The popularity of La La Land continued. After six weeks of screening, it finally fell from the top spot at the box office.
The Christmas movie " True Love in the City " was relatively unsolvable.
Similar to Love Actually in his previous life, almost all the British All-Stars appeared on screen.
In addition, those who should have watched La La Land had already watched it several times.
This was also the general trend of movies.
Currently, La La Land's cumulative box office in North America had already exceeded 600 million. The global box office combined had hopes of exceeding 800 million USD!
If the movie could be successfully screened in the Dragon Country after the New Year, there might be a chance to hit the 1 billion USD mark!
No wonder the other film companies and directors were so jealous and wanted to slander Xuan.
After the new year, La La Land's Blu-ray and streaming resources were also released.
In addition to the sales of the OST original track and the copyright fees for the stage opera.
Just La La Land alone could support Infinite Pictures.
Usually, when a young director had such achievements, they would choose to take a break from acting temporarily and have fun for a while before coming out of retirement.
Xuan seemed to always be full of energy.
In just the second half of the year, he directed two movies and wrote and produced one movie.
Furthermore, he had publicly announced his plans for his third solo film!
The media was shocked.
Heavens, this young man was so energetic?
Hence, Luo Shengdu Times went to Infinite Pictures to interview Xuan.
Xuan happened to be talking about the new film, and both sides hit it off. They interviewed him in the reception room of Infinite Pictures.
Soon, the news of the Los Santos Times was released two days before the screening of The Silence of the Lambs.
"In the eyes of the public, Xuan has produced three movies this year.”
"But he suddenly publicly announced his new film plan!”
"In the interview, Director Xuan revealed that the new film will officially start shooting after Dragon Country's traditional Spring Festival.”
"We first talked about his upcoming film, The Silence of the Lambs.”
"The script was written by Xuan himself. According to the director David Finch, he didn't hesitate to direct the movie the moment he finished reading the script.”
"David Finch said that he was honored to direct such an excellent story.”
" This film tells the story of a female FBI agent intern who went to the prison to visit Dr. Hannibal, a psychiatrist, in order to pursue clues about a serial killer. She eventually killed the murderer.”
"The veteran actor Anthony Hopkins said that it's a blessing to be able to act in such an excellent film before retirement. He thanks Director Xuan for the opportunity.”
"Paranormal Activity's Elizabeth Olsen is working with Xuan again. She'll be playing the role of an intern agent.”
"The film will be released in the United States this Friday. Interested fans can go and watch this creepy suspense film.”
" As for Magic Chu's third film,'The Godfather', he hasn't revealed much information yet.”
"At that time, the Infinite Pictures crew will also go to New York to film. Xuan is trying to restore the style of New York in the 1940s.”
"A lot of movie fans are looking forward to it. Will this movie bring the gangster film craze to a new high?”
"At the same time, there have been many netizens questioning whether Xuan's 'Godfather' can still be a masterpiece like 'La La City'.”
Finally, the Los Santos Times concluded,"
"In his first two solo films, he proved himself in the midst of doubt.”
"In fact, as a 21-year-old Chinese director, Xuan naturally attracts many people's doubts.”
" People always question his directing and scriptwriting skills because of external factors such as nationality, skin color, and age.”
"But judging from the previous two works, Xuan can always make the doubters speechless.”
"I hope that his new work can also hit back at these people. I hope that the fans won't be disappointed.”
Just as the Luo Shengdu Times said, many people doubted Xuan for no other reason.
It was only because he was a Chinese citizen and his age.
No matter what kind of movie Xuan made, there would always be people picking it out.
If it was smashed, they would gloat."See, the people of the Dragon Country really don't understand Hollywood. They really can't make any good movies.”
If the film was a great success, these skeptics would find excuses.
For example, the previous director, Harvey Winston.
If Xuan started a verbal battle, he would be at a disadvantage.
As long as he focused on creating and continuously produced excellent works, he believed that the number of doubters would decrease and eventually disappear completely.
For such a young Chinese director to make a living in Hollywood, it was undoubtedly hell.
But Xuan had the confidence to fight his way out of hell!
……
Due to the report of the Los Santos Times, fans were very interested in The Silence of the Lambs, which was written and supervised by Xuan.
On the day of the premiere, many movie fans in the United States went to the theater to watch the movie.
Due to the popularity of La La Land and Paranormal Activity, Xuan's products had been proven by the market.
As a result, The Silence of the Lambs had a screening rate of more than 30% in all major cinemas!
From this, it could be seen that North American cinemas had sufficient confidence in Xuan.
And the performance of the movie did not disappoint the theater's trust.
"The Silence of the Lambs" had an average attendance rate of more than 57%. With the theme of a suspense movie, the attendance rate was already considered excellent!
If the word of mouth exploded later, the attendance rate might even approach 70%!
At the premiere of Luo Shengdu, Xuan and Elizabeth Olsen attended the ceremony.
The main cast, David Finch, Anthony Hopkins, Mandy Patinkin, and other leading actors were also present.
It was worth mentioning that the original actor, Scott Glenn, was too old to act in the film.
In the end, Xuan chose Mandy Patinkin, one of the leading actors of Homeland, the CIB leader Saul Berenson.
Other than Anthony Hopkins, the director, the female lead, and the supporting actor were all changed.
The Silence of the Lambs had already distanced itself from the original.
After watching the film, Xuan gave it high praise, but he wasn't sure if the North American audience would accept it.
The answer could only be revealed through the audience's voting with money!
Fortunately, the theater for the premiere was still full! It was hard to get a ticket!
The film critics and media reporters also came.
Everyone was curious. Would Xuan and David Finch, this strange combination, make a good film?
The lights in the theater dimmed and it was dark.
The screen flashed with the opening credits of Infinite Pictures.
Xuan's version of The Silence of the Lambs was officially released to the world!
