This is a farce that makes people laugh and cry.
December 2nd, noon.
When Lu Yuan announced on Weibo that "there are 50 autographs left in Lu Yuan's Fairy Tales Collection" the rumor was clarified, the public outcry that had made the whole of China laugh and cry was suppressed.
Seeing that the authorities said it was no longer profitable, these old men and women finally stopped.
On the afternoon of December 2nd, after the organizer dealt with the farce, "Lu Yuan's Fairy Tales Collection" finally began its official second-day sales plan.
All right……
It's called a plan, but in reality it's completely useless.
Because of the hype from the grandpas and grandmas and Lu Yuan's appeal, "Lu Yuan's Fairy Tales" sold out in just half a day. 150,000 copies...
In just two days, well, no, it should be said that in less than two and a half days, "Lu Yuan's Fairy Tales Collection" sold 250,000 copies, instantly breaking the sales record of similar children's literature in China and firmly occupying the first place on the list.
Breaking the record should have caused a sensation.
However, this record-breaking event did not cause much sensation, and even only made a few splashes on the Internet.
Well, after netizens saw this sales data and the comparison with the same period, they just gave Lu Yuan a thumbs up with an expression of "as expected, it broke the record again", and then...
Nothing more happened.
Everyone felt that there was no excitement at all, and at the same time, there was a sense of boredom after the intense stimulation.
It seemed that the news of Lu Yuan's record-breaking work was far less shocking than Lu Yuan's sudden announcement of switching to the fairy tale world...
Um.
A record? That's it.
In fact, compared to the influence caused by Lu Yuan's "Fairy Tale Collection", everyone is staring at the release of the one-month and two-day box office data of "Star Wars"!
For them, this is the issue they should care about most and the more meaningful issue.
Why?
No reason!
This is a historic moment.
In the early morning of December 3rd...
Everyone!
Everyone is witnessing history!
…
Nothing in this world remains constant.
"The Human Era" is officially in filming.
Roland originally thought that he could really not think about anything and continue to film "The Human Era" seriously, waiting to create another record.
but……
On October 3, he couldn't hold back his beating heart, and stayed up all night nervously waiting for the total box office data of "Star Wars" to be updated.
He knew it was only a matter of time before Star Wars surpassed Titanfall, but he still hoped that day would come a little later.
Ding Dong
One o'clock in the morning.
He silently turned on the computer and checked the box office information sent by his assistant in the mailbox.
When he saw that "Star Wars" had added 10 million US dollars in global box office and the total box office had reached 1.005 billion US dollars, his heart seemed to be hit by something and it shrank uncontrollably.
This day has finally arrived.
It took 46 days from the release of Titan to the end of the film, and the final box office was 1.004 billion US dollars...
It has only been 32 days since "Star Wars" was released, and the box office in 32 days is 1.005 billion US dollars, directly surpassing "Titan" by 1 million US dollars. Judging from the popularity of "Star Wars" in all aspects and the scheduling of major theaters, this "Star Wars" will probably be broadcast for about half a month!
In half a month, this "Star Wars" might really reach the astonishing box office figure of 1.1 billion US dollars!
1.1 billion...
Oh my God!
this……
There is no doubt that...
"Star Wars" has become a movie that cannot be avoided in the world's science fiction movies!
And Thomson!
This director, who was previously only on the fringe of the first-rate level in Hollywood, has now become a legend in one battle!
The night is very quiet.
Luo Lan closed his eyes silently. He himself didn't know what kind of emotion he was in. He only knew that he would have insomnia tonight. Apart from that, he felt empty...
This day had clearly been prepared.
but……
Still so unexpected.
…
The historical record of science fiction films has officially been broken.
December 3rd.
This moment is officially frozen!
"Fuck, congratulations, Er Gouzi!"
"Oh my god, congratulations to Lu Yuan for setting a new record!"
"Lu Yuan is so awesome. Now he can be called the world's first science fiction screenwriter?"
"Is there any science fiction screenwriter in the world who is more awesome than him?"
"yes!"
"Isn't the Oscars next year going to start in three months? Does this count as locking in the Best Screenplay Oscar in advance?"
“…”
“…”
With the birth of history, the entire international film industry was naturally in turmoil.
"Star Wars" was born, and the war was earth-shattering.
Countless congratulations came from all directions to Lu Yuan's home where he was taking care of his baby. Lu Yuan was so busy answering the phone that his hands were almost cramping.
However, Lu Yuan was not very happy. Instead, he felt a hint of indescribable anxiety.
Yes!
anxiety.
But from the beginning of November to now, Lu Yuan has not heard any news about Thomson.
Forrest said Thomson locked himself in his house all day and did not see anyone except for three meals a day.
The world's top psychologists visited Thomson several times, and when they came out they all shook their heads, thinking that Thomson's emotions were somewhat abnormal.
It's called depression, but it's not depression. It's called excitement, but it's not...
There is no medicine to treat this strange condition.
With the huge success of "Star Wars", Thompson should have been the biggest winner in life!
but……
At this moment, it seems that Thompson, the director and one of the creators of "Star Wars", has become a little autistic.
Something seemed to have touched Thomson's inner pride, and then...
That's what happened.
Lu Yuan had no choice.
He didn't know what to do in China.
He can only wait for Thomson to come out, or wait until the children are a little older and then go back to Hollywood to take a look.
…
November is the most difficult month in history for Hollywood science fiction releases.
Star Wars suppresses them all.
After surpassing "Titan", it is still hitting the 1.1 billion box office with an exciting momentum. Although the box office is decreasing every day, it is still stable.
And other movies...
The curtain that should not have belonged to them fell amid the huge popularity and glory of "Star Wars".
They should have made a lot more money at the box office.
"Star Trek" produced by Fox has been cancelled.
The total box office barely reached 300 million, only making a small profit, and was finally taken off the screen on the evening of December 3rd. It was replaced by a new movie "The Last Days of Peterson", a comedy also produced by Fox.
Bill, the head of Fox, announced that "The Last Days of Peterson" was a milestone in comedy films. Although the total investment was less than 20 million US dollars, the company predicted that it would exceed 200 million US dollars and become one of the top ten good Hollywood comedies. Well, let alone this, such an almost bragging way attracted a large number of journalists. The premiere was very lively and the results of the premiere were quite amazing. It directly broke the box office of 10 million US dollars on the first day. At the same time, the reputation of the film was also very good. All major media praised the film.
Fox has made a comeback.
On the early morning of December 4, the movie "Prehistoric Creatures" was officially announced to be withdrawn from the theaters. Although it struggled for one more day than "Star Trek", "Prehistoric Creatures" could only break even and did not make any extra money...
Well, after all, the investment was nearly 30 million more than that of "Star Trek". Looking at the box office that had dropped to less than one million US dollars worldwide and the empty cinemas, everyone felt a sense of sadness.
If there is only one movie released in November that can be said to be able to make a lot of money, it must be "Alien" produced by Paimon. The movie was released around December 10th with an astonishing global box office of more than 600 million US dollars.
Smith, the CEO of Paimon Company, should have brought everyone to a celebration party and said a series of blessings.
but……
In fact, it doesn't.
Smith was very dissatisfied with the data of "Alien", and he even thought about challenging the record of "Titan" when the movie was released. After all, "Alien" had the potential in all aspects, but unfortunately it was born at the wrong time and encountered the damn "Star Wars"!
"Star Wars" robbed it of the popularity, screening volume, and box office that should have belonged to it...
Then……
It eventually became stunted.
In the end, Smith got a result that made him very dissatisfied.
Smith was very unwilling.
Finally, he clenched his fist and made a phone call to Lister, the director of "Aliens from Venus".
"Next year, the company will give you all its resources!"
"What?"
“Are you confident that you can surpass Star Wars?”
“…”
"No confidence?"
"Yes! I have a script about time travel, it's pretty good."
"Okay, let's shoot!"
…
December 15th!
"Star Wars" has officially set a staggering global record of $1.1 billion and is officially off the shelves!
It became the second highest-grossing film in Hollywood film history and the undisputed number one in science fiction film history!
Although the company "Remote" is of average size, it has appeared in two out of the four Hollywood movies!
What does this mean?
It means a legend is born!
"Star Wars" directly tore apart the sense of superiority of many Hollywood directors.
but……
"No matter what, Star Wars is not a Chinese movie but a Hollywood movie!"
"Yes, it is a Hollywood movie from beginning to end! Isn't it possible to have such a miracle in this Hollywood soil?"
“…”
After their sense of superiority was torn apart, this idea that they could accept suddenly emerged in everyone's mind.
The sense of superiority continues once again in a completely new way.
…
“Beep, beep, beep!”
"Hello?"
"boss!"
"Thomson? Oh my God, Thomson, are you okay? You've been here for so long, are you okay?"
"Boss, I've finished writing the script for a science fiction movie. I want an investment. I want to make a new movie!"
"That's fine. By the way, what's the name of your new movie?"
""dawn"."
"Okay, how much investment?"
"One hundred million dollars!"
"No problem. I'll give it to you whenever you need it."
"Boss, don't you want to read the script? Aren't you afraid that I'll cheat you out of $100 million?"
"Don't be afraid, because you are the biggest contributor to "Star Wars". I know you are a very good director and screenwriter in Hollywood, who is not inferior to anyone else. Now, you just need to prove yourself to the world." When Lu Yuan said this, he was in a trance for a moment.
as if……
It's like talking to yourself.
"boss!"
"Um."
“I don’t know if Dawn can surpass Star Wars, or if it can create a box office miracle, but please believe that I can prove myself!”
"good!"
