Chapter 460: Getting What You Want (End)

Previous Chapter

"Despicable Me", as the third animated film of Changsheng Entertainment after "Kung Fu Panda", has naturally attracted much attention.

The film was not short to make.

Of course, the investment is also large.

The market is naturally very optimistic about the box office of this movie.

Nowadays, the market for domestic animated films is getting bigger and bigger.

After "Kung Fu Panda", domestic animation has also produced two extremely good films, and the box office may not be as good as "Kung Fu Panda", and the influence is even worse, but it has also made investors make a lot of money.

This undoubtedly further stimulated the development of domestic animated films.

And "Despicable Me" is a top production, and fans' expectations are naturally high.

What's more, this movie is also the third collaboration between Zhang Sheng and Yang Qi.

The two of them have collaborated on two animated films before, and the results are too impressive.

It's just that what many people didn't expect was that this "Despicable Me" was the first to be released in North America like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

"Despicable Me" is scheduled for Christmas and New Year's Day in North America.

It was released nearly a month earlier than in China.

The character characteristics of this movie can almost be seen at a glance that they are European and American.

This is undoubtedly even more unexpected.

This has set off a lot of heated discussions in China.

Could it be that this is another film for foreigners?

When did Zhang Sheng please North American fans like this?

Doesn't he know that the country is where his foundation lies?

Public opinion is turbulent, but for Changsheng Entertainment, this is not a crisis.

It's easy to PR.

Hollywood can make a Chinese-style movie to make money in the Chinese market.

So why can't we make a European-American style movie and make money in markets such as Europe and the United States?

Isn't it fragrant to earn their money with their things?

This is the real glory for the country.

There are some things, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable.

Whether the public is justified or the mother-in-law is reasonable, many times it depends on how public opinion is guided.

The Christmas and New Year's Day schedule is definitely a very good schedule in Europe and the United States.

During the same period, Hollywood blockbusters were released.

However, the type is different and the impact is limited.

"Despicable Me", a purely European and American style animation, is still very popular with North American fans.

Among them, the Minions are talked about by countless fans.

And the film and television peripherals of the Minions naturally sold very well.

Although the box office of the film did not top the single-day box office list in North America on the first day, with the fermentation of word-of-mouth, the number of theaters increased, and soon suppressed the Hollywood blockbuster released at the same time and reached the top again.

and won the throne of the North American weekly box office champion.

And judging from the popularity of the film, this movie is likely to break the box office record of "Kung Fu Panda" in North America.

When this news came back to China, it still caused a heated discussion.

And this naturally played an excellent role in promoting the film's promotion in China.

Therefore, at the end of January, after "Despicable Me" was released in China, the box office went all the way up.

This movie has a proper European and American style, whether it is the character image, or the story background.

But can you tell it's not a Chinese-language movie?

No!

Because whether it is the investor or the producer, they are all Chinese filmmakers.

This is a Chinese-language movie.

What's more, the three children in it are Chinese children in the eyes of many people.

And they are the good guys in the film.

This naturally makes domestic fans very satisfied.

Of course, there is not much to argue about whether this movie is a Chinese-language film or not.

There is no doubt that "Despicable Me" has become the biggest winner of the Spring Festival stalls.

None of the films released at the same time could pose a threat to it.

The film naturally topped the single-day box office list.

Not many people were surprised that this animated film was a big hit.

If it fails, it is surprising.

It's more envy.

Of course, the most enviable thing is naturally its foreign box office.

This made the major domestic film and television companies red-eyed.

How can animated movies still be so fun?

As for whether there will be imitations and filming and production of such animated films, it is unknown.

Still, it shouldn't be much.

They haven't figured out the domestic market yet, so they began to think about the foreign market, the step is too big, and it is obviously easy to get the egg.

Zhang Sheng and Changsheng Entertainment dare to do this, that is, their animated films have long been focused on the global film market.

And the domestic market is already in its pocket.

What kind of porcelain work does you have without that diamond?

"Despicable Me" is still hotly discussed in China, and because it is the first to be released abroad, some countries and regions have begun to paint.

The box office is excellent, and the film and television peripherals are also selling extremely well.

This movie made Changsheng Entertainment make a lot of money again.

Of course, the most profitable is Zhang Sheng.

The Spring Festival stalls are not over yet, and the shortlist of finalists has been announced at the post-Golden Dragon Award Music Festival and the Golden Eagle Award.

And this Golden Dragon Award is undoubtedly the one with the highest attention over the years.

Countless people want to see if Zhang Sheng can win the Best Director Award for the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Among domestic directors, Zhang Sheng is definitely the most internationally renowned.

But among the big domestic directors, only Zhang Sheng has never won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director.

The Golden Dragon Award owes Zhang Sheng a best director!

This topic comes up almost every year.

And "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" did not live up to the expectations of fans.

He was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Score, Best Film Song, Best Cinematography, Best Cut, Best Costume Design, Best Art Direction, and Best Action Design.

There is no doubt that the film became the film with the most awards.

It's not just this one.

And what about Zhang Sheng?

He was personally nominated for Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, as well as Best Score and Best Film Song.

One person was shortlisted for five awards.

This is obviously a record-breaking.

In fact, Zhang Sheng also participated in costume props, art direction, action design, etc.

In addition, he was involved in cutting.

It's just that these Zhang Sheng are not famous.

""Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a bit fierce!" Gu Sisi looked at Zhang Sheng with some shock.

She knew that Zhang Sheng made this martial arts film mostly to win awards.

Even if Zhang Sheng never admitted it.

But if it's for the box office, it's obviously better to make a sci-fi movie.

Gu Sisi doesn't think that Zhang Sheng made such a martial arts film in order to fulfill his martial arts dream.

Zhang Sheng has his own martial arts dream?

Yes!

What man doesn't have a martial arts dream?

What's more, Zhang Sheng is still a martial arts practitioner.

However, his martial arts dream is obviously not like this.

Zhang Sheng filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to win awards, and Gu Sisi, like many others, thought that this movie would be a big hit at this Golden Dragon Awards.

It's just that no one expected this movie to be so fierce.

Directly broke the record for the most nominations.

And Zhang Sheng has been shortlisted for five awards.

It's a mess.

"It's just a shortlist, it's too early to say whether to win the award or not." Zhang Sheng said lightly with a smile.

"Just pretend!" Gu Sisi said with a smile, "It is said on the Internet that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is going to sweep this Golden Dragon Award. ”

Is it loaded?

There really is.

Zhang Sheng was plain on the surface, but he was excited in his heart.

Was the original film so fierce?

I don't know.

Because the original version doesn't seem to be participating in the Chinese film awards.

The Oscars have been shortlisted for ten awards, but after all, the Oscars are more competitive.

Although the original version was not shortlisted for the actor award, the actor's acting skills were highly recognized by the public.

As for whether the film will be shortlisted for multiple Oscars like the original, it will take some time to know.

"Are you going to the awards ceremony?" Zhang Sheng asked.

"Of course!" Gu Sisi said, "Your highlight moment, how can I be absent." ”

As for her being nominated for Best Actress for this movie, she didn't care if she was there or not.

She didn't actually think she could win the award.

She went, it was to see Zhang Sheng come to the stage to accept the award.

received the Best Director Award that he had always had in mind.

"No problem, right?"

Zhang Sheng looked at Gu Sisi's bulging belly and asked with concern.

"What could be the problem?" Gu Sisi said, "This kid is quite well-behaved. ”

The maternity check-up came out to be good in all aspects.

Gu Sisi's pregnancy reaction was not great.

What's more, the third trimester is not as dangerous as the first trimester, so it is naturally okay to participate in an award ceremony.

The Golden Dragon Awards ceremony has not yet arrived, and the shortlist for the Oscars has been announced.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is still very eye-catching.

It was shortlisted for ten awards, including Best Picture, Best Foreign Language Film, and Best Director.

And this award is almost the same as the Oscar that the original version was shortlisted for.

The list of Oscar nominees was announced, and it was full of topicality.

directly pushed the popularity of the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to an unimaginable height.

And the click-through rate of this movie on the video network skyrocketed instantly, and it directly won the first place on the single-day click list.

The heat didn't last long before it faded.

However, after the awards ceremony, the popularity of the film is expected to rise again.

The Golden Dragon Awards ceremony is coming soon.

Zhang Sheng and Gu Sisi attended.

When the two walked on the red carpet, they instantly caught everyone's eyes.

The most eye-catching thing is not Zhang Sheng, the favorite to nominate for five awards, but Gu Sisi.

Everyone's eyes fell on her, not because she was nominated for Best Actress again and had the opportunity to be a queen of three films, but because she had a big belly, which was too conspicuous.

Although before, there was also news that Gu Sisi was pregnant.

However, this is the first time she has appeared in front of the public after she is pregnant.

Zhang Sheng and Gu Sisi entered the venue, and Li Zhenguo and others were already seated in their positions.

Li Zhenguo was shortlisted for Best Actor, and naturally returned to China to participate in this Golden Dragon Award ceremony.

And he has been in the film for so many years, and it is the first time he has been nominated for Best Actor.

Of course, it's not that he can't act, but that he shoots all action movies, and his acting skills are limited.

For Li Zhenguo, it is naturally good to win the award.

He also wanted to take it.

No, he also let everyone see his acting skills with this "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

The box office of this movie may not be the highest among the movies starring Li Zhenguo, but it undoubtedly plays the biggest role in his development in Hollywood.

The award ceremony began shortly.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the best art direction and got off to a good start.

However, the best costume design was not won immediately afterwards.

Zhang Sheng's first award was for Best Score.

Subsequently, he won the award for Best Original Song.

Winning two music awards didn't cause much of a splash.

After all, Zhang Sheng's musical talent is well known.

It was no surprise that he won the award.

It's not the first time he's taken it, either.

Of course, the theme song of this movie, whether it is an English song or a Chinese song, is sung by Gu Sisi.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was very popular, and then won Best Cinematography and Best Action Design.

And the best cut, next to the other films.

Subsequently, Zhang Sheng won the Best Original Screenplay Award again.

Zhang Sheng has won this award many times, I'm afraid he forgot about it.

An award with no sense of achievement, Zhang Sheng naturally doesn't attach much importance to it.

Porter only.

He wasn't the one who won the prize.

However, in the eyes of many people, Zhang Sheng deserves this award.

The first screenwriter in China, he deserves it.

Even many people think that looking at the world, he may be well-deserved as the first screenwriter.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won another award.

Now the win is already sealed in advance.

In terms of the number of awards, it has become the biggest winner of this Golden Dragon Award.

As for whether it can break the award record, it depends on the next awards.

It's just that the next Best Supporting Actor Award, Zhang Sheng did not win the role of Luo Xiaohu.

He took it lightly.

Now, he has won three awards.

More than this, not much.

Of course, the main thing is that he didn't think he could win an award for this role at the beginning.

However, the next Best Supporting Actress award was won by Zheng Shuying.

Zheng Shuying won the podium with tears in her eyes, and she was naturally grateful to Zhang Sheng.

After her comeback, she suffered too much.

Now I've survived it, and I've cleared the clouds.

After Zheng Shuying starred in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", her drama appointments were endless.

Now that she has won the Best Supporting Actress award, her career will definitely take off.

An actor is not popular, and he may really only have one work left.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a double heroine, but it is Gu Sisi who is shortlisted.

It's not that her acting skills are better than Yang Ziyu, but the reason for the role.

It's just a pity that Gu Sisi couldn't be sealed again.

She wasn't so upset about it.

A movie queen, for her, has no promoting effect.

Of course, if you are shortlisted, everyone wants to take it.

Not depressed, there is still some loss.

Best Actress failed to win, but Lee Jin Kwok won Best Actor for this film.

As for why you can take it?

One is that Li Zhenguo's performance in the movie is really amazing.

Another reason, presumably also related to his competitors.

This year's film roles nominated for Best Actor seem to be not as good as in previous years.

It's a bit short and tall.

However, Li Zhenguo does have the strength of an actor, at least in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he can afford the word "actor".

When Li Zhenguo came to power, he couldn't hide his excitement.

And he naturally thanked Zhang Sheng.

He also had to be glad to have taken such a movie.

After Best Actor, there are two awards left to be awarded.

Among them, the one that has attracted the most attention is the best director.

The winner of the Best Director Award was: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Zhang Sheng! Congratulations to Director Zhang."

When Zhang Sheng heard this, he immediately stood up with a smile.

"Whew!"

Zhang Sheng couldn't help but exhale.

He was too nervous just now, but now his emotions are released.

And Gu Sisi next to him also got up and hugged Zhang Sheng.

He knows very well that the award that Zhang Sheng wants to win the most is this best director.

Now it's got it.

"Bang Bang!"

Applause erupted, one after another.

Such a warm applause is definitely the first time.

From this applause, it is not difficult to see that Zhang Sheng deserves this award.

There is even some expectation of the meaning.

"Finally got what I wanted"

Zhang Sheng suppressed the excitement in his heart and indifferently made a speech.

It's not easy!

And "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" then won Best Picture, becoming one of the few films to win Best Director and Best Picture at the same time.

In this year's Golden Dragon Awards, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was nominated for 14 awards and won 10 awards, becoming the biggest winner.

This is undoubtedly a new record.

Maybe it's several records.

Zhang Sheng was nominated for five awards and won four.

At the end of the award ceremony, Zhang Sheng's topic of "getting what he wanted" was unparalleled.

And the popularity is amazingly persistent.

The popularity has not completely faded, and Zhang Sheng won five awards at the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Soundtrack, and Best Director with this film.

Compared with the original version, there is one more best director.

And Zhang Sheng also became the first discursive filmmaker to win the Oscar for Best Director.

Zhang Sheng has been praised by countless domestic media as a legend of Chinese films.

A living legend.

And his legend has only just begun.

Testimonials:

It was expected to be completed this month, but it was much less than planned.

My wife was hospitalized and cut off for more than ten days, and I couldn't find any feelings.

It's sunny again.

I guess my first yang is asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic, so I didn't feel anything and passed.

This time Eryang was a little annoyed.

I can't find that feeling, and I don't have the passion to write down.

There's no need to write it down anymore, so let's finish it.

Although I am not satisfied with the end of this way, I will only be more dissatisfied when I go down.

My wife is not in very good shape right now.

There is also a reason for this.

The new book is probably going to have to wait.

I don't know when I opened a new book, there were still a few people who had an impression of me as a street writer.

Alas!

I took a shower last night, and I was afraid that the symptoms that had been finally alleviated would recur, so I didn't dare to wash my head, but simply flushed it.

And then

I feel like my head is going to explode now, and I have a low-grade fever again, and I feel dizzy.

It's all tears.

Eryang should not be taken lightly, and it should be paid attention to.

Finally, thank you for your support.

This book is not very well written, the first order is more than 1,000, and now the high order is more than 10,000, and the average order is not much different from the high-quality product.

Thank you for your support, and I hope to see you again for the new book.

Thank you!
