You don't understand the happiness of the director

"Bow once"

"Bow again"

"Family members return the greeting..."

Wang Quan and Yang Mi stood in the family members' position to return the greeting to the guests.

One month after Yang Mi's grandfather celebrated his 90th birthday, he passed away. Fortunately, he was not tortured by illness. He passed away suddenly, but also freely.

And at such an old age, it is also a happy funeral.

Grandpa was a middle school teacher. Many of his colleagues at that time are no longer with us. Today, many of his students came. They were puzzled to see Wang Quan standing next to Yang Mi.

Didn't they divorce?

Did they really divorce to buy a school district house? !

Although it was a happy funeral, Mi Mi still couldn't hide her sadness on her face. She always paid attention to her image and she was almost bare-faced today.

Thinking back to a few years ago, my grandfather had visited me on the set, and a month ago, we celebrated our birthday together. As my grandfather's only granddaughter, I have been busy with my career and family these years, and I really care less about my grandfather. Every time, it is my grandfather who takes the initiative to call me.

"Husband, I may not be able to participate in the promotion of "Zhu Xian" next time." Yang Mi said on the way home.

After all, her close relative just passed away, and she had to participate in the movie promotion right after. It was too disconnected. Recently, she just wanted to fade out of the public eye.

Wang Quan fully understood, and after returning home, Xixi also hugged her and said that it was okay, "I'm here, and you didn't have many roles in this movie, you are just a special one."

Yang Mi looked up at Liu Yifei's innocent expression, is this really comforting me?

In the third part, Bi Yao basically "bed scenes" throughout the whole process, and there are not many roles, so Yang Mi simply gave up the position of the third role and appeared in the cast of this film as a special guest.

Anyway, she doesn't lack this achievement, and she believes that Jing Ge's "The Climber" will not be bad.

"By the way, will the list of nominees for the Golden Bamboo Awards be released today?" Yang Mi asked tiredly.

"There's still half an hour left, but you can watch it now," Wang Quan said as he took the computer and opened an encrypted file: "See if there are any hidden gems."

Liu Yifei also came over, "How many awards are there in total?"

Wang Quan: "Including short films, there are 21 in total. There is no Lifetime Achievement Award this year."

The first one is the Best Picture, with a total of 9 films.

Films like "Happy Journey 2", "Operation Red Sea" and "Dying to Survive" that are at the top of the box office list are all on the list.

Films with a box office of around 1 billion yuan, "The Invincible", "A Man's Zoo" and "The Nameless" are also on the list.

There are also "Killing a Sheep" and "Ash Is Purest White" with box office below 100 million yuan.

What surprised Yang Mi the most was "The Last Night on Earth", which had a box office of 260 million yuan on the first day and 280 million yuan in the end.

"This movie is also nominated!?"

Liu Yifei retorted: "This movie is pretty good, but it's too niche, suitable for slow appreciation."

Wang Quan smiled and said: "It seems that Xixi voted for "Earth". Many photographers also like this movie. There are many people in the Photography Association, so it's not surprising that this movie can be nominated."

Except for the best film, which has 5 to 10 nominations, the rest of the nominations are at most five. Some of them can't make up to five, so they have four or even three, such as the best new actor and new director.

So there are only five best directors, namely Zhang Yimou, Wang Quan, Jia Zhangke, Wen Muye, and Lin Chaoxian.

~

At 12 noon, after the nominations were announced, Jia Zhangke saw the list first and focused on the best director.

Seeing his name on the list, he breathed a sigh of relief. In this case, this award still has some gold content and is more reliable than the Golden Rooster Award.

Moreover, not only was he nominated for Best Director, but the film was also nominated for Best Picture. Liao Fan and his wife Zhao Tao were also nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress. In addition, there were several nominations for Best Screenwriter, Best Art Design, etc., which was a big nomination.

Jia Zhangke couldn't help but feel proud. It had to be me. The rules of the Golden Bamboo Awards were obviously modeled after the Oscars. Under this rule, films with humanistic care like mine are more popular. Maybe the Best Film and Best Director of the first Golden Bamboo Awards will be mine!

"What about me? Do you think I will win the Best Actress?" Taotao asked Keke.

Jia Zhangke coughed twice. When the two first met, he promised Zhao Tao that he would send her to the throne of the Best Actress in Cannes.

As a result, after so many years, there have been many nominations, but no weighty awards. It is understandable that Taotao is emotional.

From Zhao Tao's eyes, Jia Zhangke can clearly see her desire for this award.

Although it is just a newly established award, if the Golden Bamboo Award rises in the future, then the weight of the first Golden Bamboo Award Best Actress will naturally be particularly heavy, and it will go down in film history!

And there is no one who is particularly strong among the nominees for Best Actress this year, this is a good opportunity!

Zhou Xun in "Hello, Zhihua" is old and has lost some of her spirituality. Zhang Jingchu in "Wushuang" did a good job, but her role was too small.

There is also Ma Yili in "Find You". I feel that Yao Chen played better, so we can make a fuss about this aspect. Uh, article...

Finally, there is Wan Qian in "Nobody", a disabled character, whose character setting is good and her acting is not bad, but Jia Zhangke heard that Ren Suxi was originally chosen for this role, and it was Wan Qian who grabbed the role by relying on her relationship with Wang Quan.

This aspect can also be a big deal.

So Jia Zhangke hugged Taotao tightly, "Don't worry, I will try my best to help you fight for it this time! It doesn't matter if I win the award or not, but you must win it!"

Although Jia Zhangke mainly mixes in the European circle, he has just been hired as a judge by the Oscars recently, and he knows a thing or two about the Oscar public relations awards.

In addition to bragging about himself, there is also creating trouble for opponents.

For example, find a press release to praise Yao Chen, another heroine of "Find You", to create a public opinion atmosphere that Ma Yili is not worthy of her reputation.

And Wan Qian snatched the role of Ren Suxi, bullying others by taking advantage of her position. Although her acting skills are good, her character is not good.

Zhang Jingchu has too few roles and should be nominated for Best Supporting Actress, etc.

~

Ma Yili just received a call from her daughter Li Gengxi in "Little Joy" congratulating her on her nomination for Best Actress.

Then she saw the online article that used Yao Chen to drag her down. She said, "You are so good, Yao Dazui. You use such dirty means when you can't beat me!"

Both of them submitted their nominations to the Golden Bamboo Awards as the best actress. As for her being nominated and her not being nominated, it can only be said that her votes were lower than hers. People in the industry have sharp eyes!

After thinking about it, Ma Yili called Wen Zhang again, "Can you ask your godfather to think of a way to build momentum for me?"

"Build momentum for you, who do you think you are? My godfather also nominated for the best actor. It would be great if he has the resources to build momentum for himself." Wen Zhang sneered.

Wang Qiankun was indeed nominated, this time for the rural-themed movie "Sherlock on the Plains", which is about the story of his hometown.

Ma Yili added: "Then let's build momentum together. Think about it. When the time comes, your godfather and I will be the best actor and actress, and we will take a family photo with you. How great is that."

"Bah, you are shameless~" After imagining that scene, Wen Zhang spat and suddenly heard a man's voice on the phone, who was quite young.

He snorted, "Do you have a man around you?"

Ma Yili covered the mouth of the young man next to him, "I'm divorced, why do you care about me? Don't you have a woman around you!"

"It's already afternoon, I got up early!" Wen Zhang cursed and hung up the phone. He took a last look at his new script and decided to see what his father meant.

As luck would have it, he met another son, Dapeng.

As soon as Wen Zhang came in, Lao Wang said with a smile: "Xiao Wen, you also know that I was nominated for the Golden Bamboo Award for Best Actor!"

Wen Zhang said with a smile: "Dad is awesome, I have a vote here, I support Dad to be the best actor!"

Da Peng: "It's like who doesn't support it."

Wen Zhang: "Not only do I support it myself, I also ask my ex-wife to support it."

Lao Wang interrupted his witticism, "Let's talk business, I have read Da Peng's script and I am very satisfied with it. What about yours, Xiao Wen?"

Wen Zhang stretched his neck to take a look at Da Peng's script on the table, "Mulan Returns Home, are you trying to take advantage of the popularity of Disney's Mulan?"

Da Peng: "I am the middle-aged female general Mulan, which is not the same as those Disney princesses. What kind of script did you write?"

Wen Zhang showed it with great confidence. Da Peng and Lao Wang took a closer look and saw the five big words "Brave New World" on the cover.

~

Wan Qian was of course happy to see that she was nominated for the Best Actress, but she couldn't help but feel aggrieved when she saw a large number of negative notices suddenly appearing on the Internet.

In fact, this role really shouldn't be played by her. She and director Rao Xiaozhi have worked together on several dramas, and she was afraid that Quanzi would misunderstand her.

Rao Xiaozhi wanted to find Ren Suxi to play the role of Ma Jiaqi at first.

As luck would have it, Ren Suxi had just cheated on her, and the other party also had a family. YYDS's risk assessment did not pass, so Rao Xiaozhi had to find his old friend Wan Qian to save the situation.

However, Rao Xiaozhi still admired Ren Suxi very much. The interlude of the film used the song "Hu Guangsheng" composed by her, which was also nominated for the Best Original Song Award.

Wan Qian complained about this matter to Wang Quan on the phone, "I was obviously doing it for the sake of justice and helping others, but those press releases said so much nonsense. How can I be as calm as a chrysanthemum in the future!"

She spoke very quickly, and Wang Quan heard one calm and one chrysanthemum, and nodded in approval.

"You, please stop browsing Zhihu in the future. There is no point in being as quiet as a chrysanthemum. Strength is more important than anything else to attract fans. Have you received more film offers since "Nobody"?"

"Yes," Wan Qian said self-deprecatingly, "Now there are more variety shows looking for me, and they are talent shows. At my age, they actually asked me to sing and dance!"

This seems to be a new plan of Mi Shi, looking for a group of sisters over 30 years old to sing and dance. Wang Quan smiled and said nothing.

But she was quickly helped to deal with the negative public opinion. Ren Suxi personally stood up and said that she turned down "Nobody" because she was busy with other things at the time, and thanked director Rao Xiaozhi again for letting her work be shortlisted for the Golden Bamboo Award for Best Original Song.

In addition, the affirmation of Teacher Wan Qian's performance was regarded as an open canvassing for her. There are many such canvassing in the open, and I am afraid that they will form interest groups to make small moves in secret.

Also shortlisted for the best original song is Rocket Girls 101. Their popular song "Alien Princess Abe" sung for the cartoon "Trembling, Abe!" was successfully shortlisted.

As the year draws to a close, Yang Chaoyue is preparing to celebrate the New Year in her hometown. This is also the first time she has lived in the country mansion that she funded to build for her father.

Although they haven't bought a big house in Beijing, the appearance of their small family has been completely changed.

When they find a wife for their father, everything will be perfect.

She plans to return to Beijing on the second day of the Chinese New Year. She has adapted to the life in the city, and there is still a lot of work to do after the beginning of the year.

In addition to inviting her to play the big boss Haotian in the second part of "Ever Night", Mi Shi prepared a compilation movie about pets called "Love", and she was also confirmed to play the heroine of a unit.

It happened that the love fund of this month arrived at the account, and the deposit exceeded 60 million.

At the same time, she also saw the freshly released list of nominees for the Golden Bamboo Award. Seeing that Wang Quan's works and name were on the list, she couldn't help but be happy for him.

Later, she saw that there were Rocket Girls, and she was even more happy. She immediately sent this good news to Cheng Xiao, and then transferred it to the Rocket Girls group.

In this way, as nominees, they can attend the award ceremony openly!

~

The 17-year-old Zhao Jinmai envied Zhang Zifeng for being able to attend the Golden Bamboo Award ceremony as a nominee.

18-year-old Zhang Zifeng was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Hello, Zhihua.

They are currently filming Mi Shi's new film Take My Brother Away 2, and will not rest until New Year's Eve.

The first film last year was a small success, earning 400 million yuan at the box office, which was considered a dark horse.

So Mi Shi quickly brought in the original cast to shoot the second film, since it was easy to adapt the original comic book.

The film was also nominated for the Best Adapted Screenplay Award at the Golden Bamboo Awards.

Zhao Jinmai and Zhang Zifeng have collaborated several times, and each time Zhang Zifeng was the female lead and Zhao Jinmai was the supporting actress.

Zhang Zifeng put his arm around Zhao Jinmai's shoulders like a general, "Oh, it's just a nomination for a supporting actress, I envy you, I heard that the sci-fi film you starred in was invested as much as 500 million yuan, a big production!"

It's true, Zhao Jinmai played a sci-fi film called The Wandering Earth, she was the leading actress, the leading actor was Han Dongjun, and they played a pair of siblings.

Maybe the director was afraid that the two young people couldn't carry the box office, so he pulled in Teacher Wu Jing to take on another side story.

Speaking of this, Zhao Jinmai held his forehead and said, "Originally, our film was planned to be released during the Spring Festival, but Director Wang Quan didn't let us do it and insisted that we go to the June schedule."

"Does Director Quan not think highly of this film?"

Zhao Jinmai: "I think so. Director Guo Fan also said that this is a revolutionary film. The most important thing is to make it well. The box office doesn't need to be considered. I always feel that our film will lose money. Science fiction film? Except for Wu Lei's "Pili Beibei", I don't know that there are science fiction films in China."

"Then what do you think of the quality of this film?" Zhang Zifeng asked.

"I can't tell. Most of the time we perform without physical objects under the green screen, just like filming Avengers." Zhao Jinmai shrugged.

Zhang Zifeng laughed: "Avengers 3 has a box office of more than 2 billion. If it can have this box office, it will be considered good."

After that, Zhang Zifeng received a call from her agent Sheng Xue, who helped her take a play.

"It's still from Mi Shi, a pet-themed film compilation, and you're the heroine, which is considered to be within the top three."

Zhao Jinmai, who was standing next to him, also heard it. He had nothing to say except envy. There were really too many dramas for Zifeng.

Backstage at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, the four heroines of the annual hit "Story of Yanxi Palace", Zhou Ye, Qin Lan, She Shiman, and Tan Zhuo, were invited to sing songs. They have passed five levels and six generals and have been confirmed to stay.

Although Zhou Ye's singing is average, it's lip-syncing anyway, so she doesn't care.

She just feels happy because of this job that can't be refused. She doesn't have to go home for the New Year this year, and she can go to Wang Quan after the Spring Festival Gala.

She was just happy when she saw that sister Tan Zhuo next to her looked very disappointed.

Just when she was about to ask what was wrong, Qin Lan waved her hand and whispered to her that the list of nominees for the Golden Bamboo Awards was released.

As the heroine of "Dying to Survive", the most popular movie in the first Golden Bamboo Awards, Tan Zhuo was not nominated for the best actress.

In fact, everyone recognized her performance very much, but her role was relatively small, and it seemed a little dim under the aura of Xu Zheng's big male lead.

In addition, she had no school or school, was not from one of the three major colleges, and her agency was not strong, so she was unfortunately eliminated with the seventh place in the votes. The sixth place was Yao Dazui from "Find You".

In fact, her agent advised her that since she had few roles, she might as well compete for the award as a supporting actress. With the influence of "Dying to Survive", she would not only be shortlisted, but also have a higher chance of winning than other supporting actresses.

Like Yan Bingyan in "A Man's Zoo", she was actually the heroine, but she had few roles, so she downgraded herself to a supporting actress and was shortlisted.

But it was useless to regret it now. Tan Zhuo just wanted to complete the performance of the Spring Festival Gala.

They were rehearsing, and Lin Zhiling passed by and waved to Zhou Ye.

The two were not very familiar with each other before. Later, Wang Quan learned that the two of them and Reba would participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala, so he gathered them together to get familiar with each other.

Reba also has a singing program this year, and participating in this year's Spring Festival Gala is also a promotional strategy for her as the heroine of "Mermaid 2".

In addition to her, many of the leading actors in this year's Spring Festival also participated in the Spring Festival Gala.

For example, Allen from "Mermaid 2", Shen Teng, the male lead of "Crazy Alien" and "Flying Life".

Zhu Yawen from "Hidden Man" also formed a singing program with Liu Ye and other tough guys.

Cheng Long from "Detective Pu Songling" will also appear.

The eldest brother Long is still very energetic. Although "Pu Songling" looked like a show-stopper, he was still very serious in rehearsing.

Lin Zhiling called herself, Zhou Ming thought that Director Quan would have some fun activities tonight, but it turned out that Reba just bought mutton skewers from "Guli Guli" and asked her if she wanted to eat.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and Wang Quan can't take care of them today.

Not to mention that there is still something going on at home, and today he has to receive two foreign guests.

Yui Aragaki and Masami Nagasawa came all the way from Neon. They came to the capital for work.

Chen Sicheng knows how to increase the box office. "Tang Detective 3" not only invited Andy Lau to make a surprise cameo, but also invited two of Neon's most popular actresses.

Among them, Masami Nagasawa is the heroine, and Yui Aragaki plays the mother in her memory, which is the role of Wen Yongshan in the original version.

A poor mother who grew up in the Northeast because of the war and later returned to her homeland of Neon, but she was almost Chinese from the inside out and could not integrate into Neon.

During the script stage, Wang Quan repeatedly rejected Chen Sicheng and forced him to make changes again and again until his hair fell out.

Although it didn't turn out to be a great script in the end, it was a lot smoother, so that Masami Nagasawa wouldn't be able to guess that she was the murderer as soon as she appeared on the stage.

Chen Sicheng believes that the Tang Detective series attracts audiences through comedy rather than reasoning. In fact, the collapse of the original "Tang Detective 3" started with reasoning and confusing things.

In order to compensate Chen Gou, Wang Quan personally helped him invite these two top neon actresses that he dreamed of, but unfortunately he could only look at them but not touch them.

Chen Gou: I might as well invite Mikami and Brother Feng to eat this early! I asked them to be the heroine, and they asked me to be the hero.

In the hotel, Wang Quan hugged Yui and Masami and threw them on the bed, and then told them, "The movie you starred in is currently the number one in pre-sales during the Spring Festival, about 200 million."

The two people immediately converted it into Japanese yen, and then screamed that it was already 3 billion yen before it was officially released.

"Incredible China, incredible Spring Festival!"

Although the film schedule of "Tang Detective 3" is not as good as that of "Zhu Xian 3", the pre-sales are higher than that of "Tang Detective". An important reason is that "Tang Detective" is a suspense and mystery movie, and this type of movie is most afraid of being spoiled.

Therefore, no matter where the audience is willing to watch both movies, if they can only watch one that day, most of them are willing to watch "Tang Detective 3" first to avoid being spoiled.

Yui and Masami will be in China for at least half a month, but they have to travel across the country during this half month, so they cherish every minute and every second with Wang Quan.

As a result, Wang Quan received a call, and the exchange between China and Japan turned into an exchange between China, Japan and South Korea.

Poor Shirley was preparing to spend the holidays in China, but she was alone and didn’t know who to look for, so she called Wang Quan.

Then Wang Quan asked her to come to this room.

Now that there were beauties from Japan and South Korea, Wang Quan took another look at his circle of friends to see who was more obedient in the capital.

In the end, he chose Zhang Ruonan, probably to avoid her original family. She stayed in the capital this year for work reasons.

So Wang Quan made a call, Zhang Ruonan and Shirley came to the hotel room, and the war between China, Japan and South Korea was about to break out.

In the end, Wang Quan also entrusted Shirley to Zhang Ruonan and asked them to celebrate the New Year together in the capital.

Zhang Ruonan was very happy, otherwise she would have been very lonely.

Early the next morning, Wang Quan also returned to his home to prepare for the New Year.

Sissi will probably be very busy this year promoting her movie, while Wang Quan and Yang Mi can relax and have a comfortable New Year.

"Why did you bring so many medical equipment to your house?" Yang Mi saw several large boxes when she was cleaning up the house, including a separate box for masks.

Wang Quan: "It's winter. I heard that the recent flu is very severe. To be prepared, I'm going to get two ventilators."

Yang Mi clicked her tongue and said, "It feels like you are playing some kind of doomsday game."

Wang Quan: "I hope the end will not come, Xianmi, hang up the lanterns with dad."

After that, my parents came to the house and started preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner. Everything was ready, and only Liu Yifei was left.

In addition to Mei Yanqiu, the three filmmakers Wang Quan, Yang Mi, and Wang Qiankun were all sitting on the sofa watching Maoyan.

Tomorrow will be the most brutal Spring Festival in history!

But there is often silence before a war~

In recent years, New Year's Eve has almost always been the lowest box office day of the year. Many movie theaters have even closed their doors to give their employees a holiday because they have to go to work on the first day of the new year.

This year, due to the emergence of "White Snake: Origin" and "Deadpool 2", Thirty'er still has a box office of almost 30 million today, which is considered a very good performance.

However, the box office performance of "Deadpool 2" was not as good as that of "White Snake". It seems that the deletions still have some impact, but the two films together also made a billion in box office, which together is similar to the "Bumblebee" at the beginning of the month. .

It's just that this "Bumblebee" called "Transformers 5" only has a scale of one billion, and netizens said that Hollywood is not working.

In fact, 1 billion is not bad. In 2019, the first mainland movie to break 1 billion, the sales in North America were not as good as those in the mainland.

Today is also the last day for "Xiaoyaoyou 2" to be released in mainland China. It is less than three months away and it took in 80,000 yuan at the box office on the last day.

In fact, by the third month, there was no box office, but everyone wanted to see how high the ceiling of the mainland film market was, so they kept showing it, and just a few tenths of a movie would not bother others.

The mainland box office closed at 5.792 billion, unfortunately, it was stuck at 9th place, more than 100 million higher than "Wolf Warrior 2".

But because the ticket price was also two yuan higher, the number of moviegoers for "Happy Journey 2" was 156 million, more than 3 million less than "Wolf Warrior 2".

Wang Quan believes that the ceiling of mainland moviegoers is still "Wolf Warrior 2", and "Happy Journey 2" has not explored enough in the elderly.

However, "Happy Journey 2" has further expanded its overseas market. Although the North American box office has decreased by 5 million dollars due to several tough opponents, it has increased overall, and the final global box office is 1.523 billion US dollars!

Although the first "Happy Journey" has been squeezed out of the top ten in the global box office history, "Happy Journey 2" has rushed up again and suppressed "Avengers".

Wang Quan has four films on the top ten in the global film history again, and his personal cumulative total box office has also reached an astonishing 15.9 billion US dollars.

Even if Spielberg has a small hit like Ready Player One, it is still less than 10 billion, and he can't catch up.

Cameron, who is in third place, is still nearly 10 billion away from Wang Quan. If Avatar 2, 3, 4, and 5 all come up, he may be able to surpass it.

And Wang Quan also told Mimi a good news, "Inception will be re-screened."

"Huh?" Yang Mi was stunned and asked in surprise, "It's been ten years?"

"Yes." Wang Quan had told her before that Inception would be re-screened worldwide after ten years of release. Inception fans all over the world are waiting for this day. This is the treatment of a classic movie.

For example, the global box office of Titanic in its first round of screenings was 1.84 billion US dollars, and it has reached 2.2 billion US dollars after continuous re-screenings over the years.

There are also films such as Star Wars, Jaws, The Sound of Music, Gone with the Wind, and Spirited Away, which are also shown in theaters every few years, and the box office is not bad.

"Then there must be some difference between the re-released version and the old version, right?" asked Lao Wang.

Wang Quan: "One minute of footage that affects the rhythm was deleted, but there are three minutes of footage that has not been released. Several special effects have been redone using the new technology in recent years, and the effect is better, but there is no major innovation."

Lao Wang shook his head: "Then you may not be able to beat the box office of the re-release of "Titanic."

The re-release of the big ship is from 2D to 3D, which is naturally more attractive.

Yang Mi has a different opinion: "The number of viewers of "Inception" was only more than 40 million, and now the ceiling of the number of viewers is 160 million! There are still more than 100 million viewers who have not seen "Inception" on the big screen, and this movie is born for the big screen. There is a big difference between TV and computer. I think there must be great potential."

Lao Wang thought about it and asked again: "When is the re-release planned? Is it still in July?"

July is exactly the tenth anniversary.

Wang Quan shook his head: "July is too crowded, so we booked it in March to warm up the cold season."

Old Wang patted his thigh: "That's fine. By then, the IMAX and giant screens of Dawang Cinema will be used to show "Inception", and we will try to break the box office record of the re-screening of Dachuan!"

As they were talking, Liu Yifei came back from an interview, and Mei Yanqiu greeted her, "Let's eat!"

After a day, the news of the Golden Bamboo Award shortlist had spread thoroughly on the Internet.

At the same time, it was announced that Beijing had won the qualification to host the Golden Bamboo Award, and the venue was the Dome Theater in the Dragon Head-raising Theme Park.

The Golden Bamboo Award Committee invested a lot of media resources in this shortlist, striving to let netizens know and discuss it.

And netizens have a very high recognition of the Golden Bamboo Award shortlist, except for "The Last Night on Earth".

firezy06: Look at the nominations for the Golden Bamboo Awards, they look so professional. Medicine God, The Untamed, and The Nameless are all the best movies this year, and... damn, how come there is also this garbage "The Last Night on Earth"!

Lucifer's Heart: I understand that there are a thousand judges with different tastes, but no matter how weird your taste is, it is not a reason for you to like "The Last Night on Earth"!

The King of Heaven: I feel that "The Last Night on Earth" is just to make up the numbers. If it wins the Golden Bamboo Award, there will be no need to hold the second session.

Fengbo Wuhen: Except for a bad apple in the list of Best Film nominees, everything else is perfect! It's much more reliable than the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse Awards.

In addition to "The Last Night on Earth", there are other films that make netizens dissatisfied.

liyr: I can tolerate "Happy Journey 2" being nominated, after all, it has a deep understanding of oriental aesthetics, but "Operation Red Sea", a gun battle movie with bangs all the way, can also be nominated for Best Film. Isn't this a bit of a joke?

Time and Space Planning Bureau: Although I also enjoyed watching "Operation Red Sea", it is enough for this film to be nominated for a few technical awards. The best film should still encourage those films with ideas.

Shiliting: If you think "Operation Red Sea" is not suitable for the Golden Bamboo Award, you might as well take a look at the Oscars next door. "Black Panther" can be nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture. How can our "Operation Red Sea" be inferior!

Two days before the Golden Bamboo Award, the Oscar nomination list was just announced, and "Black Panther" became the first superhero movie nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture.

This move caused an uproar in the US film industry, and people felt that the Oscars were bowing to political correctness.

You should know that Nolan's Batman trilogy and Zack Snyder's "Watchmen" have never been nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture. How can the little Black Panther be so worthy!

Wang Quan thought to himself, it doesn't matter if you lower your head now, there will be more time to kneel and kowtow in the future.

Amid discussions of support and controversy, the Golden Bamboo Award has become famous all over the world. It has captured the hearts of many people even before it is awarded, and people from all walks of life have begun to vote for the next final election.

The Spring Festival Gala is as ugly as ever. Wang Quan's greatest pleasure is to see his own woman wearing festive red clothes on the Spring Festival Gala.

At the same time, he is also thinking about how to send Assistant Ma to the Spring Festival Gala next year.

But now he is handing out red envelopes while watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Someone sent him a New Year greeting message, but he was too lazy to reply, so he just replied with a red envelope.

Chaoyue, Dudu, Cheng Xiao and Sun Yining all have them.

Even Chen Lijun and Li Yunxiao, who were celebrating the New Year in their hometown in Zhejiang Province, received big red envelopes from Wang Quan and his concern.

Wang Quan asked them how they were doing in their hometown, what delicious food they had eaten, and when they would return to the troupe.

"Then will you come back then?" Chen Lijun asked while lying on her bed.

Wang Quan: "I'm still busy with the post-production work of "Xiaoyaoyou3", so I won't go back for the time being, but the leading actors of the film will go over to train with you."

"Who is the leading actor?" Li Yunxiao asked.

Wang Quan: "Shameful spoilers, we will know when the time comes."

Wang Quan then called Liu Yifei to the office and handed her the completed new script.

""Lily"?" Liu Yifei blushed, "Is the title of the script so straightforward?"

Lily is a lesbian, a lesbian, a lesbian!

Wang Quan hit Liu Yifei on the head with the female folding fan given by Li Yunxiao, "What are you thinking? It's because the troupe the protagonists are in is called Sayuri troupe, so it was named "Lily", and this is only a temporary name, we will say it later Maybe it needs to be changed.”

"Oh, that's it. Then do Ni Ni and I have any drama with Ji?"

"Of course there is, but I will definitely bypass the red line of the review department. Just watch. After the festival, you and Ni Ni will go to Xiaobaihua Theater to study, at least for half a year."

Liu Yifei was eager to give it a try: "No problem, I'll read the script tonight and you and Mimi can play."

Wang Quan took the script over and said, "That won't work. On New Year's Eve, of course our family of three must be neat and tidy. You can read the script on the way tomorrow."

On the night of New Year’s Eve, many filmmakers couldn’t sleep.

After painstaking calculations by various theaters, a total of 550,000 shows were scheduled across the country on New Year's Day, a full 100,000 more than in 2018!

In many cinemas, the time between two shows is reduced to only five minutes, and the time between commercials and closing credits is not even allowed to play.

After all, every additional game will bring in thousands of dollars more income, which will add up to an employee’s monthly salary.

Among them, the top ranked film is still "Zhu Xian 3" with 18.5%, followed by "Tang Detective 3" with 17.8%.

"Crazy Alien" is considered the third seed, receiving 13.3% of the film schedule.

After that, "Mermaid 2" 11.7%, "The Righteous One" 11.2%, and "Flying Life" 10.6%. These are the backbone. There are many fans who like them, but they all feel unsatisfied. There are too few films in the schedule and there is simply not enough. .

"Detective Pu Songling" 6.1%, netizens just think that there are too many queues, which is a waste.

"Bear Bears: The Original Age" is the worst, with only 3.9% of the films scheduled, which is just a few more than "Peppa Pig's New Year" and "Integrity", but the pre-sales have left these two far behind. .

Although it has not officially opened yet, the total pre-sales on the first day of the Lunar New Year has reached an astonishing 850 million!

Many viewers choose to buy tickets in advance to save on not having a good seat when the time comes.

All ten movies were released as scheduled, and none of them were withdrawn. Now it is too late to withdraw.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, before dawn, Liu Yifei rubbed her sore waist and prepared to get up to participate in the busy publicity work.

"Tang Detective 3" is ahead of "Zhu Xian 3" in pre-sales. Xu Laoguai is very anxious and can only count on Xian Mi's strong box office appeal.

As a result, there was no old man in Yang Mi's family, and he was very filial, so he couldn't promote it, which meant that the appeal of Xian Mi's union was reduced by half. Of course, he was anxious.

After experiencing two Spring Festival stalls, "Zhu Xian" suppressed two popular works, "Mermaid" and "Operation Red Sea" respectively, and both were the Spring Festival stall champions that year. Mr. Xu hopes that this fine tradition can be maintained.

Xiao Xianmi woke up a little later than Xian's mother, and then she disappeared.

However, Mother Xian left a red envelope for herself and later asked Sister Mi to help her deposit it into her private account.

After calculating the time in Los Angeles, it was daytime, so she called her sister Alice and paid New Year's greetings to Gadot's mother.

Gadot's mother immediately sent a red envelope to her account for transfer. It was still a US dollar, and she would have foreign exchange reserves in the future.

Then there is Sister Little K and Sister Taozi.

At this time, Dad and Sister Mi also woke up, and Xiao Xianmi jumped directly onto their bed and started kowtowing.

Wang Quan and Yang Mi, who were preparing for morning exercises, were frightened away from their interest and sent the girl away with the red envelopes they had prepared in advance.

Then Yang Mi asked: "Are you still recovering?"

"It's already eight o'clock, what else are you doing?" Wang Quan lifted up the quilt and got up to prepare breakfast.

Since Yang Mi's parents had just passed away, they didn't have to go to pay New Year greetings. They just went to Lao Wang's place and had nothing else to do today. Even their daughter was left with them.

The couple stared at each other at home for a long time, and Wang Quan's phone rang. Someone asked him out.

Wang Quan looked at Mimi, and Mimi snorted, "Go, go."

Zhou Ye, Zhiling and others had just finished the Spring Festival Gala last night, and Reba had already started to promote it, but the two of them had nothing to do, so they invited Wang Quan to be their guest.

Zhou Ye said: Our boss is also here~

Wang Quan said helplessly to Mimi: "Three are missing one, and it's hard to refuse such a kind invitation."

Yang Mi couldn't go out, so she had to watch movies at home. She could watch any new movie during the Spring Festival.

But it was so boring to watch it by herself, so she opened WeChat and started calling friends.

~

At Zhiling's house, Pang Bing and Zhou Ye had been waiting for a long time, and the mahjong table was already set up, waiting for Wang Quan.

Wang Quan deliberately wore a few more clothes when he went out, after all, strip mahjong, more clothes are an advantage.

But I didn't expect Pang Bing to be so unkind, wearing layer after layer of stockings.

Since she was playing dirty, Wang Quan deliberately punished her by giving it to Zhiling and Yezi, but not to her.

She was so greedy!

After saving energy at Pang Bing's place, Wang Quan started his tour.

Shishi resisted the temptation of Yang Mi's invitation and finally waited for Wang Quan's appointment.

Sister Zilin also withdrew from the family gathering and with Wang Quan.

Of course, Nazha was indispensable. Wang Quan still had dinner at her place and accompanied her to watch a movie before going home.

Nazha had already bought the couple's special seats in advance. The small hall could accommodate about 10 couples and a group of three people, and the average ticket price was over 100.

The small theater was full, and there was a pair of male brothers sitting together. I don't know if they couldn't buy other tickets or because they were really a couple.

The movie Nazha chose was "Mermaid 2". She just wanted to watch a light comedy.

Wang Quan took some time to take a look at the box office that day, which has exceeded 1.7 billion. The average box office of "Zhu Xian 3" and "Tang Detective 3" has exceeded 100, and there is still room for growth.

However, the box office of "Zhu Xian 3" has not yet exceeded 400 million, and "Tang Detective 3" has just exceeded 400 million, and its performance is not as good as last year's top "Monster Hunt 2" and "Zhu Xian 2".

Or there are too few screenings~

"The Mermaid 2" is a very fresh movie for Wang Quan. It is the first time to watch it, and I have not seen other versions. The original time and space did not release this movie until 2025.

It is said that because it was shot too badly and the commercial prospects were not optimistic, in order not to minimize the loss, the post-production was not done.

Warner Bros. in Hollywood also had "Batgirl" in a similar operation, which was destroyed directly after filming, so that it could lose less.

For this reason, Wang Quan was very cautious about "The Mermaid 2" and lowered his expectations very low, but he was still disappointed.

"This is too ugly!"

Reba still plays the mermaid in the first film, and Allen plays her son. Because of the special physique of mermaids, Reba ages slowly, so the son looks older than his mother, and many jokes are based on this.

As for the role of Deng Chao, he has passed away. Before his death, he used genetic technology to make him and Reba have a love child, and Deng Chao also played the role of this dead ghost.

Alan's role can be said to be very similar to his father. His every move imitates the pretentious style of Deng Chao in the previous film, and at the same time integrates the fool attribute in his own characteristics.

He is good at being a supporting role, but he is not good enough to take the lead. "The Shameful Iron Fist" is also because of Ma Li's support.

But Reba's comedy skills are not as good as Ma Li's, so the two young people are not good enough in Zhou's nonsensical comedy.

And Shen Teng did not integrate well into Zhou's comedy atmosphere. His comedy style is also unique to him. Hard integration will only cause division and embarrassment.

In addition, the story rhythm is not good, and the production seems to be rushed, which makes people feel uneasy in the end.

Even if Wang Quan is more tolerant of comedy, he can only give it six points.

To be honest, this movie is much better than "The New King of Comedy", and the mother-son stalk of the old son and the stepmother also created a few laughs.

But there is still some gap from the first "The Mermaid", not to mention the peak of "Kung Fu".

As soon as this film is released, the so-called Star Master is afraid that he will also be disenchanted. If he can't make changes in his next movie, he can only wait to be abandoned by the market.

It can also be seen from the real-time square of Weibo that, except for the supporting roles with less than 10% of the screenings, the most negative reviews are "The Mermaid 2".

In the crowded Spring Festival period, once the word of mouth turns over, the opponents will attack you. They will not give you a chance to breathe, but will only take the opportunity to divide your market share.

At this time, Lianrui Pictures, which has a guaranteed minimum of 2.8 billion to release "The Mermaid 2", is trembling.

According to the minimum guarantee contract, they have to give nearly 900 million to the producer of "The Mermaid 2".

But judging from the reputation, whether the box office can reach 900 million in the end is a question.

This wave may lose several hundred million!

Wang Baoqiang, the boss of Lekaihua Pictures, is also trembling.

In addition to "The Mermaid 2", which has a lot of negative reviews, "Crazy Alien" and "Detective Chinatown 3" also have a lot of negative reviews.

Lekaihua also invested in "Detective Chinatown 3", but it is only a small shareholder, and the reputation did not affect the box office. It still led the Spring Festival period, and the pre-sale on the second day of the New Year was also the first. The screening schedule also increased, so this investment should not be a loss.

But "Crazy Alien" is different.

At the beginning, seeing the golden lineup of Ning Hao + Shen Teng + Huang Bo + Xu Zheng, Bao Qiang felt that this movie could break 3 billion with his eyes closed, so he guaranteed 2.8 billion to obtain the distribution rights of this movie, and then cooperated with Guangguang Media to distribute it.

As a result, he didn't compete with "Zhu Xian 3" and "Tang Detective 3" when competing for the screening. Now that it has been released, the word of mouth is not as good as "Zhu Xian 3" and "Flying Life". It seems that it is impossible to make a comeback by word of mouth.

Although it is not as bad as "Mermaid 2", it is probably difficult to reach the goal of 2.8 billion.

As expected, people can't make money beyond cognition. The capital game is too terrible!

Now Bao Qiang wants to stop the promotion of "Tang Detective 3" and go to help "Crazy Alien".

Not to mention Chen Gou Haoran, even the two Sakura girls can see his anxiety.

The two thought that their movies had a bad reputation.

Later, I asked Wang Quan's former assistant, Zhang Tianai, a Japanese expert, and she said: It's not really that good, but it's not particularly bad either. It's just that the second part is not as good as the first part, and the third part is not as good as the second part.

After all, it's a script certified by Wang Quan, so it can't be that bad.

"Oh, and Yui-chan's performance is considered very good by netizens, especially those few Chinese sentences. Everyone praised you for speaking very authentically." Zhang Tianai added.

Nagasawa Masami hurriedly asked: "What about me, what about me?"

Zhang Tianai: "You speak Japanese very well, awesome!"

Nagasawa Masami: "..."

It was already past nine when Wang Quan and Nazha came out of the cinema. She glanced at the ratings on Maoyan.

"Oh, I should have watched "Zhu Xian 3" earlier." This movie is the first in Maoyan's ratings, and "The Mermaid 2" is not at the bottom either. There are also "Detective Pu Songling", "Peppa Pig's New Year" and "Integrity" behind it.

These three movies have nothing to offer. Even though they spent money to secure the screening schedule, the screening schedule and pre-sale on the second day of the Chinese New Year have been reduced again and again.

Wang Quan said: "It doesn't matter what you watch, but who you watch it with is the most important. Okay, let's go home and go to bed early."

The two had sex before going out, but Nazha was still reluctant to leave, so she drove Wang Quan back to Yang Mi and had sex again in the underground garage of Yang Mi's house, and then drove away in a sports car.

This move is quite provocative, but Nazha is actually mainly greedy for excitement.

After Nazha's car left, Wang Quan walked to a car that was not his own and knocked on the window.

"Did you enjoy watching it just now..."

(Please give me some monthly tickets!)
