    "Ladies and gentlemen, it is a great honor to have so many friends here today. On behalf of the entire crew of "A Better Man", 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 Mu Sheng stood up and spoke amidst the warm applause of the audience. The smile on his face could not be concealed, and his whole face was red, like a  Qiong Diaosi just won 5 million, and from now on he can become the general manager, serve as CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach 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 shouted: "I'm so stupid!" What's more, "A Better Day" is a very pure representative of Hong Kong movies. It is not a co-production model like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with the participation of multiple countries and regions. This is why  It feels 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 calm and careless about money and glory, 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.  No way, commercial movies are actually similar to sports competitions.  Even after it¡¯s released.  Considered a piece of shit by many people.  But as long as the box office is high, it's like having an ugly style of play but winning the championship in the end. The winner should not be criticized, because the result is 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 looked at the starring actors Xie Tingfeng, Tang Xiaosha, Wu Jing, Fang Ming, etc. who were sitting on his left and right amid everyone's laughter.  , then said with a sincere smile: "Although the director plays a big role in the success of a play, it is also inseparable from the full performance of the actors and the joint efforts of many people behind the scenes. I believe that all  Everyone understands!" Just as everyone nodded silently, he suddenly raised his voice: "So. I also want to say thank you to all the cast and crew of this film, and thank you for your hard work.  Everyone¡¯s dedication. You are all the best, and I sincerely hope that we can continue to cooperate.¡± This last sentence was almost shouted, which fully showed his sincerity, and the whole audience immediately cheered.  There was thunderous applause, and all the leading actors on the stage also smiled and applauded, and the atmosphere at the scene became more enthusiastic for a while.  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 my fellow reporters, haha, so, we have  I would like to invite the international distributor of this film, Mr. Jiang Zhiqiang from Anle Pictures, to come on stage and briefly introduce to us the specific box office data of this film around the world." "Pa bang bang bang" Undoubtedly, when  After 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 Men" around the world.  They only know how much box office it has achieved 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 Jiang Zhiqiang, the "promoter of Chinese-language films", is going to announce specific box office data around the world, the reporters are so excited!  Of course, I applauded vigorously immediately.  Well, in fact, this aspect is also a topic that most of the guests present are very interested in. After all, everyone is an insider 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 heaven-defying 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 imitate Li Yu in filming classical martial arts, such as "Hero", "The Promise", "Man City"  How about "Bringing the Golden Armor"?  Still studying??Is "A Better Man" a good urban action film?  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 has led 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 US dollars and even won the Golden Globe and Oscar awards!  To be honest, it¡¯s really 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.  Throwing money in the direction, the so-called Olympic films and big productions have 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 content of the performances are almost all palace dramas with different waistcoats. Do you want to let people live like this? Your sister, you can't.  Can we 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 film 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 and insiders, as well as their huge entourage, all 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 a recommender of this movie in the European and American markets, he can extract several percentage points from the total revenue of Universal, which is equivalent to a net profit of tens of millions for him.  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 share of the work 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 and hugged Chen Musheng with a smile on his face, and then without much nonsense, he directly spoke in Cantonese: "I remember this play.  When the project was first set up, I told Director Chen that I also wanted to invest in it, because Director Chen set up this film very well. It is not the stereotypical Hong Kong police and gangster film model, and it will probably be very popular, but  It's a pity that Lin Sheng (the boss of Huanyu) also has a very good vision, so I was declined by him!" Chen Musheng said modestly: "Jiang Sheng was overrated. In fact, I didn't expect to achieve this result. "  Lin Xiaoming, who was sitting in the audience, just smiled and looked very happy, but in fact he was cursing secretly in his heart: "That's pure nonsense. If you really liked this drama at that time, I would have considered it."  You definitely want it! You don¡¯t have to worry about not being able to recoup the cost!¡± Yes, when he was filming this movie, he planned to work with Anle and Meiya, but it was a pity that Jiang  When the bosses of Zhiqiang and Meiya heard that they wanted to invest 60 million Hong Kong dollars, they immediately felt that there was no profit and might even be a loss, so both companies simply refused.  In the end, Lin Xiaoming got frustrated, and after a long period of struggle and thinking, he decided to take a gamble and start shooting.  Of course, he will not tell the past things, because telling Anle and Meiya would be a slap in the face, which will not do him any good, so it is better to let him take advantage of them.  After all, from another aspect, it just shows that you have a very good vision, doesn¡¯t it?  Of course, the people present didn't know Lin Xiaoming's little thoughts, so after they smiled, they still looked at Jiang Zhiqiang, waiting for him to continue.  (To be continued)
