Chapter 220: The Lost Golden Man

Chapter 220: The Lost Golden Man

"Can you lose this?" Seeing this report, Liang Xiaolong was extremely speechless, who did it, it's too boring, right? These are all blank ballots, and it is impossible to know the result in advance if they are stolen, isn't it a typical thankless task? Therefore, it can basically be ruled out that the media did it, because it can't be done. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info00

If it wasn't the media, who would it be? Could it be a competitor, such as the Golden Globe Organizing Committee? But there's no need to use such a boring method, right? If you don't do it, you'll get a sāo.

In response to this incident, the film school quickly came forward to explain, claiming that it was a mistake by the post office staff, and that the academy would immediately resend the ballot papers and extend the voting deadline to March 23, which would not delay the Oscars.

The film school's explanation pales in comparison, the ballot is in the post office, how could it be lost? It must have been stolen, and as for who stole it, no one knows. The Chicago Times ridiculed at this time: It is estimated that the thief thinks this year's Oscars are too boring and wants to make some jokes.

First the Wall Street Journal, and then the loss of votes, did create a lot of jokes, and the Oscar organizing committee was about to be mad, and the next work attitude became more rigorous, for fear of causing any more accidents.

During this time, "Legend of Doom" has been released for ten weeks, and the ability to grab the box office is still good, the United States has won 100 million US dollars, and the overseas box office is also higher, 1.065 billion US dollars, and the global total box office has reached 1.525 billion US dollars, which is getting closer and closer to the 3.5 billion US dollars of "Titanic", with only a gap of 100 million US dollars.

"Legend of Doom" will be released for seven weeks, and it may even extend the release cycle, can't it win a box office of 100 million dollars? It can be said that it has become a fact that the box office chart has been refreshed, and a new record will soon be born.

"Breaking the record, that won't satisfy me." Carl's heart is bigger than anyone else's, and his demand is not only to break the record, but also to break the two billion mark. In this way, the first film to break the billion mark and the first film to break the two billion mark are all from Yanhuang Film Company, from the hands of Liang Xiaolong, what kind of glory will it be?

However, Carl estimated that according to the current box office trend, the box office can reach 1.9 billion, but whether it can break through the 2 billion mark is a question: "It seems that we have to add a fire and make the box office hot again, so as to ensure that we can break through the 2 billion mark and ensure the advantage on the box office record list." As soon as he thought of it, Carl immediately summoned the company's planning and publicity staff.

The next day, there was an official news from Yanhuang Film Company: "Legend of Doom" was filmed as a sequel, soliciting ideas, including plot, monster samples, and Daredevil samples. The sequel will follow the second version, and the call for ideas will take two months, and after two months, the captain will lead the company's screenwriting team to create the perfect story.

"Legend of Doom" is one of the hottest films so far, about to break the box office record, although it has been ten weeks since its release, but the box office is about to be broken, and all major media are paying attention to it.

The Los Angeles Daily commented: It is naturally a good thing that "Doomsday Legend" wants to shoot a sequel, and with the captain's character, he naturally spares money and spends a lot of money to build, maybe soon, we can see a visual blockbuster again. So, what are you waiting for? Don't you want such a film to have its own plot and its own monster Daredevil?

The Los Angeles Daily reported on Carl's plan very well, while the Chicago Sun jumped out and said the opposite: we just want to see the captain's original plot, original film.

However, no matter what the media says or does, it is subconsciously fueling the enthusiasm of fans, and the result is that more and more fans are returning to the cinema to relive the film, and then write down every detail in order to make suggestions for the sequel. It was also this week that the box office really rebounded to a certain extent, winning $31 million in the United States and $53 million overseas. As a result, the total domestic box office is as high as 691 million US dollars, and the total overseas box office is also as high as 100 million US dollars. The global box office has reached $0.9 billion, and a new record is close at hand.

The box office rebounded, and Liang Xiaolong was naturally happy in his heart, but a report in the Chicago Sun broke his good mood. Manders' interview. At present, Sam has won the Directors Guild of America Best Director. The Directors Guild has always been the bellwether of the Oscars, and since its inception in 1949, the Directors Guild has had a total of 48 winners on the same list as the Oscars. This means that Sam is very likely to win the Oscar for Best Director.

As for Sam himself, he has always refused to answer positively whether he will win the award in the future, and only expressed his gratitude to his direct boss, who is also an internationally renowned director. Spielberg's support for him, and he also misses the crew's efforts in interpreting the role during the filming.

In addition, the Chicago Sun also wrote: Without "American Beauty", this year's Oscars would be pale and weak, and this film is destined to be the big winner at the awards ceremony. It is not a romance film in the strict sense, but more like a life film, an ethics film, the more you taste, the more flavorful it is. Comparatively, "Legend of Doom" and "The Sixth Sense", although also successful, are too commercial.

"It looks like this year is a bit of a hanging." Liang Xiaolong also has a bad opinion of this, although he thinks that he is not without a chance, but the list of winners of the Directors Guild has always been a weather vane, and Sam's chances of winning the award are indeed greater than him. However, he is not without opportunities, "Legend of Doom" has a good integration of art and commerce, while the special effects technology is used to the extreme, it is also expounding on the harm of biochemical research to human beings. Of course, it is more about the performance, the state of life of people in the last days, and it is also to guide human beings to reflect on the future.

Finally, the Chicago Sun-Times also included an interesting anecdote when the reporter interviewed the 11-year-old finalist Shire. When Joe Osment predicted the results of the Academy Awards, the little guy wittily said: "Many of the shortlisted films are 'not suitable for children', and most of them I didn't have a chance to watch. ”

There have been a lot of troubles before the Oscars, but these are just small things, and the real big things are coming. Previously, after the loss of votes, the film school strictly ordered the next work to be more rigorous, but in less than a week, another incident happened that made them ashamed and embarrassed, and the 55 golden statues prepared for the awards party disappeared in transportation. You can't give Barbie to the winners, right?

Now the fun is great, and the reporters have something to report again, and one tabloid even typed such a headline: On the day of the award ceremony, what will the college use to replace the little golden man? The simplest and most direct is to carve a small gold figure with a carrot, wrap a layer of gold sè aluminum foil on the outside, and then ask the photographer not to always face the camera at the little gold figure to ensure that the stuffing is not exposed. Of course, this is also the most uncreative way to do it, and the academy can completely break the jar and replace it with something else, such as a golden pig for saving money......

"What the hell is the film school trying to do this year?" After reading this report, Liang Xiaolong couldn't cry or laugh, first lose the votes, and then lose the little golden man, don't be attacked by terrorists at the award ceremony again.

"Look at this." Jessica handed over the variety newspaper, which read: This year's Oscars lack highlights except for "Legend of Doom" and "American Beauty", and the competitiveness of these two films does not overwhelm Xing's advantage, which creates a phenomenon that the Oscars are not hot enough. Faced with such a situation, the film school is also very helpless, if it continues like this, I am afraid that this year's ratings will be a big problem. So how can this be improved? Quite simply, creating topics, such as lost votes, is a good selling point and achieves good results.

However, the loss of votes is only a small matter after all, the little golden man is lost, and the award ceremony cannot be carried out, which is a big deal. Therefore, the loss of the little golden man is very likely to be a conspiracy of the film academy and ABC TV, the purpose of which is to attract the attention of the audience.

The report of Variety News also quickly aroused the interest of the majority of fans, and other media also asked about it during the interview. In this regard, the film school naturally vigorously denied it, and declared that it would cooperate with the police to do everything possible to recover the little golden man. At the same time, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the statue makers will be asked to rush to produce another batch of statuettes, and there will definitely be no Oscars without statuettes.

But no matter how the film school denies it, many people already think in their hearts that it is the plot of the film school and ABC TV. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental that both the votes and the statuette were lost at the same Oscars? If it weren't for Yin Mou, it could only be said that the staff of the Oscar Organizing Committee were all pigs, and the votes were lost, and they hadn't been alerted, and the pigs weren't so stupid.

"Probably not, right?" Liang Xiaolong is a little unsure, this kind of thing is negative news after all, and it is also very likely to be remembered by history, which will leave an indelible scandal in the history of the Oscars. But this possibility cannot be ruled out, especially ABC TV, as the organizer of the Oscars, if the ratings can't go up, where will the profits come from?

"There is nothing impossible for people to seek profit." Rachel agrees with Variety's statement that ABC TV hosts the Oscars every year, and the annual cost is very large, and if the ratings can't be improved, the consequences will not only be to lose money, but even lose in the next round of hosting and be hosted by other TV stations.

"Why all this frivolous speculation?" Jessica giggled, "Honey, or just give Mark a call, and he'll definitely give us the real answer." ”

"Good way." Sophie immediately handed over the phone: "If you don't know the answer, you will feel like you have been tricked." ”
