Looking at the dense poetry recitation tasks in the book, and then thinking about the newly added poems, they immediately felt immense pressure, as if their sky had instantly become dark and dim, and they couldn't help but silently sigh in their hearts, “Oh my god, why do I have to recite so many poems again!”
Ma Da also couldn't suppress his curiosity and stepped into the exhibition hall, mingling with the first group of visitors.
When he walked out of the exhibition hall, he felt as if his soul had been cleansed, and his heart was filled with shock and emotion.
On one hand, he was captivated by Su Yu’s extraordinary artistic talent, feeling as if he had opened a door to a whole new world of art, and his horizons had been greatly broadened;
On the other hand, he looked down at his wallet and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head, knowing that with his financial resources, even owning just one of the works might come at a huge cost, possibly even plunging his financial situation into difficulties.
In his opinion, each of Su Yu’s ten works was priceless; selling them for tens of millions of chinese yuan was a conservative estimate, and exceeding one hundred million was not impossible.
He couldn't help but ponder, “If I had Su Yu’s talent, why would I bother making movies? When I’m in a good mood, I’d just write and paint, sell one piece casually, and then my life would be worry-free.”
Although Ma Da did not participate in the silent auction, Wang Jun, one of the two bosses of Giant Shark Entertainment, made a decisive move.
Ma Da personally saw his bid for “a panorama of rivers and mountains” reach 80 million chinese yuan, a figure that left Ma Da speechless, only able to silently complain in his heart, “What a rich and arrogant dog!”
The two Wang brothers, one obsessed with chasing beauties and the other with collecting artworks, invested a large portion of the money Giant Shark Entertainment earned through various means into these hobbies, which left Ma Da both envious and helpless.
However, he also knew in his heart that an 80 million bid might not guarantee the painting, after all, the tycoons and wealthy businessmen coming and going in the exhibition hall were all wealthy and not to be underestimated.
Moreover, he also spotted Han Jianhua, Wang Tianfeng, and Li Xing, the three giants of Tianxing Entertainment, among the crowd, and his intuition told him that these three must also be there for Su Yu’s works, and he couldn't help but marvel at their unreserved support for Su Yu.
He secretly wondered, how much would Han Jianhua and the others bid?
As the calligraphy and painting exhibition continued and the six poems were hotly discussed online, Su Yu’s entertainment prestige value experienced an explosive growth.
Previously, the growth of calligraphy and painting prestige value had slowed down, much like the growth trend of music prestige value, as if it had entered a bottleneck period.
However, with these ten works, especially the six poems among them, Su Yu successfully broke through this bottleneck and once again shone brightly in the art field.
Although the speed of prestige value increase might have slowed down compared to before, every bit of growth was precious, a strong testament to his continuous progress and breakthroughs on the path of art.
......
On January 24th, Tianxing Entertainment held a grand and solemn celebration for “the truman show.”
This time, the top executives of Tianxing Entertainment and the main creative staff of the crew gathered to celebrate the brilliant achievements of the movie.
It is worth mentioning that Alan from Disney and Parker from MGM also flew thousands of miles specifically to attend this grand event.
Currently, the three parties are in a honeymoon period of cooperation, and attending each other’s important events is not only a friendly gesture but also strong support for their cooperative relationship.
Just when the media and guests attending the celebration thought it was just an ordinary celebration banquet, Su Yu, Alan, and Parker, the three representatives, walked onto the stage hand in hand and jointly announced a shocking piece of news—the new movie “life of pi,” a collaboration between the three parties, was officially launched!
This blockbuster news was like a thunderclap, instantly exploding at the scene, directly stunning the media and reporters present, who were completely overwhelmed by this sudden surprise (or perhaps fright).
When they learned that the movie’s budget was as high as 100 million US dollars, which is nearly 700 million chinese yuan, they were even more dumbfounded, and the shock in their hearts was simply beyond words.
“This is simply crazy! A 100 million US dollar budget, how high does the box office need to be to break even? At least 2 billion chinese yuan box office as a baseline!” Everyone exclaimed in their hearts.
It should be noted that in the current Chinese film market, works with a box office exceeding 2 billion are rare, and they are all works from Tianxing Entertainment.
Now, Tianxing Entertainment actually intends to challenge this difficult goal again, taking such a big step, how can people not worry whether they will “bite off more than they can chew.”
Everyone couldn’t help but wonder, has Tianxing Entertainment, or rather Su Yu, really been carried away by successive victories, starting to be blindly confident and gambling recklessly?
After all, no one can guarantee that every movie can achieve a formidable box office of over 800 million US dollars worldwide, like “the truman show.”
However, after calming down, everyone found some factors that made them feel a little more at ease.
Su Yu still served as the screenwriter for this movie; his unique creativity and wonderful stories had laid the foundation for the success of many previous movies;
And Hao Ren continued to direct this movie; his rich directing experience and unique artistic style also provided a certain guarantee for the movie's quality.
In addition, Tianxing Special Effects, a powerful star enterprise under Tianxing Entertainment, will also fully support the production of this movie, and with its advanced special effects technology and rich production experience, it is expected to bring a shocking visual feast to the audience.
Thinking of these, a glimmer of hope ignited in everyone’s hearts, perhaps this movie will not only not lose money in the end, but also make a small profit?
As they thought about it, many people began to waver in their initial doubts, and they couldn't help but reflect, “Tianxing Entertainment, Disney, and MGM, these three powerful companies, certainly won't act blindly; perhaps they have already seen potential advantages and commercial value that we can't see.”
However, this did not prevent the media from sensationalizing this explosive news, as such news was undoubtedly excellent material for attracting attention and increasing traffic.
As for the netizens, they showed a rare calmness regarding this news.
In their opinion, the movie had not yet been released, so being excited now was useless; after the movie was released, they could go to the cinema to experience it firsthand and naturally know whether it was good or bad.
After all, up to now, movies produced by Tianxing Entertainment have never disappointed them; each one has brought them unique feelings and shocks, so they are also full of expectations for this new movie and are willing to choose to believe in the strength of Tianxing Entertainment.
“the truman show,” a movie released across the entire Blue Star, not only achieved great success at the box office but also brought Su Yu about 600 million overseas entertainment prestige points.
This achievement allowed Su Yu’s overseas entertainment prestige value to successfully break through the 2 billion mark and steadily advance towards the new goal of 3 billion.
