Chapter 661: Rise?
Imperial Capital, in the headquarters building of the Imperial Capital Times, in the office of the editor-in-chief.
Gao Lei, as usual, came to the World Movie Network, ready to watch the new round of box office of "Under the Three Kingdoms".
In fact, this has become a habit of Gao Lei, although this habit has not been developed for a long time.
Every time, when Gao Lei sees the daily box office ranking of "Under the Three Kingdoms" on the world movie network, her heart will surge with excitement, no other, because this is a domestic movie in China, especially when she sees "Under the Three Kingdoms" ranking first, she has a strong sense of pride in her heart!
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this pride that she has developed the habit of watching the World Movie Network every day.
"Twenty-one million dollars? When Gao Lei saw the ranking of "Under the Three Kingdoms" in the eighteenth place, she was still quite satisfied, without him, now "Under the Three Kingdoms" has been released for almost 20 days, and now she can still get a daily box office of 20 million US dollars, which is already quite good.
"Wait, 20 million beautiful knives!" Suddenly, Gao Lei seemed to think of something, and she opened her eyes wide, revealing an incredible look.
Gao Lei didn't speak, but quickly moved her mouse and quickly clicked on the computer page.
Soon, the computer page jumped to a new page, and this page is the top 100 movies in the world!
Gao Lei directly crossed the top forty and looked directly at the ranking of about fifty.
Sure enough, Gao Lei found a familiar name in the fiftieth place.
No. 50, "Under the Three Kingdoms", global box office, 901 million US dollars.
Seeing this name, Gao Lei's breathing sound became significantly heavier.
"Really, it's really in the top 50, Hu Yu didn't say anything big, China's first global top 50 movies were born!" As a professional journalist and an editor-in-chief who is biased towards entertainment news, Gao Lei feels that today is really wonderful.
"That's right, news!" Gao Lei suddenly realized something, only to see that she quickly picked up the phone on the desk and dialed a number.
"Hey, is it Xiao Zhang? I'm Gao Lei, has the newspaper been sent out today?"
"Sent out? Okay, I know, inform the editorial department, we need to add an issue today, and the headline on the front page of the additional newspaper is, "Under the Three Kingdoms" has entered the fifty clubs, and Chinese films have ushered in a new era!"
"Inform the editorial department, write the manuscript as soon as possible, I need to review it!" Gao Lei said into the phone.
Subsequently, the entire "Imperial Capital Times" began to act, but the reporters in the editorial department were quite energetic, because this was the glory of China.
"Under the Three Kingdoms" became the world's top 50, and the news soon spread throughout the Chinese entertainment circle, and then throughout China.
Imperial capital, a mansion, in the study.
Lao Mouzi looked at the global box office rankings and was speechless for a long time.
The global box office ranking can be said to be the dream of every director, and the lifelong dream of many directors is to direct a film that can enter the world's top 100, be famous through the ages, and leave their own mark in the world film industry.
In the international film industry, there is such a sentence that a director who has not entered the world's top 100 cannot be called a world-class director at all.
This sentence has also been recognized by all world-class directors.
In fact, there are two main aspects to evaluate whether a director is a world-class director, the first is to look at honors, if you want to become a world-class director, you must get your own honor at the world's four awards.
Second, it is to look at the ranking of the world's top 100, and only when you officially enter the circle of the top 100 will you be recognized as a world-class director by your peers.
In other words, on a global scale, there are less than 100 truly world-class directors (some directors have several films ranked among the top 100 in the world), and those directors who have withdrawn from the world's top 100 cannot be called world-class directors, at most they can be regarded as pseudo-world-class.
To a certain extent, Lao Mouzi is a pseudo-world-class director, because he has won honors in the four awards, and there are still a lot of awards, but unfortunately, none of Lao Mouzi's movies have entered the top 100 in the world at the box office, let alone the top 100, and even the first 200 do not have Lao Mouzi's name.
This is why Lao Mouzi has been obsessed with making commercial movies in the past ten years, he wants to prove himself!
He thinks that when the world mentions him, they will say, "Look, this is Zhang Yimou, the pride of our Huaxia, a world-class director", instead of saying, "Look, this is Lao Mouzi, a director who can only shoot art films, has won a lot of money at the world's four awards, but none of the films have entered the world's top 100." ”
It can be said that entering the world's top 100 has become an obsession of Lao Mouzi.
Especially now, when he sees one of his juniors breaking into the world's top 100 twice in a row, and even this time, entering the world's top 50, the feeling in his heart is even more uncomfortable.
"Could it be that I really don't know how to make commercial films?" At this time, Lao Mouzi had a trace of doubt about himself.
It was this suspicion that made Lao Mouzi make a decision that shocked Huaxia not long after, and even shocked the world.
Of course, this is already a later story, and as for now, Lao Mouzi is still thinking about it.......
North America, City of Angels, a wealthy villa area.
"Jensen, Jensen!" In the distance, a familiar voice reached Jensen's ears.
Jensen, 50 years old this year, is a director, well, a world-class director, his masterpiece is "The Roman Empire", which finally ranked 50th in the world's top 100 at the box office, and achieved a global box office of 900 million US dollars.
Oh no, Jenson should be fifty-first by now, because the fiftieth place is Hu Yu's "Under the Three Kingdoms"!
However, "Roman Empire" brought Jensen the title of world-class director, and also, brought him his first title of best director.
In fact, many times, high-grossing movies are more likely to win movie awards.
If you think about it, you will know the reason, generally speaking, the reputation of a movie that wins a high box office will not be bad, and the reputation is not bad, which means that its quality is relatively good, and the quality is good, and it is naturally easy to win awards.
This is why the top 10 of the world's top 100 won the award softly.
If nothing else, let's talk about "Titanic", the former No. 1 movie, is really a box office honor, not only won a lot at the Oscars, but also won a lot of honors in the other three awards in the world.
Let's get back to business.
"Hughes, what's the matter, so urgent?" Jenson put down his watering jug and looked at the agent Hughes who came over.
Xiusi said: "Jensen, to tell you a bad news, your "Roman Empire" is no longer the fiftieth, and the current fifty is Huaxia Hu!"
"Huaxia Hu?" Jenson muttered to himself when he heard the name, "I see." ”
