Chapter 225 Harper's Bazaar

The box office of "Founding of a Republic" continues to rise.

Many media predict that this movie will break the box office record of "Assembly", and it is only a matter of time before it exceeds 400 million. If nothing unexpected happens, this tribute film will also be the box office champion this year.

When "Love Has Next Life" was released, the box office was just around 7 million. Perhaps all the funds were spent on filming, so there was not enough publicity. In addition, the "Yu-style" literary and artistic style does not fit the current traffic movies.

According to media reports, there were even situations in some cinemas where only six viewers were watching a screening.

The first-day box office of "The Whistleblower" in China exceeded 1200 million.

According to feedback from theaters, on the first day of its release, The Whistleblower had the same or even slightly higher number of screenings as The Founding of a Republic, and together they shared most of the day's box office.

The long-awaited support from movie fans, coupled with the upcoming National Day holiday, will surely push the box office of "The Whistleblower" to a peak, and there is no doubt that it will exceed 100 million yuan in the first week.

“A rare spy film in a decade.”

"This is a film that showcases the acting skills of the actors to the extreme, and these leading actors tell us what acting skills are.

This is also an extremely sincere movie. The pictures and scene arrangements are all very attentive, the plot is very fascinating, and the script is very good.

The best part is that this film can actually be linked to the main theme.”

Movie fans have sharp eyes and can tell whether a movie is good or not at a glance.

“Personally, I feel that The Sound of Wind is too deliberate and blunt, and the logic is not rigorous enough.”

"The actors performed well, the music was good to me, but the script was really bad."

Seeing a new round of negative reviews appearing online, Huayi Company also launched emergency public relations.

This year's Harper's Bazaar announced the list of invited guests on Weibo.

There are hundreds of first- and second-tier artists listed on the list, which is much larger than in previous years.

Both Gu Wei and Liu Yifei received invitations, and the invitation letters were sent to the company.

"You go ahead. I don't want to get involved."

Gu Wei directly refused to attend, but Liu Yifei was very interested.

On that day, the young lady dressed exquisitely and went to the scene.

What a great charity gala, but it was run like a film festival.

A red carpet was laid outside Yintai and many reporters were present.

Cheng Long and his son, Xiao Wang, Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun...

Hu Jun, Huang Xiaoming, Zhao Yanzi, Chen Kun…

Most of the famous stars in the circle were there, and it seemed that Su Mang still had some talent.

Afterwards, according to the data released by Bazaar on Weibo.

A total of 3100 million was raised that night, of which Cheng Long contributed about half.

"Hundreds of people donated 3100 million yuan. What are the others doing there? It's better not to go."

After reading the report, Gu Wei couldn't help but complain.

In the film industry over the past two years, the problem of riding on popularity and traffic has become increasingly serious. Except for a few celebrity artists who are keen on charity, others seem to use this as a tool to increase their reputation.

It’s no wonder that the country later reformed the film industry and arrested a few typical examples to serve as a warning to others. The root of everything was fabrication.

...

On October 10, the 17th Golden Rooster Awards ceremony was held in Nanchang, hosted by Zhang Guoli.

"Founding of a Republic" was taken off the screen the day before, and with a box office of 4.2 million yuan, it broke the domestic film box office record held by "Assembly", and unsurprisingly, it is also this year's box office champion.

"The first Chinese director to reach the 400 million box office club is born."

When Han Sanping saw the media reports, his wrinkles on his face burst into laughter. "The film is mainly for tribute and to promote national culture."

Han Sanping said this modestly. After all, he was just a name on this movie and barely participated in the filming. It mainly depended on a few assistant directors.

"Boss Han, congratulations! You're the first director to make 400 million in box office."

Gu Wei called, said congratulations first, and then chatted with Han Sanping for a few words.

"Haha, stop talking nonsense, keep a low profile."

Even through the phone, they could feel the other person's happiness, and they spoke in a low-key manner. Gu Wei shook his head, and the two said a few more words and hung up.

Interviews with Han Sanping can be found everywhere in the news about the film and television industry.

In the news photos, he looked radiant. Come to think of it, a movie with a cost of 30 million yuan had a box office of over 400 million yuan. Such a profit is something that all the film and television companies in the circle would envy.

Lu Yang took "Blind Cinema" to participate in the Busan Film Festival awards ceremony in mid-October.

The 15th Busan International Film Festival will close on the evening of the 15th.

On the morning of the same day, the organizing committee held a summary press conference, and "Blind Cinema" directed by mainland director Lu Yang won the "KNN Film Award", the most popular award among audiences.

Last year, the winner of the award was Jiang Wenli's debut film "See You in Heaven", and another inland director Guo Hengqi's film "New Castle" won the Busan Film Festival Seminar Award.

In addition, Lu Yang also successfully won the "New Wave" Award, winning both awards out of two nominations.

Gu Wei had given advance notice, and with the help of CJ Company, it was expected that "Blind Cinema" would be nominated for an award.

However, these two awards are minor prizes. After all, the Busan Film Festival is a regional film festival, and the main awards should be reserved for other domestic films.

"I am very satisfied to win the award. Besides, the copyright has been sold, so I have made back my investment and earned a little money at the same time."

That night, Lu Yang called Gu Wei.

The online media only reported it briefly without mentioning it in detail, and their main focus was still on this year's Golden Rooster Awards.

Thanks to Xinlang Weibo for giving Lu Yang the headline for winning the award.

"Lu Yang's directorial debut won the Busan Film Festival Grand Prize."

"Two nominations and two wins, Beijing Film Academy has produced another famous director."

...

The Golden Rooster Awards ceremony on the 17th was uneventful, and many people seemed to know the results in advance.

The biggest winner was Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly", which won four awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best Music.

That’s why the Golden Rooster Awards share the cake. Chen Kaige’s "Mei Lanfang" also won the Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor awards.

Well, it’s not the first or second time that the golden rooster has laid double yolk eggs.

This time, even the Best Actress awards were won by Zhou Xun and Jiang Wenli together, with Zhou Xun becoming the first actress in a Chinese-language film to win three Golden Globes awards.

The movie "Li Mi's Conjecture" made Cao Baoping famous for himself. Although he did not win any awards, he produced a Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress and still attracted the attention of people who are not in the circle.

After all, for those in the circle, awards and box office are also valued by celebrities and artists, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many people devoting themselves to “art”.

Early the next morning, netizens started discussing it on Tieba, Tianya Forum, and Weibo.

"The award ceremony hasn't even started yet, but the list of winners has already been revealed. Does this mean the Golden Rooster is authoritative?"

"The first actress to win three Golden Globes awards, well-deserved."

"Painted Skin 2 is about to wrap up, and Zhou Xun left directly after the award ceremony and returned to the crew."

Regardless of whether it is positive or negative reviews, the reputation of the Golden Rooster Awards is getting worse year by year.
