Chapter 726 726 Strike leader
The most commendable thing about a good movie is to provide the audience with an eye to look at life and the world. A truly powerful tragedy is never a major accident that happens to a character, but something that happens every day but is invisible. From this point of view, the understanding of suffering constructed in "Slumdog Millionaire" is more timeless: "Rich Poor" touches on all aspects of Indian social life, including India's extreme wealth disparity, filthy and terrible slums; There are contradictions in religious beliefs, massacres, and naked class discrimination; There are "villains" with human faces and beast hearts, and there are also "good people" who seem to be tyrannical......
When the **** of the expansion of the country in the third world fell apart one by one by the persistent persistence of the Indian young Gemma, Danny Boyle's brilliant and unrestrained director of the world world had a deeper answer to the fate and memory of the individual~~!!
There is no doubt that I think this movie is the best movie of the year~! ”
And Gerry Lopez, president of AMC Cinemas, which has 521 theaters and 6,576 screens. is more optimistic about Warner and Paramount's joint production of "Rejuvenation":
It's hard for you to imagine that this movie is adapted from the famous American novelist Fitzgerald's 1922 short story of the same name, David Fincher realized many people's dream of "rejuvenation" through cinematic techniques - Benjamin was born an "old baby" with visceral muscle development equivalent to 80 years old, but this freak lived younger and younger, and finally died as a baby.
The movie uses the realm of whimsy to construct a dream of "rejuvenation", but it can't stand the reasoning of real life: when Benjamin and the love of his life are missed out due to the inability to keep pace with his age, he almost becomes the most unfortunate person in this world.
This kind of story mode and the magical meaning that pervades the film make viewers who like Western novels fall in love with it. They'll find a similar feeling in many classic movies, such as "Forrest Gump," "The Shawshank Redemption," "The Pianist at Sea," and "Titanic," and in this real situation, explore a topic that many people dare not really face: 'If fate is cruel to you, how do you deal with it?' Can you also enjoy the affection, love and friendship that everyone has? ’
I wouldn't be surprised if the film won the Best Critic, Director, Actor, and Actress awards. ”
Howard Miller, president of Cinemark, who ranks third in North American theaters with 4,889 screens in 424 theaters, believes that "No Country for Old Men", produced by Paramount with a comprehensive score of 95.8 points, will sweep this year's Oscars~~:
"The transcendence of "No Country for Old Men" lies in its meticulous grasp of a restrained tension, which is the masterwork of the Coen brothers. Ordinary directors usually tell a story heartily, and they can't wait to hang out all the details and hints so that you can see it clearly, so that you can turn it over at once! But "No Country for Old Men" does not, on the contrary, it is very restrained and forbearing, just point to the end, and say more. In fact, anyone can 'release', and 'receiving' is the great realm.
Even more brilliant is the actors in this movie, I just saw how good Josh Brolin is in "American Gangsters", and he quickly proved that he can do better, and it is almost his most brilliant acting chapter to date~~
And Josh Brolin's chemistry and benign interaction made Tommy Lee Jones's performance surpass his performance in "Dilemma" with a solo scene~~ In addition, Kelly McDonner, who is a little red in the ten thousand leaves, grasps the ingenuity of proportion, which is really impressive,
The last president of Cinemark Cinema Line directly stated:
"We can now count the best screenplays, director, actor, supporting actor, supporting actress, adapted screenplay, cinematography, editing, art direction, best adapted screenplay...... These ten little golden figures may all belong to the Coen brothers~~"
After reading these three film reviews of the presidents of cinema giants, whether it is Tom Cruise Wagner or Wu Wei and Xu Zhen, they are all a little discouraged, it seems that in addition to the technical awards that can be followed, in the main awards based on subjective comments, they have little hope of winning, after all, in terms of "lobbying strength" in the circle, although Black Pearl Company has façade figures like Tom Cruise and George Clooney, the thickness is very insufficient.
You must know that the six major companies have been operating in the circle for decades, and the relationships between the actors, directors, and people behind the scenes are all intertwined......
Now the confrontation between the two major alliances composed of the six major Hollywood alliances and the Black Pearl Company alliance has been formed, that is, the two sides have chosen sides, and no matter how strong the momentum of the Black Pearl Alliance is, it is impossible to get more support than the Big Six.
"It seems that we can only win a few small prizes for skills......" Wagner also sighed rarely, and there was nothing he could do.
Everyone listened to it and was gloomy, although they had already seen the mountains at the box office, but at the Oscars, when they met opponents with equal strength in the film, the shortcomings of their company's own lack of soft power were exposed.
"I think we still have a chance." Only Tom Cruise remained optimistic, raising his voice and exclaiming:
"Isn't the Writers' Guild already on strike? I see that the major trade unions are now dissatisfied with the management, as far as I know, the actors, directors and unions are also very dissatisfied with the current contract, as long as we firmly stand on the side of the strike, once the strike of the screenwriters' union is successful, the remaining two major unions will follow suit, and our opportunity will come~! ”
In Hollywood, although actors, directors, and screenwriters look glamorous on the surface, the overall 2:8 principle is typical, 20 percent of people earn 80 percent of the money, and most people live in difficulty, for example, the average annual income of members of the Writers Guild of America is about $60,000, but the vast majority of members earn less than $40,000, which means that such income conditions are still below the average income of American citizens.
Therefore, screenwriters are calling for an increase in their salaries, shares, and especially in terms of profits from new media, the most obvious manifestation of which is the DVD dividend percentage. As we all know, the DVD market in the United States is quite huge, in fact, it is the main source of interests of Hollywood's six major manufacturers.
The Writers Guild has negotiated several times over the years but has failed. The studios stood their ground, one might even say they took a hard line, and eventually a massive strike broke out on November 5, 2007.
The GOIN union hopes to increase the annual revenue from new media by 3 to 5 percent compared to before, and from now on, a certain percentage of previous productions will also be drawn from the Internet. Screenwriters, on the other hand, receive a flat subsidy capped at $1,200 for the first two years, and then take a share of the distributor's total profits each year.
The same situation also happened in the actors' and directors' unions, but now the two unions are waiting to see if the strike of the screenwriters' union can be successful, after all, once a strike occurs, both sides will suffer huge losses, those directors who can make money, even if the actors are willing to support the strike, but if they know that the strike will not achieve the goal, they will not be stupid to resist the Hollywood League, and they will not make money.
But once the screenwriters' union strikes successfully, then it will be fun, and the remaining two major unions will follow suit, and a new pattern will emerge in the entire distribution of interests in Hollywood~~
This is also the reason why the screenwriters' union has been on strike for 3 months now, and the Hollywood major league is estimated to lose more than 3 billion in the third quarter of this year, and they have to bear the reason why they can't do it, because they know that once they compromise with the screenwriters' union, things will be more complicated, and now, the two sides will see who grits their teeth and carries it first.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Cruise, I want to tell you bad news." Lei Ting looked at Tom Cruise with a "you are very naïve" expression: "I have found out the news, there has been a serious split within the screenwriters union, they can no longer support the strike, and they are ready to agree to the proposal put forward by the Sixth National Congress to increase the 3% share to 3.5%." ”
"What......" Tom Cruise was stunned, and immediately understood that the writers' union had insisted on a three-month strike, and the continuous lack of income had shaken the inside, and their inner belief in the pursuit of fairness began to collapse......
After all, there are some screenwriters who still have a high income, and once these people quit and continue to work, this strike will have no meaning......
This is the biggest problem facing any strike - the "inability to unite"...... Alas, it seems that this time it is really a bad fate, and when it comes to this movie year, Black Pearl can only admit that it is unlucky.
"Alas, the writers' union is just too scattered, there is no strong person to unite them, and if there is a top screenwriter with box office appeal to unite them all, there may be hope for this strike." Wagner, who was well versed in the principle of strike, sighed deeply.
"Who...... Who says no? Isn't there an H~~" Xu Zhen, who had been silent, suddenly interjected with a red face: "His ...... The Screenwriters Republic has not been the largest group of screenwriters unions in recent years...... Organized? He...... Isn't it known as the godfather of the screenwriting industry......? ”
"Are you stupid, Xu stammered......" Wu Wei looked at him with no curiosity and patted him on the shoulder: "Although this H is recognized as the No.1 screenwriter in the world, but Shenlong has never seen the beginning and the end, no one has ever seen him appear, how many media want to interview him, how many producers want to sign him, but they have never found him, many people suspect that he is just a few famous screenwriters plus a fictitious network codename...... You're counting on a virtual character to come out and preside over the big picture...... Isn't that hilarious? ”
"No...... It's not funny at all. Hearing this, Lei Ting was immediately stunned, opened her mouth slightly rarely, turned her head to look at Li Xiaole, who had been calm, and said:
“H…… It has always been our people. ”
