Chapter 501 Golden Globe Awards

The box office performance of "The Promise" was 7452 million yuan in the first week, so many people who doubted whether its box office could exceed 2 million overturned their previous predictions, and they were all optimistic that "The Promise" could break 2 million!
But whether it can surpass "The Martian" to win the annual championship is still a matter of opinion. After all, the first week of "The Promise" is more than 1100 million yuan less than "The Martian".

And a week after its release, the media and film critics have released their film reviews of "The Promise", and the results are still polarized.

The pictures and special effects have been unanimously praised, but as far as the plot is concerned, those who like it think it is a classic, and those who don't like it think it is a bad movie.

Among them, "Southern Metropolis" has the most pungent voice of criticism.

“Apart from the exquisiteness of the picture, the whole show is a bunch of obviously well-polished Shakespearean dialogue, every sentence seems to be full of philosophy, and at the same time dry and tasteless.

One word: silly!Four words: Mystery!It might as well be called "Shapee-style dialogue" for short. There is no climax, no emotion (there is only the creator himself), and finally there is a bit of entertainment.

In the second half, something like "You ruined my chance to be a good person" made the audience burst into laughter, and every sentence became more funny, and the theater was filled with a happy atmosphere in an instant! "

However, theater managers are very happy about the contrasting controversy in the media.

Controversy is the symbiosis of all blockbusters in history. Big investment and big production have high attention. Everyone is looking forward to it and also wants to find faults and attract attention with criticism.

This is not necessarily a bad thing, sometimes it attracts a lot of neutral audiences because of this kind of controversy, and the box office continues to rise amidst the controversy.

The fact is the same. In the second week of the release of "The Promise", Guoshi's "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles" and "The Great Sage of Love" were released.

However, the impact of these two films on "The Promise" is very small. The box office of "The Promise" broke through 8 million in 1.25 days, and the cumulative box office in two weeks reached [-] million yuan!

This box office result made Chen Kaige both gratified and a little helpless.

Because, now many film critics are criticizing "The Promise", and the word-of-mouth of "The Promise" is in embarrassment, but the box office is doing well, breaking 1.2 million in two weeks!
But compared with "The Martian", which was also released for two weeks, the gap between "The Promise" and it has widened again, reaching 1600 million yuan!

Chen Kaige is scratching his head now, not understanding why this happened. In his own thinking, "The Promise" should have swept the box office when it was born, accompanied by flowers and applause.

But the facts are not in line with my expectations, but fortunately, the box office is doing well, and now I still pay close attention to publicity to strive for a higher box office.

Soon, Chen Kaige found an excellent publicity stunt, and the 63rd Golden Globe Awards announced this year's nomination list.

"The Promise" was successfully shortlisted for the best foreign language film candidate of this year's Golden Globe Awards, which made Chen Kaige smile. He mentioned this when he met a reporter, which proved the excellence of his film.

He even insinuated that some domestic film critics are of low standard, have no appreciation ability, and only know to blindly follow suit.

However, "The Promise" failed to steal all the limelight, because "The Martian" was also shortlisted for this year's Golden Globe Awards, and received 3 nominations!
They are Best Foreign Language Film, Best Musical/Comedy Actor, and Best Musical/Comedy Film!
"The Promise" and "The Martian" were both shortlisted for the 63rd Golden Globe Awards! --- Sohu Entertainment Report
""The Promise" and "The Martian" reproduced last year's miracle, and both were selected as the best foreign language film at the 63rd American Golden Globe Awards!" ---Movie 1905
"The Martian" won three nominations for the 63rd Golden Globe Awards!" --- Netease Entertainment
"Zhou Runfa created a new history and became the first Chinese actor to be nominated for the Golden Globe Best Actor!"--New Wolf Entertainment
……

"The Promise" and "The Martian" were shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the same time, recreating the situation where "House of Flying Daggers" and "Man with No Surname" were both shortlisted last year.

This makes the industry very excited and proves that the influence of Chinese films is constantly increasing, especially Chen Hao has been shortlisted for two consecutive years, tying the record created by the National Teacher!

Chen Hao also received Zhou Runfa's call immediately. After all, it can be regarded as creating a new history of Chinese actors, and it is impossible not to be excited.

Zhou Runfa knew how rare this opportunity was, so he immediately called Chen Hao to express his gratitude, and his words were full of heroism again.

Undoubtedly, through "The Martian", Chow Yun-fa will once again enter Hollywood's field of vision!

Moreover, Zhou Runfa is also aware of Chen Hao's influence, and making friends with Chen Hao will be of great benefit both in the mainland and in North America.

Afterwards, congratulatory phone calls and text messages flooded in to Chen Hao. After all, this is the best film and best actor nomination of the American Golden Globe Awards, and its gold content is much higher than that of the top three in China.

At the same time, after seeing Zhou Runfa get nominated for best actor, countless actors couldn't help being moved, because it is the common hope of countless actors all over the world to go to North America.

The chances were slim before, but now because of Chen Hao's existence, they seem to be within reach. It's no wonder the actors didn't act quickly.

So Chen Hao received phone calls and text messages from International Zhang, Zhao Yanzi, Xu Jinglei and others, even Fan Yaojing and Mr. Xun who had already joined were no exception!

What's more, Li Lianhua from Huayi also contacted Chen Hao and expressed his intention to cooperate in the future.

Chen Hao didn't directly refuse. After all, the competition between companies doesn't have to be cautiously counted on artists, and although Haotian and Huayi compete, they are not always inseparable.

The "Soldier Assault" invested by Haotian found Huayi's Wang Baobao, although the director Kang Honglei went to find it.

It can only be said that in the end it is just a business, and there are not so many death-and-death situations. In the face of absolute interests, everyone can still cooperate happily.

However, in addition to this, Chen Hao also received a lot of eclectic self-recommendation letters. Some of the photos and videos in it made Chen Hao feel a little annoyed, and finally he went to Xiaohu and Dameitang to relieve his anger.

In the end, Chen Hao had no choice but to hand it over to his secretary, Xiaoying. After all, what did the secretary do.

Xiaoying exhaled fragrance while looking at the fragrant photos in Chen Hao's mailbox.

"I'll go, the chest is so big, forget it if you're exhausted, it's really big and brainless!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, the legs are so long, it's a pity not to pedal three rounds!"

"Fox spirit, there are so many leaks, is it because the family is poor and has no money to buy cloth?"

……

Chen Hao looked at Xiaoying looking at the photo with bright eyes, while criticizing plausibly there, couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, and then lowered his head to read the information.

This is what Smart sent to Chen Hao, the box office and word-of-mouth status of "The Martian" in the first week of its release in North America.
