Let you host the artist, how can you become a superstar

Chapter 405 0404: Almost Achievement

Django's modified Earth movie script, combined with Zhu Ping who is good at emotional scenes and Zhou Ran who is good at special effects scenes, is very popular in China, but it is not so well recognized overseas.

It's normal to think about it. Hua Guo's directors, screenwriters, and actors can enjoy themselves overseas, and none of them succeeded after years of hard work.

In a word, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.

After seeing the box office and word-of-mouth on the first day, Django also heaved a sigh of relief. He was not worried about the box office or word-of-mouth hit the street, but was a little excited and looking forward to it.

After all, in this period in Europe and America, there are Christmas-themed blockbusters such as "Save Santa 2", "Happy Christmas Eve", "Scary Christmas" and other Hollywood superstars.

The high overseas publicity expenses were not in vain, and Long Wei was not in vain. Coupled with the reputation accumulated with "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift", it became the first film by Hua Guo screenwriter and Hua Guo after Long Wei's film. The director's hand won a movie with a box office of over 2000 million US dollars in a single day in North America.

In fact, in recent years, from the perspective of film types, the overseas distribution of domestic films is no longer limited to martial arts films, comedies, war films, etc., not only in terms of quantity, but also in terms of box office and word-of-mouth.

From these distribution strategies, it can be seen that the influence of domestic films overseas is gradually expanding, and domestic films are paying more and more attention to the diffusion of films in the core audience circles around the world, and the targeted matching and promotion of story content, characters, and elements It is the entry point to go deep into the overseas market, and it has become the focus of overseas distribution of domestic films around the direction of "geographical advantages, harmonious people".

Under normal circumstances, when domestic films are released overseas, they will be released by overseas distribution companies such as Sony and Huashi.

Films such as Jiang Ge's "Swordsman: Invincible in the East", "Detective Chinatown 1", and "Painted Skin" were released overseas in cooperation with Sony Pictures.

North American Huashi, seeing that the money for this "Fast and Furious Prequel 1" was earned by Sony Pictures, how jealous!
"If I knew it wasn't so tough, I would buy it out." Rhodes kept sighing, already regretting it.

Their China Lion Films is a distribution company rather than a production company. They officially translate China Lion and mainly export Chinese films to North America and Australia.

Their company was not selected simply because the geographical scope of their business is too small, and Sony Pictures has a large volume, covering most countries in the world.

"Have you watched "Fast and Furious Prequel 1?" Rhodes turned to the secretary and asked, "How is it?"

The secretary replied: "I haven't watched it yet, but according to my friend's feedback, it is a movie worth the ticket price."

Rhodes asked again: "This is a prequel, so will it be affected if you don't watch "Initial D" and "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift"?"

The secretary shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about that, but judging from the comments from viewers on Rotten Tomatoes, it seems that there is no such problem."

In the envy of North American Chinese lions, Sony Pictures stepped up its promotional efforts.

Christmas is Thursday, and although the box office fell to $1200 million on Friday after the festival, it slashed $2800 million and $3200 million in two days on the weekend. In four days of release, the North American box office has reached $9300 million.

The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is 76%, and the popcorn is 79%. The former is the rating of film critics, and the latter is the rating of ordinary audiences. The two scores are very close, which can reflect one thing. Movie reviews are good.

Back in China, the four-day box office was 3.3 million, 2.6 million, 2.9 million, and 2.8 million, for a total of 11.6 billion, surpassing the box office of "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" in the same period.

[Fengqing Yidan]: Very pure speed and passion, no messy extra plots, it really relies on drag racing as the main line, and the moment when both of them pass the train at the end is so handsome!

[Deep sea buried with drowned fish]: The plot is very old-fashioned, but the plot is relatively full, passionate and passionate, who doesn't love beautiful women and handsome men in Xiangche?

【Memories because of people】: It really is speed and passion. Any road is a track. The sudden situation makes people really caught off guard, makes people grit their teeth, and makes their blood boil!

[Jiarong is not plush]: In fact, it doesn't matter who the screenwriter or director is for this kind of movie, as long as the car in it is cool enough, the beauties are hot enough, and the stunt scenes of the car are exciting enough, that's enough.

[Kongshan Xinyu]: Second-rate story, first-rate passion, pursuit of pure limit and freedom, drag racing shootout, visual effects editing, thrilling adrenaline rush, some styles are consistent with Hollywood commercial films.

[Again of endless fun]: Very good, there are both the Baiye universe with plot and the speed universe with visual effects, you can watch whichever one you like.

……

Jiang Ge's changes to the script are only to reduce the irrationality, not to turn the rot into a miracle.

As for popcorn movies, the standard of high-quality goods can be different.

"The total overseas box office is expected to hit 4 million US dollars, and it is not a big problem for the domestic total box office to exceed 20 billion yuan." Jiang Ge used the box office of the past few days to make a calculation.

"Whether it's box office or word-of-mouth, it's a step up from "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift"." Mo Lan was happy in her heart, and the pressure on her body was relieved. The months in Country M were not in vain.

"Next year I plan to speed up, "Fast and Furious Prequel 3" and "Fast and Furious Prequel 4" will be filmed together." Django said.

"Can you write the script?" Mo Lan asked.

"Okay, the stories in this series don't need to spend too much thought." Django laughed.

The Fast and Furious series is sorted by plot as 12456378+ special operations, and the current situation has become a prequel of 12456 to 3.

2 Because the remuneration with Vin Diesel did not agree, the script did not include the role of Boss Tang, and the story was so-so, Django chose to skip it directly.

And he learned the lessons of the original version. During the talk, the main actors such as Paul, Charedick, and Guosen Standa all signed multiple contracts.

In short, in order to quickly open up overseas markets, it can be described as painstaking.

Mo Lan is now accustomed to Django's efficiency, so she turned to another matter and said, "Brother Long's friends in the entertainment industry in country M all intend to cooperate with you."

Django's eyes lit up, it was a good thing, and he asked immediately, "Who are they?"

Mo Lan understood why he was excited, and hurriedly replied: "Rocky, Hancock and Matt."

The light in Django's eyes became brighter. He knew these people. He had read the profiles of some Hollywood actors when he was casting for the Fast & Furious series. They were among them. He immediately said, "You can get in touch with them."

Mo Lan was not surprised, as if she had read his mind, she just asked, "Three?"

Jiang Ge nodded, and then said nonsense: "I have thought about several stories before planning overseas markets, and their image and acting skills just fit."

Mo Lan believed it, and said, "Okay, I'll talk to them sometime."

After a pause, he brought up a new matter and said, "Do you want to attend the Golden Eagle Awards Ceremony tomorrow?"

Django pouted towards the busy studio and said, "I can't get away."

Can't go, but there are arrangements, said: "Remember to let Pei Jie, Gu Yao and the others promote the new movie."

Mo Lan smiled and said, "They will do the same thing without reminding them, and I have learned everything from you."

Django laughed too.

How can such a good opportunity be missed!

This year's TV series only featured "Youth Bao Qingtian", and the Golden Eagle Award was shortlisted for three awards. Liu Ya was shortlisted for the Best Supporting Actress of the Year Award for Pang Feiyan, and Jiang Ge was shortlisted for the Best Screenplay Award and the Best Director Award of the Year , being shortlisted is shortlisted, but compared to other shortlisted, there is no competitiveness, and the result is to accompany the run.

There are few movies, but they are all blockbusters. The box office champion of the Spring Festival "Swordsman: Undefeated in the East" and the box office champion of the National Day "A Chinese Ghost Story" are almost shortlisted for the awards that can be shortlisted, and they are very competitive. The probability is that it will sweep the Golden Rooster Award again.

On the night of December 12th, not only the New Year's Eve concerts of Elephant TV, Yanjing TV, and Dragon TV, but also the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony.

Under the night of Ludao Ludao, Bailuzhou is brightly lit and star-studded.

The Golden Rooster Awards Gala was moved out of the room for the first time and was held in the Bailuzhou Sunken Plaza.

The nighttime temperature of Ludao today is 15°C, which provides a very good condition.

Veteran artists Zhou Mulong, Feng Hongyuan, Li Yujian, etc., actors Long Wei, Zhao Tianwen, Zhang Yuhan, etc., more than a hundred stars, singers Xu Chenyi, Qin Shiyue, Zhang Liming, etc. took the stage to sing. The wonderful singing and dancing show complemented the movie clips on the stage screen. Present an ultimate audio-visual feast.

"Nirvana in Fire" has been a night show for several days in a row. Tonight, Jiang Ge specially gave the crew an hour and a half to rest to watch the Golden Rooster Awards Gala, because many staff members participated in the filming of the two films .

During the period, cheers and applause sounded from time to time.

An hour passed.

Jiang Ge won the Best Screenplay Award with two nominations for "Swordsman: Invincible in the East" and "A Chinese Ghost Story", while the Best Music Award, Best Editing Award and Best Original Film Song Award were also awarded. The two films are divided.

Then there are a few awards left, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress.

"It's a bit of a bully, these awards "Swordsman: Undefeated in the East" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" are nominated at the same time, which means that Huafeng has a 40% chance."

"There is no way, these two films are the ceiling of martial arts films and ghost films, and if they are not shortlisted, they will not be able to convince the public."

"They are all shortlisted based on their strength. What's the problem? Just take a good look."

"It's hard to choose. Best film "Swordsman: Invincible in the East" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" choose one, best director Jiang Ge and Zhou Mulong choose one, best actor Pei Jie and Zhang Fucheng choose one, Gu Yao and Qin Shiyue choose one of the best actresses!"

"What should I do, the palms and backs of my hands are full of meat."

"The first three are 2, 2, 2, and the last one is a double yolk egg. The leader is as good as Xiaoqian."

……

The screen was full of bullet screens, and the audience in the live broadcast room of the Central No. [-] network was discussing in full swing.

Don't say it.

It's not a good choice.

"It's too difficult..." Zhou Lingwei was so entangled, she sweated for the judges, and asked Jiang Ge, "If it were you, how would you choose?"

"There are three other finalists, and anyone is possible until the last moment." Jiang Ge's self-confidence is not conceited, and he said: "But as far as our two films are concerned, the story of "A Chinese Ghost Story" The degree of completeness is relatively high, and I prefer it."

Zhou Lingwei thought for a moment, agreed with this point of view, and said, "Then, what about the best actor and actress award?"

Jiang Ge said objectively: "The focus of "Swordsman: Eastern Invincible" is on Eastern Invincible, and the character of Linghu Chong will be less expressive."

Zhou Lingwei blinked and said, "It's Zhang Fucheng and Gu Yao."

Jiang Ge shook his head and said, "I don't think Pei Jie and Zhang Fucheng will win the prize."

After a pause, he continued: "The best actress award is most likely to be between Gu Yao and Shiyue. Gu Yao's Dongfang Bubai is a combination of beauty and domineering, and Shiyue's Nie Xiaoqian is a combination of gentleness and beauty. , the performances in the film are perfect, if I were a member of the jury, I would definitely recommend Double Yolk Eggs."

As a matter of fact, there was only a slight deviation from what the barrage predicted.

Best Picture - A Chinese Ghost Story.

Best Director Award - Zhou Mulong.

Best Actress Award - Gu Yao, Qin Shiyue.

Deviation is the best actor award, which was won by Shi Jin of the spy film "Above the Spy".

Seeing this result, Zhou Lingwei couldn't help but give Jiang Ge a thumbs up, saying: "The Golden Rooster Award should invite you to be a judge, I guessed everything!"

Django blinked at her, smiled and said, "Professional enough."

Suddenly, "Django yyds" sounded on the set.

This year's Golden Rooster Awards, there is no doubt that Jiang Ge and Huafeng Artists are the biggest winners.

"Eight awards, almost reaching the achievement of winning ten awards for film and television songs."

"Unfortunately, it would be great if Zhang Fucheng and Pei Jie won the Best Actor Award and Feng Hongyuan won the Best Supporting Actor Award."

"That's awesome enough."

"That's right, none of the finalists made up the numbers, they were all capable."

"Fight again next year!"

"If you have regrets, you will have expectations."

……

Everyone has no objection to this result, and every award is well deserved.

After Xu Chenyi, Qin Shiyue also met Jiang Ge's requirements for a superstar.

Huafeng Media is growing day by day, and is marching towards the giant of Huaguo Entertainment Company.

------

In the past two days, the upcoming "Swordsman: The Sunflower Collection" has surpassed the "Fast and Furious Prequel 1" which is currently being released.

The New Year's Day file, which was originally a cold time, became hot under Django's choice. Last year's "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift" broke the historical box office record of a movie released in this time frame.

Since the cost of "Detective Chinatown 2" is higher than that of "Swordsman: Sunflower Treasure", it is logically arranged in the Spring Festival file, and the New Year's Day file happens to be blessed with the popularity of the Golden Rooster Award, so it will not be too bad.

Zhao Bohang just didn't watch "Swordsman: Invincible in the East", but because this movie won many awards at the Golden Rooster Awards, he bought the ticket for "Swordsman: Sunflower Collection".

"I'd like to see how it takes on the important task of 'recasting the glory of martial arts films'!"
