Chapter 403 Predictions
If it is sold like "The Passion of the Christ", no matter how bad his reputation is, he can find people to support him, but if it is not profitable, no one will dare to stand up for him and offend the Jews.
In all fairness, "Apocalypse" is an R-rated film, and Mel Brown is a R-rated film. J Buson uses his masterful technique to gorgeously show the audience rookie actors, English subtitles and original violent aesthetics, the film restores the great Mayan civilization from all angles, the plot, action, perfect costumes, makeup and location of these hardware elements are organically combined, the most commendable is Lao Mei's housekeeping skills, the original and real aesthetics of violence, Lao Mei's technique can be compared with Fellini or David · Masters like Lynch are on par, but only new masters bring new excitement to the audience, and the film's epic scenes and exotic scenery are astounding.
If it weren't for the three major companies joining forces to encircle and suppress, his box office would never stop there, even if there was no gorgeous start of "The Passion of the Christ" at the level of 80 million, but it would not be a big problem to win 40 or 50 million, but several major companies did not hesitate to hurt people, which made it as strong as Bowei, and there was no way, they no longer dared to keep J Pusen, God knows if the Jews would take the opportunity to join forces and destroy Disney, they had to announce in a high-profile manner that they would never have any form of cooperation with J Pusen again.
"Blood Diamond" starring Xiao Li Zi released by Tai Zhou and Warner Company was very popular before its release, and it also caused panic in the jewelry industry, but in the end it only got 8 million US dollars, ranking sixth, it seems that political thrillers are not the darlings of the box office, and the comedy "Unaccompanied Children" under Warners only received 6.2 million US dollars at the box office.
This week, the total box office of Peking Chang fell by 25% compared with the same period last year, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is obviously inferior to last year's leading film "The Chronicles of Narnia", and "Dragon Knight" and "Charlotte's Web" hit the street is one of the main reasons, and the box office of "Blood Diamond" can also be called a failure, even if his goal is the Oscar, but compared to the investment of nearly 100 million, the road to return is so long and hopeless.
It's Christmas now, and it's also the lively time of the awards season, this year's MM has not only achieved great success at the box office, but also achieved quite a lot in terms of awards, and several films they have released have become Olympic favorites.
The most lively Oscar this year is the Best Visual Effects Award, with a total of seven films expected to compete for this award, including "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Coffin", "Iron Man", "Superman Returns" and other films, and it was revealed that the most promising winner is the acclaimed and popular summer film "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Coffin".
In fact, the strength of the films that have been shortlisted this year is very strong, in addition to the leading box office so far "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Coffin", "Iron Man", "Superman Returns", "X-Men 3: Last Stand" and other films, including the latest episode 007, which has won unanimous praise in the critics, "007: Casino Royale", and the two new films released in the winter file, "Iragon" and "Night at the Museum", are also on the list.
Looking at the entire list, the awkward situation is Wolfgang Peterson's "The Adventures of the Poseidon", although many scenes are quite spectacular, fans feel that after watching it, they only find it visually striking. On the contrary, "007: Casino Royale" won unanimous approval, and fans believed that the film subverted the image of the previous 007 and created a completely different James Bond. In addition, the upcoming "Eragon" and "Night at the Museum" are also very strong, and it can be said that they were shortlisted before they were fully released, indicating that the strength of the two films is not trivial.
It was revealed that the judges will watch 15-minute clips of each of the seven films on January 15 next year, and then vote for three of them to be nominated for the Oscars. The results will be announced on 23 January 2007 and the official awards ceremony will be held on 25 February 2007 at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.
Back then, "Titanic" and "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" swept the world, and they were also invincible in the academy, and special effects blockbusters were considered to be the best weapons, but now, they can only snatch some technical awards, which is really amazing.
"The Lord of the Rings 3" swept the Oscars that year and received extremely high ratings, but the opinions within the academy were polarized, which was considered to be a kneeling of commercial films, and since then the academy has changed its view of special effects blockbusters, and it is impossible to get involved in the best picture and best director.
As the Oscars approach, predictions about the list of Oscar nominees have become a hot topic.
Last year, the top five of Best Picture and Best Director were exactly the same for a long time, but in today's increasingly separated two departments, I am afraid it is just a flash in the pan, and usually, it is more common for four candidates to overlap between the two ultimate awards, so the judgment made by the evaluation agency on the basis of weighing the two departments, in short, this year's prediction is difficult to do.
At this stage, Martin Scorsese is the only one who can be called nine out of ten, the uncrowned king has appeared in the list of nominees of the Broadcast Film Critics Association, Golden Globe, and Directors Guild, and has successfully won the first two stops, and the final shortlisted seats are not a problem, under the publicity offensive of MM, "Infernal Affairs" has become a big hit, and it is no longer the cold situation before, and the old man is a lot more at ease.
But he has won six nominations for Best Director, all of them have returned home with a feather in the feather, and won the title of a tragic blameless king, speaking from the heart, Scorsese's "The Dirt Driver", "Raging Bull" and "Goodfellas" are rare masterpieces, the Oscar rejected them, this is a blind eye, but this "New York Gangs", "The Aviator" and now "Infernal Affairs" are far inferior to their predecessors, and being rejected is not an eye-sight, whether this Oscar poor student can break through is one of the biggest highlights of the Oscars.
Another person who was given the green light by the three major checkpoints of broadcasting, Golden Ball, and union was Steven Fryers, the "royal companion" of Her Majesty "The Queen", and the resume that was once nominated for "A Thousand Nets" finally came to be updated. Although all the votes for the film may go to the lead actor Mirren, "The Queen" has won far more praise than previous films such as "Angel Night Terror" and "Mrs. Henderson's Theater".
The director awards, which require a lot of qualifications for English-language filmmakers, have set a ridiculously low bar for friends, and this year there are also a couple of Latin brothers who are eager to upset: Guillermo DeToro and Alfonso Cuarón, whose "Labyrinth" received an almost unprecedented perfect review (98/100), which is a major event in the history of cinema, and the latter's "Children of Men" Successfully sublimating science fiction stories into humanistic fables, the control and rigorous completion of the old spicy are similar to academic papers.
However, a careful analysis of the foreign language giants who have been nominated for best director in the past shows that they are all world-famous "outsiders" who have not yet had extensive intimate contact with Hollywood; The latter was enough to be nominated, at a time when Hollywood was still ignorant of Almodóvar's style, and the mystery was an important reason for his vote, and by the time "The Return" was commonplace, the freshness was no longer as tempting as it was necessary to nominate him.
In this way, De Toro ("Hellboy", "Blade 2") and Cuarón ("Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban") who are "a shiny screw in the big Hollywood machine" missed the opportunity, not to mention that this year there is also Alejandro González Iñárritu, who is also in the Spanish category, although "Babel" is also his remaining trick (admittedly far inferior to the previous "21g"...... But after all, with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett at his side, Iñárritu largely suppressed the speed of the two Latin horses.
Compared with Iñárritu, who has always had mixed reputations and polarization, the virtuous couple "Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Farris" who concocted the beloved "Little Sunshine Beauty" are very flattering, but unfortunately, MTV's "Black Five Origins" are too deadly to be seen, and in 2005, director Mitchell Condley learned from the past ("Eternal Sunshine of a Beautiful Mind" failed to be shortlisted for Best Director of the Year)?
Equally subtle is the "writing and excellent directing" Bill Conton and "god-like existence" Clint Eastwood, although the former is not from a professional background, but the adaptation of "Chicago" and directing "Kinsey Professor of Sexology" The old achievements are obvious to all, and belong to a typical case of "many years of daughter-in-law becoming a mother-in-law", although the latter's "Iwo Jima Family Letter" was successfully nominated for Golden Globe and broadcast, but it was actually defeated in the directors' guild, it can be inferred that the problem of "splitting votes with "Flags of Fathers" is more serious than imagined- Considering the members' respect for the old man, at the last moment, they still decided to support the predecessors of "Dongmu".
Finally, Paul Greengrass, who made the audience and the media fall into a fog, the momentum of "Flight 93" is even better than that of "Infernal Affairs" in the outpost battle, not only piercing the tear ducts of the watchman, but also completely trampling the competitor "World Trade Center" with the 9/11 system, Greengrass has concocted the Golden Bear winner "Blood is Coming" outside the system, and has carved the entertainment masterpiece "Spy Shadow 2" inside the system , this kind of all-round husband who can bend and stretch often easily captures the hearts of the Oscar judges.
It's a pity that the low box office that is not proportional to the high evaluation of "Flight 93" fully exposes the fragile psychology of the Millican nation that has not been able to let go of the "9/11 scars", combined with Greengrass's British nationality, it is not difficult to infer that there is a disgust that "foreigners don't have back pain when they stand and talk", which is hidden in the hearts of local audiences - I am afraid that there are not a few members of the academy who have the same attitude. Fryers is on top, his Oscar luck is really bad, why don't you wash up and sleep early this year......?
