Chapter 307: Old Fresh Meat
"The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" set a record of $5,200 in overseas rights sales, and the news immediately sparked a heated discussion among the major film crews participating in the Busan Film Festival.
The crew of "The Battle of Mingliang" was celebrating when they heard the news, and they were celebrating the sale of $8.5 million in overseas rights to the film, of which the largest seller was China Film Co., Ltd., which bought the Chinese rights to "The Battle of Mingliang" for $3 million.
Just now, someone was congratulating director Kim Hanmin, and said that "The Battle of Mingliang" should be the highest copyright sales at this film festival, but I didn't expect to hear such an astonishing figure as 52 million US dollars now.
At the same time, the crew of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" was also holding a celebration party, and there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate this time. Han Sanping, the largest buyer of "The Battle of Mingliang" and chairman of China Film Co., Ltd., rushed to congratulate him as soon as he heard the news.
"Sledgehammer, congratulations, if you don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster!"
Wang Xu raised his glass to Han Sanye, and after taking a sip, he said: "Third Master, you have to support me a lot, the first time I was a director, I still made a kung fu movie." I was not optimistic about my peers, and I was under a lot of pressure! Looking at the smile he showed when he spoke, Han Sanping didn't see that he was under pressure.
"Of course I will fully support you, who can't get along with money." Han Sanping smiled: "You can bring us surprises every time, I believe that those colleagues who are not optimistic about you now regret it." ”
Of course, the domestic counterparts he said refer to Huayi and Bona. When "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" had just been completed, Han Sanping was ahead of other film companies. won the domestic distribution rights of the film, and others think that Wang Xu is the first time to be a director, and the subject matter is not a comedy, too confident and very risky. Although Han Sanping also agrees that it is indeed risky for Wang Xu to give up his best comedy and make a kung fu movie, he is different from others in that he does not ignore Wang Xu's other specialty, that is, he is still a screenwriter.
The name of the King of Comedy is too dazzling. So much so that most people don't have the idea that in all of Wang Xu's movies, he is a screenwriter, and he is the first screenwriter. This is like Chen Long, everyone knows that he is an international superstar, and few people notice that many of Chen Long's excellent movies are directed by himself, which means that Chen Long is still an excellent director.
Han Sanping believes in Wang Xu's ability to choose scripts, that is, he has this belief, so he can first see the sample film of "Dragon and Snake" when he is still hesitating. This time, the Busan Film Festival "Dragon Snake" sold the rights for 50 million US dollars. It turns out that this young man is once again impressive.
Just when Han Sanye sighed, SBS's anchor Che Duohui walked in front of Wang Xu. On behalf of SBS TV, five celebrities, Wang Xu, Called Beast, Wu Jing, Baby, and Zhao Rongrong, were invited to do a TV interview together.
Wang Xu, called the beast, and Wu Jing all looked at each other and smiled. Now it's the Korean media who have taken the initiative to invite them to do an exclusive interview. In the eyes of Koreans, the movie "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" has put on a halo and attracted great attention from them. Yesterday's press conference was no longer seen.
With a halo, the five actors of the "Dragon and Snake" crew participated in the awards gala of the Busan Film Festival the next night. More than 100 celebrities in the fields of Korean songs, film and television, and variety shows attended the party.
In this kind of star-studded place, the five members of the "Dragon and Snake" crew finally found a little bit of the feeling of being in China, and Wang Xu found a feeling of a superstar.
You must know that it is different from the ordinary people of South Korea. Korean artists know China very well, this is because the Korean market is too small, and stars with a little ambition and strength want to develop in China. If you want to go to China to develop, you don't have to learn Chinese, and you don't have to understand China's second- and third-tier actors, but some big film and television companies, big TV stations, and first-line celebrities can't help but understand it.
It's impossible not to know Liu Dehua, it's impossible not to know Wang Xu, not to know Wu Jing, not to know the beast, right? If Wang Xu goes to Hollywood to develop now, he says that he doesn't know Cameron, he doesn't know Tom, and he hasn't heard of Schwarzenegger, so let's come back.
As soon as Wang Xu arrived in the hall of the party, he felt the enthusiasm of the Korean stars, and many people came to greet him and hand each other business cards. Among them, he also got together with a friend Xiao Wu, and with Xiao Wu's help to introduce him, he was much more relaxed, because there were few Korean stars on the scene who could really call the right name, which was very embarrassing and rude.
Like a beautiful woman sitting next to baby and Zhao Rongrong, Wang Xu didn't recognize her as Lin Yun'er, one of the members of Girls' Generation. He recognized the 9 members of Girls' Generation when they appeared together, but they couldn't be recognized when they appeared alone.
When Wang Xu saw a Korean artist he knew, he would also take the initiative to go over to say hello, and when he saw Song Hye Kyo, he walked over to say hello.
"Brother Sledgehammer, hello!" Song Hye Kyo speaks a little Chinese and hugs Wang Xu as she speaks.
Song Hye Kyo was actually a little embarrassed in her heart, she remembered the scene when she saw Wang Xu for the first time. It was three years ago that she was invited to be a guest in the Happy Male Voice Finals of Hunan Satellite TV, and the two smiled face-to-face on the TV station, and then passed by.
Song Hye Kyo thought that Wang Xu was a starlet or a TV station worker. At that time, Wang Xu was indeed a little star, and in the past three years of Song Hye Kyo's development in China, she has watched this little star grow into a superstar who uses honorifics in a short period of time.
Wang Xu returned to his seat after greeting her, and when he was about to sit down, he looked up at a row of unusually handsome young people behind him, and several of these young people were a little familiar.
One of the familiar young men stood up and said to him with some excitement: "Brother Sledgehammer, hello, I am Zhang Yixing, a member of exo, and I am your fan. ”
Hearing this young man speak Chinese, Wang Xu remembered, got up and stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Zhang Yixing, I know you, no wonder I feel familiar, I heard Weijia talk about you, it's really good to see fellow countrymen." ”
Zhang Yixing is a Chang* Sharen, and when he heard that the idol knew him, he was happy, and said excitedly: "I'm so happy to see you here, Brother Sledgehammer." ”
At this time, the other two Chinese members of the EXO member, Wu Yifan and Lu Han, couldn't help it and stood up to talk to Wang Xu, a superstar.
EXO is the most popular male idol group at the moment, Zhang Yixing, Wu Yifan and Lu Han are a hot mess among the boys and girls in China and South Korea, how popular are they, and in 2015, when Wu Jing was promoting the movie "Wolf Warrior", Hua Shao talked to him about today's popular aesthetic trends, and he had to mention "Little Fresh Meat", mentioning the representative of small fresh meat and beautiful men, naturally he couldn't avoid the hottest combination of EXO, although it was almost to the level that everyone knew, but Wu Jing said that it was the first time he heard of it, asked Hua Shao rhetorically: "This is a man and a woman?" When the boy group replied in the affirmative, Wu Jing looked at it carefully in surprise, and then nodded and praised: "It's good!" Don't forget to make up for it: "The first time I saw it, I was stunned." ”
So 'Wu Jing doesn't know EXO' became the hot news the next day, which was bombarded by many netizens, and even angered EXO's fans, and the fans of both sides contributed another entertainment industry explosion incident, of course, now that Wu Jing knows EXO, such incidents will not happen.
No, even baby, Zhao Rongrong happily joined the selfie game between each other. Wang Xu posted a photo of Zhang and Zhang Yixing, Wu Yifan, and Lu Han, and teased himself in Weibo*Bo, saying: "I have become an old fresh meat, I am only 26 years old, where can I reason~~~~~~~ I want to cry, don't persuade me, I want to be quiet, please don't ask me who Jingjing is." ”
All three of them reposted Wang Xu's Weibo, and Wu Yifan replied with three sweaty expressions. Lu Han wrote that he was so happy to touch the idol up close. Zhang Yixing replied with a 45-degree angle looking at the idol, you are still very handsome, hehehe......
