Chapter 710 Big sale(1/2)
(Thanks to the book friend "Reviewing the Past and Understanding the Heart 95" for the 5 recommendation votes.)
Tung Waner: "Let's not mention this for now. Let's get down to business. I would like to formally congratulate you, Director Xie, for the box office exceeding 500 million."
Xie Yu said seriously: "No, it's already 600 million!"
Dong Waner suddenly pushed her shoes under her body, kissed her and said, "So many!"
Xie Yu: "It depends on CCTV's forwarding. It has become a little out of the circle. Coupled with the recent increase in screenings, it has indeed risen faster."
Tung Waner said happily: "Will it be more than one billion? If the first movie I participate in can get more than one billion at the box office, then my future..."
Xie Yu: "This trend is only temporary. I also hope to exceed one billion. Unfortunately, no matter how much it is, it won't matter."
Tung Waner: "It doesn't matter? Oh, I almost forgot, you have signed an agreement and donated all the box office. Is it true or false?"
Xie Yu: "Can this be false?"
"The staff of the Poverty Alleviation and Development Office have been keeping an eye on the theater chain. The first batch of 50 million dividends has been taken away by the Poverty Alleviation and Development Office."
"Going against the government and adding political and social influence, don't worry. The theater chain is very disciplined in this regard."
Dong Waner: "Fifty million, that's the first batch. It's so much. I feel really sorry for you, senior."
Xie Yu smiled and said: "Then, why don't you make it up to me?"
Dong Waner rolled her eyes at Xie Yu: "Damn it!"
Then, she slipped down unhygienicly, and soon Dong Waner's head began to shake.
Xie Yu was in a happy mood. In the end, Dong Waner was tired and had a sore mouth, so she continued. She didn't use plastic this time, which made Xie Yu very proud.
After two days of being ridiculous together, Dong Waner immediately...
On the 21st day of the film's release, the box office reached over 800 million, but judging from its potential, it has already passed.
It is unlikely that it will exceed one billion. After all, although the plot is good and can arouse people's emotional resonance, in the final analysis it is just a low-budget movie with no special effects.
Fortunately, at this time, the boss, Wei Xu, took his film to participate in an influential film festival abroad and received many nominations.
After some publicity in the country, the decline was stabilized.
Finally, after winning the Best Original Drama Award and the Original Score Award at foreign film festivals, there were only a few other nominations, but they were pretty good.
Of course, the most important thing is that this film was bought by foreign film distributors at the film festival. With the adaptation rights, the film earned more than 20 million euros.
After the exchange, I still have more than 100 million domestic currency. The important thing is that this money is completely my own.
Xie Yu only signed the domestic box office and returned it to the Poverty Alleviation Office, but the ones sold abroad were still his own.
This caused the domestic box office to keep rising. Xie Yu, who was both happy and heartbroken, finally felt balanced.
It can be seen from this that Xie Yu is indeed not a good person. Affected by the environment, he has become an animal in the entertainment industry.
Affected by foreign awards, although the film did not receive a delay key, it still ran for 28 days.
The box office also exceeded 1 billion 13.7 million, which also made Xie Yu the 29th on the domestic film director list, the director whose film exceeded 1 billion.
Especially people in the industry heard that the cost was only two million and the return rate was more than 250 times, which made many entertainment companies go crazy.
I frantically contacted Xie Yu's studio and the studio's customer service staff. This time I finally got it, and Xie Yu opened a job for them.
Not only did he kindly remember the other person's contact information, but he also kindly told the other person that Xie Yu planned to take a year's rest.
There were hundreds of phone calls every day, and under the temptation of Xie Yu's "overtime pay", the studio's employees took turns to make guest appearances, which was considered a top-notch deal.
After Xie Yurang printed it out, he would just appreciate the admiration for him from the person on the other end of the phone.
Especially for the temperament of the famous female stars, Xie Yu admired it very much and hoped that he, a dwarf, would have the opportunity to further communicate with them.
On this day, I received another international call. Unexpectedly, it was not from the boss Wei Xu who was attending a film festival abroad.
And there was a call from a small country in Southeast Asia. After hesitating for a moment, Xie Yu became excited.
A voice from the other side sounded: "Congratulations, Director Xie, your box office is 1 billion, it's a huge hit!"
Listening to this sour and jealous language, Xie Yu said: "Jiang Yilin, I invited you to participate at that time. If you had participated, you would have been included in the one billion box office. You may not be able to win a Best Supporting Actress award.
"
Jiang Yilin: "Stop talking about it. If you talk about it, I will regret it to death. Hey, Xie Xiaozi, I have agreed that I will definitely participate in your next movie, no matter how big or small the role is."
Xie Yu: "I haven't seen you for a long time, where are you now?"
Jiang Yilin: "When I talk about this, I get angry. I feel that this well-known director is a bit sloppy and always lets us find our own feelings. It has been half a year and I am really embarrassed. I don't know what he is filming."
"There is another thing that is the most disgusting. I was embarrassed to tell you at first, but when I think about all your billions in box office donations, I tell you and you won't laugh at me anymore."
Xie Yu cooperated: "What's the matter? How could I laugh at you!"
Jiang Yilin: "When we first joined the crew, this great director seemed to have been prepared for it and directly collected our passports."
"I didn't think much about it at the time, but now it's people who have tricked me. It's been half a year since I had many endorsements in China, so I had to let them come here to shoot. Because of this, many of my endorsements and commercial performances have been canceled, which wastes time.
Said, now I still have to pay."
"What's even more depressing is that you also know that artists will definitely lose points if they don't show up for a long time."
"Not only that, the pie in the entertainment industry is so big and the update speed is so fast. I'm afraid that if I come back to China, I won't be able to find my place."
Xie Yu: "No, no. Although the director Chen Da you are following now is not good in character, he is full of artist temperament. His works often win awards internationally, although he is not very bold at the box office.
ensure."
"But for actors who are pursuing and ambitious, all the hard work is worth it. Your agency can get you a second female role, which shows that it has put its best efforts into it."
Jiang Yilin was not satisfied and said: "Xie Chaozi, why do you say that!"
Xie Yu: "Oh, does anyone say that?"
"Heroes think alike. Although you have often appeared in film and television works over the past few years here, Jiang Yilin, I found that your acting skills have not improved much."
"Not only that, but the process has gradually become more streamlined. It just so happens that Director Chen is also famous for training actors."
Jiang Yilin: "At this point, what else can we do? This is the only way."
"It's just that I'm a little unhappy. Every time you have a chance, I happen to have something to do here. Next time, can you tell me in advance so that I can set aside time for you."
Xie Yu: "Jiang Yilin, you also know that I am not a prolific director."
Jiang Yilin said unhappily: "Well..., if you don't want to, then I will... next time."
Xie Yu: "Yes, yes, if I have any clues next time, I will call you as soon as possible."
Only then did Jiang Yilin say with satisfaction: "Okay, that's it. The international long-distance phone charges are too expensive, so I'll hang up first."
After saying that, without waiting for Xie Yu's reaction, he hung up the phone.
Xie Yu said depressedly: "This Jiang Yilin doesn't dislike the high cost of international long-distance calls. She is just hurting herself by calling her!"
However, in terms of commitment, Xie Yu does feel a little guilty for Jiang Yilin. I feel sorry for her several sacrifices and will try her best to arrange it for her next time!
However, the news about the entertainment industry is that, in less than a week, even though the reporters could not see Xie Yu, they accepted Xie Yu’s red envelope, interviewed some of Xie Yu’s classmates, and took some
The photo of Jade also left.
In the entertainment tabloids, after the paparazzi reported that Xie Yu was portrayed as a physically disabled person with a strong mind, there was nothing more to say. They went to report on the big fight between the superstar so-and-so and his celebrity wife.
The trend of studio employees working overtime to answer calls has passed, and Xie Yu finally calmed down after giving him a big red envelope.
Xie Yu returned to school and just made up for some courses that she had missed recently.
Until one night in November, while Xie Yu was sleeping soundly, the personal phone at home started ringing like crazy.
After it rang several times, Xie Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore and had to get up to answer the phone.
As soon as I picked up the phone, an excited voice on the other side said: "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, I have called you so many times, why did you just answer the phone? You are going to piss me off to death!"
Xie Yu looked at the caller ID and thought of the familiar voice again, and also cursed: "Boss, you are yelling like a ghost, you have forgotten the time difference, are you too happy to miss your country abroad? It is broad daylight where you are, but it is now in China
It’s two and a half years in the morning and I’m still sleeping!”
The boss, Wei Xu, said: "Sleep, it doesn't matter what the jet lag is, you know? Your movie was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar!"
"That's an Oscar nomination for a foreign language film! Fourth child."
There was a pause.
Xie Yu said in confusion: "Boss, no way, why was he suddenly nominated for the Oscar for foreign language film? There was no warning!"
Boss Wei Xu: "I don't know the specifics. It should be run by Lionsgate Pictures. Let's not talk about it for now."
"I originally planned to return to China to recuperate, but now I can only change my route and go to the Lighthouse Country to promote and operate for you, and I will be boarding the plane soon, so I won't give you any more nonsense."
"I'm just calling you to get you ready. I guess you won't stop at home. That's an Oscar nomination!"
"In the past history, eight of our films have been nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and only one has won the award. I guess you have a good chance."
Xie Yu: "This, this is so unexpected, but no matter what, in terms of funds, boss, I will open all permissions for you."
Boss: "You're not talking nonsense. Forget it, I'll board the plane first. Let's talk again after I get off the plane and know some specifics."
Sure enough, about three days later, someone from Hollywood's foreign correspondents suddenly sent a congratulatory message to China, saying that "Children of the Mountain" directed by Xie Yuxie had been confirmed to be nominated for the foreign language film Oscar this year.
There have been no domestic films for three consecutive years. When it entered Hollywood, the domestic entertainment industry exploded.
