Chapter 153: Big Directors Must Make Blockbusters

Another week passed, and on December 16, Cao Yang had to put down his work and go to attend another movie premiere.

Feng Xiaogang's New Year movie *Cell Phone* would hold a premiere at the renovated Haidian Theater in the evening.

Fan Bingbing sent an invitation, and Feng Xiaogang also gave an invitation, this one must be attended.

Although he often bickered with Feng Xiaogang, Feng Xiaogang still gave Cao Yang face on the surface. He went to several of Cao Yang's movie premieres.

On the star-studded avenue paved with red carpet, Feng Xiaogang led Ge You, Xu Fan, Zhang Guoli, Fan Wei, Fan Bingbing, screenwriter Liu Zhenyun, photographer Zhao Fei, and theme song singer Yang Twenty-One, and many star guests stood in a row.

Men in suits and ties, women dressed up.

The movie fans watching the fun on both sides were wearing thick cotton clothes.

Cao Yang didn't bring anyone, it wouldn't be appropriate to bring anyone.

However, Yu Feihong, Li Xiaoran, and Gao Yuanyuan, the three best actresses, arrived one after another. They were all invited by Fan Bingbing.

The four talked and laughed, sisterly, the reporters were excited. What attraction could male stars have? Just play on the side, only female stars were the focus that the broad masses of the people loved to see.

Three of the four great Qingyi came, and they all looked like they had a good relationship with Fan Bingbing. Isn't this a news hotspot?

Feng Xiaogang grinned, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Fan Bingbing. This woman is not simple, she got together with those three people without making a sound.

Cao Yang came relatively late, there was no way, this was the so-called potential rule.

If there is no interest-related relationship, if you, a top big director in the country, come first, it will give people a feeling of interest-related relationship.

Otherwise, what would those stars and other directors who came later think?

It seems like they are playing big names.

"Feng Dao, congratulations, big box office."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you Cao Dao for coming in your busy schedule, you are here, this movie box office will have it."

Feng Xiaogang grinned with a big mouth, laughing a bit creepily. He must be very happy, otherwise he wouldn't be joking with Cao Yang.

"Do you want me to come back a few more times to make up a few hundred million for you?"

Cao Yang also joked.

"Hey, that's good, why don't you work hard..." Feng Xiaogang climbed up the pole and joked.

"Let's go, it's cold here, who are you waiting for?"

Cao Yang hugged Feng Xiaogang's shoulder and pushed him inside.

It is estimated that only Cao Yang dares to do this on the spot. Otherwise, if it were someone else, Feng Xiaogang would definitely get angry on the spot.

"Don't make trouble, I'm welcoming people."

Although Feng Xiaogang said so, he was still laughing and being hugged by Cao Yang.

You guys who are hyping on newspapers and the Internet, saying that my relationship with Cao Yang is not good, have you all seen it? My relationship with Cao Yang, a big director of the same level, is still very good.

Cao Yang waved his hand at the few people lined up behind Feng Xiaogang and nodded with a smile.

Ge You, Xu Fan, Zhang Guoli, Fan Wei, Liu Zhenyun, and Zhao Fei all hurriedly waved and nodded with a smile, and greeted him.

"Cao Dao, you are busy."

"Cao Dao, you go first."

"Cao Dao, hello."

"Cao Dao, hello."...

Cao Yang had no choice. Yu Feihong, Li Xiaoran, Gao Yuanyuan, and Fan Bingbing were still talking and laughing there. It is estimated that the three wanted to support Fan Bingbing, so they stayed for a while longer.

But this made Cao Yang feel a bit drummed in his heart. He was really afraid that Fan Bingbing would say something that made people imagine in front of the three, which would be troublesome.

If it weren't for the three of them being present, it wouldn't matter if Fan Bingbing said intimate words in front of anyone. Most actresses were good at this, and no one would care.

But saying it in front of the three of them, Cao Yang was afraid that the four would tear each other up later, which would be hard to clean up.

This is really possible.

Based on his understanding of Li Xiaoran, she would truly be full of sarcasm and would start lashing out directly.

Cao Yang also had a sudden idea, hugging Feng Xiaogang and left.

"What do you think of the market now? Can this movie of mine pass 70 million?"

No one noticed, Feng Xiaogang asked directly.

Cao Yang thought about it and replied: "If you buy some box office, 50 million can still pass."

!

"That's still the same bird."

Feng Xiaogang muttered, then grinned and said: "I would rather the market still be that market. I remember correctly that your movie invested 70 or 80 million, right? Hey, 200 million box office... hehe."

You hehe a hammer, want to see my joke, right?

"There are several film companies in Japan that have contacted China Film and Qingying Factory. They saw *Hero* sweeping East Asia, so they wanted to buy the copyright of my movie in Japan. The price has reached 4.5 million, in US dollars."

Cao Yang said with a smile: "I, maybe because I have won the Golden Lion and Palme d'Or, in East Asia, especially in countries like Japan and South Korea that admire the strong, my reputation is still very large."

Cao Yang estimated that if *Milk* could gain something in the Golden Globes and Oscars next year.

And wait until *Hero* is released in North America next year and the box office is red, his *Nine-Tailed Fox* regardless of the domestic box office, the foreign movie copyright is estimated to be sold for a sky-high price.

This is the reason why he insisted on filming a costume blockbuster for his first movie.

If the situation doesn't change, *Hero*, which will be released in North America next year, will directly dry up to a box office of about 54 million US dollars, which will create an illusion for the Americans—the big director's Chinese costume blockbuster is very promising!

So when *Nine-Tailed Fox* sells copyright next year, it can borrow the momentum of *Hero*, and the copyright fee will rise sharply.

Cao Yang looked at Feng Xiaogang and continued to say with a smile: "China Film calculated an account, just the current situation, just selling foreign copyrights, it is estimated that the cost can be recovered.

Sigh, no way, who let me have a bit of a reputation abroad? Forget it, you don't understand this if I tell you, you don't have the experience of selling foreign copyrights, it's useless to tell you."

Feng Xiaogang threw away Cao Yang's hand, a bit hit.

His movie is hard to sell abroad, let alone abroad, the box office in the country is not very good, many southern audiences don't understand the jokes in his movie.

Is the costume blockbuster so easy to recover the cost? Should I also take advantage of the heat to make one?

Then I thought about it, and temporarily extinguished this idea. Just like Cao Yang said, I am a big director in the country, but when I go abroad, no one recognizes me!

Then sell a fart copyright.

Those dog days abroad, only international big directors are in their eyes, you are a big director in the country, it's useless.

Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but make up his mind. Even if he doesn't film a blockbuster for the next movie, he must make a "popular" one, invite a big star from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and see if he can kill north and south.

Wait for the grandsons of Old Mouzi and Cao Yang to pave the way and bring the market to life, and then I will make a costume blockbuster and kill in, that is the safest.

Now it is the two big directors in the country who are making costume blockbusters, and another big director is preparing for a costume blockbuster. If I don't make one, what kind of four big directors in the country am I?

What if the market can't be brought to life?

Cold mix.

Just do what you should do, make a fart costume blockbuster!
