Chapter 783 The Battle of the Three Directors
The cumulative box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" in the four weeks is 4.0015 million yuan, which is only 2 million yuan away from "Transformers 285" in the same period.

Now the media, the industry and movie fans are all looking forward to the box office of the new week, hoping that "Edge of Tomorrow" can surpass the box office of "Transformers 2" in the same period.

It even directly surpassed the total box office of "Transformers 2" and was crowned the box office champion of mainland movie history!

Chen Hao is also handling company affairs while waiting for the box office of the fifth week of "Edge of Tomorrow".

However, regardless of whether "Edge of Tomorrow" can surpass the box office of "Transformers 2" this week, Chen Hao will leave for North America next week.

The crew of the new film that is cooperating with Universal has already completed preparations, and the actors are basically in place, waiting for Chen Hao to go and start filming.

After resting for a while, Chen Hao looked at the document in his hand again.

On July 7th, Haotian Music released the third album of 20, "I Loved You Deeply" by Xue Qian.

It is still a physical + digital model. With the pre-sale plus the first week, Xue’s previous album has sold 6 physical copies, and the digital situation is better. There are a total of 5 paid downloads on Kugou Music.

In addition, Haotian Games' offer to acquire Perfect World was directly rejected. As a listed company, Perfect World is developing very well.

Moreover, Haotian only developed on the basis of a Zulong studio. From the perspective of Perfect World, it is impossible for them to marry a studio.

Although the core business of Perfect World is still games, it has begun to diversify. It has not only established Perfect World, but also plans to make Perfect World independent.

Even in the field of online literature, which accounts for an increasing proportion of the online entertainment field, Perfect World is also involved. They have a controlling stake in Hengzong Chinese.com.

With the support of Perfect World's funds, Hengzong Chinese.com also started to make great strides in development.

The current Perfect World is in a state of rapid development, and it has never thought of selling itself to others.

However, Perfect World agreed to sell 30% of Haotian Games’ equity to Haotian, asking for 5000 million RMB!

This price seems a little scary. After all, Haotian Games is just a new online game company established on the basis of a studio.

But what I have to say is that online games are indeed super cash cows. Even Haotian Games now has a monthly turnover of more than 2 million yuan, and last year's revenue exceeded [-] million yuan!

Therefore, the asking price of 30 million yuan for a 5000% stake in Haotian Games is not too outrageous.

After watching it, Chen Hao thought about it and agreed. After all, games will never be outdated. Chen Tianqiao was able to become the richest man in mainland China by virtue of online games, which shows how strong the game's ability to absorb money is.

Now, PC-side online games are still extremely popular, and mobile games will rise again soon.

This is a huge market of hundreds of billions of dollars, and it is necessary to get a share of it no matter what.

The time soon came to August 8th, and the 30th China Film Golden Rooster Awards announced the list of shortlisted films for this year.

"Assembly" won 9 nominations, leading the list of nominations for the 27th China Film Golden Rooster Awards!" --- Reported by Sohu Entertainment
"Chen Hao, Chen Kaige, Feng Dapao, three of the four major directors compete for the best director together!" --- 1905 Film Network

"Mr. Xun is nominated for the Golden Rooster Best Actress, and he will hit the Best Actress Grand Slam!" --- Wangyi Entertainment
……

Feng Dapao's "Assembly" became the biggest winner. It received a total of 9 nominations including Best Feature Film, Best Director, and Best Actor, leading the nomination list.

Chen Hao's "2012" followed closely with 6 nominations, and received six nominations including Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Art, Best Music, and Best Sound Recording.

As a commercial blockbuster, "2012" was nominated for the Mainland Golden Rooster Award. It broke "Titanic"'s nearly 10-year domination of the mainland film industry and became the box office champion of film history last year, which undoubtedly accounted for a considerable part of the reason.

This is also the third time that Chen Hao has been nominated for the Best Director of the Golden Rooster Award, but he failed the previous two times.

This is the same as Feng Dapao, although the box office always hits new highs, but it is not recognized by professional awards, so it is no wonder Feng Dapao always bombards these award ceremonies.

But this time, Feng Dapao nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for "Assembly", and the possibility of winning is very high.

Feng Dapao won many best directors for "Assembly" before, including last year's Hundred Flowers and this year's Huabiao. If he wins the Golden Rooster again this time, he will win all the top three in the mainland with just one film.

Chen Kaige also won 4 nominations including Best Feature Film and Best Director for "Mei Lafang".

Ning Hao of "Crazy Racing" was also nominated for best director.

Three of the four directors nominated for the best director, together with Ning Hao and Cao Baoping of "Li Mi's Conjecture", formed the top five candidates for the Golden Rooster best director.

In addition, "Painted Skin", which Haotian Film participated in the investment, also received 5 nominations, including the best actress, and the nomination was Fan Yaojing!

Another film "Li Mi's Conjecture" invested by Haotian also received multiple nominations, including the best actress for Mr. Xun.

The queen of the Golden Rooster Award is the only queen of the three Chinese film awards and the three major film awards in the Mainland that Mr. Xun has not won.

If Mr. Xun can fulfill her wish this time, then she will become the first movie queen to win the three gold medals in China and the top three in the Mainland, and become the No. 1 in the history of Chinese film and television.

This is an achievement that Gonghuang, Manshen and International Chapter have not achieved.

It is also worth mentioning that Dong Xuan was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for "Li Chun"!

As the only professional film award ceremony in the Mainland, the Golden Rooster Awards at this time were not as nicknamed as the Pheasant Awards by later generations, and they still had a high degree of authority in the first ten years of the century.

Therefore, once it was announced, it attracted the attention of the entire industry and the media.

The nominated films and actors have also become the focus of attention.

Among them, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly that the three directors jointly competed for the best director.

Chen Kaige won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director in 2003 for "With You".

And Feng Dapao, like Chen Hao, has been nominated but failed to win the award.

This time the three directors were nominated at the same time, which can be said to have earned enough attention.

However, according to the media's predictions, Feng Dapao has the greatest hope of winning the award. After all, "Assembly" is well-known, and he has already helped Feng Dapao win Huabiao and Baihua. It is very likely that he will kill three birds with one stone.

The second is Chen Kaige. "Anita Mui", as a biographical literary film, is one of the favorites of the jury.

As for Chen Hao, the biggest advantage of "2012" is undoubtedly the box office champion in film history, but this seems to be a bit uncertain.
