Chapter 1004: Effect benefit


With the end of the Oscars ceremony, another awards season in Hollywood officially ended.
The direction of public opinion before and after the awards ceremony was completely different. Before the award results were announced, "Infernal Walker" was recognized as the most popular, but after the results came out, even the media that previously thought that this film would become a super winner, began to comment on "Infinite Walker" won the award incorrectly.
Criticisms like "Martin Scorsese really deserves an Oscar for best director and best film figurine, but "Infinite Walker" is not his best work" and so on.
Things like "Tongtian Tower" and "Little Sunshine Girl" have become the object of widespread sympathy by the media.
As for "Infernal Walker" taking three of the four major awards, and Relativity Entertainment's three consecutive years of best film awards, the media are full of conspiracy and shady.
This is what the North American media has always done. Even top newspapers such as the "New York Times" and "Los Angeles Times" often only choose what they want to see. Objectivity and facts are fundamental to them. It doesn't matter, in order to achieve certain purposes, it is not news.
The Oscars ceremony ended, criticizing the big winners, sympathizing with the losers, this is a routine project every year.
"Infinite Walker" is not the first, and it will not be the last.
How many controversies have "Forrest Gump" and "Shawshank's Redemption" caused after the Oscars ended? Especially the latter, how much sympathy has he won with the tragedy of N nominations and nothing?
But people with a little bit of brain know that "Shawshank's Redemption" will not be favored by Oscars at all. It is even more nonsense to defeat the heavyweight Oscars of a film like "Forrest Gump". .
Strictly speaking, "Infernal Walker" does not seem to be particularly good.
But the result of Oscar, after all, is compared with many films, other competitors are really a bit weak.
In any case, "Infinite Walker" has won enough attention and good reputation in North America.
After the Oscars, this film has appeared in the markets of East Asia and Southeast Asia one after another.
As Ronan predicted, there was an upsurge caused by "Infernal Affairs". From the day "Infernal Affairs" was released, the voice of criticism and even abuse has not ceased.
The two films will inevitably be compared by audiences who have watched "Infernal Affairs" in East Asia and Southeast Asia. The pure American gangster film "Infernal Affairs" seriously does not conform to the aesthetics of the audience there. Although the reputation will not collapse, it is "Infernal Affairs" is a far cry.
For a large proportion of movie fans in East Asia and Southeast Asia, "Infernal Walker" has won several heavyweight Oscar statuettes very surprised, even puzzled.
How can such a remake film that can't even be compared with the original version become the best film Oscar?
It can be said that quite a lot of viewers can’t understand how such a wonderful matchup between Liu Tianwang and Dianyanliang is replaced by two Hollywood superstars, Tom Cruise and Will Smith, who have influence all over the world. It has become a vulgar mess.
But one thing is very obvious. Even in East Asia and Southeast Asia, the influence of the Oscar effect is still obvious. Even if the word-of-mouth of Infinite Walker is not good, it still has a good attendance rate in East Asia and Southeast Asia.
This is also a new point of box office growth for "Infinite Walkers".
A week after the Oscars ceremony, the film won nearly 12 million U.S. dollars in box office in many film markets in East and Southeast Asia.
In North America, since the film has been in theaters for nearly three months, it rebounded and expanded once when the Oscar nominations were announced, so the Oscar effect is naturally inferior to the newly released market.
However, the Oscar's influence cannot be underestimated by anyone, and North America has once again rebounded.
Originally, North America dropped to less than 500 screening theaters and screens. The week after the Oscars ceremony rose to nearly 1,500. The weekend box office also skyrocketed from less than 3 million US dollars to nearly 13 million US dollars.
After this round of outbreak, the North American market of "Infinite Walker" was basically exhausted.
So far, the film’s North American box office has accumulated a total of 221.22 million U.S. dollars, and its overseas box office has gained 191.78 million U.S. dollars, and continues to grow with the aid of the Oscar effect.
The global box office of more than 400 million US dollars is enough for Relativity Entertainment to recover all the costs invested in "Infinite Walker", even if it is paid to Martin Scorsese, Tom Cruise and Will Smith, and including Luo After all the main creative staff including Nan were divided into later stages, there was still a slight surplus.
But the offline revenue of the film has just begun.
Just for the first round of TV broadcast rights in North America, "Infernal Traveler" received $16.5 million.
As the winner of many heavyweight awards such as Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture, Embassy Pictures will also release a special Oscar commemorative album of "The Infinite Walker" after the DVD is released. course.
In this era, no matter how good the quality of a film is, it is not as important as selling the disc.
With Netflix's superior DVD rental and sales platform, Relativity Entertainment's DVD business is quite strong.
At the right time, Ronan didn't mind turning the company into a disc seller.
Which of the boys born in the 1980s who used to live on the other side of the Pacific Ocean did not have a wealth of DVD experience?
When contacting the seller with a certain purpose, but could not find a suitable DVD, and could not help showing disappointment, the seller always took it out from the torn sacks, the inner pockets of the jacket and even the crotch just right. Colorful discs emptied buyers' pockets.
As a result, people met Teacher Xu, Teacher Ren, Teacher Li, Teacher Shu, Teacher Ye and so on.
That is also a good memory that many people keep in their hearts.
"Infinite Walker" won the Oscars, all of which continued to the commercial market and transformed into the actual income of Relativity Entertainment.
The Oscar statuettes who cannot bring commercial income have no meaning for the film company.
In the last three years of Oscar feast, Relativity Entertainment has all grabbed the most delicious piece of cake.
Ronan will not deliberately publicize, nor will he deliberately keep a low profile, how to rush for the next few sessions or continue to rush.
Shahai Entertainment has established multiple projects, and it is impossible for him to give up his hopeful interests.
Entering March, Hollywood finally calmed down from the hustle and bustle of the awards season.
The end of the Oscars ceremony means the end of another awards season in Hollywood. After the media caught the last heat of the Oscars and another burst of speculation, Hollywood seemed a lot quieter.
The brokers running in Burbank and Beverly Hills have disappeared, and the business staff of professional public relations companies have entered a dormant period. Stars of all sizes continue to be drunk and busy, waiting for the next awards season.
The film "Slumdog Millionaire" prepared by Relativity Entertainment for the next awards season has completed all filming and production. It will start from this year's Cannes film and embark on a long road to awards.
In addition, "Sunshine Girl" directed by David Fincher will also try the award season operation.
But Ronan is very clear that the subject matter and content of "Sunshine Girl" are determined, and it is impossible to make much of an Oscar.
At the same time, Christopher Nolan, who completed "The Dark Knight", got rid of the promotion of Warner Bros., once again cooperated with Shahai Entertainment, and officially began preparations for "Inception".
Because of Heath Ledger’s death and Warner Bros’s God-Making promotion plan, Christopher Nolan had previously dispersed a lot of energy on "The Dark Knight." The crew of "Inception" was originally planned to be established in February. , Had to be delayed until now.
Nowadays, with the various propaganda of Warner Bros. "The Dark Knight" is far from being released, but with the promotion of some trailers and related character videos, Heath Ledger and the Joker are about to become gods.
Ronan has watched the film of "The Dark Knight" and knows enough about the quality of the film and the splendor of the clown.
There is no doubt that as long as "The Dark Knight" is released, Heath Ledger and the Joker will surely become gods among movie fans.
As Christopher Nolan moved into a new project, the crew of Inception was officially established.
The production cost of this sci-fi production is estimated to be as high as 150 million US dollars. Christopher Nolan has done a lot of preliminary work. It is expected to start filming in October and finish all filming and production before September next year.
As a key first-line commercial production project, Embassy Pictures also prioritized the deadline for the 2008 holiday season for Inception.
In terms of actors, before the Oscars ceremony, Tom Cruise had several contacts with Christopher Nolan to discuss this project specifically, and the two sides have reached a consensus on cooperation.
Stars hope to cooperate with outstanding directors, and outstanding directors also hope to cooperate with stars with great appeal. The two sides complement each other and it is easier to achieve a win-win situation.
Tom Cruise will play the leading actor in "Inception", and several other key actors, Christopher Nolan, after communicating with Ronan in advance, plans to use British actors.
Ronan has no opinion on this, except for a few cases like the little devil~EbookFREE.me~There are too many actors in Hollywood for a certain role.
In addition, Christopher Nolan watched the release of "Juneo" in the past year and was very impressed with the heroine Alan Page and planned to make her play one of the most important supporting actresses.
Regarding actors, Ronan has only two requirements for Christopher Nolan: one is not to use box office poisons like Nicole Kidman and Colin Farrell, and the other is to control the actors' pay.
Tom Cruise must be a base salary of 20 million US dollars plus a certain percentage of the latter part, and all other actors together, the salary will not be higher than Tom Cruise alone.
Superstars and stars are completely two concepts.
After identifying some actors, Ronan received an invitation from Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise won the Oscar for Best Actor and decided to call a small celebration party.
