Lu Bo's film review of "The Past" posted on Douban has caused quite a stir in the domestic film circle. All kinds of well-founded analysis of the film based on reality are indeed very persuasive. There is nothing wrong with people who have different opinions.

method to refute Lubo's analysis.

This film review was even translated into English with the help of good people and published on foreign websites. For a time, Lu Bo, an amateur film critic, gained a certain following among film lovers around the world for his comments.

But this is only a hot topic in the circle of movie lovers. The discussion of "The Past" is actually not out of the circle. For ordinary audiences, their discussions revolve around "Women's Federation".

Many people say that the competition between "The Past" and "Women's Federation" is an extremely stupid and arrogant decision made by Mickey, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that no matter when "The Past" is released or who it competes with, in fact, the final box office results

There won't be much difference.

After all, his movies are not suitable for watching with the family. As a result, moviegoers are all individuals, pure movie lovers or die-hard fans of Lu Ze, Mickey, Kamiya and others. In addition, most moviegoers

Most ordinary viewers will not set foot in the screening room of "Afterlife".

"The Past" is a very personal film. When writing the script, most passers-by have been eliminated. This is a gift given by Mickey to a small circle.

Therefore, in addition to the remarkable box office results in the first week of release due to the full support of movie lovers around the world, the box office showed a cliff-like decline a week later, falling from the second position in the box office list and being surpassed by many commercial films behind it.

, has become the last among the high-scoring movies of the same period, except for bad movies. Of course, this has a lot to do with the lack of marketing and publicity.

On the contrary, in the eyes of professionals, "Afterlife" has become this year's class bully, punching and kicking all the movies this year. No movie is an enemy. Although it is only the beginning of the new year, will there be new ones?

The emergence of a dark horse is still unknown, but insiders do not have particularly high expectations.

All in all, "The Past", like most profound films, has not yet left the entertainment industry and has not become a phenomenon-level work. However, it still has an excellent reputation among insiders and has become the biggest favorite to win awards this year.

.

As for when to win which award, this problem will be solved later. Just consider now, what changes "Afterlife" has brought to Mickey and others, in addition to the cynicism about Mickey in the entertainment newspapers, the most important thing is to reflect

In terms of the popularity of the male lead Lu Ze abroad.

…

"I'd like two Big Macs, a Coke, a pair of chicken wings, and a chocolate sundae, thank you."

The Cullinan, modified in Black Warrior colors, slowly drove into McDonald's external ordering window. The tall body made Lu Ze basically level with the ordering waiter. The window slowly lowered. He wore aviator sunglasses and looked at the man who was working with his head down.

The waiter said.

"Sir, it would be more cost-effective if you switch to a set meal...wait, are you Parker?"

"Well... that's right, but he is just a character played by me."

"Oh my god! Stop messing with me, man. If I hadn't watched "The Past" several times, I wouldn't have recognized you. You're much stronger than Parker."

The waiter stroked his forehead with a very expressive expression. He didn't know whether he wanted to cry or laugh, but it could be seen that he was very excited and his face started to turn red. He took the banknotes handed over by Lu Ze and folded them at the corners.

I immediately made a mark.

"Well, I've been working out recently."

"Do you have any new movie plans?"

"This needs to be kept secret."

"Okay, can we take a photo together?"

Lu Ze did not refuse, took off his sunglasses, and waited for the waiter to secretly take out his mobile phone. Seeing that the supervisor was not there, he quickly turned around and took a photo. Without checking whether the flowers were taken, he took the packaging bag handed over by the chef and handed it to

Lu Ze also gave Lu Ze a sundae privately.

"It's given to you for free, take it quickly and don't let my leader see it."

"Thanks man, goodbye, I wish you a happy life."

It was a simple act of kindness, although it was not very aboveboard, but Lu Ze accepted it readily. He fist-checked with his brother with a smile, put the items in the car, and pressed the accelerator.

"Come on, brother! I'm optimistic about you!"

The young man stretched his body out of the window and shouted quite loudly. Lu Ze heard it. The vehicle did not stop, but he just stretched his hand out of the window and gave a thumbs up.

Maybe this incident is just a small episode for Lu Ze, but for the little brother, it is a day worthy of joy. For an actor whose name he does not know, but whose works he likes, even when the next car stops,

, his smile became much more sincere.

This is just a small episode, but Lu Ze likes this way of communicating with fans very much. Although he is not as crazy as domestic fans, he is extremely comfortable getting along with him.

In the past few days, more than one person has recognized him, but he will not be surrounded by people like in China, taking pictures with their mobile phones without his permission.

Most of them just said hello and asked for a group photo or a short video and then left neatly. Only a few people asked for autographs. Lu Ze also agreed one by one, which also made him famous on foreign social media.

A good reputation.

The car was driving on the road and he took a big bite of hamburger at the red light. Now his weight has basically met the requirements of "Exile", but the cost of gaining muscle is a lot of physical exertion. He needs to eat a lot to make his body fatter.

His stomach won’t complain, but of course, as a result, his body fat will be higher, and he needs to undergo a week-long carbohydrate-free and fat-brushing process before shooting.

About half an hour later, he arrived at the company, honked a few times, and the newly hired security guard raised the gate and said hello to Lu Ze.

Nowadays, the Universal Brothers are no longer alone. There are paparazzi filming at the door from time to time. After all, Mickey, a guy who makes enemies everywhere, is also a popular entertainment object.

The old method of swiping access cards to enter the hospital can no longer protect the company's internal information. Lu Ze also believes that hiring security personnel from several professional security companies to conduct round-the-clock patrols is very necessary after all when setting up multiple monitors.

.

"Good morning Mr. Lu."

"Hello, Jill."

The black boy in the mailroom was fired for being paid to secretly photograph Mickey. After many tests, the fifty-five-year-old Gil took over the job with a salary that was increased several times.

"Would you like a sundae?"

"If possible, it would be best sir."

After briefly chatting with Jill, he returned to his office and moved the Golden Rooster Award trophy that the cleaner had placed a little crookedly. Then he sat down and turned on his computer to write this quarter's Electrical and Electronics Industry Association report.

To be honest, this kind of report that needs to be made official is enough to give a person who has never entered the system and has never held a clerical job a headache. Its format has rules. You can't have a hammer and a stick.

In the past, his master would definitely have to send the report back and ask him to rewrite it.

That's right, each of his reports must be sent to the old man first, and can only be officially released after being checked by the old man. This can be regarded as a disguised escort for Lu Ze.

"Dong dong dong."

"Enter."

The door was pushed open, Mickey stretched out his head furtively and looked around, then he smiled and walked in swaggeringly.

"Why are you acting like a thief?"

"I heard from the security guard that the camera in your room has never been turned on. I thought you were doing something bad. Isn't this disturbing your enjoyment?"

"If you have something serious to say, just say it. If it's not, just get out. I'm busy here. Don't look for fun here."

It is true that Lu Ze turned off the camera, but this is because he doesn't like the feeling of being monitored, even if they are to protect his own safety. As for what Mickey said about doing bad things, it was just a joke. For Lu Ze's people

As for Pin, let’s not talk about whether he would do bad things. Even if he did, he wouldn’t be in the company.

"I just finished discussing the specific matters of the share transfer agreement with the negotiating company. I don't have many requirements. I just follow the normal contractual obligations. It's just that I don't want the new shareholders to be too lenient."

"You can make these decisions yourself, there's no need to discuss them with me."

"All right……"

Lu Ze didn't raise his head, he was still writing and drawing on the manuscript paper, sometimes frowning in thought, and sometimes writing in a hurry. Mickey looked a little bored. After all, he couldn't recognize all the Chinese characters and had no idea what Lu Ze was writing, so he had to

Picking up a key-like wrench, opening the dust cover of the cabinet clock, energizing the swinging pendulum, sitting down again, picking up a pen, pulling out the pen cap, and pushing it back in again, over and over again.

Wipe big snot on the wall.

It wasn't until a flash of inspiration came to him that he came up with a good idea, and then he slammed the table, which frightened Lu Ze and made him lean back in his chair reflexively.

"What are you doing again?"

"Let me ask you, what is my goal in founding Global Brothers?"

The sudden question made Lu Ze think for a long time. Mickey's question stumped him, not because of his poor memory, but because Mickey had so many damn goals. He didn't know who he was asking about. After thinking for a long time, he finally answered.

Uncertain opening.

"Becoming a major film and television company...?"

"That's not it, guess again!"

"Where am I supposed to guess? You talk so much nonsense every day, how do I know which one it is? Just tell me."

“It’s to attract film and television talents from all over the world for your own use!”

"So? What exactly do you want to say?"

Of course, Lu Ze still remembered this dream. Mickey's bold words on the day he signed the share transfer contract still left a deep impression on Lu Ze, but he still couldn't guess Mickey's intention.

"I can sell the shares, even for 20 million or 10 million, that's fine, but I want an additional project, and I want a contract to connect talents to each other."

"Be specific, what do you mean?"

"What is the most lacking thing for Global Brothers now? People! People, there are only seven people in a company, and three more are needed to work on shifts. Not only do I have trouble saving face, but I am also stretched when I need a team. I just want to

, I might as well not form my own team now. As the big brother who holds the shares of Universal Brothers, does the company have to help the younger brother? I am still nominally from your company, but when I need it, you have to lend me money. Of course, their salary

We will also pay for it. Similarly, when they are in need, the younger ones also have to step up, right? Just give them the money and we will help!"

The cap of the pen was not fastened tightly, and Mickey hit the table with a loud bang, causing little ink stains to splash on Lu Ze's manuscript paper. However, Lu Ze did not pay attention, and instead thought about the possibility of the problem, and finally

It still feels impossible.

Although there is no precedent for artists' contracts to be split in half between two companies in the past, and it is very common for artists to participate in projects of other companies, but those are all personal contracts. I have never heard of any two companies where the entire team can cooperate with each other.

Circulating.

And what does Mickey want? Not only the mutual loan of directors, screenwriters, and actors, but also the rights to use costumes, costumes, channels, post-production, special effects, and even the publicity team. No matter how you think about it, it is a bit unrealistic.

.

"After all, he is also a film and television giant, the leader of a European film company. It is not impossible for the same level to be connected to each other. After all, the contract will not be transferred, but we have two or three big cats and kittens, and the total is

There is one actor, two directors, and a photographer. There are so many different levels that I don’t think it’s possible.”

"You are looking down on yourself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mickey stiffened his neck. Perhaps it was because of his extreme conceitedness and arrogance. He did not allow himself to be in the weak position. He had such an imposing manner that one man could stop an army of millions with a single sword, and his smart IQ

Occupying the high ground, analyze it in detail with Lu Ze.

"Theoretically speaking, the four of us cannot match the strength of other companies. After all, the difference in numbers is there, but we also have our own advantages. Think about it, how long have we just established the company? How many shots have we taken?

Movies? Two! But what? A low-budget "Effect" has destroyed many big-budget movies, and "Afterlife" is a sure thing to win awards."

"Why didn't "Afterlife" make it out of the entertainment industry and become a phenomenon-level work? Isn't it because we have no money and no publicity channels? But they do! Let's borrow their people and give them an important role. Once

The new movie is a big success, and they use publicity channels to promote it, and people become famous! So you think, are they here to be our reinforcements? This is fucking gold-plated coming!"

"You lend me a man of decent strength, and I will rim it with gold and then return it to you. Only fools would not do such a deal! At first, our goal was not big, just a few, just a few! Let them try the effect

, let’s see if the work done by our metallurgical factory is good. Once the results meet their expectations, they will naturally borrow large quantities of them from outside, including those who serve the Taoist priests! After all, this is also a qualification, and the salary is borne by us.

The contract is still in their hands, how can they not do it?"

Lu Ze thought for a while, and in this regard, it was not impossible. Once the other party took the shares, the two companies were equivalent to being married. They had to be more or less polite. It should be no problem to borrow a few people to play roles. After all, the other party

You also need to get dividends.

Of course, this is on the premise of not borrowing big names, otherwise once the movie sucks, some big names will be affected, and the other party will definitely not dare to gamble with the company's mainstay.

But if he borrows a few soldiers who are strong but not well-known to take a gamble, I believe that with the talent pool of Gambiano Pictures, it will not hurt him. If he loses, he will lose. But if he becomes famous

Now, they all have to give Mickey a banner to thank Mr. Lian Qiaomi for his selflessness.

At first, you can set up a clause to only lend a few people at most, and set a limit on the highest net worth of the loaned person. This clause should be easy to agree to. After all, they also know Mickey's strength well. When he actually participates in the show,

If the movie becomes popular, the other party will probably hope that Mickey will revise the contract. Thinking about it this way, it is very feasible! However, there will be a drawback, and Lu Ze must remind Mickey.

"There is nothing wrong with you thinking this way. It is also a good idea. It can temporarily solve part of the manpower problem. I agree with this clause in the contract, but the team has to be formed. Other people's teams are easy to use, but they belong to others after all. If one day

If we part ways with them, we will still have to be in a situation where we have no one available and can only find freelancers, so I think it is also important to build a team."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

In response to Lu Ze's worries, Mickey suddenly laughed three times as if he was going crazy. He suddenly stood up from the stool, squatted on the ground, and imitated the action of planting flowers in Lu Ze's garden a few days ago.

"Come on! Guess what I want to express!"

Lu Ze held his arms in his arms and leaned back on his chair to watch indifferently. Sometimes he really couldn't stand Mickey's sudden whims of confusing human behavior and asking him to guess the meaning. Why not guess the idioms by watching the actions here?

"Retarded children."

"Bah! Seriously! Guess!"

"The Joy of Baboons."

"Get out! No need for you to guess!"

He jumped up and stood up straight, imitating MJ, touching his crotch with his left hand, holding his forehead with his right hand, pouting his mouth, exhaling, turning his head and pointing at Lu Ze like Conan.

"That's it! As long as the pickaxe digs well! There is no corner that I can't dig down!"
