Also a film under Relativity Entertainment, "Twilight: Crescent" and "Slumdog Millionaire" are in sharp contrast.

Just before the Oscars ceremony, the former imdb averaged 4.2 points, and the freshness of rotten tomatoes dropped to 24%, which was rotten to a certain level.

The latter imdb scored an average score of 8.5 points, and the freshness of rotten tomatoes has always been above 95%. No matter how you look at it, they are all good movies with a lot of reputation.

But the market performance and reputation of the two are exactly the opposite.

Needless to say, "The Millionaire in the Slums" has been released for ten weeks. Even after a round of expansion after the Oscar nominations, the box office in North America was only $48.62 million.

Without the support of heavyweight Oscars, it is difficult for this film to recover the cost by box office alone.

Throughout the awards season, Embassy Films’ main goal was to best films.

With the tide of the screenwriter's strike, the 80th Academy Awards ceremony was held on time on February 24.

The sunny Los Angeles has been drizzling with drizzles since the 22nd, which is quite deadly for the red carpet. The award ceremony without the red carpet is simply a life of female celebrities.

Therefore, the Academy showed Oscar speed. In just two days, a large white ceiling was temporarily built in the small square at the entrance of the Kodak Theater, and the red carpet extending to the intersection of Hollywood Avenue was also covered by the white ceiling.

The light rain can no longer affect the interest of celebrities on the red carpet, but there is also a strong wind accompanied by the rain. The wind blows raindrops on them. Even if Los Angeles is not cold, it will not be a good time in this season.

But for Hollywood, which has just experienced a screenwriter strike, this storm is nothing.

The open-air stands and streets around the Kodak Theatre are crowded with thousands of movie fans. The first stars to step on the red carpet include George Clooney, who won the Academy Award for Best Actor for "Michael Clayton", as well as German supermodel Heidi Clum and her black singer husband Hill.

Rachel McAdams wore a backless evening dress, which caused the fans to scream as soon as he appeared; Cate Blanchett walked slowly on the red carpet wearing a huge and dazzling necklace; stars such as Penelope Cruz and Tom Cruise also stepped on the red carpet one after another and entered the Kodak Theater.

The Hollywood screenwriter's strike that lasted for more than two months once made people worried about whether the 80th Academy Awards could be held as scheduled. Now that the strike has ended, the suspense has been eliminated, the Oscars are in disguise, and people's interest in watching live broadcasts has risen, and the advertising price of the awards ceremony has hit new highs.

AB TV, the broadcaster, has exceeded $100 million in Oscar advertising revenue for the first time, and it seems that the screenwriter's strike has increased everyone's interest in this Oscar ceremony.

At all major awards ceremony, most male celebrities are black and old, without any novelty or attention.

Therefore, the important task of attracting attention on the red carpet is naturally on the shoulders of female celebrities. Just like male celebrities, black has always been a safe choice for female celebrities to hold their chests at awards ceremony. The calm temperament of black can be interpreted as mysterious, interpreted as sexy, or maintained as noble, and rarely make mistakes.

Even Penelope Cruise, who was holding Tom Cruise, chose a black dress.

The two of them walked on the red carpet together, which is undoubtedly a signal of reunion.

"Penny, you're so beautiful tonight."

In the vestibule of Kodak Theater, Ronan looked at Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz and said: "It's definitely the focus of tonight."

Penelope Cruz smiled and said, "Thank you." She turned to look at Tom Cruz: "This is Tom's choice for me."

Ronan blinked at Tom Cruise and said, "Tom's eyes have always been very good."

"Of course." Tom Cruise asked curiously: "Why are you alone? Where is Jesse?"

Ronan shrugged slightly: "Take the new crew to Boston to pick up the outdoor scene."

The "Hot Police Flower" project under the charge of Jessica Felton has been prepared and will be filmed on the spot in Boston.

Tom Cruise said: "She still works so hard."

Ronan said seriously: "Jesse said that she is first a producer, and then her girlfriend."

As soon as these words came out, all three of them laughed.

Then we entered the main hall of Kodak Theater, three crews under Relativity Entertainment, "Sunshine Girl", "Rat King" and "Slumdog Millionaire", which occupied a large area on the left side of the front row.

However, most people come from "The Millionaire in the Slums". The crew of "Sunshine Girls" only came Rachel McAdams and Lindsay Bill. Director David Finch did not receive the best director nomination and did not come at all.

As for "The Rat King", only director and producer Brad Bird was present.

Ronan is not familiar with people from "The Slums Millionaire", and the seats are next to Lindsay Bill.

"David is going to be busy with the final post-production of "House of Cards" and can't get through." Lindsay Bill pushed his glasses and said, "He called me specifically and asked me to convey my apology."

Ronan waved his hand: "This little thing doesn't matter." He turned to ask: "How is the filming of "The Lunar Eclipse"? We must strive to be released next year."

Most commercial movies are fast food consumer products. The "Twilight" series is a fast food among fast food. It not only increases the popularity quickly, but also produces fast.

The former Lionsgate Films also basically launched one movie a year.

Relativity Entertainment is also at this speed. Before the release of "Crescent Moon", "The Lunar Eclipse" has begun preparations.

Lindsay Bill replied: "The shooting went smoothly. The shooting will be over before May, and it will not delay the release of next Valentine's Day schedule."

She mentioned another question: "As the huge success of "New Moon" exceeded expectations, the actors and directors are now a little restless, and their agents have all asked for a salary increase, which is still relatively large."

Ronan also knows these, such as the hero Robert Pattinson, whose salary was only $500,000 in the first part, but it rose to $3 million in the second part. The salary for "The Lunar Eclipse" was $5 million. Even with the restrictions on long-term contracts, his agent proposed a salary increase of $10 million plus 5% of the North American box office share.

"A salary increase is inevitable." Ronan is very clear about this: "The pay for the male and female protagonists can be increased to $10 million, but the share of the money cannot be compromised later."

With a long appointment, even in the sequel movie, Relativity Entertainment still takes a considerable initiative. Lindsay Bill nodded slightly: "I understand."

The music sounded and the award ceremony officially kicked off.

After a brief prefix snippet, Jon Stewart, the host of "Daily Show", took the stage and began to talk about the just-concluded Hollywood screenwriter strike.

He said in a teasing tone: "The past two months have been difficult. The bitter screenwriter strike has split Hollywood. I am very happy that the struggle is over."

The award ceremony still starts with the award for Best Supporting Actress, and the opening of Best Supporting Actor or Best Supporting Actress seems to have become a routine for the Academy Awards Ceremony.

The most supporting actress was in the hands of the former Supreme Mage, and George Clooney's "Michael Clayton" took the lead.

Then, the award ceremony continued the drowsy rhythm of the last session.

As the Oscar's 80th birthday, the award ceremony naturally requires some commemoration and review. The long tribute session caused the ratings to plummet from the peak at the beginning.

Fortunately, with the lessons learned from last year, the producers have changed a bit in the tribute session.

Before each important award is awarded, montages of past winners will be played, and many clips of famous winners will be interspersed, especially those Oscar couples.

This at least gives the audience a little motivation to persist without changing the channel.

To be honest, although the ratings of the Oscars are very bad now, they will only be even worse in the future.

It is very simple to say the truth. The old men who control the core of the academy must think that their era is the best. How can they prove this? Of course, they are frequent nostalgia and tribute.

When Ronan's group grows old, it may not be the case.

Just like the football world, in the era of the two heroes, many fans who witnessed the 190s believed that the two heroes were not only inferior to those in that era, such as Ronaldo and Barty, but even believed that their strength was far inferior to those people, even though they had much more honors in both individual and collective than their predecessors.

Which era is the best? I guess no one can convince each other in the two generations.

This is a completely unsolvable problem.

I can only say that what I have experienced is the best, and this is how people are.

When these people get old and go through a new era, these people will become part of the "Ancient Blow".

Technology awards were awarded one after another, and Relativity Entertainment also gained something. With Rachel McAdams' attractive look, "Sunshine Girl" won the Little Golden Man who won the Best Makeup Award.

"Sunshine Girl" was the first to win a consolation prize.

Then, without any suspense, Brad Bird from Pixar Studios took the stage and took over the Little Golden Man, who represented the best animated feature film from Anne Hathaway, who was the guest of the awards.

Similarly, as one of the biggest hits in this year's Oscars, "The Slums Millionaire" has also begun to make some achievements.

The first one to win the best sound effect, then the best soundtrack was won. In several awards closely related to the best film, "The Slums Millionaire" won the best adapted script and best editing, while "The Old Nowhere to Belongs" won the best photography, and it seems that the specific tendency is not visible in a short period of time.

However, there were also surprises, Lindsay Bill won the best original script of Little Golden Man with "Sunshine Girl".
