Chapter 388 Oscar Nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. The box office of "People Are Embarrassed in Thailand" exceeded 300 million in the first week, and it suddenly became a miracle in everyone's hearts.

When Luo Mo just said that he was going to shoot the second part of "People in Embarrassment", there were many people who were worried about the prospects of his filming of this movie, worried that he would not be able to let this movie get a high box office, and maybe the box office godhead of his comedy movie would be shattered......

However, now that the movie is out, it exceeded 300 million box office in the first week......

This number is really terrifying, and it is full of surprises for everyone......

Sure enough, Luo Mo is the one who can constantly create surprises for everyone.

When the release of "People Are Embarrassed in Thailand" was in full swing, a piece of news came to everyone's ears.

On February 8, 2011, the Academy Awards announced the list of films shortlisted for this year's Academy Awards.

The Academy Awards are the most influential film awards in the world, and many people do not necessarily know the four major film awards in Europe, but they will definitely know the Academy Awards.

Every Academy Award selection will also attract the attention of the whole world.

If you can win an award at the Academy Awards, it is also a very honorable thing, and it can also bring huge economic benefits and other benefits - if an actor, director and other cast and crew can win the Oscar, his future value will be much higher in an instant.

Jeff Bridges, a supporting actor in 2010's "Inception", was selected for Best Actor at the Academy Awards, and after that, the promotion of "Inception" instantly smoothed a lot.

Many foreign-language films, with all their calculations, are asking for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and if they get it, that movie is likely to turn over.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the award for Best Foreign Language Film, and its value suddenly doubled, of course, the film itself also made the world re-understand Chinese martial arts, and also liked the fluttering temperament in it, and under the overlap of various factors, it created a global box office of more than 200 million US dollars.

As a result, after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", there are more people who are eager for an Oscar for the best foreign language film position, and films from more than 100 other countries in the world are vying for this position......

You don't see, Zhang Guoshi has been using it for so many years, and he has always wanted to get a position of Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film Director...... It's a pity that he has not been able to get his wish, and after "The City is Full of Golden Armor", Zhang Guoshi was finally disheartened...... It's just that after "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", this product claimed to have invested one billion yuan to shoot "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", which should be to use this movie to hit the Oscars again. However, Zhang Guoshi's idea is likely not to come true, and "Jinling Thirteen" may become a non-standard movie that Chinese and foreigners feel that they can't watch, and his dream of bidding for the Olympics is likely to be shattered.

In short, foreign language film is a film award that everyone aspires to, including every award in it.

Luo Mo's "Inception" is one of the four Chinese-language films that applied for Best Foreign Language Film at this year's Academy Awards, but among the four Chinese-language films, the most likely is "Inception", and the other films basically have no award-winning style.

And now, nominations for various awards for the 2011 Academy Awards are out......

Among the best foreign language films, this was originally an Academy Award where all Asian films were out, but now there is one more "Inception".

This year's Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film nominated five films -

Greece's "Dog's Tooth", Denmark's "A Better World", Canada's "Scorched Earth City", Algeria's "Outlaw", China's "Inception"!

After a decade, Chinese films have finally appeared on the list of nominations for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards.

This is indeed a big win.

After learning about this list, Chinese fans are very happy, and they are looking forward to another Chinese-language film after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to win glory for everyone at the Academy Awards, and another Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. However, no matter what everyone expects, the Academy Awards ceremony will not be held until the end of February, and whether "Inception" has the ability to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film will also be available at the end of February.

Therefore, everyone's current random speculation will not have many results.

Now there are also a lot of people waiting for Luo Mo to answer a lot of questions, and they want to know what Luo Mo thinks about "Inception" going to the Oscars, and how sure he is of winning this movie - it is true that as Chinese fans, the hearts of the big guys are very much looking forward to "Inception" being able to return smoothly in this Oscar.

Everyone always feels that Luo Mo and Zhang Guoshi are not the same kind of people, although his films are widely popular in the West, but they are also highly regarded in China, he is not completely for the taste of the West, but has found a balance, so everyone's expectations for his films to compete for the Oscars are particularly high.

"Inception" is only limited to Best Foreign Language Film, in fact, as long as it is released in North America for more than seven days, it can compete for other awards, including Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects and so on...... It's just that his arms can't twist his thighs, Luo Mo's "Inception" is likely to win a Best Foreign Language Film, but no one thinks that Luo Mo can win the Oscar for Best Director through "Inception", or "Inception" can win a Best Film by itself...... No one can count on this.

Therefore, everyone is only looking forward to the award for the best foreign language film.

Luo Mo himself actually does not have a lot of confidence, it is true that "Inception" was one of the best movies at the global box office last year, and it is also the best box office film in the world except for American films, and its global final box office can enter the top 40 in global film history, but many awards are actually always biased towards movies that do not perform relatively well at the box office at some times......

The Oscars are the same in many cases, some box office hits can always only win awards such as Best Visual Effects and Best Editing in the Oscars, and the best film awards are often "The King's Speech" and "Bomb Disposal Unit......

Therefore, from this point of view, Luo Mo does lack confidence in "Inception".

In addition to the fact that "Inception" was nominated for the 2011 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, Luo Mo has another thing that has attracted wide attention, and that is his "Nightmare".

After the arrival of February, "Nightmare" also began to be released abroad, and the countries where it was first released were also relatively unpopular - Denmark, Italy, Brazil and other 8 countries, and it was difficult to produce too much box office in these countries. At this time, the distribution rights on the American side were also negotiated, and in the end, the Americans bought the North American release rights of "Nightmare" and the DVD distribution rights in North America, as well as the DVD distribution rights in Europe and the DVD distribution rights and release rights in South America for $35 million.

$35 million is a very good price, and although it can't be compared to movies like Inception, it's still very good.

Of course, they also made this decision because they believed that "Nightmare" could gain a very good reputation and sales in North America and Europe, and bought the rights at such a high price.

35 million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 200 million yuan, just with such an income, "Nightmare" has also recovered its cost in a situation that made Luo Mo himself a little surprised.

The film classification of "Nightmare" in North America, it is absolutely impossible to be classified into PG, and "Jaws", which played a big game back then, was actually classified at the PG level, and it was immediately questioned by many people, but it was useless to question, and it was still released.

PG rating means tutoring grade and is recommended for school-age children, but caution is required...... PG 13 is a special tutoring level and is recommended for children over 13 years old......

And "Nightmare" has the worst rating NC-17, of course, this NC-17 rating is certainly not translated as brain-dead -17, but movies in this rating, which are forbidden for 17-year-olds, including children under 17 years old...... Under such strict control, the North American box office of the film can basically be said to be not worth looking forward to...... There is no expected value.

The films that were assigned to the NC-17 class along with "Nightmare" were "One Hundred and Twenty Days of Sodom", "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and "Lust and Caution...... Therefore, the rating of "Nightmare" is actually very unfavorable. Of course, the distribution company also took this into account, and also knew that the box office of "Killing Nightmare" in North America was basically not worth looking forward to, but they still did it without hesitation, because they believed in Luo Mo and believed in this movie.

Because even if this movie is only seen as a CULT film, it can attract a lot of CULT film lovers, and in this world, especially in the United States, I dare not say anything else, there are still a lot of CULT film lovers, and they are also confident that the box office of "Nightmare" will exceed 5 million US dollars.

Of course, $5 million is too little compared to the $35 million buyout fee, but the key point is that the film's North American and European release rights, as well as South American release rights and South American DVD rights, have been sold.

Of course, they can see in advance that DVD will be the most profitable part of this movie, this kind of bloody movie, DVD will generally be bought by many people, not to mention, this movie is directed by Luo Mo, his "Inception" has sold nearly 10 million genuine DVDs on the earth so far, so his name is very secure...... Coupled with the release rights in South America, they believe in Luo Mo even more and believe that "Killing Nightmare" can recover the cost.

As a result, most of the copyrights of "Nightmare" have been sold, and to Luo Mo's studio, it is particularly surprising that there are distributors in Japan who are trying to buy the rights of this movie...... This surprised Luo Mo, and after being surprised, he also waved his hand - if you want to buy it, buy it, if you can let the Japanese really watch this movie, then he feels that the significance of making this movie will be even more significant.
