You Made Me a Superstar

   Chapter 234 Swept!

   "We are witnessing the beginning of an era. James Bond, the king of horror in Hollywood, has created an era of his own..."

   "Hollywood movie, has created a new record!"

   "The total box office of 530 million, how to break it? How to break it?"

   "No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4...all Hollywood movies..."

   "There is only one "Hero" among the top ten Chinese films at the box office..."

  “…”

   January 23rd at one o'clock in the morning.

   In the Chinese film industry, countless filmmakers did not fall asleep, but stayed on the Internet, staring closely at the movie "Jurassic".

  Some people exclaimed, some were indignant, some sighed in weakness, and some were very excited, feeling that they were witnesses of a movie era...

   "Jurassic" is drawn!

   This Hollywood blockbuster that dominates China finally officially ended with a box office of 530 million, which has become a new milestone for Chinese films and a new milestone for world films.

   China 530 million, world box office 800 million US dollars!

  The amazing data shocked the eyes of every filmmaker. Although they had predicted that "Jurassic" would definitely reach this data, when they really witnessed it, the emotions were still unstoppable and complicated.

  After being in a trance for a long time, they watched another "Spartan Warriors" that was released for a month!

   This is the successor to Jurassic.

   The tense emotions of the Chinese filmmakers loosened a little.

Although the box office of this film is ferocious, it did not show astonishing dominance like "Superman" and "Jurassic". One month after its release, the box office dropped by 5 million. From the data performance, this film probably It will reach 350 million, which is 20 million stronger than the peak of Chinese local movies "Hero", but it is no better than "Superman" and "Jurassic", two phenomenal movies.

   However, although it was relaxed, that inexplicable humiliation still haunts the hearts of many filmmakers.

   They saw the leaderboard.

   After so many years, the top ten local films in the history of Chinese films have only had one film since the first one.

   "Overlord" dropped out of the list, "Hero" entered the list...

   With one increase and one decrease, Huaxia Film seems to have fallen into a state of stagnation!

"and many more!"

   "The Box Office of "Doomsday" Wasn't as Fierce as I Thought!"

   "The premiere box office of "Doomsday" is not as high as that of "Superman"!"

   "My God, is this true?"

   "Really, the Chinese premiere of "Doomsday" only had 15 million yuan at the box office, which is 2 million less than "Superman"!"

   "Grass, isn't it still fierce!"

"No! "Doomsday" is far below my expectations. I originally expected this movie to be on the same level as "Jurassic". This movie's box office in Hollywood is not much worse than "Jurassic"! Eleven million dollars! Jurassic, if I remember correctly, twelve million dollars!"

"Yes!"

   "However, the Chinese box office of "Jurassic" is 23 million US dollars, and "Doomsday" is only 15 million yuan!!"

   "My grass, the Chinese version of "The Chainsaw", the special box office has 12 million!"

   "This movie is so powerful?"

"Yes!"

  “…”

   January 23rd.

   This is destined to be a sleepless day for the Chinese film industry!

   "Doomsday" made many filmmakers unbelievable at the box office, and there was a huge sense of gap...

   They once predicted that the box office of the movie "Doomsday" would exceed 20 million at least, and even be infinitely close to "Jurassic". After all, the pre-sale tickets for "Doomsday" are terrifying!

   However, when the box office actually came out, they were dumbfounded!

  15 million RMB!

   The box office of this Hollywood blockbuster "Doomsday", which was once highly expected by all filmmakers in China, was only 15 million RMB!

   While they were in disbelief, they felt incredible at the same time. After seeing the box office of "The Chainsaw" in China, the unbelievable emotion was even stronger.

   They guessed a pretty crazy possibility!

   That is a box office of "Doomsday", which was shunted by "Chainsaw".

   The two films have similar schedules, and it is doomed that many fans who watch "Chainsaw" can't watch "Doomsday"!

   Therefore, many fans of "Doomsday" seem to be weighing, and finally choose to watch "Chainsaw" first, and then "Doomsday"...

   As a result, after watching it, I forgot "Doomsday", and when I got home from the movie theater, I didn't even think about it.

  …………………………

   Early morning in January, with a hint of chill.

   Zhao Sicheng's body was shaking.

   in the data.

   shows the box office data for the movie premiering on January 22nd…

   He was stunned, unbelievable, and felt that everything was too absurd and exaggerated. Finally, after confirming that this was the reality, he suddenly felt that all the power around him seemed to be taken away.

   He bowed his head.

"how come!"

   "How is it possible, I don't believe it, how is it possible!"

"This……"

   "Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible!"

  “…”

  In the office, Zhao Sicheng muttered to himself, he finally sat down on the ground and looked at the dimly lit street in the distance.

   He felt an unprecedented sense of frustration.

   He thought "The Chainsaw" was on the street!

After all, under the pressure of a blockbuster like "Doomsday", it's no wonder that "Chainsaw" was not crushed into scum. Not only did he think so, but even everyone in the Huaxia Directors Guild thought so, even if they knew The pre-sale results of "Chainsaw" are very good, and some people still feel that it doesn't matter...

However……

  The reality is extremely cruel, and he slapped him in the face severely, pumping him very painfully, and the despair was like a tidal wave, filling his whole body.

   At the same time, a strong feeling of unwillingness and jealousy hit his heart again, and in an instant, he began to become a little lost.

   This mixed emotion continued until four o'clock in the morning.

   At four in the morning, his cell phone rang.

   "Tom!"

  "..." The call was from Tom from Fox, but after the call was connected, the other party was silent.

   "Tom? Is there a sound? Can you hear the sound?" Zhao Sicheng was suddenly disturbed, and subconsciously asked a few more questions.

   "Mr. Zhao..." Tom spoke again, but the emotion in his voice was extremely low, and this low voice made Zhao Sicheng even more uneasy.

"I'm afraid the bet can't be completed. You should listen to Mr. Gipps and postpone "Fatal Crisis" until February!" Tom's deep voice became very disappointed when he said this, Zhao Sicheng was able to hear it across the phone Feel the other person's frustration.

   "What's wrong? Tom." Zhao Sicheng felt that his throat was very dry. He tried to keep calm, but his voice was still trembling.

"The release of "Doomsday" further squeezed the film schedule of "Fatal Crisis", resulting in today's box office of only one million US dollars. The theater's attitude towards "Fatal Crisis" has been on the verge of drawing down at any time. If the box office can be successful, there may be a little chance of a $100 million box office, but now... there is no hope!"

   "How much! What about the total overseas box office? There is still hope!"

   "The total box office of 23 countries in the world is 90 million US dollars, and there is still 10 million ..."

   "This..." Zhao Sicheng heard the words like being struck by lightning!

   He swallowed, unable to remain calm any longer...

   His face was pale, and the hand holding the phone was shaking. He once promised that if "Fatal Crisis" did not reach the box office of 100 million, there would be no box office share!

"Why does it have to be January! Mr. Gipps is in a rage right now, you know? We've wasted the hit movie "The Chainsaw" for you. It has already broken through 100 million dollars in advance! Mr. Gipps is now regarded as a joke by the top management of Warners!" Tom's voice became very excited, and finally he couldn't help it, and began to accuse with anger.

   "..." Zhao Sicheng's pale face turned pale, as if a large stone was pressing against his chest, his heart was so painful that he would faint at any time.

   gasp...

   He could only keep breathing.

   "Mr. Tom, do I still have a chance? Please, give me another chance, let me pay anything I can!"

"what chance?"

"Don't make me look too ugly in Hollywood, please, can you please help me with the PR, I can lose Huaxia, but I can't lose our Hollywood... I have a lot of scripts, I have talent, I can be a director, I can be an assistant director, I can even be an assistant... I can give you money, all my money can be given to you, I need a chance..." In the office, he was very excited, as if someone had been hit , was wagging its tail in front of Tom like an old dog with a broken spine.

   "Let's do it for now, I can help if I can, but your story has spread in Fox, and you want to go back to the company..."

   "Is there any other way?"

   "Well, I'll help you talk to the higher-ups, but you are a Huaxia director, and we Hollywood don't have much confidence in Huaxia directors... I may not be able to..."

   "I can..." Zhao Sicheng breathed heavily, and finally bit and insisted, as if he had caught some life-saving straw, and uttered these words abruptly.

   "Can what?"

   "I can change my nationality. I have always longed for the United States. My assets should be sufficient for immigration, right?"

"Mr. Zhao, sometimes I really think you're cheap, and you keep suppressing your own directors overseas... Do you really have no sense of shame! Is it just you, or all the directors of your older generation in China are like this? What does it look like?" Tom was silent for a long time, and finally said this, his voice full of contempt.

"Art has no nationality, where can nourish art, and people who truly love art will naturally go there. Huaxia cannot nourish the art in my heart, it is too backward, only Hollywood can... I believe that many Huaxia directors follow me The same idea, they just suffer from no chance..." Facing Tom's voice, Zhao Sicheng did not answer directly, but said this sentence!

   "Compared to you, I admire Mr. Zhou Yang more. I think his neither humble nor arrogant appearance is very respectable!" Tom sighed.

   "I will prove that I am more valuable than him. He is a clown who is grandstanding and lucky! But I believe that my strength will one day-"

   "Okay, let me try!" Tom was too lazy to listen to his long talk, so he interrupted and hung up the phone!

  ……………………

   "Break 100 million US dollars, "Chainsaw" broke 100 million at the global box office!"

   "Oh my God!"

   "I mean, "The Chainsaw" is a film within a film, putting together those montages of cuts, it seems to be yet another amazing movie!"

"what?"

   "Professionals are piecing it together, it should be done soon!"

  January 23rd morning!

   All the filmmakers in the Huaxia film circle were shocked by the Chinese box office of "The Chainsaw", but suddenly they saw an even more shocking news!

The flashing montage version of the Chinese version of "Chainsaw" seems to be a shooting shot, and these shots are pieced together with the Chinese and European and American versions of "Chainsaw", plus a series of footage leaked on the Internet. And resources, it seems to be another movie with a completely different plot...
