Chapter 283: Breaking Three Billion

In a slightly old-fashioned movie theater in downtown Copenhagen, Lu Lin and Jing Yan snuggled in the back row, watching "The Male Company" while eating. When it comes to Northern Europe, there is no one to watch the movies they make.

Denmark is a high-income, high-tax, high-welfare country with almost no poor people. However, the population is only more than 5 million, which is still relatively small in terms of the scale of the film market.

However, because the ticket price is slightly higher, the box office cannot be underestimated. For example, "Fast and Furious 8", released in 2017, was watched by more than 275,000 moviegoers in Denmark and hit a box office of $4.01 million. The average ticket price is over $14.

"Company of Soldiers" has only been in Denmark for two weeks, but it has already won more than $2.9 million at the box office, and the results are acceptable.

After all, it is a global distribution, and the large countries with developed economies and large populations get tens of millions of dollars, and small countries have millions of dollars, and the cumulative data is very impressive. However, the main markets are Chinese mainland and North America.

Domestically, the box office performance of "Company of Heroes" has exceeded 3 billion, surpassing "Wolf Warrior", not to mention, but also raising the mainland box office of a single domestic film to the 3 billion level.

When Longlin Pictures announced this achievement to the media, it naturally attracted a wave of media carnival.

Three billion yuan, according to the Sino-US exchange rate of June 11 in 2014, is 490 million US dollars. What's more, "Company of Heroes" also won $230 million in the North American market.

Although it is not as good as the 244 million of "Transformers 4", it has exceeded the $201 million of the summer blockbuster "Godzilla" of the distributor Warner.

What's more, the release time of "Company of Heroes" in North America is three weeks, and if it is released for a few weeks, the box office of three or four million dollars a week can still be mixed, at least Warner's side is expected to see $250 million at the box office, and it may become the box office champion of the North American summer file!

But Lu Lin knows that the real box office champion is "Guardians of the Galaxy", which was released in August, with a North American market of 280 million. "Company of Soldiers" as long as it can overpower "Transformers 4", and it will be satisfied to be the second.

The Yankees are proud of the world, and there are not many foreign works that can be seen sincerely. A large part of the success of "Company of Heroes" in the North American market is due to the words "League of Legends", after all, the game was developed by Riot!

Not counting other markets, Chinese mainland and North America alone, the box office performance of "League of Legends: Company of Soldiers" has exceeded 700 million US dollars.

And the performance of "Transformers 4" in Chinese mainland is 100 million yuan less than that of another time and space, only more than 1.8 billion. After adding the North American market, it is about 538 million.

"Company of Soldiers" is already the global market box office champion in the summer, and it is more likely to be the annual champion.

The combination of all kinds of news simply drove the media crazy. wanted to interview Lu Lin for the first time, but was surprised to find that the latter had not appeared in public for a while.

Of course, Longlin Pictures issued a statement that Lu Lin is in retreat at the moment to revise the script of "The Three-Body Problem". However, someone broke the news that when Warner, Universal, Columbia and other companies launched business negotiations with Longlin Pictures, Lu Lin did not attend.

This is a little weird, some netizens went to the Weibo of "the first paparazzi in China" Zhuo Wei to ask for the news, but the large army of Fengxuan Studio was staring at others, and Leng didn't pay attention to when Lu Lin disappeared.

Good guy, being scolded by netizens! Lu Lin's love affair can't be dug up, and now he can't even find his whereabouts, what do you want?

Zhuo Wei was scolded with blood, but he guessed that Lu Lin might not be in the country, where would he go, and who would he go with?

In Copenhagen, the two watched a movie and went to eat at the Geranium restaurant. They had been in Denmark for four days, visiting castles, parks, seashores, cycling, sailing, fishing, .......

Lu Lin's lonely days were too long, and suddenly there was someone with him, and he always felt that he was still unfinished, and the days passed too quickly!

The agent said that Director Zhang contacted him and said that it was okay to be in the capital. It is expected to be a half-year closed training with one day off per week, followed by half a year of shooting. The young lady ate a lot of things first, and then suddenly talked about it after padding her stomach.

Lu Lin smiled: "Okay, if you want to go to the capital, it's convenient to go and see you!"

Jing Yan said: "Then you agree with me to star in "The Great Wall"?"

Lu Lin smiled, "Of course, there is no reason to object?"

The young lady swallowed the contents of her mouth, thought about it and explained: "Oh, I just think I should ask for your opinion, in fact, I want to act!"

Lu Lin smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand and scraped it on the other party's nose, "You, you will suffer when the time comes!"

In another time and space, before filming "The Great Wall", Jing Yan trained intensively in the United States for half a year, and even uninstalled WeChat and cut off contact with friends. locked himself up in Los Angeles steadily, and trained regularly every day, from a beautiful girl to a female man, she gained 20 pounds, all muscles.

And during the filming process, he also went into battle in person. Later, when talking about filming in a media interview, he said that when he first jumped down, he was scared to death. Because the domestic WIA is pulled by someone, while the WIA filmed in the United States is controlled by a machine and set in advance.

The young lady didn't know what she would have to endure in the future, but she was full of interest at the moment, "Director Lu and Director Zhang, you two big directors have been in the drama one after another, this year is really smooth!"

Lu Lin hit her, "Don't be too happy, you may be scolded even worse because of this!"

The young lady was a little depressed, glanced at Lu Lin, sighed and said, "Scold, scold, get used to it!"

"Then do you really want to play "The Great Wall"" Lu Lin asked, in fact, he felt that the young lady was suspected of betraying the blame in this movie.

It is said that since director Zhang Yimu started "Hero", there are few movies that have not been scolded. Even "Shadow", which has a good reputation for 18 years, has been criticized for being preachy, and the plot is not interesting.

I feel that Director Zhang's artistic technique is like an oil painting, paying attention to thick ink and color, and the content of the painting is clear at a glance. For Dongfeng people who can't appreciate it, they always feel awkward and boring.

In contrast, director Jiang Wen's works are like Chinese paintings, paying attention to blank space. A few brushstrokes outline an artistic conception, which is worthy of repeated scrutiny and appreciation, and there are always new discoveries.

But the blank space is a science, and the outline is as good as "Let the Bullets Fly", which is very cool to look at, and it can better interpret various metaphors, which is very enjoyable.

The outline is as bad as "One Step Away" and "Evil Does Not Suppress the Right", Director Jiang Wen feels good about the pen and ink on the rice paper, but the audience is watching a mess, and what is the matter.

Lu Lin personally thinks that watching "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice" a few more times is still quite tasteful. As for "The Great Wall", whether from the plot or the picture, there is not much to appreciate.
