The superstar starts from the termination of the contract

Chapter 1106 Because you are Lu Fan!
While Lu Fan and the others were busy doing promotions across the country, the United States on the other side of the ocean was also promoting the movie "Red Fan District".

It's just that for those foreign audiences, the presence of this movie directed by Chinese people is not so strong.

Although the movie was praised on the promotional posters and in the introductions of various media, the audience still prefers another action movie.

A martial arts movie starring Thomas and bringing together many famous movie stars.

Speaking of this movie, Lu Fan is actually no stranger. When he met Bill for the first time, the other party invited him to play a role in the movie, but he rejected it.

It was the film that insulted the Chinese. Although Lu Fan refused, there were many Chinese actors rushing to appear in it!

After all, this is the stage of Hollywood, and Bill's film and television company has a lot of resources. As long as he is willing, he may really be able to support an unknown newcomer.

As long as one becomes famous in Hollywood, it is not just as simple as being a world-renowned movie star, but also fame and fortune.

It indicates that from now on, you will have flowers, applause, women, and money.

In this age of luxury and materialism, which ordinary person does not yearn for this brand new life?
Because Lu Fan's "Red Fan District" and "Iron Fist" starring Thomas were released on the same day, and "Iron Fist" was released by Bill, it naturally has more resources in publicity.

Countless movie fans are looking forward to the arrival of November [-]st. Thomas' movies have never disappointed them. It is said that this time is a big production, whether it is casting or fighting, they are all top-notch.

While the fans were looking forward to it, they saw that Bill's company was vigorously promoting the movie "Red Fan District", so they felt a little strange.

Two films of the same type are released together, and they are very hard-working in terms of publicity. For Bill's film and television company, isn't this a fight against itself?
There has never been such a situation before, so many fans have made various speculations. After all, in the copywriting of the promotion and introduction, "Red Fan District" is a work directed by a Chinese, and the protagonist is also A Chinese!
Oh, by the way, some movie fans remembered that the protagonist of "Red Fan District" is called Lu Fan, who is the Chinese man who was on the cover of Time Magazine before.

And relying on his own strength, he defeated the strongest artificial intelligence AlphaGo in the world today, and won the Samsung Go Championship.

Strange, how could Bill release a foreigner movie?
On a social networking site in the United States, many people have discussed this matter. Of course, many people are more optimistic about Thomas' "Iron Fist".

The reason is very simple. First, they naturally want to support actors from their own country. Second, Thomas is the successor of a kung fu superstar. Action movies in the future will all be supported by him. This is recognized by everyone, whether it is the media or movie fans. There is no denying this.

So for the theme of action movies, these American netizens do not support Thomas, but support the not-so-famous Lu Fan, that is their brain is broken!
"Oh my God, Thomas' Iron Fist is finally coming out!"

"Looking forward to his movie, my blood can't help but boil!"

"A lot of action actors are getting old now, besides Thomas, I really don't know whose action movie to watch."

"Have you noticed that Kaimei Film and Television Company seems to be promoting "Iron Fist" and "Red Fan District" at the same time. Does anyone know what movie "Red Fan District" is?"

"I watched it and it seems to be an action movie, but if it is released with Thomas' "Iron Fist", how can there be any way to survive?"

"The lead actor and director seem to be from China, which is beyond my expectation. When will Kaimei Company release foreign films? And the other party is still an unknown newcomer!"

"Maybe you are mistaken. Strictly speaking, the director of "Red Fan District" is not a newcomer. This year he also successfully entered the Oscar stage with an action movie."

"When it comes to movies, you may not have any impression of him, but if you mention the Chinese man who was on the cover of Time Magazine some time ago, I think there should be no one who doesn't know?"

"What? It's him!"

"..."

On foreign social platforms, many people already know about "Red Fan District".

After all, it would be unrealistic for Lu Fan to cause such a big commotion and to be on the cover of The Times in the United States.

For example, assuming a foreigner does something special, even if the official media such as China's People's Daily does not report it, Weibo, Douyin and other platforms will definitely release related news.

So even if you didn't know the existence of this person before, but because of the frequent reports of major media, you will definitely be driven by curiosity to check the information to have a simple understanding of this person.

Now Americans have a perception of Lu Fan, which is actually such a state.

Even if he didn't know him very well, he had definitely heard of this person's name before.

Under the introduction of others, many things gradually became clear. Many fans who were not optimistic about the action movie "Red Fan District" before have changed their views now.

It turns out that the director and starring role of "Red Fan District" is Lu Fan, the young man who directly defeated Thomas with Chinese Kung Fu on the Oscar stage!

He really knows kung fu, especially his first movie "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", many Americans have watched it, and to be honest, some people really like it.

At this time, the lovers of these action movies, from the beginning only looking forward to the movie "Iron Fist" by Thomas, have now turned into looking forward to "Red Fan District" which will land at the same time.

The reason is very simple. Lu Fan is really talented, and his action movies are also very exciting.

"It turned out to be him! No wonder Kaimei Company will promote a Chinese movie so vigorously!"

"His kung fu seems to be even better than Thomas, I'm looking forward to it!"

"Art has no borders. I hope everyone maintains a normal mentality and don't resist anything. This is good news for ordinary movie fans like us."

"Look, Kaimei Company has released a promotional video for the movie. This shot is really hot!"

"..."

A certain netizen suddenly commented, and then many Americans started to pay attention to the official account of Kaimei Company.

Although there are posters of newly released movies in public places such as streets and alleys, major shopping malls, but the online platform is always the fastest place to receive information.

And online promotion is also the most efficient and convenient way.

Half an hour ago, Kaimei Company released a promotional video about "Iron Fist", and half an hour later, it was the turn of "Red Fan District".

It can be seen that this time, Bill's Cammy Company has focused on promoting "Iron Fist" and "Red Fan District". Other movies have given very little resources.

Kaimei Film and Television is a head office, and there are countless branch companies under it. Each company shoots many movies at different time periods. Because there are too many branches, netizens who know the inside story are generally collectively referred to as Kaimei. film and television.

Because of that netizen's comment, many people ran to Kaimei Film and Television's account, wanting to see what the scene was that made the netizen exclaimed so much!
This promotional video is actually not very long, it takes less than 2 minutes in total, and it contains a total of two scenes.

Lu Fan was surrounded by them, and under the impact of the motorcycle, he could only climb up along the edge of the parking lot with his bare hands.

In the second scene, Lu Fan ran to the top floor and was forced by these gangsters to have no way out. He gritted his teeth and jumped from the top floor to the opposite balcony!

Regardless of whether there is a wire hanging during the filming, at least these two clips seem to be thrilling enough, and one's heart has to be raised in the throat, but at the same time there is a little excitement.

Because such a movie scene is really rare!
After watching these two scenes, many netizens were stunned for a while, and then, like that netizen, they posted comments under the video!

Almost all of them are positive comments, and no one has given a negative opinion.

"My God, such a scene is beyond my imagination!"

"The moment I jumped from the top floor to the opposite balcony, my whole body seemed to ache."

"The style of this movie is so exciting, I can't help but want to go on an adventure together."

"I think this "Red Fan District" is even better than Thomas' "Iron Fist"!"

"Thomas' "Iron Fist" has maintained a consistent standard, but "Red Zone" has given me an unexpected feeling."

"I found that I like this Chinese actor more and more!"

"Huaxia Kungfu really deserves its reputation!"

"..."

At that time, Lu Fan was working hard on the road show in China, hoping that the film would achieve a good result internationally, but he didn't know the situation in the United States.

Even when he got on the plane and headed to Los Angeles, he didn't expect that group of Americans were still looking forward to his new movie so much.

Before boarding the plane, Lu Fan jokingly chatted with other people, asking them what they thought of the movie, and whether the movie might become popular internationally.

Everyone said that the movie must be a hit. Although everyone seemed to be sincere, Lu Fan felt that they were perfunctory.

Combined with today's background, China's action movies have been on the decline for many years, not to mention in Hollywood, even if there are not many works that have achieved high box office in China.

The "Wolf Warrior" series can achieve the results it has today, because many people used the banner of patriotism, which led to more people passively watching this movie.

Of course, it is needless to say that "Wolf Warrior" is excellent. It can earn more than 50 billion at the box office, not only because of the word patriotism, but also has many merits.

If talking about patriotism can get a high box office, then there will be no movies that hit the street in China.

However, besides "Wolf Warrior", what other action movies can achieve good results?

There is a reason why everyone has no confidence.

Just now Lu Fan asked about the international results. If he asked about China or the box office in Asia, then all the staff would be able to say a lot of congratulatory messages.

When it comes to the international arena, many people lack confidence. Even the director and leading actor are Lu Fan who is like a god in everyone's mind!

Lu Fan didn't say anything about this. He was confident, but others might not be able to understand his thoughts, so even if he cheered for them, it would be better to give them an answer with real results!
The atmosphere on the plane was relatively active. Although everyone's confidence was not that high, it didn't mean there was no hope at all.

After all, the word Lu Fan is itself a miracle to many people.

After more than ten hours, everyone arrived in Los Angeles, where Bill arranged a long time ago to greet them. The treatment this time can be said to be quite high.

VIP cars worth tens of millions were waiting aside early on. Those staff members had never seen such a battle before, and they all sighed and talked in low voices.

Lu Fan greeted the leader, and then eight or nine people got into the VIP car directly. According to the leader's introduction, they first put their luggage back to the hotel, and then went to Bill's manor, where he prepared a sumptuous meal. The delicacies, for Lu Fan and others to clean up the dust.

Now that Bill and Bill are already allies, Lu Fan did not refuse, accepting this with peace of mind.

This is an extended version of the VIP car. Apart from the front cab, the rear body is divided into two areas. Lu Fan, Wang Wen, Lin Fanghua and others are sitting in the middle, and the head receptionist is on the sidelines. , and the other staff are sitting at the rear of the car.

The three areas have been partitioned, and the sound insulation effect is very good, so it can be said that they do not disturb each other.

After getting in the car, Wang Wen whispered to Lu Fan, "Did you pay attention just now? There were many posters about our movie at the airport."

Lu Fan nodded. In fact, he saw it as soon as he got off the plane. I have to say that Bill's promotion of the movie was comparable to what he had in China.

This is the Los Angeles International Airport. The daily flow of people does not know how big it is, and these passengers come from all over the world. If you hang movie posters in this place for publicity, the effect will naturally go without saying.

In fact, when Lu Fan was in China, he just told Bill to promote the movie well, and he didn't say much about the more detailed things.

I didn't expect Bill to do this. It can be seen that he really cared this time.

"Sister Wen, have you seen the poster of the other movie? Originally, I could also act in that movie. This is a movie invested and produced by Bill's company, which is equivalent to his own son."

Lu Fan also spoke in a low voice. Both of them spoke Chinese, and the receptionist next to him couldn't understand, but he didn't show any surprise, and kept smiling all the time. If Lu Fan didn't let him interrupt, he would Will not speak.

His task today is to entertain the distinguished guests well, put their luggage in the hotel, and then take them to the boss's manor.

As for everything else, it has nothing to do with me.

"I see. It seems that the promotion of this movie is stronger than that of "Red Fan District". You said that you would also star in this movie. What's going on? Tell me."

Everyone thinks that Wang Wen doesn't talk much, but in fact it's because you don't know her well. If you and Tianhou are good friends, you will find that she is actually quite funny in private.

Lin Fanghua, who was sitting on the side, didn't speak, and listened silently to the chat between the two bosses. Although she had a lot of questions in her heart, it was obvious that now was not the time for her to ask questions.

Lu Fan smiled and briefly talked about what happened at the Oscars at that time, and then said: "If I had agreed to Bill at the time, I guess there would be no movie "Red Fan District" now."

Lin Fanghua couldn't help admiring: "Brother Lu, you are awesome, you are really my role model, I must learn this spirit in the future, and I will never allow others to insult our country."

Lu Fan smiled and said: "Come on! The entertainment industry is a very complicated place, so I have always warned you to be a good person first, and then think about other things."

"Well, I've always kept Brother Lu's words in mind!" Lin Fanghua nodded seriously.

Wang Wen next to him also smiled and said: "If you had agreed to Bill to act in this movie, then Lu Fan would not be so attractive now."

Lu Fan stared at Wang Wen and joked, "Is Lu Fan attractive now?"

"I don't know about the others, but I still like them better." Wang Wen said lightly.

"I like it too!" Lin Fanghua raised her hand.

All three couldn't help laughing.

Then Lu Fan started chatting with the receptionist, asking about the situation of his movie, while paying attention to the buildings next to him.

The receptionist told Lu Fan that Kaimei Company has almost the same amount of publicity resources for "Iron Fist" and "Red Fan District" this time, so many Chinese people don't know what the movie "Red Fan District" is about.

Later, the reception also said that netizens were discussing "Red Fan District" on the Internet, and it was only then that Lu Fan and others learned that their movie was so popular in the United States.

It seems that in addition to the high quality of the film itself, Bill's publicity also contributed a lot.

During the chat, Lu Fan found that there are many posters related to "Red Fan District" in the buildings on both sides. It seems that the receptionist did not lie to himself. A lot of effort.

Lu Fan said to Wang Wen and Lin Fanghua again in Chinese: "If there are no accidents this time, the few of us will really become famous internationally. It seems that everyone likes "Red Fan District"."

"Oh!"

Wang Wen replied lightly, and then said: "Didn't I already give you the answer at the airport? You asked us what we think of the international achievements of "Red Fan District", and I said it will definitely be popular!"

Lu Fan smiled and said, "Why are you so sure?"

Wang Wen glanced at him and said, "Because you are Lu Fan!"

Lin Fanghua was dumbfounded. Sister Wen's reply was simply too domineering!
