Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 110 Returning home in glory
"A very popular young actor." Huang Ze thought for a moment. "Top Gun" should be released soon. That is, "Tom Cruise?"

"That's right." George smiled, "Is this protagonist okay?"

“…….” Although Huang Ze felt that it was a bit out of place for a dyslexic patient and a believer in science to play the role of a top student.

And the other person doesn't look that ruffian.

But you have to admit that among the young actors, there is no one who is more popular and more capable of carrying the box office than him.

There is another Tom, whose last name is Hanks. His most popular movie, "The Mermaid", is ranked tenth in the North American box office rankings, while "Top Gun" is at the top of the list.

No matter what the main theme is, this face is extremely popular.

It was popular until Huang Ze traveled through time, which was almost forty years.

Therefore, Huang Ze couldn't say anything against his conscience and could only nod his head, "It's indeed a good choice! He is a very suitable actor and famous enough."

"Of course, we have high hopes for this project."

"So, Huang, three hundred thousand dollars for a consultant?"

"Isn't it justified my worth?" Anyway, the negotiation for "Taste of Cherry" had already been completed, so Huang Ze subconsciously raised the price. It would be a waste not to make money.

"Huang, the screenwriters don't get paid as much as you do." George spread his hands, "The combined pay of the two screenwriters is not as high as this."

"That's my existing story, the screenwriter can just make some changes based on it."

"Okay, okay, 350,000. No more."

"That's it!" Huang Ze is still optimistic about the box office of this film. This time, it's not just for the other party to profit from the name being put up, so just let it be.

"Pleasant to work with."

"Pleasant to work with."

"By the way, my new film should be completed around Christmas. It's a commercial film, and I think it might be more in line with American tastes." Huang Ze recommended it.

"Oh?" George raised his eyebrows. "Finally, you're making a commercial film? Huang, that's right. You won the Golden Lion. The judges will definitely not give you another big award in the next few years. You should move towards the box office."

"I'm looking forward to your new work. Please call me when it's finished. I'll go to Hong Kong Island to watch your new film in person!"

"If it really has potential, I will introduce it to the United States. We are old friends."

"Okay, I'll contact you then."

After some nonsense, the two parties signed the drafted contract.

Once the US copyright is sold, the biggest deal of the day will be done.

It was not until the evening that the group counted the sales figures.

Seven million three hundred thousand!
The unit is US dollars.

"We should be able to sell a little more tomorrow, let's try to break eight million!" The representative of China Film Group liked Huang Ze more and more the more he watched him.

Even if this number remains unchanged, China Film Group will still be able to get nearly three million US dollars.

Think carefully, adding in the words of "The Bad Kids" and "Good Will Hunting".

Huang Ze alone brings nearly 10 million in foreign exchange income to the country.

Thinking of this number, he felt a little short of breath.

He knows how urgent the shortage of foreign exchange is now.
If these numbers are calculated together, they are quite eye-catching. In the film industry, they are simply eye-catching!
The others combined are not enough.

"Let me see." Huang Ze took out the account book, looked at the countries that sold copyrights today, and compared them with the names in his mind. "It should be possible. West Germany hasn't bought it yet. It's a rich country. It would be a shame not to sell it for more than 300,000 US dollars."

In fact, it did exceed eight million.

The next day, the copyrights were sold to the remaining countries that had purchasing power, and a total of US$8.2 million was received.

According to the previously agreed share, Huang Ze received nearly five million US dollars.

But now, there are really few countries left.

Everyone boarded the plane back home on the third day. Huang Ze originally planned to go back to Hong Kong Island first, but plans can't keep up with changes. He planned to win another award, but this time he won the Golden Lion, so he had to change his plan.

Go back home first!
Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, just like walking in brocade at night.

After winning such a big prize, how could you not return home in glory?
Compared to Hong Kong Island, it’s more fun to show off in China!

He asked the people from Xinghai Film and Television to return to Hong Kong Island, and called Gong Xing to tell her about this. Then Huang Ze boarded the plane back to China with his bodyguards.

That night, Huang Ze's name appeared again in "News Lianbo".

This was also the longest time Huang Ze occupied the position.

"Today, the Golden Lion Award for Best Feature Film at the Venice International Film Festival was won by Huang Ze, the director of the domestic film "Taste of Cherry". This Golden Lion has been noticed by many world-renowned film directors. At this film festival, the United States presented a film, Su Lian presented two films, and many well-known directors participated."

"The domestic film Taste of Cherry, co-produced by Shanghai Film Studio, won over all competitors and audiences with its strong artistic appeal. At the film festival, the jury composed of 14 well-known figures in the international film industry voted for Taste of Cherry without any controversy."

"The Venice International Film Festival is known as one of the three major film festivals along with the Cannes Film Festival and the West Berlin Film Festival. This is the first domestic work to win the highest award at the three major film festivals."

More than a minute!

It’s not a long time, but this is News Chain.

This is indeed the first time that a domestic film has won such a high award. Countless newspapers have begun writing articles, preparing to tell all readers this exciting news.

In an instant, titles such as "Huang Ze wins glory for the country", "Domestic films go global", "Domestic films shine in Venice", etc. took shape in the heads of editors.

……

Beijing!

It was morning when the plane came back.

Through the porthole, you can see the sun slowly rising from the horizon.

As the sun's rays grew brighter, Huang Ze became more and more excited.

The first one of the Big Three!

It was the Golden Bear Award, which was already ranked last at the time and whose influence was in jeopardy.

It is the perennial runner-up Golden Lion.

Moreover, compared to his previous life, he achieved the record of the three major titles a year and a half earlier.

In addition, his own popularity as a musician is already high. Considering how influential Zhang Yimou was in his previous life, he is afraid that he may even be even more influential than him.

"Hahahaha." Huang Ze put his hands behind his head and laughed, feeling indescribably happy.

Not long after, the plane landed at the airport.

Huang Ze walked out of the cabin and took a deep breath.

"I go……"

This sandstorm.

No doubt about it, it’s authentic!
Huang Ze quickly shut his mouth.

At the same time, I sighed in my heart, "I still need to work hard."

The sandstorms in the capital city in the previous life were obviously much better.

When I walked out of the airport with others, dozens of reporters were already waiting outside. A group of people kept their eyes on the exit, scanning the faces of each person. When they saw Huang Ze wearing sunglasses, they paused for a moment and then rushed over.

"Director Huang, can you tell me what you are feeling now?"

"Hello, we are from Youth Daily. Do you have anything to say to the audience and domestic filmmakers?"

"Director Huang, we are from Popular Movies magazine. Can we take a photo of you holding the Golden Lion for the cover of the next issue?"
