Verse 149: Going to the United States

At Nanyang Lukou International Airport, in the VIP waiting room, Du An's blog was being browsed, his notebook was on the table in front of him, next to Shu Yu, and around him were two strong men dressed in black - these two were bodyguards hired from the Leishi Security Company??.? `

Leishi Security Company is one of the top two security companies in China, and the big stars in Xiangjiang generally seek services from this company when they come to the mainland to participate in activities, so the security personnel of this company have rich security knowledge and skills in dealing with the media and fans, and the two around them are hired for 3,000 yuan per person per day.

Duane's notebook now opens to his blog, and you can see that the following is more than 60,000, compared to more than 30,000 before the release of "One Flew Over the Asylum", half of which was added because of recent news.

He opened the comment column of the latest blog post, and the comments in it were basically as follows: "Duane is so handsome", "What are you doing in America?", "I hate the ending of "One Flew Over the Asylum"", "When will "The Terminator" be released?", "Do you have a girlfriend?", "I want to be with you"......

"You're writing too short. ”

Shu Yuxian, who was sitting next to her, was extremely bored, looked at his laptop screen, and said.

She looked at it, and some of Duane's blog posts were basically similar to the "I'm going to the United States" just now, with just a few words, and the longest was only two lines.

Duane stared at the comments and said, "I don't have anything to say, why do you want to go so long? There is no other website, if there is a website in the form of a short blog, I will definitely not use this website." ”

Speaking of this, he talked to Shu Yuidle, "Alas, how about I go and get a website? In the form of a short blog I just mentioned, each one is allowed to say more than 100 words at most, and the name is thought of, so it's called a microblog." When the time comes, it will also be able to promote new movies in the future. In fact, he used his blog to promote "One Flew Over the Asylum" when it was released, but the attention was too low and it had no effect.

Before Shu Yu could answer, he vetoed his idea again. "Forget it, there's no time at all. ”

He's so busy making movies, where is the time to specialize in websites?

After picking up a few interesting comments and replying, Duane turned off his phone and closed his notebook?.? When he looked left and right, there was a female passenger in front of him who was also waiting for the flight, staring at him, so he smiled at him in a friendly way, and the man smiled at him, as if encouraged by his smile, and stepped forward.

The two security guards immediately shifted their gaze, stared at the woman who was walking this way and scanned it several times to make sure that there was no danger, and then cast an inquiring glance at Duane, indicating whether to stop it. Duane shook his hand.

After the female passenger came to Duane, she first glanced at the two security guards, and finally greeted Duane, "Hello, is it Director Duane?"

"It's me. ”

"Great!"

The female passenger's expression suddenly became excited, "I like your movies so much, especially "Pretty Woman", I think it's the best love movie I've ever seen......"

The woman babbled on and on about her admiration and affection for Duane, who listened patiently until finally hearing her make a request. "Can you take a picture?"

"Of course. ”

Duane stood up cooperatively, and wanted to ask her if she needed to provide her own camera, but the other party had already taken out a small silver-white digital camera from her satchel.

Du An asked Shu Yu to help with the camera, and he stood with the female fan. Obediently took a group photo.

After getting the group photo, the excitement on the female fan's face was still there, and after looking at Shu Yu, she asked a little nervously, "Is this your girlfriend?"

Duane waved his hand repeatedly, "No, this is my colleague." If you pay attention to the end credits of "Pretty Woman", you should be able to see that its producer is called Shu Yu, and it is her. ”

Then he saw that the female fan was relieved and relieved.

After chatting with the female fan a few more times and signing her name, the female fan went back to her previous position and sat down again.

Du An's looked at the female fan, smiled at the end, retracted his gaze, looked at Shu Yu beside him, and said with emotion: "Fortunately, the soldiers are divided into several ways, otherwise it will be really troublesome to take a group photo one by one." w?ww.`”

In addition to Africa, overseas will be released at the same time, so their promotional lineup is also divided into several teams, responsible for North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and Australia. The largest ticket warehouse is North America, Du ane and Zhu Qian must have at least one of them go, and finally Du An's takeover here, so now he is ready to go to the United States with Shu Yu, and the others went to different regions, such as Zhu Qian, and went to Europe, the first stop in France.

Shu Yu didn't answer his words, but asked, "Do you have an idea for the next movie?"

Duane shook his head, "'The Terminator' isn't ready yet." Moreover, after the Terminator is down, I want to take a break for a while, I have been busy for the past two years, and I have never had time to do a lot of things I want to do. ”

Shu Yu asked, "What do you want to do?"

"It's too much,"

Duane raised his fingers and counted them for her: "You said that I have a lot of money now, and I can make a lot of money here in "One Flew Over the Asylum", and all kinds of personal assets add up, and it is hundreds of millions smaller. ”

"The second thing is that I've been making movies for the past two years, and I haven't had a good rest, and I haven't been anywhere else except for work, so I plan to find a place to travel and have a good time after I get my driver's license. There is a third thing, I recently invested in a movie, Ning Hao is the director, I have a producer, and I have to stare at the ...... when I have nothing to do."

Shu Yu listened to him quietly, and finally said, "Then tell me when you want to make a movie." ”

Duane looked at the workaholic helplessly and asked, "Doesn't your company have several movies? There are three films in the film, why are you just staring at me?" ”

"All of those people don't add up to how much you make alone, and I don't stare at who you are. ”

Although this was a bit suspicious of sycophancy, Du An still sounded very good, but Shu Yu immediately took another turn.

"But you'd better not make this kind of film in the next part, let's shoot the old ones. ”

Duane nodded, "I didn't want to make this kind of movie, but I just happened to be a little in love at that time." In fact, I didn't want to shoot halfway through the shooting. But the money was thrown in, and I had to finish filming, and next time it won't be this kind of movie. ”

He also knows that while "One Flew Over the Asylum" made money. has made a lot of money, but from the perspective of the benefit ratio, it is actually not as good as "Pretty Woman".

"Pretty Woman" invested 7 million, plus the publicity cost was only 10 million, but it exceeded the box office of 1.5 billion, but what about "Flying Over the Madhouse"? 30 million. The publicity cost is 30 million, and the total cost is 60 million, which is not counting the cost of their later marketing, and the box office of "One Flew Over the Madhouse", judging from the current situation and the declining trend of the box office, the global box office of more than one billion is basically stable, but it is difficult to break through 1.5 billion.

The cost has increased so much, but the box office is likely not as high as "Pretty Woman", no wonder Shu Yu is a little uncomfortable.

"It's better to make a series of movies,"

Shu Yu added two more points. "Advertisements must also be implanted, and the surrounding areas must sell well, like "Pretty Woman". ”

The income of "Pretty Woman" is not only at the box office, but also from peripheral products: the soundtrack of "Pretty Woman" has sold hundreds of thousands of copies, and it has been selling well in the VCD and videotape market, which is all money.

Speaking of "Pretty Woman in the Moon", Shu Yu thought of another question: "By the way, can "Pretty Woman" shoot the second part?"

Duane shook his head without thinking about it, "I can't shoot for the time being, I don't have any ideas." He thought about this question when he used "Terminator 2" to fool Su Yun. But I really couldn't find any idea -- could it be that I could photograph the married life of Chamberlain and Qi Wei? Or did I photograph Chamberlain and Qi Wei broke up because of contradictions, and then went through all kinds of difficulties to get back together? This is not what he wanted to shoot, it felt like an old woman's footwrap, smelly and long. Not to mention the audience, it is estimated that he will be disgusted if he really shoots it.

The two talked about it, and soon it was time to board the plane and get on the plane.

After more than a dozen hours of flight, the plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport at around 11 o'clock local time the next day. Enter, take luggage, go through customs, exit customs, as soon as you come out, a voice shouts.

β€œann!”

Du An's face was full of excitement when he saw a white girl with a long golden face.

There were quite a few people next to her, all of them gathered together, basically young men and women, black, white and yellow. In the crowd, someone held a sign with the name "Duan" written in Chinese.

It looks like it's his fan group?

"There are also pick-ups in the United States? Doesn't it mean that the fans on their side are more sensible, and there is no one to watch the celebrities on the street?"

Du An couldn't help but ask Shu Yu next to him.

He originally wanted to go to Europe, but he heard that fans in the United States are more sensible, and no one joins in the excitement when celebrities walk on the street, so he came to the United States for fear of trouble. But I really didn't expect that I had never met a pick-up plane when I flew around in China, and I ran into it as soon as I returned to the United States.

Looking at this situation, these people are simply more enthusiastic than the people of Nanyang City.

Shu Yu glanced at the crowd over there and said, "You don't want to think about it, you have been in China, and it is rare to come to the United States once, can they still be calm? However, it is also a good thing to have someone to pick you up, at least it means that you are still a little popular in the United States. ”

As they chatted, the fans had gathered around and shouted Duane's name, which he could understand because of his poor English skills, as well as simple words like "I love you."

At this time, the role of the two security guards hired for money is reflected.

They dutifully stopped the fans from getting too close, while Duane and Shu Yu walked out briskly.

Fans chased all the way, Du An saw that these people were so enthusiastic, and he was also a little moved, and stopped with Shu Yu, picked a few people, and signed the photos they handed over, and it was at this time that he knew why one of his directors was so popular - the photos handed over by these people were all stills of him on "Pretty Woman", which was a peripheral product made by DreamWorks, and he was handsome and handsome.

dare to love him, as an actor, he has gathered popularity in the United States.

After signing his name, he shouted two more sentences of his broken English to these people, "ilove seduces!i1oveame day ca!", causing the audience to scream again.

The people around the airport hall who didn't know the truth looked at this and didn't understand what was going on, while Du An and Shu Yu hurriedly met up with their pick-up staff here, got in the car and left. (To be continued.) )
