Director of Rebirth of Xiangjiang

Chapter 766 No self-love (for subscription)
"Come to your Xiangjiang to promote?"

"Yes, Isabel, the fans here are looking forward to it, you won't let them down!"

"Is it just that they expect it? What about you?"

"Ahem, don't talk about these, this is talking about work."

"Okay then, tomorrow's flight."

……

Zhao Hong called Ajiani, and felt weird when communicating. Did he still have a little expectation in his heart?
Is it true that a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing?

The box office of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" in Xiangjiang is not bad. It won more than 800 million box office in three days in the first weekend of its release, and its reputation is quite good.

In fact, the box office in Europe is also very good. After about ten days, the box office has hit more than 3000 million US dollars. This figure really shocked Zhao Hong.

You must know that the total box office of his other films here is only more than 3000 million US dollars at most, and it was done in just ten days, which is really a bit fierce.

From here, he saw a problem. Skin color really affects the box office performance in these places. His previous "Butterfly Effect" was not inferior to this at all, and it was even worse in terms of subject matter.

But one of the very real problems is that the actors have different skin colors.

Zhao Hong has nothing to do about this kind of thing, he can only use time to slowly wear it down, so that the influence of Chinese-language movies can take root all over the world.

These years have had some effect. Many conceptualized things in Chinese are gradually becoming known in Europe and the United States. Many artists in Xiangjiang are also familiar.

After Zhao Hong's film was released in Xiangjiang, the film reviews were mixed, but of course the reviews were mostly positive.

He felt that many film reviews were very interesting, and one of them was written by Reynado.

"Seeing the ugliness of human nature, he also saw the brilliance of human nature. A young man in the sexual enlightenment period, Reynado, fell in love with a mature and beautiful young woman, Malena.

Those moments of running wildly on a bicycle in order to meet her and touch her seemed to be chasing their own happiness.

Those petty actions of revenge because they see others slandering the woman they like.

The young man who knelt devoutly in front of the icon in the church and muttered to himself that before I was able to take care of her, please God to protect her.

The young man who witnessed her being forced to sell her body in exchange for humble daily necessities because of the pressure of life, saw her being embraced by those secular men in the arms of the young man who was filled with grief and indignation.

Who can understand the bitterness, resentment, and jealousy mixed in that?

This is a teenager's first love.

I will remember that when the woman was spurned and insulted by the townspeople, the teenager's tears flowed like those unspeakable pains.

And on the platform, the boy watched the woman he had always loved leaving the town in despair, and his eyes full of reluctance and love witnessed the train drifting away, as if extending the boy's longing to Like the distance, I think even though the train took her.

But the love of a young man cannot be overcome by any time and distance. This young man is so persistent in love, and his love is so unforgettable...

"Time flies, and I have loved many women. When they asked me in my arms if I would remember them, I said yes, but what I will never forget is the woman who never asked me. She That’s Malena.”—Reynardo…”

This film review interpreted the film from another angle, which deeply touched Zhao Hong. In fact, he also felt this way when shooting, but he was very restrained in shooting.

I have always used Renardo as a tool man, serving as all the links of the movie.

This is actually to highlight all the encounters of the heroine Marlena and the complex human relationship between people.

Zhao Hong just wanted to laugh after reading Huang Laoxie's film review, as always his style.

"Speaking of whore, who doesn't desire to fuck her once?? Talking of whore, who doesn't desire such a beauty?? This is what God bestowed..."

""The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" is a legend about "beauty", but this "beauty" makes people feel sad and regretful.

In the film, the director uses the most beautiful shots to express this beauty very vividly, and the "beauty" even appears in the film when Malena is beaten by a group and her hair is cut, which also appears to be full of sad and beautiful colors.

In semiotics, the individual "Marlena" is actually attached to the signifier of the word "beautiful".

Therefore, through Malena, the individual of visual gaze, we see various "gazes" towards Malena..."——Film Biweekly
Zhao Hong found that the film critics of the film biweekly are becoming more and more professional. These years, DreamWorks has been leading the development, but the sales growth has not been ideal.

The reason is that this magazine is too professional, and many movie fans don’t like it very much. They all like the kind of light-hearted newspaper.

But "Movie Biweekly" has never had anything to eat, never followed the trend of gossip news, and has always been determined to report some insightful film reviews.

In this case, the audience is relatively small.

Even with the distribution network throughout Southeast Asia, the sales volume of each issue is only about 20 copies.

But the gold content of this newspaper is extraordinary. This is a magazine that many filmmakers must subscribe to.

After Ajani and the others arrived in Xiangjiang, they did a day of publicity.

This directly caused a huge response.

At present, Adjani's popularity in Xiangjiang has directly reached its peak, and as for Xiao Lizi, their popularity has skyrocketed.

In fact, this is of little use to them. The main reason is that the current western movies here are not very popular. Only when Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" is released in a few months will it improve.

This movie was shot on an island not far from the Xiangjiang River, where a dinosaur paradise has been built.

"Zhao, I feel that the development of Xiangjiang has great potential and is full of vitality. It is really unbelievable for England to lose here!"

After wandering around Xiangjiang, Ajani felt the unique charm of this city, but she couldn't understand why Yinglun would give up this dazzling pearl.

"Haha, Britain has weakened, and a great Eastern country that stands tall in the world is rising. They have no choice but to hold it in their hands."

Zhao Hong said with a little pride.

For the unification of the country, he has an indescribable excitement in his heart, and now he only wants to return to the embrace of the motherland as soon as possible.

Some time ago, under his leadership, many Chinese capital supported the Governor of Hong Kong, but it was not the same.

Ying Lun vowed to transfer him away, the purpose of which was self-evident, and they would not be reconciled if there was no cholera in Xiangjiang.

This matter has already been settled, and the next governor of Hong Kong is about to be announced, that is, the British hawk Pang Dingkang.

Zhao Hong was not too surprised by this. This was something that happened in the original time and space, and many historical wheels cannot be moved by him.

After Ajani came to Xiangjiang, there were several friendly matches between Zhao Hong and her.

In the end, he recommended him to develop in Hollywood, and prepared several commercial blockbusters for her, which is worthy of this love.

He planned not to have any troubles in the future.

Zhao Hong is basically letting himself go during this time, giving himself a little space, and he plans to start making preliminary preparations for the novel he planned after a period of rest.

What I want to talk about is his last novel "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", the novel of the same name, the current sales volume is really skyrocketing, especially in Europe and America, the sales volume is really amazing.

It has sold 500 million copies so far, more than half of which were sold in Europe and America.

He also expected such a result.

Although this novel did not take too much energy, it cannot be said that it is not good enough, and it is still added together with the movie of the same name. It is hard to think about the sales.

This novel is in line with the tone of many Europeans and Americans. World War II is something that has always been deeply in their minds. As long as there are excellent novels or movies related to this matter, they will receive special attention.

"Young Master Hong, why haven't you been interviewed by the newspaper during this time? Are you desperate for your movie box office?"

"Recently, film critics have taken different attitudes towards your films, and think that winning the Golden Bear Award is a bit overestimated. What do you think of this?"

"Also, when will you and Ms. Zhao get married? Some time ago, I saw Ms. Zhao holding a child. How many children is this?"

……

Zhao Hong had nothing to do and saw Yazhi attending a charity event, so she went to join in the fun. Unexpectedly, she was caught by reporters as soon as she arrived at the scene.

Seeing their excitement beyond words, he was also a little drunk, as for?

"...I don't accept interviews because I still like a relatively low-key life and don't want to live in the spotlight all the time. As for saying that I don't care about the movie box office, it's purely a rumor. Every movie ticket is an affirmation of myself. , It’s just that most of the time I hope that everyone will like my movie, so I go to see it, instead of going to see this movie because of my personal talent.”

"As for some people saying that this movie is not worthy of the Golden Bear Award, I would like to ask what kind of movie can win the Golden Bear Award here? Some people only know a little about movies and talk nonsense in newspapers. Could it be that their appreciation level is better than that of the Golden Bear Award? Are the judges in Berlin even better?"

"Do you want them to teach others how to review films?"

"As for the matter between me and Yazhi is purely private, I won't talk about it here, and everyone should not report too much, it's meaningless."

……

After Zhao Hong answered a few questions from the reporter, she stopped accepting interviews.

He didn't want to be interviewed at first, but during this period of time when "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" was released, a lot of ghosts and ghosts appeared, and there was a lot of random comments on this movie.

Turning a blind eye to the technology or shining points of the film itself, and clinging to the colorful parts of the film, is it interesting?

There are also rumors that he doesn't care about the box office. I really don't know what to say.

The next step is to wholeheartedly participate in charity activities. In fact, this is an AIDS relief donation activity. For this thing, I can only do my best and obey the destiny.

Every year, their company's funding for this is also very high, at least more than 1000 million Hong Kong dollars.

In addition, an AIDS research center has been established, investing more than [-] million yuan each year to study drugs in this area.

He didn't have much hope for this kind of thing, at most he just wanted to develop some inhibitory drugs.

"Well, the AIDS epidemic in Hong Kong has been on the rise in recent years. These people really don't love themselves."

Seeing that many people suffering from AIDS are young men and women, Yazhi said with a bit of hatred.

After hearing this, Zhao Hong was a little speechless. This thing has the highest probability of contagion through exchanging body fluids. She is young and energetic, and hangs out in bars or disco.

The young ladies in these places are pretty good looking. After a few glasses of wine, what happens after that can be predicted.

If you hang out in such a place for a long time, there will always be times when you will be infected.

He knew the relevant information, this thing is most popular in Africa, Xiangjiang is just a trivial matter.

A year is just a few thousand people, while in Africa it is several million people a year.

It's scary to think about!
Good thing niggers aren't his thing!
"Red, I want to go to the cinema to watch your current movie."

"Isn't there a movie theater in the villa?"

"That won't work, there is no atmosphere like this."

"Okay, let's put on makeup before we go!"

"Boom, I knew you would agree."

……

Qingxia burst into tears after watching "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" in the cinema.

"Marlena's fate is too rough, why are those people in this town so bad?"

"Hehe, everyone has a desire to destroy beautiful things. This is human nature. Malena is out of tune with other people in the town. She is like a phoenix among a group of chickens. We also become local chickens, so everyone can feel at ease."

"The beautiful and sexy, but weak and sensual Malena is placed in a cruel, ugly, greedy and cruel patriarchal social environment to show her own value and significance, and to show the tragic theme that the film wants to express. Red, really , this movie was well shot, if only I had a movie like this."

"Don't worry, as long as you want to have such a masterpiece, I will help you complete it."

……

After Zhao Hong and Qingxia watched the movie, they discussed every plot in it together, and instead of going back directly after leaving the movie theater, they strolled on the streets of Xiangjiang.

Holding hands, so affectionate!

"It's been a long time since I walked on the street. There have been basically no changes on this island in recent years."

Qingxia looked at the surrounding buildings and said with a little emotion.

"Well, after the development here in Tianshuiwei, it began to slow down. The main reason is that the streets are too narrow, although the fireworks are relatively strong..."

Zhao Hong talked about some disadvantages of the island. Over the past few years, many wealthy people have gone to Tianshuiwei, which has caused the housing prices here to remain relatively low and increase in price.

The chain reaction is that there are not too many new buildings.
