Chapter Ninety-One: Let It Be
5 p.m.
A university in Shanghai, in a women's dormitory.
"Huihui, come on, come on, I'm about to walk the red carpet." Tian Xiaoling glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the laptop and said loudly in the direction of the bathroom.
As one of Fang Bo's few fans, oh no, it should be the second, Tian Xiaoling and Yao Hui have been looking forward to this award ceremony for a long time.
Especially Yan Kongtian Xiaoling, just waiting to see Fang Bo's appearance when he walked the red carpet.
It just so happened that today was Saturday, there was no need to go to class, and the other two roommates went out shopping, but they stayed in the dormitory and watched the live broadcast of the Golden Bull Awards.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Yao Hui's voice came from the bathroom, and then the door was opened after a while, "Is it started?" ”
Tian Xiaoling beckoned to her, "Come on, it's just begun, and the first crew hasn't finished the red carpet yet." ”
"That's good, I'm worried it'll be late." Yao Hui moved her stool to her best friend's side, and the two girls watched the live broadcast of the red carpet ceremony together.
Also in Shanghai, Wu Xiaofei also opened the live webcast room of the Golden Bull Award at this time.
Watching the first crew step on the red carpet, they were greeted by the cheers of the fans on the scene, as well as the flashing lights that lit up.
The appearance of such a scenery made Wu Xiaofei so envious that it was itchy at the root of his teeth.
If he could, he would also like to walk the red carpet at the Golden Bull Awards ceremony!
At the beginning, he put down his arrogance in the face of reporters and vowed to sign up for this year's Golden Bull Awards, but after the release of "Dream Chaser", it became like that, and of course the registration became empty talk.
Seeing others walking on the red carpet of his dreams, Wu Xiaofei felt an indescribable jealousy in his heart, especially when he thought that Fang Bo was going to walk the red carpet tonight, he was even more uncomfortable.
"Fang Bo!"
Thinking of this, Wu Xiaofei clenched his fists, eager to rush to the scene and replace him.
won an award at the Yenching Film Festival, the movie was released at the box office, and he signed up for the Golden Bull Award, which he had already calculated.
It's a pity that although he thought it beautifully, in the end, the person who completed all this became Fang Bo.
Of course, Wu Xiaofei was unwilling to accept defeat, perhaps to deceive himself, he had already attributed the reason for his failure to Fang Bo.
In his mind, if there was no "Nightclub", "Dream Chaser" would not have failed so badly, and he would not have fallen into this step.
Although there is no direct competition between the two films except for the Yenching Film Festival, he can't help but find an excuse for failure, so he holds a grudge against Fang Bo.
……
"Ahh
The main venue of the Yenching Film Festival is at the Yenching Grand Theater, and the award ceremony of the Golden Bull Award is held at the Yenching Exhibition Center Theater.
It was originally an open-air venue, but it was later remodeled into an indoor theater, so the capacity is very large, with more than 40 rows of seats, and can seat nearly 3,000 people, which is more than half the largest hall of the Yenching Grand Theater.
At this time, in the waiting area not far from the theater, Fang Bo, who was hated by Wu Xiaofei in his heart, suddenly sneezed.
Zhou Wei asked with concern: "Director Fang, do you have a cold?" ”
Xu Hongsheng said: "Why don't you go back to the hotel and ask the front desk to get some cold medicine?" ”
"No, I don't." Fang Bo rubbed his nose, he didn't feel like he had a cold, and said, "Maybe I rushed to Yanjing overnight yesterday and didn't rest well at night, so I should be fine if I make up for sleep tonight." ”
"Oh." Zhou Wei nodded.
In order to avoid a cold scene, the organizers carefully arranged the appearance order of the red carpet ceremony, and put unpopular movies and popular movies together, so as to avoid the embarrassing scene of several crews stepping on the red carpet in a row, but the audience reacted mediocre.
And because the crew of "Night Club" has no big-name stars, the box office of more than 100 million can only be regarded as ordinary among the commercial films nominated for the Golden Bull Award, so it is classified as an unpopular movie.
Fang Bo and several other crews who are also unpopular movies are all ranked behind a movie called "Special Ops".
This sci-fi film won a high box office of 2.7 billion during this year's Spring Festival, a proper hit movie!
This is not only domestic, but also the foreign box office, which has exceeded 5.5 billion.
With such results, they are only the second place in the Spring Festival stalls, and the total box office of the schedule champion is as high as 6.4 billion.
That's it, there are still many viewers complaining, saying that this year's film market competition is not fierce enough.
You must know that 3 years ago, Zhou Hongze's "Alien Catastrophe" set a global box office record of 9.3 billion during the Spring Festival.
It's been 3 years, and the global film market has expanded a lot, but this year's Spring Festival box office champion hasn't even touched the edge of 7 billion, which is really an obvious gap.
Of course, the record-breaking time and place of "Alien Catastrophe" are the right time, the right place and people, many favorable factors come together, and Zhou Hongze did shoot well, so he achieved good results, and it is indeed not easy for latecomers to catch up.
However, with the development of the global film industry, this record will definitely be broken, just look at the length of time.
But according to Fang Bo's memory, in his previous life, the first domestic box office movie in 2014 was less than 2 billion, and it was still a foreign film, and the second-ranked Chinese film did not even have a box office of 1.2 billion.
As for the global box office record at that time, it was more than 2 billion US dollars, which is a lot more than the 9.3 billion Chinese coins of "Alien Havoc".
From this point of view, at the same time, although the film industry in this world as a whole is weaker than in the previous life, but in terms of Chinese films, it has improved a lot.
Sure enough, it's a parallel world.
Although they are very similar in many ways, there are always differences that remind Fang Bo that you have crossed over.
"Director Fang, it's time for us to walk the red carpet."
Xu Hongsheng's words woke Fang Bo up from his contemplation.
"Huh?" He raised his head, and the memories of the two worlds were intertwined, so that he couldn't tell the difference for a moment.
It wasn't until he saw that the person standing in front of him was Xu Hongsheng that he completely recovered from his past memories.
"Oh, good."
Fang Bo showed a faint smile and got up to tidy up his clothes.
He's always been a casual character, no matter what, since he's here, let it be.
The three of them got into a luxury car arranged by the organizer, and the driver drove towards the theater at a steady speed.
In fact, the waiting area is only a little bit away from the red carpet, and it won't take long to walk over, and there is no need to appear in a luxury car, just the organizers want to make the scene look more magnificent.
The car soon stopped on the edge of the red carpet, and the staff waiting for it skillfully stepped forward and pulled the car door, Xu Hongsheng and Zhou Wei came down from the back row, and Fang Bo also stepped out of the passenger seat.
