China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 212 First place and defeat

Boss Lu’s first stop on his European trip was to take an eagle with him. However, after the filming team arrived in London, they immediately chose to change planes.

They had to go to France to shoot the scene first.

The director responsible for shooting the MV this time is Yang Qing.

The filming of the movie "Nightclub" has been completed. Although the post-production work has not yet been completed, Yang Qing will certainly not refuse the boss' offer.

What's more, directing his boss's MV is also a very challenging thing for him.

Yang Qing is not a professional director, and his techniques for scheduling some big scenes are still a bit immature.

Letting him shoot the MV is both a way to accumulate experience and a mock exam.

The final presentation will determine the start-up funds for his next film.

As soon as the camera crew left, only Xiao Mao and Mina were left with Lu Yuan. Their next trip would be handled by the team from Universal.

Seeing that the boss kept Mina, Xiao Mao still didn't understand the reason.

However, she was very discerning and became deaf and blind.

She turned a blind eye to some slightly intimate movements.

In the next few days, Lu Yuan was tired and in pain.

Every day during the day, he went to make announcements, and at night, he secretly visited the house like a thief.

Then, you have to stick to the bottom line.

Mina was happy, but Boss Lu was feeling very depressed.

Can't make mistakes.

……

1 month 23 number.

Fans in Europe waited nine months for the album to finally be released.

Although Lu Yuan has not traveled much in Europe, fans who like music and know the music scene are no stranger to him.

In this year's international music scene, the most dazzling new star is none other than the King of China.

This album has swept across North America, South America, Asia, and Oceania, and has won the top spot on music charts in many countries.

Ranked first in sales in 2008!

Four American Music Awards and seven Grammy nominations.

There is no doubt that this is a 'magic album'.

Therefore, as soon as the album was released, it flourished both online and offline.

1 month 25 day.

Lunar New Year's eve.

The new UK list has been announced.

Lu Yuan's first album "Lucas LU" beat White Lies, Kings of Leon, Manuscript (original singer of Hall of Fame), and Lady Gaga to top the UK album chart.

At the same time, "Hall of Fame" also surpassed Lady Gaga's single "Just Dance" and topped the UK singles chart.

Several other songs on the album also perform very well.

"Counting Stars" - third

"stronger"——fifth

"the nights"——eighth

Apart from these songs, only two songs, "this is it" and "new divide", did not make the list, while the other songs entered the singles list.

The ranking is roughly between ten and ninety.

Landing first on both charts, Lu Yuan set another record.

The first foreign singer to debut at the top of both charts with his debut album.

That's right.

This record has three qualifiers: "Newcomer", "Foreign", and "No. [-] on both charts at the same time". However, even so, it is still an amazing achievement.

Different from the Billboard chart, the calculation method of the UK chart is very simple and crude.

No reference to radio station indicators.

Just look at sales.

Whether it is physical sales or digital singles/albums through legal channels, as long as they are serious sales, they will be included in the list.

Therefore, the difficulty of being parachuted to the top of the UK chart is slightly lower than that of being parachuted to the top of the Billboard.

At the same time, suppression becomes more difficult.

After all, there is more than one organization that compiles sales data: the UK Chart. Even if you want to suppress foreign singers, it will be difficult to achieve.After the list was announced, domestic media across the ocean were shocked every day.

Even on New Year's Eve, the editors of major portal websites were working overtime to compile the announcement and then published the good news on the front page.

The first place on the double list is rare for Dai Ying, but it can happen a few times every year. The record set by Boss Lu was not discussed very much by Dai Ying media.

However, in China, everything changed. Every record Lu Yuan set on the UK singles chart and album chart was a zero breakthrough.

Boss Lu's cell phone turned into a vibrator again.

It kept buzzing.

However, Boss Lu has no time to pay attention to those congratulatory messages for the time being. He is making a video call with his girlfriend in the room.

PC version of QQ.

If it were before, Boss Lu would definitely miss video calls on his mobile phone, but now, video calls on the computer are better.

If a mobile phone can video, it can video all the time.

But computer videos are different. There are always times when the computer is not around. This also provides an 'excuse' for Boss Lu to commit crimes.

At the other end of the video, Zeng Li is obviously in his old house in his hometown in the background.

"Xiaoyuan, how are you going to spend New Year's Eve today?"

"Yang Qing and the others have arrived. I found a Chinese restaurant so we can celebrate the New Year together."

In the next room, Mina was also making a video call with her family.

"Hey, Dad, Mom, this isn't my job, there's nothing I can do about it."

After hearing her parents complaining about the company being too impersonal in the video, Mina immediately defended the company's image.

At this time, she didn't feel at all sad about not being able to go back on New Year's Eve.

These days, she is very happy.

The boss was so busy, and she finally had time to be alone. She wished she could get tired of being in his arms every day.

The time she looks forward to most every day now is every night, because she can hug her boss and sleep with her.

Although we can't do some things for the time being, we are very happy just holding each other together.

Meanwhile, the rest of the entourage were in much the same situation, with everyone talking on the phone to their families.

It is indeed not very 'humane' to work in a foreign country on New Year's Eve.

But there were no complaints within the filming team.

For this trip to Europe, active registration was adopted, and all members of the film crew signed up independently.

Except Xiaomao.

He was the one Lu Yuan named to take with him.

The main reason is that Xiao Mao has a tight mouth.

He even suspected that Xiao Mao had seen something.

After calling his girlfriend, Lu Yuan picked up his phone again. When he saw those messages of congratulations and New Year greetings, he began to reply to them one by one.

For ordinary people, just reply to a text message, but for some important people, you need to make a phone call.

Today, there are not many people who can make Lu Yuan take the initiative to call New Year's greetings.

Those who can take the initiative to pay New Year's greetings are either those with special positions like Han Sanping, or those with relatively good relationships like Su Xin and Milk Cha Lun.

After a round of phone calls, Boss Lu received some good news.

The box office of "Cohabitation in Time and Space" continues to be sluggish, especially in the days approaching the Spring Festival, with a single-day box office of only a few hundred thousand.

截至1月24号，累计票房3.35亿，距离3.595亿还有2450万的差距。

Without some technological means, it would be difficult to break the Titanic's record.

Han Sanping didn't say anything, but someone from China Film Group hinted at Liu Yan privately.

Without Mr. Han's permission, would that person dare to hint?
However, Boss Lu himself doesn’t really want to use technology and hard work.

Can't commit.

If it doesn't work once, then twice. "Titanic" was not taken seriously by Mr. Lu at all.

A mere [-] million+.

Must break this year!

When "Avatar" is released in mainland China next year, that will be the real 'big trouble'.

The first mainland movie to hit one billion dollars.

In one fell swoop, it more than tripled the box office record in film history.
