The Crown Prince of Huayu!

Chapter 136: Grand occasion (please subscribe)

"'Interstellar' sparked a movie-going craze, with box office exceeding 1.4 million in its first week!"

"The box office in a single day exceeded 50 million for the first time, setting a record!"

"It's hard to get a ticket! We queued up in the middle of the night and the movie tickets were sold out in half an hour!"

“All movie tickets in this month’s IMAX theater have been sold out!”

"Exorbitantly priced movie tickets are appearing everywhere! The highest single ticket price has reached 2500 yuan!"

“The IMAX theater turned into a money printing machine!”

……

As expected, "Interstellar" was a hit!

Since its release, the box office has increased instead of falling for two consecutive days.

By the third day, it had exceeded 50 million!

Before this movie, the highest-grossing movie in Japan, "The City of Gold", was just over 30 million.

The box office in the first three days reached 1.4 million, which undoubtedly set a first-week box office record.

Previously, there was only one movie, "The City of Gold", which had a box office of over 100 million in its first week.

"The City of Gold" was released on Thursday, and the box office in its first week was only a little over 100 million.

Of the 140 million, the box office of the IMAX theater alone contributed more than 20 million!

With less than 0.1% of the screen count, it contributed more than 15% of the box office!
This does not include those movie tickets that have been pre-sold, otherwise this data will only be even more amazing!
According to Han Jiadong, theater chains that have built IMAX theaters have made a lot of money. The box office in just one or two days has recouped the entire cost of building an IMAX theater.

And those who didn't listen to Han Jiadong's words were already filled with regret.

Then some hurriedly started planning to build IMAX cinemas.

Some theater chains thought it was too late to build them now, and a movie of the caliber of "Interstellar" was definitely not available, so they simply put it away.

At the same time, the first Huading Awards, which has been in preparation for more than a year, will finally kick off at the Capital Grand Theater.

Just a month ago, Xu Qin arranged for the Golden Rooster Awards to go to a small third-tier city.

The deserted award ceremony finally convinced the Golden Rooster Awards to give Han Jiadong an award for his work.

Maybe it’s not that I’m giving in, but that there are really few works nowadays.

There were only a few films with Douban ratings above eight points throughout the year, such as "A Little Thing About First Love", "Assassination", "Xiu Chun Dao 2", "The Detective" and "The Messenger of Shambhala".

There are only three films that have exceeded 2 million at the box office: "A Little Thing About First Love", "Assassination" and "Xiu Chun Dao ".

It just so happens that three of them are works written by Han Jiadong.

In addition to these three movies, the only candidates for best picture are "The Messenger of Shambala" and "The Letter of Declaration", which have not yet been released.

It is simply impossible not to award Han Jiadong an award.

In the end, the best picture went to "Assassination", a well-received theme movie.

The best director went to Xu Jinglei, a new female director.

In a sense, it is also a denial of Han Jiadong's directing ability.

——You just have a good script, but if you give the script to others, you can still produce excellent works!

"Assassination", which won the best picture, also won the best screenplay award, which further weakened the addition of Han Jiadong's directing ability to the film.

The remaining best actress was won by Yan Bingyan, the heroine of "Love Teeth", who defeated Zhou Xun.

There are no outstanding actors this year. The hit movies "A Little Thing About First Love" and "Assassination" are all dramas with female protagonists. The male protagonist's role is not outstanding. The male protagonist Jay Chou in "Xiu Chun Dao 2" performed well, but But it is the acting skills in the entire film that have been questioned the most. Jet Li, the male protagonist of "The Legend" is not qualified to participate in the evaluation...

In the end, probably due to the pressure from above, the actor was given the role of Andy Lau in "The Movie".

As early as two years ago, the Golden Rooster Awards was revised to include Hong Kong and Taiwan films and stars in the award scope. The authorities actually intended to let Hong Kong stars win the award in order to improve relations between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and strengthen exchanges between the three places. Therefore, Carina Lau easily won last year's Best Actress award with her not-so-stellar performance in "Curiosity Killed the Cat."

As for the Best Actor Award, it has been delayed until now because mainland stars performed very well in the first two years and Hong Kong stars never showed convincing performances.

It just so happened that the performance of mainland male actors this year was not outstanding, so Liu Dehua was chosen as the tallest among the short ones to win this honor.

Andy Lau thus became the first Hong Kong star to win the Golden Rooster Best Actor.

Compared with the deserted Golden Rooster Awards, the first Huading Awards was an unprecedented event.

Almost all celebrities with some status in the entertainment industry came.

For those who didn’t come, it wasn’t that the Huading Award couldn’t afford it, but it was that they were simply not qualified to attend!
Even the celebrities in Xiangjiang, who have always set their sights on the top, have at least half of the people from the entertainment industry here.

Media reporters even surrounded the entire venue.

There are also various high-end luxury brands and magazines actively seeking cooperation and sponsorship.

Harper's Bazaar even deliberately postponed this year's charity gala to today and will be held at the venue after the awards ceremony.

Han Jiadong will also make his official debut this time!
Of course, there was no grand appearance, only a low-key appearance at the scene.

Even before the film festival began, Han Jiadong considered not participating in the awards for his own works.

Otherwise, if these people with the right to vote all vote for themselves and all the awards are awarded to their own works, it will not be a good story, but a joke.

But after careful consideration, he gave up.

Nowadays, there are too few domestic films that can be awarded in a year. Even if last year's works will be included in the awards this time, it is still not enough.

If you don't have your own movie, you won't even be able to produce a work that supports the scene.

Moreover, the film was made by the joint efforts of so many people on the crew, so you can’t deprive them of the award if you don’t care.

So Han Jiadong finally gave up his personal participation in the awards, such as best director and best screenwriter.

Best film and actor awards are all included in the review.

I believe that those who voted will understand what they mean after seeing their decision.

In the end, the best film was won by last year's "Assembly", which made up for the regret at last year's Golden Rooster Awards.

The best director award went to Yin Li of "The Ballad of Clouds and Waters".

As for Best Actor, Zhang Hanyu also defeated Fu Dalong and avenged his loss at the Golden Rooster Award.

The best actress was won by Zhou Xun in "Assassination".

In just two years after joining Huayi, this actress has won the Academy Award for Best Actress for "If Love", the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress for "If Love", the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress for "Assassination", and the Huabiao Award for Best Actress for "If Love". "Assassination", Huading Award-winning Best Actress "Assassination"...

She wants box office and awards, and her career has reached its peak. The domestic limelight has surpassed that of Zhang Ziyi, and she has the potential to be the first among Mesozoic actresses.

The rest, best screenwriter: Ou Jianer, Wei Jiahui's "Detective".

Best Supporting Actor: Andy Lau "The Disciple".

Best Supporting Actress: Fan Bingbing in "The Ghost in My Heart".

Best Newcomer Award: Tong Liya's "A Little Thing About First Love".

Best Art: Huo Tingxiao's "A City Full of Golden Armor".

Best Action Design: Yuan Heping, "Fearless".

……

After the award ceremony, a charity auction party hosted by Bazaar began.

Han Jiadong also sincerely donated a movie script as an auction item.
