Chapter 44: Invincible and Lonely

Some experts are unreliable, but some people have talked about making "The Return of the Great Sage" a key project of China's foreign cultural export.

Cultural export is a matter that major countries in the world attach great importance to. For example, when Hollywood movies dominate the world, people from some remote and backward countries and regions will naturally think that New York is so developed and prosperous! If there is a chance to go there, will it change its fate?

This will prompt some relatively "elite" and "excellent" people from all over the world to work hard to go to the United States and contribute to their economic development.

Another example is that RB's anime is doing well, and some anime lovers learn about RB's culture and may have the idea of traveling, shopping, and buying anime peripheral products in Tokyo.

Ancient China has always been a strong cultural exporter to East Asia and Southeast Asia. For example, for a long time, especially during the Heian period, RB worshipped the great poet Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty like a god. But today, how many things in the Chinese literary and artistic circles can be imported into RB and influence other countries in Southeast Asia!

After a day of seminars, although the actual content is not too much, the forced style of "The Return of the Great Sage" has really improved.

In the next few days, several major newspapers of the central media praised one after another, analyzing why "The Return of the Great Sage" is so popular from all angles. What does its box office success mean to Chinese-language films?

Affected by this, the box office, which was already declining, rose again, and on Sunday the 23rd, it collected 91 million, almost exceeding 100 million again.

However, on the 24th working day, the box office plunged again, collecting only 47 million, and as for the other films in theaters, they all became cannon fodder.

By January 30, the cumulative box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" reached 1.99 billion. Naturally, I got the key to the extension, and then broke through the 2 billion mark on the 31st.

Such box office results, the shock to domestic filmmakers at the moment, is far from being comparable to the later "Mermaid" and "Wolf Warrior 2".

Mermaid is Xing Ye's work, and Xing Ye's fan base in the mainland is too strong. At that time, it was rumored that "the movie ticket money owed to the star should be repaid", and it was not too surprising to take 3.4 billion.

The box office performance of "Wolf Warrior 2" of 5.6 billion yuan is based on the rapid growth of China's economy, the substantial improvement of national self-confidence, the real and shocking evacuation of overseas Chinese, and the excellent quality of the film.

"The Return of the Great Sage" is different, the main creators are unknown, the Chinese film industry was slaughtered by "Avatar" last year, and many filmmakers heard that "Hollywood 3D blockbusters" changed color.

At this time, a down-and-out kung fu student, an action star who can't be popular, two fledgling actresses, and a cute baby who has never acted.

Several people got together to shoot a so-called 3D blockbuster, and it was incredible that they could win a box office of 2 billion like thunder on the ground.

For a time, "The Return of the Great Sage" attracted more and more national discussion. Of course, in terms of box office, although the key is postponed, it will not grow too much. Because the 3D ticket price at this time is too expensive, more than 100 yuan a piece, no one can always brush it without anything. Potential audiences who want to go to the theater have basically seen it.

At this time, the enthusiasm of the people has shifted from the story to other aspects, such as how much money the producer can make.

Soon, the specific box office accounting rules were popularized on the Internet. A self-proclaimed insider posted on the Internet that at present, the money that can be distributed to the producer of "The Return of the Great Sage" is about 680 million, the production cost of the film is about 150 million, the publicity and distribution cost is 100 million, and the producer Longlin Studio makes at least 430 million yuan for this film.

Later, some netizens found out that Longlin Studio is a film and television company wholly owned by Lu Lin. At this time, netizens wondered how Dragon Scale Studio, which has a registered capital of only 5 million, has the strength to produce a special effects blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million. The simplest question is, where does the money come from?

There is no doubt that someone is spending a lot of money on Lu Lin behind his back, but who is this person, and what is the situation of not leaving his name behind the money. Many media wanted to interview Lu Lin on this issue, but they couldn't contact anyone, because Lu Lin was already hiding at the moment and preparing for the New Year.

A person, who has both parents, lives like an orphan, belonging to the "parents who are alive and orphaned".

He is not the illegitimate son of a wealthy family, and the story is not bloody. It's very simple, it's just that for Lu Lin, this world is a little cold.

His father was a contractor thirty years ago, and he was bold and careful. With the rapid development of China's economy and the start of the real estate market, a contractor who did not read much gradually became a large real estate developer on the rich side.

Lu Lin's father is the kind of person who likes wine and sex, loves money and beauty, and quarrels with Lu Lin's mother constantly when he first got married. Later, the two of them felt that this life was boring, and they broke up peacefully, because Lu Lin was sentenced to his mother when he was very young, and his surname was changed.

Not long after, my father married a beautiful woman and entered the door, where was he still thinking about his ex-wife and son. Only when the Chinese New Year is approaching every year, I go to visit Lu Lin once and leave some money.

After a few years, the mother also met the right person and restarted the family. Lu Lin also became rebellious at this time, and his grades plummeted. His mother asked him, "If you don't study hard, what do you want to do in the future?"

Xiao Lulin said, I want to go to Shaolin Temple to practice martial arts, and no one will bully me in the future. The mother naturally would not send the child to Songshan Shaolin so far, but asked someone to send him to the Yanjing martial arts team, where he stayed and practiced martial arts, and such days passed for many years!

In fact, the days when parents and children can live together are not long, only a short dozen years. And if a person does not receive the love of his parents at this stage, his pain will not be repaired for a lifetime.

For example, for Lu Lin, he now earns six or seven billion yuan from a movie, and these money can buy a lot of things. But the love from my parents when I was a teenager can never be bought.

There should be no resentment against the generations, but this business is difficult to settle!

The relationship between people really depends on getting along. Even if it's father and son, mother and son. Dad used to see him once a year when the Chinese New Year was approaching, and then the company became bigger and bigger, so how could he think of such a son.

's mother still has some love for Lu Lin, but after all, the family has been reorganized, and they have been together less and more over the years, so that the two have nothing to talk about when they get along.

The politeness of the conversation is like meeting a distant relative during the Chinese New Year and casually asking some questions that seem to care about you. But it's just asking for the sake of asking, and it doesn't really matter what the result of your answer is.

Later, Lu Lin, who hated this feeling, didn't like to go home during the New Year, and only went to see his mother once a year in March and May.

The relationship is undeniable, and there is nowhere to talk about family affection. His life is really lonely as snow!
