1563 Mr. Five Billion
"Hey, Mr. Five hundred million US dollars, congratulations on being the father of two." The cheerful and stingy voice echoed over the empty farm.
Lanley turned around, first seeing two little guys standing not far behind him, then seeing Jessica lying on the window, and finally the bustling figures in the room. It seemed that the entire crew had temporarily put down the busy things in their hands and flocked to the door and window to watch the fun, just like a dinosaur appeared.
Such a scene made Lan Li look slightly surprised, because the whole house looked so quiet just now that she couldn't find anyone, and suddenly became lively. He reacted for a moment and then laughed silently, "Mr. 500 million US dollars, isn't this the slogan of the sperm donation bank?"
Sperm donation bank.
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then they burst into laughter.
The so-called Mr. Five Billion USD is the nickname of Lanli in recent times. Just like that movie, "Million Dollar Baby", it "clearly marks the price" for Lanli.
Although when entering the crew, the box office of "gravity" in North America has not yet exceeded 500 million, and it is even a long way off, all experts have predicted that 500 million is a high probability event, and it can even be said to be a foregone conclusion. This also means that after "Edge of Tomorrow", Lan Li will soon usher in the second consecutive work in North America that has exceeded 500 million.
And, not a sequel!
This is definitely an unprecedented first time, and it has once again refreshed people's perception of the box office appeal of North America. It is no exaggeration to describe it as a Shi Potian.
From questioning Lanley's market influence to establishing her absolute strength in two consecutive works of 500 million works, Lanley is now an insurmountable benchmark. Even Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp can only accept the disadvantage, and their popularity at their peak is far inferior.
No actor has ever been able to show such dominance in the North American market, which reminds people of Harrison Ford.
Harrison, who relied on "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Star Wars" to dominate the market, although the box office figures in North America did not exceed 500 million in succession, his unparalleled influence was comparable to that of Renli today, which caused a sensation in the entire market and changed the entire landscape. After that, Harrison started his thirty-year career as a superstar.
Now, Lan Li's voice is even more powerful than that.
It is worth mentioning that both Harrison and Renley's agents are Andy Rogers, which is also particularly eye-catching. But the difference is that after moving on to several agents, Harrison finally came to Andy's hands. He has several agents in the innovative artist agency to manage things; while Renley is the one who pushes Andy to the top, and the meaning is naturally different.
Despite this, major media still couldn't wait to say, "Lanley Hall took over Harrison Ford, and it will take thirty years to reincarnate. Does this mean that the North American film market is about to enter a new era?"
The significance of Lanley's rise is not just as simple as "500 million box office", but the sequel series adapted by comics and novels firmly occupy the leading role in the market, and the living space of other movies is getting smaller and smaller. Now people finally see different possibilities, which has an inspiration for the entire market. Just like Harrison's emergence back then.
From "Great White Shark" to "Star Wars", the concept of summer season has emerged in North America, and it has also formed the prototype of commercial films.
Before this, movies were always an elegant pastime, with expensive ticket prices, sparse theaters and appropriate works. Although Hollywood film studios competed very fiercely, the output was still not high after all, and audiences entering theaters became a high-end pastime once a week. The market mechanism of the entire industry has not yet fully matured.
Then Harrison Ford appeared!
"Star Wars" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" formed a relatively fixed creative model, so the commercial film model gradually evolved into reality. It is no exaggeration to say that his works laid the foundation for today's film market - for industry insiders, that was the credit of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas; but for the general public, this is the feat of Harrison Ford.
Now, the commercial film market has fully matured and entered a bottleneck period. Adapted movies and series of movies occupy the big screen, and the awareness of innovation has gradually deteriorated. Assembly works are becoming more and more templated, and the importance of copyright is rising steadily. Without copyright, it seems that the initiative has been lost. Warner Bros., Disney and Sony Columbia have gone to the front end, while 20th Century Fox, Universal and Paramount have been gradually left behind.
Then Renly appeared.
So, what inspiration can the Renli model bring to the current film market? This is something that the entire industry needs to study slowly.
Harrison and Renley, one founded and the other broke, had extraordinary historical significance. The reaction of the entire market was naturally extraordinary.
Why doesn’t Universal Pictures dare to break up with Renley easily? This is the reason!
Before the release of "Georgeousness", Universal Studios missed the best opportunity for negotiations, and made mistakes one step at a time, and then fell into a vicious cycle. Just like the timing of Wall Street, if you miss a point of time, you must spend more energy to make up for the mistakes. Now they are in an embarrassing position in a dilemma, and Long Mayer is helpless.
Mr. Five billion US dollars is a joking title from the media, but it is also a respectful title. Apart from James Cameron, who can have such appeal in the entire North American market? This allows you to clearly feel the powerful influence of Renly's unique world.
Jessica was just deliberately making fun of it, but who would have thought that Renly interpreted it in such a naughty and weird way.
The other staff members at the scene reacted immediately, and they were hilarious and hilarious.
McCanzhi, who was standing in the front, didn't understand why, did 500 million have anything to do with the bank? She didn't understand the current situation at all.
Timothy was confused and could understand a little, but the reaction speed was a little slower, and a big smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
McCanzhi looked around, but found that she was the only one who had been "abandoned". After blinking her eyes, she decided to take the initiative. "Jessica means, congratulations on your box office coming to a new half billion! Everyone is amazed at this matter now! This is simply incredible."
The little girl gave the answer in her own way, worried that Lan Li didn't understand what Jessica meant. The crisp words, with a wanton vitality and vitality, make people involuntarily brighten up, just like a sunflower that follows the sun, full of the refreshing breath of sunshine.
No wonder the elderly always like to get along with their children. The vitality is the sunshine that grows against the years, dispelling fear and haze, as well as illness and death. They can't help but want to get closer, get closer, and feel the youth that has passed away and dissipated, as if they can return to those beautiful times again.
Even Renli can empathize.
Lanli smiled brightly at McCanzhi, "Thank you! This is my honor." Without a defense, it was as if he really didn't understand Jessica's words.
Facing Renli's smile, McCanzhi's cheeks couldn't help but feel slightly hot. Then he bit his lower lip and shyly shook his head. His voice suddenly lowered like a mosquito whisper. He said something vaguely, but he couldn't hear it clearly. The corners of his mouth still couldn't help but raise it up.
Lanli didn't pursue the matter, and politely stretched out her right hand, "Hey, I'm Lanli for the first time meeting."
"I know, I know, I know!" McKenzie immediately became excited and said with her fingers, "I have watched all your movies!'Love is crazy'!'I am fighting cancer'!'Delivery'!'Fast and Passion'!'Edge of Tomorrow'! And, and 'buried alive'!" The little girl really counted one by one.
Lan Li's smile rolled slightly, "This is not very good." McCanzhi was stunned for a moment, not sure, and looked at Lan Li with her little head tilted and then heard the subsequent explanation, "Many of my works are R-level. Does this mean that you have done bad things secretly without hiding them?"
this……
Isn't this head circuit right?
"Oh." McKenzie immediately started to wail, covering her cheeks with depression, so ashamed that she couldn't raise her head - why is Renli's focus different from what she imagined?
Lan Li couldn't help laughing and continued, "You haven't introduced yourself yet. If you tell me your name now, I will keep this secret."
McCanzhi immediately put his hands down, his big eyes full of joy and excitement. He looked at Renli in disbelief, measured the authenticity slightly, and then couldn't wait to speak, but was choked by his saliva because he was too excited, "Ahem... McCanzhi! My name is McCanzhi!"
"I'm very happy to know you, McCanzhi!" Lanli stretched out his right hand again. Just now, the little girl was completely immersed in her own world and did not notice Lanli's handshake at all. He once again made a formal gesture of greeting.
This time, McCanzhi didn't miss it.
The little girl straightened her back and quickly reached out to hold Lan Li's right hand, held it once, nodded vigorously! Then she held it again! A weird smile appeared on her face. When she was about to let go, she held it for the third time. She nodded solemnly like a little adult, and also showed a meaningful polite expression, as if she was imitating her parents or scenes she had seen:
"I'm very happy to meet you! I'm very happy to meet you! Mr. Hall! It's really my honor to be able to meet you!"
Chapter completed!
