Chapter 707 The Road to the Future!

The next day.

The box office of the movie released yesterday was published online.

"Howl's Moving Castle" grossed only 220 million.

In front of a lot of movies whose first-day box office has exceeded 500 million, 600 million, or even over [-] million.

"Howl's Moving Castle" is a little off-putting.

Didn't even get anyone's attention.

But the strange thing is that "Howl's Moving Castle" is far ahead in terms of word of mouth.

Whether it is the ratings on Douban, or the evaluations of major media and film and television bloggers after watching, they all exceed the movies of the same period.

Such a strong performance in word of mouth made everyone have to turn their attention to this movie.

Because they know that the box office on the first day does not mean anything.

What really determines whether a movie is good or bad is the subsequent box office trend.

On the next day, "Howl's Moving Castle" directly broke through to 2100 million!
From 220 million to 2100 million, this increase shocked many people.

After all, the increase in Xu Wen's previous "Manslaughter" was not so terrifying.

This is equivalent to "Howl's Moving Castle" directly breaking the record held by Xu Wen's "Manslaughter" at that time.

Breaking Xu Wen's record is undoubtedly breaking the myth in people's minds.

For a while, whether it is the media or film and television bloggers.

Even the circle of friends.

They're all reporting on the box office boom of Howl's Moving Castle.

The overwhelming news on the Internet is not stingy with exposure.

In the end, it airborne directly to the top of the hot search list.

"Howl's Moving Castle" has never been more popular.

Since then, the box office data has also been rising all the way.

From 2200 million to 3400 million to 4500 million, and finally achieved a single-day box office achievement of breaking [-] million a week after its release!

Another record was broken.

That is the highest single-day box office for an animated film.

After watching "Howl's Moving Castle", Wan Yan, a well-known director in the film and television industry, claimed: "This is a work that can affect the future direction of animation films in Huaguo."

Maybe it's a catchphrase.

Looking back at the movie "Howl's Moving Castle" many years later, it has indeed created a new animation style.

But different from his previous life, people called him the style of Mr. Gong.

It's called Xu Wen's style.

That's right, when people discovered that "Howl's Moving Castle" had broken the record of "Manslaughter", they were surprised to find that the big boss of the studio behind "Howl's Moving Castle" was actually Xu Wen.

In other words, it was a work under Xu Wen's banner, which broke Xu Wen's own record.

The flood rushed to the Dragon King Temple.

My family broke my own family's record.

Such a ridiculous scene naturally attracted a lot of discussion from the media and the circle.

But it still can't stop the box office of "Howl's Moving Castle" by leaps and bounds.

In addition to word-of-mouth, this movie has also made great achievements in the field of art.

Several art academies expressed that they would specifically introduce this type of painting style in their teaching materials as a template for appreciation.

It can be regarded as allowing this film to be completely recognized academically.

In the end, the movie successfully won the box office champion of the month with a box office of 9 million.

The cost was less than 1 million, and the box office was 9 million.

In the eyes of everyone, Xu Wen has another successful masterpiece.

And Gong Jun didn't rest either.

After discussing with Xu Wen, 1 million yuan was quickly allocated to the production of another film, and the studio also expanded its manpower again.

This movie is "Spirited Away".

Now that you have already plucked the old man's wool once, let's lick it to the end.

Compared to "Howl's Moving Castle".

This film is the only film in Mr. Gong's career that has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

It is also the most well-known movie of Mr. Gong, and it is not the same as "My Neighbor Totoro".

The animation studio is making intensive preparations.

Xu Wen's company is not idle either.

in a few days.

The documentary "Human World" filmed by the team headed by Zhang Qiu was announced to be launched.

At the same time, Mango Taihua Qingyun's documentary "The Court" was also launched.

The two teams, both led by women, had a dispute at the beginning of filming.

Later, the dispute caused by Xu Wen's intervention became even greater.

Although Xu Wen led the team to withdraw from Xiangcheng, everyone knew it.

Xu Wen is not the one to admit defeat.

I heard that Xu Wen thought of a new idea for Zhang Qiu, and added Xu Wen's name in the screenwriter column.

This raised everyone's expectations.

After all, this is Xu Wen's return after being away from the documentary circle for many years.

At the beginning, Xu Wen started his career in documentaries, and then stepped into the entertainment industry.

Step by step, he has become a documentary director that attracts everyone's attention.

Now returning to the documentary, I don’t know how many people are secretly waiting for the launch of this documentary.

At the same time, everyone is very optimistic about Hua Qingyun.

After all, this is the existence known as "Xu Wen 2.0".

In the era when Xu Wen is no longer, she will be the king.

Although this time it was a competition between the works of Zhang Qiu and Hua Qingyun.

But in the eyes of insiders, it is a competition between Hua Qingyun and Xu Wen, two people who represent the existence of documentaries in different eras.

As time comes.

These two documentaries were launched on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Channels and Mango Channels at the same time.

One tells the story of the court, and the other tells the story of the hospital.

The audience also gathered in front of the TV to watch this work for the first time.

And word of mouth came out in the first time.

On the Internet, there are those who like Hua Qingyun, and there are also those who like "Human World".

Each has its own supporters.

Although it seems that there are two distinct factions, as the two TV stations announced their ratings data, there was a distinction between high and low.

Hua Qingyun's "Court" had an audience rating of 2.11% on Mango Channel.

This kind of achievement is still a great success before most of the TV dramas today have only 1%-2% ratings.

However, the first episode of "Human World" directly overwhelmed Hua Qingyun's "Court" with a ratings of 3.23%.

In the comment area, there are all praises for "Human World".

The "Best Cry" documentary was officially titled "Human World".

In the next few episodes, "Human World" has surpassed "The Court" with scores of 3.65%, 3.56%, etc.

After these results came out, Hua Qingyun meaningfully reposted Xu Wen's "Bite of the Tongue" poster in Moments, and added a "Like" emoticon package.

It was an official declaration of failure.

Xu Wen is proud of the spring breeze here, animation movies are shining brightly, and returning to the documentary industry is also very popular.

But most of his focus remains on the film he is currently directing.

That is "Wandering Blue Star".

As winter entered, "Wandering Blue Star" was officially completed on a certain night.

After finishing, Xu Wen invited a top editing team to start editing "The Wandering Earth".

After the outside world learned that "Wandering Blue Star" was finished, they also began to look forward to this movie.

Because it was widely rumored that this movie was Xu Wen's biggest investment.

Soon after the editing of "Wandering Blue Star" was completed, Xu Wen led the actors to start the formal promotion process.

It will be a month later when it is released.

For this reason, the cinema also gave Xu Wen enough face, and opened the biggest film schedule to Xu Wen.

The next day, the news that "Wandering Blue Star" had a box office of 1.2 million on its first day shocked everyone.

This is the best achievement ever achieved by Huaguo science fiction films.

However, it didn't stop there. In the next few days, the box office of "Wandering Blue Star" was 1.02 million and 1.01 million.
The terrifying figure of 1 million single-day box office for a week in a row made everyone's eyes locked on this movie.

The box office of "Wandering Blue Star" has exceeded 10 billion in the first week of its release!
This is the best achievement of Huaguo science fiction film so far.

However, the follow-up performance of "Wandering Blue Star" shocked everyone even more. In the end, "Wandering Blue Star" became the top box office list of Chinese movies with a box office of more than 40 billion!

It was originally a sci-fi film that was not expected.

However, it was filmed by Xu Wen as the number one box office in China.

For a moment, all eyes of the whole country were on that man.

Invested animation film breaks records!
Returning to the documentary world and breaking records.

Even the sci-fi movie shot broke the record again.

A large number of interviews and job offers were sent to Xu Wen.

All kinds of endorsements are also coming in a flood.

Everyone wanted to invite Xu Wen to come out, even if it was just an interview, it was enough.

The term "National Teacher" is also officially used to address Xu Wen.

Now that Xu Wen is mentioned, what everyone thinks of is the national teacher!

However, at this time, Xu Wen met an important person at home and learned a shocking news.

"What did you say? The meteor shower is the key information for traveling back to Earth?"

Xu Wen stared dumbfounded at the unshaven Kong Sheng who had lived in the wild for decades.

After Kong Sheng left the entertainment circle, he started to travel around the country.

Then began to travel around the world.

In the beginning, Xu Wen was able to have some contact with Kong Sheng.

But gradually, Kong Sheng disappeared completely, and even Zhou Tuo didn't know where Kong Sheng went, only knew that he was abroad.

Just when Xu Wen thought that Kong Sheng would never appear in his life again.

One afternoon, Kong Sheng suddenly came to the door.

It's just that this homeless man was almost kicked out by the security guards.

But after meeting Xu Wen, Kong Sheng brought Xu Wen a piece of news that surprised him.

"It's true. I believe you have seen some things in this world that many people in this world have dreamed about the works of our previous life."

"The music of "Wulin Biography", "Wandering Blue Star" and even "Howl's Moving Castle", and even the things that I traveled through."

"Actually, it's not just you. I noticed it too. At that time, I thought it was strange, so after I faded out of the entertainment industry, I collected some information related to this everywhere."

"Later, I discovered that the Moonship meteor shower is a phenomenon similar to Halley's Comet, returning to the blue star orbit every few decades."

"Before and after this meteor shower comes, weird things will happen. When you think about it carefully, when you cross over, sometimes it happens to be a few days after the last meteor shower?"

Kong Sheng's words awakened the dreamer.

Xu Wen thought about it carefully.

Kong Sheng continued.

"And I also found a case before, that is, after the meteor shower, someone's personality was completely different, and he was a completely different person."

"But later on the day when the meteor shower came, I accidentally fell into the lake, but not only did I not die, but I changed back to my original personality."

"Some of the talents from the previous meeting are gone, and there is no memory of the previous period. What does this mean? That person just traveled back!"

"And this kind of thing has happened in 3 cases in the information I found!"

Xu Wen frowned.

"But you can't be sure that you have traveled back."

"But this is the direction! I don't plan to wait anymore, I can't get used to here, I plan to go back, if I miss this time, I will have to wait for decades, so I'm here to tell you about it, as for whether you want to It’s up to you to go back, there are still 3 days, you can handle it yourself.”

What Kong Sheng said shocked Xu Wen.

Reminiscent of what he said on the taxi before, Xu Wen fell silent for a while.

After Kong Sheng finished speaking, he left.

Go back or stay?
Xu Wen's mind was in chaos.

During this period of time, I don't know why Xu Wen misses his past life so much.

I often miss things from my past life.

I also imagined that it would be great if I could go back.

But I didn't expect that now there is really an opportunity in front of me.

For a while, Xu Wen also fell into confusion and didn't know what to do.

After ordering his assistant, Xu Wen turned down all the work.

At the same time, the phone was turned off.

Xu Wen returned home alone.

Look at things in the house.

There are photos from when the documentary was first filmed.

The person in the photo is smiling happily, it is "A String of Life".

There is also Xu Wen's first trophy.

There are also souvenirs bought on a date with Hu Xiaoqing.

Items and photos placed at home made Xu Wen extraordinarily hesitant at this opportunity before he could go home.

Xu Wen inspected every item in his home, not knowing what to do for a while.

Finally Xu Wen took out his mobile phone and called his parents.

Called each friend again.

Finally, I called Hu Xiaoqing.

three days later.

late at night.

The sky is full of fleeting meteors.

The rare meteor shower in decades is here!
The top of Nanshan Park in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Kong Sheng looked at Xu Wen who came alone.

"Are you ready? I brought a lot of sleeping pills, which should ensure that the two of us can travel back in our sleep."

"I"

Xu Wen hesitated.

Kong Sheng stuffed the medicine into Xu Wen's hand.

"I'm not forcing you, you make up your own mind."

After speaking, he directly took the medicine in his hand and lay quietly on the grass.

Xu Wen was left looking at the medicine in his hand, and fell into a tangle.

The next morning.

Xu Wen walked down from the park with Kong Sheng.

At this moment, Kong Sheng seemed to be a different person.

I don't know Xu Wen.

The two walked down while chatting.

Kong Sheng was puzzled as to why he was lying on the grass in the park.

At the gate of the park, the two waved and separated.

"Is that Director Kong Sheng?"

Hu Xiaoqing's voice sounded behind Xu Wen.

She was called by Xu Wen.

After Hu Xiaoqing finished speaking, she took Xu Wen's hand.

Nestled against Xu Wen, looking at Kong Sheng's back.

"Why do you feel that the sound of the hole is different?"

"That's not Director Kong Sheng. You read it wrong. How could Kong Sheng be so sloppy? He might be eating in a familiar place now."

Xu Wen said with a smile.

As he spoke, he threw the sleeping pills into the trash can beside him.

In the end, Xu Wen still didn't take the bottle of medicine.

He hated people in this world, and even more hated Hu Xiaoqing.

May be doomed to regret.

He still chose to stay in this world as Xu Wen!
He also knew that this was the only chance he had missed to go back.

Because seeing that Kong Sheng swallowed so many sleeping pills and was still alive, Kong Sheng probably went back.

Hu Xiaoqing took a deep breath.

"Okay, maybe I was wrong."

"Go to breakfast?"

"it is good."

The two walked hand in hand on the streets in the early morning.

A few years later.

"The next thing I announce is that Mr. Xu Wen, who broke the box office record with "Inception" won the Oscar for Best Director!"

"He is also the first director from Huaguo to receive this award, let us congratulate him."

Accompanied by applause and cheers, Xu Wen in a suit stepped onto the podium.

Facing the global live broadcast, Xu Wen slowly expressed his acceptance speech.

"I have gained a lot and learned a lot along the way. Although I have regrets, I am also very grateful."

"It was film and television that gave me hope in life when I was at my lowest point, thank you everyone, thank you to the audiences and filmmakers around the world."

"I am the first Chinese director to win the Oscar for Best Director."

"Next, please let me be the first director to propose at the Oscars."

Immediately afterwards, under the attention of everyone and the exclamation of disbelief.

Xu Wen knelt down on one knee and took out a ring from the pocket.

"Miss Hu Xiaoqing"

The camera was also all aimed at the girl sitting under the stage.

At this moment, she was a little dazed and her breathing was a little short.

Xu Wen smiled slightly.

"Will you marry me?"

Facing Xu Wen's question, the audience held their breath at this moment.

The audience in front of the TV also grabbed the things around them by coincidence.

He widened his eyes and waited for the answer from the Chinese girl in the camera.

Hu Xiaoqing wept with joy, then nodded heavily.

"I would like to!!"

There was thunderous applause at this moment, and the audience cheered!

Although Xu Wen did not choose to return to the original world.

But he also found a way to the future in this world!
It is a path that leads to hope, beauty, blessings! (End of the book)!
