Chapter 986 Buy Gold

He pointed to the right: "The parking lot is over there, let's go."

The two of them had just taken two steps, talking and laughing, when an interview team of the Sixth Princess suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Director Zhang, can Yifei ask you a few questions?" A reporter enthusiastically raised the microphone in front of them.

Damn, this is Lao Liu. They don’t want to stay in the hall, but have to come here. They are really amazing.

"You ask." Zhang Yang was willing to admit defeat. This time he was the one who was one step behind.

After he finished speaking, he did not forget to send a text message to his bodyguard.

Reporter: Now that this film work symposium has ended, what are your thoughts?

Zhang Yang spoke a lot of official language, confusing the reporter, and then he said something concrete: "At present, the scale of my country's film industry is already in the forefront of the world. What we need now is not to focus on box office alone, but to have more and more comprehensive..."

The reporter felt that Zhang Yang was difficult to interview, so she decisively changed her target and looked at Liu Yifei.

"Yifei..."

"Please don't ask me difficult questions, otherwise I will have to let Zhang Yang answer them." Liu Yifei took the initiative and said to the reporters.

After hearing what Liu Yifei said, the reporter smiled awkwardly: "What do you think after this symposium?" He looked at Zhang Yang who was smiling next to him, and finally asked the same question.

Liu Yifei said seriously: "I think the essence of film is to tell stories. A good story contains emotions that can infect everyone.
As for the rest, for actors, it’s just a matter of doing their job well.”

The reporter was about to continue asking questions when bodyguards Xiao Zhao and Xiao Liu came over and stood silently behind Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei.

Zhang Yang waved his hand and said to them, "You guys go interview other people. We'll take our leave now."

He said and headed for the parking lot.

The interview team had no desire to pursue him at all, as Xiao Zhao's reputation in the industry was already very loud.

That night, when Liu Yifei saw the interview broadcast by the Sixth Princess at home, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

They actually broadcast the following sentence: "Please don't ask me difficult questions, otherwise I will have to let Zhang Yang answer them." This caused people who saw the news to laugh at her.

"The reporters are really going too far. Don't I have any dignity?" Liu Yifei lay in Zhang Yang's arms, pointing at the TV with a bit of indignation.

"These are all small things, don't take them to heart. Your fans will just think you're cute," Zhang Yang consoled.

"Is it true?" Liu Yifei fell asleep with this question.

The next day, at ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yang went to the studio, casually learned about the situation, and sat down in the hall.

The assistant reminded him, "Boss, 'Decision to Part' must be released as soon as possible, otherwise other countries may release it before China."

"They dare!" Unless their country doesn't want its movies to be shown domestically, who would dare to be so crazy?

"We have also sold copyrights to some small countries in Southeast Asia."

These countries are obediently accepting cultural invasion. They don't have the ability to invade others, so they don't care about it.

Zhang Yang touched his chin helplessly: "Don't sell the copyright to them next time."

The assistant just listened to Zhang Yang's complaints silently.

Zhang Yang thought about it and decided that the nearest good time to go there would be the Qingming Festival.

There is always a month's pre-release period before a movie is released.

"What is the situation during the Qingming Festival?"

The assistant was well prepared. He took out the document and looked at it: "During the Qingming Festival, there are two films co-produced by China Film Group.

One is "Shazam!", a collaboration with New Line America, and the other is "The Piano Tuner," a collaboration with Asan.

Guangguang released Lou Ye's "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind", and his company Maojing participated in the release of "Anti-Corruption Storm 4". "

Zhang Yang stroked his chin and thought for a while. Since China Film and Guangguang Film Group could not be the main partners, the only ones left were Wanda and Bona Film Group.

"Which one do you think is better to cooperate with, Wan Da or Bo Na?"

"Boss, why do we have to choose? Offline, the two companies can jointly distribute it, and online, we have Douyin and Maojing to cooperate." The assistant looked at Zhang Yang strangely. "Decision to Part" is the movie that won the Golden Bear, and it also has Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei. Too many people have high expectations for it.

"Okay, I'll leave this to you. You'll be in charge of contacting all four companies. Which days are the Qingming Festival holidays?"

"April 5, 6, and 7."

"It will be announced on March 4th and released on April 5th." Zhang Yang slammed the table and made the decision.

"What about publicity?"

"You ask them to release more promotional materials, set the release date on the 20th, put out offline ads on the th, and release the trailer online.
After that, we asked Douyin to cut some clips and release new ones every once in a while to attract traffic, and the preview started on the 31st.

All we have to do is have the premiere on April 4th."

"Do you want to do a few roadshows? You and the boss's wife don't have to go. Let Li Xiaoran, Zhang Ruoyun, Zhang Yishan and others go." Now that a movie is released, there are almost no roadshows.

Zhang Yang shook his head: "Winning the Golden Bear is equivalent to a huge publicity. There is not much point in promoting an art film any further."

The assistant couldn't persuade him any further.

In a blink of an eye, it is March 3th, the day when "The Wandering Earth" was officially withdrawn from theaters overseas.

Movies can be postponed in China, but they are not so generous abroad.

Even if Zhang Yang is there, it won’t work unless he makes another movie for Paramount. Otherwise, why would Paramount work so hard?

But its achievements are already brilliant enough.

It earned more than 9300 million U.S. dollars in North America and more than 8200 million U.S. dollars in Europe, while the rest of the world only earned more than 4100 million U.S. dollars.

The total overseas box office of "The Wandering Earth" reached 2.1 million US dollars.

This is the highest overseas box office for a domestic film except for Zhang Yang.

On the 5th, after this news was released by the production team of "The Wandering Earth", the person who was most discussed in China was Guo Fan.

Because Zhang Yang no longer needs to be discussed. This year, he won the Golden Ball in January, the Golden Bear in February, and the Oscar. The central bank also changed its tricks.
That’s not all. Even the American “Time” magazine published a special issue for him. It is said that 23 copies have been sold in five days, which is far higher than the average level of magazines.

But Guo Fan is different. "The Wandering Earth" earned 2.1 million US dollars overseas. In the eyes of many people, it is much more valuable than the 49 billion earned in China.

What is even more rare is that this film’s cast does not include any big names in the international market.

In the movie, the actors who impressed foreign audiences most were Wu Jing and Shu Chang.

Foreigners' impression of them may be that they are the men who beat Leo and the poor woman who was killed by Leo, and that's it.

And even with the recommendations of Zhang Yang and a group of celebrities, if the movie itself is not good, the most it can earn is about $1 million at the box office.

The fact that it can get $2 million shows that it has something that interests foreigners.

Also on the afternoon of that day, "Decision to Break Up" released a release date announcement, announcing that it would be released during the Qingming Festival.

Regarding the release of this news, the two blockbusters "Innocent Storm 4" and "Shazam!", which have been scheduled for Qingming Festival, remained unchanged.

In the current domestic market, there is no problem in releasing three blockbusters in one period.

The release date poster was also released at the same time as the release date announcement.

A photo of Liu Yifei and Zhang Yang sitting in the back seat of a car, handcuffed together.

Of the two of them, Zhang Yang was wearing a dark suit and had his eyes closed, leaning back in his chair as if he was asleep.

Liu Yifei was wearing a dark green windbreaker and looking into the distance from the car with a somewhat bleak expression.

At the top of the poster are five big characters: determination to break up.
The second row says works directed by Zhang Yang.

The third row is the leading actors, Liu Yifei/Zhang Yang.

That’s right, it’s Liu Yifei/Zhang Yang, which clearly tells everyone who is the leading actor of this movie.

At the very bottom of the poster, there are eight big words written above and below: April 5th, released nationwide.

"I shot the angel light from behind, beautiful, right?"

In the west hall of the Siheyuan, at around 3:00 p.m., Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei sat on the sofa, admiring the release poster together.

Liu Yifei nodded. This movie really brought out her beauty.

"To thank you, let me give you a massage." Liu Yifei suddenly felt itchy. She wanted to experiment on Zhang Yang. Anyway, he felt quite comfortable.

Zhang Yang didn't think much about it and just lay down on her lap.

Before Liu Yifei could make a move, Zhang Yang's cell phone rang. He picked it up and was immediately surprised.

"Xiaopang actually wants to see me, what's wrong with her?" Zhang Yang sat up and was surprised to see the message sent by his assistant.

Is there anyone who doesn’t know his attitude towards those people?

Liu Yifei thought for a moment and said, "Maybe you two have worked together before, and she wants to ask you for help."

Xiaopang worked with him on "Somewhere" in 02.

Zhang Yang shook his head and said that Xiaopang was in the mainland and had no chance of making a comeback in the short term.

He thought about it and sent a message to Secretary Li.

"You want to see her?" Liu Yifei was very confused when she saw Zhang Yang's actions. This was not like his character.

"I want Secretary Li to check how her 800 million is doing." Zhang Yangcai had no intention of seeing Fatty Fan.

That night when they were having dinner, Zhang Yang's cell phone rang again, and he picked it up.

"Xiaopang is indeed rich. He has paid the bill long ago." Zhang Yang couldn't help but laugh after seeing this.

"Let me see." Liu Yifei took the phone curiously.

"He is quite rich. He only sold a villa in Shanghai. He hasn't made any major changes to the rest of his assets." After reading it, Liu Yifei returned the phone to Zhang Yang.

"Has she sold those student apartments in Maple Leaf Country?" Mother Liu asked curiously.

"Mom, why are you still paying attention to these things?" Liu Yifei was surprised that her mother was paying attention to Xiaopang's foreign real estate.

"You haven't paid attention to the reports from a few years ago. It was Zhang Li who introduced Xiaopang to buy a house. She is the idol of our generation." What Liu's mother said was beyond Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei's expectations.

The Zhang Li she was talking about was Xue Baochai from the 87 version of A Dream of Red Mansions. This girl started speculating in real estate in Maple Leaf Country in the s and made a fortune.

There is one thing she does well, which is that she does not cheat Chinese people. It was with her generous guidance that Xiaopang started his career of buying a house in the Maple Leaf Country.

She also made full use of her emotional intelligence. Not only did she make money for herself, but she also helped her elder brother Cheng and Chen Kexin make money.

Her Xiaopang Xiaozhan is very famous among the international students in the Maple Leaf Country.

"You can earn twice as much after investing for four or five years. What's the point of this business?" Zhang Yang shook his head, feeling bored.

Liu Yifei and Liu's mother both glanced at Zhang Yang secretly. It might seem meaningless to you, but is the stock market something that ordinary people can play with? Real estate is considered a very safe thing.

"Zhang Yang, what simple and good investment projects do you think are available now?" Mother Liu couldn't help but ask Zhang Yang. Her son-in-law was simply the God of Wealth who could turn stones into gold.

Zhang Yang was reminded by Liu's mother and remembered something: "What is the current price of gold?"

"Gold price? It seems to be around 280." Only because Mrs. Liu buys all kinds of jewelry frequently, otherwise she really wouldn't know.

"Then buy gold. You can earn two or three times as much in a few years."

“Can it increase so much?” Mother Liu didn’t doubt Zhang Yang’s gaze, but she still found it incredible.

The price of gold has been hovering around 200 in recent years. He said he could make two or three times the profit, at least to over 600.

"Look at the current international situation, it is a turbulent place..." Zhang Yang said a lot.

The other three people in the family were all confused by what they heard. They still thought they were living in a peaceful and prosperous era, and at most there were some trade conflicts. But how could it be so chaotic in Zhang Yang's eyes?
