……

Among the horror films, the "Saw" series is the most nourishing one after another. Among the action films, the "Fast and Furious" series is the longest.

Speaking of which, these two series belong to Liang Tianchi Films, no wonder they can become the strongest independent film company.

"Fast and Furious" has also filmed the fifth part. Judging from this week's box office data, it seems that aesthetic fatigue, a fatal factor affecting the box office, has failed in this series.

This week's champion "Fast and Furious 5" finally burst into brilliant sparks after months of frustration in the North American box office market.

The speed and passion of the beauties in the car and the action of the hunk successfully completed a collective venting of the fans. After being completely wet, it is naturally a real money in vain!

"Fast and Furious 5" opened in 3644 theaters this week, with a box office of 8363 million US dollars, firmly sitting on the top box office this week. It is the highest-grossing film in the first week of this year, and it is higher than the previous champion "Li About twice as much as "Adventure".

The film's first-week box office was more than $4 million higher than "Fast and Furious 1000" ($4 million).

同时, 《速度与激情5》周五首映日的3000万票房中包括了午夜优先场的380万票房，而这也是《速度与激情4》午夜场票房180万的两倍多。

This film is the first time the "Fast and Furious" series has appeared on the IMAX screen, and the director is also the director of the first two films, Justin Lin.

In terms of cast, this film is also the most powerful in the series. In addition to Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, and Jordana Brewster, Dwayne Johnson also played a new role as Federal Agent Lu Jack Hobbs.

From the appearance point of view, no one can blend into this movie more naturally than Johnson, so there is more muscle and more box office.

The box office of $8363 million in the first week also refreshed the "highest April opening in film history" without any suspense. The previous record was "Fast and Furious 4".

At the same time, by the way, it rewrites the highest first-week record in the series and the highest premiere record for racing-themed films.

The scale of 3644 screenings is also the highest in the series. Other records rewritten by this film are as follows:

So far the highest opening in 2011, the previous record holder was "Rio Adventure", which won the biweekly championship;
The box office of the first week of the film history spring file ranked second, and the first was last year's "Alice in Wonderland";
The opening box office of non-summer and non-holiday seasons ranked third, the top two being "Alice in Wonderland" (1.16 million) and "The Passion of Christ" (8380 million);

Friday's single-day box office was 3447 million US dollars, a narrow loss to "Iron Man 1", ranking 25th in the single-day revenue ranking in film history.

In terms of word-of-mouth, the film's comprehensive media score is B-, Yahoo audience A, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is 79%.

Associated Press: "A movie with boundless energy."

News of the World: "The most solid movie so far this year, and the funniest."

"Chicago Sun-Times": "Purely an absurd and impossible mission in the movie."

Filmcritic website: "From a purely entertainment standpoint, this is the best of the five."

……

The strong box office vitality of the "Fast and Furious" series, coupled with the best reputation of the series so far, makes Liang Tianchi Pictures full of confidence in "Fast and Furious 6",

I'm afraid only Universal is about to cry and faint in the toilet. It is estimated that it never thought that this series, which had fallen to the bottom at that time, would be able to shine again with such brilliance.

……

When "Fast and Furious 5" topped the box office in North America, Chen Hao was attending the press conference again.

After several months of hard work, the relevant departments finally passed the registration for the Golden Crown Award, allowing the China Directors Association, Haotian Film, China Film, the State Administration of Optoelectronics, and the Ministry of Culture to jointly host the Golden Crown Award!
All preparations for the Golden Crown Awards by the China Directors Association can finally begin immediately.

The first thing to do is to officially announce the Golden Crown Award, and let everyone know about this award, so a press conference was held first.

This press conference was held in the name of Haotian Films, one of the organizers of the Golden Crown Awards, in order to attract enough media reporters to participate.

The fact is also the same, with the influence of Haotian Films in the industry and circle, there are as many as hundreds of media present that day.

At the same time, Weibo, Tudou.com and Shonan Satellite TV broadcast the press conference in real time.

In order to show importance, all the main leaders of the Huaxia Directors Association attended, including Han Sanpin, a deputy director of Optoelectronics, and a deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture.

After media reporters saw such a lineup, they were amazed and talked a lot.

"Today's battle is a little different!"

"Han Sanpin is here. Guoshi, Chen Hao, Teng Wenji, and Wu Yigong are all here. This is the directors association's collective mobilization."

"Not only that, but if you see those two, it means that the second-in-commands from the Ministry of Optoelectronics and the Ministry of Culture are here."

"It seems that something really big happened today."

"The style of Haotian's movies is really nothing but a blockbuster!"

……

"Thank you for taking the time to attend today's press conference." Chen Hao said as the host, "Today's press conference has only one theme, and that is the Golden Crown Awards ceremony.

First of all, we would like to invite our leaders to speak, everyone is welcome. "

"Thank you, thank you!" A certain deputy minister said, "The Golden Crown Award is a film awards ceremony led by the Ministry of Culture and co-hosted by the General Administration of Optoelectronics, China Directors Association, Huaying, and Haotian Films..."

……

"Next, I would like to invite our President Wu to introduce the specific rules and procedures of the Golden Crown Award to you." Chen Hao said.

“金冠奖将于次年的2月28日举行，参赛电影主要为每年1月1日-12月31日在华夏上映的国产影片……”吴贻弓道。

"The first Golden Crown Awards will be held on February 2012, 2. I am honored to be the chairman of the jury for the first Golden Crown Awards." Guo Shi said, "Our judges will be composed of 28 members from the Directors Association. The director consists of..."

"The trophy of the Golden Crown Award will be made of pure gold. Each trophy weighs 1 catty, which is 500 grams. According to the market price, it is 17 yuan. The reason why it is made of pure gold has the same meaning as a gold medal. It will be recognized as the number one of the year!"

……

After hearing the introduction of the Golden Crown Award, the media reporters were momentarily stunned.

No information has been revealed before, and judging by this posture, I am afraid that the scale and influence will not be small.

After all, the Ministry of Culture, Optoelectronics, and Huaying are all sponsors, and Haotian Films, which has a big business, is also included.

Look at the chairman of the jury, Guoshi, and Chen Hao are also members of the jury, but the signs of these two super directors are loud enough.

The reporters also became more and more excited as they listened. When the speech was over, they all raised their hands to ask questions.

"National Teacher, Huaxia has three gold medals, and the mainland has three major awards. Why do you want to hold this Golden Crown Award?"

The national teacher laughed and said, "The predecessor of the Golden Crown Award was the annual award of the China Directors Association, and the reason why we want to change it to the Golden Crown Award and so mobilize the crowd is mainly to give mainland domestic films more exposure opportunities.

The focus is to reward filmmakers who have made contributions to domestic films, so that they can get the honor they deserve, and at the same time encourage new filmmakers to bring the old to the new and jointly promote the progress of Chinese films. "

"Director Chen, is there anything unique about the Golden Crown Award that differentiates it from other film awards?"

Chen Hao said, "It should be more professional, all of our judges are members of the Huaxia Directors Association, and not only include directors of the older generation, but also directors of the Mesozoic and new generations.

We will evaluate a movie from the director's perspective, which will undoubtedly be more professional. "

"Director Chen, is the trophy of the Golden Crown Award really pure gold?"

"Hahaha, everyone, especially the award winners, can rest assured that I guarantee that it is 24K pure gold. We have reached a cooperation agreement with a famous gold shop, and they will prepare and order a unique golden crown trophy for the ceremony. The absolute value is not worth it. Fei." Chen Hao said.

"Director Chen, as one of the organizers, Haotian Films is also one of the sponsors? Will this make the jury have some special tendencies in the selection process?"

Chen Hao glanced at the reporter when he heard the words, and then laughed, "Haotian Films is indeed one of the sponsors, but that's because everything was difficult at the beginning, and if we want to hold a successful awards ceremony, we must need sufficient financial support.

Then I, the richest person in the Film Association, was pulled out and slaughtered. As for the judging committee showing favoritism to Haotian Films during the award selection, this is too much to worry about.

After all, we have as many as 78 judges, and it is not a small project to buy them off. Moreover, everyone has their own professional ethics and will not allow such a thing to happen.

Of course, you may not believe me when I say this, and the association also took this into consideration, so it took two preventive measures.

First, the number of judges will gradually increase every year. In the future, we will recruit all members of the Actors Association, Screenwriters Association, Producers Association, and Photography Association into the jury.

Follow the example of the Oscars, let the entire jury number reach hundreds, or even thousands, so that even if you want to cheat, you will have no way to start.

The second is that as the influence of the Golden Crown Awards grows and sponsorship and funding are no longer a problem, Haotian Films will withdraw from the ranks of sponsors as soon as possible, so as not to lose its reputation. "

……

"Co-hosted by Haotian Films, Directors Guild, Optoelectronics, and the Ministry of Culture, the Golden Crown Award is launched!" - Sohu Entertainment Report
"The China Directors Association launched a more professional film award ceremony --- Golden Crown Award!" --- Weibo

"The rich and powerful Golden Crown Award, the trophy will be made of 24K pure gold, and a trophy is worth 17 RMB!" --- New Wolf Entertainment
……

The official announcement of the Golden Crown Award caused an uproar in the industry in an instant, and the strong alliance of several organizers made the Golden Crown Award have to be taken seriously.

Coupled with the influence of the two super directors Guo Shi and Director Chen, the Golden Crown Award will undoubtedly become one of the focuses of the film industry.

Coupled with a pure gold trophy worth 17, it is even more attractive.

If you can get a trophy and sell it, it is even enough to make a low-cost movie.

While others were talking about it, Hua Yi was in shock.

"What is Chen Hao trying to do?" The king frowned after seeing the news.

Xiao Wang also frowned and said, "Could it be that Chen Hao is an artist who wants to praise himself by manipulating the awards ceremony?"

The king heard the words and said, "It shouldn't be so, judging by Chen Hao's behavior, it doesn't seem like he would do such a thing."

"That's not necessarily true, knowing people and faces but not heart." Xiao Wang pouted.

Feng Dapao also shook his head, "That boy Chen Hao shouldn't be like this, he cherishes his feathers very much, and he won't do such things that easily cause trouble."

After all, the person who knows you best is often your enemy.

"Then why?" Xiao Wang said, "Haotian Films is already the film company with the highest market capitalization, and its performance is also the number one in the industry. Could it be that Chen Hao is not satisfied and wants to control the entire film industry through the awards ceremony?"

"That also requires him to have that much ability." The king shook his head upon hearing this.

"Holding an awards ceremony can't control the film industry, and since he said that Haotian Films will withdraw, he will definitely." Feng Dapao said, "Could it be to compete for the chairman of the Directors Association? Wu Yigong will retire in two years. down."

"What's there to argue about for the president of the Directors' Association?" Xiao Wang said disdainfully, "With Chen Hao's current fame and wealth, does he still care about the president of the Directors' Association?"

Feng Dapao nodded when he heard the words, what he said made sense.

Xiao Wang suddenly smiled and said, "Speaking of Chen Hao's trick, should we also learn from it? We can also hold an award ceremony, or sponsorship, and then praise our own artists.

This will not only increase the wealth of our own artists, but also attract other first-line stars to join us. After all, everyone wants fame and wealth, and if we can give them both benefits and fame, then the attraction will be extraordinary.

Chen Hao didn't think so, did he? "

The king raised his brows when he heard this, "Maybe, but what you said makes sense. It's not impossible to sponsor an award ceremony. Maybe you can try it."

"Why don't you sponsor all the awards ceremonies, and then give me the best director, hahaha..." Feng Dapao said, "By the way, don't forget to nominate that kid Chen Hao, preferably both. Nominated, hahaha..."

"Hahaha...then Chen Hao's face is green." Xiao Wang laughed.

The king also smiled and shook his head when he heard the words.
