Chapter 976: "Truant Dragon" premiered
Yang Ming held the trophy in his hand, thinking about the impact of "Transformers" winning the Palme d'Or.
He really didn't expect that Chairman Jerome Hoyle and Vice Chairman Sparker Snow, the two bigwigs of the Cannes Film Festival Organizing Committee who had a relationship with him in the UK before, would make such a big move.
To be honest, he didn't expect "Transformers" to win the Palme d'Or at all.
Even if it is considered to be a film that marks the official arrival of the era of 3D movies, Yang Ming feels that "Transformers" is extremely reluctant to win the Palme d'Or.
If it wasn't for the Palme d'Or, but for other awards, he wasn't so worried in his heart.
Niu Hua saw Yang Ming's frowning expression and didn't continue to speak, he knew what Yang Ming was thinking.
Previously, when he went to France, Yang Ming had already told himself why he didn't want to go to the film festival in person, or in Niu Hua's own opinion, it was a miracle that "Transformers" won the final Palme d'Or.
After a while, Yang Ming didn't think long before he made a decision in his heart.
He said to Niu Hua: "Brother Niu, are you interested in representing the crew at the Oscars next year?"
Since he didn't go to the Cannes Film Festival in person before, it was better for him not to go to the Academy Awards.
If it is placed in normal times, Yang Ming chooses one of the film festivals to attend in person There is no adverse impact at all, after all, there is a big difference between the Cannes Awards and the Oscars, one focuses on art, the other is biased towards business, and he can't pee in a pot at all.
It is normal for many directors to choose only one of the film festivals to attend.
But now Yang Ming is forced into a very embarrassing situation by the Cannes Awards, or his every move will be taken under a magnifying glass by the media with a heart, and countless meanings will be extended.
So at this sensitive moment, once Yang Ming made the decision to attend the Oscars in person instead of going to Cannes, it would inevitably cause unfavorable interpretations from countless entertainment media.
Neither of them went, but only participated in their own Golden Dragon Award.
Yang Ming doesn't want to be a pawn in the fight between the two major film festivals, but his pawn is more expensive.
Niu Hua blinked when he heard Yang Ming's suggestion, and instantly understood Yang Ming's intentions, he pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "No problem, it's a good thing for me anyway." ”
Hearing Niu Hua's answer, Yang Ming didn't say much, and when the time comes, there should be no big problem with Barber and Niu Hua attending the Oscars on behalf of the crew.
The twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, that is, the day of the premiere of "Truant Dragon".
Jing Yongchang's new comedy film with a great change in style has also attracted a lot of people's attention, including the media and fellow directors, all of whom want to see what kind of comedy movie the script created by Yang Ming himself after Jing Yongchang joined Oriental DreamWorks.
Some sharp-eyed people also obviously saw from the several versions of the trailer released by "Truant Dragon" that this new film is not similar to the urban black satirical style that Jing Yongchang has been famous for in the past, and they are full of curiosity about this movie.
Today, the film will unveil the mystery.
The premiere ceremony of Oriental DreamWorks' new film this time was very grand, not only many well-known stars in the company, but also people who were free came to cheer for director Jing Yongchang in person.
At the same time, many of Jing Yongchang's own friends and contacts were also invited to add luster to today's premiere ceremony.
Although the cast announced in the movie "Truant Dragon", except for a male number two, who is an old actor in the entertainment industry, is quite famous, the male number one and the female number one are basically newcomers in the entertainment industry, and not many people have heard their names before.
It's just that the newcomer who plays the female number one, in the announced play, is quite beautiful, and it can be said that Yan Zhi crowned all the movies in the entire Spring Festival.
Yang Ming also took Su Su to the scene to cheer for Jing Yongchang in person, which attracted many reporters to take crazy photos.
When the premiere ended, Yang Ming felt that the effect was okay through the reactions of everyone in the theater.
At least the laughter has not stopped.
Although Qiu Xiaotian is a newcomer, his exaggerated and funny performance in the movie caused everyone to laugh more than once.
The female number one played by the newcomer is even more beautiful and stunning, and the memory is still fresh.
It's just that when many guests, media reporters, and film critics watch "Truant Dragon", they always have a weird feeling.
If it weren't for the fact that Jing Yongchang was the director of this movie, it would be an ironclad fact, and it is estimated that everyone would think that this movie was likely to be shot by another director.
This style difference is too big, or it completely subverts Jing Yongchang's previous film style, and there is no similarity.
Although the premiere effect is good, Yang Ming is most concerned about the box office results, and Jing Yongchang is even more anxious and worried, basically he didn't sleep all night.
After all, he is the director of this film, and it is a transformation work that changes his style.
Box office success is crucial to him and proves the success of his choice.
As for what film awards, or professional recognition, this was never on his radar.
Just after twelve o'clock in the evening, Oriental DreamWorks got the box office data for the premiere of "Truant Dragon" tonight.
18 million Chinese dollars!
According to this trend, the final box office score of more than 200 million should not be a big problem.
When Jing Yongchang knew this box office data, the whole person's heart finally relaxed and did not mess up.
This box office figure is not good, nor is it bad, compared to the highest-grossing films he has made in the past, excluding inflation, this result is still slightly inferior.
However, for Jing Yongchang, who has changed his style and changed his old club, this result is still acceptable.
And he also knows that this box office data is far from reaching its peak, and the arrangement of this schedule, the release of the first two days of the Spring Festival is just a warm-up and spread word of mouth.
The box office is really strong, and it will have to wait until the first day of the Lunar New Year.
It's just that the controversy in the media about Jing Yongchang's movie is relatively big.
"From urban black humor to commercial funny, Jing Yongchang has come to a gorgeous transformation, but can his fans accept his change?"
"A comedy film with a very personal style, Jing Yongchang's transformation work, not only brings us a new film with heart, but also brings us an alternative comedian Qiu Xiaotian. ”
"Comedy, police and bandits, campus, all successful business elements are blended together, typical Yang Ming's technique, although Jing Yongchang is the director of this movie, and Qiu Xiaotian, the starring actor in the movie, also shows great comedy talent, but I have to say that this movie has a Yang Ming style from the inside out. ”
These are the media that are fair to the point, but some media don't have such a good attitude.
