Chapter 687: Awards Season Arrives

"Take a break for a while, King Kong, come here, I'll tell you what kind of body movements and eyes you should use for this shot." The Grandmaster took off his baseball cap, looked up at the scorching sun, and shouted at the set.

It's strange to say, the weather in the eastern capital is a bit strange this year, it's the end of October, the temperature is still above 25 degrees, and it hasn't rained for more than half a month......

King Kong walked over, and the Grandmaster said to him, "This scene is a scene where the Devil Terminator sweeps through the police station, you have to show the precision of being a robot killer, and don't make superfluous movements. For example, when using the MP5 submachine gun to strafe, don't twist your body back and forth, you just need to look at it and then make a gesture of raising your hand to shoot, so as to reflect the accurate marksmanship of the Terminator. ”

King Kong nodded.

In his previous life, when Brother Arnold was filming "The Terminator", he was really still a little young, and Cameron had not yet reached the level of Dacheng at that time, so "Terminator 1" looked at it from the perspective of later generations, and many actions were very green and even ridiculous.

Some of Arnold's movements are even overtly performative.

For example, the scene where the Terminator swept the Los Angeles Police Department, in the previous life, this scene was certainly quite popular, but some of Arnold's shooting actions are really unbearable.

You say you're a completely computer-controlled robot, and you still need to deliberately aim when shooting?

This kind of robot killer from the future, it is definitely a sharpshooter who can hit the deadly part of the target with his hand raised, so when filming this scene, King Kong must be able to lift his weight lightly and kill people when he raises his hand, so as to reflect the ruthlessness and disregard for life of the robot killer.

King Kong obviously made the same mistake as Arnold in his previous life, so the Grandmaster shouted "CUT" and specially gave King Kong a lecture.

After more than half a month of filming, King Kong has made great progress, so as soon as the grandmaster gave him a lecture, he immediately understood what to do.

Then the next scene was filmed extremely smoothly, and of course, the kind of goofs in this scene in the previous life will naturally not appear again.

The No. 1 supporting actor in the film, the human sent back by the future leader of the Resistance to protect his mother, is a little-known actor, but although this actor is not well-known, his acting skills are good, and he cooperates with the heroine quite tacitly.

The three protagonists are getting better, which makes the filming speed gradually faster.

After all, this movie is only a film of less than two hours, and the shots are much less than that of "Forrest Gump", if it weren't for King Kong slowing down at the beginning, this movie would have been shot in less than a month and a half.

By the end of November, the film was finally completed after two months of shooting.

Of course, Li Maohua is not used to seeing the grandmaster's filming speed, and Zhang Liangdong, as the assistant director, after experiencing the initial surprise, slowly accepted the grandmaster's filming speed.

After holding a graduation banquet in a large hotel in the Eastern Capital, the grandmaster returned to Tiandu with the crew, and the post-production should be carried out as soon as possible.

After New Year's Day, the new year came, and the major awards in Hollywood also kicked off.

The first to be held was naturally the Golden Globe Awards.

The Golden Globe Awards in this world are similar to the Golden Globes in the previous life, and they are a film award second only to the Oscars in Hollywood and even the world's film industry.

"Forrest Gump", which earned 5.361 billion yuan worldwide last year, has become the biggest hit in this year's awards season.

"Forrest Gump" not only has a good reputation, but the box office is even more blind.

After ten weeks of domestic screening, the film earned a total of 3.045 billion yuan at the domestic box office.

The overseas box office, after ten weeks of screening, finally exceeded 2.3 billion Chinese dollars, and finally closed at 2.316 billion Chinese yuan. As for the box office generated by the extension of the screening in a few theaters in the United States, it will not be counted in the box office statistics.

In the end, the total box office of "Forrest Gump" reached an unprecedented global box office, and it is estimated that it is difficult for descendants to break the 5.361 billion yuan!

And the total box office of the global film market last year, under the strong leadership of "Forrest Gump", broke through 90 billion Chinese dollars for the first time, reaching an astonishing 906 Chinese yuan, an increase of 6.1 billion Chinese yuan over the total box office of the film in 2017!

And the total box office of "Forrest Gump" also accounted for 6% of the total global box office last year!

Compared with the amazing box office, the reputation of "Forrest Gump" is also explosive, and in the ranking of the camera network, "Forrest Gump" also topped the list with a score of 1.75 million people and an average score of 9.4 points!

It can be said that in 2018, the Grandmaster created a myth in the world of cinema!

In the Golden Globe nominations announced in early January 2019, Forrest Gump received a total of seven nominations, including Best Picture in a Drama, Best Director, Best Actor in a Drama, Best Supporting Actor in a Drama, Best Screenplay, Best Score, and Best Supporting Actress.

At the Golden Globe Awards ceremony held at the end of January, the crew led by the Grandmaster won all seven nominations at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, becoming the biggest winner of the 2019 Golden Globes.

And with this movie, the Grandmaster became the sixth director in history to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Director for the first time!

In addition to the Golden Globe Awards in January, there are many other heavyweight awards, such as the Hollywood Directors Guild Awards, the Film Critics Association Awards and a series of union and association awards.

In fact, compared with the Golden Globe Awards, this more professional union award and association award is the most accurate weather vane of the Oscars.

Among these fragmentary awards, "Forrest Gump" still won countless awards in a state of sweeping all the way.

At this point, no one doubts that "Forrest Gump" will sweep this year's Oscars.

Sure enough, among the various Oscar nominations at the end of January, "Forrest Gump" shocked the world again.

"Forrest Gump" was as expected, and in the Oscar nominations, a total of 16 Oscar nominations were received, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Soundtrack, Best Visual Effects, Best Costume Design, Best Film Editing, Best Sound Editing, Best Makeup, Best Art Direction, and Best Original Song.

This result shocked everyone, not only that these sixteen nominations are the most nominated films in the history of film, but more importantly, the Oscars have a total of more than 20 awards, excluding awards such as Best Foreign Language Film, Best Short Film, Best Animated Film, Special Achievement Award, etc., "Forrest Gump" has almost all the award nominations in the Oscar Main Awards! This is unprecedented!
