Chapter 59 Charity Screening? (4/5)
Best Director and Best Film were finally awarded to "Birdman"...
This is something that is expected in itself.
But I still feel a little disappointed. At least I won four goals, which is already very good compared to 1 of 6 in "Bloody Times"...
However, the Oscars' reviews are not high and the ratings are very low. The 36.6 million TV viewers, a sharp decline from 43.7 million last year.
There are many reasons, and in summary, most of the films that have been nominated tend to be niche and are not "favorite" enough;
There are not many unpopular awards in various types, and there is a lack of surprises, which almost makes people "won every guess"...
The Washington Post even teased: Harris claimed to be "a competent person in charge of any presidency", but eventually fell at the Oscars.
As for "Gravity", I'm sorry, no reports were found...
I gave you the nomination for Best Director and Best Picture, what else do you want?
However, "Georgement" became the second film to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which has sparked a lot of discussion in China...
Needless to say, almost half of the entertainment industry congratulates Lu Xiaoran on the contents: "Congratulations to Director Lu, congratulations to "Gravity"..."
As for whether it is sincere congratulations, is it important?
Feng Xiaogang was also preparing to forward a Weibo post. A bunch of people rushed in in the comment area and left a message: "Why don't you say that the road is still long this time, and keep working hard?"
"I'm still waiting for you to send 'I'm called that'..."
"Does your face hurt? Do you envy? Do you have it?"
Well, all Lu Xiaoran's fans know that he and the Beijing Circle, Feng Xiaogang, and Hua Yi are not dealing with...
It's understandable to irony!
Director Feng could not stand this? ‘Bang’, his phone was smashed...
Isn’t it just the best foreign language film? I’ll shoot one too!
...
Lu Xiaoran originally thought the team would be very disappointed, but after all, he didn’t get any important awards. Only after returning to the hotel did he realize that the group of people were already crazy!
“Best foreign language film!”
“…No, I didn’t get the best director…”
"I never thought you could get it!"
"We did what we did. Are you unhappy?"
"The three major Europeans have won awards, and the Oscars have won awards... Now there is no strategy for the best video!"
They are really happy, not pretending...
Lu Xiaoran felt a strange feeling...
"It's just the best foreign language film. Is it necessary to be so excited?"
“…Oscars were born a hundred years ago, and only seven movies in Asia won the best foreign language films. What else do you want?”
“No, for Americans, the best foreign language films…”
"…Your phone rings."
OK, Lu Xiaoran paused, took out his cell phone and looked at it. It was A Mou.
He first congratulated Lu Xiaoran, who expressed his confusion.
"I really think the best foreign language film is not a big prize..."
Amou said: "Don't be unsatisfied... It's not that easy to win awards abroad today, because China cannot always be a hot topic and will cool down. For example, the suffering Middle East and local wars, places where terrorist activities occur frequently, those people's thinking is very powerful in the context of suffering, much greater than our thinking today. "Gravity" won the best foreign language film, which has proved your ability!"
"Don't be lost, keep making good movies!"
Lu Xiaoran: "I'm not disappointed, I just feel a little confused. Why do many people feel very proud?"
"After all, it's an Oscar. We old guys haven't got it. If you get it, it proves that you are better than us!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaoran was still a little awkward...
The reason is very simple. He is the only one in the world who knows that "George" won the Oscar for Best Director, but now he can only win the Best Foreign Language Film, so he feels uncomfortable...
But others don't know!
Mainland movies won the Oscar for the best foreign language film, achieved a zero breakthrough, and have created history...
In one sentence, bring glory to the country!
On Weibo, his fans were already crazy and left messages all over the screen: The boss is awesome! He brags about "Gravity"...
The halo of the best foreign language film of the Oscar is still useful. "Georgia" has amplified the release scale, and 600 theaters have re-released. In the next seven days, the box office of $3 million was once again sold, and the box office in North America successfully exceeded $250 million...
This is also the final box office.
By the way, "Detective Chinatown" was also released in 401 theaters in North America, focusing on Chinese settlements. Of course, the box office of this movie was not very high, and it only earned 1.8 million US dollars in the first weekend...
It's hard to break $5 million in the final box office...
...
At the exit of the airport, Teacher Lu was surrounded by a bunch of media...
"Xiaoran, can you talk about your mood for winning the best foreign language film?"
"Of course I'm in a good mood. It's better to win the prize than not to win it!"
"You talked about the differences between the East and the West in Time magazine. Do you want to say that the Oscars are unfair?"
"There is nothing fair or unfair. There is no award in the world that is certainly fair and just. Since I went to the award ceremony, I will admit it!"
"Why don't you go to the Golden Horse Awards?"
"…ah?"
"Why don't you participate in the Golden Horse Awards?"
The reporter emphasized again...
"Because I can't win the award even if I go there. Some people said, 'There are no good movies in the mainland, only big-name movies'!"
"Detective Chinatown was exposed to plagiarizing "Detective Sherlock". What do you want to say?"
“…what stuff?”
"Some people on the Internet say that many of the shots of "Detective Chinatown" are plagiarizing "Detective Sherlock"..."
"It's total slander..."
After getting rid of the reporter, Lu Xiaoran got into the car and asked Li Mo directly: "Someone said we were plagiarizing?"
“…Well, there are very few people, I just ignored it…”
"Please send a statement..."
"Director, our box office has exceeded 2 billion. Do you want to thank the fans?"
"So fast?"
I clicked on Orange Ticketing and took a look. As of March 8, 18 days after the release, the box office of "Detective Chinatown" exceeded 2 billion...
However, the single-day box office has dropped to 50 million...
Still the same thing, the popularity of commercial films is unlikely to continue...
There is basically no hope for 3 billion.
"Do we want to spend some resources to strive for more than 3 billion?"
"...No, even if this movie doesn't work, there is a sequel." Lu Xiaoran thought about it for a while and posted a Weibo: "Detective Chinatown" has 2 billion yuan, and I feel a little bit emotional. After all, this is a purely original movie. Thanks to this era and all the audience for their support! The journey is long, and we will not forget our original intention???!"
Li Mo hesitated for a moment: "Actually, if we try a little, the above will not say anything! We can do charity screenings..."
The so-called public welfare screening is to buy movie tickets from the cinema under your company and show them for free for specific groups of people...
To put it bluntly, it is a box office win!
Orange has a cinema itself, with the left hand facing the right hand...
Very convenient!
Chapter completed!
