After the Lifetime Achievement Award, this year's Oscars have really entered the final stage, and the remaining awards are either actor and actress awards, or the ultimate announcement of the best director and best picture.

When Russell Crowe opened the envelope and read out the name "Halle Berry", not only everyone at the scene, but even herself was a little panicked, even more so than Gwyneth had been a few years ago.

Whether it is in the previous awards season or in the public relations battle, the popular candidate for this actress has always been between Amy Adams and Nicole Kidman, and Halle Berry's voice in the actress is not even as good as Denzel Washington's actor.

So when the results were announced, the sober-minded people understood that "this year is going to play the 'united front'." Harvey Weinstein gritted his teeth and grinned.

Since the impact of 911 is still ongoing, the best, or most appropriate, response of the College in the face of disasters and tribulations is not to use unity and unity to face conflict and division.

After the exciting Halle Berry won the award, in fact, everyone's speculation about the actor has been dissipated, whether it is Russell Crowe, who is a continuous finalist, or Jeremy Renner, who is a debut, a nomination is enough to show the importance of them.

At this time, Denzel Washington is even more of Will Smith's A-list star!

And compared with Will Smith, who has always been more commercial, Denzel Washington's achievements in art films are also more widely recognized, not to mention, this time "Training Day" is indeed an excellent work.

The story of an unconventional villain as the protagonist is particularly fascinating, and it also collides with more unexpected sparks.

If Halle Berry's win was full of surprise shock, then Denzel Washington is a real no-brainer.

After the awards of the actor and actress with a little black humor, although there are still a little expectations in my heart, the last two awards - Best Director and Best Picture - also fell to "Beautiful Mind" without suspense!

Although everyone has already been mentally prepared for such an ending, looking at the ecstatic winners in the center of the stage, the partners of "Begin Again" still seem a little excited.

But in any case, after that, this year's Oscars also set a new record for a film produced by DreamWorks, winning the Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director for the third consecutive year.

This not only suppressed Weinstein's "arrogance", but also became a perfect demonstration of the strength of DreamWorks and Spielberg behind it.

Even many professional media exclaimed, "Amazing Dream Factory!"

For a time, the momentum of independent studios outside the seven major studios was booming.

For example, "The Lord of the Rings" produced by semi-independent and new line pictures other than Warner, DreamWorks, which was reborn from fire, and, of course, the Fire Lion Group, which is rising rapidly but does not look like an independent studio at all, have all become Hollywood's "lonely" forces.

In the 90s, after a large number of small and medium-sized studios such as Carlock Films have closed down one after another, Hollywood has once again blown the wind of wildfire.

In the face of the menacing "enemy", even the seven major groups seem to be unable to help but pay attention to it.

"It's weird!"

Sid absentmindedly ate the chocolate bar in his hand, and then threw it into the trash can not far away with an accurate arc.

"Boss, what do you mean...... DreamWorks' three consecutive Oscar titles don't make sense?" asked Sean, the manager of the distribution department of Fire Lion Pictures, in disbelief.

"Isn't that obvious?" Sid shrugged, and then looked around at everyone around him, all but CEO Jon Philheimer was thoughtful.

Sid had no choice but to put up his finger and said: "Actually, it's very simple, no matter how much momentum DreamWorks and Harvey Weinstein make in the awards season and the Oscars, it is impossible to shake the seven groups." ”

"Hollywood is a business world after all, just like all commercial enterprises, the quality of a company still depends on its management level to set the tone, we will not use awards to judge Jack Welch's achievements. ”

"In the past, MGM won the most Oscars of the eight, but now I am ashamed to say that they are lions like us. Sid made no secret of his contempt for MGM's declining giants.

"Then we won't pursue awards in the future?" Henry, the manager of the production department, still couldn't help asking, as a manager with a production background, his pursuit of film art has always existed.

"Of course not. Sid shrugged, "After all, film is an industry that combines art and commerce, and if you pursue one aspect too much, you will inevitably lose sight of one or the other, so it is the right way to prioritize and develop in a balanced way." ”

"Business must be the master, but art should also be both, just like Barry Diller did back then, only companies with a solid corporate foundation can go far in the Hollywood game. ”

Sid's words were simple, but they couldn't help but make everyone nod their heads, and at this moment, "Uh-oh-" The staff of the conference knocked on the door, "Ladies and gentlemen of the Fire Lion Group, the venue has been arranged." ”

"Okay, thanks. Sid nodded, and everyone stood up.

Today is the third day after the Oscars, and the annual Shoest show is held in Las Vegas on time, and as the world's largest professional business event in the film and television industry, Fire Lion has participated in the show for the third year.

Today's Fire Lion is no longer the small manufacturer it was when it first participated - from movies to television, from blockbuster films to popular American dramas, to reality shows all over the United States, the Fire Lion Group, which has the best quality programs in North America and even in the world, has faintly become the most unique North American media group under the Seven.

Say they're an independent studio, right?

Fire Lion has unswervingly embarked on the road of integrated development from a very early stage, and has never been able to support itself in a corner of movies like DreamWorks, whether it is TV or music business is in full swing, plus Sid "foresightedly" bought Apple.

Now it is marching from the MP3 Walkman market curve, the impact of the entire record industry is crumbling, and even has the energy to influence the global record industry for a while.

Therefore, the Shoest exhibition has also paid more and more attention to the participation of the Fire Lion Group, and this year not only can arrange an exhibition venue that is not inferior to the seven major groups, but also special lounges, meeting rooms and other conditions are also made in accordance with the treatment of the seven groups.
