Chapter 225
For a film company, in addition to box office, trophies are also essential, especially a work that can be so classic that everyone bows down is the most important thing.Even if MGM has declined to the brink of bankruptcy, it is still considered a Hollywood giant. In addition to his qualifications, his past demeanor is also eye-catching.
In MGM's vast film library, in addition to the enduring classic spy movies such as the "007 series", there is also a classic work called "Gone with the Wind".In the second year after "Gone with the Wind" was released, it won eight Oscars, which can be called one of the miracles in film and television.And to this day, "Gone with the Wind" videotapes and DVDs are still popular rental movies for Americans.Why do viewers rarely see this movie on PBS or movie cable?Because MGM gave the film a TV rights of up to 7 US dollars, and it was only broadcast once (not rebroadcast).Because of the high cost, general wireless movie channels or non-paid cable movie channels dare not buy this movie, and even paid movie channels only occasionally broadcast it once or twice to attract viewers.Unless it is the kind of movie channel that pays for the number of times it is broadcast, the audience can watch it at any time, and the rest of the TV channels can only treat it as if the movie has never been sold for TV show rights.
Not to mention MGM's inflated price, "Gone with the Wind" is indeed worth the price in terms of its box office back then and word-of-mouth so far.Jed's goal is to produce such a movie for the Galaxy Film Group, and the "Lord of the Rings" series is undoubtedly a very good choice.Like Gone with the Wind's original work "Gone with the Wind", "The Lord of the Rings" is a novel of milestone significance and a monumental work in the history of British and American literature.This set of novels not only has a large number of readers, but also has a very stable sales volume so far, so adapting this novel is the most likely to create a "Gone with the Wind" belonging to Galaxy Pictures.And just to be on the safe side, Jed even prepared to continue to use the "Hobbit Trilogy" on top if the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" fails. A classic huh?
Fortunately, Peter Jackson only used the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" to let Jed see the light. The reason why "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" was postponed was not only because of Jed's physical factors, In fact, there is a little bit of "making way for "Lord of the Rings 3".After all, "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings" are both magical movies. If they appear together in the Christmas file, they will definitely steal the limelight from each other. How can there be a chance for "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" to go straight to the 10 billion box office like it is now? The momentum to go?The important thing is that the box office results of "Lord of the Rings 3" are bound to attract the attention of major media and professional film critics, and the quality of the film itself is very high, so "Lord of the Rings 3" is very likely to dominate the Hollywood awards season.
And the performance of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" in the Hollywood awards season did not disappoint the audience and Jed.As we all know, Hollywood has entered the rhythm of the annual awards season after Thanksgiving every year. From the end of November to the beginning of March of the following year will be the awarding time of major Hollywood awards. Of course, the Oscars at the end of February every year will be It's the climax of awards season.There are three types of awards in the Hollywood awards season: one is professional association awards, such as the directors’ union, photographers’ union, actors’ union, screenwriters’ union, and even the art director’s union, casting directors’ union, and producers’ union all have their own awards. The highest level of these award ceremonies is the Academy Award issued by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences; the other is the Film Critics Award, such as the three major film critic organizations in the United States: , the American Association of Broadcast Film Critics all have their own awards, and other local film critics associations in the United States also have their own awards, especially the film critics associations in ticket warehouse cities such as Boston, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Quite large; the last type is film-related awards from non-professional associations, such as the Golden Globe Award from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the Golden Satellite Award from the Non-American Press Club of the Hollywood Reporters Association, the Golden Apple Award from the Hollywood Women Journalists Association, the National The NAACP Image Awards fall into this category.Although there are a hundred film awards in the United States, large and small, it is impossible to escape, but it is those few films that can really win the award.From the list of nominations for major award ceremonies announced so far, "Lord of the Rings 11" is obviously a big hit.
However, the Galaxy Film Group will not rest easy just because "Lord of the Rings 3" is a big hit. Are there still few examples of big hits going down the drain in Hollywood history?In addition to the continuous release of positive news about "Lord of the Rings 3" in major media and major TV networks, newspapers and periodicals that cooperate with these awards ceremonies place paid advertisements or special features.Hollywood has never been fair. Don't look at how these awards claim to be fair. In fact, if they don't place advertisements on their cooperative media... Although advertising cannot ultimately determine whether they win the award, the impression on the judges will be much better.Under the planning of a professional public relations company, the crew of "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" and the distributor of Galaxy Film Group have entered the "canvassing" stage.The leading actors and main creators are naturally running around in the major shows, while the high-level executives appear at the major receptions, and the public relations personnel are busy sending exquisite but inexpensive gifts to the judges. If there are some important awards, then invite them to come to Palm Quan enjoys a weekend as it should be.
Stimulated by millions of public relations expenses, "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" kept winning prizes in major film critics' associations, and won awards from local and federal governments. For a while, the crew was full of various trophies.However, the most important milestone in front of us is the Golden Globe Awards. After all, the Golden Globe Awards are the wind vane of Oscars.Although "Lord of the Rings 3" performed well at the Golden Satellite Awards and Golden Apple Awards, whether it can get the favor of the Golden Globes still depends on finishing.Just as the Golden Globe Awards are the wind vane of the Oscars, the Golden Satellite Awards and the Golden Apple Awards are also the wind vanes of the Golden Globe Awards.And compared to the relationship between the Golden Globes and the Oscars, the Golden Satellite Awards are more closely related to the Golden Apple Awards and the Golden Globes.The organizer of the Golden Globe Awards is the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, while the organizers of the Golden Satellite Awards and the Golden Apple Awards are two clubs under the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, one is called the Non-American Press Club, and the other is called Women Journalists' Club. "The Lord of the Rings 3" has won the Golden Satellite Award and the Golden Apple Award for Best Picture and Best Director.Because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association does not have professional film practitioners, it is not qualified to select technical awards such as visual effects, but it seems that the nominations for non-technical awards are also very good.
In the end, "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" won four awards at the Golden Globe Awards for Best Film Score, Best Original Song, Best Director and Best Dramatic Film.The next day, the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the relevant nominations for the Oscars. Galaxy Pictures' "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" topped the list with 11 nominations, while Fox Films' "Rage to the Sea" topped the list with 10 nominations. Nominations followed.Many analysts believe that "The Raging Sea" will be the biggest enemy of "Lord of the Rings 3" at this year's Oscars.In addition to these two films, "Cold Mountain" produced by Disney's Miramax Pictures and Universal Pictures' "Top Gun" tied for third place with 7 nominations; while Warner Bros.' "Mystic River" Chosen finished fifth with six nominations.In addition to "The Lord of the Rings 6", Galaxy Pictures also received 3 nominations for "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl"."Finding Nemo," produced by Pixar Studios and produced by Galaxy Pictures' sister company Galaxy Animation, also has four nominations.Judging from the nomination situation, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences still gave Jed enough face.
On February 2004, 2, the 29th Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood.Since the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has shown such sincerity, Jed's response will not be less sincerity.First, the three giants of Sherman Entertainment Group were present, Chairman Jed Sherman, President Shannity and CEO John; followed by Galaxy Pictures Group President Stanley Jaffe, Galaxy Animation Group President Shirley Lansing And Mai Ruibo, CEO of Galaxy Home Entertainment, were also present.The high-level executives attended one after another, and naturally the creators and leading actors of the nominated "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" and "Finding Nemo" were also present.In addition to these people, some actors and celebrities who have good friends with the Galaxy also attended, which made the originally dim Oscar red carpet become star-studded.But what pleased the Oscar Organizing Committee the most was that Jade reciprocated the favor by letting his ATV International Channel and Asia Satellite TV Movie Channel broadcast live the Oscar awards ceremony simultaneously, and he also promised to arrange Hong Kong Asia TV during the prime time the next day. Carnival Channel, Singapore Chinese TV Entertainment Channel, Hunan Satellite TV International Channel, Zhongtian TV Entertainment Channel, SBS Video Channel and Tokyo TV Entertainment Channel will broadcast.The Oscar Organizing Committee can't help but be overjoyed that the Oscars can strongly cover the Asian audience this time.If he had known that giving Jed face could bring so many benefits, he would have lowered his face and begged Jed long ago.Seeing the unusually enthusiastic expression of the organizing committee, John felt amused.This time, Jed mobilized the Asia-Pacific Television Collaboration under his name to live broadcast and rebroadcast the Oscars in order to give Oscar some sweetness, and let them spend money to pay for the rebroadcasting in the future.Although the Oscar is an important award, it is by no means so important that TV stations in Asia need to broadcast live simultaneously.In the future, if the Oscar Organizing Committee wants to broadcast simultaneously in Asia, it will obediently provide advertising revenue, and then arrange some secondary channels to broadcast.
Since not only the production team of Galaxy Films was present this time, but even the top executives were present, the Oscar Organizing Committee specially arranged a large area for Galaxy Films.After such a huge group of people sat down, they looked extraordinarily imposing.When arranging the seats, Jed also asked Jia Fei to take the crew of "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" to sit outside, because it was convenient for them to get in and out to win awards.Speaking of this, Jed also specially comforted Wu Yusen, "Director Wu, you also know what Oscar likes. It is estimated that our pirates may not have much hope for trophies except for some money."
Wu Yusen has been in Hollywood for so many years, why is it unclear what Jed is talking about?Besides, at this age, I have long since lost interest in so-called trophies.If you have time to make those award-winning movies, it is better to make a few more commercial films to earn the director's dividend.There is a reason for every drink and peck, and Wu Yusen also wants to understand.
