Chapter 304: "The Witch" broke the record of film history with 2 million in 7 weeks, and &
Zeng Li himself is actually very clear about this.
But even so, Zeng Li was very happy and excited.
You should know that the Golden Horse Awards is one of the top awards in the entire Chinese entertainment industry and plays a vital role in the Chinese entertainment industry.
In this period of time, it is more important than the three major mainland awards, the Golden Rooster and the Hundred Flowers.
Even if it is just a nomination, it is already a huge bonus for an actor.
Especially for Zeng Li.
You should know that Zeng Li's development in the circle has always been quite ordinary.
The statistics are mediocre, and the awards are even less impressive.
She was only nominated for a Best Actress at the Shanghai International Film Festival in 06, but she didn't win it in the end.
Under such circumstances, the nomination for Best Actress at the Golden Horse Awards becomes even more precious.
"Director Zhou, thank you so much. I never thought that one day I would be nominated for a Golden Horse Award for Best Actress."
Zeng Li came to Zhou Qing specifically to express his gratitude, the excitement on his face was beyond words.
"You were nominated for Best Actress because your performance was good enough. You should thank yourself."
Zhou Qing smiled and gave Zeng Li high praise.
"I also hope you can win the Best Actress award this time."
Of course there are sincere blessings.
"Let it be, but Director Zhou will definitely win some big awards."
Zeng Li's mentality is also very good. Like Qin Hao, he looks very calm.
"Director Zhou."
"Director Zhou."
In addition to Zeng Li, the male lead Duan Yihong, the male supporting role Wang Xueqi, and the female supporting role Yu Nan also ran over eagerly to greet Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing naturally chatted with everyone for a while with an enthusiastic attitude.
However, Zhou Qing is not optimistic about those nominated for individual performance awards except Duan Yihong.
To be honest, there is not much room for improvement.
Even with Duan Yihong's nomination for Best Actor, Zhou Qing felt that he did have a chance of winning, but it wasn't that great.
The performances of the other candidates are exactly the same as Duan Yihong!
"Now I declare that the 47th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards ceremony will begin now!"
After walking the red carpet and other miscellaneous procedures, the Golden Horse Awards finally came to the most critical stage.
Following the announcement from the host on stage, all the filmmakers in the venue became excited.
Even his back straightened a little involuntarily.
Who will win the grand prize is finally revealed!
"The International Film Critics' FIPRESCI Award will be presented next..."
It starts with a small award in this informal competition unit, then goes to the audience vote for Best Film, Special Contribution Award, etc., and then to side dishes such as Best Editing and Best Sound Effects.
After an hour and a half of hard work, the relatively important award was finally presented: the Best Actress Award.
It is worth mentioning that among the previous side dishes, Zhou Qing’s "Source Code" won the Best Original Screenplay Award.
In addition, Qin Hao's "A Night of Intoxicated by Spring Breeze" won the Best Editing Award, so it was not a complete failure.
"The winner of the Best Actress Award is..."
Zeng Li, who was beside Zhou Qing, subconsciously tensed his face, and stared at the award presenter without blinking.
Even though he is relatively calm about this award, Zeng Li actually cares about it very much.
No matter what, she is still a movie queen.
Even the most Buddhist person can't be completely indifferent, right?
It's the same with Xu Fan, who is beside Feng Xiaogang.
"…Lü Liping, "Cool Youth"!"
Zeng Li's body relaxed subconsciously, followed by a slightly self-deprecating smile.
Yeah, I thought too much.
She is very clear about how she performed in "Source Code", so how could she possibly win the Best Actress award?
"The next award to be presented is the Best Actor Award."
Now it was Duan Yihong's turn to get nervous.
You know, he is the most competitive in the individual performance award of "Source Code".
But unfortunately, the grand prize was finally won by Ruan Jingtian from Taiwan.
Duan Yihong also got a lonely one.
"It seems that my skills are not good enough yet. I need to practice more."
Duan Yihong sighed beside Zhou Qing.
"Don't worry, with your level, it's only a matter of time before you become the best actor."
Zhou Qing encouraged Duan Yihong.
This is definitely not a flattery or consolation, but I really think so from the bottom of my heart.
Duan Yihong's acting skills are among the most superb in the entire domestic entertainment industry.
"The Best Director Award will be presented next..."
The smile on Zhou Qing's face began to fade, and his expression became serious and earnest.
However, his overall expression was much calmer than those of other competitors.
There is no other reason. Zhou Qing has such impressive achievements in the three major competitions that he really doesn’t care that much about the Golden Horse awards.
"The winner of the Best Director Award is... Zhou Qing, Source Code!"
Swish swish.
All eyes turned over immediately, and warm applause broke out all around.
Under everyone's attention, Zhou Qing stood up with a smile on his face and walked calmly to the podium.
"This is not my first time at the Golden Horse Awards, nor is it my first time winning the Best Director award, but I still feel the same excitement and happiness holding the trophy in my hands again."
"grateful!"
"Thank you to the Golden Horse Awards for giving me this award, thank you to the Golden Horse Awards for recognizing and affirming me, and thank you to the Golden Horse Awards for giving me this honor."
"This award is also a spur and a warning to me, reminding me to always be in awe of movies."
"It reminds me to put more effort into making every movie."
"Thanks again!"
After a eloquent acceptance speech, Zhou Qingyun calmly took the trophy from the award presenter.
"not bad."
Returning to his seat, Zhou Qing nodded secretly.
With this trophy, my trip to the Golden Horse Awards was worthwhile.
"The winner of the Best Picture Award is... Source Code!"
However, what Zhou Qing did not expect was that in addition to the Best Director award, he also won the ultimate award, Best Picture.
Wow!
The applause at the scene became even louder, like thunder.
"The 47th Golden Horse Awards ceremony ended, and Source Code won the Best Director and Best Picture awards, becoming the biggest winner."
"The award-winning film Source Code lived up to expectations, and Director Zhou Qing once again won the Best Director trophy."
"Feng Xiaogang blasted the Golden Horse Awards, criticizing the jury chairman Huang Jianye for being unprofessional, and spoke out for his wife Xu Fan's failure to win the award."
Related reports soon leaked out, making Zhou Qing once again a hot topic in the circle.
While "The Witch" is gaining popularity, "Source Code" has become the biggest winner of the Golden Horse Awards.
Although "Source Code" only won three awards, it won such heavyweight awards as Best Director and Best Picture at the same time, so it is no exaggeration to say that it is the biggest winner.
This November, Zhou Qing really won.
As for "No Man's Land" produced by Zhou Qing Pictures, although it received 5 nominations, it won nothing.
Reduced to a complete runner-up.
"If I had known this would happen, I would not have signed up for the Golden Horse Awards."
Ning Hao couldn't help but call Zhou Qing to complain. They both signed up for the Golden Horse, but one became cannon fodder and the other won a great victory. Isn't the gap too huge?
"Have you ever heard the saying that nominations depend on ability, but winning an award depends on luck?"
"Brother, it seems that you are indeed lacking a little luck."
Zhou Qing smiled and comforted Ning Hao.
But I was secretly complaining in my heart, after this attempt at "No Man's Land", I was afraid that Ning Hao would honestly make commercial films in the future and stop messing around, right?
"You don't have to comfort me. I've let it go. I just don't have the luck to win a prize."
Ning Hao let out a long sigh, but from his tone he didn't seem too troubled.
I believe that it won’t be long before I completely forget about the idea of winning an award.
"But the box office of your "Witch" is really too abnormal, right?"
Speaking of "The Witch", Ning Hao was really thoroughly stimulated.
Ning Hao was originally quite satisfied with the box office of "No Man's Land" which exceeded 3 million yuan.
As a result, in the blink of an eye, they are able to make 10 billion.
Ning Hao just couldn't stay calm no matter what.
"It's OK, so-so."
Zhou Qing pretended to be awesome in front of Ning Hao without leaving any trace.
It is October 10nd now, and "The Witch" has been released for exactly one week. So how much has it grossed at the box office?
A full 4.22 million!
Based on the first day's box office, it will not be a problem for "The Witch" to break 10 billion in total box office.
It can even be said that there is no suspense if nothing unexpected happens.
So looking at the new films that are about to be released, will "The Witch" encounter any unexpected events?
Really not!
"Let the Bullets Fly" and "If You Are the One 2", which posed the greatest threat to "The Witch", were both released after "The Witch" was taken off the screen.
Only Chen's "The Orphan of Zhao" and "The Witch" have some overlap.
But the threat posed by "The Orphan of Zhao" to "The Witch" is negligible.
As for Hollywood blockbusters?
Sorry, no either.
So yes, throughout the entire period when "The Witch" was released, it was almost like a whirlwind sweeping through the enemy lines.
Just like when "Avatar" was released, it was completely dominant.
Almost all other films have become cannon fodder for "The Witch".
Only two Hollywood blockbusters, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 4" and "Resident Evil ", can hold on for a while.
Amid this extremely vigorous momentum, "The Witch" once again took in 3 million yuan at the box office in the second week.
In just two weeks, the total box office grossed 7.22 million yuan.
It surpassed the position of "Source Code" as the champion in the history of Chinese entertainment films and became the new box office champion in the history of Chinese entertainment films.
The entire circle was stunned, and no one could hold back.
The record set by "Source Code" was broken so easily?
It only took two weeks?
"The Witch" is not just fierce, it's cheating!
Both Zhou Qing and Liu Yifei were extremely excited and happy about this.
Especially Liu Yifei, she was so happy that she started humming a song.
"Xixi, you sang very well. I give you 99 points."
Zhou Qing, who was leaning on the sofa and sitting with the girl, gave Liu Yifei a thumbs up.
"Of course, don't forget that I'm a singer!"
Liu Yifei raised her head with a look of complacency on her face.
But he quickly turned his head to look at Zhou Qing and blinked: "Why is it 99 points? How come there is still one point missing?"
"I deducted one point because I'm afraid you'll become too proud."
Zhou Qing grinned at Liu Yifei.
This clichéd internet buzzword from later generations was still quite novel at that time, and made the girl giggle.
"Then I'll give you 100 points."
Liu Yifei then smiled at Zhou Qing.
"Aren't you afraid of my pride?"
Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows at Liu Yifei.
"There's nothing to be proud of. The full score is 500."
After teasing Zhou Qing, Liu Yifei was so happy that she covered her mouth and laughed non-stop.
But after laughing for a while, Liu Yifei couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.
Isn't Zhou Qing an all-rounder?
Because Zhou Qing's singing is really beautiful, as beautiful as that of a singer.
This is definitely not an exaggeration by Liu Yifei, but a very objective and true description.
Because Liu Yifei had heard Zhou Qing sing it with her own ears, more than once.
Zhou Qing's singing skills are absolutely professional.
Do you want to ask why Zhou Qing sings so well?
It’s simple, just add some more.
Since he maxed out the directing, screenwriting and acting skills, Zhou Qing also maxed out all the editing and other miscellaneous things.
In the end, there was really nothing else to add, so I just added the singing.
So yes, with Zhou Qing's current singing skills, it is no problem for him to make his debut.
However, Zhou Qing was not interested in this and just wanted to shoot the film quietly.
Of course, it is not impossible to sing a theme song or something on a whim in the future.
"Call Changchang, let's go sing tonight!"
Liu Yifei was in a good mood and couldn't help but suggest this.
Zhou Qing naturally had no reason to refuse and agreed without hesitation.
I'm just a little unhappy.
"Of course you can sing, but why ask that light bulb to sing? He'll get in the way."
Zhou Qing naturally protested to Liu Yifei.
"What's getting in the way? Why are you saying that? I haven't been with her for a long time."
Liu Yifei reached out and patted Zhou Qing, then took out her cell phone to call Shu Chang.
"Xiao Liu, I miss you so much!"
At 6 o'clock in the evening, Shu Chang showed up at Liu Yifei's mansion on time and gave the girl a big hug as soon as he came up.
"And Director Zhou, you're even more handsome than before!"
After greeting Liu Yifei, Shu Chang naturally would not forget Zhou Qing.
"Don't point out something that everyone knows."
Zhou Qing looked very proud.
"You are so conceited. At least restrain yourself in front of the singer."
Liu Yifei ruthlessly attacked Zhou Qing in front of her good friends.
While chatting and laughing, Zhou Qing accompanied Liu Yifei and Shu Chang out.
I originally planned to go singing after eating hotpot, but who would have thought that I would be recognized halfway.
"Director Zhou, it's Director Zhou!"
"It's Director Zhou and Liu Yifei!"
In just a few minutes, a group of people surrounded them enthusiastically, and the situation seemed to be out of control.
With no other options, Zhou Qing had to take the two girls and leave.
I can only say that this is the price of fame. (End of this chapter)
