Chapter 848: A Millimeter Difference, a Difficult Counterattack!
The Grand Center hosts several similar awards ceremonies and concerts each year, and the buzzing audience is ready for the bustling audience, with live streaming channels on Youtube and Fox in place.
More than 25 million teenagers have voted for their favorite idols on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and the event's official website, and now is the time to announce the results.
Even with the time difference, there are still tens of millions of Internet users on the other side of the Pacific in China, who want to see if "The Matrix" can win in the United States!
Even if this award is chosen by American teenagers, not them, Chinese teenagers.
"Wow, there are so many celebrities now, they all look happy, one by one."
"Add chicken legs to the cameraman, I saw a lot of pictures of Miss Shen Yanling, and the beauty was overturned~"
"How many awards do you think The Matrix will win?"
"It's still my hometown, the box office champion in North America was lost so quickly, and we are still holding on here."
"It seems that the momentum of "The Matrix 2" in North America is not very good, and I don't know if the momentum will be too bad on a global scale."
"Support The Matrix~"
"Take away Chu Guang's handsome brother, Chu Guang is mine, no one is allowed to rob it!"
"Contracting Uncle Xu, this type of uncle is simply the favorite."
"Since you have all contracted, then I will reluctantly confess to Teacher Bailin."
The barrage refreshed quickly, dazzling to watch.
The dense barrage almost blocked the video, and many people were so unbearable that they simply blocked the barrage, so that they could watch it with peace of mind.
The atmosphere here is very high, and the celebrities writhing regardless of the size of the coffee seat, and they don't worry about whether they can win awards after attending!
In fact, there is a small unspoken rule in it, and the organizer usually specially invites the award-winning crew to the scene.
It's a bit like the closing ceremony of the Cannes, Berlin, and Venice film festivals will invite the award-winning crews back, and most of the time they won't go back empty-handed.
The crew of "The Matrix" received such a hint, and the nominations they got were indeed a bit much, so the three leading actors went out together!
As for which award can be won and how many awards can be won, the organizers are very tight-mouthed and did not disclose the slightest.
This is actually normal, if the result of an award is known in advance, it is a huge harm to fairness, and it may become a shady scene!
Xu Jiayan and several people have been practicing English for a long time, and Rao is so that he can't understand the stalk of the host on stage, this is to be familiar with American culture to know, not to be able to speak English.
After a long restless wait, the awards began to be handed out one after another!
"The movie that won the best action film at this year's Teen Choice Awards is "The Matrix"!"
There is not much suspense, the fights in "The Matrix" were originally highly praised, Xu Jiayan tidied up his clothes and went on stage to accept the award on behalf of the crew.
Who knew that he had just walked backstage with a surfboard, and the actor who had been awarded the best action movie in front of him called his name!
As a last resort, Xu Jiayan had no choice but to turn around and return to the stage, with a surfboard under his armpits.
This initial posture really scared a lot of people.
It's just begun, is "The Matrix" going to kill you?
After the audience saw Xu Jiayan's two surfboards, they screamed excitedly, and even whistled!
It can be seen that they really like this movie.
Coincidentally, the winner of the best action movie actress awarded next still belongs to "The Matrix", and Shen Yanling also performed a decent martial arts on stage.
After temporarily placing the surfboard in the backstage staff, Xu Jiayan and Shen Yanling returned to the audience again.
"If I knew that I was going to win the award, the first award should have been let Chu Guang go up and receive it. This way, the three of us have at least one surfboard per person. ”
Xu Jiayan is still thinking about how to bring these surfboards back later, is it possible that she has to find a place in the United States?
Chu Guang replied unmindingly: "There should be a chance to go up and receive the award later." ”
As a mixed-race child, he did not face much resistance in Hollywood, his appearance was already very Westernized, and he also had a big-budget sequel.
In the next time, just like Chu Guang said, "The Matrix" is unstoppable!
Chu Guang, who won another city in the Best Sci-Fi Fantasy Movie and was nominated for Best Sci-Fi Fantasy Actor, also successfully got his own surfboard.
This momentum has not slowed down until the best sci-fi fantasy actress, Shen Yanling has won a piece before, and this award goes to another popular young actress!
The awards ceremony has just begun, and "The Matrix" has five surfboards, which is already the most awarded in a single film!
The whole Teen Choice Awards seem to be non-existent for other movies, even if there are TV, music, fashion, and social media awards in between, but people are most concerned about how many surfboards "The Matrix" can take away.
The award ceremony has become a stage for its own people!
"The Matrix" will not slow down because of these people's ideas, Xu Jiayan won the best villain without dispute, and Chu Guang and Shen Yanling won the best screen kiss award together.
Eight nominations, seven hits!
The one that fell was because Shen Yanling already had an identical award, and the hit rate was simply terrifying.
Not to mention the domestic audience, even the American audience was surprised that a movie swept the Teen Choice Awards!
"Crazy call the Matrix crew!"
"Bunker!"
"Can it be a little tougher? With so many surfboards, do you have to transport them back by truck? ”
"Hahahaha, I'm curious to know if the members of the crew can surf."
"The box office of "The Matrix 2" must be strong, your brother is so competitive to win awards."
"The boss wins the award, the second one reaps the box office, there's nothing wrong!"
"It's a pity that Mr. Lin didn't go, otherwise he would have seen it."
……
Before the award ceremony ended, Lin Han had already received a message from Xie Xin, seven awards at an award ceremony, no matter where they were placed, they were all well-known.
"The Matrix" is so competitive, he only hopes that the sequel "The Matrix 2" will be able to compete when facing "Minions", and it is best to win the box office title the following weekend.
It seems like an impossible task, and no one holds out hope!
On Friday night in North America, it was already Saturday morning on the mainland, and Lin Han got up early and ran more than ten kilometers before returning home, and he was actually a little idle recently.
New movies are released, new works are sent to space, new TV series don't need him to promote, he goes to bed early and gets up early every day, accompanies his daughter-in-law Chen Jiaxuan, and goes out to walk the dog and exercise from time to time and read a few books.
"It looks like it's really going to break the box office record!"
Chen Jiaxuan held a cup of golden milk from the Golden Pasture, the price of this milk is not cheap, one cup is equivalent to more than a case of ordinary brands.
The world's limited milk is very high in calcium, produced in Australia's most famous golden pasture, and is very easy for pregnant women, children, and the elderly to absorb.
After Lin Han supervised her to drink a glass of milk, she replied: "It should be, the reputation has not collapsed, and the trend is quite good." It seems that you can collect another 200 million box office today, and another 150 million on Sunday, which adds up to almost 2.75 billion, and if it falls on weekdays next week, you can get 500 million box office in a week, and you can grind it over! ”
"I'll just say you're still suitable for filmmaking, right?" Chen Jiaxuan said happily, "At the beginning, you didn't say that you were suitable for writing, and you didn't want to make movies anymore." Now if you make a movie, you will directly break the box office record, have you broken the total sales record? ”
"Anyway, my global sales have exceeded 100 million copies, and I can circle the world several times in a row."
"Yes, yes, aliens are going to be scared of invading the earth, and there is fragrant milk tea around the earth outside, and the laser cannon can't penetrate it!"
Chen Jiaxuan complained and said that she is usually worried that the radiation of her mobile phone is too large, so every time she plays with her mobile phone, she makes a radiation-proof clothing to seek some psychological comfort.
Now brush the micro. Bo saw a screenshot of an overseas media post on the account "Those Things in the United States", and now he knows what happened on the Teen Choice Awards.
"The 2018 Teens' Choice Awards are over, and The Matrix is home with a big win!"
On June 18, local time in the United States, the 2018 teenagers won the lottery at Grand Middle School in Los Angeles, and many popular stars appeared at the event, and the atmosphere was warm. Hot moms Jessica Alba and Jennifer Garner appeared one by one, while Xu Jiayan, Shen Yanling, Chu Guang and others won awards. ”
"At the award ceremony, Smith Engineer Xu Jiayan squeezed his eyebrows when he took the stage to receive the award, with a rich expression!"
"The three leading actors of The Matrix are combined on the spot, reproducing the classic pose of the poster!"
"The Teen Choice Award has been announced, and Neo and Agent Smith are fighting for popularity!"
"The crew of "The Matrix" is proud of the spring breeze and won seven awards!"
"The Matrix swept the Teen Choice Awards, and the eight mentions and seven were eye-catching!"
Most of these are well-known media outlets, such as Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, CNN, The New York Times, New York Daily News, and so on.
So much so that when the award results just came out, the Matrix jumped to the first place on Twitter's popular discussion list!
After all, social media is the world of young people, and this is a movie that they voted for!
Of course, the Teen Choice Awards are certainly not as influential as the Golden Globes and Oscars, but it also has its own unique audience.
The effect of the award was fast, the number of discussions on social media exploded, and even the number of people who watched the first movie of "The Matrix" on the Internet skyrocketed.
Time passed little by little, and fans of the "Matrix" series were nervous, and they all knew that this might be the last chance for "The Matrix 2" to win the championship.
If you can't beat "Minions" in the second week, the box office will definitely be lower in the third week, and there will be new films released at that time!
The gold content of the two consecutive championships in the summer file is not comparable to the unpopular schedule, whether it is "The Matrix 2" or "Minions" are working hard for this weekend's championship.
However, the best news for "The Matrix 2" is to see that "Minions" has suffered negative reviews on professional reviews, which means that its box office trend may not be so ideal.
Rotten Tomatoes has a freshness rating of only 55%, which is a significant gap compared to the 81% of its predecessor "Despicable Me" and the 74% of "Despicable Me 2".
In terms of IMDB scores, "Minions" currently only has a score of 6.5, and there is not much room for growth.
The Meta-Critic authoritative media score is only 56 points, which is also lower than the 72 and 65 points of the previous work.
Such a professional evaluation performance can only be regarded as so-so for an animated blockbuster.
"Empire" magazine gave a serious bad review, "The film uses an inconsequential plot to connect a series of-pee-fart grade laughing pee." ”
"Variety" magazine also did not have a high evaluation, "The concept of the film is strong, but the story is weak, you may not want your children to watch this movie." ”
In terms of audience ratings, "Minions" is only A-, which is significantly lower than the A+ of "The Matrix 2", after all, there is an A in between!
One party has just won the award, and the momentum is magnificent; The other side has a poor reputation, and the audience evaluation is low.
fell together, and finally let people see the possibility of overtaking!
The entire North American market is excited about the two films, and it's been a long time since we've seen two blockbusters so close at the box office.
In the past, the weekly box office champion seemed to be quite far behind the runner-up, and now the winner of "The Matrix 2" and "Minions" will have to be determined on Sunday!
Because on Saturday's box office, "The Matrix 2" rose significantly, and 3,891 theaters earned $38 million at the box office.
And "Minions" has plummeted to $30 million compared to Friday's 40 million box office.
In this way, The Matrix 2 recovered an $8 million disadvantage!
In two days on Friday and Saturday, "Minions" accumulated $76.2 million, "The Matrix 2" earned $67 million, and the two sides still have a gap of 10 million!
Can this gap be recovered?
Lin Han has this question, and many netizens in the United States also have such doubts!
10 million, that's not as easy as 1 million.
Even if Lin Han's fans have called for it on the Internet, even if fans of the Matrix series enter the cinema for the second and third time, even if the news of the sweep of the Teen Choice Awards spreads around the world.
Those merchants who had product placement in the "Matrix" series also increased their publicity efforts at this time, and Twentieth Century Fox seemed to wake up at this time and added another five million dollars in publicity funds.
But no one is sure to win!
Even if "Minions" has a bad reputation, it has a lot of fans, and it is still the only cartoon on the market, and children can only watch this cartoon.
When North America arrived on Monday, the box-office employees were anxiously calculating the box office, and they did not dare to announce the results, because the box office data of the two films were too close, and a slight error could lead to the reversal of the champion and runner-up positions!
"The box office came out on Sunday, "The Matrix 2" grossed $34 million, and "Minions" fell another 30% to $24.5 million!"
In other words, this week's box office champion "The Matrix 2" beat "Minions" with $100.7 million and narrowly won with a gap of $300,000!
Such a tiny gap, an impossible task, was realized!
