Chapter 398

Because the two films come from the same director.

"The Martian" won the 69th Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Comedy Movie, and the two awards for Best Comedy Movie brought a lot of heat to "The Wandering Earth".

The latter's North American box office successfully exceeded 1 million US dollars.

At the same time, "The Wandering Earth" landed in Europe.

The evaluation of the film in Europe is also different. European audiences generally believe that "The Wandering Earth" is full of humanistic care, and the special effects have become a burden instead.

Fang Nan couldn't laugh or cry when he received the news.

"The Wandering Earth" has been registered in dozens of countries around the world so far. Chinese audiences praised the special effects and touching, while North American audiences praised the special effects and complained about the strange Chinese actors.

European audiences praised humanism, while Korean audiences accused the plot of being too fake, and the Chinese were able to save the earth.

Indian audiences are clamoring that Bollywood can make better visual effects movies than "The Wandering Earth".

Audiences from dozens of countries have dozens of views, but no matter what the views are, the box office of "The Wandering Earth" is a real success.

The last round of data reports Fang Nan received before returning to China showed that the North American box office of "The Wandering Earth" was 1.3 million US dollars.

China's box office was 23 billion yuan, less than US$1 million based on the real-time exchange rate of 6.3618:4, but it has already locked in the 2011 box office champion and once again refreshed the total box office in China's movie box office history.

The film won the box office championship in Hong Kong for three weeks, and the total box office of the film reached 3 million Hong Kong dollars when it was released.

However, "The Wandering Earth" is out of luck. This year there will be a hit sequel movie "Transformers 3".

"Transformers 3" has a Hong Kong box office of more than 8000 million Hong Kong dollars, so that "The Wandering Earth" can only rank No. 2 in the annual box office.

The same is true in Taiwan. "The Wandering Earth" once again lost to "Transformers 1" with a box office of more than 3000 million Taiwan dollars at 3 million Taiwan dollars.

And because Baodao has a hit movie "Sediq Bale" this year, "The Wandering Earth" can only rank third in the annual box office list.

"The Wandering Earth" has just landed in Europe, so the European box office is less than 2000 million U.S. dollars. The box office statistics website estimates the total box office to be about 8000 million U.S. dollars.

The film has been offline in South Korea and Japan, with a total box office of about 1500 million U.S. dollars.

India has just launched, and the total box office is unknown. It should not exceed 1000 million US dollars.

"The Wandering Earth" has already been released in Southeast Asia, and the total box office data provided by the distributor Huaxia Films is 1300 million US dollars.

Seeing the sumptuous box office data, Fang Nan said that enough is enough.

Adding these box office figures, the global box office of "The Wandering Earth" went straight to 7 million US dollars, which is enough to squeeze into the top 7 global box office.

The hit "Iron Man" in the past two years only had a global box office of more than 5 million.

This year's "Mission: Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol", which is full of expectations, and "Forrest Gump", which was acclaimed and popular a few years ago, did not have a global box office of more than 7 million US dollars.

So it can be seen how successful "The Wandering Earth" is and how big the film's box office success is.

Not only that, "The Wandering Earth" also has many other benefits.

Due to the big sales of movies, movies can be sold to many countries around the world for leased movie and TV copyrights, online download copyrights, online broadcast copyrights, and even peripheral copyrights with images and screens, and naming rights.

Netflix, the largest streaming video website in North America, has been striving to win the global copyright of movies in a package.

The other party's price has reached 1 million, so that the Douyin video under Fang Nan's name has to retreat and only seek the domestic copyright. The Douyin video was originally going to use "The Wandering Earth" to promote a wave of Douyin's international version.

The super high box office of the two sci-fi films made Fang Nan the darling of several major Hollywood film industries, and his other projects "Interstellar" and "John Wick" were well received.

Several old Hollywood film companies including Warner Bros. Pictures, Lionsgate Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Universal Pictures, Columbia Pictures, etc. have extended an olive branch to him for cooperation.

In recent years, Disney, which secretly tried to open up the R-rated film market, put aside its unhappiness and sent a vice president to visit Fang Nan.

In addition, Legendary Pictures and Marvel are either trying to hire him as a director for the first time or again.

As legendary as Fang Nan, Steven Spielberg, who became a local tyrant through filming, also personally contacted Fang Nan, and generously invited him to be the director of the new chapter of "Jurassic".

All of these are indicative of Hollywood's change in Fang Nan's attitude.

Not only did Hollywood accept Fang Nan, but they also regarded him as the hottest director at the moment.

Apart from the original cooperation, Fang Nan rejected most of the invitations and cooperation, and only retained the possibility of cooperation with Steven Spielberg.

Today, there are some things that he can no longer decide on himself. There are too many interests behind it. A careless sentence may cost tens of millions of dollars in losses, and professionals must weigh every detail.

All those who say that money makes people indifferent, no matter how emotional they are, will probably become rational when they arrive here.

Negotiations involving tens of millions of dollars in the director's film contract were extremely lengthy. Fang Nan handed over the matter to the brokerage firm Williams and his lawyers and returned to China resolutely.

Arriving home in the early morning of the third day of junior high school, Gao Yuanyuan and his daughter happened to have finished breakfast, humming and squinting.

Fang Qin is one year older, his limbs are getting stronger, and he is easy to cause trouble when he runs fast. Gao Yuanyuan is often exhausted taking care of him alone, but it is really easy when there are too many people taking care of him on the set.

So seeing Fang Nan coming in, Gao Yuanyuan was very happy, someone finally relieved the pressure.

But Fang Qin didn't think so. He filled a large bowl of dumplings and sat on the table as if no one was around Fang Nan, and kept patting his dining car with a spoon.

"Ah, click."

Fang Nan glared angrily and yelled at him, Fang Qin: "Ah, shit, I'm your old man, you forgot me so soon?"

Fang Qin instantly became a little crybag. Fang Nan was the first person who dared to show his teeth and get angry at him. Today, he encountered an iron plate.

Gao Yuanyuan slapped Fang Nan angrily: "I haven't done anything right all day long, and I just made my son cry when I came back."

Fang Nan pointed nonchalantly at the dumplings in the bowl: "The seafood crystal dumplings are very unpalatable, don't buy them next time."

He came from a bitter background in his two lifetimes, so no matter whether he was a low-level person in his previous life or a rich person in this life, what he is most passionate about is affordable food that can satisfy his hunger.

To eat dumplings, you have to eat dumplings with thick skin and deep holes. Gao Yuanyuan can't bear to eat the delicate dumplings bought at a big price.

Gao Yuanyuan put down his son and said with great contempt: "You are really a tortoise eating barley. Even if you become the emperor, you still use a golden hoe to cultivate the land."

Fang Nan disdains, he does not forget his original goodness, people are most afraid of thinking too highly of themselves, but in the end they are nothing more than a cup of loess.

Gao Yuanyuan, who celebrated the Chinese New Year, didn't want to talk too much, pointed to the front yard and told Fang Nan that he had received a lot of presents a year ago.

This year's gifts include not only some good friends in the circle, company executives, and company partners' cigarettes and alcohol, but also a lot of models made of strange materials, and some rural souvenirs.

Fang Nan went to the inverted room with the bowl in his hand, and was taken aback. On the model rack were fire box series engineering vehicles, ivory pagodas, emerald green plants
"You accept this too? Who gave it to you?"

"The green plant is Sister Hua, the engineering vehicle model is Xu Shanzheng, the ivory pagoda is Yu Dong from Bona, and the rest were brought by Cao Guozhong. They all put it down and left and said it was worthless. What can I do?"

"Don't stay at home during the holidays."

Gao Yuanyuan was so angry that the hostess was driven away by the gift giver.

Fortunately, she is not an unreasonable person, and her family's situation is indeed a bit special. To put it bluntly, Fang Nan's life is too successful, whether it's making movies or starting a company, he can make too many people famous all at once. One step to the sky.

"Why don't you buy a villa with a high security factor? I heard that the Yonghe villa is quite good, and there are many insiders living in it."

"It's nice to live in a courtyard house, down to earth."

Fang Nan didn't know whether Gao Yuanyuan was telling the truth or just trying, so he politely refused, stuffed a dumpling into his mouth and said vaguely, "Is there any prospect for this year's work?"

"I'm still angry if you don't ask me, just ask you, how am I worse than Lin Chiling?"

"Your company is looking for an actress to audition, and you want a female number one with a good image and a sweet smile to play with Huang Bo. Sister Hua sent me a photo, but nothing came of it. I called myself and said perfunctorily that Lin Chiling was already booked. The audition was deliberate marketing."

The aggrieved Gao Yuanyuan blushed angrily, and the truth of the matter was obvious.

As a woman, when her image and smile are compared with another woman, she should be furious.

Fang Nante, who was angrily supporting Fang Qin's Gao Yuanyuan to watch, was happy. He hadn't seen such a cute side of Gao Yuanyuan for a long time.

"Then don't go, you don't care about one or two."

Fang Nan, who didn't help but added fuel to the fire, attracted Gao Yuanyuan's eyes and disgust, but she didn't say a word, and twisted her buttocks and carried her son out of the inverted room.

Fang Qin raised his head and looked at his old lady. There were too many new things today, and her old lady treated him so roughly.

The news that Fang Nan returned to Beijing to thank Xu Shanzheng and others spread like wildfire, and all kinds of invitations came to the door in a short time.

Some people really couldn't hide, so Fang Nan had no choice but to meet Mr. Han and others who had retired honorably to have dinner on the fourth day of the lunar new year.

About 10 people came to the noon round, but these 10 people almost decided all the mainstream movies that China will release in the new year. It can be said that they have mastered more than half of the resources of the country's first-line stars and directors.

Mastering celebrity resources means mastering celebrity livelihood in disguise. It is even more difficult for celebrities to be disobedient.

The tragic events in the Korean entertainment industry in 2011 were caused by the existence of such a small circle.

Fang Nan's disappointment in his previous life was also caused by such small circles.

"Mr. Fang, congratulations. "The Wandering Earth" has made a big hit in North America and has made our country famous. After so many years, a Chinese director has finally taught Lao Mei a lesson. Our Chinese films can also make science fiction blockbusters."

After Yu Dong complimented him, he raised his wine glass to have a toast with Fang Nan.

Fang Nan looked at the jug at 2: "I didn't bring my secretary and driver, I drove here alone."

"I'll have someone take you back." Yu Dong let out his domineering air.

Wang Changtian joked, "Yu Dong, don't go back lying down by yourself, you should know Fang Nan's drinking capacity."

Yu Dong put down the airs of the president, and patted his chest boldly: "Lie down and go back, lie down and go back, today we must take good care of our heroes."

It's no wonder that he regards Fang Nan as a benefactor. Last year, Bona invested in the production of seven films, large and small. Among the seven films, "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" was a big loss, "Peach Sister" was a small loss, and several other films also suffered losses. There is little profit, and this year is really a loss.

Fortunately, "The Wandering Earth" lived up to its fate, with a global box office hit of more than 6 million US dollars, and Bona had to make a fortune to pay back all of its 5000 million investment.

Without the strong hit of "The Wandering Earth" at the end of the year, he had to be sprayed out of the sieve by a group of directors.

"Then have a drink, and I don't want you to serve me. Next time the two movies collide, don't complain about me." Fang Nan said with a smile on his face while holding the cup.

Tang Tang Film and Television also invested in "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate", but only accounted for a relatively small share of the investment. After "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" and "The Wandering Earth" collided in December, Yu Dong often stepped up and down in front of the media.

"No, I will take the initiative to detour next time when the schedule hits."

The president of Huaxia Films teased: "It's all nonsense, who doesn't detour, who dares not to detour? We all have to detour, and the box office of more than 20 billion is still in theaters. This time, the whole of Huaxia has fully seen the horror of Director Fang's movies! By the way, Fang Director, can there be two in "The Wandering Earth"? Don't forget us old brothers."

Fang Nan shook his head: "I don't have that idea right now."

"The Wandering Earth" naturally has a second part. He just doesn't have time to do it now, and it depends on whether his mood brings these existing bosses.

He envisions The Wandering Earth as a franchise similar to Star Wars.

There are too many wonderful things and troubles that can be encountered in the wandering time of the earth for thousands of years.

New civilizations, special materials collected in the wandering universe lead to technological changes in humans, alien technology, Zerg, and aliens. As long as the box office keeps doing well, everything is possible.

Even if the movie can't be done, the TV series is very possible.

After the noon dinner, Fang Nan and Mr. Han rushed to another higher-end battlefield non-stop. It was much easier to drink with the leaders of the bureau and the cultural mouth. Got a limit.

On the fifth day of the new year, Fang Nan went to listen to the teachings of Mr. Yan as a routine. Mr. Yan had worked in the General Administration for many years, and Fang Nan, a political rookie, benefited a lot from what he said.

In short, don't be angry, don't have antagonism, and do your business honestly.

Whether it is filmmaking or the Hong Kong International Film Festival, it has achieved results. The day when Chinese-language films can compete with Hollywood, it is not impossible to reform the film system.

Movies from both sides of the strait and the three places are now smashed when they touch Hollywood movies.

The box office charts of Xiangjiang and Formosa are all dominated by Hollywood movies, and the mainland is better but still about the same. Talking about film reform is superfluous.

Zeng Li and Thong Wanzhuo went to England for the Chinese New Year and hadn't come back yet. Fang Nan wanted to see them, so he and Gao Yuanyuan brought their son to go shopping, go to the playground, go to the performing arts center to watch operas every day, eating and drinking happily every day. Play one-stop.

Seeing that the school was about to start, and Zeng Li's mother and daughter came back, Fang Nan put his tail between his legs and thought about going to Yonghe Villa every day. When he was worried, Gao Yuanyuan received an audition call.

The crew of "101 Marriage Proposals", which made her very angry, canceled the original female number one Lin Chiling.

Gao Yuanyuan was very excited. That night, he held down Fang Nan and clapped. Fang Nan suddenly burst into glory. Audition?In the mirror of the hair test, bullying people should not be so bullying!
