Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 864 I Became the Vice President of the Directors Association
In 2010, China's film industry maintained a momentum of rapid growth. The construction of new theaters and new screens was accelerated, and an average of 4.3 new screens were added every day throughout the year. By the end of 2010, the number of screens nationwide had reached 6306.

At the same time, in 2010, the total box office of city theaters across the country exceeded 114.32 billion for the first time, reaching 2009 billion yuan, an increase of 66.77% from 71.21 billion yuan in [-]!

In 2010, the box office threshold for entering the top ten box office of the year has exceeded 2 million yuan. The tenth place is "The Expendables" with 2.13 million yuan, and the 11th place is "The Orphan of Zhao" with 1.96 million yuan!
Among the top ten films, Hollywood films occupy 4 seats, while domestic films account for 6.

The annual crown belongs to Chen Hao's "Inception" with 13.6 billion yuan, followed by "Avatar" with 13.5 billion yuan and "Tangshan Earthquake" with 6.47 million yuan, winning the second and third place respectively.

"Let the Bullets Fly" (currently in theaters), known as a masterpiece, currently has a box office of 4.79 million, and "If You Are the One 3.2" (currently in theaters), which is 2 million yuan, is temporarily ranked fourth and fifth!

Among the top ten films, Haotian Films has 2 films, namely "Inception" and "Di Renjie: The Empire of Tongtian".

Huayi also has 2 films in the top ten, which are Feng Dapao's 2 films this year, "Tangshan Earthquake" and "If You Are the One 2", the mainstay of Huayi, and it is by no means a vain name!

In addition, in 2010, the four major mainland directors released new films, namely Chen Hao's "Inception", Feng Dapao's "Tangshan Earthquake" and "If You Are the One 2".

"The Orphan of the Zhao Family" by Chen Kaige, and "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" by the National Teacher!
Chen Hao's "Inception" created a myth in the box office, and has a good reputation, with Douban's professional score of 9.0 and fans' score of 9.5, which can be called the work of 2010!

The combined box office of Feng Dapao's two films also exceeded 10 billion, and "Tangshan Earthquake" was well received.

Guoshi's "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" has polarized word-of-mouth, but the box office also has 1.44 million yuan, ranking 17th in the year. Although it is not as strong as before, it is obviously profitable.

As for Chen Kaige's "Orphan of the Zhao Family", the production cost was nearly 7000 million, of which 4000 million was used to build the "Zhao Family Orphan City", with a box office of 1.96 million, ranking 11th in the year, with a dismal reputation.

If you only look at the performance of the film, in terms of percentages, it is obvious that Chen Hao can get 95 points, Feng Dapao 85 points, and Guoshi 70 points. As for Chen Kaige, give it 60 points!
At the same time, the titles of the top five directors began to circulate in the Mainland!

The fifth largest is obviously relying on "Let the Bullets Fly" to become a god Jiang Wen.

In fact, everyone has seen Jiang Wen's talent for a long time. "The Sun Also Rises" and "The Devil Is Coming" have long been famous both at home and abroad, and Jiang Wen has also won many international awards.

Now, the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" is close to 5 million. Judging from the film's word-of-mouth and box office trends, it is not impossible to surpass "Tangshan Earthquake" before it is released.

Judging from trophies and box office results, Jiang Wen is indeed enough to be tied with the four major directors!
That is, Jiang Wen's talent in commercial films, or whether he is willing to cater to the audience is still open to question!
Speaking of Chen Hao, "Inception"'s 13.6 billion box office allowed Chen Hao to successfully defeat the king of the world and win the box office championship in mainland film history, and the 2010 annual crown was naturally accepted by the way.

This is the 4th consecutive year that Chen Hao has won the annual box office champion in the Mainland!
The title of China's number one business leader is well-deserved!

"The 83rd Oscar nomination list is announced, and "Inception" has 9 nominations!" --- Sohu Entertainment Report
"Chen Hao made history! "Inception" was nominated for 9 Oscars!"-- Netease Entertainment
"Inception" has become the foreign language film with the most nominations in the history of Oscars!"--Douyan.com

……

On January 2011, 1, the 5rd Academy Awards officially announced the nomination list for this awards ceremony.

Among them, "The King's Speech" led with 12 nominations, followed by Chen Hao's "Inception" with 9 nominations.

"Inception" won Best Picture, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Sound Effects, Best Original Soundtrack, Best Art Direction, Best Sound Editing, and Best Visual Effects nominate.

It's a pity that Chen Hao was not nominated for the best director. It's a pity!
Moreover, most of the nominations for "Inception" are technical awards, and there is only one real award nomination for best picture, and the probability of winning is extremely small.

After all, Oscars have never waited for sci-fi films, and it is almost impossible for "Inception" to win the best picture.

But Hao Yi and Chang Hongsong were very happy.

Hao Yi was nominated for the best art direction of "Inception". This is also his second nomination for an Oscar. This achievement is rare in China, and it is even more unique in the Mainland.

The nominees for Best Visual Effects are Digital Realm and Haotian Special Effects.

In addition, Haotian Special Effects' "How to Train Your Dragon" was also nominated for Best Original Score and Best Animated Feature Film!

This time, Haotian Special Effects won 3 Oscar nominations, especially the Best Animated Feature Film, which is the best praise for Haotian Special Effects. If it can win the award, it will make history!
Although "Despicable Me" did not receive any nominations, it was enough to make Chang Hongsong and Haotian special effects excited.

Because "Inception" and "How to Train Your Dragon" were nominated for Oscars, Chen Hao once again became the headlines of the major media.

However, Chen Hao just glanced at the nomination list and forgot about it, and went to participate in the annual awards of the China Film Directors Association!
The Annual Award of the China Film Directors Association is a academic professional award established by the China Film Directors Association in accordance with the association's charter.

The judges of this award are all directors of the Directors Association, aiming to select major film awards from the professional perspective of directors.

The China Film Directors Association is composed of a group of famous film directors and a group of directors of the new generation. Today, there are only 67 official members of the Film Directors Association.

After all, this is not an era when cross-border games are popular, not everyone can be a director, and there must be a certain entry threshold for entering the association, so the number of members is relatively small.

Chen Hao has long joined the Huaxia Film Directors Association, and the one who invited him to join is his teacher, Xie Fei!
When Chen Hao celebrated the 2005th anniversary of the birth of Huaxia Film in 100, he also won the Annual Box Office Director Award in the first Directors Guild Annual Awards.

Ning Hao, Yang Qing, Lu Yang, and even Wen Muye, Guo Fan, Xue Xiaolu, etc. were all dragged into the club by Chen Hao.

Xie Fei is also one of the vice-chairmen of the China Directors Association, and Teng Wenji (Teng Huatao's father), a foreign teacher, is also the vice-chairman.

This is their second governing body.

In the first session, the president Xie Tieli, the vice presidents Xie Jin, Wu Yigong, Xie Fei, Guoshi, the secretary-general Teng Wenji and Zheng Dongtian!

In the second session, Xie Tieli retired, Wu Yigong became the chairman (Xie Jin passed away in 2008), Teng Wenji became one of the three vice-chairmen, and He Qun became one of the two secretary-generals.

Now, Xie Fei is about to retire, and he nominated Chen Hao as the vice president.

This decision was passed after some discussions. Although Chen Hao is very young, Chen Hao's ability is enough, not to mention Chen Hao has strong financial resources.

At the same time, the directors' association is composed of well-known directors and young directors. Chen Hao is a well-known director, but he is also a young director. He occupies the position of vice president and can represent young directors well.

Another reason I have to say is that Chen Hao was born in Emperor Ying!
This influence is really not small, just look at the leadership of the association. The president Wu Yigong, the vice president Xie Fei, the national teacher, Teng Wenji, the secretary-general He Qun, and Zheng Dongtian are all graduates of Diying.

It is true to say that Diying has a director!
Xie Fei nominated his disciple, the national teacher has always admired Chen Hao, and Teng Wenji strongly agreed with it, probably because his son is in Haotian.

In addition, there is an exchange of benefits.

The Huaxia Directors Association wants to become one of the initiators of the "Haotian Newcomer Director Program" initiated by Haotian Films, and has now changed its name to the "Young Director Program".

Because Haotian Films has invested nearly [-] million yuan over the years, this plan has indeed launched many directors, such as Yang Qing, Li Yu, Yu Feihong, Xue Xiaolu and Xu Shanzheng.

Relying on this plan, they became famous in one fell swoop, or left a good impression and reputation in the industry.

As for the subsidized college student directors, there are more than [-]. This number may not seem to be many, but it is already a huge number in the director circle.

Regardless of whether these people are famous or not, at least they are the base of the director industry. So many people have benefited from this, and their gratitude to this project is self-evident.

It is even possible that this plan surpasses the attraction and influence of the Directors Guild for young directors.

As the largest directors' organization in the country, the Huaxia Directors Association will naturally have ideas in the face of such a situation.

However, the Directors Association is also self-aware. As long as they have this name, the actual control is still in the hands of Haotian Films. Of course, they also need some quotas to win over and train their favorite directors.

For this request, Chen Hao agreed after thinking about it. Anyway, the control is still in his hands. Even if some quotas are allocated, he believes that those newcomers will know who is the beneficiary behind the scenes.

And with the strength of Haotian Films, they really might not thank anyone.

Chen Hao thought it was a good deal to get the vice-chairman of the Directors Association for such a small price, and in Chen Hao's opinion, he would be the future chairman.

Because, we are rich!
It’s true that you are all directors, but you also have to live and invest.

Then, the matter of money is not a matter!

When the time comes, it will be up to Chen Hao to decide!

Moreover, Chen Hao wanted this vice president because he wanted to serve a plan for his future.

……

It's a bit shabby to say, although the first China Directors Association Annual Awards was held in 2005, but this year's 2011 is the second one!
Because it was closed for 4 years in the middle!
In addition to being nominated as the vice president this year, Chen Hao is also a member of the jury. The chairman of the jury is He Dongdong, the secretary-general. The jury also includes Tian Zhuangzhuang, Li Shaohong, Lu Chuan, Ning Hao, Jia Zhangke, and Wan Ma.

The place where the annual awards are held is in a small auditorium. The environment is really not good. It seems that this association has no money, and it is purely for love.

When Chen Hao entered the auditorium, many people who saw him stood up immediately. Obviously, Chen Hao's strength, achievements and influence have already made people ignore his age.

"Hello Director Chen!"

"Hello, Dong Chen!"

"Director Chen!"

……

Everyone greeted Chen Hao enthusiastically along the way, and Chen Hao never refused to come, and responded to each one with greetings.

"Xiao Chen, come here!" Xie Fei looked at his proud disciple and waved with a smile.

Hearing this, Chen Hao immediately stepped up and walked over, lowering his body and saying, "Teacher!"

Xie Fei nodded with a smile when he heard the words, seeing the envy on the faces of the other people, he couldn't help but curl his mouth, "Okay, let me formally introduce you, this is President Wu."

"Hi, President Wu, I'm Chen Hao!"

"This is Chairman Xie!"

……

After some introductions, Xie Fei took Chen Hao to his seat, and Teng Wenji who was beside him came over and said, "Director Chen, I have admired you for a long time!"

"President Teng is polite." Chen Hao replied.

"Xiao Tao didn't cause trouble for you!" Teng Wenji said.

Hearing this, Chen Hao knew that it was Teng Huatao who was talking about, and although he lost money on the filming of "Ghost in the Heart" last time, it is still good to make a TV series, "Chairman Teng joked, it is the company's dream to be able to cooperate with director Teng Huatao. "

"Hahaha..." Teng Wenji smiled after hearing this, "He will also know how to do three-legged cat kung fu, thanks to Director Chen for not giving up."

"President Teng is too modest. Director Teng is not just a three-legged cat." Chen Hao said, "And to be honest, if it is just a three-legged cat's kung fu, the company may not cooperate with him."

"Hahaha...that's right!" Teng Wenji laughed.

After chatting with Teng Wenji for a while, Chen Hao approached the national teacher again, "National teacher, hello!"

Speaking of which, Chen Hao's favorite mainland director is the national teacher, both in terms of ability and character, he belongs to the top of the mainland.

"Hello, Mr. Chen!" The national teacher looked at Chen Hao and said kindly.

"Just call me Director Chen!" Chen Hao said, "There is only the director here, nothing else."

"Alright!" The national teacher nodded.

"Speaking of which, you and I used to be neighbors..." Chen Hao said.

……

Time passed by, and soon it was seven o'clock, and the annual meeting of the Huaxia Directors Association officially started!
That's right, it's the annual meeting, and awarding is only one of the agendas. It's rare for everyone to get together, so naturally we need to chat and communicate more, and at the same time, we need to decide on the main tasks of the association in the next stage.

As for the awards, there are only 9 awards in total, and there are no stage performances, let alone red carpets, and there are not even many celebrities, so it doesn't take much time at all.

Still the same sentence, the current Huaxia Directors Association is really a bit shabby!
"I'm very glad that everyone can gather together today to participate in the annual meeting of the China Directors Association..."

Chairman Wu Yigong started a long speech, reported the fruitful achievements of the association in 2010, and then looked forward to this year before starting the business.

"First of all, I would like to inform everyone that the previous vice president Xie Fei will step down today, and at the same time, we will elect a new vice president." Wu Yigong said.

Afterwards, Xie Fei came to the stage and said a few words, and briefly reviewed his career, as well as the establishment and growth of the association.

After finishing speaking, the audience burst into applause. Maybe Xie Fei is not very famous in the outside world, but he is still very respected in the industry. Whether it is ability or character, he is also regarded as a peach and plum in the world. Many people have listened to his class.

"Next, I want to announce that the new vice president of our China Directors Association is Chen Hao!"
