Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Zhou Qing was also cheered up when he heard this and immediately checked it out.

A smile as bright as Leo's immediately appeared on his face.

A great harvest! "The Revenant" is another great harvest.

Just like in the original time and space, "The Revenant" received 87 nominations at the 12th Academy Awards.

These include heavyweight awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor.

Just like Zhou Qing’s previous film, “Life of Pi,” “The Revenant” has once again become a hot favorite for an Oscar.

No, to be exact, it is even more popular than "Life of Pi".

After all, "Life of Pi" does not have any acting awards such as Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor.

"Director Zhou, congratulations! The Revenant is once again leading the Oscars season! I knew you could do it!"

Little Li was so excited that his eyes were shining, and he kept yelling beside Zhou Qing.

The other main creators of "The Revenant", including Director Yang and others, also echoed the sentiment.

Everyone looked at Zhou Qing with eyes filled with nothing but worship.

Director Zhou is really awesome!

Just last year, he swept the Oscars with "Life of Pi", and this year he did it again with "The Revenant".

The Oscars are a mountain that is difficult for most people to conquer, and many people can only look up to them throughout their lives.

But when it came to Director Zhou, there seemed to be no threshold.

It's impossible to refuse to accept the fact that they can take it just by saying so.

“Leon, congratulations to you too, you have been nominated for the Best Actor award as you wished.”

Zhou Qing, in a good mood, also congratulated Leo in return.

Little Leo was immediately so proud of himself that his eyes narrowed into slits and he could hardly see anything.

"And Director Zhou and Leon, did you see that I was also nominated!"

"I can't believe I was nominated for an Oscar! Director Zhou, thank you so much!"

After confirming it several times, Teacher Tang shouted out in surprise and joy.

The smile on his face is as bright as Leo's.

This is an Oscar!
Teacher Tang never thought of this situation when he took on the role in "The Revenant".

Although Zhou Qing had already told Teacher Tang at the wrap party that he had a great chance of being nominated.

But when this moment really comes, how can Teacher Tang remain calm?
"Yes Tom, you're nominated too, congratulations."

Little Li reached out and patted Teacher Tang on the shoulder, "But more importantly, don't forget the bet between us."

"Leon, I hate you!"

Teacher Tang was stunned for a moment, then he began to seriously accuse Little Leo.

There was an immediate burst of joyful laughter at the scene.

"The 87th Academy Awards nomination list has been announced. Director Zhou Qing's "The Revenant" has 12 nominations and leads the awards season."

"With 12 nominations, following Life of Pi, director Zhou Qing once again conquered the Oscars with The Revenant."

"Zhou Qing's film The Revenant received a total of 87 nominations at the 12th Academy Awards, including Best Director and Best Picture!"

"Leonardo DiCaprio was nominated for Best Actor again for his performance in The Revenant directed by Zhou Qing."

The nomination list for the 87th Academy Awards was sent back to the Chinese entertainment industry as soon as possible, and the entire Chinese entertainment industry became excited again.

Everyone, one by one, was deeply inspired by the performance of "The Revenant".

Isn’t Director Zhou so awesome?
"Life of Pi" just won a great victory in its last Oscar bid, and now it happens again?
Even "The Revenant" has more nominations than "Life of Pi"!

It also received more heavyweight nominations than "Life of Pi"!
How come the Oscars, which made the entire Chinese entertainment industry helpless, were not difficult at all in Director Zhou's hands?
Director Zhou’s reputation as the best director in Chinese entertainment industry is truly well-deserved.

"Wow, Director Zhou is awesome, so awesome, he got so many nominations again."

"Who said it's hard to win an Oscar? Why is it that Director Zhou is just like this?"

"Director Zhou swept the Oscars again. How embarrassed are his peers?"

"Great God, Director Zhou is the only true God in my heart!"

Such voices of exclamation were heard everywhere in the circle; everyone was truly in awe of Zhou Qing.

It is extremely difficult for others to win an Oscar. In the entire history of Chinese entertainment, no one has ever done it except Director Zhou.

As a result, Director Zhou did it one after another!
Director Zhou, please at least give some face to other directors in your profession!

Admittedly, "The Revenant" is only nominated for now, and the final list of winners has not yet been announced.

But with 12 nominations leading the awards season, the probability of "The Revenant" winning an award is very, very high.

“How come The Revenant has so many nominations?”

Poet Chen felt that he could not hold it in any longer, absolutely could not hold it in any longer.

How Zhou Qing’s box office had broken records in the past, and how he had trampled on Chen Shishi’s films, even beating them.

Poet Chen could always stand up straight in front of Zhou Qing and feel full of confidence.

No matter how high your box office is, have you ever won the Palme d’Or?

The box office is only temporary, but the Palme d'Or is for life.

No matter how much box office you take, your box office will be surpassed by other movies one day, and your record will be broken by others.

So the box office is meaningless.

But the Palme d'Or is the only one in the entire Chinese entertainment industry that is held by poet Chen!
But now?
Poet Chen could no longer be tough.

It is true that he is the only person in Chinese entertainment who has won the Palme d'Or, but Zhou Qing is also the only person in Chinese entertainment who has won an Oscar.

Of course, even so, poet Chen can comfort himself that the little golden man is not as good as the d'or palm.

But in the blink of an eye, they are about to take down another one.

If one Golden Statue is not as good as the Palme d'Or, what about two Golden Statue?
No matter how proud and arrogant poet Chen is, he has to admit that this achievement is more dazzling than winning the Palme d'Or.

Because for China Entertainment, winning the Golden Globe is as difficult as winning the Palme d'Or.

Especially twice in a row.

"He's really going to heaven this time!"

Jiang Wen sighed like this, feeling quite melancholy in his heart.

You should know that the little golden man for "Life of Pi" has already made Zhou Qing a god, becoming the "No. 1 Director in Chinese Entertainment" above Zhang, Chen and Feng.

The existence of a unique file.

In this situation, if another little golden man comes, my goodness, how can this be tolerated?
I’m afraid that Chinese entertainment can’t accommodate such a great god?

People really want to go to heaven!

Then I thought about how much younger Zhou Qing was than me, but the achievements he had made were far beyond my reach.

Jiang Wen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

However, although Jiang Wen is arrogant, his arrogance is different from that of poet Chen.

Jiang Wen actually didn't really care about Oscars or anything like that.

That's just a local Hollywood award. Jiang Wen feels that he doesn't need the recognition of the Oscars.

But what made Jiang Wen particularly depressed was that "One Step Away" was beaten by the animated film produced by Zhou Qing.

There are only two days left in the release period of "One Step Away", but the total box office is only 5 million!

It is far from what Jiang Wen had hoped for. Not to mention surpassing "The Monkey King: Hero is Back", the total box office is not even half of "The Monkey King: Hero is Back"!
The situation is similar on Xu Ke's side.

The other film "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" will be shown a few more nights later than "One Step Away", and can still run in theaters for about six or seven days.

Its box office was much better than "One Step Away", earning more than 8 million yuan.

But the box office potential has basically been exhausted, and there is no possibility of breaking through 9 million.

In other words, the two top seeded players, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" and "One Step Away", were not able to beat "The Return of the Great Sage".

Even between each one, the gap is quite big!

The king of this year's Lunar New Year box office is none other than the animated film released by Zhou Qing Pictures.

I have to say, this is really surprising and really makes people feel upset.

"Director Zhou has shocked many people again."

La Peikang, who also received the news, laughed out loud while sitting in his office.

There was surprise, amazement, and indescribable admiration in the laughter.

Even though there is a lot of support in the industry for "The Revenant" to win an Oscar, and even though La Peikang also thinks this is a good possibility, Zhou Qing's record is really amazing after all.

But when "The Revenant" swept the Oscars again, La Pekan was also very surprised.

Director Zhou, you are really too aggressive!

It would be fine to conquer the Oscars once, but can you do it again?
I can’t accept it!
At the same time, there is the same deep regret that Han Sanping felt back then.

It’s a pity that The Revenant is no longer a co-production.

But even so, La Pekang is still very concerned about the release of "The Revenant".

This was his first collaboration with Zhou Qing after taking office, and La Peikang really wanted to use this opportunity to hold Zhou Qing's thigh tighter.

Of course, as an imported film, the performance of "The Revenant" itself is also the achievement of China Film.

La Peikang will not take it lightly.

As for the premiere of "The Revenant" held on January 1, he personally watched it from beginning to end and attached great importance to it.

“It’s the premiere, it’s finally the premiere!”

"I have finally waited for this day."

"Look at what Director Zhou has done to Leo."

Needless to say, those spectators and Zhou Qing's fans have been looking forward to it for a long time.

Everyone really wants to see with their own eyes what kind of quality Director Zhou's film, which once again swept the Oscars, has.

"As expected of Director Zhou, the standard is as high as always."

"It's miserable, isn't it?"

"Awesome! Only Director Zhou can make a movie like this."

“It’s not as watchable as Life of Pi, but it’s undeniably a good movie.”

After watching the movie, everyone generally gave high praise and evaluation to "The Revenant".

In fact, in terms of story, "The Revenant" is not that watchable.

It's not even as watchable as "Life of Pi".

Although the story of "Life of Pi" is simpler than "The Revenant", at least the special effects are good.

But what about The Revenant?

It's just Leo's survival in the wilderness and revenge.

But if you look at it from more professional perspectives such as camera language, editing, composition, rhythm, etc., "The Revenant" is truly impeccable in every aspect.

It's like a textbook level.

It is enough to serve as a model for any director.

Anyone with eyes can see the superb directing skills.

Coupled with the subject matter and Leo's brilliant performance, it was not surprising that "The Revenant" once again swept the Oscars.

But I feel that it should be so.

If even a film like this can't become an Oscar favorite, then the Oscars are really too watery and too unconvincing.

But even so, the general judgment of people in the industry is that the box office of "The Revenant" should not be higher than that of "Life of Pi".

I have to say that everyone’s guess was very correct. "The Revenant" was released on January 1, and the first day box office was quickly revealed.

Only 4300 million.

As another favorite to win an Oscar, The Revenant’s first-day box office was less than half of Life of Pi.

You should know that the box office of "Life of Pi" exceeded 100 million on the day of its release.

But even so, the first-day box office of 4300 million is actually a very high figure.

It's just slightly inferior to those cheating movies released by Zhou Qing Pictures, but if you look at it from the perspective of the entire Chinese entertainment industry, it's really not low.

On the contrary, it is very high, a level that can only be achieved by a few films.

Not to mention, "The Revenant" is essentially an art film.

The box office potential of art films has always been limited, and it is already very impressive that "The Revenant" can achieve such a result.

"4300 million on the first day?"

Liu Yifei told Zhou Qing the data as soon as possible, and Zhou Qing was quite satisfied with it.

You have to know that in the original time and space, the box office of "The Revenant" in mainland China was only 3.3 million yuan.

Now, because of my own changes, it has reached 4300 million on the first day, which is already very good.

Movies with themes like "The Revenant" are not really suited to mainland China's tastes.

But Zhou Qing is still optimistic about the global market.

You have to know that the film's global box office performance is already very good.

Although the total box office is slightly worse than that of "Life of Pi", if you compare it carefully, it is basically inferior to the box office in mainland China.

In other words, the box office in other parts of the world, except mainland China, is basically the same as that of "Life of Pi".

"The Revenant" can also eat all over the world like "Life of Pi".

Facts have proved that Zhou Qing's prediction was correct. "The Revenant" was officially released in other theaters around the world on February 2, and its momentum was much more explosive than the box office trend in mainland China.

Not only did the North American box office gross 4200 million U.S. dollars in the first week, but the global box office even took in 2 million U.S. dollars!

This data is slightly better than that of "Life of Pi".

exploded.

It exploded!
Like "Life of Pi", "The Revenant" also became a global box office hit!
I don’t know how many people in the circle were deeply touched.

Originally, when the box office of "The Revenant" in mainland China was far behind that of "Life of Pi", everyone thought that "The Revenant" would make Zhou Qing fail slightly.

This film may be able to be compared with "Life of Pi" in terms of awards, or even go further than "Life of Pi".

After all, there was no acting award when "Life of Pi" was nominated.

But overall, "The Revenant" is unlikely to achieve the same level of success as "Life of Pi", which achieved both awards and box office success.

But who would have thought that when he turned around, Director Zhou slapped everyone in the face with the data.

Who said that Director Zhou would fail in "The Revenant"?
Who said that The Revenant wasn’t doing well at the box office?

The global box office is also booming!
Your uncle is still your uncle. (End of this chapter)
