Entertainment: God-level director

“Three weeks after its release, the global box office of”The Return of the Clown” exceeded US$500 million”

“《”The Return of the Clown” has a box office of over 500 million, becoming the biggest dark horse of the year!”

“《”The Incredibles 2″ ended”The Clown”‘s global box office tops for the week, but it still took in 170 million US dollars!”

“An exclusive interview with director Lin Ran of”Return of the Clown” revealed that the sequel is already in preparation and revealed that the original cast will be maintained.”

After the box office of”The Return of the Clown” exceeded US$500 million, the media reported a lot on it.

No way, the global box office of US$500 million does not seem to be much, but it has entered the top 20 of the global box office this year, reaching 18th place. In North America,”The Return of the Clown” has already received a box office of 271 million US dollars, ranking sixth in the annual box office. Just ahead of it is”Deadpool 2″ with a box office of 318 million U.S. dollars.

Even more terrifying is”The Return of the Clown”. The production cost of”Soul” is extremely low, only 35 million U.S. dollars!

Although the total box office is not too high, the return on investment ratio is definitely the biggest dark horse of the year this year. It is not surprising that the media has written about it.

Lin Ran himself He didn’t pay any more attention to it. Three weeks after the release, the main box office had been harvested, and he also ended his promotional tour.

That night, Ronald Meyer held a grand party at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly. , to celebrate the great sales of”The Return of the Clown”.

Movies that are released globally like”The Return of the Clown” generally have a relatively long release cycle. Even in the United States, they often take two and a half months to be released, not until mid-August. Completely off the schedule.

Therefore, the celebration party will not be held until after the movie is released.

In addition to the creative team of”The Return of the Clown”, Ronald Meyer also invited many celebrities to the party tonight..

Different from the last party, this time Lin Ran no longer relied on Ronald Meier’s attention to attract the attention of others. With”The Return of the Clown”, he himself was the focus of the audience.

A global box office can break A $500 million film director is worthy of the fawning and fawning of most actors!

“Lin, congratulations to”Return of the Clown” for reaching 500 million at the box office.”

Elle Fanning held a glass of champagne and congratulated with a smile on her face.

“haha, thank you. Lin

Ran smiled and clinked the glass with her, then took a sip.

After chatting with Elle Fanning, another female celebrity came towards Lin Ran with a drink.

It was the famous Black Widow.

“Mr. Lin, I am Scarlett John. It is an honor to meet you.”

Scarlett John took the initiative to say hello with a smile on her face.

“Hello, Miss John, I really like your role as Black Widow in Marvel. Lin

Ran also replied with a smile.

“Thank you, Mr. Lin, just call me Scarlett.”

John News – Scarlett smiled

“Okay, Scarlett, then you can also call me Lin.”

“Lin, your work on”The Return of the Clown” was really good. I haven’t seen such an amazing horror movie in a long time.”

“LOL, really?

After chatting for a while, John Scarlett said with a sincere face:”Lin, you are a very talented director. I hope to cooperate with you in the future.””

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect that Black Widow would take the initiative to cooperate with him.

But after thinking about it, Lin Ran understood the reason.

Scarlett John is very famous, but it mainly benefits from the Marvel Black Widow. The role of the Widow, without Marvel, her ability to resist movies alone will be greatly reduced.

For example, last year she starred in”Ghost in the Shell”, a blockbuster adapted from Japanese comics, the production cost alone reached 110 million US dollars However, the global box office is only 169 million, and the domestic box office is only 40 million, which is a huge loss.

As mentioned before, in Hollywood, film companies will never always be superstitious about the reputation of a certain director or actor, even if he has been successful before, once he succeeds, If you mess up a big production, it will be difficult to get the leading role in big productions in the future.

In fact, if Lin Ran remembers correctly, after the failure of”Ghost in the Shell”, in addition to continuing to play the role of Black Widow in Marvel, Apart from the role, Scarlett Johansson has not been offered a leading role in a major production for several years.

Thinking that she handed over the”Super Body” originally starring her to Dilraba Dilraba, Lin Ran felt somewhat apologetic. Then he smiled and nodded and agreed.

“I’m also looking forward to cooperating with you”

“Then I’ll wait for the good news. Seeing

Lin Ran’s immediate agreement, Scarlett John smiled and raised the champagne in her hand.

After taking a sip, she stopped disturbing Lin Ran and went to communicate with other people.

Next People kept coming to Lin Ran to chat and recognize their faces.

Hollywood, like China, is a human society, full of explicit and implicit rules. If you want to get a role, you definitely don’t need good acting skills. After all

, there are many actors with good acting skills, so why should this role be given to you? If you want to get this role, you have to pay some price.

For female stars, they often use their bodies as a trade.

Therefore , some female celebrities directly hinted at various hints, or even made explicit statements.

The party ended at eleven o’clock in the evening, and Lin Ran stayed in the hotel directly. Not long after, there was a knock on the room door.

Come on The person was naturally Elle Fanning.

The next day, Lin Ran didn’t wake up until three o’clock in the morning. After washing up and having lunch at the hotel, Lin Ran went to Fantasy Pictures in the afternoon and convened a meeting with senior executives.

“This time, thanks to the global sales of”The Return of the Clown”, our distribution business has made great progress, but it is still far from enough. Next, expanding the distribution business globally is still the company’s main task, and we must focus on this area.”

“Yes, BOSS.”

The company executives nodded.

This time, the release of”The Return of the Clown” is almost entirely dependent on Universal Pictures’ global distribution network. The most that Dream Pictures can do is to do some errands and get to know the theaters in various countries. Ripe

“In addition, preparations for”The Return of the Clown 2″ will begin immediately, aiming to release it within two years.”

“BOSS, you will still be the director, right?”

Bryden, the company’s vice president asked

“No, I will not continue to direct this time, I am going to hand it over to the assistant director Richard.”

Lin Ran shook his head.

Compared with”The Return of the Clown”》，《”Joker 2″ has a global box office of only 470 million, and its reputation is much worse.

However, this movie still made money, so there will definitely be a sequel, but Lin Ran will definitely not direct it himself again, so as not to ruin his reputation.

After the meeting, Lin Ran flew back to China that night.

In three days, Jiaxing Media will officially be listed on the Hong Kong stock market. As the second largest shareholder, Lin Ran will definitely not be absent.
