Chapter 266: The Actor (1/5)
September is the traditional off-season, Orange did not release any big dramas, Xu Zheng starred in "Modern Age", two animations that tested the waters, plus "Hunting"...
"Modern Age" has an investment of 16 million, it is a film organized by Xiaojun, Dadi Cinema and Jinyi Cinema are the producers behind it, Orange helped release it, I didn't think about how much box office I made, 30 million can pay back...
That's the case, in September this year, not only did there be no big-budget domestic films, but even Hollywood was collectively dumb...
There is no inventory - "Rim the Sky" and "Super 6" were originally planned to be released in September, but the Hollywood filmmakers are in a hurry, so they will be released in July!
So much so that China Film only has "Elysium", "Smurfs 2", "The Great Gatsby"...
None of them are pretending!
"Modern Age" directly won the box office of 32 million in the first weekend, and it has paid off!
And judging from the box office trend, it may be able to break 100 million!
The two anime that tested the waters are "Naruto Shippuden: The Death of Naruto" and "Nobita's Dinosaur 2006"...
It's really just a test of the waters.
It was released on August 29th, and it was released twice at once!
I didn't spend much money on publicity, so I only made posters and waited and saw for publicity...
Then, "Nobita's Dinosaur 2006" won 18 million at the box office in its first weekend, and "Naruto Shippuden: Naruto's Death" won 22 million...
That is to say, in the first weekend, the two anime films directly recovered their costs...
The volume is around 50 million!
There are more than 30 more to be released!
Confused...
Is it so easy to earn?
Naruto can understand, Blue Fat also has so many fans?
It's so profitable, why hasn't there been a film company release before?
Seeing the box office statistics of the week, Lu Xiaoran asked directly.
Zhong Lifang rolled her eyes: "You think too much, do you think anyone can clear the issuance level?"
"It's a Japanese anime!"
Belch...
Japanese benzene anime is a forbidden product.,The kind that has been banned for a long time...
But it's banned, and domestic animation hasn't made great progress, so everyone still doesn't like to watch it, why?
The logic is actually very simple, if you don't let me eat, I can't eat.
"So will we be targeted for such a fanfare? How do I feel a bit like a traitor?"
“... What country is sold, at most it can only be regarded as a second-class dealer!"
Lu Xiaoran was silent for a moment: "... Or do you have to hurry up to play the style of domestic animation, why is Tian Xiaopeng so slow?"
"It's already been hard work, and it will be done in August next year at most..."
"Okay, let's get the word out when the time comes..."
"There is news from Venice that "Hunting" has received an invitation and should be able to win the prize!"
"Then hurry up and arrange the release!"
"We have to determine what the award is, as well as the box office expectations of "Hunting", everyone is not optimistic..."
"How much box office prediction did the theater give?"
"The consensus is that up to 200 million. ”
"Let's see what award I can get, didn't Liwen say that I can at least win an actor?"
"MK2 is fighting for a special jury prize. ”
……
Speaking of going back to Venice, on the evening of the 4th, Huang Bo put on a dress and joined Zhang Yimou - the entire "Hunting" crew came to them...
In fact, "The Hunt" has already won a bunch of off-the-court awards: the Most Innovative Film Award, the Future of Motion Picture Award for Best Picture, and the Pacinetti Award for Best Picture and Best Actor.
There were dozens of similar awards during the Venice Film Festival, many of which even Ah Mou couldn't understand, and Bo Ge didn't bother to care so much, so he just accepted the award.
The off-site prize is not much related to the grand prize in the main competition unit, the most typical Catholic cultural award is the award issued by the Protestant and Catholic Church International Film Organization, which is awarded to works that depict human nature brilliantly...
Kim Ki-duk's "Morbius" won the Catholic Humanities Award...
"Morbius"...
A very perverted movie, with theme keywords: castration, reasoning, cyan, desire...
The approximate content is 'The Adventures of Tintin': chirp and chirp, mom cut chirp, it doesn't matter if you cut it off, dad will give it to you, you can't be hard after sending it, unless you see mommy, dad is in a hurry, and you have to cut chirp, mom is very angry, dad comes to shoot it, mom and dad are killed, blow up the little chirp...
Riding a horse, so humane!
Ahem, back to the award ceremony.
At this time, the Finnis Theater was already crowded, and the theater with nearly 2,000 people was almost full.
Under the guidance of the staff, Ah Mou and Huang Bo found their place and sat down and waited for the award ceremony to begin.
The president of the festival, Alberto Barbera, began with a 20-minute personal speech: 70th anniversary of the declaration of war on Hollywood...
In other words, last year, that is, in 2012, as soon as Alberto Barbara, the president of the new Venice Film Festival, took office, he couldn't wait to sweep away Mark Muller's dream of a pro-American film festival and restore the firm purpose of artistic purification on the high and lofty of clear soup.
It is simplified to be pure, pure, and cold, but this willfulness also has to pay a price - the meaning of "high and low" is, "Outsiders can't understand it, let's play by ourselves".
Alberto Barbera even said that 'Chinese cinema is becoming less and less suitable for film festivals!'
If it weren't for "Hunting", this year's Chinese-language movies would probably have to say goodbye to Venice...
The media and reporters in the audience are almost annoyed, they are here to get first-hand information, who won the Golden Lion Award, who won the actor, and then go back to hand in the errand, who cares if you want to declare war with Hollywood?
Finally, the speech is over, and the official entry into the awards, the first awarded horizon unit, no one cares...
finally came to the best actor stage.
"OK, let's award the actor, let's see who is the lucky winner this year?" Jiang Wen opened the envelope, looked at the audience, found Huang Bo, and smiled: ""Hunting, Huang Bo!"
Ah Mou was the first to stand up and applaud, he really grew stronger!
When Uncle Ge won the Cannes Best Actor with "Alive", Ah Mou said after learning the news in China that it was an unprecedented achievement. ’
Now in Venice, I have picked up a Venetian actor...
It feels so good!
Of course, it's also a little depressing - awards are all about pork, and it's difficult to win other awards if you win a heavyweight actor!
“... I would like to thank the jury for awarding this award to me, as an actor, the award is the best compliment to him. Thank you to all the actors in the crew, thank you to director Zhang Yimou for the torture, thank you to our screenwriter Lu Xiaoran, thank you to our team, thank you! Thank you!"
Poor play...
Compared to winning the Golden Horse Award acceptance speech...
He's a little nervous...
After all, he is a Venice actor, and his weight far exceeds that of the Golden Horse...
……
Lu Xiaoran was the first to receive the news and posted directly on Weibo: "Congratulations to Brother Bo, crowned Venice actor, well, we are the same actors!"
Of course actor Lu can say that...
He is also a Venice actor!
