Chapter 270： The Golden Globes are back

After carefully browsing the North American year-end list in 2003, it is not difficult to find that the so-called sequel movies have dominated the production theme.

There are 4 in the top ten, and there are as many as 8 in the top 20. After removing the animated film and the superhero theme, there are only 9 works with separate themes.

You must know that 5 years ago, it was still the world of independent themes. In a blink of an eye, it became the king of the sequel, and the overall performance was very good.

It can be seen that the production of the sequel is the basis for the real box office guarantee. Thanks to the popularity accumulated by the previous work, as long as the quality is a little better, it can often lead to a good movie viewing trend. Theaters are also more willing to support sequel films.

This is also a reminder for all Hollywood film makers, that is, how to make sequels smoothly, with quality and quantity.

If you dig a little deeper, in terms of the subject matter of the works, in addition to the steady rise of the super-English market, small-budget comedies are still not outdated, and you can see that the influence of VFX blockbusters is gradually increasing.

In other words, in addition to the smoothness of the plot story, fans enjoy the visual feast brought by special effects.

"The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", "The Matrix" 2 and 3, and even "Terminator 3" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" are all typical examples of this kind. Those scenes that are so cool that the real world can never appear, in Today, with the continuous development of computer technology, the intuitive feeling brought by the shaping of the lens image is huge.

On the contrary, crime movies that have never been explosive at the box office suddenly appeared with a masterpiece, which is also a highlight of this year.

As for the tech freaks at Pixar, we won't discuss it. It's the right thing to do. If it loses money one day, it's a good news topic.

Breaking down the breakdown, the top 10 films cover a wide variety of genres—magic epic, hilarious animation, dark crime, action sci-fi, and family comedy.

In addition to the sequel movies, the rest of the genre movies are not unique, and they seem to have their own brilliant side.

This also makes people have more expectations and some uncertainty about the box office trend in the coming year.

......

Of course.

Lyman, who was still hiding on the set to shoot the movie, didn't know the heat of the outside world, and even if he knew, he didn't want to pay attention to it.

After all, for movies, no matter how you predict the market trend, it’s really impossible, and it won’t work. Could it be that the rise of the super-English market can mean that the filming will definitely make money?

In this way, "Hulk" won't lose so badly, and Li Zhao won't be swept out by Universal, and turned to cooperate with Focus Pictures.

So no matter how much you think, it's all in vain.

For Lehmann, he just needs to make a good movie. As for how, it is the choice of the audience and the market.

Shooting continues.

Because the boxing scenes were all filmed intensively, only the second half of the scene after "Maggie" was injured needed to be resolved.

This is definitely a good thing for the crew, without frequent transitions and wasting time for setting scenes.

Everyone can also shoot more coherently, which is conducive to the excessive emotions of the actors.

As the absolute protagonist of the second half, Hilary Swank is also worthy of the acting strength of the Oscar queen. From the perspective of performance, he has truly integrated into the role.

Although lying on the hospital bed every day and being unable to move for a long time is a very torturous thing, but she worked hard and the shooting progress gradually accelerated.

In a flash, the time entered the first weekend of January.

The weather in L.A. was still a bit chilly, and in the midst of intense filming, something was destined to bother Lyman.

On the afternoon of January 6, Johnson, the agent, suddenly called.

"Lyman, how are you over there?"

"Is there a problem?"

There is no need to say polite words.

"Is such that."

Johnson said on the other end of the phone: "The Golden Globe Awards are about to start recently. Your movie "Bad Guy" has been nominated for several nominations. It is estimated that the hope of winning is also very high. You have to come and participate."

Is the Golden Globe Award known as the vane of the Oscars?

Said so, but its authority has not been high, more of an entertainment value.

As one of the largest and most influential awards in the United States, it is held every year, covering almost the most popular stars and directors in the film and TV fields.

why?

Because the special nomination is like no money, just sprinkle it.

Compared with the Oscars, it seems that they prefer to follow the taste of the mainstream public, that is, whoever has the highest box office, who will be awarded the award.

Then, everyone sits together and shares a share of the fruit. Apart from being happy, the ratings are also high, so why not do it.

And "Bad Guy" is the third best work of the year, and will naturally be favored by the jury.

Of course, Lehmann couldn't refuse either.

He still owes the favor of several judges in it. Back then, when people promoted him in the selection of the best foreign language gold medalist, he couldn't even spare some time to go there. That wouldn't give face to the organizing committee, it seems There is no benefit either.

Lehman asked helplessly, "What time?"

"The day after tomorrow, the location is the Chandler Music Hall in downtown Los Angeles. Remember not to be absent."

"Okay, I see, I'll go."

If you go back and forth, it will probably take a day or two. Now "Million Dollar Baby" has been filmed for 4/5 of the scene, and there is a little left...

Forget it, let's take a vacation, and let the crew relax after so many days.

The so-called network circle and influence, it is really inappropriate not to go.

With that in mind, he found Ryan and told him about it.

"No problem, I will arrange it properly. I will take a two-day vacation and start work when you come back."

Ryan said with a smile: "It's a good thing to win an award It will also help to open up the reputation of our film company."

"How can you be more confident than me, maybe I will run away with you."

"Haha, there are so many nominations, I have to give one. The National People's Congress came all the way to participate, and it's embarrassing to let you go home empty-handed. Besides, the box office results are there. Besides the Lord of the Rings, who else can compete?"

To put it this way, "Finding Nemo" is a cartoon after all, and it can't get the awards for live-action movies.

In this way, it is really the same as Ryan said, it is the battle between "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" and "Bad Guy".

Thinking of Peter Jackson's chubby appearance, Lyman snickered again. This guy looked at the meat around the beer belly. It was really intimidating, but in actual combat, it was a no-brainer. After the celebration party that day, he held a more private party, and he couldn't drink even Lehman. He also boasted about a tumbler and never got drunk.

As a result, a bottle of whiskey could not be finished, and the person lay on the ground.

scum.
