China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

"The winner of Best Actress is"

"Jingtian, congratulations!"

"Congratulations Jingtian!"

Jingtian stood up from his seat with a look of surprise on his face, then hugged the members of the "Embroidered Spring Knife" crew around him, and happily went on stage to receive the award.

He Hua was sitting in the front row, turning to look at her and applauding her happily. He had already been on stage, but instead of receiving the award, he was the presenter.

The winner of that award was also "Xiu Chun Dao", and the award he won was Best New Director, and Lu Yang won.

Jingtian excitedly received the trophy from director Ning Hao and actor Liang Jing:
"Thank you to the Shanghai International Film Festival, the organizers and the judges and teachers for recognizing me. Thank you."

"I would also like to thank the director of our drama, Director Lu Yang, and the producer, Boss He Hua, for choosing me to play "Xiu Chun Knife"."

"I would also like to thank my partners, Brother Yuan, Brother Yawen, and Xuanxuan."

Speaking of this, Jingtian felt a little embarrassed: "Did I thank you too much? I'm sorry!"

"Finally, I would like to thank all the staff who worked on the movie "Xiu Chun Dao". Because of you, we can bring such a good film to everyone."

"Thank you again to the judges and teachers for giving me this honor. I will continue to work hard in the future, thank you!"

"clap clap"

Applause rang out, and the host congratulated Jingtian again before moving the ceremony forward.

The Magic City International Film Festival was held this time. It cannot be said to be bad. At least it gave He Hua face. Although most of the award-winning films in the main competition section were foreign films, they managed to squeeze out two The award was awarded to "Embroidered Spring Knife" submitted by Youhua Company this time.

He Hua was embarrassed to pick up the bowl and scold his mother.

However, there are still some problems with the awarding of other modules. For example, in the new film section of the Movie Channel Media Awards, "Tiny Times" and "Youth" actually won the best film together. Guo Jingming also won the "Best Film Award" over a number of directors with professional backgrounds. New director', isn't this a joke?
Anyway, it was such a mess that Lu Yang was embarrassed to mention that he was also the 'Best New Director' at the Shanghai International Film Festival when he returned home, which was too embarrassing.

When Tian Hehua turned around and scrolled through Weibo, he saw a photo posted by Guo Jingming of himself holding a trophy, with the text: [There is no doubt that "Tiny Times" is a good movie]

Then he saw an interesting comment:

"I don't know if the movie is good or not, but your poster really looks like a studio photo (VIP set) on the street."

When He Hua thought about it, he almost laughed out loud, and then he gave it a thumbs up.

Unexpectedly, this behavior triggered a new round of scolding on the Internet.

In fact, the irony of this comment is not that strong, and He Hua’s personality of liking likes and making jokes is well known on the Internet. Most people will probably be delighted when they see the huge traffic brought by He Hua. Where else can he be? Care about this.

But Guo Jingming and his fans didn't want to let it go. A large number of fans flocked to He Hua's Weibo and asked him what his "like" meant in the morning.

"Why are you, a has-been director, taking advantage of the heat here? Day by day, you can't find problems in yourself. You have to take advantage of it."

"This is no better than the look in your movie. If you don't understand, don't say anything."

Guo Jingming even posted a picture with a picture to explain his intention, said a lot of messy and incomprehensible words, and even said hypocritically, "Maybe you didn't see it." '

Fans clamored for him to apologize.

However, He Hua has not been a vegetarian in his management of Weibo in recent years. His fans quickly scolded him back. Some of them carefully found some studio photos to compare with the posters of "Tiny Times", and then asked:

"What's wrong with that sentence?"

He Hua was also speechless. He wrote a short essay directly on Guo Jingming's attachment, sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph, and finally concluded:
"It's illogical and far-fetched. I don't know where you came from as a writer. Don't just plagiarize and take advantage of others. You should also improve your self-quality."

He is so determined to retaliate, even if it is a fan's behavior, he must be blamed on himself.

After the essay was published, Guo Jingming first deleted the previous article, and then uploaded a carefully prepared article shortly after. At the same time, he explained his previous behavior, saying that he wrote it when he was very irrational. He seemed a little incoherent, but unexpectedly, He Hua and the others grabbed hold of him (crying).
He Hua was speechless after watching it. He closed the web page and didn't want to pay attention to it anymore. "Tiny Times" hasn't been released yet, so he kept scolding them for not doing that stupid thing because it was not for them to gain popularity.

Just then there was a knock on the office door, and he shouted to come in.

It was Yang Ming who came to report on the screening status of "Xiu Chun Knife":

"We have also contacted each theater chain, and they assured us that they will try to maintain more than 35% of the film schedule before the end of the month. As for the beginning of July, they said they still want to see the performance of several films that will be released at the end of next month. And the main impact these films will have on us at the end of the month is ""Little Times"" he glanced at He Huacai and continued.

He Hua nodded calmly and asked curiously: "How many films are currently scheduled for "Tiny Times"?"

"It should be above 45%." Yang Ming is also very distressed: "They have a rebate promise for theaters. If it exceeds 40%, it will be one point more, and if it is 45%, it will be two points."

Coupled with the clear audience advantage of "Tiny Times" in this schedule and the appeal of the main creative team, the behavior of the theater can be understood.

Several theaters such as BJ Ziguang Cinema, Haixiangbao International Cinema and Tianjin Jiaying Cinema have even released 100% of their film schedules.

He Hua frowned at first when he heard this number, and then relaxed.

They couldn't control this kind of behavior even if they wanted to. However, although the record-breaking number of films released on the first day can make the film appear full of momentum, this kind of thing has its advantages and disadvantages. There are only so many audiences for the movie, and they cannot be asked to come in at the same time, so An overly large film schedule will also lower the theater's single-show revenue.When theaters see low single-show revenue, they will immediately consider adjusting the movie schedule to bring it back to a market-reasonable range.

The reality is just as Hua imagined.

"Tiny Times" was released on June 6. After the zero-point screening of 27 million, breaking the 670 million record set by "囧囧", it grossed 500 million at the box office on the first day, which surprised the industry and called it impossible.

Is this another billion-dollar film?After all, this result is comparable to the premiere results of "囧囧" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

Many companies in the industry are even more jealous. The total cost of two movies of this guy is more than 5000 million, and one is about 2500 million, and the money is paid back in one day.Not to mention the advertising placement in the movie.LeTV Pictures has found a cash cow.

But they soon learned that this movie was completely a fan film.

Normally, for a new movie released on Thursday, the box office in the second week is not much different from the first four days. Because it has the advantage of a full week, even works with better reputations will see a slight increase.

As for Guo Jingming's "Tiny Times", there has been an obvious decline in follow-up since the Monday of the second week, and the weekly box office in the second week has dropped to 1.1 million yuan. Compared with the first four days, of 2.3 million has dropped by about 50%.

This is the case for fan movies. The price will drop significantly after a few days of release. Moreover, it is also affected by word-of-mouth, making it difficult to attract a large number of viewers to watch the movie a second time.

Judging from the current cumulative total of 3.4 million and a 50% drop in weekly box office, I am afraid that the film’s landing point can only be around 4.3 million.

But this result is quite profitable for the cost of the film, so many companies in the industry quickly started to contact some young writers and prepared to 'help' them to become famous directors.

After all, for a director of Guo Jingming's level, he only needs to go to a directing class for three to five months.This week (7.1-7.7), in addition to "Tiny Times" which received 1.1 million yuan, there are also two relatively large-scale releases of movies, namely the romantic suspense police film "Blind Detective" directed by Johnnie To and starring Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng and Keanu... Reeves directed and starred in the action film "Man of Tai Chi".

The former ranked third with 6429 million yuan, while the latter was nearly 1400 million yuan.

This week's box office champion is still Lu Yang's "Xiu Chun Knife", with a box office of 1.3 million. The movie's box office officially exceeded 17 million yuan after 6 days of release, surpassing "China Partners" to become the runner-up in this year's box office rankings.

The movie has a high box office and a good reputation, which has brought considerable dividends to the creative team.

Apart from anything else, Lu Yang, a director with a major from Nortel, is far more popular than Guo Jingming. His "two years of hard work" has been recognized by many seniors. When chatting with everyone, he also told He Hua:
"Many seniors told me not to learn from you. Works need to be carefully crafted. They said that you are just too eager for quick success."

He Hua: "."

"I can shoot quickly and it won't delay me from winning the prize. These people are just too lazy to worry about anything."

In addition, those who reap the most bonuses are the male and female leading actors in the movie.

Of course, Jingtian just spent a lot of money. Anyway, her previous negative comments were wiped out. Various magazine advertisements and commercial endorsements came to her, and Lu Zheng revealed that Jingtian is likely to be in this year's event. Get another prize on the Golden Rooster.

Zhu Yawen sighed: "It's great to have money!"

Huang Xuan rolled his eyes at him and said sourly: "Stop talking. Don't think we don't know that you have caught the eye of a big director and will star in a big production."

Zhu Yawen giggled, neither admitting nor denying it. The final result hadn't come out yet, and he didn't want to make it known to everyone.

He Hua was well-informed and took a closer look at Zhu Yawen's appearance and build. Not to mention, he was perfect for playing the role of a People's Liberation Army soldier.

Zhu Yawen noticed He Hua's gaze and asked cheerfully: "Producer, what do you think our movie's final box office will be?"

"Probably between 7.2-7.5 million."

Zhu Yawen took out his phone and flipped through it, then said with a happy face: "That's good. Apart from the three billion-dollar movies on the box office rankings, we are next. It's good, good."

The highest grossing movie under 2 billion is Urshan's "Painted Skin 6.91" with a box office of [-] million.

He Hua shook his head. The movie market has been too hot in the past two years. No one knows how long these box office results can be maintained. There is no point in watching that.

"Xiu Chun Knife" has entered the late screening period, and at this time, the promotion work of "Super Body" is still in full swing.

Liu Yifei has participated in many foreign activities under the arrangement of China Film and WMA, and wants to increase her popularity abroad as much as possible.

They even took advantage of the news that the crew of "Legend of White Ghost" invited Liu Yifei to star some time ago to hype that Liu Yifei will collaborate with Nicolas Cage.

Unfortunately, they have had little effect, because Nicolas Cage is already a washed-up movie star in Hollywood. He still wants to stir up news for himself to gain popularity. How can anyone pay attention to him if he stirs up news?

After all, it is not as popular as Liu Yifei’s high-end luxury brand endorsements.

So later they simply teamed up with the high-end luxury brand Liu Yifei endorsed to shoot a new set of global advertising videos for her, which used some concepts and styles from "Super Body".

It costs a lot of money. If we want to keep it until the movie is released, it will be conservatively estimated to be 3000 to [-] million.

A group of people thought about it and realized that the previous 3 million had already been spent, so there was no need to save these tens of millions, so they simply chose to continue investing.

So Liu Yifei is very busy during this period. She basically travels all over the world to shoot commercials at national landmarks where "Super Body" will be released simultaneously. The commercials are going to be released globally at the end of July.

He Hua is not relaxed either. He is recording a talk show with Zhang Yimou to promote "Super Body" in China.

As soon as the recording ended, assistant Xiao Xu came over with his mobile phone.

"who?"

"Emperor Yang Shoucheng."

He Hua took the mobile phone and found a place with few people and dialed.

"Mr. Yang, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Hua Zai, I'm interrupting your work. There is someone who wants to talk to you. Unfortunately, he found me here."

Yang Shoucheng didn't mince words, he went straight to the point and stated his purpose.

He Hua asked curiously: "Who can actually invite you?"

"Director Li Min."

Limin?Why is he looking for me? I have nothing to do with him?He Hua had some doubts in his heart.However, he still wanted to get to know this person. Didn't he talk about his "Pi" before? He really wanted to meet such a master.

So he didn't refuse and directly said that he would greet her on BJ's couch.

After the phone call, Li Min didn't keep him waiting long. He went to BJ to contact him on the third day, and the two met in a coffee shop.

As soon as he met Li Min, he shook hands with him enthusiastically: "Director He, you are young and promising."

"Then I should say that you are getting stronger as you get older. I watched "Pi" and it was really good." He Hua responded with a smile.

"Especially the application of digital technology in movies. We have tried it initially in our own film this time, and I feel that we need to learn more from you."

Li Min was modest for a moment, and then the two chatted for a long time around the application of digital technology.

When the coffee was a little cold, He Hua took the lead and asked, "I wonder who you are looking for this time?"

Li Min pursed his lips: "I'm here to invite Director He to participate in this year's Golden Horse Awards."

"I also know that in recent years, many mainland filmmakers have some objections to the selection of the Golden Horse Awards, but these need to be corrected little by little."

"This year is the Golden Horse Awards. They have chosen me to be the chairman of this year's jury. I will try my best to make the judging objective and fair. I hope Director He can give the Golden Horse a chance."

As Youhua Entertainment occupies an increasingly important position in the mainland film industry, and the number of films produced every year is also increasing. If this force continues to be absent from the Golden Horse, it will have a heavy blow to the Golden Horse Awards.

Therefore, Li Min's trip was also the intention of Hou Hsiao-hsien and others, and the situation could no longer be allowed to worsen. (End of chapter)
