Generally speaking, the broadcast of movies in the United States is relatively distinct.

For example, blockbuster movies and popcorn movies are usually the first basic plate during the summer vacation.

The films of the awards season will be shown around September and December, and the preparations will be longer, which is around February and April.

The awards season films and literary films of the Kirin Group in the past two years are usually in the period from September to December.

This year is no exception.

The first to be released in mid-September was "Untouchable" starring Eddie Murphy and Zeng Qi.

This movie, which is about a maid taking care of a paralyzed rich man, and gaining friendship and touching, relies on the strong distribution and publicity capabilities of Disney and United Arts Films, and the box office is not bad.

They earned $15 million in the first weekend and another $10 million in the second week.

Literary films are broadcast for a long time, and according to this posture, when they are released, they may be able to hit the total box office of 80 million US dollars.

The plot of the entire "Untouchable" is not complicated, and there are no special effects, and Eddie Murphy has reduced the price to $500,000 to star, so the cost is almost $6 million, and the cost of publicity is only $15 million.

If it is a box office of 80 million US dollars, "Untouchable" will definitely make a lot of money.

The key is that the reputation of "Untouchable" is still very good, and it exploded as soon as it came up, and it was highly praised by film critics, and was hailed as a rare good movie this year.

I don't know if the film critics collected money, but the black brothers, as well as the housewives who were idle and had nothing to do, were influenced by the film critics, and after they walked into the movie theater, they didn't curse.

Most people think that "Untouchable" is very good, there is no kind of crude cliché, and the bits and pieces of the two get along with each other are like daily life, but they are full of ordinary touches.

This kind of emotion does not rely on sensationalism, but is naturally expressed, very easy to understand, and it is not difficult for people to watch it.

For the average audience, such a movie is a good movie.

Since the reputation is so good, it is easy to make a profit of one or two hundred million yuan for video tape rental in the future.

Coupled with the sale of overseas copyrights in Shanghai, "Untouchable" has gained more than four times the investment, which is not a problem at all.

But everyone knows that "Untouchable" certainly doesn't mean thinking about commercial success.

From the very beginning, it was for the Oscars.

Because whether it is the idea, the plot, or the actors...... Even the filming technique is Oscar's dish.

Although director Barry Levinson is only a newcomer and has only directed low-budget films like "The Little Bistro" before, he has a very deep skill behind the scenes, and has been nominated for two Oscars for Best Screenplay.

One of them was at this year's Oscars, but he lost to Yin Jun's "Mother-Daughter Love".

But Barry Levinson's directing skills are very good, and a movie is made full of warmth, which makes him gain a lot of attention.

The group of old men in the film school, some people also said in private that Barry Levinson contributed to the filming of "Mother and Daughter Love" so well, and looked forward to making better movies in the future.

Of course, the most praised is Yin Jun.

The American people, who have become accustomed to his genius, still can't help but admire Yin Jun's screenwriting skills.

This kind of movie, which conveys the values that Americans like very well, should not have been written by a Chinese person like Yin Jun in Xiangjiang.

He should be a very wise middle-aged man who has experienced a lot of things, has a lot of life experience, and even has the feeling of being disabled and cared for.

It's rare to be so meticulous.

However, the discussion about "Untouchable" was quickly suppressed by another movie.

It is Yin Jun's own "Rain Man".

Americans make movies as a kind of business, so movies are also called the film industry.

Industry represents not only the filming process, nor only the special effects technology it has, but also its very complete publicity and distribution process from start to finish.

For example, Yin Jun's "Rain Man".

From the month after the end of this year's Oscars, that is, around April, the propaganda machine was set in motion.

On the one hand, he is chasing the popularity of the Oscars around Yin Jun's regretful defeat at the Oscars, and on the other hand, he is saying that Yin Jun wants to make an equally excellent movie and hit the Oscars again.

If it weren't for the fact that he was still thinking about the Oscars, maybe this publicity would have to play another wave of pathos cards, scolding the Oscars for being corrupt and mediocre, and actually didn't let "The Shawshank Redemption" win Best Actor and Best Director.

From April to the present, about how Yin Jun was cast, what characteristics the actors have, and the tidbits on the set will appear in newspapers and TV entertainment news from time to time.

Because "Rain Man" was named "Yin Jun's classic work that hit the Oscars", its popularity has not continued.

Since its promotion in April, "Rain Man" has been listed by many as one of the movies they want to see this year.

So in early October, half a month after the release of "Untouchable", "Rain Man" was grandly released in more than 1,800 movie theaters across the United States, and the first show was all full.

What I want to say here is that Americans don't just watch commercial blockbusters, they have full enthusiasm for watching dramas.

For example, the highest annual box office of "Forrest Gump" in history came about like this.

"Rain Man" in the previous life happened to be the same, it was the box office champion in North America in 1988, and it won $180 million at the North American box office in one go.

The 1986 box office champion with a box office similar to it, but a blockbuster like "Top Gun"!

Therefore, in the United States, a mature film country, as long as the film is done well, no one will watch it.

Compared with Tom Cruise, who has matured in 87, Johnny Depp is still very immature.

But the role of the younger brother has a lot of naïve places, Johnny Depp's appearance is passable, and Yin Jun has sharpened his acting skills for half a year in advance, so even if he was crushed by Tom Hanks, he also performed his own characteristics strongly.

Tom Hanks naturally needless to say, the autistic brother of "Rain Man" was played vividly by him.

Everyone looked at him as if he was looking at a real autistic person, and he didn't make any drama at all.

And how to perform an elder brother's deep love for his younger brother through an autistic person, and a touch of softness in his heart, of course, is not something that ordinary people can do.

Such a role depends on the performance of actors.

If you play it well, it's a classic.

If you don't play well, it's to ruin a movie.

Tom Hanks naturally played well, and it was excellent, so everyone was very moved to watch it, and the frequency of frequent tears was more than in "Untouchable".

The box office results show how much the audience likes it.

It won 28 million at the box office in the first weekend, and rose in the second week, reaching 31 million!

In just two weeks, "Rain Man" announced that it had returned to its original cost and entered the stage of profitability.

"Rain Man", which has both word-of-mouth and box office, has also created a problem.

That's next year's Oscar competition.

Originally, "Untouchable" came out, and everyone thought that Eddie Murphy was nominated for the best actor, and it was not hopeless to compete seriously - with the support of black groups, the strong public relations ability of the Kirin Group, and the gimmick of black actors, Eddie Murphy became a good actor.

But immediately Yin Jun's own "Rain Man" appeared, and everyone found out that Tom Hanks, who was so young and handsome, was not inferior to Eddie Murphy in the role, but even better and more comfortable than Eddie Murphy in terms of details.

Eddie Murphy's performance in "Untouchable" can also see some traces of transformation from comedy.

But Tom Hanks is different, he is at the peak as soon as he appears, this young actor who only played some supporting roles before, officially played the leading role for the first time, and he is the protagonist of Yin Jun's movie, he is not timid, his eye movements and those details are very good, and it is worth watching again little by little.

In terms of marketing, pictures and records of Tom Hanks in a psychiatric hospital for several months in contact with patients with self-illness, eating and sleeping together.

This immediately changed Tom Hanks from a "genius" actor to an "experiential" actor.

This kind of actor who does not hesitate to schizophrenia for the sake of the role is even more respectable.

They really gave all their energy and energy for acting.

So everyone also understands why Tom Hanks behaves so expressively, exactly the same as a real autistic person.

Eddie Murphy has also experienced the life of volunteers, but this kind of learning outside of the matter is still a little worse than Tom Hanks going directly into it.

What's more, from the beginning, everyone knew that Yin Jun's "Rain Man" was an ambitious work that launched an impact on the Oscars.

In this general situation, it is impossible for Yin Jun not to push Tom Hanks to compete for the Oscar for Best Actor.

So here's the problem.

is also a candidate for two Best Actors, which may be from the Kirin Group.

Who will Kirin Group push?

You can't push both, right?

This is a waste of resources.

After all, in the decades-long history of the Oscars, there have only been three double yolks, one actor, one actress, and one best sound award.

The reason why there is a double yolk egg for the actor in the fifth Oscar is also because the Oscars have a rule that if the difference in the number of votes between the two is less than 3 votes, they will tie and win the award together.

The film school that can decide the Oscars has a total of more than 7,000 members, and the probability of two candidates differing by only 3 votes is too small.

So double yolk eggs are almost impossible.

If the Kirin Group goes to win both, will it waste firepower, will it make the judges bored, and thus cheapen the other two?

It's hard to say the answer.

From the perspective of the two actors, Tom Hanks of "Rain Man" must be appreciated by Yin Jun, otherwise he would not have been asked to make this Oscar-level movie.

But the relationship between Eddie Murphy and Yin Jun is better.

Because Eddie Murphy was simply picked up by Yin Jun, his acting career was done under Yin Jun's promotion, and it is said that he has Yin Jun's personal phone number and can be contacted at any time.

Both have their own strengths and weaknesses, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses.

In the end, how to go to public relations and how to choose, from the outside world, is really a problem.

It depends on Yin Jun's final decision.

But in any case, almost all the media and film critics feel that this time the Oscar for Best Actor, Kirin Group still has a great advantage.

To put it more bluntly, both Eddie Murphy and Tom Hanks are natives of the United States.

Compared with Zhou Yanfa from Xiangjiang, their natural favorability in the eyes of the judges can be increased by a few percentage points, and the chances of winning the Oscar are naturally greater!
