The Crown Prince of Huayu!

Chapter 177 Everyone here is rubbish

Huayi General Manager's Office.

"Then I'll go to Venice first."

"Go."

After sending his men away, Wang Zhonglei picked up his cell phone again.

Although Huayi is not very concerned about awards, especially foreign awards.

Of course, even if they want to be interested, they have to see if they have the strength.

However, since it was Han Jiadong's film that was nominated, even if they knew they couldn't win the award, they had to at least act like they were working hard to help Han Jiadong win.

Didn’t you get an unexpected surprise last time at the Berlin Film Festival?

It is also the most important award - the Golden Bear Award.

"Okay, then I'll have someone study it."

Han Jiadong immediately understood what Wang Zhonglei meant.

Han Jiadong and Liu Yifei both have to get a share.

But after switching to Han Jiadong, the cost on film alone reached more than 10 million.

There is not enough time. If it is released during the film festival, it will be too rushed.

So Han Jiadong didn't embarrass him.

Although it is only a small-cost film...

The subsequent publicity must be based on top quality.

No, now it has to be a mid-budget movie.

That time was the prince's debut novel.

When we first prepared for Ning Hao to direct, we really expected the cost to be only 10,000 to 10,000 yuan.

"Hey, Xiaodong, it's less than half a month until the Venice Film Festival starts. Do you want to watch the movie to coincide with the film festival, or find another suitable time?"

Of course, more importantly, that time was not good.

Now I have to go to the Venice Film Festival again, which costs a lot of money.

It was obviously not a good choice to release it at that time.

"You just have to figure it out."

Now that Han Jiadong has become a major international director whose name can be compared with people like Spielberg and Cameron, the probability of winning an award, in Wang Zhonglei's opinion, should be higher than last time, right?
Thinking about it, he dialed Han Jiadong's phone number.

After receiving a satisfactory reply, Wang Zhonglei happily chatted a few more words about the film festival and ended the call.

There will be no special holidays in the next month.

Although the Olympic Games are over by then, the summer vacation is also coming to an end.

In the end, the total cost was estimated to be 40 to 50 million.

If there is no harvest at the Venice Film Festival this time and the film does not sell for a good price, the bottom line box office will have to be more than 200 million if you want to make money back.

Of course, Wang Zhonglei is not worried at all about Han Jiadong's box office appeal.

But if you can sell more, who cares about money?

After calling someone from the marketing department to do some research, he quickly scheduled the film's release date for the Lunar New Year period.

Zhang Yimou is busy with the Olympics and has no time to make movies.

Kaige's new movie has just begun preparations.

Ning Hao's movie hasn't been released yet.

Xiaogang's new movie just started shooting this month.

Although Xiaogang said that it can be done quickly, there is a problem whether it can catch up with the Lunar New Year movie. Even if it can catch up, compared with Han Jiadong, Xiaogang's movie will have to give way.

The rest is nothing to care about.

In Hong Kong and Taiwan, there are films such as Xu Ke's "Women Are Not Bad", Wilson Yip's "Ip Man", Zhuang Wenqiang's "The Search", and Li Zhongzhi's "Spike", and the casts are all good.

But to be honest, Wang Zhonglei really didn't take them seriously. If the film hadn't been shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival, which made him realize that the commercial nature of the film might not be so strong, he would probably only use one word to describe them: chickens and dogs!

the other side.

Not long after Han Jiadong hung up the phone, he received another call from Liu Yifei.

"Wow! Did you get that message?"

As soon as the call was connected, Liu Yifei's excited voice came from inside.

Han Jiadong couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

Before they met, his impression of Liu Yifei had always been cold or even aloof due to the influence of people around him, because when people around him described her, they would always use one sentence: a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world.

After getting acquainted but not so familiar with her, Liu Yifei gave him the impression of being elegant, restrained, sensible and even precocious.

Every time we meet, we talk very little. Most of the time, we just listen quietly.

Now, Han Jiadong discovered that isn't this a little girl who hasn't grown up yet?

A little girl's curiosity, a little girl's clinginess, a little girl's chirping...she has it all!

For example, now, after knowing that the film was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival, and she was even nominated for the Venice Best Actress Award, she seemed particularly excited. She chatted non-stop with Han Jiadong on the phone, sharing her joy.

This is also understandable.

After all, before her, not to mention international film festivals like Venice, even domestic awards such as the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse, she had no chance at all.

She has never been nominated for awards such as the First Class College Student Film Festival and the Huabiao Award.

After talking for a long time, she realized that she was talking, and Han Jiadong didn't say much. Liu Yifei stopped in time and asked a little embarrassedly: "Do you think I'm annoying?"

"will not."

"Really?"

"real."

Although the answer was very brief, thinking of Han Jiadong's character and being able to patiently answer him twice, Liu Yifei felt relieved and regained her liveliness. She chatted with Han Jiadong about the arrangements after arriving in Venice. She expected that her excitement could be heard over the phone. Feel it clearly.

at the same time.

Seeing the familiar ranking of third in the Golden Eagle Goddess voting, Yang Mi was helpless.

The last time the Golden Eagle Goddess voted, she stayed in the third position for a long time.

It was not until the last two days that he surpassed Tang Yan and took second place.

This time, after all, the biggest competitor could no longer participate according to the rules, but he had nothing to show for it.

Because the teacher said that her acting style was a bit fixed and she had to correct it while she was still young, Yang Mi spent most of her time in school.

In the past two years, except for "Xiu Chun Dao 2", which she could not refuse no matter what, she only took advantage of the summer vacation to film one "Shang Study" and the recently completed "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".

Although "Xiu Chun Knife 2" has become her most successful masterpiece, the movie cannot be used as an entry.

And the ratings of "Shang Shufang" are only a few points, not to mention compared with Li Xiaolu and Tang Yan in the front, or even compared with Shu Chang and Qin Lan who are behind, there is no advantage at all.

It can be said that it is possible to achieve this ranking mainly by replaying "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" over and over again.

In comparison, Li Xiaolu has four works: "Unforgettable Love", "Struggle", "Sparrow Falls in Love with Phoenix", and "The First Crisis".

Among them, "Struggle" even achieved a high ratings of 7.76.

Tang Yan is even more of a workaholic and has filmed more than ten films in two years!

Two of them are also written by Han Jiadong.

Although it is not as popular as "My Love from the Star" in China, it is even more popular abroad.

One of them has been translated into more than 70 languages ​​and broadcast in more than 180 countries.

As a result, Tang Yan's popularity abroad has caught up with her predecessors such as Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi, and even has the potential to surpass her.

"Will that guy still give me his work?"

Yang Mi shook her head unoptimistically, closed the Golden Eagle Goddess voting page, and opened her own post bar that she hadn't been to in a long time.
