The year 2000 is almost over, and the domestic film market is in dire straits.

Among the blockbusters, there is one that is inconspicuous, and that is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which brought together two superstars, Fa Ge, Michelle Yeoh, and Zhang Ziyi, a newcomer to the girl hunt, and got 15 million.

box office?

Note that this includes all the box office in Hong Kong and Macau. In the end, I didn’t even recognize my mother. The only psychological comfort is that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was shortlisted for the Oscars and received 10 nominations.

At home in Beijing, Rong Guang is preparing to go to the United States, also because it is the awards season in the United States.

"Mom, your son did it on purpose." Yuan Quan complained to Qi Xiulian while chewing an apple, "He just wants to find an actress outside, and now he starts to dislike me."

After taking a look at Yuanquan's big belly, Qi Xiulian pretended to slap Rongguang a few times: "Guangzi, don't you have any fancy ideas? Mom only wants Quanquan. If you dare to do bad things, get out of the house!"

Seeing Yuan Quan being so proud, Rong Guang was happy: "Don't you like idol dramas?"

"Do you want to take care of it? I just like "Benevolent Doctor"." Yuan Quan was like a silkworm baby. After reading the script of "Benevolent Doctor", Yuan Quan burst into tears. In the past few days, she has been having troubles

Woolen cloth.

"You can't act even if you like it? Haha. You can't let a pregnant woman fall in love?"

"You just mean it!" Yuan Quan was furious. Did the young master actually dare to talk back?

"Baby, will you make up a play for Quanquan in the future?" Qi Xiulian on the side quickly smoothed things over.

Rong Guang knew in his heart that Xiao Quanquan was just using an excuse to act coquettishly. He said happily: "Haha, there is no problem in arranging a new drama for her. It's just Quanquan's vision... haha."

"What's wrong with my taste?" Yuan Quan yelled angrily, "The thing I have the worst taste for is you!"

"Okay!" Holding back his smile, Rong Guang was ready to leave for the airport.

"Rong Guang!" Yuan Quan pointed with a green finger, "Get Oscar back for me, otherwise don't enter this house! Humph!"

"It's your order! Yellow-faced woman!"

"Bad guy! Who are you calling a yellow-faced woman?"

"Hahaha!"

…

Due to the sudden release of "Parasite", this film is still a standout in European and American media.

So far, the North American box office of "Parasite" has reached 144 million, and it is still being released on a small scale, striving to exceed 150 million. The global box office has exceeded 250 million, reaching 267 million.

You know, this is an art film. With such a high box office, filmmakers around the world have been stunned. In addition to lamenting Leonardo's invincible charm, it also put director Oliver Stone and the film on the altar.

Especially in the United States, Leonardo and Oliver Stone have become American heroes. They are not the kind of American heroes who just won Cannes, but top-notch American heroes. If I use one word to describe it, it is

Awesome! Two words to describe it, it’s awesome! Three words to describe it, it’s really awesome!

The other actors in the crew have also risen sharply. I won't go into details here. Anyway, after the theater guarantor, the net worth of all actors has skyrocketed.

Not long ago, "One Long Shot 2 (Protagonist and Supporting Role)" was also released around the world. Building on the foundation of "One Long Shot 1," a hurricane immediately blew up.

This is originally a top-notch comedy script. Moreover, this film has no cultural barriers. It is an anti-Japanese drama within a play, which can resonate with people all over the world. At most, the little devil in the book is replaced by a German devil. And it is about making a movie.

, a great cross-dressing between the protagonist and the supporting role.

Especially in the overseas promotion, Rong Guang was mentioned in the first episode. It attracted many European and American audiences.

Therefore, after its release, the North American box office received 87 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was as high as 227 million.

Suddenly, many people were surprised to discover that Rong Guang actually had a high market value. The films he starred in have exceeded the US$200 million mark twice this year? There is no doubt that Rong Guang's market value has been greatly underestimated.

In the blink of an eye, Rong Guang's Hollywood salary has risen to 10 million, officially entering the 10 million club. And this data has extremely symbolic significance. It proves that Rong Guang has become a first-line star in Hollywood. Referring to the influence of Hollywood in the world, this is also

He is also a global A-list star.

Of course, there are still 20 million clubs above. But those are the top players. They have completely surpassed the first line and condensed their godhood.

However, "Parasite" has become popular overseas, and there is also a film that has become very popular in China.

When "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" received 10 Oscar nominations, it immediately detonated the domestic media. That's an Oscar! The jewel in the movie crown - Oscar!

It may be difficult for people today to understand the Oscar complex of this era.

Let’s put it this way! During this period, Lao Mouzi already felt that Europe’s top three movies were worthless. But when he woke up, he was surprised to find that compared with the domestic popularity of Oscar, the top three movies in Europe were nothing!

And after watching "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Lao Mouzi felt that I could have sex with him. This is not a rumor. Just look at what Jiang Wen said - "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was filmed in the 20s

Martial arts movies from years ago!

There is no denying the excellence of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". But Jiang Wen is not a big talker, and has never had the bad habit of shooting guns everywhere. This shows that in fact, the first-class directors in China and Hong Kong won the award for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"

Not very convinced.

Of course, there were a lot of hindsight later. In the end, I came to the conclusion that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is actually a martial arts film made for European and American audiences. Its connotation is European and American concepts, and it is an art film.

But there is a more important reason, and there is no need to deny it - Li An graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. This is one of the three major art schools in the United States, and he is a direct descendant of Hollywood!

In any case, Zhang Yimou was very unconvinced at that time. But he never made blind comparisons and just took action directly. Later, he made the blockbuster "Hero".

Everyone should know that starting from "Hero", China Entertainment Movies has entered the blockbuster era.

Later, another famous director, Chen Kaige, was also very unconvinced, and he was fine with me, so he made "The Promise". In the end... let's not mention it!

Therefore, the blockbuster era of China Entertainment Films actually originated from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". It is because of the domestic Oscar complex that famous domestic directors are competing for it.

The funny thing is that these famous directors were actually competing for the Oscar, but they never won it in the end. Instead, it was Li An who later won the Oscar for Best Director twice.
