After the premiere on the afternoon of the 24th, the group ran to three theaters and met and interacted with the audience, and then took the plane at 10 o'clock that night to Tokyo overnight.
Because the closing ceremony and award ceremony of the film festival were on the afternoon of the next day.
In addition to the premiere of "Arrows Piercing the Heart" roadshow in Wuhan, two fan meetings will be held in Beijing and Shanghai after the festival, as well as the arrangement of several interview programs. After all, it is an art film.
Compared with "The Double Donkeys" with a light comedy flavor, the company's expectations for box office this time are not high.
Art films, to put it bluntly, just make a profit, just seeking no loss, and of course it is better to make money!
Fortunately, the copyright of "Arrows Piercing the Heart" in Japan has long been bought by Kadokawa. At first, He Xin didn't have much expectations for the European market, but he didn't expect a film dealer from Italy to use 200,000 yuan.
The euro bought the copyright in Italy.
"Don't you know that Italy is known as the 'China of Europe'? Many of them are big families with three generations of grandparents and grandchildren living together, and people get along very much like China, like "Arrows Piercing the Heart"
A family ethics film is very popular there.”
Xiao Douding said this to him with a rare and strange expression.
Moreover, the popularity of "Arrows Piercing the Heart" at the Tokyo Film Festival has attracted many Asian filmmakers. Except for the two big heads of Japan and Italy, some other parts are already enough to recover investment costs.
Box office revenue is equivalent to net profit.
...
Night, hotel.
Nearly three and a half hours of flight time, plus one hour's time difference, the time spent on the road was already four o'clock in the morning.
I slept soundly on the plane, but now I can't sleep for a while. He Xin leaned against the bedside and was watching the variety show on TV. I have to say that the Japanese variety show is very large in scale, and there are all kinds of spoofs.
The degree is often jaw-dropping and constantly breaks the bottom line of acceptance by people.
He Xin was a little novel at first, but watching too much will inevitably cause some physical discomfort. However, the program he is watching now called "Super Change" is quite interesting.
This program is a bit similar to the talent show that has been flooded with screens in later generations, but the competition is not about singing and dancing talents, but about using props to turn people into animals, tables, toothpaste, elevators, cars, and even caterpillars.
It may feel boring, but after looking in, I find that although their outfits may be childish or even a bit clumsy, they take the performance very seriously.
While watching, he was still thinking divergently. Director Chen has been doing the late stage of "Mei Lanfang" in Japan recently. His movie has not been completed yet, and the copyright in Japan has been keen on cooperating with Chinese films.
Kadokawa Corporation acquired it. Although it is not known the specific acquisition price, it can be imagined that with Director Chen’s reputation and status, it will definitely be much higher than "The Heart of Arrows".
He really wanted to suggest that Director Chen Dali also take a good look at such variety shows and fully experience the sincerity of amateur actors in this kind of show.
Even if Chen Dadada, Jiang Lang, had no way to fight on the front line like the national teacher, but he would not be able to join Guo Xiaosi and others in variety shows and talk lies with his eyes open.
After all, performance requires sincerity. Only sincerity can touch people, not show off with a stunning posture.
"Crash!"
The bathroom door opened, Cheng Hao walked out in a new black skirt? He showed it in front of him and smiled, "How is it?"
"Yeah, it's not bad!" He Xin replied inadvertently.
"Hey? Is it okay to be serious? This is tomorrow...oh no? I'll wear it at the closing ceremony this afternoon." Cheng Hao said dissatisfied.
"It's really good. In fact, your other two dresses are good." He Xin showed a helpless expression.
"What do you know? I think the black one looks more solemn."
“…”
He Xin closed his mouth tactfully.
Cheng Hao curled his lips and hummed twice? He looked at the new skirt on his body in the mirror with a proud look, and then he walked back to the bathroom to change his clothes with satisfaction.
This time she came here, she originally brought enough dresses for different occasions? But this time she returned to China to attend the premiere? She asked the company to urgently choose two sets of dresses to send. As soon as she returned to the hotel room, she started to try out clothes impatiently.
He Xin could roughly guess that his girlfriend was nervous? In fact, as long as you are confident enough, what she wears doesn’t matter. Every time he participates in the three major European festivals, there are many female celebrities wearing on the red carpet? But no matter how many
The media is still the focus of audience attention? Either they are big stars in Hollywood or popular candidates for awards, and nothing else matters.
However, when he thought of winning the award, he was inevitably a little nervous. Director Feng Xiaoning left a lot of "thunder words" at this film festival, but there was one sentence he said was not wrong? Winning an award in the film festival is like buying a lottery.
It depends more on luck.
There are a total of fifteen participating movies in this film festival. When the last screening ended last night, the media couldn't wait to list all the popular ones.
In terms of the Golden Kirin Award, the Russian and Kazakhstan co-production "Tupan", the Polish movies "Four Nights with Anna" and "Thousand Arrows Punching the Heart" are almost on par.
In terms of directors, these three films are also the most popular directors.
The candidate for the film queen, Cheng Hao from "The Heart of Arrows", French actress Felicia Tevashi from "The Self-Help God Helps" and Jin Jia Presci from "Four Nights with Anna".
As for the actors, Vincent Casso in the French movie "The No. 1 Public Enemy" is a leader. This guy has a status equivalent to that of Jiang Wen, who is China in the French film industry. He once had a relationship with George Clooney and Boo.
Rad Pitt starred in "The Twelve Arhats" together. Of course, what made him most famous is because his wife is the famous Monica Beluchi
Some media also believe that He Xin contributed an unforgettable performance in "The Heart of Ten Thousand Arrows", but unfortunately he has too few scenes. There has never been a precedent for awarding actors to supporting actors in the history of the Tokyo Film Festival.
The competition among the actress queen has increased a lot of uncertainties. Speaking of the reason why the "Golden Rooster Award" Oscar has high credibility? It is because the Oscar judges, or more precisely, voters, from dozens of countries and invited people
It covers more than a dozen branches of the film industry, including actors, directors, producers, screenwriters, photographers, costume design, styling design, soundtrack, visual effects, editing, etc., with a total of as many as thousands of people.
The awards selected by such a vote are naturally more convincing. The award selection of film festivals, including the three major European festivals, depends more on the preferences and tastes of the judges, or rather on the preferences and tastes of the chairman of the jury. Often in the awards
It was not released in the end, and no one could say it was good.
...
Although we arrived at the hotel in the early morning, at 9 o'clock the next morning, everyone gathered in the small restaurant on the second floor of the hotel for breakfast. There were no other guests in the small restaurant, which was almost the same as a reservation. But each of them was not very energetic except for them.
In addition, more attention is not on food, and it seems that I am looking forward to something.
Soon, Xiao Douding and her assistant ran in panting. Everyone's eyes were focused on them.
"Wow, everyone is here!" Xiao Douding was shocked when he saw his own staff sitting in the small restaurant.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and say, have you got a few invitation letters?" Cheng Hao, who was always reserved and decent, couldn't hold back now and urged him in a hurry.
"You guess?" Xiao Douding breathed a sigh of relief, and said with his hands on his back, looking at a beating.
But when she saw so many fire-breathing eyes, Cheng Hao, who had already stood up, was even more urged to go wild, and did not dare to keep it in any way. She quickly took out her hand from behind, showed a stack of invitation letters, and shouted:
"There are eight lamps in total!"
"Wow, then we will definitely win the big prize!"
"We can almost go to the scene to see it!"
Everyone cheered immediately.
Cheng Hao trotted over with a look of surprise: "Show me."
Another troublemaker asked again: "How many invitations did Super Typhoon get?"
In a hilarious laugh, Xiao Douding glared: "Don't make a fuss!"
Although he was expecting it, He Xin was secretly relieved when he heard the news. He subconsciously turned his gaze to Wang Xiaoshuai sitting opposite him.
But I found that someone was sitting there with a calm face and siping coffee, with a calm and relaxed demeanor.
If he hadn't noticed that this guy was also in a state of uneasy before, He Xin would have thought he would have been confident. However, now he is willing to score 100 points for the pussy that Wang Xiaoshuai pretends to be.
"Brother Wang, congratulations! Maybe we can win the Golden Qilin Award this time." He Xin smiled.
Wang Xiaoshuai raised his eyebrows and couldn't hide his smug expression and said, "It's hard to say that the Golden Qilin Award is, but Xiao Cheng's actress shouldn't have a big problem."
As one of the leading figures of the so-called sixth generation directors, although he won numerous awards internationally, he has never won the highest award at the 12 A-Class Film Festivals. The highest glorious moment in his career was still seven years
He Xin, who was a fledgling man, won the Silver Bear Award in Berlin for "The Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle".
I am really looking forward to this Golden Kirin Award.
