Chapter 236

On the evening of September 15, 2004, Beiping time, Boss Lu received a call from Han Shanping at the film set in Vancouver's Chinatown.

"What should we do? Little Lu, you make the decision."

Boss Lu said something to the assistant director, walked out of the set and started smoking, his whole person lost in thought.

The intention of Old Han's call was very clear.

"Otherworld" has been released in China since July 20th. Starting from tomorrow, there are 5 days left until it is taken off the screen, and the box office figure has reached 352 million.

This result is the result of all buffs being stacked in the early stage, marketing being stacked, and anti-piracy and anti-stealing box office being done to the extreme.

Inquiry Realm's official blog will announce the previous day's box office, screening, and cumulative box office figures at 10 am every morning.

All film and television companies, practitioners, fans, and movie fans in the domestic entertainment industry, whether resisting or looking forward to it, are waiting to see if this figure can fulfill Boss Lu's original bold words.

Now, there is still a gap of more than 7 million from the 359 million of "Titanic," and the screening has dropped to the freezing point.

This cannot blame the "profit-seeking" cinema line. Basically, all potential audiences have seen, and even seen "Otherworld" more than once.

You can't ask them to give up other popular movies and still screen this "outdated" blockbuster.

The cooperative relationship between Han Shanping and Lu Kuan has entered the deep water area, and there is nothing to hide from him.

"Organize a cinema booking, right? Let's each pay 3.5 million and break this record."

"Little Lu, once the record is broken, you are the number one director in China, and you can directly remove the word 'young' from before! No one's box office is convincing in front of you!"

Old Han, like a poisonous snake tempting Adam and Eve, threw a poisonous bait to Boss Lu.

Booking a cinema is easy, but it is difficult not to leak the news.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, it's like taking medicine to do things. No matter how happy the girl calls, she always feels that it's not how powerful her own bull is.

This will also become a professional stain on Lu Kuan, blackening the achievement of more than 351 million that has already created a miracle, which is not beautiful.

However, for Old Han, this is a major performance of his managing China Film.

Under his governance, a co-produced film broke through the shackles of "Titanic" that had long been hanging over the heads of the Chinese people, and became a monument in the mainland film market!

Boss Lu said righteously: "President Han, this is something that destroys the market policy order, and it will also set up a negative example for latecomers. It must not be done."

Old Han felt very sorry: "Then what should we do? I'm really not reconciled!"

"Do your best and listen to fate."

Lu Kuan hung up the phone, ended the day's scenes with a restless mind, and returned to the room.

He opened the computer and entered his homepage.

The homepage has not been updated for more than a month. The last one was still cheering for the national football team in the Asian Cup final.

After thinking for a few seconds, he deliberated and started typing on the keyboard:

【Dear movie fans and all audiences who love movies, I am Chinese director Lu Kuan.

Starting from Director Yimou's "Hero" in 2002, everyone who cares about and supports China's film industry has been looking forward to it breaking the box office record of "Titanic."

It's a pity that the timing is not right.

Two years have passed. This year, the historical box office champion in South Korea is their local film.

The historical box office champion in Japan changed hands two years ago, and it is also a local film.

And we, a country with 1.3 billion people, all directors look up in a trance, and the ceiling of the box office is still floating with the giant ship of "Titanic" that is about to sink.

Seven years! Today, we finally waited for this opportunity to reverse!

Inform everyone of a figure: there are 5 days left until "Otherworld" is taken off the screen nationwide, and we are still 7 million away from breaking the record of 359 million!

We are very weak. Our film industry, talent reserve, and number of screens cannot compete with Hollywood.

But we are also very strong. We have the oldest and most brilliant culture, the most movie-loving audiences, and the most magnificent market!

Here, I represent the "Otherworld" crew to appeal to everyone: if you have the ability, willingness, and time to add bricks and tiles to "Otherworld" again, please walk into the cinema again.

2005 is the 100th birthday of Chinese cinema.

Shame should be washed away today!】

After typing the last exclamation mark, he sent a message to Zhuang Xu, instructing him to push the flow hard.

Blogs and Douban go without saying; Tianya and Maopu were also quickly occupied by the reposts of movie fans.

Several major domestic portal websites were swiped by the same screen.

There are also several domestic movie fan websites, such as the "I Love Movies" forum, which currently has the largest traffic and the most pirated resources, and other gathering places for enthusiasts.

A reposted article that was magically modified into "Washing Machine's Appeal" spread like wildfire.

Little Liu, who was surfing, saw it. She knew how huge her fan base is now, and she also felt that she should do something.

Immediately asked Yang Siwei to find paper and pen.

Two minutes later, Liu Yifei's official blog reposted Boss Lu's blog post, accompanied by a picture she uploaded.

In the photo, she is plain-faced, holding a piece of white paper in her hand, on which is written: Come on for the 100th anniversary of Chinese cinema! Come on "Otherworld"!

And @ a bunch of entertainment industry acquaintances such as Anita Mui, Zhou Zhou Jielun, Zhou Xun, Feng Yuanzheng, Su Chang, Huang Xiaoming, etc.

Zhou Zhou Jielun just came out of the recording studio. That "Qie Li Xiang" took him an afternoon.

The otaku habitually opened the blog to interact with fans, and Lu Kuan's blog post was sent by the fierce traffic.

Looking at Liu Yifei's @, he also decisively called his agent Li Fengni.

Zhou Zhou Jielun's fan count on the blog has exceeded 10 million, and even fans from Southeast Asia, Japan, and South Korea have registered to follow him.

In the photo, he is wearing a bald-sleeved gray hoodie, holding a white paper with a dragging face: Come on for the 100th anniversary of Chinese cinema! Come on "Otherworld"!

Behind is a series of @.

Anita Mui's energy is greater. A group of big shots in the Hong Kong film and television circle received the @, and most of them gave face to post articles to support!

Zhang Yimou, Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, Gao Yuanyuan, Hu Ge, Huang Bo, Zhang Jizhong, Feng Yuanzheng, Maggie Cheung, Zhao Benshan...

In the first batch of domestic enthusiast gathering places such as "I Love Movies" and movie resource forums, the celebrity support blogs moved by "self-coming water" constantly bombarded their neural networks.

The famous film critic Zhou Liming of later generations is the moderator of the film review area of "I Love Movies." He opened a post with excitement.

"Although I have watched 'Otherworld' three times, after reading Director Lu's blog, I decided to go again, no, twice!"

In just ten minutes, more than 600 floors were built.

Liu Yifei kept refreshing and replying to comments after posting the blog.

She enthusiastically replied to every fan friend, and asked Yang Siwei to call Liu Qiangdong to get hundreds of t-shirts and various merchandise.

She was moved by everyone's support and decided to stay up late to send some benefits to fans.

The replies below the blog post are also varied.

"The washing machine has become a damn tear gas. It moved me a bit. Forget it, let's reward him with another ticket!"

"Xixi, remember this 50-yuan movie ticket of mine is a betrothal gift for you."

"You have cut off all contact with the washing machine. I will buy movie tickets with all the money for charging 'Legend' points tomorrow!"

"I only need to make a slight move, and the washing machine is a clown. This ticket is my alms to the clown!"

Five days passed in a flash. In these last few days, many movie fans across the country walked into the cinema again, and even many actors who were not familiar with Boss Lu walked into the cinema, which can be considered a support for Chinese cinema.

On the morning of September 21, Old Han called, the record has been broken!

As of the time it was taken off the screen, "Otherworld" reported a total box office of 361 million in the mainland, successfully surpassing "Titanic" by a margin of 2 million and reaching the top!

This day will become a day that Chinese cinema will always remember.

At the same time, with the removal of "Otherworld" in China, the global screening has been declared to be over.

When mainland and Hollywood media looked back at this sci-fi blockbuster that swept the world in the summer of 2004, they were surprised to find that it created countless staggering records!

In 2002, "Hero" had 4.1 billion yen at the box office in Japan, and now it is replaced by "Otherworld" with 6.7 billion yen, becoming the non-local champion in Japan;

Released in South Korea for a month and a half, the cumulative number of viewers was over 5 million, far exceeding the 1.22 million of "Hero," becoming the non-local champion in South Korea;

Hong Kong's 53 million Hong Kong dollars achieved a temporary annual champion, which may be broken by "Kung Fu" at the end of the year;

Thailand's 4 million US dollars, Malaysia's 3.8 million US dollars, Singapore's 5.5 million US dollars...

In the whole of Asia, the final result of "Otherworld" is fixed at 144 million US dollars, winning the historical champion!

Plus the 148 million US dollars in North America and 200 million US dollars in Europe and other regions, the final global total box office of "Otherworld" is 492 million US dollars, converted according to the 2004 US dollar to RMB exchange rate...

What is this concept?

In the space-time without Boss Lu, the total box office in the mainland in 2004 was 1.57 billion. This figure is more than twice that of the latter!

In the 2003 Cannes, Boss Lu took the initial investment of 10 million US dollars to fool Tom Cruise into the trap, and then defeated the conspiracy of Buena Vista and Harvey.

At that time, Hollywood onlookers of Disney, countless black fans and competitors in the country were all looking forward to how this farce would end.

I didn't expect such an ending.

Of course, no matter how many figures there are, in the eyes of opponents, it will only make them more jealous. You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

Film critics like Zhu Dake who hold the right to speak in the comment circle still refuse to let go, calling Boss Lu a "lead-the-way party" that destroys the foundation of Chinese cinema, injecting cancer cells of culture that are completely entertainment-to-death into the body of the whole nation, which will cause endless disasters!

Lu Taro, in order to promote his new film "Kekexili," also spoke out on the internet with his old father Lu Tianmin, trying every means to pick bones in an egg.

They firmly grasped a main line of sprayers: Lu Kuan's commercial films have a monopolistic trend, which will undoubtedly stifle the living space of mainland art films. This is a "three-light" action against the budding of film art and will inevitably become a sinner in history!

Han Han was the first to disagree with this statement. He couldn't stand this kind of traditional preaching, and launched multiple rounds of scolding wars with Lu Tianmin on the internet, with a sky-high momentum!

Boss Lu was too lazy to fight with these losers. These people were just waiting for him to respond, and then fight for three hundred rounds!

He had just come out of Harvey's Miramax and clarified the final box office share with Lionsgate, including "Otherworld" and "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Since only the big heads of North America, Europe, East Asia, and Hong Kong and Taiwan regions in the world are shared, and other non-key markets are sold out, the final figure participating in the share is just 400 million US dollars.

After deducting marketing expenses, taxes, cinema shares, and producer Tom Cruise's share, Lu Kuan finally pocketed 58 million US dollars.

This figure looks shabby, but it is the normal share level of Hollywood blockbusters.

"Interstellar" of later generations is hot enough, right? Relying on the box office, it didn't even break even, and it was even a small loss without DVD Warner.

As mentioned earlier, the main money-making things for Hollywood film companies during this period are DVD and merchandise.

However, according to practice, the DVD and online TV copyright of "Otherworld" will have to wait 6-8 months before they can be born. A sale agreement with a total price of 65 million including paid TV and online copyright in North America and other regions has been signed.

Boss Lu shared 39 million US dollars in this item.

Adding the two incomes, Lu Kuan's "Otherworld" project finally earned 97 million US dollars.

Similarly, "Fahrenheit 9/11" earned 44 million US dollars.

This figure is nearly 6 million US dollars less than when Disney operated in the previous life, mainly because of the obstruction encountered in distribution.

Different from the domestic censorship system, the power of film censorship in the United States is in the hands of the Motion Picture Association of America.

This association is the toy of the Big Six.

Disney made trouble, setting "Fahrenheit 9/11" as an R-rated film, causing it to lose at least 25% of its audience.

Tyrant Eisner was furious after "Around the World" was defeated by "Otherworld," and secretly launched Bush's supporters to protest the film, demanding a comprehensive ban.

It's called a free country. Voters can say whatever they want, but Hollywood stars under the influence of Harvey and Lionsgate obviously have higher right to speak.

Especially the "self-coming water" Sean Penn, who didn't need public relations at all, spontaneously stood up to support Moore, the director of "Fahrenheit 9/11," causing a huge demonstration effect.

After these two films, Inquiry Realm (USA)'s "Paranormal Activity 2" and "Insidious" completed post-production one after another and were released, continuously completing capital accumulation for the US company.

Plus the previous 20 million US dollars, now the US Inquiry Realm has about 160 million US dollars in its account.

This part of the money must be used to acquire Golden Harvest, used for the re-discovery of special effects talents, and used for the reproduction of films.

Wait for more accumulation, just in time for the arrival of the subprime mortgage crisis. I can't say he will be a big short seller and make a big profit!

Of course, classic IPs such as "Twilight" to be published in 2005 have long become Boss Lu's goals and things in his pocket.

At the same time, Liu Yifei's residence in Changping.

The blog post where she called on fans to enter the cinema to support the 100th anniversary of Chinese cinema built a high building, which directly led to signing t-shirts until the early morning these two nights.

Yang Siwei walked into her bedroom carefully and picked up the "Otherworld" merchandise t-shirts scattered on the ground and folded them.

Liu Yifei was lying on the bed half-dressed, and the computer screen in front of her was still on.

The subtle sound woke her up.

"Siwei... why did you come so early?"

Yang Siwei looked at Liu Yifei, who was about to have dark circles, and said with heartache: "You can't tire yourself out even if you help others, right?"

"Hurry up and pack up. Today we are going to Inquiry Realm to record 'Sour and Sweet is You'."

The Super Girl finals of the October Golden Week are imminent. According to the strategic cooperation agreement between Inquiry Realm and Mengniu, she will serve as the opening guest and help out with super high popularity.

The little girl rubbed her sleepy eyes and tried her best to support her body to sit by the computer.

"Is the box office record broken? Let me see."

Liu Yifei logged into Lu Kuan's personal blog, refreshed the page, and jumped eight feet high with surprise!

"Great! Great! The washing machine is now the number one director in China."

"This also has your credit. Your fans probably supported a lot of figures."

Yang Siwei smiled and said: "But we are also the mainland actress with the highest cumulative box office now, not in vain!"

She folded the clothes with her back to Liu Yifei, ready to call someone to take them away for mailing, and asked without looking back: "You wash and put on makeup quickly? Ready to record the song."

No reply was heard for a long time.

Looking back, Liu Yifei had already crossed out the computer interface with a dark face.

"Don't go! Record what!"

The little girl stepped on slippers, and the wooden floor clattered.

She walked into the bathroom and slammed the door heavily, shaking Yang Siwei's heart.

This is the first time the agent has seen her artist so angry.

She frowned and walked to the computer. This violent fluctuation of emotions for a while, the only possible reason is the blog interface that was crossed out just now.

"Bingbing?"

Yang Siwei frowned and flipped through her latest blog posts and photos.

The background is the black big logo of the "Vogue" headquarters in New York, as well as group photos with Alexander Wang, Galliano, and Anna Wintour.

Bingbing is wearing a pink OL-style women's suit, standing in the middle with a smile like a flower.

Wow! When did Bingbing have such top-level resources?

She is a bit unfamiliar with Alexander Wang, but she knows the two big shots next to her!

Little Liu in the bathroom splashed cold water on her face, thinking of the picture pushed by the blog just now, and her teeth were itchy with hatred.

She didn't know those two foreigners, but she knew Alexander Wang!

After Cannes, Lu Kuan fooled this Chinese designer, and she was beside him.

If it weren't for Lu Kuan who was filming in the United States, how could Fan Bingbing appear in "Vogue"?

In the vast sea of people, where did she know this Alexander Wang who was still unknown?

Although that dog man didn't enter the frame, she could imagine with her teeth that the washing machine must be standing beside him!

Little Liu felt very aggrieved.

Looking up at the face in the mirror that was a bit haggard because of staying up late to sign for him, Little Liu wished she could fly to the United States now to grab his collar and question him!

Are you still a human?

Unconscionable scumbag!

Like countless female college students who suspect their boyfriends of cheating in later generations, she has already put the picture of Boss Lu playing poker with Bingbing in her mind.

Liu Yifei simply washed and walked out of the bathroom, looking at the agent with indifference.

"Call and tell Inquiry Realm that I am too tired to work recently, and I won't record the song. The time is to be determined."

"If they have any questions, let Lu Kuan call me himself."

After speaking, she fell on the bed, adjusted the air conditioner to the lowest, and covered her head with a quilt.

I, Little Liu, am very angry now!

Yang Siwei laughed dumbly. Although she didn't understand her brain circuit, this matter obviously couldn't get rid of that enemy.

The chubby agent sighed in her heart.

You are entangled with him in this life, it is messy and chaotic.

The news that "Otherworld" won the first box office record in domestic film history quickly spread across the internet.

In addition to the carnival of fans and movie lovers, the "News Broadcast" on the night of the 21st gave another ten-second text broadcast.

One movie, two "News Broadcasts."

At this time node in 2004, it can almost be said to be the top-level face.

In addition to the milestone significance of breaking the monopoly of foreign films at the box office, the national propaganda department also attaches great importance to the sensation and heated discussion caused by the film in overseas Chinese culture.

Considering the upcoming Olympic Games four years later, how to package and promote our excellent culture to the outside world has become an important proposition.

Around 2005 of later generations, the Beiping Olympic Organizing Committee is about to start the solicitation work for the opening ceremony plan, and Boss Lu has entered the vision above.

Beiping Huayi headquarters, Zhou Jun, who has been frequenting recently, is sitting in the office with Big and Small Wangs smoking.

Wang Dajun sighed: "When watching the game at the Workers' Stadium that day, Zhou Zong told us how Lu Kuan used Liu Yifei's popularity and fans to make articles."

"At that time, I felt that there was still some meaning of looking at flowers in the fog. Now, with one appeal, she can drive and influence so many box office figures, which can be considered as on-site teaching for us."

Wang Xiaolei nodded in agreement: "The key is that most of her fans are teenagers now. When the consumption power of this fan group improves, it will be a more terrifying figure."

"Everyone!"

Zhou Jun threw cigarettes to both allies: "Be brave after knowing shame. Now the whole mainland entertainment industry is imitating this development route, but our advantage is the greatest."

Wang Xiaolei frowned: "The Liu Yifei cousin marketed by Tangren is a bit interesting. That girl is now posting some daily life on the blog, and the number of fans is also growing."

Zhou Jun sneered: "What kind of wild path is Liu Yifei's cousin? Will she use this nickname for the rest of her life? She doesn't have any idea of surpassing at all?"

Bones in the grave, I will catch them sooner or later.

"The Yang Mi who came out of Ruili just signed by Rongxinda, Li Shaohong is very optimistic about her. I heard that she wants to push her to be the heroine of next year's CCTV drama 'Wang Zhaojun', and also participate in 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' with Liu Yifei."

Zhou Jun shook his head: "The first cooperation is to be a match for others. It is not a wise move to be a head shorter when debuting."

Seeing small profits and forgetting life, not a heroine.

"What about the Tang Yan signed by Emperor? Still an Olympic baby, the image and figure are very outstanding."

"Hong Kong filmmakers go north, their own actresses haven't figured out how to play, so they want to intervene in the mainland's star-making movement? The difficulty is too great."

A dog guarding the door, not worth mentioning.

Dajun and Xiaolei looked at each other. If Lu Kuan were here, Zhou Jun would have to shout with him:

Today's heroines, only Nara and Yifei!

It is excellent to grow one's own prestige, but the two brothers haven't seen any huge advantage on their side yet, so why is Zhou Jun so confident and determined today.

Zhang Nara's popularity in South Korea is not low, but does the domestic entertainment industry recognize it?

Liu Yifei of the same type is blocking the way in front, and there is Lu Kuan as a backer. How to walk this single-plank bridge?

"You don't quite believe it, do you?"

Zhou Jun looked at the two with a smile, and decided to give them a little red shock.

"The above attaches great importance to external cultural exchange and propaganda. I asked people to contact the diplomatic side, and will seek a status of China-South Korea cultural exchange ambassador for her in the near future."

"She will travel between China and South Korea with this status and play a bridge role in cultural exchange."

The Wang brothers' eyes lit up. This style is high!

What are performing arts stars? We directly rise to the level of national cultural exchange. It sounds different to the common people.

Especially Zhang Nara's sweetness and affinity, not only the teenage group, but adult fans will also accumulate a lot.

"Second, you can consider contacting Hunan TV. I see that this Director Ouyang has a high degree of recognition for Korean culture. 'Dae Jang Geum' has been put on their station again and again."

Wang Dajun nodded: "What's more, the pressure caused by Inquiry Realm's Travel Satellite TV to Hunan TV is too great. We can be considered to have a common enemy."

"Yes, let's organize a few more episodes of programs like 'Happy Camp', let Nara get familiar with the domestic entertainment industry first!"

Wang Xiaolei now admires this Zhou Zong with an extraordinary background from the bottom of his heart.

This is moving the vertical and horizontal alliances in the struggles of your old man to the entertainment industry to learn and use!

Zhou Jun looked at the surprised eyes of the two and sneered, the vision is too limited.

They can't understand his fundamental thinking of making a big plate to seek a public listing, telling stories, and cashing out. Of course, there is no need to tell them now.

Silently playing chess, only speaking when killing the opponent.

"By the way, next year is the centenary of film, and Beiping Film Academy is also the 55th anniversary of the school. There should be a gift drama project recently."

"For such a project, generally well-known alumni will participate. Liu Yifei definitely can't run away. I'll see if I can make an effort to let Nara be the heroine."

Zhou Jun rubbed his chin: "This matter, President Wang, you find that Old Gu, I will find the relationship in the city, the problem should not be big."

Wang Dajun smiled: "Zhou Zong still has a way. Beiping Film Academy is a city-affiliated university, and it is useful to manage them with counterpart units."

"The Yang Mi of Rongxinda is a match for Liu Yifei. Now we let Liu Yifei be a match for Nara. This move is high!"

On the afternoon of the 24th, Boss Lu at the North American film set received a call from Sun Wenwen.

"Boss..."

"Hmm?"

Lu Kuan was a bit surprised. Sun Wenwen had followed him for two or three years, and her work and speech were always clean and neat. This was a difficult thing.

"What's wrong?"

"That... the matter of Miss Yifei recording the song..."

Lu Kuan had long been a hands-off shopkeeper, where did he remember this little thing.

Long Danni beside Sun Wenwen poked her head to inquire, and when she heard it, she put her hands together and signaled to this boss's direct secretary repeatedly.

The latter had no choice but to continue to summon the courage to explain: "The sponsorship activities of Mengniu and 'Super Girl' need to record a live recording and ringtone."

"Then record it? If you have something, find Yang Siwei."

Sun Wenwen deliberated: "It should have been recorded three days ago, but Miss Liu has been saying that she is not feeling well, and also said..."

Boss Lu was even more confused: "Said what?"

"Said that if you have any questions, let you call her directly."

Sun Wenwen felt a thud in her heart after speaking. The boss wouldn't be incompetent and furious and spray herself, right?

"Got it."

Beep beep beep beep beep...

"How is it, how is it?"

Long Danni looked at her with hope.

"Got it."

"And then?"

"Gone."

Sun Wenwen was a bit scared: "Sister Long, don't find me for this kind of thing next time!"

"The boss looks easy-going, but he is so fierce when he scolds people!"

Long Danni flattered and poured a cup of hot tea for this "General Manager": "Got it, got it. This time it's my sister who owes you, thank you."

"By the way, Wenwen, lend me your car to go out, my car has a little problem."

Sun Wenwen didn't lift her head and started handling official business, pushing the car key in front of her.

The former variety show director in the system went out leisurely, ordered her assistant to take the key, and sent the gift to Director Sun's car.

Boss Lu didn't take it seriously and continued today's shooting schedule.

Beiping Film Academy Performance and Directing Building.

Wang Jingsong smiled and held the cup and walked to the office, followed by the depressed Liu Yifei.

"Eh, Teacher Su, going to class?"

"Yifei, this is Teacher Su from the Literature Department, call someone."

Little Liu quickly changed into a clever face: "Hello Teacher Su!"

Su Qian helplessly looked at Old Wang, who had an obvious intention to show off, and shook hands with Liu Yifei.

"Yifei, the performance in 'Otherworld' is great, keep working hard."

"Hmm hmm!"

Wang Jingsong continued to take his proud disciple to "tour the streets," which was no different from the fishing man with big goods in later generations.

"Teacher Zhang, no shift change today? I'll take Little Liu to Director Chen's office to report on work."

"Eh, Old Li, going to tutor students to pull films? I tell you, my student Liu Yifei's 'Otherworld' is not bad recently, hehe."

Little Liu couldn't laugh or cry behind him, awkwardly surrounded like a giant panda, only feeling that the corridor of the Performance and Directing Building today was particularly long.

She took out her mobile phone and looked at it again and again, but the dog man still didn't have a message or a phone call.

What does it mean?

Is he not in a hurry at all?

Or is he angry with me...

"Yifei, Yifei?"

Wang Jingsong called his proud disciple twice with a smile before she came back to her senses.

"The school is the 55th anniversary of the school next year, and it is also the centenary of Chinese cinema. There may be a self-made drama on the horse."

"With your popularity now, among the age-appropriate actors who graduated from our Beiping Film Academy, I guess the protagonist is just you and Zhao Yanzi. Be smart when you go to Dean Chen's office later."

For the first time, she gave Lu Kuan a kick, and Little Liu now has a sense of gain and loss, and responded absent-mindedly. The two walked into Chen Yi's office.

"That's right, I didn't expect you to recognize me at a glance. Hello, John."

"Because I was in Cannes at the time and also watched your premiere. Even for someone who doesn't understand movies, appreciating your design of light and shadow is a kind of enjoyment."

Lauren on the side had a very ugly face. She didn't expect this Eastern director to get Galliano's favor.

Boss Lu certainly didn't forget her, turned his head and smiled: "Ms. Lauren's professional ability needs to be improved. It doesn't seem to be very suitable for working in a magazine of the level of 'Vogue'."

"This is from Katsushika Hokusai's 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa'."

Wintour is a ruthless dictator. She is very dissatisfied with the lack of artistic accomplishment of her subordinates, and even more dissatisfied is that she is full of contempt for Galliano's works.

Such an ignorant and incompetent person does not deserve to be in her team.

She didn't even bother to say a word of nonsense to Lauren, who had a dead-gray face, and directly picked up the landline: "Lauren is fired. Handle the procedures for her and let her leave within an hour."

Bingbing was very envious on the side. When can she have such power?

She watched Lauren speechless and pale, and then left the door in a dejected manner, and looked admiringly at the man beside her who was calm and extraordinary.

What else can stump him?

This time it was really Lauren's bad luck. This pair of Katsushika Hokusai's "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" is a representative of Ukiyo-e in the Japanese Edo period, and it is also the favorite of director Akira Kurosawa.

Changing to some European painters' works, except for those Impressionists who have inspiration for the director's art, Lu Kuan really may not recognize them.

Wintour looked at him differently. She believed that this Eastern director's artistic accomplishment and aesthetic appreciation ability were qualified to talk to her.

"Lu, Galliano is very interested in your design inspiration. Maybe you will have more common topics."

Boss Lu turned to this fashion master coveted by countless actresses with a smile, outputting his own bluffing concepts as always, frequently bringing in private goods of Eastern philosophy, and the two of them didn't understand why they were so powerful.

It is not accidental that Galliano is interested in this Chinese-style dress.

In 1997, Galliano exhibited two cheongsams with Chinese elements at his Dior show.

One of them was taken by Tom Cruise's ex-wife Nicole Kidman, who wore it to attend the Oscar awards ceremony that year.

This is also the first time cheongsam has appeared in the center of the Hollywood stage.

Besides that, this guy also went to the Shaolin Temple for a month of advanced studies. He talked with different monks, wanting to explore the proposition of the balance between man and nature in Chinese philosophy.

Boss Lu is a layman in clothing design, but he is an expert in Chinese philosophy and aesthetic appreciation. He bluffed and bluffed and directly stated his intention.

"This is the heroine of my company's movie. I want to ask Alexander to design clothes for her."

"In addition, if possible, I want to borrow a few dresses from John for her. She is your loyal fan."

Boss Lu gave Bingbing a wink, and the latter had long been prepared, skillfully socializing with the two.

Galliano's eyes lingered on her without scruples. It is indeed a clothes hanger. Many lines that are bold and atmospheric are very suitable for her.

Boss Lu knew he was a gay, so he stood on the side with his arms crossed with peace of mind.

The bridge was built. Later, let's see Bingbing's own efforts. Being able to have such a level of foreign aid in the domestic entertainment industry, on this broad road of fashion route, it is already "who else but me."

"No problem, but I also have a condition."

Galliano touched his small mustache, his eyes glowing green looking at Lu Kuan.

Damn it, this old glass.

"Can you talk to me about the creativity of the bamboo rhyme series again? Maybe I will be better than that young designer in your mainland, and can turn your creativity into art."

Bring the pen!

Borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, being generous at the expense of others, this is what Boss Lu is best at.

He immediately copied all the other designs he had an impression of in the bamboo series of Armani's 2015 spring and autumn high-end customization of later generations to him.

Wintour and Galliano watched one after another with hunger and thirst.

Great good!

Lauren, who had been swept out of the house, was not in such a good mood. Standing at the busy intersection of New York Times Square, she felt the huge malice of this world.

Lauren clenched her fists bitterly, and her sharp nails sank into her palms.

Recalling the mental torture she suffered under Wintour in the few months of her internship, she secretly vowed to write a novel to expose her cold dictator face!

Boss Lu's butterfly wings flapped, and "The Devil Wears Prada" was born ahead of "The Devil Wears Prada."

In the evening, next to New York Central Park, Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

Today's Bingbing was particularly hardworking, and she sat until Boss Lu's hip joints were a bit sore.

During the day, the top fashion resources he helped her graft were like large doses of pure medicine, making the big actress's body tired and shaking after several times.

"Still looking? They will send the photos to the mailbox tomorrow."

In the afternoon, Galliano personally picked a few suitable high-end customizations for Bingbing, tried on and cut on the spot, and left a group photo.

Bingbing flipped through the photos taken by Alexander Wang with her mobile phone, and saw a sweet group photo intimately holding Boss Lu, and felt a dimness in her heart for no reason.

Why can I send this kind of photo out openly?

The big actress was tangled in her heart, and she didn't know what happened to her.

Since that Liu Zeyu incident, it seems like she was possessed.

An ambition that grew wildly like wild grass emerged violently. The persistence and the tenacity of not giving up until the goal is reached in her nature gradually occupied the dominant position.

She wants to prove her value, she wants to cure her heart disease!

She feels that what she lacks is just time.

Perhaps time is a kind of antidote, and it is also the poison she is taking now.

Lu Kuan next door: Shh! Keep your voices down, damn it! Don't let Little Liu hear! Otherwise, she'll make a scene with me again.

Wang Xiaolei was unconvinced: "Aren't they still using the Blog Network's channel? They still have to share the money with the Blog Network!"

Zhou Jun smiled and didn't speak. Since he became interested in Inquiry Realm and Lu Kuan, he discovered that every move Boss Lu made was related to the Blog Network.

Are the two sides a cooperative relationship that is one family, or even better than one family, or...

Could it be that it's Lu Kuan's own company?

And that fellow villager of his, Zhuang Xu, is just a front?

"Even if you deduct the share, so what?"

"Does your Huayi have this much profit from film and television business in a year?"

The remaining three people in the room were all somewhat dejected.

Big and Small Wangs: So the most profitable thing for Inquiry Realm isn't movies.

Zhang Nara: So Liu Yifei earned him so much money, no wonder...

Zhou Jun coughed softly: "I'm not saying this to discourage you, but I think you should learn from Inquiry Realm and master this approach of star-making and using internet resources and popularity for fan economy marketing."

"I just missed one point in my calculation: the merchandise for 'Otherworld' and 'Zhu Xian' is selling very well in cinemas now, and a considerable portion of the buyers are Liu Yifei's fans."

Wang Xiaolei slapped his thigh hard: "If I had known, I would have signed her no matter what!"

Wang Dajun said with dissatisfaction: "You sign her? If you signed her, could you have brought out so many works to promote her like Lu Kuan? Could you have designed such a development route and marketed it to achieve such results?"

Zhou Jun nodded: "Dajun hit the nail on the head. The most terrifying thing about Lu Kuan regarding Liu Yifei isn't discovering or mastering this person."

"It's being able to firmly believe in her value, invest resources, and reap the benefits."

"If you treat the artist Liu Yifei as a product, he first invested the greatest resources, and then obtained benefits from her from 360 degrees without dead ends."

"From film production to advertising endorsements, product traffic diversion, and fan economy development, this is the truly amazing part that makes people applaud!"

He said seriously to the two brothers: "This model is like a textbook. I think you can also find a young actress with decent age, image, and artistic talent to package and operate."

Hearing this, Zhang Nara, who was standing behind Zhou Jun, unconsciously puffed out her small chest.

She solemnly reiterated her point of view again: "No matter how much you owed him before, earning so much money for him in two years, what kind of human feelings are enough to pay back?"

"In the future, everyone is a cooperative relationship, not a subordinate relationship. You have to take your own advantages to negotiate with him!"

"Xixi, believe me, Guo Xiang has no good results."

Yang Siwei has super emotional intelligence. This sentence is the same as the "nothing" of the licking dog in later generations.

"Ding ding ding ding ding~"

Liu Yifei's phone ringtone suddenly rang. The two looked at each other, it was Lu Kuan.
