Chapter 172 The master is like red wine, the longer it lasts, the more mellow it becomes
The noses of the reporters are very smart.
got up early in the morning, and at least a team of hundreds of reporters and paparazzi surrounded Hu Fei's Huafei Film and Television.
The first wave came up, of course, the most important thing is the news, it is the news itself that Li Qian and "Red Sorghum" reached the top of the Berlin Film Festival, but the news thing, report it, and extend it, and then talk about the status of the Berlin Film Festival, talk about the bumpy history of the Chinese film tour in Europe, and the great significance of "Red Sorghum" winning this award, it will be the sky, although Li Qian itself means sales, but the stimulation of this sales is too small.
Not hot enough!
At least it didn't give full play to the news heat and value that this matter should have!
So, that is, to report a wave, to boast a wave, it's okay.
If you really want to stir up the news, you have to find a gimmick.
Coincidentally, Li Qian may not be able to hold back, he won the Golden Bear Award and the Silver Bear Award here, and when he turned around, he accepted an exclusive interview with Xunfei News, openly and secretly, and directly swollen the face of the film director who "had won an international award before" - although he didn't mention his name, who he beat and who hurt, everyone felt like a mirror in their hearts.
Of course, as for whether those words were said by Li Qian, whether this way of speaking is a little inconsistent with Li Qian's usual way of behaving in the world, then everyone doesn't care.
The boss of Xunfei News is Wang Jinglu, they have a bed to fight, and no one cares!
Anyway, everyone just knows that through such an interview report, Li Qian has already made a move!
Of course, the muzzle below is Qin Wei.
Therefore, contrary to the norm, Li Qian made such a big news here, and there were only a dozen reporters who went to popular places such as Minghu Mansion and Sheepfold Hutong to block people, but there were hundreds of people who went to the door of Huafei Film and Television to wait for Hu Fei and Qin Wei!
On the first day, it wasn't blocked.
Qin Wei received the news in advance and didn't come to the company at all.
But it didn't matter, the reporters blocked the door of the villa complex where he lived that afternoon.
If you can't get in, it doesn't matter, everyone is waiting at the door of the villa.
In the final analysis, Qin Wei is a director after all, a big name behind the scenes, although the coffee position is high enough and the appearance rate is not low, but after all, he is not a first-line star, so he is willing to speak and stands up when he needs to speak, but he is usually fine, and no one has to shoot him and interview him all day long. So, unlike those A-list stars, he and his team don't have much experience in how to avoid reporters.
So, he hid at home and couldn't get out, so he could only tremble with anger and smoke one cigarette after another.
The problem is that he didn't expect Li Qian to win the award at the Berlin Film Festival, he was defenseless in advance, so he was slapped in the face so suddenly, and it really hurt this time.
But on the contrary, although Li Qian was clearly coming at him, he really couldn't think of any good counterattack strategy for a while!
Especially, when it came that night, the blockbuster came!
Huaxia TV's nightly "News Network" very ceremoniously and directly gave the news of "Red Sorghum" winning two and a half minutes, and unlike the morning news that focuses on reporting on the award itself, when it comes to "News Network", it is completely high the banner - they mentioned Li Qian's speech when he won the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor in an editorial way, and praised this practice of "criticizing the three major European film festivals and hoping that the film festivals will treat China's excellent films fairly"!
Everyone knows the importance of "News Network", and everyone knows that this is a highly political program - at this time, recalling that Qin Wei won the award at the Venice Film Festival that year, which once caused a sensation, and he only got a report of more than a minute in the "News Network" at that time.
Then, because of that award, and because of the mentality of the Chinese people at that time who urgently needed global recognition, and of course, with Qin Wei's own great fame in the domestic film industry for many years, he later became almost recognized as the master of the first person in domestic films.
But now, Li Qian's award at the Berlin Film Festival is respected by the national level and the people, and it seems that he is not lower than himself.
So, the next day, without being blocked by reporters, Qin Wei himself appeared.
And it's a smile on his face.
When a reporter asked, "What do you think of Li Qian's historic Golden Bear Award and three Silver Bear Awards at the Berlin Film Festival", Qin Wei was deliberately surprised, "Who? I haven't heard of this name!"
The reporters were suffocated by him.
But it's right to think about it, the two of them broke off their friendship - with Li Qian's letter of renunciation, Qin Wei is a person who cares so much about face, it would be strange for him to mention Li Qian's name again!
So everyone changed their routine and asked: "There was an exclusive interview in iFLYTEK Group, some people said that winning awards is nothing great, even if it is an international award, he is still an ordinary filmmaker, not better than other filmmakers, and he will not accuse others of not being good enough, what do you think about this?"
Qin Wei smiled when he heard this, "Winning an award really doesn't mean anything, even if it is an international award, even if it is several at a time, it can only mean that one of his works has won the recognition of some judges, to put it mildly, it can be regarded as starting to find the threshold, right?"
Then, he got into the car and disappeared.
But his agent Du Chengbang did not leave, and was still blocked by reporters.
In the face of Du Chengbang, everyone had fewer scruples, and asked directly: "Director Qin Wei is known as the most outstanding film master in China because of a Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, and now Li Qian has won a Golden Bear Award and a Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, do you think he can be regarded as a film master?"
Du Chengbang smiled and smiled disdainfully, "What Master Qin said just now, it's not that you are amazing if you win the award! Besides, Director Qin is known as a master of films, which is supported by one masterpiece after another, but it is not given by a Venice Golden Lion Award, it is just one of the more important awards he has won!"
After a pause, he added: "Winning awards is not equal to masters, masters rely on trophies and the audience's reputation, little by little! If you dare to proclaim yourself a master when you win an award abroad, you really admire the cheekiness of some people!"
Boom, the reporters immediately exploded.
Invincible excitement.
If Qin Wei's counterattack just now was a bit subtle, it was just a few insinuations, after all, he wanted face and was reluctant to mention Li Qian's name, but Du Chengbang didn't have this scruples.
So, he really ran away!
Now there's a topic!
What's more, before getting in the car and leaving, Du Chengbang smiled and left a sentence, "The master is like red wine, the longer it is, the more mellow it becomes!"
…………
Only ten minutes later, the news reached Qi Jie's ears.
After another twenty minutes, the number of reporters downstairs at Minghu Culture increased dramatically - because now the topic has come back to this side.
Qi Jie was not stunned at all, and directly arranged for the people from the Propaganda Department to go out and say, "Red wine is indeed mellow the longer it lasts, but you must keep your mouth shut and honestly stay in the oak barrel to precipitate yourself.
Click!
Mars splash!
Almost every reporter who runs in the entertainment news section can clearly feel that the outlet of Minghu culture seems to have changed - I don't know if Li Qian is not at home, so no one can suppress Qi Jie's relationship, or Li Qian took "Red Sorghum" to the Berlin Film Festival This grand slam suddenly gave Qi Jie more confidence!
In short, in the past so many years, the introverted strategy of "not causing trouble, not being afraid of things" that Minghu culture has always adhered to at the request of Li Qian seems to have begun to change.
The words on Minghu Culture's side, starting from the interview on iFLYTEK News, seem to have become sharp all of a sudden!
Of course, there are extenuating circumstances!
Everyone knows what a powerful domineering female president Qi Jie is, and her eloquence is also super powerful, but over the years, because Li Qian has always suppressed the external caliber of the entire Minghu culture, it seems that he is trying to create an image of "not competing with others, developing slowly", so although the Minghu culture is getting bigger and bigger unconsciously, in the eyes of the outside world, there will always be an illusion that the strength of Minghu culture does not match their activity and right to speak in the entertainment industry!
Moreover, according to the gossip in the industry, the last time "The Door of Life and Death" and "Huang Feihong" competed for the box office, Qin Wei's disrespectful remarks had already annoyed Qi Jie, but at Li Qian's request, he didn't fire!
And now, it seems that the time is completely ripe!
With the concentrated reporting of the entire domestic media system, especially Huaxia TV's "News Network", which was so powerful, it directly gave more than two minutes, and gave a very high praise, about the high status of the Berlin Film Festival in the global film art circle, about how rare it is for "Red Sorghum" to win four awards at once, and how significant it is, it is basically known in China!
So, a big battle, fired!
…………
Germany won the award on March 4, local time, and then stayed in Berlin for another two days, so that Qin Jingjing, the new queen of the Berlin Film Festival, and Fu Xuelong, the youngest winner of the Silver Bear Award for Best Cinematography, showed their faces in the Western media, and also brushed another wave of heat for the release of "Red Sorghum" in Europe and the United States, and then, on the afternoon of March 6, local time in Germany, Li Qian led the team, and the crew of "Red Sorghum" flew directly from Berlin and flew back to Shuntianfu.
After two or three days of being tired of being in Berlin together, Liao Liao flew back to the United States, after all, she is now a top superstar over there, and she has a lot of work to do every day, and it is already a break to the schedule to find time to come to Berlin for a few days. John Dyce, on the other hand, stayed in Europe and began to have frequent contact with publishers from all over the country.
Before Li Qian got on the plane, in two days, "Red Sorghum" had sold the distribution rights of thirteen countries in Europe, and after the plane he was on landed in Shuntianfu, the negotiations there had already come to an end - in one night's work, John Days had negotiated the distribution rights of several European countries, including the Soviet Union, a box office power, and also sold the distribution rights of Yi Lang by the way.
A total of 19 buyouts of issuance authorizations, with a total revenue of 34.6 million US dollars!
That's about 70 million dollars!
In other words, "Red Sorghum", with a total investment of 12 million yuan, has already made a net profit of 58 million yuan by virtue of this wave of Berlin Film Festival awards and subsequent fame, without spending a penny of publicity money!
That's the awesome thing about an international film festival like the Berlinale!
Of course, it is inseparable from Li Qian's starring role as the actor, as well as the legendary three Silver Bear Awards and one Golden Bear Award, otherwise, it will be easy to sell, but it can't be sold at such a high price!
Li Qian landed on the plane here, and John Days had already booked a ticket and was going to fly directly to Mexico to start his road to Latin American negotiations and sell the distribution rights!
After Li Qian's plane landed, he passed with John Days in the business car that picked him up, and he excitedly told Li Qian that he was sure to sell more than 50 million US dollars in other markets in the world except the Chinese market!
What is this concept?
This means that "Red Sorghum" just made an appearance at the Berlin Film Festival and won four trophies, and John Days has already made the film's global box office exceed 50 million US dollars!
Well, 100 million Chinese dollars!
For a literary film, especially a literary film from China, this price is absolutely unprecedented!
…………
The plane landed here, and there are already people in the country!
Of course, in Li Qian's opinion, that is, the level of the two of them sitting and spraying each other, except for venting their anger, there is no other fart - if it is useful, it is probably to make the popularity of the upcoming official release of "Red Sorghum" have jumped to a terrifying level!
Think about it, there are at least hundreds of millions of people across the country who know that there is a movie called "Red Sorghum" in China, which is about to be released, and it is very well made, and it has won awards abroad - how terrifying should this influence be?
So, after returning to the company, Li Qian originally planned to have a long talk with Qi Jie, or that meaning, let her not let herself go all of a sudden, or moderate restraint, after all, quarreling with this kind of thing, it doesn't mean much to quarrel with anyone, and the box office is out, which is the truth.
However, in the end, she was persuaded by Qi Jie.
Well, if a literary film wins an award, it doesn't blow it well, and someone doesn't step on the ladder sent to the door, so how can it be promoted?
So, in the end, it was decided to publish, publicize, and listen to Qi Jie.
On March 7th, a few hours after Li Qian returned to China, with the incomparably hot mouth of Li Qian, the representative of Minghu Culture, and Qin Wei, Minghu Culture officially released the trailer of "Red Sorghum" on its official website and on major platforms such as iFLYTEK and Sohu!
And in the trailer, Li Qian looks shirtless and muscular, which once again instantly attracted the attention of countless fans! Because no one expected that Li Qian, a handsome guy who looks handsome and beautiful on the outside, actually has such sexy muscles! So, as you can imagine, there are countless fans in an instant!
Soon after the trailer was released, the major relevant forums on the Internet, "Red Sorghum" and "Li Qian", once again became the two most popular words - I heard that Li Qian had been looking forward to it for a long time after making a literary movie, not to mention, the key is that at this time, countless people who had originally heard of it but didn't watch it or not, or had never heard of this movie before winning the award, all said in the forum that they wanted to watch this movie as soon as possible!
In a sentence in the forum, "Even if you just go to see the muscles of the sect leader, it's worth it!", "What's more, it's rare to teach the traditional old-fashioned peasants to be so earthy and so dark!"
…………
Tianyi Film and Television, Art Director's Office.
The thirty-second version, the ninety-second version, and the three-minute version, the three trailers currently released by "Red Sorghum", Lu Ping watched them one by one, and then, facing the eyes of Zhou Zhengyang and Gao Lanlan, he smiled, with a look of disdain, "He also attacked Director Qin, saying that people use sex and erotic scenes to please the judges of the film festival, Li Qian This is not the same! I look at the section in the sorghum field, and it is also passionate enough!"
Zhou Zhengyang and Gao Lanlan glanced at each other and didn't speak.
In fact, as soon as the trailer came out, a big debate had already started on the Internet about the sorghum field passion scene in the three-minute version of the trailer - some people said that Li Qian also filmed the erotic scene, and some people said, pay attention, people don't even show a bit of flesh, and they can't see the sect leader's buttocks! Moreover, pay attention to that footage, and see what level they have filmed Yehe's scene! What is there to attack!
However, for Lu Ping, Gao Lanlan, and Zhou Zhengyang, such a discussion is meaningless.
Because the schedule of "Red Sorghum" is March 13, and the schedule of Lu Ping's new movie "Bad Life" is set for March 22 - the two movies are only nine days apart!
It was easy to say before, but now, with "Red Sorghum" miraculously winning four awards at the Berlin Film Festival, the popularity of this movie in China has completely increased, and now coupled with the back-and-forth war between Qin Wei's agent and Minghu Culture, the popularity of this movie is even higher!
The trailer has not been released for more than three hours, and the total number of hits on the whole network has exceeded one million!
If even a tenth of this attention is converted into box office, it will be enough to scare people to death!
What's more, in addition to this drama, there are too many things that can be hyped, such as whether Li Qian will show his ass and the like that countless female fans on the Internet are hotly discussing, and the scandal between Qin Jingjing and Li Qian, and ...... Seriously speaking, this can be regarded as the first movie officially starring Li Qian!
In the end, it is one sentence.
"Pingzi, it's only been nine days, it's on fire like that, isn't it a little too risky?"
Lu Ping smiled calmly and said: "First, this is a literary film! No matter how appealing Li Qian is, it is also a literary film! Literary and artistic films are destined to be difficult to take into account commerciality! What's more, this is a literary film that has won awards in Europe, and our domestic audiences are not the European audiences who have watched literary films for decades and have a deep background in themselves!"
"So, don't look at it so lively now, it's all a false fire! Three days before the release, just with Li Qian starring this signboard, their box office is not bad, but after three days, it will definitely be revealed!"
"And ......" Speaking of this, he smiled, a little unspeakably mysterious, "Do you think that he was already so popular, and now he has won the award from Europe, and his momentum is so high, will we be the only ones who can't get used to them in our domestic film and television circles?"
Zhou Zhengyang and Gao Lanlan were stunned when they heard this.
Zhou Zhengyang wanted to ask something, but Lu Ping waved his hand decisively and said: "Mr. Zhou, just believe me! We don't need to contact anyone, and we don't need to ask anyone, everyone is a smart person, as soon as we look at the schedule we set, we will understand what we mean, and when the time comes, everyone will definitely help!"
After a pause, he smiled and said, "This time, I stepped on him!"
