Chapter 256 I Don't Believe It!go home! (two in one)

Of course they don't believe that Lu Heng has the ability to predict the future, let alone the matter of time travel. In fact, even if it is Lu Heng's previous life, Zhou Jielun, everyone just thinks he looks like a joke, not really think so.

So after Lu Heng said his intuition, both of them were happy, and Han Ping said with a smile:
"Women have a sixth sense, but you would never say that you have a seventh sense, right?"

"It's not impossible." Lu Heng smiled.

After laughing, Jiang Zhiqiang said:
"Now Disney's stall is too big and the funds are tight, and as far as I know, the reason why they set up a movie with this theme is because of "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", in order to follow the trend and seize the market, but the pace If you are in a hurry, it is easy to worry too much.”

This is indeed the case. The second male lead in the Caribbean recruited the popular character of "Lord of the Rings" - Orlando, who played the role of the elf prince, with this in mind.

It can even be said that in the first Caribbean film, Orlando played the second male lead Will, which has a stronger box office appeal than the male lead. After all, he just carried the prestige of "Lord of the Rings" and won a lot of votes around the world. female fan.

Even the men couldn't help admiring how there could be such a beautiful man.

It's just that after arriving in the Caribbean, Orlando became a disgraced little pirate and blacksmith, which made many fans dissatisfied, but even so, he was still handsome and became the face value of the whole movie. A masculinity different from that of an elf prince.

Of course, in fantasy adventure movies like "Pirates of the Caribbean", his handsomeness and Elizabeth's beauty can only be regarded as embellishments. What attracts the audience even more is the wisdom and experience of Captain Jack, who turns everyone from bad luck to good luck at critical moments. These became his most attractive places.

Han Ping nodded, then thought about it:
"If that's the case, the first film was successful and brought great fame. Doesn't it mean that as long as the second film's standard is not lower than the first film's, there shouldn't be a big problem in surpassing the first film's box office?"

Lu Heng patted him on the shoulder: "Third Uncle finally understands my intentions, yes, because of this, I want the follow-up priority, otherwise the first one will make them money, and the flow of funds will open. The second part doesn’t need other people’s investment.”

Not only Han Ping, but also Jiang Zhiqiang recalled it at this time, sighed, and then said a little funny:
"It seems that we are really old, haha, but I am lucky to know you."

"Xiao Heng is very powerful. I discovered it a few years ago." Han Ping put his arm on Lu Heng's shoulder, with a gratified look in his eyes to see the success of the younger generation.

But Jiang Zhiqiang immediately exposed it: "Then you still questioned it just now?"

Han Ping choked, and then said in a bad mood, "It sounds like you're at ease."

Jiang Zhiqiang couldn't help laughing, Han Ping also found it funny, and then both of them burst out laughing, and Lu Heng joined in immediately.

Not one day later, Michael called and said that the company agreed to this method, waived the copyright, and replaced it with the follow-up priority, which was not lower than this investment. Outside casting.

Then, there will be a new round of detailed negotiations, drafting of contracts, and mutual audits.

It was handed over by Han Ping himself, and the efficiency was very fast. On the last day of August, at the Disney headquarters.

"Happy cooperation!"

The signature takes effect, and the two parties... should have reached an agreement with multiple parties, shaking hands and congratulating each other.

"boom!"

Champagne is opened to celebrate the occasion.

The three of Lu Heng and the others looked at each other, all very excited, while Roy and the others also smiled, as if they also felt that this cooperation was a good deal.

After the dinner party, the three of Lu Heng and the others strolled casually in the street.

Han Ping and Jiang Zhiqiang are fine. Lu Heng has already put on his hat and lowered the brim of his hat. Although many Europeans and Americans are blind when they see Chinese people, after the baptism of "Red Cliff" and Lu Heng participated in some film promotions, this In the past two days, there have been many reports about Lu Heng's cooperation with Disney. Some people can already recognize Lu Heng.

Just now, Lu Heng was recognized by people. Although it was only a small number, when they gathered around, and later people heard that this was the protagonist of "Red Cliff" that was being screened, they all came to him.

It took a while for Lu Heng to get away, and then the brim of his hat was lowered even lower.

If it weren't for the summer, Lu Heng would definitely have to wear a mask, and it's night, wearing sunglasses is a bit temperamental, so Lu Heng also gave up.

After wandering around the street for a while, they found a bar, and there were quite a lot of people there. Both Jiang Zhiqiang and Han Ping didn't like noise very much, and wanted to find a corner, but they thought that this young man like Lu Heng would like to be more lively, and asked When he heard Lu Heng's opinion, he smiled and said:
"I also like the corner. It's not so noisy. Fortunately, it's a clear place. It just sings quietly, which is very good."

The two thought that Lu Heng was taking care of them, but they didn't know that Lu Heng's mental age was about the same as them. Occasional indulgence didn't mean they always liked it. Most of the time, they still liked to be alone in a quiet corner.

But they didn't say anything, they just drank for a while anyway.

"Now the contract is finalized, and Lu Heng's starring role has also been confirmed, congratulations!" Jiang Zhiqiang raised his glass to Lu Heng.

"It's not just me, it should be us." Lu Heng smiled and raised his glass to them.

After laughing, drink it all.

"If it's as you predicted, once this movie sells well, and with the popularity of "Red Cliff", you will really be an international superstar." Jiang Zhiqiang smacked his mouth, looking quite expectant.

But Han Ping shook his head: "International superstars are not enough, no matter how big a person is, he is still a part-time worker, and he is still the boss. If this movie is successful, he can also gain a foothold in Hollywood. He is definitely the most popular here." Young film studio boss."

"Oh yes." Jiang Zhiqiang slapped his forehead: "I forgot about that."

After finishing speaking, he smiled: "The ones I have contacted before who developed in Hollywood, even Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and even Li An, although they all have their own companies, they can't get in with this level of film investment. It's still your cow."

Lu Heng smiled and said: "I can't do it alone. Isn't this borrowing the wind from the two uncles?"

"Haha!" Jiang Zhiqiang and Han Ping looked at each other and laughed, and they had a higher evaluation of Lu Heng in their hearts.

Although Lu Heng has never failed, but with the mentality of "winning without pride", now is definitely not just the end, but there are still great possibilities in the future.

At this time, Lu Heng watched the feasting lights coming out of the wine glass, slowly turning into a colorful halo, and smiled subconsciously.

international star...

Even Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Zhou Runfa, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi and other domestically recognized international superstars actually have far less influence in the world than those in Hollywood. If there is an exception, I am afraid that there is only one Li Xiaolong.

This is not only due to the influence of the economy of the country of Magnesia, but also the extremely developed film and television industrialization-there are many well-known Hollywood blockbusters, but in fact, there are more films that cannot be seen and that lose the bottom line.

The accumulation of quantity creates the best among the best, the long-term development makes each link mature, and the well-run reputation attracts talents from all over the world. It is for these reasons that there are a steady stream of world-class works coming out.

China's past movies can only reach the level of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" at the highest level, followed by "Heroes", which are all ancient Chinese and starring Chinese.

Although the core of the two movies is to talk about the common feelings of people, after all, they are dressed in the cloak of China. Many gringos are sentenced to death after seeing only one name and poster.

As for "Farewell My Concubine", its fame is more due to the awards, and even if there are awards, this type of movie is not enough to attract too many people to spend money into the theater, just like its North American box office is only more than 500. Of course, this box office is not low among Chinese-language films, and it has exceeded 3000 million US dollars worldwide.

On the contrary, Hollywood blockbusters, even if some of them are just stories about living in a corner, or small stories of a certain period of time, can still make people talk about it. on the first name.

As for filming in the US, they have been discriminated against since the time of Anna May Wong, and only the time of Li Xiaolong made a big impact—but the influence was not particularly high at that time, and it continued to expand after his death.

Coupled with the pioneering efforts of Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, Huaxia gained a foothold in Hollywood through kung fu, but still held many prejudices.Their highest box office is only Cheng Long's "Red Fan District" in 95, which was more than 500 million US dollars.

Of course, if it weren't for the depreciation of the currency, Li Xiaolong's North American box office would definitely be higher than that of Hongfan District.

In fact, "Enter the Dragon" and "The Way of the Dragon" are only inferior to "Red Zone" in North American box office, but they still have more than 2000 million. If you count the global box office, both of them are more than 9000 million. The global high of more than 8000 million US dollars.

Therefore, it is epoch-making for Lu Hengneng to invest in Disney's A-class production of movies and play the lead actor.

It suddenly occurred to Lu Heng that in his previous life, the Caribbean was able to invite Chow Yun-fat to play the third part, which may also be the reason for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

"Originally, I thought that after this negotiation, I could shoot the movie directly, but I didn't know that it would take two months... In this way, I guess I won't be able to go back even for the New Year."

Facing Lu Heng's helpless tone, Han Ping couldn't laugh or cry:

"Don't be cheap and act good. How many Chinese people want to go to Hollywood just for a small role. Now you are the number one male, which is enough for them to look up to."

Jiang Zhiqiang also said: "Don't talk about the mainland, even if it's Xiangjiang Treasure Island, the heavenly kings don't have this chance, and there are only a few people like Cheng Long. Take good care of it and strive to create another Li Xiaolong."

"When will foreign actors be proud to be filming in China?" Holding a wine glass, Lu Heng suddenly said this.

Jiang Zhiqiang stared blankly at Lu Heng, then at Han Ping, the two looked at each other, and then Jiang Zhiqiang said quietly:
"That goes a long way."

Han Ping's face became a little more serious, and he said after a while: "It is estimated that Huaxia's economic strength surpasses them."

Jiang Zhiqiang thought for a while: "Probably so."

Lu Heng laughed dumbfounded, waved his hands and said, "Yes, it's still too far away to think about it now. Drink and drink."

The three of them clinked glasses again and drank it all in one gulp.

……

At this time, in China, "Red Cliff" has almost come to an end after extended screenings, and only a few theaters in certain cities can still see it, but the audience is also very small.

The box office was finally fixed at just over 5 million yuan, but this is four times higher than the 1.2 million yuan of the past domestic film box office champion "Life and Death Choice", and it has only been two years.

Even including imported films, the 3.6 ​​million "Titanic" and "Red Cliff" are much more than that!

Becoming the well-deserved box office champion in the mainland has not only become a phenomenon-level topic, but also excited the people of the country. After all, domestic films have killed imported films, which is a matter of pride in itself, especially in this era!

If you include Baodao Xiangjiang, the total domestic box office will exceed 7 million, which is equivalent to more than 8000 million US dollars.

Of course, what makes Chinese people even more proud of "Red Cliff" is that it is also popular abroad. After Neon's 1 million US dollars, Korea's 3000 million US dollars, and Southeast Asia's several million US dollars, its release in Magnesia has also been rising all the way. After breaking the record of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he constantly surpassed himself, and now it has risen to 1.8 million yuan!

In Europe, "Red Cliff" was officially released in Yingguo a few days ago, and the box office reached more than 5 pounds. You must know that their ticket price is only about three pounds. Even if you add a little service fee, it will not exceed four pounds. pound.

In other words, the number of viewers on the first day of release exceeded 6000, while the total population of Ying Country is only [-] million.

The beginning of this is also due to the popularity of the show in Magnesia, after all, the two families are connected to each other.

Next, France, Germany, Italy and other countries will also release films one after another, and the popularity of Yingguo will also drive their releases.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that the east wind of "Red Cliff" will blow up internationally, and the east wind will be borrowed in the movie, just as China has always been called the East. This kind of coincidence has also made domestic audiences talk about it.Just in time to join the WTO, the self-confidence and self-improvement spirit of the Chinese people has also been boosted, and even the self-confidence of many foreign traders has been boosted. These are subtle changes.

Naturally, in the hearts of the Chinese people, Lu Heng's status has already surpassed that of Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige. He only needs one more movie to stabilize, and Lu Heng will be firmly established.

Of course, what Lu Heng wants is to make money, he doesn't care about it, and he doesn't even want the title, but the two are related, and he can't help it.

At this time, the news about Lu Heng's investment and participation in Disney's blockbuster also spread from Magnesia back to China, causing a shock again!
One is the surprise of being tall, and the other is doubting with previous concepts and experiences.

It's not surprising to participate in the role, after all, "Red Cliff" is so hot, but the investment...is still investing in Disney's blockbuster, which inevitably makes some fans suspicious.

"I do not believe!"

"How many years has Disney been? He is a Hollywood giant. Although Lu Heng has made some achievements now, but with a box office of hundreds of millions of dollars, how many Disney movies does he have?"

Fortunately, there is no self-media at this time, otherwise there will be a flood of news that "a picture is issued, and the content is all edited".Even so, word of mouth spread at a rapid speed.

At the same time, Lu Heng also returned to Huaxia with Han Ping and the others.

　thanks for your support.
