As a result, the total global box office of "The Truman Show" has reached 265 million US dollars in two weeks. When converted into RMB, the box office has exceeded 2.2 billion RMB.
For a time, the country was shocked and filled with joy.
Although "The Truman Show" has been suppressed by the box office of "Arhat" since its premiere, starting from the tenth day, with the reports of domestic and foreign media, the Chinese people's joy and arrogance were unprecedentedly high.
After all, he achieved a comeback from adversity.
This is the most successful movie in the history of Chinese films. In some countries where it has not yet been released, many film producers have come to China and signed import contracts with Legendary Pictures. For example, Malaysia, Brazil, the Philippines and other places have also quickly introduced "
"The Truman Show", a translated version is produced and is expected to be released in March or April.
The most direct effect of the popularity of "The Truman Show" is that Li Qing's popularity has soared. The album "Baby" has triggered a sales boom around the world, and its classic songs have also been sung around the world.
On the video website, many people are playing and singing songs such as "Baby" and "You-are-not-alone". In the past few days in early February alone, Hanhai Group has received invitations and invitations from all over the world.
Although most of the endorsements are just with the idea of giving it a try and the bids are not high, there are also sincere partners. After several rounds of reviews, Li Qing has also traveled to various parts of the world in recent days to collaborate on commercial performances.
, as well as advertising endorsement cooperation.
The endorsements chosen by Hanhai for Li Qing are all international-level products. Except for clothing and cars, where Li Qing is already under contract and cannot endorse, luxury goods such as perfume, watches, and leather bags, etc., Hanhai has won,
All are international first-tier brands.
In the view of the Hanhai brokerage team, no matter how high the endorsement fee is, it is impossible for the boss to cooperate with some low- and mid-range products. Otherwise, it is equivalent to losing the watermelon and choosing sesame seeds. The gain outweighs the loss, which invisibly lowers the boss's status.
This is not a hard and fast rule, but an invisible rule.
Soon, February 9th came. The day before, Jiang Chendong, Lu Wanlei, Chen Xindao, Du Wansheng, Jiang Meier and others took the video tape of "The Truman Show" to Berlin, Germany.
Early the next morning, the Berlin Film Festival began a week of film screenings.
During this period, many international filmmakers showed surprise smiles when they saw Lu Wanlei, Chen Xindao and others, and chatted endlessly to say hello. Fortunately, Chen Xindao and others' English level was passable. Although they did not speak fluently, they could barely listen.
Yes, I answered the question while maintaining an awkward yet polite smile.
The translator I carried with me didn't expect Chen Xindao and others to be so popular abroad, and was so busy that my mouth went dry for a while.
"Li Qing didn't come. He had the foresight. Otherwise, wouldn't he be the focus of the audience?"
After Jiang Chendong communicated with a German director, he turned back to Chen Xindao and said happily: "This time, Chinese films have really risen."
"This is all your credit." Chen Xindao said with a smile.
Jiang Chendong shook his head: "I have never been exposed to this kind of movie before. As you know, sometimes on the set I racked my brains to get some pictures but couldn't get it right. After a long delay, it was not all Li Qing who finally
Did you come up with your own ideas to solve it? To put it bluntly, this is all the credit of Li Qing. I only caught up with this good movie by following Boss Li."
Although Chen Xindao agreed with this statement, he did not say it clearly and just smiled and said nothing.
Jiang Chendong continued: "Furthermore, with this movie taking the lead, there will probably be a wave of follow-up in the country. Movies with investment of hundreds of millions will definitely not be rare."
Chen Xindao also sighed at this time: "Times have changed."
Times have indeed changed. A Chinese movie can actually get a box office of 300 million U.S. dollars. This was something that the domestic media could not even imagine before this year. Being able to earn RMB is already very good, but it can also be earned overseas.
Dollar?
This is simply going to the heavens, Nong Xiaozhaofa!
Of course, if the public knew that Li Qing’s next film had an investment of US$300 million, they would not know what they would think.
Soon, in a week, all the eighteen films shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival were screened and began to enter the judging stage. In the next three days, while the awards are being customized, the Berlin Film Festival will also screen other films.
Some films that are not participating in the exhibition are available for the audience to watch for free.
Three days later, the Berlin Film Festival Awards Ceremony was officially held. Domestic and foreign media watched the cameras enter the party. At the same time, Li Qing also took a break from his busy schedule to come to the film festival to participate in this event. ——
