1979 Golden Age

"In 1962, Li Hanxiang's "Yang Guifei" participated in the competition and won an indoor color photography award. This was the first trophy won by a Chinese-language film in Cannes.

In 1964, the mainland's ink animation "Tadpole Looking for Mom" ​​took home an honorary award.

In 1975, Hu Jinquan's "The Heroine" won another technical award.

The above are all the achievements of Chinese-language films in Cannes. Now, the fourth trophy has appeared. "Orphan" won the FIPRESCI Award, which represents the highest recognition of this film from European film critics..."

Those who know how to do it are just bragging, and those who don’t know how to do it just don’t realize how serious they are. In fact, the above three awards are also small awards. The so-called technical award is awarded to Fu Huadao.

Just get the prize, the key is the following data: "The price of all copyrights for "Tai Chi 2" in regions other than Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia is US$3 million, and the global copyright of "Orphan's Revenge" is US$7 million.

This also sets the best record for Chinese-language films in overseas markets! "

boom!

This operation is no less than Chen Qi dropping a little boy into Hong Kong.

The one with the highest net worth at present is undoubtedly Cheng Long, and the one with the most appeal overseas is also Cheng Long. His copyright in Japan can be sold for more than 2 million US dollars, and later the highest price was over 5 million.

But everyone can understand that action movies can be sold at high prices.

The most amazing thing about "Orphan" is that no one can understand it: it is a horror thriller. Why are Americans willing to spend so much money to buy it? ? ?

By the way: The matter of overseas copyright requires a detailed analysis of the specific situation. Most Chinese-language films cannot be sold at a high price, but a few can really compete. For example, Li Lien-lien's bad movie "The Legend of White Snake" can sell for 20 million. Overseas rights in U.S. dollars.

There is also "Hero", which looks like an all-star cast, but does not have Li Lien, and the budget is only 3 million US dollars. With Li Lien, investors are willing to pay 30 million because it can sell at a higher price.

What’s funny is that Chow Yun-fat can’t afford to pay overseas, but he still has to maintain the salary of a “Hollywood star”.

"Chinese-language movies should not be stuck in one place, there are stars and a sea outside!"

"Qiu Shuzhen stunned Cannes, and the teenage star is rising!"

"Tsu Hark is favored by American film producers and may be invited to film in Hollywood!"

""Tai Chi 2" and "Orphan's Revenge" are scheduled to be released in the summer, and Hong Kong audiences will have a feast for their eyes!"

The whole Hong Kong knew that Chen Qi and the others were back, but they had not yet made an official appearance. The leftist media took the lead in getting excited and caught Tsui Hark praising "Orphan".

Of course, in the eyes of many people, this is not flattery, strength is king.

The neutral faction, a few words that are neither yin nor yang.

The most embarrassing thing is the right-wing media. Yesterday they were still attacking the left and ridiculing Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng. However, they were slapped in the face the next day and could only talk harshly and kept emphasizing:

"Fake and bluff!"

"It is absolutely impossible to pay such a high price. Don't bring the exaggerated style of the Mainland's Great Leap Forward to Hong Kong!"

…………

Jiahe.

Zou Wenhuai thought about it over and over again, but couldn't understand it.

"Guanchang, do you think it's true or false?"

"They shouldn't lie about this kind of thing, otherwise they will be embarrassed. I'm also curious about what story "Orphan" tells that can make Americans spend a lot of money?" He Guanchang said.

"A film costs 7 million US dollars. Using the current exchange rate, it is more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars, more than 40 million..."

Zou Wenhuai sighed and said: "And this film hasn't been released yet. It will have a box office once it is released. With this momentum, many people will be interested in watching it. Guanchang, you and I have been immersed in the film industry for so many years, have we ever seen this before?" Such a weird thing?"

"..."

He Guanchang shook his head and said: "No matter what, we don't want to be disrupted and make our own films."

"Go and talk to Aaron. I'm afraid this kid has other thoughts."

"good!"

…

Cheng Long was indeed confused.

He even called Chen Qi immediately and went directly to the Great Wall Dormitory: "I only admired you half way at first, but now it's better, you have great ability, I admire you now!

Hey, can you tell me how much "Orphan" cost? "

"More than 2 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"Wow, you made a net profit of 40 million?!"

Cheng Long almost cursed and said hurriedly: "You, you... I mean, why are Americans willing to pay?"

"Watch the news in a few days. I will speak publicly. Now I have to rest!"

Toot toot!

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Long couldn't calm down and started to think a little: It looks like he can really take me to Hollywood!

…

Chungking Tower.

Zhong Chuhong was wearing slippers and a towel around her neck. She had obviously just taken a shower and was jumping around the house. She shook her wet hair and splashed water droplets on her brother.

"Sister, why are you so happy?"

"This man is so amazing! He is really amazing. I can't even think about it, and I don't know how he did it!"

"Are you the one who asked you to film the movie?"

"yes!"

"What does it have to do with you if someone is awesome? You've finished filming." The younger brother ruthlessly exposed the reality.

"I, I..."

Zhong Chuhong became angry and slapped him: "Have you finished your homework? Go do your homework!"

Her brother ran away angrily, and her excitement subsided. She sat on her little bed and suddenly sighed: "Yeah, what does it have to do with me?"

…………

Hong Kong colleagues, bosses of large and small companies, big stars, and big directors all saw these reports.

Some people were fine, but some people suddenly felt that life was boring: I worked so hard to make a movie, and I had to thank God for making a million, while others went out and brought back US dollars directly.

Hong Kong is a broken place that worships the strong, money is the most important, and loves the myth of getting rich overnight.

Chen Qi is a bit like this now.

However, he didn't have time to care about it for the time being. After arriving in Hong Kong, he hurriedly took Xu Ke back to the Great Wall dormitory.

Xu Ke had not yet become a scumbag. He had feelings for Shi Nansheng, and knocked on the door: "Nansheng, I'm back! How are you here? Do you know that during those days, I, I..."

Hmm?

Shi Nansheng, who was not wearing any makeup and was wearing pajamas, was playing mahjong. When she looked up, Shi Hui next to her urged her, "It's your turn, hurry up!"

"Nine bamboo!"

"It's a mess!"

Shi Hui pushed the cards aside and laughed, "You are lucky this time, no need to pay, let's go, we'll play again another day!"

The two mahjong players she had found stood up and said goodbye. Shi Hui pulled Shi Nansheng over and said, "Fortunately, you have fulfilled your mission. It's all good, not a hair is missing, and you won 200 yuan from me!"

"..."

Tsui Hark's emotions were suddenly disrupted, and he only said, "Thank you, thank you!"

"I said it was okay, he was so worried about you, he cried secretly in the middle of the night and refused to admit it!" Chen Qi said.

"I don't believe he cried for me!"

Shi Nansheng said, but he was very happy. The two of them had experienced a storm.

"Then you guys can chat slowly, we're going out first, see you at dinner!"

Shi Hui and Chen Qi left.

The two of them naturally talked about their true feelings. After a long while, Shi Nansheng asked: "I know everything about you in France. Great, what are your plans now that you are back?"

"What else can I do now that things have turned out like this? And I think it's great to join, what about you?"

"I think it's great here too. I've never seen a woman like Sister Hui. Wow, I want to recognize her as my sister."

"Then we..."

"Yeah!"

Shi Nansheng nodded and laughed: "We've joined the Communist Party!"

(After the fight, no more...)
