Chapter 1058 "Interstellar" released in North America

"The one who won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 50th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards is Zhenzhen!"

This is an actress who was mainly active in the film industry of Xiangjiang Baodao in the 70s. Her first husband was Xiangjiang's fourth brother, and later married Liu Jiachang, who is known as the godfather of music.

Then the awards ceremony entered the final stage, leaving only the final 4 awards.

The first award presenters on the stage were Manshen and Liu Dehua, and the best actress was going to be presented.

Chen Hao couldn't help but glanced at the international chapter not far away, and saw that she was smiling, but somewhat stiff, which was understandable, after all, this actress meant a lot to her.

"The winner of the 50th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards for Best Actress is, International Chapter, "The Grandmaster"!"

After the results were announced, the International Chapter was so excited that he covered his face with his hands and seemed to be weeping with joy.

She was shortlisted for Best Actress in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "2046" before, and was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in "Mei Lanfang". Today, her third nomination for Best Actress in "The Grandmaster" finally came true.

During the release of "The Grandmaster", it was dubbed "Gong Er Biography" by the audience. This is an evaluation of the plot that is too inclined to Gong Er, and it is also an affirmation of the acting skills of the international chapter.

In the acting career of the international chapter, Gong Er should be one of her peak images.

Chen Hao couldn't help applauding too, not to mention other things, but to be able to win the best actresses of all important film festivals in China, both strength and luck are indispensable.

At present, only Mr. Xun and International Zhang have achieved this achievement, which shows the gold content of this grand slam!

"The winner of the 50th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards for Best Actor is Li Kangsheng, "Outing"!"

"The best director of the 50th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards is Tsai Ming-liang, "Outing"!"

This "Outing", which won two awards in a row, is an out-and-out niche literary film. Its director Cai Mingliang once had a "bad relationship" with the Golden Horse Awards, claiming that he would "never participate in the Golden Horse Awards."

However, the law of true fragrance cannot be escaped!
Now that the Golden Horse Awards can award both awards to it, it is somewhat selfish to "keep the awards in Treasure Island".

Of course, it may also be to encourage Chinese-language films to try to diversify.

"Are you okay?" Dameitang turned sideways and whispered.

Seeing Dameitang's worried eyes, Chen Hao smiled, "I've thought for a long time that I won't be awarded easily, especially if I'm awarded the best director for a sci-fi film."

Even though "Interstellar" is known as a sci-fi masterpiece, most awards ceremonies undoubtedly have colored glasses for sci-fi films, and visual sensory stimulation seems to be a label that it can never get rid of.

As for the connotation and significance of the film, even if there is, it cannot be so deep, and this impression may never be erased.

This is also the reason why the North American media think that it is almost impossible for Chen Hao to win the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture only with sci-fi films.

As for "Gravity", Chen Hao won the best director. In addition to the film's great impact, it also perfectly reproduces the execution and creativity of the art of film.

Of course, it is also because there is no film with a very outstanding director style to compete with it, otherwise it is hard to say whether Chen Hao will win the award.

Dameitang saw that Chen Hao didn't seem to be feeling very uncomfortable, so she smiled and nodded, "That's good!"

Seeing this, Chen Hao said, "It's not true, I still feel a little uncomfortable."

"Then what should we do?" Da Meitang tilted her head and said coquettishly.

Chen Hao leaned over and whispered, "I want to eat Tang, and I won't feel bad after eating Tang."

Damei Tang gave Chen Hao a flirtatious look, and then whispered, "I'll let you eat your fill tonight!"

……

"The best feature film of the 50th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards is "Parents Are Not Home"!"

This film is from Singapore and won an award at the Venice Film Festival before, but it has no commercial value at all.

It can be seen that this year's Golden Horse still insists on its own literary and artistic line.

Four awards, 1 in the Mainland, 2 in Taiwan, and 1 in Singapore.

It flattered the Taiwan film industry and the general public, gave face to the mainland, and at the same time demonstrated the international style of Golden Horse, which was a good score.

Of course, just kidding.

It should be to support local films, adhere to the background of literature and art, take into account commercial value, and have a longer-term vision. The 50th Golden Horse Awards have consolidated the concept of Chinese-language films and added a heart to Chinese-language films.

"Interstellar" won a total of three awards for Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects and Best New Actor, the same number of awards as "The Grandmaster", second only to "Parents Are Not Home" which won 4 awards.

Of course, the gold content of the "Interstellar" trophy should not be as good as others.

After the awards ceremony, Chen Hao took Dameitang and Zhao Jinmai to the dinner.

"Director Chen, you see that I won the award. I didn't embarrass you!" Zhao Jinmai smiled excitedly while holding the Golden Horse trophy.

Chen Hao smiled and patted his head, "Yes, you will definitely be better at acting than your sister Tangtang in the future!"

Da Mei Tang rolled her eyes charmingly when she heard the words.

"Hahaha..." Zhao Jinmai kept laughing happily, then stretched out his finger and ticked it, motioning Chen Hao to lower his body.

Seeing this, Chen Hao bent down and said, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Jinmai suddenly kissed Chen Hao's handsome face, and then asked in a low voice, "I'm like this, will Miss Tangtang be angry with me?"

"Hahaha..." Chen Hao couldn't help laughing out loud, and patted his head again, "You're a big kid!"

Da Meitang also heard it, and deliberately stared at her beautiful eyes to scare little Lolita.

Seeing this, little loli smiled and hid behind Chen Hao.

"Don't scare other children." Chen Hao joked.

Dameitang said quietly, "I'm still young, but after 7 years, the girls will be [-] years old, and we are all old!"

Chen Hao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words, "Do you also eat children's jealousy?"

"Hmph!" Dameitang snorted arrogantly.

"You also said that she is still young, don't think about those things." Chen Hao shook his head.

Afterwards, Chen Hao handed Zhao Jinmai to Dameitang to take care of him, and went to find Li Yin by himself.

Chen Hao's participation in the Golden Horse Awards was strongly invited by Li Press. Of course, Li Press also accepted Chen Hao's invitation to participate in the Golden Crown Awards.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Chen Hao left with two beauties, one big and one small, who were staring at each other.

This disappointed the international chapter who wanted to come to him for a chat.

After returning to the hotel, Chen Hao picked up Dameitang and kissed her passionately.

Dameitang's heaven-defying legs immediately clamped Chen Hao's old waist tightly, and responded enthusiastically while vaguely saying, "The little guy has a lot of thoughts, and he will not be a fuel-efficient lamp in the future."

Chen Hao laughed and said, "She is only 11 years old, what can she tell?"

"Hmph, girls nowadays are all precocious." Damei Tangjiao snorted.

Seeing this, Chen Hao had no choice but to say, "It's business, concentrate on it!"

Then he kissed Da Meitang's red lips, not allowing her to speak again.

Dameitang can't make a sound!
……

The next day, Da Mei Tang returned directly to the crew of "Monster Hunt", while Chen Hao flew to the United States with International Zhang to start the promotion of "Interstellar".

"Interstellar" is scheduled to be officially released in North America on December 12.

Originally, "Interstellar" was supposed to be scheduled for mid-December, but because MGM will release the second film "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" after being acquired by Haotian Entertainment North America this year.

In order not to let the two blockbusters affect each other's box office, Liang Tianchi Films moved "Interstellar" to the next stage, and because "The Hunger Games 11" will be released in late November, "Interstellar" was set at 2 the beginning of the month.

Let the 3 films be separated by 2 weeks.

During the promotion, Chen Hao was very calm, but the international chapter seemed extremely excited.

Maybe it's because of the actress who just won the Golden Horse Award, or maybe it's because it's the first time in the international chapter that there will be a film released in North America after many years.

Moreover, this film can be called a blockbuster, and the North American film market is also looking forward to this "Interstellar".

This can be seen from the number of media during the promotion and the scale of the release.

This makes the international chapter seem to have regained the excitement of breaking into Hollywood for the first time many years ago.

"Interstellar" is finally released in North America!
North American weekend box office list (2013.12.6-2013.12.8):
No. 1, "Interstellar", with a weekend box office of 5000 million US dollars, Haotian Films, with a cumulative box office of 5000 million US dollars, 3561 theaters, and an investment cost of 1.3 million US dollars;
No. 2, "Frozen Adventure", with a weekend box office of 3164 million US dollars, Disney, with a cumulative box office of 13427 million US dollars, and 3742 theaters, a 53% decrease from last week, with an investment cost of 1.5 million US dollars;
No. 3, "The Hunger Games 2", with a weekend box office of 2700 million US dollars, Tianchi Pictures, with a cumulative box office of 33666 million US dollars, 4163 theaters, a decrease of 63.6% compared with last week, and an investment cost of 1.3 million US dollars;
……

After "The Hunger Games 2" and "Frozen Adventure" were released in the same week, the two films staged a song of ice and fire, but in the first 2 weeks, "The Hunger Games 2" achieved two consecutive championships!
However, when the box office of "Frozen Adventure" finally surpassed "The Hunger Games 3" in the third week, it did not take advantage of the trend to reach the top of the North American weekend box office rankings, but Chen Hao's "Interstellar" parachuted to the top position.

"Interstellar" was screened in 3561 theaters by Liangtianchi Films. It grossed a total of 5000 million U.S. dollars in three days in the first weekend, and the single-house revenue was also as high as 14041 U.S. dollars.

This achievement ranked Chen Hao's Chinese-language film at the third place in the U.S. opening chart, behind "Inception" with US$3 million and "Gravity" with US$6040 million.

It surpassed the US$3912 million of "Magic Mike", ranking first on the opening list of films starring Matthew McConnell.

Ranked No. 1 on the North American opening list of films starring in the international chapter.

"No matter how cool Chen Hao's concept is, his story structure is the same as before. It has never changed and will not change. Whether it is the deformation of "The Ninth District", or the oblique perspective of "Inception", or "Interstellar" "Enter the secrets of the high-latitude space.

The core of Chen Hao's films are emotions, whether it is lovers, fathers and daughters, friends, or even the great love for justice.

Chen Hao's strength lies in his ability to create grand commercial visual effects while writing the simplest emotional stories.

This time "Interstellar Crossing" is no exception. Under the cloak of "Interstellar Adventure", betrayal, sacrifice, black holes, quantum mechanics, etc., it is the simplest true love between father and daughter.

The addition of acting schools such as Matthew McConaughey, Chow Yun-fa, and International Zhang made his interpretation even more subtle.

Just like what Chen Hao has done in the past, "Interstellar" also arouses the audience's ultimate thinking, but this time it is about love and protection!I hope everyone can experience Chen Hao's meditation together. "

The Chicago Sun-Times

"Interstellar is as much a grand sci-fi production as it is a simple fairytale of love and sacrifice. We see avant-garde, wonder, hope and heartbreak in this film!"
-
ReelViews
"What a beautiful interstellar epic! Packed with great performances and stimulated with masterful special effects! The film dares to speak out about emotion and uses big issues to question the meaning of life, leaving us exhausted and grateful prostrate on the ground!"
-
The New York Post

"Once again Chen Hao demonstrates his genius and delivers us a soulful, must-see masterpiece, one of the most exciting films of this century!"
-
"empire"

"Brainstorming, deep-fermenting and extraordinarily magnificent, this is Stephen Hawking's version of "Star Trek".
-
"London Time Out"

"A cosmic adventure that's surreal and fantastical, beautiful and daring, but doesn't lose the damn sense of reality!"
-
"Variety Show"

"One high-speed skiing through Chen Hao's brain hole, Chen Hao used his Frankenstein-like imagination to burst out burning dreams, and at the same time caused the audience to fall into huge thinking!"

The Hollywood Reporter

……

While "Interstellar" successfully won the North American weekly box office champion in the first week, it also received extreme praise from many Hollywood media.

In particular, the above-mentioned media magazines have given "Interstellar" full marks, and they can be said to pay homage to Chen Hao and this "Interstellar"!

After 3 days in the first week, as many as 36987 people rated "Interstellar", and they scored 8.9 points!
This score directly makes "Interstellar" ranked 250th in the IMDB top8, and it is also the highest-ranked science fiction film!
And "Twelve Angry Men", "Schindler's List" and "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" ranked fifth, sixth, and seventh with 8.9 points.

Of course, this score will definitely decrease in the future as the number of scorers increases, but even so, it can be seen that the audience recognizes "Interstellar".

The score of "Interstellar" also ranked first in Chen Hao's personal IMDB list, followed by "Inception" with a score of 8.8.

However, "Inception" has been released for more than 2 years, and the number of people who scored it is as high as 363056. The ranking has been quite stable, ranking 250th on the IMDB top14!
From this point of view, it is probably impossible for "Interstellar" to surpass the ranking of "Inception".

But in fact, after watching the two films, many people should think that "Interstellar" has a higher score than "Inception".

After all, "Inception" has more commercial elements, while "Interstellar" is more sci-fi and deeper.

But the reality is that "Inception" ranks higher than "Interstellar" no matter in IMDB top250 or Douban.com top250.

　Thanks to "Qinglian Earth" for the 1500 reward!
