Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 54: Overseas Box Office Booms
"Lawston cut off his arm to save himself, is this actually imitating a Chinese movie called 127 Hours?"

"Is it a coincidence, or is he really imitating someone with his own life? Many details of Lawston's self-rescue are surprisingly consistent with 127 Hours."

"The most avid fan of "127 Hours" cut off his own arm in imitation of the movie."

"Lawston's story is highly consistent with 127 Hours, but the movie was released half a month ago."

"The Berlin award-winning film "127 Hours" has become a reality. What an incredible coincidence."

……

Related news reports immediately leaked out, once again sparking public opinion.

The story of a man saving himself by cutting off his arm was already a huge gimmick, and now the "movie fanatics" have added fuel to the fire.

This made the Allen Ralston incident even more popular than before.

It even became a national hit and can truly be called a household name.

After all, it is too crazy to watch a movie and then imitate the plot in the movie and cut off your own arm.

Of course, Rawston strongly denied this and claimed that he had never watched "127 Hours".

But this is really not convincing.

have not seen?
Haven't you seen that everything you do is exactly the same as in the movie? A one-to-one restoration?

How could there be such a coincidence in this world?

You clearly learned that through hard work according to the tutorial, right?

If you learn it less than once, you won’t be able to achieve such accurate restoration.

What?
Is there such a crazy person in the world who cuts off his arm just for watching a movie?

Countless people immediately jumped out and swore, how could it be possible?

It's no surprise that crazy fans can do anything.

Just like that crazy fan of "Taxi Driver".

After watching the movie, didn't people just imitate the plot in the movie and assassinate the President of the United States?

What's the big deal about cutting off an arm?

Through word of mouth in the media, Rawston, the unlucky guy who was originally called a hero, was quickly branded as a brainless fan.

The fact that the other party was imitating the movie "127 Hours" has been directly confirmed.

A direct consequence of this was that "127 Hours" became a complete hit.

Countless people are crazy about wanting to know what magic this movie has that can make fans so crazy.

Countless people want to know whether the news reports are true or false, and want to see whether what Lawston did is really the same as in the movie.

In just two days, "127 Hours" became a movie that countless people had been craving for.

From a niche movie that no one cared about, it has transformed into a super hit!
The distributors and cinema chains of "127 Hours" were overjoyed and they all significantly increased their screening schedules for "127 Hours".

So, it became a big deal.

"127 Hours" has set off a wave of movie-watching craze in the United States.

On the first day of the increase, the box office reached 185 million US dollars!

It’s more than the box office revenue of the previous half month’s release.

"I've watched the movie. What the media said was right. It's exactly the same as what happened to that guy Lawston."

"Confirmed. Lawston really used his life to imitate 127 Hours."

"Oh my god, I can't believe it. I thought Lawston was retelling the movie."

Many viewers who watched the movie were interviewed and said that the movie was highly consistent with what Rawston said.

It's just like a fucking documentary, or a biopic.

But the movie was released first, so it can’t be a biopic.

There is only one possibility, that Rawston is really imitating "127 Hours".

Under such circumstances, the popularity of "127 Hours" continued to rise, and the box office continued to rise in the following days.

192 million, 201 million, 233 million, 241 million, in just five days, it reached million US dollars.

Completely crazy and killing madly.

The news quickly spread back to China, and the entire Chinese entertainment industry was stunned once again.

"127 Hours" was released in North America, setting off a wave of movie-watching enthusiasm, earning tens of millions of box office in just five days."

"A fanatical fan imitated the movie by cutting off his own arm, sparking public opinion, and '127 Hours' became a huge hit in North America."

"127 Hours" was a huge success in North America, grossing tens of millions in five days."

Exploded.

The Chinese entertainment industry exploded again, and countless people were dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

After all, this matter is really too magical.

How good is Director Zhou’s movie that fans are so crazy about it that they actually cut off their own arms to imitate it?
Everyone’s first reaction was disbelief. How could there be such a madman in the world?

But foreign media all say this, and mainstream public opinion holds this view, so you have to believe it even if you don't want to.

Everyone could only think that the guy named Lawston was really crazy and his brain was definitely not normal.

Besides such jaw-dropping exclamations, one could only envy Zhou Qing to the point of wanting to cry.

You have to know that Europe and the United States have never been interested in Chinese films.

Even though "127 Hours" won a big prize in Berlin, it actually didn't sell well in America.

After all, Americans only recognize two Chinese faces: Cheng Long and Li Lianjie.

If "Hero" had not been starred by Li Lianjie, it would never have sold so well overseas.

At that time, the investors also said that if Li Lianjie was not there, they would have invested about 3 to 4 million, but with Jet Li, they dared to invest 30 million.

This is Li Lianjie's terrifying overseas influence.

These days, apart from the films of Li Lianjie and Jackie Chan, Chinese-language films simply fail to make any waves overseas.

Every one of them failed silently.

But what about "127 Hours"? It actually broke the box office of million!

It was a crazy achievement in just five days, which is really terrifying.

You have to know that apart from the recently released "Hero" which grossed 50 million in North America, only Jackie Chan's two "Police Stories" had box office revenues of over 10 million.

But what kind of movie is "Police Stories"?
A big-budget, commercial film, Jackie Chan’s signature brand.

What's in "127 Hours"?
There's nothing!
This is simply a miracle.

A miracle caused by "publicity and promotion".

Who would have thought that someone would actually risk their life to promote "127 Hours".

I can only envy these true fans.

"Damn! Is there such a thing?"

Zhou Qing, who knew the news, was also stunned.

He knew that the unlucky guy who was the prototype of "127 Hours" had an accident this year, but he never expected that it would happen when the movie was released overseas.

This directly led to the movie’s box office explosion.

This is really unexpected.

If I had known this, I would not have sold out the overseas copyright of "127 Hours" and would have directly negotiated the profit sharing.

Zhou Qing felt like he had lost a lot of money.

But no matter what, this is also a good thing for Zhou Qing.

Although he didn't make any extra money, with the popularity of the movie, his presence in North America must have been greatly enhanced.

I didn’t make any money, but I did gain some fame, so it was neither a loss nor a loss.
