After getting married and having children, Zhao Zhenghao became a lot more mature.

Mature, in some people's understanding, is "the same light with the dust", and the mature Zhao Zhenghao, in the change, there is also the component of "the same light with the dust", but he himself does not think so.

Now that he has received invitations to those award ceremonies with limited influence that he disdained before, as long as he has time, he will try his best to participate, not to "go along with it", but to understand the truth of "the sedan chair is carried by everyone".

If he wants to go further and stand taller in the entertainment industry, he can no longer play single-player like before, act according to his own personality, and need to pay some compromises for it.

In fact, when filming "Journey to the West", Zhao Zhenghao was already trying to compromise with the film industry, and introduced a lot of foreign funds in the investment, and when the project "Infernal Affairs" was established, it was even introduced to Penguin Pictures, a giant in the industry.

In terms of capital, Zhao Zhenghao has actually compromised, otherwise with the profitability of "Zhenghao Studio", not to mention "Infernal Affairs" with an investment of only 300 million, even if he has invested 1 billion in a really large number of films, he can eat it independently.

Moreover, the introduction of foreign capital by other production companies is mainly to diversify risks, and a tome film with an investment of more than one billion yuan will not pose a big burden to the six major film companies in Longguo, but if it is a sole proprietorship, there are still some risks.

But for Zhao Zhenghao and "Zhenghao Studio", investing in movies, the risk of losing money is almost none!

The films shot by Zhao Zhenghao are all successful experiences in previous lives, films that have been tested by the market, and are of good quality, coupled with Zhao Zhenghao's personal box office appeal and the strength of the cooperative distribution company, there is no risk of loss.

Such a prudent investment is naturally the target of everyone's coaxing.

This is also the reason why after the "Zhenghao Studio" released its investment, investment flocked to it.

Zhao Zhenghao does not have much ambition for money, and after achieving financial freedom, he is still able to maintain a strong desire to work, more because of the pursuit of fame.

This is also what the "super idol" system requires of him.

Relying only on the income from the music field of "Zhenghao Studio", Zhao Zhenghao can already be free from the trouble of funds, making movies, making money is not only not the primary factor, but even the top three cannot be ranked.

Therefore, when filming "Journey to the West", he began to introduce external funds, and when filming "Infernal Affairs", he directly reached a comprehensive cooperation agreement with Penguin Pictures, one of the six major film companies.

Now it seems that it worked well.

If "Infernal Affairs" is still just a wholly-owned film of "Zhenghao Studio", the net profit of "Zhenghao Studio" from it may be higher than now, but it is difficult to say whether it can break the single-film box office record in the history of Dragon Kingdom films, and whether it can be so successfully shortlisted for so many nominations for the Golden Goat Award.

"Infernal Affairs" did well at the box office and was nominated for the Golden Sheep Award, which is directly related to Penguin Pictures' publicity and public relations.

If it weren't for choosing to cooperate with a giant like Penguin Pictures, and still choosing to cooperate with a second-rate distribution company like "Nine Star Entertainment", "Infernal Affairs" would not necessarily have the current results.

Cho Jung-ho once again returned from the American Music Awards, and the fan response of Dragon Country is still enthusiastic.

Although Zhao Zhenghao has established a global momentum in the field of music, he has won the American Music Awards not once or twice, but only won two awards this year, which is much worse than last year's sweeping situation.

However, in the entire Dragon Country music circle several times, there are still only a handful of people who can win world-class music awards like Zhao Zhenghao, who are internationally renowned and like the American Music Awards.

Driven by Zhao Zhenghao, the development of Longguo Music overseas has made great progress in recent years, and the world tour of king-level figures such as Liu Runze, Ju Qinghao, and Cao Ningyuan is finally no longer limited to Southeast Asia, and has also become famous in Europe and the United States.

Although it can't be like Zhao Zhenghao, a 100,000-person concert can be held casually, but the tickets for a large-scale concert of tens of thousands of people are still not sold.

However, even veteran kings and queens like Liu Runze and An Shuyi dare not say that at the American Music Awards, all awards are optional.

In awards such as the American Music Awards, which are voted for by the audience, and awards such as the Billboard Music Awards, which are selected by professional data, Cho Jung-ho's popularity can be exerted to the extreme.

However, in awards such as the Grammy Awards and Golden Melody Awards, which were selected by professional judges, Zhao Zhenghao's performance was slightly weaker.

Of course, this "slightly weaker", only relatively.

He only won two awards at this year's American Music Awards, because he has not released a new song in the past year, and his performance in the Grammy Awards and Golden Melody Awards, which are about to announce the shortlist, is also the reason.

When Zhao Zhenghao released a new album, his momentum was unmatched!

Zhao Zhenghao's scarf was once again dominated by fans, and he strongly called on him to extend the itinerary of the "legendary" world tour, and after ending the fourth stage of the trip in North America, he added a fifth stage in the Dragon Country!

Zhao Zhenghao solemnly replied to the fans, "I'll think about it again." ”

Holding a few more concerts will not add too much additional burden to Zhao Zhenghao, the team is mature, the program list is also ready-made, the first three stages of the "legendary" world tour are over, and seventy or eighty shows have been held, Zhao Zhenghao is already familiar with all the processes, and he is familiar with it, and even rehearsals can save a lot of effort.

The fans' voices are too high, and Zhao Zhenghao can't turn a blind eye, which will hurt the hearts of fans too much.

Besides, if you don't take the money you stuff into your hand, you don't take it for nothing.

However, even if the "legendary" world tour itinerary is extended and the fifth stage is added, according to the established schedule, it will be at least more than half a year later, so there is no need to be in too much of a hurry.

Now, Zhao Zhenghao's attention is all on the 32nd Yangcheng International Film Festival (Golden Sheep Award), which is about to kick off.

Since it is a film festival, of course, there can be only one award ceremony, the award ceremony of the Golden Goat Award is only the closing ceremony of the Yangcheng International Film Festival.

The Golden Goat Awards ceremony is preceded by a four-day film festival where producers from all over the world gather for the event.

This "global scope" is really global, not the so-called "global" in Zhao Zhenghao's previous life, which is actually just the self-entertainment of the third world countries of the movie.

During the Yangcheng International Film Festival, not only producers from the third world come here with their works to look for opportunities, but also European and Hollywood production companies will also come with their works.

The current Dragon Country Film Market is the world's largest film market, and this year's estimated annual total box office will be as high as 180 billion Dragon Kingdom dollars, which is more than 27 billion US dollars according to the current exchange rate.

The United States, once the world's largest film market, has an expected annual total box office of only about $18 billion this year, and even if Canada is added, the total box office of the entire North American region is only about $20 billion.

More than ninety percent of the total box office of the Dragon Kingdom Film Market is contributed by mainstream cinemas, but the share of art cinemas that have gradually established and opened up a certain market is also increasing year by year.

Art films are still niche in the Dragon Country Film Market, but as of the end of October this year, the total box office of the national art theater chain has accumulated 10 billion Dragon Coins, and the total annual box office is expected to reach 13 billion Dragon Coins, accounting for about 7% of the entire market share.

Don't look at this market share is not large, but due to the large base, the volume is not small.

In Europe, the base camp of global art films, the total market for art films is only about 2 billion euros, which is only about 15 billion euros.

Therefore, the current Dragon Country Film Market can be said to be a paradise for the competition, and the introduction quota of Hollywood blockbusters is controlled by the government, but the art film market is developed.

It is precisely because of this that the three major film awards ceremonies of Dragon Kingdom have such a high international status, and their reputation is close to the three major European film award ceremonies, only slightly inferior to the Oscars.

The opening of the 32nd Yangcheng International Film Festival was on the evening of November 21, and Zhao Zhenghao had already received an invitation letter from the organizing committee of the film festival, so after ending the itinerary of the American Music Awards on the morning of the 20th Dragon Country time, he did not stay in the United States and returned to Dragon Country directly.

When I landed in Yangcheng, it was already the afternoon of the 21st, and it was less than five hours before the opening ceremony began.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhenghao's dress has been prepared a long time ago, and "Zhenghao Studio" has no films for sale at this film festival, his job is very simple, just to stand on the platform for the film festival and attract popularity.

Although Zhao Zhenghao does not have the title of the actor of the three major film awards ceremonies in the Dragon Kingdom now, his status in the Dragon Kingdom film circle has been established, and he is not as good as old actors such as Wang Bangmin and Wu Hai, but he is not much inferior to Guo Ziping.

Coupled with his identity as a director and investor, in fact, he is already a powerful figure standing at the top of the pyramid of the Dragon Kingdom film industry.

It's just that, firstly, he doesn't have this consciousness, he used to make movies on a stand-alone machine, and he didn't have much communication with other people in the film industry; second, he didn't have the ambition to dominate the film industry of the Dragon Country, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, as long as others don't take the initiative to provoke him, he won't play prestige casually.

As for the confrontation in the promotion of the movie when it was released, it was just a commercial behavior, everyone knew what was going on, and on the surface, they were fighting,-for-tat, and you lived to the death, but in fact, no one would take it to heart.

In particular, Zhao Zhenghao has always been the winning party at the box office, and he will not be cheap and sell well.

When he first crossed over to the film industry, most of the people in the industry were watching his jokes and thinking that his cross-border behavior was just nonsense.

However, with the withdrawal of "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Journey to the West", and "Infernal Affairs", which are more successful than the last, those who are waiting to see his jokes have become jokes themselves, and the cynicism that once made him cross-border behavior has evolved into pretending to be forced and being slapped in the face.

Now, no one dares to despise Zhao Zhenghao anymore, his cross-border is not fooling around, but a dragon crossing the river!

If, at this year's Golden Goat Award ceremony, "Infernal Affairs" can win several heavy awards, then Zhao Zhenghao's momentum in the Dragon Kingdom film industry will no longer be able to be suppressed.

Therefore, in the order of appearance on the red carpet of the opening ceremony of the film festival, Zhao Zhenghao was paid attention to and was arranged in a very backward position, and Guo Ziping was arranged to appear in front of him.

Originally, Zhao Zhenghao and Guo Ziping could appear together because of their relationship with the crew of "Infernal Affairs", but the opening ceremony of the Yangcheng International Film Festival and the Golden Sheep Award Ceremony, the main content of the closing ceremony, are not quite the same.

In fact, two sets of teams can be counted.

The opening ceremony of the Yangcheng International Film Festival is the opening ceremony of the entire film festival, the theme of the film festival is to promote the film and build a trading platform for global producers.

The Golden Goat Award selects films that have been publicly released in theaters.

From a certain point of view, the entire Yangcheng International Film Festival can be regarded as a combination of the three major European film festivals and the Oscars.

This is the national condition of the Dragon Kingdom, one team does two things, killing two birds with one stone.

How effective it will be will be up to you.

Therefore, when attending the opening ceremony, big-name superstars like Zhao Zhenghao and Guo Ziping participated in their personal capacity, but when there are films participating in the competition and bidding of this film festival, they can also walk the red carpet in the form of a crew.

For example, Feng Xiaojing, because of the film she participated in, participated in the competition of this film festival, so when she walked the red carpet, she chose to walk with the crew, instead of choosing to be Zhao Zhenghao's female companion.

At this time, Yu Yabin was the best candidate to be Zhao Zhenghao's female companion, and it was agreed before, but in the past two days, Diandian's body has a little condition, and she has a little illness, and Yu Yabin doesn't want to leave her in such a situation.

As a result, Zhao Zhenghao could only walk the red carpet by himself.

When he got out of the car and stepped on the red carpet, he received the warmest cheers from the fans, Guo Ziping, who had just walked halfway through the red carpet, was still enjoying the love of the fans, waving frequently to the fans on both sides, the red carpet scene changed abruptly, and the fans began to shout "Brother Hao"!

Guo Ziping is very depressed, his status and momentum in the film industry, at present, is slightly better than Zhao Zhenghao, after all, he already has a Golden Goblet Award Best Actor trophy in hand.

However, although the coffee position of movie actors is much higher than that of singers in the entertainment industry, movie actors are not as good as singers in terms of attraction to fans.

The age of loyal fans is generally between 20 and 35 years old, and people in this age group are the main force of the movie-watching group, contributing eighty percent of the box office; relatively speaking, the lower limit of the age of fans is much lower, can be 16 years old, or even lower.

Boys and girls at the age of fifteen, sixteen, sixteen or seventeen are of course much more obsessed with idols than adults in their twenties!
