My ex-wife is a big star

Chapter 286 Oscar

the next day.

"Spirited Away" was officially released in Japan.

On the first day, it earned 6 million yen at the box office, equivalent to about 3000 million soft sister coins.

Compared with the domestic box office of [-] million on the first day, I feel that the gap is still quite large.

But we also have to look at the population. The population of Wa country is about 1.26 million, which is less than one-tenth of that of Hua country.

Judging from the population ratio of the two countries, the first day is equivalent to [-] million domestically.

In addition, the influence of Hua Guo's movies in Wa Guo is very limited, far inferior to Hollywood blockbusters.

Huaguo Films can achieve this result on the first day, which is already considered very good.

With Japanese people's love for animation, after Chihiro's word-of-mouth ferments, the box office should reverse.

Moreover, the release time of Japanese movies is generally relatively long, and movies with a good reputation will not be bad at the box office.

The release period of most domestic movies is about one month.

Even if it is a blockbuster movie with a good box office, it will last for two or three months at most.

Compared with the country of Wa, it really pales in comparison, and the films of the country of Wa are released for a longer period of time.

For example, the previous "Ghost Slayer: Infinity Train" was released after seven months of release, which is unthinkable in China.

……

A few days later.

Jiang Shu went to Los Angeles alone to prepare for the Oscars.

Because the award ceremony is not as tedious and long as the film festival.

There was only one night for the awards ceremony, Jiang Shu didn't bring any assistants, and set off with a suitcase alone.

As for Gu Yaoqing, she can raise her baby at home with peace of mind.

Although today's Oscars, the international attention is not as good as before.

But after all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and its status in the world is still there.

Moreover, in the international arena, sometimes the attention of foreign film awards is higher than that of the United States.

Just as many domestic audiences know that South Korea's "Parasite" won the Oscar for Best Picture, but most people don't know what the best film in the United States was.

This is also beneficial to non-English films such as "Spirited Away".

And just won the Golden Bear Award, if he can win another Oscar, the popularity will definitely go to a higher level.

Because a movie that won both the Berlin Golden Bear Award and the Oscar for Best International Film at the same time has never happened in this world.

If Spirited Away can win these two awards, it will be the first film to achieve this achievement, and it is destined to be on the pages of major international media.

As for whether he can win the Oscar, Jiang Shu is not very sure.

After all, Oscar awards are more or less related to politics and ideology.

Although the three major European film festivals also have this problem, but if you have to compete, the inclusiveness of the three major film festivals is definitely better than Oscar.

After all, the Oscar is essentially an award for the American people, and there is no essential difference from the domestic Golden Rooster Award.

Just like "Infernal Affairs" back then, it didn't even get an Oscar nomination.

After that, the United States bought the adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs", which was remade by the famous director Martin Scorsese.

This remake won several heavyweight Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay.

It is worth mentioning that in 2019, Martin Scorsese's masterpiece "The Irishman" lost to "Parasite" in the Oscar for Best Picture.

"Infernal Affairs" still competed with films from other countries, and had nothing to do with local American films.

Now "Spirited Away" is going to compete with American animated films, just like "Parasite".

Because the award for the best animated feature film is put together by animations from all over the world.

Chihiro's competitors are Disney and DreamWorks in the United States, among which Disney has shortlisted three animated feature films.

In the American animation film market, Disney is already the only one.

Jiang Shu didn't know what the result would be, but whether Qian Xun won the award or not, it would not affect the filming in the United States.

On the night of March 3rd, Los Angeles time.

This year's Oscar Awards Ceremony has officially started, and there will naturally be live video broadcasts in China.

In the past, not many people paid attention to the Oscars in China, but because of Jiang Shu this year, the domestic attention has naturally soared.

"Brother Jiang, come on!"

"Although the Oscars are very famous, I haven't watched the live broadcast of the Oscars in my life. Today is the first time [cover my face]"

"Hot knowledge, Chinese films have not won an Oscar for 20 years [狗头]"

"Just be happy if you get this award, it doesn't matter if you don't have it, don't take it too seriously."

"I can only say that if you don't win an award, it's not Jiang's fault, it's Oscar's fault."

"..."

Compared with the three major film festivals, the red carpet scene of the Oscars can be said to be full of stars, and there are quite a lot of superstars and big names now.

And at the three major film festivals, there will be many little-known little directors and little actors.

In other words, the Big Three will give many unknown filmmakers a chance.

But this kind of situation does not exist in the Oscars, and it is difficult for the little transparent in the showbiz to have the opportunity to come here.

Jiang Shu walked on the red carpet, except that he saw Chinese fans around him.

Among the stars attending the awards ceremony, he has not seen a single East Asian face, all of them are Europeans and Americans.

I feel that as a Chinese, I am a bit out of tune with them.

However, there is a South Korean film for this year's best international film, so there must be more than one person of yellow race on the scene, but I haven't met him yet.

After Jiang Shu finished walking the red carpet, a reporter came up to interview him on the spot, which seemed to pay more attention to him.

However, most of the domestic viewers who watched the live broadcast were a little confused.

"Please translate!"

"What did Brother Jiang say?"

"Slags in English say they don't understand [crying]"

"I didn't study hard at the beginning, but now I know I was wrong!"

"..."

After Jiang Shu finished the interview, he entered the ceremony site, playing with his mobile phone and quietly waiting for the awards to start.

After the ceremony begins, the first person to appear is naturally the host.

The opening was a very fluent humorous talk show of nearly 10 minutes, interspersed with the introduction of some of the nominated stars in the audience.

This must have been rehearsed many times in advance, and there was also a teleprompter script on the spot.

After the 10-minute opening, the awards began.

The first award to be awarded is Best Supporting Actor, which can be regarded as a relatively important award.

Under normal circumstances, after the best male supporting role is awarded, it should be the best female supporting role.

But this is not the case for the Oscars. Their Best Supporting Actor and Female Supporting are separated, and the female supporting role is still behind.

Then came the awards for costumes and make-up.

However, Jiang Shu's attention must only be the best animated feature film.

The Oscars have a total of 24 awards, and this year's Best Animated Feature Film will be the tenth award awarded.

Before that, Jiang Shu just kept giving them polite applause.
