The Berlin Film Festival awards ceremony is over, but Sun Ziming's busy life in Berlin is not over, as the biggest winner of this Berlin Film Festival, he has to hold a thank you reception; He was interviewed by ZDF, Die Welt, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Der Spiegel and other media friends. The trip to Berlin was so successful, and the media friends were very helpful.

Just when Sun Ziming was busy wrapping up, the aftermath of the Golden Bear Award began, and Sun Ziming was the center, and a series of chain reactions also kicked off.

That night, "The Shawshank Redemption" won four awards at the Berlin Film Festival: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay, and became the headline entertainment news of various TV stations in the United States, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even Japan.

Americans watched on TV, and Sun Ziming, who was only 25 years old, came to the stage three times in a row, holding up a small golden bear and two small silver bears, and his mouth was full of admiration.

“Oh，my，god! China Ming has created another zào miracle! ”

“God，he‘ssogreat！”

The introduction of the host on TV made fans eagerly look forward to the release of "The Shawshank Redemption".

"God, is it really as great as The Godfather and Gone with the Wind?"

"Definitely, what character of the Germans, you don't know yet?"

"Good! When it is released on the 30th, we will watch it as a family!"

The Japanese regard Sun Tzu Ming as a god, because his movies have created too many miracles in Japan.

"神様、彼は偉い"

Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau are proud, and the award ceremony was broadcast live by Hong Kong Satellite TV. When Sun Ziming won the best screenplay, Hong Kong Satellite TV's Hong Kong and Macao ratings soared to 25%, Zhang Manyu rose to 35% again after winning the film, Fa Ge broke through 42% when he won the best actor, and Sun Ziming won the Golden Bear Award It has risen to 53%, setting a record for Chinese TV ratings in the past 30 years.

"Might! Director Sun is Wei! ”

"Cut, I want you to say that people are powerful enough in Hong Kong!"

"Hey, you say, how much box office can this "The Shawshank Redemption" get?"

This is the characteristic of Hong Kong people, everything can be linked to money.

"At least a few hundred million dollars, right? Brother Long has won more than 270 million US dollars at the box office, and it is impossible for Fa Ge to be too bad, not to mention winning so many awards. ”

Yes, Europeans have said that this is an immortal work, how bad can the box office be? Hong Kong citizens think so, but American cinema operators don't see it that way. "Shawshank" may be a great enough work, but it may not sell for many dollars! Now while all Americans know about it, it should be released immediately, and the green dollars will be earned, why is China still grinding in Berlin?

……

The early spring sun in Los Angeles is shining, and the spring flowers on the roadside have already spit out yellow buds, announcing the end of winter. Three black Cadillacs drove smoothly towards Los Angeles International Airport, and the first car sat Jiang Peng, the general manager of the American Light and Shadow Film Company.

"OK, OK, they'll be back in Los Angeles in an hour. Yes, we won't delay the premiere. ”

Jiang Peng put down the phone and just wanted to smoke a cigarette, when the car phone rang again, the assistant listened to two sentences, covered the microphone and whispered: "Sir, Mr. Scott, the general manager of Regal Cinema Line." ”

Scott of Regal Cinemas is a big name, with 1,545 theaters and 4,739 screens in 38 continents and the District of Columbia, making him the largest cinema chain in North America. Jiang Peng hurriedly threw down the lighter, took the phone with a smile, and said heartily: "Scott, can you add another two hundred and sixty-three screens to us?" OK, thank you so much, thank you so much. Dear friends, after the film is shown, our boss will have a party, do you have time to attend? OK, I'll send you an invitation as soon as the video is drawn. OK, OK, I'll tell you. ”

As soon as I answered Scott's call, calls from AMC, Cinemark and other theater lines also followed, and after answering the calls from various theater chains asking for more screens, the black Cadillac had arrived at Los Angeles International Airport. Jiang Peng's new assistant, Alexandra Russell, handed over the notebook, "Sir, the theaters of "The Shawshank Redemption" have reached 2,847, with a total of 3,514 big screens. ”

Jiang Peng glanced at the notebook, in addition to the additional screening halls and big screens in major theaters, there were also Oprah, David, NBC, ABC their invitations, and then looked at the time, then he was full of ambition to light a cigarette, and then get off when the plane arrived.

It's right to go to Berlin to participate in the exhibition, "The Shawshank Redemption" is not the kind of popcorn movie, nor is it the kind of commercial movie that makes money by plot and scenes, this is a film that needs fans to watch carefully and calm down to appreciate it. As long as movie fans don't go to the cinema with the ease of watching "Rush Hour" or "Alonehome", they will be attracted to the movie and will be moved by Andy.

Hey, foreign monks can chant scriptures, and there is also a market in the United States. The European media put "The Shawshank Redemption" on the altar, reversing the impression that Ming Ge gave fans as a comedy and action movie director. Hehe, Americans are really arrogant, "Lame Hao" won the Golden Lion Award, and they stubbornly think that Brother Ming can't make American movies with strict themes, so they are convinced, right?

'Dididi', the sound of the phone interrupted Jiang Peng's reverie, and Yalishizhuo answered the phone with a smile, "Ok, I will definitely tell you, thank you for coming." Ok, I'll have someone arrange it for you right away. ”

Jiang Peng won't ask if he knows which big star must want to come to the premiere. Hmph, I invited them to Brother Ming's party a few years ago, and they all said that they were very sorry for something, and they all hid like a plague. Now that Brother Ming has made a movie that impresses Europeans, he has taken the initiative to come to the door one by one, doesn't he just want to strive to act in his movies in the future? Hehe, Brother Ming is right, face is not given by others, but earned by yourself!

Ali Saizhuo looked at Jiang Peng's face, dialed the company's phone, and whispered: "Miss Lena, Mr. Tom Cruise wants to attend the premiere, please arrange it." Yes, he attended with his fiancée, Miss Nicole Kidman. ”

An hour and a half later, Sun Ziming and his entourage were on the steps outside the airport hall, after accepting a brief interview with reporters, got into Jiang Peng's car, and looked for cigarettes and lighters when they got into the car.

Jiang Peng lit a cigarette for him, handed over Alexandria's notebook, and said with a smile: "Brother Ming, we have won a big victory, this is some information about the release of the movie, talk shows, and TV interview invitations, you see which ones you are going to participate in." ”

After a few puffs of cigarettes, Sun Ziming went to look at the records, "What about your opinion?" ”

Jiang Peng couldn't hide his smile: "The box office is estimated to exceed 100 million, reaching between 130 million and 150 million." These programs and TV interviews, I recommend that you try to participate in all of them. Brother Ming, next year's Golden Globe Awards and Oscars, it is impossible not to give a single award to "The Shawshank Redemption". ”

"Well, that makes sense. Claudia, put the ESPN interview at the front, and you arrange the rest. ”

“OK”
