Chapter 284: What a Fool! (Part 2)
Alice loves the piano.
I also majored in piano music in college.
She didn't know Lu Yuan at all, and she didn't even know who Lu Yuan was, after all, no matter how powerful you are a Chinese star in Huaxia, it is nothing to run to the United States......
However, at one concert she heard a piano piece with a very nice melody.
That piano piece was played by her brother Jack, and it was very relaxed and elegant.
Then she saw the name of the song.
That song was called "To Alice."
When she saw the name of the song, Alice instantly felt a strange feeling.
At first, she thought that this song was written by Jack and composed for her, and instantly she admired her brother Jack, but then Jack said that this song was from a Chinese person.
This Chinese man's name is Lu Yuan.
Chinese people?
How are you Chinese?
This makes Alice weird.
Wrong!
She didn't mean to discriminate against the Chinese people, the Chinese people also have very powerful composers, but the famous composer Alice has heard of it, but she has never heard of Lu Yuan.
Who is this Lu Yuan?
She said it was strange.
From that time on, she began to look up Lu Yuan in the search browser, but at that time, Lu Yuan did not have any reputation in the United States, and even the search browser in the United States could not find detailed information about Lu Yuan......
Alice was a little disappointed at first, but then at the Venice awards ceremony, she heard Lu Yuan's name on the video again.
But from Edward's mouth.
Of course, he also saw Lu Yuan later, and Lu Yuan seemed to have caused some turmoil.
Immediately after Edward's concert, she met Lu Yuan again!
And it's a real person!
Generally speaking, there is a natural difference between real people and videos.
But Lu Yuan is very different.
She found the man weird.
Yes, she was unlike any other pianist, who would be confident and triumphant when he took the stage, and he came on stage with a faint smile and a hint of sympathetic reluctance.
Yes, no matter what others think, she felt that the man was very reluctant when he came to power, as if he had no choice but to go on stage.
And that man is not handsome, at least not as good as Edward, and not as tall as Edward, but this man's eyes have a very strange sense of depth and story.
On that day, she saw with her own eyes the birth of another piano piece, "Lullaby".
On that day, she found that she had been completely conquered by Lu Yuan, a Chinese man.
After that day, she realized that the talent of this Chinese was almost insane, not only a piano arranger, but also a singer, director, poet, and screenwriter......
Subsequently, she found that she could only marvel and became a fan of Lu Yuan.
In fact, when she knew that Lu Yuan's "This Man is from Earth" was released in Huaxia, she was ready to go to Huaxia to support Lu Yuan in person, but now the interview tasks in the company are very busy, and she can't spare time at all.
She's a journalist, after all, and an entertainment journalist.
Although she didn't know that Lu Yuan didn't care about this, and it was impossible to even know who she was, she had a sense of guilt for Lu Yuan in her heart.
But now it seems that God has made up for this guilt for her, so that "This Man is from Earth" was released in the United States.
After accompanying Jack's brother to watch the "Explosive Aliens" and completing the film review task handed over by the company, she couldn't wait to see the "This Man is from Earth".
This movie is known in China as having no special effects, the lowest investment in history, and the box office explodes the sky.
She and Jack made their way to Screening Room 3.
Screening Room 3 contains advertisements for the film, which, although exquisitely made, do not have any promotional effect.
Nonsense, this treatment can't be compared with "Explosive Aliens", which is also a Chinese movie.
The advertisement of "Explosive Aliens" hit directly in the conspicuous place where the main entrance was entered, but the advertisement of "This Man is from Earth" was placed at the door of the screening room, in the corner where not many people would pay attention, and the position was very different, and at the same time, "Explosive Aliens" was promoted in major American movie newspapers, but although "This Man is from Earth" was also on the trailer of the American Film News, it was also such a simple content as "The Chinese movie "This Man is from Earth" landed in the United States".
Other?
The rest is completely gone!
Publicity effect?
This is not at all publicized, is it good!
And this treatment is simply different!
Of course, Alice knows the reason, it's not that these media are unwilling to publicize, but that Huaxin Brothers is too unrepresented......
It's good that a company that is trying to resurrect itself by relying on Chinese movies doesn't become a big joke in the industry, what cards do you say?
What are you kidding?
"Ergouzi! Come on!"
Just as she walked into the screening room, she silently clenched her fist and said this sentence very kindly in Chinese, which she was not proficient in.
Of course, she didn't know what Ergouzi meant, she only knew that the title Ergouzi was very affectionate, and fans called her that.
Of course, if she has the opportunity to interview Lu Yuan in the future, she will also use the title of Ergouzi!
She feels that this represents the endearing name of her fans.
When she walked into the cinema, she saw several acquaintances, all of whom seemed to have appeared at concerts......
Alice got it.
They all came to Lu Yuan, and they were all fans of Lu Yuan.
Although there are not many fans, this also proves in a sense that Lu Yuan also has some people in the world.
Alice is happy!
At least it excites her to see someone identify with her favorite idol.
There is a sense of like-mindedness.
She found her place and sat down.
As soon as I sat down, the movie began......
....................................
"I originally thought it was a traditional Chinese bad movie, but now I realize that I was wrong...... This is not a bad movie, not only is it not and it is most likely to be a cross-era movie. ”
"yes, I think so too!"
"The screenwriter is really a genius, is this all right?"
"It's a really good movie, but unfortunately I haven't heard of it before, and if it weren't for my boring idleness, I wouldn't have come to see it at all...... I didn't expect to find a treasure at such a glance. ”
"yes!"
The movie, which lasted more than an hour, was quickly over.
Alice and Jack walked out of the screening room.
Jack originally had no interest in the so-called Chinese sci-fi films, he felt that Chinese sci-fi films were just rubbish, and even he would feel that he would be drowsy when watching the movie, after all, the movie that was blown into the sky by Gobia was too embarrassing.
And watching the synopsis of the movie said that it was an awkward movie, which made him even more speechless.
But in fact, when he was seriously watching this movie, he was very shocked.
Instead of being drowsy as he imagined, he was in better spirits than anyone else the whole time.
He felt that this was a subversion, and he couldn't use words to describe Lu Yuan's talent as a talented screenwriter!
He can even very responsibly pat his chest with anyone and say that this movie is definitely a must-see movie.
Alice was pleasantly surprised!
Ergouzi is still so talented, still so powerful!
Listening to the word-of-mouth voices around her, and even when someone specifically searched for who the screenwriter was, she was even happier.
More and more people agree with Ergouzi, the more she has a sense of accomplishment.
"Brother Jack...... I wanted to write a review for this movie. ”
"Me ...... too"
"So let's compare?"
"Good!"
....................................
Four o'clock in the morning on April 18.
It was still a very quiet day.
Many people are asleep in their dreams......
But Thomson has been waiting for box office results.
He didn't want to be surpassed by that "Amazing Alien", and if he did, he felt that it would be a shame.
He had nothing to say when he was suddenly overtaken in Huaxia, after all, "Explosive Aliens" does have a unique advantage in Huaxia, and he did not focus on promoting Huaxia, but now the battlefield is not Huaxia after all, and now the battlefield has become a good American Hollywood.
This is completely his own battlefield, although his American Union is not as good as Gobia, who is represented by "Aliens", and although his box office has been declining, he feels that these are not reasons.
He can't lose!
It's a point of pride!
After waiting anxiously for hours, his phone finally rang.
"Hey!"
"Director, the box office is out! You will never think of the results of that Chinese movie!"
"How much?"
"Premiere $200,000!"
"Two hundred thousand?"
"What about our box office?"
"We are 600,000!"
"We're three times as big as him, haha!" Thomson let out a long sigh of relief when he heard the stats.
Suddenly, his mood had never been better.
He was quite afraid of this "Explosive Alien", and even engaged in activities for a while in order not to be overtaken.
But now......
He found that there was no need to worry about it at all.
Even if you don't engage in any activities, even if the box office of your movie drops by another 300,000, it will be 100,000 stronger than this "Explosive Aliens"! .
Call!
He shook his head, feeling a little nervous.
Would you be afraid of a Chinese movie?
Really......
Huaxia movies are still so unbeaten......
What am I worried about?
When the box office results came out, Thomson stretched and walked towards the room.
He's going to have to catch up on some sleep.
It was clear that the other 100,000-dollar Chinese movie on the other end of the phone had not told him.
The other side doesn't seem to have any interest in the $100,000 movie either.
However, no one knows that this movie, which seems to be a low-box office thief, has actually begun to gradually brew his own reputation......
..............................
"How much?"
"The results are not good...... Only 300,000. ”
"What, after spending so many resources, there is only 300,000 box office?"
"Yes!"
"You asked Manager John, who is in charge of this movie, to come over, who swears that this movie can be popular!"
"This ......"
"Tell the finance department that half of this year's bonus will be deducted from him!"
"Yes. ”
"By the way, what about another Chinese movie?"
"Huh, the man is from the earth?"
"Hmm!How much?"
"Very little, only less than 100,000 box office!"
"What, there are 100,000 box office?"
"He's no match for us!"
"Idiot, don't you know it yet? That movie doesn't have any promotional resources! What do you think would happen if our resources were given to that film "This Man Is from Earth"!"
"What!"
"Oh my God, John is such a pig! If only he had come into contact with This Man from Earth!"
“......”
