317, is expected to break overseas box office records
Xie Xiaoke was also completely unprepared, this result was too unexpected for him, although he had dreamed several times before that his film would win an award at the Berlin Film Festival, but it was just a dream, and he never thought it would become a reality.
Zhou Dongyu finally let go of Xie Xiaoke, her tears couldn't stop flowing, and she walked onto the podium excitedly.
Seeing the audience applauding herself, she felt that she had no regrets in her life, and then she had no way out except to end her life, and gave an award speech in a trembling voice:
"Thank you very much for your support to me, I was surprised to get this award today, I came to Berlin this time with the mentality of sightseeing, I didn't expect ......"
She said a word, and a German next to her followed her to translate a sentence, followed by some cliché words of thanks, and then came down.
Pan Xiaoting is facing this kind of entertainment industry award ceremony for the first time, and the award form of sports events is much the same, although this kind of entertainment industry award has no bonus, focusing on influence and personal honor, but with this honor, there will be more traffic in the future, and it will have more commercial value, she is very anxious about when she will be able to get to Zhou Dongyu's step, and at the same time, she silently praised Xie Xiaoke in her heart, when she signed the contract, she didn't know that Xie Xiaoke's movies were of such high quality, and domestic films could not be casually on the European Film Festival, which shows that she underestimated Xie Xiaoke a little。
She really didn't think that a young person like Xie Xiaoke would take the powerful route, not the traffic route, and now the pressure in her heart has also increased, first of all, she is a person who relies on sports events to bring a little traffic in the entertainment industry, and she has no real strength at all, and it is really a problem how to go in the future.
You can't always participate in variety shows, you can't make movies at all, you have no experience and no acting skills, and you can't go far just by relying on your own traffic, so she is very conflicted now, and she is a little questioning herself, and she is starting to lose confidence.
At this time, Xie Xiaoke has already taken the stage to accept the award on behalf of Shi Xiaolong, Pan Xiaoting's words have to wait until the end to ask him, in short, it is impossible to hold it in his heart, it is very uncomfortable.
Soon, after Xie Xiaoke won the trophy of the Silver Bear Award, he began to give a speech, which was also a German who was now interpreting next to him, and it soon ended in a deafening applause.
The award ceremony ended quickly, and after the film won the award, many foreign cinema investors approached Xie Xiaoke to discuss the release of the film, and Xie Xiaoke didn't know much about it, so he handed it all over to Gong Qiuwei.
After the evening, Gong Qiuwei left with two bodyguards with the organizer and some of the bigwigs from the theaters participating in the film festival.
After Zhou Dongyu, Xie Xiaoke, and Pan Xiaoting left Potsdamer Platz, they strolled in the night, looking for a place to eat, and they had been eating all night.
The two Silver Bear Award trophies were placed in a sealed box and handed over to one of the bodyguards for safekeeping, so that Xie Xiaoke could be more relaxed and free, and he didn't know how happy he was.
Outside of Potsdamer Platz is full of places to eat, with restaurants of all flavors, some from Germany, some from the Bug Country, and of course the most Italian restaurants.
If you want to ask which country in Asia is the most delicious, it is naturally China, and if you ask the same question in Europe, the answer must be Italy.
During World War II, the Italian army was sent to the North African battlefield, when the officers felt that the conditions in Africa were poor, and the army had no good food there, and they didn't want to study strategy and tactics, so they studied how to make delicious food all day long.
Most of Europe is wealthy, but there really isn't much to eat, and Italians stand out from the crowd when it comes to European cuisine.
Looking at the pasta, Italian pizza, Italian toast, Italian wine on the street, they felt that they had basically eaten in China, there was nothing new, and finally went to a spaghetti restaurant with the attitude of seeking authentic taste, ate some noodles, and felt that the authentic taste and those that were not authentic in China, the gap was indeed quite large, and they were not used to eating, because the taste of Chinese eating that kind of thing was really impossible to adapt to in a short time.
Xie Xiaoke complained several times: "I'd rather eat fried noodles for 10 yuan a piece at the Sand Line Hotel than eat any pasta, it's too delicious!"
Zhou Dongyu and Pan Xiaoting don't like to eat very much, but they think it's acceptable, and it's not to the point where it's hard to swallow.
"Actually, it's okay, some people can't eat the authentic ones if they want to!"
"Yes, I think our Chinese taste may only be suitable for eating inauthentic, socialist pasta with Chinese characteristics!" Xie Xiaoke really felt that authentic pasta was made according to the taste of Europeans, he was even more unaccustomed, only half a bowl of noodles was eaten, and then after paying, he walked out of the restaurant and asked: "Have you eaten enough?"
Pan Xiaoting: "It's okay, six points full!"
Zhou Dongyu: "I don't seem to have eaten enough!"
Xie Xiaoke felt that they might be embarrassed to say, but in fact, they were not full, so he proposed: "Let's go find a Chinese restaurant, it's more comfortable to eat Chinese food!"
After the two agreed, they went to a Chinese restaurant called Gourmet, and the three of them walked into the restaurant, and after seeing the pictures of the dishes inside, they had changed from six points full just now to four points full, so...
They ordered coriander tofu, cumin mutton, salt and pepper prawns, fish-flavored eggplant, dried fried beans, and dry pot chicken, which is bound to bring the spirit of Chinese foodies to the extreme, so that foreigners can see what the sleeping lion of the East is.
After sitting down, Xie Xiaoke suddenly stared at Pan Xiaoting for a long time, and asked, "Sister Pan, what's wrong with you, you've been sullen all the time, Zhou Dongyu won the award today, shouldn't you be happy?"
In fact, as soon as she came out of Potsdamer Platz just now, Xie Xiaoke had been observing Pan Xiaoting's expression, and found that she hadn't spoken much, and her face was a little heavier than when she first came.
Pan Xiaoting also wanted to say it, since Xie Xiaoke had asked, she had to tell the truth: "Of course I'm happy for Zhou Dongyu, but I'm worried about my future, I still don't know anything now, can I be half as good as Zhou Dongyu in the future?"
She is not only worried about her own strength, but also about her age, her debut is very late, she only started to enter the entertainment industry when she was 37 years old, and now 3 years have passed, and she has not made much progress and has always relied on the little bit of popularity she accumulated when she was playing the game.
Just like many people in the entertainment industry are inexplicably popular now, such as Huang Zitao and Chai Xukun, all of China knows this name, but when you ask them what works they have, they basically don't know, this is a manifestation of popularity exceeding strength, Pan Xiaoting doesn't want to be such a person, even if she works harder, she can be older.
Xie Xiaoke knew her thoughts, her age was there, and it was normal to worry more than young people sometimes, but he still comforted him very confidently: "Sister Pan, you are too worried, you don't need to worry about this kind of thing in my company, there are only six of you in total, I will let you slowly walk to the world stage, after returning to China, I will arrange a film for you, and the two of you will participate together, how about it?"
Xie Xiaoke has never thought of using Pan Xiaoting's popularity to make money for himself, and he didn't do it, Pan Xiaoting asked curiously like a child: "What type!"
"Urban immortal cultivators, it should be made into a TV series, the name is "Immortal Cultivation Chat Group", have you seen it?"
Xie Xiaoke also just heard Pan Xiaoting say, and only then did he remember that he still has two IPs in his hands, "Soul of Books in the Night" is not suitable for the two of them to shoot for the time being, "Xiuxian Chat Group" is okay, but this theme is a little difficult, it depends on how the director shoots.
Zhou Dongyu also read this, and now it's over, she chased it when she took off the Chinese network serialization, and also voted for 3 recommendation votes for the author's paladin's nurse and rewarded 1 yuan, but then it was too long, so I didn't read it.
Not to mention that she forgot that she had read this book before, and was full of expectations: "Okay, I'm going to play that, that, what's it called, Yu Rouzi hahaha!"
Xie Xiaoke took a closer look at Zhou Dongyu's face to see if she was suitable for playing Yu Rouzi, but she blushed a little: "What are you looking at?"
"Look at your face, it would be nice if you were taller, but it's okay, just let you play the heroine, so what will Sister Pan play?"
"Green onion is more suitable!" Zhou Dongyu thought for a while and said.
Xie Xiaoke didn't say anything more, he felt that Pan Xiaoting's current appearance was actually no different from that of a thirty-year-old person, so she played a lot of roles, and she didn't continue to discuss, and looking at her expression, it seemed that she had never read the book "Xiuxian Chat Group", if she continued this topic with Zhou Dongyu again, she would feel very embarrassed.
So he immediately ended the discussion about "Xiuxian Chat Group", and after a quick meal, he rushed to the hotel.
The next day, the release of "Mushen Ji 2" in North America and Europe continued, Xie Xiaoke and they had to stay in Berlin for another day, and Zhou Dongyu and Pan Xiaoting went shopping for a day.
It is not so easy for domestic films to be released abroad, first of all, there are foreign film companies that buy the copyright of the release, and they have to pass the official review of their country before they can be released, and the review system of each country is different, but basically the problem of fantasy dramas is not very big, and the process still has to go.
Finally, "Wood God 2" will be released in Mexico City, Mexico, Berlin, Germany, parts and cities of California, USA, and New York.
Gong Qiuwei, who had been busy for two days, finally appeared, and Louise also followed her, preparing to go back to China with Xie Xiaoke and them.
"Mr. Xie, the movie has been successfully released in the United States, Mexico and Germany, and I have already notified it in China, and it will be released nationwide tomorrow!"
"Well, okay, hard work, then let's leave for China tomorrow!" Since there is nothing to do here, and they have had enough fun in the past few days, Xie Xiaoke thinks that he will go back to China directly.
I bought a ticket from Frankfurt to Shencheng and started the return journey.
I didn't have much fun in Europe this time, I basically stayed in Germany, but when I got to the other side of the earth, it was like going to an alien planet, or I went to another dimensional space, and the time and rhythm were different.
In order to reset their schedules, they all slept on the plane, and after getting off the plane, they were in good spirits, and they took a taxi from the airport to the Jing'an area, and then separated, and the three of them went home to rest for a day.
A week later.
In the office of the peak era, a group of people greeted Xie Xiaoke excitedly in the early morning.
"Mr. Xie, the box office of this movie is even higher than the first one!"
"Mr. Xie, the total box office reached 1.6 billion within 7 days of our release. ”
"Yes, on the first day of the release of "Mushen Ji 2", the box office has surpassed "Mushen Ji 1", which was released for one day at that time, and it seems that this time it is expected to break the mainland box office record!"
Xie Xiaoke has long been prepared, because the quality of this movie is better than the first one on the whole, so it is normal for the box office to exceed the first one, but if you want to break the mainland box office record, it is really a bit difficult, Wolf Warrior 2's 5.6 billion box office has so far maintained the throne of the mainland box office sales champion, and it is not easy to break this record.
couldn't wait to come to the office to look at the data, Xie Xiaoke also brought a cup of milk tea and a rice ball to Gong Qiuwei: "Sister Wei, morning." ”
"Mr. Xie, morning!"
"Morning, have you eaten, here you go!" Xie Xiaoke handed the things to Gong Qiuwei.
Gong Qiu Wei took the breakfast unceremoniously and said with a smile: "Thank you!"
"What about the box office data overseas and in the mainland?" Xie Xiaoke went to the water dispenser to get a glass of water, and then asked with a smile.
Gong Qiuwei has long wanted to say it, and Louise sent her the overseas box office data last night, and the North American box office was 22.7 million US dollars a week, and the European box office was relatively high, only less than 5 million euros.
The overseas box office record holder of domestic films is still Zhang Yimou's "Hero" 21 years ago, the box office at that time was 53.71 million US dollars, and no one has broken it so far.
However, since Mu Shenji is very good at the domestic box office and good at the foreign box office, this shows from another point of view that if the quality of a movie reaches a certain height, it must be selling well at home and abroad.
"Mr. Xie, take a look at this data, it's still pretty good so far!" Gong Qiu Wei dropped the data on the computer for Xie Xiaoke to see.
After looking at the data, Xie Xiaoke was estimating the total box office in a month, he couldn't imagine it, the domestic box office didn't dare to say that it would surpass "Wolf Warrior 2", but it was very likely that the North American box office would surpass "Hero".
The box office for a week is $22.7 million, and it shouldn't be a big problem to break through $53.71 million in a month.
Now basically other domestic movies have no way to fight against Xie Xiaoke, the first "Mu Shen Ji 1" lost a little money, many film companies think that Xie Xiaoke should learn a lesson, and will not do this kind of stupid thing again and honestly take the commercial route, but I didn't expect his second movie to be more powerful, more money than the first special effects, which once again attracted widespread attention in the entertainment industry.
