Chapter 831 Little Record Breaker
"The best DVD release of the 36th American Saturn Awards is "Truth First!"

"Watchmen (Ultimate Edition) won the Best DVD Special Edition at the 36th American Saturn Awards!"

"The winner of the 36th Saturn Awards for Best DVD Collection is "Star Trek"!"

"The one who won the best art direction at the 36th American Saturn Awards is "Avatar"!"

"Avatar", which received ten nominations and led this year's Saturn Awards, won the first nomination, setting a record for the first time!

"The winner of the 36th Saturn Awards for Best Makeup is Star Trek!"

"Watcher is the winner of the best costume at the 36th Saturn Awards!"

The domestic film "Red Cliff" was shortlisted for this Best Costume Award, and the nominee was Tim Yip, who everyone is familiar with, but it was a pity that he did not win the award.

This is related to the failure of "Red Cliff" to get a higher box office in the United States. The Saturn Award still prefers movies with hot box office and great influence.

"The winner of the 36th Saturn Awards for Best Performance by a Young Actor is Saoirse Ronan, "The Lovely Bones"!"

Chen Hao had seen this fantasy thriller directed by Peter Jackson in his previous life, but "The Lovely Bones" reminded Chen Hao of another movie "Winter's Bone".

Because "Winter's Bone" is a film starring the big cousin Jennifer Lawrence and gained fame.

Just this year, more precisely, 4 days ago, this film was released in North America, and the big cousin will be nominated for an Oscar for her wonderful performance in this film.

Then, just three years later, she won the Oscar for Best Actress at the age of 3, becoming the first post-23s generation in film history to win the Best Actress Oscar.

Of course, behind her is the help of Harvey Weinstein, Oscar's number one publicist and sexual harassment master.

The reason why I think of my big cousin is because she is really famous all over the world because of the super popular series of blockbuster films "The Hunger Games".

And the right to adapt this film has been won by Liangtianchi Films, and the project has already started to be approved, and the filming will start next year.

However, regarding the arrangement of the heroine, Chen Hao was a little hesitant. She was a big cousin in her previous life, but in terms of appearance, she was undoubtedly inferior. Chen Hao was thinking about whether to change to a new generation of young actresses in Hollywood with better appearance.

"The winner of the best soundtrack at the 36th Saturn Awards is James Horner, "Avatar"!"

"The winner of the 36th Saturn Awards for Best Special Effects is..."

The presentation of the best special effects brought Chen Hao's thoughts back to the awards ceremony, because both "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" were nominated for this award.

It’s just that the chances of winning the award are not high. Even with double nominations, the biggest hit must still be “Avatar”, which caused a global 3D frenzy. It is basically impossible to beat “Avatar” in terms of special effects.

And so it turned out.

Afterwards, Chen Hao lifted his spirits, and the best screenplay will be presented next. Chen Hao still won double nominations for "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

It is difficult to beat "Avatar", which can be said to have revolutionized the previous viewing mode, in technical awards, so we can only hope for other non-technical awards.

"The winner of the 36th Saturn Awards for Best Screenplay is James Cameron, "Avatar"!"

Chen Hao shook his head secretly when he heard the words, the 3D storm caused by "Avatar" and the influence of the global box office champion are too great, and this is just in line with the taste of the Saturn Award.

It seems that it is not so difficult to compete with "Avatar".

And "Avatar" is already 4 out of 4, and none of them missed. It deserves to be the biggest favorite of this year's Saturn Awards.

"The winner of the 36th Saturn Awards for Best Supporting Actress is Sigourney Weaver, "Avatar"!"

"The winner of the 36th Saturn Awards for Best Supporting Actor is Andy Serkis, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes"!"

After hearing this, Chen Hao couldn't help applauding vigorously, and finally broke the [-]% hit rate of "Avatar", and at the same time, he was finally offended.

Although the protagonists of "Avatar" are a group of blue-faced aliens, they retain many human habitual movements, so it is not too difficult to act.

But Caesar played by Andy Serkis can be described as penetrating and lifelike, making people feel that this is really a gorilla standing in front of the camera, and he deserves the award.

"The winner of the 36th American Saturn Awards for Best Animated Film is "War against Aliens"!"

In 08, Haotian special effects "Kung Fu Panda" won many Annie Awards, but it didn't win any Saturn, Golden Globe or Oscar.

I don't know whether this year's "How to Train Your Dragon" and "Despicable Me" will bring a trophy to Haotian Special Effects, truly gain mainstream recognition and rank among the top of the world's top special effects companies.

"The winner of the 36th Saturn Awards for Best Actress is Zoe Saldana, "Avatar"!"

Chen Hao instantly felt that Kate Beckinsale beside him softened and leaned against the back of the chair. Apparently she was disappointed that she, who was also nominated, did not win the award.

Chen Hao approached Kate Beckinsale with a smile and said, "Don't be disappointed, go back tonight and comfort you!"

Kate Beckinsale couldn't help giving Chen Hao a blank look when she heard the words.

"The winner of the 36th Saturn Awards for Best Actor is Sam Worthington, "Avatar"!"

Afterwards, after "Avatar" won Best Actor again, it has already won 7 trophies. It seems that tonight is likely to be the night of "Avatar" sweeping.

"The winner of the 36th Saturn Awards for Best International Film is..."

Chen Hao couldn't help but sit upright. "Edge of Tomorrow" was shortlisted for this award, and the possibility of winning is very high.

"Red Cliff" was also shortlisted, along with "The Fantastic Show of Dr. Parnassus," "The Silence of Lorna" and "The Bat."

But in terms of box office and influence in North America, "Edge of Tomorrow" is obviously much stronger.

"The winner of the 36th Saturn Awards for Best International Film is "Edge of Tomorrow"!"

Chen Hao couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and finally won a trophy, but this is the second time Chen Hao has won the Saturn Award for Best International Film, so he is not particularly excited.

"Congratulations!" Kate Beckinsale embraced Chen Hao and blew in his ear.

Chen Hao stiffened slightly to show respect, "If you really want to congratulate, let's see your performance tonight!"

Kate Beckinsale bit her red lips lightly and returned a meaningful smile.

Chen Hao stepped onto the stage, received the ugly Saturn Award trophy and said with a smile, "I am very happy to receive this award. This is a compliment to the entire crew of "Edge of Tomorrow". I also thank everyone on the crew for their hard work. I hope I will return next year." can stand here."

As soon as Chen Hao sat down, he looked at the stage attentively again, because the best director award was going to be presented next.

Chen Hao is still a double nominee, and his competitors are J.J. Abrams from "Star Trek", Catherine Bigelow from "The Hurt Locker", and Guy Ritchie from "Sherlock Holmes".

Zack Snyder in Watchmen, Quentin Tarantino in Inglourious Basterds, and James Cameron in Avatar.

None of them are unknown, and Chen Hao's double nomination seems to have the best chance, but it is likely to be divided into thin votes, and last year Chen Hao just won the best director with "Iron Man", and it will undoubtedly be more difficult to win this year. several times.

As for the biggest favorite, it must be Cameron.

If it hadn't been for the best supporting actor miss, "Avatar" would have hit the nail on the head.

"The winner of the 36th Saturn Awards for Best Director is James Cameron, "Avatar"!"

Sure enough, Chen Hao shook his head slightly, feeling a little regretful, but it was okay, after all, he had already taken it.

"The winner of the 36th Saturn Awards for Best Horror Film is "Into Hell"!"

"Twilight Saga 2: New Moon", which was also shortlisted, failed to win the award, but it is really no one to classify "New Moon" as a horror movie.

"The winner of the Best Action/Adventure/Thriller Movie at the 36th Saturn Awards is "Inglourious Basterds"!"

"The winner of the 36th Saturn Awards for Best Fantasy Film is "Watchmen"!"

"The winner of the 36th Saturn Awards for Best Science Fiction Film is "Avatar"!"

……

With the presentation of the best sci-fi film, the 36th American Saturn Awards officially came to an end.

Undoubtedly, "Avatar" became the biggest winner, nine out of ten, almost a [-]% hit rate.

Chen Hao won the best international film for "Edge of Tomorrow", and the best supporting actor for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". Finally, he didn't leave empty-handed!
After the ceremony, Chen Hao took Kate Beckinsale back to his Beverly Hills villa.

As soon as he entered the villa, Chen Hao picked up Kate Beckinsale and went directly into the bedroom, leaving behind the elder sister who shook her head helplessly.

Tonight, Sister Shi suffered from insomnia again.

……

Early the next morning, Chen Hao went directly to Liangtianchi Pictures.

"Chen!" Smart greeted.

"How is the box office of "Iron Man 2"?" Chen Hao asked.

"Last weekend's box office has fallen below 300 million US dollars, specifically 287 million US dollars." Smart replied, "Now the North American box office of "Iron Man 2" has just exceeded 3 million US dollars, reaching 30421 million US dollars .”

"Then how much will the final North American box office of "Iron Man 2" be?" Chen Hao frowned.

"That's about 3.1 million." Smart said.

"How about the box office outside of North America?" Chen Hao asked.

"Basically, it is almost sold out all over the world now, and the final box office should be 6 million U.S. dollars." Smart replied.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. This is about the same as the original expectation. As far as the box office is concerned, Liang Tianchi Pictures did not make much money.

"How much is the box office of How to Train Your Dragon?" Chen Hao asked.

"How to Train Your Dragon has already been released in North America, with a final box office of 2.15 million US dollars." Smart thought for a while, "As for outside North America, there are still some regions that have not been released, but it should not exceed 5 million box office."

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. Although this result is not as good as "Kung Fu Panda", it is still extremely successful.

Coupled with the excellent reputation of the media, there is a high possibility of being nominated for an Oscar. Obviously, the reputation of Haotian special effects will become more and more famous.

"By the way, 20th Century Fox contacted you." Smart said.

Chen Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked in his heart, "What's the matter?"

"Seeing the successful restart of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and its good reputation, they are ready to execute your 1+1 contract." Smart said.

Chen Hao paused when he heard the words, "I've thought about it a long time ago, so let's talk about the second half of this year. Have you sent a script?"

"They should have all emailed you," Smart said.

Chen Hao nodded upon hearing this.

"In addition, Universal is also looking for you, and I hope you will continue to cooperate with them." Smart said.

"Hey!" Chen Hao sighed when he heard the words. In order to recover the copyright of Marvel superheroes, he sold himself two years ago.

"Didn't you say that it was written in the contract that you can give them the right to shoot the sequel of "Teddy Bear", which can offset your directing once." Smart said seeing this.

"This "Teddy Bear" hasn't been released yet!" Chen Hao asked.

"It was just released last weekend, you can see for yourself!" Smart handed a document to Chen Hao and said.

Chen Hao turned his head when he heard the words.

North American weekend box office list (2010.6.18-2010.6.20):
No. 1, "Toy Story 3", Disney, with a weekend box office of 10900 million US dollars, a cumulative box office of 10900 million US dollars, and 4028 theaters;

……

The box office champion in North America last week was Toy Story 3, the final chapter of the well-known CG animation trilogy, which easily won the championship with a record of 1.09 million US dollars.

"Teddy Bear" directed by Chen Hao ranked second with a box office of 5410 million US dollars, and the gap is quite obvious.

Although "Teddy Bear" only had a theater release scale in the early 3000s, its total income of US$5410 million in the three days of the weekend guaranteed a high single-house record of US$16703!
And settled in various lists with a high profile.

First of all, this result ranks 7th on the opening list of R-rated films, second to the US$2 million of "The Matrix 9177" and the US$8384 million of "The Passion of the Christ".

以及《斯巴达300勇士》的7088万美元、《汉尼拔》的5800万、《欲望都市》的5703万以及《守望者》的5521万；
Secondly, surpassing cheap and bad blockbusters such as "Super Bad", "Knocked Up", and "Pineapple Express", it became the first opening of bad boys and bad human-themed films;
Third, it ranks fifth in the opening list of films starring CG characters, second only to "Avatar" (7702 million), Ang Lee's version of "Hulk" (6221 million), and Norton's version of "Hulk" (5541 million). , "Stobby Dog" ($5415 million);

4th, becoming the second highest opening of Mark Wahlberg's personal acting career, second only to "Planet of the Apes" with 6853 million US dollars.

You must know that the release of "Teddy Bear" has ruined the childhoods of countless Americans, and the effect is basically equivalent to the Haier brothers being gay.

At the same time, "Teddy Bear" created the highest box office record for a comedy film directed by Chen Hao. Although there were only two films, "Teddy Bear" surpassed "The Hangover" at the box office with US$2 million.

　Thank you for the 500 tip of "Your father is your father after all"!
