"Martin, this kid is really lucky!"

Sitting quietly in the chairman's office on the top floor of the S1 office, Van Lunding played with an expensive limited edition fountain pen in his hand, looked at McGee, the chairman of the office in front of him, and said.

McGee looked at Van Lunding with a smile on her face, and she didn't look at her employees at all.

Although Van Lunding has a contract with him, this kind of world-class director makes him have to face it solemnly.

"It seems that Ellie's child has grown up to make Mr. Van Lunding feel dangerous!" McGee laughed.

Fan Lunding snorted coldly, his face was full of indifference, but in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh.

He still remembers the scene when Ellie joined his crew three years ago and became the heroine of the most mandatory zuò of S1 and the most coercive zuò in the world.

That was the biggest failure of S1 and the biggest failure of his Van Lunding.

Because he cared too much about special effects, he introduced the latest special effects technology, but he encountered a playback problem when it was released. Because, the movies they make can't show their special effects on 80% of the previous generation movie screens!

No movie theater will update its equipment for a movie, naturally, which leads to the fact that the expectations caused by this movie to the audience are completely inconsistent with the final table xiàn effect, and the huge gap has made the movie get countless bad reviews!

And Van Lunding, the director who made his fortune by relying on literary films and won numerous awards, gave full play to his literary and artistic characteristics in this film, and made a commercial film that was expected to become the world's best-selling commercial film. stunned that it was made with mixed reputations, and few people can understand the deep meaning of the philosophical literary film!

This did not bring any benefits to the film at all, the mixture of commercial films and literary films not only affected the box office, but also affected the prestige of the film, allowing Van Lunding to spend his only time. A year without winning any film awards!

The box office is not good, the word of mouth is not good, and almost everyone has to admit that S1 has planted a big heel.

Even, at that time, there were countless predictions that S1 would fall to the position of the world's No. 1 firm because of this!

However, the end result was that S1 did not fail. On the contrary, the development is more perfect!

Because, in this almost useless movie, a girl's appearance has not only become the only bright spot in it, but even supported the whole movie on a certain distance!

She is the Ellie who used unknown means to become the heroine of the movie!

Van Lunding sighed in his heart.

In his home. The script of the trilogy of up to 1.6 million words is still in his safe, but in this life. But it's no longer possible to take it out.

"Next month, Mr. Van Lunding and Ellie's movie will be released at the same time, right?" McGee asked, "I really want to see what kind of wonderful chemistry will be produced when the showdown between the No. 1 director and the No. 1 idol in the studio will be!" ”

Fan Lunding subconsciously clenched his fists, "Ellie is not just good at acting. The director's talent is not bad, however, there are some things that cannot be achieved overnight. ”

There was a confident look on his face, but McGee read a hint of panic in his eyes.

"Let's figure out how you're doing. Idiot! McGee said in his heart, "What first director?" You're the only one who can be ranked first, right? Don't listen to me? Hmph, you insist on not listening, now that I have Ellie's big card in my hand, I want to see how long you can hold your noble head high in front of me! ”

……

"Ellie, the movie "A Space Odyssey" has not yet been released, and the world's attention to the aviation industry has increased by 30 percent, and even the aviation authority has called to express its gratitude!" Martin said with a smile.

Petite, wearing a long black dress, Lori Beast Niang nodded calmly, "This is just the beginning, what I hope is that everyone can really start their own space voyage and space exploration, and finally, more connections with other planets, so that more people can see my works." ”

Martin laughed, "Ellie, you really know how to laugh, the Aviation Bureau has not been able to find traces of aliens for so many years, and in this world, it is obvious that there are no aliens." ”

The beast girl Ellie didn't bother to explain anything to him, shook her head, and immediately said, "Regardless of this, let's calculate how much the box office may be this time." This time the investment is too little, too much plot has been deleted, and I don't want it to be like this next time. ”

Martin suddenly showed a wry smile.

If the investment in this "Space Odyssey" is still small, then there is really no movie in the world that can be called a lot of investment.

The investment of 5 billion has always been one of the important publicity points of this movie, and this figure can be said to have never appeared in the entire film history!

He couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Ellie, you're a rookie director after all, if this movie fails, it's a catastrophe, how do you look like you're not worried at all?" Martin asked curiously.

The investment of five billion, in other words, anyone will be frightened, Ellie can quietly finish the movie is good enough, and now she is not worried about the box office at all, but is thinking about how much investment she can get next time, this kind of mentality is not something Martin can guess.

"My first film invested three million, and the box office was two billion, this one, I have enough time and investment, why do you think I will lose money?" Ellie asked.

Martin naturally couldn't reply that it was precisely because you didn't have anything to lose in the last film, so I wouldn't be worried.

Naturally, I could only smile and stop talking.

But if you think about it carefully, considering Ellie's strength, this subconsciously has more confidence.

After all, under the low reputation of Van Lunding's half-cut magic film, he can use the theme and background of this movie to create a low-budget romantic comedy for the second time, and use his debut film to achieve a box office score of more than 2 billion, no matter how you think about it, it can be described as a miracle.

"Hopefully, Ellie, you can also create a zào miracle this time." Martin forced a smile and said, "By the way, this time director Van Lunding's comeback will be released at the same time as you!" ”

"So what?" Ellie shook her head, "He's already gone!" ”

"This movie, definitely not!"

Just when Ellie came to a conclusion, Van Lunding also made a conclusion about her film, "Science fiction movies, and this kind of hard science fiction movies, movies that focus on depicting space scenes and adventurous spirits, have never sold well in the film market!" And the most important thing is that she wrote, directed and acted in this movie! Do you know what this means? In a movie that should be full of the scientific spirit of Yan Sù, there will be a very unpleasant face of a little girl in it! ”

Van Lunding was not even happy to watch the sample film sent by Martin, so he said directly, "If she changes the protagonist, I will still have some expectations for her box office, hmph, her age is already destined for her narrow drama path, and she wants to rely on her idol effect to increase the number of viewers?" How many idiots she thinks there are on this planet! ”

"Wait, in a month, her tragic appearance will definitely be more exciting than her movie!"

A remark was originally said by his own home and assistant, but it was inexplicably stolen by those ubiquitous paparazzi, and the next day, it was published in the newspaper.

"Van Lunding sentenced 'A Space Odyssey' to death, and rookie director Ellie's failure is in sight?"

"The top ten reasons for the failure of "Space Odyssey", the well-known director Van Lunding personally analyzed!"

"Does a successful idol mean a successful director? Ellie's new film is coming, and the storm is back! ”

There are many popular people, and after Ellie's step to the sky, not only did she not decline, but became a rising star who became more and more popular, and naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

Rookie directors, coupled with the special theme of science fiction, are already the ones that have caused countless topics.

At this time, the impact of Van Lunding's few small talks on public opinion is obvious.

Ellie has a lot of fans, and these are die-hard fans of Ellie since her first appearance on the screen, and they have a deep affection for Ellie.

They have started a war of words with people on the Internet, although they are extremely tough, but they have never been able to compare with the larger number of opposition parties, and they have failed again and again, and until the eve of the movie's release, they are still defeated.

No way, everyone's sanity tells them, Ellie, it's absolutely impossible to succeed!

It was in this situation that the movie was released.

"Three and a half million box office ......" Van Lunding looked at the pitiful number and immediately laughed.

The same-sex movie directed by him has reached a box office of 80 million at this time, and it is definitely not a problem to break through 200 million in one day, and at this time, "A Space Odyssey", which has always been at the center of public opinion, only has a box office of 3.5 million!

"She's dead!" Van Lunding snorted coldly.

With that, he turned around and went back into the house.

Later, a reporter will come to interview him, how to express his pity for the box office failure of "Space Odyssey" with a tactful attitude, this is a problem that needs to be thought about.

However, he never expected that the first question that the reporter asked was to make him dumbfounded.

"Director Van Lunding, may I ask, what do you think of the box office of "Space Odyssey" breaking 100 million in five hours?" (To be continued......)
