Perfect Life

In the summer of 1999, the "Legend of the New White Lady" produced by Minghu Culture hit the air in one fell swoop, representing the victory of Minghu Culture in film and television works. ????

At the end of that year, that is, in the annual awards selection in 1999, "The Legend of the New White Snake" gained a lot.

In 2ooo, Minghu Culture produced the movie "On the Road", which did not achieve much at the box office and awards. Although the TV series "Meteor Garden" was a hit, it also won nothing in the awards at the end of the year.

But this year, Minghu Culture first released the movie "My Sassy Girl", which has a box office of more than 150 million and has a good reputation, and then launched the phenomenal drama "Princess Pearl", which caused a sensation in the whole of China. Therefore, Inside and outside the industry, there are expectations for Minghu Culture to receive awards at the end of this year.

On December 28, 2oo1, the National Film and TV Drama Great Wall Awards took the lead in announcing the nomination list, and "My Sassy Girl" and "Princess Huanzhu" both received a lot of nominations.

In particular, the best newcomer, the best newcomer for men and women in the film category, Zhou Zhiyu and He Yingyu, the best newcomer for men and women in the TV series, Liu Yan, Zhao Qing and Xu Mengshan, the Minghu Culture family, got five nominations.

Bai Yujing and Zhao Mingqi were also shortlisted for Best Supporting Actress in TV Dramas, Kang Xiaolou was shortlisted for Best Supporting Actor in TV Dramas, Liu Yan was shortlisted for Best Actress in TV Dramas, and He Yingyu and Zhou Zhiyu continued to join hands in being nominated for Best Actor and Actress in Films.

In addition, although only a few scenes appeared in "My Sassy Girlfriend", and they were only added at the time of registration, Feng Shaocheng's role as the hotel owner was also shortlisted for the best supporting actor in the film category. !

In terms of performance awards, at least from the point of view of nominations, they have gained a lot, but strong women and weak men are still an old problem in Minghu Culture. It also doesn't seem easy to improve the situation in the foreseeable future.

In non-performance awards, Li Qian was nominated for two best directors and two best screenwriters in the film and TV series, and then for the best film and best TV series.

An absolute bounty!

As a pure commercial production, whether it is "My Sassy Girl" or "Princess Huanzhu", Li Qian is already very satisfied to have reached this point.

For example, Yang Jie unexpectedly won the nomination for Best Cinematography in the TV Drama category, which is purely a surprise - firstly, for TV dramas, Best Cinematography is a bit tasteless, and secondly, it is probably just a nomination!

On January 1, 2oo2, New Year's Day, the National TV Drama Feitian Award announced the nomination list.

"Princess Huanzhu" has a great harvest again.

Best Drama Li Qian, Best Director Li Qian, Best Screenplay Li Qian, Best Actress Liu Yan, Best Supporting Actress Zhao Mingqi and Bai Yujing, Best Newcomer Liu Yan, Best TV Song Li Qian , Best TV series soundtrack Li Qian and He Wei - Li Qian and He Wei's best soundtrack is one, so together, "Hanzhu Princess" won a total of nine nominations, leading the entire Feitian Award.

On January 3, 2oo2, the National Film Huabiao Awards announced the nomination list.

"My Sassy Girl"... a little pitiful, but the overall situation is still expected.

Zhou Zhiyu's Best Actor, He Yingyu's Best Actress, and the two nominees for Best Newcomer, Li Qian's Best Theme Song and Best Soundtrack, and a Best Supporting Actor for Feng Shaocheng who continues to surprise— - With the role of less than three minutes of footage, Feng Shaocheng has won two nominations, too!

Of course, this is not unrelated to the fact that the current domestic awards basically do not have any rigid requirements and regulations for the appearance time and the length of departure of supporting actors, and it has a lot to do with Feng Shaocheng, who has always been the type of actor that the academy likes - many Film critics, professors from Shuntian Film Academy and Huaxia Academy of Drama, etc. are all fans of his drama, and many bigwigs in the industry who have the right to speak highly respect his performance.

And then, um, that's all, as a commercial film, it's already flattering to receive up to seven nominations at the Huabiao Awards, which has always been a favorite of art films!

Although these two nominations in the music category are definitely not unrelated to Li Qian's rising popularity in the music circle, and the several performance category nominations that Zhou Zhiyu and He Yingyu got are probably due to their popularity issues—— Again, no matter how good the Huabiao Awards are, the ratings still have to be taken into account.

Then, this is just a nomination. The specific award ceremony, these three awards, have to be rushed to the middle and late January. Among them, the Great Wall Award is the earliest on January 18, and the Feitian Award is the second on January 25. The Huabiao Award has the highest quality and the most solemn ceremony, which is on January 31st.

Therefore, even in previous years, with the announcement of the nominations for the 6th consecutive year, the entire domestic media will warm up for the next awards.

The announcement of the nominations for the three awards in the domestic film and television category was naturally a major event, but this year, they were obviously dominated by the crowd. On January 5, nationwide, the price of movie tickets was officially raised!

At the meeting, it was very clear that the price should be raised by 50%. It is said that many third- and fourth-tier cities and some weak theaters whose prices were originally relatively low, their starting price should be 22.5 yuan, but the price increase opportunity was finally expected. , Obviously no one wants to let it go, so within the stipulated range of a maximum of 30 yuan for a ticket and a minimum of 22.5 yuan for a ticket, everyone started to cheer!

According to the final statistics and announcements given by the Film Industry Association, the final pricing reported by major theater operators and ordinary theaters, even the theaters in the most backward places are directly given 25 yuan per ticket!

Of the 9,000 pieces of canvas across the country, the final price of the canvas is less than 25 yuan, which is less than 4%! And the canvas higher than 28 yuan is as high as 31.5%!

When the discussion ended and the results were announced, the media all over the country, as well as netizens on the Internet, had already started a big discussion and a big criticism. When the statistics of the Film Industry Association were released on January 7, it was even more The whole country is screaming!

At the same time, many people have launched a call on the Internet, calling on everyone to unify their steps, resolutely do not enter the cinema, do not buy tickets, and boycott such high-priced movie tickets.

On January 5th, the first day of the price increase of movie tickets, the attendance rate of movie theaters in major theaters across the country dropped by 17% compared with the same period last year! As soon as the data of the Film Industry Association was released, people began to call for it on the Internet. In the next few days, the attendance rate of major theaters continued to decline, and once fell to only 65%-7o% of the same period last year. Attendance!

It can be said that the pain of raising the price of movie tickets is really a bit painful.

However, Zhao Meicheng, who was treated as a swordsman at this stall, may not be about to cry without tears.

"My Name is Auspicious" will be released on Tuesday, December 29th. First, it is in time for the New Year's Day holiday, which is a good time for the box office to explode. Second, as the movie ticket price increase day is coming, many people who know the news may choose to mention it. I went to watch the movie I wanted to watch, so I was stimulated by this double factor, coupled with Zhao Meicheng's reputation as the king of the New Year stalls accumulated over the years, and the good quality of "My Name is Auspicious", this movie made this movie Immediately after the release, it exploded!

From December 29th to January 3rd, it was released for six days a week, and "My Name is Auspicious" actually scored an astonishing box office of 102.64 million in one fell swoop - an expected but unexpected box office record, so caught off guard, Before the opening of the movie ticket price increase day, it was suddenly broken by Zhao Meicheng!

Weekly box office 100 million!

One hundred million in six days!

Zhao Meicheng simply looks down on the world!

Before that, in the history of domestic movie box office, there was only one movie that could get a box office of 100 million yuan in its first week of release, and that was James Cameron's "Titanic". That movie first exploded in the United States, and then it was released in China with the double blessing of Li Qian and Liao Liao. Zhou directly detonated the national box office, and directly achieved a weekly box office of 16.3o7 million!

And in the second week of its release, this movie that has directly watched countless Chinese fans, shocked and moved countless Chinese fans, continued to explode, and won 110,840,000 single-week box office in one fell swoop!

It was such a two-week explosion that laid the foundation for the film to finally get 620 million box office (about 310 million US dollars) from China!

Therefore, the domestic film market has shown the highest box office in a single week, and it is it! Weekly No. 1 at the box office is it! The box office exceeded 100 million in a single week, twice, it was it!

Now, although the ticket price is about to be raised, it can be predicted inside and outside the industry. I am afraid that whether it is domestic movies or imported Hollywood blockbusters, movies with a single week box office exceeding 100 million will gradually increase in the future, at least one year. There should be three or five films - if calculated according to the new ticket price, the weekly 71.31 million of "Sword Immortal" and the weekly 66.48 million of "Assassin Qin" are all qualified to hit the one-hundred-million-dollar mark!

Therefore, the industry has no doubts about whether Zhao Meicheng's "My Name is Auspicious" can achieve a single-week box office of over 100 million in the second week of its release, that is, from January 4th to January 10th~www.wuxiaspot.com~ expected.

After all, on January 5, the national price increase was officially launched!

If his film is not good, the next time will be to watch Li Qian's "Once Upon a Time" in April - what's more, it may be in May or June, and the specific time will depend on Qin Wei and Guo. The specific files of Yulong He Yingyu's "The Gate of Life and Death" and Zheng Yuan's "Plan B".

But who would have expected that "My Name is Auspicious" actually broke this record beautifully before the price increase of movie tickets! At the same time, it also convincingly broke the box office record ceiling that has been pressing on the top of domestic movies in the past few years!

Before the price increase, the box office exceeded 100 million in a single week!

The third in history and the first one-week box office record in China!

It is also the first time in history that Chinese filmmakers finally see the hope of catching up with the astonishing box office of "Titanic"!

So, how could Zhao Meicheng cry?

With such a beautiful week, his worries about the box office and the impact of price hikes in the past were suddenly kicked out of the sky!

With 100 million yuan on a week, he can directly confer a god!

With this 100 million weekly box office record, plus the word-of-mouth reviews of this "My Name is Auspicious" in the film critic circle and netizens are quite good, even if it is still due to the price increase incident, it will have some impact on the attendance rate. , but it basically does not affect his "My Name is Auspicious"!

Instead of crying, he should laugh out loud!

This record needs to be broken by future filmmakers with 150 million weeks to be convincing, but now it seems that domestic films are still far from that record.

And even if it is finally broken one day, Zhao Meicheng has been remembered forever in the history of Chinese film exhibitions! 8
