"What's wrong?" Lin Juan raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Universal's "Mutant-Dr. Lizard" is also starting to land globally at the same time as ours, but we rejected this movie in the mainland..."
Lin Juan couldn't help showing a muffled smile, wanting to praise a job well done.
Huaying can't refuse all Hollywood blockbusters, but it's quite awesome to come at this critical time.
"This "Mutant" clearly wants to copy the alliance model, even the villain is a spider mutant, how could it be allowed in, but this time Universal has great ambitions, and they also have experience in making alliances, I am worried The quality of this movie is pretty good." Li Lan was a little worried.
Lin Juan also knew about this, and he was speechless when the trailer came out half a month ago.
Spider-Man is registered with the International Copyright Association, so there is no need to worry about being pirated, and this Dr. Lizard...
"Aunt Lan, actually, I have to tell you that the concept of Dr. Lizard is that during a previous call, I casually told Jimmy that Spider-Man's villain camp had considered Dr. Lizard, Electro Man and the like, and they probably took it. Adapted into a script, let's hit Spider-Man by the way." Lin Juan said in a particularly speechless manner.
"Then did you say what Dr. Lizard's ability is?"
"It seems like I said a few words casually? Regeneration, strength or something." Lin Juan said with a frown.
Li Lan:"……"
"I'm even more worried." After a moment of silence, Li Lan said with a wry smile. After all, this was Lin Juan's idea.
"It's okay, Dr. Lizard is the plot that I gave up. I guess their plot is probably to make the concept of Dr. Lizard. A doctor with a severed hand developed a mutation potion to heal himself, and an assistant or something else People steal potions and become spiders? Or simply mutate into spider-men."
"It's okay, even if they have the quality of Spider-Man, they can't do this kind of small league, and they can't bully Mythology Universe in the future, they have to find an opponent to play with." Lin Juan said jokingly, also to comfort Li Lan.
There is really nothing Universal can do about it. After all, if someone borrows your concept, it doesn't count as actually touching the copyright. Anyone in the movie universe can do it.
But only Lin Juan knows best that it is not so easy to do a good movie universe. The more you do, the more bugs you will have. If you are not careful, you will play yourself to death.
Let them play if they want, and Lin Juan will use the alliance to play with them.
"Okay, okay, I'm relieved when you say that. I still have something to do here, so I won't talk about it for now. Happy New Year, Xiaojuan. I'll send you a red envelope later. Help me to say hello to your parents." Li Lan said with a smile.
"Well, Aunt Lan, happy new year to you too."
Lin Juan hung up the phone with a smile, sent a message to Li Qingyu for a while, and then started writing the script, until his mother called him to eat, Lin Juan agreed, stopped what he was doing, and walked out of the room and went downstairs. His younger siblings and grandma were there Watching TV and playing games in the lobby, my parents and uncles are playing cards, my mother, aunts and aunts are serving dishes from the kitchen on the first floor, and red blessing characters are pasted everywhere in the house.
In fact, there was a dining table on the first floor, but everyone felt that it was more comfortable to eat in the lobby, and there was a TV, so Lin Juan was free to do so.
"Come, come, let's eat, first respect the ancestors." Dad Zhang Luo said, today is New Year's Eve, this meal is a reunion dinner.
So everyone first took a mouthful of rice in each bowl, poured some wine into the cups, and began to burn yellow paper and paper money. They all asked Lin Juan to bow to the dining table and invite their ancestors to eat.
After the bowing is over, everyone can start eating. Of course, the previous meals, wine and the like will not be wasted.
Every Chinese New Year is the same, the elders talk about this year's business, current situation, gossip about the love and marriage of the next generation, and then play cards and drink.
The family ate happily, and most of the time the topic focused on Lin Juan. Occasionally, everyone would chat about their own business and other people's gossip. When the atmosphere was harmonious, grandma suddenly lowered her head and cried.
She misses her grandpa again.
Everyone hurriedly gave another meal of comfort. After dinner, those who should play cards played cards, and those who should watch TV watched TV. Uncle was a little envious of Lin Juan's SUV, so Lin Juan's father was the co-pilot, and he went for a ride. When handing over the keys, Lin Juan was ready to scrap the vehicle. He just told them to drive slowly and fasten their seat belts. There were no cars on the road during Chinese New Year. As for being too serious... right?
Time passed by like this, and it was almost midnight. The villa was still brightly lit, and there was even the sound of setting off firecrackers in the community. People in this remote villa area would not come to check.
And Lin Juan looked at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock, and the movie theater at this time... should be very lively.
……
"Hurry up, hurry up, you won't be able to catch up any longer."
"Wait a minute, I'll be there right away, what the hell! I drove here for an hour and a half just to watch a movie with you, and you're still ashamed to rush me?"
"Mom, let's go!"
"Husband, are you out!! Hurry up~"
"Let's go, I voted this one, the time is almost up, I'm going to watch the premiere."
At this time, in thousands of households, countless people go out of their homes or Internet cafes for a movie. In other words, people who spend in Internet cafes on New Year's Eve are really miserable...
Nearly twelve o'clock, Jiangcheng, Song Peng took Song Qiao to Hengdian Cinema located in Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street. Jiangcheng is Song Qiao's hometown, and Song Peng also made a marriage arrangement this time.
They just happened to happen in this life.
"My God, there are so many people here?" Song Qiao was stunned as soon as she came up. This Hengdian Cinema is on the eighth floor. Because it is close to Wanda Cinema, the business here is generally not very good. If so many people...
"I just can't get Wanda's seats. There are five movie theaters nearby, and this one still has seats when I book it." Song Peng said happily. The poster of the movie, and "Monkey King 2" firmly occupies the C position.
In this kind of environment, the theater at this time seemed to be almost overcrowded. At a rough glance, there were nearly 200 people. The lively atmosphere was in sharp contrast to the emptiness downstairs.
It can only be said that it is a New Year's file, but I don't know how many of these people are here for "The Monkey King 2"...
Although Li Lan said so, the movies in the same period are not weak.
Chapter 373
"Brother Bo, what is your estimated box office for "Journey to Miracles"? Do you have the confidence to win the box office championship?"
A few days ago, during the publicity of various crews, a reporter interviewed Huang Bo, the lead actor of "Journey of Miracles". There is a giant "Monkey King 2", which was previously based on "Thor 2", and now this movie can be said to be a combination of the right time, place and people, and the general trend is at hand.
It is obviously embarrassing to ask this question.
Huang Bo smiled and said: "Of course I have confidence. I have confidence in each of my works. The key is whether the audience has confidence in "Miracle Journey", right? The box office depends on the audience."
These words brought laughter back to the atmosphere on the scene, which is recognized as a high EQ in the film industry.
"Then what do you think of "The Monkey King 2"?" A reporter was unwilling to give up and tried to make trouble, Huang Bo smiled and said: "Director Lin is a director I admire and have always wanted to work with. I believe in this movie. It will definitely be excellent, well, let’s not talk about this topic, otherwise our Director Guo will be angry.”
"No, no, they are all Chinese movies. As long as the filming is good, I believe fans will not mind watching one more movie, and I also have a relationship with Director Lin. My next movie will be the script outline that Director Lin gave me. At the same time, it is also the producer, all for the development of Chinese films, there is no competition." Guo Fan finally said with a smile: "Actually, I am also looking forward to "The Monkey King 2", but I also believe that "Journey of Miracles" will not Everyone will be disappointed."
As soon as the interview was released, it immediately won the favor of many people. This pattern is very atmospheric. Many fans of the alliance expressed that they would go to see "Miracle Journey". At the same time, fans also agreed with his words. Really, as long as the movie is good, movie fans can't wait for it Watch two.
For a while, the crews of the same schedule followed suit, saying that movie fans have different tastes, there is no need to compare, they also respect Lin Juan, and look forward to "Monkey King 2" and the like, so it is such a rare encounter, forming a Everyone avoids the situation of comparing with "Monkey King 2", quite a kind of invincible momentum.
But what exactly do they think...
Only they know it themselves, but they can guess. There must be many people secretly hoping that the reputation of "Monkey King 2" will plummet, and that the world will be chaotic and there will be a situation of hegemony, otherwise... only Can be a obedient minister.
Time goes back to the present.
"Let's go, it's time to check the ticket." Song Peng excitedly urged Song Qiao, who was still packing her bag and milk tea, to finally start!Only movie fans can understand the trembling and excitement in their hearts, just like novel fans read a wonderful novel, that kind of heartfelt excitement, joy, and anticipation.
Song Peng at this moment is happy.
"Here we come." Song Qiao excitedly took the milk tea and held Song Peng's hand. The two of them had been looking forward to it for a long time.
