The end of the Oscars means the end of another awards season in Hollywood, and many companies, including Relativity Entertainment, have begun to prepare for the next awards season.

For example, among the films produced by Shahai Entertainment, "The Departed" and "Juno" are aiming for the next Oscars.

Not only is the filming of the former completed, but the post-production is also almost complete, and the road to the award will begin at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year.

The latter is perfectly in time for the Venice Film Festival in August.

Although after the Oscars, many media and conservatives bombarded "Brokeback Mountain", and there was also news that Heath Ledger publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Ang Lee within the crew, but the five Oscar statuettes, especially the best picture and best director, "Brokeback Mountain" is enough to set off a frenzy of money in the global market.

In North America, "Brokeback Mountain" once again expanded its screening scale, and the number of theaters screened increased to more than 2,100 again, and the Oscar effect was obvious, and the weekend box office skyrocketed from $3.2 million to $16.88 million.

The film also grossed $72.2 million at the North American box office.

As a long-term literary film, "Brokeback Mountain" is very likely to hit the $100 million mark at the North American box office in the end.

Overseas, the Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director are also starry, with $32.18 million at the overseas box office this weekend, and nearly $60 million at the overseas box office.

Embassy Pictures' most conservative estimate is that "Brokeback Mountain" will grossing $200 million worldwide.

Relativity Entertainment's total investment in the film, including the production budget, the Venice Film Festival and Toronto Film Festival promotional awards, as well as the North American awards season and various publicity expenses, totals $35 million.

Of that, more than $12 million was spent on the publicity and public relations of the North American awards season.

With "Brokeback Mountain" winning big at the Oscars, the North American box office alone was enough for Relativity Entertainment to recoup its investment.

The Oscars should not only be effective at the box office, but also through various offline channels.

The first round of television rights to "Brokeback Mountain" in North America has been sold, selling for a whopping $10 million.

As a literary film, it is commendable to have such a high profit.

Hollywood shoots and produces so many literary films every year, and it is rare to have such a commercial influence as "Brokeback Mountain".

The social impact of this film actually goes far beyond the scope of the Oscar for Best Picture.

At the same time that "Brokeback Mountain" gave full play to the Oscar effect, Ronan also received another piece of good news.

On Monday, local time in the United Kingdom, the DVD of "Mamma Mia" went on sale, and on the same day, it set a new record with an astonishing 1.7 million copies sold on the first day, becoming the champion of "first-day DVD and videotape sales in the UK"!

The original record was held by the DVD and videotape of "Titanic", which sold 1.1 million copies on its first day in the UK when it hit the shelves in 1998.

"Mamma Mia" surpasses its 600,000 copies!

This musical adaptation of the West End of England has shown amazing commercial vibrancy in its home country.

It's not just the DVDs that are outstanding, it's the box office.

"Mamma Mia" grossed as much as $96.45 million when it was out of gear in the UK!

This is enough to rank in the top five on the all-time box office charts in the UK!

Even Ronan didn't expect that a song and dance film could earn such a high income in an overseas market in the UK.

This also made Shahai Entertainment pay more attention to another song and dance film project.

John Waters, the director of the cult film, single-handedly created the brilliance of the revue, and Ronan simply handed over the project to him, with John Waters in full charge, and Allianz Insurance as a third-party guarantor to monitor the financial situation of the crew.

From last year's project to the present, John Waters' preparations have been progressing in an orderly manner, and after consulting with Ronan, he hired Adam Shankeman, who directed "A Basket of Children" and "Brave Daddy", as the director.

Among the main cast members that have been confirmed, the crew has brought in John Travolta to play the mother of the heroine, and Michelle Pfeifer, who once played Catwoman, to play another important female role.

As for the heroine, it really made it difficult for the crew, and it was not easy to find a suitable candidate.

A young actress with basic acting skills, excellent singing skills, and a fat person has really limited options.

Shahai Entertainment contacted a number of brokerage companies, but there were more than a dozen candidates to recommend, but none of the performances in the audition satisfied John Waters and director Adam Shankeman.

Ahead of the Oscars, John Waters, with the assistance of Relativity Entertainment, expanded his search to English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia.

In mid-March, the crew of "Hairspray" submitted the final female lead audition results to Ronan, and a 17-year-old fat girl from the United Kingdom finally got the role after three rounds of auditions and defeated more than a dozen competitors.

When Ronan saw the heroine's information, he felt a little unbelievable.

Because this 17-year-old British fat girl is called Adele Adkins, from Tottenham, London, England, and is currently studying at the London School of Performing Arts and Technology.

According to the audition video, Adele is a genius, and at the audition she sang a song she wrote when she was 16 years old.

Although the acting skills can only be said to be barely passable, they impressed John Waters and Adam Shankman with their singing voices.

Ronan looked at the photos on the actor's profile, thought about it again, and determined that this was the former Adele.

Now Adele is not paid attention to, just a little transparent, who came from the UK to star in Hollywood movies, and it is also the advice of her parents.

After all, she was studying at the London School of Performing Arts and Technology.

In addition, Adele's classmate and friend Jessica Koenish also passed the audition of the crew and got a supporting role.

Ronan had read this girl's information and felt a little familiar, but he couldn't think of when he had seen it.

However, there are still a lot of singing and dancing rehearsals behind the project of "Hairspray", and filming will not start until June at the earliest, and it will be difficult to complete all the production this year, and the release will be postponed to 2007.

At the same time, the crew of "Hannah Montana" began filming, and Taylor Swift easily defeated all competitors in an absolutely fair and even favorable audition competition to become the heroine of this teen sitcom.

According to Ronan's latest developments, Taylor Swift also joined the music composition group of the show, fully involved in the songwriting of Hannah Montana in the play.

This girl has a knack for music creation.

Scott Swift mentioned to Ronan that Taylor Swift recently got a new boyfriend.

Ronan reckoned that songwriting wasn't a problem at all for Taylor.

There is really no inspiration, you can fall in love at any time, and love breakups are as common as eating and drinking for American teenagers.

Then again, it's also a shortcut to finding inspiration.

According to Ronan's plan, if "Hannah Montana" is well received, it will be able to call a concert for Taylor Swift when it airs for the last few seasons.

The former Miley Sellers became an idol of American teenagers with Hannah Montana before she made "camel toe".

At that time, Taylor Swift could also be said to have come from the youth idol type, but in order to have more achievements in music and gain a higher status and prestige, he resolutely chose to leave the village.

The former Taylor Swift, the team behind it, has really extraordinary marketing operation capabilities.

Whether it's a relationship, or a scolding battle with Sister Fruit, or a supermodel girlfriend group, it's simply a weapon to absorb points.

I have to say that the music industry is also changing with the development of the times and the social situation, and singing is not as good as marketing operations.

Like on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, some celebrities can be swiped out on the Internet.

Relativity Entertainment's film and television projects are progressing steadily, and Danny Boyle officially signed with Shahai Entertainment at the beginning of the year to serve as the director of "Slumdog Millionaire".

At present, he has flown to Mumbai, India, with the assistance of the Mountain Foundation, to find suitable actors and actresses.

On the second weekend of mid-March, Embassy Pictures released Relativity Entertainment's second film of the year, and the "Resident Evil" series, directed by Paul Anderson and starring Milla Jovovich, came to its third installment, and Alice faced an even tougher challenge.

This is arguably the most successful game adaptation of all time, and the only director of a game adaptation who can compete with Paul Anderson is Uwe Bauer in the world.

Brother Bao will also have a new film released today, "Life and Death Fight" has already been filmed and produced, just waiting for the release of the embassy films.

Brother Bao's daily life is still to find projects by playing games, even boxing to shock film critics, and from time to time to Blizzard to confess to his favorite......

This is definitely a person who has ideals, pursuits, and puts them into action.

As for whether he is a good director, it can only be judged by fans.

It is said that New York, Los Angeles, Berlin and other cities have established organizations such as the Uwe Bauer Fan Club, and the number of members is quite large, which is only better than second-tier stars.

In comparison, Paul Anderson's reputation among fans is even worse.

Due to the exaggeration of Relativistic Entertainment, Resident Evil's status in the company's projects has inevitably diminished significantly, and Ronan has given the series all to Paul Anderson and Milla Jovovich.

Paul Anderson is back on the same path as before, and Alice has finally become Superwoman.

However, Ronan did not express any opinion, as long as it can bring profit, everything else is false.

"Resident Evil 3" is a film with a very polarized audience, fans who like it think that the large-scale action scenes and zombie fighting scenes look particularly enjoyable, and those who don't like it think that the film has no merit in terms of plot except for fighting.

The film's performance in the commercial market remains impressive, with a whopping $31.22 million in its opening weekend in North America.

That was enough for Paul Anderson to get Ronan's green light to continue filming the fourth installment.
