Hualiu Director

Chapter 305: Breaking Records + Breaking Records

"Hello, Li Huanying" has continued to break various records since its release. Hualiu Film and other investors have done the most recently to hold a celebration banquet.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, just after the Spring Festival holiday, a celebration banquet with a box office of over 30 billion was held in Beijing.Many of the presents from investors to Lin Hong this time were in pairs. For example, Yu Dong from Berner gave a pair of IWC couple watches.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, at the Shangri-La Hotel in Shanghai, Lin Hong and his fiancée Song Xiaohan attended the celebration banquet where the box office of "Hello, Li Huanying" broke 40 billion.

This achievement also broke the box office record in Chinese film history, breaking the original box office record of 38.8 billion in "My Motherland", and it is still breaking new records.

It is understandable that the box office exceeded 3 billion in 10 days of release, and the film schedule has risen sharply. Although it is a bit exaggerated, the box office broke 30 billion in seven days, but it is the prime time of the Spring Festival anyway, which also makes sense.

But since the eighth day of the lunar new year, it has not been the Spring Festival holiday. "Hello, Li Huanying" was able to win a box office of 10 billion in just four days, which made the outside world feel horrible.

After seeing "Hello, Li Huanying" breaking a series of records, the agencies and experts who had previously made box office predictions for this movie were slapped in the face, and then they began to make new predictions.

Considering that the theaters and Hualiu extended the validity period of the secret key to 50 days, the most conservative box office estimate is 55 billion, and most of the estimated box office are more than 60 billion.

On March 3, bj time, the 8st day of the first lunar month, the film was released for 21 days. Although the box office growth has slowed down, after accounting for 68% of the film schedule, the box office of "Hello, Li Huanying" finally exceeded 50 billion.

In order to commemorate Ms. Li Huanying, this celebration banquet was specially held in Xiangfan, Hubei, and it was in the old factory where the filming took place.

Hualiu Film and Television prepared big red envelopes for the crew and cast and crew. Three of the leading actors received a big red envelope of 88 yuan from Lin Hong, and also rewarded each with a 14-inch Feiyue black and white TV set and a Phoenix brand bicycle There is also an enamel tea mug with the word "award" written on it.

The rewards for other people are also very generous. It is said that even the tea worker of the crew got a red envelope of 8000, not to mention the others.

However, Lin Hong did not appear in Xiangfan that day, because he went to the beautiful country again.

The annual Oscars ceremony is being held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.

This year, Chinese filmmakers have appeared again in this film festival that the whole world is paying attention to. With three films and seven nominations, Lin Hong once again competed in the beautiful country.

Although Lin Hong still received a warm reception this time and was still the focus of the spotlight, Lin Hong knew that it would be almost impossible for him to replicate the miracle of the Golden Globe this time.

Because he knew that he won the Golden Globe not only because of "The Truman Show", but also because of the support of the eight major film companies. At that time, they were all jealous of the resources in Lin Hong's hands.

However, Lin Hong did not directly hand over the DC universe to any of the eight major film companies, but to Spielberg's Amblin. Although they can also benefit a lot from it, it is still not as lucrative as getting it directly.

So this time Oscar, apart from Warner and Paramount, the other six film companies no longer support Lin Hong.

Now the best editing award is being presented, and it happens that "The Truman Show" is one of the nominated works, and the editor is of course Lin Hong himself.

"The Truman Show" received a total of six nominations for five awards, including Best Director, Best Film, Best Editing, Best Original Screenplay and Best Actor, among which the best actors were Cheng Daoming and Huang Xiaoming double nomination.

"The winner of the 90th Academy Award for Best Editing is ~ "The Truman Show"!"

Lin Hong came to the stage to accept the award with a smile. Although this was his first Oscar, he was not too excited.

Winning technology awards means that it will be more difficult to win the next three awards, especially without the support of large companies.

Lin Hong simply thanked the crew and his family, and specifically mentioned his fiancée Song Xiaohan who was not present today, which made the audience's applause even warmer. Not long ago, Lin Hong's marriage proposal not only caused heated discussions in China, but also Romantic Europe and the United States also opened several column reports for Lin Hong.

After Lin Hong stepped down, he did not celebrate with great fanfare. Instead, he comforted Cheng Daoming and Huang Xiaoming who were sitting next to him. In his opinion, it was because of his business layout that the probability of them winning the prize became smaller.

The two of them were not so disappointed. They were more grateful to Lin Hong, especially Cheng Daoming, who had already won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. He is currently the No.1 Chinese actor.

"The winner of the best original screenplay is~"

Nicole Kidman opened the envelope with a smile. This award is considered by the media and film critics to be the least suspenseful. Both "The Silence of the Lambs" and "The Truman Show" can crush other nominated works. Are these two works winning the same vote?

However, when Nicole Kidman saw the award-winning work, her acting skills were astonishing at that moment. She even suspected that she had read it wrong, but it was really it after a closer look.

""Escape from Deadly Town"! Kangguleite Leixuan!"

Hearing Nicole Kidman say that "Get Out" won the award, everyone in the room was collectively stunned for a moment. The first thing that reacted from the confusion was the crew members of "Get Out".

Like everyone else, Lin Hong felt that this result was too unbelievable. Why "Escape from Dead End"?

Admittedly, this is indeed a good film, but compared to "The Silence of the Lambs" and "The Truman Show", or even "Eating and Drinking Men and Women" and "The Shape of Water", "Get Out" It can be said to be the weakest of the five nominations.

But this absurd scene just happened, and it beat the other four nominated works to win the award!It's as absurd as the Golden Globes classifying it as a musical comedy.

When the fat black screenwriter among the crew members of "Get Out" in the carnival came to the stage to accept the award, many people suddenly realized, damn it, it turned out to be black again, and it seems that the whirlwind of minority groups in Hollywood It's getting more and more evil.

Suddenly, Lin Hong thought of one thing. If black people are considered a minority group in the beautiful country, shouldn't the Chinese be even more so?

This year's Oscar nominations for Best Actor are the same as the previous Golden Globe Awards. The difference is that Tom Hanks and Anthony Hopkins were replaced by Timothée Chalamet and Huang Xiaoming. Currently The situation is that there are three white actors and two Chinese actors. According to this, Cheng Daoming and Huang Xiaoming are minorities...

Fuck, the Chinese have become a minority group. It sounds so unbelievable at first, but this is a beautiful country, and it is.

Is there a possibility that this evil wind is also an opportunity, an opportunity to make history.

Moreover, the best original screenplay trophy that Lin Hong had at his fingertips was given to Brother Xiao Hei, so it seems reasonable to compensate him for the best actor award.

Lin Hong was looking forward to it secretly. He didn't dare to tell the two of them this conjecture. If it was just his own wishful thinking, it would be too embarrassing.

The rhythm of the Oscars is very slow, which is related to the fact that its awards have a lot of time for children. There are even several performances in the middle, and each award-winning guest has time to give an acceptance speech.

This also made Lin Hong very tormented, there are still several awards to be awarded before the last few awards.

The two technical awards for best sound editing and best sound effects were given to "Dunkirk", which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Christopher Nolan.

The debacle at the Golden Globes seems to have carried over to the Oscars, and his chances of winning the final two awards are basically hopeless for now.

In the competition for the best foreign language film, the Chilean film "Ordinary Woman" successfully won the grand prize. It seems that the Oscar's best foreign language film loves South American films. It is not a rumor, but it is no wonder that 35% of this year's judges have South American origin What about the background.

Best Supporting Actress was won by Allison Janney for her affectionate performance in "I, Tonya".

And the crazy "Three Billboards" showed its power again, and won two awards for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor respectively. Francis McDormand defeated Jodie Foster, Avenged his defeat at the Golden Globes.

This result makes Lin Hong and the crew of "The Silence of the Lambs" feel a little bit sorry, but Francis McDormand's performance in "Three Billboards" is clear and detailed, and the performance of small muscles is indeed eligible to win the award.

"The Silence of the Lambs" has a total of four nominations tonight, the best original screenplay and best actress have already lost, and there are still two final competitions for best director and best picture.

So from another point of view, it may not be a bad thing for Jodie Foster not to win the Best Actress. After all, there is no super film that sweeps everything in the Oscars this year, so the possibility of a balanced award is very high.

Best Actress is followed by Best Actor. Black Pearl Harry Bailey was on stage to present the award. Today, she stunning the audience in a white dress with a deep V. She really deserves to be one of the sexiest actresses in the world. .

"The best actor nominees for the 90th Academy Awards are ~ Gary Oldman - "Darkest Hour"!

Daniel Day-Lewis - "Phantom Thread"!

Cheng Daoming - "The Truman Show"!

Timothee Chalamet - "Call Me By Your Name"!

Huang Xiaoming - "The Truman Show"! "

Highlights of the five male actors in the nominated works were shown on the big screen, and then quickly divided into five shots.

Lin Hong holds one in his left and right hands. "The Truman Show" is doomed to miss the next two awards today, and this moment is the most important moment for "The Truman Show" tonight. The moment of another breakthrough.

Judging from the hands he is holding, Huang Xiaoming is obviously a little more nervous. This may be related to the fact that he has not won the prestigious title of International Best Actor, while Cheng Daoming, who has won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, is much calmer. There is still tension, after all, this is Oscar, if he can be crowned emperor here, it will be the perfect of perfection.

"Cheng Daoming, Huang Xiaoming, Cheng Daoming, Huang Xiaoming..."

Lin Hong muttered, and the two actors naturally felt Lin Hong's wishes.

"The winner of the best actor is ~ Huang Xiaoming - "The Truman Show"!"

When Harry Bailey called out Huang Xiaoming's name with a smile, Lin Hong was the first to react. He almost jumped up from the seat like a catapult.

"Brother Xiaoming, it's you, you are the world's first Chinese Oscar winner, you did it..."

Lin Hong's excited voice lingered in Huang Xiaoming's ears, but he seemed to be in a dream at this moment, and he always felt that all this was unreal, so he still sat there until the moment Lin Hong pulled him up and hugged him. Back to reality.

It's true, so I really won the Oscar winner!

Huang Xiaoming excitedly hugged every crew member, and his good friend Zou Xun also specially came from the crew of "Eating and Drinking Men and Women" to hug him to celebrate.

Huang Xiaoming straightened his suit, and then walked onto the stage amidst the exciting music.

After receiving Harry Bailey's trophy, the audience once again gave warm applause, among which the Chinese on the scene worked hard. Huang Xiaoming standing on the stage at this time represents the Chinese, and it can even be said that he represents the Asians. ancestry is a minority group.

Huang Xiaoming was able to win this award, just as Lin Hong thought, he did enjoy the unhealthy bonus of the minority group zz correct, but I have to say that Paramount and Warner's support behind the scenes is also not small, plus a few other The three nominees belonged to films produced by different companies, and they didn't work together to praise anyone, so Huang Xiaoming finally got the award.

But it is undeniable that Huang Xiaoming really gave the best performance in his life in "The Truman Show", and the success of this movie gave him a great boost.

Without the restriction that the best actor of the Golden Globe Award requires his own dubbing, Huang Xiaoming's advantage over Cheng Daoming is that he has a larger performance space and relatively more scenes.

Therefore, considering all the above factors, it is reasonable for Huang Xiaoming to win this award in the end.

"Thank you, it was a perfect night for me!"

Huang Xiaoming's English is not good, and he has a strong accent, but at least he can be understood.

"Being able to win this award means a lot to me personally, and I have too many people here to thank.

Thank you to the Oscar organizing committee and jury for recognizing my performance, you have done an outstanding job.

I would also like to thank my family, my parents and my son, thank you for allowing me to leave the filming for a month or two, without your support I would not be able to have such a good performance.

Thanks to all the cast and crew of "The Truman Show", each of you has demonstrated professionalism and love.

Thanks to my agency, Huayi, you have given me so much support, never restricted me in what movies to shoot, and tolerated some of my petty willfulness.

Finally, of course I want to thank that guy, yes, the director and screenwriter of this movie, Lin Hong, he is a real genius. "

The scene shot was shown to Lin Hong in the audience, and there was applause for him. For this amazing young director, more and more filmmakers want to cooperate with him.

"This is the third work I have worked with him, and he surprises me every time, and I feel like he is a never-ending treasure.

You said before that we will have cooperation in the future, so hurry up and start, I can't wait to start a new journey! "

Huang Xiaoming is like a fish being hanged by the king of the sea. He has long wanted to ask Lin Hong when he will start to make him a world-class domineering president, so he took this opportunity to "force the palace".

And Lin Hong shouted to the stage: "We will start this year!"

Huang Xiaoming walked backstage amidst warm applause. He needed to accept an instant interview.

The last two awards were as expected by Lin Hong, but fortunately, the best director belonged to Jonathan Demme, who won the trophy by defeating Lin Hong, Ang Lee and others with "The Silence of the Lambs".

The ultimate award for best picture was taken away by "The Shape of Water", which made Lin Hong's supporters feel a little sorry.

But Lin Hong is already very satisfied. Not only did he get a statuette tonight, but Huang Xiaoming also made a new breakthrough for the Chinese in the Oscars.

So, tonight is perfect for Lin Hong and Chinese movies.

－－－－－－off topic－－－－－

Explain why you suddenly wrote the plot of the proposal before.Because the relationship between the hero and heroine has reached that stage, the reason why it suddenly happened is that Lin Hong wanted to surprise Song Xiaohan, and I also wanted to surprise the readers.

The marriage proposal part borrowed from an advertisement of 361° many years ago. It is very touching, I like it very much, and I hope everyone can like it too.

Explain again why Huang Xiaoming was used, and he also wrote that he won an Oscar.Because he is a hard-working actor, his acting skills are really good when he is not greasy, and every outstanding actor meets a well-matched role, he is really a god.

Okay, finally explain, yesterday's was harmonized again, I will change it.
