When the dinner incident finally subsided, September was gradually coming to an end.
People don’t know how they spent September. They only know that their emotions are like a roller coaster, reaching the peak, falling into the trough, and then rising again...
People are beginning to realize that Hollywood today has a completely different flavor than before.
What was Hollywood like in the past?
The Hollywood film industry used to be peaceful yet flourishing.
Almost every month, there are excellent movies that set new records at the box office. Almost every six months, there are some blockbuster movies. At the same time, there is a star in the entertainment media who gets all kinds of attention almost every day...
Either become famous overnight, or fall overnight, or...
This is the current situation in most of the international entertainment circles. In fact, people have become accustomed to the decadent and decadent pace of Hollywood, and they also feel that this is an entertainment country and what a world film palace should look like.
but!
Ever since Lu Yuan set foot on this land, the American entertainment industry has gradually changed, with an indescribable feeling of "the wolf is coming".
Interested media began to compare Hollywood and China's entertainment industry. Then, they realized that the current Hollywood entertainment industry was actually the early Chinese entertainment industry. Even the patterns of change at the beginning were exactly the same...
All of this is the beginning of being ruled.
After reaching this conclusion, some media outlets immediately published a lot of concerns on their own portals, Twitter, and some programs about the "future of the Hollywood film industry," as well as concerns about the American and international entertainment industries.
Of course, their words did not receive much attention from anyone. Many netizens liked their posts, but that was just a lot of likes...
They couldn't generate any heat at all.
Why?
because.
The eight major Hollywood companies ignored these media.
Of course, we are not complacent or look down on long-range attacks.
after all……
With Lu Yuan taking the lead, the development of long-range forces gradually became extremely fierce, and there was already a terrifying momentum that was difficult to suppress.
The evening of September 30th.
This is the last day of September.
Of course, this also happens to be exactly one month after “remote” movies like Batman were released.
Then……
The Hollywood film industry is once again dominated by "remote" movies.
Batman has already earned $260 million in the United States in a month, which is $10 million higher than the final box office result predicted by McVey. The total box office result of Batman worldwide is extremely exaggerated, reaching an astonishing $600 million, directly refreshing the latest box office data of Hollywood superhero movies. Duncan's "El Niño Monster", one of the four Hollywood movies, showed an evil smile that shouldn't be there...
It is only a matter of time before Duncan's El Nino surpasses El Nino and ranks among the top five Hollywood box office movies.
This is a very cruel statistic.
This data represents one thing, that is, Duncan, the once respected figure who symbolized the pinnacle of the film industry, has now been slammed down on the beach. After being surpassed by "The Legend of 1900", he was surpassed again by "Batman"!
It was fine that he was surpassed by "The Legend of 1900" and became the fifth brother, but now he has unexpectedly become the sixth brother in less than a year...
Tsk tsk!
How unlucky this is!
After looking at Duncan's miserable face, people suddenly began to sympathize with the old man.
Andorra's "Wolverine" had a less impressive global box office, but it also earned 550 million. In this "remote" internal competition, Andorra was defeated. As for Shen Lianjie's "Superman", although it was not as good as these two crazy movies, its global box office also reached an astonishing 350 million US dollars, breaking Shen Lianjie's personal record, and then made a lot of money...
After seeing this scene, Xu Hong, who was on vacation in the Maldives, wanted to slap himself.
Although he has retired from the entertainment industry and is preparing to enjoy his retirement, this sense of frustration is becoming more and more serious.
Looking back on his life, it seems that except for having a good life, everything else was a complete failure?
Compared to the explosive performance of several "Long Distance" films, the performance of "Arrival" and "Skull and Bones" is very disappointing.
No matter how hard Century Studios tried to promote and save Arrival, the box office was still mediocre, with less than 80 million in global box office, which was a loss that made people want to cry. However, Skull and Bones was better, with more than 100 million in box office, which barely broke even, but in fact...
With such a comparison, everyone wants to cry.
There was a gloomy feeling in the Hollywood film industry in September.
The eight major Hollywood companies also felt endless humiliation, and Andrew felt even more painful when he saw the film industry being dominated by “remote” movies!
He is an extremely proud man.
He can fail, but he cannot be defeated.
He wanted to stand up, pin Lu Yuan to the ground, and beat him up!
That night, he stayed in the office and locked himself up for a long time.
It was not until the early morning of October 1st that he looked at the dawn and took a deep breath.
He picked up the phone.
"Rick...how are you doing with the preparations for the new movie?"
"Mr. Andrew, I have already made all the contacts. Now, I am just waiting for your order. You can start whenever you want!"
"There is a Chinese saying that it is better to do it today than to wait for a day. So, let's do it tonight!"
"Ah? Tonight?"
"Yes..." Andrew nodded and then remained silent for a long time. Finally, he added, "I plan to invite Lu Yuan and a few others to participate in the event!"
“What? Mr. Andrew, are you…are you sure you are not kidding?”
"Do you think I'm kidding you now?"
"Won't."
"The first benefit is that Lu Yuan can bring us traffic. The second benefit is that I want to show Lu Yuan our true ace lineup! This will be one of the biggest movies ever made in Hollywood! I want to tell him that his Titanic has to stand aside!"
"Okay, I understand!"
After finishing the call with his assistant Rick, Andrew hesitated for a while, and finally took out his mobile phone again and called Columbia Company!
…
"Mr. Andrew, I understand what you mean."
“…”
"Mr. Andrew, that's actually what I meant. Since you're planning on October 1, I'll choose the same day as well. In fact, we have many of the same ideas!"
“…”
Wilson of Columbia also saw the "remote" movie being screened.
Compared to Andrew's anger and determination, he was slightly better.
For him, Columbia did not suffer any serious consequences in September, so the deep-rooted feeling would be less severe.
But the humiliation of "America 1900" still exists, and the entire Hollywood circle is still laughing at his cheating operation, saying that he is a blind man!
so……
He was also holding back his anger.
After he finished his phone call with Andrew from Century Company, he suddenly felt extremely excited.
At the same time, there was a hint of hatred and anticipation for the upcoming exhilaration in his eyes.
Lu Yuan!
Lu Yuan!
I know you are awesome, and I know you are strong!
But what can you do?
…
Early morning of October 1st.
"Mr. Lu Yuan, should my notice be..."
"Not today. Not today."
"Why?"
"Today... is October 1st!"
"Ah? October 1st is..."
“It’s my country’s birthday!”
“…”
Lu Yuan originally wanted to do something big that would drive the world crazy.
But after seeing the date, he finally chose to postpone this important event for two days.
October 1st is not a big deal for the United States or other countries, but for Lu Yuan this date is China's birthday.
On Huaxia's birthday, he suddenly showed up to cause trouble, attracting the attention of Chinese netizens and even the attention of the whole world. This was an extremely disgusting thing for Lu Yuan.
Even if the relevant departments did not say anything to Lu Yuan, even if Lu Yuan really did it, he would not suffer any serious punishment given his current situation, but Lu Yuan still would not do it.
There is no reason, just because he is Chinese.
Although the American time is about thirteen hours behind the Chinese time, it is already evening in China and the series of flag-raising ceremonies and military parades have ended, but it is still October 1st, isn't it?
During this period, he gave everyone in "Remote" a short vacation so that they could go to Yanjing to watch the movie. At the same time, when most movie media in the United States were showing the movie "Remote", two media under Lu Yuan's control withdrew all reports on the movie and began to show "Huaxia Military Parade", "Huaxia Flag Raising" and a series of other things...
although……
No one suggested he do this.
certainly……
For Lu Yuan, this is not something to brag about and he can talk about it on various occasions.
This is simply imprinted in the soul and must be followed, like a bottom line.
The bottom line is that no one is allowed to break it, right?
At nine o'clock in the morning on October 1st in the United States, Lu Yuan received calls from Century Company and Columbia Company.
After answering the phone, he fell into deep thought.
After a while of deep thought, there was a knock on the door.
Then……
Fatty Wei and Zhou Shuai walked in one after the other.
"Ayuan...the two companies invited us to attend the launch conference of their new movie and sent us an invitation letter. Should we go?"
Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment after looking at the two people's strange expressions.
"Then go and have a look."
"Maybe it's the Hongmen Banquet?"
"We'll know after we take a look. I have nothing to do today anyway."
"good!"
