1563 Mr. Five Billion

"Hey, Mr. Five Hundred Million Dollars, congratulations on becoming a father of two. The hearty, pungent voice echoed over the empty farm.

Lan Li turned around, first saw the two little guys standing not far behind him, then saw Jessica lying at the window, and finally the bustling figures in the room, it seemed that the whole crew temporarily put down what they were busy with, and flocked to the door and window to watch the excitement, as if a dinosaur had appeared.

Such a battle made Lan Li couldn't help but show a slight surprise, because the whole room seemed so peaceful just now, there was no one to be found, and suddenly it became lively, he reacted for a moment, and then he laughed dumbly, "Mr. Five Hundred Million Dollars, isn't this the slogan of the sperm donation bank?"

Sperm donation bank.

Everyone was stunned involuntarily, and then collectively laughed.

The so-called Mr. $500 million, this is the nickname of the media for Lan Li in recent times, just like the movie, "Million Dollar Baby", which is "clearly marked" for Lan Li.

Although when entering the crew, the North American box office of "Gravity" has not exceeded 500 million for the time being, and there is even a distance away, but all experts have predicted that 500 million is a high probability event, and it can even be said to be a sure thing, which also means that after "Edge of Tomorrow", Lan Li is about to usher in the second consecutive North American work to break 500 million.

Moreover, not a sequel!

This is definitely the first time in history, and it has once again refreshed people's perception of the appeal of the North American box office, even if it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a rock breaker.

From questioning the market influence of Lanli, to establishing its absolute strength in two consecutive 500 million works, the current Lanli is a benchmark that cannot be surpassed, even Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp can only bow to the wind, and the momentum at their peak is far inferior.

Never before has an actor been able to show such dominance in the North American market, which can't help but remind people of Harrison Ford.

Harrison, who successively relied on "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Star Wars" to dominate the market, although the box office figures in North America did not exceed 500 million in a row, but the unparalleled influence was comparable to today's Blue Gift, which caused a sensation in the entire market and changed the entire pattern, and after that, Harrison began his thirty-year superstar career.

Now Lan Li's momentum is only surpassed.

It is worth mentioning that both Harrison and Blue Lane's agent are Andy Rogers, which is also particularly eye-catching. But the difference is that Harrison finally came to Andy after several agents, and he has several agents at the innovative artist agency to take care of things, while Lan Li was pushed to the top by Andy, so the meaning is naturally different.

Despite this, the major media still can't wait to say, "Lanley Hall succeeds Harrison Ford, a cycle of thirty years, does this mean that the North American film market is about to enter a new era?"

The significance of the rise of Lanli is not just that the "500 million box office" is as simple as that, but that the comic book adaptation and the adapted sequel series of movies firmly occupy the leading role in the market, and the living space of other movies is getting smaller and smaller. It's like Harrison's birth.

From "Jaws" to "Star Wars", the concept of summer files has emerged in North America, and the prototype of commercial movies has also been formed.

Before that, movies have always been an elegant pastime, expensive ticket prices, scarce theaters and a moderate amount of productions, although Hollywood film studios are very competitive, but the output is still not high after all, and the audience has become a high-end pastime once a week when they enter the theater. The market mechanism of the entire industry has not yet fully matured.

And then Harrison Ford showed up!

"Star Wars" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" formed a relatively fixed creative model, so the commercial film model gradually evolved into a reality. It's no exaggeration to say that his work has shaped the film market today – for industry insiders, that's the credit of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, but for the general public, it's Harrison Ford's feat.

Now, the commercial film market has fully matured and entered a bottleneck period, adaptations and series of films occupy the big screen, the sense of innovation is gradually degrading, assembly line works are becoming more and more templated, the importance of copyright is rising, if there is no copyright, it seems to have lost the opportunity, Warner Bros., Disney and Sony Columbia have gone to the front, while Twentieth Century Fox, Universal and Paramount are gradually left behind.

Then Lan Li appeared.

So, what enlightenment can the Blue Rite model bring to the current film market? This is something that the entire industry needs to study slowly.

Harrison and Lan Li, one founding and the other breaking, are of extraordinary historical significance. Naturally, the response from the market as a whole has been extraordinary.

Why didn't Universal Pictures dare to tear up its face with Lan Li so easily?

Before the release of "Gravity", Universal Pictures missed the best opportunity to negotiate, one wrong step, and thus fell into a vicious circle, just like the timing of Wall Street, missing a point in time, and then having to spend more energy to make up for the mistake, and now they are also in an awkward position, and Ron Meyer is helpless.

Mr. $500 million, this is the media's joking name for Lanli, but it is also an honorific title, except for James Cameron, who else in the entire North American market can have such an appeal? This can clearly feel the strong influence of Lanli in the world.

Jessica was deliberately teasing, but who would have thought that Lan Li would interpret it in such a naughty and weird way.

The other staff at the scene reacted immediately, and they collectively burst into laughter and laughter.

McKenzie, who was standing at the forefront, didn't know why, did the 500 million have anything to do with the bank? She didn't understand the current situation at all.

Timothy was ignorant, vaguely able to understand, but his reaction speed was a little slower, and a big smile still appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Mackenzie raised her head and looked around, only to find that she was the only one who had been "abandoned", and with a blink of an eye, she decided to take the initiative herself, "Jessica means, congratulations on your box office that is about to break 500 million! ”

Xiao Nizi answered in her own way, worried that Lan Li didn't understand what Jessica meant. The crisp words, with a wanton growth of vigor and vitality, make people involuntarily brighten, just like a sunflower facing the sun with a shadow, full of the refreshing breath of the sun.

No wonder the old man always likes to get along with children, that kind of vitality is the sunshine that grows against the years, dispelling fear and haze, as well as illness and death, I can't help but want to get closer, get closer, feel those lost and dissipated youth again, as if I can return to those good times again.

Even Lan Li can empathize.

Lan Li smiled at McKenzie, "Thank you! There was no excuse, as if he really didn't understand Jessica's words.

Facing Lan Li's smile, Mackenzie's cheeks couldn't help but heat slightly, then he bit his lower lip and shook his head shyly, his voice suddenly lowered like a mosquito's whisper, and he said something vaguely, but he couldn't hear it clearly, and the corners of his mouth still didn't help but rise up greatly.

Lan Li didn't pursue it, and politely stretched out his right hand, "Hey, first time we met, I'm Lan Li." ”

"I know, I know, I know!" McKenzie immediately became excited, snapping his fingers and said, "I've seen all of your movies!'Love is crazy!'Cancer-fighting me'!'Detachment'!'Fast and Furious'!'Edge of Tomorrow'!and, 'Buried Alive'!" Xiao Nizi really counted them one by one.

The smile in Lan Li's eyes rolled slightly, "This is not very good. McKenzie was slightly stunned, I don't know why, tilted his little head and looked at Lan Li intently, and then heard the follow-up explanation, "Many of my works are R-grade, does this mean that you are secretly doing bad things without knowing from adults?"

This......

Doesn't seem right with this brain circuit?

"Oh. Mackenzie immediately wailed, covering his cheeks in frustration, unable to raise his head in shame—why was Lan Li's point different from what he imagined?

Lan Li couldn't help but laugh, and then said, "You haven't introduced yourself yet, if you tell me your name now, then I will keep this secret." ”

McKenzie immediately put his hands down, his big eyes were full of joy and excitement, he looked at Lan Li in disbelief, weighed the truth a little, and then couldn't wait to speak, but he was choked by his own saliva because he was too excited, "Ahem...... Wheat...... My name is McKenzie!"

"Nice to meet you, Mackenzie!" Lan Li stretched out his right hand again - just now Xiao Nizi was completely immersed in her own world, and she didn't notice Lan Li's handshake at all, and he made a formal greeting gesture again.

This time, Mackenzie didn't miss out.

Xiao Nizi straightened her waist, quickly reached out and grabbed Lan Li's right hand, shook it once, nodded vigorously! and shook it again! A quirky smile appeared on her face, and when she was about to let go, she shook it for the third time, just like a little adult, nodded solemnly, and showed a meaningful polite expression, as if she was imitating her parents or the scene she had seen:

"It's a pleasure to meet you! Very, very good to meet you! Mr. Hall! It's really an honor to meet you!"

McKenzie deliberately said in a rough voice, as if this would make his movements and voice more formal, and the vivid appearance of the little adult really made people laugh, and the smile naturally climbed up the corners of his mouth, and his mood flew like the afternoon sun.
