There are many Hollywood movies released on November 1st.
but……
All movie fans were surprised to find that all the movies released in November were science fiction movies.
"Aliens from Venus", "Interstellar Voyage", "Prehistoric Creatures"...
These are not only science fiction movies, but you can also easily find many movie stars and big-name actors and actresses gathered here, and there are endless hits!
If any one of these movies had become a candidate for box office champion a year ago, or even half a year ago, it would have been undoubtedly praised by countless major media outlets and countless movie fans.
but……
It’s not a year ago, nor is it half a year ago.
Now is only now!
Perhaps, everything started to change when "Batman" was released and topped the US box office in September.
era……
It has gradually changed.
…
The Star Wars premiere was simple.
There was no premiere event, nor was there any fan meeting like the next door movie "Aliens".
It was simply officially announced that the film would be released, and the ticket grabbing channel was set at 1 a.m., with a simple sentence at the end saying "the first 3D science fiction masterpiece."
This is in stark contrast to the "Aliens" film, which put on a fuss to promote its own film.
In fact, Thomson was somewhat disdainful of the promotional methods of "Aliens from Venus".
He thinks this kind of propaganda is outdated!
and……
When Thomson saw that all the major American entertainment media were filled with news about "Star Wars" and Lu Yuan, he suddenly felt that the promotional methods of "Aliens from Venus" were really ineffective.
after all……
In the face of absolute crushing strength, everything is empty!
No matter how fancy you are, no matter how much publicity you use, I can get it done with just a few clicks of my fingers.
Without a doubt.
"Star Wars" is indeed an absolute power.
Thomson felt a little bloated.
"Mr. Thomson, can you tell me your opinion of this movie?"
"I don't have any substantive comments to make. If I really have to make one, then this is a milestone in the history of science fiction!"
Premiere day is over.
All the reporters swarmed towards Thomson.
Facing countless reporters, Thomson said this without any hesitation and with a very confident smile.
A milestone in science fiction history!
All the reporters were very excited when they heard this!
Then……
"Mr. Thomson, how do you think this movie compares to Titan? Titan was also a milestone..."
“Titan is a classic, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be surpassed. I have respect for it and I also have expectations!”
"Mr. Thomson, you mean..."
“Times have changed!”
"You mean, it will surpass Titans?"
"inevitable!"
“…”
“…”
In the sunshine.
Thomson said this with a firm smile. After saying this, he turned around and got into the car under the protection of his bodyguards.
He didn't know that in a corner, a man in his fifties wearing a hat and sunglasses was staring at his back.
Under the bright sunshine...
The man narrowed his eyes, his expression showing a complicated feeling of being provoked.
Finally, he disappeared in the vast crowd.
…
“Is this 3D technology?”
"I have never seen a movie like this. After watching Star Wars, I watched Alien: The Last Airbender. I had a feeling that I couldn't concentrate. The film also had a grand cosmic background, but I always felt that Alien: The Last Airbender was not as shocking as Star Wars. At the same time, the feeling of laser swords just coming out, computers, robots, and even countless strange-looking alien creatures, all of which left a deep impression on me..."
"The special effects of the movie 'Telekinesis' are amazing. The special effects of 'Batman' were so amazing, and now the special effects of 'Star Wars' are even crazier. Can mature 3D technology be so awesome?"
"This is a grand world background, the Force, laser swords... I found that Er Gouzi's imagination is so rich. In addition, there are these space suits... Although the story is not a great one, I really want to watch it a second time, really..."
“…”
“…”
The Star Wars premiere is over.
China was in an uproar.
It’s not that they have never seen 3D movies. In fact, 3D movies are already very common in the world.
Almost every movie released in recent years has the title of 3D.
3D plus special effects, everything is perfect!
However, since the emergence of "Star Wars", everyone suddenly realized that all the movies they had watched before were half-finished products.
3D movies? Special effects movies?
It's totally incomparable to the scenes in Star Wars.
"Aliens from Venus" was a disappointment and was inferior to the other films.
After watching "Star Wars" and then "Aliens", everyone had the idea that the levels of technology were completely different.
What does it feel like to watch ordinary movies after your aesthetic standards have been raised?
So boring!
"Aliens from Venus" is not an ordinary movie, in fact, a lot of special effects were invested in it.
but……
Who made him encounter Star Wars?
…
Paimon Corporation.
Smith frowned.
My mood fell to the lowest point.
reason?
The reason was simple. He found that Lu Yuan was a cancer that was causing great harm to others.
And judging from the momentum, it’s really going to be a scam.
Very embarrassing.
This film "Aliens from Venus" was produced by their company.
This movie had an investment of nearly 150 million US dollars!
It is a big production among Hollywood commercial films!
He is full of expectations for this movie. In fact, he also hopes to come up with an advertising concept that goes beyond "Titans".
Actually…
He hit!
He has been playing since October.
All major media outlets have been trying to compare "Aliens" with "Titans" to make them competitors of the same level.
This is a kind of heat, a milestone heat.
but……
In October, there was a fight between "Titanic" and "Anthropocene", and "Anthropocene" lost.
His comparisons to "Aliens from Venus" and "Titanic" were completely drowned out by the craze of "Titanic".
Can't create any waves.
In late October, the popularity of Titanic gradually faded, and when he felt that his chance had come...
Lu Yuan's children were born, which caused another wave of crazy popularity, which directly ruined "Aliens from Venus".
End of October.
When Alien from Venus had no chance to compete with Titanfall, Star Wars came out unexpectedly and directly replaced Alien from Venus to compete with Titanfall...
A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree!
After hearing Lu Yuan's roar, Smith was furious but there was nothing he could do.
All they could do was watch Star Wars devour everything from Alien on Venus, tearing it apart like a monster without leaving anything behind.
This is a very sad story.
What's even more tragic is that after Smith finished watching "Star Wars", he found himself completely powerless.
In terms of investment in special effects technology, "Star Wars" completely surpasses "Aliens".
If you really look at it from a professional perspective, all the details in "Star Wars" have reached the pinnacle of current science fiction movies!
Yes!
"Alien" is totally incomparable, not only that, but even all the movies released in November are incomparable!
How much did his movie cost?
He asked his assistant to find a special effects input sheet for "Star Wars" and then closed his eyes.
The investment was about 80 million US dollars, and the cost of the actors and special effects added up to 20 million US dollars, and the special effects...
A total of 60 million was made!
The point is, if Paimon is really asked to do the special effects costing 60 million, he really can't produce the same effect as "Star Wars".
after all……
The entire special effects company and the entire team belong to him. Except for the necessary huge expenses, all the costs in between are saved.
Moreover, although the total investment of "Star Wars" is only 80 million US dollars, if it were Paimon to shoot it, it would have cost at least 250 million!
Why?
Apart from the special effects, don't actors need money? With such a huge investment, they must have invited top Hollywood movie stars, right? Don't they need publicity? The most important thing for a movie is publicity, right?
Won't the major media outlets bombard it?
Don’t we need to do public relations?
but……
Lu Yuan's cost control is driving people crazy.
publicity?
His Weibo and his media are the world's largest publicity platforms!
It is hard to imagine that a person could have such a terrifying influence, actually...
Even all the Hollywood companies combined can’t suppress it!
“I see a whole entertainment empire that has risen up.”
"It's too late!"
"It really might be too late!"
"The time when we had the best chance was when Lu Yuan first entered Hollywood. At that time, we couldn't suppress him. Now, we can't suppress him even more!"
After reading the report, Smith touched his head and said this in the silence of his assistant.
As if feeling...
as if……
Sigh!
…
“I might be wrong!”
"I regret it!"
“…”
There were waves of doubtful voices in the office of the CEO of Sony, one of the Hollywood giants.
"Star Trek" was produced by their company.
After watching "Star Wars", he suddenly realized that releasing "Star Trek" today was a hugely wrong decision.
"Star Trek" collides with "Star Wars", both are set in the interstellar universe.
But because of its influence, "Star Trek" is completely inferior to "Star Wars".
Although today's box office has not come out, the boss Fred is feeling a headache!
He felt that his film was like a small boat that hit a huge ship.
Although it hasn't flipped over yet, the feeling of being shaky is very obvious.
…
After the premiere.
The craze is crazy.
"A milestone in the history of science fiction films!" This sentence bombarded the entire China.
The box office for the first screening hasn’t come out yet, but it’s already starting to explode!
but……
Maybe they think Star Wars isn't popular enough.
November 1st evening.
Lu Yuan rarely appeared in front of the media and was interviewed by major international media at the Yanjing Stadium.
When asked about the box office forecast for the opening day of "Star Wars", Lu Yuan looked at everyone silently...
Then, he smiled very shyly.
"Actually, I don't have very high expectations for the box office of "Star Wars", and I'm actually not very optimistic about the box office on the opening day of "Star Wars"..." When he said this, Lu Yuan glanced at all the confused reporters.
“……”The reporters were all puzzled.
Whether judging from the online reviews or the data from various aspects, "Star Wars" is going to be a hit!
You suddenly said you were not very optimistic.
What does this mean?
This is an incomprehensible operation!
"Well, to be honest, it's probably only around 35 million US dollars!" Lu Yuan smiled naively.
"???"
“…”
perhaps?
only?
Thirty-five million dollars at the box office?
When Lu Yuan announced the box office of 35 million US dollars in front of all the reporters...
The reporters suddenly realized that Lu Yuan, who was smiling silly, was going to cause trouble!
Do things by first suppressing and then praising!
Thirty-five million dollars at the box office...
What is the premiere date of "War and Roses", which is considered the world's first?
Thirty-nine million dollars!
What about the opening day box office of "Titans"?
Thirty-three million dollars!
Lu Yuan, this is...
Just announce directly that it is aiming to become the second in the world, and just say that "Titan" has been defeated!
It’s one thing for others to spread it.
But what Lu Yuan said himself was another matter!
Lu Yuan continued to smile shyly.
Although this kind of pretense is a bit arrogant and a bit stiff.
but……
He suddenly found that this contrast of pretentiousness was really cool!
Since coming to this world, he has never pretended to be so pure!
Just one word: awesome!
…
Hollywood.
Luo Lan stared closely at the young man on the screen!
There is a feeling of being looked down upon!
"Arrogant, arrogant, too arrogant, this person is really..."
“Arrogant!”
…
November 2nd!
Early morning.
Everyone in the film and television industry is keeping an eye on the box office of Star Wars.
Everyone felt nervous.
Andrew was uneasy throughout.
A little panicked.
"Is he really going to surpass it?"
“That’s impossible!”
"this……"
