Chapter 858 Joining the Nobel Prize Battle

Time flows smoothly, and June is about to pass in the blink of an eye.

"The Matrix 2", which has been released for 20 days, finally failed to hold the throne of the weekend box office champion, but with the 800 million yuan of box office revenue this week, it successfully increased its total box office to 100 million yuan.

This number also successfully surpassed "Mermaid" and rose to the top of the box office list of mainland movies!

Moreover, with the influence of refreshing box office results, the box office in a single day had fallen by 50 million yuan, but it rose to 68 million yuan at this time, indicating that it can fight for another five hundred years!

Galaxy Pictures has long applied to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to postpone the film screening for one month, and it has been approved.

Although the total income may be small in July, it is calculated to increase a little bit, at least many viewers are not bored now.

North America will fall faster. Lin Han and "The Matrix" are playing away. When the cumulative box office reaches US$700 million, the growth rate has significantly slowed down a lot.

However, with its tenacious stamina, it should not be a problem to break through to $400 million!

China has a box office of US$700 million, North America has 400 million, and overseas countries are also very strong, especially the United Kingdom, Japan, and South Korea, which continue to win championships again and now have a total box office of US$900 million, and it is expected to eventually fall to US$1.6 billion.

With such a high box office, Galaxy Pictures can actually get less than as much money as you imagined. After all, it is just a producer. If you want to share the money with the publisher and theaters, you must get about 30%!

In other words, just box office revenue, Galaxy Pictures can earn nearly $500 million from "The Matrix 2"!

How many Hollywood blockbusters can't get such a high box office number in total.

This has not calculated the copyright and the surrounding income, especially in terms of copyright, there is no need to share the income with others. The money you get is almost all your own except the channels!

Galaxy Pictures thinks it is a huge profit, and the next movie "The Matrix 3" can also bring about the same amount of profits.

This small company that only filmed a few movies has a higher net profit in a year than listed companies such as Huayi Brothers.

Countless venture capital funds want to join in, but unfortunately Galaxy Pictures lacks everything, but it just doesn’t lack money!

Movies are constantly making money here, and book sales there have been many new highs. Lin Han really can't find anything to spend money.

Of course, there are also many directors, screenwriters and even authors who use scripts to find Lin Han to invest, and want Boss Lin to hand over the money to them, and they all make a big splash.

However, Galaxy Pictures has always been taking the high-quality route. It is better to have nothing than to be too bad, and would rather make less movies than make bad movies to ruin their reputation!

So at most they invest and invest in some more reliable movies or TV series.

Galaxy Pictures has invested in the movie "Breaking Out of the Galaxy" adapted from Li Wenyuan's novel, Spielberg's new film "The Wandering Guide to the Galaxy" and the TV series "Lost"!

He had to spend money in his hand, so Lin Han was not ruthless in charity and donated hundreds of millions of yuan in total.

This can be regarded as using some classic works on Earth to help those in need, which will at least make Lin Han feel better!

...

"Kobayashi, do you still have time to teach in the second half of the year?"

Cai Yu, vice president of Peking University, called to inquire. He did not forget that Lin Han is a special professor at the school, so of course this kind of resource must be used well.

Lin Han on the phone was sitting under the air conditioner. He was originally playing dota2, but now he had to bring the character back to the base. He quickly replied: "Principal Cai, I am also a member of Peking University after all, so of course I have to come back!"

The agreement he signed with Peking University was to only last one semester a year, and only one school-wide public-selected course was offered in that semester, and the conditions were quite relaxed.

"Then I'll let the Academic Affairs Office arrange your courses, or Monday afternoon, right?"

If the vice president of Peking University can call specifically to ask whether the courses are offered, it is estimated that not many people can enjoy this kind of treatment in Jeon Peking University.

Lin Han nodded repeatedly. He was completely paddling now, and his teammates had already started to curse, "That's right, this time is pretty good."

Cai Yu didn't know that Lin Han was anxious to play games, so he slowly said: "By the way, I forgot to tell you something. I have recommended your name and work to the Swedish Academy of Literature. This year's selection has begun."

"It started so early?"

Lin Han was extremely surprised. Although he always regarded the Nobel Prize in Literature as his goal, he also knew that it was difficult to impress the judges with science fiction works, especially when he was still so young, it was not his turn to be senior.

So he simply shifted his goal to the Oscars. At least it would be easier for the Oscars and could see nominations.

Just now, he won an Oscar in February this year. Although it is not the best work or writer and director, it is just the best original script.

"It's getting late. According to the Nobel Prize in Literature, the recommendation book will be held by the Swedish Academy of Literature before January 1 every year, and the selection results will be announced around November 1. I have recommended your works for two consecutive years. I don't know if they can be selected by the judges!"

Cai Yu also knows that Lin Han has little hope for winning the award recently, one is the subject matter restrictions, one is the age restrictions, and the other is the nationality factor.

Mo Yan only won the Nobel Prize in 2012. The judges of the Nobel Prize for Literature cannot give this prize to a Chinese so quickly. Of course, they also have times when they are very willful.

It cannot be said that it is impossible, it can only be said that the possibility is low, after all, everything is possible!

The Nobel Prize for Literature stipulates that only academicians of arts colleges of various countries, professors of literary history, Chinese language from universities and other universities, and former Nobel Prize winners, will the chairmen of writers' associations in various countries have the right to recommend candidates.

One of the reasons why Lin Han joined Peking University is that Cai Yu once promised to help recommend his works, otherwise Lin Han would have to find other relationships!

There are more than 300 nomination letters for the Literature Award sent to the Swedish Academy of Literature every year. So many lists have to be screened to obtain qualification confirmation, primary election, re-election and final election.

Lin Han sincerely thanked and said, "Principal Cai, thank you for your recommendation. Let's do your best now."

"Don't be upset, either." Cai Yu said comfortingly, "Since the Literature Academy can award the Literature Award to a singer, why can't it be awarded to science fiction literature? It's always a bit of hope."

He then added, "Of course, don't be blindly confident. It's better to keep these secrets and not make a big deal, otherwise some media will embarrass you after the result comes out."

Lin Han knew Cai Yu's good intentions very well, and he replied: "I know this, thank you!"
