ใBig Winner!ใ "Titanic" won four awards: Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor and Actress! ใ

[Reveal the 'Wittelsbach Blue Diamond' and tell you how much Roland Allen gave away last night!] ใ
Early the next morning, Roland Allen and Kate Winslet appeared on the front page of major media headlines, and the photo of kneeling on one knee on the stage and raising the ring to propose marriage became the first choice for the cover of all newspapers and magazines.
Even if "Titanic" won a big victory and was officially promoted to become the most nominated and award-winning film in Oscar history, the instant ratings of 73 million at the Oscars exceeded the second place 20 million, and according to the total population of 276 million people in the census, more than 26.4 percent of Americans watched the Oscars live last night, which was the most-watched program except for the extreme conflicts such as the Rodney King riots and the Simpsons murder case, but they still couldn't stop Roland Allen from making headlines, or rather, Roland Allen was the one with the biggest coffee last night!
Although the personal coffee position is bigger than the Oscar, it sounds a little magical, but when you think about it, it is actually normal.
The Oscar is just an award, even if there are America's oldest, most authoritative and professional adjectives, the Oscar is just an award, people will not like the Oscar, and the reason why they pay attention to it is only because in the list of nominees, there are people they like, what people want to see is that the guy they support wins the award, and if there is no foundation for these drains, even if the award is high, it will only become a niche, and finally become a stupid beep.
That's why it's obvious that Roland Allen is making headlines.
There's no way, it's a cow beep with a lot of fans!
Others need Oscar drainage, but Roland Allen can drain Oscar.
Of course, if Roland Allen simply won an Oscar, pushed the youngest record forward by more than ten years, and is very likely to maintain it forever, then it is the Oscars that make headlines with him.
Because in the past month, under the bombardment of those media, people's minds only have the judgment of whether Roland Allen can win the award, and when the award is announced, everything will settle, the Oscar honor and the person who won the honor will be integrated, and it will be interdependent and mutually endorsing.
Oscar affirmed Roland Allen's performance, and at the same time, Roland Allen's huge fan base will also admit that Oscar is right, and from any point of view, it is a win-win.
But the problem is that when Roland Allen raised his ring and proposed marriage in the national live broadcast, Oscar became his background board......
To put it mildly, although the Oscars commendation conference has been made into a national event, in the final analysis, in the eyes of the outside public, the little golden man is just a means to improve the style of the guy he likes or worships.
The biggest success of the Oscars is to push their own standards to the public, so that those people can have a benchmark to measure when giving others Amway their favorite guys, so that fans can pretend to be beep when they quarrel, if they have to dig deeper, this honor is just a catalyst for the public to sublimate their pride to the limit.
This is a high level of spiritual satisfaction, and it does not have much of a role in promoting the real life of the public.
Not only that, but the Oscars do not sell anything other than adding honor to film practitioners.
In this way, when it exists on its own, it may be sacred.
But if you want to compare it with the extremely romantic love, the catalyst of Oscar is extremely small.
Even though it has been three months since the release of "Titanic", it is still the box office weekly champion.
The record of fifteen consecutive weeks of box office champions is not something that can be achieved by fans buying tickets alone, and has climbed to a total global box office of 1.7 billion, and it has engraved the love between Jack and Ruth into the hearts of the audience!
And in this case -
Roland Allen and Kate Winslet got the Golden Man at the same time?
The two dead and alive people who can make the audience cry in the theater actually walked out of the movie??
Roland Allen actually proposed to Kate Winslet in public at the Oscars???
Ah Wei is dead!!
_(:ะทใโ )_
After watching "Titanic", one of the most discussed things is Jack's death and Ruth's loneliness, and people wonder if Jack survives, whether the two can live happily.
The guy who is looking forward to love thinks that the guy who can give his life for each other will definitely love each other for a lifetime, while the guy who emphasizes reality says that they will definitely break up because of the washout and blow of reality.
Both sides insist on their own words, and no one can convince anyone, and now ......
No need to argue.
Because, Jack has already proposed to Ruth!
Or propose at the Oscars!
"Titanic" sells the love that the public desires, and the marriage proposal is to bring the beauty that stays in the story into reality, and the proposal at the Oscars, the kind of impact that crosses the dimension, can arouse people's beautiful fantasies!
When the characters and actors completely coincide, when the abrupt love in the movie continues in reality, what is the youngest actor in the history of the Oscars, and what is the film with the most nominations and awards in the history of the Oscars-
These titles don't matter at all!
Because the real result that people see is love!
Oscar, this thing that many people yearn for and work hard to impact, is just a background board that adds luster to love!
In this way, after the Oscars, this term, which can dominate the attention of the outside world in previous years, can only be stunned this time, helplessly watching the people study the guy who is related to it, but has nothing to do with it.
Because people are discussing how much Roland loves Kate!
Because people are discussing how romantic it is to give away jewelry worth 50 million at the Oscars!
Because people are discussing when the peripherals of "Titanic", which symbolizes beautiful love, will be restocked!
That's right, the day after the Oscars ended, or rather, after the live marriage proposal in the United States, the box office that was still growing at a rate of two or three million per day soared again!
In the past three months, the three movies "Wedding Singer", "Outlaw Assassin", and "Man in the Iron Mask" can fight, seeing that the popularity of "Titanic" is about to pass, these three movies are actually ready to hit the top of the box office, but I didn't expect that a marriage proposal would directly dry up the box office of "Titanic"!
On the 24th, four million ...... were reported
On the 25th, it rose to 6 million ......
On the 26th, it soared to 8 million ......
A movie that has been in theaters for fifteen weeks, at the time of sixteen, grosses the box office on three weekdays, more than the opening weekend of countless films?
This made the new line that launched "Wedding Singer", Warner, who launched "Outlaw Assassin", and MGM who "The Man in the Iron Mask" extremely speechless......
They knew that Roland Allen fans were very capable of playing, but they didn't know that these guys could play so well......
It's been on the theaters for so long, Roland Allen fans should have seen them all, but even so, those guys still walked into the theater! If you say it nicely, it's called support, and if you don't say it well, it's giving money!
This situation has made peers fall into numbness.
also asked those data companies to adjust the global box office of the entire movie from 180 million to 200 million.
Before, when the box office of "Titanic" fell off a cliff, they thought that this movie might not be able to break 2 billion, but now...... No one doubted that this film would not be able to break records!
Because it's really not good, Roland can still have an engagement ceremony to stimulate the box office!
If it's a little bit closer, then continue to push it up with a grand wedding!
That is, the guy who lives in Los Angeles and gets up at 4 a.m. to practice is not yet famous.
Otherwise, the name of six billion will be hung on Roland Allen!
If in most cases, the real blessing of the Oscars for the movie has to be reflected through the box office, then for "Titanic", the data of 18 million in three days is really only the most substantial.
Because of its peripherals, it has been sold out.
On the 24th, the video disc of "Titanic" was officially put on the shelves.
In just one day, the first batch of 660,000 DVDs prepared by Fox was sold out.
"Titanic" is the first movie in history to officially release a disc when it was still in theaters, and the terrifying speed of selling out on the first day made insiders feel the madness of fans for the second time.
Although Fox had already expected it when watching the live Oscars broadcast, their advance preparations were still less, but when they left work in the afternoon, the orders that flooded the office still exceeded their expectations.
Not only that, but on the 24th, there is also the single "My Heart is Eternal".
Without any water filling, the first day is platinum.
Universal, who was responsible for distributing the song, woke up laughing in their dreams after seeing such a result!
Why?
Because of the normal distribution, it has to spend money on publicity.
But under Roland's manipulation, they didn't do anything, and the money was already in hand.
Even according to the contract signed before, they need to give Roland Allen a large share, and they have also paid a lot of manpower and material resources when they give Roland the Olympics, but compared to the soaring single sales, all this is really nothing.
Of course, the popular listings of "Titanic" and "My Heart Eternal" will definitely be followed by piracy.
But the problem is that just when Fox and Universal were ready to fight piracy, they suddenly found that the pirated copies that swept the market on weekdays could not be sold genuinely this time!
This situation confuses the six anomalies.
And when they understood the reason, a wry smile came to their faces.
The reason why pirated copies can't be sold is very simple.
Because the guy who likes to spend money on DVDs and singles on weekdays, he doesn't buy pirated copies this time.
Why do people buy Titanic DVDs? The single "My Heart Is Eternal"?
Isn't it the love that longs for dreams to shine into reality to be able to appear in yourself?
Those people are not buying DVDs at all, but the love sold by Roland Allen and Kate Winslet, the beautiful fantasy they long for and want to exist, and in this case, who would choose piracy?
As for buying pirated DVDs to watch movies?
If you think about this kind of thing with Jio's fingers, you know that it can't exist!
Because the movie hasn't been released again!
Going to the theater to watch a movie is not only effective, but also cheap......
If you have to say that buying pirated DVDs and going back to watch movies is to be able to watch them a few more times at home and avoid the money from going in and out of the theater many times, then this is really raising the bar.
"Titanic" was released for sixteen weeks, and those who wanted to watch the movie had already gone to the theater to see it.
If you haven't seen it, you basically don't want to see it.
When these people buy pirated copies, the most they think about is to try it out.
But the price of buying a pirated copy and watching it once far exceeds the cost of going to the theater to watch it once.
As for renting pirated discs?
There is no oil or water in this business for pirates.
As a result, the six things that made the six people laugh and cry appeared the most......
The biggest impact of the marriage proposal at the Oscars is not that the box office has risen by 20 million, nor that the video has bought nearly 1 million copies, nor that the single has rushed to the major charts overnight, but that the genuine version has been pirated at nearly three times the price!
"It seems that the best way to combat piracy is to get customers not to buy piracy themselves......
"As for how to get customers not to buy pirated copies?"
"Then it depends on the actor and director......"
"Boasting to us all day long, how many fans do you have?"
"Does it work?"
"Judging from the quality shown by these fans now, none of the other actors deserve to take a share!"
"Fans who don't even want to buy genuine movie gift packs, can they be considered fans?"
"You don't spend money, so why do you say you love me?"
Although these are the complaints of the six high-level executives after seeing the crazy feedback from fans, I have to say that the behavior of these fans has indeed affected the pricing of other artists.
Eighty percent of the profits of a project come from the surrounding Hollywood, which can only bring the box office, that is obviously not enough.
In the past, the Big Six may not have included peripheral sales capabilities in the artist's pricing formula, because the good peripheral sales are actually all kinds of IP, but now, with the classic demonstration of Roland Allen, other people's lives will be even more difficult.
However, those guys are sad or not, in fact, they have nothing to do with Roland Allen anymore.
Anyway, since he retires, there are only two movies left that have signed a contract.
After filming "Spider-Man 2 and 3", after the announcement was completed according to the prior agreement, the identity of the actor, a tool man in the eyes of capital, has come to an end, although he sympathizes with other tool people, but ......
It's just sympathy.
Of course, when he didn't officially say goodbye to his identity as an actor, Roland Allen still had to pay off his debts.
First and foremost, Time Warner needed a cover photo and an interview with Time magazine.
