In the National Day release of 2014, the overall market was boosted due to the huge sales of "Heart Blossoms on the Road".
120 million on the first day and 653 million in five days, creating a series of National Day box office records. It is inevitable to break one billion.
Last year's National Day movie champion was Xuke's "Dragon King", which had a box office of less than 400 million. The second place "Escape" didn't even break 100 million. All the movies in the entire National Day movie were not as good as "Heart Blossom Road".
There are so many departments.
However, except for "Beautiful Heart", the other films received mediocre response.
This year’s National Day is very rare with several animated films being released at the same time. The "Pleasant Goat" series and the "Bear Bears" series have achieved good results, which has also allowed some companies to find new ways out, not to mention the "Return of the Monkey King" which is also an animated film.
"It also made a billion dollars at the box office.
Animated movies such as "McDull: My Mom", "Armor Warrior", "Big Head Son and Little Head Dad" all received nearly 40 million in box office in five days. The market for animated movies is as audiences become more and more accustomed to going to movie theaters.
And it started to slowly show signs of rising.
Although animated films that exceed 100 million are extremely rare, they can still make a lot of money if they can sell for tens of millions.
As for other movies, at the end of the National Day holiday, "The Ruffian Hero" received 160 million, "Dear" received 270 million, and "Golden Age" only received 35 million.
Although Ann Hui's literary film once again hit the market, it can be expected to win many awards.
This is what a true literary film is.
Like the Sunglasses King who is full of petty bourgeoisie, many of his films are not purely literary films, and he is also one of the few directors in China who is proficient in film packaging and marketing.
It can be said that Wang Jiawei is also a very good businessman. He is much better than Wang Jing and Xu Ke in business operations, but people have only seen his petty bourgeoisie movies.
He himself has said that he never considers himself a director of artistic films.
Purely artistic films cannot be sold in China, so Anhua Xu often cannot find investment. However, Chen Kexin and Wang Jiawei are not short of investment at all, and they are still active in the domestic film market.
Xu Anhua is also a person that investors are afraid of. Wang Jing invested in "Tian Shui Wai" in 2008, and Wang Jing also invested in "Dexian Fried Rice" in 2010.
In 2011, the filming of "Sister Tao" met with obstacles everywhere, but Liu Dehua missed his old love, invested 20 million, and starred in the male lead.
With Liu Dehua, the king, joining in, Yu Dong was willing to invest the remaining part. After all, before this, Bernard did not get back a dime of the cost of investing in Xu Anhua's "Aunt's Postmodern Life".
At that time, Bernard was still Pauley Bernard, and he invested in the film because of the starring roles of Zhou Yunfa and Zhao Wei. As a result, it was widely suspended across the country within a few days of its release, and the box office was terrible.
The cost of 40 million was exchanged for 5 million at the box office, and even the money for copies and promotions was not enough.
In the past four films, there was no investment from film and television companies. Only two actors, Wang Jing and Andy Lau, invested. This shows how unpopular Xu Anhua is with investors.
But there will definitely be no shortage of awards, and the National Day is also the time when the Golden Horse Awards are announced.
"The Golden Age" became the biggest hit, winning six important nominations in one fell swoop for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Original Screenplay.
Although the popularity and traffic of the Golden Horse Awards and the Academy Awards are getting lower and lower, they are still the most important awards in the country and many netizens are paying attention to them.
When the nominations were announced this time, netizens discovered that a familiar figure was missing. There was not even a single nomination for "Mysterious Superstar", and the Internet immediately exploded.
"What's going on? Why didn't Tang An's "Mysterious Superstar" get even one nomination?"
"What kind of flight? I thought the list was fake at first, and I missed it several times!"
"Well... maybe Tang An's film is too commercial. Isn't it difficult for commercial films to win awards?"
"Nonsense, it's normal for commercial films not to win awards, but if they don't get a single nomination, then there's a problem."
"Why can't commercial films win awards? Most of Tang An's films are quite deep and meaningful, but they are just easier to understand than those literary films. Should those obscure films win awards? Let them do it themselves.
Hi!"
"Cheng Long's films are commercial enough, but they don't have much connotation. He has been the Golden Horse and Golden Image Best Actor 14 times combined."
"Forget it if you don't win an award. After all, Tang An's films have won few awards. He only won Best Director twice in a row before, but not giving him a single nomination is too much. There must be something shady!"
...
"Secret Superstar" did not receive a single Golden Horse nomination, causing an uproar on the Internet.
The huge popularity accumulated over ten years, the fan base ranges from over ten to under forty or fifty. Although Tang An usually does not post anything on Weibo, does not participate in variety shows, does not interact with fans, and does not act cute, the number of fans is far higher than that of some A-listers.
There need to be more stars.
Even if you are not a fan of Tang An, but just an ordinary viewer, as long as he approves of Tang An's previous movies, he will come out to defend Tang An at this time.
For a time, words such as "The Golden Horse Shady Story" and "Mysterious Superstar failed to win any Golden Horse Awards" were among the hot searches on Baidu and Xinlang.
As one netizen said, it is normal for commercial films not to win awards, but popular commercial films have a few nominations. Otherwise, the nominations are all niche films, and the film festival lacks attention. Then mainstream filmmakers
I won’t play with you anymore.
If you don't even give me a nomination, who will join in the fun?
Cheng Long has been nominated for ten Academy Awards for Best Actor, four times for Golden Horse Awards for Best Actor, three times for Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Best Actor, and won once.
Both the Golden Horse and the Golden Statue were nominated for one Best Director nomination each.
This is to give Cheng Long a face, to show off, and to give an explanation to the audience.
There were more than ten Best Actor nominations, but no one said anything if he didn't win a single award.
But if they are not even nominated, then Cheng Long will have to become enemies with them, and the audience will not be happy.
Feng Xiaogang was also nominated for the May 6th Academy Award for Best Asian Film.
Basically every one of Zhang Yimou's films has been nominated for the Academy Awards. "The Golden Armor" has both Best Picture and Best Director. After all, it was a box office record at the time.
As the box office champion in mainland film history, the quality of the movie itself is very good. It is not just a popcorn commercial movie. "Mysterious Superstar" can at least get a few nominations.
There was not a single nomination, so no wonder netizens thought there was something shady.
However, Director Li of the Golden Horse Film Festival Executive Committee spoke up shortly afterwards. He said that the selection of the Golden Horse Awards is absolutely fair and there is no shady story. "Mysterious Superstar" was not nominated simply because the film itself did not meet the requirements of the judges.
Now, netizens were even more outraged, but Tang An, the person involved, looked confused.
I didn't even participate in the selection, how can this be a way of putting money on my face?
