Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 218 Shock
The next day, the news spread uncontrollably throughout the domestic film system.

When Huang Dad went to work at the factory, he found that his old friends all smiled and said, "Congratulations!"

"Another Palme d'Or. Your child is worthy of being raised in a factory. He really brings honor to our factory!"

"Old Huang, when will your son come back? Let him come to the factory to have a look. We uncles haven't seen him for a long time."

Most people at Shanghai Film Studio have a very good impression of Huang Ze.

Not just because Huang Ze is a young man.

It’s not just because Huang Ze’s father’s position has been upgraded to deputy factory director.

There is the factor of people carrying the sedan chair.

But it was more because of another thing. The movie "Huang Feihong" co-produced by Huang Ze and Shanghai Film Studio created a trend in China that was no less than that of "Shaolin Temple" back then.

This gave the Shanghai Film Studio, which had begun to be self-sufficient after the studio reform, a sigh of relief.

You have to know that the price of recent movies is calculated by copy. If you can't sell them and the audience doesn't like to watch them, you won't make much money. Therefore, many studios have begun to reduce the number of films they make.

In order to make money, everyone is trying their best.

This year, a film studio actually made a ghost movie called "The Lonely Shadow in the Dark Building", which features ghost scenes.

Everyone knows that the Shanghai Film Studio has had a relatively comfortable year. After all, this is all thanks to the kindness of this young man who grew up in the factory.

"Hey, I don't know either."

Huang's father shook his head.
“He’s a very busy man now.”

"Tell me, how did you make a movie in Hollywood? Tell me..."

“Old Huang, are you showing off or showing off?”

Everyone suddenly felt a sour feeling in their throat.

There are only three big three domestic filmmakers.

Your son took two by himself.

If looks could kill, his colleagues would have killed him a hundred times already!
……

Beijing Film Studio.

Brother Chen Kai felt very uncomfortable when he woke up in the morning.

I felt weak all over and my heart was empty.

It was as if something was taken away.

"What's wrong? Did you catch a cold?" His wife Hong Huang asked casually, "You got up a little late today!"

"By the way, let me tell you something. The Cannes Film Festival in the early morning, remember?"

"I just participated last year, how could I not know?" Chen Kai was startled, and slowly turned his head to look at his wife, "What was the result?"

"Huang Ze won the Palme d'Or."

"Oh..." Brother Chen Kai lay back on the bed, "I'll lie down for a while."

"Hey, it's nothing." Seeing her husband like this, Hong Huang knew that he was petty again. She secretly thought that he was really petty. She had lived a comfortable life since she was a child, and the more she looked at her husband, the more she disliked him. She couldn't help but deliberately anger him. "You participated in Cannes last year, and didn't you win an award for "King of Children"? Gold, gold what is it?"

"There are prizes for everyone anyway, so it doesn't matter who wins."

"..."

Brother Chen Kai felt as if his lungs were punctured.

Damn, can it be the same?

Mine is a golden alarm clock. Reporters insinuated that my films make people sleepy.

It's a far cry from the Palme d'Or.

"Oh..." Brother Chen Kai slowly closed his eyes.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

"Since Ze was born, why did Kai have it?"...

Hong Kong Island.

Huang Ze is the big boss of ATV after all. How can he fall behind in flattering his boss?
There was no need for anyone else to report it, as ATV started a special program in the morning to review this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Of course, the focus is on highlighting Huang Ze's wisdom and bravery.

Two guests were also invited to analyze Huang Ze's achievements.

"Being able to win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival before the age of 30, plus the Golden Lion at Venice, Director Huang has broken the record. In the history of global cinema, no one has achieved such an achievement before the age of 30."

"Do you think Director Huang has a chance to win the Golden Bear Award at the West Berlin Film Festival and eventually sweep all three major European awards?" the host asked.

“Personally, I don’t think there’s much of a problem.”

"Everyone should pay attention to Director Huang's age. He is only 29 years old. To be frank, many directors at this age have not yet started directing movies. Most of them are assistant directors. This means that Director Huang's long career as a director will only focus on winning the Golden Bear Award."

"The West Berlin Film Festival can be suppressed once or twice, but it cannot be suppressed intentionally every time. Otherwise, it will lose its credibility."

"And we often talk about the three major European cinemas, but there is also a ranking among the three major European cinemas. The most influential one is the Palme d'Or won by Director Huang at Cannes, followed by Venice, and then West Berlin."

“It’s already ranked last, and if its credibility is affected, it will only get further and further away from the top two film festivals.”

At this moment, a Golden Bear Award winner was sitting in front of the TV.

Looking at the guests talking inside, Zhang Yimou couldn't help but slap his thigh.

"Oh, this old classmate is really awesome. He won't let anyone else survive!"

"When I was 29, I was admitted to university and I am in my sophomore year."

“People are really incomparable.”

"You can do it, too." Gong Li looked at Zhang Yimou with love and admiration in her eyes, "The first one to laugh may not be the last one to laugh."

"Hey, I just want to make a movie and don't want to think too much."

"Let's finish filming 'The Terracotta Warriors' first. If the domestic news is still a hot topic and no one is willing to invest, I will learn from Zhang Jianya and work for Huang Ze. Let him invest in my film. After all, we are old classmates and he will not treat me unfairly."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yimou couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows.

Famous all over the world, and slandered all over the world!

Thinking back to last year when I wrote my debut novel Capturing the Bear, I felt so full of energy and ambition.

Who could have imagined that it would come to this in such a short time.

Because of his relationship problems, he was criticized all over the country. He had to hide from the limelight and went to Hong Kong to act in a movie.

"Ugh……"

……

Some are happy and some are sad.

But in Cannes, Huang Ze was only filled with joy.

After winning the Palme d'Or, Huang Ze's reputation in the film industry rose again, and the scripts he wrote naturally became more valuable.

The film "Days of Being Wild" also won an award in the main competition unit.

Adding the two together, the value of "Days of Being Wild" is no longer comparable.

Copyright sales also became popular.

The film was screened for several consecutive days before but was not sold out in even ten countries.

But today, the copyrights have been sold to more than 40 countries in one day.

"Days of Being Wild" earned another 1.3 million US dollars, plus the approximately 500,000 US dollars sold before, which is more than 14 million Hong Kong dollars.

The goal of recovering costs has been achieved, and the only thing left is how much profit can be made.
