Chapter 188: A Grand Celebration Banquet

The celebration banquet held by Minghu Culture for the big sale of "Red Sorghum" was very large-scale.

When the time entered April, "Red Sorghum", which came to the fourth week of its release, faced a situation of having no opponents, coupled with the evaluation and heated discussions of the entire country about this movie, it has been completely upgraded to a phenomenal level, so even after the high box office in the first three weeks, it came to the fourth week, and the box office can still be called strong - in the fourth week, it won a box office of 65.13 million and continued to sit firmly at the top of the box office list!

Four weeks after its release, it topped the domestic box office charts for four weeks, and the total box office officially exceeded 400 million!

After the midnight screening on Sunday, April 8, the cumulative box office of this film reached a high of 402.47 million - it broke 400 million and was two weeks faster than "Once Upon a Time"!

According to such a box office trend, according to the current word-of-mouth evaluation, that is, the box office of 500 million is no longer a problem for it at all!

You must know that the final domestic box office of "Once Upon a Time" was only 470 million, plus the $145 million obtained overseas, and the global cumulative box office was only $380 million.

Equivalent to Chinese dollars, 760 million.

Many people even think that as long as the screening time is long enough, it is entirely possible for the domestic box office of "Red Sorghum" to reach 600 million yuan! And considering that the overseas distribution buyout authorization of "Red Sorghum" has been sold to more than 90 countries and regions, the total buyout has reached nearly 60 million US dollars!

In other words, the final box office of a literary film like "Red Sorghum" has every chance to catch up, approach, and even surpass commercial blockbusters like "Once Upon a Time"!

In the face of this situation, in terms of the global market, the four trophies of the Berlin Film Festival must be of great help, but in terms of domestic, if you have to push it to the reason why the market is becoming more and more mature and the scale of the domestic film market is getting bigger and bigger, it is inevitably a little too objective.

In fact, only 11 months have passed, not even a year, you really want to say how much the domestic film market has developed in less than a year, and how mature the market has become, it is obviously unrealistic.

A more reliable way to put it should be - the power of accumulation.

Through two more blockbuster works such as "My Sassy Girlfriend" and "Once Upon a Time", Li Qian's identity as a film director, together with his works, began to shed the influence of his past as a famous singer and idol, and thus began to build his own directing brand step by step.

As a result, with the blessing of the Berlin Film Festival Grand Slam, with the well-coordinated domestic war of words and moderate publicity and hype, the concept of "director Li Qian's works" began to take root in the hearts of the people.

The concept that "Red Sorghum" is a very awesome movie has also begun to take root in the hearts of the people.

So, the concept that Li Qian made a literary film that won an award and was very good-looking, as if Master Qin Wei made a big commercial production with a great investment, which immediately hooked the hearts of many people.

"The Door of Life and Death" is an unprecedented hit, breaking almost all domestic box office records in one fell swoop, and even "Huang Feihong", a commercial classic that is recognized as excellent, has been trampled under its feet, even if it is in the later stage, its reputation will be worse, and before the film is released, it has even received rave reviews on the Internet, but it still can't stop it from achieving the peak and glory of domestic films since the implementation of the large-scale commercial theater system.

And now, the big hit of "Red Sorghum", after "The Gate of Life and Death", has completed another almost unattainable super myth of domestic film creation - awards, word of mouth, box office, all bumper harvest!

And each of them has reached the highest level that has never been seen before!

In this regard, Li Qian's identity as a film director and a super awesome film director is officially recognized and sought after by everyone.

Of course, whether "Red Sorghum" can really get a box office of 600 million in China in the end, and even whether the global box office can catch up with and surpass "Once Upon a Time" in the end, depends on whether it will face the impact of particularly big new movies in the future, whether the major theaters will always be so determined to give a high screening rate, how long the film can be screened, and of course, whether there are enough audiences willing to watch it.

So, until it is reached, everything is just a prediction.

But no matter what, the box office of 400 million has definitely been reached.

And even if it is only 400 million, the status of "Red Sorghum" in the domestic film industry is basically unparalleled - a complete overlook of all living beings!

As a result, the celebration banquet prepared by Minghu Culture for "Red Sorghum" not only made a big splash, but also changed the name to "Celebrate the domestic box office of "Red Sorghum" breaking 400 million and the global cumulative box office exceeding 500 million!" - enviable, but daunting.

On the afternoon of April 10, starting at three o'clock, in one of the many villas bought by Li Qian, the celebration banquet started early.

In the domestic entertainment industry, no matter which circle is film, television, or song, there are many people.

Qi Jie was in charge, Zou Wenhuai was left and right, and several managers and deputy managers of the Propaganda Department and Distribution Department of Minghu Culture were also present.

From Huaxia TV, Shuntian Satellite TV, HUNAN Satellite TV, SHANDONG Satellite TV and other TV stations, to several radio stations such as the Voice of China, to the relevant persons in charge of several top newspapers, and then to representatives of large and medium-sized domestic cinema companies, and then to various record companies, performance companies, brokerage companies, film production companies, film and television culture companies, and so on......

Don't think about it, in fact, Qi Jie, as the organizer, except for a few Li Qian and her good friends, she didn't invite anyone else, but after learning about this celebration, almost all the people who often deal with Minghu culture took the time to rush over to congratulate them.

Of course, a lot of people came, congratulated, chatted, and then left.

Even Huafei Film and Television, which has had a lot of discord with Minghu Culture in the past year, Hu Fei arranged for a deputy general manager of the company to come over and congratulate him in person.

Liu Chengzhang's film is still being filmed, but he also arranged for Fang Baijin, a mutual friend of him and Li Qian and one of the most famous art directors in China, to rush back to Shuntianfu to congratulate him.

As for the internal side of Minghu Culture, almost all the contracted directors, actors, musicians, singers, screenwriters, etc., as long as they are in Shuntianfu, and as long as they can get out of the way, basically none of them will be left behind, and they will all be present!

And the actors who have participated in "Red Sorghum" and the staff behind the scenes are naturally basically the same.

Later...... It's a bit like a tacit enthronement ceremony.

And at this enthronement ceremony, Li Qian didn't appear until five or six o'clock, before he appeared, Qi Jie, Jin Han, Han Shunzhang, Fu Xuelong and Qin Jingjing were the most eye-catching focus in the field!

It is natural for Qi Jie to become the focus, but at this special time today, with the award of "Red Sorghum" selling again, many actors, agents, etc. gathered around her, but it has a different meaning.

Because of the words, everyone is inquiring about the legendary Li Qian's new movie that has been in preparation for half a year.

That movie is currently in the domestic film industry, and there are already different opinions - the more reliable, and part of the overlap in various rumors, is that Li Qian's new film will be jointly invested and filmed by China and the United States, aiming at the global market, especially the North American market!

Before "Red Sorghum" won the award in Berlin, even if Li Qian already had the $145 million box office that "Once Upon a Time" got overseas, everyone still had a bit of a feeling that Minghu Culture was bragging about Li Qian's new film targeting the North American market.

Before "Red Sorghum" achieved an amazing box office without being a literary film, everyone was still skeptical about whether Li Qian could really control a "global movie" and promise not to hit the streets or lose money.

But now, in everyone's hearts, Li Qian seems to have completely proved himself.

So, everyone set up almost-

New movies need investment in words you speak!

What are the right roles in the new movie...... Of course, there is no problem with supporting roles, it is best to have lines, and it is not completely unacceptable to have no lines, I hope to consider the actors of our company.

After the completion of the new movie, our theater chain will definitely give the highest level of film scheduling treatment!

And so on and so forth.

Most of the people surrounding Jin Han and Han Shunzhang are inquiring, and it is said that Lake Culture has won the TV series adaptation rights of Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which has become popular in China in recent years......

Even if there is no martial arts masterpiece that is already being prepared by Minghu Culture, Minghu Culture has steadily produced about three popular TV series with explosive ratings every year in the past two years, and it is also extremely hot for many film and television companies and brokerage companies - if you can get a role in the TV series of Minghu Culture, it will be very refreshing! Because the TV series produced by Minghu Culture is absolutely a hit, and it can be particularly popular!

Therefore, Han Shunzhang, as the de facto manager of the film and television department of Minghu Culture, is certainly the most popular, and Jin Han, as the film and television director of Minghu Culture, focuses on films, and is also highly sought after on the scene.

And even Lu Lingxi, after the trailer of "Carry on Love to the End" has landed on Huaxia TV's Channel 1 for warm-up, and it has been finalized that it will be broadcast by a set of Huaxia programs in the summer, as the thirteenth aunt in "Huang Feihong", and the talented and beautiful director in reality, she is also quite sought after.

Although "Carry on Love to the End" has not yet been broadcast, and I don't know what the situation will be when the time comes, as Li Qian's teacher during his study at Shuntian Film Academy, it has been rumored that the two have some underground teacher-student romances, and she is obviously the director of Minghu Culture to praise next, so if she can take a role in her next play, it is wonderful enough to think about it!

And then there'...... Fu Xuelong, and Qin Jingjing.

Of course, the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival suddenly pushed the two of them to a high position that they had never dared to think of before!

Fu Xuelong is the first Chinese filmmaker in China to win the best cinematography at the three major European film festivals!

Therefore, if the award is completely used as the criterion for judging, it is absolutely no problem to say that he is the best cinematographer in the current Chinese film industry.

As for Qin Wei's royal photographer Gu Shidao, the Best Cinematography Award at the Cairo International Film Festival in Egypt - please, it sounds good and is called an international award, but when it is put together with the Silver Bear Award for Best Cinematography at the Berlin Film Festival, it is too far away!

And Qin Jingjing ...... Many people see Ming Xiaojing's present in her!

Even, because of the backing of Li Qian and Minghu culture, in the eyes of many people, as long as Qin Jingjing is not stupid, then when she reaches Ming Xiaojing's age in the future, her achievements and status in the rivers and lakes will definitely surpass Ming Xiaojing!

No matter how powerful Ming Xiaojing is, it is nothing more than wearing the crown of a Venice Film Festival queen on her head, but for many years, she has followed Qin Wei to make literary films, even if she does not cooperate with Qin Wei, she is also looking for literary films to shoot, so that in the domestic film market, everyone believes in her acting skills and knows her strength, but no one dares to trust her box office performance!

But Qin Jingjing is different.

Whether Li Qian is personal, or the film and television department of the entire Minghu Culture, he is known for being good at creating popular TV series and blockbuster movies!

In other words, as long as Qin Jingjing hugs her thighs well, her future achievements will definitely not stop at a Berlin Film Festival actress!

Even in terms of the commercial performance of the movie, she can become an existence standing side by side with Fu Hongxue and He Yingyu - as long as the box office of the next movie can reach a good result, her commercial value will be quickly discovered, and then it will really be no worse than Fu Hongxue and He Yingyu!

…………

At 5:40 p.m., Li Qian appeared with Wang Jinglu, Zhou Yan and He Runqing.

And one in one hand, holding the eldest prince and the little princess of the Li family.

The scene was thunderous.

Qin Jingjing, who had just avoided a group of people who didn't want to deal with her, was hiding in the corner with Liao Min and eating secretly, and when she saw Li Qian coming, she was the first to stand up.

Everyone applauded, and she applauded.

The force was so great that it didn't take long for the palm of the hand to hurt.

In the past two or three years, from being downtrodden to being ignored, and even almost forced to take advantage of others' drinking, to later defecting to Minghu Culture and Li Qian, along the way, no one knows better than her what Li Qian has brought to herself, and how much it has! No one knows better than her how important what Li Qian has brought to herself!

At this moment, she looked at Li Qian's gaze, almost admiring.

Of course, there is a little bit of inexplicable affection.

It's just that at this moment, she was still one of the big focuses of the audience just now, including Qi Jie, Jin Han, Han Shunzhang, Fu Xuelong, etc., was instantly ignored by everyone.

All eyes converged on Li Qian.

From the moment I got off the bus in the villa, applause rang out.

admiration, jealousy, excitement, anticipation, envy, resentment, appreciation, worship......

And so on.

Li Qian hugged a pair of children and walked proudly.

Along the way, he nodded frequently and greeted his best friend.

Li Shesheng is more than two years old, and Xiao Li Cha is also one and a half years old, so there is no stage fright at this time.

Two pairs of big black eyes, looking at this person for a while, looking at that person for a while, extremely novel, but also extremely excited.

However, when Li Qian walked to the steps of the villa, under the thunderous applause, the people who were originally standing or sitting in the villa also came out one after another, He Yingyu saw the sound of a small shot, and stretched out his arm, the little guy saw it, and immediately wanted to break free, and whispered, "Hug...... Hug ......"

He Yingyu laughed and walked over to pick up the little guy.

Seeing this scene, invariably, Bai Yujing and Qin Jingjing's faces quickly flashed with envy - well, yes, there is no way, Li Shesheng likes He Yingyu's little aunt very much, and she especially likes to let her hug her, and it will not work if she changes anything else.

Oh, by the way, Li Cha likes Xie Bing very much.

…………

Handing over a pair of children and daughters, helplessly watching them become cuties that many people were fighting for, Li Qian turned around, folded his hands, and nodded to the crowd in the villa.

When the applause fell slightly, Li Qian cleared his throat and said, "Uh...... I didn't like this kind of celebration banquet, celebration cocktail party and the like, because I think that I am still on the way, I still need to continue to work hard, and it is not yet time to celebrate! But this time, everyone is very happy, they didn't expect the box office of "Red Sorghum" to be so good, and I didn't expect it, so I said that I wanted to do it, so let's do it, usually everyone is busy with their own things, and now it's just this opportunity to get together. ”

Speaking of this, the audience didn't know who took the lead, and began to applaud again.

Li Qian smiled, waited for the applause to stop for a while, and continued: "Those who come are all acquaintances and friends, and I don't talk so much nonsense." Everyone let go of eating, drinking, and playing, and there are no taboos for the celebration banquet! Uh, next, on April 20th, our company has a movie to be released, called "Big Names", the publicity has begun, before the release, everyone will help with the publicity, and after the release, everyone will help support the box office!"

Speaking of this, he folded his hands again and said with a smile: "Here, I thank you all in advance!"

As soon as Li Qian's words fell, Qi Jie, who was standing not far behind him, suddenly said loudly: "If the box office of "Big Shot" can break 300 million, we are still here to celebrate!"

With this sentence, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became a little split.

There are some people, most of whom are people within Minghu culture, who laughed when they heard this, and some wanted to applaud, but most of the other people were stunned for a moment, and then they laughed and applauded.

"Big Shot"?

The work of the notorious Feng Bicheng?

300 million box office?

Hehe.
