Chapter 1081 egalitarianism

"Someone will talk about the golden age of movies in the past, like it has been dead for years."

On the stage, Tom Crew, the winner of the previous Best Actor, had a charming smile on his face and said the carefully prepared words by the screenwriters: "But the film on the nomination list comes from the talented performances of these actresses, proving that the golden age of the film is still full of vitality."

He looked sideways at the big screen behind: "There are nominations for Best Actress..."

The large screen combined with the performances of the corresponding characters in each movie, and the nomination list was announced: "Cate Blanchett, "Elizabeth 2"; Julie Christie, "The Willows and Flowers"; Marion Cotillard, "The Rose Life"; Laura Linney, "The Savages"; Rachel McAdams, "Sunny Girls".

The nomination list for Best Actress in this year is not very strong. Although Cate Blanchett is deeply favored by the Oscars, the film "Elizabeth 2" is really bad. Julie Christie and Laura Linney are not very competitive.

As for Marion Cotillard and Rachel McAdams, it depends on luck.

In the past two years, there have been too many awards for Relativity Entertainment, which has begun to make people tired. I am lucky to not be on the side of Relativity Entertainment this time.

Tom Cruise opened the envelope, took a look, and announced: "Tonight's best actress is Marion Cotillard in "Life of Rose"!"

Relativity Entertainment is inevitably disappointed, and Luo Nan also frowned slightly, as if he smelled a bad meaning.

A few years ago, DreamWorks was no longer favored by the Oscars after three consecutive Oscars.

Does Relativity Entertainment also receive this treatment?

Ronan carefully recalled the situation of DreamWorks, which is also related to the lack of excellent enough films after three consecutive championships in "American Beauty", "Gladiator" and "Beautiful Life".

Although Oscars are a game of money and fame and fortune, they have no way to win heavyweight awards without investing in recent years, but they have a baseline. Participating in this fame and fortune competition must have a certain quality, otherwise the Oscar would have smashed its century-old signature.

"Sunshine Girl" has problems with its three views. It is already quite good to have two consolation prizes for Best Makeup and Best Adapted Screenplay.

After all, this film is completely opposite to some things advocated by mainstream American society and film schools.

A crucial award like Best Actress cannot be awarded to this film.

Moreover, the professional team of Embassy Films has carefully analyzed before that the trend of this year's Oscar super cake is extremely high.

Facts have proved that after years of Oscar promotion and public relations, the Embassy Films team still has a certain degree of accuracy in the direction of the Academy and the Oscars.

The best actor fell into the hands of Daniel Day Lewis in "The Blood is Coming".

"The one who won the best director is..." Last winner Martin Scorsese announced the result: "Ethan Cohen and Joel Cohen!"

Paramount Classics collaborated with Miramax to "The Old Nowhere to Belong" won the Best Director Little Golden Man.

The four most heavy awards, the first three that have been awarded, were won by three different films.

Is this going to do the cake to the end?

Just as countless people asked questions, as the guest of the last award, Denzel Washington stepped onto the stage. After a routine conversation, the films nominated for the best film in this year were presented on the screen, namely: "Atonement, Michael Clayton, Slumdog Millionaire", "Blood is Coming" and "Old Nowhere to Belong."

The cake is divided very thoroughly.

Denzel Washington announced the results: "The best picture is "The Millionaire in the Slums"!"

Cheers rang around Ronan. After losing Best Director Xiao Jinren, the crew received the most Oscar award.

Afterwards, Andrew took all the crew to the stage to receive the award. Ronan, who had left the front-line production, sat quietly in his seat, constantly smiling and applauding.

Relativity Entertainment broke the DreamWorks record and won four consecutive Oscars!

Compared with the previous films, "The Slums Millionaire" does not have much dominance. Among the four most important awards, they did not receive a nomination for the Performance Award. The best director and best film were nominated for the final first.

But for relativistic entertainment, it is enough.

Among all the Oscars, the one with the strongest market appeal is undoubtedly the Best Picture.

With the awards of four major awards, this year's Oscars ceremony ended.

All kinds of criticism were inevitable afterwards, especially this kind of cake-sharing similar to egalitarianism, which led to a stronger criticism.

There is another thing that cannot be ignored, the influence of Oscars is declining.

This is directly reflected in the ratings, but American viewers lack interest in TV broadcasts, which has caused the Oscar live broadcast ratings to hit a new low in previous years, with an average of only about 22 million viewers.

Compared with last year, the Oscars' viewership fell by about 20%, which is 14% lower than the Oscars' worst performance in 2003.

The New York Times commented: "What is Oscars in the face of the screenwriter strike and the most interesting presidential election in half a century? Who cares about who the Oscars' little golden man has fallen?"

The presidential election where Hei Tan participated in the competition is what Americans care about most at this stage.

The first black general commander in history, you can think of it and know the huge impact the United States has suffered.

It will push various leftist thoughts that have emerged and developed in American society in recent years to a peak.

The carnival of the white leftists is about to begin.

Similarly, the counterattack from the right-wing conservative forces will come soon.

Of course, the so-called Virgin Mary of White Left has always been a superficial appearance, and the true core of American society has not changed.

While Europe was busy rescuing war refugees, the Washington authorities formulated more stringent access policies...

There are not many fools who can get to the top.

Therefore, including Ronan and Relativity Entertainment, they seem to be a group of white leftists, but in fact they are all fence-bearers who move with interests.

Do things that are beneficial to me. It is useless to say things that are not beneficial.

Although the influence of the Oscars is declining, the effect of the Best Picture still exists. After "The Slums Millionaire" won the Best Picture, a new round of expanded screenings began immediately.

With the best film Little Golden Man, the good reputation of this film finally changed towards commercial gains.

"The Slums Millionaire" has expanded its screenings to 3,215 theaters in North America. In the weekend after the Oscars, it received $21.22 million, with a total box office of $78.89 million in North America.

This film finally took the most solid step towards the goal of a box office of over 100 million in North America.

In the next weekend, "The Slums Millionaire" won another $13.58 million in North America, and the box office in North America officially exceeded $100 million.

Moreover, this kind of video adopts a typical long-term screening strategy and can stay in North American videos for 3 to 4 months.

With the best film Little Golden Man halo, "The Slums Millionaire" has a very high hope for the final North American box office to exceed $150 million.

Even with the production cost and the promotional and public relations expenses that hit Oscars and other awards, Relativity Entertainment invested a total of US$28 million in "The Millionaire in the Slums", which alone is enough to generate tens of millions of dollars in net income.

And after winning the best film, the overseas release of "The Slums Millionaire" was also put on the agenda.

Embassy Films expects a box office of no less than US$200 million overseas.

The other two award-winning films, the best animated feature film, can only be said to be better than nothing. This film is also the lowest profitable animated feature film since Pixar Studio entered the new century.

"Sunshine Girl", which won the best makeup and the best adapted script, released DVD after the Oscars, and the response was pretty good.

The two Oscars are one thing, although they are not heavyweight awards, but they are somewhat promoted.

On the other hand, DVD is different from the released films, and more content is added, most of which are large-scale scenes that cannot be screened on the theater screen because of the need to ensure the grading of "Sunshine Girl".

Rachel McAdams contributed a lot to the art of film, and the scale of DVD is no less than the former "Fifty Shades of Gray".

This is not a big deal for Rachel McAdams.

Of course, she also received generous rewards. Although she did not win the Oscar for Best Actress, the corresponding nominations, coupled with the outstanding box office results of "Sunshine Girl", have already vaguely touched the threshold of first-line actresses.

The former Rachel McAdams was just a second-tier at the best time, but later it was unstable even in the second-tier.

Rachel McAdams benefited a lot from his collaboration with Relativity Entertainment.

While her acting skills were recognized, "Sunshine Girl" had a box office of $165.54 million when it was lowered in North America, which also gave her corresponding market appeal.

The DVD of this video was launched in a week and sold nearly 1.2 million copies, with sales of more than $25 million.

Unfortunately, due to the relationship between scale and subject matter, "Sunshine Girl" has been refused introduction by many overseas markets, such as the Middle East and Africa, as well as many countries in East and Southeast Asia.

However, in Europe, Australia, Latin America, Japan and South Korea, the market response of the films is quite good. The phenomenon described in "Sunshine Girl" is also common in these countries.

I just don’t know if there is a remote transmission of bottles of water on the roof of these places.

"Sunshine Girl" has basically ended its screening in the international market, with a cumulative overseas box office of more than US$150 million.

This movie with a super-informed viewpoint, like David Finch's famous work "The Seven Deadly Sins", achieved a double harvest in reputation and commerciality, and eventually had a global box office of up to 311.21 million US dollars.

After March, David Finch still adhered to the concept of slow work and worked hard and continued to be busy with the post-production of "House of Cards".
