Chapter 566: You Must Be Crazy!
With "Bloodblood in the Night" getting better and better at the box office day by day. Pete's mood is getting better day by day.
Every morning, he is always as excited as a second dog, running to the company with a cheerful pace to deal with some chores of the company, and even humming Chu Qing's "Take Me to Your Heart" when dealing with things, the whole person is full of energy.
Chu Qing is different.
After the initial excitement, he quickly regained his composure.
Isn't it the number one box office?
What's so great, I also won the first place at the box office when I was in Huaxia before, but now Huaxia has become Hollywood, what am I happy about? Is there a difference?
There is no point in staring at the box office all day long, the box office will not get better just because you are staring, and it will get worse if you don't stare at it.
Forget it, just take a good rest in Hollywood during this time, and talk about the rest when you recuperate.
Wait, you said to go back to China?
It is impossible to go back to Huaxia, it is impossible to go back for the time being, even if you really want to go back, you can only keep a low profile, dress up and no one will recognize you and then go back, after all, now you are really standing on the cusp of the storm in Huaxia, and you may not be hacked by this group of stunned literati or other fans when you return to Huaxia......
Low-key, I must be low-key recently.
Anyway, now that I've made enough money, I want to enjoy life, right?
Well, Chu Qing and other stars are really two opposite types, other stars want to be in the limelight no matter what, and they all want to stay on the screen for a while to brush up on their presence, as for Chu Qing?
Chu Qing felt that he had already been in the limelight enough, and if he was in the limelight again, it would be a day.
Chu Qing chose to keep a low profile.
Therefore, in the next few days, Chu Qing stayed in the office of CQ Company, refused all invitations to activities, and either played the league or watched movies during the day, watched them at night, or went out for a walk.
Jiang Xiaoyu was speechless when he looked at Chu Qing's salted fish life, and reminded Chu Qing more than once to be diligent, to keep an eye on the position of an international superstar, and the goal was the sea of Hollywood stars......
However, Chu Qing seems to be lacking in the stars and sea of Hollywood, no matter what Jiang Xiaoyu says, Chu Qing is still a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, nesting in the office and living a salted fish life like an otaku.
This made Jiang Xiaoyu speechless.
I wanted to talk about Chu Qing well, but I didn't know what to say for a while.
But after Jiang Xiaoyu occasionally thought about Chu Qing's current achievements, he suddenly inexplicably didn't know what to say.
Chu Qing is now basically infinitely close to one of the few superstars standing at the pinnacle of China, and unlike them, other superstars are single developments, either singers or actors, but Chu Qing is blossoming in many ways, and it can even be said to be exaggerated, almost every entertainment field that can say his name has his name......
What else do you want a superstar to do when he achieves so much?
Moreover, there seems to be not much work suitable for Chu Qing to do now.
Making a movie?
"Bloodline in the Night" is in full swing, what movie do you let him make?
Write songs for albums?
Several of Chu Qing's songs have topped the national music charts, and in this era of gradual decline in albums, Chu Qing's previous album "Qingzi" has created a record that all singers can only look up to, and it really doesn't make sense to release an album......
Write, write songs, and make TV series?
None of them seem to fit......
Exposure on talk shows?
With Chu Qing's current popularity, does it need to be exposed? Is it meaningful to be on this kind of talk show?
It doesn't make any sense.
Well, after Jiang Xiaoyu thought about it, he immediately shook his head and stopped talking about Chu Qing, and concentrated on following Pete and began to be busy with some trivial things of CQ Company.
Although, Chu Qing is salted, but the box office of "Bloodline in the Night" is not salted!
On October 15, the total box office of "Bloodline of the Night" exceeded 150 million, and the box office of "King Kong 4" exceeded 120 million.
The gap of 30 million box office in fifteen days has made everyone who pays attention to the box office understand that "Bloodline of the Night" has firmly sat on the box office champion in October, and "King Kong 4" cannot threaten the status of "Bloodline of the Night" even if it takes drugs.
In the next half month, the box office growth of "Bloodline of the Night" gradually began to weaken, although the venue was still full, but compared with the previous few days, it fell a lot, but even if it began to weaken, the single-day box office of "Bloodline of the Night" was still about 11 million, as steady as an old dog throwing off "King Kong 4......
The staff of "King Kong 4" initially engaged in some ticket delivery and variety show activities to stir up the heat, but as the gap with "Bloodside of the Night" became wider and wider, they finally gave up......
"Forget it, Jeff, there's no hope of chasing. ”
"Boss, I know, the box office in October is a foregone conclusion, I really didn't expect this Chinese person to be so strong, and he would directly pull away from our "King Kong 4" so far, I hope it won't be worse than 100 million. ”
"100 million is impossible, even if he is strong in "Bloodline of the Night", there is a weak period, and the gap of 100 million is not so simple to achieve. ”
"Yes, even if the No. 1 box office in history is hot and explosive, it is impossible to exceed the gap of 100 million US dollars!
"Yes, yes!"
In the director's office at Lachi's company, Jeff hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
After talking to his boss on the phone, he regained some confidence.
yes, 100 million?
How can there be a gap of 100 million, I'm thinking too much, right?
It's a pity, there are some things that are good to think about.
October passed in a hurry, and in the early morning of November 1, the final box office of "Bloodline in the Night" was fixed at 370 million, which directly refreshed the previous box office record of 340 million in October, and won the Hollywood October box office champion without any suspense!
As for the box office of "King Kong 4", it happened to be 270 million, which was just thrown off by 100 million by "Bloodline in the Night", and created a record of 80 million in the first and second place box office in the entire United States......
Jeff looked at the data and closed his eyes, only to feel that the world was spinning.
Slap in the face!
A slap in the face.
Bang bang bang in the face.
It's loud!
God, can't you be merciful?
Why are you so cruel to your believers?
What am I doing wrong?
..............................
The glory of "Bloodline in the Night" has finally come to an end.
The total global box office exceeded $900 million!
$700 million, although not as good as the 1.3 billion of "Voyager", the global box office champion in American history, is also on the top ten list of the all-time box office in the United States, becoming a very strong stroke in the history of American films.
Upon seeing this record, Pete almost crunched and fainted again.
In the face of countless interviews, countless respectful and envious eyes, Pete felt what it means to climb to the sky in one step!
Now, he's soaring through the sky.
Such brilliant achievements made Pete feel tens of millions of honors, countless script invitations, countless investment applications flew into CQ like snowflakes, Pete specially found several people to help him choose the script, read the script, and sort out the investment information......
However, Pete and Li Xin are different.
Li Xin forgot who he was after getting great results, but Pete knew who he was responsible for living like this, so he was respectful to Chu Qing, and the first thing he did when he went to the office every day was to help Chu Qing pour tea and water, smiling flatteringly, and the boss kept screaming, full of doglegs......
At the same time, he began to prepare the script for "Bloodline II in the Night".
Now that the funds are available and the fame is there, it's time for the script of "Bloodlines in the Night" to start preparing.
After a month of salting fish in the United States and visiting various scenic spots around the United States, Chu Qing began to think about Huaxia a little.
After all, Chu Qing's roots are in Huaxia.
On November 5th, Hansen returned to CQ.
For most of the month, Hansen was much haggard.
He still didn't give up.
still wants Chu Qing to participate in "Sword Heart".
Chu Qing saw Han Sen again, and under Han Sen's still apprehensive gaze, he handed the revised script of "Kenshin" to Han Sen.
He looked at Hansen, and he had an idea.
The idea of working with Hansen.
After reading the script, Han Sen silently looked up at Chu Qing.
Chu Qing revised the original script of "Kenshin" to a mess, and even changed the story line and script completely except for a few characters who appeared.
Is this still "Kenshin"?
"The name is still the same name, and the characters are still the same characters, but in terms of the plot, I have reduced a lot of incomprehensible philosophies, and tried to dilute this deep level of things so that the audience can accept them, and the rest has not changed. ”
"This ...... This ......" Hansen looked at the script, his eyes a little complicated.
He doesn't know what kind of box office the new script will end up with, but if the two are compared, he knows that the audience will definitely accept the new script over the old one......
The new script looks very simple, but the requirements for actors are very high when filming, and it may be difficult for ordinary actors to control.
Of course, this is not important, the important thing is that after Han Sen looked at Chu Qing's eyes, he felt that Chu Qing must have something to ask.
"I'm willing to invest $30 million to make this film, but the film has to be under my CQ name......"
"You ......" Han Sen exhaled deeply, stared at Chu Qing tightly for a long time, and then shook his head, "This is impossible, the script is produced by Paimon, and I have already negotiated all the investors, you can make additional investments, but it is impossible to hang on to your company." Hansen closed his eyes and shook his head.
"Oh, forget it, I'll shoot it myself. ”
"You, shoot yourself, you ......" Hansen gasped when he heard these words!
"Well, yes, I'm a director, I'm an investor, I'm a star, I'm going ......to shoot myself!
"But...... This script...... It's not your script!" Hansen shook his head.
"As I said, the new script I changed is just the same name as the old script, and I only need to change the name to be completely different from the script of your "Kenshin", after all, all the stories in it are my original, and it is completely different from your script, so it is not plagiarism at all. Chu Qing laughed.
"Chu Qing, why are you doing this, you ...... The director is not a casual person, in case the movie does not work at the box office, it will be a loss, you ...... Think it through. Han Sen felt that Chu Qing was crazy.
"Isn't it tens of millions of dollars? I have money, I'm not bad for money, I lose money, and I want to see if I can be a director. Chu Qing continued to laugh.
"......" Hansen opened his mouth.
Tens of millions of dollars......
If you lose your capital, you will lose your capital.
Are you selling cabbage on the street?
Is it so casual?
When he heard this, Hansen felt that his brain was not very good.
Lose your marbles!
Lose your marbles!
This man is absolutely insane.
Hansen left CQ, and he dismissed the idea of letting Chu Qing participate in "Sword Heart".
He doesn't want to work with a madman!
He will shoot "Kenshin", and he will not change a word of the script to the old script!
He didn't believe that he would lose to Chu Qing.
