I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

This kind of director generally has two endings in the follow-up, or the work is actually hanged and beaten, and then it becomes a joke for everyone.

Either he really fulfilled what he said, pretended to be a success, and made people marvel at "let him pretend again".

If it were any other goal, Cao Song might feel that it was possible for Lu Juan to achieve it, but this 130 billion goal is the last of a classic work that has surpassed more than ten years, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible.

"Director Lu, it seems that you have high expectations for the box office and reputation of "Magic Tide". I want to know how you think "Magic Tide" will affect the domestic film industry?"

The host said with emotion.

"This is not an expectation, but a goal. I have always been down-to-earth, and I will not do things that I cannot do or are not sure about."

Lu Jian replied again.

"As for the impact of "Magic Tide" on the development of the domestic film industry, I think that the release of "Magic Tide" means that this type of film will no longer be a patent in Europe and the United States, and such epic blockbusters can also be produced in China. The impact on domestic counterparts is probably like this.”

Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!

===316. It is our duty===

"It seems that Director Lu still has great confidence in our domestic film market."

The host Cao Song thinks that when it comes to industry topics, Lu Yi should be able to express a lot of opinions. This is also the purpose of this interview, because the audience are all students of Yannan Communication University. For these young people who have not yet stepped into society , it is important to have an intuitive understanding of the industry.

As a newcomer who graduated less than two years ago, Lu Yi should have a similar but different understanding of the industry from these college students, and he can provide valuable reference opinions.

"If the box office of "Magic Tide" can reach our goal, then it will be the box office champion of this year. Under such circumstances, this means that we are the number one movie powerhouse."

Lu Jian opened his mouth and said.

"???"

The host Cao Song was taken aback.

Can this be so crazy?

"Wait, Director Lu, even if "Magic Tide" can earn 130 billion box office and win this year's box office champion, it doesn't mean that our country's film strength can be compared with Europe and the United States, right?"

The college students present also agreed with Cao Song's statement.

There are one or two movies that are very popular and have a high box office. It is just an example. Just like in the past, there are movies in China that can get a box office of 50 billion. But many people say that these movies are just to please the Chinese people, and they have no international influence. However, domestic films are still stuck in a backward era.

"Then how can it be compared to Europe and the United States?"

Lu Bian asked back.

"Although we are already the largest film market in the world, although we have formed a film genre belonging to our own market, although our film box office has been able to reach billions, although under the positive domestic box office confrontation, our own films are no longer It lags behind foreign countries, but it is still not on par with Europe and the United States.”

His words silenced everyone present.

Indeed, this is what everyone thinks.

When it comes to movies, it must be Oscars, Palme d'Or, Golden Bears, etc. If you don't win these awards, then this movie is the pride of the Chinese people.

On some movie websites, foreign movies generally have high scores, while domestic movies generally have low scores. It is racial equality for foreigners to change the original heroine to black because of political correctness. The domestic rational adaptation background becomes a random fabrication. The same plot , Foreign directors' filming is a wonderful reversal, and domestic filming is plagiarism and reference.

After all, many people, whether they are ordinary viewers or film and television practitioners, feel that they are inferior in their hearts.

Even if the films of other countries show black people, some people will come to clean up the land, because for them, foreign films are good and correct.

"When our films were booming at the box office, some people said that we had to win awards at international film festivals to show that the film was well shot. High box office was only a commercial film, because the audience's aesthetic level was low. When our films won awards in the international , and some people say that this is a purely artistic film, which is specially filmed for the judges and has no commercial value."

Lu Jian paused and looked at the others.

"So, can we make a film that can win an international film festival award and sell well, and make money standing up?"

The crowd was silent.

In this case, normal people dare not say it.

Only a madman would think he could do it.

Technology, talents, funds, and various conditions are all behind people, and the most important thing is that the right to speak about relevant reviews is still in the hands of others.

Only those movies that show the backwardness, ignorance, and feudalism of one's own country, and only those movies that depict idyllic paintings and simple and old-fashioned can win the favor of the judges and audience.

But Lu Jian doesn't think that, having seen countless movies in the two worlds, he feels that the domestic movies in this world have developed quite well. Works of national cinema.

"I will keep everything about domestic films."

Lu Jian clenched his fists in front of the audience.

Of course, he is not brave.

If "Magic Tide" can be sold well both at home and abroad, then ordinary people's enthusiasm for watching movies will definitely increase greatly, and his movies will definitely set higher box office records in the future. Who knows what conditions will be required to complete future career development tasks, If there is a box office of 50 billion US dollars, then Lu Juan can only point a gun at the heads of these audiences and let them buy tickets one by one.

In addition, if the box office revenue of "Magic Tide" is less than 50 billion, then Lu Juan may ask Song Yunyan to help him and subsidize him.

For Song Yunyan, who doesn't even bat an eye when dealing with billions of dollars, it shouldn't be a big problem to support her billions!

I am not just making a movie, this is saving the world!

Lu Jian has reason and evidence.

Seeing Lu Jian's confidence and determination to subvert the past, the students of Yannan Communication University were also infected and excited, clenching their fists and eager to try.

Young people are the most excited. What's more, many of these people have not experienced the era when domestic movies and TV shows were comprehensively beaten, and they don't have the kind of xenophobic thoughts engraved in their bones. Therefore, they are even more excited when they hear Lu Jian's words .

"So, the release of "Magic Tide" this time is not just a movie, but a challenge letter from domestic movies to overseas movies. Perhaps in the past, domestic movies have always been inferior to foreign movies, but now, we have the opportunity to compete with them. In World War I, students, it is our duty to defend the glory of domestic films."

Lu Jian also stood up and issued a call.

The host Cao Song was a little confused for a while.

Isn't this a light-hearted talk show? Why did it suddenly involve a confrontation between domestic and foreign movies?

However, Cao Song also felt that what Lu Juan said was right, they needed some works to enhance the self-confidence of young people, so that more people would devote themselves to the film and television industry.

Although the process took a long way, unexpectedly, Lu Jian's words made the program take a shortcut to reach the destination.

This interview with Lu Yi was quickly recorded and circulated on the Internet after being edited in various ways.

Some of them highlight key points, expressing Lu Juan's expectations for new films and his views on the development of domestic films, while others cut out three sentences to portray Lu Juan as an arrogant and arrogant director.

For example, in many forums and chat groups, the screenshots of Lu Yi's live broadcast were made into a long picture with what he said.

Lines such as "This means that we are the number one film powerhouse", "I will hold on to everything about domestic films", "It is our duty to defend the glory of domestic films" are all on it, and at the end it is followed by "If you get 130 billion, you will be successful. "It really seems that Lu Lian is extremely arrogant.

Soon, on the Internet, Lu Jian got another nickname.

Crazy Little Lu!

===317. The first day box office win or loss===

November is coming to an end, and with the sudden drop in temperature, people in North America have not cooled down.

Black Friday’s big promotions have set a new record for the sales of major shopping malls, and movie theaters are naturally a pastime choice after shopping. However, due to the skipped tickets of "Fast 11" this year, the Thanksgiving schedule seems a little tired.

In December, snow began to fall in many places in the country, and it was time for northerners to laugh at southerners for not seeing the world. During this time, Lu Jian has been announcing and distributing it in various places in the country, stirring up the popularity of "Magic Tide".

Up to now, Lu Jian has two ways to publicize and release in the future. The first is to show "Magic Tide" in some movie theaters in advance to accumulate word of mouth.

In the end, Lu Juan didn't choose to order it, because he wanted to keep the suspense until the last moment.

Moreover, the films that are screened are usually films that the audience lacks confidence in. For "Magic Tide", the audience's expectations are very high. In the case of reselling, in the second-hand market, the price of pre-sale tickets has been fired two or three times.

There is still a week before Christmas, and Lu Jian is faced with another problem.

That is whether the premiere of Zero Point is at home or abroad.

Foreign cinemas invited Lu Yi to go to New York's Times Square for the unveiling, while in China, of course, it was Jiangcheng Cinemas.

Logically speaking, "Magic Tide" was released simultaneously globally for the first time, and "Deadly Speed ​​11" was also released at midnight. Premiere.

But Lu Jian did not go abroad, but stayed in Jiangcheng.

In Lu Jian's words, the premiere of Chinese films must stay in China.

What's more, the domestic zero point arrives earlier.

Christmas, in Europe and the United States, is a day for family reunion. Christmas trees, Christmas dinner, Christmas songs, Santa Claus, and a strong festive atmosphere envelope the city.

On the Internet, the debate about "Deadly Speed ​​11" and "Magic Tide" has also reached the most intense stage.

[I think we should support "Fatal Speed ​​11", this is a movie made in our own country, why should we spend money to watch movies made by foreigners? 】

[Why do I still have to discuss nationality when I watch a movie, dude?Shouldn't you just watch whichever one looks good, or watch them all? 】

[I've seen the advertisement for "Magic Tide", it seems to be a fantasy type, there are not many such movies recently, I may choose to look at the score after the release the next day]

[Have a good Christmas, wouldn't it be nice to spend more time with your family? Don't you all have girlfriends? 】

[No, even if "Magic Tide" is not good-looking, there will be no one who wants to watch the sequel of "Deadly Speed", since the previous ones brought back the dead characters and turned the hero's wife into a Black people, I think this movie can’t be saved]

[Then here comes the question, a movie about black people and a movie about yellow people, which one do you choose to watch? 】

[Hey buddy, was what you just said racist? 】

[I don’t think these two works are worth spending money to watch. Both are male-dominated, so there is no room for women to make decisions. Is this saying that women can’t work in modern society? I want to boycott it! 】

The focus of the debate is probably on whom to support. Both sides insist on their own opinions, and there are people sitting on the fence to watch the fun. No matter which country they are in, this situation will happen.

In China, there is not so much attention to Christmas. Except for discounts and promotions in some stores, and Christmas trees in some commercial plazas, it is an ordinary end of the year.

For many people, Christmas is not as good as the following New Year's Day, at least there is a holiday on New Year's Day.

The Jiangcheng Cinema was crowded with people.

The pre-sale tickets at zero o'clock have long been sold out, but according to the current box office forecast, the first-day pre-sale box office of "Deadly Speed ​​11" far exceeds that of "Magic Tide" in other places except China.

After all, it is the last part of the series for more than ten years, and many old fans also want to watch the premiere for their feelings.

Moreover, Lu Lian's previous speech was full of gunpowder, which made some people wish that Lu Lian would overturn crazily and be hanged by foreign movies.

"It should snow in Jiangcheng tonight."

Standing outside the cinema, Feng Yu looked at the gloomy sky.

"It fits the occasion."

Lu Jian wore a mask to prevent unnecessary harassment. Looking at the entrance of the cinema, which was still lively near zero, he sighed.
