In March, it's time for the Oscars again.
Universal Pictures launched "The Martian" last year, which is a big hit for this year's awards. It was nominated for eight awards in total, including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Effects and many other awards.
But this year's awards show also includes hits like "The Shape of Water," "Three Billboards," "Get Out" and "Call Me By Your Name," so will "The Martian" win? Not sure.
But no matter what, Xiang Nan went politely. And the final result was exactly as he expected, "The Martian" was nominated for none of the eight nominations, making it the most disappointing work for the Oscars in 2018.
Fortunately, its box office is not bad, and it can be regarded as a loss and a harvest.
…
In April, Xiang Nan started filming "Taken 3", which is also the last part of the series.
Zhou Dongyu returns again, partnering with Xiang Nan and Cong Shan.
After the previous two cooperations, Cong Shan liked this girl very much. She thought she was smart, smart and cute, and planned to match her with Tranquility, but was stopped by Xiang Nan.
Living in the environment of internal entertainment, no matter how innocent the birth is, it will be tarnished. Besides, Zhou Dongyu was of no help to Tranquility.
What the son needs is someone who can help him in his career, preferably a political tycoon or a celebrity in the business world, and at worst an academic figure.
After all, Xiang Nan left him too many resources, and he is not as capable as Xiang Nan. If you don't join forces with other forces, it will be difficult to keep such a large foundation.
Zhou Dongyu has nothing but fame in the mainland, so he is really not suitable to introduce to his son.
Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Cong Shan had no choice but to do so. But she still likes Zhou Dongyu very much.

In May, "Midnight Children 2" was released.
Tell the story of Blade Warrior, Ghost Rider, Morbius and other members of the Midnight Children fighting against the blood demon.
The Gorefiend is a strong man of another dimension, who wants to enter the human world, so he bewitched the vampire race, worshiped and sacrificed it, on the one hand strengthened its strength, and on the other hand helped it descend to the earth.
In "Mobius the Vampire 2", because of bloodthirsty addiction, Mobius sacrificed to the blood demon, which greatly increased the strength of the blood demon and finally came to the earth.
"Midnight's Sons 2" is the reorganization of Midnight's Sons by Blade Warrior, gathering ghost riders, humanoids, moonlight knights, night werewolves, voodoo doctors, etc. to fight against blood demons.
Finally, by awakening the will of Mobius and gathering the strength of all people, the Gorefiend was expelled from the earth space and exiled back to another dimension.
Because of the previous foreshadowing, the power of the Gorefiend has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and all movie fans know that the earth is at stake. Therefore, this "Midnight Children 2" has naturally attracted much attention.
The day before the show, there were already fans waiting in line to buy tickets. For them, "Midnight Children 2" means what "Avengers 2" is to Marvel fans.
The reason why they are so fanatical is partly because "Midnight Children 2" is an R-rated thriller action movie. These movies are usually produced on a small budget, with violence, blood and cyan as their selling points. Most of them are rough in production, not to mention how good they are. special effects.
In comparison, movies such as "Midnight Children 2", "Mobius the Vampire", and "Ghost Rider", although they are also R-rated thriller action movies, their production is comparable to first-line commercial blockbusters.
On the one hand, it is also because the previous "Blade Warrior 2", "Ghost Rider 2", "Mobias 2" and so on have already made the foreshadowing. After the layers of foreshadowing, the audience's curiosity is also full.
Now that it is in theaters, naturally everyone flocks to it. Therefore, in the end, "Midnight Children 2" has a North American box office of 260 million US dollars and a global box office of nearly 700 million US dollars, which is quite good.

Now Godzilla is awakened by the nuclear explosion, and then its natural enemy Ghidorah also wakes up, and the two sides start fighting again.
The story of this movie is actually not important, because the original positioning of "Godzilla" is a special film for children. Its plot basically has no depth, it's just a few monsters fighting in the dark.
When the audience watched this movie, what they saw was not a story, but so many titan monsters fighting for the king of monsters. So as long as the plot is not too hip, the special effects are done well, and the scenes are done well, the box office will not be bad.
