Entertainment: God-level director

The next morning, Ju Jingyi had a schedule to run, so she left No. 1 Courtyard.

After seeing off Ju Jingyi, Lin Ran came to the study, turned on the computer, and first went to boxoffice to check the foreign box office of”Super Body”.

As of now,”Super Body” is about to be released for a month, and the domestic box office has reached 2.7 billion.

The overseas box office totaled US$160 million, bringing the total box office to US$540 million.

Moreover, it has just been released in many overseas regions, and it should still get a lot of box office in the future.

Lin Ran remembered that the total box office of”Super Body” in his previous life was 460 million US dollars, and this time it has exceeded it.

However, of the US$460 million box office of”Super Body” in the previous life, US$420 million was obtained overseas, and only US$40 million was obtained domestically, which is far less than the current RMB 2.7 billion.

According to the current box office trend, if all overseas releases are completed, it should not be a big problem to exceed US$200 million.

A Chinese film’s overseas box office has exceeded US$200 million. It is definitely a hit and something that domestic filmmakers should be proud of.

But Lin Ran was not too happy.

The quality of this version of”Superbody” is much better than that of Luc Besson’s original version in the previous version, and the investment in publicity and distribution is no lower than in the previous version. However, just because it is a Chinese movie, the overseas box office is a full 2.2% less. One hundred million U.S. dollars!

To be honest, Lin Ran was very unwilling to do this.

Of course, he also knows that the road is walked step by step, so don’t expect to become fat in one bite.

Just like Hollywood blockbusters that have conquered cities and territories around the world, it took one shocking blockbuster after another to open up the market in various countries.

Now”Super Body” can be considered a good start. When blockbusters of the same quality or better than it are made in the future, the overseas box office will definitely increase.

After closing the ticketing website, Lin Ran opened the document and thought about his next movie.

Currently, Lin Ran wants to shoot two scripts, one is a small-budget musical drama with a budget of only US$3 million, and the other is to continue making science fiction blockbusters.

Lin Ran liked this low-budget musical drama very much in his previous life and watched it many times.

This movie won many awards at the Cannes Film Festival and Oscars, and the box office reached 49 million U.S. dollars. Compared with the cost of 3 million U.S. dollars, it was considered a box office hit.

As for another science fiction blockbuster, as long as it can ensure the quality of its previous life, the global box office will definitely be much higher than that of the low-cost musical drama.

After thinking for more than an hour, Lin Ran finally chose to make a science fiction blockbuster!

There is no doubt that filming that low-budget musical will be easier, and it will also allow him to win heavyweight awards at Cannes and Oscars, which will greatly enhance his status in the industry and become a truly internationally famous director.

However, making such films will not do much to improve the Chinese film industry and enhance the status of Chinese films in the hearts of ordinary audiences overseas.

After all, Lao Mouzi, Brother Kaizi, Section Chief Jia, Wang Xiaoshuai and others have already won many awards from the three major film festivals.

As a result, not only did it fail to improve China’s positive image, but it also increased the impression of China’s poverty and backwardness among many people abroad, and it did not promote the overseas appeal of Chinese films.

Of course, the musical drama Lin Ran wants to make is not the dark tone favored by fifth-generation domestic directors. Even if it is made, it will not tarnish the country’s image.

After deciding on the topic, Lin Ran typed four words for the answer in the middle of the document.

《Interstellar”!

For the next period of time, Lin Ran basically stayed at home, writing the script for”Interstellar” and drawing concept drawings of storyboards and props.

During this period, Song Zuer, who was studying at Nortel, came to him every three days. Gu Linaza and Tong Liya also came to meet Lin Ran halfway, which made Lin Ran not feel bored.

In the blink of an eye, November 10th came and Lin Ran finally had to go out.

Today is the award ceremony of the 34th Hundred Flowers Awards, and Lin Ran is the award guest.

This Hundred Flowers Award was held in Foshan. Lin Ran flew from the capital to Foshan in the morning and arrived at noon.

Since he was just an award guest, he was too lazy to walk on the red carpet. For Lin Ran now, there was no need for such useless exposure.

However, when he arrived at the scene, he was immediately surrounded by reporters.

“Director Lin,”Super Body” has already achieved a box office of US$572 million. Do you think it can break the US$600 million mark?”

“I wish. Lin Ran smiled and said

“Director Lin, do you have any plans for a new film?”

“Got it!”Lin Ran naturally wouldn’t hide it.

The reporters’ eyes lit up and they quickly asked:”Director Lin, can you tell me what the theme of the new film is?”

“It’s a hard science fiction blockbuster. Lin

Ran replied cheerfully.

Seeing that he was so easy to talk to today, the reporters were very excited and continued to ask:”Is the starring role confirmed?””

“No casting has taken place yet.”

This time, Lin Ran smiled and shook his head. He also felt that the information he had proactively exposed was almost there, so he said no more and entered the awards venue. The reporters did not pursue any further questions and quickly reported the news about Lin Ran’s new film. Sent out

“News flash! Lin Ran broke the news at the Hundred Flowers Awards that his new work will be a hard science fiction blockbuster!”

Sina Entertainment is the fastest. It was the first to post the news on Weibo, and it instantly attracted many netizens to forward and comment.

In less than half an hour, the topic #林Ran新片# was ranked eighth on Weibo’s hot search list. Not only were netizens paying attention, but people in the industry were even more excited after seeing the news.

With Lin Ran and Wang Ziwen Those with good connections directly sent WeChat messages to inquire about the new film. Those who were not familiar with the two of them also tried their best to use their connections to get information in the hope of getting a role.
