It was only after Christmas that people realized that 2004 was fading away.

It's the season of various year-end awards again, and as a Chinese science fiction film, "Source Code" was shortlisted for the Saturn Award for the first time. After this news was transmitted back to China, it caused a wave of celebration. Compared with the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film or something, it seems that the Saturn Award, which specifically rewards science fiction films, seems to be more difficult to get a nomination. This award has always been the preserve of American films.

Chinese sci-fi films have become the biggest favorites to win awards, and with three nominations, Chen Tiandu has almost single-handedly pulled Chinese sci-fi films to the international level. For a while, the topic of Chinese science fiction in the domestic media became farther and farther: ""Source Code" opened the door to Chinese science fiction genre films and rewrote the history of domestic science fiction without science fiction ......" and Zhou Qunshu, the film director, also rose to the top, and the next movie was rapidly planned, and I heard that someone asked him to make science fiction.

In this regard, Chen Tiandu's own evaluation was noncommittal, "Keep a normal heart, the success of this movie doesn't mean anything." ”

I've been very active lately, and I come out from time to time to show off my comic attributes and funny skills, and even my wife occasionally comes out to hack him. There are more self-blackening, but the number of blackmails has decreased, and the hatred of the rich and racists has gradually turned into fans.

↗ also specially accepted an interview with Tencent Entertainment, saying: "Compared with the United States, where science fiction literature, science fiction TV, and science fiction movies are more developed, my country is still in its infancy, and it is difficult to make up for it through one or several movies." The success of "Source Code" is just an accident, but at least it proves that there are also huge sci-fi fans in China. ”

It is rare to interview the great god, and the editor boldly asked: "How big is the gap between domestic science fiction and world science fiction movies?" ”

Chen Tiandu said earnestly: "The road has to be taken step by step. Don't be too ambitious. ”

"The science fiction culture in the world is more developed in the United States. Whether it's science fiction literature or science fiction comics, science fiction movies, television. Compared with. We are still in the early stages. On the one hand, the concept of science fiction is not as mature as theirs, and they have been doing it for almost a century. On the other hand, the difference is in the audience market, the social technology application index, the number of our fans, groups, and audiences, not to mention the United States, there is also a big gap with Japan. That's about one-tenth the level of the United States. ”

The editor was quite worried, "Such a great god, will you still make science fiction movies in the future?" Some people say that this "Source Code" is just a test of the waters that you have prepared in advance for the next sci-fi film, is that right? ”

Chen Tiandu smiled: "I'm just over thirty, although I have become an uncle, I am not old." There is still a long way to go in the future, of course, I will shoot science fiction. I firmly believe in the vast potential of the domestic market, and "Source Code" can indeed experiment with something, but deliberately use a film to do anything. This is too much and disrespectful to other staff members. About the next sci-fi film. I do have some ideas, but the schedule has been tight lately, and I don't know when I will be able to make the trip. If it were possible, I would love to set the story in China and make a real domestic sci-fi blockbuster. ”

The editor was very excited, "God, what do you think of the future of domestic science fiction movies?" ”

Speaking of this question, Chen Tiandu's face was quite heavy, and he said: "To describe it in five words, that is, 'there is a long way to go'." As I said earlier, "Source Code" is just an example, and there are not many directors in China who can make good and are willing to make sci-fi. At least those old-timers, there is no hope, I am very optimistic about the younger generation of directors. Their minds are more receptive to the concept of science fiction and are willing to try, and maybe science fiction in the future will rise in the next generation. But at this stage, domestic science fiction will still be weak, and the future Chinese film market will also be occupied by comedy and costume films. No more and better types can be produced. Just like in Hong Kong back then, except for kung fu and comedy, it is difficult for other movies to get ahead, of course, this is not to say that comedy is bad. It's just that I always feel that something is missing. As we all know, our neighboring country, the South Korean market, is now making very hot and developing genre films, and their small territory has a population of less than 50 million, but it can contribute far more than the film market in China, which has to make people reflect. ”

"Of course, we don't have such lofty ideals when we make this film, hoping to change the future or something? I just hope to give Chinese genre films a more watchable science fiction. ”

Tencent Entertainment's report naturally attracted huge attention.

Especially when he provoked his predecessors, saying that there are not many people who can shoot science fiction, and it depends on the next generation of young people?!

What kind of words are these, is it simply a great rebellion? The reporters who were born to coax asked questions one after another, and Cheng Kaige, who was busy promoting "Wuji", was arrested. Now that "Wuji" has not been released, he has not been scolded for his blood, so the big director is still very popular, and he talked eloquently: "Chen Tiandu said that there are not many old guys in China who can make science fiction films, and I think this old guy should also include me." I'll admit that he's done things that a lot of people don't, but lately it's a little bit different from him, he's a little bit floating, a little bit of a nobody. Whether he can make a good sci-fi film or not, it's not something he can decide, it depends on the future. ”

"So, do you want to make a science fiction film and teach Chen Tiandu a lesson?"

Cheng Kaige wanted to teach Chen Tiandu a lesson, but he didn't dare to say it, otherwise he would have to drown the huge fan base, "I can't talk about the lesson, exchange and exchange." The audience for sci-fi is still huge, and I'd love to try sci-fi if I have the chance. ”

Cheng Kaige replied, compared to Chen Tiandu's outspoken provocation of the old-timers, what he said was quite polite.

The right to report is back in the hands of reporters, and he can't help what he thinks, for a while, the headlines and reports of "Cheng Kaige called Chen Tiandu, make a science fiction film to let young people have a long insight" flew all over the sky. The audience and netizens who didn't know why were surprised and inexplicable.

"Cheng Kaige lost his mind and went crazy, he didn't shoot a good Peking Opera, and he actually called the board god. Do you really think that you are a master of world cinema after making a "Farewell My Concubine"? It's not that he helped shoot it. I'm getting less and less optimistic about "Wuji", and when the time comes, it's time to see what he says. ”

"Ho ho, this is after the Great God Godhead has been established. The first one who dares to stand up and call out the gods. Admire his courage. But I really don't like eggs touching stones. ”

"The great god of Tiandu is really right. There are not many directors in China who can make good science fiction films, or even unique. It's enough to pat the gods. ”

Chen Tian did not know all kinds of domestic discussions. And the focus of North America is definitely not on a small Saturn Award. For the glamorous dance on Christmas night, both of them were already funny experts, not to mention that there was a black fat man who claimed to be a master of dancing, and he was in a happy mood when Ao Fat won the ball. Naturally, it hits it off. Generously showed off a glamorous dance in the center of Phillips Field.

Dance is indeed a dance, but whether it is glamorous or not is another matter. No figure, no face, no cleavage, just two big fat buttocks. It makes the audience laugh, and if you expect too much, you will definitely be disappointed.

"It's unappetizing, it's better to let Chen Tiandu and Kate dance a striptease!" Some fans are not angry when they get cheap.

However, in the United States, where the news is volatile, it is always difficult for entertainment news to make headlines. At the end of this election year, the White House will always be in the spotlight. In the final vote, George W. Bush won the general election by a narrow margin and completed his re-election. When the results are announced on this day. I don't know how many Americans cried, they couldn't understand how Bush Jr. won.

Chen Tiandu also hated this white guy. But winning is winning, and who cares who loses. Before the official oath-taking, he had a tight and intense schedule of activities to prepare for his appointment. At noon on the same day, George W. Bush also hosted a banquet for 146 distinguished guests at the White House, most of whom were his family members, relatives and friends, and his parents, former US President George H.W. Bush and his wife, were also guests.

Mr. and Mrs. Chen Tiandu were the only Chinese invited, but he refused to attend the banquet on the grounds that he wanted to return to China for the Chinese New Year to accompany his parents. For this reason, there are still a lot of media discussions. But Americans have political freedom, and they don't want everyone to like the president of the United States, not to mention that George W. Bush's odds are not too different.

No matter what the outside world thinks, in short, Chen Tian has to admit that his first time to go to the political circle of the United States to publicize public relations was a failure. He is even considering whether to praise Ao Guanhai's stinky feet, because the effect of sending charcoal in the snow at this time will definitely be greater than giving Bush 10 million political donations in vain.

Since this was the first U.S. presidential inauguration since 9/11, the day's security measures were almost watertight.

In the past few days, Washington, the capital of the United States, has been covered with snow, and Washington has almost become a silver-white world, which makes Bush Jr.'s inauguration seem somewhat cold.

In the early morning of 21 January, Beijing time, the inauguration ceremony of the 55th US president will be held at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., and tens of thousands of people will brave the biting cold to listen to Bush's inaugural speech outdoors. As many as 500,000 people are expected to attend the inauguration and the march that follows in Washington.

The moment George W. Bush put his arms around his wife's waist and beckoned to the world, he was at the pinnacle of his life.

But this has nothing to do with Chen Tiandu, and he spent the New Year at home. The two little ones were almost a year old, able to crawl on the ground, and had two tender white teeth growing out of their mouths. The meat is tuggy, and you can't hold it enough.

In 2005, Chen Tiandu returned to the United States with his family and began a new work journey.

The 2004 North American box office charts are also freshly released, with DreamWorks' "Shrek 2" leading the list with $441 million, and "Spider-Man 2" being inferior to its predecessor in sequels, only achieving 373 million results, ranking second. "The Passion of the Christ," which has suffered religious condemnation, surprisingly ranked third with $370 million at the box office. The example of the sequel Hurricane also happened in "Meet My Father-in-law 2". With a box office of $270 million, it surpassed Disney's animation champion "The Incredibles" with $260 million to take fourth place.

"Harry Potter 3", which was released on Christmas Day, also failed to continue the glory of the first episode, and gradually stabilized in the North American market, and finally won $249 million at the box office, ranking sixth. After that, there is "Van Helsing" co-produced by Matrix and Paramount, which collected $235 million at the box office in North America and crossed the 500 million threshold at the global box office. This movie also helped the matrix keep the honor of "there must be top ten works at the box office every year". To be continued.
