Inside a villa in Los Angeles on the night of July 1.

Liang Ren walked around the room excitedly, turning his head from time to time to look at Ye Tian, the agent sitting next to him, as if he wanted to open his mouth to say something, but every time he closed it halfway through, and then walked around the room again......

"Take it easy, my friend!"

Compared to Liang Ren's impatience, Richard? Feynman was remarkably calm.

Taking a puff with the pipe he usually uses to pretend, the Hollywood producer spat out a thick eye circle and smiled calmly: "There is still one minute until midnight...... Now that you've decided that you're going to wait until twelve o'clock, why not sit back and enjoy the feeling of anticipation? ”

“……”

The corners of his mouth twitched twice, Liang Ren really didn't bother to deal with this pretending guy.

Essentially, Liang Ren's expectations for "The Sixth Sense" and Richard? Feynman is completely different!

For this American, "The Sixth Sense" is a film project, at most, the investment is not low, and because of the addition of Liang Ren, the big brother in the Chinese film industry, its profit prospects are optimistic - not to mention that no matter from which point of view, "The Sixth Sense" is a rhythm to make a lot of money!

But for Liang Ren, the meaning of "The Sixth Sense" is extraordinary!

In the past two years, the decline of ancient costume masterpieces has become more and more obvious, and audiences who are tired of it no longer buy it, and two consecutive domestic movies have lost money. As the leader of the costume blockbuster, although Liang Ren was lured by the high salary and dividends, he took over the next "Xuanwu Gate" not long ago, but deep down he was already quite anxious about his future.

Chinese filmmakers may shoot this genre alive!

Originally, this kind of super big production of "thick oil red sauce", released every year or every two years, will definitely become a hit in the film market, and it can also make this type of Chinese film become an international hot commodity. But the problem is that the development of Chinese films has surpassed a lot on the earth, and the strong national strength and mature market have also made capital no longer satisfied with the domestic market, and eager to go out!

The result is the rhythm of at least two blockbusters a year, which quickly gave birth to a large number of elite directors and actors of costume blockbusters, and at the same time, it also made the genre quickly die.

There are already many such examples on the planet.

Originally, as the biggest beneficiary of this phenomenon, Liang Ren was not qualified to complain, but he could plan for his future early - he was only in his forties, far from relying on seniority to eat and wait for death, Liang Ren still had greater ambitions and expectations!

So in the movie "The Sixth Sense", Liang Ren cannot afford to lose!

Otherwise, with his identity and status as the number one movie star in China, he will work hard for Mao to become a young screenwriter who has just entered the industry for less than two years? It's not because there are only a few people in China who can write scripts that can be recognized by Europe and the United States, and only Sun Peng has the highest success rate among these people!

As for directly participating in European and American movies......

After so many years in the circle, Liang Ren knew very well what those people were thinking, which was nothing more than asking himself to help develop the Chinese market. Even so, perhaps because he looks down on Chinese filmmakers from the bottom of his heart, or because he is deeply jealous of this country with infinite potential, in short, after working together twice, Liang Ren found that it is difficult to get a really weighty role from the Yankees, or it is impossible to play that kind of heavyweight work at all!

In this case, Lao Bai naturally became the best choice......

Far from it.

In a word, the success of "The Sixth Sense", and the height it can eventually reach, not only determines Liang Ren's attitude towards cooperation with Lao Bai in the future, but may also determine the future development direction of Liang Ren - if such a wonderful script as "The Sixth Sense" will fail, then the road to transformation may be even more difficult......

"Haha, that's amazing!"

Just as Liang Ren was pondering and his steps were gradually slowing down, the agent, who had been paying attention to the box office figures, suddenly shouted excitedly.

"The results are out? How much is the first day?! ”

Liang Ren hasn't reacted from his contemplation, and Richard, who has been sitting steadily? Feynman instantly snapped up and asked urgently.

“……”

The corners of his mouth twitched again, and Liang Ren looked at Richard? Feynman's eyes were full of contempt. This guy looked so calm just now, it looks like he's all pretending?

Rubbing his hands, Ye Tian exclaimed excitedly: "Six million dollars on the first day, ranking first in the new film!" ”

"Second in the new film? What about the overall ranking? ”

Liang Ren's heart suddenly burst into action, and he hurriedly asked.

The result of $6.4 million was expected, so Liang Ren didn't dig into it at all. Although he is the No. 1 movie star in China and is also well-known in Europe and the United States, just like the big brother Cheng on the earth, not all movies can attract attention and get a lot of box office, so for a foreigner-starred "low-cost" thriller, the box office of 6.4 million is enough to be satisfied.

You must know that this is a summer vacation, and there are blockbuster movies released almost every week.

"The Heart of the Brave", which was released at the same time as "The Sixth Sense", a movie about America's overseas wars, is the big production of the week, and the starring role is Julian of Hollywood's 20 million club? Carter, Liang Ren never thought that he could defeat his opponent from the beginning, and it was great to be able to finish second.

The question is......

The statement that the new film ranked second made Liang Ren a little flustered.

Why is it emphasized that it is the second in the new film?

Ye Tian can understand it very well, so he immediately explained: "The sci-fi movie "The Heart of the Brave" released last week had a good reputation, and this week's decline was only 35%, winning the runner-up position at today's box office...... But don't worry too much, they will only have more than one million more box office than "The Sixth Sense", and we will definitely be able to surpass it if we have a good reputation in the future. ”

"Heart of the Brave, one of Harris's highlights this year!"

After listening to Ye Tian's words, Richard? Feynman smiled with a natural smile: "The publicity cost alone exceeded 100 million US dollars, and it is not surprising that it can achieve such a box office in the second week...... Haha, $6.4 million, that's a great result! Congratulations, Liang, you have succeeded once again! ”

“…… Thank you. ”

With a smile barely squeezed out of his face, Liang Ren nodded.

Richard? Feynman certainly has reason to be happy, because the box office of more than 6 million on the first day, as long as the reputation is not bad, there should be no problem with 30 million in the first weekend, and then the total box office may be able to rush to 100 million US dollars. And then with Liang Ren in Asia...... Especially the huge influence of the super market of Huaxia, the global box office of 500 million US dollars must be stable. From the point of view of cost and benefit, there is no doubt that the movie The Sixth Sense can make a lot of money.

But......

"Six and a half million dollars, less than a million more than Kill Bill?"

Don't manage Chad? Feynman and his agent were so excited, but Liang Ren felt uncomfortable in his heart at this time.

How many years did it take him to establish his current status and popularity in North America, and how many years did that old white rise? And it's also a movie starring foreigners, but there are countless white and black faces in "The Sixth Sense", and then that's the result?

So even if this result is the result of the previous evaluation, Liang Ren is still disappointed after hearing it.

"Huh? That's amazing! ”

Just when Liang Ren sighed repeatedly, the agent Ye Tian continued to look at the phone, and suddenly screamed in surprise.

"Huh? What's so awesome? Which movie? ”

Facing Richard? Feynman's question, Ye Tian bit his lip and praised again and again: "It's not a movie, it's another king of our Huaxia...... Luo Cheng, Richard, do you know? ”

"Of course, one of the most famous singers in China...... I know! ”

Halfway there, Richard? Feynman immediately looked like he had a sudden realization.

During this time, he has watched the news from Huaxia, and naturally knows very well that compared with the release of "The Sixth Sense", the launch of the new album cooperated by Luo Cheng and Lao Bai is the most interesting news!

So after thinking about it, Richard? Feynman's heart moved: "Ye, could it be said that his new album has good results?" ”

"Good? No, no, it shouldn't be said to be good! ”

Hurriedly waved his hand, Ye Tian sighed with a complicated expression: "At least in my opinion, this achievement can be called a miracle......
