China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 378: Lunar New Year Festival packed with blockbusters

After the nominations for the Hundred Flowers Awards were announced, the news that #罗元shortlisted for the Hundred Flowers Best Actor# routinely topped the trending searches.

Again.

Water comes back to water, and being nominated or winning an award is better than nothing.

At the beginning of the year, "Source Code" was nominated for the America Golden Globe Award for "Best Drama" and "Best Screenplay".

Although it ended up with two nominations and zero nominations, at the 82nd Oscars, "Source Code" also received a nomination-[Best Original Screenplay].

However, at the beginning of March, Lu Yuan was busy promoting his new album, so how could he have time to attend the Golden Globes and Oscars?

Unless he can be nominated for [Best Actor], in which case he may take a leave and participate in the Oscars.

of course.

Just think about it, science fiction films like "Source Code" are not favored by Oscars.

Is "Avatar" awesome?

Nine mentions, two hits.

The only ones that won were "Best Cinematography" and "Best Visual Effects". Important awards like Best Director and Best Picture were not included in "Avatar" at all.

America is also politically correct.

This year's Oscar for Best Picture was awarded to "The Hurt Locker". This movie tells the story of American soldiers who defuse bombs on the battlefield in Iraq.

Approximately equal to the main theme of the American version.

By the way, the director of "The Hurt Locker" is Cameron's ex-wife.

Ex-wife VS ex.

The ex-wife wins!

Regarding the nomination for the Hundred Flowers Award, Lu Yuan didn't know about it at this time. He was discussing with Han Sanping about the filming of "Now You See Me".

This year’s Lunar New Year festival is also a melee of blockbusters.

As of now, there are more than 50 films scheduled for the Lunar New Year.

"Laughing in the Rivers and Lakes" - Uncle Benshan and Master Xiao Shen Yang co-starred.

"The Orphan of Zhao" - directed by Chen Kaige, starring Uncle Ge, Wang Xueqi, Fan Binbin and Huang Xiaomin.

"Let the Bullets Fly" - Jiang Wen directed and acted, co-starring Zhou Runfa and Uncle Ge.

"If You Are the One 2" - directed by Feng Pengtong, starring Uncle Ge + Shu Qi + Sun Honglei + Yao Chen.

One thing to say is that Uncle Ge is really busy. He has three movies released for the Lunar New Year, and they are all blockbusters.

In addition to the above-mentioned major directors, the science fiction film "Seven Dreams" directed by Ning Hao will also be released during the Lunar New Year this year.

Starring Huang Bo + Xu Zheng + Yu Nan, with guest appearances by Wang Baoqiang + Qiao Zhenyu + Tan Songyun.

Over in Xiangjiang, "New Shaolin Temple", which brings together three generations of Liu Dehua, Cheng Long and Xie Tingfeng, is also targeting the Lunar New Year period.

Finally, there is a movie version of "Love to the End".

During the Lunar New Year this year, Star Media also has three movies released.

There are two films that have confirmed their schedules, one is "Love Is Not Blind" which will be released on November 11th.

Like "Those Years", this movie is a low-budget movie, with a shooting cost of less than 800 million. Including publicity and distribution costs, the total cost is million.

Excluding advertising placement, the actual investment was only over 12 million yuan.

At present, the filming of this movie has been completed, and the heroine is none other than Da Mimi, the first sister of Xingchen Media.

After filming "Now You See Me", Damimi seamlessly joined the cast of "Love Is Not Blind".

Don't blame Boss Lu for squeezing artists. Looking for Damimi now and looking for her salary next year are completely different things.

The male protagonist is not an artist from Star Media, but Deng Chao, who seems to be very close to the Huayi brothers.

The dispute between Huayi Brothers has basically been settled. If nothing unexpected happens, Deng Chao will leave Huayi Brothers when the contract expires.

After leaving Huayi, Deng Chao did not plan to sign a contract with a new company, but followed the trend and established a personal studio. However, working alone is definitely not as good as relying on a big company, so he plans to imitate Zeng Li's personal studio and affiliate it to Xingchen Media.

This matter was brought up by Deng Chao on his own initiative.

After all, he had the confidence to pursue a solo career thanks to the hit variety show "Running Man".

In addition to Deng Chao and Yang Mi, the cast of "Love Is Not Blind" also includes the protagonists of "Sword and Sword 33", with guest appearances by Hu Ge, Liu Shishi, and Tang Yan.

Star Media's Wang Qianyuan, Qiao Zhenyu, Lin Gengxin, Zhao Liying, Chen Xiao, and Tan Songyun also appeared one after another.

A true all-star cast.

Another film that has been confirmed for release is "On the Road", which is tentatively scheduled to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which is February 2011, 2.

Starring Xu Zheng + Wang Baoqiang + Damimi + Tao Hong.

If you include the upcoming "Now You See Me", Damimi also enjoyed the treatment of Uncle Ge.

Three movies have been released in the Lunar New Year festival, and they can be called model workers in the Lunar New Year festival.

However, "Unfortunate Journey" and "33 Days After Love" are both low-budget movies, and only "Now You See Me" can be considered a blockbuster.

In fact, Han Sanping has been urging Lu Yuan to set the schedule as soon as possible.

Because "The Orphan of Zhao" and "If You Are the One 2" are waiting for "Now You See Me" to be finalized, the investor of the former is Star America Group.

Star America and China Film Group have cooperation in theaters, and the relationship between the two parties is good.

As for Huayi, the investor in "If You Are the One 2", they have a business relationship with Boss Lu and don't want to fight against their own family.

of course.

This is an obvious statement. In fact, they are worried about running into "Now You See Me".

No one wants to hit a blockbuster with an investment of 4 million.

However, Lu Yuan did not have the final say on the schedule of "The Thieves" alone. North America also needed to coordinate the schedule.

The three parties negotiated together for more than a month and finally finalized the schedule.

Released in early December.

This time point was chosen mainly to avoid the release of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" in mid-to-late November.

After determining the general time, the domestic side immediately started to arrange the specific date.

Finally, the release date was set for December 12st.

soon.

Relevant film producers have received news that "Now You See Me" has been finalized.

"The Orphan of Zhao" quickly adjusted its schedule, overturning the original plan and is scheduled to be released on December 12. "If You Are the One 12" was announced to be released on January 2.

"Let the Bullets Fly" has not adjusted its schedule and will still be released on December 12 as originally planned.

Among the Lunar New Year blockbusters, Benshan Media, which was lagging behind in news, finally learned that "The Thieves" is scheduled to be released on December 12st.

After learning about this, Mr. Benshan started to rely on connections and subsequently revised the schedule. "Laughing in the River" was adjusted to November 11th.

As soon as Lu Yuan came out, the heroes retreated!

The power of the King of Heaven is so terrifying.

However, even so, the Lunar New Year festival in December is also very bloody.

Three movies, "Now You See Me", "The Orphan of Zhao" and "Let the Bullets Fly", are competing head-on at the same time.

After seeing these three movies, it is almost certain that the other movies left in December, such as "Heartbeat at Midnight" (Ren Yam, Wu Zhenyu, Li Lian), "The Boy Here" (adaptation of Jiangnan novel), etc., will all be reduced to cannon fodder. .

Not every film producer is eligible to pick a schedule.

With the announcement of "The Thieves", the film and television industry is filled with grief.
