This actor doesn't look like a good guy

Chapter 170 Hero Box Office Explosion
In a blink of an eye, it has been a month since the release of Heroes. In addition to the domestic release of this movie, more than 20 foreign countries have put this movie in theaters.

It's just that compared with foreign countries, the domestic reviews of this movie are actually not very good.

Although the premiere was held in the Great Hall of the People at the time of the premiere, about [-] reporters from nearly [-] countries and regions crowded the scene on the same day.

But many domestic audiences did not buy it.

Some people think that such a thin and simple plot is not enough to support a grand but too single theme, and they feel that the character creation of this movie is too flat and symbolic, and the lines and performances of online stage dramas are a bit exaggerated.

Like a donkey dung egg, the surface is smooth, but the inside is extremely rough.

All in all, it's just scolding.

People are saying that the old man has exhausted his talents, and if he can't shoot realistic themes, he goes to the martial arts side to join in the fun, and the result is a mess.

After Jiang Bai learned that the film was released in foreign countries, he paid out of his own pocket to invite the crew to watch it in the cinema.

It's just that they all felt pretty good after watching it, and Jiang Bai also heard that after Hero entered the Hollywood theaters, he quickly won the North American box office weekly champion so far this year.

Coming out of the theater, Jiang Bai heard that the most talked about heroes and the previously released Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

"Jiang Bai, when I was in the theater just now, I saw that you were also on the staff list, but I don't think it's surprising to have you in kung fu, but why is your name also included in the music production?"

On the car going back, Keanu Reeves asked Jiang Bai suspiciously.

"Because I did design a lot of music in it. In the movie when I was fighting with Jeter Lee, I composed the music, and there are some later."

Keanu Reeves couldn't help but be amazed after hearing it, because he had also been in a band before, so he was also very interested in this aspect.

So the two chatted about some music in the car again.

When filming Heroes, Jiang Bai didn't know much about modern music, but later he also studied for a while, learned to use staff, and also learned some music knowledge taught in school now.

Combined with the things he knew before, he quickly chatted with Keanu Reeves.

It's just that during the chat, Jiang Bai felt from the other party's words that the other party seemed to be somewhat hostile to China, and the other party was also getting close to some separatists, which made him very unhappy.

And after chatting that night, Jiang Bai's affection for Keanu Reeves plummeted.

Originally thought that the other party was also a handsome and dedicated actor, but since he couldn't see the situation clearly on this issue, Jiang Bai didn't need to communicate too much with the other party.

But on the third day after watching the movie, after Jiang Bai finished his work, he picked a time to call Zhang Yimou and asked about the hero.

"They say it's not good-looking, it's because they don't understand."

Speaking of this topic, Zhang Yi felt a little resentful, "Look, I will make them all regret what they said."

Jiang Bai knew why Zhang Yimou said that, because now Hero's box office is going very well. Whether a movie is good or bad, besides the audience's reputation, the box office can also testify to it.

And Jiang Bai couldn't say anything, he just said some comforting words and then talked about other topics.

In this way, another few months passed, and Jiang Bai's movements were almost done, and as the weather gradually turned cold, Jiang Bai also changed into thick clothes.

"Brother Jiang, will we be able to go back in a month or so?"

On this day, Su Rou and Jiang Bai complained that they had been in Australia for eight months.

It's the end of the year in the country.

She was already tired of eating the food here all day long.

"Yeah, it will be over in another month or so. After I go back this time, I must go to eat our own food. In the eighth building, I will go to one every day. change the taste."

"Yeah, I'm going to eat all the delicacies from those food stalls, such as stinky tofu, malatang, hot pot, skewers... and rice noodles." Su Rou agreed.

Both she and Jiang Bai were able to communicate with foreigners fluently from the beginning when they could only communicate with foreigners in English.

"I don't know why they all want to come to foreign countries one by one. I think our country is very good."

"Yeah, I feel pretty good too."

The work here is almost finished, and Jiang Bai also got the news that Hero's global box office finally reached 1.77 million US dollars.

And it took in a box office of 5 million US dollars in North America alone.

Later, when Zhang Yimou held a press conference, he felt very happy.

And after that, Zhang Yimou also planned to go outside to appraise the awards.

In addition to the domestic Hong Kong Film Awards and Golden Bauhinia Awards, he also directly took this film to apply for the Golden Rooster Awards, the American Film and TV Golden Globe Awards, and the Berlin Film Festival, etc.

Report all the units that can be reported.

Some time ago they just went to the United States and Germany.

It's a pity that the Oscars didn't win the award, and it was only nominated for the best foreign language film, and it was also nominated for the best foreign language award in the film category at the Golden Globes.

It's just that when they arrived in Berlin, Zhang Yimou himself still won the Alfred Silver Bear Award, which is basically second only to the Golden Bear Award and the Jury Silver Bear Award, and it was still given to Zhang Yimou.

The gold content is also quite high.

But even if the hero didn't win the Golden Bear, he was also nominated for Best Picture at the Golden Bear.

Sometimes a film can be shortlisted to the point of being nominated, which fully proves the strength of the film.

Although Zhang Yi felt a little regretful, he was not overly depressed, because he would have to take the hero to compete in major domestic film festivals next.

So he asked Jiang Bai again if he had time to go there with him.

Jiang Bai thought for a while, if it was a foreign country, he would not be willing to go. Of course, if he told Zhao Zhe about this, Zhao Zhe would definitely encourage himself to go there.

Because going abroad for awards is not only to witness the honor of the film, but also to get the opportunity to walk on the red carpet.

Many domestic stars were not invited at first, and even ordered their own clothes, went to other people's film festivals to rub the red carpet, dawdling back and forth until the security guard chased them away.

Not to mention the opportunity to get an official invitation to walk the red carpet.

But Jiang Bai really stayed in a foreign country for a long time, and wanted to return to the domestic environment.

But since the next award will be in China, Jiang Bai agreed.

"However, in terms of supporting roles, I can't apply for you. It's not because your acting skills are not good. There are too many people queuing up in front of you, and all of them have deep qualifications. However, I can help you apply for other aspects. Report, such as action and music, because I also talked with Cheng Xiaodong and the team before, and they all said that they can report your name in these two aspects. Although you are only assisting them in their work, it is true. A lot of effort has been made in these two areas.”

When Jiang Bai heard this, he immediately felt that it was boring. Since the supporting roles are not in the list, there is no need to report for the others. It is obvious that Cheng Xiaodong and Tan Dun did the main work in terms of action and music.

"Director Zhang, no need, let's report the names of the two teachers. It's okay if you don't get the evaluation. If I do get the evaluation, I will be scolded. Although I also participated in these two aspects, the two of them After all, I am a bigwig in the industry, if I go on stage to win this award, I will probably be scolded to death later."

"Hahaha, are you still afraid of this?" Zhang Yi smiled.

"Of course I'm afraid. If someone says that I'm leaving Director Zhang for your relationship, how bad would it be if it spreads?"

In this way, Jiang Bai declined Zhang Yimou's kindness.

But Jiang Bai didn't plan to participate in these two awards, and then there was no need to go with him again. Afterwards, neither of them said this, but chatted about Zhang Yimou's next play.

The success of this transformation into an action commercial film gave Zhang Yimou a taste of the sweetness, so he plans to continue shooting costume action films in the next step.

"At that time, I want to let you play the leading role."

"No problem." Jiang Bai agreed immediately. Only a fool would refuse if he could cooperate with Zhang Yimou.

In this way, after Jiang Bai finished shooting the last scene here, he planned to return to China.

Before leaving, the Wachowski brothers also specially organized a party for Jiang Bai, and invited many celebrities and socialites in the industry.

But Jiang Bai, who was eager to return home, ignored the hints in their eyes, and then took a special day out to buy some gifts for everyone, and then got on the plane back home.

……

"Finally home."

Jiang Bai stretched after landing.

"Yeah, I'm finally back. Now that I think about the house I rented, it's a loss. I paid nine months' rent, but I didn't live in it for a day." Su Rou said with a sigh.

"Hahaha, I'm still thinking about your little rent. I went on a business trip with me. The travel expenses alone are several times your rent. If you stay in Yanjing all day, you can take your 800 yuan a month. salary, how much money can I save after paying the rent?”

"That's true." Su Rou nodded.

During this time in Australia, Jiang Bai basically stayed with her four or five days a week, and basically unlocked all the unlockable poses.

Sometimes Su Rou doesn't have the energy to accompany Jiang Bai to filming during the day.

Although she was also very happy during the process, but now that she is finally back, she also thinks that she can finally rest for a while, after all, she has not practiced martial arts, and she is not as energetic as Jiang Bai.
