After the vase cannon fodder is reborn

In mid-June, after a month of release, the movie "Embroidery" was successfully drawn after it received a box office of 680 million.Not only did it recover the filming cost, but it also earned more than 200 million yuan.Simply amazing.

With a big wave of his hand, Wen Zhuoyu simply took out the more than 200 million yuan and wrapped a few big red envelopes, which were distributed to director Cen Wangnian and other main creative personnel of the crew.

Because in the early stages of preparation, no investors were willing to invest in this film, and Wen Zhuoyu was introduced by Chen Xusheng's love for Cen Wangnian.Probably because Wen Zhuoyu invested too much and would not be able to return the cost. In order to finish the film with the least amount of money, all the actors, including the director himself, as well as the lighting, camera, and props crews paid relatively low expenses. The pay has been followed until the end.Cen Wangnian is solely responsible for the post-production editing and soundtrack, and must ensure that every penny Wen Zhuoyu invests is spent wisely.

Wen Zhuoyu knew that most of the reason why everyone was able to complete such a good job with such a small amount of money was because of the face of director Cen Wangnian.Now "Embroidered Students" can achieve this result, and it is also inseparable from the efforts of everyone on the crew.After all, movies with this theme and this lineup were not aimed at the box office.

In fact, the movie "Embroidered Life" is not Wen Zhuoyu's highest return on investment, but this movie is the happiest he has made.He admires director Cen Wangnian and his filming team very much, and is willing to share the joy of success with everyone.

And Wen Zhuoyu's way of sharing joy has always been so boring, simple and pure-that is, giving out red envelopes and holding a celebration banquet.

No one expected that Wen Zhuoyu would be so generous, and they were so excited that they were too embarrassed to ask for this red envelope.Wen Zhuoyu pushed and pulled several times at the celebration banquet, and everyone accepted it hesitantly.

After accepting the red envelopes, finishing the celebration banquet, and after a few rounds of teasing and drinking, the people who were a little unfamiliar because of the long time spent in the finale became familiar again.

Knowing that Wen Zhuoyu and Gu Xihuai have jointly established a new film and television production company and recruited Chen Xusheng as a partner, Cen Wangnian is actually a little moved.It's just that his family knows about his family affairs, and after filming for half his life, there are not many films that can pay back except for winning awards.

Of course Wen Zhuoyu would not dislike it.In fact, the reason why Wen Zhuoyu wants to hold another celebration banquet this time through "Embroidered Life" is because of director Cen Wangnian and his royal team.

If a film and television production company wants to gain a foothold in the industry, it only needs to make a few movies with good reputation and good box office.However, Wen Zhuoyu and Gu Xihuai partnered to form a film and television production company, obviously ambitious.He didn't want to make a fuss.So in the field of commercial films, Wen Zhuoyu recruited director Chen Xusheng and his production team to take the lead. As for the field of literary films, the best candidate is naturally Cen Wangnian.

It just so happened that Cen Wang had a conflict with his agency some time ago because of the filming of "Embroidered Life". Naturally, Wen Zhuoyu wanted to take advantage of the fire, and it would be best to directly dig people into his own bowl with the team.

Director Cen Wangnian didn't expect Wen Zhuoyu to have this kind of heart, so he combined it with the next shot.It just so happened that Director Cen Wangnian Nan's contract with the original agency was about to expire: "There is still half a year left, and I will not renew the contract when it is up. There is no need to pay liquidated damages."

Director Cen Wangnian said cheerfully: "In August, let's go to the Golden Lion Awards Ceremony. After the closing ceremony is over, it will be September. If we go back and procrastinate, it will be Chinese New Year. I will go to the new company to report after the Chinese New Year. .At that time, it is not too late for us to start another project.”

Wen Zhuoyu gave director Cen Wangnian a thumbs up, and sure enough, Jiang is still hot!

When I went home and told Gu Xihuai, Gu Xihuai immediately smiled and said, "I didn't expect that director Cen would be gentle when he was making movies, but he was quick and resolute when he did things."

Wen Zhuoyu smiled: "Director Cen is indeed a decisive person." Otherwise, he would not be able to mortgage the house for filming.

Gu Xihuai said: "Speaking of which, I haven't worked with director Cen Wangnian yet! If there is a chance, I should cooperate once."

As a sad rookie who debuted for six or seven years and aspires to win awards but runs with him every time, Gu Xihuai's obsession with trophies is also understandable.

Wen Zhuoyu thought for a while: "In the future, everyone will work in the same company, and there will be opportunities for cooperation."

"Let's think about it now, what to do next!"

In August, Shuicheng is sunny and picturesque.

Wen Zhuoyu brought Gu Xihuai and the main creative staff of "Embroidered Life" to the pre-booked hotel two days in advance, then left the crew behind and went out alone with Gu Xihuai for two days.On the morning of the opening ceremony of the Golden Lion Film Festival, I returned to the hotel.

Director Cen Wangnian told Wen Zhuoyu that the crew of "Embroidered Life" had already arranged interviews with several foreign media, and asked Wen Zhuoyu, the leading actor, to cooperate with the publicity.Of course Wen Zhuoyu would not object.After recording a few interviews, it was almost evening.

The festival officially opens.The home court is at the Movie Palace, and the opening movie is called "The Starry Sky at Night", which is a new work by a certain international director. The screening time of "Embroidered Students" was scheduled for the third day of the opening ceremony, and there were three screenings in total.It can be seen that the organizer gave "Embroidered Life" a very good treatment, probably because of director Cen Wangnian's face.After all, Director Cen Wangnian is also a fierce man who has won the Golden Lion Award for Best Director.

Compared with the thickness or lacklusterness of other participating films, "Embroidered Life" obviously has a very attractive advantage in terms of narrative rhythm.The plot is bright, the rhythm is tight, and the characters are vivid, which accurately reflects the historical changes of the country and individuals in the great era.And at the end of the film, the actor suddenly woke up from a dream, and finally reached a reconciliation with his father, which seemed so meaningful.

All in all, this is a highly watchable movie.So much so that the three films that the organizers have arranged for "Embroidered Life" have achieved a miracle that the shows are sold out. This phenomenon is also very rare for the Golden Lion Awards.

Seeing this, Cen Wangnian was very excited, and took this data to negotiate with overseas issuers.Wen Zhuoyu is obviously an outsider in this regard.Wen Zhuoyu had never been exposed to this field in his previous life, and Wen Zhuoyu didn't know anything. Considering that the film and television production company he and Gu Xihuai established might also need to cooperate with overseas distributors one day, Wen Zhuoyu and Gu Xihuai simply followed Cen Wangnian, participated in the entire negotiation process.

"Counting the overseas distribution, "Embroidered Life" can earn at least 2000 to [-] million!" A few days later, Director Cen pressed the calculator and said to Wen Zhuoyu happily: "Fortunately, it is not a disgrace. Now Just waiting for the closing ceremony."
