I Forged the Myth of the Old Ones

"Let's wait and see, a new legend is born."

The hostess gave a generous speech, which made many people stop to watch, and the screen behind her showed that in North America, "Deadly Speed ​​11" crushed "Magic Tide" at the box office on the first day and became today's box office champion.

And just when the speech and video, which seemed to be declaring victory, were spread on the Internet and transported to China, the box office statistics on the first day in China were also released.

===320.Let the bullets fly first===

"Director Lu Juan, what do you think about the box office failure of "Magic Tide" in North America?"

The reporter asked Lu Yi, when the box office came out on the first day in North America, it was already noon the next day in China. In the domestic box office competition on the first day, "Magic Tide" achieved nearly 11 million box office. If the time is counted at zero , then "Magic Tide" will far surpass "Deadly Speed ​​[-]" and become the box office champion of the day.

Although the single-day box office did not exceed the previous one-billion record for the Lunar New Year holiday, as a domestic fantasy epic movie, this box office is still a record.

Of course, the domestic premiere of "Fatal Speed ​​11" is at noon, so when foreign countries count their box office for one day, half an extra day has already passed in China.

Therefore, the domestic media choose to count the box office within 24 hours after the release.

The statistical results have just been announced. The box office of "Magic Tide" exceeded 11 million on the first day, but "Deadly Speed ​​2000" completed a counterattack in the North American market, which was about [-] million more than "Magic Tide".

Suddenly, there was an uproar in the media.

At this time, Lu Jian was being interviewed at the Jiangcheng Cinema. When he learned of the result, he didn't have much emotion.

The box office of [-] million on the first day of the world is already quite good.

And Lu Yi noticed that the pre-sale box office of "Magic Tide" was only 2000 million US dollars, and finally the first day box office reached 5000 million US dollars, which was twice as much as the pre-sale tickets.

The pre-sale of "Fatal Speed ​​11" in North America was close to 3000 million US dollars. In fact, the box office on the first day was [-] million US dollars, which was only [-]% more than the pre-sale.

This means one thing, that is, the box office of "Fatal Speed ​​11" will decline rapidly and shrink in the next few days, because most people who want to watch this movie choose to watch it on the first day. And it happens that Christmas is the weekend, so it is hard to say that there will be a rebound in movie viewing on the weekend.

This is still in the case of nearly [-]% of the film schedule.

And "Magic Tide" is a typical curve of a new director's new movie. It reaped an excess box office on the first day with a low-ranking film, and then waited for the word-of-mouth to ferment, and it was time for a counterattack.

It's just that some people are in a hurry.

"Director Lu Juan, you once let go of your bold words and wanted to defend the glory of domestic films, but now you are defeated by foreign films, how do you feel?"

"Do you have any expectations for the next box office? Do you want to change your original goal?"

"The box office of "Magic Tide" failed compared to "Deadly Speed ​​11". Does it mean that the domestic film industry wants to catch up with foreign countries, or it will take a long time?"

"Director Lu, what do you think about foreign film critics' comments that the ideological core of the people's united struggle in "Magic Tide" is not as good as American individual heroism?"

In the huge projection hall, countless reporters pressed the shutter and raised their microphones in front of Lu Yi, trying to ask Lu Yi for his opinion.

In this regard, Lu Jian raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.

He knew very well that among the reporters sitting below, as well as in the newspapers, magazines, websites, and media behind these reporters, there were people who just wanted to watch him roll over.

Some people always think that foreign films are superior, and that foreign films are higher than domestic films in terms of artistic level and commercial level, so they are unwilling to accept domestic films' box office or word-of-mouth success, and they are happier than watching their own films overturn.

Some people simply think that Lu Juan's current movies prevent him from making bad movies and making money. After breaking the original film and television industry structure with "Crying", Lu Juan has always been regarded as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh by these people.

There are also people who are simply envious of Lu Jian's works, applauded and well-received, feel that they are underappreciated, think that Lu Jian is just lucky, blame others, and can't wait to watch Lu Jian's building collapse.

But Lu Jian didn't care.

If it weren't for the goal of 50 billion, he would not be interested in being interviewed in front of people.

Wouldn't it be better to concentrate on reading other books to enrich yourself or watch two more movies to relax?

Lu Jian didn't speak until the theater became quiet.

"Everyone, let the bullets fly for a while."

Hearing Lu Jian's speech, many people didn't understand what it meant.

After all, there is no film in this world that can apply for intangible cultural heritage. Many people probably don't understand what it means.

But there were also people who roughly understood what Lu Jian meant from this sentence, and showed a thoughtful expression.

"Congratulations to "Fatal Speed ​​11" which won a global box office of close to one billion on the first day. I also watched this movie. It is the end of a series full of feelings and memories. I believe that whether you have seen the previous series of movies or not, the audience will be satisfied." Everyone can get moved from this movie, the special effects, actors’ performances, and plot arrangements are all excellent, representing the highest level of the Hollywood film industry, I think everyone can go and see it.”

Hearing that Lu Jian suddenly praised his opponent's movie, many reporters were at a loss and at a loss.

Is this Lu Lian brain watt?

How did you help your opponent start publicity?

Was he crazy from being overwhelmed?

Just when some reporters wanted to make use of the topic and asked whether Lu Juan had admitted the failure of his own film and domestic films, Lu Juan continued to speak.

"That's why I finally felt relieved."

"Because the opponent is so strong and excellent, it is worth defeating. It is precisely because the opponent has demonstrated its quality with actions. When "Magic Tide" surpasses it and wins this year's box office champion, the value will be reflected."

"If "Deadly Speed ​​11" is a bad movie, a shoddy popcorn movie that only relies on its own IP to sell its feelings and trick the audience into the cinema to cut leeks, then even if "Magic Tide" defeats such an opponent , Many people will also say that this year's box office champion is watery and does not have enough gold content, and it can only be won by picking up leaks."

"So, I am very grateful to director Serrell and his "Deadly Speed ​​11". It is their excellence that makes "Magic Tide" even better."

"I, Lu Juan, never kill unknown people."

Hearing what Lu Jian said, most of them, whether they supported Lu Jian or opposed him before, had the same idea in their minds.

This guy is so crazy! ! !

Facing the defeat on the first day, Lu Juan didn't even show loss or regret, instead he thought it was his opponent showing his value.

Did he hide some killer weapon, or did he have other plans?

Looking at the bewildered reporters, Lu Jian raised a finger.

"Next, the single-day box office of "Magic Tide" will continue to reach the top until the movie is released. I am honored to witness history with everyone, thank you all."

===321. Next, I will keep going to the top===

Lu Jian's interview caused an uproar in China.

After all, he contributed a lot of famous quotes in his previous interviews, but in this interview, in the face of losing to "Fatal Speed ​​11" at the box office on the first day, he actually reversed his thinking and called it to reflect the gold content of victory. While people were dumbfounded, they contributed another wave of Bibles.

For a while, the box office competition surrounding these two films entered a more intense stage.

On social networking sites and the media, both sides for and against Lu Juan have their own opinions.

[Lu Jian is too good, this is the arrogance that young directors should have, those submissive appearances in the past are really enough! ! ! 】

[Pure passer-by, I have watched both movies, and from the ending point of view, "Deadly Speed ​​11" is more enjoyable]

[To be honest, I watched "Deadly Speed ​​11" first and then "Magic Tide". 11 "Those explosions, don't be too embarrassing, this is the end of the explosion! 】

[It is said that real cars were blown up during the filming of "Deadly Speed ​​11". This real-location shooting, rich and powerful, what are the special effects? 】

[One thing to say, I am a bit of a fan of Lu Juan now, and I have turned to passers-by. If I lose, I just admit that I lost, and I have to make excuses, and now I have to achieve 30 days of box office champions within a month. There is no movie Can it be done? 】

[Do you have some common sense upstairs? The domestic box office record for consecutive days is still "Avada" ten years ago. It was released for ten weeks and won the box office champion for ten weeks. There is no one after that.]

[But the one-day champion Lu Yi refers to the world?It feels more difficult! 】

[Anyway, it's all bragging, and I even brag about the single-day box office champion of the universe! 】

[But to be honest, after watching "Magic Tide", I watched other special effects movies, and I felt that they were fake. Lu Juan is a sinner. He spoiled my appetite. I used to watch very good movies , now just feel fake. 】

[It's useless for you to quarrel here, just look at the box office and you'll know, maybe the next day's box office will be overturned by Lu Juan. 】

Lu Jian's words also spread abroad. For foreigners who are direct and open, Lu Jian's words are a bit too arrogant, which has attracted the attention of many people.

The New York Times made a special report "Lu Yi: A Young Director Who Started from Horror Films", carefully investigated Lu Yi's previous experience, and restored his growth and fortune to a certain extent, but it may be due to the information from both sides. Poor, their investigation is not complete.

For example, the reporter mistook the relationship between Lu Juan and Jiangcheng Industrial, thinking that Lu Juan joined the film and television industry because of the sponsorship of Jiangcheng Industrial, and also dug out the women around Lu Juan, claiming that he had an extraordinary relationship with more than one woman. Relationship.

On Twitter and other social media, the popularity of "Magic Tide" quickly reached the No.1 trend. Compared with this movie, many people are more curious about the handsome young director Lu Juan who has arrogant speeches.

However, most people think that Lu Yi is really just arrogant. He said that he can win the box office champion until the release is bragging.

Many people think that the next day's box office, Lu Juan, may be on his knees at the speed of light.

However, when the next day's box office statistics ended, everyone was dumbfounded.

The box office of "Deadly Speed ​​11" fell to less than 80 million on the second day, a drop of more than half. This is actually normal. The estimated global box office of this movie is about [-] billion. Combined with the previous situation of the series, this drop is not bad. that's it.

However, what is surprising is "Magic Tide".

On the second day of Christmas, this Sunday, the global box office of "Magic Tide" reached one billion, almost tying the single-day box office record set by the big-budget Lunar New Year film during the Spring Festival.

Naturally, at this point in time, "Magic Tide" is a well-deserved global box office champion.

Moreover, adding up the box office of the two days, "Magic Tide" is like the rangers in the movie who survived a desperate situation, and it has counterattacked and surpassed the box office of "Deadly Speed ​​11".

On the big screen in New York Times Square, several guests had a discussion with the hostess.

"It's never been seen before. I've never seen this type of movie with such a strong staying power. Its box office on the second day even surpassed the first day. Now it seems that "Fatal Speed ​​11" can reach one on the first day." The box office of 5000 million US dollars is because it can reach this figure, and the box office of "Magic Tide" is 5000 million US dollars because its lineup is only enough for [-] million US dollars!"

"I watched these two films yesterday. I think that "Magic Tide" has a level that can compete with our film industry, and even surpass it in many places. It is hard for me to believe that one day, Hollywood will not be able to do anything else. The special effects in the national movie, but this thing really happened."

"The world shown in the movie is very wonderful and immersive. After watching it, I can't help but imagine how those people lived, their daily life, what other magic tides are like, and what is the purpose of this world. This feeling is only similar to when I first came into contact with the Dungeons and Dragons board game when I was a child in the basement of my cousin's house, Lu Jian, the young director, he created a world."

As for the hostess who had raved about "Deadly Speed ​​11" before, and even made a long speech, she showed an embarrassed yet polite smile.

"I am very grateful for the comments of several guests. Whether "Fatal Speed ​​11" can come back, and whether "Magic Tide" is really unstoppable, I hope everyone will continue to pay attention to the reports of this station."

The live broadcast was blacked out, and when it came back on again, it was already an advertisement for "Magic Tide".

There is no doubt that "Magic Tide" has broken the circle.

Whether it's the gimmick of the confrontation between Chinese and foreign films, or Lu Yi's arrogant speech, or even the box office failure on the first day, these things combine to form a story that is enough to attract attention.

And what the Internet likes most these days is stories.

Whether the powerful Hollywood films will continue to suppress and extinguish the offensive of domestic films, or whether the confident and arrogant young director will pull domestic films to the same level as the world's highest level by himself, whether "Magic Tide" can counterattack, these It's all interesting enough to entertain even those who don't usually watch movies.

Watching and watching, these people who don't usually go to the cinema will run into the cinema curiously to find out.

Lu Jian's goal was achieved.

In fact, the major theaters are not fools. After seeing the amazing first-day digestibility of "Magic Tide", the schedule of "Magic Tide" began to increase from the second day onwards. Tide" has surpassed "Deadly Speed ​​11" in North America.

A week later, "Magic Tide" really did what Lu Jian said, firmly occupying the first place in the global box office for a whole week.
