Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 304: 3 Million per Day

The screening of Lucy: Before the Curtain has ended.

However, the audience is still savoring the ending.

"So that's how it is." Vincent, who had guessed many endings but still didn't get it right, said, "It's really unexpected that the function of the curtain is to protect the earth."

“Yeah.” Mirren also said with emotion: “I didn’t expect that either, but it seems that the huge creature should be the ancient god who set up the curtain. I thought he was a villain.”

"Right, so the fourth part is about fighting against those dark ancient gods in the universe."

Several people walked out of the cinema while discussing, and before parting, Mirren made an appointment with Vincent to play games together on the weekend.

They are all World of Warcraft players and are in the Alliance, so they plan to do some dungeon running together on the weekend.

On the night that the movie screening ended, the rating of "Lucy" was updated on the website.

8.9 points is not too high, but not too low either. Many users gave negative reviews for the same reason, that is, there were too many scenes shot and the duration was too long.

But in the eyes of fans and most passers-by, these two points are actually plus points because they are really cool.

They saw the appearance and style of different cities around the world, felt the humanities, and saw the exciting fighting scenes and explosive special effects.

It can be said that the whole movie has no flaws. Even the weakest plot of a superhero movie is far more exciting than the audience expected.

Therefore, the box office of the third part of Lucy skyrocketed in just two days, becoming the first movie to break 200 million US dollars in three days.

"Cheers!" In the office, Tang De and the investors raised their glasses to celebrate the huge sales of the movie.

After drinking the wine, several investors looked at Tang De with admiration: "Tang, you are now the most popular director in Hollywood, no doubt about it!"

"Yes, you are simply a movie angel sent by God. No one can resist your movies."

"Each sequel is better than the last, Tang. You have broken the iron rule that IP sequels get worse and worse."

Listening to these people's flattery, Tang De smiled and said, "This is all thanks to everyone's trust in me."

"Haha, you're so polite, Tang."

A few people chatted and laughed for a while, then Tang De picked up the wine glass and said, "Since everyone is here today, I have something to announce."

"What's the matter?" The investors looked at Tang De in confusion.

Tang De said: "I don't plan to continue directing the fourth part of Lucy. I can be the producer, but we need to find a suitable director."

The investor was surprised to hear this: "Tang, why, this series can't be without you."

Tang De waved his hand and said, "I will be very tired if I keep shooting the same subject. Next time, I plan to shoot more interesting stories or try new subjects."

Seeing that Tang De had made up his mind, the investors did not continue to persuade him. After all, everyone is equal.

And if Tang De can continue to be the producer, the quality of the Lucy series should still be guaranteed.

But they didn't expect that Tang De would be willing to give up the position of director of the Lucy series. You know, every time a movie is shot, it will bring in a huge amount of US dollars.

But for Tang De, he doesn't want to tie his name to the super body.

Just like Nolan, after filming Batman, he started to try new subjects and later filmed science fiction films, war films, and biographies.

Each one of them set a record in film history.

Tang De also hopes so, that he will not be restricted by the subject matter, and whatever he shoots will be popular, rather than just selling well because of the two words "Lucy".

Therefore, he has decided to start the transformation from the next one.

Let's start with this crime film.

Speaking of this movie, Tang De has already named it "Night Walker".

The filming of the movie had just finished, and the props team and art team were setting up the scene. He had to rush back to Canada to continue filming. So after coaxing Elena to sleep that night, he changed his clothes and prepared to leave.

Behind the mirror, Jessica helped him straighten his collar. After she was done, she leaned against Tang De's body and said, "Tang, it seems like we haven't had a moment of our own in a long time."

"Yes." Tang De held her hand and said, "After the movie is over, find a chance to go out for a walk."

"Where's Elena?"

"Just let Carmela take care of them." Tang De said, "Now my two younger brothers can be self-reliant. She often complains to me that her life is a bit boring."

"She really likes children." Jessica laughed, and then put her chin on Tang De's back: "What about the others?"

Tang De knew she was talking about the other women, and replied, "They have their own things to do."

The next second, Jessica bit Tang De.

"You're an asshole."

Tang De hugged Jessica and said, "I am indeed a bastard, the kind that is hopeless."

"Let's go and film." After venting her little grievance, Jessica pushed Tang De away.

Don De got into Tom's car, then said goodbye to Jessica and left.

In the car, Tang De looked at the dark night and asked, "How is Davis doing recently?"

Tom answered while driving: "He now controls 40 percent of the underground drug market in New York, and has also bribed the police and the courts."

"It seems like he finally got it." Tang De tapped his knees: "Did he take revenge on the judge?"

"The judge was hit by a truck on the road, and his son had his fingers chopped off in a nightclub."

"It seems that he still has some sense." Tang De nodded: "He didn't get Arkadi out."

"No, but he bribed the court to reduce Arkady's sentence."

"He is really devoted. Warn him that if Arkady sees him, his identity will be exposed."

"clear."

As the airport approached, Tang De suddenly remembered something and said, "Don't go to see Davis in person. Just call him. After all, no one knows how bold he will be after he becomes rich and powerful."

"Ok."

After arriving at the airport, Tang De took a flight to Canada.

The next afternoon, he arrived at the set after having enough rest. As soon as he entered the shooting scene, he heard an argument.

It was Will Smith and Halle Berry, who were rehearsing in advance for a scene in the movie where they had an argument over money.

Because neither of them would give in, the two men looked like wild beasts confronting each other, face to face and head to head.

Tang De watched from the side for a while, and after they finished the audition, he applauded and said, "Very good, Will, Barry. Act like this later."

"No problem, Don, how is the movie, is it a big hit?" Will Smith asked.

"Of course, none of my films didn't sell well. In three days, $3 million, not counting other countries."

"Wow." Will Smith whistled. "Now that you mention it, I'm looking forward to the box office of this movie."

"Trust me, you will get what you want." Even though this movie is purely original, Tang De is still confident.

It seemed as if he had seen the future.
