Chapter 1006: Xiangyang has no face

"Xiang, I almost forgot that I can find a way to advance you the share of Time and Space."

Little John just glanced at the document that Bi Shafer handed to the Xiangyang couple, and an idea came to him.

When the project of "Time and Space" was first launched, Hermès Film Investment Company took the lead in participating.

It's not just Hermès, but also Chanel's film division.

The total box office exceeded 5 million, which is certainly not considered a super high box office in the global film market when converted into US dollars.

But the returns far exceeded expectations.

This return does not come from just the field of film.

The fashion topics created by the movie itself and the outstanding performance of brands such as Hermès, Chanel, and Van Cleef & Arpels in cooperation with "Time and Space" are what are most worth talking about.

Among them, both the characters played by the heroine Liu Qianqian and the hero Qin Hao are constantly wearing fashionable products, and the "old money" style that cannot be hidden on the hero's father Wang Zhiwen seems to be one of the characters in the movie.

It is conceivable that the several brands that jointly invested in "Time and Space" will be exposed in Asia in a short period of time.

“The company doesn’t have much money.”

Xiangyang waved his hand as if he knew what Little John was going to say.

He had also paid attention to the accounts of Hermès Film Investment Company, and the expenses of new projects such as China and Hollywood were also huge.

In order to get 300 million euros in advance, the company paid in advance.
"Chanel and Van Cleef & Arpels are rich." Little John smiled, but he had no intention of paying for it himself.

Chanel, Van Cleef & Arpels and Hermès invested in the same proportion.

They were the ones who rushed to take advantage of us in the first place, and there are other collaborations coming up later. If they can't even help with this small favor, do we still want to cooperate with them in the future?

"Don't worry. With my relationship with Persia, I will be able to get the money for you before the celebration party of Time and Space at the latest." Little John said confidently.

"Are we going to hold a celebration party?" Xiang Yang frowned and subconsciously glanced at Liu Qianqian beside him.

Hasn't it been done already?
"What we actors do ourselves doesn't count." Liu Qianqian smiled and shook her head.

Before the two of them could have a deep conversation, they heard Little John say proudly, "Do it! Of course we'll do it!"

Not only he is going to do it, but China Film, Bona Film Group and Guangguang Film Group, as the film's investors, producers and distributors, have been eager to hold a grand celebration party in China to celebrate "Time and Space", a film that has achieved great success in both word of mouth and box office.

In a period when the "billion-yuan club" was still regarded as the key to the success of a commercial film, "Time and Space" grossed more than 3 million yuan at the domestic box office, went abroad, and sold the rights to the remake to Hollywood.

How can there be no celebration banquet?

What's more, others have done it when the box office has exceeded 5 million, but you haven't done it even though the box office performance is around million. What will other people in the circle think?
"If you say so, I understand." Xiangyang was full of gratitude for Little John's reminder.

After the release of "Time and Space", Xiang Yang, who was busy with his own affairs, paid little attention to the success of the movie starring his wife, except for paying attention to the brand marketing of the movie.

However, this can't be entirely his fault.

With the rapid development of the domestic film market, after "Tangshan" became the first film to break the 5 million box office, "Lost in Thailand" raised the box office of domestic films to 10 billion in just two years.

Subsequently, domestic films breaking 20 billion, 30 billion, 40 billion, and 50 billion yuan set various box office records like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

As of 2022 alone, there are nearly 10 Chinese and foreign films that have broken the 70 billion threshold in China.

If you see this kind of information too much, you will naturally become desensitized to it.

"Let's decide on the time for the celebration party as soon as possible." Xiang Yang, who had figured out what mistake he had made, suddenly said to Little John.

"Ah."

"Ok?"

A voice of doubt followed by a voice of affirmation was heard.

Without wasting time on Little John, Xiang Yang turned to Liu Qianqian and said, "Wife, you don't think I'm not qualified to attend your celebration party, do you? I made a cameo appearance in the movie."

"." Liu Qianqian couldn't help but looked at Xiangyang with disgust.

"Don't worry, my trip was not in vain." Xiangyang took advantage of the situation and still acted like a good boy.

Fortunately, making a dress for my wife to wear to a celebration party is not like a movie celebration poster, where you have to put out a poster every time you reach a certain level.

Otherwise, the sewing machine will really start to smoke.

"."

Hearing this, Liu Qianqian looked at Xiangyang speechlessly again.

The little bit of pride that arose when mentioning the movie's box office suddenly dissipated.

It's all strange.
She was in a teasing mood and glared at Little John fiercely.

All of this was discussed between the two of them.

During the filming of "Midnight in Paris", Xiang Yang and Little John, who were the film's costume directors at the time, made cameo appearances without even a full face.

As a staff member of a film, it is common to occasionally serve as a background board.

Not to mention that Liu Xixi didn't notice it, even fans who have watched the movie repeatedly would probably find it difficult to find the scene where the two people walked together in the movie.

There is no need to elaborate on "Time and Space".

The scene in which Xiang Yang, Little John and Karl Lagerfeld made guest appearances is still talked about by her fans.

The topic of "Xiang Yang is a jealous person" was once brought up by the fearless crowd during the question-and-answer session at the roadshow when the main creators of the crew participated in the promotion.

How to answer this question?

Qin Hao held the microphone and could only smile awkwardly.

As he joked later, the onlookers were enjoying the meal, but he was sweating coldly at the time.

Liu Xixi is about to start filming "Prometheus".
Sorry, Xiang Yang’s appearance in this movie is no later than Liu Qianqian’s.

He is one of the leading actors in the Prometheus trailer!

In other words, no matter what achievements the "Alien" prequel series makes, he will have something to say.

Liu Qianqian suddenly realized what was happening and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Don't let your imagination run wild." Xiang Yang interrupted Liu Qianqian's wild thoughts.

After being together for so long, how could he not know what his wife is thinking?
Even though Liu Qianqian seems like a person who has not grown up when it comes to children, she has not yet perfectly integrated into her new role.

But she is as serious as ever about her work.

"I owe all this to you."

Hearing Xiangyang's comforting words, Liu Qianqian stared at him and said, "I am relying on you." That's right, whether it is the endorsement resources or the film and television resources that she has got now.

Without exception, all the credit goes to Xiangyang.

This, she admitted.

Although she is confident in acting.

But in the film industry, "acting skills" are not the only thing that matters.

And when it comes to acting, there are many actresses in China, not to mention abroad, who are better than her in acting.

But they never thought that they would get such a development platform in this way.

In other words, although she has already proven that she has box office appeal, she also clearly knows that she still has a lot of room for improvement.

"Nonsense, I'm not some 'billion-dollar actor'." Xiang Yang paused and said seriously, "People who buy tickets to watch the movie don't care whether I have a cameo in the movie. At best, I just want to have some fun."

In order to add some credibility to his words, Xiangyang touched Little John with his foot under the table.

"Tell me, does what I said make sense?"

Little John, who didn't quite understand what he heard, nodded as if he understood.

It doesn’t matter what Xiangyang and Liu Qianqian are talking about.

Nodding, you can't go wrong.

On the other side, the airport in Bangkok.

During the period before Xiang Yang's private plane arrived, the fans who came with visas on arrival in the past two days seemed to confirm that what Xiang Yang said about this matter was true.

There were not many people, only about a hundred or so.

After all, not all fans are rich and have time.

Liu Xixi is coming to Bangkok to visit the set of "Lost in Thailand" starring Huang Bo and Wang Baobao, and will also promote "Time and Space" locally.

This news has not been confirmed by Liu Xixi's studio at all.

The scene in Bangkok and the reaction from the "Lost in Thailand" crew alone are enough to prove that the news is true.

After finishing the roadshow of "Time and Space" in China, how many days has it been since Liu Qianqian, who attended the Paris Fashion Week, appeared in front of the domestic public?

Liu Xixi's fans are counting on their fingers.

It's not that I have nothing to do.

As her fans, they all know that Liu Qianqian, whom they like and support, will soon join the cast of a big Hollywood production.

It's possible that after this departure, it may not be certain when he will show up again.

In order to seize this rare opportunity, fan groups in provinces close to Bangkok organized this event.

At least, don't let Liu Qianqian, who is here to participate in the promotional event, feel left out.

But they really underestimated the influence of their idols.

"Liu Xixi, a Chinese superstar, is about to arrive in Bangkok and go international with the movie "Midnight in Paris""

"Time and Space" is a big hit in Southeast Asia, Liu Xixi was invited to Bangkok to promote it"

"Hollywood actress Liu Xixi comes to Thailand to promote her new film"

Local entertainment media began extensive coverage of the event early on.

Surprisingly, Liu Qianqian has become the focus of major media headlines.

The fan, who couldn't understand Thai, was so happy after asking local Chinese people about Liu Xixi's beautiful photos at the Paris Fashion Week a few days ago in various newspapers.

Just as Xiangyang said, who will come to see him?

"Take a photo and post it on Weibo, don't forget to @下向阳."

"Post on Instagram, why post on Weibo? Xiangyang's Weibo has not been logged in for a long time."

"What's the point of posting photos? Wouldn't it be better if you go to the airport tomorrow holding newspapers?"

"Does Xiangyang understand Thai?"

Fans who are crazy about the "Dog Food Couple", a real CP, were also beaming with joy and gloating in Liu Xixi's fan group.

In front of the Thai entertainment media, Liu Xixi has more status than her husband, Xiang Yang, a senior executive and design director of a luxury goods giant.

This unexpected answer makes people instinctively feel that something is not right, but they can't say anything.

"As for entertainment media, what kind of reputation does Lao Xiang have?"

"Here, take a look at this."

As soon as the text was typed, an English newspaper cover appeared in the dialog box.

From Lianhe Zaobao.

"Xiang Yang's lightning visit to Thailand! Why did he come?"

There is no need to translate the content of the report. Just looking at the title gives you a sense of "officialdom".

The article starts with the layout of the fashion brand, followed by a brief exchange between Ms. Wu from Thailand and Xiang Yang, who has been confirmed, and then analyzes the development of the fashion brand in Southeast Asia in recent years.

It is inferred that HYS and FILA will soon open stores in Bangkok, where tourism shopping is the main source of income.

This wave of analysis is well-founded.

Ms. Wu is a distributor of Hermès in Southeast Asia.

Continuing with this topic, the article added that HYS has made a huge investment in Chinese sports.

It was vaguely mentioned that HYS might copy the model it had in China to quickly open up the market in order to develop its brand in Southeast Asia.

The columnist who wrote this article even boldly speculated that Liverpool might take advantage of this momentum to visit Asia this summer for a series of friendly matches to make some money.

At the end of the article, the columnist also raised the following question.

Xiangyang’s “lightning” visit to Thailand?
Why use the word "visit"?

At the end of March, Xiang Yang will go to Shanghai as a business representative.
I heard.
