"Death is Coming 2" is undoubtedly also a success, and with the word-of-mouth blessing of the first part, the box office is likely to rise to a higher level.

At that time, the box office of the first part was close to 3 billion, so this time it is likely to be able to get 4 billion box office.

In the horror genre, this is already a pretty good box office in China.

So the next day, Xia Xunfang personally called to congratulate Chen Xiao on breaking through 200 million at the box office.

It's just that this is just incidental, on the other hand, the main thing is to congratulate Chen Xiao on getting the Oscar nomination.

Yes, Xia Xunfang, who has been paying attention to the Oscars, found that Chen Xiao's movie was included in the list of nominations.

It's just that the nomination is not "The Grim Reaper", but another movie, "Resident Evil".

Of course Chen Xiao knows this, because this movie was sent to the Oscars by him, and now that he has been nominated, of course, he himself knows it for the first time.

"Resident Evil" was nominated for a total of seven Oscars, including Best Film Editing, Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound, Best Picture, Best Screenplay, and Best Foreign Language Film.

Seven nominations, that seems like a lot, right?

But in fact, it's really not much, if it's a literary film, it's not surprising to get ten nominations at once.

However, Chen Xiao is only a commercial film, so seven nominations are not less.

Among these nominations, the Best Film Award is undoubtedly the most golden, and it is also the most fiercely contested award of all films.

Chen Xiao felt that he had little hope.

However, it seems that there is a nomination for the Best Picture Award, at least it has gilded "Resident Evil", and it can be said that this movie is nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards in the future.

Of course, Chen Xiao didn't make movies for these awards, otherwise he could have made "Slumdog Millionaire", "Green Book" and the like, if it is made, it is not too much to win an Academy Award for Best Film, right?

After thinking about it, I can make a film when I have nothing to do in the future, and it's not bad to win an award and have fun.

Despite this, many people on the Internet have now begun to discuss wildly.

"I'm not mistaken, "Resident Evil" was nominated for an Oscar? And there are seven in a row, is this going to contract the Oscars?"

"It's really fake, didn't this product just have a wave at the Boao Forum for Asia, and now it's going to the Oscars again?"

"This means that the Oscars don't have the 'Best Costume Award', otherwise Chen Xiao would have been unable to bear it a long time ago, and he would have been able to wait until now?"

"Speaking of which, "Resident Evil" seems to be the first sci-fi movie in China to be nominated for an Oscar, right?"

"You're wrong, it's not just science fiction, you see if there have been any Oscar shortlisted movies in Huaxia in recent years? And do you know what the dream of the Chinese film industry is now? It's just an 'Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film', now I hope Chen Xiao can break this curse." ”

Speaking of Oscar, it is actually a sad story in China.

In order to have a 'little golden man', Chinese filmmakers have never given up.

Relying on fiery passion, he moved forward again and again, but fell at the door of the Kodak Theater again and again.

The journey of Chinese filmmakers competing for the Oscars can be traced back to the 19th century when a Chinese-American film won the Oscar for Best Cinematography.

Later, after a martial arts movie won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, this award became an unattainable dream in the hearts of Chinese people.

Chinese films are eager for this award, and the annual competition is also more lively, and in the end they all fail miserably.

When will another pure Chinese film be able to win the Gold Award again?

Moreover, the requirements of Chinese filmmakers are generally not high, just a best foreign language film.

It's a sad thing.

It's pathetic......

Therefore, Chen Xiao feels that he may be able to help Huaxia directly win the highest honor of best movie in the future.

Just copy it, it's all proficient anyway.

If you don't make money, you won't make money, you can win the award first, and then screen it, if there is an Oscar, then the box office should not be too bad.

Oscar is like a pool of deep water, and under the splash of the waves is a surging undercurrent.

And the Oscar was pushed to the status of the world's attention, in addition to its own industry benchmark status, there is a deeper reason, that is-interests.

According to insiders' estimates, if a film is nominated for an Oscar, its box office value will increase by about $30 million, and if it wins, it will increase its box office revenue by $20 million.

Therefore, if you can win the Oscar, you may really not need to worry about the box office.

It is precisely because of the succession of Chinese filmmakers that "Resident Evil" has been hyped up again and has been reported by major media.

"This year's Oscar nominations have been announced, and this time "Resident Evil" has received seven nominations, and it is also the only Chinese film shortlisted this time. Director Lin Feng, director Zhang Xiangkun, and director Feng Shi'an have been dreaming of an Oscar, and director Lin Feng won the Palme d'Or with a film 20 years ago, but when he confidently entered the Oscar, he only received disappointment. Eight years later, the second shock fell into the ice cave. Director Feng Sai On was also abandoned by the Oscar when he first hit the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. ”

In contrast, Zhang Xiangkun has been defeated repeatedly, but his Oscar complex is reluctant to give up, after his first film was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and then he sent a film every few years, each time it was vigorous, and each time it returned empty-handed. ”

Although many filmmakers, including Jiang Suping, said that the Oscars are people's festivals and awards. But facing the Kodak Theater, many Chinese filmmakers have always been in the mood of "pilgrimage". Chinese movies can win the Golden Lion and the Golden Bear, why can't they hold the little golden man?"

"And this time, Chen Xiao sent his film to the Oscar for the first time, and this Oscar nomination undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention to him, Chen Xiao has always been a high-profile star in the film industry, from the first movie to the present, he has continued to create one legend after another, so this time can he pick up the little golden man for Huaxia again?"

How many years, how many years has China not touched the little golden man.

So basically every movie that gets an Oscar nomination is extremely concerned.

Moreover, after the film won the award, the return to the actors was also quite rich, not only did the value climb, but they could get substantial material returns, and they could even leave a strong mark in the history of world cinema with the authority of the Oscars.

This is also why so many people have been going forward and wanting to get a little golden man.
