Entertainment Rebirth Rhapsody

Chapter 167 Chapter 160 Seven: One after another
The first-day box office of "Parasite" exceeded 2000 million, and it was highly promoted by Disney Pictures. Shanhe received numerous interviews and invitations.

The phone in Qu Ling's hand felt hot. While it was still charging, she quickly took the time to use the landline to call China to announce the good news.

"Parasite" has not yet been finalized in China, and the news that Shanhe won the award in M ​​country did not cause any disturbances. Except for a few professional literary magazines, there was no media attention.

At this time, the literary awards known to the Chinese people are probably only the Nobel Prize for Literature. As for the others, they are all pheasant awards, so what is there to report!
After Shanhe completed some media interviews arranged by Disney Pictures, he returned to the hotel. He had to prepare a speech for four to five minutes at the awards ceremony tomorrow night.

What should I say on stage?

When Shanhe was thinking, the phone call came from home. Shanhe held the phone and felt a headache. Aunt Qu had called his mother to complain, right?

"Hello, Xiaohe?"

"Mom, it's me. What's wrong? It's already very late in Shanghai. Is it okay to call me so late?"

"Today, Tencent's second round of financing has basically been finalized. The South African Communications Company has acquired 6000% of Tencent's equity at a valuation of US$20.00 million. Xiaoma has not mentioned giving up the equity again. Our equity is only based on The ratio is diluted. It seems that you did convince the pony that day!"

"Really? That's good. We have to save Tencent's shares until the end. I'm very optimistic about its development. Maybe these shares will not only represent money in the future."

"Understood, Tencent matters are all up to you, Xiao He, your Aunt Qu said that "Parasite" was a hit at the box office in country M, and you even won a Best Novel Award, you kid, don't give us a call Say it!"

"Mom, what's there to say, we only have about 5.00% of the share of "Parasite", and the entire project is controlled by Disney. I didn't quite understand the award I won, and I haven't heard of it in China. Now it seems that it is an authoritative award, and tomorrow I will take the trophy back to you."

"Okay! There's nothing else to do, wait a minute, your sister wants to talk to you, slow down! I'll give it to you, and you are the only one to worry about!"

"Brother, when will you come back? My grades have improved by more than ten places, and I have successfully counterattacked! Our class teacher even praised me in front of my mother!"

Shanhe laughed when he heard that, "Qiu Chuxi, tell me, what do you want, I know what you mean."

"Haha, my brother is still wise. Doesn't Disney have a lot of cartoons? Brother, when you come back, bring me some dolls. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Snow White, and dwarfs are also fine!"

"Okay! Then do I fulfill the agreement?"

"The appointment doesn't count, you just bring some gifts to the family, our agreement has to be counted separately!"

Shanhe couldn't help but smile when he heard his sister's words, "Okay! You have to keep your grades!"

"Brother, don't forget, my mother urged me to hang up the phone, our mother is so stingy, she always said that the phone bill is expensive."

"Okay, I remember it!"

"Brother, goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

After Shanhe put down the phone, he couldn't help but laugh. Qiu Chuxi is such a pistachio!

If you don't want to give a speech about winning the award, let's talk about my family!
Shanhe immediately began to write a speech, and it was a good idea to talk about his family and motherland.

The M National Book Critics Association Award is a literary award sponsored by the M National Book Critics Association, and it is one of the most authoritative literary awards in the United States.

Founded in , it includes Fiction Prize, Non-Fiction Prize, Poetry Prize, Memoir/Autobiography Prize, Biography Prize and Criticism Prize.

The scope of selection includes books translated into English and published in M ​​country.

On the afternoon of December 27th, Shanhe Quling and Hathaway arrived in Washington, and the awards ceremony was held at the Washington Convention Center at : pm.

That night, the three of them arrived at the Washington Convention Center in costumes. There was no foreplay, and the three of them were directly brought into the venue.

The whole venue was not big, filled with dozens of small round tables, and the three of Shan He were brought to the front one.

"Mr. Qiu, two ladies, this is your position. The award ceremony will start on time at eight o'clock. There is still some time, please do as you please!"

"Thank you!"

After Qu Ling watched the staff leave, he whispered to Shanhe: "How come this foreigner award ceremony is like a party, and you can walk around? It's so irregular! Look, there is something to eat over there!" "

"The people of country M are all pursuing freedom. They don't have the sense of ceremony of our Hua country, and they have very low requirements for solemnity." Shanhe said casually.

Hathaway on the side was a little confused about the Chinese conversation between the two, so she reached out and pulled Shanhe's sleeve, and Shanhe translated the conversation between the two for Hathaway.

After hearing this, Hathaway smiled and said, "In Country M, most award ceremonies are like this, and the Golden Globe Awards will be set up in the same way soon. Only the Oscars are special. Qiu, if you feel hungry, you can go to Food, we women are not suitable for eating at a ceremony, we wear makeup, and our dresses are not suitable for going to the bathroom!"

While the three of them were waiting, people kept coming over to say hello and introduce themselves. Shanhe received more than a dozen business cards, most of them from film company producers.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the awards ceremony officially began.

The M country's awards scene was arranged so casually, and the award process was exactly the same as in China. Several well-respected celebrities took turns speaking on the stage, which occasionally triggered a burst of laughter from the audience. Shanhe couldn't find a point of resonance, so he reluctantly grinned and pretended. .

After talking a lot of nonsense, the awards began. The best novel award Shanhe won was the most important among many awards, so it was left at the end of the finale.

The three people sitting in the front row watched the award winners come to the stage to accept the awards. They behaved variously.

The guests in the audience gave warm applause.

After the poetry awards were awarded, the host began to introduce the candidates for the fiction category and their works, and Shanhe's "Parasite" was still put at the end.

As a result, everyone already knows that when the host said Shanhe's surname, the audience applauded.

After Shanhe hugged Annie and Qu Ling one after another, he walked onto the stage calmly with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, Yau, your "Parasite" is wonderful!"

"Thank you!"

After receiving the trophy from the award presenters, Shanhe raised his hand to Qu Ling and Hathaway, and the audience applauded again.

Shanhe moved to the microphone and started his speech. "Dear guests, judges, and audience, good evening everyone, it is a great honor to be recognized by you, to receive this great honor, this is my second trophy, the first was in the middle school composition competition !"

Suddenly there was a burst of applause and laughter from the audience, Shanhe was a little puzzled, what's so funny about this, people from M country have such low laughs!

Shanhe waited for a while and continued: "My hometown is in a remote small county in Huaguo. My first work was born in a remote mountainous area under the county seat. There are my grandfather and grandmother, who have been farmers for generations. , I can’t even read newspapers, but they are the ones who have given me endless inspiration and life experience. Chinese people pay attention to inheritance, not just in words, hard work, optimistic life, simple kindness, tolerance These are the imprints left by my ancestors in every word and deed, and it is precisely because of these inheritance imprints that I am able to stand here today!"

"My father is a middle school teacher, my mother is a postal worker, and my neighbors are my father's teacher and his wife. They have given me a perfect environment, and they have continuously contributed their life experience, their own knowledge, and cultural inheritance. All the credit goes to my family for making me who I am!"

"I also have to thank my country and nation. 5000 years of civilization have been passed down in my blood. The splendid culture has given me the basis for creation. Biography, poetry, and opera are all the food on my literary journey..."

"I am honored to be recognized as a Chinese. I am grateful to the Book Critics Association for treating everyone equally. I hope to bring you more works and stories in the future. Thank you!"

Shan He's speech ended, and the audience burst into applause. Anne Hathaway and Qu Ling even stood up and applauded. Several Chinese also stood up, and then the audience stood up one after another.

Shanhe watched the audience standing up and applauding, and there was a wave of waves in his heart, he should be like this!After bowing to the audience, he walked off the stage.

After the awards ceremony, the three Shanhe rushed back to Los Angeles. The first week of screenings of "Parasite" was coming to an end, and Disney's promotional activities were gradually expanding.

On Monday, the first week of "Parasite" was overwhelmingly reported by the media.

70 million on Friday's premiere, 530 million on Saturday, and 160 million on Sunday.

It grossed $640 million in its opening week.

Commercially, "Parasite" was a huge success, with Walt Disney Pictures doubling its North American box office forecast upwards.

This week "Parasite" will begin its global release.

8000 million in North America and million in the world.Here's Disney Studios' box office forecast.

The new issue of "Time Magazine" is also on the market. On the cover, Shanhe stands gracefully in the soft light. The title is The Connector of Eastern and Western Cultures, and the subtitle is I am an Inheritor of Chinese Civilization.

Shanhe was flipping through the Time Magazine in his hand. Shanhe was a little surprised that this influential magazine in country M actually praised himself so highly.

Is it because this is the honeymoon period between the two countries?

The publicity of magazines and newspapers, the explosion of movie box office, the acquisition of literary awards, and the praise of film companies all come one after another, and the mountains and rivers in Vanity Fair seem to be shining!
Could it be that Hollywood is really a blessed land of mountains and rivers, every time there are unexpected gains.

Anne Hathaway was so excited about her boyfriend's success that she read Time Magazine.

"Annie, don't you think it exaggerates me too much?" Shan He looked at his girlfriend and asked.

"Honey, this is the case in M ​​country. The pace of Hollywood is faster. When you are in the best, everything revolves around you, but it will soon be replaced by other people or things. I was the same at the beginning of the year. Everything seems to be centered on me. The center was happening, and soon I found out that it was an illusion, Yau, don’t pay too much attention to it!” Anne Hathaway shared her experience.

Shanhe nodded, but Hathaway's answer hit him hard, "Thank you, Anne! I never asked you, what role will you have next?"

"I have already written the script of "Nicholas Nibeck", which is adapted from Dickens' novel. My dear, the experience at the beginning of the year told me that if I want to leave my mark, I must have an excellent work, just like you! I still have to Hone my acting skills, after you return to China, I will start to invest in the script!" Hathaway replied.

Looking at this ambitious girl, Shan He was a little moved and emotional, "Annie, come on, I told you, I will help you!"

"Qiu, we are all too young, don't promise me, let's let nature take its course?" Anne Hathaway was more rational than Shan He imagined.

Shanhe nodded silently, and the two stared at each other silently.

A knock on the door interrupted their silence, Shan He stood up, touched Hathaway's face, and walked towards the door.

After the door opened, Bruckheimer stood in front of Shanhe with a smile.

"Qiu, are you surprised to see me, did you not disturb your happy time?"

Shanhe rolled his eyes at Bruckheimer, "What's the surprise when I see you? Don't you need to arrange a publicity plan? How come you have time to come to me?"

"What? Aren't you going to invite me into the room?" Bruckheimer said with a laugh.

Hathaway poured a glass of water for Bruckheimer after seeing the two people walking in, "Mr. Bruckheimer, drink some water. If you have something to do with Qiu, I can avoid it first."

"No need!" Bruckheimer picked up his cup and took a sip of water, "The Golden Globes are coming soon, I'll come here and ask you, do you want to participate?"

Shanhe looked at Bruckheimer doubtfully, "Is that all?"

Bruckheimer smiled mischievously, "Of course, I'll show you a few scripts by the way."

"Let me just say, it's definitely not a simple greeting for you, a busy person, to visit." Shanhe mocked, "What script, what do you mean by showing me?"

"Qiu, do you still remember the pirate-themed movie you told me last year?" Bruckheimer ignored Shanhe's ridicule and asked.

Shanhe looked at Bruckheimer in surprise, is "Pirates of the Caribbean" about to start?

"Jerry, are you going to start a pirate-themed movie? I remember you said that no one dared to touch this genre!"

"I said so, but I believe in your luck more, Qiu. Take a look at these scripts first. They are all buyout scripts in the Disney Pictures script library. Let's take a look first and don't make a decision in a hurry!" Bruckheimer looked at the mountains and rivers and said.

Shanhe was speechless for Bruckheimer's words, "Jerry, you won't be so arbitrary!"

"My intuition tells me that to follow you is to follow God's leading!" Bruckheimer said nonsense seriously.

Hathaway on the side covered her mouth and laughed.

"Okay, Jerry, you leave the script, I will read it." Shan He gave Bruckheimer a blank look, "Is there anything else?"

"Tomorrow night, I will treat you, Qu, and Annie to a private banquet. Let's celebrate the box office success of "Parasite"."

"If you want to treat me, I will definitely not refuse. I will read the script tonight and we will talk tomorrow."
