No one knew that the director and actors were present, and the audience's applause was completely spontaneous. The applause gradually gathered into a thunderous sound, surrounding the entire theater. In the box, Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia were tightly next to each other,
Close your eyes and quietly experience this feeling.
We all know that it is the feeling of victory. When you are involved in it, you can completely feel and understand this feeling. For Xiao Ran, this is a different feeling from being a director.
If directing is a kind of beauty of manipulation, then what actors get now is a sense of satisfaction, perhaps it is better to call it a more pure happiness. I am happy that my work has been recognized by others, and I am as happy as after being pregnant for ten months.
My son is praised by everyone for being smart, which is an indirect feeling that is not particularly obvious, but makes people excited.
The next day, Li Cheuk-tao and other film critics published their own articles in newspaper columns, as if the film critics had discussed it beforehand, and they all unanimously praised the film as one of the best romance films in Hong Kong so far.
Among them, Lin Chaorong's comments are the most insightful. He mentioned in the article that they are not only smooth, but also comparable to Hollywood in terms of special effects. But none of this is the point. The point is that the performances of Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia are absolutely perfect.
Especially in the last scene, the cooperation between the two was absolutely impeccable. Not only was the tacit understanding of the cooperation terrifying, he even claimed that both Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia were 50% sure of winning the next Academy Awards. Just based on that
The last scene is enough.
Xiao Ran is very proud of this. There are three details of the performance that he admires most, which he thinks are absolutely impeccable. One is Fa Ge's crazy gambling performance in "God of Gamblers", all aspects are exquisite.
Extremely.
The second is the scene where Tony Leung is almost shot to death by Fa Ge in "The Dirty Detective". This shot is very clear and very delicate, showing his expression from horror to despair to surviving the disaster, and finally to a look of resentment.
Completely expressed, Xiao Ran even believed that this shot could be described as a classic example of performance.
The third is the scene in "Lord of Destruction" where Xing Zai was pulled by his hair and humiliated in front of Chung Liti. Xing Zai's performance at that time was extremely plain, and the feeling of helplessness and humiliation completely changed the atmosphere through his eyes.
Rendered to the extreme.
He always thought that with these three delicate performances of these three actors, he should definitely win an Oscar. But now that he has received similar evaluations, this is equivalent to promoting him to a recognized actor like Fa Ge and others.
In terms of status, this made him extremely happy.
However, Li Zhuotao, who knows Xiao Ran relatively well, mentioned in the film review that the scene in the middle and the end of the film are not very similar to Chen Kexin's approach, but more similar to a certain shot used by Xiao Ran in "The Spy" and "The Secret Flower".
The processing techniques are very similar, but there is an additional inspiration.
Lee Cheuk-tao believes that the performances of the leading actors are indeed very important, but he believes that the key to the success of the film lies in the extremely risky and bizarre handling of the two plots. And such abnormal and extreme techniques are very rare in Hong Kong.
Except for Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran had to admire Li Zhuotao, who could even see this. But Li Zhuotao saw more than this. In the whole film, the male and female protagonists could not even hold hands. This kind of metaphor processing technique was even more impressive.
Respected.
Xiao Ran felt ashamed about this. In fact, this technique had nothing to do with him, but Zhang Wanting's suggestion. Zhang Wanting's "Autumn Fairy Tale" is like this. Fa Ge and Hong Gu never held hands in the whole film.
The emotions are described in a very profound way, which is ten times better than many movies where love comes and goes at every turn.
Xiao Ran didn't expect that it was precisely because of this that the film was eventually rated A-level, which means it can be targeted at audiences of any age. What needs to be understood is that very few films are rated A-level every year, and the content and pictures must be
You have to be very pure to get this rating.
In this way, the box office effect is particularly different. Due to the extremely consistent word-of-mouth and various indirect publicity by Friends of the Phantom, the premiere box office was 4.5 million, and it reached 20 million in ten days. It was 40 million in one month.
, it can be said that the box office is continuous and the stamina is extremely long. It was released for a full 100 days, breaking through the 60 million mark, and finally stopped at 72 million. It set a new box office record and release time in Hong Kong with an irresistible trend.
.
Xiao Ran was stunned by this number, which was regarded as an unsurpassable number. Currently, there are about five million people in Hong Kong, which means that each local person has watched this movie more than once on average. It is definitely an extremely high number.
The terrifying figures are probably only possible to be beaten by "Titanic".
If the ticket prices were in 2005, this means that the box office of this movie is more than 300 million. I am afraid that based on the actual number of viewers, "Titanic" will definitely not be as good. Regarding this box office figure, Xiao Ran is very
It's a headache. If this happens, I'm afraid there's no hope of breaking the record in the future.
Regarding this box office figure, not to mention the media, even the industry was shocked. Don't forget that at present, 20 million is a very good number. And "The Love of Ghosts" actually got 7,200
Wan, this is simply a miracle.
In fact, although Xiao Ran listed this film as one of the highlights of the year's release, he and the planning department only expected the box office of this film to be only 40 million, and the box office in Asia was even more exaggerated.
The Miracle (Marketing Department) company, which experienced the marketing war for "The Spy" last year, was not in a hurry this time, but marketed the film in an orderly manner within ten days. In Japan, it was easier because of the share-sharing plan.
many.
For a time, "The End of the World" beat the record set by "The Spy" across the board. The box office in South Korea and Japan reached more than 200 million and more than 600 million respectively. The box office in Taiwan also broke the box office of "God of Gamblers".
, becoming the first film to exceed 150 million.
This film was also released in the mainland, although for some reasons, Miracle only promoted it a little within the allowed range. However, according to later statistics, the box office in the mainland reached at least 300 million.
Excluding the mainland, the total box office in Southeast Asia created by "The Last Days" is close to 1.3 billion, far exceeding the record of "The Spy", and its screening time has set the longest record in almost all places. Xiao Ran believes that in this way,
The grand occasion is probably something that only "Titanic" can create.
In Europe, this English-dubbed film successfully took the runner-up spot at the European box office for the year, with a box office of HK$650 million. The champion was "Raiders of the Lost Ark" with a box office of HK$800 million.
When the film was being released in most parts of the world, several major Hollywood companies extended an olive branch to Phantom, guaranteeing that it would be released in mainstream theaters, and finally negotiated a price of 80 million Hong Kong dollars.
In fact, the box office of this film in Hollywood is not very high, with only more than 90 million US dollars, which just happens to fall behind "Driving Miss Daisy" and "Lovely Family". I have to admit that this is already a Hong Kong film.
The world's largest success.
In the end, the global box office of "The End of the World" reached 350 million US dollars, which is 2.8 billion Hong Kong dollars. With this figure, it successfully entered the fourth place in the top ten global box office movies of the year. Previous
The other two are "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Batman," both of which cost more than $400 million.
It is no exaggeration to say that this film broke countless local records and records in Southeast Asia, and even became the highest-grossing film overseas. It broke the record and became the first Chinese-language film in history to be among the top ten box office in the world.
After the success of this film, Phantom Company issued more than 10 million in rewards. Even Chen Kexin, who was originally paid only 100,000, received millions in rewards. Everyone was smiling and vowed to make the film a good one.
At the same time, Chen Kexin is undoubtedly much more excited than others.
Chen Kexin definitely gained both fame and fortune this time, not to mention profit. His status as the first director other than Xiao Ran to be eligible for a share of the profits makes him one of the top directors in Hong Kong. With this film
Due to the unexpected popularity of the film, his name has gradually become known around the world. Moreover, he has become an instant hit.
Even Hollywood film companies are beckoning to him. Unfortunately, he has no plans to go to Hollywood. As one of the people who have more contact with Xiao Ran at Phantom, he is relatively aware of Xiao Ran's ambitions. He is very eager to achieve such a great cause.
, impacting Hollywood with his own works. Moreover, he did not forget that it was Xiao Ran who promoted him, and it was Xiao Ran's two key opinions that led to a qualitative improvement in this film.
As for Xiao Lin, he couldn't be more popular, but no one would be stupid enough to poach them. In the outside world, Xiao Ran's net worth soared to three million at once, and Lin Qingxia's was also as high as three hundred.
Five hundred thousand. Unfortunately, other film companies were not as quick as Phantom in this regard. When Lin Qingxia starred in the next film, her net worth was already as high as four million, and she was the only actress who could compete with Fa Ge.
.
Of course, all this happened later. Xiao Ran didn't care how much he was worth as a leading actor in the industry, so he raised Lin Qingxia's price just to remind Tian Luo and Debao that actresses were equally important.
At the end of July, Wei Jiahui's "Intolerance" came out. This time it was not exactly the same team as before. Except for Wen Zhaolun still playing the bad and chilling villain in the film, most of the other team members were different. This time
As soon as the series came out, it immediately beat TVB's dramas, with ratings reaching 32 points.
Based on his own impressions, Xiao Ran gave Zhu Guangli the list of famous drama producers he could remember and asked him to recruit those people to ATV. Needless to say, the result was that ATV's lineup was getting stronger day by day, and Xiao Ran was happy and relaxed.
, leaving the burden of confronting Wireless to Zhu Guangli.
At the same time, Xiao Ran was enjoying the final of the Miss Hong Kong election held by Wireless. Li Jiaxin's performance and appearance completely captured the hearts of every judge, and she successfully won the Miss Hong Kong championship.
In August, the number of theaters in which "The Last Love" was released was significantly reduced, and "New Dragon Inn" once again impacted every audience's attention. The local box office was 32 million, and the Southeast Asian box office was 370 million.
, the European box office is only 40 million.
And this date is gradually approaching the wedding date of Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia. This wedding is actually not luxurious. Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia both think it is not necessary, but considering the number of guests coming, it turns out to be a luxurious wedding.
At the same time, just like a hurricane landing, karaoke quickly became popular in high-consumption areas such as Japan and Taiwan. Xiao Ran counted his income every day, while calculating how much it would cost to acquire several companies, while laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
.
Of course, Xiao Ran is not obsessed with money, he is happy with the success of karaoke. Because he has applied for patents in major countries and regions around the world, anyone who wants to produce this thing has to pay money to the power. Now Xiao Ran has experienced the kind of success that
The feeling of being dominated by others.
The most important thing is that he has been waiting for the success of karaoke. Only this can raise enough funds for him to achieve his acquisition wish. Although Phantom has repaid some loans, it is still in debt of more than 2 billion. It can
Cash acquisition is best. Otherwise, why bother getting a loan or financing.
