Chapter 149: Go to America

Nanyang Intersection International Airport, VIP waiting room, Du An is browsing his blog, with his notebook on the table in front of him, next to him was Shu Yu, and there were two strong men in black around him - these two were bodyguards hired from Leishi Preservation Company.??.?`

Leishi Preservation Company is one of the two top domestic security companies. When big stars from Xiangjiang come to the mainland to attend events, they usually seek services from this company. Therefore, the security personnel of this company have rich security knowledge and skills in dealing with media and fans. The two people around them have a daily employment fee of RMB 3,000 per person.

The page that Duane's notebook now opens is his blog, and you can see that the attention is more than 60,000, while before "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum" was released, the number was more than 30,000, and half of the attention was newly added because of recent news.

He opened the comments column of the latest blog post, and the comments in it are basically as follows: "Duan is so handsome", "What are you doing in the United States?", "I hate the ending of "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum", "When will "Terminator" be released?", "Do you have a girlfriend?", "I want to be with you"...

"You're writing too short."

Shu Yu, who was sitting next to her, was extremely bored and looked at his laptop screen and said this.

Looking around, some of Duane's blog posts were basically similar to the one just now, "I'm going to the United States". The short words are just two lines.

Duane stared at the comment and said, "I had nothing to say, what should I do for that long? There is no other website. If there is a website in the form of a short blog, I will definitely not use this website."

Speaking of this, he started talking to Shu Yuxian, "Oh, how about you tell me I'm going to build a website? Just like the short blog form I just mentioned, each item is allowed to say more than 100 words at most, and the name is thought up, and it is called a micro blog. At that time, he can also promote new movies in the future." In fact, when "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum" was released, he used his own blog to promote it, but the attention was too low and there was no effect.

Before Shu Yu could answer, he rejected his idea again. "Forget it, I don't have time at all."

He was so busy making movies that he was so busy that he had no time to go to a website?

After selecting a few interesting comments and replying, Duane turned off his phone and closed his notebook.?.?`When he looked left and right, there was a female passenger who was also waiting for the flight staring at him, so he smiled at the other party friendly, and the man smiled at him, as if he was encouraged by his smile, and walked up to him.

The two security guards' eyes immediately turned around, staring at the woman who was walking here for several times, confirming that there was no danger, and then cast a questioning look at Duan, indicating whether to stop him. Duan shook his hand.

After the female traveler came to Duane, she first glanced at the two security guards, and finally greeted Duane, "Hello, is it director Duane?"

"It's me."

"Very good!"

The female traveler suddenly became excited, "I like your movie so much, especially "The Pretty Beauty". I think that is the best love movie I have ever seen!..."

The woman was nagging and expressing her appreciation and love for Duane. Duane listened patiently and finally heard her make a request. "Can you take a photo together?"

"certainly."

Duane stood up cooperatively, and originally wanted to ask her if she needed to provide her camera, but the other party had already taken out a small silver-white digital camera from her carry-on bag.

Du An asked Shu Yu to help hold the camera and stand with the female fan. He obediently took a photo.

After getting the photo, the female fan's excitement still remained. After looking at Shu Yu, she asked nervously: "Is this your girlfriend?"

Du An waved his hand repeatedly, "No, this is my colleague. If you pay attention to the ending subtitles of "The Pretty Beauty", the producer who can see it should be called Shu Yu, which is her."

Then he felt relieved when he saw the female fan.

After chatting with the female fan for a few more words and signing her a name, the female fan went back to her previous position and sat down again.

Du An looked at the female fan, finally smiled, withdrew his gaze, looked at Shu Yu beside him, and sighed: "Fortunately, the troops were divided into several groups, otherwise it would be really troublesome if they took photos one by one.w?ww.`"

In addition to Africa, overseas releases at the same time, so their publicity lineup is divided into several teams, responsible for North America, Europe, Southeast Asia and Australia. The largest ticket store is North America, and at least one of Duane and Zhu Qian should go there. In the end, Duane took over here, so he is now preparing to go to the United States with Shu Yu. Others went to different regions, such as Zhu Qian, and went to Europe, with the first stop in France.

Shu Yu did not answer his words, but asked, "Do you have any ideas for the next movie?"

Duane shook his head, "The Terminator is not done yet. Moreover, after the Terminator is out of stock, I want to take a break for a while. I have been busy for the past two years and have not had time to do many things I want to do."

Shu Yu asked, "What do you want to do?"

“I’ve gone too much,”

Duane raised his finger and counted her: "You said I'm not much money now, and I can make a lot of money here again. The various personal assets are a little smaller than hundreds of millions. Is it reasonable to go out and take a taxi? So, when "Terminator" is done, the first thing I do is to take a driver's license and buy a car. This is the first thing I do."

"The second thing is that I have been making movies in the past two years, and I haven't had a good rest yet. I have never been to any other place except work, so I plan to find a place to travel and have fun after taking the driver's license. There is also the third thing, I recently invested in a movie, Ning Hao was the director, I was a producer, and I have to keep an eye on it when I have nothing to do..."

Shu Yu listened quietly to him and finally said, "When did you want to make a movie, tell me?"

Duan looked at the workaholic helplessly and asked, "Didn't your company invest in many movies? There are three films in it, so why just stare at me?"

"Those people all add up to the same amount of money as you alone, so I won't stare at you whom I'll go."

Although this was a bit suspicious of flattery, Duan still sounded very happy, but Shu Yu immediately made another turn.

"But it's better not to shoot movies like this in the next part, just shoot those before."

Duane nodded, "I didn't want to make a movie like this, but I just happened to be a little emotional at that time. In fact, I didn't want to make a movie halfway through the filming. However, I threw all the money in, so I had to finish it. It won't be a movie like this next time."

He also knew that although "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum" made a lot of money, the profit ratio was actually not as good as "Fengyue Pretty Beauty".

"Fengyue Pretty" invested 7 million yuan, and the promotional expenses were only 10 million yuan, but it exceeded 1.5 billion box office. But what about "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum"? 30 million yuan. The promotional expenses were 30 million yuan, and the total cost was 60 million yuan. This did not count the cost of their later marketing. The box office of "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum" is based on the current trend and the downward trend of box office, the global box office of over 1 billion yuan is basically stable, but it is difficult to break through 1.5 billion yuan.

The cost has increased so many times, but the box office is likely to be as high as "The Pretty Beauty". No wonder Shu Yu feels a little uncomfortable.

"It's better to be the kind that can be made into a series of movies,"

Shu Yu added two more points. "The advertisements must be implanted, and the surrounding areas must be sold well, like "The Pretty Beauty"."

The revenue of "Fengyue Pretty" is not only the box office, but also the peripheral products have made a lot of money: the original soundtrack of "Fengyue Pretty" has sold hundreds of thousands of copies, and has been selling well in the VCD and video tape markets, and these are all money.

Speaking of "The Pretty Beauty", Shu Yu thought of another question: "By the way, can "The Pretty Beauty" be filmed the second part?"

Du An shook his head without thinking, "I can't film for the time being, I have no idea." He thought about this question when he used "Terminator 2" to fool Su Yun. But he really couldn't find any idea - could he film the married life of Fang Buren and Qi Wei? Or did he film the breakup between Fang Buren and Qi Wei and then went through various difficulties and got back together again? This was not what he wanted to film. It felt like an old woman's foot binding, which was smelly and long. Not to mention the audience, he probably would have been smelly if he really filmed it.

The two talked and talked, and it was soon time to board the plane and got on the plane.

After more than ten hours of flight, the next day, the plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport at around 11 o'clock local time. When they entered the country, took their luggage, passed through, and left the customs. As soon as they came out, a voice shouted.

“ann!”

Du An looked in the voice and saw that it was a golden white girl with an excited face.

There were many people next to her, all gathered together, basically young men and women, black, white and yellow. In the crowd, some people held signs with the name "Du'an" written in Chinese.

It looks like he is his fan club?

"There are also people who pick them up in the United States? Isn't it said that their fans are more rational and no one watches the stars walk on the street?"

Du An couldn't help asking Shu Yu next to him.

He originally wanted to go to Europe, but he heard that the fans in the United States were more rational, and no one joined in the fun of celebrities walking on the streets. He was afraid of trouble and came to the United States. But he really didn't expect that he had never met someone who picked up the plane when he flew around in China. He actually encountered it as soon as he returned to the United States.

Judging from this situation, these people are simply more enthusiastic than the people of Nanyang City.

Shu Yu glanced at the crowd over there and said, "You don't think about it. You have been in China and it's rare to come to the United States once. Can they calm down? Your situation is pretty good. If you have nothing to do, you can know that Gong Li, Zhou Xingchi and others will not disclose their whereabouts when they come to the United States. Once they reveal their whereabouts, the number of people picking up the plane is much larger than that of yours. However, it is a good thing that someone picks up the plane, at least it means that you are still a little popular in the United States."

As they chatted, the fans had already gathered around and shouted Duan's name loudly - he was able to understand this by poor English skills, and he could understand some simple words such as "I love you".

At this time, the role of the two security guards hired for money is reflected.

They dutifully blocked the fans and prevented them from getting too close, while Duane walked out quickly with Shu Yu.

Fans chased after him all the way. Du An was also a little moved to see these people so enthusiastic. He stopped and picked a few people, and signed the photos they handed over. It was at this time that he realized why a director was so popular. The photos handed over by these people were still photos of him on "The Pretty Beauty", which were made by DreamWorks, and he was so handsome on it.

It turns out that he is gaining popularity in the United States as an actor.

After signing the autograph, he shouted to these people a few more words of his poor English, "ilove temptation! i1oveame day ca!", which caused another scream at the scene.

The people around the airport lobby who were not sure of the truth looked here and didn't understand what happened. Du An and Shu Yu quickly met with their pick-up staff here and got in the car and left. (To be continued.)
