Chapter 757: A Qiao Feng's Gap
In Hong Kong, a battle of encirclement and suppression began in late January.
On January 20th, Golden Harvest's troubled children were the first to be released.
This film about the old Shanghai Tang in the thirties has a huge cast, and the leading stars are Golden Harvest's leading kung fu superstars Hung Jinbao and Yuan Biao.
There are also film and television stars such as Lin Zishen, Anita Mui, and Lin Yilian joining, which makes the film in the troubled times even more lively.
The plot of the film is quite ups and downs, and the final turning point is not bad, and most of the martial arts action in the film is also remarkable, this must be inevitable, with Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao, the two kung fu superstars, the martial arts scenes are not bad.
On the first day of release, the children of troubled times won two million box office, which was a very good result, and it was a good start to this battle of encirclement and suppression.
But Children of the Troubled Times is a pure action movie after all, and the comedy action style that Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao are best at, is still a little different.
Naturally, there are many viewers who like to watch their comedy action and don't like this more serious action movie so much.
Because of this, the audience evaluation of the children of troubled times is a little polarized, and some of them feel that this film is still exciting, and there are many stars, and they like to watch it very much.
But there are also some viewers who don't have a high evaluation of this film, the reason is that this is not the style they are familiar with Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao, and they are not used to watching it.
Affected by this polarized evaluation, in the next three days, the daily box office of the children of troubled times decreased slightly, but it still cut five million box office in three days.
The box office came up with seven million in four days, although it can't be compared with those who moved more than 10 million in three days after the release, but it still met the psychological expectations of Zou Wenhuai and Qiao Feng.
When the time came to the fifth day, the biggest news in recent times, two of the most high-profile films, Nirvana Corps and Three New World, were released.
But what was unexpected on this day, it wasn't the release of these two films that dominated the popular conversation and news headlines.
Rather, it is the results of the 49th Golden Globe Awards from Hollywood.
Ten days ago, the list of nominees for the Golden Globe Awards was announced, and Silent Lambs, directed by Hong Kong director Cheng Gang and starring mainland actress Gong Li, was nominated for a total of five awards.
As many nominations as another big hit, "Born on the Fourth of July".
For ordinary viewers who are not professional film practitioners, the Golden Globes are naturally far less worthy of their attention than the Academy Awards.
However, when there are Chinese among the nominees, and one is a local director in Hong Kong, Hong Kong people who don't care about these will also ask others if Cheng Gang has won the award on this day, and by the way, ask if Gong Li has won the award.
When the award was presented in the United States, it was already close to noon in the morning on the Hong Kong side, and it was impossible to get the results of the award from the newspaper as soon as possible.
So, on this day, radio and television have become the things that Hong Kong people pay the most attention to.
At half past ten in the morning, the first good news for Qiao Feng was ushered in, that is, Captain Hook, who received only one nomination, won the Best Actor in a Musical Comedy by Dustin Hoffman.
Of course, the Hong Kong people who pay attention to the award are indifferent to this, even if this is a movie invested by Qiao Feng, but the winner is an American, and he has a hairy relationship with Hong Kong people.
What they want is for Cheng Gang to win the award, at most plus Gong Li.
With the awards going from unimportant technical awards to important awards, it was finally the turn of the Silence Lambs to be nominated for several awards.
The first award was the Best Screenplay Award in the Drama category, and Qiao Feng, who was nominated, was disappointed, and the winners were Ron Kovic and Oliver Stone of "Born on the Fourth of July".
"Rub, shady, it must be because Lao Tzu didn't show up, so the award was given to someone else." Watching the awards ceremony broadcast live on Jade Channel on TV, Qiao Feng was very gloomy.
followed by Best Actor, which was still unsuccessful, and the winner was Tom Cruise, who was nominated for "Born on the Fourth of July".
The camera swept over the faces of several nominated actors, and Qiao Feng could clearly see the disappointment flashing in the eyes of Professor Anthony Hopkins.
"Lao Huo is too calm, isn't he just a Golden Globe actor, what do you care about, you are the man who wants to win the Oscar with the least scenes." Qiao Feng muttered to himself.
The Best Actor award was followed by the Best Actress award.
When it was the turn of Best Actress, Qiao Feng, who had always been indifferent, finally stopped calm.
Because there is Gong Li among the nominees.
And Gong Li can't be compared with Anthony Hopkins, Lao Huo can't win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor and Oscar Actor to look forward to, but if Gong Li can't win the Golden Globe Award, then he will basically stop cooking.
The screen crosses the faces of the nominated actresses in turn, Sally Field, Jessica Lange, Andy McDowell, Gong Li, Michelle Pfeiffer.
The last Michelle Pfeiffer came out Qiao Feng knew her because she was the most favored actress among the five Best Actress nominees.
The five nominated actresses were taken care of by the photographer in turn, and when the camera captured them, each actress was very skillful in sorting out their expressions.
Raise your eyes, then show your face and give the camera a confident smile.
And when the camera couldn't shine, one or two of them looked nervous and solemn, and Qiao Feng could almost imagine Gong Li's nervous appearance.
Gong Li's expression must have pretended to be relaxed, but Qiao Feng, who was familiar with each other, was very clear about Gong Li's small movements when he was nervous, that is, he kept taking deep breaths.
At this time, Emperor Gonghuang's towering chest must have risen and fallen violently, and most of the big brothers are undecided.
"Mantian God Buddha, Rulai, Jade Emperor, Allah, God, you must bless my family Gonghuang." As the award presenters opened the envelope, Qiao Feng also began to temporarily cram, praying to the gods and goddesses.
"The winner of the 47th American Film and Television Golden Globe Award for Best Actress was Gong Li, The Silence of the Lambs."
"yes, it's won, it's been won." When he heard the awkward pronunciation of Gong Li from the mouth of the award presenter, Qiao Feng jumped three feet high excitedly.
At this time, Gong Li's delicate face crying with joy also appeared on the TV, and Qiao Feng directly pounced on it and licked the screen.
Some people rejoice, others grieve.
Gong Li won the award, although the other four actresses politely cheered up and applauded, even Michelle Pfeiffer, who was separated by two seats, gave Gong Li a hug before Gong Li came to the stage to accept the award.
But after finishing his expressions, the disappointment and frustration in his eyes are still difficult to hide.
Especially Michelle Pfeiffer, who is very personable, and she is the most disappointed of the four.
Who made her the one with the highest demand for the award before the awards? Who made her play the movie Baker Brothers did not perform well at the box office, and can only hope for a good harvest in the awards.
But contrary to expectations, Gong Li absolutely crushed her both at the box office and awards.
Not only did the starring Silence of the Lambs box office do well, ranking first at the box office for five consecutive weeks after its release, but it also grossed $15 million in the first week alone, and the cumulative box office in the United States reached more than $130 million, and it also won Best Actress.
But what can be done, Gong Li has a good man, she Michelle Pfeiffer doesn't, and neither do the other three actresses.
This is the biggest gap, the difference between them and Gong Li is not a Golden Globe Award actress, nor is it a bad box office of more than 100 million US dollars.
That's a Qiao Feng gap!!
