Chapter 2297

The best screenwriter award of the 72nd Golden Globe Award finally belongs to "Birdman". This shot aims at the unique works of the drama stage and film industry. With the long shot of "one shot to the end", it vividly shows the style of Mexican director Alessandro Gonzalez inarito, following Alfonso Caron last year, Mexican directors once again shine award season, and the momentum of "Birdman" is also rising.

So far, another year's cake has come to an end: in his youth, he won three trophies of best film, best director and best supporting actress, becoming the biggest winner; Then "Birdman" won the best screenwriter award and best actor in musical comedy category, while the other seven awards belong to seven films respectively, and the Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association once again achieved "impartial and happy".

However, it is still too early to say the pattern of the second stage. This year, the average strength of the major film companies is very close. The real key lies in the college's public relations, which also means that there may be countless unexpected development possibilities in the second stage.

At present, the best overall situation is undoubtedly the Sony classic, "pop drummer", "still Alice", "Fox Hunter", "Night Walker", "Leviathan" and "Mr. Turner" are still likely to win the Oscar nomination——

However, too much choice is the trouble of happiness, so how to arrange public relations resources is very important; At the same time, Sony also needs to face another thorny problem:

Hacking.

Before the Golden Globe award ceremony, Harvey Weinstein once mentioned one thing when talking with his younger brother, "Sony is too busy now". This is not to imply that Sony classic is dazzled by too many choices, but to imply that Sony Columbia is too busy.

Just a month and a half ago, a hacker incident happened in Hollywood, which caused a sensation all over the world and made the major film companies panic.

On November 24, the hacker organization "guardian of peace" announced the email of Sony Columbia Pictures employees, involving the company's executive compensation and copies of Sony's non released films. The direct purpose of this action is to "prevent the films from being" interviewed "but the subsequent fermentation of the incident is very bad.

"Interview" is a work shot by James Franco and Seth Logan in collaboration with the ranzai Gang, depicting an assassination against the supreme leader of North Korea.

Hackers said that once the film is released, they may launch further radical actions, or even events similar to "September 11"; From the investigation report of US intelligence officials, it seems that there is a close relationship between the whole incident and the North Korean authorities.

In the next six weeks, the whole incident became more and more intense. Sony Columbia Pictures launched a seesaw battle with hackers and refused to compromise easily. In the end, it was ready to release the film forcibly on Christmas Eve, but allowed the right of each theater line to choose to take it off the shelves. This forcible action caused a big stir in Hollywood, and there was a fierce debate between supporters and opponents, Things have gone off the track.

In the end, the development of things became more and more tense. Sony Columbia Pictures delayed the release of "interview" temporarily, but there was no final conclusion on how to follow up.

If it's only about whether a film should be shown, then the event is far from a storm, and it's more about the management's choice and decision-making of sensitive themes; But the real deterrence of hacker incidents still comes from the joint effect——

Hackers published the contents of the email detonated countless industry insider! Any inside information may involve all aspects like pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud.

For example, Amy Pascal, CO chairman of Sony Columbia Pictures, and Scott Rudin, the industry's top producer, have repeatedly discussed Angelina Jolie in their email. Angelina hopes that David finch will be the director of the work "Cleopatra" under discussion. In the email, Scott said, Angelina is "a spoiled child with limited talent", but he doesn't want her to get involved in the Steve Jobs movie he's planning.

For another example, Amy Pascal told Scott Rudin by e-mail that she was going to meet President Barack oguanhai. She called the president a "racist"; But Scott didn't like it. He thought that they should talk more about African American films, such as "the liberated Jango", "twelve years of slavery", "White House housekeeper" and other works about American slavery and the pre civil rights era. Obviously, they still hold a prejudice against the president.

For example, George Clooney sent an email to Amy Pascal complaining that he didn't fall asleep for 30 hours after reading the negative comments of Hollywood media on his self edited and self directed "allied looters"; And this work also changed his position of directing career.

These emails cover all aspects of the Hollywood film industry, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Downey Jr., Johnny Depp and other actors. As the most popular Langley at the moment, he has not been able to get rid of the topic. Amy calls him a "tough guy" in the email, Scott responded, "he's just a noble man.".

Every e-mail is like a time bomb, which may detonate the focus if you are not careful. It's like standing under the spotlight and tearing open the vanity fair's gorgeous clothes, exposing the lining covered with lice underneath.

Although the above argument has been chaotic enough, it is the "pay issue" that really ignites the whole Hollywood discussion frenzy.

At the beginning of 2014, "Grand Theft Auto No.1" and "Jurassic world" broke the new high of film pay successively, and adjusted and changed the whole salary structure of Hollywood. In the past year, Hollywood actors have made more or less profits. As a key figure in breaking the pattern, lenley has undoubtedly become the first person in Hollywood.

As for the actress, Jennifer Lawrence is the current focus. Although she does not have the ability to change the whole salary structure, she will also become a member of the 20 million club with the excellent performances of "X-Men" and "hunger game"; More importantly, she is about to have her own absolute female dominant position——

In the "X-Men: Apocalypse" to be filmed in the second half of the year, Jennifer will replace James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender as the core female owner.

However, among the many e-mails exposed by the hacking incident, it is mentioned that the remuneration of last year's award season's hit work "American hoax":

Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams are paid 7% of their final profits, while Christian bell, Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Reiner and director David o-russell are paid 9% of their final profits.

Some people are bound to say that there is an objective difference in the income of the leading role and supporting role, but the real situation is far from that

If we just talk about the number of parts, Jeremy Reiner's parts are less than those of Jennifer and Amy. Moreover, he is far from being the top one in Hollywood. He can only be regarded as a member of the front-line camp in Hollywood. There is a slight gap between his positions and those of Jennifer and Amy.

If we want to talk about the box office appeal, Jennifer's Hollywood momentum is the best, while the other four actors can not be regarded as "box office type", so there is no so-called box office appeal. The real focus should be on Jennifer.

What's more, "American scam" declared from the beginning of the project that it was a star movie, with all the five actors as the leading roles, on an equal footing with the director. In the Oscar competition, Jennifer, Bradley and Jeremy signed up for supporting roles, while Amy and Christian signed up for leading roles. But in fact, there is no obvious difference in the roles. In other words, this is indeed a multi line interweaved film with "every role is the leading role", sharing the autumn equally.

But now?

According to the final data, the income of Jennifer and Amy should be about $9 million, while that of Christian, Bradley, Jeremy and David is $12 million, which is less than $3 million, which is equivalent to 30% of the income of female actors.

Similarly, as the leading role, the status, weight and role are almost the same, but the pay gap is so obvious, even a huge gap. This undoubtedly has a strong impact.

In particular, Jennifer Lawrence's current momentum is irresistible, but she is still treated like this. The so-called "keeping abreast of Langley" seems to be more like a bubble. It is so intuitive and vivid to show the level difference within the Hollywood industry, which undoubtedly ignites the focus of discussion.

"Gender discrimination" and "equal pay for men and women" have immediately become the core focus of Hollywood. After Langley broke the pay structure for all actors, now the actors union hopes to break the ceiling of actress' pay with the help of Jennifer Lawrence. This will be another war——

In a mighty and vigorous way, this wave of momentum has swept through Hollywood, and even Harvey Weinstein is behind it. If Jennifer Lawrence can really promote this event, her personal film payment will reach a new high, and her personal reputation will also go up to a higher level, just like Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep and others, Really have their own influence among the actors.

As soon as things got out of hand, it was estimated that even the hackers did not expect it. How did the situation develop to such a state?

This is the dilemma Sony Columbia film industry is facing: domestic and foreign troubles, even other large Hollywood film companies have accused Sony Columbia of security problems, and they all have to live with their tails in their hands, and the issue of "equal pay for men and women" is a hot potato.

Therefore, the best situation is Sony Columbia Pictures, but the most complex situation is Sony Columbia Pictures.
