Chapter 360 of the main text is a knight's order

Next chapter

Two weeks later, "What Those Times Taught Me" encountered a challenge, and "Insincerity 2" directed by Feng Dacang was released on December 16.

The film's previous film, "Insincerity, Don't Disturb", had a good reputation and box office, and was the domestic box office champion in 2008.

So as soon as this sequel was released, it immediately grabbed more than 50% of the film schedule, squeezing the film schedule of "Those" to only about 25%.

This is the first direct competition between Feng Dacang and Zhang Tan at the box office.

Of course, there are just a few artillery pieces who are unwilling to lose in the "Ash Slag Armageddon", publicizing this showdown, shouting for Feng Cannon to kill Zhang Tan. In fact, no one responded, because it was obvious that "Bad Faith 2" was a commercial comedy that came for the box office.

What kind of box office showdown between commercial films and literary films, isn't this nonsense?

"It's very, I was dizzy at the beginning! Why put these two movies together! "The king will regret it very much.

"Insincerity 2" is a commercial comedy blockbuster invested and filmed by Huayi Brothers.

"What Those Times Taught Me" is a domestic distribution and romantic literary film represented by Huayi Brothers.

Originally, there was no conflict between these two movies at the box office, so when they were released, Huayi Brothers staggered the arrangement for half a month, and they all squeezed the New Year stalls. In the king's mind, in half a month, he was able to squeeze out the box office of "Those", collect tens of millions, and then treat it as a movie with a taste and release it on a small scale in the Chinese New Year.

This idea can't be said to be wrong, but the mistake is that it underestimates the ability of Zhang Tan's new film to attract money.

Even before the box office of "Those" was squeezed out, "Insincerity 2" was released, and there was no way to change the scheduled schedule.

Of course, this is the trouble of happiness.

The king will be distressed that the extra money that should have been earned will definitely be affected now.

Li Yan, the boss of Luying, also complained about this, thinking that Huayi Brothers' distribution work was not meticulous enough: "We Luying does not do distribution. That's why I chose to cooperate with Huayi Brothers, I hope you can take Tan Zhang's movie seriously, even if it is a literary film, you must be fully prepared. ”

"Yes, yes. I'm sorry, Mr. Li, this is my mistake, it's my mistake! "The king will be very sincere, as long as he can make money. What is it to be complained, "Mr. Li, don't worry, with this lesson, there will definitely be no such omission in the next cooperation." Moreover, Tan Zhang is also a shareholder of our Huayi Brothers. ”

Li Yan was angry, the king would be annoyed, but Zhang Tan himself didn't really care much.

He's got something else excited these days.

Luying has reached a distribution agreement with the French Cansbell Film Company, and will soon release "What Those Times Taught Me" in France, after Luying and Cansbell Film Company. There has been a collaboration on the distribution of the Source Code.

The French box office of "Source Code" is about $2.8 million, which is so-so and okay, and this "Those" is more to the taste of the French.

On the eve of the release, that is, a few days ago, Zhang Tan received other news, the French ambassador to China personally called Zhang Tan and told Zhang Tan that the French Ministry of Culture had confirmed that Zhang Tan had been awarded the "Ordre des Arts et des Lettres de France". This is the highest medal awarded by the French government to the literary and artistic circles.

Established in 1957 by the French Ministry of Culture and Communications, it is one of the four French ministerial decorations of honor to recognize French nationals and foreigners who enjoy a high reputation in the arts or fields, or who have made special achievements and outstanding contributions to the promotion of French and world culture.

There are three levels. The lowest is the knightly medal that Zhang Tan obtained, followed by the officer's medal and the commander's medal.

Zhang Tan was able to receive this medal not because his new film was to be released in France, but because his complete set of martial arts novels, the French version of which had been translated and published by Fengyou Bookstore.

This French version of "The Complete Works of Tan Zhang Martial Arts". It is sold all over Europe, mainly to libraries in some cities or universities. Chinese martial arts novels also have a certain reputation in the world, even if foreigners can't understand them, it's good to buy a set back and collect them.

As a result, I don't know if the novel is full of romance, and the French version sold unexpectedly well in many European countries. Especially in France, the sales results are very good, and it cannot be said that it is all the rage, but it is also on the best-selling list.

Pan Xu, the owner of Fengyou Bookstore, told Zhang Tan that after the French version was put on the shelves, it was mainly the five copies of the Condor Trilogy, Tianlong and Xiaoao that were popular, and the total number of copies sold was about 400,000 copies.

"It's a bestseller, and the French love the romance in these martial arts stories."

Because of this, with the release of this set of novels, Zhang Tan received a knight's medal.

Of course, there are not a few Chinese who have won the Knight Medal, basically every year, such as Zhang Chao, Zhou Taiping, and Zhang International, who have all won this medal before.

Therefore, this knight's medal is basically used for pretending.

Originally, if Zhang Tan could not go to France, this knightly medal could be issued to Zhang Tan by the French Embassy in China. But it just so happened that Cansbell Film Company was going to hold a premiere for "What Those Times Taught Me" and invited Zhang Tan to attend.

As soon as the two things came together, Zhang Tan planned to go to France in person to receive medals, attend the premiere, and meet Pan Xu, the owner of Fengyou Bookstore, to learn about the French version of his novel.

……

December 14, 2010, in the hall of the French Ministry of Culture.

In the presence of Zhang Tan's wife Susa, friends Chen Li and Liu Anfeng, as well as Pan Xu, the owner of Fengyou Bookstore, and the Chinese ambassador to France, the French Minister of Culture, Aurelie Filippetti, hung the Knight of the Order of Culture and Art on the chest of Zhang Tan's suit.

The green ribbon with four white stripes resembles a flame-emitting sun, but the flame is green.

All in all, this knightly medal is not good-looking.

Zhang Tan doesn't like green.

Aurelie Filippetti then said: "Where there are Chinese, there are Tan Zhang's novels, and in the future I will rewrite Tan Zhang's novels wherever there are French, he is a great writer, and you will be impressed by his whimsical ideas." You can also learn about the Chinese people's thoughts on history and culture through guò's works. ”

Tan Zhang responded: "I like the French writer Alexandre Dumas very much, his works have had a deep impact on me, and I hope that my novels can build a bridge of communication for French people who like Chinese culture." ”

Then, several people put on a po color for the Chinese and French reporters at the scene to take pictures.

At the end of the show, Aurelie Filippetti said to Zhang Tan: "I know that your film is about to be released in France, you are both an excellent writer and an excellent director, and I look forward to awarding you a higher rank of commander in the near future." ”

Zhang Tan is also not modest: "I think it will be soon." ”

"Then it's better to hurry, I still have 2 years to serve, if it is exceeded, I will have to be awarded to you by another person, I will be very sorry."

"I try not to keep you waiting too long."

"Haha, you are a very confident one of the Chinese I have ever met, so I wish your film a big hit in France." (~^~) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
