446 The Sensational Wedding in China (Part 1)
"Infernal Affairs" was completed in early August and entered post-production. The Medal Media Production Department issued a statement: It is planned to be scheduled for the start of November."
"Big news! "Infernal Affairs" has been approved by the Film Bureau and will be released in theaters in November. At the same time, "Infernal Affairs" will be released simultaneously in 48 Asian countries including South Korea, Japan, North Korea, Myanmar, Thailand, and the Philippines. Medal Media will fully contact theaters and translation companies from various countries, and submit imported film applications to various countries."
"China's first movie released simultaneously in 48 Asian countries - "Infernal Affairs"! Only Wei Xun can do it, all thanks to the popularity and channels established by the previous global release of "Saw"!"
"Infernal Affairs and French theaters have reached an agreement to be released in 20 French cinemas at the same time. Medal Media sent a premiere invitation to the chairman of the Cannes judges Jean Besson. The Cannes Chairman readily agreed and expressed on social software: I am honored to be invited and look forward to filming a new work by the talented director of "Saw"!"
As time goes by August, the average viewership rate of "In the Name of People" has exceeded 5, defeating the rest of the films of the same period.
After the filming of "Infernal Affairs", he no longer concealed his ambitions and began to build momentum.
Wei Xun is worthy of being Wei Xun. After the filming is completed, it makes everyone stunned when it comes to the shooting.
According to the Cannes competition system, three conditions must be met if you want to participate in the main competition selection.
First, this movie will be released in a small scale in France. Second, it has been recommended by famous filmmakers. Third, it has exhibited works in other exhibition units in Cannes.
The first two conditions are required, while the third condition depends on the situation.
Any film festival must be popular, even Cannes is no exception. If the film participating in the competition is very popular, or if it has a great reputation internationally after its release, as long as the quality is strong enough, even if you have not participated in the Cannes Film Festival before, you can still win an award.
Wei Xun wanted "Infernal Affairs" to be released simultaneously in Asia, which was to create momentum for himself. As the media said, only Wei Xun has the ability to do this.
At this time, the previous global release of "Saw" has the advantage.
With a box office of nearly 500 million US dollars, it was released in 72 countries around the world, with a rating of up to 9.0. The Hollywood digital directors endorsed the platform. Such results are enough to open the door to the film market in Asian countries!
And to be crazy, nowadays, no one else can have this strength except Wei Xun!
"The director of the defense is so awesome. He is released simultaneously in Asia. I look forward to "Infernal Affairs"."
"Zhou He had previously shown in front of the media, saying that he sent the film "Going to the Countryside" to Cannes Chairman Jean Besson. Now, the director of the defense directly brought Jean Besson to the premiere of "Infernal Affairs"."
"There is no way. A movie called "Saw" made all the movies around the world know Director Wei. Such a result is really not a big deal. Although "Saw" cannot win awards due to the theme, look at the Hollywood movie rating list, how many movies can be found with more than 9 points."
"I can only say that Liu Qiren is unlucky when he meets Wei Xun. He is indeed capable, but he meets an even better person. He will be released in Asia at the same time with a disagreement. Who can resist this?"
From August to September, a TV series "In the Name of People" and a movie "Infernal Affairs" made the Medal Media show their popularity.
Netizens who had spoken for "Going to the Countryside" on the Internet before all shut up at this time.
Cannes Chairman Jean Besson has been invited to China, what else can I say?
Wei Xun is so awesome, he can't accept it.
Otherwise, you would also let Liu Qiren's "Going to the Countryside" be released in Asia to try it out, and see which country is willing to import this film besides China?
Not to mention other countries, even pure art films like "Going to the Countryside" may not necessarily get many screenings.
Moreover, the simultaneous release of 48 countries is not only about courage, but also about financial resources. Not to mention the channels, just about the promotional funds. Apart from film and television giants like Medal Media, who can afford it?
It is rumored that the promotion and distribution funds for "Infernal Affairs" this time are conservatively estimated to be more than 300 million yuan.
When Medal Media was busy doing the post-production of "Infernal Affairs", translating various languages, and promoting and distributing them in multiple countries, and marveling at the big moves of Medals on the Internet, Wei Xun was also not idle.
He is preparing for his wedding with Chitang.
Life is a major event like marriage, and all kinds of tedious things need to be busy. After the filming of "Infernal Affairs" in August, Wei Changdong and Shen Ying forced him to throw away his work and make every effort to "prepare for marriage".
Fortunately, Wei Xun has no need to worry about the operation of Medal Media. He can basically become a hand-off manager after completing the filming of "Infernal Affairs".
The media were even more focused on Wei Xun and Chi Tang's itinerary throughout the process. Whenever there was any movement between the two, they would broadcast it out.
"Wei Xun revealed that the wedding of the two will be held in the villa of the Embassy No. 1 Courtyard, and only some personal friends and relatives and friends of both parties are invited."
"The simplest wedding! There are less than a hundred guests on Weixun's wedding list."
"Medal Media and Guanchi Group jointly stated that Wei Xun and Chitang's wedding will give reporters time to interview, but the entire wedding will not be broadcast live."
When celebrities get married, they choose to go abroad, such as New Zealand, Bali and other places, and invite a large number of relatives and friends in the entertainment industry to hold the wedding like a press conference.
However, Wei Xun and Chi Tang's wedding was particularly exquisite and simple, so they treated their relatives and friends at home.
This is also Wei Xun's consideration for Chi Tang. After all, Chi Tang is gradually taking over as the position of President Guan Chi, so entrepreneurs should not have too much contact with the entertainment industry.
At present, some photos, information, etc. about Chi Tang on the Internet have been quietly deleted and faded by Wei Xun and Chi Sheng.
Of course, this "exquisite and simple" wedding is relatively common. After all, not everyone can afford a villa worth 300 million yuan, and a wedding scene that accommodates hundreds of people is arranged on the lawn outside the villa.
On 10.1, at 8:00 am.
In the master bedroom of the villa at Embassy No. 1, Chitang has already put on a cheongsam and put on makeup.
Xu Yaru looked at her and exclaimed with a smile: "Wow, it's the most beautiful bride I imagine."
Outside the villa, the wedding company was doing the final inspection of the venue, and Wei Xun was preparing to welcome the guests after nine o'clock. For this wedding, they kept everything simple.
Chitang was a little depressed: "You are so annoying, I promised to let you be my bridesmaid."
"I'm all married, I'm married. How can you be your bridesmaid? It's so bad."
Xu Yaru said with a smile: "Now the whole news in China has been slaughtered by you two. I even heard that there is news in the United States that Wei Xun is going to get married. The whole world is wishing you two, sisters, to be happy for the rest of your life!"
Chi Tang heard this and kept Xu Yaru at the sight, saying, "So I don't have bridesmaids. You must watch me get married later. I won't give anyone my bouquet."
"Wow, don't say it anymore, I can't help but cry now."
