Chapter 198: Soaring Prestige (1/5)
"Posterity" is a movie starring George Clooney, the theme is a dying farewell, examining marriage and family - the flaws of the husband and the busyness of the father, focusing on the family, the pattern is small, so it is destined to run along...
After a brief chat, we said hello to each other.
George Clooney also has the means, after all, he starred in "Batman and Robin" - this film can be described as a terrible earth-shattering ghost, rotten and pounced, Warner spent more than 100 million to build, invited George Clooney and Schwarzenegger, and after the release, it almost broke George Clooney's star path...
But after that, he became one of the most powerful men in Hollywood with his multi-dimensional development as a director, producer, and screenwriter.
In fact, from an actor's point of view, Clooney is the kind of typical superstar: a character who can be cool, humorous, handsome, can do something bad, and then save the world at any time!
Nini is the same way...
Hollywood's veteran stars who are a little ambitious about their historical status and have a bit of a desire to play profound roles.
It just so happens that Shen Mengxi's scripts are all profound, and they have nothing to do with politics!
This one is so appealing.
In fact, when filming "Manchester by the Sea", David suggested that Shen Mengxi find Matt Silly or Ben Affleck...
For no other reason, the story takes place in Massachusetts...
But Shen Mengxi is thinking about the global box office, Matt is cute or Ben Affleck is a little worse than Xiao Lizi...
Then, Brad Pitt of "Moneyball" also led Angelina Jolie over to say hello...
The crew of "Bridesmaids" and "Help" all came over...
At this year's Oscars, Studio S mainly promoted two movies "Help" and "Hunting", Bren House also gained gains, and "Bridesmaids" was also shortlisted for Best Supporting Actress.
Coming out of the banquet, Shen Mengxi rubbed his face that was a little stiff with a smile: "Starved to death..."
"There's a burger seller over there. ”
Liu Yifei is also hungry...
It's really like this, everyone takes turns to bless, and there is no chance to eat at all...
From the beginning to the end of the Vanity Fair party, Shen Mengxi ate a few strawberries in addition to a stomach of champagne, because strawberries are easier to chew.
The young lady is in a similar situation, she is sitting on the edge of Shen Mengxi, a bunch of media shooting, if she is filmed gobbling up, it will definitely not look good...
The two hamburgers finally relieved the hunger feeling a little: "Let's go, I have to participate in the celebration banquet held by S Studio!"
It's destined to be a sleepless night!
The end of the dinner means that the night of the party has officially begun.
On the night of the Oscars, there were various parties, with studios holding parties to celebrate the company's award-winning films;
The parties held by the agency will be dominated by the artists of their own company, such as the parties of the four major agencies such as CAA, which must be star-studded;
Some non-profit organizations will also take the opportunity to throw parties...
Of course, there are also intimate parties that are not humane, and there are many people in Hollywood who like this!
Not including Mr. Shen, who is a serious person.
......
Destined for a long night, it was also a sleepless night for many, such as the numerous entertainment journalists, and the Oscars were definitely the front page headlines of all the entertainment news the next day.
"The biggest surprise of Oscar night, Chinese director won Best Director, and "Hunting" won Best Director, Best Picture and Best Actor, becoming the biggest winner!" – The Washington Post
"The Oscars came out unexpectedly, and "The Artist" only won a few inconsequential technical awards, which were completely suppressed by "The Hunting"!" - Los Angeles Times
"The Hunt" is not as good as "The Artist" in terms of artistic value and popularity, and the reason why it won the three awards of Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture is completely the result of public relations operations, which is not a victory for the film, but just a successful public relations!" - Chicago Suntime
You see, "The Artist" won the award, and the media criticized 'the whole night for looking like a AARP rally!'
"Hunting" won the award, and "The Artist" became the biggest pearl...
It doesn't matter, most of the mainstream media in North America have praised "The Hunt"...
For Shen Mengxi, his task has been accomplished!
Moreover, the biggest winner of the Oscars is not just a gain in reputation, it can be directly translated into economic benefits.
After the Golden Globe Awards, "Hunting" has been expanded for a round, with a cumulative box office of nearly $170 million, and a global box office of nearly $500 million.
Moreover, the future income will increase over time, and with the addition of the Oscar halo, the TV and network rights and DVD sales of "The Hunt" will double or even more than the average niche film.
Netflix offered $60 million to buy out the North American network rights for seven years, as well as DVD sales...
......
In China, CCTV first carried out a one-and-a-half-minute report on "News 30 Minutes", and then "News Network" conducted a one-and-a-half-minute report in the evening.
The next day, "People's Daily" also published a special article about Shen Mengxi's directorial journey...
It's known to the whole country.
Under this premise, "Hunting" was released in China, and the theater directly gave 45% of the film schedule, and the "Love Fans" released at the same time, Shu Qi + Yu Wenluo, only 6% of the film schedule, Spielberg's "War Horse" originally had 28% of the film schedule, but it was cut to only 10%, and even the film schedule of "Time Love Letter" was cut to only 12%...
On the 28th, Shen Mengxi returned to China to record "Potato Playing Big Names", and learned that the box office of "Hunting" on the first day was 69 million!
He was stunned...
That's an exaggeration!
"Hunting" is not a blockbuster!
Serious films...
Looking at the word-of-mouth and reviews, I am even more confused.
The Douban score is as high as 9.2 points, and the Time.com score is also 9.3 points...
"This movie makes people shudder, in many cases, what the truth is is not important to the onlookers, all they need is a fulcrum, let themselves stand on the false moral high ground, and be proud for a while, anyway, they will forget it in a few days, and let the truth be drowned out by new hunts, such people and things abound on Weibo. ”
"Occupy the moral high ground and hunt others, you have blood on your hands!?"
"After a shot, all the good is broken, and the malice of human beings is forever hidden in the chest, hidden under the smiling faces. ”
"It deserves to be the best picture at the Oscars, Shen Mengxi is amazing!"
Shen Mengxi turned off his mobile phone speechlessly, and sighed with emotion: "... Well, still underestimate the Oscar influence!"
The driver Xu Muyang smiled: "Director, many people are looking forward to your next movie..."
"What are you calling me?"
"Director..."
“...”
I'm a good billionaire and actually became a director?
Where do you make sense?
