This star’s style is wrong

At the beginning of the National Day season, Maoyan APP predicted that the total box office of "The Law of the Hunt" would be 3.8 billion. However, as the box office plummeted, the predicted box office continued to decline.

From 3.8 billion at the beginning, it dropped to 3.2 billion, and then to 3 billion.

In the end, it couldn't even hold on to 3 billion, and dropped directly to 2.8 billion.

The situation for "Infernal Affairs" is exactly the opposite. At the beginning, Maoyan APP predicted a total box office of 2.4 billion.

This data does not come out of thin air, but is calculated based on investment, starring lineup, and the director's past box office.

Fang Xing's last movie "Crazy Stone" had a box office of 2.4 billion.

This time, the Maoyan APP initially gave a box office forecast of 2.4 billion.

The predicted box office of 2.4 billion is actually very high.

Even the most famous director in the film industry would not be dissatisfied with this number.

Although there are several movies every year that can exceed the box office of 2.4 billion, it is something that is rare.

Even for big directors, their initial psychological expectations are not that high. They would be satisfied with 2.4 billion.

Therefore, many people in the industry believe that as long as "Infernal Affairs" can reach a box office of 2.4 billion, it doesn't even need 2.4 billion. If it can reach 2 billion, the other party will wake up and say it is a huge success.

Even if the box office can reach 1 billion, it will be enough to recover the cost and make a considerable profit.

However, "Infernal Affairs" still taught people in the film industry a hard lesson.

It was initially predicted that the box office would be 2.4 billion, and then it continued to rise.

In the end, the predicted box office on the Maoyan APP reached 3.2 billion.

By late October, only a few million, or even hundreds of thousands, of movies released during the National Day holiday were left at the box office, and they were about to be released.

And this time.

The box office of "Infernal Affairs" is still very good. As the word-of-mouth gets better and better, the word-of-mouth has a long-tail effect. 25 days after its release, the single-day box office on the weekend is still 30 million.

Immediately afterwards, "Infernal Affairs" was postponed, and its release date was postponed by one month.

After the news came out, the predicted box office on the Maoyan APP suddenly changed from 3.2 billion to 3.5 billion.

However, the potential of "Infernal Affairs" is still underestimated.

Before the end of November, "Infernal Affairs" finally won a box office of 3.6 billion.

Unless a group of box office dark horses emerge in December, this year's box office championship will fall to Fang Xing.

Because as of November, among the movies released this year, the highest box office is the special effects blockbuster "Monster Hunter" during the Spring Festival, with a box office of 3.5 billion, which is stuck on a very subtle number.

If "Infernal Affairs" had not been postponed, the final box office would have been between 3.2 billion and 3.3 billion. After being postponed, it relied on high ratings to form a long-tail effect. Within a month of the delay, it had won more than 300 million in box office. , the final box office reached 3.6 billion, becoming the highest-grossing movie released this year.

There is only December next, and there are no special movie schedules in December.

Popular movies are squeezed into three schedules: Spring Festival, Summer, and National Day. At worst, they will be arranged in the May Day schedule.

A movie scheduled to be released in December will definitely not be a popular movie.

If it were released in December, a movie with a box office of more than 3.6 billion would not be a problem if it was placed during the Spring Festival.

Therefore, there is no way such a thing could happen.

As expected.

After December ended, industry insiders were stunned that "Infernal Affairs" topped the annual box office championship without any suspense.

Originally, according to the predictions of Maoyan APP, "The Law of the Hunt" was the movie that surpassed "The Monster Hunter" and won the annual box office championship.

However, the result was beyond everyone's expectation.

"Infernal Affairs" is the movie that subverted the film market, bucked the trend and won the box office championship this year.

Fang Xing's name was once again pushed to the forefront.

Last year.

"Crazy Stone" won the summer box office championship. At that time, Fang Xing's name was already widely circulated in the film industry.

However, at that time, Fang Xing was only the director, not the lead actor.

For the audience, it is easiest to remember the actors whose faces they can see. As for who the director is, they don’t care that much.

If it is a well-known director who has made many excellent movies, the audience may still remember the name.

However, last year Fang Xing was just a new director in the film industry.

Therefore, last year, the audience didn't pay much attention to Fang Xing's name.

This year is completely different.

"Chen Yongren" is the first male lead in "Infernal Affairs" played by Fang Xing.

Liu Han translated and played the second male lead "Liu Jianming".

The two people's rivalry scenes have been edited into various versions of videos by various entertainment UP hosts, and are posted everywhere on short video platforms.

At the celebration party for "Infernal Affairs" box office exceeding 3 billion.

When Fang Xing was being interviewed by a reporter, a question from the reporter accidentally became a hot search topic again.

Reporter: "Fang Xing, did you take Qianqian to the cinema to watch "Infernal Affairs"?"

Fang Xing shook his head directly: "No."

Reporter: "Why?"

Fang Xing: "Because 'Chen Yongren' died in the end, Qianqian still can't tell the difference between the father in reality and the role in the TV series, so until she can understand, I will try to prevent her from seeing similar scenes."

Reporter: "Did you and your wife go to see it?"

Fang Xing nodded and replied, "That's true. Xiaoxiang and I went to the cinema to watch it."

Reporter: "Were there many viewers at that time?"

Fang Xing: "It's okay. It's the afternoon show. It's not full, but it's still half full."

Reporter: “Did you get recognized by the audience?”

Fang Xing: "Probably not. I was wearing a mask at the time, and no audience came up to me to ask for my autograph."

After this interview was posted online.

Some netizens began to use magnifying glasses to investigate when Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er went to see the movie.

Then, I was really found by netizens.

On October 3, during the 3 pm show at Times Cinema in Donghai Century Building, an audience member took a video, and happened to capture two people wearing masks in the back.

If you don't look carefully, it's actually difficult to tell who the two people in the video are, but now that you know the answer, you can tell them carefully and find that they are indeed very similar.

Moreover, some netizens found out that the clothes Fang Xing was wearing in the video were the same ones he wore during the interview not long ago, which is equivalent to a real beating.

So a new hot search appeared on Weibo:

[Fang Xing and his wife went to the theater to watch a movie secretly without their daughter. 】

Under this topic, all netizens are making fun of or defending Qian Qian:

[Qianqian: Why don’t you take me with you? Mom and dad are bad. 】

[Fang Xing: Why should I bring you a small light bulb? 】

[Outrageous, Fang Xing actually left his three-year-old daughter at home and ignored him! (dog head.jpg)]

Originally, netizens were joking about this topic.

However, the forest on the Internet is so big that sometimes some weird birds will pop up and start to criticize Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er for leaving their daughter at home alone, thinking that they are not worthy of being parents.

[A three-year-old child dares to be left alone at home? Can anyone really be a parent now? 】

[What's going on upstairs? No dog head, are you serious? 】

[Click on her profile to see what the ingredients are. Maybe she really thinks so. 】

[It makes it seem like Qianqian really doesn’t take care of her at home. 】

[That’s it. I often leave my son at home with my mother, and then take my wife out to hang out. Am I going to be criticized too? 】

[Yes, the child will be sent to the orphanage directly. 】

Although some very outrageous comments have appeared, most netizens' IQs are still online.

Therefore, these weird remarks will eventually be treated as the butt of jokes and posted on the front page.

…

Time has entered December, and the nomination time for the 43rd Golden Bottle Awards has begun.

The nomination list for the Golden Bottle Awards has arrived as promised, and the list of nominated films participating in the selection has been announced.

As predicted by most film critics, "Infernal Affairs" indeed occupied a large space in the nomination list.

In addition, films such as "The Law of the Hunt" and "Monster Hunter" were also nominated.

After the nomination list of the Golden Bottle Award was announced, it quickly became a hot search topic.

This time of year is the time for the Golden Bottle Awards, and nominated directors, actors, and movies will frequently appear on the hot search lists of major online platforms.

The Golden Palm Awards is one of the three major film award ceremonies in China. It has a very long history and is an award ceremony that combines business and art.

The Golden Plate Award was held once a year for a while, but was later changed to once every two years.

The Golden Bottle Awards Ceremony to be held next year will already be the 43rd.

Liu Hanyi won the Golden Bottle Award for Best Actor and was awarded the title of Best Actor.

Unfortunately.

This time, Liu Hanyi was nominated for the Golden Palm Award for Best Actor for his role as "Liu Jianming" in "Infernal Affairs".

The popularity of this Golden Bottle Award is unprecedentedly high.

Because there is big news in this year's list of nominees for Best Actor.

As soon as the nomination list was announced, major entertainment media began to rush to report:

[At the 43rd Golden Plate Awards, "Infernal Affairs" was nominated for two leading actors at the same time. 】

[Is the Golden Bottle Award going to have double yolk eggs? Will "Infernal Affairs" make history? 】

[For the same movie, two actors were nominated for Best Actor at the same time, which is very rare in the history of the Golden Palm Awards. 】

After this topic came out, it quickly topped the list of hot searches on major online platforms.

Because it is really rare for two actors in the same movie to be nominated for Best Actor at the same time.

usually.

In a movie, there is only one male protagonist, and the roles played by other male actors should be regarded as supporting actors.

However, "Infernal Affairs" is a little different.

Regardless of the number of scenes or the arrangement of the plot, this is the story of two undercover agents investigating each other.

Both characters can be said to be male protagonists in their scenes.

The three major film award ceremonies do not stipulate that a film can only have one leading actor.

As long as the conditions are met, you can be the leading actor.

In "Infernal Affairs", the two characters "Chen Yongren" and "Liu Jianming" both meet the requirements of the male protagonist.

However, in the movie, according to the roles, "Chen Yongren" is the first male lead and "Liu Jianming" is the second male lead.

This means that both characters are eligible to be nominated for the Best Actor Award.

Therefore, in the nomination list of the 43rd Golden Palm Awards, there is no problem with two Best Actor nominations in one movie.

Moreover, this double-yolked egg nomination made this year's Golden Bottle Awards more popular than ever before, occupying the front page of the entertainment section.

Netizens and viewers are very interested in participating in the discussion on this topic:

[There was actually a double yolk nomination, and one movie was nominated for two Best Actors. What will happen to other movies? 】

[The other two nominated actors: Using more to fight less, are you polite? 】

[Although when I watched the movie, I thought "Infernal Affairs" was quite good, but I don't have a high level of film appreciation, so I couldn't see how well the two acted. Now that both of them have been nominated, it looks really good. sharp? 】

[Ordinary viewers can’t see how awesome it is, so why can’t professional film critics see it? As long as they are professional film critics, they all have high evaluations of "Infernal Affairs" and basically say that it will definitely win an award. Now it seems that professionals are indeed professionals. 】

[Don’t just look at Best Actor, look at Best Supporting Actor. It feels like Liang Youhua’s trophy is already secured. 】

For this Golden Cup Award, Fang Xing and Liu Hanyi were nominated for the Best Actor Award at the same time.

In addition, Liang Youhua was also nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award, and his performance in "Infernal Affairs" is no worse than that of Fang Xing and Liu Han, so he has a high chance of winning the award.

[In other words, Liang Youhua has less roles. If the Golden Bottle Awards recognize Liang Youhua as the leading actor, I feel that three best actor nominations will be possible. 】

[Nominating three Best Actor nominations is a bit excessive, I have to exclude one of them no matter what. Then I can only feel sorry for King Liu Tian. 】

[If you want to kick someone down, you must kick him to wake up. 】

The discussion on this hypothetical topic is quite heated.

Most netizens feel that Liang Youhua is indeed capable of winning awards based on his performance in "Infernal Affairs".

However, Liang Youhua does have a supporting role in "Infernal Affairs".

So there is no possibility of being nominated for Best Actor.

[It seems like Liang Youhua hasn’t won the Best Supporting Actor yet, right? 】

[It’s true that I haven’t won one. After all, he is a king. He became famous early. He has already won three Best Actor trophies, and his supporting roles are few. Just this time, I played a supporting role in Fang Xing's movie. Unexpectedly, he won the Best Supporting Actor directly. 】

[Hey, hey, hey...it's just a nomination now, Liang Youhua hasn't accepted the award yet. 】

[The other three nominees: Are you polite to open the champagne at halftime? 】

[Don’t tell me, Liang Youhua may not win the Best Supporting Actor award this time, because there is another king in the nomination, Li Xuecheng. 】

In "The Law of Hunting Crime", Li Xuecheng played a supporting actor because of his relationship with Ke Zhensheng. Otherwise, with his reputation as a king, he would not need to play a supporting role.

Li Xuecheng won his first Best Actor trophy with Ke Zhensheng's movie, which is not a small favor.

Now Ke Zhensheng is launching a new police and gangster movie series, and Li Xuecheng is willing to star in it just to repay the favor.

In a sense, Li Xuecheng carried the sedan chair for Jia Haochen.

However, what people didn't expect is that except for Jia Haochen's fans, most of the viewers watching "The Law of Hunting Crime" actually came for Li Xuecheng.

"The Law of Hunting" mainly relies on Li Xuecheng to carry the box office.

Now Li Xuecheng has also been nominated for Best Supporting Actor, which can be considered as a reward for his efforts.

However, Li Xuecheng and Liang Youhua are both movie kings and have been nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Golden Palm Awards. It is indeed difficult to predict who will win the award in the end. (End of chapter)
