Global Movie Emperor

After waking up in the morning, Lu Ze checked yesterday's box office. The box office of more than 30 million was much lower than he expected. This had a lot to do with the various unfavorable news spread before the release.

It is estimated that many people still regard this movie as a money laundering movie. If they have not watched "The King of Fighters", their views will naturally not change. Perhaps this false rumor will only change after word of mouth really spreads.

The second is that imported films put too much pressure on local films and are too aggressive. However, this is the distrust of movie fans caused by domestic films feeding shit to the audience for a long time. This situation is all caused by myself. To be honest, I If you are too weak, don't blame your opponent for being too strong.

Yesterday, the box office of the imported film was close to 60 million. Most of the fans commented that it was enjoyable to watch. Ordinary movie fans would not study the core carefully and just enjoy the visual feast on May Day.

Theaters have also made great adjustments to their film schedules. They don’t care which country you filmed in, as long as the money goes into your pocket. Therefore, the film schedule of "Escape from Despair" has jumped to the third place today. One, reaching an astonishing 41.77%, while the film schedule of "The King of Fighters" fell below 30%, but even more unlucky are "Autumn Brocade" and "Starlight", these two movies The film schedule has been greatly affected.

Fortunately, "Starlight" has only one outstanding young actor as the lead actor and an investment of 50 million. Yesterday's box office exceeded 10 million. It is estimated that recovering the cost before it is released will not be a problem.

But "Autumn Brocade" is over. It invested hundreds of millions, and two-thirds of it was Xiao Xianrou's salary. As a result, apart from fans, other passerby audiences didn't buy it at all. The movie was considered a big deal. Now the director and Investors can only pray to God that they can lose less.

This phenomenon is a disaster for the single movie "Autumn Brocade", but it is a good thing for the market, and Lu Ze is very willing to see it.

When the fan economy is no longer powerful enough to destroy the market economy, then the current media companies will also start to consider whether there is value in praising the little fresh meat.

With the improvement of the level of spiritual civilization, although the bubble economy brought by Xiaoxianrou has brought temporary prosperity to the film and television industry, when this flashy prosperity passes, the market is destined to return to normal, and everything will be based on quality.

Judging from the movie box office reports in recent years, four or five years ago, it was a small-scale economy, where actors dominated the box office and had nothing to do with the movie itself. As a result, the Chinese film market entered the era of bad movies.

However, there has been a clear trend in the high-grossing movies of the past two years, returning to the nature of the movie itself and gradually getting rid of the shortcomings of the appeal of the actors.

It is foreseeable that the era of bad movies is not far from coming to an end. The movies that can really make money in the future will either have a good story that touches people's hearts, or have top-notch special effects that burst with adrenaline. Apart from these two methods, nothing else will work. change.

In a broad sense, this is the transformation and rebirth of Chinese films. As a member of the Chinese film industry, Lu Ze is happy to see it.

From a personal level, in the future, movies will focus on quality, which will be a disaster for popular stars, but it will be a huge carnival for powerful actors.

As long as there is market demand, there will never be a shortage of good scripts. Don't underestimate the creativity that money can bring to people. As long as there is money hanging around, the imagination of screenwriters can reach the sky.

Yesterday's box office was lower than expected, but Lu Ze is not in a hurry. After all, there is still a long time. Wait and see, this movie may help Lu Ze become a member of the billion-dollar box office club.

On the second day of May Day, the box office will definitely not be low.

But his most important thing now is not to pay close attention to the box office of "The King of Fighters", but to quickly return to Hong Kong to continue filming, otherwise the old man Song Qingmin will be so anxious that he will explode.

After packing his suitcase, Lu Ze checked the time and whether the camera recorded anything last night. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly on the bed, his heart dropped a little.

Liu Bin called and said that he was already waiting downstairs. He carried a suitcase full of shipping labels downstairs. When he stood at the door of the community, he saw two Audi A6s of the same model parked behind his nanny car. Lu Ze He didn't think it had anything to do with him, so he just glanced at it and pulled the suitcase into the car.

"Brother Lu, the company has allocated six security guards to you, and they will follow you until you get on the plane."

Wang Zixuan opened the notebook and took a look at it. She picked up a pen and scratched a few times in the notebook. When she saw Lu Ze getting in the car, she reminded him loudly. Then she took out her mobile phone and took a photo of Lu Ze.

"Me? Why are you providing security for me? Just the two Audis at the back? Who arranged it?"

"Minister Wang arranged it, saying that the new film has a good reputation, and it is equipped with security guards to make you pay attention to your safety."

Lu Ze sat up straight and glanced back. Two cars were following him. They were quite professional and did not get distracted by waiting for the traffic light.

"That's it for today. Aren't they going to follow me to Xiangjiang? Don't follow me from now on. I won't be noticed if I go by myself. It will be more conspicuous if I follow six bodyguards."

"Okay, I'll report to Minister Wang later."

"Okay, that's it. You pick out some boys' clothes, buy the ones you choose, buy some Lego toys, and send them to Song Guiyuan together with this."

He took out a red gift box from his arms. Inside was the pure gold longevity lock that Lu Ze went to pick out last night. Song Guiyuan had a son, born in April.

Originally, Lu Ze wanted to go there when Song's wife was just born, but Song Guiyuan stopped him and told Lu Ze not to worry about filming in Xiangjiang. The child was at home and he could go see her anytime. Good buddy. No need to do this.

Regardless of whether they are ordinary friends or good buddies, Lao Song is the kind of character who can avoid troubling others without troubling others. It is really embarrassing for his friends to delay work and come to congratulate him. Moreover, Lu Ze is still in Xiangjiang, flying so far away to see his children. Not worth it.

As for Lu Ze, Song Qingmin's request was that as long as the filming went well, he would not care about you after work, whether you went out to the bar at night or went on a date with a girl, as long as you could go to work the next day.

But asking for leave will cost him his life. If it is not a serious matter, he will not consider letting you go at all. If you say, "Director Song, my good friend is having a baby, I have to go and see it," he will not follow. You were furious, but you wrinkled your face like an old bitter gourd, and kept trying to persuade you not to leave, not to be anxious, and that you could accompany your child to grow up by finishing the filming as soon as possible.

So Lu Ze really couldn't find time to see the baby, but he had always been thinking about it. Old Song didn't want the red envelope he gave him when he was born, but it was about to be a full moon now. If he didn't go there, there would be no more. Said, is this something that buddies can do?

He called Lao Song. Lu Ze was quite embarrassed. He was stumbling over his words. On the contrary, Song Guiyuan was very generous. They were all actors. Everyone knew the pain of not having time. He asked Lu Ze to relax and wait until the filming was finished. After the drama is over, go to the Imperial Capital to have a good drink.

He also kept saying not to buy things for his children. He had everything at home, which made Lu Ze more and more embarrassed. After filming, he immediately went to the imperial capital to see his eldest nephew. This matter became his top priority.

After arriving at the airport, Lu Ze finally saw his bodyguards. Different from the bodyguards in his impression, they did not wear suits, ties, sunglasses, etc. They were simply uniformed.

And they are not tall either, not as tall as Lu Ze. If they were to be disciples of some martial arts family, Lu Ze wouldn't believe it. How could a real martial arts master be his bodyguard? Lu Ze still knew this.

This group of people is just a bunch of ordinary people, but they are very impressive. They look more like a gangster than the extras in Xiangjiang who play gangsters.

As expected, after entering the airport, these six people attracted the attention of many people. Although Lu Ze is not a household name now, he is still somewhat well-known in the eyes of the public, and he was quickly recognized. He started taking pictures of Lu Ze with his mobile phone.

"Sorry, I can't take pictures. Thank you."

"Please don't take pictures. Thank you. Take it."

"Put your phone away!"

One of the bodyguards shouted, which startled Lu Ze. When he turned around, he saw him pointing at a girl with a fierce expression. The little girl was frightened and looked at a loss.

Lu Ze was quite angry. Originally, he wore a mask and a hat honestly. It would have been impossible to attract so many people at the airport. Now it would be better to arrange a group of social big brothers for himself, not only to attract attention, but also Make trouble for yourself.

He really hated this kind of security. After all, he had been pushed and pushed by this kind of security before. Even if he was an artist, he was not interested in this kind of security. He turned around and patted the security guard on the shoulder.

"Brother, she is a girl after all. You came here to prevent me from having acid thrown at me. You didn't come here to cause trouble for me, right? If so, I will file a complaint against you. Apologize to the girl, no. Sorry, he sounded a little excited just now, I apologize on his behalf, I'm in a hurry, so I have to leave after taking a photo together, okay, there are a lot of people here, please pay attention to safety."

After returning the phone that had taken the photo to the girl, and shaking hands with the confused girl, Lu Ze waved to the people present and turned to leave.

"Tell Minister Wang, either don't ask for security, or find some martial arts heroes for me. If that doesn't work, at least the quality must be higher. What the hell is this?"

After speaking into Wang Zixuan's ear, Lu Ze checked in his luggage, picked up his ticket and boarded the plane.
