After the grand slam of the three major film awards in the mainland, Zhang Tan felt quite lonely and defeated.

But soon he found a new goal, and shortly after the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival ended, the Taiwan Bend Film Golden Horse Awards announced the list of nominees.

"Source Code", which was sent by Huayi Brothers to participate in the election, won three nominations for Best Feature Film, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing.

There are no nominations for Best Director and Best Actor and Actress, which means that the best feature film of "Source Code" is also empty, and there is rarely a single best feature film that can win in the end.

As for the best original screenplay, Zhang Tan won it at the last Golden Horse Awards with "Crazy Stone", so this time, the Golden Horse Awards attracted him zero, and he was sure that he would not go to the award ceremony.

"Golden Horse Award, wait for me, I don't believe I can't conquer!"

……

It was lively and lively, and 2009 entered the end of the year.

In this year, Zhang Tan made a "Source Code" and released it, and the next movie is still in preparation, and the script has not yet been decided.

At the end of this year, there were a lot of things related to him.

"Smiling Proud Jianghu" produced by Zhang Dabeard Studio was broadcast, and was grabbed by CCTV, Tan-style martial arts was broadcast on CCTV for the first time, and the first episode of the premiere rushed to a rating of 16.257%, and has been hovering around 20% since then, and even rushed to a super record of 31.234% in the finale.

The final average rating was 21.459%, which is undoubtedly the annual crown of TV drama ratings in 2009, and Tan-style martial arts won the annual crown again.

Since the major TV stations have become more and more competitive, such ratings. It's basically hard to have a TV series do it.

And the reputation of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is also super good, and it is evaluated as a martial arts with the highest ideology.

With this TV series, it is popular all over the country. The theme song "A Laugh in the Sea" has also become a must-have street song on the streets.

"The sea is smiling, surging on both sides of the strait. Ups and downs follow the waves. ”

Singer Tan Zhang's another bombshell in the music world.

Fans who once liked the film and television golden songs he created sighed: "The detective rarely appears in the music world, but as soon as he makes a shot, he can kill a pop song in seconds, and he is definitely a lonely man in the music world. ”

After Zhang Tan heard this, he just smiled.

"Let my brother become a legend."

……

When "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was broadcast, "Source Code" was being screened in Xiangxiang and Taiwan.

It was released in 33 theaters in Xiangxiang on Thursday and received a box office of 660,000 Hong Kong dollars, ranking second in the single-day box office. After the weekend, the cumulative box office was 3.2 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office weekly list was also the second. The performance was not too good, but compared to Zhang Tan's previous "Crazy Stone", the performance was much better.

In the end, "Source Code" was released in Xiangxiang for six weeks and got a box office of 8.65 million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 7.2 million yuan.

It's not a bad box office, after all, "Source Code" doesn't have Xiangxiang actors.

The box office of mainland films in Xiangxiang has always been low, and they can get tens of millions of mainland films. Basically, Xiangxiang actors were invited to play the starring roles.

"Source Code" is a pure mainland lineup, and it got 8.65 million Hong Kong dollars, which is a big success.

In Taiwan, the performance of "Source Code" can be described as full of stamina. The Taipei box office in the first week of release was just over NT$7 million, but after a few weeks, there was almost no decline. In the end, Taipei alone received NT$56.7 million, and the box office in Taiwan was NT$76.4 million.

It is equivalent to about 15.3 million yuan.

……

Lunar New Year stalls in December. The new film "Crazy Racing" co-produced by Luying and Huayi Brothers was released, continuing the good performance of "Crazy Stone".

got 50 million on the first four days of release. It got 180 million in one month of release, and after a one-month delay, it ended with 223 million yuan. The reputation is slightly worse than that of a stone, but it is also a rare domestic masterpiece, and director Chen Li can be regarded as a famous and emerging actor.

At this time, the Golden Horse Awards held an award ceremony, and not surprisingly, all three nominations for "Source Code" were empty.

Then at the end of the year, "Source Code" was released in South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and other countries one after another, and all achieved a decent box office, probably adding up, selling more than 37 million yuan. The main thing is that the film received quite high reviews.

Japan's Asahi Shimbun said: "This is an outstanding Asian science fiction masterpiece, and the young director Tan Zhang shows in the film that he is not inferior to Hollywood's ambitions." ”

South Korea's "Chosun Ilbo" commented: "South Korean directors need to learn from Tan Zhang, a new generation of directors has emerged in China, carrying the banner of Chinese films, and South Korea also needs more directors to revitalize Korean films." ”

According to reports, a Korean tabloid said: "According to expert investigations, Tan Zhang has Korean ancestry!" Go back twelve generations. It's a Korean with a good roots! ”

Star Siam Daily, Thailand's largest Chinese-language newspaper, reported: "Source Code is a big step forward for Asian science fiction films. ”

Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao also reported: "Tan Zhang is a well-known martial arts master in the Chinese world, and his movie "Source Code" is a science fiction film, which is also amazing. ”

……

On the other hand, Huayi Brothers finally negotiated a sharing contract with Summit Entertainment in the United States, and "Source Code" will be handed over to Summit Entertainment for distribution in North America and Europe. Summit Entertainment plans to arrange the release of "Source Code" in March next year, and in January, "Source Code" will be arranged to appear at the Sundance Film Festival.

The Sundance Film Festival, also known as the Sundance Film Festival, is the world's premier independent film festival, and every year small-budget film directors from all over the world come to participate in the exhibition with their own independent films.

Once it has attracted the interest of the big studios, it often becomes a springboard for these directors to direct mainstream commercial blockbusters.

"I haven't been to the United States yet, Sasha, let's play together in the United States in a few days, feel the 'lighthouse' of the democratic world, and breathe a few breaths of 'free' air."

When Zhang Tan said this, he suddenly thought of a line in "Chinese Partner": "The American people need me." ”

Being able to travel abroad, Susa is also very interested: "Okay, I haven't been to the United States yet, when will I go, a day in advance?" ”

Zhang Tan thought for a while: "This year's Sundance will open on January 21, let's leave on the 18th, two days early, it is convenient to arrange the itinerary, and we will play in the United States for a few more days." ”

In fact, there is no need for Zhang Tan and Susa to worry about the itinerary or anything, Huayi Brothers and Summit Entertainment will arrange accommodation, food, and a car in advance. Some other trivial tasks can also be handed over to the assistant to do the work, and he and Susa can enjoy the world of the two of them.

It's time to eat, drink, play, how to be happy and chic.

Isn't the reason why Zhang Tan makes money is to be able to enjoy life as he wants.

On January 18, 2010, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Tan boarded a plane from Beiqi to Seattle, waited until Seattle, and then transferred to Utah, where the Christmas Film Festival was held in Park, Utah.

The plane passed over the Arctic Ocean, and Zhang Tan was not sleepy.

Looking out the window at the white clouds.

Taking a sip of his drink, he sighed comfortably: "It's time for the American people, who are living in the dire straits of capitalism, to feel the enthusiasm from the successors of socialism!" (To be continued.) )
