January 16.

Chandler Hall, Los Angeles.

The 64th Golden Globe Awards ceremony to which Lehmann was invited is finally over.

Although many people like to call the Golden Globes the "Oscar vane", in fact, the credibility is really low, at least people in the industry regard this as a lively one.

Perhaps only actors will need some acting awards to add to their worth.

After all, the Golden Globes are very playful every year, and the award is about a person who is not afraid of big things, has the best topic, and is fruitful.

From another point of view, since the Golden Globe Awards sponsored by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has always been held in the nature of a "networking dinner", the warm and hospitable attitude basically determines the allocation strategy that everyone has nominations and is reasonably divided.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that this year they will bestow the best drama film, director, screenwriter and foreign language film respectively to "No Country for Old Men", "Infernal Affairs", "The Queen" and "Iwo Jima Letter".

It is worth mentioning that after Martin Scorsese won the Golden Globe Best Director Award again, the grief and resentment Oscar's best director's statue is once again close at hand; old rival Clint Eastwood is in the way. The self-distribution of "Iwo Jima II" under the door, eating the banknotes of Japanese management, and being criticized by some people, the probability of posing a threat again is much smaller.

Of course, Clint Eastwood actually has difficulties.

After all, Sony has already won MGM and Columbia. As a director, he still insists that he can't do it, and he will naturally go down after a step.

Let's look at the performance awards. The two nominations are both. Because of Xiao Lizi, who was on the list for "Infernal Affairs" and "Blood Diamond", the two nominations in the Best Actor Award in the Drama category are very domineering. Unfortunately, the award does not belong to him. The judges put the best actor. The crown goes to Forrest Whittaker, the hero of The Last Dictatorship.

Of course, Forest Whitaker did a good job.

On the contrary, Helen Mirren, who is the best actress in the drama category and the best actress in the TV movie category, can be described as this year’s The biggest winner of the Golden Globes even made everyone think that the Golden Globes lost its tradition.

However, this is just a small episode.

Then the little-known British TV celebrity Sasha Berron Cohen won the best actor in the musical comedy category with the image of self-destruction in "Borat".

In terms of best supporting actor and actress, with "Dreamgirls" winning the best musical comedy category, the film's two supporting actors, Eddie Murphy and Jennifer Hudson, lived up to expectations and won both.

In terms of the best foreign language film, the three powerful enemies "Pan's Labyrinth", "Eavesdropping Storm" and "Return" have never played the "Iwo Jima Letter" by the local tycoon Eastwood. As expected—this year is the year of the Oscars. Don't support yourself?

In short, the excitement of this Golden Globe Awards is over.

Firefly Pictures also successfully won the award, avoiding the embarrassment of countless nominations and empty hands.

In other words, the Golden Ball is not an Oscar, and people are obviously sensible and smarter.

To be able to make the guests feel no dissatisfaction, it is not enough without two brushes.

There are also beautiful ways to divide the fruit.

Some "underappreciated" Xiao Lizi have also won the Golden Globe Actor. Isn't it appropriate to leave it to those who haven't won?

Anyway, it's over.

In the theater market at this time, the North American box office of "Night at the Museum" has exceeded 130 million, and the daily profit can still reach 2 million or 3 million. It is not a problem to double it on Saturdays and Sundays. Still maintained a relatively good follow-up screening.

......

After the development of the Internet, it seems that many people have the opportunity to speak, and the road to success for public figures has become more and more difficult.

In other words, if the former big-name stars are put into the 21st century, it is still unknown whether they can succeed, because even Angelina Jolie has begun to try to whitewash her, although she has many black materials.

But what does it matter? You slander yours, and I wash mine. As long as it can affect the senses of so many people or make uninformed passers-by still have a good impression of her, then her approach is right.

What's more interesting is that word-of-mouth spread of movies is much faster than in the media age.

Untouchable is a project that has benefited from this.

When the domestic box office of "Untouchable" passed 160 million in France, and the day slipped and tended to stabilize, it was the beginning of the film miracle.

After 9 consecutive weeks of champions, the box office has grown against the trend, with an increase of as high as 27%, which once again shocked the local French filmmakers - a real thing.

Why call it a miracle.

Because it is a very objective fact that as the show time increases, the box office harvest of the movie must gradually decrease.

Maybe there are times when you are wrong at the beginning, for example, the box office of "Little Miss Sunshine" in the original time and space is 70% higher than that in the first week, but that is rare.

Not to mention that a movie that has been on display for almost two months suddenly ushered in an explosion, even the three distributors of EMI, Gao Meng, and Europa, who are the most delighted and eager to see this situation, have never thought so.

Movies, there will eventually be a moment when the painting is finished, it will be up and down, and it will be normal that the cinema does not like to put it at the end.

Who would have thought that a movie that was originally based on this normal script would still resist - no words can describe Luc Besson's shock, even if he repeatedly confirmed the data with the theater at the first time, it was indeed true. of contrarian growth.

In other words, there is no need for the theater to tell this lie.

According to the release terms, the box office will score points in the end anyway. It is not easy to conceal the report, and it will also lose a lot of money to the issuer due to illegal operations.

There is no reason for them to do this, and it is impossible for them to pay for a higher figure in private.

The latter is generally something that the producer will do.

For example, breaking a record, raising your face, and improving the image of the label, all the similar purpose of buying a box office cannot be to serve the cinema, and the bigger role lies in other places.

For this reason, many newspapers worked overtime overnight to change the layout.

Because it's topical enough, isn't it?

Like the next day, which is February 19.

"Le Figaro" used the entertainment front page to tell the public such an interesting thing, "After 58 days of screening, "Untouchable" has grown against the trend, or is expected to surpass "Titanic"!"

Very concise report, but very effective to the public.

The media have pointed out that "Untouchable" may perform a "big ship" miracle - only in the European market.

"Titanic", it almost broke the 17 million viewers at the beginning, and it is still at the top of the French box office charts over the years because of the ticket price.

In other words, the French film market has been dominated by one Hollywood film for so long.

Although, this is also because the local movies are not very competitive, and they always shoot some and some, and the audience has used their actions to prove that **** art is not good.

But it doesn't mean that the French audience has no other ideas.

Every region should have its own film culture.

Even Japan, which has been bullied by the United States, has its animation film culture slapped with American blockbusters, and even re-screenings of old movies slapped foreign works from the same period.

Not to mention that the French media, the government and local filmmakers are willing to push "Untouchable".

Maybe some people don't like this movie, but it's definitely more worthy of promotion than "Titanic".

Not to mention political correctness, although there are also some cultural considerations.

But these reports mainly want to come up with a fact: let the audience clearly realize that the next performance of Untouchable" is likely to change the existing box office pattern.

Furthermore, Lehmann's appeal is much greater than that of the two directors in his previous life.

The accumulation of many works has made his film itself a golden sign.

In the original time and space, when "Untouchable" broke 100 million locally, the French Prime Minister personally called on the audience to watch it, but in the end, it was still a step behind, only more than 166 million.

It's not that the movie is not good enough, but that the box office started off low, and it has been steady and steady.

At this time and space, the three publishers worked together to promote, and there were more publicity resources than the previous life.

Subsequently, the top three companies also reacted, and there was another wave of propaganda bombardment by the heat.
