The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 1563: Mr. 500 million
"Hey, Mr. Five Million Dollars, congratulations, you are about to become the father of two children." The hearty and pungent voice echoed over the empty farm.
Lan Li turned around and saw two little guys standing not far behind him, then Jessica lying on the window, and finally the bustling figures in the room. It seemed that the entire crew had temporarily put down their hands. What is busy, people flock to the door and window to watch the excitement, as if dinosaurs have appeared.
Lan Li couldn't help showing a slight surprise because the whole room looked so peaceful just now, and there was no one at all. Suddenly it became lively. He reacted for a moment before he burst into laughter." Mr. 500 million dollars, isn't this the slogan of the sperm donation bank?"
Donation bank.
Everyone was stunned involuntarily, and then burst into laughter collectively.
The so-called Mr. 500 Million Dollars, this is the nickname given to Lan Li by the media in recent times, just like that movie, "Million Dollar Baby".
Although when I entered the crew, the North American box office of "Gravity" has not exceeded 500 million, or even some distance, but all experts have predicted that 500 million is a high probability event, and it can even be said to be a certain thing. This also means that, following "Edge of Tomorrow", Lanly is about to usher in the second consecutive North American work of over 500 million yuan.
And, not a sequel!
This is definitely the first time in history that it has once again refreshed people's perception of North American box office appeal.
Starting from questioning Renly’s market influence, to establishing his absolute strength in two consecutive 500 million works, Renly is now an insurmountable benchmark. Even Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp can only stand by the wind. , The momentum during the peak period is far worse.
There has never been an actor who can show such dominance in the North American market, which is reminiscent of Harrison Ford.
Harrison, who relied on "Indiana Jones" and "Star Wars" to dominate the market successively, although the box office number in North America did not exceed 500 million consecutively, its unparalleled influence was comparable to today's Lanli, which made a sensation in the entire market and changed After that, Harrison started his 30-year superstar career.
Now Lan Li's momentum may be worse than ever.
It is worth mentioning that Harrison and Renly's agents are both Andy Rogers, which is also particularly eye-catching. But the difference is that Harrison finally came into the hands of Andy after passing through several agents. He has several agents in the creative artist agency to take care of things; and Lan Li is the one who pushed to the top. , The meaning is naturally different.
Despite this, the major media can’t wait to say, “Renley Hall succeeds Harrison Ford in 30 years. Does this mean that the North American film market is about to enter a new era?”
The significance of the rise of Lanly is not only as simple as "500 million box office", but also in the sequel series of comics and novel adaptations that firmly occupy the protagonist of the market. The living space of other movies is getting smaller and smaller, and now people have finally seen it. Different possibilities, this has enlightenment for the entire market. It's like Harrison's turnout.
From "Jaws" to "Star Wars", the concept of summer archives appeared in North America, and at the same time the embryonic form of commercial movies was formed.
Films before this have always been an elegant pastime, with expensive ticket prices, scarce theaters and a moderate amount of works. Although Hollywood movie studios are very competitive, the output is still not high after all, and audiences walk into the theaters. It has also become a high-level pastime once a week. The market mechanism of the entire industry has not yet fully matured.
Then Harrison Ford appeared!
"Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" formed a relatively fixed creative model, so the commercial film model gradually evolved into a reality. It is no exaggeration to say that his work has laid the foundation for today’s film market-for industry insiders, it is the credit of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas; but for the general public, This is Harrison Ford's feat.
Now, the commercial film market is fully mature and has entered a bottleneck period. Adapted films and series of films occupy the big screen, and the sense of innovation is gradually degrading. The pipeline works are becoming more and more templated, and the importance of copyright is rising. If there is no copyright, then It seems that the first opportunity has been lost. Warner Bros., Disney and Sony Columbia have taken the lead, while Twentieth Century Fox, Universal and Paramount have gradually been left behind.
Then Lan Li appeared.
So, what enlightenment can the blue gift model bring to the current film market? This is something that the entire industry needs to study slowly.
Harrison and Lanly, one to create a break, are of extraordinary historical significance. The response of the entire market was naturally extraordinary.
Why doesn't Universal Pictures dare to rip apart with Lan Li easily? This is the reason!
Before the release of "Gravity", Universal Pictures missed the best opportunity to negotiate, one step and one wrong step, and it fell into a vicious circle, just like the opportunity on Wall Street. If you miss a point in time, you must Spend more energy to make up for their mistakes, and now they are also in an awkward position, and Ron Meyer is helpless.
Mr. 500 million US dollars, this is a joking call for Lanly by the media, but it is also a respectful call. In addition to James Cameron, who in the entire North American market can have such a appeal? This makes it possible to clearly feel the powerful influence of Lanli alone.
Jessica made fun of it deliberately, but who could have imagined that Lan Li had interpreted it in such a mischievous and weird way.
The other staff on the scene reacted immediately, bursting into laughter and laughing.
McKenzie, standing at the forefront, does not understand. So, does 500 million have anything to do with the bank? She didn't understand the situation at all.
Timothy was ignorant, vaguely able to understand, but the reaction speed was a little slower, and a big smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
McKenzie raised her head and looked around, only to find that she was "abandoned" alone. After blinking her eyes, she decided to take the initiative. "Jessica means, congratulations, your box office is about to exceed 500 million! Everyone is marveling at this now! This is incredible."
Xiao Nizi answered in her own way, worried that Lan Li did not understand Jessica's meaning. The crisp words, with a wave of vigor and anger that grew wantonly, made people involuntarily brighten up, just like a sunflower that is accompanied by a shadow facing the sun, filled with the refreshing breath of the sun.
No wonder old people always like to get along with children. That kind of vitality is the sunshine that grows against the years, dispelling fear and haze, as well as sickness and death. They can’t help but want to get closer, get closer, and feel those again. The lost youth seems to be able to return to those good times again.
Even Lan Li can feel the same way.
Lan Li smiled brightly at McKenzie, "Thank you! It's my honor." There was no excuse, as if he really didn't understand Jessica's words.
Facing Lan Li’s smile, McKenzie’s cheeks couldn’t help but become slightly hot, then bit his lower lip and shook his head shyly. His voice suddenly fell like a mosquito whispering, and he said something vaguely. But he couldn't hear clearly, and the corners of his mouth rose greatly without holding back.
Lan Li didn't pursue it either, and politely extended his right hand, "Hey, when we first met, this is Lan Li."
"I know I know I know!" McKenzie got excited immediately, breaking his fingers and said, "I have watched all your movies!'Love is crazy'!'Anti-cancer me'!'Extraordinary'!'Speed And passion'!'Edge of Tomorrow'! And, there's also'Buried alive'!" Xiao Nizi really counted them one by one.
The smile under Lan Li's eyes rolled slightly, "This is not so good." McKenzie was slightly stunned, but he didn't know why, tilted his head and looked at Lan Li intently, and then heard the follow-up explanation, "My Many works are R grade. Does this mean that you secretly did bad things without telling the adults?"
This……
This brain circuit doesn't seem right, right?
"Oh." McKenzie wailed immediately, and covered his cheek in depression, unable to raise his head in shame-why is Lan Li's focus different from what he imagined?
Lan Li couldn't help but laugh, and then said, "You haven't introduced yourself yet. If you tell me your name now, then I will keep this secret."
McKenzie immediately put his hands down, his big eyes filled with joy and excitement~lightnovelpub.net~ looked at Lan Li in disbelief, weighed the truth a little, and then couldn’t wait to speak, but because of I was too excited and choked with my own saliva, "Ahem...Mai...McKenzie! My name is MacKenzie!"
"It's nice to meet you, McKenzie!" Lan Li stretched out his right hand again-just now Xiao Nizi was completely immersed in her own world and did not even notice Lan Li's shaking hands. He did it again formally. There was a gesture of greeting.
This time, McKenzie did not miss it.
Xiao Nizi straightened her waist, quickly reached out and held Lan Li's right hand, shook it once, and nodded vigorously! Then hold it again! There was a strange smile on his face. When he was about to let go, he shook it for a third time. Like a little adult, he nodded solemnly and showed a meaningful and polite expression, as if he was imitating himself. 'S parents or scenes I have seen:
"Nice to meet you! Very, very happy to meet you! Mr. Hall! It is really an honor for me to meet you!"
McKenzie said coarsely and deliberately, as if this would make his actions and voice more formal. The vivid look of the little adult really made people laugh, and the smile came to the corner of his mouth naturally, and the mood was the same. In the afternoon the sun generally flew up.
