Chapter 22 Heroes
In August, people from the Berlin Film Festival extended a film invitation to Zhang Yang. Shortly after the September New Year Party, Zhang Yang handed over the film somewhere to the staff of the Berlin Film Festival.

On October 3300st, The Peony Flower was released on time. Since the box office of Flesh and Soul was lower than expected, The Peony Flower did not give many copies. The final box office of more than 1000 million was more than most movies released this year. Zhang Yang this time It can be divided into about [-] million.

In this way, my wallet, which was a little flat because I bought a lot of equipment, became bulging again.In this way, Zhang Yang has nearly 6000 million U.S. dollars lying in the bank. Adding the 1000 million yuan in RMB, the value is back to about 4000 million.There was also the NetEase stock bought for US$200 million at that time.

In fact, people who can invest in buying houses now, like Master Mei, had little income during the entire Anti-Japanese War and relied on selling houses to survive.

The War of Resistance Against Japan was won.The house has not been sold yet, there is still a lot left.

Forget it, Zhang Yang's movies are all shot by foreign companies, and this country's wool is not enough.

Tencent and Alibaba can also do it, but think about what they will do when they enter the film and television industry. Don't be coerced into not doing it when the time comes.

Next, Zhang Yang also participated in the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards on the 22nd. This time, Under the Peony Flowers won the Best Photography Award. The dark tones probably made it difficult for them to understand, and they were so shocked that Yuan Quan won it again. The Best Supporting Actress Award, she is about to turn this award into her own.

What’s interesting is that the character she played in the award-winning film is called Xia Yu. I’ll go and you can play.

Come December, the biggest thing for the film industry is not that Hero is about to be released, but that Zhang Yang's boss, Zhang Dapao, the man behind Lao Mouzi, has increased the box office share from 38% to 40% with the power of blockbusters. [-]%.

Zhang Yang could only say, "Well done."

So when Zhang Yang was invited to the premiere of Hero, he readily agreed.

By the way, the ticket price for Hero's movie this time has doubled compared to the previous movie, from twenty or thirty to fifty.

That’s why the theater chain agreed to increase the share so easily!They are all profiteers, so go ahead and fight.In the end, middle-class families foot the bill.

The cannon of self-respect is used, and the tricks are continued. First of all, reporters are required to use their real names. This is actually a good thing in the long run.Then they forced the cinema to sign a confidentiality agreement and fined them for losing a copy.This is actually a good thing, as Feng Pants didn’t mention, many piracy is done by staff of state-owned enterprises.

But now in 2002, this is very rebellious. This is the benefit of qualifications. Zhang Yang is now constantly using awards to build up his qualifications.But he still suffered the consequences of his age.

The premiere of NO.14 started in the Great Hall of the People. In fact, it had already been screened before it started. Zhang Yang sat in the Great Hall and watched it again. He really had to learn how to manage such a big scene.

And the color is really beautiful!Lao Gu, Lao Mouzi, and Chen Poet can be said to have understood how to play with colors.

But they are both younger brothers in the plot, and they are all immersed in the language of the camera. Just wait!Zhang Yang thought to himself, when I start domestic business, I will give up these fancy shots as soon as possible.Then there will be a dimensionality reduction attack.

But I guess it will take many years.Frustrated!
After the movie, Zhang Yang was forced to listen to a group of people praising Lao Mouzi because he was sitting in the front row.

However, Lao Mouzi noticed Zhang Yang and walked directly to Zhang Yang.
"Zhang Yang, what do you think of this movie?"

"It's very shocking. There is a lot worth learning for me!"

Zhang Dapao became excited when he heard this.

"Director Zhang, you have won many awards, almost as much as Lao Mouzi, but you are still too young and have too little life experience. There is still a lot to learn."

In the past, director Zhang in the film industry was basically the abbreviation of Zhang Yimou. Since Zhang Yang was born, this honor has disappeared. Especially after he has won more and more awards, when talking about director Zhang, the first reaction of some people is Zhang Yang. .But this Xiao Zhang is still too harsh and bullies me for being young!

Poet Chen was a little unhappy after hearing what Zhang Dapao said. "There is a difference between an award and an award. Cannes, for example, is the most inclusive place in the world, and it is also the most competitive place. If you can win the Palme d'Or, Xiao Zhang still has something."

Okay, here comes another pretender.

At this time, Zhang Yang was overjoyed when he saw Principal Zhang coming over. The backer is here!

"Lao Zhang is right, but let's not talk about Xiao Zhang. Lao Zhang seems a bit disrespectful. From now on, you can call me Director Zhang Yang, or you can just call me by my full name like Lao Mouzi."

Listening to Zhang Yang's words, Poet Chen, Zhang Dapao and Lao Mouzi were all stunned for a moment. The kid had quite a personality. Zhang Dapao was about to speak again, but Zhang Yang spoke first,

"Teacher, here you are. I'm talking to Lao Mouzi and Poet Chen right now, and I didn't even go to say hello to you. I'm rude."

The people surrounding Zhang Yang turned around and saw Principal Zhang, "Yimou, Brother Kai, am I a good student?"

Good guy, I said, why did I suddenly choke? It turns out that the teacher is here.

Zhang Dapao looked deeply at Zhang Yang and said nothing. I heard that this kid took the college entrance examination a year early to prevent his relatives and friends from cheating him on his pension. He should have thought of it a long time ago. It is not easy!
"Teacher, I can't get in the way when you old classmates get together. I'm leaving now. I'll go to school to play with you next time."

"You came to me just to play?"

Principal Zhang was laughed at by Zhang Yang.

After the premiere, it was different from the rave reviews that everyone thought. The media were all commenting, what happened to Lao Mouzi, did he whitewash a tyrant?

However, this did not affect the box office. It finally took in 2.5 million in one month, which shocked everyone.

Director Han has been addicted to blockbusters since then and cannot extricate himself. Poet Chen is very excited and wants to make blockbusters. Feng Pants is not willing to be lonely and wants to make blockbusters too.

When the news came that Foreign Hero had grossed more than US$1 million at the box office, the entire film industry was completely unable to sit still.

However, there is one media that provides a unique perspective, which is the Yangtze Evening News in Zhang Yang’s hometown.

It is reported that this is not the pinnacle of Chinese-language films abroad. The pinnacle of Chinese-language films abroad is the talented young director Zhang Yang's A Beautiful Mind. This film has a domestic global box office of US$2.5 million, of which US$1.6 million was reported in North America.

Zhang Yang was mentioned again, and the popularity remained high taking advantage of the hero's success.At the same time, it also becomes a tool for others to attack the hero.

Look at other people’s photos of Nobel Prize winners in economics.You just film a tyrant and you are still a great director, what about the old-timers?What if I teach the younger generation bad things again?

Originally, after the global box office spread, the voice of criticism became quieter, and Zhang Dapao's voice became louder again. There are many movies where you are all rubbish and know nothing about hammers. I didn't expect this reversal.

Zhang Yang saw clearly that this period is really not suitable for domestic filmmaking. Many commercial directors are filming under pressure. It is better to go abroad for literature and art. It seems that Chinese people recognize foreigners more.
