"Wow, it's incredible that the box office is so high." On the set of Shuguang Film and Television Base, Liu Yifei's joyful voice sounded.

"yes, it's said it's going to be high, so you don't have to worry." Lin Yuquan looked at the beautiful girl with a happy look on his face with a smile on his face.

The time came to December 15th, and the screening week from December 8th to December 14th naturally came to an end. Directed by Drexon, Keanu. Reeves, Jennifer. Connelly's "Earth Stands Still" won the championship with a landslide of $30.75 million in 3,560 theaters, but this result was absolutely disappointing. Smith's "I Am Legend" earned $76.68 million at the box office. The disparity in Reeves' box office appeal is obvious.

Although it lost the weekend box office title, but for "Twilight", what does it matter, the important thing is that after another $14.11 million in the weekend box office, "Twilight" has reached a cumulative North American box office of $202 million, and the global box office has reached a cumulative total of $391 million.

At this point, the situation that originally thought that there was no hope of catching up with the global box office of "Robot Wall-E" seems to be more and more likely.

After expanding to 253 theaters, "The Painted Wall" continued to show encouraging box office momentum this week, with a single box office of $8,527 and another $2.16 million over the weekend, bringing the film's cumulative North American box office to $4.97 million. It has surpassed the box office of "Lust and Caution" of $4.62 million. As it stands. The film has every chance of hitting the $10 million mark. Ranked among the top 10 of the North American box office list of Chinese films.

The biggest surprise undoubtedly came from "Old Boy", driven by extreme word-of-mouth and amazing attention, "Old Boy" erupted this week, an increase of 166% compared to last week, and finally collected 82.46 million at the box office.

In front of "Old Boy", it was a hit this week, and the word of mouth was quite good, and "Ip Man", which earned 31.17 million box office in three days over the weekend, became overshadowed. If you put it in the general schedule. The weekly box office of "Ip Man" of 31.17 million is enough to become the box office champion, but unfortunately it happened to encounter the strong outbreak of "Old Boy", which made the producers of "Ip Man" and the main creators helpless that on Thursday, December 18, Shuguang Film's annual masterpiece "October Siege" of this year will be released.

"Women Are Not Bad" was naturally reduced to a cup, and it could only accept 13.28 million box office, which was worse than the box office of the first four days of release, but Xu Ke now can't take care of the doomed hopeless "Women Are Not Bad", but is focused on finding a screenwriter partner.

As for "Lichun", although this literary film was only released on a small scale in Shuguang Theaters. There are not many screenings, but thanks to the high attendance. In the end, the film occupied the sixth place in the weekly box office list with a box office of 1.59 million, which is definitely an unexpected surprise.

"I also knew that the box office of "Old Boy" would be very good, but I didn't expect it to be so high, 113 million in two weeks, it seems that "Old Boy" is expected to reach 200 million box office!" Liu Yifei said happily that she originally hoped that the total box office of "Old Boy" would reach 120 million, but in only two weeks and eleven days, together with the box office of Hong Kong and Treasure Island, the box office of "Old Boy" has exceeded 120 million.

"It's not a hope, it's a certainty, when the time comes, Xiao Yang will also become a member of the 200 million box office directors club in the mainland." Lin Yuquan has a strong smile in his eyes, there are currently a total of five Chinese directors with a single mainland box office of more than 200 million, including him, all of whom are mainland directors, not to mention, Ning Hao and Xiao Yang are both from Shuguang Films.

"Wow, 200 million box office director, this sounds very stylish." Xu Zheng laughed and said, as one of the actors, the box office success of "Old Boy" naturally made him feel good.

"Brother Zheng, you are also popular, all the three movies that starred in and released this year were box office hits, one box office broke 300 million, and one box office will soon break 200 million, and the box office of "October Siege" must also be very high." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"That's right, in this way, Brother Zheng, you are the highest-grossing actor in the entire Chinese film industry this year, speaking of which, the actor box office king is also very popular!" The corners of Lin Yuquan's mouth turned up slightly.

"Ahem, I just beat soy sauce in "October Siege", which counts." Xu Zheng suddenly choked.

"Why doesn't it count, even if it doesn't count, does anyone starring in a movie have a higher box office than you?" Lin Yuquan chuckled.

"Of course there is, Zhou Xun, "No Man's Land" and the upcoming "October Siege" not to mention, she has three other movies released this year, although the box office of each movie is not high, but the total adds up to more than 80 million box office." Xu Zheng complained.

"Okay, the actor box office king can't run away, it's not the same style." Lin Yuquan shrugged his shoulders and said lightly.

"Huh." Liu Yifei chuckled happily.

In the pleasant conversation and laughter, time passed quickly, and after a short break, the crew continued to shoot.

"Yuquan, you don't have to arrange for the Shifei to pick me up, I'll just take the first class flight back by myself." Liu Shishi's voice came from the phone.

"How can that work, you are also a big star now, if you are recognized, it will be very troublesome, I don't worry, what if someone picks you up and abducts you?" Lin Yuquan leaned on the sofa in the living room with a smile on his face, separating the two places, and he would talk to Liu Shishi on the phone every night.

"I'm not so easy to be abducted, and besides, I'm not a big star, I just acted in a pretty good TV series." Liu Shishi's tone was full of smiles.

"It turns out that in the eyes of our Shi Shi, this year's highest-rated costume drama "Ancient and Modern Wars of the Qin Warriors" is only a good level, and if other actresses know about it, they will probably go crazy with jealousy!" Lin Yuquan teased.

Liu Shishi, who was on the other side of the phone, suddenly turned red, and said embarrassedly: "Anyway, I'm not a big star, it's just that it's convenient to take a plane with my assistant." ”

"Will it be more convenient than sitting on the Shifei? All right. This matter was decided accordingly. You don't have to. Shifei is not stopped, after returning to Kyoto tomorrow, you have a good rest in the past few days, and as soon as I finish filming, we will set off for a vacation, to enjoy the sun, the beach, and the blue sky. Lin Yuquan said categorically that Liu Shishi did not allow Liu Shishi to question, after just experiencing a bad flight flight, if there are no special circumstances. Of course, he will not let the second daughter let Father Lin and Mother Lin leave the Shifei and run to take the flight.

After chatting for a while, Lin Yuquan hung up the phone with satisfaction, got up and returned to the room, in the room, after returning from filming, Liu Yifei had been reading the media box office reports and audience comments with relish, and looking at the smile on the girl's delicate face, he suddenly smiled. Walked up to the girl and hugged her: "It's been a long time, haven't you seen enough?" ”

"No, I don't. I love reading the comments that people are alimenting about. Liu Yifei said sweetly.

"Well, I also like to watch people praise themselves." Lin Yuquan smiled slightly: "Yifei, do you want to become the box office king of actors next year?" ”

"Actor box office king?" Liu Yifei turned his head to look at Lin Yuquan, his expression full of surprise.

"That's right, actor box office king, you also heard it in the afternoon, Zhou Xun She should become this year's actor of the year box office king, this is the second time she has been crowned the annual actress box office king after 06, and it is the third time after 05 and 06 that she has been crowned the annual actress box office king, how about it, do you want to be the annual actor box office king next year?" Lin Yuquan looked at Liu Yifei teasingly.

I have to say that Lin Yuquan's proposal is very tempting, Liu Yifei only felt that his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as a young actor, he naturally couldn't be as indifferent to fame and fortune as many actors' predecessors, if it was possible, who wouldn't want to be the box office king of actors or the queen of the emperor, he pursed his lips and said: "Of course I want to, but can I do it?" There was some unconfidence in his tone.

"Of course." The smile on Lin Yuquan's face was extremely bright, he hadn't thought about it like this before, but after this idea suddenly popped up just now, it suddenly made him excited, and he couldn't wait to realize it.

"Really?" Liu Yifei will be skeptical.

"Could it be that I lied to you?" Lin Yuquan smiled: "Okay, let me analyze it for you, my "Immediate Rescue" is scheduled to be released in the summer of next year, and the box office of this movie will definitely be very high, so if you want to become the box office king of actors, yours."

The opponent can only be Dandan, Zhou Xun, Xu Zheng, Liu Ye, Huang Bo and a few of their own people, each of them has other works next year, such as Dandan, she also has "Nightclub" and "Ocean Paradise", and you have already determined "Tongtian Empire" next year, the box office of this movie will not be low. ”

Liu Yifei nodded, and then his face became distressed, and he gestured with two fingers: "I only have two works, it is difficult to surpass Sister Dandan, Director Chen is very powerful, but Brother Hao's box office appeal is also very powerful now, and the box office of "Nightclub" may be higher than that of "Tongtian Empire". ”

"Who said you only have two works, you can just make one more, there is still a year to go, and there is no time at all." Lin Yuquan said funny.

"Of course I can make another one, but it doesn't necessarily have a good box office, it's a good movie, and it just happens to have a role that suits me, where is it so easy to come across." Liu Yifei said distressedly.

"Fool, isn't that me? Don't worry, I will definitely pick you a good script that is suitable for you to play in. Lin Yuquan rubbed the girl's hair with a smile, he not only wants Yifei to be the box office king of actors next year, but also to make Shi Shi the hottest actress on the TV screen next year, I have to say, this plan is crazy and challenging, but at the same time it is also very interesting, isn't it? It's exciting just to think about.

"Hmm." Liu Yifei smiled sweetly, of course she believed in Lin Yuquan, and as long as she thought that she might become the box office king of actors next year, her heart immediately pounded and was full of expectations.

For Lin Yuquan, December 15 was a thing of the past, and there was no surprise, the Chicago Film Critics Association announced the winners of the awards on this day as promised, in recent years, the Chicago Film Critics Association Awards and the Oscars are very consistent, "Crash", "The Departed", and "No Country for Old Men" finally won the Oscar in succession in the best picture, and this time, it awarded the best film to the animated film "Robot Wall-E", which has never won an award in the history of the Oscars, and let "Robot Wall-E" It deservedly became the big winner of this year's association awards, and won three awards: Best Animation, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Film Music, leading the way with four awards.

The high-profile "Wild Tales: Rise of the Apes", which was shortlisted for five nominations, became the second biggest winner, and Lin Yuquan himself won the best director at the second major stop since the awards season, in addition to winning the best cinematography award.

"Slumdog Millionaire", which was also shortlisted for Best Picture and Best Director, won two awards for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best New Actor after losing two major awards.

The Best Actor and Actress and Best Supporting Actor and Actress went to "Wrestler" Mickey. Locke, "Rachel's Wedding" Anne. Hathaway, The Dark Knight, Heath. Ledger, "The Reader" Kate. Winslet obtained.

As for the popular film "Benjamin. The Curious Case of Barton", "Milk", and "Frost Versus Nixon" suffered a crash at this year's Chicago Film Critics Circle Awards, and finally failed to win.

The release of this list of winners naturally quickly sparked heated discussions in the media and the public, there is no problem with "Robot Wall-E" winning the best animated film, judging from the situation of the awards season, "Robot Wall-E" has almost locked in the Golden Globe Award and the Oscar double Best Animated Film Award, but in the other three awards are more or less convincing, in terms of Best Original Screenplay, "Milk" seems to deserve this award more, Best Original Music, God, is it better than "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape", " Slumdog Millionaire" is strong, Best Picture, not to mention this award, no matter how you look at it, it seems that there is no reason why it deserves this award more than "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes", and even whether it can be nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture, it seems to be a big suspense at present, and the defeat of the Golden Globe Award has proved this very well.

There was almost no controversy about Lin Yuquan winning the best director and "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes" winning the best cinematography, and in addition to the overwhelming congratulations, people were more aggrieved for the two, thinking that "The Wild Story: Rise of the Apes" should win the best picture and the best original soundtrack, and they couldn't wait to win the best adapted screenplay.

In addition, the results of the Chicago Film Critics Association Awards have also changed the trend of predictions for the Golden Globes, and in the markets opened by various bookmakers, Lin Yuquan's odds for Best Director have suddenly decreased, as if surpassing Danny. Bauer's stance, Mickey. Rock and Sean. The rivalry between Pan grows hotter, and Anne. Hathaway's momentum for Best Actress in a Drama Drama began to overtake Kate. Winslet, Kate. Winslet beat Penelope in the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress. Cruz.

Lin Yuquan was not very disappointed that he did not win the best picture, overall, this result still made him feel satisfied, and after celebrating happily with the crew, he then called Vare. Pfister, Mickey. Rock and Anne. Hathaway three, congratulations to them.

For Lin Yuquan, the Chicago Film Critics Circle Award is just a small episode, and all he is waiting for now is the completion of "Immediate Rescue". (To be continued......)

PS: Woo, it seems that the award ceremony and awards season that I wrote recently have made many friends unbearable and frenzied, tragedy!
