On the eighth day of the first lunar month, at four o’clock in the afternoon.
The official of the National Youth Directors Competition finally responded to the complaints that continued to ferment on the Internet.
After saying a lot, it can be summed up in one sentence.
“Your Name” did not violate any rules or deviate from the topic, so Cao An’s qualification for the competition would not be disqualified.
As soon as this announcement was released, Guo Xiaoai was furious.
He never expected that the official attitude of the competition would be so tough. Not only did they not punish Cao An, but they also openly stood up and said that there was no problem with “Your Name”.
In fact, he had a minimum expectation in his heart, that is, the official of the competition would say something ambiguous, such as we will continue to investigate, we will check the materials submitted by the audience, etc.
As long as these words were said, he could continue to launch an offensive, but he didn’t get any of what he wanted.
So he immediately mobilized the water army that had been prepared long ago and began to vent his dissatisfaction on the Internet.
“Sheltering, this is definitely sheltering.”
“I am not satisfied with this decision, I will continue to report it.”
“So disappointed, this competition has lost its value.”
“It seems that the domestic film and television industry will have to struggle in the dark for a few more years.”
“This competition is no longer meaningful, and the subsequent national director competition is probably not worth watching.”
…
But these negative comments and complaints disappeared instantly after 7:30 in the evening.
Not to say that there is no one, but as long as you don’t look for it deliberately, ordinary people can’t see it.
The reason is that the 7 o’clock news program broadcast a news about local tourism.
In the news, cultural tourism, the combination of film and tourism were highly praised, and the work of the mayor of Yunxing Town during the Spring Festival was praised.
There was also a separate interview with the mayor.
He welcomes everyone to Yunxing Town for tourism, and he will lead the whole town to provide tourists with a good tourism environment.
Although the movie “Your Name” was not mentioned in the entire news, many of the pictures were pictures from the movie.
No one can fail to read the meaning of it.
So after the news was broadcast, the accusations and slanders against “Your Name” were deleted by major platforms, and related accounts were banned.
The smoky entertainment sector finally returned to its original state.
It was like the air after the rain, refreshing.
When Guo Xiaoai got the news, he collapsed on the chair with lifeless eyes.
“So that’s it, so that’s it.” He muttered to himself.
He instantly figured out Cao An’s response method, but what could he do after knowing it? The winner and loser had been decided, and the result was determined.
He was defeated.
And then came the huge fear.
Because he would be in huge debt because the box office did not meet the standard and could not win the championship of this competition.
The investment in “Fortress of Magic City” was as high as 360 million, so he could not bear all the investment amount alone like Cao An.
He could only attract investment from other places, and he signed a gambling agreement to attract investment.
Now the box office has not exceeded 300 million, and it is impossible to achieve the goal set in the agreement. He will face huge compensation for breach of contract.
At this moment, he felt an enormous pressure and could not see any hope for tomorrow.
“Cao An!”
He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and growled viciously.
In his cognition, Cao An was the culprit of all this.
If it weren’t for his “Your Name”, the reputation of “Fortress of the Demon City” would not be as bad as it is now under the support of other movies.
His movie will be the champion of this Spring Festival, and it is very likely to achieve the goal in the gambling agreement.
Not only that, he can also win the championship of the Youth Director Competition and advance to the National Director Competition. His future will be a smooth road.
But all this is gone.
…
After the news was broadcast, the score of “Your Name” began to increase.
It continued to increase from 7.1 points to 8.6 points.
Not only did the score increase, but the box office began to increase again after several days of slump.
When it came to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the box office of “Your Name” exceeded 1.6 billion.
This gave many people an expectation, that is, the box office exceeded 2 billion.
But now the school is about to start, and the company has already started work.
Young people are busy, and the main audience of “Your Name” is young people.
Even if it is still half a month before it is released, there is little hope that the box office will continue to grow rapidly.
And Cao An also returned to the imperial capital after the Lantern Festival.
As soon as Cao An returned to the imperial capital, he received many invitations and congratulations.
He also responded to them one by one. Looking at the many messages, he sighed that he was also a little famous in the imperial capital.Angry.
Now “Your Name” only has a box office of 10 million a day, and Cao An also feels that he has no chance to break through 2 billion.
But a piece of news brought him hope.
Fanxing Films received a request from the distributor of Xiaorizi Dongbao, who wanted to act as the agent for the Japanese distribution of “Your Name” and introduce it to Japan.
Cao An immediately started a negotiation with Dongbao’s staff. The whole process went smoothly. The other party wanted to import it, and Cao An wanted to export it.
So the two parties quickly signed a film distribution contract.
Dongbao will be responsible for all the distribution work and rights of “Your Name” in Japan.
Not only that, I don’t know where Dongbao’s staff got to know about another drama in Cao An’s hands. After signing the contract for “Your Name”, they also want to continue to distribute Cao An’s “Ultraman Tiga”.
It’s just that they didn’t offer a share, but a buyout.
Dongbao is willing to spend 200 million yen to buy the Japanese broadcast rights of “Ultraman Tiga”.
Converted back, it’s about more than 9.6 million.
After thinking about it for a while, Cao An agreed to the authorization. Anyway, he didn’t have to worry about it himself. In addition, this version of Tiga only had 24 episodes, so the price would not be too high.
The price was very reasonable.
The next day, Fanxing Film and Television announced the two pieces of news, which immediately caused a burst of exclamations from netizens.
“Wow, Director Cao is awesome. He has started to make money from foreigners.”
“Great, I thought I would miss Director Cao’s movie because I couldn’t go back to China. Now I can go to the cinema to support it directly.”
“This is the strength of a champion, unlike some people.”
…
After the announcement of this news, Cao An was surprised. The box office of “Your Name” increased slightly.
Now it has reached 1.8 billion.
On the 14th, the audience gave Cao An another surprise.
Since there were no good love movies released on Valentine’s Day, “Your Name” dominated the box office on that day, earning 110.7 million box office.
The box office exceeded 1.9 billion, only 100 million away from 2 billion.
Cao An, who had originally given up hope, became excited again.
Although he was almost certain to win the national championship, the results would be announced after the movie was released.
So Cao An took advantage of this period to start the preliminary preparations for “The Beginning” and the recruitment of actors.
When Cao An announced the news of this commercial film and television drama produced entirely by Fanxing Film and Television, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Cao An’s previous two works were both entries for the competition, so the competition was responsible for the distribution, while “The Beginning” was a completely independent work of Cao An.
Now Cao An is a popular young director in the country, so before his TV series started filming, or even before he started recruiting actors, major film companies came to him.
