My ex-wife is a big star

Chapter 281 Show
Jiang Shu thought for a while, but still agreed: "My honor."

Both of them are alone, and it's okay to walk a red carpet together.

But Jiang Shu was a little worried, wondering if this woman would rub the red carpet maliciously.

Although this situation is relatively rare.

But if they really met, it would be embarrassing to be dragged along by her!
"But... I'm in a hurry." Jiang Shu continued: "My wife has already gone in. She doesn't seem to be feeling well. I have to go in quickly to find her later."

What he actually meant was that he would be faster on the red carpet later.

But it's not easy to say this directly, otherwise the other party may think... What do you mean?It implies that I want to hit the red carpet, right?
"So your wife is here!" Elsa was a little surprised.

"You know I'm married?" Jiang Shu was slightly surprised.

"I have seen the news."

Jiang Shu is really a little surprised, what the hell are you still following my news?
As an American, if she didn't search for this kind of news, she would definitely not be able to see it.

"I've seen your work and I like it very much." Elsa smiled.

"Uh, thanks!"

"You seem surprised." Elsa smiled and said, "Because I pay more attention to the Oscar-nominated works every year. I have read your "Love Letter", and I also want to watch "Spirited Away", but I haven't found any genuine resources. , but here, it will soon be seen.”

Spirited away is the English translation of Spirited Away.

If the name "Spirited Away" is translated directly into English, it may confuse them.

The translation of spirited away is straightforward, which means "to be taken away".

But here, of course, it should be translated as "Shenyin".

This is also the English translation of the original world Spirited Away, so Jiang Shu simply used it.

"Since your wife is here, it's a rare time to let her walk the red carpet with you!" Elsa laughed.

The red carpet of the film festival is indeed not just for those who bring their works to the competition.

Anyone invited by the organizers and sponsors can walk the red carpet.

Sponsors usually invite their own brand spokespersons, but it's a pity that Chanel didn't sponsor the Berlin Film Festival, otherwise Su Shu could justifiably walk the red carpet.

As for the organizer's invitation, there is a lot of room for maneuver.

To put it bluntly, if you have a good relationship with the organizer and they nod, you can go on the red carpet.

If Jiang Shu told the organizer that he wanted to take his wife on the red carpet this time, the other party would most likely give him face.

But Gu Yaoqing didn't let Jiang Shu apply, her character is like this, if it's not her own, don't want it.

"She is not feeling well, and she seems a little unsuited to the climate here." Jiang Shu responded briefly.

The red carpet show will soon begin.

People may think that the red carpet distance at such a grand Berlin International Film Festival should be very long.

But in fact, the length of the red carpet is only 60 meters.

This length is not as good as the red carpets of domestic award ceremonies such as Feitian Awards and Dragon Phoenix Awards.

But that doesn't stop it from being one of the most eye-catching film festival red carpets in the world.

Most of the front of the red carpet is the audience area, and the left and right sides are surrounded by movie fans.

The last ten meters or so is the area where media reporters take pictures.

The red carpet scene was actually very noisy, the audience cheered and screamed one after another, and most of them were shouting the names of the stars.

This scene is no different from domestic fans.

There are also many Chinese who have come to the present. When they gathered together, they saw Jiang Shu in a suit and bow tie walking on the red carpet, and they shouted Jiang Shu's name in the crowd of onlookers.

There are a total of 19 works in the main competition section of this year's Berlin Film Festival, and Jiang Shu is the only one from China, so it can be said that he is a single seedling.

Hearing the voice, Jiang Shu walked over to greet them briefly.

Seeing so many Chinese in a foreign land, I still have some kindness.

As for Elsa, fans on both sides also have her own fellow Americans.

Although she may not be that famous in the United States, in this place, as long as she is from the same country, she will definitely spare no effort to give you applause.

Now in China, there is a video platform that broadcasts the opening red carpet of the Berlin Film Festival.

Because of the time difference, the opening time of the film festival in China is 1:30 in the morning.

However, the live barrage is very lively, and there are obviously quite a few people waiting until now.

Anyway, among young people nowadays, there are many night owls.

At this time, the live broadcast camera finally fell on Jiang Shu.

The barrage immediately exploded into flowers.

"Brother Jiang!"

"Ahh! Brother Jiang is so handsome! I envy the Chinese audience at the scene!"

"I waited for two hours, just for this one!"

"It's a pity that my wife is not around."

"..."

Because Jiang Shu was not the only one on the red carpet, the camera would definitely not follow him all the time.

With his current status in the international film industry... it's not bad if the camera can give him a while.

The live broadcast camera will definitely be eccentric, and the main priority is to focus on the famous international directors and actors, and it is impossible to share the rain and dew for everyone.

But ten seconds later, the live broadcast camera cut to other people on the red carpet.

"Damn! Why don't you show me this?"

"At this point, just show it for ten seconds?!"

"The director pays attention to the timing of entering the factory!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, there must be Brother Jiang behind!"

"..."

At this time, many movie fans had already handed Jiang Shu the prepared pens, excitedly asking him to sign.

Jiang Shu, who took the pen, was in a daze for a moment.

Since the popularity of smart phones that can take pictures, fewer and fewer people want to sign.

He seldom goes out, and when he occasionally meets fans, they always want to take photos with them.

On the one hand, it may be because the other party did not bring a pen.

On the other hand, people nowadays really want to take photos together, after all, they can post them on Weibo Moments for a laugh.

As for the fans here, they have to sign because Jiang Shu can't take photos with them now.

Among them is a European and American girl who also came to ask for an autograph.

"Do you know me?" Jiang Shu signed it for her and asked along the way.

This person can't even sign his signature indiscriminately!
"I like Love Letters."

"Thank you."

Jiang Shu quickly signed seven or eight people, which took about 30 seconds, an average of four seconds.

Then he waved goodbye to them.

This has to be signed all the time, and the signing cannot be completed within 5 minutes, and while signing, there are more people queuing up.

Jiang Shu and Elsa walked to the media area side by side, facing the left and right media reporters respectively, and posed a few simple poses at random.

There are also domestic media among them, and they must be paying the most attention to Jiang Shu.

At this time, the live broadcast camera finally returned to Jiang Shu and Elsa beside him.

"Huh? Who is this beauty?"

"Brother Jiang found a companion [狗头] so quickly"

"One person on the red carpet is indeed a bit lonely, it is reasonable to find a partner [狗头]"

"..."

But seeing Jiang Shu's right hand in his pocket, Elsa's left hand grabbed Jiang Shu's wrist.

The barrage is even more exciting.

"Rumours, rumors!"

"Did you see the rumor?"

"Brother Jiang is hardened [狗头]"

"I bet, rumors definitely don't care about [狗头]"

"..."

Netizens are deliberately making fun of it. In fact, there are many married celebrities on the red carpet holding hands with other opposite sexes.

Jiang Shu also avoided it as much as possible, and did not hold hands with Elsa.

After standing like a model in the media area for 30 seconds, Jiang Shu and Elsa walked towards the venue.

Some heavyweight directors or actors also have the opportunity to be interviewed by reporters on the spot in the media area.

However, Jiang Shu's current coffee position obviously hasn't reached this point yet.

Walking into the opening ceremony venue, Jiang Shu and Elsa were about to say goodbye.

"When you go to Los Angeles, we may still have a chance to meet." Elsa said with a smile: "Good luck!"

"Thank you." Jiang Shu thanked him with a smile, and went to find his wife.

Jiang Shu knew that what she meant was that she would go to Los Angeles to attend the Oscars next month.

Jiang Shu only applied for Berlin and Oscar for "Spirited Away".

If he really wants to win more awards, there are still many awards he can apply for.

For example, the Annie Award specially established for animation, this award has a high gold content in the circle, but its popularity in the eyes of passers-by outside the circle is far less than that of the Oscars.

There are also European Film Awards, Toronto International Film Festival, Asian Film Awards, Hong Kong Film Awards, Dragon and Phoenix Awards...etc.

At least a dozen more can be reported, and the major awards ceremonies alone will have to run for half a year.

Among them, the Toronto Film Festival is not a category A film festival, so you can apply.

In fact, the so-called category A and category B film festivals always make people think that category A is better than category B.

But in fact, they are not divided by rank, and no one is more noble than the other.

Just like the Shanghai International Film Festival, which is a category A film festival, its gold content and influence are still not as good as the Toronto International Film Festival, which is a category C film festival.

They are just different in nature.

Type A film festivals are mainly competitions, with a jury, and there is no specific theme for the film festival.

C-category film festivals do not focus on competitions, there is no jury, and they focus on film screenings.

It's just because the C-category film festival does not focus on awards, so in terms of topic discussion, the Toronto Film Festival, which is the leader in the C-category, still loses to the three major film festivals in the A-category.

After all, people who eat melons still prefer to pay attention to who won the Golden Bear Palme d'Or, who won the best actor and best actress.

It sounds awesome!

Over time, people who don't know the relevant knowledge will mistakenly think that the A-category film festival is the best...

"I just watched the live broadcast of the opening ceremony on my mobile phone. My husband is really photogenic, so handsome!"

As soon as Jiang Shu sat next to Gu Yaoqing, she laughed.

"Thank you."

"Who is that beauty in Soyi?" Gu Yaoqing asked with a smile, her tone very gentle.

"One of my little American fans."

"Small? I think she is at least older than me?"

Jiang Shu glanced at her chest: "It can only be said that she is a little older than you."

"Honestly, do you think she is pretty?" Gu Yaoqing asked seriously.

Jiang Shu shook his head: "I really can't appreciate the looks of Europeans and Americans, but I still think my wife is the most beautiful!"

"Cut~~ Do you need to say that?"

"..." Jiang Shu turned on his phone and glanced at the box office information.

Today is the sixth day of the Spring Festival stalls, and it is also the last day of the Spring Festival holiday. I will go to work tomorrow on the seventh day of the lunar month.

The six-day box office of "The God of Medicine" has already amazed countless people.

33.3 billion in three days and 54 billion in six days.

However, starting tomorrow, after the start of work, the movie box office will definitely drop even more.

In other words, the follow-up box office will definitely gradually weaken.

Of course, this "weakness" is also relative.

As for the total box office of "The God of Medicine", it must be stable if it breaks 70 billion.

As for whether it can reach 80 billion, it can only be said that there is a certain possibility.

One of the important reasons is that the unit price of movie tickets during the Spring Festival is expensive.

The current box office champion "Spirited Away" has an average ticket price of 38 yuan.

However, the final average ticket price of "The God of Medicine" in the Spring Festival stalls should be around 48 yuan.

A ticket is 10 yuan more expensive.

If the two films had the same number of viewers, the latter's total box office must be much higher.

As for the box office, the most important thing is to see how many people are willing to go to the cinema to consume.

The upper limit of the box office market is closely related to the upper limit of the number of viewers.

This depends on the social and economic environment. When the economy develops well and the people are well-off, they will be willing to spend on entertainment such as movies.

When Japan released "Spirited Away" in 2001, the number of movie viewers accounted for 18.5% of the country's population, and that was 20 years ago.

If China can have this ratio now, with 14 billion people, the number of moviegoers should be 2.59 million.

But judging from the current box office record of 62 billion, the number of domestic movie viewers is about 1.63 million.

However, the number of people does not represent the number of people, because there must be someone who brushes twice or even three times.

The number of viewers is about 1.5 million, which is the highest record for domestic films.

If God of Medicine can also have 1.63 million moviegoers, based on the average ticket price of 48, the total box office can reach 78 billion.

But it may not be possible to achieve such a high number of visits.

One of the main reasons is that the theme of "The God of Medicine" is still too bitter, which is not friendly.

It can be seen from the situation in the original world that this movie is the only movie in China with a score of 9 on Douban in the past ten years.

The word-of-mouth is also so good, and it was also a blockbuster at the time, and the final box office was still outside the dozen.

The ones ahead of it are all comedies or commercials, and some are even subpar.

"Tragic Movie" is just not flattering.

"Are you sleepy?" Jiang Shu put away his phone, turned around and asked.

Because it is past two o'clock in the morning in China, and the two of them have only been here for two days, so the time difference must have not been adjusted.

"Not sleepy!" Gu Yaoqing smiled and raised her head: "There is no time to be sleepy here! You are energetic!"

"Come on! Take a photo." As Gu Yaoqing said, she tilted her head on Jiang Shu's shoulder.

Jiang Shu put away his phone and cooperated with her with a smile.

Gu Yaoqing took several photos in a row, then picked out a favorite group photo and posted it on Weibo.

"Yo! Is this here to take an oath of sovereignty? [狗头]"

"I saw Jiang Shu stealing the hand of that white young lady just now, and he also praised me [狗头]"

"Come on! Bring back the Golden Bear! I love you guys!"

"You're almost done, what should you do if Rumor is really angry, people in love are very stingy"

"If they get divorced, the netizen should bear at least [-]% of the responsibility for [狗头]"

"..."

Not long after, the opening ceremony finally began.

The host's opening remarks spoke German and English, but certainly no Chinese.

Hua Guo still has to keep working hard!

There is a long way to go to make Chinese words appear on these occasions.
