Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 77 Winning the Prize

Ever since the two films "The Wrong Ride" and "The Story of Hu Yue" entered the main competition section of the Venice International Film Festival, Su Chengcheng asked Liang Shuyi to send people to keep a close eye on them.

A few days later, shocking news came that both films were shortlisted for the Golden Lion Award.

Among them, Sun Yue, the actor who played the role of the mute uncle in "The Wrong Ride", was nominated as the leading actor. What is even more miraculous is that Ye Qianwen, who has not participated in many movies, was nominated for the best actress for her role as A Mei.

This is the unprecedented first time that the same film has been nominated for the Best Actor and Actor Award.

On the day of the awards ceremony, the first news that came back was that "The Story of Hu Yue" won the Special Jury Award. Shortly afterwards, Ye Qianwen, who played A Mei in "The Wrong Ride", won the Emerging Actor Award. Sun Yue won the New Actor Award for his dumb performance.

For his role as Uncle, he won the Best Actor Award, which is the Volpi Cup for Best Actor. As for Best Actress, he received a bye.

The highest honor, the Golden Lion Award for Best Picture, was not given to the promising "Atlantic City", but to "The Wrong Ride".

In an instant, it was not only Lido Island that caused a sensation. After the news came back, Wan Dao and Xiangjiang were completely crazy. After all, this is a rare example at the Venice International Film Festival. It was produced by Xiangjiang Film Company and Wan Dao actors participated.

's video.

Just after the award ceremony ended, Su Chengcheng received a call from Xiang Huaqiang: "Mr. Su, congratulations!"

"Mr. Xiang, congratulations!"

After speaking, Su Cheng solemnly said: "I hope Mr. Xiang can take advantage of this opportunity to arrange the release as soon as possible."

"Don't worry! It will be released tomorrow on Wandao. As for Xiangjiang, of course we have to ask Mr. Su's Tengyue Cinemas for help."

"no problem!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Cheng said something to Zou Wenhuai. Even if this is a literary film, with the honor of the Golden Lion Award, the box office will definitely not be too bad. It will definitely be much better than the data given by the system data.

Sure enough, when Tengyue TV promoted the movie "The Wrong Ride", major newspapers were also promoting the drama. Firstly, the film was produced by Xiang Huaqiang's company. Secondly, the screenwriter was the boss of Tengyue Entertainment.

Su Cheng. The bosses of newspapers all gave me thin noodles.

In an instant, the popularity of this literary and artistic film even exceeded that of many "commercial comedies" being promoted. The power is evident.

On September 2, the premiere box office of "The Wrong Ride" was released, which was HK$680,000. It was much more than Su Cheng expected.

On the second day, it was HK$850,000. On the third day, it was HK$730,000. On the fourth day, it was HK$690,000. In the following days, the box office continued to decline, but after a week, the total box office also reached HK$4.72 million. When the movie is released

The painting will still have a box office of HK$7 million or 8 million.

At the same time, Wandao was even more terrifying. In one week, the box office exceeded NT$13 million (more than HK$4 million).

I'm afraid it will instantly beat the box office sales of "Modern Times" and "Junior" at the beginning of the year.

Seeing this scene, Su Cheng was slightly relieved. At least, the "promise" to Xiang Huaqiang was completed. Even if the film's release was delayed for more than a month, the profits it could bring were considerable. Say less,

The net net income is no less than 20 million Hong Kong dollars. Who told Xiang Huaqiang to sell the distribution of the film "The Wrong Ride" to those European distributors when he was in Venice! From that sum alone, he earned almost 3 million

US dollars.

…

After the craze for "The Wrong Ride" passed, Su Chengcai arranged for the release of "The Story of Hu Yue".

At this time, "Two Dragons Go to Sea" and "Royal Senior Sister" were also painted.

Although "Double Dragon" relied on Ng Man-tat's fame, but also had Stephen Chow's crotch, the final box office only stayed at 15.23 million Hong Kong dollars. On the contrary, "The Royal Sisters" with Hui Yinghong as a "chivalrous heroine", the box office reached 12.86 million Hong Kong dollars. This

Or is it because it is a movie with a "big heroine", otherwise, the box office would be even higher.

It was also at this time that the film "The Brave Cannon" directed by Liu Guanwei and "The Man Who Never Takes Off His Socks" by Kwan Jin Peng were completed.

In Hollywood, Wang Jing has officially formed the crew of "Back to the Future". Of course, the director Robert Su Cheng asked to find in advance has also joined.

While the new theater chain was still in the rectification stage, Shi Nansheng began to recruit "new directors" and "new artists" in Hollywood based on Su Cheng's vision and standards.

Unlike here in Xiangjiang, all named artists and directors in Hollywood will join the union, and even "special actors" will have notes.

It was also like this that allowed Shi Nansheng to search for a lot of artist information. Among them was the well-known Tom Hanks, who just debuted last year. Jim Carrey, who is somewhat famous but has not yet played a role in a big film crew, was born.

Phoebe Cates, who comes from a film and television family, with a Chinese mother and a black-haired Asian appearance. Sharon Stone, who has just debuted. Isabel Adjani, who has both acting skills and beauty. Sophie, who is full of personality and advocates for women's rights.

· Marceau.

As for whether there are any fish that have slipped through the net, Su Chengcheng is not sure. After all, he has watched a lot of Hollywood movies, but most of the people whose names he knows are still active in the film industry in the new century, or they are too famous.

Artists. Others have to be tested by the system. However, their company is not well-known at present, and it is run by "foreigners". It is temporarily impossible to recruit experienced artists or directors.

Maybe it would be okay if we cooperate. Just like the current director Robert.

…

After Tengyue TV handed it over to Le Yiling, the filming of "The Love of the Earth" directed by Xu Xiaoming officially started. At the same time, director Xiao Sheng also straightened out the script of "Looking for Qin" and began to form the crew. However, let

Su Cheng was a little surprised that the actor he chose to play the protagonist Xiang Shaolong turned out to be Tony Leung.

In addition, the heroine Wu Tingfang was played by Hui Yinghong. Qin Qing was played by Wang Zuxian. And Zhao Pan (Ying Zheng) chose Jacky Cheung who was still practicing singing.

With such a combination, I really don’t know what the finished film will be like?

However, the novel "Looking for Qin" has many fans, so Su Cheng is not worried about the ratings.

On the contrary, at Tengyue Entertainment, Stephen Chow, who received HK$80,000 in dividends due to the box office success of the movie "Double Dragon", became arrogant and complacent. He stopped studying his acting skills and refused to participate in TV series.

Yixin is like a movie actor. And the reason is very simple, he can make a lot of money.

But with his current immature acting skills, being able to be the leading male lead in two dramas is considered a benefit from the company, so he still needs to ask for it? Not only does it give Su Cheng a headache, but even Chen Shufen, who is currently in charge of the artist department, wants to curse.

Already.
