In the rental house.
After filming these three scenes, Lu Hao sat on a small stool and smoked a cigarette. After the crew left, he fell on the bed and stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.
Feeling lost?
Relieved?
It's like a dream, and now, the dream is over.
Sometimes, people fall into nostalgia for the past, often just for a moment.
For example, passing by an intersection where you had hugged before.
For example, you see someone’s favorite milk tea.
For example, when you return home to an empty room, you see a refrigerator magnet that someone has put on it.
In addition to satisfying his past feelings, personally filming such a drama also allowed Lu Hao to reminisce about those past events to the extreme.
"So fucking hypocritical!"
After lying there for an unknown amount of time, Lu Hao cursed and got up from the bed. He went to the bathroom and urinated remarkably, then scooped up some water to flush it down.
The past is over.
…
I opened my phone and took a look at the real-time box office of "Overlord". It is already the end of December, and in five days, Overlord will be out of theaters.
Yesterday's box office was 63 million.
Box office total: 2.998 billion.
Just a little short of three billion.
This is an extremely impressive number. It ranks ninth in the box office rankings of movies released throughout the year. The eighth is the fantasy movie "Sword of Immortality".
Looking up the rankings, all of them are national IPs with big productions and big casts.
His eyes stayed on the phone screen for several minutes, and Lu Hao's mood gradually calmed down.
Counting money can cure all pretentiousness.
Do the math.
The box office revenue of "Overlord" was nearly 500 million yuan, excluding the share from the theater chain and the system.
Adding the previous 150 million yuan and the 50% off card for cinema chains, he could finally afford to buy a cinema chain and officially became a member of the powerful channel.
However, I am not very familiar with this big job involving capital operation. Not only am I not familiar with it, I know nothing about it.
It seems that we still need to find a trustworthy professional team.
After writing this down in his notebook, Lu Hao continued to think about the future development path of DreamWorks.
The films that DreamWorks is about to release are its own "No. 1" and Chu Wen's "Double Food Diary".
Just in time for the New Year's Day schedule.
It can be said that it is not out of date.
As for the Spring Festival prime time period in more than two months, it has always been a battleground for major film companies.
Movies released during the Spring Festival are generally comedies.
After all, it’s Chinese New Year, and the whole family is having fun. Everyone goes to the cinema together and has fun. It’s lively and happy. It’s not appropriate to have a tear-jerking movie.
comedy?
Lu Hao counted on his fingers and realized that it had been half a year. DreamWorks had released several movies. "The Dancing Girl of Izu" was slightly sweet, "Dancing Girl" was very sad, "Overlord" was tear-jerking, and "I Am No. 1" would definitely make many people sad. As for "Double Meals"... it was a definite horror movie.
It’s time to give the audience a sweet taste.
Just as he was thinking about this, the system prompt sound suddenly rang in his mind, like a zombie, which scared Lu Hao.
[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the "Little Three Yuan" achievement: a single film's box office exceeded 3 billion]
Your hard work and talent are highly valued by the system. For the past 175 days, you've been diligent and dedicated, dedicating all your energy to the film industry. However, a balance of work and rest is the key to long-term success. Put down your work and enjoy life. The system has provided you with a luxurious gift package.
[Get prop reward: three-day willful consumption card]
[Three-Day Unlimited Consumption Card (One-time Item): All of the host's spending within three days will be covered by the system, with a maximum daily spending limit of 100 million. After three days, all balances will be reset to zero. Any surplus will not be redeemed for cash.]
[Note: The credit limit on this card can only be used for consumption and is not for any investment, including but not limited to purchasing real estate, collectibles, stocks, companies, etc.]
【72-hour countdown begins】
Um?
To be honest, when Lu Hao saw this card, he was confused at first.
In the final analysis, the system earns its own money. It can get nearly 500 million yuan from the box office of "Overlord".
Now that it has given me 300 million to spend, it can be considered sensible.
When I think about it carefully, I have been here for half a year, and I haven’t spent any money at all. Even if I did spend any, it was all on movies.
Lu Hao didn't think there was anything wrong.
People who have been used to a hard life often engage in retaliatory impulsive consumption after becoming rich, spending money like water, indulging in feasting and drinking, and decorating themselves with a bunch of glittering brand names.
But it didn't last.
To give the simplest example, those who win the lottery jackpot will basically become poor again within a few years, and their lives will be even worse than before.
A mentally mature man knows how to maintain the rhythm of his life, keep his emotions stable, and be calm. He is not stingy when he should be generous, and he is not pretentious when he should indulge himself. He can live in a mansion, drive a sports car, eat at roadside stalls, and sleep on a hard bed.
Lu Hao has always thought so and done so.
Of course, if you don’t spend this money now, it will be wasted, otherwise it will expire.
Naturally, he wouldn't save money on the system.
After thinking about it, I realized that I can’t buy this or that, and I have to spend a small goal every day.
How to spend this?
This system is quite annoying...
Lu Hao couldn't help laughing out loud.
…
…
"Sir, I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. Are you saying you want to book our hotel? For two months?"
Front desk of Mid-Levels Hotel.
The girl at the front desk had a smile on her face, but she was actually cursing in her heart.
Are all rich people pretending to be this way nowadays?
She knew Lu Hao.
And it was very impressive.
Lu Hao is the tycoon who took the green train, booked a presidential suite, and had a Rolls-Royce pick him up, and he booked it for nearly two months.
This matter went viral in the hotel and even the general manager was alarmed.
Later we learned that Lu Hao was a director and an artistic creator, and everyone understood.
People who are engaged in art are usually a bit eccentric, and their thought processes are not something that ordinary people can understand.
But the girl at the front desk never expected that now, at this moment, his pretentiousness would be upgraded!
He wants to book the entire Mid-Levels Hotel!
You know, this is the most luxurious five-star hotel in Shanghai.
Although the location is not very good and is not in the city center, the hardware facilities are more luxurious because of this.
There is a golf course, a hot spring swimming pool, and even a small horse farm.
"I'm not wrong, and you heard me right. You may not have the final say on this matter. Come, pick up the phone and report to your boss."
Lu Hao smiled and spoke in an approachable manner.
A few minutes later, a man in a suit and tie got off the elevator and hurried over here.
