Half a month later, Monster Police was officially released, with a final box office of 790 million.
The Douban score is locked at 7.6. Su Ze had expected this result. It may be because it requires money to buy tickets, and the audience is far more demanding about movies than TV series.
Is this why it’s so difficult for a movie to get a rating above 8.5?
The cumulative box office revenue of the two films, Summer War and National Day, has exceeded 1.5 billion. Both Bona and Lam are very satisfied. After all, the investment is not big and they have made a lot of money.
It may seem inferior to the Red Sea and the Mekong River, but the investment in war movies can easily exceed 100 million, and various resources must be used. Even Fatty Yu must be cautious.
The investment in Guild Wars was only 40 million, and the demon police was only just over 50 million. The total amount was only 100 million. In the end, I got 1.5 billion, so I didn’t need a bicycle.
As director Lin Chaoxian, I am even more satisfied, especially the fierce battle, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of a long-cherished wish for many years. As a tribute to the dream of MMA fans, I did not expect to gain both fame and fortune in the end and become one of the classics.
"We are only 2 billion away from the 10 billion movie star." Kong Xue said with excitement: "It all depends on Changjin Lake and Wushuang during the Spring Festival next year."
"Do you have any confidence?"
Su Ze responded lazily, "You should ask Fatty Yu if you have the confidence to repay your capital after investing more than one billion yuan?"
Of course, whether it is Changjin Lake or Wushuang, especially Wushuang, the box office should not be bad. Su Ze is more optimistic about the latter, who makes himself known as the king of suspense.
"Don't worry, I will be covered with a gold statue this year!"
"It may be a little difficult to win the award, but there is a 100% chance of being nominated!"
"Brother, just wait and see!"
Listening to Fatty Yu vowing to reciprocate his love, Su Ze smiled and agreed that it was a good thing to be shortlisted. After all, he was not Jet Li, and Fatty Yu was not Chen Jiashang.
Lin Chaoxian also promised that he would work hard and win at least one award for Guild Wars and Demon Police, otherwise he, Demon Lin, would be too embarrassed.
And Zhang Jiahui, as long as he is nominated and shortlisted, Zha Zhahui has been around for so many years, right?
It’s definitely impossible to win an award. This year’s goal is to be nominated. It’s best to be nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Guild Wars. As for the Demon Cop, can he be nominated for Best Actor?
It all depends on fate.
I have specifically studied the rules of the Academy Awards, but there is no other way. I will cooperate with the director team there in the future. This is the basic operation.
The work is required to have at least six staff working on Hong Kong Island residents, calculated based on sixteen working items: producer, screenwriter, leading actor, leading actress, supporting actor, supporting actress, new actor, photography, action designer, art director
, costume styling, editing, original film music, original film songs, sound effects and visual effects.
This is still the result of a compromise. You must know that in the past, the certification qualifications for Hong Kong films required more than half of all types of work.
In recent years, as top talents such as Star Wars and Tsui Hark have moved north, the annual output of so-called purely Hong Kong films does not exceed forty.
Fortunately, most of the films co-produced by China and Hong Kong meet the standards, otherwise it would not be easy for the Academy Awards to fill up the nomination list!
In this situation, the chairman of the jury, Chen Jiashang, is still showing off, saying that the purpose of the Academy Awards is to provide local films, and if the blood is not pure, then it will not be held at all.
Therefore, the background must be Hong Kong Island, and the story must be localized. Whether it is "Cold War", "The Overheard" or "Thieves of Time", it is the best.
Last year's The Great Tree was not even released in the mainland.
Su Ze looked at the list of last year's winners. Best Actress Hui Yinghong is 57 years old, Best Actor Lam Jiadong is 50 years old, supporting actor Eric Tsang is 64 years old, and supporting actress Jin Yanling is 63 years old...
Average age fifty-eight?
Most of the movie stars are after the age of forty, especially in the past ten years, they are all in their fifties.
Thinking of this, Su Ze had a toothache. Not to mention that it would be difficult to win an award this year, even if the golden statue really gave him the best actor title...
I’m too embarrassed to take it!
Age is not allowed!
"This is the probability of winning Best Actors over the years that I compiled." Shishi handed over a form.
Su Ze took it and took a look, good guy, Brother Fa was nominated fifteen times, and he only won three times?
Tony Leung Ka Fai, the actor with a thousand faces, was nominated fourteen times and only won four times?
Liu Tianwang, a ten thousand year model worker, was nominated only three times out of thirteen times?
Darling, Lau Ching Wan was nominated sixteen times, the last two times?
Seeing Brother Cheng Long being nominated ten times but getting nothing in the end, Su Ze was stunned!
Nicholas Tse, the youngest actor born in the 1980s, is now obsessed with cooking?
"The second person to win the Academy Award for Actor so far is..." Shishi added: "Qianxi Boy's Best Newcomer Award."
Su Ze nodded. He still recognized that Xiao Bei, portrayed by Qian Xi, could win the Newcomer Award. It was also the highest peak of his acting skills since his debut. As for the future...
Although it is not mature enough and even has overly dramatic body movements, putting these on the characters in the play is actually an advantage.
Rough but fierce, full of wild power, it is more contagious than any conventional performance method.
This is the benefit of meeting the right role.
Of course, Zhou Dongyu's performance is remarkable, and in Su Ze's opinion, it is also the pinnacle, even better than July and Ansheng that year.
In fact, I really look forward to working with her, but I never have the chance. It takes fate to see her acting skills on the set.
November came unknowingly, and just when Su Ze thought this year was about to pass, he suddenly received a call from Zhuang Wenqiang, saying that he had a script that he wanted to read?
"Weng Ziguang?" Su Ze heard the director's name and it sounded familiar. He seemed to have filmed a movie called Zombie.
"He is a very thoughtful young man. You can talk about it yourself." Zhuang Wenqiang didn't say much. Helping others to match others is a routine operation. It was through Lin Chaoxian's introduction that he had the opportunity to cooperate with Su Ze.
Especially in Hong Kong Island, it is customary for the seniors to support their juniors, and when they encounter a good script, they may even contribute their own money and efforts. Otherwise, the small Hong Kong Island film industry would not have developed to what it is today.
Through Wushuang, I discovered that Su Ze is a huge treasure. Both his acting skills and aesthetics are top-notch. What's more, he is not only an actor. Kanazawa is top-notch in terms of investment and promotion. If there is a new director who can catch his eye...
Save ten years of detours!
I liked the script after reading it and admired Weng Ziguang, so I took the initiative to match him. I hope Su Ze will give me a chance. I also believe in the character of the other person. As long as it is a good script, I am willing to try any role.
This is what a true actor pursues.
After hanging up the phone, Su Ze had some expectations. As a gold medal screenwriter, Zhuang Wenqiang must have good taste. Even he said that the script he liked was definitely worth looking forward to.
I also watched Weng Ziguang's Zombie back then, starring Qian Xiaohao and Chen You, who were the disciples and junior brothers of Uncle Jiu at that time. It paid homage to the classics while creating new ideas. Su Ze liked it very much.
Especially the last few words that Zhuang Wenqiang said turned out to be a B-level movie?
