Resurgence 511 sparks **   Tracey’s recent life has been difficult, very difficult! She doesn’t even have time to consider the strength of "Schindler's List" because she is already overwhelmed by the troubles around her.

There was a huge contradiction within the crew of "Farewell You Qingtian". The team headed by Mike Nichols was very dissatisfied with Tracy. Mike and others believe that Tracy first angered the "Schindler's List" team because of the ‘private’ grievances, and then was exposed to the scandal of scoring the box office. This is simply pushing "Farewell to Love God" into the pit!

Although "Farewell You Qingtian" did not perform well at the box office, no one would ignore the film’s excellent reputation among film critics. The good character accumulated by director James Ivory is in American film art and science. The college is very reputable. As the organizer of the Oscars, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is a group of old scholars who hold power. Their pursuit of film art can even be said to be rigid. Therefore, even if "Farewell to Love Days" cannot make a breakthrough at the box office, as long as this momentum is maintained, there is still hope for movies to be nominated at Golden Globes, Oscars, and even awards.

Many people have been curious about the charm of Oscar's little golden man, so many people flock to it. As we all know, the authority of Oscars ranks the highest in the world, and winning a golden man is regarded as the highest honor in the film industry. This is a fact, and it is also the foundation accumulated by Oscars over the years.

But in fact, the authority'sex' of the Oscar statuette is more of a comprehensive'sex' prestige, for example, for directors, the awards of the Directors Guild of America are the most authoritative, because the members of the Oscar judges—— That is, the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences-including all aspects of the film production process, from directing to makeup; but the American Directors’ Guild is all professional directors. In other words, the Oscar selection of the best director is a group of professional and non-professional people around to watch the excitement, but the trade union awards are professional and demanding.

Therefore, many directors pay more attention to the American Directors Guild Award, because this is the highest recognition of professional sex. The same is true for all other types of work.

But this is not to say that the Oscar is not authoritative. The authority of the Oscar is a kind of comprehensive ‘sex’, and it represents the comprehensive strength of each type of work and, most importantly, the comprehensive influence. This is also an important reason why Martin Scorsese has been pursuing Oscar's best director Golden Man for nearly forty years.

In addition to authority, the most important thing about Oscar is its influence. This is also the reason why major film companies have spared no expense to create literary and artistic films. In the future, there will even be films specially prepared for the Oscars. In addition to enriching the hall of honor of film companies, the influence of Oscars is behind the scenes. Chain economic benefits are the most important.

To give a simple example, when renting a video tape, there are many movies to choose from, but if someone says "This is an Oscar-winning work", it will naturally attract people's attention. Even if you don't care about Oscars, you will be curious about it. What movie can get an Oscar, or how stereotypical and unpleasant movies get an Oscar... This is the so-called Oscar economy. Ten years later, in 2004, the American Screening Association had a very interesting statistic that for films nominated for Oscars, more than half of the box office was won after the Oscar nominations were announced, similar to the 2002 "No. Lun." The so-called "remaining" box office for such literary and artistic movies as "Love (i and "the." in 2003 due to the Oscar nomination is 100 million U.S. dollars in North America, 100 million U.S. dollars overseas, video tapes or DVDs and Television rights are 100 million U.S. dollars, for a total of 300 million U.S. dollars. More importantly, some elegant works were shot solely for the sake of awards. Without an Oscar, the economic effects caused by the entire film would not be able to play a role.

Once the film won the Oscar statuette, its value immediately increased by a hundredfold! The Screening Association of America made a rough calculation in 2004. The nomination was worth about 30 million U.S. dollars and the prize was worth 20 million U.S. dollars, but this is only North American box office data. . In other words, after a movie is nominated for an Oscar, it can increase theater revenue by about 30 million, and this figure can increase by another 20 million after winning an award.

As for overseas box office, video tape and TV copyright, and other peripheral values, they are not included.

Of course, the specific number depends on many factors, the most critical of which is the commercial value of the film itself and the schedule of release. The heavier the commercial element of the film itself and the farther away the premiere time is from the Oscars, the more the Oscars influence will play a role. small.

"Gladiator( is a very commercial work. It premiered in the United States in May 2000. When it was nominated for an Oscar in February of the following year, it had already earned 99.4% of theater revenue. After nomination, it increased by 0.2%, and after winning the prize, it only increased by 0.4%. The reason is actually very simple, because audiences who want to walk into the movie theater to watch this work have basically already seen it.

The "Shakespeare Love History" that "changed history" in 1998 was completely different. This work was released in December of that year, and when it was nominated in February of the following year, the box office more than doubled; after winning the award at the end of March, The box office increased again by nearly 80%. In the end, more than 60% of the box office of "Shakespeare in Love" was won after the Oscar nomination.

It can be seen that the narrow audiences and artistic "sexual" literary films are most obviously affected by the increase in Oscars. In 2002, "No. Lun Zhilian" was nominated for Oscars with a box office of 19 million U.S. dollars. After being nominated, the final box office stood at 36 million, almost doubled.

This is only the direct impact of Oscars on the box office of the movie, and after the film and video tapes are put on the shelves, the radiation produced is even more profound. To put it simply, there are countless cases of a work that was not favored at the box office, but thanks to an Oscar nomination or even an award, it not only recovered the cost but also made a profit.

"Farewell to You Tian" is obviously a type of work that is in line with the Oscar influence. Although the box office is not strong enough, as long as it can make a difference at the Oscar, there is no need to worry about the North American box office. The video tape market is even more promising, and profitability is just around the corner.

But now, Tracy’s actions have led to very tragic consequences. Columbia Pictures is not only forced to take the lead in taking the film offline, but now the film is shrouded in malicious hype and negative news that floods the box office. As far as the works are concerned, it is a fatal blow. If you are not careful, you will officially bid farewell to this year’s Oscars. Then it will be a real disaster!

Therefore, it is not only the crew of "Farewell to You Tian" that has criticized Tracy, but Columbia Pictures is very dissatisfied with Tracy.

You know, when a producer walks in the movie circle, a huge network of contacts is the most important thing compared to the production ability of ‘color’. Don’t you see that Hollywood has terrible bad movies coming out every year, but the producers and directors who make these bad movies can still receive invitations for new works. This is the role of contacts.

It’s as if Paul-Joenger-Witt invited Hugo to attend the premiere of "Final Analysis". Even though Hugo was shrouded in the “ghost” cloud of the Golden Raspberry Awards, Paul didn’t care at all. . This is the key role of connections. There are also audition opportunities for "Scent of the "Female" and "Yihai Xiongfeng", which were all negotiated by Joseph relying on his personal connections and abilities. In Hollywood, personal connections are always the most important existence. And now, Tracy has offended the two top big bosses Mike Nichols and Steven Spielberg at the same time. Things are bad enough, and it also makes Columbia Pictures dissatisfied with Tracy. , And most importantly, triggered the Jewish community's focus on Tracy. This is not good.

You know, the Jews occupy half of the top management of the six major film companies. They have a strong influence on Hollywood's decision-making trend. Everyone can see. Now Tracy's incitement has not only failed to play a corresponding role, but also I'm afraid that Tracy's life will be very hard in the future; and once the box office is implemented, even if there is no pressure from Jewish groups, it is estimated that other film companies will be cautious again.

At the beginning, Tracy hoped that she could get a career promotion, and then used her identity as a producer to pressure Hugo, making it more difficult for Hugo to find a new job, even if it was not blocked, it was almost the same. But now, Tracy is facing the joint pressure from Mike, Steven, Columbia Pictures and the entire Jewish community. Tracy is now standing on the edge of the cliff, and it is possible to be crushed at any time.

Therefore, Tracy does not have time to care about the horrible results of "Schindler's List", she must take the lead in protecting herself. Recently, Tracy has been in a panic. Although she has not mentioned the extent of street rats~www.readwn.com~, it is an indisputable fact that the work is blocked everywhere. This is also the biggest crisis she has encountered since entering the industry, even on hand. The proposal of "When a man falls in love with a'female' person" has been temporarily shelved.

However, Tracey now has no retreat. She has only Huashan to survive. She has the possibility of survival when she walks to the end. Retreat will not have any effect. What's more, Tracey firmly believed that even if she fell to pieces, she would not let Hugo feel better, at least she would make Hugo embarrassed, and it would be best if two people died together. Tracy embraced the determination of "Jade" and the stone burned, and appreciated the last gorgeous chapter of Hugo's rise by relying on "Schindler's List".

"Hugo, enjoy it, this is your last glory!" Tracey looked at Hugo who was being interviewed on the talk show on TV, and looked at Hugo who was smiling proudly in the spring, Trey. Xi clenched his teeth tightly, almost crushing his own teeth, holding his hands tightly, even if his nails pierced into the'meat', the bright red blood beads appeared unconsciously.

Compared to Tracy’s embarrassment, Hugo has indeed become a popular career lately. The contrast between the two heavens of ice and fire cannot be more obvious!
