Chapter 179: Impact (2/5)
It's not over yet, the best film in the drama category was also awarded to "The Hunt"...
"The Artist" won Best Picture in the Comedy/Cabaret category.
Producer David's comments are simple: "'The Hunt' is actually a fable type of movie, we all like sensational news, people don't pay attention to the truth, but pay more attention to whether the story is as they expected it to be, or whether it is beneficial to them. And malice, once formed, will stay with you for the rest of your life. ”
"We watched a lot of comments saying that the movie was too deliberate, but what we showed was just a microcosm of reality, just ask Michael Jackson about the egg incident, a few people care about the truth, and most of them can't wait to put a hat on him!"
That's right, it's also a strategy that was made in advance - the producers and actors made the news on such an important occasion as the Golden Globes.
"Hunting" immediately occupied the high and low levels of public opinion!
And it was on the fly - the moment Leonardo announced that "The Hunt" was dedicated to Michael Jackson, the ratings went up several times, and then a bunch of people asked on Twitter about the time of the outbreak of the Civil War... No, it's Michael's thing...
That night, Michael Jackson's web search volume skyrocketed by 2000%, Twitter, Facebook, all discussing "Hunting", Shen Mengxi, Michael Jackson...
Michael Jackson's influence is amazing!
To cite a simple example, a few minutes after Jackson's death was reported, Google, Twitter, Facebook, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and other major websites went down...
Specifically, in terms of economic benefits, the most powerful thing for the issuer is to continue to expand the venue!
"Hunting" was released in November, and so far, there are less than 200 theaters left in North America, and the film scheduling rate is only a pitiful less than 3 percent, and on the second day of the Golden Globe Awards, "Hunting" has expanded its screening in North America after the previous screening, and the North American theater chain and film scheduling rate have once again expanded significantly, and the number of theaters screened in North America has skyrocketed to 2200, and the film scheduling rate has increased to nearly 25 percent!
The most important thing is that a considerable number of North American fans, influenced by the three heavyweight Golden Globe winners of Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture, are mainly affected by Michael Jackson's response, and have entered the theater one after another, either to watch it again, or to watch this film for the first time, making the single-day box office of less than $80,000 more than $3 million in one fell swoop, and in the following weekend, it reported $5.84 million for three consecutive days. $6.76 million and $5.9 million, with an additional $18.5 million in North America.
Coupled with the accumulation of previous working days, the North American box office of "Hunting" has slowly approached the $150 million mark!
Not surprisingly, breaking 200 million in North America is not a dream!
The biggest impact on Shen Mengxi is... I can't go for the time being, he has to attend all kinds of talk shows, interview shows, and many awards, and he also gets a lot of awards...
Public relations, the momentum is up, at this time you are flashing?
......
"In fact, the story of "The Hunt" is not outstanding, as early as the sixties of the last century, there was a stage play "The Witches of Salem", which satirized that North America killed people under the banner of freedom and democracy... Later, the film "Jealousy Flying Ashes", also known as "The Age of Passion", starring Daniel Day-Lewis, "
Shen Mengxi was interviewed by "Watching Movies" in the hotel...
“... I think it's normal, after all, judging from the previous outpost, most of the film critics and media stood on "Hunting", and it was expected that they could win the best director and best film!"
"Then you are the first director in the mainland to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Director..."
"So, I'm making history?"
"Yes!"
"Haha..."Shen Mengxi smiled...
China, especially on the Internet, has almost praised Shen Mengxi to the sky - many times, national emotions will suppress personal emotions, no matter whether you are interested in him or not, you will search for her news and talk to others by the way.
In the past few days, many of the conversations have been:
"Do you know Shen Mengxi?"
"You know, what's wrong?"
"He's got the Golden Globe!"
"Damn, is that awesome?"
It's like Fan 800 million time - 'Do you know Fan Cake', 'Know', 'She was fined 800 million for running away from sleep!', '!
With "Hunting", the number of searches has increased several times...
The company announced that it will be released on February 27 - after the Oscars.
"Are you a fan of Michael Jackson?"
“... Hmm," Shen Mengxi nodded...
Anyway, Michael Jackson's big gun can't be put down...
Can't tell the truth at least until the Oscars!
"Then it's going to be the Oscars soon, there are many fans who expect you to win the Oscars, do you think you have hope?"
"It's hard to say... It also depends on the performance of the competitors. ”
"Which one are you most worried about?"
"The Artist!"
"Good quality?"
"That's not it, I bought a ticket for 'The Artist,' watched it for five minutes, and then I left, because I'm really not interested in the stories of the silent film era, but 'The Artist' is the kind of film that will make the Oscar judges shine because it's a black and white silent film!"
"The Artist" is so much of an appetite for the academy — even the experiences and personalities of the male protagonist in the film are a copy of Douglas Van Punk, the man who spearheaded the founding of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
As far as you say, is there any suspense that this movie will win the best picture?
......
The Oscar nominations have been announced.
"The Hunt" received seven nominations: Best Picture, Director, Leading Actor, Supporting Actor, Screenplay, Cinematography, Editing...
It's a big nominee, but it's not as good as "Hugo" and "The Artist" - both of which have ten nominations.
In fact, this year Harvey has prepared a double insurance: "The Artist" and "The Iron Lady".
"The Iron Lady" was completely suppressed.
Not only was it not shortlisted for Best Picture, but it was also not shortlisted for Best Director!
- "The Iron Lady" is trivial, overly feminine, putting Margaret Thatcher's human side in the foreground, while her side as a shrewd politician is fast-forwarded or even ignored.
Bad word-of-mouth!
Harvey analyzed it, the probability of "Hugo" winning the award is very low, so let's focus on "Hunting"!
How?
The usual way to create a related scandal!
In this way, he used this method to pull Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese and Roman Polanski and many others back, so that they either lost the best director or the best picture.
What scandal is Shen Mengxi?
Or that public speech - I'm not interested in the Oscars!
Oh, he didn't know that the New York Times and the Los Angeles News reported 'Harvey Weinstein!' and 'Harvey Weinstein!' and 'Harvey Weinstein, the one who can really decide the Oscars!'
Just hard hype, infinitely magnify Harvey's power, and hype it to the extent that the academy is disgusting with him!
