This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 695: It's so hypocritical! (Seeking monthly votes)
After some publicity, the box office of "Bullfighting" soared and Hao Yun won another award in Cannes.

This is a tried and tested promotional point.

Moreover, Light Media took a different approach, saying that even the famous Japanese director praised Hao Yun's movie "Bullfighting".

This is not a lie. Naomi Kawase did praise the movie when she was interviewed.

The feature film "The Forest of Logs" directed by Naomi Kawase won the "Grand Jury Prize" in the main competition unit of this year's Cannes Film Festival, which is much more impressive than the "Jury Prize" won by Hao Yun.

In addition, the quality of the movie "Bullfighting" is indeed very good, so it has set off a wave of movie-watching craze.

The box office was only 10 million in the first week, but it reached 30 million in the second week.

It looks like it’s about 40 million.

For a movie with a total budget of only 12 million, what else do you need a bicycle for?

Guangxian Media even prepared itself mentally for a huge loss.

But I didn't expect that I would start making money, and it seemed like I made a lot of money.

After all, it’s not just the box office that’s generating revenue, but also overseas revenue.

It does sound a bit magical that an anti-Japanese film sold its overseas copyright, but the price of one million and a half million US dollars is real, and this price directly recovers the cost.

Overseas film producers are not stupid either. They are not heading for the cinemas at all.

With multiple channels, it is easy to recover the cost of one or two million dollars, and it is at most a matter of how much profit you make.

At least it can enrich their film source library.

This is Hao Yun's third work to be shortlisted for the three major European film festivals, and each time he was shortlisted he won a prize.

Last year Berlin even won two awards.

This has also resulted in his fame beginning to spread to the European and American film scene, and audiences of art films have begun to take an interest in him.

If Hao Yun had not gone straight to the eight major film studios in Hollywood, but found a medium-sized film production company in Hollywood, it would not be a daydream for him to become a director and get the editing rights.

Even the eight major film companies would respect him as a "film wizard" as long as the production cost could be maintained at the level of 10 or 20 million US dollars.

Hollywood has indeed reported that Hao Yun is a leader among China's new generation and an absolute film genius.

The reports usually also note that "Trouble is a friend" and "Need you now" were both written and sung by him.

There's also Pacific Rim and Northeast.

It is foreseeable that in a dozen years or so, Hao Yun will be respected as a master.

Even though Hao Yun was more energetic than the average person, he was still a little bit dizzy.

“Where did you travel?”

The movie genius took advantage of the break to call An Xiaoxi.

He had just turned his phone to silent mode, worried that An Xiaoxi would call him suddenly. Chen Xingliang didn't like students answering their phones during class.

However, after worrying for several days, An Xiaoxi did not fight.

She didn't even call to congratulate Hao Yun on winning the Jury Award.

It was just crazy fun.

After going out with An Xiaoxi, Hao Yun could feel An Xiaoxi's love for traveling.

Many people write in their self-introduction that they like music and traveling.

Music is okay, probably everyone dislikes it, but traveling is likely to be just a decoration, and you have only been to a few places in your life.

"In Vienna~Congratulations on winning the award."

An Xiaoxi was so happy when she received Hao Yun's call that she even forgot about her plan to get angry.

After coming back from Chengdu, he ran away without even saying hello.

Then I didn't contact her for half a month.

"It's just a small prize. I bought you a piece of crystal in Cannes. It's very beautiful." Hao Yun actually bought a gift for An Xiaoxi.

"Crystal?" An Xiaoxi was already beginning to feel guilty.

She actually thought Hao Yun was a big fool just for such a small matter that "Hao Yun left without saying goodbye and hasn't contacted her since."

"I met a French filmmaker who is friends with the chief designer of Lalique, so I bought limited edition new products," Hao Yun explained.

And the French filmmaker wanted to sleep with him.

However, after Hao Yun explained it clearly, the other party gave up with a smile and even helped Hao Yun buy gifts.

"Lalique, I know their limited edition products, but they're hard to find!"

An Xiaoxi's English name is Shui Jing, and she loves crystal very much.

I have a lot of crystal products collected at home.

She is no stranger to Lalique. The limited edition works produced by this brand are very popular among private collectors, and their collection value is unquestionable.

This year, Lalique launched a number of limited editions and collections.

Including the "Tianlong" vase, which is limited to 88 pieces worldwide, and the "Lijiang" vase, which is limited to 888 pieces worldwide, both are Lalique's masterpieces.

Hao Yun bought one for each and planned to give them to An Xiaoxi when he returned.

This was to compensate An Xiaoxi for the hard work she put into taking on three dramas this year, but An Xiaoxi was not at home.

This is a bit too much.

"Both of these bottles use Chinese elements. The Tianlong bottle is amber... The Lijiang crystal vase is modeled after the stairs in the ancient alleys of Lijiang Old Town, and the transparent pattern next to it is inspired by the ancient music played by the Naxi people... If you don't come back, I'll throw it away."

Hao Yun described the appearance of the bottle to An Xiaoxi.

Finally, he threatened.

An Xiaoxi wanted to roll her eyes when she heard this, but she was still worried that Hao Yun would go crazy, so she quickly coaxed him, "I'll be back in two days, don't throw it away, I'll leave it at your house and I'll pick it up then. I'll also bring you a gift." "What are you going to bring me?" Hao Yun was sitting on a bench on the campus, his smile particularly dazzling in the early summer sun.

"I'll bring you a lollipop!" An Xiaoxi snorted.

"Hahaha~" Hao Yun laughed out loud like a fool, attracting the attention of many passers-by and classmates.

Isn't that the weird senior in our school? Why does he look so stupid?
Hao Yun soon couldn't laugh anymore.

After several days of discussion, his new script "Twelve Residents" has been thoroughly understood by his seniors.

I called him over to hold a seminar.

From the plot to the lines, the seniors criticized the screenwriter Hao Yun harshly.

It made him doubt his life.

Fortunately, my seniors all gave me suggestions for revision.

Hao Yun discussed it with them from a film perspective, and the script was changed beyond recognition.

The background suggestion was changed to Hong Kong, saying that there is no so-called jury system in the mainland.

Even the kernel has been changed.

Then the senior brothers explained to Hao Yun the reasons for the change.

That makes sense.

Hao Yun had to admit that he was only a dabbler in law and was far from being a successful person.

He thought he was doing pretty well, probably because his tutor was too lazy to scold him.

It was like a hard slap in the face.

He originally planned to become a teacher at Beijing Film Academy after graduating with a master's degree.

Now I don’t have that confidence anymore.

I thought if it really doesn’t work out, I’d study for another four years and get a PhD at the same time.

A PhD at Peking University can take three to seven years.

Chen Xingliang has almost no students who can graduate with a doctorate in just three years. For example, his favorite student Che Hao is starting his fourth year this year.

Some of my senior brothers have even studied for five years.

If Hao Yun were to study for a doctorate under his guidance, it would probably take at least four years.

The prerequisite is that Chen Xingliang is willing to accept him.

After Hao Yun finished discussing with his fellow seniors, he took the idea to his instructor for advice.

The main one is to listen to advice.

Chen Xingliang was dissatisfied with Hao Yun's attitude towards study, but he appreciated his attitude towards life.

I analyzed the script for him carefully.

I talked about it in detail and also said a lot of things that were not part of the script.

After returning from his mentor's place, Hao Yun's confidence dropped significantly.

Damn, I was hit by a group of academic masters.

In fact, Chen Xingliang is quite tolerant of the student Hao Yun.

Even if some of what Hao Yun said was irrelevant, he would listen carefully and try to understand Hao Yun's ideas.

Instead of making rough rules that you are wrong and I am right.

I am your mentor and you must listen to me.

He probably wanted to do an experiment to see how far a "wild" and "part-time" student could go.

With this, "Twelve Residents" was finalized.

Hao Yun had to admit that this script was no longer his personal adaptation.

The senior brothers did not intend to compete for credit for this.

They don't want to be screenwriters either.

At most, we decided to collectively create a relevant paper based on the discussions over the past few days.

Let's discuss issues related to the judicial system.

This was the task given to them by Chen Xingliang. After Chen Xingliang got the script, he gave it to the students and assigned it as a law homework linked to the movie.

Hao Yun will also participate in the writing of the paper.

When An Xiaoxi came back, Hao Yun was still in school writing a paper with his seniors.

She took the key and rushed into Hao Yun's house impatiently.

In Hao Yun's living room, we found the two beautiful crystal vases that Hao Yun had mentioned.

While admiring the vase, she was also doing some self-admiration.

This really shouldn't have happened. Why did I feel that Hao Yun left on purpose without saying goodbye?

It's not like I don't know his itinerary.

He took a flight to Cannes early in the morning, and I was sleeping at that time. Isn't it normal for him to leave without saying goodbye?
The Cannes Film Festival is so busy, and the premiere was held in such a rush that there was no way there would be time to make a phone call.

There are a lot of things to do after I come back.

"Bullfighting" needed to be promoted and "Girl in the Palace" needed to be prepared, but I didn't even attend the domestic premiere of "Bullfighting" because I had to travel with my mother.

An Xiaoxi, you are so pretentious!
