Text Chapter 976 Continued Ferociousness, Oscar Nomination
The big ship "Titanic" is not only murderous at the box office, but also does not give in to the harvest of awards, continuing his murderous journey.
In order to continue to push up the box office, and to make follow-up videos and derivatives earn more benefits, even for "Titanic", the award is a buff bonus that can never be bypassed. What's more, who doesn't like to win an award, besides, the Oscar is an eternal dream in the hearts of all filmmakers.
Even the "truck driver" James Cameron, who dares to call himself the "king of the world", dreams of being recognized by the Oscars, after all, as long as he is making movies, who does not have a dream in his heart? No matter how high the box office is, it can't make up for the psychological satisfaction brought by the awards.
Therefore, no matter what, MGM has to do a good job of public relations for "Titanic", so this time, the Weinstein brothers, the "kings of Hollywood PR", are personally responsible for this matter. It can be seen that MGM has indeed made a lot of determination in this matter, and must come up with a "Titanic" that shocks Hollywood and film history.
Don't blow it up, don't blow it up, in the matter of award public relations, especially in Oscar public relations, if the Weinstein brothers dare to admit the second, absolutely no one dares to call the first. After all, judging from the fact that the "Queen of Water" Gwyneth can be promoted to the Oscar-winning position, how awesome are the methods of these brothers?
Since MGM acquired Mira Max, in the past few years, under the "training" of the Weinstein brothers, the films produced by MGM Group have been in the limelight at the Oscars and won many important awards. Not to mention, in the Golden Globe Awards and the three major European film festivals, as well as some other film festivals and film awards, MGM's films have also won many awards.
Therefore, this time, the Weinstein brothers personally handled the matter, which shows that MGM will not give up if he does not win a few awards for "Titanic" this time.
However, I have to say that the Weinstein brothers are indeed awesome, and they are really talented in award public relations - when "Titanic" continued to rampage in movie theaters, this big ship had already begun its own murderous journey in awards.
First of all, there is the Golden Globe Awards, which is also a test of the big ship "Titanic" before the Oscars.
Fortunately, the final result is quite gratifying - "Titanic" did not gain much at the Golden Globe Awards!
Uh, isn't it confusing?
Hehe, in fact, this is the case, usually the hit movies that kill all sides at the Golden Globe Awards will generally end up with "empty hands and a blank slate" at the Oscars.
In this way, the Golden Globe Award will naturally not be the focus of the Weinstein brothers' public relations, as long as anyone with a little IQ knows that if you choose between the Oscars and the Golden Globes, you must choose the Oscars.
Therefore, the voyage of "Titanic" at the Golden Globe Awards was not as dazzling as they were at the box office, but it was still ferocious enough, because the big ship won a total of four awards, including Best Director, Best Film Score, Best Original Song and Best Picture in the Drama category.
Of course, these are just warm-ups, and the real big head is still in the upcoming Oscars!
Soon, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the list of nominees for the 70th Oscars, and as soon as this list came out, it instantly detonated the entire Hollywood!
No way, it's amazing!
The big ship "Titanic" is so cruel that countless people can't believe that this is true!
In this list of nominations, the big ship "Titanic" actually won a total of 15 nominations, yes, 15, almost all the awards he could be shortlisted for. Of course, there are also niche awards such as Best Animation, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Short Film, and Best Documentary in the Oscars, which have nothing to do with "Titanic", and almost all the other remaining awards have "Titanic".
I have to say one thing here, that is, it turned out that "Titanic" won 14 nominations in its previous life, and there was no nomination for Best Actor in "Little Plum". Although, in the previous life, the Oscars also invited "Little Plum" to attend the awards ceremony, but at that time, "Little Plum" was afraid that he would steal the limelight from other people, so he refused.
However, this time it was different, under the public relations of the Weinstein brothers, "Little Plum" also won the nomination for Best Actor. Of course, everyone knows that "Little Plum" this Oscar trip is completely soy sauce, and the probability of winning the award is not even 1%, and even the nomination is not easy to get, what kind of bicycle do you need.
After all, who doesn't know that the academy doesn't like high-value actors like "Little Plum", what they want is acting skills, acting skills, even if they have acting skills, if they are too handsome, they can't do it. Otherwise, in order to pursue the Oscar, the "Little Plum" in the previous life would not constantly "practice" himself and try all kinds of ugly and bad roles. Although he tried again and again, he failed again and again, in the final analysis, the handsome role of "Jack" is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that the old diehards of the academy still feel that his acting skills are not as good-looking. Fortunately, in the end, the sky paid off, and "Little Plum" finally succeeded in realizing his dream of being an Oscar, which can be regarded as a wish fulfillment.
With 15 nominations, the big ship "Titanic" did set a record, and, because of this news, the box office of "Titanic" on the day had a small "blowout" and rose again.
In the face of the continued ferocity of "Titanic", the other giants of Hollywood really can't sit still, if this big ship is allowed to "smash" Oscar again, then they really can't play. So, no matter what, this time, these Hollywood giants decided that they must restrain this damn big ship and let him be as silent as his prototype Titanic.
However, now that MGM has put "Titanic" on the altar and decided to make history, and the big boss Su Chenyu has authorized Shirley Lansing to mobilize all the resources of MGM Group.
Naturally, then, it is impossible to let this big ship sink, and no matter what, he must continue to sail ferociously......
