Chapter 831 Your little thoughts are written on your face
""The King's Speech" or "Black Swan"? Oscar judges face a decision" - "Los Angeles Film News"
"Behind the success of literary films is a perfect commercial answer. Natalie Portman, Emma Stone, and Liu Xixi have shown the power of women through movies and will set off a wave of fashion consumption." - "Los Angeles Film Critic"< br>
“Oscars dominate the time and space, and commercial films will be reduced to supporting roles in the Christmas season. In addition to imitating the handsome men and beautiful women in “The Twilight Saga,” Michael Bay’s “The Key to No. 4” also plays a role in “Black Swan” There is nothing good in front of you.”——Well-known film critic
Back to the movie itself.
The premiere of "Black Swan" has ended, and film critics and media have come to express their praise.
It was screened for 231 times in 42 theaters, and topped the single-day box office list with 630,000, and it also stepped on the new film of Michael Bay, the director of "Transformers".
The media didn’t tell lies either.
The film has a neat structure and a delicate plot. The photography, music, and performance are evenly distributed. Even the strong sense of suspense adds points to the entire film.
This kind of movie is much better than brainless youth idol science fiction movies.
And, more intuitive data is, how much does "Key No. 4" cost?
$60 million.
This is more than three times higher than the investment revealed in "Black Swan". As a result, both the average number of viewers and the number of screenings on the day of the joint premiere were not as good as the former.
It is most appropriate to be used as a representative who undercuts the low and praises the high.
No way, who said that Nicolas Cage's extremely bad new movie "Season of the Witch" is not worth mentioning. He is busy paying off his debts and has become synonymous with bad movies for movie fans.
Even the gimmick of reporting is gone.
“It’s stable, it won’t be difficult to hit 20 million US dollars next.” After the premiere, Little John said confidently when looking at the data obtained that day.
In the Christmas season in North America, the first thing to do is to stand out.
When director Darren and starring Natalie Portman heard this result, the smiles on their faces also showed that they were quite satisfied with this result.
"Slumdog Millionaire", the Oscar-winning best picture in the same period last year, only took in a box office of 24.25 million US dollars. There is still a difference between a literary and artistic film and a commercial film.
"Tomorrow our number of games will increase by 30%." Gianopulos smiled and explained to Xiang Yang who was confused about this result.
A movie competing for awards needs continuous popularity.
The results on the first day and the good reputation are enough to prove that "Black Swan" can play a pioneering role in the Christmas period for films that compete for the Olympics.
The next few days
"Natalie, you have to start preparing for the Golden Globe Awards."
Before it can win the Oscar, "Black Swan" still has a key node to pass.
The 68th Golden Globe Awards.
After saying that, Gianopulos couldn't help but look at Little John with envy. Compared with "Black Swan", "The Social Network", which was released earlier, had a huge advantage at the Golden Globe Awards.
“The vision for selecting the script is really amazing.” After praising him sincerely, he looked back and forth between Xiang Yang and Little John.
In the past, he would have assumed without hesitation that this unique vision belonged to Little John.
But now that "Black Swan" has appeared, he feels that it is really difficult to say.
Not surprisingly, the New York Times column on movies also gave a similar argument and triggered widespread discussion.
What Xiangyang and Musk did at the movie premiere was so eye-catching.
Plus Ridley Scott deliberately did not appear.
People who are willing to use their brains will soon fix their eyes on the movie "Black Swan", with an actor who does not take up much space, but has a hidden thread throughout the movie.
That is Liu Qianqian.
Already, she has a work that has been nominated for Oscars and a stage work that is locked for Oscars. Next, she will step out as a guest star to take the lead and star in the global Hollywood movie "Alien Prequel" (Prome) Hughes).
It's hard not to come to a conclusion.
Everything on the red carpet is a warm-up for the movie.
The New York Times, which has analyzed the IP marketing case of "Despicable Me", quickly came to a conclusion. But as a model for the American newspaper industry, they are more willing to devote space to Xiang Yang.
“Designer? Businessman? Or a discerning film investor?” - The New York Times.
The works produced by the Hermès Film Investment Company in the past two years, as well as the following investment projects, the New York Times gave the opinion of
The films this company will participate in production next year , also worth looking forward to!
“Do I have bad taste?” After dinner, Liu Qianqian dragged her tired body back to the hotel and her mind was still excited.
While Xiang Yang was sitting on the sofa to relax, he used his Ipad to browse reports from major media.
When I saw this report, I couldn’t help but feel a little bit amused.
She doesn't have to care about anything else.
But when it comes to movies, her vision in selecting roles is worthy of praise!
Didn’t she fight for "Midnight in Paris" on her own?
Wasn't she the one who chose the role in "Black Swan" from the beginning?
"Then why can't I be a columnist in the New York Times?" In front of Xiang Yang, Liu Qianqian did not hide her competitiveness at all.
"Even so, my wife's vision should also be praised."
Xiang Yang nodded quickly.
He has not forgotten that after reading the script of "Daydreamer" Liu Qianqian wanted to challenge her acting skills and star opposite Ben Stiller.
Let’s talk about the understanding of the role.
She really has something.
It’s a pity
But there’s no need to worry now, the platform is available, she can use it however she wants.
"Sister Bingbing called." She wanted to grab Xiangyang's collar and ask him if he was telling the truth, but before he could do it, the cell phone on the sofa rang.
"Qianxi, you are so awesome!" Li Bingbing praised her as soon as she came up.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Liu Qianqian asked curiously.
"Mr. Xiang, didn't you tell me?"
Li Bingbing's words made Liu Qianqian turn her head and blink at Xiangyang. This stinky guy has always been hiding something from her recently. Pouting her lips, she teased:
"He may not be free today and is busy quarreling with others."
"Haha, that's not what I'm talking about." Of course Li Bingbing also saw the relevant reports, but what she wanted to say was another matter.
In China, taking advantage of today’s premiere of “Black Swan”, there are also continuous reports.
The popularity of HYS offline stores brought about by the video has naturally also appeared in the media's field of vision.
Li Bingbing really admires his ability to carry goods.
In addition to the sales, the announcement of "Black Swan" is also really amazing.
If there is one thing that has been the most talked about in the domestic film industry these two days, it must be the screen-printed poster of "Black Swan". Among the gifts that those who attended the screening received, there was actually a screen-printed poster.
It is also a global limited edition.
This huge surprise made the fans who participated in the screening and won the prize laugh crazy.
Hmm.
Although among the 9 posters, there will be one screen print.
But the value is different.
Some rare screen-printed posters have been purchased for over RMB 10,000.
Here, of course, there is also Liu Qianqian’s exclusive silk screen poster.
in the country, the price of her version is the highest.
Because only 10 of the hundreds of screen-printed posters were distributed for free.
Things are rare and expensive.
What's more, she has local advantages.
Of course, at the more than 200 premieres in North America today, some screen-printed posters were also distributed to fans who came to support the show, but no one has compiled the specific statistics.
It can only be said that Natalie Portman has the most exclusive silk screen posters. She is the star after all.
But even if it is a guest role, Li Bingbing still wants to say that if she has a stage like Liu Qianqian, she will not have to worry about her development in Hollywood.
"This is not entirely my fault, hehe." Hearing this, Liu Qianqian smiled sheepishly. Yoga pants that can perfectly show off a woman's figure are popular because everyone loves beauty.
Besides, she is not the only one wearing it in the movie.
It was just that during that period, it was a little warped.
Li Bingbing laughed out loud and asked jokingly: "Isn't that a little bit?"
"Sister Bingbing, when will you come here?" Liu Qianqian, who was embarrassed, quickly changed the subject. "Social Network"'s public relations for the awards was about to begin.
Strictly speaking, she and Li Bingbing were still competitors this time.
What if
What if I am lucky enough to get nominated.
The nominations for the Golden Globe Awards are usually announced before Christmas in December, and it is already the 22nd.
In other words, the answer will be revealed soon.
"I was just going to tell you about this."
The two chatted for a few minutes, confirmed the itinerary and hung up the phone.
"Don't be too tired. If you rush here and there like this, you may collapse from exhaustion." Xiang Yang said with concern, stroking the hair on top of Liu Qianqian's head.
"Yeah, I know~" Liu Qianqian tilted her head and shrank into Xiang Yang's arms.
Speaking of words, it sounds pretty nice.
Who is it that makes her sleep uneasy?
“You should also take care of your health.” There is something in Liu Qianqian’s words. She will stay in the United States for two days to participate in a series of activities after the movie is released, and Xiangyang will fly to Liverpool early tomorrow morning.
"By the way, Anna gave me a gift, please help me take it back." Liu Qianqian's eyes lit up as she thought of something.
Castle~
"She gave you a gift?"
"I'll get it for you, be obedient and wait for me~" Liu Qianqian stood up, kissed Xiang Yang's cheek and walked happily towards the bedroom cloakroom.
Every two minutes, anxious about her feet, she appeared in front of Xiangyang holding a sealed movie poster.
"How is it? I chose it." Liu Qianqian said proudly.
The meaning of this poster has its origins.
"Why didn't you choose "Metropolis"?" Xiang Yang stood up and looked at it admiringly, then asked curiously.
You must know that the most precious movie poster in the world is based on the comprehensive evaluation of its survival, artistic value of design and historical significance.
"Metropolis" is the most precious.
The Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Berlin Film Museum have collected large copies of it respectively.
The German designer Heines Schulz-Newdam, who designed the poster for this movie, is also known for the 'art deco style' displayed on this poster.
You know, this was designed in 1927!
It not only has a strong visual sense through the contrast between light and dark, but also has a strong mechanical and futuristic sense. It is not an exaggeration to be known as the "jewel in the crown".
At the same time, the French version of the "Metropolis" poster with a completely different style was also considered one of the pioneering representative works of graphic design.
“Where can I buy it?” Liu Qianqian glanced at Xiang Yang speechlessly.
The last time a poster for "Metropolis" appeared was at auction in 2005.
Sold for $690,000.
"I also saw the poster of "Casablanca", but it was too expensive, and I didn't feel embarrassed to open my mouth." Liu Qianqian, who was holding a poster worth more than 100,000 US dollars, said that other posters must be more expensive. The truth.
The movie poster of "Casablanca" is priced at around US$300,000 in perfect condition.
"If you like it, just buy it and treat it as part of our collection." Xiang Yang couldn't help but feel a pity, this is a good opportunity for Anna Wintour.
Why did you stop?
You know, she has made a lot of money with her investment in movies.
Her daughter is even more so.
"Well, I'll ask you when I get the chance next time." Xiang Yang lamented the pity and looked at the poster a few more times. It would be fine if it were a poster for "2001: A Space Odyssey".
It's from "Cinema Lumière".
I can only say that because it is the first movie screening in history, it is a big plus.
"Maybe, Little John will know." Liu Qianqian, who was about to put the posters up, was full of expectations for collecting posters of these well-known movies.
Aiwu and Wu Ma.
She loves movies, and of course she is more interested in movie-related collections.
Moreover, she was not spending money blindly. As early as the 1990s, movie posters had become a new favorite in the collection world, and the prices continued to rise.
Originally, she had no such idea.
Now that Xiangyang has even bought a castle, it needs to be decorated somewhat.
Famous paintings costing tens of millions of dollars easily can’t be bought or appreciated, so it’s not a bad idea to spend some money on things you like.
She also collected the movie posters of "Midnight in Paris" and "Black Swan".
Uh, there's also "Time Traveler".
When the time comes, she will cover the walls of a room with posters of movies she has participated in. Thinking about it, she feels very proud~
"Don't you think that if "Black Swan" is nominated, there should be a special edition?"
"Should my husband's "Midnight in Paris" be reprinted?"
Liu Qianqian deceived Xiang Yang. At that time, I was smiling broadly.
"Reprints are worthless." Xiang Yang would not agree easily.
To put it another way, after nodding her head easily, Liu Qianqian wanted him to design the reprinted poster. This was purely to find work for herself.
Although designers often draw inspiration from across borders.
But don’t tell me, there are many people who have fun with it.
Alexander McQueen’s spring/summer collection one year was inspired by the works of graphic design artists. Also put on the catwalk are Monet's "Water Lilies" and street artists' acrylic spray paintings.
"Monet. "Water Lilies"." Listening to Xiang Yang enthusiastically talking about the similarities between graphic design and fashion design, Liu Qianqian couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
“We don’t buy paintings, but if you use his paintings to make me a dress, I won’t be satisfied.”
"Huh?" Xiang Yang was stunned.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to complain about Liu Qianqian's greed or her little calculation.
Otherwise, let’s buy a painting.
This is simpler.
There are a total of 8 paintings of Monet's "Water Lilies". Four of them are in the museum, so it's a no-brainer.
But it’s not that the other pieces cannot be considered.
Of course, the "Water Lilies" in the auction house and the circular composition "Water Lilies" in the art museum are not the same concept.
"Huh!" Liu Qianqian rolled her eyes.
She thought that Xiangyang would be willing to make her a new dress if she talked about it.
She was not in the mood to chat anymore and said dissatisfiedly:
"Go, wash up and go to bed quickly."
"." Seeing the anger on Liu Qianqian's face, Xiang Yang was stunned.
What's going on? I gave you Monet's "Water Lilies" and you don't want it. What else do you want?
Van Gogh?
Honey, we don’t dare to think about Leonardo da Vinci.
That castle, it doesn't deserve it.
