being prepared, but I hope you can put King Kong aside for now and help me shoot Titanic first, okay? I am both the protagonist and the director, and I am afraid that I can't handle it alone..."
“…”
After listening to Lu Yuan's words, Karl hesitated for a moment, and finally took the thick script from Lu Yuan's hand and began to read it.
After watching for half an hour, the confused expressions on their faces gradually became solemn.
They can see one thing from the detailed script, the characterization, and the huge investment in the entire shooting plan!
That is...
Lu Yuan is going to do something big!
Yes!
And it is the biggest investment movie they have ever seen!
Comparable to...
The former "Titan"!
"Boss, can I ask you a question?"
"Ask."
"If we can make this movie Titanic well, how much do you think it will do at the box office?" Carl stared at Lu Yuan with a serious expression and suddenly asked this question.
"Mr. Carl..." Lu Yuan was silent for a while, then stood up and turned to look at the sky outside the window, nodding leisurely and seriously: "If there are no accidents, it will probably get more than one billion US dollars in box office worldwide!"
"More than a billion dollars..."
Carl and Little Jackson looked at each other again.
They were terrified!
Invisibly, he seemed to be frightened by Lu Yuan's words.
To date, Hollywood has only had two movies that grossed over $1 billion!
One is Titanfall, directed by Lorrain. The remake plus a series of versions just broke one billion dollars worldwide!
The other is "War and Roses" by legendary Hollywood film director Nino!
This is a crazy movie that once swept the whole world and set off a mythical craze.
His global box office is 1.5 billion US dollars, which is a terrifying record that no one can shake to this day.
Carl's throat trembled.
His first thought was that Lu Yuan was crazy, but then he subconsciously stared at Lu Yuan's back.
In the sunlight, Lu Yuan's back was like a mountain, and he could only look up at it.
If someone else said this, he would think that person was crazy.
but……
This person is none other than this.
It’s Lu Yuan!
He had every reason to believe that what Lu Yuan said was true.
And little Jackson had the same expression as Carl.
"Boss, I will think about the script carefully when I get back."
"Me too."
The two nodded.
"good."
After Carl and Jackson left, Lu Yuan continued to look carefully at the casting issues of "Titanic".
Titanic needed a lot of extras, and these extras came from all walks of life, including those from the upper class...
The actors in "The Legend of 1900" could be more casual, but the casting of a grand movie like "Titanic" had to be taken seriously.
There is no need to think about Lu Yuan, an artist in the Hollywood entertainment industry.
Although they can't do anything to Lu Yuan for the time being, they have restricted their own artists tightly. At the same time, they have also warned some other marginal artists in Hollywood, saying privately something like "If you participate in the 'Long Distance' movie, we will not use you in the future."
In short, "remote" is not big now and is quite weak overall, so these actors dare not offend these film companies at all.
It's easy to find actors from all walks of life. If you don't look for actors from other countries on the fringes of Hollywood, aren't there enough? At worst, you can find some ordinary people or even go to the slums to find some people to play cameos.
All kinds of people.
Although this idea is a bit unorthodox, Lu Yuan feels that it can be implemented.
They may not be able to play other people, but they can play themselves, how they live their daily lives, and how they act now, don’t they know how to act?
There is nothing more suitable than acting yourself out!
etc!
When he thought of this, Lu Yuan's brain trembled.
An extremely crazy thought appeared in his mind, even crazy to the core!
He thought of "The Legend of 1900"!
Thinking of this, he took out his cell phone.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Lu Yuan?"
"Mr. Bruce, do you have the list and contact information of those who signed up for the dinner?"
"Ah? I have all of these!"
"Mr. Bruce, can you do me a favor?"
"What's the matter?"
“I want to organize an event!”
"Activity?"
"right!"
“…”
Half an hour later, Lu Yuan lay in a chair with his eyes closed after talking with Bruce about the activities.
bring it on!
bring it on!
Let the whole world go crazy!
Since we want realism!
Then, just feel the ultimate reality!
Afterwards, Lu Yuan was silent for a while and called Dean Kayla of the University of Southern California.
"Hello, Dean Kayla, I hope to work on a project with your school's screenwriting team!"
