Chapter 52: Oscar (Part 3)

Disney has now become the public enemy of all the film companies in the United States!

Relying on the two major IPs of Marvel and Star Wars, it is okay to make money for one "Star Wars" every year, fuck, Marvel movies, one after another, there used to be a little convergence, only three or four a year, after the acquisition of Fox, X-Men mutants, Marvel superheroes, the number of productions per year has reached ten!

That's not all, they are also preparing to build a movie plan for X-Men and Marvel to be linked together...

To put it bluntly, it's all the superheroes assembled, and then the money was circled...

As a result, every year there are more than a dozen superhero films alone, and then they are released every month!

It's simply not going to give other movies a way to live!

"The market value of people is 00 billion US dollars, and we only have 9 billion, which is not an order of magnitude..."

David smiled bitterly and reluctantly reassured.

After the acquisition of Twentieth Century Fox, Disney became the world's No. 1 media group, and the original Murdoch News Corporation was forced to split...

In other words, Disney is really good at being a person, selling a few inconspicuous superhero IPs to other companies - uh, in fact, Marvel couldn't survive at the beginning, so it had to sell the copyright to make a living...

It's like Lionsgate, they have the IP of the Hellboys.

……

The Oscars, held every year on the last Sunday of February, are no exception this year!

As we all know, the Oscar is a union award, more than 6,000 people have voting rights, and dozens of films are nominated every year, how can you determine the best movie in your mind?

It's unlikely that you will watch every single one!

Because many of those who have the right to vote are very busy, the so-called performance of the duties of the judges is just a formality, and in most cases, awards that have no interest in them choose to vote with their feet, or vote for each other to see which name is familiar and pleasing to the eye.

If you think about it, Zhang Ziyi and Gu Changwei have the right to vote, but they live in the mainland and have their own jobs, where did they get the time to fly to North America to watch every movie?

Therefore, among many Oscar judges, what is important is public relations and media publicity!

By the way, pants and Fan Ye also have the right to vote, I don't know if they will be taken back...

As for the voting method of the Oscars, it belongs to the typical "single-wheel vote-first-served" voting system.

That is, whoever has the most votes will receive the prize!

More than 6,000 people voted, and under this probability, double yolk eggs exist, but very few, and there have only been three double yolk eggs in Oscar film history...

In fact, no matter what kind of voting system it is, the favor points generated by many methods such as public relations and lobbying occupy a considerable share, and can even determine the ownership of the award.

Pani? Kelis has revealed to Bai Xiaofei in advance, and the probability of winning the award for the best director is more than sixty percent!

Well, the ghost knows how this probability is calculated, but she said it, and Xiaobai believed it.

"Is your acceptance speech ready?"

"Of course!"

Don't think that the award-winning actors of the Oscars did not recite their acceptance speeches in advance, especially the heaviest awards, after winning them, people will definitely be excited, all kinds of exaggerations, these expressions, actions, and absolutely have practiced dozens of times in front of the mirror!

Of course, Cameron's 'I'm the King of the World', probably improvised...

There are also some people who behave out of their way and speak unscrupulously, and if they say something wrong at the Oscars, it may even affect their future prospects.

For example, to express opinions on many issues such as war and homosexuality...

Xiaobai will definitely not say such a thing, the war has a hairy relationship with him, homosexuality?

I'm sorry, Xiaobai is not gay, and even he is a little discriminatory, of course, Lily is not among them, is there anything more exciting in the world than seeing two beautiful little girls kiss with their own eyes?

No!

……

Xiaobai walked on the red carpet with Yang Lan in his arms and beckoned to the fan area.

Then he walked through the red carpet at a normal walking speed, and originally thought of entering the interview area and said a few casual words.

But was stopped by the host.

The final box office of "Kung Fu" in North America was 74 million US dollars, and "Knocking on the Door of Heaven" is close to the next draw, with a cumulative box office of 1.8 billion US dollars, Xiaobai has been very popular recently!

Lao Mei has rarely experienced the time when she was swiped by a director...

"It doesn't matter if I win the award or not, but I hope Jim Carrey will win!"

"There will be a "One Flew Over the Asylum" that will start filming soon, and I hope to support it a lot when the time comes..."

"Quentin sexual harassment? It's not too clear, I'm not a local..."

chatted for several minutes, and the host let Xiaobai go.

Holding Yang Lan's hand, the two sat in the seating area of "Man on the Moon", Jim Carrey has not yet arrived, yes, compared with the director, the actor needs more exposure!

"Director."

"Sweet tea, "Little Women" is great, you played it very well!"

"Thanks for the compliment..."

After TimothΓ©e Chalamet left, Lucas Hedges walked over: "Director..."

"Hi Lucas!"

"Is this your girlfriend?"

β€œβ€¦ She's my wife! ”

"Wow, that's beautiful!"

The young lady smiled and nodded: "Thank you..."

After saying hello, Lucas Hedges returned to the seating area of "Baby Boy"...

"How do I feel like these two are a bit competitive?"

"Hehe, you guessed it, they are both post-95 Hollywood acting geniuses, they belong to different camps, and the brokerage companies behind them have all kinds of stirring..."

β€œβ€¦ Are they the actors of "Knocking on Heaven's Door"? ”

"That's right," Xiaobai asked a little strangely, "Haven't you seen the edited version?" ”

β€œβ€¦ Foreigners all look similar, I can tell who is with whom! ”

Makes sense!

While chatting, Jim Carrey and David walked over.

pinched the point, just finished saying hello, the music on the stage suddenly sounded, everyone looked ahead, and with the others clapping their palms together, the 92nd Academy Awards kicked off.

This year's Oscars brought in Bill Maher, the veteran talk show host!

Probably because of the decline in ratings in the past few years, they realized that it was better to find someone who could hold up, and it was more interesting...

The big screen lit up first, and the ten films nominated for Best Picture appeared on the big screen one after another, and then the performance moments of Best Actor and Best Actress...

As soon as Bill Maher appeared, he received applause from the audience, the host of HBO has many die-hard fans in Lao Mei, and "Mach Talk Show" is also a long-lasting show.

"Welcome to the 92nd Oscars, I'm Bill Maher..."

As usual, it's about ten minutes of talk show time, and then the awards begin...

There was no suspense, Jim Carrey won the Best Actor.

"Thank you so much to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for giving me such a wonderful evening! First of all, I would like to thank Director Bai Xiaofei, without him, there would be no movie "The Man on the Moon"! ”

"Thank you to the four actors nominated together, we are all the same, we belong to the disciples of the movie!"

"I would also like to thank all the fans who supported me, without you I would not be able to stand on stage again!"

"Thank you for the movie, thank you..."

Jim Carrey's acceptance speech was short, but it was touching enough that even the competitors were willing to stand up and applaud him!
