Chapter 470 Ning Hao's New Movie
After Lin Hao finished filming "2012", "Moon" also passed the first two weeks of this type of film's hottest popularity, but the better thing is that it broke 100 million in the third weekend, successfully achieving another one of his films to break 100 million.
Movie.
By the way...it also ranked second at the box office.
In fact, the schedule of "Moon" is also considered lucky.
Because after last week's Disney's "Beverly Gold" had a mediocre box office performance, this week's "Body of Lies" was originally going to be aggressive - look at this lineup, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell
The masterpiece starring Crowe and directed by Ridley Scott failed both in terms of reputation and box office:
It only earned 13.1 million U.S. dollars from 2,710 theaters in its first weekend, ranking third, which was not as good as "Moon" which was released in its third week with 15.56 million U.S. dollars.
This is DiCaprio, Russell, and the director who just made "American Gangster"!
It doesn't matter if the box office is low, but the reputation is not good either.
Therefore, quality must still speak for itself.
Originally, this combination had earned enough expectations before its release, and was regarded as a film that was competing for Oscars, but the result was shocking. The box office was disastrous, and it is difficult to say that the investment of 70 million U.S. dollars was recovered; in terms of reviews, "Rotten Tomatoes"
"Only 53% agreed.
"Old-fashioned" and "far-fetched and monotonous" are considered good, but some people say that "the script is extremely bad", and even "the protagonist's performance is wonderful" cannot be reversed. As a result, Warner is very depressed, and even Time Warner's stock has been affected.
Influence.
So, seeing that the new generation of box office stars are still selling well without a lot of publicity, Warner has finally announced that director Christopher Nolan, who has just received a double success at the box office and word of mouth with "The Dark Knight", has recently chosen the leading actor for the new film.
The fast-rising actor Lin Hao.
This move immediately made many people excited.
People and professionals immediately analyzed the prospects of cooperation between the two, and found that it was indeed good:
"An actor who never makes a bad movie, and a director who never makes a bad movie, working together is a guarantee of quality!"
"What can I say? Ace directors and actors, as long as it's not on the level of Leonardo's new film, then all I can say is shut up and take my money!"
"Lin Hao is so lucky in his development. He is such an enviable guy!"
Amid the buzz of anticipation, the official announcement has brought satisfactory enthusiasm to Warner, but it is still early for the film to start shooting.
When Lin Hao heard the news, he finally calmed down and started sprinting for his own award - the competition this year is very fierce, and whether he can get a nomination for the award is actually not that easy to say.
...
Although he has entered the "Global Billion Dollar Club" and won the two best actors in Cannes and Venice, Lin Hao has very few awards in the United States - he has been nominated for the Saturn Award many times, which is what he has been compared to.
OK.
The rest of the time...
The crew of commercial films do not know how to run awards at all, especially when Lin Hao himself was not that famous before. Therefore, Brian's operation this time is intended to increase his influence in the United States.
"Moon" is now performing well at the box office and word of mouth, so it is not difficult to manage small awards. Lin Hao soon won a Film Critics Award.
That night, standing on the somewhat crude award podium, Lin Hao still showed full enthusiasm: "Thank you everyone for giving me this precious award tonight, which makes me very inspired."
"Starting in "Moon" is a new attempt for me in acting. Although I dare not say that it will be a perfect performance, I also feel that it is a very interesting performance that allows me to give full play to my strengths.
."
There were a lot of people, and reporters were taking pictures.
According to the speech prepared by Brian, he recited it with great emotion. In the eyes of the organizer with satisfaction, Lin Hao concluded: "Finally, thank you again for your recognition of me. I will continue to work hard to bring you good works!"
Then he stepped down and took a group photo. The other party used Lin Hao to increase his influence, and Lin Hao also used these people to build momentum for himself, which was mutually beneficial.
Partly because of work and partly because he wanted awards, Lin Hao just flooded the screen in various media to build momentum.
Try to get nominated for a Golden Globe Award.
To be honest, this award has great influence in China, but abroad it is more of a guessing "who the Oscar will be given to this year" and is not so authoritative. Therefore, when Lin Hao was competing for the award, there were not those who were really competing for the Oscar.
pressure.
After all, science fiction, suspense, and high-grossing movies...
None of them are Oscar's favourites.
Just seeing how Lin Hao became popular in North America with "Moon" and won many awards, some media commented: "Maybe Lin is lucky enough to get nominated. After all, everyone is tired of those old movies."
Face."
Of course this is impossible.
Just like at the Academy Awards, everyone never gets tired of seeing those actors and actresses, they are the same ones over and over again.
It's just that when these news came back to China, the media was busy reporting it. After all, "Moon", which was released in China on October 10, did not perform well at the box office, but it received a great reputation. However, during this period, everyone was mainly paying attention to another big news.
:Director Xie Jin passed away.
...
Young friends may not be familiar with this director.
Simply speaking, "Women's Basketball No. 5", "Garland Under the Mountain", "Wrangler", "Legend of Tianyun Mountain", "Furong Town", "The Opium War"... these are also some of his many excellent works.
.
Director Xie is also very willing to support new talents. The Xie Jin Art School he founded has not only trained stars such as Zhao Wei, Fan Bingbing, Chen Sicheng, and Yan Yikuan, but also supported many directors in many aspects, including Jia Zhangke.
When Xie Jin passed away this time, the first batch of artists to arrive included Qin Yi, Pan Hong, Pu Cunxin, Zhu Shimao, Jia Zhangke, Xi Meijuan, Wang Fuli, etc.
It is enough to prove his influence.
This even makes the release of new albums by Xu Wei and Jay Chou relegated to a corner of the entertainment sector, but no one really cares about this.
Under such premise, Lin Hao, who returned to China midway, naturally did not make a big announcement: although he had no interaction with director Xie Jin, he could understand human nature.
What's more, when he returned to China this time, he also had serious business:
Everything is ready for "Crazy Racing". It is scheduled to be released on January 20th, which is also the Spring Festival schedule. Public relations and advertising have been arranged, which means that the movie only needs to go on as normal before it can be released.
.
Ning Hao's next movie is also close.
Speaking of which, this movie was an idea that Ning Hao had when he was still filming "Green Grass". But at that time, Ning Hao had not thought of making a black fable-style movie. On the contrary, now he has achieved both fame and fortune.
Later, this idea became clearer and stronger:
Once people become famous and rich, they want to do something more artistic.
Very normal.
