Millennium director

Except for "Elysium", there were no other blockbusters with a production cost of over 100 million in the third week of August, and there were no low-cost dark horse movies at the box office.

As for the fourth week of August, there is only one movie, Twentieth Century Fox's "Percy Jackson and the Sea of ​​Monsters" and Universal's "Two Guns," and these two movies are even more unavailable.

The remaining movies such as "You're Next", "Closed Circuit", and "Wishlist" are either R-rated horror films or R-rated low-brow comedies, and they really can't make it onto the stage.

Throughout August, it can be said that there was not a single hit movie.

There is no doubt that such a schedule is very suitable for "The Martian" to work hard.

Even in September, the only one that can have a big impact on "The Martian" is "Star Wars 2", which was released on September 20.

By the time "Star Wars 2" is released, "The Martian" has been released for almost a month and a half. Even if it has an impact, it doesn't matter. You can't really expect that there will be no other blockbusters competing for the entire release period, right?

This is unrealistic.

Being able to have no competitors for nearly a month and a half made Wu Yuan very satisfied.

Of course, this is from Wu Yuan's perspective.

From Disney's perspective, they don't think it's a good thing to have "The Martian" and "Elysium" released on the same day.

These two movies are both science fiction blockbusters, and they were released on the same day. Wouldn't this mean that there would be a bloody fight?

Neill Blomkamp, ​​who made "District 9", is also a well-known science fiction director in Hollywood and is known as a genius science fiction director.

Because "District 9" is Neill Blomkamp's first official feature-length film.

Before "District 9", Neill Blomkamp had only made a few short films, one of which was called "Aliens in Johannesburg", the predecessor of "District 9".

And Neill Blomkamp is only 34 years old this year, only three years older than Wu Yuan. It is absolutely correct to say that he is a talented director.

After all, except for Wu Yuan, a weirdo who became globally famous in his twenties, there are very few directors who can direct movies with a box office of over 100 million US dollars in their 30s.

From Disney's point of view, it is definitely not a good thing for Wu Yuan and Neill Blomkamp to fight.

But the arm cannot twist the thigh.

Wu Yuan is the main investor in "The Martian". Disney is only responsible for distribution. Wu Yuan has the greatest decision-making power when it is released.

Disney can only express regret for this.

Anyway, if the box office fails to meet expectations and most of the box office is taken away by "Elysium", then it will be the light era during Wu Yuan's period. Disney, which is only responsible for distribution work, is firmly on the Diaoyutai.

However, Disney still urged Wu Yuan to go to the United States as soon as possible.

Not only is "The Martian" approaching its release date, but there is also a lot of finishing work at Light Times, including delivery contracts that need to be signed by Wu Yuan himself, etc., all waiting for him to handle.

Even the money in the company account is waiting for him to transfer it.

This time Disney, or rather the Hollywood investment group, was indeed willing to drive this yellow-skinned foreigner out of Hollywood.

Light Times already has US$7.8 billion in liquidity on its books, plus more than US$700 million in final payments and sub-accounts for all movies that have ended or are currently being released in the past year or two, which adds up to nearly 1.5 billion US dollars.

Coupled with the 1 billion "shell" price given by Disney, Hollywood actually allowed Wu Yuan to take as much as 2.5 billion US dollars in cash from the United States and transfer it back to China.

This is not at all in line with his usual domineering behavior!

In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is understandable.

After all, they have always hoped to use the simplest and crudest way, that is, to spend money to solve this problem.

Just like how I later dealt with the overseas version of a certain music video, I wanted to directly force the acquisition.

As long as you are willing to accept this method of treatment, they will immediately become very generous. After all, World Lighthouse does not have much else but money.

Of course, it is also because Wu Yuan is standing behind a motherland that is strong enough and able to support him.

If they are from Africa or a third world country, do you think Hollywood and Wall Street can have such a good reputation and choose to use a large sum of money to send you out of the country as gifts?

Don’t even think about it!

They will just kick you out of the game, and you still have to thank them!

Therefore, Wu Yuan knew very well that he was able to cash out and leave the market decently despite the rejection and hostility of the Hollywood Yutai consortium, all because he had a strong motherland.

This also allowed him to leave without any regrets.

Although Liangyuan is nice, it is not a home of long-term love.

So Wu Yuan had no intention of procrastinating. After finishing the post-production of "Dear", he left all the follow-up work of digital keys for the film to the company, patted his butt and boarded the plane to the United States. flights.

When he goes to the United States this time, he not only has to stay until the release promotion of "The Martian" is over, but he also has to completely hand over the light era to Disney.

From then on, Wu Yuan's identity in Hollywood was only that of an actor, and he was no longer the independent film company boss he used to be.

Of course, as a director, he is still very popular in Hollywood, or even more popular. After all, he is so "cooperative" and Hollywood Capital is very satisfied.

They also did not want to have a bad relationship with Wu Yuan, a director with top influence around the world. They even immediately sent a large number of movie scripts in the hope of continuing to cooperate with him.

Obviously, Wu Yuan rejected them all.

In the future, he only plans to make 1-2 more Hollywood movies and will no longer be involved in Hollywood.

The glorious era of Hollywood is about to pass, and the superhero era is the last glory of Hollywood. Wu Yuan has no interest in the zzzq era after the superhero era of Hollywood.

Even though his skin color may have great advantages and benefits in this era, he feels disgusted from the bottom of his heart by this kind of political influence on movies.

at the same time.

Just when Wu Yuan boarded the plane to fly to the United States.

Domestically, "Get Out, Mr. Tumor!" "The movie has also entered the pre-heating promotion stage.

The film is scheduled to be released on June 18th, and it is already early May. Some variety shows that need to be recorded in advance can already be recorded and promoted in conjunction with the release date.

Liu Yifei, who had been picking her feet at home for more than half a year, had to start working.

It was also at this time that Liu Yifei, who had been lying flat for half a year, discovered that she had gained almost ten pounds without knowing it!

Perhaps because she met Wu Yuan every day, Wu Yuan didn't realize this at all. It was only when her agent came to pick her up to start promoting her new job that she became aware of this problem.

Even if Liu Yifei is a fairy sister, the impact of being ten pounds on her appearance is visible to the naked eye.

So, in this "Get Out!" One and a half months before the release of "Tumor King", Liu Yifei received the most difficult task - to lose weight!

Brave Sissi, not afraid of losing weight! (End of chapter)
