Chapter 111 I'm not pretending (3/5)

After thinking for a long time, the reporter asked: "Are you afraid of losing money by investing a billion yuan?"

"…It shouldn't be. The domestic market's growth is amazing. The total volume last year is 11 billion, and it is estimated that it will reach 14 billion this year. The Hollywood quota will increase next year, and it is estimated that it will increase to 20 billion..."

"As a size of 20 billion, the box office of the top movies must be at least 1.5 billion, right?"

"We should release the first "Taking Tiger Mountain in 2013", and the market at that time was enough to recover the cost..."

"Graining will be launched in 2015, and "The Wandering Earth" will start at least 3 billion in the market's top works at the time..."

"China's box office market is very large. In theory, in the saturation stage, we are at least three to five times that of the North American market, and we are still far away!"

“…But what if it fails?”

"Just lay the foundation for the Chinese film industry. Our three films will use at least 10,000 special effects personnel. These are the sparks of Chinese film industrialization!"

Another reporter asked: "Then are all Oranges invested in these billions?"

"…This involves trade secrets... Forget it, I'll just say it!"

Lu Xiaoran suddenly sighed: "There are many people in the company who object, and they think we should continue to do comedy or drama films..."

"I can understand it too, after all, it involves ten-digit investment..."

"And Orange is a listed company and is irresponsible to shareholders if it is blindly spending."

"So, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is my own money..."

...

When the news spread online, some people thought that Lu Xiaoran was too inferior and filmed "Source Code" and said, "It's twenty years worse than Hollywood"...

Some people also think that Lu Xiaoran is a real filmmaker and is moving forward for Chinese-language films...

Of course, more people are discussing ‘120 million meanings’, ‘One billion can only be considered medium meaning’…

"I only obey Lu Xiaoran when I pretend to behave, and I have a medium meaning of one billion!"

"120 million, a little bit!"

"Actually, what he said is fine. 120 million dollars is converted into US dollars but not to 20 million. In Hollywood, it can only be considered a small matter. Even if it is one billion, it will be equal to three movies, and each movie will only be 330 million dollars. It is not to 45 million dollars. It is really a medium-sized film production!"

"What are you worried about? Lu Xiaoran's net worth is over 5 billion!"

"5 billion? Isn't it 4.7 billion?"

"Care for the stock market, Orange's stock price has risen to the daily limit for two consecutive days!"

“…The boss took me to trade stocks!”

Well, the topic has shifted...

...

On the 13th, the first working day, the single-day box office of "Source Code" was 46 million...

The decline is 40%!

It set the biggest drop in Lu Xiaoran’s movies!

November is not a big schedule after all. If it weren’t for the release of “Source Code”, the market would be very cold!

Lu Xiaoran doesn’t care much about these things. Judging from the current box office trend, if it exceeds 600 million, it may be possible to win 800 million...

Wuhan, "Watching Movies" interview:

"A worth 5 billion? What's the difference from before?"

"It's really no different. Actually, I don't love money, and I don't spend much money. I'm not interested in money. When I was a sophomore, I won 8 million by chance. I bought a house and several shops, which is enough for me to be free and easy for the rest of my life!"

"Actually, at the beginning, I just wanted to be an actor, not a director, nor an orange!"

"You should know that Orange was just my personal studio at the beginning, with only four people in total, helping me handle some brokerage business, and later filming "Stone"..."

"The time I was filming "Stone" was really the happiest time. Everyone loved movies and got together every day to discuss the filming of the next day. Because the crew had no money, I paid a sum;"

"Later, I met Big Dog Brother and invested in me in "Border Storm". Yang Qing is my deputy director. He found me with "Nightclub". I read that script and liked it very much, so I invested..."

"Then it's Xu Zheng, Su Lun, Ning Hao..."

"I don't know how I got to where I am today!"

Lu Xiaoran spread his hands, looking helpless...

Alang touched his nose: "I will write all these words in a magazine..."

"Write it, these are all my true thoughts!"

"The source code invested 120 million yuan. I watched your pay, but it didn't reach 10 million yuan?"

"Yes, most of them are used in props and special effects. If we want to shoot a sci-fi feel, we have to spend money. Just Wan Qian and Chufeng and their base were built for half a year, and it cost no less than 30 million!"

“When was this part done?”

"This project was launched at the end of 2009, and then we did it! It was originally expected that it would be completed in 100 million, but it was still overspent..."

“What is the biggest regret?”

Lu Xiaoran thought about it seriously: "There is no regrets. It's really enough to complete such a movie in one and a half years. We are very awesome!"

"Then the difference between what you said and Hollywood..."

"The gap exists. It's the first time we have been working on it for more than fifty years. It's normal for us to have a gap!"

"I mean, are there any regrets that are caused by insufficient money?"

"I think this problem is not very valid. If we have no time limit and money limit, then I can't do something, why do I still have to make movies? 120 million yuan, I buy 60 houses and wait for the appreciation!"

"You've been talking about industrialization, what exactly is industrialization?"

"When I mentioned industrialization before, I thought it was a hard thing and a big machine. In fact, it was not. What is the underlying logic of industrialization? It must be standardized and quantified before it can be allocated, and only when it is allocated can it be divided. Only when it is divided can it be improved efficiency. This is the underlying logic of industrialization. We trace it back to the origin, which is formatting."

...

The exclusive interview with "Watching Movies" was completed that night and made into an electronic version, and uploaded to Weibo that night!

For netizens, the second half is not important.

The first half is enough;

"A worth 5 billion? What's the difference from before?"

"It's really no different. Actually, I don't love money, I don't spend much money, I'm not interested in money!"

Lu Xiaoran's pretentious quotes continue to increase: 1 billion meant that I am not interested in money...

Netizens made various jokes, even made emoticons...

When Lu Xiaoran was chatting with Tangtang, she learned that her status in emoticons once made Yao Ming, Director Jin, and Kana Hanazawa.

All confused...

I explained on Weibo aggrievedly: I really don’t show off. 120 million is really a little bit in Hollywood; and I just emphasized that I don’t care about my value…

It's useless, all the comments below are:

I know, Lu Shiyi;

I know, Lu · doesn't care about money...

Online jokes that offline, the box office of "Source Code" continued to maintain a daily growth rate of more than 40 million yuan. For four consecutive working days, the daily report was over 40 million yuan...

It has been released for 7 days and has a cumulative box office of 380 million.
Chapter completed!
