Chapter 668 The Globally Sensational Game

A magnificent banquet hall.

The expressions on everyone's faces are wonderful.

Anthony said blankly: "Is Lin Xuan really here?"

Cyril was at a loss: "It seems to be true."

Adonis nodded blankly: "Really."

Barron swallowed, his voice changed a bit: "But... how does this compare?"

Even Guan Yuman, who was filled with righteous indignation just now, was dumbfounded at this moment. She had seen Lin Xuan's madness too many times, and knew Lin Xuan's character and temper.So even if Lin Xuan decided to fight so many directors in Hollywood just now, she didn't find it strange.

But this time, she was really shocked.

box office.

word of mouth.

Oscar.

Anyone who knows a little about movies knows that these three items cannot coexist.Just like Huaxia's saying is true: You can't have both the fish and the bear's paw.

You want all three?

Just kidding!

But now, Lin Xuan has made such an absurd decision in the face of a bet that may determine the future international fate of Second World Film Company and even Second World.

The banquet is still going on.

However, many people began to leave in a hurry.

There are directors.

There are producers.

There are actors.

Because this matter is too big, everyone wants to tell the company or capital forces behind them the news as soon as possible.

Especially the few media reporters who lurked in, their faces showed fanaticism.

But they never dreamed that they would encounter such a big news that could shake the whole world.

"So many tops."

"Wow, all the top names in Hollywood are here."

"Is Lin Xuan too embarrassing?"

"This scene is too spectacular."

"How did Lin Xuan manage to get so many top talents to attend the banquet?"

"Maybe it's the banknote ability again."

But at this time.

The eye-popping news headline stunned the netizens who were still shocked by the luxury of Lin Xuan's banquet just now.

what's the situation?
Isn't Lin Xuan having a celebration banquet?

Why did Lin Xuan suddenly become alone in PKing the whole of Hollywood?

Everyone stared blankly at the news, and even looked a little dazed for a while, not knowing whether the news was true or not.Then, after a while, many people recovered from the shock and clicked into the news.

but.

Soon, everyone's face showed a stronger shock than before.

When they read the content of the news, many people screamed.

Whole network.

After half an hour, the news radiated out.

All major social platforms in Europe and America were overwhelmed by comments from netizens.

"God! Please tell me it's not true!"

"Lin Xuan is fighting with the whole of Hollywood?"

"The two sides come up with a movie duel, and if Lin Xuan loses, will he quit Hollywood forever?"

"Where did Lin Xuan get his courage?"

"My God! Thirty-three top directors!"

"How dare Lin Xuan agree to such a bet? How dare he boast?"

"The most incredible thing is that Lin Xuan actually said that only one movie will determine the winner."

"Lin Xuan is miserable. How happy he was when he agreed, how miserable he will die in the end."

"..."

A movie fan was shocked: "Lin Xuan, he wants to fight against the whole of Hollywood alone? Hahaha, it's not that I look down on him, I even admire him for being able to shoot such a groundbreaking mech science fiction movie as "Transformers", but this time Is he too confident? The whole of Hollywood! Including Ferdinand, Gustav, Gerald, Jais...and almost all legendary directors!"

Another exclaimed: "Crazy, it's crazy. This is the biggest and craziest bet in the film industry and even the world's entertainment industry, right? Lin Xuan, how dare he do that? I admit that Lin Xuan is really good, whether it's the piano He has extraordinary attainments in music, singing, and even literature, but he can’t crush his peers in any aspect, right? For example, in the piano field, he is on an equal footing with Reps, and in the music field, he has not even become a king. How dare he start a war with the whole of Hollywood after making a movie? It’s okay to start a war, after all, many talents are young and energetic. But he dared to say that he only uses one movie to compete with everyone, and it’s not just about the box office. , including word of mouth, honor, influence... My god, I can't think of such a movie even in my dreams."

floated away.

In the eyes of many people, Lin Xuan drifted away after filming "Transformers".

After all, for a young man in his twenties, his first Hollywood movie made $12.5 billion, and even the great Hollywood director Longman was rubbed against the ground, and anyone would float away.

Only this reason can explain the reason why Tong Linxuan did so.

soon.

The news was sent back home.

Huaxia netizens did not gloat, because many media reported the real reason why Lin Xuan made the bet.

A lot of people were so popular that they screamed.

"Bully people!"

"Made, those guys in Hollywood are going too far."

"Don't let Brother Xuan go to Hollywood. You refused Brother Xuan's acquisition request openly at the beginning. Now that the money has been collected and the benefits have been obtained, it turned out to be the opposite?"

"Shameless You!"

Especially according to media reports, more than [-] people are planning to fight against Lin Xuan this time, and Gustav even said that China's box office cannot be included in the box office duel, and everyone is filled with righteous indignation.

"Ahhh! It exploded!"

"The whole Hollywood is bullying Brother Xuan, from now on we will completely boycott Hollywood movies!"

"Block, Hollywood must be banned!"

"I really laughed out loud. You competed with Lin Xuan at the box office, he competed with Lin Xuan for word of mouth, and she competed with Lin Xuan for Oscar. How despicable is it to say such a thing?"

"Hahaha, the key is that they are all like this, and Gustav even said that the box office cannot include China's box office... Tsk tsk tsk."

"If you want Brother Xuan to leave Hollywood, just say so, why do you do that?"

Weibo.

WeChat.

big cat.

Headlines.

On China's major online platforms, netizens have repeatedly scolded the eighteen generations of European and American ancestors countless times.Especially Gustav's conditions, so that even if they want to help Lin Xuan win the box office, they will be unable to do so, and they can only watch this unequal decisive battle going on abroad.

Even the netizens are so excited, the Huaxia film and television circle is even more uneasy.

Many directors met one after another with complicated expressions.

Liu Ji frowned: "Obviously Hollywood doesn't want Huaxia Company to enter, so they randomly found an impossible matchup to drive Lin Xuan away. Even if Lin Xuan didn't agree to their condition, they would find other reasons Attack Second World Films."

Qin Wen snorted coldly: "I knew Hollywood would not be so kind to let the Second World enter. At that time, they only let Lin Xuan in because they thought that Lin Xuan's acquisition of a bankrupt company would not have much impact on them. But they didn't expect that Lin Xuan would Xuan actually made a name for himself in Hollywood with just one movie, so they panicked."

Zhang Xukun sighed: "I originally thought that after Lin Xuan established a solid foundation in Hollywood, with his strength, our Chinese artists would have a channel to develop in Hollywood, thus promoting the rapid development of the domestic film industry. Unexpectedly Hollywood just doesn't give us a chance."

Liu Ji shook his head: "This time, Lin Xuan may have no choice."

Qin Wen: "Can you put it to death and survive? That kid Lin Xuan has created countless miracles."

Zhang Xukun smiled wryly: "It's different this time. The craziest time before Lin Xuan was when he fought against several international piano masters alone, but that time he played all his cards and tied with Reps. But this time, he What you are facing is the whole of Hollywood! What you are facing is the most outstanding directors in the world today, and behind these directors are dozens of top Hollywood film companies. Their combined power is enough to sweep everything. And you didn’t realize Does Lin Xuan also have the intention of smashing the jar? Otherwise, he wouldn't say that he would challenge everyone with a movie."

"Ugh."

"Too."

Everyone sighed secretly.

……

……

outside world.

major media.

Social platforms.

Entertainment.

the Internet.

Everyone was shocked by this news.

The banquet at the scene also ended in a hurry because of this incident.

After the last guest left, Ye Tingyu looked at Lin Xuan with a worried expression on his face: "Senior, Hollywood has made it clear that it doesn't want you to gain a foothold here."

Lin Xuan casually picked up a banana and stuffed it into his mouth. He was too busy just now, having to socialize with so many people, so he didn't have time to eat anything. He just poured a lot of wine into his stomach, and now he was already panicking with hunger.

While eating bananas, he said inarticulately: "Normally, I guessed this day before I entered Hollywood. I thought that I would pay hundreds of millions of dollars to make them restrain themselves, and then I slowly figured out a way to solve it." This matter. I didn't expect the directors' union to be so anxious. But it's good, let's take this opportunity to completely resolve the conflict."

Seeing Lin Xuan's expression, Ye Tingyu felt confident.

No one knows Lin Xuan better than her.

She felt relieved, picked some desserts from the table and served them to Lin Xuan.

Ye Youlei snorted and said, "You shouldn't have held a banquet and fed a bunch of white-eyed wolves."

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "The banquet will not be held in vain. For example, today I met almost all the top actors in Hollywood. This alone is enough to gain. And don't look at so many directors who are against me. In fact, they are all Because of the position of the company behind them, many people did not mean to target me. So as long as I can win the final victory this time, then these directors will definitely look at me and the second world differently, laying a good foundation for future cooperation Base."

Ye Youlei glared: "Brother-in-law, they have dealt with you like this, do you still want to cooperate with them?"

Lin Xuandao: "There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests."

He believes that after this incident.

The future Second World Film Company will truly open up a road to the sky.

……

……

Three in the afternoon.

As soon as I returned to the company, many people hurried over, all with anxious expressions on their faces.In particular, many old employees of Tai Lun Company were so anxious that they were about to cry.

"Oh, I said Mr. Lin, you shouldn't agree to them."

"Those directors are obviously aggressive. How did you fall for it?"

"How to do how to do?"

"It's definitely going to fail this time, and we're going to go bankrupt again?"

"I don't want to go bankrupt, I don't want to get a job."

"Hey, those people are too much. Is it easy for us to work?"

"I haven't received the bonus from the "Transformers" project team yet."

There was a lot of discussion.

Everyone panicked.

There is no way, Lin Xuan chose too much this time.

That's one of the top directors in Hollywood.

Seeing everyone's bewildered expressions, Lin Xuan laughed and said, "Why are you panicking? What is there to panic about?"

Still not panic?
When is it too late to panic?
How calm are you? !

People vomited blood.

It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry... Ah bah, they are not eunuchs.

Huang Ming collected himself before he said, "Mr. Lin, do we really want to start a war with so many Hollywood directors?"

Lin Xuan smiled: "That's right."

Huang Ming asked anxiously, "Why did you agree?"

Lin Xuan spread his hands: "There's no way, if I don't agree, then I'll be caught. I'm afraid the Hollywood directors union will come and drive us away tomorrow."

Huang Ming: "But, how does this compare?"

Lin Xuan: "There is always a way."

Huang Ming and the rest of the staff's expressions changed, and they could only sigh helplessly in the end.

What can be done?
Absolutely not!

But now that Mr. Lin has agreed, everyone can only accept their fate.

The key point is that even if you agree, you should only agree to compare box office or word of mouth, but you actually compare them all.

Paused.

Huang Mingcai hesitated and said, "Boss Lin, are you planning to shoot "Transformers 2"?"

In his opinion, it is too difficult for Lin Xuan to create another movie that is better than "Transformers".Many directors never manage to direct a billion-dollar movie in their lifetime.However, the box office of "Transformers" is as high as 12.5 billion. Coupled with its innovation, it can be regarded as a milestone film in mech science fiction. It is almost impossible for Lin Xuan to come up with a film of other genres to surpass it.And if you shoot "Transformers 2", on the basis of fans and word of mouth, there is a high probability that the box office will reach a new high.

Of course, if the box office in China is not included, the global box office of "Transformers 2" is estimated to reach the peak of one billion US dollars. It is almost impossible for this box office to surpass the films of legendary directors such as Ferdinand, Gustav... and so on.

As for word of mouth and Oscars?Even more hopeless.

But at present, "Transformers 2" is the only movie that can be produced.

Even if you can't win.

But it's the only option.

However, in the next second, Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Who said I want to shoot "Transformers 2"?"

"Huh? No?"

"Not shooting 2?"

"Then what are you going to shoot?"

"Do you want to change to another type?"

"Isn't this even more unreliable?"

Everyone's eyes were bulging, and their faces were full of shock.

If Lin Xuan doesn't make "Transformers 2", what other types of movies can achieve high box office?
magic?

action?

war?

Other sci-fi?

Basically every genre has been shot bad by Hollywood.

Lin Xuan's "Transformers" achieved good results because he set a precedent and found a new path for mech science fiction.If Lin Xuan were to make other types of movies, it would definitely be more difficult to surpass the classics made by other Hollywood directors.

In fact, if you look at the top [-] movies at the global box office, you will know that these top-grossing works are basically occupied by various series of movies.It is rare for a single film to break into the top [-] charts.Because after years of precipitation, the series of movies have accumulated a huge fan base and generated a huge fan effect, so they can get high box office.

Other movies want to become famous in one fell swoop, the probability is very small.

for example:

Almost all of Lin Xuan's global box office lists in his previous life were series movies.

The Star Wars series.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" series.

"Harry Potter" series.

"Fast and Furious" series.

The Avengers series.

The Lord of the Rings series.

blah blah blah... there aren't a couple of other stand-alone films out there.

Because of this, everyone was so shocked to hear that Lin Xuan gave up "Transformers 2".

Especially Huang Ming's heart skipped a beat.

How to win?

He almost despaired.

……

……

internationally.

Whether it is netizens or some professionals in the film industry, everyone also thinks that Lin Xuan will shoot "Transformers 2" this time. After all, the box office and word-of-mouth of the first film are high enough. Although the Oscars are out of the picture, it is already the film with the highest chance of winning. up.

"Lin Xuan will definitely make "Transformers 2"."

"That's right, it's his only option."

"But even if "Transformers 2" explodes at the box office, it will be difficult to get more than 10 billion box office, right? After all, China's box office is not included this time."

"Not only the box office has no chance of winning, but word of mouth and honor have no chance of winning."

Yes.

No matter how powerful "Transformers" is, this movie is not particularly outstanding in front of the world's top Hollywood directors, so Lin Xuan has no chance of winning.

Someone said: "Maybe Lin Xuan's confrontation with Hollywood this time is not to win, but to be famous. Because Lin Xuan can play against so many big directors, he has become a legend. Winning or losing is not important anymore. The second world It doesn't matter whether the film company can stay in Hollywood or not. As long as he can beat seven or eight big Hollywood directors in this duel, it will be enough to send him to the altar of the international film circle."

Many people came to a realization.

It seems that this is Lin Xuan's real purpose.

After all, everyone knows that Lin Xuan is doomed to fail. If so, it is better to seek the best interests for himself in the failure.

Thinking of this, everyone felt relieved.

……

……

Second World Films.

Lin Xuan finally calmed down the anxious hearts of the employees, and then returned to his office.

As for Ye Tingyu, he was temporarily taken by Ye Youlei to Hollywood.Regardless of Hollywood's attitude towards Lin Xuan, this place is indeed a good tourist attraction.

"Mr. Huang."

In the office, Lin Xuan saw Huang Ming find him again.

Huang Ming hesitated for a moment, before asking, "Boss Lin, when are you going to start planning the new movie?"

"Ah."

Lin Xuan immediately said: "I just happened to be looking for you. This matter must not be sloppy, except for the major IP issue of "Transformers", your next focus may be on this matter."

Huang Ming nodded, he knew the importance of this matter.Because the future of Second World Film Company is all on the top, as long as Lin Xuan loses, the company will have to leave.The hundreds of millions of dollars they invested up front will be in vain.Even if the second world is rich and powerful, it can't afford such a toss.

He asked, "Boss Lin, have you planned any movie yet?"

Lin Xuan said: "I almost have an idea."

Huang Ming's heart beat faster: "Or science fiction?"

Lin Xuan shook his head: "No."

Huang Ming: "Magic?"

Lin Xuan: "No."

Huang Ming: "Action?"

Lin Xuan: "Still not."

Huang Ming asked almost all the popular types, but Lin Xuan shook his head.

In the end, Huang Ming was confused, Mr. Lin was just teasing him, right?

This is not it?

That's not it either?

what is that?
Lin Xuan smiled slightly: "What do you think of romance movies?"

"puff!"

Huang Ming, who was in a daze, spat out a mouthful of water. He hurriedly took a paper towel from the table and wiped the saliva-smeared tabletop. After a while, he stammered, "You...what did you say?"

Lin Xuan repeated: "I'm going to make a romance movie."

"..."

Huang Ming pinched his thigh hard, and after confirming that it wasn't a dream, he said in a daze, "Boss Lin, this...can't be a joke."

Oh my God!
Romance?
Huang Ming felt that Lin Xuan's words were even more absurd than his PK against more than [-] top Hollywood directors.Although he knew that Lin Xuan would always find a different way to shoot movies, from Huaxia's "The God of Medicine" and "Changjin Lake" to the current "Transformers", the subject matter of each film is unexpected.But in fact, every movie has a deep-seated reason for the box office explosion. The national attention of "The God of Medicine", the official support and patriotic blood of "Changjin Lake", and the groundbreaking of "Transformers".

But is the romance too outrageous?

Of course, he didn't mean to look down on romance films, maybe romance films can have a good box office and reputation after being filmed.But looking at the top [-] of the global box office list, there is not a single romance film, not even the top [-]!

I was stunned for a while.

Huang Ming said in a shy voice: "Boss Lin, why don't we still shoot "Transformers 2"?"

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "What? Do you look down on romance movies?"

Huang Ming said: "But..."

Lin Xuan said: "Don't worry, this romance movie is different."

Huang Ming still didn't understand.

How can romance be any different?
Isn't it love, love, kiss me, life and death?
Is it possible to photograph a flower?
Want depth, no!

Be hot-blooded, no!
To explode, no!

Apart from the fact that the actors could be more handsome and the plot could crush the tear ducts of little girls, he couldn't think of how good a romance film could be.

Only Lin Xuan knew that the romance movie he was talking about was really different from ordinary romance movies.Of course, it is estimated that his explanation cannot be explained clearly.

Lin Xuan could only smile and said: "You will know when the filming comes out, now you go to prepare funds."

Huang Ming suppressed the shock in his heart, knowing that it was useless to entangle himself in this matter, and he had to listen to Lin Xuan.He asked: "Boss Lin, how much money do you need? Is [-] million Chinese coins enough?"

Generally speaking, the investment in romance films is not very high. Unlike various Hollywood blockbusters with big scenes and big productions, the investment is basically on the actors' remuneration.A romance film with an investment of more than [-] million yuan is considered a super-large production.Huang Ming was able to say [-] million Chinese coins because he knew that Lin Xuan never played cards according to the routine, so he said a number that had been multiplied several times.

Lin Xuan blinked: "It's definitely not enough. You asked the company to prepare about 2-3 million yuan of funds... Cough cough, the 2-3 million yuan I said is not Chinese currency, but US dollars."

"..."

Huang Ming felt his consciousness freeze for a moment, and after a long time, two words came out of his throat: "Okay..."

Two or three billion dollars.

Romance.

He felt like his whole world was about to be turned upside down.

……

Soon, Huang Ming left in a hurry.

It's just that when the other party was going out, his footsteps seemed to be disobedient, and the usually mature and steady person bumped into the door frame, but Huang Ming didn't seem to feel the pain, but he gathered his mind before leaving again.

Seeing Huang Ming's out-of-control look, Lin Xuan blinked his eyes, and smiled before looking away.In fact, if you haven't seen that movie, no one would believe that the investment in a romance movie can be as high as two to three billion U.S. dollars.But as long as you have seen this movie, everyone knows: it needs this investment!It's worth the investment!
Sitting in the office.

Lin Xuan clasped the back of his head with his hands, closed his eyes and lay on his back on the chair.The memory engraving function was activated, and a picture of a movie appeared in my mind.Concentration appeared on his face, and he seemed to be completely immersed in memory.

After more than three hours.

Lin Xuan finally opened his eyes, with strong emotions in them.

After a while, he let out a few breaths, then opened the laptop in front of him, and typed a few words on a blank document: "Titanic."

The romance movie Lin Xuan was talking about was "Titanic".

If there is a perfect movie in the world, then it must belong to "Titanic", and there is no other movie that can compare with it.

box office?

Word of mouth?

honor?

Since its release, for more than ten years, any movie has been eclipsed in front of it.It wasn't even until Cameron filmed "Avatar" that he only beat himself at the box office.However, the super high reputation and honor that "Titanic" has won, even after decades, is still an insurmountable mountain for other movies.

Now that this time, those Hollywood directors wanted to fight him and not give him a way out.Then he can only make big moves.

Is it better than the box office?

Is it better than word of mouth?

Better than the Oscars, right?
special.

Don't blame me for bullying, you guys forced me!
