While "Stealing Love" won the weekly box office championship, the box office accumulated to 69284035 US dollars, almost breaking the $70 million mark.

John is naturally very happy to get such box office results, knowing that the box office of this movie in the previous life was only more than 70 million US dollars. And in this life, "Stealing Love" has only been released for four weeks, and it has almost caught up with the results of the previous life.

And the most important thing is that this movie can stay in theaters for at least three weeks, whether these three weeks can make the box office exceed 100 million John is not sure, but it is certain that it will surpass his previous life.

Although the results of "Stealing Love" in this life are better than in previous lives, John does not think that he is better than Harold Remis. The reason why this film has achieved such results is due to many factors.

For example, the title of the film, the name of "Groundhog Day" when it was released in the previous life was "Groundhog Day", when fans came to the theater to see the title of "Groundhog Day", many people regarded it as a documentary, so they lost many fans, and finally after the distribution and production found problems, they changed "Groundhog Day" to "Groundhog Day", but at that time the movie had been removed from North American theaters.

And in this life, John learned the lessons of his previous life, and where the script was created, he directly named the movie "Stealing Love" to avoid the tragedy of his previous life.

For example, in the film distribution fee, although "Stealing Love" was produced and distributed by Columbia Pictures in the previous life, the distribution fee of the entire film was only a few million dollars. And in this life, John invested $10 million in the distribution fee for "Stealing Love", you must know that even "Jurassic Park" is only a $10 million distribution fee. So the box office is higher than in the previous life, and it is a matter of course.

There are also actors, the heroes and heroines of "Stealing Love" in this life, John was replaced by Jim Carrey and Sandra Bullock, both of whom are higher than Bill Murray and Andy McDowell in terms of appearance and acting skills. With their joining, the reputation of "Stealing Love" has also improved a lot compared with the previous life, and it naturally has some positive impact on the box office.

The last and most important thing is the movie soundtrack, "Stealing Love" has not yet been screened in this life, just because the movie soundtrack has attracted everyone's attention. John's five songs for the film have all occupied the top five of the B-chart, which is not an impressive achievement, and the sales of millions of movie soundtracks are enough to pull many fans into the theater to pay for the movie.

Therefore, it is normal for the box office performance of "Stealing Love" in this life to exceed that of the previous life.

After John, Dani, and Nancy discussed the box office of the movie, John solemnly looked at Nancy with an excited face. "Nancy, you discuss with New Line tomorrow, I want "Stealing Love" to participate in the 64th Academy Awards. ”

"What?" Nancy was blinded when she heard John's words. She was completely unprepared.

"John!" is a good shot, but it's still a long way from winning the award, and you're too young for the academy to give you the award. Nancy came back to her senses and persuaded John. The old men of the academy are very stubborn, and it takes a lot of resources to participate in the Oscars, and they have to invest millions in lobbying fees. Such an investment is a waste for a film that has no hope of winning an award.

"I know!" John nodded. "But I went to the Oscars just to compete for one award, Best Original Song. John was obviously not arrogant enough to compete for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, with "Stealing Love...... These heavyweight awards. All he wants is the award for Best Original Song.

"Best Original Song!" Nancy's eyes lit up when she heard John's answer.

The Oscars are beneficial, not only in terms of reputation, but also financially. As long as you can get the best picture and best director at the Oscars, the box office of the movie will increase again after winning the award, and the most important thing is that after winning the award, it will affect the sales of film and video tapes.

As for the Best Original Song award, although it does not increase the box office of the film and has no impact on the sales of the videotape, this award has a lot of benefits for the sales of the original soundtrack.

Nancy weighed it in her mind and looked at John and said, "Okay! I'll go to New Line Pictures early tomorrow morning." ”

The better the movie soundtrack sells and the more profit it makes, the more Nancy will get, so she naturally agreed to John to go to the Oscars.

And John's idea of winning the Oscar for Best Original Song is similar to Nancy's, and he just wants to use this award to make the soundtrack go on fire once.

As for whether he can win the award, John is not worried, if the heads of those old men of the academy are not caught by the door, then the award for the best original song must belong to him.

The reason why John dared to be so sure was because in his previous life, "When You Believe" was originally the Oscar for Best Original Song.

And the most important thing is that Hollywood is the stronghold of the Democratic Party, and the Morgan family is the leader of the Democratic Party, and to put it bluntly, even the Oscar conference fee is given by the Morgan family, so John has a natural advantage for the Oscar. It can be said that as long as his work is not too bad, he will definitely win the award.

It may be a bit fanciful to say this, but it is true, for the Oscars, the artistry of the film is far less important than the political leaning and the factors of the times, and the premise of wanting to win the award is not the artistry of the film, but the political inclination must be correct.

So some people are also criticizing the Oscars, saying that the Oscars are politically correct entertainment. The film itself is a political medium, and the Oscars and politics can never be separated, and it has to choose whether to stand on the side of the Democratic Party or the Republican Party.

But it is clear that the Oscars and Hollywood as a whole finally chose the Democratic Party and became the stronghold of the Democratic Party, and John, as the future leader of the Democratic Party, went to the Oscars for his works, and the old man of the academy naturally wanted to move the award to him, which has nothing to do with art, but an attitude to establish a political position.

After the Oscar was over, John looked at Dani a little tiredly, and he was ready to finish the last thing, just take a good rest and sleep until he woke up naturally. "Danie, remember to order me a bouquet of flowers for the teacher today. ”

Today is his teacher's memorial day, and he can't go to France in person, so he can only order a bouquet of flowers.

"I had already called yesterday to go to France, and this morning, the florist will send someone to deliver the flowers. "Dani has already arranged it in advance. She knows a lot about John, including how many mentors John has, how many of these mentors are alive, how many have died, and where they are buried, she knows all about it, so she can naturally arrange it in advance.
