China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

"First of all, congratulations to Director He for winning the jury award."

"Thank you!"

"I see you are quite calm. Did you expect that you would win the award?"

"How could it be? It's nothing. The purely exciting time has passed, and now that everything has settled, I feel very relaxed."

""One Day Tour" seems to be just a game that you completed in a short period of time. It seems that it only took less than half a year from the beginning to the end."

"Well, no, the short time does not mean that we are not serious. You know that inspiration sometimes bursts out in an instant. To be able to complete it so quickly can only be said that we have a very good production team and a large number of good actors."

"Does the theme in the movie stem from your thoughts on love?"

"I hope that my relationship will have a good outcome, but there are still decades to come, and it is difficult to guarantee that a person's emotions will remain consistent for such a long time. "A Day Trip to Dreams" can be regarded as a warning to myself. .”

"I see that you rarely participate in some domestic awards, such as the 'three gold medals' that are more recognized by everyone. Can you tell me why?"

"I personally and the team definitely want to be recognized by some awards, but in the current film environment, it is difficult to say whether the reason for your award is the quality of your work or something else. Well, when I am more mature, I may participate."

After the award ceremony dinner, He Hua accepted an exclusive interview from Xinlang Entertainment without stopping.

He was in a good mood. After all, he had won an award, and the winning films at the Cannes Film Festival would be marked with the country they belonged to. He could be considered to have brought honor to his country.

In addition, receiving this award will also greatly benefit other aspects of the work.

Putting aside the announcement of the movie, Yu Hong was greatly relieved by the increase in quotations from several major film studios the next day. The company had set performance targets for her before she came here.

In the past, the prices offered by European film producers were all around 200 million euros, but now some companies have offered 300 million euros. Yu Hong feels that there is still room for the price to rise, and is ready to argue with them again to try to break through to 400. More than [-] euros.

There are also North American film producers who were very aggressive in lowering the price before, but now they are relaxed. Yu Hong reported to He Hua and tried to negotiate US$250 million.

Although the number doesn't sound good, as long as it's affordable, He Hua doesn't care.

The domestic companies and crew who had not yet left were instantly red-eyed when they heard this rough figure. They knew that the cost of "A Day Trip" was only 5000 million yuan. The sale of overseas copyrights alone could make the film's investment company How can they not be jealous after making a lot of money?
But there is nothing they can do no matter how unwilling they are, the reality is so cruel.

"The prices in the several areas we sold before were a bit low, so we should wait." Yu Hong said with some chagrin at the work summary meeting the next night.

"Who knew we could win the award? So many film critics and event journals are not optimistic about it. You have already done a good job. Let's work harder for the next sprint." He Hua is very open to this award. It was a bit of luck, so there was no need to dwell on what happened before. He continued to encourage everyone.

At present, "Good Dream Day Tour" has sold the rights in 14 countries/regions, with a cumulative revenue of 720 million US dollars, and now their goal is to strive for more than 1500 million US dollars.

After the meeting ended, He Hua stayed for a while and waited for everyone to go out before saying to Yu Hong:
"We will leave for home tomorrow, and the rest will be left to you. If you have any questions, please call us anytime."

"Okay, Mr. He."

At the exit of the Capital International Airport, a group of reporters carrying guns and cannons have long been blocked here, waiting for the main character to appear.

"We've been waiting for more than a day, isn't he going to play there for a while?" A middle-aged reporter paced back and forth irritably next to his photographer partner.

"Probably not. The movie will be released the day after tomorrow and he won't come back to see it? Is he so worried?" The photographer comforted his colleague: "If we wait one more day, if it doesn't work, we will withdraw."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a few people dressed inappropriately coming out from a distance. They had caps, masks, sunglasses, no matter who they were, they gathered around to talk.

"Old Wang, hurry up, come out."

He greeted his colleagues and rushed forward with his things. The middle-aged reporter was not slow in his movements and rushed forward immediately. The rest of the team also quickly started moving.
When I got closer and looked carefully, I saw that Liao Fan, Yan Bingyan, and He Hua were the crew of "One Day Tour".

He Hua, who had just been chatting and laughing with Liao Fan, suddenly had a headache when he saw this battle.

Well, what can he say? This is what the Youhua propaganda department wants, and he has to cooperate.

He Hua looked at his surroundings and spoke before the reporter was about to ask questions: "Let's find a place that won't affect others. Don't block other people's roads in public places."

Half an hour later, He Hua and others were interviewed by reporters:

"Director He, what do you want to say after winning the Jury Prize in Cannes this time?"

"Director He, there is news that the overseas copyright sales of "One Day Tour" have been quite good. Can you tell me more about it?"

"Director He, what are your goals for the next collaboration with director Yimou on "Super Body"?"

"I heard that a European and American production company wants to buy the remake rights. Is it true?"

He Hua pressed it with his hand: "Come one by one, we have enough time."

"I've said all the acceptance speeches I want to say. Oh, by the way, I'll add a few more words to thank my family for their support, especially Ms. Liu Yifei."

'Hahaha' there was a burst of laughter.

After easing the tense atmosphere, He Hua carefully said some useful information:

"The remake rights are real, but the details are still being discussed. The same goes for the sale of copyrights. I don't know yet. The specific information will not come out for a while."

Well, after talking for a long time, there was only a handful of useful information. Of course the reporter on the scene was not willing to:

"Director He, the summer release of "One Day" has to face many Hollywood movies. Are you confident about the box office?"

Well, when it comes to this, He Hua's confidence is really not that great. After all, he has to face so many strong opponents. When he saw this schedule for the first time, he frowned so much that he could kill a mosquito. Although he has taken it now Award, but the situation is not optimistic.

Farther away, "Avengers", released in early May, has grossed 5 million at the box office as of today, making it a box office giant.

Liam Neeson, who became famous all over the world with "Taken", brought "Werewolf", which took in nearly 2000 million box office in a week despite the pressure of "Avengers".

Not to mention several recent masterpieces.

Will Smith's "Men in Black 5" was released on May 25. It grossed 3 million in the three days of its first weekend, surpassing "The Avengers" to win the next week's box office championship. It entered the second week of business, although there was a slight decline. , but looking at the box office curve, I’m afraid the results will rise slightly.

Tomorrow, on the 31st, the acclaimed masterpiece "Hugo", which has received 11 Oscar nominations, will also be released in the mainland market.

Also on the day of the release is Julia Roberts' big IP "Snow White and Mirror Mirror"

In addition, there are several animated movies to be released in early June.

June 6st "The Pirates" and "Submarine 1"

"Madagascar 6" on June 8th.

A total of 6 Hollywood movies, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a death schedule.Although he was worried in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face, so He Hua said firmly:

"I think the box office is fine. There are still many audiences who support domestic films."

"How much do you think the box office will be?" The reporter did not let him go and continued to ask.

They just want a title to hype up, rather than really caring about domestic movies. He Hua sighed slightly in his heart and said:

"After all, "A Day Trip" is not a purely commercial movie. I think the box office is 2 million. 2 million would be considered a success."

The box office revenue of 2 million, not counting overseas copyright sales, has paid off, so his goal is not to lose money first.

The 2 million achievement was nothing exciting. The reporter was a little reluctant and turned around, hoping to get more exciting answers from Liao Fan and Yan Bingyan:

"Liao Fan, how much do you think the box office can be?"

"Ms. Yan, was there anything interesting that you found during the filming of the movie?"

Faced with the strong popularity of imported films, He Hua and others, who had just returned to China, immediately embarked on the road of film promotion.

Although "One Day" has attracted a lot of traffic with the help of the big news and award-winning news of the Cannes International Film Festival during this period, in order to obtain as much box office as possible, road shows and various announcements are still arranged On.

There is no way. These days, "Titanic 3D", "Super Ship", "Avengers", and "Men in Black 3" are about to increase their market share in the second quarter to more than 80%. Ning Hao's "The Golden Age" "Robbery", Huang Xiaoming's "Every Man", and Guan Hu's "Killing" can't make a splash in front of them.

Domestic films were defeated.

The people at the film bureau couldn't sit still for a long time. Han Sanping called him three times a day. He urgently needed a domestic film to be released now to boost the audience's confidence in domestic films.

The other thing is to try to pull back the share as much as possible. Even if the second half of the year is the period when domestic films will concentrate their efforts, it won’t be too far off.

Uncle Ge rarely participates in such activities, so the work now basically falls on He Hua, Liu Bei, Yan Bingyan, Liao Fan and others.

He Hua went home on the night of the 30th to rest for a night, got tired of his girlfriend, and then started working non-stop.

"We are still following the same promotion path as "33 Days of Love". This time we will not only share love, but also all aspects of relationships. Finally, we will vote on Weibo to find the story that gets the most votes and touches everyone the most. We will set various settings. kind of reward.”

It proved that if a routine is successful, of course we must continue to replicate its success, so Yang Ming's publicity team soon arranged various interactive communication activities similar to those before.

In addition, TV programs are used for promotion, and Youhua has many resources in this regard.

"Has the offline road show been arranged?" He Hua asked a question that he was more concerned about.

"Come out." Huang Lan handed over several stapled A4 papers.

He Hua took it and looked down. Although he had prepared himself mentally in advance, he was still shocked by the number of cities on the form:

"Why are there so many this time?"

Huang Lan was also a little embarrassed, but she still had to explain:
"It just looks like there are many, but there are not many actual roads, and most of them are in northern cities. You know the influence of Teacher Ge You in the north. We must do our best to tap the potential."

He Hua took a look and found that there were indeed many northern cities, including Taiyang, the provincial capital of their hometown.

Huang Lan followed the position of his fingers and said: "Look, it only takes more than three hours from Tai Y to West A on the expressway. These are short distances, so the burden on you is not that heavy."

He Hua reluctantly put away his plan: "Okay, that's it."

Hurry up and finish it. After finishing it, he has to hurry up to join the group of "Super Body", and they are already urging him.

"One Day" was released as soon as it won the award. It was launched without enough time for publicity. It can only be said that it was just the right time. The market really needs the voice of domestic movies now.

Since we don’t have time, we might as well just do the premieres, media venues, and screenings together.

Wanda International Cinema was chosen for the premiere ceremony, and there were many guests in attendance.

On the one hand, this is He Hua's award-winning work after all, so of course everyone should support it; on the other hand, Han Sanping made several phone calls and called many bosses to come to the scene to support it.

Han Sanping himself came over in person to build momentum for the film, and Ren Zhonglun, Yang Shoucheng, and Wang Xiaowang also came over to support it. The main reason was that they had invested in the film, otherwise who would come over to make wedding dresses for others.

When the boss comes, the stars below will naturally catch wind of it and come.

Xiao Ming brought his girlfriend Da Baobei over. He was probably really interested in helping his girlfriend expand her network.

In addition, there are Feng Shaofeng, Sha Yi, Bobo Group, Zhang Hanyu, Du Chun, Jia Nailiang, Sister-in-law and so on.

These are all owned by Huayi.

The only regret is that director Xiaogang didn't come.

He Huadu thanked him many times at the award ceremony, but... alas!
The Emperor also came with many people: Li Keqin, Cai Zhuoyan, Ku Juji, Yong Zuer
Well, without Ting Feng, these people really don’t have much status in the film industry.

Finally, there is the vote of Youhua: the leader is naturally Liu Yifei, she is a non-staff member.

Yang Mi, Wang Kai, Chen Xiao, Luo Jin, Zhang Jianing, Zhang Ruoyun, Song Yi, Chen Xiaoyun, all the popular niche stars, directly overwhelmed the Huayi stars.

Maybe this group of people don't have enough status in the circle, but their popularity is firmly in hand. I didn't see the cheers of this group of people when they came out instantly rising by more than ten decibels.

Huang Xiaoming was really unhappy. He ran to He Hua and complained:
"If you have suitable works, think about your brother. My status as the number one brother in the Mainland is almost no longer guaranteed."

He Hua almost burst into laughter at that time. He didn't know whether he was teasing him intentionally or he really thought so. He could really nod his head: "There will definitely be a suitable one for you!"

"my girlfriend"

"Sissi called me, I'll go over first."

"."

The media at the scene were really happy. With so many interviewees, they didn’t have to worry about no news in the next half month.

"Yifei, can you briefly tell us the story of "Super Body"?"

"Ah Sa, will you cooperate with Director He in the future?"

"Mimi, Kaikai, can you tell me about your current relationship status? Are you getting married soon?" (End of Chapter)
