Chapter 183 I'm Rejecting
(Please book! Please vote!)
Jiang Xiao may be a little influenced by later generations, and feels that if he doesn't donate some money to this event, he will definitely make people hate him.
However, he was temporarily out of money, so he finally came up with an extra idea. He spent a day painting a watercolor painting by himself and named it "Lotus Pond".
The painting will then be donated to the organizer for auction.
In this way, he can be regarded as contributing his own strength to this event.
Regardless of this, under the guidance of the service staff, Jiang Xiao quickly arrived at the seat that had been arranged.
There is no one sitting on the right side, but on the left is Xu Jinglei. In other seats are Chen Luyu, Chen Datou, Li Xiaoran, whose skin is so fair that it "glows", and Yin Xiaotian, the victim of the "knife incident".
This guy is really... hard to describe.
Just this year, the media named the third "Four Big Students", namely Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei, Nie Yuan and Yin Xiaotian.
Although I don't think this guy has ever been very popular, in recent years he has gained a lot of popularity with "What Can I Do to Save You, My Lover" and "One Meter of Sunshine", and his development momentum is also good.
Presumably it is precisely because of this that he was rated as one of the "four big and small students".
Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that it was the beginning of the year when I first reviewed it, maybe it would be the end of the year. With the huge popularity brought by Jiang Xiao's "The Condor", he might have been able to replace one of them.
Of course, he doesn't care about the title of "Four Great Students".
After all, the sense of existence of this thing doesn't seem to be very high, and it doesn't attract as much attention as the Four Major Fadans and the Four Little Fadans.
Speaking of the latter, everyone can easily call out the names of Zhang Ziyi, Xu Jinglei, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Liu Yifei and others.
But when it comes to the former, how many people can name several male stars?
Such a comparison clearly shows the level of attention.
Soon, Jiang Xiao sat down in his seat. After all, it was the first time for him to see these people and he didn't know them, so he couldn't say hello casually.
It would be embarrassing if I didn't get a response, although this possibility is very small.
Just like that, without waiting for long, another person Jiang Xiao knew finally came and happened to sit next to him.
No, the other party was the first to speak: "Hey, Jiang Xiao, shall we sit together?"
"It looks like it, right?"
Jiang Xiao, who shrugged lightly, responded casually.
"By the way, congratulations, "The Night Banquet" has exceeded 100 million in box office!"
While sitting down, Fan Binbin did not forget to send a congratulations to Jiang Xiao.
At the same time, I still had a bit of a sour feeling in my heart.
Of course, she is not Suan Jiang Xiao, but the actress in the movie Suan.
She also competed for the role at first, but the company finally gave the opportunity to an outsider in order to sign Zhou Xun.
"Thank you, won't your "Ink Attack" be released in more than a month? I believe it will also achieve good box office results."
The box office of "The Night Banquet" has indeed exceeded 100 million. The day before yesterday, a celebration party for the 100 million box office was held, and Jiang Xiao also attended.
In total, the movie took in 55 million at the box office in the first four days, and another 46 million in the next week. After two weeks, it had already exceeded 100 million.
It is currently in its third week of release on Saturday, and the real-time box office has exceeded 125 million.
It's just that the drop is very large. It is estimated that by the time it is released, it will only have a box office of about 130 million at most.
This result is not particularly good, and the movie even loses money based on box office alone, even if the actual cost of "The Banquet" is not the US$20 million claimed, but US$13 million.
Of course, this movie can still recover a lot of costs overseas and sell a lot of copyrights. Plus other income, it won't make much money, but it should not lose money.
But for Feng Xiaogang, his first attempt at a costume film was definitely a failed experience.
This is probably the reason why the other party will never touch costume movies again in the future.
What's more funny is that the "failure" of Xiaogangpao caused Chen Kaige to be pulled out of "entertainment" again.
Because recently, a video has been circulating on the Internet, which is said to reveal the behind-the-scenes story of why Feng Xiaogang filmed "The Night Banquet".
It's similar to "A Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun", it's a spoof.
By editing the clips that Feng and Chen had acted in before, and adding dubbing, it turned out that after "The Promise", Director Chen wanted other directors to make a blockbuster that was even worse than "The Promise".
Because he couldn't afford to offend the "National Advisor" Zhang Yimou, he took the idea to Xiaogang Cannon and sent someone to beat the latter, so he was forced to film "The Night Banquet".
It was obviously a satire on Feng Xiaogang, but in the end, Director Chen was the most injured and lay on his back... No, it was like "Gatling" lying on his back.
Basically, the movie "The Promise" ruined Chen Kaige.
It's a pity that "Residence in the Fuchun Mountains", "Three Guns", "Havoc in Tianzhu" and "Dream Showbiz" did not appear in 2005, otherwise Director Chen would not have been so miserable.
"hope so!"
Fan Binbin, who didn't know what Jiang Xiao was thinking, responded with a hint of expectation when he heard "Mo Gong" was mentioned.
Who doesn’t want their work to achieve good results, and she is no exception.
After finishing, she took a sip of water and immediately reached out to pick up the napkin placed in front of Jiang Xiao. Unexpectedly, when she took it back, she accidentally touched the latter's glass of water.
As a result, it spilled and even spilled on someone.
In response to this, Fan Binbin, who straightened the cup again, naturally apologized quickly and said: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Subconsciously, she picked up a few more napkins and used her hands to help wipe away the water stains.
But she didn't wipe it twice, and suddenly she was a little stunned, and she reacted something belatedly. For a while, she didn't dare to move, and she even forgot to take her hand back.
"I, I will do it myself!"
Everything happened so suddenly that Jiang Xiao didn't expect that the position would be a bit awkward. Anyway, it was extremely embarrassing.
"oh!"
Fan Binbin, whose cheeks felt hot, retracted his hand in embarrassment when he heard this. Then he didn't know what to say, so he had to stay silent.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiao didn't pay much attention to it, and quickly started to use his hands to dry the wet areas a little.
Next to him, Xu Jinglei, who was already close and didn't want to see or see what just happened, slowly turned his head to the side and covered his mouth.
Because she was particularly afraid that someone who couldn't help it would laugh out loud.
…………
Less than half an hour later, the event finally started.
The host came on stage, and after some opening remarks, Su Mang, the representative of the organizer, also came on stage to give a speech, which was a more official thank you to all the guests for coming.
Then an official with a high level made a lot of official announcements and confirmed the significance of this charity event.
After it was over, another public welfare short film was played on the screen, with the theme of "children", children's children.
Because today's event is aimed at helping children, all donations will be given to the World Children's Charity Foundation.
After the short film was played, it was time for the auction.
However, what Jiang Xiao did not expect was that the host on the stage mentioned him as soon as he opened his mouth and said: "Today's first auction item is donated by Mr. Jiang Xiao, so please invite Mr. Jiang Xiao to come on stage to participate in the auction.
welcome!"
"Hua hua hua~~!!!"
Following the host's invitation, polite applause immediately erupted from the venue.
Chapter completed!
