Entertainment From Divorce

After the official website of the International Cultural Center was updated, major entertainment media rushed to report on it.

""Morning News": "The Godfather" has a cumulative box office of US$6.959 billion in two months of release."

""Beijing Entertainment": "The Godfather" has maintained extremely high popularity since its release. During the period, the cumulative box office exceeded US$6.9 billion, becoming the second highest-grossing movie in global film history."

"Movie News: Congratulations on the conclusion of "The Godfather". The cumulative box office performance is US$6.959 billion! It has become the highest-grossing Chinese-language film and ranks second in global film history."

"Southern Entertainment": "The Godfather" officially ended its screening in the early hours of this morning. It caused huge discussions around the world during its release. It was a rare grand occasion in the history of the film. Although "The Godfather" achieved good box office results in the early stages of its release , but the growth rate slowed down in the later period, resulting in a huge gap in the box office of the two movies."

Discussions on this matter on major social platforms have become even more heated and have become a hot topic.

"My knowledge of box office is constantly being refreshed by Mr. Tan Yue. This time, it actually reached 6.9 billion US dollars. It's amazing!"

"As expected of my idol, Teacher Tan Yue is awesome!"

“It’s unimaginable that the final box office of ‘The Godfather’ was as high as US$6.959 billion.”

"Good guy, with the second highest box office performance in film history, Mr. Tan Yue can be considered a god in the history of film development."

"It's still a pity! There is only a slight gap between the box office of "The Godfather" and "Night in the City". If "The Godfather" can become the number one box office, whether it is domestic or foreign, Mr. Tan Yue's status in the director circle will be unparalleled. People can be shaken, of course, even though he is ranked second, Teacher Tan Yue is famous all over the world."

"Congratulations on "The Godfather"! Congratulations to Teacher Tan Yue!"

“The light of domestic movies!!”

"'The Godfather' is the most awesome movie I have ever seen, and it should have such box office results."

“Are domestic films really going to open the door to the global film market?”

Bright Entertainment Company.

While the outside world was discussing the final box office results of "The Godfather", Ma Guoliang was watching clips of previous performances in front of the computer in his office.

He did not get carried away because of the good results achieved by this movie. He always kept his task as an actor in mind - to perform well.

"The Truman Show" and "Forrest Gump", plus this time "The Godfather", grossed US$6.959 billion, the second highest box office record in global film history, making Ma Guoliang's international reputation skyrocketing Ascend to an unprecedented height, surpassing many international stars.

"This place can still be improved." Ma Guoliang muttered to himself, then picked up a pen and wrote down the areas that he thought could be improved.

‘Dong dong dong’

There was a knock on the door, and the manager opened the door and came in. When he closed the door, he turned to look outside.

Seeing the agent's slightly excited expression, Ma Guoliang asked doubtfully: "What happened? Why are you so happy?"

Although there was no one in the office, the agent came to Ma Guoliang and whispered: "Teacher Ma, I heard a big piece of gossip. Do you want to hear it?"

"Tell me, there are only two of us in the office, and we still speak so quietly."

"I'm so excited." The agent spoke a little louder, but still in a low voice: "I just heard some gossip that the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival will invite you to participate in the film festival."

"What?"

"The Cannes Film Festival invites you to attend." After saying this, the agent almost jumped up with excitement.

The Cannes Film Festival was founded in 1946 and is the most influential and top international film festival in the world today.

It is divided into units such as "Main Competition", "Short Film Competition", and "Film Cornerstone". The jury for the main competition unit is composed of people from the film culture and art circles from various countries. The candidates are all prestigious directors, actors, screenwriters, and film critics. , score composer, etc., one of whom serves as the president of the jury. The non-competitive sections mainly promote new talents, and several of them have discovered many directors and international rising stars with potential and achievements.

The main competition unit is the most important competition unit of the Cannes International Film Festival, and it is also the judging unit that determines the ownership of major awards such as the "Palme d'Or". The Palme d'Or is the highest award at the Cannes International Film Festival in France. It was founded in 1957 and is generally awarded to only one film.

"Real or false? Who did you listen to?" Ma Guoliang was much calmer: "It's not a rumor, why are you so excited?"

"There is no smoke without fire. Don't underestimate these gossips. These are often the most reliable. This is what a friend in the industry told me. He knows some big foreign directors. I believe him more, and the news is quite accurate many times. The agent touched his chin and thought: "If you can receive an invitation from the Cannes Film Festival, it will be very helpful to increase your international influence."

Ma Guoliang waved his hand in front of the agent and said, "Stop dreaming. The only inaccurate information is gossip."

"Mr. Ma, I think this news is really reliable. This time "The Godfather" has a box office of 6.9 billion US dollars in the global film market, ranking second in film history. I checked carefully. According to the information, "Midnight", which currently ranks first in the box office in film history, won several awards at the Cannes Film Festival. Now that our film has achieved such good results, there is a high probability that we will receive an invitation."

Based on the box office performance of "The Godfather", the only one that can be used as a reference is "Midnight".

The agent continued to analyze: "And "The Godfather" not only has a high box office, but has also been praised by many netizens at home and abroad. Many people think this is a movie worth savoring. If I were the organizer of the Cannes Film Festival , I will definitely invite the main creative staff of this movie to participate."

Ma Guoliang said with a smile: "Let's see what you can do."

The agent sat across from me and said, "The Godfather is so exciting, and your interpretation of the characters in this movie is so perfect."

"Really?" Ma Guoliang looked down at the notebook.

The agent did not answer the question: "This news should be confirmed soon. We will continue to wait."

Ma Guoliang smiled and shook his head. Hearing the news, it was impossible not to feel any emotion in his heart. Being invited to the Cannes Film Festival means that you have gradually become known to audiences around the world. If you can win an award at the film festival, it will be recognition of your acting skills.

How can an actor prove his or her own strength? In addition to being recognized by the audience, it is also to win a hugely influential award.

In particular, these internationally renowned awards are the goals that many actors pursue throughout their lives.

Ma Guo couldn't help but feel a little excited at the thought of adding such an honor to his resume.

The agent said to himself: "Teacher Fan Shan seems to be on the invitation list."

Ma Guoliang raised his head instantly with a smile on his face: "If Teacher Fan Shan goes together, I will be looking forward to this Cannes Film Festival."

Fan Shan is both a mentor and a friend to Ma Guoliang. During the filming, the two of them would discuss acting problems together when they had nothing to do. Now they often ask for advice when they encounter problems.

"Although this is Teacher Fan's first time starring in a movie that was released simultaneously around the world, because the role of the old godfather is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it has gained a lot of attention internationally." The agent said seriously.

Fan Shan and Ma Guoliang are both leading actors in "The Godfather", so it is very reasonable for the Cannes Film Festival to invite them both at the same time.

‘Didi didi’

The phone suddenly rang.

"It's broken." The manager stood up and walked outside: "Forgot about the business, I'm going to do my work first."

Ma Guoliang waved his hand and lowered his head to continue studying his play.

In a room not far from Ma Guoliang's office, Fan Shan was sitting, carefully reading the script on the table. Starring in The Old Godfather made him famous. Not only did he receive many domestic scripts, but also many foreign directors approached him about filming.

He discussed this with Tan Yue in detail.

Tan Yue will not interfere with the script. As long as Fan Shan thinks the script is good, he can shoot it.

In terms of attitude towards scripts, Fan Shan is even worse than Ma Guoliang.

Fan Shan not only has high requirements for the plot, but is also strict in shaping the characters. Therefore, even though I received a large number of scripts during this period, I still haven't found one that satisfies me.

"Dong dong" came a gentle knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

"Teacher Fan."

"Xiao Chen, what's the matter?"

This person is Fan Shan's agent.

"Are you busy?" The agent was shocked when he saw the scripts on the table. He had sent them in one by one. He didn't know how many he had sent during this period until now.

Fan Shan smiled and said: "It's okay, let's see if there are any good scripts."

Xiao Chen silently raised his thumb. The release of "The Godfather" has just ended, and he is starting to prepare for the next stage of work. Moreover, Fan Shan is still young and has more ambition than most young artists.

"Teacher Fan, you don't have to work so hard. You don't have to rush into the next period of work. You can take a good rest."

"I'm getting older and can't sit still. I wanted to make a movie before but didn't have a script." Fan Shan pointed to the scripts on the table and said: "The opportunity is in front of you, so you must seize it."

"By the way." Xiao Chen suddenly remembered the business: "I just got a piece of news that the Cannes Film Festival will probably invite you."

Fan Shan nodded lightly, smiled slightly, and said nothing.

"Teacher Fan, it's the Cannes Film Festival." Seeing Fan Shan's reaction, it was obviously a bit beyond Xiao Chen's expectations. In his impression, the Cannes Film Festival is the dream of many actors, so even after hearing the rumor, he should be excited.

Fan Shan said softly "Hmm".

Seeing Fan Shan continue to read the script, Xiao Chen said: "You are busy first, I won't disturb you, I will go out first."

Xiao Chen closed the door and scratched his head with questions. He really couldn't understand why Fan Shan was so calm.

"It's a meeting, Xiao Chen."

"Go right away."

Xiao Chen shook his head and trotted to the conference room.

President's Office.

Tan Yue lowered his head and looked at the document. The document showed the ratings of various programs in the TV series department last month.

Some of these programs are in cooperation with TV stations, and some are in cooperation with video platforms, that is, online variety shows.

The ratings of the show have dropped compared to last month, which is normal.

Last month was the Spring Festival. Not only were there more people on holiday, many programs were specially planned for the Spring Festival, and many things had been changed compared to previous programs.

Tan Yue frowned and thought about whether he could often add similar elements to the show.

We soon had a direction. Needless to say, the elements of festivals are indispensable for celebrating festivals. Elements similar to the twenty-four solar terms can be added to programs at other times.

Tan Yue wrote these things down on paper, and when the time comes, he can let the planners of the program department be responsible for enriching the specific content.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the paper full of contents, he didn't know how many things could be used. After processing the documents, when he was about to call Chen Ye over, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Tan Yue sorted the files on the desktop.

"Mr. Tan." The person who came in was Chen Ye. Every once in a while, she would come in and pour tea.

While Chen Ye was pouring tea, Tan Yue said: "Xiao Ye, I'll go to the TV drama department later. There's something here that you can help me give to their director. Let them see if they can add the elements on the paper to the show. If If it doesn’t work, don’t force it, just maintain the status quo.”

"Okay, Mr. Tan." Chen Ye placed the poured tea and water on Tan Yue's right hand, and then took the document.

"There is also a document from the artist department."

Chen Ye said "Okay" and then took out a photo from his pocket. It was Tan Yue. He said sheepishly: "Mr. Tan, can you sign your name for me? This is the son of my mother's colleague. He is Your fans. After watching "The Godfather", I like you even more. Knowing that I work here makes my mother."

Chen Ye didn't continue talking. The more he talked, the more he felt his cheeks getting slightly hot. After all, it was work time now. He wanted to ask Tan Yue for autographs and photos before doing other things. He felt even more regretful and said silently in his heart: From now on, even if my mother wants I won’t ask for autographed photos during working hours.

She originally planned to find Tan Yue when she got off work, but just now she took it out without knowing what she was thinking.

"Of course there is no problem." Tan Yue agreed happily, took the photo and looked at it carefully, and joked: "I have good taste. I like this photo I picked very much."

After saying that, he picked up the signature pen and signed the photo calmly.

Different from usually signing company documents, signing for fans is a completely different font, and what is required is chic. But it's not too exaggerated. You can understand what the words are, unlike some celebrities' signatures that you can't understand at all.

"Thank you, Mr. Tan." Chen Ye took the photo and put it in his jacket pocket: "I'm going to deliver the documents first."

"Well, go ahead."

Chen Ye hurriedly left the office, rubbed his head in the elevator, and headed to the program department.
