Chapter 55 Breaking Records

In the fourth week, the box office of "Lost in Thailand" continued to decline, with a total box office of 3950 million yuan for the week.

In the fifth week, impacted by "Kung Fu Panda", the weekly box office dropped below 2000 million, reaching 1750 million.

"Lost in Thailand" has grossed 37300 million yuan, breaking the 3.6 ​​million yuan box office record of "Titanic".

In the Chinese film market, the all-time box office champion is no longer a Hollywood film, but a Chinese film, returning to the hands of the Chinese people.

The media reported on it extensively, giving them a sense of triumph.

"Lost on Journey breaks Titanic's box office record in mainland China! Latest statistics show a box office of 3.73 million yuan!" — Sina.com

"The 3.6 ​​million yuan box office record set by 'Titanic' has been broken today by 'Lost on Journey,' which has now grossed 3.73 million yuan!" — Tencent.com

The media reported it immediately, and people who saw the news were very excited.

"That's amazing! 'Lost on Journey' broke the box office record of 'Titanic', and I contributed to that too. I took my girlfriend to see the movie, and then I took my parents to see it again."

"Our school organized us to watch 'Lost on Journey'. On the afternoon of the day the college entrance exam ended, I went to the cinema to watch 'Lost on Journey' again without even having dinner."

"Titanic's box office record in mainland China has been broken! It's unbelievable!"

"sharp!"

"..."

Just as everyone was celebrating "Lost in Thailand" breaking the box office record of "Titanic" in mainland China, Gu Qingshan and Jing Tian came to Shenzhen to attend the 8th Chinese Film Media Awards.

This is a film award initiated and hosted by the Southern Metropolis Daily in 2000. It jointly selects Chinese-language films released in Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, and sets up nine awards: Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best New Director, Best Screenplay, and Best New Actor.

This year's Chinese Film Media Awards made quite a splash, as it is the most prestigious award among mainland Chinese film awards.

Each trophy is set with 21 diamonds, with a total cost of over 100,000 yuan. It is the first time that a domestic film award has used jewelry craftsmanship to make trophies, and it is also the most valuable trophy.

Tonight's awards ceremony at the Sheraton Greater China Hotel was also star-studded, with many celebrities from Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong in attendance.

Looking at the scene, Gu Qingshan gained a clearer understanding of the landscape of the entertainment industry.

In general, it refers to the three regions: the mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

Hong Kong and Taiwan are even closer, so they can be considered as one entity.

In mainland China, there are the Beijing circle, the Shanghai circle, the Northwest circle, and the Northeast circle, each of which has gathered a large number of big shots.

As for Gu Qingshan himself, he doesn't belong to any circle; he belongs to a circle of his own.

At 7:30 p.m., the banquet began, and some sponsors arrived with their children. Everyone exchanged pleasantries.

At eight o'clock, the lights dimmed and the awards ceremony began.

Unlike other award ceremonies that start with a song and dance performance, this year's Chinese Film Media Awards ceremony featured a group of top models making a slow, catwalk-like entrance to showcase the sponsors' jewelry.

From the very beginning, it was brimming with commercial appeal.

The jewelry display lasted a full ten minutes before the models left the stage, and the awards ceremony began.

This awards ceremony, of course, also involved distributing pork.

The Best Film award went to "Tuya's Marriage," the Best Director award went to Hsu An-hua for "The Postmodern Life of My Aunt," the Best Actor award went to Zhang Hanyu for "Assembly," and the Best Actress award went to Jing Tian.

Gu Qingshan won Best New Director, and He Jingtian won Best New Actor.

As for Tang Wei, who was nominated for Best New Performer, she was probably not selected this time because of the controversy surrounding the nomination and the fact that she starred in a movie called "Police Flower Yanzi" in 2004, which doesn't really qualify her as a new actress.

It's fair to say that while Tang Wei might be nominated for film awards in mainland China, winning would be extremely difficult.

After the awards ceremony, and while giving some interviews, Gu Qingshan invited the group to go for a late-night snack.

In situations like this, apart from a few individuals, most people don't touch their chopsticks.

After all, cameras are pointed at celebrities from time to time, and they will always try to present their best image and avoid being photographed from unflattering angles.

Early the next morning, Gu Qingshan took an early flight back to Xiamen to serve as an Olympic torchbearer at the Xiamen station.

Given Gu Qingshan's current fame, he will definitely be a torchbearer.

Prior to this, his hometown of Xiamen had contacted him and invited him to be an Olympic torchbearer.

Unfortunately, the most famous public figure in Xiamen right now is Gu Qingshan.

In particular, the box office of "Lost in Thailand" has broken the mainland box office record set by "Titanic".

First, I went back to my hometown, which is currently under renovation, and I plan to move there before the Spring Festival.

It was already quite hot on Xiamen Island at this time.

Wearing an Olympic T-shirt with the number 5 on his chest, Gu Qingshan carried the Olympic torch and ran 200 meters amidst cheers and cameras, handing it over to the next torchbearer and successfully completing the task of passing on the Olympic flame.

There were 25 Olympic torchbearers at the Xiamen leg of the torch relay.

As Gu Qingshan walked to the rest area, dozens of reporters surrounded him with their cameras and microphones.

Of the 25 Olympic torchbearers, even the most famous Olympic badminton men's singles champion cannot compare to Gu Qingshan in terms of fame, let alone the others.

If Gu Qingshan hadn't kept declining, Xiamen would have wanted him to be the number one torchbearer.

In Gu Qingshan's view, the Olympic torchbearer should be an athlete, and he should not overshadow the athlete.

After taking a sip of water, Gu Qingshan gave a media interview.

"Director Gu, how do you feel being a torchbearer today?" The reporter from Xiamen TV got the first chance to ask a question.

Gu Qingshan said, "I am very excited and happy. I am also grateful to my fellow villagers for giving me this opportunity to participate in the Olympic torch relay. This is an honor that I will remember for a lifetime."

"Coach Gu, is there anything you'd like to say to our athletes?" a reporter from the Xiamen Evening News asked.

Gu Qingshan said, "Go China's athletes! We look forward to our athletes winning gold and silver medals on the field!"

"According to media statistics, you have donated a total of 1000 million yuan in your personal donations, and your company, Qingshan Film and Television, has donated 2000 million yuan, making you the person who has donated the most in the film and television industry. Do you have anything to say about this?" a reporter from China Youth Daily asked.

"I'm just doing my bit. When one place is in trouble, help comes from all sides. This is a fine tradition of our country and our nation. In the face of great disasters, we will unite as one and overcome difficulties together!" Gu Qingshan said solemnly.

Other reporters came one after another for interviews, and Gu Qingshan tried his best to cooperate.

Everyone has a tough time making a living.

As long as it's not excessive, Gu Qingshan is usually quite cooperative, allowing people to have news to write about.
