The box office competition in October was quite fierce.

Hollywood movies may have been a storm in September, but after their release in October, Hollywood movies turned into tornadoes, directly destroying the confidence of several Chinese films with an investment of tens of millions......

Three days before its release, Andorra's "Deep Sea Shark" directly swiped nearly 100 million yuan at the box office, and Little Jackson's "Tough Guy Family 2" was not as frustrating as "Deep Sea Shark", but it also hit nearly 75 million box office, and the midnight horror film "October No. 33" also exploded a wave of box office in China, although it only won 13 million box office, but it was a very unpopular horror film, and the investment was only about 2 million US dollars.

This has set a new box office record for horror films in the past two years.

Hollywood movies are always crazy in China.

Even if many people say that they don't want to support Hollywood and support domestic movies, every time it is released, the audience will inevitably be full, and it will inevitably be followed by countless praises.

There's no way around it.

Why?

After all, other people's special effects, other people's details, and many other people's situations are better than Chinese movies, what can you do?

In this case, the situation of Huaxia films seems very awkward.

The Chinese films released at the same time, after the premiere, word of mouth and box office hit the street one after another, and the number of films scheduled three days after the release of two movies was exactly the same as "October No. 33......

What can you do about this?

Perhaps, the only Chinese movie that can compete with Hollywood movies in October is "War Blood 2".

"War Blood 2" did not disappoint everyone, the reputation of this movie is very good on the tomato network, the score has reached 8.8, and at the same time, the total box office in three days is also quite brilliant reaching 80 million!

Eighty million?

Yes, eighty million!

even surpassed "Tough Guy Family 2" by five million.

This is quite a feat.

After seeing this result, almost all the Chinese fans were excited!

"War Blood 2" has become a fighter, competing with Hollywood movies in the name of Chinese films, although there is no hope of winning the box office in October, it is basically the most brilliant stroke in Li Mingrui's directorial career.

All major headlines are vying to report the news of "War Blood 2", and some media have praised "War Blood 2" as the foundation work of Chinese film counterattack, and Li Mingrui is even regarded as a hero-like figure.

Li Mingrui is naturally very happy, when he surpassed "Tough Guy Family 2", Li Mingrui got drunk that night and was overjoyed!

"Blood of War 2" is on fire!

Yes!

Much more popular than "War Blood"!

……………………………………

in the offices of the relevant departments.

Liu Zhenghao silently watched "Ghost Shadow Record".

In fact, he thought the movie was quite interesting.

The film isn't full of screaming scenes like "October No. 33", and there's not much gore.

It seems to be shrouded in autosuggestion from beginning to end, as well as a strange sense of mystery.

Yes!

This is different from ordinary horror movies, which are basically full of suspense elements, which makes people feel very flustered.

After watching this movie, inexplicably, even Liu Zhenghao, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, felt a chilly feeling.

"Lao Li, what do you think?"

"Hollywood horror movies?"

"Well, a small-budget horror movie, Xiao Lu's company means to come and screen it in Huaxia......"

"The tone of this movie is okay, there is no bloody murder, or there is a yellow factor in it, I don't think it's a big problem if it is released in the midnight file of China, but there are some hints of ghosts and gods in this movie...... This is somewhat inconsistent with the current Chinese standards......"

"Well, yes, Xiao Lu also understands this, so he asked Hollywood to prepare a second ending. ”

"Is there a second ending? I'll go see ......."

"Well, let's go see the second ending. ”

"Good. ”

The two old men opened the second ending.

Everything else in the second ending is the same, except that later subtitles show that the heroine is missing.

As for where the disappearance went, there was no news of anything, and it was not filmed, just a line of words explaining that the heroine was missing.

After reading this ending, the two old men glanced at each other and nodded to each other.

Compared with the slightly bloody ending in the front, at least this ending is more in line with the tone of Huaxia, and it also does not affect the tension that the whole movie wants to present, and it still makes people feel cold after watching it.

I have to say that this Lu Yuan is really discerning, and he was able to choose such a movie as an agent.

"What do you think?"

"Although there is a ghost in this movie, there is not much disharmony in it, or it is appropriate to give the green light, compared to the Hollywood movie "October No. 33", this "Ghost Shadow" is actually much better, and this year, Xiao Lu has also contributed several films to our Chinese movies to give us a long face, I don't think it should dampen his enthusiasm. ”

"Well, I think so too, after all, it's the first Hollywood film he represents, and it's okay to relax appropriately. ”

"Yes. ”

The two old men looked at each other, and each felt a hint of approval in each other's eyes.

Then the two nodded at the same time and knocked a stamp on this "Ghost Shadow" that was approved and allowed to be screened......

"Whew!"

"By the way, how is the box office performance of "War Blood 2"?"

"It's good, if nothing else, it's not a big problem to be second at the box office in October. ”

"Well, that's good, I'm getting older, and I've finally seen a glimmer of light in Chinese movies. By the way, "The Assembly" is almost ready, right?"

"It's a month or two. ”

"One or two months ......"

Liu Zhenghao nodded thoughtfully, and then looked into the distance.

He exhaled slightly.

A smile was revealed.

The editor of "The Assembly" is Xiao Lu, right?

Not bad!

This young man is really good!

………………………………

October 5th.

The box office war in October is still in full swing.

Lu Yuan felt very happy.

"Ghost Shadow Record" was handed over to the relevant departments yesterday, and the results were released this morning.

The result was that it was released, and at the same time, I heard the staff of the relevant department secretly tell Lu Yuan that the two leaders of the department had a very good impression of themselves.

Lu Yuan was very happy.

Although horror films have always been not very good at the box office in China, they are basically very good at keeping their capital and making small profits, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, isn't it?

And the total investment of this "Ghost Shadow Record" is only less than 100,000 US dollars, even if Huaxia loses again, where can it lose?

As long as you sell more tickets, you can make money.

Similarly, what makes Lu Yuan even happier is that the second half of "Journey to the West" was officially launched today.

In fact, it is not an official start, the entire plot of "Journey to the West" is actually one, but Lu Yuan is very pleased in his heart, after all, many things are different after completing the first part.

Although it is the same movie, there are many things that are slightly different.

An Xiao is the protagonist in the first half of "Journey to the West", but An Xiao is not the protagonist in the second half.

She's only a supporting role, and she's only in a few scenes.

It is impossible for An Xiao to wait until "Journey to the West" shoots her own shots and then come back, after all, she doesn't know if she is free at that time, so she chooses to shoot the shots in advance, and just clip and insert them after the whole movie is over.

A few scenes of scenes were not difficult for the entire crew and An Xiao, and they were all filmed in two days.

Evening......

There is no sunset in the distance, and there is no sunset.

An Xiao looked at the sky, and then knocked on Lu Yuan's office.

"Lu Yuan......"

"What's wrong?"

"I'm leaving. ”

"Uh...... When are you leaving?"

"Tonight's plane at eight o'clock. ”

"Leaving tonight?

"No way, the company has an event tomorrow morning, in October, it's very busy. ”

"Oh, in that case, I won't keep you anymore, what about your luggage?" Lu Yuan subconsciously looked at An Xiao's side.

"The agent and bodyguard helped me take me to the car, I'm not like you, I don't even have a bodyguard by my side, and I ...... carry my luggage" When he said this, An Xiao suddenly showed a smile on his face that seemed to be reminiscing, "Lu Yuan, do you remember the scene when we first met?"

"Remember ......"

"I also remember that the events at that time were as vivid as yesterday, and they actually dragged me to the front desk of your company for no reason...... Ha ha. An Xiao suddenly smiled very brightly.

"Khan ...... It's not that I don't know you, if I do, I'll pull someone else. Lu Yuan was a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, if one day, I really become your front desk, will you be surprised?" An Xiao looked at Lu Yuan's embarrassed appearance and was still smiling.

"No surprise...... On the contrary, it will be very scared of heart disease. Lu Yuan shook his head, and suddenly became very serious.

"Why?"

"You are worth a lot of money in the entertainment industry now, please don't move you now, and I won't touch you in the future...... Spend tens of millions to hire a front desk...... My family, there is really no mine......" Lu Yuan looked at An Xiao and shook his head repeatedly.

"You really don't have any humor. An Xiao felt that Lu Yuan was quite annoying.

"No, An Xiao, in other cases, my humor cells have actually exploded, "Journey to the West" has proven me, but under some specific principle issues, it is impossible for me to be humorous. Lu Yuan laughed.

"What particular principle?"

"There are principles of contract, money, copyright, etc. involved. Lu Yuan was still laughing, "I'll be very serious about this." ”

"Just kidding, a little politely?"

"yes, what if I'm joking and suddenly a fool takes it seriously......? A lot of things come from the mouth. ”

An Xiao glanced deeply at Lu Yuan again, and then shook his head.

"Lu Yuan, I'm leaving. ”

"Well, have a nice trip...... That's right......"

When An Xiao walked to the door, Lu Yuan suddenly thought of something and stopped An Xiao.

"What?"

"There's a song...... I'd like to talk to you about it......"

"What song?"

"The theme song of the movie. ”

"You're done?"

"Well, it's written. ”

"Show me. ”

"No, now is not the time...... And if you keep talking, you'll be late. ”

"Can I know what the name of this song is?"

"The Love of My Life". ”

“……”

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay...... I'm leaving. ”

"Okay, then I'll wish you a smooth journey now. ”

"Hmm. ”

Lu Yuan didn't go to see An Xiao.

Instead, he silently watched An Xiao leave the house.

Lu Yuan felt that An Xiao was weird, psychologically speaking, this girl might be a little into the play.

Lu Yuan analyzed it and felt that he couldn't send it.

That's for the best.

But......

About ten minutes later, An Xiao knocked on Lu Yuan's door again.

Lu Yuan looked at An Xiao who came back very strangely.

"I want to listen to this song, and I'll leave when I'm done. An Xiao suddenly laughed: "It's easy to kill obsessive-compulsive disorder if you say half a sentence!"

"Huh?"
