China Entertainment: I just want to give my child a home

Chapter 51 The first day’s box office: Liu’s mother is thinking about returning to China
  When "The Tuner" won the Silver Bear for Outstanding Artistic Contribution, it also meant that its chances of winning the next award were slim.

As expected, the remaining awards have nothing to do with "The Tuner".

On the other hand, Gu Changwei's "Peacock" won the Jury Prize, second only to the Golden Bear for Best Film;

Regardless of the domestic box office of this movie, at least this honor makes Director Gu win.

As soon as the awards ceremony ended and Chen Dong had just finished being interviewed by the media, film producers with a keen sense of smell made calls one after another.

After answering the calls from all the film producers, Chen Dong also calculated the re-quoted price for overseas rights on his notebook, which totaled US$11.26 million.

Yes, Director Gu won money, but he made more money.

Because Chen Dong firmly believed that "Peacock" would never sell for such a high price.

At the same time, news information transmitted from the Berlin International Film Festival was also posted on domestic portal websites.

"Congratulations to our country's director Gu Changwei for winning the Silver Bear, the Grand Jury Prize, at the Berlin International Film Festival!"

"Congratulations to our country's director Chen Dong for his "The Tuner" which won the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution at the Berlin International Film Festival!"

"..."

Berlin, in the hotel, when Chen Dong finished answering all the congratulatory calls from China, he looked at the time and saw that it was already five o'clock in the morning.

Okay, I can't sleep anymore. He has to make an appointment with the film producers from China Film Group later.

After a day of negotiations, all the overseas rights of "The Tuner" were sold out. Yes, he did not split the box office because he didn't want to make it too troublesome.

A total of 11.3 million US dollars was sold, which was similar to the total price reported to him by the film dealers on the phone last night.

It also proves that this transaction price is basically the upper limit of "The Tuner". Even if it continues to be delayed, it will not increase much, and it may even decrease.

On this day, "The Tuner" was released in China. This film has been well received by the media since its inception, and has been exposed continuously since then. In addition, the success of Chen Dong's first two films, a fairly luxurious cast, and the fact that he just won the Outstanding Distinction in Berlin The blessing of the Silver Bear Award for Artistic Contribution has caused many movie fans to buy tickets and go to the theater.

Because it is only the first day, the first-day box office has not been released yet, but there is a lot of discussion about "The Tuner" on the Internet.

"Twist, turn, turn again, I'm sorry, until I see the end, I don't know who is the good guy."

"Ahem, interrupt me, are there any good people in this movie?"

"After I watched it once, I found that I didn't understand some details, so I bought a ticket and watched it a second time. There were even more things I didn't understand. Family members, who understands?"

"I'll give you an idea and look at it again."

"What a great idea. I was buying tickets, but the ticket lady told me that the tickets were sold out, Lan Shou."

"Fan Binbin is so white."

"Brother upstairs, I want to give you a thumbs up."

"Trash movie, immoral."

"Young man, did you watch the movie upstairs? It's just dark, right? Come on, tell me, what's so immoral about the movie?"

"..."

Although there are bad reviews, there are more positive reviews.

This also means that the reputation of "The Tuner" has been established.

Now everyone is waiting for its first-day box office results to predict the film's total box office a month later.

In Berlin, Chen Dong just replenished his energy and picked up his cell phone. Hey boy, there were dozens of missed calls and several text messages.

Han Shanping gave him five. Chen Dong counted the time and guessed that it was the first day's domestic box office results of "The Tuner".

When he called back...

"Haha, Director Chen, congratulations. The box office of "The Tuner" on its first day was 12 million." "It's 12 million? Director Han, did I hear it correctly?"

"You heard that right, that's 12.27 million to be exact... When does Director Chen plan to return to China? With such good results, a road show must be arranged for the movie."

"Arrangement, haha, must be arranged, I will book a flight ticket right away. But I would also like to ask Director Han to help me contact the main creator... and prepare a road show plan."

"no problem."

Gu Changwei has also been negotiating with film producers over the past two days for the overseas rights of the film. Before "Peacock" won the award, the highest price the film producers were willing to pay was no more than two million US dollars. After winning a jury award, today it is $380. Sold for $100,000.

This award doubled the value of his films.

Gu Changwei was quite happy at first, but the film company told him that the overseas copyright of "The Tuner" directed by Chen Dong, who is from China with him, sold for a total of more than 10 million... US dollars, hiss~ so sour!

Back at the hotel, Gu Changwei found Zhang Jingchu browsing domestic news on the computer, so he went over to take a look.

I just happened to see the first-day box office data of "The Tuner" in China, which was 1227 million...the special code had no decimal point!

"Director Xiao Chen is really awesome. "The Tuner" not only exploded at the box office on the first day, but also received excellent word-of-mouth response online. If this trend continues, it will be another movie with a box office of over 100 million... Lao Gu, you What's wrong? Why does your face look so ugly? "

……

Domestically, Liu Xiaoli was also silently paying attention to the results of "The Tuner". She guessed that the film's first-day box office would not be bad, but when she saw it was 1227 million, she was stunned.

Seeing her daughter playing and playing with a group of cats and dogs in the flower garden like a grown-up child, she couldn't help but let out a complicated sigh.

Known daughter Moruomu.

In Liu Xiaoli's opinion, she, a silly girl, was probably in love behind her back, and the partner was most likely Chen Dong from her class...

She didn't know if she should stop it. In fact, she had wanted to show off her cards many times, and the reason why she held back at the critical moment was because of many considerations.

Chen Dong’s excellence is one;

Secondly, after she points it out, will her daughter definitely listen to her?

Ask yourself, didn't you rebel against your parents because of love at this age? If your daughter gets into trouble with her, how will they get along with each other in the future?

Thirdly, my daughter has become more lively...

……

Chen Dong naturally didn't know what Liu's mother was thinking. As soon as he got off the plane, he was caught by the media reporters who had been waiting outside the airport.

"Director Chen, congratulations on your return from the Berlin International Film Festival. Can I interview you for a few words?"

Chen Dong did not refuse the interview. After all, the reporter who interviewed him was not from the Kyoto Morning News who had disliked him.

"Fan Binbin and others returned to China yesterday, why is Director Chen one day later than them?"

"Talk about some business."

"The business that Director Chen is talking about is the overseas copyright of "The Tuner"." The reporter said with a certain tone: "Can Director Chen reveal how much the overseas copyright of "The Tuner" was sold?"

"Well, quite a bit."

"How much is no less? Director Chen, can you elaborate? This will also be good for the promotion of your movie."

"Ten million."

"Ten million dollars?"

Chen Dong stopped answering, just smiled, and then, under the cover of his assistant and bodyguard, walked to the car not far away to pick him up.

　Woohoo, I failed to advance, I’m disappointed...
