Chapter 643 Can you break the record of a literary film?
"This is a question from a netizen of Pain Xun Entertainment, and it's for Director Zhou."

The host Li Mi continued to read with a note in his hand: "Hi Director Zhou, I have watched every one of your movies. I used to like your "Charlotte Annoyance" the most. Now this "Starting Line is my favourite.

Just like the theme expressed in the movie, it proves your growth in the past few years. This movie showed me your talent in literary and artistic films. I hope you can make more excellent movies of this type in the future, which can break domestic movies Nobody has ever won an Oscar. "

Li Mi looked at Zhou Xia after reading the question, waiting for his answer.

Zhou Xia was a little speechless. This fan really opened his mouth to look forward to him. How could Oscar be so easy? Maybe he didn't even know what happened to Oscar.

Zhou Xia was speechless, but said with a smile: "Thank you, this netizen, for having such high expectations for me. If there are good scripts, I will still shoot more literary films in the future. But what I want to say about the Oscars is that some people may There are some misunderstandings. Oscar is not the most expensive than the three major European film festivals. It is more because of Hollywood that many people have such an impression.

The official name of the Academy Awards is the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards. It can be seen from this that the Oscars are professional awards from the United States and Hollywood. Our Chinese-language films can only participate in the selection of the best foreign-language film. As for other There is no possibility.

Therefore, while we recognize the gold content of the Oscar, there is no need to elevate him to a necessary height. In my opinion, winning an Oscar is not necessarily more difficult than winning the Golden Rooster Award. "

After Zhou Xia said this, many people in the audience smiled slightly. Zhou Xia really knows how to lick.

But today is the National Day, so these words are also appropriate.

Zhou Xia ignored the audience's laughter, and continued: "Filmmaking is a matter that is affected by many factors, so it all depends on chance. Maybe I will go to Hollywood to shoot films that can really participate in the Oscars. It might be easier to win prizes then."

Zhou Xia's previous words were lowering everyone's expectations for Oscar, but in the end he said such a joke, and everyone in the audience laughed again.

Could it be that Zhou Xia's subtext was saying that foreign language film awards are too difficult, and if he has the opportunity in the future, he will go to win a more important Oscar, which is too good...

Li Mi also laughed when he heard Zhou Xia's answer: "Director Zhou's answer is really good, I look forward to that day coming soon, the next question is for Tangtang, it is a question from a user of Xiahua Video Network, she As a lucky fan, I also came to the premiere today."

As soon as the words were finished, a fat, cute girl in a hat stood up, and someone immediately handed her a microphone.

"Hi Tangtang, I am very happy after watching the movie. The Xia Xiaomi you portrayed is really wonderful. Your acting skills are unpretentious and just right, making people believe in this character immediately. May I ask what kind of experience you have? , so that your acting skills have improved so much?"

After Tangtang listened carefully, she also showed a happy expression, looked at Zhou Xia next to her, and said with a smile to the audience: "Thank you, I still have a lot to learn, this time I can get everyone's approval. Such a good performance is mainly due to the director, and I am very grateful for his guidance."

Hearing that Tangtang praised him, Zhou Xia quickly denied: "Tangtang is too modest, mainly due to her own hard work. She spent three months experiencing life in the early stage. Although she did not meet our requirements at the time, she faced the huge challenge of changing roles. Despite the pressure, she can still persevere and surpass herself, and finally won the approval of the director team and won the role. During the filming, she continued to work hard, which made the role so successful, thanks to her wonderful performance."

After the two exchanged commercials, the host interviewed several other main creators, and then invited performers to perform. By the time the premiere ceremony was over and the media had a large-scale group interview, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

After most of the day, Zhou Xia and the others were already very hungry, so they left the hall by car and went to the restaurant where the banquet had already been booked.

Tangtang didn't hold anything back, and got into the same car as Zhou Xia.

However, Zhou Xia didn't care about her, and immediately checked the movie's release status with her mobile phone.

Starting at 1800:[-] p.m., the national screening was held almost at the same time as the premiere ceremony. In the past four hours, the box office has exceeded [-] million.

Zhou Xia is quite satisfied with this data. After all, the competition for the National Day file is fierce and there are many popular movies. The film schedule of "Starting Line" is relatively low.

Huayi Brothers released "Di Renjie the Dragon King", which was released one day earlier, and now occupies the first place, reaching 34%. The second is "Zodiac", which was released for ten days, with 23%. ", 21% of the film schedule.

Of course, after all, "Starting Line" has just been released, and with word-of-mouth spreading after its release tonight, and its excellent performance, the theater will increase its film schedule in accordance with the agreement tomorrow.

This is also impossible.

Although Zhou Xia is now the best-selling director in China, and "Starting Line" won the Golden Lion Award and was nominated for eight Golden Horse awards, in the eyes of theater managers who are interested in money, it is impossible for literary films to compare If a commercial film is a blockbuster, if you want a high-ranking film, you must first show your strength.

Even if the director is Zhou Xia.

Of course, if it was Zhou Xia's commercial film, they wouldn't be like this. They had already arranged more than 30% of the film.

Zhou Xia wasn't surprised by this. After all, it's 2013 now, and there aren't many literary and artistic films that have grossed over [-] million at the box office. It's normal for theaters to be unpopular.

In fact, if you think about it seriously, this movie can't be considered a complete literary movie. After all, he and Tangtang starred in it.

However, because the subject matter involves reality and education, domestic filmmakers, including theaters, regard this film as a literary film. Zhou Xia has other ideas, hoping that "Starting Line" can create a record of literary films.

Although some of them are pre-sale box office, the four-hour box office of 1800 million is already extremely high. Compared with last summer's "Painted Skin 2", the four-hour box office was 2800 million. There is indeed a big gap, but the current film schedule is not high. Moreover, this movie can be screened for a long time, and its stamina will be stronger, so it is not a matter of this moment.

"Yiyi, what are you going to do after dinner?"

Seeing Zhou Xia staring at the phone, Tangtang also watched the movie on the Internet, and found that the fans on Weibo and Tieba were full of praise. programme.

"After dinner, go back to sleep." Zhou Xia didn't turn her head back, and went to Douban to read movie reviews and audience ratings.

"Hmph, what's your attitude!" Tangtang was very dissatisfied, and grabbed Zhou Xia's phone with one hand, and looked at him angrily.

The driver in front was Zhou Xia's assistant Xiaobai, Tangtang naturally had no taboos.
