Chapter 16 Nominations (2/4)

Feng Xiaogang in those years was really a national director!

Not only the audience likes it, but the advertisers also prefer it.

The advertising revenue of "Do Not Disturb 2" reached 60 million yuan, and the number of brands appearing in the film was as high as 20, and there were many close-ups.

basically offsets the cost - Feng Xiaogang + Ge You + Wang Shuo, the remuneration of the three people is almost 50 million...

By the way, "Twenty Years Old" also has advertising placement, including drinks, mobile phones, guitars, jewelry, etc., plus 11 items, with an income of 40 million...

It's not as good as "If It's True, Don't Disturb 2", after all, they are an ace combination!

As for "Let the Bullets Fly"...

On the day of the release of "Do Not Disturb 2", producer Ma Ke said: Jiang Wen gave up a huge amount of product placement advertising, so the two of them turned their faces for a while: the classic "Hongmen Banquet" in the film, the climax of the three big brothers' drama is repeated, "In this scene, several century-old liquor brands want to be implanted, and the price quoted later rose to 10 million, and the three companies are willing to go together, and each family arranges a big brother to drink, which is a real 30 million yuan." ”

Ma Ke was quite tempted at the time, and he mentioned the idea of product placement to Jiang Wen. Jiang Wen disagreed, and the two quarreled about it and almost broke up.

Why did you have to wait until the release of "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" to say such a thing?

......

"If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" is very insincere!

Filming started at the end of July, and post-production began in October, and at the same time, it was firmly announced that it would be released on December 22.

It's a wave of money-making films!

Even with Wang Shuo's book to support it, the whole story is very broken.

There is no main line at all, it is all a pile of various situations, the protagonist is constantly feeling life, but the character and relationship have not developed at all, what the beginning is like and what the end is still like...

In fact, this movie, if you watch it together with "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", you still feel very good, the first part talks about love, and the second part talks about cultivating love...

Of course, you'll have to put up with a bunch of side plots.

There are also some inexplicable close-ups of commercials...

Many netizens complained: "What a good tourism promotion + advertising film, why do you have to pretend to be a movie?"

"Pure advertising, pure poverty, pure fried cold rice, pure cheating money!"

But the film schedule "If It's True, Don't Disturb 2" beats "Let the Bullets Fly" - no way, Huayi has a good relationship with the theater chain, and the theater chain is willing to schedule the film...

If there is no film that can be played in the same period, "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 2" will definitely exceed 500 million, so it will not die, and it will collide with "Let the Bullets Fly".

So much so that the box office was overtaken the next day...

Insert a sentence, accompanied by the release of two movies. "The Watchers" was released, with a cumulative box office of 290 million...

If it doesn't go on, it won't last, and there are so many screens.

"Laughing Rivers and Lakes" was also screened...

Maybe Bona Cinema still has a small number of films scheduled - guaranteed to break 100 million at the box office!

"Zhao's Orphan" still has 5% of the film schedule, but the golden field has also given way to "Bullet" and "Non 2"...

These two movies have formed a rivalry!

The news about "Twenty Years Old" is hard to see!

Don't worry, there are still big moves yet!

- Liu Yifei is not only a drama "Twenty Years Old Again", but also a "Carol" is being released worldwide!

......

In the early morning of the 23rd, at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, the shortlist of the 68th Golden Globe Awards was announced.

Nothing else matters, the important thing is that "Carol" won five nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Score in the Drama category!

Why pentathlon?

Because Best Actress is a double nomination!

Carter Blanchett and Liu Yifei were both shortlisted for Best Actress!

Not only that, but the British Academy Film Awards, which were announced a little later, "Carol" won eight nominations, of which Liu Yifei was the best supporting actress...

If they were all Best Actresses, they would have sparked a discussion at most.

- After all, "Carol" is sure not to be introduced!

The company is also not good at publicizing it vigorously...

However, the same film, the same character, one was shortlisted for Best Actress, the other was shortlisted for Best Supporting Actress...

Directly occupied the hot search for a whole day!

Tieba, Tianya, and Weibo are all discussing this thing.

Including print media and TV stations are also interested.

What is the most important thing to promote a film, especially at a time like this?

Exposure, of course!

"If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" and "Let the Bullets Fly" dominate the Internet and print media, not giving "Twenty Years Old Again" exposure...

But you can't stop the flowers outside the wall and the fragrance inside the wall!

"China Film Report" contacted Shen Mengxi directly and asked this question: "Why did the Golden Globe Award give the Best Actress nomination, but the British Academy Film Award gave Best Supporting Actress?"

"The division of the Golden Globe is based on the plot, while the academy is divided from the actors' performances themselves; the film "Carol" may be a double heroine from the perspective of the Golden Globe, but the real story of "Carol" revolves around Carol, that is, the role played by Carter, and the academy should give nominations from this perspective. ”

"When we declared, we actually had selfish intentions, and there was basically no objection to this year's supporting actress award, it must be Melissa Leo's "Fighter", so we simply declared two heroines..."

"Oscar, I should also apply for the heroine, of course, the Oscar is also an academy award, and it is estimated that the nomination should be for the supporting actress..."

"Carol is definitely going to be shortlisted for the Oscars, I'm saying!"

"Carol" is a special type of movie, and it is not easy to introduce domestic screening, but it doesn't matter, you can see the wonderful performance of actor Liu Yifei in "Twenty Years Old Again"!"

"The Korean version of "Twenty Years Old Again" was released yesterday, mobilizing 190,000 people on the first day, and it was a good result... We also hope that the local version will do well..."

Just rub it!

At the same time, Liu Yifei's Weibo fans also mobilized, leaving various messages: "Actor Liu Yifei has been shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award and the British Academy Film Award, please support "Twenty Years Old Again"!"

......

On the evening of the 23rd, "Twenty Years Old Again" premiered...

All the staff of Mengxi Company were present, and of course, there were a bunch of media who were invited to the scene.

The media focus is definitely on the box office...

""Twenty Years Old Again" has already achieved profitability at the beginning of the project, and even DreamWorks and Disney offered a $2 million adaptation fee, which we didn't accept..."

"Because we were going to shoot ourselves, and we invited Lady Gaga and Katy Perry to audition..."

Invite an egg, it has long been set to star Emma Stone...

It's not for hype!

"Then do you think "Twenty Again" can surpass the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly"?"

Shen Mengxi really wanted to scold, these two are not the same type at all, how can they surpass?

But he still looked relaxed and said with a smile: "I can guarantee that the profit of "Twenty Years Old Again" will definitely exceed that of "Let the Bullets Fly"!"
