At 10 a.m. on March 25, a milestone event in the development of Chinese films was reached, and the mainland box office of "Interstellar" exceeded the 5 billion yuan mark.

When Wang Zhonglei received the notice for the first time, he was not happy, not excited, but emotionally from the heart.

Ten years ago, the annual box office of mainland films was less than one billion yuan, but ten years later, the box office of a movie has exceeded 5 billion, and it continues to set higher records, which is really unimaginable to him before.

Of course, what is more worthy of his amazement is Nie Wei.

When he signed Nie Wei, Wang Zhonglei was just optimistic about the other party's appearance and good acting skills, and felt that Nie Wei would become a powerful idol actor, and if the future development may go well, it would be great to be able to achieve Huang Xiaoming's achievements today.

But after Nie Wei entered Huayi, every year brought him infinite surprises, and it can even be said that it is precisely because of the signing of Nie Wei that there is today's Huayi Company, Wang Zhonglei has long dared not estimate Nie Wei's upper limit at this time, in his opinion, Nie Wei's upper limit is infinitely high, and he even has a sense of self-danger, afraid that he will not be able to keep up with Nie Wei's footsteps.

So in the past two years, Wang Zhonglei has signed up for a lot of related courses, and picked up the textbook again after 20 years, hoping to make himself more fulfilling and ready to meet future challenges with Nie Wei.

Huaxia TV also spent one minute on the evening news to report on this matter when "Interstellar" exceeded 5 billion box office.

Nie Wei also appeared on the evening news for the third time with his works after Inception and The Martian.

In addition, the film and television channel deliberately released an hour-long interview with "Interstellar" during the prime time of the evening.

This time, Huaxia TV specially sent a camera team to follow Nie Wei's crew for a month to shoot, and the program team was also able to hold back, until "Interstellar" broke 5 billion before it was released.

In the one-hour interview, many of them are tidbits from the on-site shooting, the daily work of the actors, in addition, there are interviews with Professor Keane, and even interviews with domestic astronauts.

When the reporter interviewed Nie Wei, he also specifically mentioned this issue.

"That's right, the Explorer in the movie really has a lot of Chinese aerospace elements, thanks to the help of the teachers of the Aerospace Institute, we have cooperated in "The Martian" before, and this is the second cooperation, so the tacit understanding is more sufficient. ”

"Did you add elements of China Express Airlines to the movie to cater to the mainland market?" the reporter asked again, and the question was a little sharp.

Nie smiled and shook his head.

"It's not that I want to cater to the mainland market, but that our Huaxia aerospace technology already has a pivotal position in the world, is at the top level, and it is already the most important part of the world's aerospace engineering. ”

"It's like the "Gravity" released in the middle of the year, and the heroine is the one who returned safely to the earth in our Chinese capsule, doesn't this also prove that the success of our country's aerospace industry is recognized in the world?"

"And my film, everything is based on realistic science, if reality can't do it, I will become very fake when I join the film, just like 20 years ago, if I made this movie, I said how powerful our China's aerospace industry is, how many talents and equipment there are, then the audience will feel that this director must be bragging, and foreign audiences will definitely not agree. ”

"But now, when I add these elements, the audience will only take it for granted, not only domestic audiences, but also foreign audiences, in their hearts, China's aerospace industry is also very strong. ”

Nie Wei's explanation won a round of applause, and after the show was released, there was also a round of applause on the Internet.

With the development of society and the improvement of the living standards of the people, everyone is obviously paying more and more attention to spiritual construction, and the whole people seem to be eager for a sense of identity.

Nie Wei is also proud of the motherland from the bottom of his heart.

is like this "Interstellar", as he said, if the motherland's aerospace industry is not so strong, even if he wants to integrate Huaxia's aerospace elements into it, I am afraid it will play a role in adding to the snake, but the motherland's aerospace industry is very strong, which gives Nie Wei confidence, so that he can let go of his hands to add Huaxia's elements to it, and he does not need to worry about being questioned and ridiculed.

Of course, at the end of the show, the reporter didn't forget to ask Nie Wei about the Saturn Awards and the Oscars.

"The Oscars are at the end of March, and the Saturn Awards at the end of May, and you have been nominated for Best Director in these two world-class awards, I want to know which of these two cups do you want to get the most?" the reporter asked curiously.

Nie Wei faced the camera, showed a confident smile, and replied: "Only children do multiple-choice questions, and I choose them all!"

Nie Wei didn't expect that his speech would soon become popular on the Internet, and even became a buzzword for this while.

Especially in a short video APP that he just launched, many anchors took the dubbing of Nie Wei's words and took a lot of interesting short videos.

For example, those who take out two pieces of sugar, those who take oranges and apples, and those who take wolfberries and jujubes, in short, are varied and very lively.

Nie Wei didn't expect that his casual words would cause such a big response.

The mainland box office of "Interstellar" exceeded 5 billion, and there was good news in North America that the North American box office of "Interstellar" has reached 290 million, if nothing else, this movie can break through the 300 million mark in the North American market.

The Oscars are about to be held, and Nie Wei got these good news, which is also a good sign in his mind.

"Interstellar" exceeded 5 billion at the box office, created several fabulous records, and also invisibly influenced many people.

Zhang Ziyi, as the starring role in this movie, has benefited a lot.

Many people regarded Zhang Ziyi as Gonghuang's successor before, after all, she and Gonghuang were both picked up by Lao Mou, and when Zhang Ziyi first debuted, she even had the nickname of Little Gonghuang.

This nickname did bring Zhang Ziyi a lot of popularity at that time, but it also brought a lot of troubles to her star journey.

Even when Zhang Ziyi was at her peak, she couldn't get rid of this nickname, so that she always seemed to lower Emperor Gong's head by half.

But now it's different, Zhang Ziyi, who has a box office heroine of 5 billion, finally got rid of the original title of 'Little Gonghuang' and completely became Zhang Ziyi, no one compares her with Gonghuang anymore, because Zhang Ziyi's current success can no longer find a reference among domestic actresses.

She is her, the unique Zhang Ziyi.

In addition to Zhang Ziyi, Keanu also re-entered the public's sight, he didn't have to get drunk with a homeless man late at night, nor did he have to sleep in the park to make the front page of entertainment news, the public's attention refocused on him, he seemed to have returned to the popular period of "The Matrix", and now Keanu is walking on the street, and some people are starting to want to ask him for autographs again.

There is also little Foy, who is unexpectedly popular in Huaxia, and many viewers have become fans of little Murphy, thinking that this character is bold, smart, and of course cute.

In China, her popularity is not even inferior to the male and female protagonists Zhang Ziyi and Keanu.

Nie Wei is already ready to arrange a professional Chinese teacher for Xiao Fuyi to teach her Chinese, and when she learns Chinese well, she will definitely surprise her fans when she comes to China to do publicity.

In addition, "Interstellar" exceeded 5 billion, which also stimulated the market value of Huayi and even Nie Wei's other industries.

In just one day, Nie Wei's worth has risen by at least one billion.

And the value of Wang Zhonglei and other shareholders of the company has also soared, and Mr. Wang has come to the company with a bright smile in the past few days, and he has not returned to his usual serious appearance.

Huayi Company is also all happy, and every employee is much more active in their work, after all, with the big sale of "Interstellar", the company will definitely be more generous at the annual meeting, and everyone will get more benefits at that time.

Huayi's partners also sent congratulatory messages after "Interstellar" broke through the box office of 5 billion, and the general manager of Huaying also specially asked Wang Zhonglei if he wanted to hold a celebration banquet together.

This time, Huaying invested 10 million yuan, and it also made a lot of money.

The celebration banquet must be held, but Wang Zhonglei doesn't want to do it now, because there is no main master.

Nie Wei took Shu Chang and the crew members to Los Angeles at this moment, preparing to participate in the Oscars ceremony on March 31.

He thought that if Nie Wei could win the Oscar, then he would return to China with the Oscar trophy and hold a celebration banquet together at that time.

"Mr. Wang, how much do you say Mr. Nie can get from going to Oscar this time?"

"I don't know. Wang Zhonglei replied that this question may not even be answered by those judges.

The selection of Oscar-winning works has to go through too many people, and the confidentiality measures are also very well done throughout the process, maybe someone will know the inside story, but there are definitely not many, and this will definitely not include Wang Zhonglei.

This is also the biggest surprise to the winners by preserving the suspense and letting the suspense remain at the moment when the awards are announced at the award ceremony.

For example, in China, some award ceremonies either share cakes or simply sell cakes......

This is the reason why Nie Wei has rarely participated in domestic award ceremonies in recent years, because there is no need, maybe some stars need these cakes to increase their resumes, but Nie Wei has no mind to take a look, even if Nie Wei knows that as long as he is willing to participate, these awards are all willing to give him the biggest piece of cake.

Of course, this is also Nie Wei's giving domestic film and television practitioners three points of leeway.

In a year, I don't know how many artists rely on these awards to add glory to themselves, if Nie Wei really participates in all of them, it is destined to be a sweeping journey, and he will inevitably grab most of the cake, which is equivalent to cutting off the way forward for others.

Nie Wei wants these cakes to be useless, but others are useful, so Nie Wei simply doesn't worry about them, and keeps these cakes for those people to share, people who understand will naturally know how to remember him, and it doesn't matter if people don't understand, it's all a favor anyway.

As always, the Oscars were held at the Huaxia Grand Theatre in Los Angeles.

The star-studded day, countless Hollywood big-name stars all attended, and Huaxia TV also deliberately bought the broadcast rights, because this year's Oscars had Nie Wei's participation, and Huaxia's film and television people were finally no longer spectators, but joined in as participants to compete for the gold award.

Because of Nie Wei's previous sentence 'I want them all', this Oscar broadcast also attracted countless mainland audiences.

The rapidly rising ratings, accompanied by Nie Wei's debut, soon broke the previous record of broadcasting the Oscars.

Obviously, many people want to see if Nie Wei can get his own Oscar.

Soon the answer will be there.

In the list of winners of the Best Original Screenplay, the name written is Nie Wei.

This is also the first time that a Chinese screenwriter has won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, and many people thought that Nie Wei would be very excited, but standing on the podium, he looked calm and calm.

"This trophy not only belongs to me, but also to Professor Thorne, and to many aerospace researchers in China, who have provided me with a lot of scientific theories and technical support, allowing me to complete such a script as an ordinary person......"

Nie Wei is very good at being a man, even if this kind of honor is shared, in fact, most of the people can remember him is the only one who can remember.

made a good start, and Weibo was boiling.

"Nie Wei really won the Oscar, Best Screenwriter, it's amazing!"

"The trophy of the Oscar, our mainland film festival has finally produced a great person who can win the Oscar, Nie Wei is too powerful. ”

"Sure enough, he is an award-winner, there is no award that Nie Wei can't win, and the Oscar is no exception. ”

"It's just a best screenwriter, don't get excited, there are a lot of highlights ahead!"

Then the award for best visual effects was also won by "Interstellar", and in this award, "Interstellar" really has no rivals.

It's just that after winning these two trophies, the good luck of the crew of "Interstellar" seems to have run out, and the announcement of several awards in a row has all failed.

Zhang Ziyi was very lost, and her Oscar-winning dream was shattered two hours later.

However, it is worth mentioning that Leonardo finally fulfilled his dream of being an Oscar, and his wonderful performance in "The Revenant" conquered the Oscar judges, and they finally gave Leonardo an Oscar trophy for Best Actor.

There are only a few dozen minutes left before the end of the awards ceremony, and the only two awards that have not been announced are Best Director and Best Film, and coincidentally, "Interstellar" has also been shortlisted.

In the list of best director shortlists, Nie Wei is the youngest, and when the guests on the stage announced the finalists, among the four blocks cut off from the big screen on the stage, Nie Wei's young and handsome face was particularly conspicuous, attracting the attention of countless people present.

If Nie Wei wins tonight, then he will also become the youngest best director at the Oscars.
