Chapter 445 Online Public Opinion
Even if the outside world doesn't know how much the copyright of the movie "Farewell" can be sold for, even a fool would know that it will definitely make a lot of money.
Films that win the Cannes Grand Prix usually attract a lot of art film lovers who come to watch them, and the video rights can also sell for a lot of money.
Not to mention the domestic box office. With the three Cannes awards and Wu Mu's popularity, it should be no problem for the box office to reach 100 million or 200 million.
Everyone thought that judging from the performance of Wu Mu and Lin Qingyue, Lin Qingyue's Wu Mu film was likely to have received investment and would be able to make a fortune.
Ever since Wu Mu's ranking in the world's top 300 celebrities was announced, many media outlets have been spontaneously calculating Wu Mu's income, wanting to see how much he can earn this year.
Well, the second month of this year has not even passed yet, and the ranking of the world's top 300 celebrities has only been released for less than a month, but many people have already calculated that Wu Mu's income this year is close to million.
This earning power is enough to confuse people. They thought that last year was the peak. Judging from the situation, it can be even higher this year, heading for 2 billion?
However, Ziwumu did not invest in the film "Farewell".
This made the reporters who were thinking of adding more money to his income to make the headline more shocking smack their lips in regret.
"Wu Mu, after winning the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival, will you become more of an actor and strive for higher awards in the future?"
The interview was still going on and someone asked about Wu Mu's development direction.
Wu Mu thought about it and said, "I won't be leaning towards making movies. It should be the same as before. If there are suitable variety shows, I will go on and off the variety shows. If there are songs, I will release them. Then Sun Shun will make a movie."
The more avenues he develops, the more ways he will have to earn points.
He was aiming for points, but the reporters in the audience all kept saying: "He has great ambitions and wants to be an all-round artist."
"Wu Mu, how much did you get paid for this movie? Can you tell me?"
If I say half an hour, it really means half an hour.
When the time was up, Wu Mu stood up and signaled everyone to disperse.
The reporters who asked a lot of questions looked a little unsatisfied, but after looking at each other, they all hurried out.
I have to hurry up and write the article. If I finish quickly, it can be published in tomorrow's daily newspaper.
I didn’t expect to get the first bite of the internet popularity, as Weibo had already blown up.
But you can still grab the first bite of the heat from print media.
Yangcheng.
It is only late February and the Chinese New Year has not yet arrived. Coupled with the recent arrival of a new cold wave, even the temperature in Guangzhou has dropped sharply.
Zhang Bowen had already put on a thick cotton coat and was breathing heavily on his way to work.
Although he was born in Northeast China, after living in the South for a few years, he found that he seemed to be a little weak in the cold and couldn't stand the cold when the temperature dropped just a little.
"Uncle Liu, give me a copy of Nan Fang Daily."
When he passed by a newsstand on the corner, he planned to buy a newspaper as usual.
Although print media has somewhat declined in this era, for some older people or those working in government agencies, reading a newspaper every day is still a deep-rooted habit.
Zhang Bowen works at the district archives and has developed this habit with the older employees there.
While waiting for the old man at the newsstand to bring the newspaper, Zhang Bowen glanced around and found something strange.
"Hey, Uncle Liu, don't you usually put the Southern Daily first? Why is the Southern Metropolis Daily first today?"
"Teacher Zhang, do you still remember this detail? I'm also surprised. There were so many people buying Southern Metropolis Daily today that I just put it in the front for easy access."
The newsstand owner also looked puzzled.
"By the way, most of the buyers are young people. Just now, there were even two high school girls who came over to buy something."
High school students are completely insulated from newspapers.
Zhang Bowen looked at the Southern Metropolis Daily with curiosity.
"The first day of the opening of the Guangzhou-Foshan South Ring Intercity Railway: the one-hour living circle is further expanded."
"Tracking the 'black surrogacy industry': follow-up to the investigation and punishment of underground clinics in Yangcheng."
The front page headlines and sub-headlines are all about city government affairs and hot news. I don’t see anything that can attract high school students.
He casually flipped over the front page of the newspaper, revealing the second page below.
Then, he was stunned.
On the back page headline of Southern Metropolis Daily, there appeared a person who was extremely hard for him to imagine, with a particularly recognizable face.
The headline of the second edition news: "From the bottom to the top, he may be on the road to legend, star Wu Mu is crowned the best actor in Cannes"
Subtitle: "The fifth Chinese winner of the Cannes Film Festival Best Actor Award after Hou Zhenzhong. The whole of Cannes cheers for him."
He knew every word in the title, but he just felt that it was a little hard to understand when they were put together.
How did Wu Mu end up in Southern Metropolis?
And he was crowned the Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival? ?
Zhang Bowen couldn't help but stand up straight and take out the newspaper to read.
"On the evening of the 23rd, French time, the star Wu Mu was crowned the Best Actor in Cannes, becoming the fifth Chinese to win the Best Actor award. This result undoubtedly surprised many people, including me."
The reporter from the metropolitan newspaper began with a brief introduction to the situation and set the tone.
Then he began to slow down and tell the print media viewers who didn't know Wu Mu who he was.
"Because just like the prefix in the public's impression of him, Mingxing Wu Mu, is more like a shining star than an actor or singer. From dropping out of junior high school at the age of 14 to becoming the current Cannes Film Emperor, he has experienced many lows to highs, and highs to lows."
Print media readers may not be familiar with Wu Mu, but Zhang Bowen is familiar with him because he is an old player of the Hongtu game "Dynasty Hegemony" and often cuts Wu Mu with people from all over the server.
So I can’t say that I know everything, but at least I know most of the hot topics.
He quickly skipped the reporter's introduction to Wu Mu's past and achievements. He wanted to know how come he became the Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival when he hadn't seen him for a while?
Fortunately, the reporter later gave a detailed introduction and began to review Wu Mu's "Twelve Days in Cannes" from the beginning.
From being ignored in the beginning to finally winning the Cannes trophy and causing cheers in Cannes.
In the words of the reporter:
"It was the first time I realized that Cannes, which is known for its professionalism, has such a star-chasing side. Since his film was screened in Cannes, his popularity in Cannes has been getting higher and higher. In the end, every time he went out, there would be a huge traffic jam, and there were audiences everywhere who wanted to hug him and take pictures with him."
"This atmosphere reached its peak after the award ceremony. When he walked out of the Palais des Festivals in Cannes holding the Best Actor trophy, the audience outside shouted his name and cheered for him."
"I was a little disappointed with these 'star-chasing' Cannes audiences at first, and felt that the professionalism of Cannes was lost. At the same time, because of Wu Mu's overly conspicuous star aura, I didn't feel much reality about his winning the Best Actor award."
"It wasn't until I heard a shout from the outside of the crowd that I suddenly felt dazed."
"Legend."
"legend."
"It turns out that in the eyes of many foreign audiences, the star Wu Mu may be on the road to becoming a legend." Zhang Bowen was stunned.
legend?
Could the guy who is chased and hacked by all the players in the server, and sometimes is a bit mean and deliberately provokes everyone, be a legend?
Is the movie mentioned in the newspaper really that great?
Zhang Bowen was almost unable to stand still. He wanted to quickly go online to see what everyone was talking about. However, if he stood here any longer, he would be late for work today.
Before leaving, he did not forget to remind the newsstand owner, "Uncle Liu, if you turn out this page of Southern Metropolis Daily and put it in front, more people will buy it."
Then he hurried away under the blank gaze of the newsstand owner, not even bothering to pick up today's copy of Southern Daily.
While rushing to work, he couldn't help but take out his mobile phone to search.
Ok.
Not surprisingly, the internet has exploded.
"I haven't been paying much attention to Weibo these days, but this morning I saw in the Beijing News that Wu Gou won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival??"
"What the hell is going on? Why are Southern newspapers starting to praise Wu Dog? Don't they always like to praise foreign countries and rarely report on Wu Mu? Why are they starting to praise Wu Dog now? Walking on the legendary road, I see goosebumps all over my body."
"The sky is falling again! I haven't seen Wu Gou for a few days, and he's making big news again? Is there no limit to his behavior? Will he be able to reach a higher level after a while?"
"Oh no, Wu Gou is really breaking out of the circle again. My dad suddenly came to me today and asked me if I knew Wu Gou. He said that the newspaper said he was a very popular star among the younger generation and that he was talented. Is that true? He also told me to chase after idols of this quality. I didn't even dare to tell him that Wu Gou could call people "bastards" in public on the show."
The popularity of print media itself is not very high, and it has declined as a whole, but it is indeed a real tool to break the circle.
I wonder how many viewers attracted by the print media are discussing this issue today.
In addition, those who watched the live broadcast yesterday knew the result, and viewers who learned about it through news push notifications from major software programs are also discussing it.
"Fuck, Wu Gou really won the Best Actor Award. The internet said he had a chance, but I thought it was just a joke. But it turned out to be serious?"
"Although it's a double yolk egg, this is still pretty awesome! Li Cheng, Zhao Xue and the others can't even touch this kind of thing. From now on, won't they have to bow down to Wu Gou when they see him?"
"Isn't that old man Matthew really telling Wu Mu some inside information? Although he and Wu Gou didn't seem to have a good relationship on a show a long time ago, what if he was also bewitched?"
These heated discussions online pushed the heat to an unusually high level, but in the end they all turned into a question.
"So what did Wu Gou shoot this time? When will his movie be released?"
"We have already planned to release it during the Spring Festival. Although the Spring Festival is mainly a market for family comedies, our popularity is high enough, and there is still an overall upper limit, so it is more appropriate to release it during the Spring Festival, taking a small piece of the big market."
Lin Qingyue introduced Wu Mu.
Yan Yongmei is still relatively optimistic about the overall outlook for the film.
With such high popularity, there is no need to think about the box office of 500 or 600 million yuan, after all, this is an art film.
But three or four hundred million is still something you can consider.
So their original plan was to avoid the Spring Festival and eat at the end of the day.
But now that I have won the Cannes Grand Prix, I feel confident and can just release it during the Spring Festival when everyone is free. I don’t expect any head-on competition, as long as I can make the best use of their popularity.
"Well, then wait until you guys sell it first. I'll promote it to you when most of the sales are done." Wu Mu nodded. The popularity is already very high now, so there is no need to use the profit card to promote it. It is better to wait until the box office of the movie itself has sold most of the sales before using the profit card to promote it.
After the closing ceremony and awards ceremony in Cannes, Wu Mu and his friends stayed in Cannes for another day before returning home together.
Although living in Cannes is quite comfortable and his girlfriend holds him in her arms every day when he sleeps, Wu Mu still likes home more.
But there are many things to do when I get home.
Forget about the numerous door-to-door businesses in the country.
This time, we even have business in the United States.
"Is there a show in the United States that wants to invite me?" Wu Mu looked at Shu Mei in surprise.
Shu Mei nodded, "It's a variety show, I want to invite you to record an episode."
"Brother, this is an opportunity! Although that show is only a third- or fourth-tier show in the United States, it is an opportunity to enter the American market!"
An internationalization strategy does not mean you can just go wherever you want. You must at least be invited to participate in local programs.
Otherwise, if you try to touch it yourself, you will probably get hurt.
This program is obviously a follow-up impact of Cannes. Because of the events in Cannes, it attracted the attention of some European and American programs.
However, Wu Mu shook his head when he heard about the third or fourth tier programs. How many points can be added for these third or fourth tier programs?
There are too few additions, and it's not as good as domestic programs.
But I have never acted in it, so I don’t know the specific situation.
So Wu Mu thought about it and said, "You can ask them to send the detailed details and arrangements to me."
If it's not long and can be recorded quickly, and he happens to have the time, then there's no problem in just running and lying down to test the waters.
But he definitely doesn't have time lately.
There is still a lot to do.
There's the Spring Festival Gala, the Weibo Night party, the broadcast of the Japanese variety show, and the release of "Farewell".
In the near future, there are also preparations for Wang Ren's "The Piano in a Factory", Lin Qingyue's "Love Letter", and so on.
There is a lot of work to do.
After I finished dealing with the company's affairs, it just so happened that there were new developments in the Spring Festival Gala, which had been delayed for a while.
The Spring Festival Gala contacted him very early as a backup group. In case any of the main programs were cancelled, their backup programs would take over.
Although it is just an alternative program and may not be performed, it should still be necessary to rehearse it.
But strangely enough, the Spring Festival Gala program crew never contacted Wu Mu.
Lin Qingyue had taken on the task of handling this matter before, and now she called him.
Lin Qingyue's voice was a little heavy on the phone. "Amu, I urged them several times about the Spring Festival Gala program, but their attitude was always a little vague. I urged them again today, and they said they were worried that it would affect your family."
Lin Qingyue paused and asked hesitantly, "Amu, can you tell me what it is specifically about?"
