Winner System of Entertainment

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor to have so many friends here today. On behalf of the entire "A Better Man" crew, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all my colleagues and friends from the media who have come here for the honor.

A sincere thank you! Thank you all for your support!”

Chen Musheng stood up to speak amidst the warm applause of the audience. The smile on his face could not be concealed at all. His whole face was red, as if a poor man had just won 5 million and would be able to win from now on.

Becoming a general manager, serving as CEO, marrying Bai Fumei, and reaching the pinnacle of life.

Of course, no one will laugh at him or look down on him, because he has every right to be so excited.

As the only major Chinese director after Li Yu's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to have made a single film with a box office of more than 200 million U.S. dollars, and also a real major director of urban commercial films, Chen Musheng is definitely qualified to say

He said: "I'm just fooling you!"

What's more, "A Better Day" is a very pure representative of Hong Kong movies, and it is not a co-production model like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with the participation of multiple countries and regions. This makes people feel particularly magical.

Therefore, this time, although Chen Musheng's face was rosy and he seemed to be a little too excited, and he did not appear to be so indifferent and took money and glory lightly, no one at the scene despised him for being superficial, and no one was disdainful. On the contrary, in

After he delivered his speech, everyone immediately applauded, and almost all of them treated him with great courtesy.

There is no way, commercial movies are actually similar to sports competitions. Even after they are released, they are rated as shit by many people. But as long as the box office is high, it will be like winning the championship despite having an ugly style of play. The winner is not

It should be criticized because results are above all else.

When the applause subsided, Chen Musheng exclaimed with a smile: "Please forgive me, I really can't control my excitement, because for me, this work can achieve such good results,

In fact, it was beyond my expectation.”

He paused, and amidst everyone's laughter, he looked at the leading actors sitting on his left and right, including Xie Tingfeng, Tang Xiaosha, Wu Jing, the name of the cast, etc., and then he said with a sincere smile: "A drama can

Although the director plays a big role in achieving success, it is also inseparable from the full performance of the actors and the joint efforts of many people behind the scenes. I believe everyone understands this!"

Just when everyone was nodding silently, he suddenly raised his voice: "So. I would also like to say thank you to all the cast and crew of this movie. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your dedication. You all."

They are all the best, and I sincerely hope that we can all continue to cooperate.”

The last sentence was almost shouted, which fully demonstrated his sincerity. Immediately, the audience burst into thunderous applause. All the leading actors on the stage also smiled and applauded, and the atmosphere of the scene was changed.

The time has also become more exciting.

After finishing this somewhat routine speech, Chen Musheng's excitement finally relaxed a little, and the redness on his face faded a little.

When the applause subsided, he pushed up his glasses, coughed slightly and said: "Well, I believe that everyone will not be too interested in listening to my nonsense, especially the reporter friends, haha, so, we have

Please invite the international distributor of this film, Mr. Jiang Zhiqiang of Anle Pictures, to come on stage and briefly introduce to us the specific box office data of this film around the world."

"Pah, pah, pah, pah..."

Needless to say, when everyone heard what Chen Musheng said, they immediately showed strong interest. At least, the reporters present were definitely very happy.

Your sister, I always hear Huanyu announcing how much the box office has increased and how much the total box office has reached. But in fact, even these reporters are not very clear about the movie "The True Colors of a Man" around the world.

How much box office it has achieved, they only know the data in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. As for other countries and regions, there is really no way to figure it out one by one.

So, now that I heard that "the promoter of Chinese-language films" Jiang Zhiqiang was going to announce specific box office data around the world, the reporters were so excited! Of course, they immediately applauded vigorously.

Well, in fact, this aspect is also a topic that most of the guests present are very interested in. After all, we are all insiders in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Who would not care about this work that has created the peak box office of Hong Kong films?

, what kind of anti-heaven method is it?

You know, with the strong financial performance of "A Better Man", the entire Chinese film circle is now discussing a question, that is, whether to follow Li Yu in filming classical martial arts, such as "Hero", "The Promise", "Man City"

Which one is better? Is it better to follow the example of "A Better Man" and make an urban action movie?

In any case, as another Chinese-language film with a global box office of over 200 million U.S. dollars, "A Better Day" is definitely on the same level as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in terms of revenue at least, and the latter leads the way for mainland films.

The "blockbuster trend" and "classical martial arts trend" have been in the industry for several years.

For example, "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers", "The Promise", "The Night Banquet", "The City of Golden Armor"...these so-called big productions with mixed reputations actually have one characteristic, that is classical + martial arts, and

This feature is why the directors followed Li Eucalyptus's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" because it made a lot of money and even won the Golden Globe and Oscar awards!

To be honest, it’s hard to evaluate the blockbuster model in the Chinese film industry, because in addition to the two similar styles of action/historical and classical/action, many so-called famous directors don’t know which one to go for.

Spending money on so-called Olympic films and big productions, they all turned into classical/action genres. This is simply a typical example of those who learn from me will live, and those who resemble me will die!

Damn it, your sister, the blockbusters we watch every year are all performed by those same people, and the contents of the performances are almost all palace dramas with different waistcoats. Do you want to let people live like this?

Sister, can't you follow the example of Hollywood and really make big-budget disaster films, action/adventure films, horror/thriller films, and suspense films?

Yes, before the success of "A Better Life", almost no one in the Chinese film industry thought about making large-scale productions other than historical/action films, because firstly, they were not good at it, and secondly, they were not good at it.

It's because everyone is not confident, and they don't believe that an urban action movie/cop movie can actually achieve excellent results of over 200 million US dollars worldwide.

But now, a trend of research and imitation has emerged in the industry. Many great directors and famous directors have begun to study the prospects of action/adventure films. After all, they have learned from the past!

Therefore, the insiders who came to congratulate were also looking forward to it. Their excitement was actually no less than that of the reporters who just wanted to get the breaking information. Therefore, when Jiang Zhiqiang appeared, the applause from the audience was deafening.

, hundreds of reporters, hundreds of insiders, and their huge entourage, everyone applauded vigorously, which made Jiang Zhiqiang, who strode onto the podium, very happy.

As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when happy events happen, Jiang Zhiqiang has gained a lot this time! As the recommender of this movie in the European and American markets, he can extract several percentage points from the total revenue of Universal.

This is equivalent to his net profit of tens of millions.

Then, because of this action, he once again gained strong attention in the Asian film circle. Almost all film production companies, including many film companies in Japan and South Korea, took the initiative to contact him and please him.

He hopes to sell his company's works to Europe and the United States through his hands. He also said that the amount of the share can be easily negotiated. This is his real gain!

Therefore, the unattractive Jiang Zhiqiang really had no reason to be unhappy. As soon as he came on stage, he shook hands with Chen Musheng and hugged him with a smile on his face. Then without too much nonsense, he started speaking in Cantonese: "I remember this play.

When the project was first established, I had

I told Director Chen that I also wanted to invest in it, because Director Chen set up this drama very well. It is not the old-fashioned Hong Kong police and gangster movie model. It will probably be very popular, but it is a pity that Lin Sheng (Boss of World)

His vision was also very powerful, so I was declined by him!"

Chen Musheng said modestly: "Jiang Sheng is over-reputed. In fact, I didn't expect that he would achieve this level of success."

At this time, Lin Xiaoming, who was also sitting in the audience, just smiled and looked very happy, but in fact, he was cursing secretly in his heart: "This is pure nonsense. If you really liked this show at that time,

, I’m still considering a woolen yarn? I definitely want it! There’s no need to worry about not being able to recoup the cost!”

Yes, when he was filming this movie, he planned to bring Anle and Meiya together to do it. But it was a pity that when Jiang Zhiqiang and the boss of Meiya heard that they would invest 60 million Hong Kong dollars, they immediately felt

There was no profit, and there might even be losses, so both companies simply refused.

In the end, Lin Xiaoming was frustrated, and after a long period of struggle and thinking, he decided to take a gamble and start filming.

Of course, he would not tell anything about the past, because speaking out would be equivalent to slapping Anle and Meiya in the face, which would not do him any good, so he might as well just let him take advantage of the situation.

After all, from another perspective, it just shows that you have a very good vision, doesn't it?

Of course, the people present did not know Lin Xiaoming's little thoughts, so after they smiled, they still looked at Jiang Zhiqiang, waiting for him to continue. (To be continued...)
