Chapter 1242 Seventy Birthday

Jiang Xia's retirement has been troublesome for half a year.

Before the release of "The Last Emperor", a new wave of heat was ushered in.

Interestingly, "The Last Emperor" is the only movie in Jiangxia that does not have a trailer.

For this movie, Qianqiu Pictures only gave a copywriting promotion: the end of "Jiangxia Works".

It seems that "Jiangxia Works" is regarded as a work that has been serialized for decades, and now it is about to come to an end.

As Jiang Xia said before, ending with "The Last Emperor", whether it is the title of the movie or its quality, it is very much in line with Jiang Xia's purpose.

In fact, the overall quality of "The Last Emperor" is a little higher than that of "Tengwang Pavilion".

The plot of "Tengwang Pavilion" is its weak point, which is well made up for in "The Last Emperor".

Pu Yi's life is much more legendary than Wang Bo, and the story is much stronger, and it is also better in terms of movie presentation.

But it didn't do well at the box office.

As Jiangxia's last film, they all thought that "The Last Emperor" could grab $400 million at the box office even if it was an art film, but it didn't.

The box office of "The Last Emperor" was not high, but it was not bad on the first day of release, with an income of 60 million US dollars, but it has been declining.

Until the next release, the box office was only more than 300 million US dollars.

Contrary to the box office, the reputation of the movie is quite high.

If "Teng Wang Pavilion" a year ago scored nine points overall, then "The Last Emperor" is nine and a half points, which is an absolutely excellent movie.

However, there is a serious lack of commercialization.

In this movie, Jiang Xia completely abandoned the commercial elements and made this movie like a documentary of a biography.

Although "Tengwang Pavilion" seems to be a biography, it shows Chang'an City more, and Wang Bo does not have many scenes.

"The Last Emperor" really takes Pu Yi as the protagonist and tells his life.

The movie that Jiang Xia finally took out really had his usual high level.

The conductor for his cameo in the film was circled, and this was the last shot he left in the film.

Jiang Xia's proud protégé He Ying posted on social media: "Mr. Jiang's last few movies have been carrying out a different kind of farewell, the protagonist of the myth, acting together in ancient and modern times, with many scenes. The clown in the Dark Knight, Mr. Jiang has changed from the protagonist to a supporting role, but perhaps it is nostalgia, Mr. Jiang's role and performance in the Dark Knight overshadowed the protagonist. Then there is Mr. Jiang's Teng Wang Pavilion, and the role is reduced to a real supporting role. The current last emperor only made a cameo appearance for two seconds. Mr. Jiang is saying goodbye in his way, gradually reducing his role, and gradually letting himself say goodbye to the stage of the movie. Now, he's really said goodbye to the stage, and we're missing one of the best filmmakers in history. ”

I have to say that He Ying is worthy of being an actor brought up by Jiang Xia, and she has a very accurate grasp of Jiang Xia's psychology.

Jiang Xia's idea had never been mentioned to anyone except Gong Shan and others, and He Ying could actually guess that she really knew Jiang Xia very well.

During the release of "The Last Emperor", the Oscars also announced the nomination award, and "Tengwang Pavilion" was shortlisted for not many awards, but the "Best Director" award can almost be said to be in Jiangxia's bag.

Except for Jiang Xia, no one deserves this award.

At the same time, after the release of "The Last Emperor", next year's "Best Director" is almost in Jiangxia's bag.

And that's exactly what happened.

Jiang Xia rarely became the director who defended the "Best Director", and when "The Last Emperor" won the award, Jiang Xia was also awarded a lifetime achievement award separately.

No one has any meaning for any awards for Jiang Xia's two films, these two films deserve these awards, Jiang Xia himself deserves the Lifetime Achievement Award, Jiang Xia's contribution to the film industry, and his contribution to film art are all witnessed by all filmmakers.

Jiang Xia still didn't come to accept the award, on the chair that belonged to Jiang Xia, there was still no one sitting, and the camera came, and it was still an empty seat with only names.

Zhang Luofu accepted the award for him, as a well-known director today, many people know him, and they all smiled at him very friendly, and applauded him.

After that, Zhang Luofu gave an acceptance speech for Jiang Xia.

It's very short, as simple as the acceptance speech that many people say when they accept the award for Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia himself watched the live broadcast at school.

He is now the principal of this Hope Primary School, and except for a very few people, no one knows that the former world-class superstar is hiding here as the principal of an elementary school.

The daily work is very simple, take the children to music lessons, and take care of the children, don't let the children be too naughty, and don't let the children learn badly.

After a few years, on Jiangxia's seventieth birthday, Gongshan brought a gift to Jiangxia.

"What is this?" Jiang Xia asked curiously.

"I've been making documentaries for a few years, see?" Gong Shan said.

"Okay, take a look. Jiang Xia nodded.

On his seventieth birthday, the whole family came here, Zhang Luofu came with his wife and children, Anne flew from abroad with her husband, Jiang Chenxi came with her husband with her child, Li Tana also came with her fiancé, and even Little Jack came with her fiancée.

Cheng Xin, You Fangfei, Zhang Pengpeng, and Natalie have come over a long time ago and have lived here for a while.

The family is happy, but Jiang Chenxi's child is too young and needs to be taken care of, and Zhang Luofu's baby can already play soy sauce.

"Why are you all smiling so mysterious?" Jiang Xia asked curiously.

Zhang Luofu said while operating the player: "You'll know later." ”

"God is mysterious. Jiang Xia glared at him.

Zhang Luo smiled and did not speak.

When the movie started, on the big screen, the first thing to appear was the Oscar ceremony.

"It was ...... who won the best director"

"It was ...... who won Best Actor"

"It was ...... who won Best Supporting Actor"

Different award presenters read different awards on stage, followed by a shot, which is a seat, only a name sticker, and no one is sitting in a seat.

All the awarders read out the next name: "Jiangxia!"

Countless voices of "Jiangxia" gathered together and became the name of the film - Jiangxia.

Jiang Xia turned his head to look at Gong Shan, and found that the others were looking at him.

"Who are you?" Jiang Xia asked.

"How about a gift for you, a congratulatory gift for your 70th birthday?" Gong Shan said.

"Looks pretty good, this is my documentary?" Jiang Xia asked.

"Yes. Zhang Luofu said, "The script written by Aunt Shanshan herself, coupled with the one we have perfected together, is definitely the most suitable movie for you." ”

"yes, let's take a look. Jiang Xia said with a smile.

No one noticed that his eyes instantly swelled with a hint of polish, and he pressed it down again.

When you're old, someone makes a documentary dedicated to documenting your life, and that feeling is really hard to describe.

Jiang Xia was very moved, but he also pressed it down and watched the movie seriously.
