Chapter 302 Pretentious Syndrome

"Groundhog Day" hit the box office on its first day of release in the United States.

The box office on the first day did not hit the market, and they could still make a lot of money, but everyone felt a little bit regretful.

The premiere box office was 800,000 US dollars, about 6 million RMB.

After "Groundhog Day", which became a hero in China, came to the United States, the box office did not beat "King Kong Man 2. Rise" like the enthusiasm of netizens, and it was 100% worse than the third place "Dark Legion". Multi-million box office.

After regretting, everyone suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

Yes, sense of absurdity.

This feeling makes them feel ridiculous.

Did "Groundhog Day" perform poorly overseas?

Do not!

Not only is it not bad, but even among the movies that have gone overseas in the past two years, "Groundhog Day" can be ranked in the top three box office results, and the total box office results are definitely higher than last month's "The Man From Earth" .

This is a huge step forward and a success by any measure.

Did it fail?

Do not!

It never fails!

In China, it has successfully become the Chinese card movie in May. Without this movie, then China in May would definitely be an extremely humiliating month.

After Huaxia successfully fought against Hollywood, it officially began to fight against Hollywood like its older brother "The Man From Earth"!

Of course Hollywood is still Hollywood.

A real blockbuster has a strong background, strong special effects, and perhaps a little loophole in the plot, but many unique shooting techniques can completely make up for this deficiency.

"The Man From Earth" is very successful, but it also has its own reasons. After all, "You in the Future" can only be a small-budget movie in Hollywood, although the investment in "The Man From Earth" is even more unbelievable , but its plot is really amazing, whether it is in China or in the United States, it is eye-catching!

So, it counterattacked successfully.

May is very different!

But in terms of investment alone, the investment in these Hollywood movies is more than 20 million US dollars...

And what about the "Groundhog Day" investment?

There are only more than six million RMB, less than one million US dollars...

The difference is dozens of times...

The gap between the two is completely a world!

How does this compare?

When thinking of this, the sense of absurdity in everyone's heart became heavier.

They find it ridiculous, and even feel that there is something wrong with their cognition.

Isn't it a joke to compare the box office of the two with movies that are not invested in the same level at all?

But,

What happened to that sense of anticipation in the first place?

Could it be that just because the screenwriter of this movie is Lu Yuan, does he feel that he is omnipotent?

He is also an ordinary person!

…………………………………

In fact, Lu Yuan doesn't care much about the box office anymore, as long as he can make money, it's good!

When the sun shone through the window in the room, Lu Yuan got up from the bed on time, but he was a little bit sluggish in spirit.

It's as if some otaku stayed in the room and watched some movies and did something that everyone likes to do, which led to depression.

"Early... so punctual today?"

"Oh, yes!"

"Didn't sleep well yesterday?"

"A little bit."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Yeah that's right."

Wang Jinxue originally wanted to wake Lu Yuan up, but found that Lu Yuan woke up very early today consciously.

Of course, Wang Jinxue noticed that Lu Yuan suddenly had dark circles under his eyes.

In the past two days, Lu Yuan was full of energy after waking up every day, but today it seemed completely wrong.

What is he worrying about?

It stands to reason that in two months, two movies were a big hit, and at the same time, the decoration of the new company was done, and the company was on the right track step by step...

It stands to reason that Lu Yuan's mood now should be as high-spirited as he was a few days ago!

Is it because the creation has encountered a bottleneck?

Wang Jinxue shook her head.

Lu Yuan is in pain!

He is uncomfortable!

He is sad!

After breakfast, he sat in the office in a daze...

The English textbook was placed on the table, and Lu Yuan studied it seriously, but he found that he couldn't read it...

He was suddenly at a loss.

Only salty fish and hard work are in his mind...

He felt that he faced a very difficult choice.

He found himself becoming a very tangled person.

The mind seriously fantasizes about all kinds of inspirations, but the body is extraordinarily honest and wants to be a salted fish.

This is so cheating!

A person like me who has no talent and refuses to work hard is really not good. Sooner or later, I will be eliminated by the world.

But I have 300 million, as long as I don't invest money blindly, I won't lose money, right? A steady sum. And I still have a lot of awesome movies in my mind...

But now I am the leader of a team! Many things have to be considered in many ways, right?

Lu Yuan is melancholy!

He finally opened the drawer that he hadn't opened for a long time, and took out a "red orchid" to draw a lottery to solve his troubles. However, after lighting the "red orchid", he found that he had fallen into an even worse in the midst of entanglement.

Should I smoke or not?

Nima...

To smoke, not to smoke?

There was only one thought in his mind.

Under this kind of entanglement, Lu Yuan watched "Honglan" slowly turn into cigarette butts like a fool...

Then……

He is miserable.

"Papa papa."

"Come in."

"Are you okay, do you have a cold?"

At this moment, Wang Jinxue pushed open the office door and brought over a cup of hot coffee.

She frowned, and she smelled a smell of smoke that she hadn't smelled for a long time.

Lu Yuan is smoking again?

Then, she glanced worriedly at Lu Yuan who seemed a little dazed.

It was the first time she saw Lu Yuan showing such an expression.

"I don't have a cold...it's pretty good..." Lu Yuan took a sip of the coffee and thought it was very mellow, but while drinking it, Lu Yuan focused on the coffee again.

This coffee is unsweetened and somewhat bitter.

I used to like drinking coffee with sugar, but now Lu Yuan has been drinking sugar-free coffee...

so……

Sweetened or unsweetened?

Thinking about it this way, the taste of this coffee is really wrong again, and it feels like it doesn't taste as natural as before.

My day!

"Is there something wrong with this coffee?" Wang Jinxue was very strange after sitting in front of Lu Yuan and watching Lu Yuan staring at the coffee.

"Hmm... Let me ask, is it better to add sugar or no sugar to coffee?"

"It depends on personal preference, um, mainly do you like sugared food or not?" Wang Jinxue was very surprised that Lu Yuan would ask this question.

"This... I can't say..." Wang Jinxue's seemingly simple words suddenly turned into a soul torture in front of Lu Yuan, making Lu Yuan unable to answer in an instant.

Lu Yuan found that the tangled seeds seemed to take root in his heart, and then spread like a virus.

"Ah?" Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan strangely, "Do you have any troubles now?"

"It's nothing to worry about... But, I feel that I might go to see a psychiatrist. By the way, do you know a psychiatrist?"

"I have studied psychology for several years, and I have relevant qualification certificates. If you have any troubles, you can tell me. Under normal circumstances, I can help you solve them." Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan.

"Well, I find that I can't find that kind of carefree happiness..."

"what?"

"I used to be a very happy person a year ago. At that time, I was very poor and I had no money. My biggest idea was to make money to marry a wife...and have a big fat boy..."

"And now?"

"Now that I'm rich, I can't find the happiness I used to have... I'm lost..." Lu Yuan raised his head at 45 degrees, as if he felt that his expressive ability was not very strong, so he put on his glasses again.

"Continue..." Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan.

"In fact, I have no ambitions. I never wanted to make such a large sum of money, and I never wanted to start a company, make a movie, or step into the entertainment circle..."

"Continue..." The corner of Wang Jinxue's mouth twitched slightly, but then there was no expression on her face.

"During this period of time, I found that money is just a tormenting number. In fact, I have no interest in money..."

"..." Wang Jinxue's breathing gradually became short of breath, especially when she saw Lu Yuan wearing glasses at forty-five degrees looking at the depressed look by the window, she found it difficult to maintain that cold expression.

Still, she held back.

"I'm actually not a good screenwriter, I don't know much about screenwriting, I'm not a real actor, and I don't have much talent... Except for being a little handsome and a little temperamental, I think I'm just an ordinary People..." Lu Yuan looked very deep, and his words were smooth, he felt that he had spoken out what was in his heart.

"Pfft!"

When Lu Yuan talked about his handsomeness and temperament, Wang Jinxue suddenly couldn't help laughing.

"Be serious...a psychiatrist...you are helping me with mental illness..." Lu Yuan blushed instantly when he heard Wang Jinxue laughing. gone.

This is very uncomfortable.

No matter how much he wants to brew that kind of emotion now, he can't brew it at all...

"Sorry, I've always been a very serious person... I just couldn't hold back just now... You continue, I'll listen carefully." Wang Jinxue also wanted to restore that aloof look, but when he remembered Lu Yuan wearing glasses just now, She couldn't hold back the deep pretense.

Yes!

I have to admit that Lu Yuan seems to be full of humor.

"Are you really listening?"

"I'm really listening, you continue, I'll analyze it for you..."

"I'm done talking..."

"Finished?"

"Um."

"Is there any result?"

"Pretend to be somethin syndrome..."

"What? Is this sick?" Lu Yuan became serious when he heard that Wang Jinxue suddenly picked up English.

This thing sounds...

Is it a serious mental illness?

"Well, that's roughly what it means. It's really serious. You have to receive treatment... Well, I'm going to do some work in advance... I'll help you treat it at noon..." Wang Jinxue smiled again.

"Okay, thanks." Lu Yuan nodded. After Wang Jinxue left, he imitated Wang Jinxue's voice and translated the English letters "Pretend to be somethin", then he clicked on the webpage...

Then……

He saw the word pretense.

and many more!

Pretentious syndrome?

? ? ? ?

How the hell do I look pretentious?

Am I a pretender?

I'm so...

clap clap.

Just as Lu Yuan was in a mess, there was another knock on the door.

"Come in……"

"That... Mr. Lu... I... I want to release an album, but the album lacks a title song, can you..."

"Forehead……"

After seeing Shen Zhiwei, Lu Yuan suddenly remembered that he seemed to let Shen Zhiwei dove...
