Chapter 191
As of 12:00 p.m. on Valentine's Day, "Time Lovers" was still number one at the box office, but the gap with the second place was more than half. The first-day box office of "Lover" was 48.09 million, and "Lover" was 46.8 million. From the original 8 million to now, there is only a difference of less than 3 million, and the ratings of the former on related websites are still declining.
Jing Ling's fans were all looking forward to the counterattack on the second day.
February 15th, although Valentine’s Day has passed, has ushered in the peak movie-watching season of the weekend. "Time Lovers" only held the top spot for half a day before being overtaken by "Stockholm Lovers". The latter's box office is growing, while the former's is shrinking. At twelve o'clock in the evening, the box office statistics came out and "Stockholm Lovers" closed at 62.03 million, an increase of more than 15 million from the first day, successfully breaking the 100 million mark. However, "Time Lovers" was stuck at 39.74 million, which was 8 million less than the first day. It was a typical fan movie. If it hadn't caught up with a good release period, the box office would have dropped even more.
But fortunately, there is no problem in breaking 100 million.
A week and a half after the release of "Lover", the box office finally exceeded 300 million. For an art film, this result cannot be said to be brilliant, but it is definitely eye-catching. As for its original competitor, "Lover", after breaking the 100 million mark, it has not made much of a splash, and its reputation has continued to decline. Its only presence is that fans of the two leading actors keep quarreling and blaming each other on the forum. The movie was taken off the screen a week after it was released.
It's not on the same level anymore.
The movie "Lover" has always had a good reputation, and the plot has also caused a certain amount of discussion, but the popularity was not high and quickly faded. According to this trend, in a few days, "Stockholm Lovers" will be taken off the screen at the latest by the end of the month.
However, at this juncture, big news broke out in Yuanzhou District of the Western Administrative Region. A school violence incident occurred in a local middle school, resulting in three deaths and one injury. There is an old saying in China that if you kill someone, you must pay with your life. However, the murderer in this case is a junior high school student who is less than 14 years old. According to the Law on the Protection of Minors, he does not have to bear criminal responsibility at all and can just pay compensation to settle the matter.
After this incident happened, it instantly became a social hot spot.
The Law on the Protection of Minors, which has long been criticized, has once again been pushed to the forefront.
With this favorable trend, the movie "Stockholm Lovers" became popular again.
#BecomeZhouXiao# climbed to the top of the hot search list in a short period of time.
Since the implementation of the family planning policy, except for some backward areas in China, most families have only one child, and the 421 family structure is the norm. For such families, their children can be said to be everything to them. They get extremely nervous if their children get a minor injury or illness. They raise their children in their hands for more than ten years and do their best to give them the best conditions. But suddenly, they are gone. Anyone would devastate.
If it was a natural disaster or man-made disaster, it would be fine and no one could be blamed. But in the current situation, he died at the hands of a peer, and because the other party is protected by the law, he not only does not have to pay with his life, but he does not even have to bear criminal responsibility.
Your own child falls asleep forever before he has the chance to see the prosperity of this world, while the murderer still has an unlimited future, he can succeed, get married and have children... How can people tolerate this?
The hope of an entire family has been extinguished. Even if the couple is still young and can have another child, this huge trauma can never be healed. Those with lower tolerance may not be able to get over this hurdle at all, especially the elderly.
In this case, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with being someone like Zhou Xiao.
But there are also people who hold different opinions. If everyone is like Zhou Xiao, ignoring the law and using any means to seek revenge, then what is the use of the law?
So "Stockholm Lovers" was also pushed to the forefront. It was a hit, but it was also pulled from theaters because it touched a sensitive spot.
The stupid black fans in the entertainment industry seized the opportunity and continuously posted on various forums to slander Jing Ling as a jinx. As a result, not only were they sprayed to death by feathers, but even passers-by couldn't stand it and sprayed this group of people to pieces.
Because this is no longer a problem in the entertainment industry, it involves sensitive social issues. As the saying goes, if you don't plan for the future, you will have immediate worries. Getting married, having children and raising the next generation are things that most people cannot avoid. Although it has not happened to you now, if you don't learn from the lesson, it will be too late to regret in the future.
Not to mention the social discussion about this incident, the movie "Stockholm Lovers" was affected and forced to be taken off the screen, but it is not beyond redemption. After all, Director Gu is a big director in the circle, and the higher-ups have given him conditions. As long as the ending and some plots are changed, the movie can be re-released and earn another wave of box office revenue while the popularity is high. There are also subsequent online broadcasts and other copyrights, which together add up to a considerable amount of income.
Director Gu refused without even considering it. What a joke! Forget about the ending. They asked to delete all the plots about school violence. The male protagonist became a complete pervert, and the female protagonist went from being the original perpetrator to being a legitimate victim. The whole story has become unrecognizable. At this point, he no longer needed that little money, and as the only investor, Li Yu was also not short of money, so there was no way he would compromise.
It doesn’t matter if it’s not allowed to be released in China, there is still a huge market overseas!
This kind of thing cannot be kept secret. When the news broke out in the circle, most people, while praising Gu Mengmeng for her backbone, were also worried that Jing Ling would be implicated in this incident and be blacklisted. He originally had a great hope of winning the award, but he didn't want to just accept it as a formality in the end, otherwise he would lose out.
His acting in "The Lover" is truly impeccable, and we thought he was doomed to be nominated for Pegasus, one of the three major film awards in May, but now it's probably going to be a failure.
Time flies, and it's May in a blink of an eye.
At 2:00 p.m. on May 28, the official website of the Pegasus Awards announced the nominations. As soon as the list came out, the industry was in an uproar, because "Stockholm Lovers", which was originally thought to have no chance, took the lead with six nominations, including the Best Actor award!
On July 5, the nominations for the Golden Osmanthus Awards for Television were announced. As expected and unexpected, "Rise of Jiang Shan" was also nominated for Best Actor.
On August 12, the nominations for the Bauhinia Film Awards were announced, and "Stockholm Lovers" won four nominations including Best Actor.
The entire entertainment industry has gone crazy.
“Jingbao666666666666666, this is going to be a god!”
"My underage is awesome!"
"Fuck, these guys are so bold! At the height of the storm, they actually dared to nominate Jing Ling. If he really wins the award in the end, I will start to doubt his background!"
"Suspicion +1"
"I think background and other things are not important. The real focus should be, three award ceremonies in thirteen months, if Jing Ling really wins, what does that mean?"
"Needless to say, he is definitely a figure that will go down in history in the domestic film industry! He instantly outshines all other actors of the same period and rises to prominence in one step!"
"Fuck, if they really get all of them, I will definitely become a fan, the kind of crazy fan who will never leave you and will never abandon you for the rest of your life!"
Jing Ling’s fans said that at his age, he received three important nominations in one year, and even if he didn’t win the award in the end, he could still brag about it to the sky. If I got them all... I could brag about it for the rest of my life!
At 8 pm on August 26, the biennial Pegasus Awards ceremony was held at the Jiangcheng International Convention and Exhibition Center. The award ceremony is almost over. "Stockholm Lovers" has won five of its six nominations, and won three, namely Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best Original Screenplay. Only one award has yet to be announced, which is one of the highlights, Best Actor.
Clips from the five nominated films were played one by one on the big screen on the stage. Finally, the camera was split into two. One side showed the five Best Actor candidates, each with a different expression, and the other side showed the award presenter, who was equally nervous.
The presenter opened the envelope and announced the winners. "The winner of the 42nd Pegasus Film Awards for Best Actor is... Jing Ling! For "Stockholm Lovers"!"
A scream suddenly rang out, breaking through the sky!
Although it has been said all the time, but when Jing Ling really won the Pegasus Award for Best Actor and broke the record of the youngest actor in domestic film history, the fans who were watching the live broadcast were still crazy with joy!
on site.
After Jing Ling hugged everyone, he walked onto the award ceremony stage accompanied by the voice-over. Before the results come out, no one knows who will win in the end, but preparations must be made. At least all the nominated actors know what they will win when it comes to their acceptance speeches. Jing Ling is no exception. After saying everything that needed to be said, he ended with, "This is the first trophy!"
Previously, on a variety show on Nanzhou TV, the female host asked him about his relationship, and he replied that he would tell him after he won two trophies. And now, half of the conditions have been met.
On September 11, the 24th Television Golden Osmanthus Awards ceremony hosted by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television was held at Yunzhou Grand Theater.
The Best Actor award was announced, and Jing Ling won again.
Half a month later, he won another trophy, winning both Best Actor and Best Actress awards, and once again broke the record for the youngest Best Actor in the country.
The fans, who had finally calmed down a little, went crazy again, and their eyes were all on the 51st Bauhinia Film Awards to be held soon.
If I can win the award this time... I get so excited just thinking about it!
While they were happy, some people noticed that Jing Ling did not mention the trophy after his acceptance speech, and they immediately realized that his previous words were referring to the movie trophy.
On October 31, the Bauhinia Film Awards ceremony was held at Jincheng International Convention and Exhibition Center.
When the Best Actor result was announced, the entire domestic entertainment industry was in an uproar.
Jing Ling once again won the Best Actor trophy!
Within a year, he won the Pegasus Bauhinia Award for Best Actor and the Golden Osmanthus Award for Best Actor. Suddenly, Jing Ling became the focus of the entire entertainment industry!
The acceptance speech ended with the words "This is the second trophy."
After the award ceremony, Jing Ling posted a message on Weibo.
Jing Ling Tian Xia Di Er V: See you on Weibo live broadcast at 12 o’clock tonight.
"Jing Ling, what does your Weibo mean? What do you want to do?" Chen Ze held the phone, pointed his finger at the latest Weibo on the screen, and looked at Jing Ling with a suspicious look.
Jing Ling smiled innocently, "It's just a few things, but for most people, it's probably just a surprise, not a joy." After he finished speaking, he suddenly asked Chen Ze a question he didn't want to ask, "Aze, if possible, do you want to change your job? High-tech, decent, easy..."
After listening to this, Shen Ze suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and it became a reality at twelve o'clock in the evening.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, Jing Ling started the live broadcast on time.
It was an ordinary home camera with average picture quality. The background was exactly the apartment that Shen Ze rented. He could see a corner of the room, which was clean and tidy. Under the camera, Jing Ling's appearance was vaguely the same as when they first met, perfect and stunning. But he also has a bit of maturity that comes with the baptism of time, between a boy and a man.
"I know it's late, but on this special day, I have something to say to everyone... I got into this industry by accident, but my personality is that once I do something, I will try my best to do it... People are fickle creatures, and life is also full of variables... I said before that after I won two trophies, I would tell everyone about my relationship, and now I can fulfill my promise. I have a girlfriend, and we have been dating for more than two years. I love her very much..."
As soon as this sentence came out, the barrage of comments exploded instantly, and fans said that they could not accept the crazy brushing of pills on Chigua Road. Because for Jing Ling, now is the beginning of the real peak of his career. Exposing the relationship at this time is simply courting death.
However, this is just the beginning, the next words are the real bomb.
"...Thank you for accompanying me all the way. Goodbye!"
After three years in the industry, he announced his retirement at the peak of his career, becoming an eternal legend!
