Since the release of "Source Code" in the United States on April 1, although the word-of-mouth has exploded, the attendance rate has been tepid. It wasn't until it went offline in June that it won more than $50 million at the box office.

In history, this movie is also a batch of films, and it was bought out by China Film. China Film will not take the initiative to pay attention to the batch of films, and it depends on the recommendation of overseas leaders to fill the 30 places.

After "Source Code" was released worldwide, it fell into the eyes of Han Sanye and decided to introduce and distribute it - it was already the end of August, a full five months away.

Even so, the film still achieved more than 60 million domestic box office.

Now, the copyright is in Chu Qing's hands, and the approval process is swishing fast, and it will be released in July. I dare not say that the results are big, and more than 100 million is the minimum.

This will be the middle of June, the hustle and bustle of the Beijing Film Festival has just subsided, and the entertainment industry has been stirred up again. Following the listing of Huayi in 09, Orange Sky took the lead in Hong Kong through the backdoor of Golden Harvest, and after 10 years of Huace's relaunch, the two of us were finally listed.

There are 28 enterprises in Huayi, and the venue was moved to Wuzhou Hotel. There are only 9 of these batches, and they are held on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, all of which are GEM.

There are no others, Chu Qing, Fan Xiaoye and Cheng Ying. The procedure is the same as before, the front is arranged as a high platform, and a bronze bell is hung on one side.

The host shouted, "Please ring the bell!" ”

The first three chairmen went up, formed a triangle, and knocked three times. In the second batch, Fan Xiaoye actually wore a cool and handsome suit, like a serious president, and also held a small hammer.

After three batches, it was exactly 9:30 a.m., and the stock market opened.

The voice fell, and the picture of the electronic display screen changed to the real-time trend of the stock market. Cheng Ying glanced at the name of the company that was very ashamed: the two of us, 77.58, 133.25%.

"Wow!"

The audience exclaimed, and there was a lot of discussion. People on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange were also surprised, entertainment stocks really can't be underestimated, and they are more fierce than Huayi.

"Hah!"

Those two scumbags only know that they are stupid, but Cheng Ying's eyes are shining, the company's issue price is 33.26, and the opening price has soared to this height, which shows the market heat.

Not only that, but the number is like riding a rocket, swaying upward. Almost in the blink of an eye, the two of us repeated the scene of the year: according to the relevant regulations on the first day of trading monitoring and risk control of GEM stocks, the intraday trading price of the two of us had increased by 20% or more from the opening price, and trading was temporarily suspended.

I have to say that the stock market does have an indescribable magic, which is more sour than drugs. The two of them snorted for a while, and it was easy to regain their rationality, and when they opened again in the afternoon, the stock price fell steadily, and finally closed at a price of 83.15, an increase of nearly 150%.

It is said that before 2014, new films, box office, actor contracts and other things will affect the secondary market. For example, last year's "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2", before the film was released, Huayi stock rose by 8.3%.

There is also the most typical "Thai Embarrassment", Guangguang Media followed this shareholder wind, and directly rose by 81.48%.

However, after 2014, the impact of a single movie's box office on the stock price has gradually decreased. Some established companies have expanded and transformed, and film and television production is no longer a core industry.

What is really affected are those companies that can deeply develop the commercial value of a single film, as well as the production companies that rely entirely on the box office of the film to survive.

The two of us fall into the latter two. With the opening of the film and television market and the influx of capital giants, the survival of production enterprises is becoming more and more difficult, which is also the biggest reason why the two want to expand.

In this listing, the company's proposed funds are one billion, but according to the number of shares issued and the issue price, the actual funds raised have increased N times. The market value of the two of us easily exceeded 10 billion, and the assets of the two of us were so high that they were scared to death, and the company's executives, artists, and middle-level and grass-roots employees became rich instantly.

To be honest, Chu Qing is a little blind.

For so many years, I have been walking step by step, and I never thought that pie would fall from the sky. As a result, Pia almost died at once.

Now that there are funds, the future route is suddenly clear.

For example, offices have been set up in the United States and Europe to facilitate mutual cooperation and communication. For example, we pay attention to co-productions, batch films, and investment in pure Hollywood films. For example, the development of online videos, and even self-made programs. And most importantly, the vision: to acquire an overseas special effects company and then train its own technical talent.

For people like Chu Qing, the saddest thing is that the things they are familiar with are disappearing little by little. He misses the past, lives in the present, the times are changing, and those who can't keep up can only be eliminated.

…………

"Fan Bingbing's lower abdomen is slightly convex, and he is suspected of being pregnant!"

"Our two companies confirmed that the boss lady is more than four months pregnant!"

"The second generation of the best star is about to be born, and netizens are happy to give away their names!"

After the listing, the two of them seemed to have disappeared in the entertainment industry, and only the gossip media occasionally broke out a few candid photos. As soon as the news of the pregnancy was confirmed, the whole people watched, and the various jokes on Weibo, naming the child became the top priority for netizens.

What Chu Ci, Chu Ge, and Chu He are all good, and what Chu Bawang, Chu Ritian, and Chu Chunshen are speechless. Hey, it's Chu, it's Chu, it's not Chu Haofan!!

No matter how noisy it was outside, the two of them handed over the company to Cheng Ying, and practiced in retreat.

Since they met, they have lived almost every minute and every second, and they have never been so leisurely. For nearly four months, I got up early, walked, partyed, watched balls, went shopping, ate, and slept...... The same convergence into a dull day every day.

Fan Xiaoye's stomach was already obvious, and his legs and feet were also swollen in large areas. This makes her feel very bad, and she loses her temper from time to time, and it's the outrageous kind. Sister Hitomi sighed, except for her younger brother, there is really no one who can bear it.

In fact, Chu Qing was also annoyed, his way of discharging was exercise. When his daughter-in-law slept, he soaked in the fitness room in the basement, which was difficult, after all, it was double fire.

And so it was on August 31, the 68th Venice Film Festival opened.

In this film festival, the Chinese exploded. In addition to Jia Zhangke becoming the chairman of the jury of the Horizon unit, there are also Du Qifeng's "Death Gold", Xu Anhua's "Sister Peach", Wei Desheng's "Saidek-Balai", Wang Xiaoshuai's "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" and mainland director Cai Shangjun's "The Sea of People", a total of five Chinese films were shortlisted for the Golden Lion Award. plus an American film "Detachment" starring Chu Qing, and Lou Ye's exhibited work "Flower".

With such a high ratio, people can't help but think about it, and it seems that Chinese movies are instantly powerful and swept across Europe.

But in fact, at this year's Berlin and Cannes Film Festivals, Chinese films collectively hit the streets. We can't go wild in a few months, only the fact that Venice is gradually declining in competitiveness and that Marco Müller's connections are crediting.

This year's opening ceremony can be faint, the red carpet is less than 50 minutes from beginning to end, and George Clooney, as the only big name, has become the only fig leaf for the opening ceremony.

Chu Qing couldn't resist his daughter-in-law after all, and arrived in Shuicheng on September 3. After more than ten hours of flight, Fan Xiaoye was also in good health.

This should be their most low-key film festival, except for the premieres of "Detachment" and "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart", all activities have been postponed. Wang Xiaoshuai, Kaiye and others worked very hard, spinning between countless drinking parties.

After the two films were screened, they were widely acclaimed.

"Life is like the broken car at the end of "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart", try to push it when it turns off. It's a good movie, it's about people who are unhappy, but you have to learn to let go of yourself, and you earn money for one more happy day. ”

"Everyone in the film has character flaws and things that are wrong, and this is the case in life. It's a long tragedy that makes people shrink and succumb little by little. ”

"I'm hooked on the philistine flavor of Hanzheng Street, even though I've never been to China, and I've seen the best Chinese movies in the last five years."

The domestic critics were even more shocked, and they shouted: "Fan Bingbing is unbelievable, I can't believe that this woman is played by her after watching it!" ”

"Detachment" has a better reputation, and among the 18 works that have been unveiled, the film ranks second in the score, second only to the popular "Faust".

"In the end, the film leaves only indifference and cruelty, you simply cannot detach from all this, past and present, spiritual and **, ideal and reality, education and future. Choosing indifference is simpler than confronting reality. The lethality of this movie is too great to give you the slightest chance to ease your emotions! ”

This is the Chu we are familiar with, who has deviated more and more from his original track in recent years, and is eager to throw himself into the arms of Hollywood. Fortunately, he contributed this "Detachment", a great performance that surpasses all previous works! ”

"A movie that really touches the heart! Kaye tries to diversify the perspectives and really portray each angle in a nuanced way that empathizes and thinks. Even though it is a little depressing, it does not feel dull, which is really worthy of praise. ”

There are a total of 22 entries, and when the last one is screened, the house book can't wait to list all the hot spots.

Golden Lion Awards, "Faust" and "Detachment" ranked first and second. Director Award, Polanski received the highest demand for "The Killing". In terms of actresses, Ye Dexian in "Sister Peach", Fan Xiaoye in "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart", and Keira Knightley in "Dangerous Methods" are highly competitive. In terms of actors, Chu Qing is unbeatable, and film critics seem to feel that there is no atmosphere, so they reluctantly add another Michael Fassbender.

Oh, this dude is Magneto from X-Men: First Class.

……

On September 10, the festival closed.

Fan Xiaoye wore a wide and not bloated dress, not cowardly, and walked the red carpet with confidence. She can now weigh 140 pounds, but the fat is evenly fluffy, like a goose down pillow in the sun.

There were many acquaintances at the scene, Lao Jia, Zhao Tao, Lou Ye, Liu Dehua, and Du Qifeng were all there, and the atmosphere was relaxed, like a gathering of old friends.

At 7 p.m., the closing ceremony began on time.

Chairman Marco Muller appeared to give a speech, this old man retired last year, but he could not find a successor, and he temporarily elected another term. First up was the award for Best Debut Film, which was awarded to the Italian film "LABAS".

Immediately after, the president of the jury, Aronofsky, said: "I am honored to have this experience, many films are unforgettable. With respect and love for the judges, I have watched so many excellent films......"

This guy is the director of "Black Swan", who once won the Golden Lion Award, and his works are scarce, but they are all excellent. He said on the stage that Fan Xiaoye couldn't hold it anymore.

"Tired?" Chu Qing said worriedly.

"Okay." She struggled to straighten up, but her expression was visibly unhappy.

"I won't let you come a long time ago, so I have to find my own guilt." He couldn't help but complain.

"Okay, what so much nonsense......"

She doesn't like to listen, so she subconsciously raises her voice. Zhao Tao in the back row took a look and hurriedly played a round: "Say a few words less, let people see jokes." ”

“……”

Chu Qing pursed his lips, and Lao Jia patted him on the shoulder to show relief - you can't have a hard anus with a pregnant woman, or a particularly irritable pregnant woman.

There is a small commotion here, and the first-class water over there is better. "Wuthering Heights" won the Technical Contribution Award, and "Alps" won the Best Screenplay Award, and due to the previous poor reputation, it also provoked a lot of boos.

Soon, one of the judges, the French director André, appeared and presented the award for best actress. The biggest advantage of the film festival is that there is no nomination, and there is no need to put the Narausch clip, just come.

Fan Xiaoye stood straight, but his stomach bulged forward again, and the whole person looked very funny. She grabbed her husband's hand tightly, and Chu Qing also rubbed the back of her hand, completely without the smell of gunpowder just now.

"The winner of the 68th Best Actress Award was ......"

I saw Andre open the envelope and quickly and clearly spit out three words: "Fan Bingbing!" ”

Rumble!

Fan Xiaoye's heart seemed to explode, shattered into powder from beginning to end, and then pieced it back. Her mind was blank and terrible, and she barely came back to her senses until her husband hugged her.

"I ......"

Her lips trembled, unable to utter a complete sentence. I didn't have much hope, my mind was all on my husband's side, but I turned out to be prosperous.

"Relax and relax, take a deep breath ......"

Chu Qing patted her on the back and helped her daughter-in-law up.

"Whoa!"

The audience applauded thunderously, the domestic media was so excited that they were dying, and the news and pictures were sent back and forth. Ye Dexian was a little lonely, but she still slapped her face hard.

Sister Tao is plain and soothing, touching and profound; Li Baoli is full of tension, and the spicy person is unforgettable. It was a battle between the strong, and the outcome was unpredictable.

Fan Xiaoye walked out of his seat with great difficulty, and stepped on the steps very slowly. She took the silver lion trophy, and the heavy weight made her hands gradually steady, and she spoke:

"There's a Chinese word called bian dan, which is the job I did in the film. Before filming, I lived with an eldest sister for half a month, going to the street every day to pick up goods, and there were only steamed buns for dinner, and the bed was very hard. I'm thankful for her, without her there would be no such role. Thank you Director Wang Xiaoshuai, you have mastered this film very well. Thank you to all the crew and the team behind the scenes, you are all the best. In fact, I have been wondering for a long time, is I a good actor? I used to think that I would never have a chance to prove it in my life, but now, I have done it......"

She turned her head slightly, looked in a certain direction, and tears couldn't stop falling: "I used to watch you from the audience, and today is my greatest wish." ”

“……”

Chu Qing was embarrassed, distressed and moved, his eyes were opposite, and he was worth a thousand words.

As Fan Xiaoye moved backstage, one of the judges, Italian actor Alba, appeared and presented the Best Actor Award. His mood has not yet recovered, and he is still sitting where to relax.

"There are a lot of great films coming out this year, and there are also some great performances that we will never forget, so let's take a look...... OH！ ”

Alba opened the envelope and suddenly snorted, even screaming: "This is definitely a good story in the history of cinema." Congratulations, Chu! ”

"it!"

"Cow break! Cow break! ”

"These two are going crazy!"

The Chinese filmmakers in the audience, as well as all the Chinese reporters in the news center, exploded in an instant!

An unprecedented Chinese actor was crowned emperor at the same time, and it was still a family!

After Jack Clermont, Sean Penn, and Juliette Binoche, the fourth actor to win the European Grand Slam is especially Chinese!

The First World War set two records, just like a big flag in Venice, in Europe, and in the world film industry.

"Whoa!"

The applause was even more enthusiastic than just now, and the so-called rival Fassbinder also had nothing to say. Marco Muller was surprised at first, and then he was just as excited, Venice needed that kind of attention.

“……”

Chu Qing was stunned for a moment before hugging Tony Kaye, Sami Gayer and others one by one, and got up on stage.

Fan Xiaoye was being interviewed by a group in the background, and suddenly heard a boiling inside. When someone told her, she swished to her feet and shook her fist chubbyly.

Chu Qing stood in the center of the stage, tempered calmly. In contrast, the daughter-in-law is much more excited about winning the award than herself. He paused, and said slowly:

"In 2000, I came to Venice for the first time, and it was Platform. I still remember the atmosphere at that time, it was so pure, direct, only film. After so many years, this atmosphere has not changed, it is still pure, direct, and only film. So I'm very happy that the jury was able to give me this award, and I feel like I'm back to a certain starting point. Thank you Kaye, thank you Eva, thank you lovely Sammy, thank you all! ”

……

At the end of the ceremony, the Best Director Award was given to Cai Shangjun of "The Sea of People", which caused a big upset. The Best Picture award went to "Faust", which was well expected.

Actors, actresses, and directors, Chinese filmmakers have won a big victory.

After the awards, it is the official dinner that is customary. Fan Xiaoye wanted to participate, but his body was really not good, Chu Qing explained to Marco Muller, and helped his daughter-in-law out of the hall.

"Whoa!"

As soon as the two of them went out, they stood under the wide eaves and were stunned. At some point, it started to rain outside, and it was scattered in the night of Lido.

The streets are cool, the traffic is coming, and the streetlights and elaborate exotic buildings are getting hazy in the rain. The two of them waited for a while, but they didn't see a taxi, Chu Qing said: "Make a phone call and send an umbrella." ”

"I can't listen to it, it's all in there!"

Fan Xiaoye looked at the sky, suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "Why don't we go, it's not far anyway." ”

"No, what should I do if I fall?"

"You're dead, won't you help me?" She's furry again.

"Well, you have the trophy."

Chu Qing had no choice but to take off his suit jacket, put his left hand on his head, and put his right hand around his daughter-in-law's waist. Fan Xiaoye held the trophy in his left hand, supported the other end with his right hand, and shouted vigorously:

"1, 2, 3, go!"

His eggs hurt, but he jumped a small step in cooperation, and the water splashed everywhere.

"What are you doing so hard?"

"Didn't you say 123?"

"I said 123, you jump, pig!"

“……”

"Oh, you go out, this broken trophy is a belly!"

“……”

"Oops, come back, I'm wet!"

The two of them staggered forward, noisy all the way, the rain was soft, and the night was not over. (To be continued.) )
