Chapter 81: I Didn't Mean That......
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is September 20th.
After September 20, the temperature began to gradually drop.
The box office war has basically come to an end.
Although the word-of-mouth explosion and popularity of "Buried Alive" exploded, it inevitably entered a period of decline.
After more than ten days of tigering, the single-day box office of "Buried Alive" finally gradually dropped from tens of millions to 9 million, and then slowly declined to 8 million, 7 million, and 6 million......
It's inevitable.
No matter how popular and hot a movie is, the box office and audience will still be saturated to a certain extent.
In September, Lu Yuan was very hot on the Internet, and even this heat overshadowed "Subway Station".
A special person counted the box office, and the total box office of "Buried Alive" has exceeded 150 million in 20 days after its release, firmly occupying the fourth place in the box office in September.
According to the box office line chart, the final box office of "Buried Alive" is fixed at about 180 million.
Although it did not break 200 million, let alone catch up with the 240 million of the third place "Enemies at the Same Table", "Buried Alive" has become a myth that shocks everyone's glasses.
On September 21, the decline of "Buried Alive" was fixed at 4 million, and the number of films scheduled in major theaters began to be appropriately reduced......
Zhang Tong of "Subway Station" suddenly became very depressed!
Obviously, the total box office of his movie "Subway Station" has exceeded 300 million, and he has also hyped up the popularity and publicity, and is even called "one of the few directors in China who has broken 500 million", but inexplicably there is a feeling of giving people a part-time job......
Why?
Because he went to Venice to brush the Best Director Award with "Subway Station", he became an escort again, which made Lu Yuan, the guy who originally thought he was going to play soy sauce, brush up on his presence......
The more popular "Subway Station" is, the more popular Lu Yuan becomes, even if "Subway Station" becomes a member in the history of Chinese films in the future, Lu Yuan will also become a ......
After all, "Subway Station" won an award in Venice, the Best Film and Television Song Award......
When people search for the award-winning record of "Subway Station", can Lu Yuan still become a mosaic shield?
This is naturally impossible.
So......
This fucking self worked hard to make a movie, planned in many ways, and laid the box office champion in September, and it seems that he is completely working for Lu Yuan.
After Zhang Tong watched the news, he even fainted with a shock to his heart on the spot.
Lu Yuan, Lu Manzi, Lu Ergouzi, Sausage, Lu Yuan Smile, Alice......
These words became the browser's hot search words, and they hung in the browser for two days, and the popularity was occupied by the box office record of "Subway Station" two days later.
The box office explosion of "Buried Alive" and the award were enough to make the name Lu Yuan officially known in the Chinese entertainment industry, and officially entered the eyes of all the high-level leaders in the entertainment industry, and then the name Lu Yuan rushed to the headlines of the entertainment industry for the first time.
Zhang Tong closed his eyes, he didn't know how to describe Lu Yuan, who seemed to be simple, but in fact he was pretending to be forced into his bones......
Lu Yuan is completely on fire!
In addition to Zhang Tong's speechlessness, those artists in other entertainment circles who are eager to become famous overnight are red-eyed and sour.
They wanted to replicate Lu Yuan's success.
But how can Lu Yuan's success be replicated?
Can you write songs, can you make songs, can you win awards, can you sing, can you smirk......
No, you won't.
But Lu Yuan did it all.
This is undoubtedly a desperate thing, and it is undoubtedly that when you see someone exploding, you can only envy the flesh.
Of course, there are a small number of people who feel that there is hope.
Lu Yuan's success made some small directors' eyes light up, they learned to land Lu Yuandong to make a million investment, began to make some literary films that they thought could be popular, and stared at the box office rankings every day with confidence, fantasizing that they could be as small and big as Lu Yuan, make a lot of money, and then embark on the peak of life.
However, Lu Yuan is Lu Yuan after all, and some successes cannot be replicated at all......
They spent 20 days, made dozens of small-budget movies, and even played bloody propaganda names such as "Bury Me Alive" and "Bury You Alive", but all of them were taken off the shelves within a day of their release......
What's that?
It's just that you plagiarized "Buried Alive", you can't also plagiarize the letter clip of "Buried Alive", right?
And what do you mean as an actor? If you don't have acting skills, you want the plot without a plot, and you even do it messily and stupidly......
The audience is not brain-dead......
Therefore, the explosion of "Buried Alive" has also indirectly led to the probability of bad films produced in China dozens of times more than in previous years......
It's so speechless.
..............................
What made Lu Yuan happiest in September was not that he became popular on the Internet, but that the money was in place!
Except for the messy division, and then get rid of Wei Fatzi and the rest of the crew's commission, Lu Yuan can get a total of nearly 9.4 million yuan.
Nine million four hundred thousand!
This is a number that Lu Yuan never dared to think of before!
Although Lu Yuan was very calm on the surface, when he went to the bathroom alone, Lu Yuan still smiled in front of the mirror, and even pinched his face every day, and the painful feeling constantly reminded Lu Yuan that he was not dreaming.
It's true, it's true!
Everything is true!
Lao Tzu, make a fortune!
Lao Tzu is a rich man!
Lao Tzu is not worried in this life.
After that, Lu Yuan changed his stingy demeanor in the past, bought himself a set of authentic "Newbuck" suits worth tens of thousands, bought a pair of glasses worth thousands, changed his mobile phone, and bought a computer...... Lu Yuan felt that he was lost, and even did a lot of things that he once wanted to do but didn't have the money......
By the way, Lu Yuan spent 4 million to buy a two-story storefront in the east of Hengdian, found a reliable decoration company, and prepared to officially start his hotel plan.
After opening the restaurant, coupled with the help of celebrities to publicize, the business is absolutely hot, and it is not a problem to open a branch in the future, as long as I wait to collect money in the future.
The future is bright!
Thinking about it like this, Lu Yuan felt that even if he fell, he would be a winner in life!
But......
The rest of the "remote" entertainment enthusiastically pulled Lu Yuan to start the next step of planning, not giving Lu Yuan a chance to fall at all.
September 28.
"Remote" entertainment.
Several company backbones gathered around a table and held the first backbone meeting very seriously.
The participants included executive director Wei Wuji, royal actor Lu Yihong, crew manager Li Qing, and screenwriter and miscellaneous water pourer Qian Zhong......
Of course, there is also the leading brother Lu Yuan in their minds.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs......
"Ah Yuan, I think the filming plan of "Wanderer" can be started. β
Under the light, Wei Fatzi handed the plan to Lu Yuan decently, and began to talk about the shooting plan for the next movie very seriously.
"Well, the investment budget is five million?" When Lu Yuan saw this number, although he pretended to be very calm on the surface, he was already panicked in his heart.
Why is the investment so fierce!
"yes, five million. Wei Fatzi's eyes were full of hope, and he analyzed it very seriously: "In the last film, there was only one actor Lao Lu buried alive, and the salary was not very high, so I could afford it, but there are many actors in this "Wanderer", and the salary and publicity will naturally have to keep ......up."
"Oh, okay. Lu Yuan nodded, and suddenly had a headache.
It's a sad thing.
This movie will hollow out his family again.
"Ah Yuan, do you think there's anything else you need to add?"
"It's gone...... I think the plan is okay. β
To be honest, Lu Yuan actually wanted to say that he didn't want to make a movie anymore and wanted to open a restaurant, but after seeing everyone sharpening their faces and looking at him with great hope, he finally suppressed this thought.
And he promised to make this movie, so he didn't think it was good to go back on his word.
So what can be done?
Shoot it!
Even if you lose money, it is within the range of what you can accept.
Moreover, it shouldn't be a lot to lose......
"Oh, what, Ah Yuan, when are we going to move the company?" Li Qing sat next to Lu Yuan and suddenly asked this question.
"Move the company, what company?" Lu Yuan was stunned.
"Ah Yuan, don't pretend, I know that you have bought a formal storefront, and you have already found a decoration company to prepare for construction...... You just want to surprise us, I've seen the wall knocking drawings you put next to the bed, well, the wall knocking drawings are designed to look a bit like a coffee shop, and everything else is pretty good......" Li Qing showed an expression that you can't fool me.
"What do you know, this is the art fan, and the art fan studio is the trend of the future......" Lu Yihong glared at Li Qing, and offered the cognition that he thought he knew very well, he felt that he was different.
"Yes, Lao Li, don't look like a hillbilly and haven't seen the world, okay?"
Wei Fatzi was drinking tea, with an expression that I had known for a long time, and the old god was not panicked at all.
Very calm.
"......" Lu Yuan opened his mouth, looking at everyone with an expectant expression.
He suddenly felt like he was messy in the wind......
I didn't buy a house to start a company!
What do you think?
..............................
Half an hour after the end of the meeting, after Lu Yuan watched everyone leave the company full of energy, Lu Yuan suddenly let out a long sigh, he still didn't tell the truth that he was going to open a restaurant there.
He felt they would be disappointed.
Eventually, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the renovation company.
"Hey, yes, the renovation company?"
"I've changed my mind, let's change it to an office......"
"Yes, office. β
"Why did you change your mind? It's not like I don't pay you, change it. β
After making the call, Lu Yuan looked at the empty room again and calculated his savings again......
In total, I have about 80 funds left that I can use, which is the share of the "Invisible Wings" album and the deposit of some other money......
It is still necessary to open a takeaway restaurant, and it is a waste to put such good publicity resources without using them!
In case something goes wrong with the movie, you can also concentrate on the catering business.
After all, who hasn't had a backhand, hasn't they?
He was silent for a moment, then dialed another number.
"Dad...... Recently, there is a store for rent or sale in my hometown, and it is best to have it within 700,000 yuan. β
"Yes, yes, faΓ§ade, yes, by the way, help me find a chef with better skills......"
"Well, you prepare first, I plan to come back in two months......"
