billion box office tycoon

"..."Song Manting" Xue Wen, "Seoul Square" Zheng Xiuyuan."

When this sentence was read by Ovira, Xue Wen's calm expression collapsed at that moment. She took a deep breath and her hands trembled a little. In order to cover up this gaffe, she pretended to be surprised and said to Ye Weilin : "Could she have mispronounced it, or maybe she was joking with me."

How could Ye Weilin not see through her concealed excitement, so he also laughed in a low voice: "Have you memorized the award-winning lines?"

Xue Wen didn't answer. She looked at the bright lights on the stage with uncontrollable expectations in her eyes.

At this point, she is only one step away from the laurel crown. She knows that the possibility of her winning the award is very slim, and being nominated is beyond her expectations. real.

The cold spring in May is hard to guard against, especially at night in the mountains.

Yu Rong took a cup of hot tea brought by the assistant, took a sip and held it in the palm of her hand to dispel the coldness and moisture.

"The director is really tossing people, and he is still camping and filming in this horrible weather."

Hearing the assistant's low-pitched complaints, Yu Rong glanced at her indifferently, and the other party immediately bowed her head and said nothing as if she had done something wrong.

The filming of the night scene was not smooth, but the reason was not her. Looking at the young actor who was raped by the director not far away, Yu Rong picked up the phone rather bored, and was about to play a game to relieve boredom, but the screen just popped up one news--

"Song Manting" was nominated for "Palme d'Or", and Xue Wen was crowned Cannes Best Actress.

what? !

Yu Rong stared at this message in disbelief for a long while, until it automatically slid up before reacting, and quickly opened the web page to search for this message.

Sure enough, the entire search page was full of this news, with pictures and texts to promote it, and she clicked in one by one, all of which were praise words, and most of these websites used such a photo as a news photo.

Under the bright lights, Xue Wen held the trophy representing the highest honor for an actress in Cannes, with excitement on her young face and tears welling up in her eyelashes.

After Yu Rong clicked on this high-definition picture, she stared at it for a long time, and her thoughts flew to more than ten days ago involuntarily. At that time, she was walking on the red carpet of the opening ceremony of Cannes wearing a dress and style exclusively designed for her by a certain designer. On the spotlight, it has attracted the attention of countless foreign media.

Although she returned to China immediately after the opening ceremony to continue the filming schedule, this short trip to Cannes still brought her enthusiasm.

Yu Rong smiled wryly and closed the phone page. How could she not know the outside world's evaluation of her annual red carpet trip?But since she left the company and started her own studio, many things are up to her whether she likes it or not. An accident that fell down on the red carpet has become a label since then. Only by creating such a gimmick can the public mention it. The three major international film festivals always think of her, Yu Rong, and always remember her past glory, and her net worth will always maintain or even rise.

Looking at the country, among actresses of her age, she is definitely a top-notch celebrity.

But now, because of Xue Wen, her status is collapsing.

"Sister Yu, it's almost time for you. The director asked you to prepare first." The assistant looked at Yu Rong who was motionless, and asked for instructions in a cautious tone.

"Okay, you go first, I'll make a call." Yu Rong only hesitated for a while, and then pressed a certain number that she knew by heart.

In this trip to Cannes, although Ye Weilin did not get the most desired award, the trip was worthwhile. Not only was he nominated for the best picture, but the leading actress Xue Wen also won the best actress title with this film.In the eyes of outsiders, he, a fledgling new director, has become a model for domestic emerging directors, attracting as much attention as Xue Wen, who has just been crowned an international actress.

"I should have left with you..." Ye Weilin looked at the row of short guns outside the airport passageway, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

Xue Wen was dressed in the simplest white shirt and jeans, facing the frenzied shooting of the media not far away, but what she was thinking about was still the beauty of that night——

"...Best Actress, "Song Manting" Xue Wen!" Accompanied by Ovira's deliberately elongated voice, the noisy surroundings gradually fell silent.

She sat upright as motionless as a mountain, seemingly calm, but she was actually stunned as if her soul had come out of her body.

The light shining down from above her head was so bright and blurred, as if a halo suddenly enveloped her, she finally stood up and walked up to the more brilliant stage.

When she took the trophy from Olivia, tears seemed to flow out uncontrollably, and the other party walked away very intimately, leaving the stage to her.

She didn't know what she said, and the speech she had prepared didn't seem to be used.

No matter whether she is brilliant or down in the future, that night will be unforgettable for a lifetime.

Seeing Xue Wen distracted, Ye Weilin couldn't help laughing. Since that night, the other party has been in this state, as if he has not recovered, he can understand, and believes that the other party's character will not be immersed in the joy of winning the award for a long time In the middle, I don't want to spoil the other party's interest.

After they separated, Ye Weilin didn't have time to go home, so he rushed to Xingyu Company for the movie.

Since the news that "Song Man Ting" was shortlisted in Cannes, Xingyu Company, the largest shareholder, began to promote the film, but the schedule has not yet been determined, because the schedules of two major productions such as "Wu Xiang Shan" and "Legend of Embroidered Lady" are also on schedule. Undecided, "Song" is a literary film, even if it has the gimmick of being shortlisted for international film festivals, it will be difficult to resist the box office squeeze of these two commercial films.

But the situation is different now. Being shortlisted and being nominated are two levels. Being shortlisted means that the film is above the standard, and being nominated is different. This is a symbol of gold content. Halo to see.

And Xue Wen won the best actress, which adds to the commercial value of this film. Domestic actresses rarely make achievements in international A-category film awards. Xue Wen's honor is not only her own, but also rises to some The national pride in people's hearts is on the rise.

Based on these two points, Xingyu Company decided to schedule the film in early July, the prime time of summer vacation.

The summer season is the peak of the movie box office competition, and July is even more raging. Except for the October Golden Week and Lunar New Year, there is no time period that can exceed the summer. It is conceivable that "Wu Xiangshan" And "Legend of Xiuniang" should also be around this time period.

Xingyu rushed to finalize the release of these two big-budget films, and he has already expressed his attitude: "Song" is not afraid to compete with other films at the box office.

As for the schedule, Ye Weilin can't control too much, he only has the right to make suggestions at most, and what Xingyu needs him to do now is not to suggest a schedule for the movie, but to run around to promote the movie.

"This is the company's tentative itinerary." Luo Mao gave Ji Yan a copy before, but he guessed that Ye Weilin hadn't had time to read it, so he also gave him a copy.

Ye Weilin felt dizzy after only two glances.

The promotional itinerary lasted for a month, from mid-June to mid-July, covering almost the entire film schedule and preliminary preparations.

The places to go in the itinerary include more than 20 cities, almost all the first- and second-tier cities, in addition to the itinerary of Hong Kong and Taiwan, the schedule is very tight, often in a certain place in the morning, and left in the afternoon That place is thousands of miles away.

"This is tentative, and it has to match the itinerary of the lead actor, especially Ms. Xue's." Luo Moo paused and continued, "William... I don't know how you think about that matter?"

Ye Weilin was startled, then said helplessly, "I'll tell him."

"Okay, then I won't be this bad guy." Luo Mao nodded and didn't say anything more.

The "he" in Ye Weilin's mouth naturally refers to Ye Weisheng, and the "that matter" in Luo Mao's mouth is about whether Ye Weilin is willing to join Xingyu Company.

Xue Wen is not the only one who has been wiped away by "Song Man Ting". , there is only one director who can win the Cannes Film Festival nomination for the film.

Before returning to China, Ye Weilin had already received olive branches from major film and television companies. Xingyu Company, which had tasted the sweetness of "Hometown Phantom" and "Song Manting", felt a sense of crisis in an instant. Ye Weisheng immediately asked his younger brother to buy a share .

This is a binding requirement. If Ye Weilin enters, no matter how much he is, others will regard him as a member of Xingyu Company.

What Ye Weilin really wanted was to open a film production company by himself, but now, although he has achieved remarkable achievements as a new director, in reality, he still has not accumulated enough capital to support a film and television company.

After dozens of hours of flying, Ye Weilin was already exhausted, and after discussing with Luo Mao at Xingyu Company for several hours, when he returned home, he was too sleepy to keep his eyes open.

Although exhausted to the limit, Ye Weilin still did not forget to take out a small gift bought in France and hand it to Yin Lan.

Knowing that Ye Weilin came back today, Yin Lan specially bought a lot of food that the other party liked, and cooked it carefully all afternoon. Who knew that the other party went to the company right after getting off the plane, and didn't come back until evening.

But when he opened the door and saw Ye Weilin with a pale and haggard face and sloppy steps, the slight grievance and dissatisfaction in his heart instantly turned into distress.

But the other party smiled unconsciously, and the first thing he did when he entered the door was to take out a small delicate box from his shirt pocket.

"Open it?" His eyes were full of smiles, and his voice was as gentle as ever.

After Yin Lan took it, she opened it carefully.
