"Martin is really lucky!"

Sitting quietly in the chairman's office on the top floor of S1 firm, Van Lunding was playing with an expensive limited-edition pen in his hand and said to McGee, the chairman of the firm in front of him.

McGee looked at Van Lunding with a smile, with no expression on her face looking at her employees.

Although Van Lunding has a contract with him, he has to face it with such a top global director.

"It seems that Mr. Van Lunding has felt dangerous when Ellie's child grows up!" McGee smiled.

Van Lunding immediately snorted coldly, his face full of indifferent expressions, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He still remembers that Ellie joined her crew three years ago and became the strongest production of S1 firm as a newcomer, and even the heroine of the magic movie that was the strongest production in the world.

That was the biggest failure of S1 firm and also his biggest failure of Van Lunding.

Because they care too much about special effects, the latest special effects production technology was introduced, but they encountered the problem of playback when they were released. Because the movies they made could not show their special effects on 80% of the previous generation movie screens!

No cinema will update equipment for a movie. Naturally, this leads to the complete inconsistency of the expectations this movie has caused to the audience and the final performance effect. The huge gap has made the movie receive countless bad reviews!

And Fan Lunding, the director who made his fortune by literary and artistic films and won numerous awards, has fully utilized his literary and artistic characteristics in this film, and made a philosophical and artistic film that was expected to be the hottest selling commercial film in the world, making it a mixed reputation and criticism. Almost few people can understand the profound meaning of it!

This did not bring any benefits to the movie at all. The mixed race between commercial and artistic films not only affected the box office, but also affected the reputation of the movie, allowing Van Lunding to spend his only one year without any film awards!

The box office is not good, the reputation is not good, and almost everyone has to admit it. S1 firm fell into a big frustration.

Even at that time, countless people predicted that S1 firm would fall into the position of the world's number one firm!

However, the final result is that s1 firm not only did not decline, but developed more perfectly!

Because, in this almost useless movie, a girl's performance not only became the only highlight, but even supported the entire movie to a certain extent!

She is the one who has become the heroine of the movie using unknown means!

Van Lunding sighed in her heart.

In his home, the trilogy script of up to 1.6 million words is still placed in his safe, but it is no longer possible to take it out in his life.

"Next month, Mr. Van Lunding and Ellie's movies will be released at the same time?" McGee asked. "I really want to see what a wonderful chemical reaction will be caused by the showdown between the first director and the first idol in the office!"

Van Lunding subconsciously clenched his fists, "Elie is not just good at acting skills. The director's talent is not bad either, but some things cannot be accomplished overnight."

A confident look appeared on his face. But McGee read a little panic from his eyes.

"Think about your situation well, idiot!" McGee said to himself, "What number one director? You can only be the first one, right? Don't listen to me? Humph, you insist on not listening. Now I have the big card Ellie in my hand, I want to see how long can you hold your noble head in front of me!"

...

"Ally, the movie "Space Odyssey" has not been released yet, and the global attention to aviation has increased by 30 percentage points. Even the Aviation Administration called to express his gratitude!" Martin said with a smile.

The petite loli beast girl wearing a black long dress nodded calmly, "This is just the beginning. What I hope is that everyone can truly start their own space navigation and space exploration, and ultimately, more connections with other planets so that more people can see my works."

Martin laughed, "Ally, you are really good at joking. The Aviation Administration has not been able to find traces of aliens for so many years. It is obvious that there are no aliens in this world."

The beast girl Ellie was too lazy to explain anything to him, shook her head and immediately said, "No matter what these are, let's calculate how much the box office might be this time. The investment this time is too little, and too many plots have been deleted. I don't want this to be the case next time."

Marting immediately smiled bitterly.

If there is still little investment in this movie "Space Odyssey", then there is really no movie in the world that can be considered too much.

A total of 5 billion investment has always been one of the important promotional points of this movie. This number has never appeared in the entire history of film!

He couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Ally, you are a new director after all. If this movie fails, it will be doomed. No matter how you look, you don't seem to be worried at all?" Martin asked curiously.

Anyone would be shocked if he had a five billion investment. It was already amazing that Ellie could finish the movie quietly. Now she was not worried about the box office at all. Instead, she was thinking about how much investment she could get next time. This mentality was not something Martin could guess.

"My first movie was invested in three million, with a box office of two billion. I have enough time and investment for this movie. Why do you think I will lose money?" Ellie asked.

Martin naturally couldn't answer, it was because you didn't have any good fortune in the previous movie, so I wouldn't worry.

Of course, I could only smile and stop talking.

But if you think about it carefully, considering Ellie's strength, she subconsciously felt more confident.

After all, with the low reputation of Van Lunding's magical film, he used the theme and background of this movie to create a low-cost romantic comedy for a second time and achieved a box office of more than 2 billion with his debut work. No matter how you think about it, it can be described as a miracle.

"Hope, Ally, you can create miracles this time." Martin said with a forced smile, "By the way, director Van Lunding's comeback will be released at the same time as you!"

"So what?" Ellie shook her head, "He has been unable to do it for a long time!"

"This movie definitely won't work!"

Just as Ellie was drawing the conclusion, Van Lunding also made a conclusion for her movie, "Science fiction movies, and this kind of hard science fiction movie, have never been easy to sell in the film market! And the most important thing is that she wrote, directed and acted by herself! Do you know what this means? In a movie that should be full of serious scientific spirit, a very unpleasant little girl's face will appear in it!"

Van Lunding was even unhappy in watching the sample sent by Martin, so she said directly, "If she had changed the protagonist, I would have had some expectations for her box office. Humph, her age is already destined to be her narrow acting path. I want to rely on her idol effect to increase the number of moviegoers? She thought there were so many idiots on this planet!"

"Wait, after a month, her miserable appearance will definitely be more exciting than her movie!"

Some remarks were originally said at home and at the assistant, but they were inexplicably stolen by those ubiquitous paparazzi, and the next day, they were published in the newspaper.

"Van Lunding sentenced to death in "Space Odyssey". Rookie director Ellie is in sight?"

"The top ten reasons for the failure of "Space Odyssey" are analyzed by the well-known director Van Lunding himself!"

"Does a successful idol mean a successful director? Ellie's new film is imminent, and the storm is on the rise again!"

People become famous and have many troubles, but after becoming famous, Ellie, a new star who has not declined but has become more popular, has naturally become the focus of everyone's attention.

Rookie directors, plus the special theme of science fiction, are the existence of countless topics.

At this time, the influence of Fan Lunding's few casual conversations on public opinion is obvious.

Ellie has many fans. Since Ellie's debut on the screen, she has become her loyal fan and has a deep relationship with Ellie.

They fought with people on the Internet again and again. Although they were extremely tough, they could not compare with the number of opposition parties. They failed again and again, and were still defeated until the eve of the movie's release.

There is no way, everyone's reason tells them that Ellie will definitely not succeed!

In this case, the movie was released.

"The box office of 3.5 million..." Fan Lunding looked at the pitiful number and immediately laughed.

The sympathetic movie he directed had reached a box office of 80 million at this time, and it was definitely not a problem to exceed 200 million in a day. At this time, "Space Odyssey", which has always been at the center of public opinion, actually had a box office of 3.5 million!

"She's dead!" Van Lunding snorted coldly.

As he said that, he turned around and returned to the house.

There will be a reporter coming to interview him later. How should he express his regret for the box office failure of "Space Odyssey" with a tactful attitude? This is a question that needs to be thought about.

However, he never expected that the first question when the reporter came was that he was stunned.

"Director Van Lunding, what do you think of "Space Odyssey"'s box office of over 100 million in five hours?" (To be continued)
