I Really Didn’t Want to Be Famous

After seeing the box office on the first day, Xu Qifeng's expected expression gradually turned into disappointment.

He was very lost.

"Breaking Alien" did not explode as he imagined, not only did it not explode, but looked very sluggish.

The box office on the first day was only 200,000 US dollars. If the 200,000 were converted into RMB, it would be about 1.5 million RMB.

It is really cheating to get this result in the premiere, and it is still supported by so many resources...

This……

This is really hard to accept.

Should I be the same as other Chinese movies?

"Hua Xia movies have always appeared in dissatisfaction in Hollywood. The Hua Xia movies that have been out in the past few years are all the same. Don't be discouraged. You are actually very good, and it is only the first day. The first day does not represent anything. That's true." Chen Fangyuan, the head of Tianyu's overseas film and television department, comforted after talking to director Xu Qifeng about the box office.

"Well, yes, our "Maddy Aliens" on the first day of China's box office is also very ordinary, and the word-of-mouth is gradually coming up later, I believe it is the same abroad." Xu Qifeng nodded.

"Yes, it's right to think so. The opening doesn't mean anything. After all, the word-of-mouth or something hasn't been up yet, and tomorrow will be different. I believe there will be a qualitative change tomorrow. Don't worry, the box office will definitely get better tomorrow. Yes, after all, this movie was not very good at the box office when it premiered in China, didn’t it explode afterwards? It will overtake "Future You"."

"Well, thank you Mr. Chen!"

"No, come on, don't think too much."

Chen Fangyuan's words gave Xu Qifeng a little more confidence in his heart. He hung up the phone and silently looked at the night outside the house.

The night is dim and there is no moon.

The weather forecast says it is cloudy and it will rain.

Yes.

Everything is just the beginning!

Tomorrow will definitely be the same metamorphosis.

But I don't know why Xu Qifeng suddenly became nervous again.

Tomorrow is a very important day. It is basically the time to decide the life and death of this movie overseas!

In other words, if the box office on the next day can't improve or maintain the status quo, then the performance of this "Maddy Alien" abroad will really hit the street like other Chinese movies.

So, what will happen tomorrow?

Will it create miracles like in China?

It should be!

should!

After all, I am different from other directors, after all, I am more talented than ordinary directors!

"BOSS... our box office is pretty good, we sold 100,000 US dollars at the box office, and the online reputation is really very good, well, there are even a few well-known film critics who help us write film reviews, they admire our movies, A good review! By the way, BOSS, there is a film review that praises you specifically. The title is "The Pianist's Screenwriting Career". Would you like to send it to you?"

"Well, send it over and see."

"it is good!"

Some people are nervous and others are relaxed.

Some people are unhappy and others are happy.

For example, Lu Yuan is very happy.

Lu Yuan, who was sitting in the office in front of the computer, was naturally the happy one.

The overseas box office of the movie "This Man Comes From Earth" did not disappoint him. The box office of the first day was 100,000, which is equivalent to almost 700,000 yuan.

After deducting the messy taxes and the cinema network share, Lu Yuan received about 200,000 yuan.

Two hundred thousand will be allocated to Forex, thirty thousand, and one hundred seventy thousand are left...

Is it more than 170,000?

Not much!

But less?

nonsense! Of course a lot, earning 170,000 a day, this Nima is pretty good, OK?

And this is a windfall!

Can Lu Yuan still be unhappy?

Lu Yuan is not Xu Qifeng.

Psychologically, he doesn't have much ambitions for the foreign box office, as long as he can make money without losing money.

This movie is completely a test of the water.

Huaxia movies are not good in Hollywood, but this movie gave Lu Yuan a very good signal.

Forex on the other end of the phone is very excited!

There was so much hope at the box office on the first day that he felt that his vision was not wrong, although on average he could only get 30,000 yuan, but these are real money!

At least it is profitable!

This is much better than his previous two movies.

And he found that it’s nice not to be the boss. He no longer has to worry about the box office every day, and he no longer has to worry about the company going bankrupt. After hanging up the phone, he boarded the mailbox and sent the film review to Lu Yuan. Then he smiled and prepared to welcome the early morning of a brand new day.

call!

Tomorrow's box office will be better!

After all, the online reviews are so good, and the box office is definitely good. More importantly, the theater line also saw the box office potential and ranked two games a day into three.

These are hopes.

Lu Yuan, who was staying in the office, hung up the phone, feeling an indescribable sense of happiness all over his body.

He clicked on the mailbox.

When he saw the evaluation of himself under the film review, even Lu Yuan, who had always been thick-skinned, felt embarrassed.

This article is full of English-language talents, geniuses, and amazing men. This man is simply God’s favor, and the future of this man is unlimited...

Except for the praise of the movie, the whole article is all about myself, as if a fan is describing his idol.

"Ahem, modest, modest...this kind of article can't be read more. I am a humble and low-key person. If you read too much, you will lose yourself easily and you can't read more." After Lu Yuan blushed for a while, he shook his head casually. I deleted it, but it was restored from the recycle bin a few seconds after clicking delete.

"No, keep it, after all, this is my first overseas film review, isn't it?"

"All the first time is very precious, you need to see it every day!"

Lu Yuan felt that he made a lot of sense.

No matter everything is important the first time!

Not only should this stuff be kept but also backed up. These things have to be taken out for a little remembrance when you get older.

This is also an experience in life.

Ok!

This is also good.

In fact, I am not the kind of person who enjoys flattering, I have always been very humble.

Of course, after I convinced myself, I advertised myself a little bit of self-hypnosis in line with my personality.

Life...

Isn't it like this?

Just when Lu Yuan yawned and was about to go back to sleep, his cell phone rang.

It's Wang Jinxue's call.

"The overseas box office is pretty good!"

"Well, it's okay."

"What are you doing?"

"I...I'm writing "The Story of Wukong" seriously."

Lu Yuan said this subconsciously.

He admired himself very much, he found that he did not lie through his brain now.

Naturally, he cannot say that he is reading an e-mail touting himself.

after all……

He is ashamed.

"Have you not written it yet?"

"Just finished it."

"Oh, I know the publishing editor of Huaxia Publishing House. She called me the other day and is still very interested in your novel. She hopes to see you. Is it convenient for you?"

"When?"

"Are you free during the day tomorrow?"

"I don't have time during the day. I want to make "Groundhog" during the day. The crew of "Groundhog" is very busy recently. I can't get out of my body. How about tomorrow night at eight?"

"At night..." There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone. "She can't do it at night, only during the day."

"Ah? This... I can't open it during the day... Then when will she be free at night? The day after tomorrow?"

"She's not free at night, why not tomorrow noon? You go to bed early at night, don't stay up late... can you lie down for a little less than half an hour at noon?"

"Uh, that's all right, tomorrow noon at noon tomorrow..."

Lu Yuan nodded, feeling that this Huaxia editor's card is quite big, only free during the day and not at night.

It seems that this editor is not easy to deal with.

Of course he didn't think too much, no matter how bad it was to deal with, it would be fine if the soldiers came to cover the water and earth, right?

Just as he was about to go to bed, the phone rang again.

This time the call was made by Liu.

"Mr. Lu..."

"what happened?"

"This month our company's report has been sent to your mailbox. Well, this month, the traffic of "The Wizarding World" is getting less and less, and there are fewer and fewer recharge users... And yesterday there was a recharge BUG. , So that many top-up users did not buy it at once. After fixing the money-swiping bug, a series of loopholes appeared in the follow-up program... Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, I didn't make this game... I... I'm sorry... "Da Liu's voice on the other end of the phone sounded very low, and Lu Yuan clearly felt that he had a sense of self-blame.

"It's normal that there are bugs in the game, just fix them."

"Mr. Lu, when I checked the programming of this "Wizard World" with a few friends from the technical department in the past two days, I found that many programs in this game are not perfect and run for a period of time without any problems, but we know this After the game runs for a long time, there will be more and more bugs in the game. These are also due to our previous inadequate technology. When we first made this game, the technical aspects and many details were not handled properly... Mr. Lu, I think Can the game be revised again?"

"how long?"

"About half a month."

"Is there no income for about half a month?"

"Yes, Mr. Lu, after all, our company now only has one game, which is very singular, so if you give up this game, there will be no income..." The voice on the phone started to become a little timid, he was afraid that Lu Yuan would be furious.

"What if it keeps running?"

"If it keeps running, the number of players will decrease... This BUG incident caused our game's reputation to plummet."

"Big Liu……"

"Yes, President Lu."

"For the time being, let's put "The Wizarding World" for a while. I have an idea that we may not have the power to make large-scale games with our current company's strength. Or we can start from a small game platform..."

"Small game platform?"

"How long does it take you to make a game that is a few megabytes in size, such as Doudizhu?"

"This... these games are very simple. If we come together as a team, it can be done in half a day..."

"Well, that's good, listen. We are making a software platform. The platform is mainly based on casual games, such as Doudizhu, Sparrow, and billiards, as well as those upgraded brainwashing games, these brainwashing games For example, "Stealing Vegetables from Happy Farm" such as "Plants vs. Zombies", such as..."

"President Lu, can you elaborate on it? No... Mr. Lu, shall I come over tomorrow?" After Liu heard these things, his eyes lit up instantly!

"Tomorrow? I have an appointment tomorrow day."

"Then tomorrow night?"

"can!"

"it is good!"

………………………………

"Director, the box office data is out."

"How many?"

"I sent your email."

"okay."

Early morning on the 19th.

Thomson hung up the phone and opened the mailbox. When he saw the box office data for the next day, he smiled slightly.

"Future You" has a box office of 400,000 dollars, while "Maddy Aliens" only has a box office of $100,000.

The comparison of the two data is really a sense of gap.

It seems that China’s dark horse movie has finally hit the streets in overseas markets.

After all, like other Huaxia movies, the situation of dissatisfaction appeared.

He smiled.

When he was about to close the mailbox, he suddenly saw the box office of "This Man From Earth"...

The box office of this movie is 150,000...

He squinted his eyes, and then checked the box office on the first day of the movie...

When he saw that the second day had increased by 50,000 from the first day, he instantly had a bad feeling.

You must know that there is basically no publicity for this movie in overseas markets, and there are few resources...

In this case, the box office can still go up, which...

Not scientific!

He logged on to the Internet and saw a few hot film reviews on the Internet, and his bad feelings deepened.

Maybe this movie...

This movie may burst!

Nima!

Are you kidding me?

Huaxia is in a mess. Is it going to happen to the United States now?

This……

Is this still a Chinese movie?
