Chen Tiandu has been shortlisted for the Oscar for two consecutive years and has won some results.

But the competition for the Little Golden People in the past years has never been a trivial matter. Now that the "commercial film" has already made "Infernal Affairs" inherently deficient, which is undoubtedly a major disadvantage of "Infernal Affairs". However, the public praise of this film is "Chen Tiandu's best work", "a brand new criminal classic", "completely subverting bad people's unlucky urban epic", "a commercial art film with epic temperament" and other comments are actually exciting.

Some media have even begun to boldly estimate that "Infernal Affairs" will have a very strong finalist in the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film, Best Film, Director, Screenplay, Leader, Supporting Actor, Editing, Soundtrack, Photography and other departments next year.

Chen Tian shook his head when he saw these speculative reports about the Oscars. He knew that he had little chance next year. Even if he had the chance, he would probably be in a fight with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to compete for the pitiful award. There were strong enemies everywhere, but they wanted to start an internal fight that hurts the vitality. This was not his original intention.

In addition, "Gladiator" is also an epic masterpiece with a length of 170 minutes. It is a rare heroic movie. What's even more rare is that it portrays the characters as such a soulful and revengeful savior, teaching men how to be men. The male protagonist Russell Crow is so stylish in the movie, exuding a hormonal smell from beginning to end, and even the big snot flying under his wife's feet is amazing.

So much so that the movie was released for more than a month, it was still the rival of "Infernal Affairs".

Moreover, since this film, the trend of making epic hero blockbusters has begun in the United States. It has a very strong influence.

Of course. This year has just passed halfway through. No one knows what changes will happen in the second half of the year except Chen Tian. Not to mention "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the genius director Steven Soderbergh just released a well-known and popular "Never Compromise" in the first half of the year. This movie joined forces with two Oscar winner Julia Roberts, who is also a strong contender for the next Oscar. Moreover, he has a masterpiece "Drug Network" that has lasted for many years in the second half of the year. Before this movie was released, the media has been circulating and has a good reputation.

If you look back at the cast of "Infernal Affairs", except for Chen Tian, ​​who is a little famous, the other actors are all newcomers in the United States, and the probability of winning the award has been reduced again.

Really... there is little hope.

But it is too early to think of winning the award at this time. The most important thing is to prevent the movie from being popular. In addition to the hot reviews of the newspapers and media, the official website of "Infernal Affairs", which was gradually cooled down, was once again popular, and countless excited viewers returned here to post crazily.

"We were fooled, there weren't a few swear words in the movie. But the lines are pretty cool."

"It's obvious that three years have been agreed upon, three years have passed, three years have passed, three years have passed, and three years have passed, it's almost ten years old." "Come out. You're not going to blow my head or I'm going to blow your head." "You didn't kill that kid even with six shots, you're a good person." "...I'm the one who tells you who can beat who can't beat!"

“Wow.Cool!”

The first wave of viewers who watched the movie could not help but feel excited. They wrote down their feelings on the official website BBS, vented themselves, and discussed with people who had the same feelings. According to statistics, after the first day of the release, the number of new posts on the official BBS reached 485,402 within 24 hours, and the number of new comments exceeded 8.05 million in 24 hours, and the click rate increased directly to tens of millions, which was no less than a popular website.

People also saw the powerful power of Google's recommended advertisements and contacted the company one after another, hoping that they could also link their website advertisements. Unfortunately, this is impossible, after all, there is only one Google boss.

The first time the online movie fans exchanged their feelings about the movie "Infernal Affairs" was that many people "showed two thumbs up", and words such as "unexpected", "super cool", "epic", and "classic" have become one of the important tags for summer vacation June. On the imdb website, "Infernal Affairs", but the rapid surge in the number of voters also shows the popularity of this movie, especially on the Internet.

The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes website was once as high as 90%, and finally it gradually dropped back to 80% level, 85%.

With this growth rate and score, it will soon enter the scoring formula of film history to be more rigorous and strict. Only the voting of "regular voters" will be calculated. As for what "regular voters" are, Imdb is not clearly defined. It is probably because of the long registration time, voted for at least a thousand movies, and has good voting records and serious attitudes. They determine the t50 score of the movie. This has prevented the company, fans from swiping votes, and some random votes, which is also the reason why this list is authoritative.

Therefore, the top50 score is often lower than the main page score, just like "The Sixth Sense", which is almost ranked in the same score range of 150-200.

, For a plot movie with a police and gangster theme, this is definitely a surprising number. You should know "Gladiator". This is also related to the short release time and the small number of ratings, but at least the first group of viewers have handed over their own answers first. "Infernal Affairs" is completely weak in terms of director, starring, story, soundtrack, etc., with "Gladiator".

This is not a movie that relies on stars. The fact that it can achieve this rating depends on undisputed quality.

The rest depends on whether the box office can help. As long as the box office is not bad, such a reputation will be at least nominated for the Oscar next year.

There has never been a rookie period in Hollywood, and this sentence is true at all. Every time you are suitable for making money, Hollywood big brands will come out to grab money. The summer seasons from May to August are crowded with blockbusters, and new big-name movies are released every day, which is dazzling.

Can "Infernal Affairs" successfully break through? Does the Internet virus marketing, which has always been good at, work in this foreign language film? What proportion of viewers who can convert super high clicks into the cinema to choose it?

Chen Tian doesn't come to the company often. This is a fact. Even when "The Matrix" was released, he had never paid so much attention to box office growth, and today is obviously an exception.

North American cinemas and production companies have a timely box office, that is, feedback form is given once an hourly response. The external media reports are usually weekend statistics or weekly statistics. Chen Tian had a clear idea before and was reluctant to pay close attention to these things.

Chen Tiandu sat quietly in the office to revise the script, but assistant secretary Niu Yingying walked around outside, as if he was idle. After a while, he hurriedly stepped on her little leather boots and clattered throughout the company. Everyone in the company was paying attention to the boss's office. He delivered reports to the office one by one, and reported every hour.

"Boss, it's coming again."

"Fifty thousand, eighty thousand, thirty thousand, twenty thousand..." There were a lot of reports, and Chen Tian was lazy to read it. "You can calculate it and see the specific data." The statistics are very specific, not only including box office data, but also the age group, gender ratio, etc. The entire audience is 17-25-year-olds account for the majority. But gradually the proportion of the 25-35-year-olds began to increase. Interestingly, the proportion of women who have always lacked is very stable. It is estimated that most of them are for Chen Tiandu.

Chen Tian is thinking about the women's market. It seems that he is not attached to this area. So many handsome men in the movie can at least attract Chinese female audiences.

It is also because of the hype point of virus publicity, which uses "swearing" as a hype point, and keeps female audiences out for nothing. Since we have found a solution, we will hold a meeting immediately and convene everyone to discuss and try to make up for it.

"Duoduo's promotion and the anti-confrontation between the website, we are not a swearing movie, but a cool line."

Kong Yiji simply said: "Old Chen, you might as well take another set of promotional photos and post them. The effect is much more obvious than other promotional ones."

"Go to die." Chen Tian refused without even thinking about it.

The newly appointed publicity director Doramick agrees with Kong Yiji's proposal, "I think this method is very good. After all, the promotional selling point of the movie is only you. If you don't participate in the publicity, we will get half the result with twice the effort." He is the former business manager of Lionsgate Pictures, but he is good at hype and is best at making big profits with small profits and helping Lionsgate Pictures make great contributions many times. Later, the company's internal competition failed, and he left Lionsgate and is now discovered by headhunter and joining the matrix.

Chen Tiandu hesitated this time, "Then... plan it."

"It's out, and the box office statistics are all out in one day." The crisp sound of leather boots sounded outside again, and everyone was also very concerned. Chen Tian quickly took the report from Niu Yingying and looked at it carefully. Everyone calmed down and waited for him to reveal the answer. After a while, Chen Tian was expressionless and threw the report on the table, "Let's take a look together."

Kong Yiji and Peck reached out to grab the game almost at the same time. Kong Yiji's increasingly obese buttocks pushed open the chair and slowed down one step to let Peck grab the game first. The guy immediately grinned with great shame.

"Wow~~" Peck laughed. "How about it, how about it?" Everyone asked.

"We succeeded on Friday's first-day box office of $9.8 million."

"Wow~~" A cheer suddenly erupted in the office.

This is an incredible number, especially for a Chinese-language movie. There are 2,850 theaters in North America. On average, each theater's box office must reach at least $3,438 to make the first Friday box office record of $9.8 million... The news soon spread throughout the company, and everyone was talking about it.

But when he turned to look for the boss and asked the boss to treat him, he found that Chen Tian had already left in advance with Niu Yingying.

When he came to Lao Niu's restaurant, Master Niu cooked himself and made a table of private dishes for Chen Tiandu. He had his belly full and he left with satisfaction. Then he remembered to send a message to friends who were concerned about the results of the movie, telling them that the box office on the first day was booming!

"Brother Hua, the box office on Friday is 9.8 million US dollars. You don't rush to go back early. I'll move to my new home on Monday to hold a party. Come and celebrate together. The new home is on the beach in the Marbury area. If you can't find a place, I'll ask someone to pick you up."

"Nei, Boom Thunder, what are you doing now? Help me buy some ingredients to deliver here. It's useless if you don't know the way. I'll ask Niu Yingying to find you."

Then he invited a few of his friends he met in Hollywood. The idol had to ask whether he was busy or not. After all, his relationship with him was pretty good. Then Fan Baldy asked Kong Yiji to find him, but he didn't know how he asked the person he was looking for, but it didn't matter. Once "Infernal Affairs" passed, he should have taken action himself.
