1545 [People who really love movies]
In the next few days, summer has been busy leading teams and running activities to highlight Hong Kong movies.
They are the only team of Hong Kong people at this Berlin Film Festival, and naturally they have no choice but to shoulder the burden of promoting Hong Kong films.
At the same time, Zhang Yimou, Gong Li and others were not idle, and also participated in various activities to promote mainland movies.
The two people's itineraries occasionally overlap and sometimes dispersed, but the starting point and end point are the same, both in the presidential suite in the summer.
Because Gong Li will return to the mainland after the film festival, he will spend up to half a month with him. As the saying goes, the good night is short, so naturally, the summer is unwilling to waste time. As long as you have time, you will get tired of being with her.
As for Guan Zhilin and Lizhi, they can meet after returning to Hong Kong anyway, so Xia Tian spends the least time with them, which also makes them very depressed and they are even more jealous of Gong Li.
They also thought of various ways to remedy it, such as playing a deep sisterly relationship in front of him, deliberately wearing very sexual underwear and wandering in front of him, and even staying in the summer room in the name of playing poker at night. However, all the methods were declared invalid, making them both worried, as if they had eaten two pounds of coptis chinensis.
However, what is different from Guan Zhilin and Lizhi's mood is that Xia Tian is in a very good mood.
He participated in many activities, and was very popular everywhere he went, becoming the focus of the venue, making him famous.
The movies he brought not only sold well, but also won unanimous praise from critics. In particular, the three movies, "Rouge", "Blooded Two" and "A Chinese Ghost Story", have received rave reviews.
Film critics commented that "Rouge" is the oriental version of "The Love of Man and Ghost", which is deeply touching; commented that "Blooded Two Heroes" is a masterpiece of police and gangster action movies, which makes people excited to watch; commented that "A Chinese Ghost Story" is an Oriental special effect blockbuster, and the picture effect is not inferior to Hollywood.
As for the two martial arts films "Wong Feihong: Ambitions" and "Hong Xiguan", they are also considered very good action films. Especially "Wong Feihong" is starring Xia Tian, which surprised people. This is the first time they have seen a super rich man with a net worth of 10 billion US dollars fighting around.
A filmmaker asked Xia Tian in surprise, "Mr. Xia, why do you work so hard? You should know that action movies are not easy to shoot, and those actions are very dangerous. If you are accidentally injured, it will be a major loss to you."
Xia Tian nodded with a smile.
The ancient Chinese people have said that a son of a daughter cannot sit in the hall. A wealthy man like him should not take risks easily. However, he just likes movies, so he has no choice but to make him unable to stay idle.
This is a bit like Cheng Long in his previous life. In fact, with his wealth, there is no need to worry about it anymore. The money he earns is comfortable enough to spend the rest of his life. But Brother Cheng Long just stays honestly and still jumps up and down every year, even more troublesome than young men. This is the magic of interest, which is far higher than the pursuit of money.
Xia Tian then explained to him his mood of loving movies and being more willing to film than making money.
After listening to it, the filmmaker nodded in understanding and became more and more respectful to Xia Tian.
Later, Xia Tian's words gradually spread and were reported by the media, which immediately caused a great response.
"I prefer filming than making money." If it were someone else, it would be impossible to escape the suspicion of pretending to be x. However, if this is said by Xia Tian, it would be true.
Because he is indeed qualified to say this, his net worth of 10 billion US dollars is enough to rank among the top 50 rich people in the world. A rich man like him has so many companies and so many things to deal with. If he delays for a while, he may lose hundreds of millions of dollars. However, he still goes to film and becomes the male lead by himself. If he didn't really love movies, how could he do this?
For those who truly love movies, whether they are movie fans, critics, or media reporters, they are fully affirmed. Even if they make bad movies, they are worthy of respect.
For example, Ed Wood, the well-known American king of bad movies, has made more than a dozen movies in his life, but because of his love for movies and his unremitting pursuit of filming, he has also won unanimous praise from future generations.
The famous Hollywood director Tim Burton even made an autobiographical movie for Ed Wood, called "Ed Wood", and he also paid tribute to him in his own directed films such as "Christmas Eve", "The Martian Plays the Earth", "The Dead Valley" and "The Zombie Bride".
The movies made in summer are much better than Ed Wood, so he is more loved and popular with the people. Everyone even gave him a title - "A person who truly loves movies".
After Xia Tian knew that he had obtained this account, he felt very honored and thought it was his greatest praise.
He also knew that having this account would be equivalent to having a gold medal for death. From then on, as long as he made a movie, as long as it was not particularly bad, it would probably have a good box office. Even bad movies might be supported.
Just like the well-known American bad movie "The Room", because it has a bad style and a bad level, it has become a masterpiece of cult films in the hearts of movie fans. Originally, when the movie was released, the box office was only 1,900 US dollars in the first two weeks. Yes, it was less than 2,000 US dollars. However, the audience after watching the movie felt its magic, so they wrote to the director, asking for additional screenings.
Later, a cinema accepted the suggestion to screen the movie once a month, and every time it was filled with fans who supported it. At the same time, the fans also interpreted the movie in various ways and made all kinds of spoofs.
For example, because "spoons" often appear in movies, the movie fans who watch the movie bring a large handful of spoons. When the spoons appear on the screen, they start to throw the spoons and play with it. Therefore, often after watching a movie, the ground is full of all kinds of spoons.
"A person who really loves movies?! This title is really good, and it gains both fame and fortune." Xia Tian smiled happily.
"This is what Hani, you deserve." Guan Zhilin smiled and complimented, "You are such a big boss, such a rich rich man, and you like filming so much. If you weren't 'a person who really likes movies', then I don't think anyone is qualified."
