"Juno", which was released in December, is a feature film in itself.

Disney didn't have much expectation for it, but because it was a movie made by the boss himself, they still tried their best to get more than 1,600 screens out.

What I didn't expect was that "Juno" received a good reputation from the moment it was released.

Especially among young people, there has been a craze for watching movies.

They all thought this girl named Juno was so cool.

not only dared to get pregnant at this age, but also gave birth bravely, which is different from those ordinary girls.

And then Juno is also too beautiful, which is completely in line with the aesthetics of most men, especially young people.

Just through this movie, they became obsessed with this little girl from France named Sophie Marceau.

When they knew that Sophie Marceau was indeed only 16 years old this year, their admiration and love for Sophie Marceau was even greater.

In the eyes of professional film critics and journalists, "Juno" is also a good movie.

Not only is the subject matter of the shoot bold, but also the shooting angle is completely different, showing the feeling of a girl who is unexpectedly pregnant, but bravely takes responsibility.

Westerners are self-revering and especially fond of the sublimation of personality.

Putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot is the most suitable value for Westerners.

Juno's courage to face all difficulties is a good fit for positive publicity.

Disney has also bought a lot of film critics' articles, and under such a period of publicity, word-of-mouth continues to ferment.

In the second week of release, many parents brought their 15-18-year-old children to watch the movie together, hoping that they would learn something from the movie.

This is not to encourage girls to doubt, but to show them how much they will suffer if they do not take good precautions and they do not have enough courage.

As a result, after "Juno" won the box office of 25 million in the first week, it actually rose a lot in the second week, breaking through the box office of 30 million US dollars, and the decline in the third week was not large, with a box office of 21 million.

In this way, when "Juno" was released, it exceeded $100 million at the box office, and there was no problem at all.

As the popularity of "Juno" gradually waned, "Ghostbusters" of United Arts Films was the first to be released in North America.

The Christmas and New Year schedule is itself in line with films like "Ghostbusters", which is in line with the temperament of winter.

In the first three days of the weekend, it achieved a high opening result of 50 million US dollars, and the audience liked it very much.

Everyone thinks this movie is really cool.

The fact that those gods and monsters haunt can be shown in the movie has to make people marvel at the development of special effects technology.

The digital company responsible for the special effects of the film has once again proved itself to be a leader in the industry.

Of course, this is also related to Yin Jun's unremitting investment.

When Yin Jun acquired the digital space two years ago, he promised to invest more than $10 million a year, but in fact Yin Jun invested more than that.

In addition, the special effects of Disney and United Arts Films are all done in the digital field, so with a lot of practical experience and a large amount of financial support, the development momentum of the digital field is very rapid.

In January '81, they had only 75 people.

But now, in January '83, the total number of employees in the digital field has reached 280.

This number is more than that of industrial light and magic, in addition to being inferior to industrial light and magic in the field of computers, the special effects in terms of models and other aspects have long been the first in the world.

Now Yin Jun has given them two most important tasks.

The first is to make dinosaur-related models, and all kinds of dinosaurs and various sizes will be produced in preparation for Yin Jun's upcoming "Jurassic Park" in a few years.

Yes.

Even after Spielberg's repeated pursuits, Yin Jun still decided to shoot "Jurassic Park" by himself, not only because of copyright issues, but also because of this opportunity to go down in film history, and the teenager also wants to have it himself.

And making such a blockbuster is also one of the director's lifelong pursuits.

Yin Jun hopes that with "Jurassic Park", his directing ability will be greatly improved.

Although it is destined to be very hard, how can a director succeed without such tempering?

Just like the card god, if he hadn't experienced the crazy shooting experience of "Titanic", how could he become a card god?

If it weren't for the grinding of "Titanic" as a foreshadowing, how could he make "Avatar"?

In the previous life, Spielberg's version of "Jurassic Park", in terms of plot and structure, there is no problem at all, thrilling, very sharp editing, which makes people addicted to watch.

But if you look at it with the eyes of 2020, the special effects of "Jurassic Park" are a bit unsatisfactory.

On the one hand, it is the backwardness of computer special effects technology, and on the other hand, it is the immaturity of its own digital field.

Now that Yin Jun has given the digital field a year or two, the digital field is much stronger than in the previous life, so the special effects technology, at least in the model, must have made a breakthrough.

If it weren't for the immaturity of the current 3D technology, Yin Jun would think that shooting a 3D version of "Jurassic Park" would be a dazzling one.

Speaking of which, it's not that 3D technology is not mature enough, 3D technology is more mature than IMAX technology, but the use of 3D is not so extensive, in commercial application, 3D technology that has experienced many failures is now difficult to find its allies, and it is even more miserable than IMAX.

In the past six months or so, with the fame of "The Terminator" and the blessing of the super cartoon "The Lion King", there have been many theater companies in contact with IMAX companies.

It's just that the cost of IMAX is too high, and there are too few movies made with IMAX, so it will cause a lot of waste, so the negotiations have been deadlocked.

The good news is not nothing, Spielberg and George Lucas have taken a fancy to IMAX technology and feel that it will be a great breakthrough to apply it to their new movies, so they are actively understanding this technology and are ready to use it at any time.

Yin Jun did not panic, he told IMAX that as long as he developed calmly, further improved the technical quality of IMAX, and further reduced the price of IMAX, then naturally IMAX technology would become the most popular shooting method in cinemas.

The second project developed by Juvenile Jean in the digital field is the liquid robot model of "Terminator 2" and, more importantly, computer technology.

This one was watched by Cameron himself.

As a technomaniac who hasn't yet shown his essence, even if he is staring at his new movie, he will go to the digital realm every few days to see the progress of the new technology he demands.

But digital engineers don't hate Cameron.

Because many of them were originally Cameron's colleagues in ILM, but Cameron went to make a movie, and they were poached.

Cameron himself is an insider, and there will never be a layman directing an insider, and they can discuss new technologies with each other and discuss how to use them in practice.

With Cameron here, Yin Jun doesn't have to stare at this matter.

Even Yin Jun is wondering whether to bring Cameron in by the way when developing 3D technology in the future, give him a little share, and let him lead the advancement of 3D.

The 3D technology in the previous life was so widely used, thanks to Cameron's "Avatar".

And what opened the way for Cameron's "Avatar" was the 3D technology led by Karum.

In order to promote 3D technology, Cameron ran roadshows for more than a year, and it was convenient to promote the benefits of 3D technology in each place.

It is not easy for a world-class director to do this.

……

The success of the movie box office is only one aspect of the success of the Kirin Group in North America today.

Another aspect is reflected in the pursuit of awards, and the Kirin Group has also achieved a bumper harvest.

The Lion King was nominated for Best Original Music and Best Score.

"The Terminator" was nominated for four categories: Best Visual Effects, Best Original Screenplay, Best Film Editing, and Best Cinematography.

"Mother and Daughter Love" won the Best Picture Award, Best Actress Award, Best Supporting Actor Award, Best Art Design Award and Best Original Screenplay Award, as well as four nominations.

"Juno", which was only released in December, was also nominated for the Best Original Screenplay Award, the Best Actress Award, and the Best Costume Design Award.

The most awarded is the long-awaited "The Shawshank Redemption".

It has eight nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Score, Best Makeup, and eight nominations.

And among the four most important awards, in addition to the fact that there is no actress in the film at all, it has been nominated for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.

This is the greatest affirmation of a movie.

Hollywood is particularly optimistic about "The Shawshank Redemption".

If it weren't for the fact that the director of this movie is Yin Jun, and the starring role is a little-known Xiangjiang person, I am afraid they would have used "The Shawshank Redemption" to evaluate "The Shawshank Redemption" a long time ago.

Carefully calculated, it is a miracle that the five films of the Kirin Group last year actually received a total of 21 nominations.

There are so many Hollywood companies, and the Oscars generally favor films from small independent production companies.

But now, your Kirin Group family occupies so much, can you say anything more than everyone lamenting that the strength of the Kirin Group is too amazing?

The other six giants of Hollywood, seeing this scene, are also sour.

The films of the Kirin Group can both make money and win awards, and from now on, it will be really difficult to stop their development!
