The box office of the movie, which had been in a slump and had dropped to 10 million a day, soared to 40 million that day.
And the total box office revenue continues to increase. Seeing the increase in box office revenue, the number of screenings has automatically increased a lot. It is now considered one of the top five best-selling movies during the National Day holiday.
An Jingzhi didn't understand what was happening in the country.
When he won the Best Picture award, he had only one thought in his mind: if it was less, he would have lost money!
Fortunately, after winning the award, the film also started to sell well, and those foreign film producers who had ignored him at the beginning came to him and were willing to buy it out at a high price.
This is the layout of the Golden Tiger Awards.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many filmmakers flocking to it.
Hu Chengming, who followed along, felt somewhat disappointed. Although he knew that there was a 99% chance that he would not win the prize, he still felt a little uncomfortable after the fact.
But fortunately, although he didn't win the award, their movie won.
They were both in a good mood. He smiled and congratulated them, "When you go back this time, Director An will be a well-known and renowned director in our country. If you find a suitable role in the future, don't forget me."
An Jingzhi smiled and said, "Brother Hu, aren't you being disrespectful to me by saying that? How could I forget you? Don't worry, we will have plenty of opportunities to cooperate in the future."
"Who knows, maybe we can come again next time, and then you can take home a Best Actor trophy."
Hu Chengming laughed and said, "Then I'm counting on you."
He didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a business exaggeration between the two of them.
Unexpectedly, five years later, he would come to the Golden Tiger Awards ceremony again. This time, he was no longer a spectator, but participated in it and became the protagonist.
Of course, this is a later story.
After the plane landed, An Jingzhi experienced the feeling of being a top star.
I don’t know who leaked the news that he was returning to China today. As soon as he got off the plane, he was blinded by the flashes of a large number of media cameras, which made his eyes hurt.
Hu Chengming smiled and handed over a pair of sunglasses. "Director An might not be used to it. It would be better if you put them on. It seems everyone is looking for you. I'll take another aisle so I don't steal your limelight."
After saying this, he put on his hat and left in a low-key manner to the other side, and no one followed him.
An Jingzhi secretly thought that the reporter was disloyal and could only put on sunglasses to appease the reporter in front of him.
"Everyone please don't crowd. This is a public place and it's not appropriate to crowd like this."
"Let's get out of the way. There are people behind us who need to go. Let's talk to the side."
"How about this, I'll hold a press conference tomorrow. If you have any questions, we can ask them slowly then."
But the reporters who had been squatting all day obviously wouldn't buy it.
"Director An, you won the Golden Tiger Award for Best Film. Many people in China say that you are now the leading director of the younger generation. Do you have anything to say?"
"Director An, Director Zhou said your film's award was pure luck, and the film's box office success was also due to marketing and hype. What do you think?"
"Director An..."
The reporters were talking at once, moving the microphones towards An Jingzhi and taking photos and videos.
An Jingzhi raised his hand and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet!"
"Well, everyone's been waiting for this long, so I'll pick three questions to answer! After that, everyone can go home. The official website will announce the location of tomorrow's press conference, and we'll chat then."
"Let me first talk about the first director of the young generation in China. I don't deserve this title, but I thank everyone for their kindness."
"As for some veteran artists not being happy with it, I understand that. After all, times are changing. Whether a film is good or not is up to the audience to judge."
"Some people think that I've become so successful that I'll forget the original purpose of making movies."
"I can give you a clear answer on this point. I'm far from being successful right now. There are countless seniors who have achieved better results than me. I still need to work hard."
"The original intention of making the film was to help alleviate poverty in Xiaoan Village. I haven't forgotten it now. The Xiaoan Village Film and Television Base has become more complete now. I also look forward to my colleagues coming here to shoot more good works."
An Jingzhi answered three questions in a row. After that, he refused to say anything, no matter how many questions the reporters asked.
Everyone knew from his expression that this was the other party's bottom line. In addition, An Jingzhi was currently in the limelight, and the reporter known as the uncrowned king did not dare to stop him at will.
Half an hour later, An Jingzhi was quietly picked up by the company staff sent by Xu Siming.
His live speech was also posted on the Internet as soon as possible.
An Jingzhi's personal account immediately received a lot of messages.
[As expected of my favorite director, he is both humble and capable.]
[If I say three questions, it means three questions. So cool!]
Director An Jingzhi is truly attentive to public order and has no desire to burden the airport.
[Honestly, Director An's face is more than enough for an actor. He could have relied on his looks to make a living, but he chose to rely on his actual skills.]
…
After arriving at the company, Xu Siming teased An Jingzhi, saying that he was now more popular than a star and had become a star director.
He also suggested that An Jingzhi get an assistant to prevent things like today from happening again, but An Jingzhi directly refused.
Then the two of them got down to business. After listening to Xu Siming's recent report, An Jingzhi said, "Thank you for your hard work during this period."
Xu Siming shed tears of sadness when he recalled how he had to nervously confront the industry giants recently.
"Luckily you won an award, otherwise I really don't know what I would do. He's a veteran artist, and if we confront him face to face, it would be uncultured, showing no respect for the elderly and love for the young. He can't stand losing and can't stand criticism."
