Chapter 034: Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers
Lionsgate's entire 07 years have not been smooth, and most of the films produced and distributed by themselves have received mediocre responses, basically maintaining a break-even, which is equivalent to playing for nothing. Fortunately, "Hurricane Rescue" and "Double Treasure Demon Fight" were released at the end of April and August respectively. The former helped Lionsgate earn back $40 million in revenue, and although the latter only got $20 million at the box office, the cost was very low, plus the publicity funds invested in the later stage were $5.1 million, and the cost was recovered only through the box office of the movie. In the future, in the videotape market, every box sold, you will make a box of money, which is a net profit.
No one will miss the gold mine in front of them, not to mention that this gold mine has only just mined two pieces. Good things naturally follow his family, Jason told his father about this film project for the first time, and Ludy thought that this project was feasible after reading the script in detail. Lu Di is actually quite confident in Li Xiang and Jason, Li Xiang's talent in script creation is needless to say, Jason also showed his directing talent through "Double Treasure Fighting Demons", and after all, he earned more than 4 million through "Double Treasure Fighting Demons", so Lu Di decided to continue to support his son and put 3 million into the film budget.
So far, the movie budget of "The Dead" has reached 8 million, which is basically enough, if there is a tight budget during the filming, and then find Lionsgate for help, Ludy is responsible for communicating with Lionsgate, which is not a problem. Jason informed Li Xiang of the good news as soon as the project was established in "The Dead". Li Xiang originally planned to go to North America to go around and go to Jason's crew to see what he could do to help, but as a result, Fiber Optics informed Li that he wanted to participate in various award events at the end of the year, and the plan for a trip to North America was temporarily put on hold.
The first is the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award held at the end of October. How to say this award, the biggest controversy is that there are always 'double yolk eggs', the best and the best must be only one, our golden rooster and hundred flowers can be good, well versed in the way of Tai Chi Yin and Yang, this trick cloud hand hit that makes you a superb. It's a pity that the audience doesn't buy it, are you insulting our IQ by sitting in a row? So the ratings of Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers have been declining, and no one has paid attention to this award except for industry insiders.
Li Xiang's "Hurricane Rescue" was nominated for 4 awards, including Best Debut Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography (Song Xiaofei), and Best Art (Hao Yi). But in Li Xiang's opinion, there is more or less hope for this best debut director, and it would be good if the others could be nominated. But the face that should be given to the film festival is still to be given, Li Xiang and Yang Mi participated in the awards party that day.
There were many fans on both sides of the red carpet with Yang Mi's support slogan, and when they saw Li Xiang and Yang Mi appear on the red carpet, fans screamed wildly. The two kept waving to each other, grinning and chatting with each other.
"Mimi, you still have a lot of fans, tsk...
"Sister, I'm red, are you jealous?"
"It's good if you're happy, it's good if you're happy!"
"What do you mean?"
"Look, your value has risen a little fast recently, and I'm still thinking about the new TV series prepared by Optical Fiber, so don't get on it, or the budget won't be enough. ”
"Is the fiber optic TV series good?"
"I'm a screenwriter, what do you say?" As a reborn, this bit of self-confidence is still there.
"If you don't need me, don't touch me in the future!"
"Don't don't, don't be happy, this script is tailor-made for you, Niangniang is angry!" "I really disdain Li Xiang's groveling appearance, you are a reborn Alas, you have so many resources, Yang Mi is gone, don't you still have sugar candy, poetry, and sweetness, eh... It seems that an unknown person has crept in.
The young lady has been in the limelight recently, the heroine of the best-selling movie "Happy Death Day", Wang Zhaojun in Yang Ma's annual drama "Wang Zhaojun", and her status is catching up with Sister Tianxian who is still dominant. Rong Xingda is very smart, and according to Yang Mi's own personality characteristics, he created a character design for her as a young girl, which really attracted a lot of passers-by. At that time, the stars were still mysterious, and there was a sense of distance from fans, and the role of the young lady in "Happy Death Day" was very likable and down-to-earth.
Which goddess will run around the campus naked PP? Which goddess will eat junk fast food? Which goddess will put a sound P after eating fast food? Which goddess will think carefully and have an IQ online throughout the whole process? It's a pity that Sister Tianxian was too demonic during that time, and the four popular TV series were a BUG, otherwise it is not known who is the first little flower girl now.
Li Xiang as a reborn person, he can kick the pain, punch Ahri, sit under the ass of Wanda, establish his own business empire, and then invade the entertainment industry on a large scale, applaud whoever he wants, isn't it beautiful? This is not in line with his character, he is not so ambitious, even if he has made up his mind to become the founder of the prosperous world of China Entertainment, he also expects to use the way he is good at to accomplish this ideal.
In addition, he will not have any bad habits of longwangshu, there are thousands of beautiful girls, after all, only one belongs to you, since they all get along with each other very happily, what is the importance of dignity and face? After all, people live for themselves. On the road of feelings, no one knows where they will get off the bus, or they will sit together at the terminal, all you can control is each other who are still on the bus, and at the same time enjoy the scenery along the way.
···
"When will your daze be corrected, it's your turn to win!" Yang Mi secretly pinched Li Xiang, her man is talented, but sometimes he likes to be in a daze. You said that you don't pick a good time when you're in a daze, and people are announcing the best debut director!
"Oh, I'm sorry I was thinking about things just now. Li Xiang came back to his senses, and Zhang Guoli and Deng Jie were opening the envelope of the list of best debut directors on the stage.
"The winner is Li Xiang's "Hurricane Rescue"! Congratulations to director Li Xiang!" The audience applauded.
"Yay!" everyone in the crew hugged Li Xiang, and then Li Xiang tidied up his suit and walked on stage.
"Thank you, Mr. Guoli and Mr. Deng Jie. Thank you very much to the judges of the film festival for their recognition of me, this award is not only for me, but also for the recognition of our "Hurricane Rescue" crew, and I am also very grateful to the fans and friends who went into the cinema to support "Hurricane Rescue", thank you!"
There was no deviation from Li Xiang's expectations, and the crew of "Hurricane Rescue" also won this award, the best screenwriter was awarded to the four screenwriters of "Tokyo Trial", the best cinematography was given to Zeng Nianping, the cinematographer of "Door", and the best art was given to Yi Zhenzhou, the art designer of "Ink Attack", so far Li Xiang's first award ceremony trip is over.
