You made me a superstar

Chapter 234 Sweeping!

"We have witnessed the beginning of an era. The king of Hollywood horror, James Bond, has created another era of his own..."

"Hollywood movies have set a new record!"

"The total box office of 3000 million and [-] million, how to break it? With what?"

"No. [-], No. [-], No. [-], No. [-]...all Hollywood movies..."

"The top ten Chinese movies at the box office, only one "Hero"..."

"..."

One o'clock in the morning on January 23.

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

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

"Jurassic" is under drawing!

This Hollywood blockbuster that dominates China has finally officially ended with a box office of 3000 million. It has become a new milestone for Chinese movies, and at the same time, it is also a new milestone for world movies.

China's 3000 million, the world's box office is [-] million US dollars!

The astonishing data shocked the eyes of every filmmaker. Although they had predicted that "Jurassic" would definitely reach this data, when they actually witnessed it, their emotions were still overwhelmingly complicated.

After being in a trance for a long time, they watched another "Spartan Warrior" that was released for a month!
This is the successor to Jurassic.

The tense emotions of the Huaxia filmmakers relaxed a little.

Although the box office of this movie is fierce, it does not show the astonishing dominance of "Superman" and "Jurassic". To 500 million, which is 5000 million stronger than the peak of "Hero" in China's local movies, but not as good as the two phenomenal movies "Superman" and "Jurassic".

However, although he was slack, the feeling of inexplicable humiliation lingered in the hearts of many filmmakers.

They saw the leaderboard.

After so many years, there is still only one movie among the top ten local movies in the box office of Chinese movie history from the first one.

"Overlord" fell out of the ranks, and "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 "The End of the World" is not as fierce as expected!"

"The premiere box office of "The End of the World" is not as high as that of "Superman"!"

"Oh my god, is this true?"

"Really, the box office of the Chinese premiere of "The End of the World" is only 500 million yuan, which is 200 million less than that of "Superman"!"

"Grass, isn't it still fierce!"

"No! "The End of the World" is far below my expectations. I expected this movie to be at the same level as "Jurassic". The box office of this movie in Hollywood is not much worse than "Jurassic"! It’s a total of 100 million US dollars! "Jurassic", if I remember correctly, is 1000 or [-] million US dollars!"

"Yes!"

"However, the Chinese box office of "Jurassic" is a full 300 million US dollars, and "The End of the World" is only 500 million yuan!!"

"Fuck me, the Chinese version of "Saw" has a box office of 1000 to [-] million!"

"This movie is actually so powerful?"

"Yes!"

"..."

January 23.

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

The box office of "The End of the World" has made many filmmakers unbelievable, and there is a huge sense of gap...

They once predicted that the box office of the movie "Doomsday" would break through at least 2000 million, even 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!
500 million RMB!
The box office of this Hollywood blockbuster "The End of the World", which was once highly expected by all filmmakers in China, was only 500 million RMB!
While they couldn't believe it, they felt incredible at the same time. After seeing the box office of "Chain Saw" in China, that incredible emotion became even stronger.

They guessed a pretty crazy possibility!
That is the box office of "Doomsday", which was diverted by "Chain Saw".

The schedule of the two films is similar, and it is doomed that many fans who watch "Saw" cannot watch "The End of the World"!
Therefore, many fans of "The End of the World" seem to be under balance, and finally choose to watch "Chain Saw" first, and then watch "The End of the World"...

As a result, after watching it, I put "The End of the World" behind me, and I didn't even think about it when I got home from the movie theater.

..............................

In the early morning of January, there was a hint of chill.

Zhao Sicheng's body was shaking.

in the data.

Showing the box office data of the movie premiered on January 22...

He was astonished, unbelievable, and felt that everything was too absurd and exaggerated. After finally confirming that this was reality, he suddenly felt as if all the power around him had been emptied.

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, and he finally sat down on the ground, looking at the dimly lit street in the distance.

He felt an unprecedented sense of frustration.

He originally thought that "Chain Saw" hit the street!

After all, under the pressure of blockbusters like "The End of the World", it's no wonder that "Chain Saw" is not crushed into dregs. Not only does he think so, even everyone in the Huaxia Directors' Union thinks so, even if they know The pre-sale tickets of "Chain Saw" are very good, but some people still think it doesn't matter...

however……

The reality was extremely cruel, and it slapped him hard on the face, causing him great pain. Desperation surged like a tide, pervading 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 feel a little lost again.

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

At four o'clock in the morning, his cell phone rang.

"Tom!"

"..." The call was made by Tom from Fox Company, but after answering the call, the other party remained silent.

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

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

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

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

"The release of "The End of the World" has further squeezed the schedule of "Fatal Crisis", resulting in today's box office of only 100 million US dollars. The attitude of the theaters towards "Fatal Crisis" is on the verge of being drawn down at any time. Originally, if China's box office If it can achieve results, there may still be a little chance of a box office of [-] million US dollars, but now... there is no hope!"

"How much! And the sum of overseas box office? There is still hope!"

"The total box office of 23 countries in the world is 9000 million US dollars, and there is still a difference of 1000 million..."

"This..." Zhao Sicheng was struck by lightning when he heard the words!

He swallowed his saliva, unable to keep calm anymore...

His face was pale, and the hand holding the phone was trembling. He once promised that if "Deadly Crisis" did not reach [-] million box office, there would be no box office share!
"Why does it have to be in January! Mr. Gipps is throwing a tantrum right now, you know? We wasted the blockbuster movie "Saw" for you, the movie's total global box office, right now, he It has already exceeded [-] million US dollars ahead of schedule! Mr. Gipps is now being treated as a joke by the Warner executives!" Tom's voice became very excited, and finally couldn't help it, and began to accuse him angrily.

"..." Zhao Sicheng's pale face turned pale, as if a big stone was pressing on his chest, his heart was in great pain, and he was so uncomfortable that he would faint at any time.

respite……

He could only breathe continuously.

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

"what chance?"

"Don't make me look too ugly in Hollywood, please, can I ask the publicist to clean it up for me, I can lose Huaxia, but I can't lose our Hollywood... I have a lot of scripts, I have talent, I can not be a director, I can be an assistant director, I can even be an assistant... I can give you money, I can give you all my money, I need a chance..." In the office, he was very excited, as if someone had hit him with a stick , Wagging his tail and begging for mercy in front of Tom like an old dog with a broken spine.

"Let's do this first, I will help if I can, but your story has spread on Fox, and you want to go back to the company..."

"Is there anything else I can do?"

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

"I can..." Zhao Sicheng panted heavily, and finally insisted, as if he had grasped some life-saving straw, he said this sentence suddenly.

"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 are cheap, and you keep suppressing directors in your own country overseas... Do you really have no shame at all! Is it just you, or are you all the directors of the older generation in Huaxia? What does it look like?" Tom was silent for a long time, and finally said this sentence, his voice was full of contempt.

"Art has no distinction of nationality. Where art can be nourished, people who truly love art will naturally go there. China cannot nourish the art in my heart. It is too backward. Only Hollywood can... I believe that many Chinese directors are like 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 appearance of being neither humble nor overbearing is very respectable!" Tom sighed.

"I will prove that I am more valuable than him. He is a sensationalist, a clown who got popular by chance! But I believe that my strength will one day—"

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

"Crossing [-] million US dollars, "Chain Saw" has broken [-] million at the global box office!"

"My God!"

"I'm sorry, the movie "Chain Saw" is a movie within a movie. Putting together those montages, it seems to be another amazing movie!"

"what?"

"Professionals are putting it together, and it should be done soon!"

The morning of January 23rd!
While all the filmmakers in the Chinese film circle were shocked by the box office of "Chain Saw" in China, they suddenly saw an even more shocking piece of news!
The flashing montage shots of the Chinese version of "Chain Saw" seem to be shooting shots, and these shots are put together with the Chinese and European versions of "Chain Saw", plus a series of clips leaked on the Internet and resources, seems to be another movie with a completely different plot...
