885: I'm so sorry
Of course, if you only judge the movie by box office, it is unfair to "The Flowers of War" for "The Flowers of War" to any movie.
The scene of "The Flowers of War" is still extravagant as ever, with a production cost of up to 100 million US dollars, which is already the most expensive movie in the Chinese-language film market today. Not only did it invite outstanding Hollywood actor Christian Bale to join, it also has very good special effects. The visual effect also confirms the film's spending of 100 million US dollars, which is gorgeous and stylized, especially the scene where the capital was torn apart by war and explosion at that time, which really caught people.
But that's all. Li Donglai specially asked someone to get a CD from the mainland and took advantage of the weekend to read it with his wife at home.
"Maybe I can win the best foreign language film nomination, I may win the award if I have good luck." He always believed that "Jinling" wanted to regain costs in the West.
"oppa, is this the movie you invested in?" Yoona blinked in a daze.
Her Chinese is not as hard as reading the whole Chinese without any effort, and it is a bit difficult to watch this movie with Li Donglai.
"What do you think?" Li Donglai asked back without answering.
Yoona said: "The special effects are very wonderful, a great movie, and it makes people feel heartbreaking and touching. The heroine played a great role."
Li Donglai nodded without comment and looked at Emma. Emma was very swaying, giving him no face at all, and said: "I can't understand without English subtitles. I guess I won't be interested in it in the West. Anyway, I want to go to bed halfway through it. Don't blame me for hitting you. Your movie should be invested a lot, don't lose money."
Li Donglai smiled "hehe", "It's not my business to lose money, this is not my movie."
Emma said oh, feeling relieved, "It's so sleepy, I really want to sleep." She yawned.
The special effects of war scenes have been left in Hollywood. In addition, this movie tells the story of China's war, and the national bias is very strong. It is really difficult to let Westerners watch such a backstory movie.
Li Donglai smiled and said, "Then go to bed. It's time for you to learn Chinese. When the child was born, I wanted to bring you to China for maternity and childbirth."
"What..." Emma suddenly became energetic, "Why do you have to go to China to have a birth?"
Li Donglai said: "Because China does not have dual nationality, most Western countries have it. China has risen and will occupy an increasingly important position in the global economic system in the future. The most important thing is that I have many industries there. If the child is not Chinese nationality, it may be inconvenient in the future."
Emma was stunned, "Then whatever you want, I don't care about nationality." She herself has many nationalities, and her views on nationality are not as stubborn as Chinese people.
When Yoona saw them talking about the children, she couldn't help but grin, and hesitated for a moment but didn't say anything.
Li Donglai was no longer the same as before. He keenly discovered Yoona's psychological fluctuations, lowered his head and smiled, "What's wrong? I want to say but stop. Do we have anything else to say?"
Emma was also curious to look at her. Yoona hesitated for a moment, her heart was nervous, and her slender hands were pinched together with some anxiety. She pinched her knuckles and turned white, muttering: "It should be more than a month since I counted it. My good friend this time seems...it really hasn't been here for a long time..."
"What?" Li Donglai shouted.
Although her voice became smaller and smaller, Li Donglai's mental perception was too strong, and they were not far apart from each other, so it was difficult for him to not hear it. Although the voice was small, it was like thunder in his ears. He was stunned on the spot, as if he was stunned.
Li Donglai is no longer Chu Ge, and he even made Emma's belly bigger before, but after experiencing this kind of thing again, he found that he was still at a loss and completely unprepared.
But Li Donglai's performance made Yoona even more nervous. She was still a girl. If she didn't become a star, she would still be in college for one year before she graduated. The most important thing is, what should I do when Girls' Generation? What should the sisters think when they hear that they are pregnant? If they have a big belly and go to the newspaper at that time... they dare not think about it. She was a little nervous and even cried and said, "Oppa, what should I do? Do I want to abort?"
Li Donglai was a man after all, although he was not used to having both girlfriends big belly so early that he would immediately hold more than one child. At least he quickly stabilized himself, touched her little face with both hands to comfort her nervous mood.
"Wow, is it true? Haha, it's fun now. You two guys don't take me seriously and make out intimate anytime and anywhere." Emma was a little surprised and joked.
He also reached out and touched Yoona's belly, "Have you checked the doctor?"
Yoona's face flushed and she stammered: "No, I dare not go alone, nor dare to tell anyone."
When she was in South Korea, she really didn't even dare to go to see a gynecology department. She didn't even dare to go to buy a pregnancy test paper. She was afraid that the news would be leaked accidentally, and then the whole country was in an uproar.
When I saw Li Donglai, I was always worried about gains and losses. I felt that it should be the case, but I didn't dare to confirm it.
"Then you have to check with a doctor."
Emma was talking as if she was a person who had come. Seeing that Li Donglai was still confused, she couldn't help but punch him, "Why are you stunned? Go and call Dr. Kelly quickly, you have to confirm it."
My heart was a little sour.
Li Donglai has treated her better during this period and takes care of her meticulously. This is all due to pregnancy. Now Yoona is pregnant, and this care will be divided. "Now both of them have children, will they really have to live in the same room in the future?" She always felt a little strange in her heart.
"Oh," Li Donglai finally reacted and stood up to make a call.
The doctor came a while later, and the examination results came out soon. In a nervous mood, Kelly nodded, "Congratulations, it's about a month. Miss Yoona should pay more attention to rest in the future. You are now a pregnant woman..."
Li Donglai was confused and he didn't even remember what the doctor said later.
Yoona was hoping to look up at him. When she saw this expression, her nose suddenly felt sore and tears fell from her eyes. "Does he not want children like this? Maybe he doesn't love me so much..."
"Hey, you bastard, you're dazed again." Emma finally got angry and shouted at him.
Li Donglai was awakened by the crying and instantly woke up, "What's wrong? Don't cry, baby, what's wrong..."
"Oppa, you, don't you want kids?"
"Who said that?" Li Donglai sighed, "Although you two caught me off guard when you were pregnant together, it would be no pressure to raise you." Suddenly, something came to my mind, "We were intimate in the woods just now, it would not affect our stomachs."
Emma said strangely: "What kind of woods? Okay, I'm secretly playing with me on my back, hum!"
Yoona's face turned red, and she also remembered the ridiculousness just now, "No, the doctor said it was still early, and it would not affect it within two months."
Li Donglai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then... let's do it again. Maybe the child is almost arm or something now?" "How is that possible?" Yuna felt ridiculous. Emma even grabbed his ears, "You yin thief, where have you been to the physiological and hygiene class? If you want to go to bed, just say it, and you still make such a bad excuse." Li Donglai said with confidence: "I haven't been to school." Emma yelled: "Anyway, I want to watch!" Yuna: "...Rogue!"
...
"Jinling" has not been released on a large scale in North America, and there is no way to talk about the box office. It was just that at the end of December, three theaters in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, USA were only previewed for one week. The release date of "Jinling's Flowers" in theaters across the United States: On January 20, US time, "Jinling's Flowers" will be released in about 20 cities including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco. The overseas box office will be cleared at that time.
However, Xinglang Entertainment conducted a survey on the movie "The Flowers of War" in "Jinling", and more than 10,000 netizens participated in the voting, and more than half of the viewers felt that the film exceeded expectations.
Regarding the performance of the actors in the film, the heroine Ni Ni has a higher approval rating than Bell. About 52 netizens said that she watched the movie for the "attraction of director Zhang Yimou's new work". The audience of about 38 people thinks that the best performer in the film is Ni Ni, a newcomer who plays Yu Mo. The proportion of audiences who thinks that Bell performs the best is about 24, and Tong Dawei's approval rating is closely behind Bell, reaching 18.
But among the more than 10,000 people, only 56 viewers think that "The Flowers of War" is "very excellent and exceeds psychological expectations", and about 29 viewers think that the film is "a work directed by Zhang Yimou, basically satisfied". The proportion of netizens who have low evaluations or think that the movie is not as good as the original novel is 15.
The two major film review websites in China (10 points are full scores), Douban scored 180,000 people, with an average score of 8 points. Time.com scored 21,000 people, with an average score of 8.1 points. The comprehensive evaluation is: it received 76 positive reviews, 19 average, and 4 poor.
On December 15, the nomination list for the 69th Golden Globe Awards of Film and Television was exposed.
"The Artist" leads the Golden Ball nomination list with six nominations. The box office dark horse movie, "Help" which tells the racial story of the 1960s, and George Clooney's Hawaiian family story "Descendants", tied for second place. George Clooney and Viola Davis in both films were nominated for the Best Leader, and both films were also selected for the Best Drama Movie.
Other competitors in the best drama films include Master Martin Scorsese's "Hugo", George Clooney's political thriller "Presidential Killing", Brad Pitt's art film "Punishment to Gold" and Steven Spielberg's epic "War Horse".
In addition to "Artist", the nominations for the best music/comedy film include "50/50" which tells cancer stories, Christine Weger's wedding farce "Brathermaids", Woody Allen's romantic fantasy "Midnight Paris" and "My Week with Monroe" with Emma.
The Olympic Winning Films selected by radio and television, directed by Zhang Yimou, were also successfully selected for the Best Foreign Language Film nomination list.
After the nomination list was announced, Zhang Yimou and producer and producer Zhang Weiping immediately expressed their gratitude to the Golden Globe judges in English: "The Flowers of War" is an international cooperation involving more than 600 people from 24 countries and more than 600 people. We sincerely thank them for their contributions. We are very grateful to the Hollywood Foreign Media Association for its recognition from many films in the world. This is a true honor for every one of our participants..."
The nomination was announced at this time, which made the two Zhangs, who were not successful in the box office, breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, China has also begun to report on this nomination, analyzing the probability of winning several films. From the confident reports, it seems that "Jinling" has successfully won the Best Foreign Language Film Award.
Someone else would like to interview Li Donglai and ask the youngest Best Director at the Golden Globe Awards, what do you think of "Jinling" being nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Award?
There is no chance for the Phantom to win the award this year, and his attention to the award is not as good as before. It just so happened that the rise of the domestic veteran director seemed to be in line with the saying "I am old and stronger". It is not easy to be nominated, so he naturally hopes to successfully return with the award. So he said some congratulations on Weibo.
He sincerely congratulated him, but this kind of congratulations came from his mouth. A rising star in his twenties spoke to a top senior director suddenly and seemed a little awkward.
