Chapter 159 Joint issue [two in one](1/2)

"This Man from Earth" entered the November schedule, and it took less than a month from filming to release. This speed made everyone feel crazy.

No one is as fast as Chen Tian, ​​even though it's just a small-cost video.

The November schedule is approaching the hottest Christmas schedule in the entire film market, which is the Christmas schedule from Thanksgiving at the end of November to Christmas.

Although the release date is not yet on Thanksgiving, the film market has gradually gotten rid of the sluggish fall schedule.

With the release of "The Matrix 3", this schedule will attract more attention from movie fans.

However, Chen Tian's "This Man from Earth" entered this period and was not optimistic. "The Matrix 3" is destined to seize most of the box office in the market in everyone's opinion.

Moreover, "The Matrix 3" is a real special effects science fiction blockbuster. The first two movies of "The Matrix 1" released in 1999 and "The Matrix 2" released in May this year have a total global box office of up to US$1.2 billion.

The global influence is at the top level, and the sales of VCD, DVD and related game products are also extremely popular.

"The Matrix 3" has attracted the attention of countless movie fans before it was released, and compared with such a real special effects blockbuster.

"This Man from Earth" was produced in just 7 hours, and the total cost of post-production took less than three days, and the cost of less than 100,000 US dollars looked like a joke.

It takes almost no time to think about it, and 90% of people will make a choice, that is, to choose between the two to watch "The Matrix 3".

The remaining ten percent are Chen Tian, ​​Natalie Portman's die-hard fans and some curiosity hunters want to see what "This Man from Earth" is.

Chen Tian was not surprised at all about this situation.

If this situation did not occur, Chen Tian would be surprised.

"Justin, no one is optimistic about us now." Scarlett Johnson waved the newspaper in his hand. The page was about the news about "This Man from Earth".

"I don't want them to be optimistic about me, I want them not to be optimistic about me.

It's better to associate us with The Matrix 3 every time, and I don't mind being used as a negative textbook.

If you don’t want free publicity, I’m just a fool.” Chen Tian said with a smile.

As Chen Tian thought, now whether it is the publicity of "The Matrix 3" in the newspaper or someone discussing "The Matrix 3" in the forum, some people will mention "This Man from Earth".

Subtle influence is equivalent to changing direction to "This Man from Earth" for promotion. Once "The Matrix 3" has the same reputation as later generations.

The box office crashed in the second week, and that was when "This Man from Earth" began to explode.

Chen Tian will discuss cooperation with Eric Lomis next time. As long as the negotiation is completed, Chen Tian will suggest that MGM do not forget to hold on to "The Matrix 3" for bundled promotion.

"When you go and see that little guy Edda later, she must miss you very much.

I will accompany you to go shopping in the afternoon. I will meet Eric later and talk about the release.

By the way, Nata wants to fly to Melbourne, why don’t you go and see her off.”

Scarlett glared at Chen Tian: "I know to see it without saying you. I will send it away. Nata, so don't worry. In fact, it's great to send it away. Keep fantasizing about the media. That will also be beneficial to publicity."

"Forget it, it's more important to do the job, I'll leave first." Chen Tian took the sample and went to MGM.

What Chen Tian didn't expect was that in the MGM screening room, Chen Tian actually met Tom Thorneberg and Nicky Rocco.

Because only Eric Lomis contacted him, Chen Tian thought that only MGM was interested in cooperating with him this time, but he didn't expect to meet people from Lions Gate and Universal here.

"Justin. Your expression was surprising. Don't you welcome us?" Tom Thorenberg said with a smile.

"Eric and Tom cannot compare, but I am new friends. I think you will definitely welcome us, right?" Nicky Rocco said.

Chen Tian laughed: "Of course it won't be unwelcome, but this is not my home court, this is Eric's place."

Eric Lomis spread his hands: "Although it's ours, you are our protagonist, and we all want to see the effect of the Miracle movie."

Chen Tian didn't think much about it and handed the sample to the staff.

All four of them sat down and the video was screened soon.

The poorly produced "This Man from Earth" made Eric Lomis and the others frowned. But thinking about it after seven hours of filming, I felt relieved.

The plot at the beginning is very simple and there is nothing too outstanding.

The hero John proposes to discuss the possibility of a person living from the Paleolithic Age to the modern era, and several professors begin to discuss this possibility.

Biology professors even proposed that this possibility exists from the aspects of the internal structure of the human body and body metabolism.

However, John didn't look like he was joking, and he kept giving his own explanations in the face of doubts.

Eric Lomis and the other three in the screening room were also disliked from the beginning and slowly entered the role of themselves as the audience.

From the beginning, I thought that Chen Tian’s film was based on a crazy foundation, I slowly followed the questioning of several professors in the film and thought.

At the same time, I also look forward to what kind of answer John will give in the film, and after John's answer.

Like the professors, they were wondering if John had seen it in the book.

Asked questions over and over again and again, they had already unconsciously determined that John was the one who had lived for 14,000 years.

They no longer questioned, but asked about things over the years.

John explained the landscape, history, religion, everything from the vast plains to the dangerous peaks of mountains, from Columbus to Jesus, everything was so reasonable.

This is what Chen Tian takes advantage of. Once the audience is substituted, they will think that this video is a wonderful video.

When the film came to the second half, when they were listening to it, the psychologists suddenly asked John to stop this boring lie.

John said something. The story ended.

Despite some regrets, both of them felt this was an excellent low-cost film.

But I always feel that something is missing, even though the past eighty minutes have made them feel that they have benefited a lot.

Just as their friends left one after another, the three of them also had a slight sense of "This Man from Earth".

This film is a great feature film, but they don't think the box office is too high.

It is impossible to reach at least 100 million unless there is any miracle.

If you contact Chen Tian and the New York Post's nude run bet, then Chen Tian's nude run is basically inevitable.

It was already in the last few minutes of the film, with John and Natalie Portman, played by Walz, standing outside the house and having a conversation.

Natalie Portman's heroine obviously believed that Walz had become popular in the 140th century. When John drove away, Natalie Portman finally decided to leave with John.

This ending seems too mediocre to them. It seems to be quite different from the exciting plot constructed from language at the beginning of the film.

This inevitably disappointed the three of them. In their opinion, Chen Tian should direct a very outstanding film.

Eric Lomis turned his head and looked at Tom Thorneberg and Nicky Rocco, and he thought they should have the same idea as him.

But then I thought that Chen Tian’s video only cost 100,000 US dollars, and it didn’t feel that bad after only seven hours.

At this time, Natalie Portman got into John's car, and psychologist Gruber saw a book falling from the ground.

When he opened the pages, his expression immediately changed.

The camera immediately gave a close-up. The photos and words on the pages clearly show: "My son Gruber, I will always love your father John Thomas Patty."

The photo shows a black and white photo of a family of three, looking very happy.

This sudden change surprised the three of them, if they thought this good video was ruined by the end before.

Then this unexpected ending illuminates the entire video, increasing the video from passing points to 9 points.

Gruber walked out of the house, and John Odom carried Sandy away under the dim light.

With extremely complicated eyes, Gruber, who was reluctant and entangled, looked at the car that was leaving.

The lens is gradually lengthening and the license plate is getting farther and farther away.

A tear flowed down from the corner of Gruber's eyes, and the car became farther and smaller.

Eventually disappeared and the screen turned into darkness.

The screen quickly re-lit up, and Eric Lomis reminisced about the entire video.

The final ending is enough to increase the box office of this film a lot, which is the biggest difference between a good ending and a bad ending.

It is this ending that makes all John said in the whole film true.

It is obviously difficult to understand the film once, and this ending makes those who like it want to figure it out and walk into the theater for the second or even third time.

Chen Tian was not in a hurry. He felt that they should be able to see the excellence of this video.

Eric Lomis clapped and exclaimed sincerely: "Justin, you are really worthy of Director Miracle!"

"Eric, you snatch my words. Justin is a real science fiction film. Its plot firmly grasps my heart." Nicky Rocco said in response.

He didn't have much anticipation for this video. All he wanted was to join Chen Tian and ask Chen Tian to help direct Global's "Master Key".

However, this film gave him unexpected surprises. In the era of special effects science fiction blockbusters, the appearance of "This Man from Earth" undoubtedly gave people another feeling.

This reminded him of "The Twelve Angry Man" decades ago. If nothing unexpected happens, it is not a fantasy to promote this film with a box office of more than 50 million.

However, the box office of 100 million yuan was not very likely to be Nicky Rocco. Tom Thorenberg on the other side had similar ideas.

“Justin, Nicky and I are here today.

I think you know what we are doing, and they are all for it." Tom Thorenberg pointed to the screen.

Chen Tian nodded: "Of course I understand, no matter who releases it.

I have prepared a distribution promotion plan, including two MVs I shot yesterday.”
