rising director

"No." Quan Zhixian shook his head proudly.

Wan Xiaohu took two quick steps, looked around from the corner of his eye, but saw no one.Then he hugged Quan Zhixian and put his cheek against his cheek.You can smell each other's breath: "Say, do you want to call me Oppa?"

"No." Quan Zhixian pouted, acting very rebellious.

"Then don't blame me for being rude, serve you with French kisses!"

Before he finished speaking, Wan Xiaohu stuck to Quan Zhixian's mouth, twirled his tongue, knocked her teeth open, and then rolled in, giving a deep "yunxi".For a full minute, Jun Zhixian felt as if he was about to suffocate, and Wan Xiaohu left.

"Huhu..." Both of them panted heavily.

When the breath subsided, Jun Zhixian looked at Wan Xiaohu affectionately, and said softly, "Ouba."

Wan Xiaohu blinked his eyes and said after a while: "Study hard and improve every day."

Jun Ji Hyun beat and kicked him, blaming him for spoiling the scenery and affecting the atmosphere.

……

Happy hours are always short.

A few days after the Lantern Festival, the two will not see each other.

Because after negotiating distribution rights with Huayi Brothers, the mainland market will be handed over to Huayi Brothers for operation and promotion, while Hong Kong and Taiwan regions will still be handed over to Universal Films.As the heroine of "My Sassy Girlfriend", Jeon Ji-hyun will also follow the publicity team to run promotions back and forth in the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, even Korea, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

As Wan Xiaohu's third film, needless to say, the mainland market, just like Feng Xiaogang's Lunar New Year film, he has more or less formed his own reputation and is sought after by the market.Last year, "The Butterfly Effect" was the runner-up at the box office, and "Waiting Alone" was the fifth at the box office. It was so coquettish that small filmmakers all over the world flocked to it.

As for overseas markets in Asia, "Butterfly Effect" performed fairly well. At the end of the year, Huayi Brothers made a calculation. The current total box office is estimated to reach a height of one million US dollars, which is 7000 million yuan, excluding 5000 yuan in the mainland. More than 2000 RMB, overseas also obtained more than [-] million RMB.

In recent years, when Hong Kong movies have continued to slump, it is one of the outstanding performances of Chinese-language movies.

However, because the film was criticized by jealous people for lack of human care, Wan Xiaohu did not earn much popularity.These days, it is not like later generations can rely on the overwhelming Internet hype, and it is difficult to gain popularity.Coupled with the fact that Li An's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" swept the Hollywood awards season and attracted too much attention, Wan Xiaohu was naturally eclipsed in comparison.

In such a situation, "My Sassy Girl" started a publicity campaign.

Wan Xiaohu also devoted himself to the editing work.

Time flies by.

February 2001, 2, half past Beijing time.The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominations for the 13rd Academy Awards."Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" lived up to the expectations of Chinese people and won the Best Picture, Best Director, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Best Theme Song , best soundtrack and best make-up ten nominations.

The Hollywood production "Gladiator", second only to [-] nominations, shined brightly, beating the foreign language film's nomination record for Oscar nominations, and "Life is Beautiful" had [-] nominations.

Nominated for one, the people of the country suddenly boiled, only feeling that the dawn of Chinese movies has come.There has never been a Chinese-language film that has been so beautiful and so close to the most important Oscar awards, Best Picture, Best Director and Best Foreign Language Film.

Li An said after the announcement of the nominations: "It is not easy for the Oscars to accept Chinese-language films. The significance of the ten nominations has surpassed the film itself."

At the previous Golden Globe Awards, Li An won the Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director, and won [-] nominations at the British Academy Awards, attracting global attention for Chinese-language films.

Today, with the Oscar nominations, the box office performance of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is talked about.It was released on a large scale after December last year. As of yesterday, it has received a total of 6000 million US dollars at the box office.

It surpassed the US$5800 million of "Life is Beautiful" and became the highest-grossing foreign language film in North America.Moreover, this kind of award-winning and nominated film still has a long release period in North America. No one knows how high it can reach, but everyone thinks that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will not have a problem breaking the box office of [-] million US dollars in North America.

Almost as soon as the nomination was announced, Wang Lei called.

"Xiaohu, have you read the Oscar report, ten nominations! 6000 million US dollars at the box office, I dare not say anything else, the best foreign language film is definitely won, and it is not difficult for the box office to break through [-] million. Haha, Li An is doing well, I I can feel it, Lao Mei is waving to us!"

"Brother Lei, instead of letting me choose us, why don't we take the initiative? Although the Sundance Film Festival is unfortunately out, there are still many film festivals in the United States recently, so you can go and participate." Wan Xiaohu suggested.

He originally had great expectations for the Sundance Film Festival, because it is a film festival specially set up for unknown directors and famous films, and many major American companies like to come to the Sundance Film Festival to find films.However, "Butterfly Effect" was registered as an Asian sci-fi film, but it was rejected and was not shortlisted.

Among Chinese films, only Zhang Yimou's "My Father and Mother" was shortlisted.It has to be said that Yankees simply look down on science fiction films other than the United States.

However, the American film industry is very developed. There are more than [-] film festivals, large or small, if not a hundred. The reputation is not as good as the Sundance Film Festival, but the business opportunities are not much worse.

"Don't worry, I've started preparations now, I hope I can make a good fortune by taking advantage of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!"

After hanging up the phone, Wan Xiaohu pondered for a while, and then put the matter out of his mind.He now needs to edit "My Sassy Girl" with peace of mind, and when the film is finished, he can start other plans.After more than a week of immersion, the editing of "My Sassy Girlfriend" was completed and began to be submitted for review.

There are definite documents for the review of movies, and the review will be completed within 15 days.Of course, if we don't dredge the relationship, let alone fifteen days, even fifteen years may not be able to complete it.Dandelion lacks connections, but Huayi Brothers does. On March 3, "My Sassy Girl" officially passed the trial.

The promotion has also come to "gaochao" time, Jun Ji-hyun and Huang Xiaoming went to major TV stations to participate in entertainment programs, and they were familiar with each other.

Wan Xiaohu will also participate in some programs to participate in the promotion.

"Mr. Wan, three programs have been finalized. They are "Celebrity Meeting" on Beijing TV, "Kefan Listening" on Modu TV, and "Telling the Front and Behind the Scenes" on Jianghuai Satellite TV." Li Yumin scored three points. The script comes knocking on the door.

Wan Xiaohu was watching the development of Mtime.com during this period of time on the Internet, and upon hearing this, he flipped through the three scripts.

Needless to say, "Celebrity Meeting" has been on for a while. Although the show is not popular, it is not bad. "Kefan Listening" is a high-end talk show hosted by Cao Kefan. It has just started broadcasting recently, and its quality is also very high.And "Talking About the Stage and Behind the Scenes" is a very low-end talk show, not taking the high-end route, but taking the route of storytelling.

Generally speaking, these three programs are all suitable for participation, without falling off the shelf.What Wan Xiaohu pays attention to is the personal stand and the authority of the director.Because the director is not a play, there is no need to entertain the public. Naturally, he will not participate in various entertainment programs, but follow the route of interviewing elites.

"Okay, you can arrange it and let me know when the time comes."

"Ok."

0133【Navy Army Tactics】Ask for the first order of the monthly ticket

At the end of February, Wan Xiaohu will leave to participate in several talk shows to promote "My Sassy Girlfriend".The first recording was JAC Satellite TV's "Talking About the Stage and Behind the Scenes", hosted by Jianghuai Satellite TV's Huadan Zhou Qun, a people-friendly interview program that mainly tells the stories behind the scenes of stars.

However, before leaving, he chatted for a while with Bona's Yu Dong.

Since the cooperation between Dandelion and Huayi Brothers, Huayi Brothers' huge network and strong capital have made it the best partner of Dandelion.However, Yu Dong's Bonaization is slightly weaker, so he was excluded from the cooperation.

Yu Dong was a character, so he was naturally unwilling to let Wan Xiaohu, a cash cow, go away like this.

"Brother, are you free today? I'll treat you to tea." Yu Dong chased directly to Wantong CBD Building and entered Wan Xiaohu's office.

Wan Xiaohu asked Wang Qianqian to pour water for Yu Dong, and said: "I'm afraid I don't have time today. I have already booked the plane ticket to Jianghuai, and I will leave at noon. Brother Dong, you don't have anything to do to go to the Three Treasures Palace. What do you have to say?" Say something here."

Yu Dong was not polite, and said directly: "That's it, I know that the mainland distribution rights of "My Sassy Girlfriend" have been handed over to Huayi Brothers, Hong Kong and Taiwan have been handed over to Universal Films, and the Korean distribution rights have been handed over to Huayi Brothers. Sdus company. At present, the new Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines have not yet decided, right.”

"Brother Dong understands very well. Japan should basically be done. The last "Butterfly Effect" has not yet obtained the distribution rights in Japan. It is a pity. This time we will cooperate with Sdus. They have some in Japan. connections."

"I don't have a good road in Japan either. However, for Xinmatai, I think if you can, you can leave it to me. Don't worry, I will definitely give Dandelion the most profit, even if I don't want this piece myself How about guaranteeing your profits, too?"

"Brother don't want profit?"

Yu Dong nodded: "To be honest, Bonahua is expanding its overseas distribution channels recently. I don't expect Guoying Group to be able to compete with Hollywood's channels. However, the world is so big, and there are always some places that movies can't take care of. , Southeast Asia, Oufeila, if possible, I want to do it. And I am in contact with Poly Group recently. It is possible to join forces with Poly Group. Let’s open the way now, and we can get more benefits when we cooperate, right? .”

Wan Xiaohu expressed his understanding that Bonahua later changed its name to Poly Bona because it cooperated with Poly Group and then attached itself to this giant state-owned enterprise.Become one of the mainland entertainment giants.

Now Yu Dong wants to use "My Sassy Girlfriend" to expand the channel of Bonaization. Fortunately, he has a certain right to speak in cooperation with Poly Group, and he wants to make a large profit to Dandelion.Naturally, Wan Xiaohu has no reason to refuse money from others.

"Brother Dong, in principle, I agree to hand over the distribution rights in Southeast Asia to you. I'll tell Su Ya right now. What should we talk about later, you guys continue talking?"

"Then I will trouble you brother. When I come back another day, I must have a good drink."
