Huayu, my wife, I support myself

"Go to the ugly country to promote it."

Zeng Jia suggested that by the way, show Lu Chen the box office statistics of various countries, among which the box office of Ugly Country reached 54 billion Chinese dollars.

This number has already broken into the top 30 in Ugly Country's film history, and now it has only been released for three weeks. Both Zeng Jia and Wang Xin feel that Ugly Country can squeeze it out a bit.

By the way, you can also squeeze the living space of "Avatar 2".

If Lu Chen goes over here, he will definitely be able to stimulate a wave severely.

To know.

Since his movie hit Hollywood, he hasn't stepped into the Ugly Country to promote it.

"Can……"

Lu Chen thought for a while, this trip is indeed worth the trip, he nodded to let Zeng Jia go, and by the way, let Tang Lei go with him.

"Okay, I will inform Wang Xin to arrange reception."

Zeng Jia automatically ignored Lu Chen's failure to mention Liu Yifei's question.

I went down to make arrangements.

be honest.

Zeng Jia is really looking forward to Lu Chen's trip to Hollywood.

A few years ago, Universal had already invited Lu Chen over there for promotion.

It's just that Lu Chen has a lot of opportunities, and he doesn't even bother to go to the country, so how could he go to other countries to promote it?
Besides, at that time, it was still the same thing whether audiences in these countries recognized him or not.

but.

Don't worry about it now.

At this time, most audiences in these countries knew him,

therefore,

At this time, there is no need to worry about the embarrassment that no one will come to support you.

Fans over there.

If you know that Lu Chen will go there, you might be so happy.

Hollywood used to be the world's number one vote warehouse.

Stimulate a little bit,
Maybe it really didn't explode.

You know, their economy is quite terrifying.

in this aspect,

Not to mention now, even a few years from now, Hua Guo may not dare to say that he can stabilize them.

In terms of film comparisons.

Not to mention.

Before that, Huaguo had always been their target of invasion.Their works often became popular in Huaguo, but Huaguo couldn't even pass the door.

This situation.

It has not been gradually changed until the past few years.

There is no other way, I can only blame Lu Chen for being too strong.

The group of directors he leads are too strong.Just pull out one, the strength is no worse than these big directors in Hollywood.

It can be said.

This is the real golden generation,
It is in stark contrast to Hollywood's lack of success in today's film industry.

This is absolutely true.

Today, Hollywood's big directors have begun to collectively "reminisce" about the past years of film.

If Lu Chen remembers correctly.

it won't be long,
Ina's "The Poet" will appear, the soul travels through consciousness, and a scene on the set is shot with incomparable ingenuity.

There is also Damien's "Babylon", which directly casts its sights on Hollywood in the 20s, and is full of sensual ambitions.

Not to mention, there is Andrew's "Blonde Monroe", and later Sam's "Empire of Light", etc., everything from set nostalgia to private memories.

Besides.

And Spielberg's also began to dream.

I am going to shoot a biopic about myself, telling how I started to make movies in my childhood.

"Dream House".

Lu Chen really watched this movie.

Although the movie has a good reputation on Rotten Tomatoes.

But when it came to Douban, Lu Chen watched it drop from 8.0 to 7.7.

IMDb, only 7.8 points.

Then, "After Ready Player One, does the word 'Spielberg' still ring out?"

Such a topic arises.

The answer given by many people is yes.

hanging.

Like the beginning of the movie "The House of Dreams".

When two trains collided on the screen, little Sammy wished he could be in the movie at this moment.

The movie in the film comes from director DeMille's "King of the Showman", which is also the first movie Spielberg watched when he was a child

But such the most primitive excitement waits for you to recall decades later.

It will inevitably add oil and vinegar, covering it with a beautiful dreamy veil.

So, it will be untrue.

Lost the truth.

Then is he still the big guy in everyone's impression?
The audience's evaluation of him will be lowered.

In this situation.

This has led to more and more audiences in Ugly Country falling in love with Chinese-language movies.

of course.

The favorite of these people, without a doubt, must be Lu Chen.

Except for the director.

And actors.

Today's Hollywood is also suffering from a "star shortage."

There is such a problem on the Internet.

Who are the Hollywood superstars?

How do you answer

Many people's answer is: "Cruz, Hanks, Julia, Ryan, Gibson..."

Are there any younger ones?

"I can't remember at the moment!"

That's what's happening in Hollywood these days.

Tom, who is popular all over the world with his talent and appearance, is about to be over 40 years old; another "Brother Cruise" is also about to be 50 years old.

And almost all the Hollywood superstars we are familiar with are getting old: Meg, Mel, Bruce, Denzel, John, Harrison.Have already started at 45.

Even the "beautiful woman" Julia, who is still praised to this day, is approaching 40.

The aging of celebrities is not a big problem, but the most chilling thing is that people suddenly discovered that this group of people who became popular in the 80s.

20 years later, he is still leading the mighty film army.

The next question is tough: Who will succeed them?
Among the 20-30-year-old stars in Hollywood.

Who can prove that they have enough strength to climb to the peak created by the previous batch of people?
Affleck?Witherspoon?
Or Orlando, Diaz?
The answer is: no.

as shown by data.

Stars who have been box office leaders since 1994, such as Cruise and Hanks, still dominate the box office today.

For nearly a decade, Hollywood has failed to discover exciting up-and-comers.

of course,

This does not include Russell, because he became famous although late.It's almost 40 years old now.

Not including Will, who is also in his 30s.

Although many good actors emerged during this period, they can only be regarded as temporary excellent young actors, but they cannot be called real stars.

They're still far from superstardom, at least by the traditional definition.

No newcomer can create as much buzz as Hanks when he launches a new film;

And there's no newcomer who can play as broadly as Cruise, from drama to action to romance.

Of course, no one can cause a global sensation like Julia, and make people from different cultures and regions fall in love with her.

and so.

Hollywood screenwriters are starting to get anxious, so are directors, and so are studio bosses.

Where's the star?
Where did it all go?

In the great era of the Yangtze River, where the waves behind push the waves ahead, what happened to Hollywood, which once produced a large number of talents?

Without stars, how can this industry that relies on the star-making movement to maintain and make money survive?
On this point, it is somewhat similar to Huaguo.

Why is there such a problem?
Very simple.

A lot of people these days start to be famous before their achievements are recognized.

As an agent said: "We were eager for quick success and quick profits to promote these actors and kept raising their prices, from 500 million to 800 million to 1000 million, but the movie was not successful at all.

Then the production company got angry.

And then these actors have since disappeared.

Apart from this,

Another point.

Mass production of low quality starlets.

This is not only in the ugly country, but also in the country.

Some people say that superstars like Cruise and Roberts only appear once every 20 years.

But today's situation is that the era of superstars who can really stand the test is coming to an end, and batches of small stars have been mass-produced to flood the market.They are gone, and there will be more starlets to take their place.

Today, when people come and go in a hurry, the system in which a few people dominate an era has been eliminated.

So the meaning of the word "movie star" has been changed, and almost anyone who has been in a movie can be called that.

……

Not only these.

Huaguo is saying that action actors are too young to be accepted.Tough guys in Hollywood face the same problem.

Speaking of tough guys in Hollywood.

I believe everyone is most impressed by the movie "The Expendables" released in 2010.

Directed and starring Stallone.

Directly assembled a group of veteran tough guys in Hollywood at that time, the "Nine Pure Men" gathered on the big screen for the first time, which can be said to have earned enough attention at the time, and the movie also achieved a good box office after its release.

After that, the sequels of "The Expendables" were launched one after another, and many tough guys such as Schwarzenegger and Statham joined in one after another. The collection of many tough guys is indeed enough for fans.

But the controversy over "The Expendables" has never stopped. Some people say that it is a money-making work by Stallone and has no artistic value, but it cannot be denied that the "Expendables" series meets all the audience's requirements for tough guy movies.

In fact, whether it is Hollywood or Huaguo movies, the audience seems to have more preference for tough guy movies. As representatives of tough guys in Hollywood movies, Stallone and Schwarzenegger have brought us many excellent works. Afterwards, Statham, Cruise , Bruce also conquered the audience with his strength.

Now to Vin Diesel and Johnson, Hollywood tough guys have never disappointed the audience.

But it is not difficult to find that these tough guys who are familiar to the audience are constantly aging, and even the popular Johnson is about to be 50 years old.

Although Cruise, who is in his 50s, can still fly over the wall in "Mission: Impossible 7".

But as they age, who will succeed them?
For now.

There are very few tough guys in the younger generation.

……

Closer to home.

And this moment.

In Jiaxing Media's branch, Wang Xin was stunned for a moment when he saw the news sent by Zeng Jia, and then his whole face turned red.

Instantly stood up from the chair.

"Director Lu is coming to Ugly Country to promote it."

A few minutes later, the news spread throughout the branch, to the point that the branch's internal chat group exploded.

From Wang Xin to the employees below, they couldn't calm down.

"Oh my God."

"Is it true! Director Lu is really coming."

"Finally going to see my idol."

"As an overseas branch of Jiaxing Media, I have been looking forward to meeting Director Lu in the company."

"A lot of fans here will ask us to invite Director Lu to come over to promote it whenever his work is released. However, Director Lu seems to have no interest in overseas promotion. It is said that he has not been to a single country until now. , I didn’t expect him to come here on his own initiative this time.”

"Has the company announced it?"

"Not yet! I heard that Director Lu was afraid of being blocked at the airport, so he didn't announce it for the time being. You know, since "The Truman Show", Director Lu has become the godfather of the film industry. His arrival will definitely Trendy, so be sure to be cautious,"

……

Most of the company's products are crooked nuts,
Therefore,
They were also quite excited about Lu Chen's arrival.

They all asked their immediate superiors about Lu Chen's itinerary and the exact information about this matter.

"It's true."

They got an accurate answer quickly!

The faces of these employees who heard the accurate news showed unconcealable joy.

Because the leader also said it.

Get them ready to pick you up at the airport together.

What could be more exciting news than this?
ten minutes later.

The branch office also announced to the outside world the news that Lu Chen is coming to Ugly Country.

As expected,
It directly triggered a fanatical atmosphere among movie fans.

"Is the news true?"

"Wow, wow, I'm going to pick up the plane."

"Lu Chen is my favorite director."

"I just finished watching "Jurassic Park 2" today, and it was a bit unsatisfactory. I was just about to go to see imax, and I heard the news. I couldn't hide my excitement."

"I was a little nervous for a moment."

"So, we can meet this legendary director. In addition, there is also the legendary actor Tang Lei. One is my favorite director and the other is my favorite actor."

……

Not just fanaticism,
Many ordinary viewers also participated.

Some government leaders even got involved and contacted Wang Xin, wanting to meet Lu Chen.

But it was rejected by Wang Xin.

Lu Chen came here this time to promote "Jurassic Park 2",

I definitely don't like the official flavor of this ugly country trip.

Ok,
Lu Chen is a simple director.

Lu Chen basically doesn't touch anything beyond the director.

Not to mention meeting people from the government in Ugly Country.

Even at home.

Lu Chen also rarely dealt with government officials.

be honest.

Lu Chen really didn't like dealing with these people.

After all, it is not a circle.

It's hard to get together.

be honest.

Although Lu Chen has never been in Hollywood, his influence is quite terrifying.

There is a saying that is so,

Although my brother is not in the Jianghu, there are legends about my brother in the Jianghu.

Not to mention that Tang Lei came with him this time.

Tang Lei was under Lu Chen's arrangement before.

That's the real mess in Hollywood.

Therefore,
Here, his popularity is not weak.

It can even be said that it is even scarier than Lu Chen's.

So, it's no surprise that audience enthusiasm has exploded in Hollywood.

Don't say it yet.

Lu Chen hasn't set off yet.

Just the news that "Jurassic Park 2" is going to be promoted in Ugly Country, the single-day box office of this movie in Ugly Country suddenly soared.

The single-day box office has exceeded 8000 million U.S. dollars for two consecutive days.

It's kind of scary.
