Chapter 1009: Side Story: I am a vulgar person (2)

—*The Uninvited Guest* box office failure, Lu Yan He is angry and ashamed.

This is the headline of this overseas media report.

After seeing it, Lu Yan He laughed out of anger.

Chen Ziyan was even angrier.

Because this media interview was agreed to by her side.

It was equivalent to her digging a hole for Lu Yan He.

Chen Ziyan responded directly through *Variety* magazine: "Because unprofessional questions were pointed out by Lu Yan He, they put the hat of 'angry and ashamed' on Lu Yan He. Who is actually angry and ashamed? A movie with a production cost of 20 million US dollars grossed 50 million US dollars at the global box office in 10 days of release, but it was repeatedly called a failure and box office failure. Such questions are called unprofessional. Who has the problem?"

Chen Ziyan's tough attitude triggered discussions among many media.

Originally, the media circles should be like lips and teeth.

However, this time, it was actually visible whose problem it was.

And Lu Yan He has always been cooperative with the media—which gave him many friends in the media circle. Therefore, the media circle supported Lu Yan He instead.

—Lu Yan He was able to give the opportunity for an exclusive interview, but encountered such unprofessional questions, which made me, who is also in the media industry, feel ashamed. Yan He, you should accept my exclusive interview, I am professional.

—Lu Yan He and his Linghe Films have been committed to the production of genre films like *Flypaper*, *The Uninvited Guest*, and *Buried* these years. In a situation where they could have taken the safe route with sequel films, Lu Yan He and his Linghe Films were launching original projects, using new directors, actors, and screenwriters. Even if the box office performance of *The Uninvited Guest* is not as bright as Lu Yan He's other films, it should not be ridiculed like this.

—*The Uninvited Guest* may not be a good movie worth everyone going to the cinema to watch, but it is definitely not a bad movie that can be summarized simply by box office failure.

……

Perhaps because of the promotion of such a topic, the attention received by the movie *The Uninvited Guest* on social media has increased significantly.

This point was also fed back to the box office performance.

In North America, the daily box office data deviated from the estimated trend and showed a significant rebound.

In Europe, the box office of *The Uninvited Guest* also received a significant increase.

Julieta, as the biggest star of *The Uninvited Guest* and also a first-tier Hollywood actress, posted three behind-the-scenes contents about the filming of this movie on her social media.

She stated: In Hollywood, film projects with women as the protagonist are already fewer than film projects with men as the protagonist, and as a Spanish actress, my opportunity to star in a Hollywood movie is far less than everyone thinks. If Lu Yan He hadn't given the green light to such a project, *The Uninvited Guest* would likely only have been able to exist in the form of a script, sitting on a shelf. If Wan Qingqing hadn't chosen this project as her second project, I would almost have been unable to play such a complex female character who is not 'correct' enough.

Julieta's positioning in Hollywood is actually a bit like Penelope Cruz in a parallel universe, but she is still far from the latter, who has already won an Oscar and been nominated many times, at least she has entered the core circle, and there is definitely no shortage of vase heroines in big productions and heroines in small productions.

Julieta's name is greater than her actual status.

She has almost never carried a Hollywood movie alone. After opening her popularity by hitching a ride on some blockbusters, she rarely has the opportunity to get a truly powerful role.

Just as she said, *The Uninvited Guest* might be the best role she has received in Hollywood in recent years.

Under the rendering of the topic, the attention of *The Uninvited Guest* gradually increased.

Whether it was out of support for Lu Yan He or curiosity about the movie, the number of viewers walking into the cinema to watch this movie increased significantly.

In the third week, the single-week box office exceeded 21 million US dollars, and the global box office miraculously approached 80 million US dollars. ===== CHAPTER 1010 =====
