Chapter 361: Industry Status, Reaching the Top

"Dehua! Look here!"

"Master Xing! I love you!"

"Little Leo! You are so handsome!"

"Binbin! Smile!"

……

The cheering sounds were like waves, hitting every celebrity artist who came to attend the "Inception" celebration party.

And they have long been accustomed to it, and even when faced with this situation, they still show a standard smile and warmly greet the fans who support them.

After walking through the red carpet, signing their names on the sign-in board, and entering the venue hall, they met the main person of the celebration party.

For the guests of lower status, it is a great honor to be able to shake hands with Wang Hao, an internationally renowned director.

As for those who are of higher status or have a certain position in the industry, Wang Hao will also have a friendly chat with them and thank them for coming and supporting him.

This is not Wang Hao flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. It has always been like this in the entertainment industry.

After all the guests arrived, the celebration party officially began.

The host of this celebration party was naturally the talent borrowed by Galaxy Group from the movie channel. After all, the celebration party was also broadcast live by the movie channel.

The process of the celebration party was also very simple, and was no different from the celebration parties held for Wang Hao’s previous films.

After all, he had held this kind of celebration party countless times, and the process had long since formed an established pattern.

However ordinary it was, when Wang Hao personally announced that the box office of "Inception" in mainland China had successfully exceeded 14 billion, successfully surpassing "Avatar" which had weighed on the heads of many filmmakers, and becoming the number one in the history of China's film box office rankings, there was warm applause and cheers at the scene.

And when Wang Hao announced that the global box office of "Inception" had reached 13.604 billion US dollars, surpassing "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2011" which had a box office of 13.57 billion in and ranked third in the global movie box office rankings, the entire celebration party was boiling.

The sound was so loud that it shook the windows of the venue. Fans and moviegoers outside the venue were all surprised and curious about what was going on inside.

Ranked third in global film history!

It is a science fiction film directed by a Chinese director and shot and produced by a Chinese team!

For many years, this has been an honor that Chinese filmmakers have never dared to even think about.

Not to mention that there has been no one before him, it would be difficult for later generations to surpass him, except for Wang Hao who can surpass himself.

After all, an excellent science fiction script like "Inception" plus an actor with such charisma as Leonardo DiCaprio is a dream combination that is rare in Hollywood.

The media reporters standing near the stage seemed to be going crazy, pointing their cameras at Wang Hao who had just announced the information on the stage.

At this moment, he seemed like the center of the universe.

Through those shots, countless fans who had watched "Inception" and "Galaxy Cinematic Universe", as well as science fiction fans and movie fans, who were sitting in front of the TV, were watching him excitedly and cheering for witnessing this highlight moment in Chinese film history.

As for the people present at the scene, didn’t you see that even the big boss of the propaganda department sitting in the front row was clapping with a smile on his face?

The artists who were employees of the Galaxy Group clapped their hands until they were red and their voices were almost hoarse.

Although many of them were unable to participate in the "Inception" project, it is said that the company still has many projects this year, and many of them are "Galaxy Cinematic Universe" projects.

Just looking at the performance of "Inception", these [Galaxy Cinematic Universe] projects will definitely be popular in the future and have excellent prospects. Even if they can't get the meat, it will be nice to at least get some of the soup.

It was under such public attention that Wang Hao led the crew members of "Inception" and personally smashed the ice sculpture symbolizing 13.6 billion US dollars, officially indicating that Chinese film has entered a new era.

An era in which domestic films have finally gained a foothold under the impact of overseas films, an era in which Chinese science fiction films have risen, and an era in which the Chinese film industry has matured is finally approaching.

Everyone present today, and every viewer in front of the TV, will be a witness!
There was wave after wave of applause at the scene, and Wang Hao had to wait for a long time before he finally had the chance to express his feelings about achieving this result.

"Thank you! Thank you everyone! Thank you to every fan who supports us! Thank you to every employee of Galaxy Group! Thank you to all the crew members of Inception..."

Wang Hao thanked a lot of people. Every time he spoke, there was applause from the audience. At the same time, the people being talked about also had expressions of pride on their faces.

Just as Wang Hao said, they also deserve some credit for the impressive success of "Inception".

Today's celebration party is not just a celebration party for Wang Hao alone, nor is it just a celebration party for the "Inception" crew, but a celebration party for the entire Chinese film and television industry.

So in addition to Wang Hao and the "Inception" crew members, some heads of film and television companies that participated in the investment of this film, as well as official leaders in the industry, and some invited industry seniors also came on stage to express their views and thoughts.

And without exception, they all mentioned the director Wang Hao.

Xu Peng of Moying Group praised Wang Hao as a leader in the domestic commercial film field, who always brings surprises to their investors.

Keita Miyamoto of Sony Pictures said that the appearance of Wang Hao proved that Asians can also make a difference in the field of science fiction films, and made outstanding contributions to the development of science fiction culture in the Asia-Pacific region. At the same time, it also used science fiction culture to build a bridge for cultural exchanges among multiple countries.

Li Shaohong, president of the Directors Association, affirmed Wang Hao's contribution to Chinese films from the perspective of his pioneering of the science fiction film genre, saying that as a representative of young domestic directors, he has injected new vitality into Chinese films.

As for those celebrity artists who were lucky enough to get the microphone, regardless of gender, age or status, they all expressed their immense admiration for Wang Hao and their strong desire to cooperate with him.

Anyway, at this moment, Wang Hao is the undisputed core focus.

The celebration party lasted until the evening, and after it got dark, the original venue quickly turned into a banquet hall.

The hotel waiters quickly rearranged the venue, and then the food was delivered by carts. Of course, officials like the big leaders had their own high-end boxes.

However, the treatment enjoyed by everyone at the celebration banquet was not bad. At least there was enough good wine and cigarettes.

Moreover, even with Wang Hao's current identity as a well-known director and company boss, he did not put on airs at all. Not only did he serve drinks to important guests including senior leaders one by one, he also personally toasted media reporters, company subordinates, and behind-the-scenes crew members. It can be said that he was very approachable, and the employees and subordinates who were toasted were flattered.

Of course, Wang Hao only toasted everyone as a gesture. With so many people present, if they really let go and drank, they would probably drink him to death.

And even though he's not walking around anymore, it doesn't mean that no one else will come to pay respect to him.

The heads of small and medium-sized film and television companies who wanted to establish a relationship with him, as well as small celebrities who had entered the celebration party through unknown channels, all came over to toast him with flattering faces.

They did not expect to really have a relationship with Wang Hao. It would be enough to satisfy them if they could leave a vague impression on the great director.

Of course, there are some female celebrities who think they are good-looking and have some other purposes.

However, when they saw Jing Tian, ​​who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a beautiful appearance, sitting next to Wang Hao, they all stopped talking.

Even if there was no stopping, Jing Tian would not just sit there and watch. He would usually take the initiative to confront those female stars who rushed over before Wang Hao and engage in an invisible confrontation with them.

However, among these female stars, there are quite a few that Jing Tian has trouble dealing with.

For example, Fan Binbin, who is currently in the limelight, was listed on the international list of the Global Times with the theme of "Finding Chinese Power on a Global Scale" in August last year. He was successfully selected as one of the "most globally watched cultural figures" along with Lang Lang, Zhang Yimou and others.

Faced with this domineering and mature lady, Jing Tian, ​​a girl who had just graduated from school for a few years, could not resist and was directly ignored by Fan Binbin.

Looking at Fan Binbin, who was toasting with Wang Hao, speaking in an ambiguous manner and at the same time provoking her with his eyes, Jing Tian was almost gritting her teeth.

And that’s not all. Later, Li Binbin, Gao Yuanyuan, Wan Qian from China and Ishihara Satomi and Song Huiqiao from abroad also came to Wang Hao and successfully broke through Jing Tian’s blockade.

In other words, Wang Hao was too careless and turned a blind eye to the intrigues between the women. Otherwise, even in such an occasion, he would have shed a few drops of cold sweat.

Of course, Wang Hao didn't sweat much at the celebration banquet, but after the banquet ended and he returned to the hotel, he couldn't rest.

Perhaps because of the stimulation from Fan Binbin and others, Jing Tian took the initiative to change his position that night in order to satisfy his desire to take revenge on Fan Binbin and others.

Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮!
The man you tried so hard to please is now unable to resist and lets me do whatever I want!

When she thought of this, and then thought of Fan Binbin's annoying, vixen-like face at the banquet, Jing Tian couldn't help but purse her red lips with her eyes closed, and her whole body trembled with excitement.

Wang Hao knew what Jing Tian was thinking, but what could he do? Jing Tian didn't cry or make a scene, nor did she question the relationship between those women and Wang Hao. She was already very generous.

So he could only stroke Jing Tian's back gently and "comfort" this good girl who was so excited that she was about to cry.

Just as Wang Hao was busy comforting Jing Tian and dealing with private matters in the room, news from the outside world about him and "Inception" had once again stirred up huge waves.

The celebration party for "Inception" can be said to be extremely successful, and the film's achievements at home and abroad were also widely reported by the media that participated in the celebration party.

These achievements naturally made the movie fans who were paying attention to this matter very happy and excited.

No. 1 in Chinese film history, No. 3 in global film history!
Even in Hollywood, few people can achieve this result.

Who is ranked ahead of Wang Hao? It’s the internationally renowned director James Cameron, who made “Avatar” and “Titanic”.

Wang Hao's works ranked behind him, which is not a shame but a pride.

After all, from this perspective, Wang Hao can be regarded as the second most famous international director in film history, second only to James Cameron.

Moreover, in the eyes of the domestic public, Leonardo DiCaprio, the leading actor of "Inception", is not rejected to a great extent because of the filter of "Titanic". Therefore, most domestic movie fans nowadays do not think there is anything wrong with Wang Hao's use of foreign actors in this movie, and they still believe that his movie belongs to Chinese movies.

Therefore, the honors achieved by this film naturally belong to the honors of Chinese films and to the honors of Wang Hao, the Chinese director.

The leader of Chinese films!
The representative of Chinese films in the new era!
The first commercial director in China!
The pioneer of Chinese science fiction films!
In this fanatical atmosphere, domestic movie fans and audiences have given Wang Hao all kinds of free titles.

As for the so-called "Three Great Directors of Chinese Entertainment", no one mentions them now. The reason why people don't call him the No. 1 director of Chinese Entertainment is simply because Wang Hao is too young and has little experience.

But in their subconscious, Wang Hao's fame and status have completely surpassed that of the national master Zhang Yimou because of this "Inception".

Even Feng Dapao, Chen the poet, and Lu Chuan and Ning Hao, who had just risen to prominence among the younger generation, didn't know how far they were left behind by him.

They are even not satisfied with finding rivals for Wang Hao from within the country. Some people believe that Wang Hao is already comparable to Christopher Nolan of Hollywood. Comparing the two, they think they are both genius directors.

Another group of people think that Wang Hao is China's James Cameron. Not only has he promoted the development of the film industry, but he has also produced excellent 3D films.

Anyway, no matter what, Wang Hao has become a prominent figure in the domestic entertainment industry during this period.

Even his Weibo account gained millions of followers overnight. Some of them were still asking about the ending of "Inception", while others were urging him to quickly shoot and produce the next new movie.

Of course, Wang Hao also wants to make his next movie as soon as possible. After all, everything is ready, just waiting for him, the director, to start filming.

But the celebration party for "Inception" does not mean that the project is over. As the director of this film, he still has a lot of things to finish.

For example, on the second day of the celebration party, he accepted an exclusive interview with the movie channel.

After all, they had been cooperating for a long time, and his uncle had also called him. Wang Hao couldn't refuse this favor, so he agreed.
