Chapter Twenty-Six: Am I the Protagonist?
In fact, although the birth of "Death is Coming 2" has caused some companies to decline in performance and create new lows in business, some companies have created a record high in performance, and the products are directly out of stock, and the staff are very busy.
Such as......
Tefal Motors.
According to incomplete statistics, more than 2,000 Tefal cars have been sold in just a few days internationally, and most of the customers have named the same A-class series of cars, followed by some other unsalable series cars due to various appearance reasons......
Clearance!
Teiff took a look at the performance table.
Ha ha!
It took a few days to complete the work that usually takes a quarter to complete, and the profit far exceeded the investment in movie advertising more than ten times, and as long as "Death is Coming 2" continues to play, his sales will continue to soar.
After all, the advertising effect!
After all, everyone cherishes life, and "Death is Coming 2" indirectly blew people's Tefu cars.
In addition to Tefal making a lot of money, the umbrella insurance company is even more crowded, and there is an endless stream of people who come to insure.
Aven's face twitched.
In this wave, the umbrella company directly hung the traveler up, and the stock price rose to a high point!
It's a good feeling to take off!
"The United States must be compensated for its losses!
"Lu Yuan, a Chinese man, he is a sinner!"
"I will sue Lu Yuan!"
“……”
The host Kewei sprays Lu Yuan and his "Death 2" like an old troll every day in the media.
At first, there were still a large number of people responding, but watching some high-level personnel in the United States talk about this matter at all, it is simply thundering and raining, plus Kewei is also scolding his mother in the media, and after rubbing the heat and brushing his sense of existence and doing nothing, these people suddenly feel cold and cold.
They realized that they had screamed in their throats, and that they had to pay for the loss.
Will Lu Yuan lose money?
Can Lu Yuan be sued?
Do you have to win the lawsuit?
Even if the lawsuit really wins, even if Lu Yuan really wants to lose money, will the Motion Picture Association of America let it? Will the entire World Film Association let it?
It's all about glory!
Who can not guarantee that their movie will be a hit and will not affect reality?
If you lose money if you make a popular movie, then who will make a movie......
It's simply not realistic!
So......
The hapless bastards who followed Kvia's shouting platform suddenly realized that they had been fooled.
"We will create a limited edition "Death Comes 2" movie commemorative car to celebrate "Death is Coming 2" to set a new record for horror films!"
At this time, the pot-bellied Tefu staggered to the media, and filmed a sycophant of "Death is Coming 2" very shamelessly, and by the way, he brushed another wave of presence and rubbed the heat.
Tefal looks a little arrogant under the camera.
It's as if he was telling the world that the advertisement for "Death Is Coming 2" was sponsored by our company!
I was prescient!
I'm awesome.
Many companies noticed that the Tefu was making a lot of money this time, and they were upside down.
Everyone was so sour, especially when they saw Tefu's arrogant appearance, everyone wanted to slap him hard.
Envy?
Who doesn't envy it!
So, what to do?
Looking for Lu Yuan with banknotes and looking for remote cooperation, didn't "Truman's World" come to a big operation vigorously before?
Let Lu Yuan make "Death is Coming 3" another wave!
…………………………………………
"Death is Coming 2" was extremely popular, surpassing the global box office of $200 million in just eight days.
That's a staggering statistic.
At least......
In the field of horror films, "Death Is Coming 2" is already invincible.
James didn't stop, after a week of rest, he immediately followed the team to figure out the script of "Death 3".
Of course, "The Grim Reaper" and "The Grim Reaper 2" basically have a complete script, but the script of "The Grim Reaper 3" is quite simple......
In fact, Lu Yuan's script for James "The Grim Reaper is Coming 3" is very simple!
Just one sentence from beginning to end.
"This time it starts at the playground and ends at the subway station...... The way of death can not be heavy, it must not make the audience feel aesthetic fatigue and must be close to reality, and at the same time, the Grim Reaper cannot appear head-on, continue to use this tone, just keep the suspense color, as for how much you invest, you look at it......"
And then what?
And then there was none.
This sentence is similar to the words of advice, which is the script of "Death is Coming 3".
Well, if you really want to say it, the framework of the "Death is Coming" series has been sketched out in the first part, and at the same time, various dark endings have been foreshadowed, and the only thing that needs to be changed is the novelty, close to reality, and the changes in the psychology of the structural characters......
Well, if these are done, "Death Comes 3" will be OK.
As for the investment, you look at it, this sentence undoubtedly directly gave James a huge right.
How much is the right investment?
Dazed!
So many advertisers have approached "The Grim Reaper 3", and all of them hope to put an ad on "The Grim Reaper 3......
In total, it is well over $200 million.
All right!
No doubt......
"The Grim Reaper 3" is another movie that makes money before it is released.
Wait a minute!
Seem......
I don't know since when the "remote" company has been able to make money by making movies with empty gloves white wolf with a movie title?
Earn a sum of advertising fees first, and then make another sum of money when it is released!
Why, double the happiness.
But......
After receiving Lu Yuan's script, James suddenly had an inexplicable evil taste in his heart when he fell into contemplation.
The playground starts, the subway ends?
End of subway......
Previously it was aviation, then it was a car, and now it is a subway......
Wait a minute!
Is the boss in the U.S. transportation industry?
………………………………
March 2.
Sunset.
A young figure wearing a hat walked step by step in the desert, his lips looked extremely dry, and the sun above his head was very scorching, and he was dehydrated from the sun, and the whole person seemed to be extremely difficult to take every step forward.
His throat moved, and he let out a long breath as he looked at the endless stretch of yellow sand in the distance, as if he could never see the edge.
He looked down at his kettle, which was left with only one mouthful of water.
His throat shuddered, he hesitated, and finally instead of taking this sip of water, he looked behind him.
"Archie ......"
“……”
"Archie?"
“……”
"In ......"
"Can you still go?"
"Brother, I'm so thirsty......"
"Hold on a little longer, it's almost there!"
"Brother, the water here, or we want to take a sip!"
"No, I have to go again...... I'll pour you a drink at the next intersection. ”
"Okay......"
Behind him, another young man also followed and walked forward, the young man looked tired, but his eyes revealed a longing.
However, after looking at the young man in front of him and shaking his head, he could only grit his teeth and nod.
They continued to walk one step ahead.
At first, there were about 100 people who came together, but as the journey became longer and longer, these 100 or so people gradually left the team for various reasons, and in the end, only the two young people with faith remained.
This in itself has been a very difficult journey.
However, a sandstorm caused all the water in the young man's kettle to be spilled and disappeared, and he could only rely on the only remaining pot of water from his brother in front of him to survive.
But......
The sky is full of dust.
How long can this pot of water last?
Little by little......
The sun is still hot.
The two walking figures slowed down and began to struggle, and at the same time, an oasis appeared in front of them, and it was only when the brothers rushed to the place with all their might that they realized that it was just a mirage.
"Brother, I maybe, I'm dying...... I can ......."
"Then take a sip, I'll pour you ......" The young man in front hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Good!"
"Brother, have you drunk it?"
"Drunk, drank a lot. ”
"Oh, how much water do we have left?"
"And half a pot!"
"Okay, half a pot, we should be enough. ”
"yes, that's enough!"
“……”
An hour later.
"Brother...... Shall I take another sip?"
"Good. ”
“……”
Half an hour later.
"Brother?"
"Brother!"
"Brother!"
“……”
Sunset.
The younger brother in the back looked blankly at the older brother who suddenly fell in front of him.
He screamed in shock, and when he came to his brother's side, he suddenly found that he was dehydrated all over.
He hurriedly took out the pot beside his brother.
Then he found that there was no more water in the pot......
There is no water at all!
He drank all the water.
"Brother!"
He cried out in a heart-rending voice.
"Click!"
After Xu Qifeng shouted, Lu Yuan, who had been dehydrated and fell to the ground, moved his body and opened his eyes.
The medical team all ran over with all kinds of equipment and water, and tightly surrounded Lu Yuan.
This is a scene in "The End of the Earth".
But......
This scene made the whole crew tremble, and Xu Qifeng even raised his throat in his heart!
This scene could have been filmed without being filmed in the desert, and anything could have been solved with special effects simulation.
But......
In order to have a real effect, Lu Yuan must insist that everyone come to the desert to shoot, and it doesn't count if he comes to the desert to shoot, Lu Yuan proposed to really maintain the state of dehydration, so that there is a sense of reality.
Thereupon......
There was such a heart-pounding scene......
It's too hard!
In fact, filming such a plot is a kind of torture for Xu Qifeng every second.
Every line and expression of Lu Yuan touched Xu Qifeng's soul.
He is really afraid that something will happen to Lu Yuan, then he will really be finished, and he will have to leave a stench for 10,000 years.
But......
After seeing Lu Yuan's normal expression after drinking water, Xu Qifeng breathed a sigh of relief......
The scene that tortured his heart was finally filmed!
Special!
Why did you write this desert scene when you wrote the script before?
Sick!
Half an hour later, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lu Yuan had completely returned to normal.
Later, when watching the replay, he couldn't help but be infected by Lu Yuan's expressiveness.
Mr. Lu's acting ability is really terrifying, and he actually took one shot at this part of the plot.
After reading it again, he suddenly realized that he was cruel.
This script ......
It can't be like that.
If this brother dies like this, then ......
Not good!
He found that he was somewhat infected by the role played by Lu Yuan, as if he was alive.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally came to Lu Yuan's tent.
"Mr. Lu......"
"What's wrong?"
"Otherwise, you can stay one more day, I think you can't die like this in this script...... I want to change the script, what do you think?"
"One more day?"
"Yes!"
"Are you sure?"
"Hmmm......"
……………………………………
A day later......
"Mr. Lu......"
"What's wrong?"
"Or ......"
"One more day?"
"Cough, cough, cough......"
"You've added so many scenes to me, and you're about to put down the protagonist. ”
"It's not, your character is alive......"
“……”
………………………………
Two days later......
"Mr. Lu......"
"One more day?"
"Ahem, ahem, can I stay for two days this time? I suddenly have a new idea......
"Tell me about it!"
"Good. ”
………………………………………
Day after day, day after day.
originally planned to officially finish his plot on March 3 and leave the crew of "The End of the Earth".
But......
Until March 24, Lu Yuan still did not leave the crew of "The End of the Earth", and his "supporting role" plot was not filmed at all......
Xu Qifeng constantly added stories and dramas to Lu Yuan's characters......
And then......
This "End of the Earth" seems to have turned into a two-protagonist drama.
Then, patting again, it didn't seem to taste right.
As the leading actor, Liu Yukun was at a loss.
He's supposed to be the main character, right?
He felt like he didn't know when he was starting to become a supporting character.
Like, weird......
On March 26th......
Liu Yukun suddenly received a call from Xu Qifeng.
"Yukun. ”
"Huh?"
"Why don't we arrange a more spectacular scene for you tomorrow?"
"What?
"yes, don't you feel like your character is a little more popular?"
"But now it's less than half of the shot, and I'm strong, I'm ...... Am I still the main character?"
"You're the main character, right!"
After seeing Xu Qifeng's serious expression, Liu Yukun, who was originally the protagonist, suddenly doubted life.
Is there a protagonist who dies halfway?
