Zhang Jingchu is not the first to win the award, even the Berlin Film Festival actress has already won it, but when she heard that "All the Nights in the World" won the award, she was still so excited that she burst into tears, and her whole person was trembling from head to toe.

Zhang Ran saw Zhang Jingchu sitting on the chair and couldn't stop crying, so he quickly pulled her up, gave her a hug, patted her on the back gently, and said, "Good baby, don't cry, don't cry!"

Zhang Jingchu sneered and laughed, and smashed her fist on Zhang Ran: "I hate it, you are the baby!"

Yu Feihong and Yan Bingyan are both in their 30s, and after hearing Neil Jordan read "All the Nights in the World", the two of them jumped up directly, danced like children, and then hugged each other with a smile.

After Zhang Jingchu hugged Zhang Ran, she hugged Yu Feihong and Yan Bingyan, and then hugged several domestic colleagues next to her. After receiving everyone's blessings, Zhang Jingchu pulled Yu Feihong and Yan Bingyan happily onto the podium.

"What a good movie, congratulations!" Neil Jordan and Zhang Jingchu hugged the three of them, handed the Golden Kirin trophy to Zhang Jingchu, and then stepped aside.

Zhang Jingchu stood in the center of the stage, held the trophy in her hand tightly, looked at the guests and the audience in the stand, and said with a smile: "Thank you to the Tokyo Film Festival, thank you to the jury of the film festival for awarding me this award." Thank you Sister Feihong, thank you Sister Bingyan, and thank you to all the staff of the crew. In particular, I would like to thank the author Chi Zijian, for writing such a perfect book, without which there would be no movie. This is my first film, and I will make more and better films in the future, and I hope that one day I can become a great director like Varda!

When the words landed, applause followed.

After Zhang Jingchu walked off the stage with a smile on her face with the trophy, this year's Tokyo Film Festival ended smoothly.

Chinese films won five awards at the Tokyo Film Festival: Best Film, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Artistic Contribution Award and Most Popular Award, which can be regarded as a bumper harvest.

Of course, there was also a super unlucky guy born at this Tokyo Film Festival, which is Neil Bergman, the director of "Intimate Grammar". According to the normal trajectory of history, he won the Golden Kirin Award in 2002 with "Broken Wings", and this year he will lift the trophy of the Golden Kirin Award for the second time with "Intimate Grammar". But in this life, he was first robbed of the Golden Kirin Award by Zhang Ran's "Bursting Drummer", and this time he was robbed of the Golden Kirin Award by Zhang Jingchu's "All the Nights in the World" again. Neil Bergman also doesn't know, if he does, he will definitely cry: "I have a grudge against the two of you, and I won't let people live?"

After the news of the Chinese film's resounding victory at the Tokyo Film Festival came back to China, it quickly aroused heated discussions among netizens. At the opening of the film festival, there was a conflict because the Taiwan delegation was unwilling to call China Taiwan Bend, and a storm broke out. Now that mainland filmmakers have returned victorious, and the Taiwanese filmmakers have not received anything, netizens feel that they are proud and sneering at the Taiwan delegation.

"This year's Tokyo Film Festival is full of hype, and as a result, all kinds of awards have been won by our mainland actors, I really don't understand the mood of those people who shed tears and pulled their ties because they didn't have to walk the red carpet. ”

"Jingchu, Binbin, Wang Qianyuan, you are too powerful! Our mainland filmmakers are cows!

"It's so pitiful, I cried my father and called my mother at the scene, but Xiao Ri Ben still gave the award to the mainland movie, and even Fan Binbin, who was not there, won the award, I just laughed to death!"

After the closing of the Tokyo Film Festival, Zhang Jingchu did not return to China with Yu Feihong and them, but came to Ireland with Zhang Ran. Two days after Zhang Ran took Zhang Jingchu to Dublin, the filming of "Future Apocalypse" restarted. Zhang Jingchu stayed in the crew as Zhang Ran's life assistant and assistant director.

After lunch that day, Zhang Ran and Robert De Niro chatted on the set. Zhang Jingchu ran over in a hurry, stuffed the mobile phone into Zhang Ran's hand, and said loudly: "Zhang Ran, take a look, something happened!"

When Zhang Ran heard that something was wrong, he quickly picked up his mobile phone and took a look, only to see that the news headline read: "Wanda Group acquired MGM Pictures for 6.5 billion yuan, ambitious layout of overseas markets".

At the beginning of this year, Zhang Ran heard Wu Ruide say that Wanda planned to buy MGM and AMC, and he was not surprised that Wanda bought MGM. It wasn't until he read the content of the article that he learned that Wanda Group and MGM Pictures held a signing ceremony in Beiping this morning, Wanda acquired MGM Group for $2 billion, and at the same time assumed MGM's debt of up to 4 billion, and Wanda will also invest $500 million for film shooting, and the entire transaction is as high as $6.5 billion.

When Wang Jianlin talked about the merger and acquisition of MGM, he came up with three reasons: first, MGM's most valuable property is the library of up to 4,000 film and television works, as well as the ownership of the "007" series of films, and half of the ownership of the "Hobbit" series of films. There are great synergies in the children's entertainment industry, second, the acquisition will increase Wanda's voice in the global film market, and third, Wanda's film production company will be able to learn from Legendary Pictures up close.

Looking at Wang Jianlin's smug face on the mobile phone, Zhang Ran exhaled gently, Wang Jianlin, this guy is really courageous, 05 years Sony spent 4.8 billion to acquire MGM, but it did not change the trend of MGM's deterioration, in this case, Wanda dared to spend 6.5 billion US dollars to accept MGM's hot potato, which is really not something that ordinary people can do.

However, Zhang Ran also knew that Wang Jianlin dared to spend 6.5 billion yuan to buy MGM, and he must have seen the key point for MGM to reverse its predicament.

In the previous Wanda, when it acquired AMC Cinemas, many people were not optimistic about this acquisition at first. After all, the cinema chain is already a sunset industry in the United States, and under the invasion of the Internet wave, it is becoming more and more difficult to persuade people to enter the cinema; and AMC has lost money for 9 consecutive years before fiscal year 2007, with a cumulative loss of more than 500 million US dollars, and after fiscal year 2007, it is also a loss and a win, and Wanda's debt has been as high as nearly 2 billion US dollars when it was acquired, so many people are saying that Wanda is losing money and making money.

After acquiring AMC, Wanda turned AMC into a profit in just one year. Soon after, AMC successfully went public in the United States, raising nearly $400 million, and Wanda's stake in AMC doubled from $700 million at the time of acquisition to $1.4 billion.

This time, Wanda should have the same idea for acquiring MGM, which is to buy MGM, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, turn the company into a profit in a short period of time, and then repackage MGM to go public. This is not delusional, MGM has the ownership of the "007" series of films, and half of the ownership of "The Hobbit", as long as the two cards of "007" and "The Hobbit" are played, Wanda is really likely to make MGM turn a profit and repackage it for the market.

After the previous MGM went bankrupt in 2010, "007: Skyfall" grossed $1.1 billion worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing film in 007's history, and "The Hobbit," a co-production with New Line Pictures, also made $1.02 billion. Driven by the two films, MGM generated $1.4 billion in revenue and $128 million in profit in 2012, and in 2013, MGM's profit increased to $156 million. Due to the company's good performance, MGM estimated that it had reached $8 billion before Zhang Ran's rebirth.

Wanda apparently saw the potential of "007" and "The Hobbit", the possibility of MGM turning a profit, and the possibility of going public with MGM packaging, otherwise they would not have spent $6.5 billion to buy MGM.

In Zhang Ran's view, Wanda's acquisition of MGM also has a lot of drawbacks, such as Wanda's commercial real estate company responsibility itself is very high, now Wanda's market value is close to 200 billion yuan, the debt is more than 100 billion, plus the acquisition of MGM 6.5 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to an increase of more than 40 billion yuan of debt, that debt is even higher; and Wanda will next acquire the cinema chain, make itself the world's largest cinema operator, and then establish its own distribution system. In this way, another billions of dollars, Wanda's debt is even higher. If the market has been on the upside, Wanda Commercial will naturally sit back and relax, but once it goes down, it will be extremely risky!

In addition, Wanda has a particularly fatal thing in that Wanda is a real estate company and does not understand movies at all, while Wang Jianlin is a bit eager to do things for quick success, and is likely to blindly embark on film projects, which is a lesson from the past.

In 198.9, Sony acquired Colombia for $3.2 billion, but Sony didn't understand movies at all, and after Sony moved in, Colombia fell into huge losses, and by 1995, the cumulative loss of the whole of Colombia reached $3.2 billion. In the second year of Sony's acquisition of Columbia, Sony's rival Panasonic Group acquired Universal Pictures and its parent company MCA, Panasonic also did not understand movies, and was also anxious about the operation of MCA, and in 1995, Panasonic sold MCA to the Canadian wine giant Sigma.

With Wang Jianlin's quick success and quick profit, it is a place in Hollywood where people can't pay for their lives, and I'm afraid it will be a mistake. Of course, even if Wang Jianlin wouldn't have made a mistake, Zhang Ran found an opportunity to push him and let him fall into the pit!

But this matter is not in a hurry, now Zhang Ran and Century Peak have no time to settle accounts with Wanda, and now Century Summit is also planning an acquisition, which can be said to be a gamble, the risk is very large, but as long as it succeeds, Century Summit can be a truly first-class company.

Zhang Ran smiled at Zhang Jingchu: "Wanda is nothing, our real opponent is not him, we have our own things to do, don't pay attention to them." ”

Zhang Jingchu didn't know Zhang Ran's plan, and she never asked about it, but when she heard Zhang Ran say this, she said: "I heard that Wang Jianlin is very small-minded, since he has had a conflict with you, he will definitely continue to make small moves!"

Zhang Ran smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, now we don't go to him for trouble, she should ask God to worship Buddha, where do you dare to provoke us." ”

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is late November, and the filming of "Future Apocalypse" is also coming to an end, and the final finale scene is also coming as scheduled.

Today is a conversation between Colonel Gu and Major Adams before the assassination, and Colonel Gu tells Adams that after the Langfang blockade, the human army has begun a full-scale counteroffensive, in this case, the robot leader has decided to use a nuclear bomb to destroy the Earth's ecosystem, and then destroy the entire carbon-based biosphere. Sensing that this was wrong, Colonel Gu decided to assassinate the head of the robot, and his weapon was the saber that had been hanging from his waist for so long.

There are a lot of dialogues and lines in this scene, and there are a lot of lines. It was no small test for Robert De Niro, an old man who was nearly seventy years old.

This scene was filmed from morning to afternoon, and finally ushered in the last shot, ushering in the real finale scene.
