Chapter 247: I just want to show off
A jury award made the selling journey of "The God of Medicine" extremely smooth.
Therefore, the people who were originally scheduled to return to China on May 3 had to stay for two more days to continue to deal with the overseas screening rights of "The God of Medicine".
The European projection rights were sold directly to a well-known local film and television company, and the overall account was 20 million US dollars.
There are also South America, Australia, miscellaneous, and also sold for nearly 20 million dollars.
As for the other films, Odds and Pieces also earned $40 million.
So far, Wang Xiaobai has returned with a full load, and has recorded a total of 115 million US dollars, equivalent to 810 million yuan, which can be described as a bumper harvest.
The key point is that since then, Wang Xiaobai has opened up overseas channels.
If you want to make a movie in the future, it will not be so troublesome to import it to overseas markets.
When Wang Xiaobai was frantically selling films in Cannes, domestic fans were already boiling.
"Oh my God, Silver Palm! In the Chinese film industry, there hasn't been such an award for many years!"
"I thought that Wang Xiaobai went to Cannes this time just to brush his face, but I didn't expect him to really report a grand prize and come back!"
Wang Xiaobai is the first Chinese film director to win the Silver Palm Award for a commercial film!"
"The pride of Chinese directors, Wang Xiaobai deserves it!"
“……”
A silver palm swept away all Wang Xiaobai's previous criticisms, and for a time he became the most beautiful director.
Fans are excited, and the domestic media are also climaxing.
Wang Xiaobai won the Grand Jury Prize with "The God of Medicine" and successfully returned to China with a silver palm, refreshing the history of Cannes and the history of Chinese films. ”
Strictly speaking, "The God of Medicine" is not a literary film, and its commerciality is incompatible with the theme of Cannes, but it won an unexpected award, which is enough to prove the unlimited potential of "The God of Medicine". ”
“……”
Whether it is domestic fans, media, or film industry practitioners, they all need to be recognized by international awards.
Wang Xiaobai won the Silver Palm Award, which refreshed people's perception of Cannes and made Wang Xiaobai's status skyrocket.
At present, in addition to those veteran directors, Wang Xiaobai can be called the first domestic director.
Not only has his personal prestige skyrocketed, but even "The Richest Man in Xihong City" directed by him is also rising.
"The Richest Man in Xihong City" has the aura of Wang Xiaobai and Chu Tiange's appeal at the box office, and on the day of its release on May 1, among many newly released movies, it ranked second at the single-day box office with a single-day box office of 230 million.
On May 2, although the closing ceremony of Cannes has not yet been held, with excellent content and excellent acting skills, it has won unanimous praise from the media, and the box office has soared by 100 million, winning the first place at the single-day box office with a score of 335 million.
In the early morning of May 3, Wang Xiaobai won the Silver Palm Award with "God of Medicine", which swept the Internet.
"The Richest Man in Xihong City" took Wang Xiaobai's ride, which completely detonated the box office.
May 3rd, the last day of the Labor Day holiday, Monday.
At 10:30 p.m. on the same day, Xingchen Hai's official Twitter announced to celebrate the box office of the richest man in "Xihong City" exceeding 150 million today.
At 1:30 p.m. on May 3, after the announcement of the good news of the 200 million box office of "Xihong City", the official promotion of Xingchen Haibo continued to release box office announcements, and the box office of "Xihong City" has exceeded 250 million in a single day.
At 8:00 p.m. on May 3, the sea of stars issued its third box office announcement on this day, and the single-day box office of "Xihong City" officially exceeded 400 million.
On the evening of May 3, one minute before the early hours of the morning, Xingchen Dahai issued the fourth box office good news announcement, and "Xihong City" became the No. 1 box office of the day with an astonishing box office of 435 million in a single day.
Such an amazing box office result shocked everyone.
This is the third day of the release of "Xihong City", and on the first day of the second week of the box office battle, it was able to brush down 435 million box office.
"Xihong City" doesn't need any pressure at all to win the weekly box office championship in the second week.
The heat brought by the silver palm has not yet subsided.
On the second day after the end of the long holiday, on a day when the overall box office was large, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" was no exception, dropping from 435 million to 320 million, a sharp drop of 100 million at the box office.
But compared to his terrifying size, this is still a staggering number.
You must know that among the 13 movies released on May Day, the worst box office was only 600,000 a day, and even the second-ranked box office was only 110 million, which was not as much as "Xihong City".
……
"Xihong City" continued the consistent style of Xingchen Dahai at the box office, and at this time, Wang Xiaobai, who was delayed for two days in Cannes because of the sale of films, finally landed at Jiangcheng Airport.
The exit has long been blocked by journalists and media, seriously hindering the travel of other passengers.
For this reason, the airport has had to strengthen security to maintain order.
After a while, Wang Xiaobai appeared, and the scene became even more excited and crowded.
"The king is here!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't let him run. ”
All the reporters frantically stepped forward, if it weren't for the airport security personnel to maintain order, I don't know what the chaos would be.
It is impossible to run.
As the saying goes, wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night.
This time he won the Silver Palm Award in Cannes, if Wang Xiaobai didn't take advantage of the situation to promote "The Richest Man in Xihong City", he would be completely ashamed of this Silver Palm.
"Director Wang, may I ask how you feel about winning the Silver Palm Award at the Cannes dinner this time?"
Wang Xiaobai replied: "I'm very happy and excited, and I haven't slowed down yet." ”
"Director Wang, as the leader of a new generation of domestic directors, how do you view the difference between Chinese directors and foreign directors after you go to Cannes?"
"Naturally, there is a difference. Wang Xiaobai replied.
The interest of the reporters was aroused, and they asked: "Then where do you think the fundamental gap is?"
"Is there a fundamental gap? That's still a lot. ”
"For example?"
"For example...... For example, they are white-skinned or dark-skinned, we are yellow-skinned, their noses are relatively large, we are relatively small, they ......" Wang Xiaobai replied seriously, the reporters are going crazy, who asked you to come to the physiology and health science class, can't you understand people's words?
"What about the other than that?"
"Other than that, there are no gaps. Wang Xiaobai said very sincerely.
"Then according to you, why are most of the directors at the awards gala in Cannes from abroad, but only four from China?"
Wang Xiaobai stopped for a moment, looked at the reporter who asked the question, and said solemnly: "Before answering your question, I would like to ask you a few questions." First, is the American film industry more complete and better than the domestic film industry? Second, what do you think of the fact that only two American directors were shortlisted at the Cannes Film Festival?"
“……”
At this moment, the atmosphere of the scene instantly froze.
The film industry in the United States originated very early, and the prototype of Hollywood had already been produced when the Chinese people did not know about movies.
When Chinese people were developing movies, Hollywood was already dominant in the world, and cultural output was pervasive.
Therefore, in any respect, Hollywood's strength is not only stronger than China, but also stronger than other countries.
But in the three major European film festivals, there are few American directors.
But no one has ever questioned Hollywood.
On the contrary, the situation is very different.
I have to say that many people in China really can't stand up after kneeling for a long time.
After the reporter was dumb by the two questions, Wang Xiaobai walked forward directly with Murong Bing.
Chu Tiange said with a smile in the back: "Xiaobai, although you are quite unreliable most of the time, what you did this time is absolutely reliable! As soon as you throw these two questions out, I don't know how many directors in China want to thank you." ”
Wang Xiaobai pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "I need them to thank me?"
He really doesn't need to, and he doesn't rely on them for food anyway.
And after two years of mixing, Wang Xiaobai has long seen through the essence of this circle.
There aren't many good people in this circle, and it's only when you're successful that you'll find that you're surrounded by good people.
If you have milk, you are a mother, in any industry, in any country, there can be no exception.
……
"Wenya, has the cabinet I asked you to make?"
As soon as he returned to the company, Wang Xiaobai said in a huff.
"It's been done a long time ago. ”
Liu Wenya said helplessly, I don't know what Wang Xiaobai is going to be crazy.
"Where?"
"Don't you see? right in your office. ”
"What are you doing in my office?"
He was a little upset.
"Where do you put it in the office?"
"Hurry up, get people to move out and put them in the lobby. Wang Xiaobai instructed.
Liu Wenya was a mush, but there was no way but to let people follow him and mess around.
It took a lot of effort for a group of people to get the anti-theft display cabinet that Liu Wenya spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to customize into the lobby.
Then, I saw Wang Xiaobai also walking out of it with a big box, and Bai Lu also followed behind him, also holding several big boxes.
I don't know what it's pretending to, it's quite heavy anyway.
"Hurry up, take a hand. He cried.
A group of people stepped forward one after another and brought over the boxes in their arms.
"What's in there?"
Liu Wenya asked curiously.
Wang Xiaobai said: "You will know when you see it." ”
Then, he opened the box, and everyone was completely dumbfounded.
Nima, co-authored these are all awards he has won in the past two years.
"This is the Silver Palm, one of the highest awards at the moment, and it has to be placed in the front row in the most prominent position...... This is the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor...... This is the best screenplay...... Oh, and best screenplay...... Best Picture?Gotta be placed next to the actor......"
He carefully placed these trophies in a display case.
The cabinet is huge, and although he has won a lot of trophies over the years, it still looks a little empty.
"Alas, I didn't return the Golden Melody Award and Golden Bull Award trophies if I knew it, and now there is a large piece of ...... vacant" He said with a little regret, and then his eyes lit up, and he whispered to Liu Wenya next to him: "You say, what if I find someone to remake the returned Golden Melody Awards and Golden Bull Awards by myself?"
Liu Wenya has a black line.
What about the face?
When the Golden Bull Award crackled, and now you want to get some fakes to fill your wall of honor, don't you want any face?
"What the hell do you want to do?"
Liu Wenya said with a headache.
"It's not interesting, I just want to show off!" Wang Xiaobai smiled honestly, looking extremely embarrassed.
You're sorry for your sister!
It's so obvious to show off, do you still want to have a face?
"Then I suggest you leave it at the door, so that everyone can see it as soon as they come in. Liu Wenya complained silently.
Wang Xiaobai said seriously: "That's not good, what if someone steals it?!"
Your sister!
Don't you understand that I'm mocking you?
"It's good if you're happy. Liu Wenya didn't bother to take care of him anymore, so she left directly.
He was the only one left, standing in front of this huge display case, touching his chin, and said thoughtfully: "The trophies are still a little few, when will the Golden Palm, Golden Bear, Golden Lion, Golden Man, Golden Ball...... Take it all over, and this life can be regarded as a third of the completeness. ”
