No one knew that the director and actors were there, and the applause from the audience was completely spontaneous. The applause gradually converged into thunderous sounds, which surrounded the entire theater. In the box, Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia were close together, closing their eyes and quietly experiencing this feeling.

We all know that's what it feels like to win. When you are immersed in it, you will be able to feel it thoroughly and appreciate it. For Xiao Ran, this is a different feeling from being a director.

If directing is a kind of indulgent beauty, then what the actor is getting now is a sense of satisfaction, perhaps it might as well be called a purer kind of happiness. I am happy that my work has been recognized by others, and I am happy that my son who is pregnant in October is praised by everyone for being smart, which is not particularly obvious, but it is an indirect feeling that makes people excited.

The next day, Li Zhuotao and other film critics published their own articles in newspaper columns, as if the critics had talked about it beforehand, and all praised the film as one of the best romance films in Hong Kong so far.

Among them, Lin Chaorong's comment is the most incisive, he mentioned in the article that it is not only smooth, but also comparable to Hollywood in terms of special effects. But none of this is the point, the point is that Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia's performances are absolutely perfect, especially in the last scene, the cooperation between the two is absolutely impeccable. Not only is the tacit cooperation terrible, but he even asserted that Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia are fifty percent sure of winning the award at the next Academy Awards. That last scene alone is enough.

Xiao Ran is very proud of this, and there are three details in his most admired performance, which he thinks are absolutely impeccable. One of them is Fa Ge's crazy gambling performance in "God of Gamblers", which is extremely delicate in all aspects.

The second is the scene of Liang Chaowei being shot and killed by Fa Ge face-to-face in "Hot Hand Detective", this shot is very clear and very delicate to change his expression from horror to despair to the rest of his life, and finally the resentful look is fully expressed, Xiao Ran even thinks that this scene can be described as a classic example of performance.

The third is the part where Xingzi was humiliated in front of Zhong Liti by pulling his hair in "The King of Destruction", Xingzai's performance at that time was extremely plain, and the feeling of helplessness and humiliation completely rendered the atmosphere to the extreme through his eyes.

He always thought that with the three delicate performances of these three actors, he should definitely win the Oscar. And now that he has received a similar evaluation, this is tantamount to promoting him to the status of a recognized actor like Fa Ge and them, which makes him not ecstatic.

Li Zhuotao, who knows Xiao Ran best, mentioned in the film review that the scene in the middle of the film and the scene at the end of the film are not very similar to Chen Kexin's techniques, but they are very similar to a certain lens processing technique used by Xiao Ran in "Spy Change" and "Dark Flower", but there is such an inspiration.

Li Zhuotao believes that the performances of several leading actors are indeed very important, but he believes that the key to the success of the film lies in the extremely adventurous and peculiar handling of those two plots. And such an abnormal and extreme technique, few people in Hong Kong can play so skillfully, except for Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran had to admire Li Zhuotao, and he could even see this. But Li Zhuotao saw more than this, and in the whole film, the hero and heroine couldn't even pull their hands, and this kind of metaphorical treatment is even more admirable.

In this regard, Xiao Ran was ashamed. In fact, this technique has nothing to do with him, but Zhang Wanyao's proposal. Zhang Wanyao's "Autumn Fairy Tale" is like this, Fa Ge and Hong Gu have not even dragged their hands in the whole film, but their feelings are described very profoundly, which is ten times more clever than many films that love and love at every turn.

Xiao Ran didn't expect that it was precisely because of this that the film was finally rated A-grade, that is, it can be aimed at audiences of any age. It is important to understand that there are very few films that are rated as A every year, and the content and images must be very pure to get this rating.

In this way, the box office effect is extraordinarily different. Because of the extremely consistent word-of-mouth and various indirect publicity of the Phantom Friends, the box office of the premiere was 4.5 million, and it was as high as 20 million in ten days. There were 40 million in a month, and the box office can be described as continuous, and the stamina is extremely long. It was released for 100 days, broke through the 60 million mark, and finally stayed at 72 million, setting a new box office record and release time in Hong Kong with an irresistible momentum.

For this number, Xiao Ran was speechless, and it was simply regarded as an unsurpassable number. At present, there are more than 5 million people in Hong Kong, which means that the film is watched more than once per person in Hong Kong. It is definitely an extremely terrifying number, and I am afraid that only "Titanic" has hope of defeating it.

If it is the ticket price in 2005, this means that the box office of this film is more than 300 million. I'm afraid that in terms of the number of real audiences, "Titanic" is definitely inferior. Xiao Ran has a headache for this box office figure, so I am afraid there is no hope of breaking the record in the future.

For this box office figure, not to mention the media, it is the industry that is shocked. Don't forget that at the moment, 20 million is a very good number. And "The Love of People and Ghosts" actually got 72 million, which is a miracle at all.

In fact, although Xiao Ran listed this film as one of the highlights of the annual release, he and the planning department only expected that the box office of this film would only be 40 million, and the box office in Asia was even more exaggerated.

The miracle (marketing department) company, which experienced the marketing war of "Spy Change" last year, was not in a hurry this time, but methodically sold the film within ten days. In terms of this, it is much easier because there is a sharing plan.

For a time, "People and Ghosts" beat the record set by "Spy Change" across the board, with the box office in South Korea and Yuben reaching more than 200 million and 600 million respectively, and the box office in Taiwan also broke the box office of "God of Gamblers", becoming the first film to break through 150 million.

The film was also released in the mainland, although for some reason, the miracle was only slightly promoted within the permitted limits. However, according to later statistics, the mainland box office reached at least 300 million.

Excluding the mainland, the total box office in Southeast Asia created by "People and Ghosts" is close to 1.3 billion, far exceeding the record of "Spy Change", and the screening time has almost set the longest record in various places. Xiao Ran believes that such a grand occasion may only be created by "Titanic".

In Europe, this English-language film successfully plundered the runner-up in the European annual box office, with a box office of 650 million Hong Kong dollars. The champion is "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3", with a box office of 800 million Hong Kong dollars.

When the film was being released in most parts of the world, several major Hollywood companies successively extended olive branches to the Phantom, promising that it would be released in mainstream theaters, and finally negotiated a price of 80 million Hong Kong dollars.

And the box office of this film in Hollywood is actually not very high, only more than 90 million US dollars, which just happened to fall behind "Drive for Miss Daisy" and "Warm Family". I have to admit that this is already the biggest success of Hong Kong films in the world.

In the end, the global box office of "Ghost Love" reached 350 million US dollars, or 2.8 billion Hong Kong dollars. With this number, it successfully entered the fourth place in the top ten box office lists of global movies for the year. The first two are "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3" and "Batman", both of which are above $400 million.

It is no exaggeration to say that the film broke numerous local and Southeast Asian records, and even became the highest-grossing film overseas. broke the record and became the first Chinese-language film in history to be among the top ten box office in the world.

After the success of the Phantom Company in this film, it has successively issued more than 10 million rewards, and even Chen Kexin, who was originally paid only 100,000 yuan, has received millions of rewards. While everyone was smiling and vowing to do a good job in the film, Chen Kexin was undoubtedly much more excited than the others.

Chen Kexin is definitely fame and fortune this time, not to mention profit, just the first director who can get the qualification for sharing in addition to Xiao Ran makes him one of the top directors in Hong Kong. With the unexpected popularity of this film, his name has become known around the world. Moreover, he was an instant hit.

Even Hollywood studios beckoned to him, but unfortunately, he had no plans to go to Hollywood. As one of the people who have more contact with Xiao Ran in Phantom, he is relatively aware of Xiao Ran's ambitions, and he is very eager to achieve such a great cause and impact Hollywood with his works. Moreover, he did not forget that it was Xiao Ran who promoted him, and it was Xiao Ran's two key opinions that made this film qualitatively improved.

As for Xiao Lin, it couldn't be more popular, but no one would be stupid enough to dig their horns. In the outside world, Xiao Ran's worth has risen to three million at one time, and Lin Qingxia is also as high as 3.5 million. It's a pity that other film companies are still not as fast as Phantom in this regard, and when Lin Qingxia starred in the next film, she was already worth as much as four million, and she was the only actress who could compete with Fa Ge.

Of course, all this happened later. Xiao Ran didn't care how much he was worth as a starring actor in the circle, so he raised the price for Lin Qingxia, just to remind Tianluo and Debao that actresses are very important.

At the end of July, Wei Jiahui's "Intolerable" came out, this time it was not exactly the original team, except for Wen Zhaolun, who still played the chilling villain in the film, most of the other teams were different. As soon as this series came out, it immediately beat the wireless drama, and the ratings were as high as 32 points.

Based on his own impression, Xiao Ran gave Zhu Guangli a list of some famous drama producers that he could remember, and asked him to poach those people to ATV. Needless to say, ATV's lineup is stronger day by day, Xiao Ran is also happy to relax, and throws the burden of confrontation with wireless to Zhu Guangli.

At the same time, Xiao Ran was enjoying the finals of the Hong Kong sister election held by TVB. Li Jiaxin's performance and appearance completely captured the hearts of every judge, and she successfully won the Hong Kong sister championship.

In August, the number of theaters where "People and Ghosts Are Not Settled" was greatly reduced, and "New Dragon Gate Inn" once again hit the attention of every audience. The local box office is 32 million, the Southeast Asian box office is 370 million, and the European box office is only 40 million.

And this date is gradually approaching the wedding date of Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia, and this wedding is actually not luxurious. Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia both thought that it was not necessary, but considering the large number of guests who came, they still prepared to be a luxurious wedding.

At the same time, like a hurricane making landfall, karaoke quickly became popular in high-spending areas such as Japan and Taiwan. Xiao Ran counted the receipts every day, calculating how much it would take to acquire a few companies, and laughed so much that he couldn't close his mouth.

Of course, Xiao Ran is not obsessed with money, he is happy about the success of karaoke. Because patents have been applied for in major countries and regions around the world, as a result, anyone who wants to produce this thing has to pay for power, and now Xiao Ran has experienced the feeling of being dominated by others.

On top of that, he has been waiting for the success of karaoke, which is the only way to raise enough money for him to fulfill his acquisition aspirations. At present, although the phantom has repaid some loans, it is still in debt of more than two billion, and it is best to be able to acquire it in cash. Otherwise, why bother with any loans or financing.
