Tung Waner: "Let's not mention this for now. Let's get down to business. I would like to formally congratulate you, thank you, director. The box office has exceeded 500 million."
Xie Yu said seriously: "No, it's already 600 million!"
Dong Waner suddenly pushed her shoes under her body, kissed her and said, "So many!"
Xie Yu: "It depends on CCTV's reposting. It has gone out of the circle a little bit. Coupled with the recent increase in screenings, it has indeed risen faster."
Tung Waner said happily: "Will it be more than one billion? If the first movie I participate in can get more than one billion at the box office, then my future..."
Xie Yu: "This trend is only temporary. I also hope to exceed one billion. Unfortunately, no matter how much it is, it won't matter."
Dong Waner: "It doesn't matter? Oh, I almost forgot, you have signed an agreement and donated all the box office. Is it true or false?"
Xie Yu: "Can this be false?"
"The staff of the Poverty Alleviation Office have been keeping an eye on the theater chain. The first batch of 50 million dividends has been taken away by the Poverty Alleviation Office."
"Going against the government and adding political and social influence, don't worry. The theater chain is very disciplined in this regard."
Dong Waner: "Fifty million, it's the first batch. It's so much. I feel really sorry for you, senior."
Xie Yu smiled and said: "Then, why don't you make it up to me?"
Dong Waner rolled her eyes at Xie Yu: "Damn it!"
Then, she slipped down unhygienicly, and soon Dong Waner's head began to shake.
Xie Yu was in a happy mood. In the end, Dong Waner was tired and had a sore mouth, so she continued. Xie Yu was very proud that she didn't use plastic this time.
After two days of being ridiculous together, Dong Waner immediately...
On the 21st day of the film's release, the box office reached more than 800 million, but judging from its potential, it has already passed.
It is unlikely to exceed one billion. After all, although the plot is good and can arouse people's emotional resonance, in the final analysis it is just a low-budget movie without special effects.
Fortunately, at this time, the boss, Wei Xu, took his film to participate in an influential film festival abroad and received many nominations.
After some publicity in the country, the decline was stabilized.
Finally, after winning the Best Original Drama Award and the Original Score Award at foreign film festivals, there were only a few other nominations, but they were pretty good.
Of course, the most important thing is that this film was bought by foreign film distributors at the film festival. With the adaptation rights, the film earned more than 20 million euros.
After exchanging foreign exchange, I still have more than 100 million domestic currency. The important thing is that this money is completely my own.
Xie Yu only signed the domestic box office and returned it to the Poverty Alleviation Office, but the ones sold abroad were still his own.
This caused the domestic box office to keep rising. Xie Yu, who was both happy and heartbroken, finally felt balanced.
It can be seen that Xie Yu is indeed not a good person. Affected by the environment, he has become an animal in the entertainment industry.
Affected by foreign awards, although the film did not receive a delay key, it still ran for 28 days.
The box office also exceeded 1 billion 13.7 million, which also made Xie Yu the 29th director on the domestic film director list with a film exceeding 1 billion.
Especially people in the industry heard that the cost was only two million and the return rate was more than 250 times, which made many entertainment companies go crazy.
They frantically contacted Xie Yu's studio and the studio's customer service staff. This time they finally got it, and Xie Yu opened a job for them.
Not only did he kindly remember the other party's contact information, but he also kindly told the other party that Xie Yu planned to take a year off.
There were hundreds of phone calls every day. Under the temptation of Xie Yu's "overtime pay", the studio's employees took turns to make guest appearances, which was considered a top-notch deal.
After Xie Yurang printed it out, he would just appreciate the admiration for him from the person on the other end of the phone.
Especially for the temperament of the famous female stars, Xie Yu admired and looked forward to it, hoping that he, a dwarf, would have the opportunity to further communicate with them.
On this day, I received another international call. Unexpectedly, it was not from Wei Xu, the boss who was attending a film festival abroad.
And there was a call from a small country in Southeast Asia. After hesitating for a moment, Xie Yu became excited.
A voice over there said: "Congratulations, Director Xie, the box office is 1 billion, it's a big hit!"
Listening to this sour and jealous language, Xie Yu said: "Jiang Yilin, I invited you to participate at that time. If you had participated, you would have been included in the one billion box office. It is not possible to win a Best Supporting Actress award. "
Jiang Yilin: "Stop talking about it. If you talk about it, I will regret it to death. Hey, Xie Chaozi, I have agreed that I will definitely participate in your next movie, no matter how big or small the role is."
Xie Yu: "I haven't seen you for a long time, where are you now?"
Jiang Yilin: "When I talk about this, I get angry. I feel that this well-known director is a bit watery. He always lets us find our own feelings. It has been half a year. I am so embarrassed. I don't know what he is filming."
"There is another thing that is the most disgusting. I was embarrassed to tell you at first, but when I think about your billions in box office donations, you won't laugh at me anymore if I tell you."
Xie Yu cooperated: "What's the matter? How could I laugh at you!"
Jiang Yilin: "When we first entered the crew, this great director seemed to have been prepared for it and directly collected our passports."
"I didn't think much about it at the time, but now it's people who have tricked me. For half a year, I had to ask them to come here for filming for many of my endorsements in China. Because of this, many of my endorsements and commercial performances have been canceled. It's not a waste of time. Said, now I still have to pay."
"What's even more depressing is that you also know that artists will definitely lose points if they don't show up for a long time."
"Not only that, the pie in the entertainment industry is so big and the update speed is so fast. I'm afraid that if I come back to China, I won't have a place."
Xie Yu: "No, no. Although the director Chen Da you are following now is not good in character, he is full of artist temperament. His works often win awards internationally, although he is not too bold at the box office. ensure."
"But for actors who are pursuing and ambitious, all the hard work is worth it. Your agency can get you a second female role, which shows that it has put its best efforts into it."
Jiang Yilin was not satisfied and said: "Xie Chaozi, why do you say that!"
Xie Yu: "Oh, does anyone say that?"
"Heroes see the same thing. Although you have often appeared in film and television works over the past few years here, Jiang Yilin, I found that your acting skills have not improved much."
"Not only that, but the process has gradually become more streamlined. It just so happens that Director Chen is also famous for training actors."
Jiang Yilin: "At this point, what else can we do? This is the only way."
"It's just that I'm a little unhappy. Every time you have a chance, I happen to have something to do here. Can you tell me in advance next time so that I can set aside time for you?"
Xie Yu: "Jiang Yilin, you also know that I am not a prolific director."
Jiang Yilin said unhappily: "Well... if you don't want to, then I'll... next time."
Xie Yu: "Yes, yes, as long as I have some clues next time, I will call you as soon as possible."
Only then did Jiang Yilin say with satisfaction: "Okay, that's it. The international long-distance call charges are too expensive, so I'll hang up first."
After saying that, without waiting for Xie Yu's reaction, he hung up the phone.
Xie Yu said depressedly: "Why does Jiang Yilin dislike the high cost of international long-distance calls? This call is just hurting herself!"
However, in terms of commitment, Xie Yu does feel a little guilty for Jiang Yilin. I feel sorry for her several sacrifices and will try her best to arrange it for her next time!
However, the news from the entertainment industry is just that. In less than a week, without seeing Xie Yu, the reporters accepted Xie Yu’s red envelope, interviewed some of Xie Yu’s classmates, and took some Xie Yu’s red envelope. The photo of Jade also left.
In the entertainment tabloids, after the paparazzi reported that Xie Yu was portrayed as a physically disabled person with a strong will, there was nothing more to say. They went to report on the huge relationship between the superstar so-and-so and his celebrity wife.
The trend of studio employees working overtime to answer phone calls passed, and Xie Yu finally calmed down after giving him a big red envelope.
Xie Yu returned to school and had just made up some courses that he had missed recently.
Until one night in November, while Xie Yu was sleeping soundly, the private phone at home started ringing like crazy.
After it rang several times, Xie Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore and had to get up to answer the phone.
As soon as I picked up the phone, an excited voice on the other side said: "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, I have called you so many times, why did you just answer the phone? You are going to make me mad!"
Xie Yu looked at the caller ID and thought of the familiar voice again, and also cursed: "Boss, you are yelling like a ghost, you have forgotten the time difference, are you too happy to be abroad? It is broad daylight where you are, but it is now in China. It’s two and a half years in the morning and I’m still sleeping!”
The boss, Wei Xu, said: "Sleep, it doesn't matter what the jet lag is, you know? Your movie was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar!"
"That's an Oscar nomination for a foreign language film! The fourth child."
There was a pause.
Xie Yu said in confusion: "Boss, no way, why was he suddenly nominated for the Oscar for foreign language film? There was no warning!"
Boss Wei Xu: "I don't know the specifics. It should be run by Lionsgate Pictures. Let's not talk about it for now."
"I originally planned to return to China to recuperate, but now I can only change my route to the Lighthouse Country to promote and operate for you, and I will be boarding the plane soon, so I won't give you any more nonsense."
"I'm just calling you to get you ready. I guess you won't stop at home. That's an Oscar nomination!"
"In the past history, eight of our films have been nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and only one has won the award. I guess you have a good chance."
Xie Yu: "This, this is so unexpected, but no matter what, in terms of funds, boss, I will open all permissions for you."
Boss: "You're not talking nonsense. Forget it, I'll board the plane first. Let's talk again after I get off the plane and know some specifics."
Sure enough, about three days later, someone from Hollywood's foreign correspondents suddenly sent a congratulatory message to China, saying that "Children of the Mountain" directed by Xie Yuxie had been confirmed to be nominated for the foreign language film Oscar this year.
There have been no domestic films for three consecutive years. When it entered Hollywood, the domestic entertainment industry suddenly exploded.
Xie Yu, who had asked for leave from the school in advance and asked his second son Li Dong to arrange a car to secretly take him to Yangcheng, had "disappeared".
This caused a lot of reporters who rushed to the show to be disappointed.
The employees of Xie Yu's studio also followed Xie Yu's instructions. After hiring a security guard with a good reputation, they entered the studio and became "busy" in a friendly manner.
According to Xie Yu's concept that you don't have to look at hens to like eggs, after finally fooling him.
It's late November.
Xie Yu, who had not signed up for the Capital Film Festival in China, suddenly received an invitation from the Capital Film Festival saying that his film had been nominated for Best Feature Film Director.
This is the highest honor a domestic director can receive, and the Capital Film Festival is the home of Beijing Film and Television Film and Television.
If Xie Yu didn't react, he would definitely offend these two local snakes, which would mean offending most of the vested interest groups in the entertainment industry on his own behalf.
As a last resort, Xie Yu had to ask his second son Li Dong to book a flight ticket for Xie Yu and hurried to the capital.
Due to time constraints, it was quite difficult to buy air tickets at this time, so the second child had to use his connections to "grab" a business class ticket for Xie Yu.
After getting off the plane, naturally there were people from the Capital Branch who arranged everything for Xie Yu, so he could just attend the Capital Film Festival "quietly".
As soon as he entered Yangcheng Airport, Xie Yu saw many young boys and girls holding signs and shouting:
"Zeng Shunyu"
"I love you"
"Wish the film a big win" what?
"Tian Xixi"......
It was so lively. Xie Yu seemed to understand something. This flight was bound for the capital. At this time, the only thing related to these stars was the Capital Film Festival.
Sure enough, after getting on the plane and joining the business club, Xie Yu saw several familiar "celebrities".
Generally, the clothes of celebrities are specially designed and are different from ordinary people. For example, Zeng Shunyu, who is signing an autograph for Ji Ming stewardess, is 1.85 meters tall, has a thin body, and a handsome face. He does have a movie face.
According to the current rough division of resources in the entertainment industry, actresses are divided into newcomers, new little flowers, small flowers, medium flowers, big flowers, and top stars.
Actors are divided into newcomers, new niche students, niche students, middle students, senior students, and the top ones.
Zeng Shunyu was considered a middle-aged student.
And Tian Weiwei is considered a little flower.
The other two looked familiar. Xie Yu couldn't tell her by name. They were probably new flowers. They were in the capital at this time. They were either attending a film festival and walking on the red carpet, or there was an announcement from the company!
No matter what they were doing, Xie Yu found his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
At this time, someone suddenly pushed Xie Yu. Xie Yu took off his blindfold and asked impatiently: "What's the matter with you?"
At this time, a middle-aged woman with an ordinary face said arrogantly: "This young gentleman, I am Yang Chaoyue's experienced person, and I want to discuss something with you."
Hearing the arrogance in this woman's voice, Xie Yu replied unhappily: "What's the matter with you?"
The woman continued: "For the safety of my family, Chaoyue, I want to upgrade an employee of my company."
Xie Yu immediately understood what this meant and said directly: "You want me to change seats with others and go to the economy class."
Xie Yu, who was originally not satisfied with this woman's attitude, said directly: "You can find someone else, I won't change her."
After saying that, Xie Yu had to put on a blindfold.
Thinking of this woman, she directly pulled Xie Yu's blindfold: "Don't worry, don't worry, our company will reimburse you for your air ticket, and it's not a waste to sit in the business class seat for your figure."
Xie Yu hates it most when someone makes fun of his figure, especially when the other person's attitude is obviously different.
Xie Yu glanced at her hard and said, "Madam, pay attention to your attitude and your identity. Do you think I can afford business class, so why do you care about the air ticket?"
After saying that, Xie Yubu ignored her again and put on a blindfold.
The female agent was depressed for a moment, but she couldn't guess Xie Yu's identity, so she could only leave in depression.
