Chapter 294 Someone has to be ‘offended’ (please vote for me!)
The photo quickly spread to other QQ groups.
Soon it was also posted on Tieba, wearing a scarf.
Many people on the Internet have begun to popularize this well-known Hollywood director. After all, no matter how famous Ridley Scott is, many people in China still don’t know him.
Simply put, he is considered one of the most influential and innovative directors of our time, and a leader in science fiction and epic films.
His works "Alien" and "Blade Runner" are considered classics in the history of science fiction films and had a profound impact on subsequent science fiction films. His works "Gladiator" and "Kingdom of Heaven" show the magnificence and profound connotation of epic movies.
He is a master of visual effects and art design. His works often create shocking scenes and atmospheres. He is also an advocate and practitioner of director's cuts and remains prolific all year round. level.
Of course, Ridley Scott also has shortcomings.
There are certain genres that he is obviously not good at. The political thriller "Body of Lies" is extremely mediocre; the romantic comedy "A Wonderful Year" is neither romantic nor comedy enough.
Box Office To be honest, the box office of many of his movies that are well-known to the audience is shocking.
"The director whose box office appeal is like Schrödinger's cat" is recognized by Hollywood producers, but Ridley Scott is very capable and can always fool major producers into opening the box and finding out what's going on.
The reason is: His name always appears on the annual commercial film DVD inventory.
Ridley Scott's movies are worth recalling. This is the deep impression left by many movies such as "Blade Runner" and "Kingdom of Heaven" on the majority of movie audiences.
The wholesale price of a DVD sold by the studio to the seller is not low.
DVD is about $10-20, Blu-ray is $20-30. The cost of DVD is only 1% of the selling price. The money will all go back to the studio, and the revenue will be almost all net profit.
For a big production.
Profits from DVD rentals, streaming rights and derivatives sales can reach $60 million to $100 million, or even more.
For some films, film production companies receive far more from DVD and other derivative businesses than from theater box office revenue.
Therefore, if the film itself is attractive enough, the studio can still make money from releasing it on DVD.
The sales of the DVD of "Midnight in Paris" are expected to be very good.
The news that "Midnight in Paris" is competing for Oscars was also confirmed immediately.
After all, it is a 'artistic film' that has grossed US$200 million at the global box office. Hollywood professionals and film critics have not forgotten this dark horse film, which cost millions of US dollars to produce. A box office miracle.
Warner is laughing like crazy.
Even in the overseas market, the share they received was only about 40%, they still chose to meet the urgent financial needs of Hermès Film Investment Company through advance payment at the first time.
After receiving the money, Little John transferred the money to the special account of Warner's competitor, Fox Film Company's "The Social Network" with one stroke of a pen.
Then looking at the small investment balance, he cried again.
The money of Hermès Film Investment Company is even poorer than that of Hermès’ sub-brand H.Y.S.
Little John is naturally happy to hear that "Midnight in Paris" is competing for the Oscars, but he said that although Hermès sponsored the film and received generous returns, we do not have money to provide you with public relations.
We can provide clothes and jewelry for free, and forget about the rest.
Chanel and Dior, who were originally sponsored by Anna Wintour, also quickly stood up to express their congratulations to the crew of "Midnight in Paris" for their excellent results.
We can sponsor part of the public relations fees.
Choose from couture gowns to our jewelry collections.
“I didn’t expect that the little guy’s noise was getting louder and louder.”
Although he already knew that Xiang Yangrong had been promoted to the design director of H.Y.S, Karl Lagerfeld still had a crush on him. Maintain the necessary attention.
“I wouldn’t have been subtle if I knew it before.” Seeing Xiangyang’s achievements in more than half a year, Lafayette, who only got to know Xiangyang through his friend Anna, couldn’t help but shake his head.
Unlike Hermès, Chanel attaches great importance to commercial publicity.
In this regard, Galeries Lafayette also attaches great importance to the influence it brings to the brand by integrating with the media to gain more exposure.
From his perspective, Hermès obviously realizes this.
Otherwise, the other party would not have taken such rapid action during this period and proactively disclosed a lot of internal information. The establishment of the sub-brand and the huge gains in film investment have caused Hermès' stock price to rise by an astonishing 30% compared with before the shareholders' meeting.
“At that time, it was too conservative.”
After realizing that it was all related to Xiang Yang, Carl fell into regret.
Because he knows that after a series of operations by Hermès, Xiang Yang must have reached a series of bindings with Hermès. It cannot be said that it is a fantasy to poach the other party to Chanel, but at least it must be Show sincerity at great cost.
How to show sincerity?
"Go and get me the information about the trip to China. I'll take a look at it first." Looking up at his assistant, Karl Lafayette ordered softly.
Hermès’ unusual behavior also surprised Bernard Arnault of LVMH Group.
He was both excited and hesitant.
The excitement stems from the huge benefits that the growth in Hermès’ stock price has brought to him. This shows that his previous prediction of acquiring Hermès was a correct choice, and the hesitation means that in addition to spending more money to complete the acquisition, the other party has realized his small move.
Although it has not been completely exposed, many things have been made clear.
The news that "Midnight in Paris" is competing for Oscars has not only caused reactions in Europe and the United States.
As soon as it spread back to China, netizens combined it with photos of Liu Qianqian at the airport in Italy and the famous Hollywood director.
The discussion became even louder.
Zhuo Wei’s previous report on the ‘Dog Food Couple’, which was serialized over three days, once again sparked discussion.
Because in the photo, Xiang Yang was sitting next to Liu Qianqian at the time, and the intimate interaction between the two verified Zhuo Wei's report that the two were very affectionate.
“Haha, it made me laugh so hard that a celebrity took the initiative to break the news to us.” Feng Ke, Zhuo Wei’s partner, couldn’t stop laughing after answering a call from a certain celebrity. "Lao Zhuo, do you dare to believe it? You also said that you will provide us with compensation." "There is nothing unbelievable about this."
Zhuo Wei grinned disdainfully.
How can he not understand things in the entertainment industry? The other party just wants to ride on the popularity of his current scarf and increase his popularity.
But ‘money’, Lao Zhuo said he wanted to make it.
It’s good to make money, not shabby.
Not to mention there is no money yet
The income of Fengxing Studio is very low. To be honest, the huge expenses he spent on his trip to France are not something that the current celebrity can earn.
Although Xiang Yang and Liu Qianqian invited him to dinner, they did not give him a share of the accommodation fees and round-trip air tickets.
Even if they were willing to give it, Zhuo Wei would be embarrassed to accept the money while licking his face.
Money is something that you have to earn while standing to be happier.
How to make this money, Zhuo Wei was going to think hard, and he could not ruin the reputation he had just created.
"Don't be too arrogant, Oscar has nothing to do with you."
After answering Anna Wintour's call, Xiang Yang frowned when he saw Liu Qianqian smiling and communicating with someone on the phone.
It’s a good thing that “Midnight in Paris” is competing for Oscars.
Xiang Yang is also quite happy. After all, this can attract more people to pay attention to the movie, allowing more people to see the costumes he designed for the movie that contain Chinese elements.
But Lao Lei has said that Liu Qianqian’s acting skills are ‘poor’, and Xiang Yang doesn’t want her to get lost in the praise of the media, fans, and friends.
I don’t know how much I weigh, so that’s okay?
Even the monkey who peed on the palm of Tathagata Buddha could write these four simple words: "Come here for a visit".
But some people don’t.
"I didn't, I was just chatting with Sister Bingbing. Didn't she say she wanted to come over?" Liu Qianqian pouted, glared at the disappointed guy, and said with a smile:
"Brother Xiao Ming is coming too."
"Oh, come on." Xiang Yang nodded and said, "Won't that AB Yang also follow?"
"She won't come." Liu Qianqian giggled, "Brother Xiao Ming knows you don't like it. Him."
"That can't be helped," Xiang Yang shrugged and said with a smile, "The only one I can like is you."
Wen. After saying that, Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes at Xiang Yang. She was already immune to this kind of talk. "When you have time, you should help me think about how you can let me eat ice cream after my mother comes."
"This is a bit difficult." Xiang Yang frowned, sat down on the sofa, and naturally hugged Liu Qianqian, but he couldn't help but wonder.
According to common sense, women don't pay attention to the four words "sour son and spicy woman" during pregnancy.
Why is Liu Qianqian so eccentric and likes to eat sweet and cold things?
"What were you talking about with Anna just now?" Feeling the warmth from Xiangyang's palm touching her belly, Liu Qianqian asked after a moment of silence.
“Let’s talk about Victoria’s Secret.” Xiang Yang pursed his lips.
When I went to see Victoria's Secret, the other party took it very seriously.
The creative director of Victoria's Secret is one of Anna's friends. In addition, Xiang Yang's status in the fashion circle is not low now, and the degree of welcome shown by the other party is far beyond Xiang Yang's imagination.
"It seems you are going to be busy again." Liu Qianqian hugged Xiang Yang and said softly.
Xiang Yang was reluctant to separate from her, and how could she be willing not to see each other for several days in a row. "How about I go with you? Sister Shitou just happened to have an appointment with me, and the crew of "Black Swan" I’m going to take a look too.
What do you think?”
"If the doctor and your mother agree, I won't object." Xiang Yang tightened Liu Qianqian's arms and smiled.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with taking Liu Qianqian to participate in Victoria’s Secret.
I also supported it in the past and stopped by the set of "The Social Network" to have a look.
Just to be honest, commercial shows like Victoria’s Secret are so good at hype.
It gives people the feeling that from choosing the show location, to releasing the cast list, confirming the performers, to model fitting, the models gathering at the airport that day to the photos of the final show backstage, every moment Every progress must be publicized by the entertainment media and fashion media.
No wonder that since 1995, this little-known underwear brand has finally grown to an exaggerated audience of 800 million people around the world.
This kind of all-round hype ability cannot be easily copied by other brands.
However, such an answer obviously made Liu Qianqian feel dissatisfied. She thought to herself: If you listen to my mother on everything, then I will be able to eat whatever I want in the future. After that, she teased:
"Hey, now you have learned to use my mother to block me."
"Then who said our mother has experience? You are the apple of Ms. Liu Xiaoli's eye." Xiang Yang smiled, "You are mine too. My darling.”
"Then tell me, are you willing to offend my mother for your sweetheart?"
As she said that, Liu Qianqian gave Xiang Yang a wink and couldn't help but smile.
Faced with the teasing, Xiang Yang rubbed his nose. He would not contribute his few blood to the proposition.
Old Zhao, Old Liu, and Xiao Liu in front of him, he couldn't afford to offend any of them, and he didn't want to offend any of them.
Although there is no perfect solution, Xiang Yang knows how to change the subject. He smiled and said: "Let's take a look at tomorrow's itinerary. Didn't Lao Lei say during dinner that he wanted to visit the Temple of Poseidon first tomorrow? ”
"Xiang Yang." Liu Qianqian narrowed her eyes with a warm voice.
