Chapter 468 Fame that can be transformed into money!
"This is the second time I have stood on this podium and received this trophy. I would like to thank all the teachers on the film festival organizing committee."
"But what I want to thank most is not this award today, but six years ago, when I entered the directing industry for my first film, the judges and teachers awarded me two awards: Best Director and Best Debut Film.
At that time, this was the greatest encouragement to me as a new director. It was this kind of encouragement that allowed me to persevere and achieve what I have achieved today.”
Tang An stood on the stage holding the trophy and spoke passionately.
How touching!
However, some people scoffed, and Brother Chen Kai snorted inaudibly in the audience.
A trace of worry flashed in Brother Kai's eyes. This time "The Orphan of Zhao" still didn't win a single award. In the end, only Best Picture and the Jury Prize were left.
Although he was a little unhappy, Tang An still clapped his hands after finishing speaking.
Over there, Feng Xiaogang was much calmer. The best picture could only be "Tangshan Earthquake". He was not worried at all.
Sure enough, it was announced that the Best Picture Award would be won by "Tangshan Earthquake".
Feng Xiaogang straightened his clothes, waved around and strode onto the stage.
Another good piece of cake.
Tang An watched Feng Xiaogang show off on the stage from below and clapped his hands gently.
Next to him, Yang Mi applauded and laughed softly, "Brother An, I think you can become an actor in the future. I almost believed what you said just now."
"I was telling the truth." Tang An said without looking back.
"Didn't you say you don't care about awards? You also said that even if you were given three major European awards, it would be a waste of time for you to go there."
Yang Mi curled his lips, with two big words "I don't believe it" clearly written on his face.
"Absolutely, but what I said on stage just now was really serious. When I made my first movie, I needed this award to enhance my reputation, both in the industry and the audience. That award was also very important to me at that time, but now the three domestic films
Kim is of no use to me anymore, and even the three major European film festivals are of no particular use."
This is not to brag, the three major awards will only have a limited impact on the box office, and even the bonus in Europe is not large. The buyout can be sold at a good price, but it is only a few million dollars.
As for fame, Brother Chen Kai's fame in Europe is definitely not as high as that of Cheng Long and Li Lianjie.
Cheng Long has a high box office, and Jet Li has a high income from DVDs. After all, most of Jet Li's films are relatively violent, and many of them are restricted when released overseas.
Three years ago, Jet Li's R-rated action film "The Knight" invested US$25 million. Although the box office in North America was only US$28 million, the global market sales of digital broadcasts, physical media broadcasts and other sales exceeded US$80 million.
There is also "Kiss of the Dragon" at the beginning of the century, with the same investment of 25 million U.S. dollars, and a global box office of 70 million U.S. dollars. In France alone, which loves literary films, it sold 10 million U.S. dollars.
It has never been literary films that are big sellers in Europe. Later, "Fireworks in the Day" which won the Golden Bear and Silver Bear was a big hit in France, but it only cost 1.4 million US dollars.
The box office revenue of US$70 million was still small, and video and DVD sales reached US$110 million.
Even Jet Li's Hollywood debut "Romeo Deadly" in 1998 took in US$55 million at the box office in North America, and its video and DVD revenue was nearly US$120 million.
Jet Li's global sales of DVDs and video tapes have even reached a terrifying US$1.5 billion. These are all genuine data, and there are no complete statistics.
Therefore, Li Lianjie and Cheng Long receive a salary of one thousand or even fifteen million US dollars in Hollywood, while they receive 70 to 80 million US dollars in China.
From 500,000 to 15 million, one hit movie after another, and the real profits helped me earn it.
Although he cannot receive A-level production, he still deserves the title of world superstar. As for the so-called Jet Li and Cheng Long, they are making soy sauce in Hollywood.
At the beginning, I rushed to find Li Lianjie to act in "The Letter of Investment". Without Li Lianjie, those investors would not have been able to give Chen Kexin so much money.
As for the overseas box office and DVD sales failure, it is completely Chen Kexin's own problem. Seven or eight of his previous films were hits around the world, with almost no failures, so why did he fail here?
To put it bluntly, fame that can be converted into money is real fame.
This year's College Student Film Festival came to a successful conclusion. Finally, there was an organizing committee award, which was won by the feature film "My Girlhood".
It's exactly the same title as a movie from a few years later. I don't know if the copyright fee has been paid.
After the leaders finished their speeches, the awards ceremony was over and everyone left the venue in turn.
"You three are going to treat us to a late night snack later." Tang An said with a smile as he walked outside.
"Director Tang, didn't you win an award too?"
"Why do you think I'll treat you to a meal with such ink marks? Did Deng Chao tell you whether I'd like to invite you or not?"
"Please, you can eat wherever you want." Deng Chao smiled quickly.
Now he also has the best actor trophy. Although he is not good enough, he is still the "best actor"!
"Then let's go to Crown International next door. Deng Chao, why don't you ask Sun Li to pay?"
"No need, I have money!" Deng Chao said proudly.
"Okay, Mi Mi, leave your bag with Zhao Luoyao. No one will pay the bill later."
After confirming that they all had money, the group walked outside.
But they had to pass the reporter first. Almost all of them won awards, and they inevitably had to be blocked by reporters.
Liu Ye, who won the Best Actor Award, was the first to be stopped when he walked in front.
"I'm very happy to win this Best Actor Award. I haven't touched the trophy for five or six years. Thank you Director Tang for giving me the opportunity to play such a challenging role. I also thank the organizing committee.
I will be recognized by the audience."
Deng Chao: "Unlike Brother Ye, who won so many awards in his early twenties, this award is very rare. It is the best compliment for my previous acting career, and it is also a kind of pressure that will make me better in the future."
Perform well and present better works to the audience."
Yang Mi: "I am very grateful to everyone for voting for me to win this award. I am also sincerely happy that the audience can recognize my performance."
Tang Yan: "It's a bit regretful that I didn't win the award, but I also have many shortcomings. There is still a certain gap between Sister Binbin and Sister Xu Ban."
Tang An: "I"
They won half of the grand prizes, and they were surrounded by the most reporters, much more than Feng Xiaogang and the others.
Feng Dapao won the Best Picture and Most Popular Director awards today, and he was in a very good mood.
Except there was an indifferent reporter who asked a jarring question.
"Hello Director Feng, in recent years your films "Assembly" and "Tangshan Earthquake" have been hugely successful, but "If You Are the One 2", which you were originally good at, did not do well at the box office during the Lunar New Year campaign. Can you tell me why?
?”
""If You Are the One 2" has a box office of over 400 million. If this is not considered a success, please give me some examples of success!"
Feng Dapao is Feng Dapao, someone who can point at reporters and scold them.
Brother Chen Kai over there is also tired of dealing with it. More than 10 reporters are asking if they have any feelings about not winning anything today and last year at the Golden Rooster Awards. They also lost to Tang An and Feng Xiaogang.
The old paper has the Palme d'Or in Cannes!
Brother Chen Kai really wanted to point his finger at this reporter's nose and shout this sentence, but he restrained himself rationally and dealt with the reporters calmly.
ps: Go to bed. I have been extremely busy these past two days. I have updated twice in a row and I am too embarrassed to talk.
