Knightly Medal of Arts.

Zhang Tan's award was not very surprising, nor did it cause much repercussions, but it still brushed a wave of forced qualifications, in this peaceful era, it is very fashionable to get a medal.

You must know that medals are generally awarded to soldiers who have made meritorious contributions in the war, and there are very few medals other than military personnel. China also has medals, which are basically obtained by the People's Liberation Army, or by people who have made meritorious contributions to important historical events. In addition to medals, China also has a number of medals, badges, commemorative medals and the like.

There are basically no opportunities for anyone other than military personnel.

Therefore, as a cultural person, Zhang Tan wants to hang a shining medal on his chest, and he can only start from a foreign country. France is the best place to start, with the Legion of Honor and the Legion of Honor, in addition to this Medal of Arts and Knighthood.

Other than that, it's basically impossible.

"Knight Zhang, congratulations." Chen Li exaggerated the appearance of a knight to the knight.

This time when he came to France to attend the premiere of his film and receive the medal, Zhang Tan not only brought his wife Susa, but also invited two friends, Chen Li and Liu Anfeng, to travel together.

When you take the medal, do you have to have someone to celebrate it with?

"It's just a medal, not a knight." Zhang Tan straightened the position of the medal with his hand, "But in ancient times, as soon as I hung this medal, I properly belonged to the aristocratic class." ”

Liu Anfeng looked at Zhang Tan after wearing the medal: "It's not the right time to be born." ”

Zhang Tan shook his head: "But no, if we really go back to the era of awarding honors and dividing knights, the ghost knows if we can be reincarnated into a noble family, in case we become commoners, in addition to risking death to go to the battlefield, otherwise we will have to kneel for the noble lord for the rest of our lives." ”

Chen Li said: "This is like many people now, who are talking every day about the freedom of the Republic of China, but now life is not free, what is the beautification of the Republic of China, there are still so many people who believe in how beautiful the Republic of China is." ”

"It's all about watching TV and movies. Seeing the Republic of China on TV, the poor boy and the rich lady, or the rich boy and Cinderella, how legendary and romantic the love is. One by one, I can't wait to travel through the past by myself. The Qing court drama is the same, the concubine of the Shenma Emperor is as beautiful as an immortal, if you really see the photo of the concubine of the Qing Dynasty emperor, you have to kneel immediately. ”

Zhang Tan has seen the photos of Qing Dynasty concubines circulating on the Internet, one by one ugly ghosts. Although the photographic technology was very poor at the time. will make people ugly, but the basic outline will not change, that Guangxu's Concubine Jin, her neck is thicker than her face...... But think about it, many of the royal family are political marriages, and beauty and ugliness cannot be guaranteed at all.

It is no wonder that Qianlong wanted to go to the south of the Yangtze River six times to find Daming Lake on the bank of the summer rain lotus.

The group left the hall of the Ministry of Culture in idleness, and Pan Xu, the owner of Fengyou Bookstore, made an east at noon and invited everyone to dinner. After eating, the group went to Fengyou Bookstore, and Pan Xu wanted to give everyone a set of "The Complete Works of Tan Zhang Martial Arts".

A set of samples had been sent to Zhang Tan before. This time, Zhang Tan asked for another ten sets, and he was going to take them back and give them away, this kind of foreign language version of the martial arts novel is very high.

"I thought that to publish the French version of the martial arts novel, I would have to post a little money to it, but now the sales are good, and I basically have to pay back, and I still have to make money. I guess you don't like that little profit anymore, so we won't talk about money, I'll communicate with Li Yan. Over there, the publication of the English version has been stranded. ”

"So I'm going to take over the publication of the English version, and I like your novels very much, and I feel that I should promote them to a wider range," Pan said. ”

There is someone willing to publish an English version. Zhang Tan has no choice.

It is very difficult to publish martial arts novels in foreign languages, and at present, only the Japanese and French versions of Zhang Tan's novels are relatively smooth, and the translation work in other languages, although it is said that the copyright has been removed, has not moved.

Especially the Korean version. There are many readers of Zhang Tan in South Korea, but it is the hardest hit area of piracy, which can be described as a flood, and the publishing house that led zhì to buy the genuine copyright is afraid to print it. This is really helpless, South Korea's piracy is stricter than China's piracy, as we all know, n more movie resources, all of them flow out of South Korea, and they are all 1080p high-definition......

Fortunately, at present, Zhang Tan no longer needs to rely on novels to expand overseas markets to make money, so he has a laissez-faire attitude towards foreign language versions of pirated books, and the important thing is to promote his novels.

Let foreigners feel the charm of martial arts.

For example, the English version, if there is no piracy to promote it, then it can only be on the genuine version.

……

The next day, "What Those Times Taught Me" premiered at the Beaugrenelle Cinema in Paris, France.

Beaugrenelle Cinema is an art cinema, mainly showing films of the literary genre, in Europe and the United States, there are many such cinemas that specialize in showing literary films.

Strictly speaking, Zhang Tan is not well-known in the French film industry, and if it weren't for last year's "Source Code", most people wouldn't know who he is. However, thanks to his martial arts novels, as well as this time when he won the medal of art and knighthood, there are still cards to play.

In the promenade of the cinema, many movie posters printed by Cansbell have been put up.

"Tan Zhang, a knight from China, premieres his new work "What Time Taught Me" here."

"Twenty-four-year-old literary heroes and famous directors bring art and romance to the Chinese."

"What if you acquired the time-traveling superpower at the age of 21?"

"Zhang Tan, the future leader of Chinese directors."

The slogan is also bright and colorful.

This successfully attracted a large number of audiences to stop in front of these posters, and the premiere in the afternoon was attended by about 40 media outlets, and the rest were audience members who had booked tickets in advance. Literary films from abroad will always attract a group of French people who like literature and art to try something new.

After the movie ended, these French audiences applauded enthusiastically.

"It's great, I'm touched."

"I saw the romance in the bones of the Chinese, and the director's creation brought me a very pleasant enjoyment, and I think I have fallen in love with Chinese movies."

"I'll go to the cinema again."

"The temperament is very charming, I like the smile of the heroine, the first half is full of surprise and humor, the second half touches your heart, the whole story is so exciting."

At the subsequent exchange meeting, many French media, as well as many viewers who were reluctant to leave, sent out many questions to ask director Zhang Tan.

Zhang Tan does not know French and can only rely on an interpreter to communicate, which gives him time to think fully and not have to rush to answer, so he can say the answer as perfectly as possible.

All in all, the premiere was a great success.

Afterwards, the media also widely praised "What Those Times Taught Me".

The French newspaper Le Monde commented: "The Chinese director has brought a charming romantic love movie, and "What Time Taught Me" is full of charming humor and warmth. ”

Le Figaro reported: "Tan Zhang, a young Chinese genius director who once made us known with a "source code", has just been awarded the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (ORDI) for his writing achievements, and yesterday his latest film "What Time Taught Me" premiered in Paris to great applause. ”

The European Times, the largest Chinese-language newspaper in Europe, reported in detail the news of Zhang Tan and his entourage coming to France on the mainland news page, and commented on the film: "Tan Zhang was praised by the Chinese media and audiences as a symbol of the future of Chinese films, and this time he brought a literary film, without the poverty and social problems of previous Chinese literary films, some are just romantic and beautiful." ”

This movie has been praised by most of the media.

Immediately after the premiere, the film was released, and "Those" was screened in nearly 800 theaters in France, of which 222 theaters screened "Those". A total of 125,000 people watched the movie in the first weekend, which was about $790,000 in US dollars according to the French movie ticket price, ranking seventh at the box office that week.

It's not very good, but considering the factors of Chinese films, literary films, and low-ranking films, $790,000 has already made Cansbell Pictures feel satisfied.

……

At the same time, in the third week of "Those" in China, it was hit by "Insincerity and Don't Disturb 2", and the box office was cut in half, falling by more than 50%, and it got 40.05 million yuan in a single week. Although the box office has fluctuated greatly, the total box office has accumulated to 178.62 million yuan, and there is a great hope of breaking 200 million.

The box office of literary films is 200 million, and this record is already an unforgettable record for other literary films. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
