Chatty Hollywood

Video tapes, and DVDs that emerged after them, have always been an important money-making tool for the film industry.

Moreover, with the development of the times, the proportion of its profits will continue to grow.

With profits, the morality of film makers has begun to drop-

After all, compared with the box office revenue that must be distributed to distributors and theaters, the cost of video tapes and DVDs is almost negligible. Revenue can be described as a net profit. Who is not tempted?

The popularity of movie clips and director's cut editions borrowed from this trend. In order to sell video tapes and DVDs, Hollywood studios do everything they want.

Raiders on Oscar nominations and awards is also one of the more effective methods.

The reason is simple, because Oscars will increase the reputation of the film. This reputation helps viewers who choose video tapes and DVDs to choose themselves.

Of course, I usually like to do this, mostly art films with low cost and low reputation, or independent films.

For this kind of film, Oscar nominations and awards are a very effective gimmick.

In fact, many Austrian films had poor box office revenue before winning the award, and they were able to make substantial profits because of the box office and subsequent video tape or DVD revenue brought by the Oscar halo.

The company of the well-known, or infamous, Weinstein brothers in the independent film industry, its profit model is like this——

Choose a low-cost movie-Chong Ao-get nominations and awards-the movie is famous-start to sell money...

However, this process is relatively long, and the operation is quite cumbersome. Large-scale production companies with relatively strong capabilities, such as the Seven Hollywood, generally don't like this model.

They can afford to shoot commercial blockbusters and invest a huge amount of publicity costs, and they don't need to borrow Oscars to increase their aura and popularity.

Compared with the gradual aesthetics of the Oscar judges, what they need to care more about is the hobby of the audience.

——This is one reason why commercial films and Oscars are drifting away.

However, under certain conditions, commercial films will also have the need and possibility of impacting the Oscars-an additional Oscar halo is always beneficial to video tape and DVD income!

The movie "Drifthead Valley" just meets this condition-

First, this film does have the strength to hit the Oscars, and it has actually won seven nominations.

Although analyzed separately, of these seven nominations, only two or three of "Dropped Head" are more promising.

But on the whole, it makes people feel that no matter which award this movie wins, it is reasonable.

After all, upset does exist!

Even a film that can be nominated for seven awards is not upset at all.

This is especially true in the award for the best film that emphasizes overall strength.

Charlotte overlooked this point in her own analysis--

He gave more consideration to the weakness of "Drifthead Valley" in a single award, but did not consider bringing these weaknesses together. If the public relations are proper, it can be turned into an advantage to a certain extent.

Just as he also ignored, this movie was moved from the original world in 1999 to this world in 1995, and it also took a lot of time advantage.

Although "Drifthead Vale" produced by Charlotte is not the same as "Drophead Vale" in the original world-apart from anything else, the magic effects used by Charlotte alone have made this movie completely different. NS.

What's more, the "Driftwood" shot by Charlotte is not the gothic style of the original Tim Burton.

Although it cannot be said that there is no gothic style, Charlotte's version of "Decapitated Vale" is more eerie and terrifying in the dark, but it is bright and shining in the light.

——This must be the role of Charlize Katrina, who has been modified by Charlotte, and it is also an important reason why the girl can be nominated for the best actress for the first time.

It can be said that the overall style of this "Guillotine Valley" is like a heavy ink oil painting, with distinct color contrasts.

Putting aside the shell of its commercial film, from the perspective of many details, it is really very artistic.

And this is the most seriously overlooked point by Charlotte.

He had seen the original version and many good movies in later generations, but he did not realize the particularity of his version of "Guillotine Valley".

He still only measured the possibility of hitting the Oscar based on the situation of the original "Guillotine Valley", but forgot the time advantage and the changes he himself brought to the film.

"Actually, your director level is really good! If you have a relatively low level of qualifications, you might really be the best director."

Andrew Kevin Walker talked to Charlotte while explaining to him Paramount’s operation at this year’s Oscars.

"According to our investigation, many of the judges liked the images you shot for "Drifthead Valley". This is the main reason why we can get the best photography and best art direction."

Of course, the level of the "Driftwood Valley" movie is relatively high, but it is possible to get an Oscar, but it is not the real reason for winning the best movie Golden Man.

——This point, Charlotte and Andrew have made it clear before.

What really makes Paramount willing to do a lot of public relations for the movie "Drop Head" is the second reason——

Second, the videotape of "Guillotine Valley" will be released soon, shortly after the Oscars.

According to the tradition of Hollywood movies, video tapes or DVDs are generally released within 3 to 6 months after the movie is released.

"Guillotine Valley" was released on Halloween in 1995, and the Oscar ceremony was held on March 25, 1996.

After all, the time is almost the same.

Therefore, Paramount, who had invested in "Driftwood" and was able to share the profits of the video tape, started the idea of ​​borrowing an Oscar to win another vote.

"This is the will of our Queen personally!"

Andrew shrugged at Charlotte~www.readwn.com~ Shirley Lansing! ? "

Andrew Kevin Walker, Paramount's mid-level and high-level producer, can be called "Her Majesty", naturally only Shirley Lansing, currently chairman of Paramount Pictures Group.

As the first woman to lead a first-line film group in Hollywood history, Shirley Lansing is currently the most powerful woman in Hollywood, and it is not too much to be called "Her Majesty".

As far as Charlotte knows, this woman who is idolized by Judy Foster is indeed very shrewd.

And now it seems that "Guillotine Valley" can get the best movie of this year's Oscar, it seems to be another proof——

"Shirley feels that most of the seven nominations for "Drophead Valley" do not have an advantage, but the psychology of the judges is very strange. It is likely that they will eventually have a compensatory psychology because of the constant denial of "Drophead Valley". "

"So you used this compensatory psychology to the best movies?"

Charlotte interrupted Andrew's narration.

"Have you reached an agreement with Judy Foster that I don't know?"
