Chapter 514 Golden Eagle Goddess
The National Day holiday has ended long ago. This year’s National Day holiday has three movies: "Baby Project", "The Banquet" and "Jungle Counterattack"...
The winner is of course "Baby Project" with 96 million...
Failed to break 100 million!
This is beyond the expectations of many people, because "Baby Project" is a typical Jackie Chan movie.
Jackie Chan movies have two major characteristics: the first is the risk-taking professionalism, and the second is the kung fu comedy type created by using all available environments.
These two points are indeed Jackie Chan's signatures. Looking at the world's film industry, it is almost impossible to find another person.
In other words, many viewers watch Jackie Chan not to watch the story, but just to watch Jackie Chan risk his life!
Is "Baby Project" life-threatening?
Yes, there is the thrilling scene of jumping off a high-rise building along the outer box of the air conditioner, and there is also the joining of brother Yuan Biao, who is known as the king of juggling...
But... the box office of this movie in the Mainland failed to exceed 100 million!
This is related to the Huayi Brothers' distribution strategy - "Baby Project" was released in its first week and "The Banquet" was in its third week. The latter needs to reach a box office of 130 million, so what should we do?
There are only less than 4,000 screens in total, so...
Of course, the main promotion is ‘160 million in Asia! ’
so what?
"Glory of the Tang Dynasty" has a box office of 350 million in Asia and a box office of 208 million in the mainland!
Although Jackie Chan attended the celebration banquet, he had concerns in his mind - he should continue to cooperate with Tianmei Media in the future, not Huayi!
…
In the car, Shen Xudong, who was picked up by Zhong Lifang, mentioned Jackie Chan...
"After he finished filming "Rush Hour 3", he seems to be joining the cast of a Hong Kong film?"
Shen Xudong nodded: "Yes, "Shinjuku Incident", directed by Er Dongsheng..."
"We have to prepare a film..."
""Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", Jackie Chan has always wanted to film this!"
"Then...who will be the director?"
"Xu Ke, Xu Ke also said he wanted to direct..."
"It seems like they haven't cooperated before?"
"We worked together once."
"what movie?"
""Double Dragon Club", co-starring Xu Ke, Lin Lingtung and Jackie Chan...",
Chung Lifang immediately shook her head: ""Double Dragon Club" was produced by the Hong Kong Directors Guild..."
Shen Xudong was surprised: "Oh, you know this?"
"Double Dragon Club" was produced to purchase the venue and raise operating funds for the Hong Kong Directors Guild, which was established in 1988, so the title statement is "a work of the Hong Kong Directors Guild." Except for the two heroines: Maggie Cheung and Li Zhi, all the actors in the film are directors.
Among the entire Hong Kong director team, there is only one Jackie Chan who can both direct and star, and has strong box office appeal.
Therefore, he plays the leading role, and because he is a member of the Directors Association, he and other directors involved in the film do not receive any salary; the production fee is advanced by Golden Harvest, the box office profits go to the Directors Association to buy a house, and other distribution income goes to Golden Harvest.
Zhong Lifang rolled her eyes: "Of course I know. I also know that Jackie Chan was originally invited to "New Shushan Swordsman". Unfortunately, He Guanchang refused!"
"It seems you have done a lot of homework..."
Shen Xudong was very satisfied with Zhong Lifang: "You can be a production assistant on "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" and follow Chen Xi..."
Zhong Lifang nodded: "Okay..."
Shen Xudong changed the subject: "What did the Golden Eagle Festival say?"
"Chen Hao can win the prize, but the Golden Eagle Goddess gave it to Liu Yifei!"
"...Golden Eagle Goddess..."
The Golden Eagle Goddess is actually a popularity award and image endorsement...
Requirements: Young and beautiful, super popular new generation actress...
So, Liu Yifei certainly met the requirements, but... why was the award given to Tang Yan later?
She was already 33 that year. Does the word youth have anything to do with her?
Ahem, bringing it back, Zhong Lifang asked about the situation of "Carol", Shen Xudong said: "It has almost been released overseas. North America wants to expand to 200 theaters, then 800, and by the 26th, it will be expanded to 1,600. , this is all agreed upon..."
"Then... can it be profitable? I mean after deducting public relations expenses?"
"Definitely," Shen Xudong nodded firmly.
…
The Golden Eagle Festival is of course a big event, but regarding this Golden Eagle Award, the media is more concerned about the failure of "Beijing Smoke and Clouds"...
Last year's three major dramas "Beijing Smoke and Clouds", "Bright Sword" and "Song of the Song Dynasty" won the top three ratings of CCTV. "Bright Sword" and "Song of the Song Dynasty" were shortlisted for the TV drama candidates of this Golden Eagle Award. list, but "Beijing Smoke and Clouds" fell off the list.
It was explained to the public that ‘the experts voted for the Golden Eagle Award, and only those with the top 36 votes can enter the candidate list. Although "Beijing Yanyun" was broadcast well, it did not receive enough votes and was not recognized by the experts! ’
Right, not recognized by experts!
If I remember correctly, I was nominated for the Feitian Award.
Mango TV really treats Zhao Yanzi...
But it is not as shocking as the Feitian Award - Oh, the Feitian Award was changed to once every two years in 2005. There was no Feitian Award in 2006, and it was only awarded in 2007. The list of winners surprised everyone - Jiang Qinqin borrowed the title of "Qiao Family" Courtyard" and Liu Jia won the Outstanding Actress Award for "Ren Changxia"...
This is not the point. The point is that these two people are not on the nomination list at all!
No nomination but win?
I really don’t understand how these experts operate.
Fortunately, these awards don't get much attention these days, otherwise, just wait to be scolded!
The reason why Shen Xudong participated in this year's Golden Eagle Award was because of Chen Hao.
Chen Hao is the first sister of Tianmei. Although she is already at the top in terms of popularity, she is still a little behind in terms of awards.
Chen Hao needs to win several authoritative awards, whether in the field of TV series or movies.
You have to go to the Golden Eagle Award and the Hundred Flowers Award...
However, after arriving in Changsha, Shen Xudong received a call from Aunt Liu before he could meet up with Chen Hao and the crew of "The Golden Branch".
Invite to dinner.
Shen Xudong always welcomes everyone to dinner parties and other events.
What's more, he hasn't seen Liu Yifei for a long time.
A little selfishly, if "Zhu Xian" were to start filming, he felt that Liu Yifei would undoubtedly be the most suitable candidate to play Lu Xueqi, and it was unlikely that anyone else would be qualified for this role.
It would be nice to meet and chat!
It's just...he really doesn't have much time.
"Auntie, I only have two days to meet with the crew of "The Love of the Golden Branch"... Otherwise, wait until I return to the capital!"
"…OK."
Aunt Liu regretfully hung up the phone...
Liu Yifei in the room immediately asked: "How is it? How is it?"
"...He said he had something to do and didn't have time to come over..."
"...What can happen to him!"
Liu Yifei rolled her eyes, took out her mobile phone, found Shen Xudong's contact information, and prepared to make a call herself...
"He said he wanted to gather the crew of "The Golden Branch" and invite the leaders of the TV Drama Association to a banquet..."
""The Golden Bough"..." Liu Yifei put down her phone and thought of something: "He was shortlisted for the award for "The Golden Bough"... But, mom, why did he come to the Golden Eagle Award?"
"I don't know either," Aunt Liu was also confused: "He has already made a name for himself in the United States, why does he still care about TV drama awards like the Golden Eagle Award?"
