Movie tycoon

Chapter 353 Ice~Fire Double Sky (Third)
Having said that, although Chen Xiaotang's popularity skyrocketed in the box office fiasco of his first film directed by him, people can see the image of a film newcomer who is indomitable, persevering, and courageous in pursuing artistic freedom.But in terms of actual benefits, he fell into a huge swamp of investment losses.

Of course, apart from Chen Xiaotang, the investor, the most worried about the box office of the film "The End of the World" is probably the other party that invested in this film - Hong Kong East Star Club.

As the big boss of Dongxing Club, Jaws has been very annoying and depressed recently. To use specific physiological words to describe it, it would be that his menstruation is very irregular.

Chen Xiaotang was originally asked to invest in movies with the club's fund, but he was still complacent. After all, he made a full 50 yuan last time, but this time he invested 100 million yuan, so no matter what, he could earn 100 million yuan back.

But, now, the box office... The poor great white shark is speechless.

100 million ah, you can still hear the sound of water when you hit the water, but now, there is not even a fart!
Could it be that I really believed in the wrong person? !
The great white shark is blaming himself——
At the same time, other members of the community were even more slobbering, saying that Great White Shark’s poor management of the fund led to losses. Don’t let him masturbate the finances of the community. ---
There is a problem here in Dongxing, and people from other associations are very happy. What does it mean to read a joke? This is it!

Pu you Eminem!I really thought you could make a fortune following that little actor!

Now you know, what is called --- stealing chickens can't make money!

.................. ..
In a well-known food stall in Tsim Sha Tsui, some people are eating supper.A car drove over, and a few people got off, but the leader was He Jiaju, who had recently become popular with a gangster movie.This gentleman originally ran a newspaper, but he liked to gamble, so he lost 3000 million yuan all of a sudden, so he joined the showbiz because of his vicious appearance, so he started playing villains and big villains in plays.

Recently, he was in high spirits, and he made a lot of money from the gangster movies he shot, so he brought a few young actors he knew to have dinner here.Maybe it was because they were too involved in the drama, as soon as this group of people entered the door, they yelled loudly, spit indiscriminately, and sat down to eat braggingly.

Maybe because he drank too much, He Jiaju and his group started talking about the most ridiculous thing in the entertainment industry recently. Dongxing Club became a winner, and was cheated by the popular movie star Chen Xiaotang for a hundred yuan to invest in a bad show. It is now being ridiculed.

There is a saying that the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.

The people at the table next to them stood up and asked them to stop talking nonsense and chew their tongues.

Then He Jiaju played the role of a gangster~ The social boss is addicted, and he is really a bit confused. In the past, without saying a word, a bottle was knocked on the head of a bald man on the other side.

The bald man took a hit, but his expression remained unchanged. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his head, smiled nervously, and nodded to the person next to him, who started to make a phone call.

He Jiaju and the others really treated themselves as if they were on the street, they didn't leave, they continued to eat and drink.

The bald man walked all the way to the other tables and said, "Everyone, you should go! It's not good to hurt everyone!"

Those who ate thought he was bragging, and said something to save face, so they didn't care, but most of them had almost finished eating, so they stood up and walked out.

As soon as I got out of the gate of the big stall, I saw no less than 100 cars coming from all directions, including vans, sports cars, and buses. More than [-] people got off. Control it, don't let the phone call, then show the guy, the blue iron rod, rush in and start beating, beat He Jiaju and his group, rolling all over the ground, not even daring to return the hand, I think it is really possible to fight back kill them.

At this moment, I saw the bald man stepping on He Jiaju's head, and said: "I am a gentleman now, and I will beat you to death myself before I put it in front of you - fuck your lungs! Don't chew your tongue indiscriminately!" , just don’t listen! What a damned fuck!”

Before leaving, "Remember, if you want revenge, go to Dongxing to find me, my name is --- Crow!"

Eastern Star Crow? !
The rumored "Dragon Claw Hand"?
He and Chen Xiaotang are buddies brothers' gangster ~ social boss? !
Fainted, how could I meet such a plague god!

Immediately, He Jiaju and the others wanted to cry but had no tears.

Pick, who made me like talking too much.

...............

This "Eastern Star Club Beating Incident", through the big mouths of He Jiaju and others, quickly spread in the entertainment circle again.

Then many people came forward to criticize the film "The End of the World" - "incurable", "bad movie of bad movies", "bad movie that is as despicable as reality and movies" and so on...
It can be said that all the public opinion pushed the first film directed by Chen Xiaotang to the top of the wave of "super bad" in an instant.It means that this drama is completely finished.

at the same time.

Europe, Spain.

Since the premiere of "The Endless Way", it has gained unexpected reputation.In particular, the countess personally attended the premiere scene, and the countess also invited many friends from Hollywood to watch the show together, which made the premiere of the show very popular and attracted the love of many audiences in Spain.

In fact, it was definitely a wise move for Chen Xiaotang to choose the premiere of this film in Spain.

Spanish culture is diverse, and the people are very curious about various cultures, especially for this kind of avant-garde doomsday culture. They have been baptized in the Bible for a long time, and they are also obsessed with doomsday judgment and so on. Therefore, this drama has a lot of potential. audience.

In addition, Countess Alice's strong recommendation is also indispensable, especially for Spain, a European country that still retains royal family traditions, nobles are equivalent to the most dazzling stars, like Countess Alice, who is the most popular in Spain. A popular "noble star".Although her words and deeds are still not comparable to Queen Elizabeth of England, they have also attracted many people who like and love her. They went further into the movie and watched the movie "The End of the World" filmed in Hong Kong.

In the end, as the director, Chen Xiaotang thought a lot before the premiere of this film.

The first is the music in the film. If we want to please young Western audiences, the soundtrack might as well be westernized.For this reason, Chen Xiaotang created "Grimm's Fairy Tales" in Spanish. The melodious and melodious piece, coupled with the fairy-tale-like narrative style, made many Spanish audiences feel super "friendly".

And in terms of clothing styling.The theme of the doomsday era is vagrancy, and the sets of homeless clothes that Fatty Wang Jing pulled out of the trash can were used to the fullest, allowing many Spaniards to feel the true meaning of street vagabond culture.

In terms of scenery, the film also chose a Spanish farm polluted by chemical plants as the main shoot.On the one hand, the farm pollution incident has attracted the attention of many Spanish media, and on the other hand, it has also made this drama more visible to the Spanish people.It was a great publicity.

In short, this film caters to the tastes of Spanish audiences, making them feel familiar and comfortable. In addition, the aesthetic category of literary and artistic films is not something that cultural people can't understand, which makes Spanish audiences flock to it——
In a word: I am educated, so I watch "The End of the World"!
Hence the box office hit.

Of course, there is also a praise for Chen Xiaotang, a new director.As an art film category, not every director can do it if he wants to package entertainment and art and integrate Eastern and Western cultures.

But this time, Chen Xiaotang achieved this perfectly by relying on his keen foresight and his youthful but remarkable directing ability.

Undoubtedly, after its release in Spain, Chen Xiaotang's new work has achieved great success in both box office and word of mouth.An absolutely enviable success.

With the huge box office revenue in Madrid, Spain, "The End of the World" also set off a storm of money in other cities in Spain, and the box office everywhere was soaring, which made the Spanish entertainment industry shout: "God of shit! This is Disguised economic plunder! Hong Kong people, too ruthless!"

Leveraging this momentum, the low-cost literary film "The End of the World" was introduced by Countess Alice's several Hollywood friends, and even rushed out of Spain, landed in the North American market, and attracted the attention of the Hollywood film industry——
As the saying goes, gold cups and silver cups are not as good as people's reputation.This sentence is as common in the Hollywood film market.

With the passage of time, the North American box office of "The End of the World" has also experienced a gratifying "blowout". In the second week, the box office revenue has reached 100 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 700 million Hong Kong dollars in revenue!Although this is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for many Hollywood movies, it is already a rare "victory" for this movie with a total investment of only 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

"It's still the amazing Chen, he created a miracle again, and it's in the United States!"

"This is the most artistic doomsday movie I've ever seen, and it was filmed by a Hong Kong native!"

"I think, I'm in love with Hong Kong movies!"

"Hong Kong~Hong Kong film industry will give birth to another literary master in the future!"

"Oh, how do I describe the director who directed this movie—a ghost!"

.........

With the comments fueling the flames, the Hollywood Oscar judging panel had to face up to this literary film directed by Hong Kong people...

So they sent an invitation to Spain—inviting the film "The End of the World" to represent the Spanish film in this year's Oscar selection! ! !
With a bang, the whole world was in chaos.
