rising director

"The publishers shouted, Wan Xiaohu is invincible!"

A big win at home, and the North American main battlefield is not bad.

During the three-day weekend from October 10th to 19st, two new films were released in North America. . Kloss.

At that time, "Smart: Ghost Story", with an ultra-low cost of 1.1 yuan, set off a wild wave at the box office. The hype was a documentary, not a movie. It made a lot of money for the publisher Paramount by promoting the pseudo-documentary title. less money.However, the subsequent two sequels were lackluster and did not achieve good results.

Paramount hopes to rely on "Spirit: Ghost Story 4" to make a comeback.

"Spiritual: Ghost Story 4" did not live up to Paramount's expectations. It won 2900 million US dollars in three days over the weekend, and it is expected that the box office in North America will exceed 5000 million.But the other "Alex Cross" was miserable, only getting 1139 million US dollars.

"Hotel Transylvania," which opened in its fourth week, performed well, earning $1300 million. "Taken 2" was so-so, earning US$1310 million, and "Escape from Tehran", supported by word-of-mouth, did not decline much, still earning US$1645 million.

The champion still belongs to "Gravity", which earned US$3323 million in a single week and won three consecutive championships. The box office fell by 30%, which shows that the stamina is very strong.So far, seventeen days after its release, the North American box office has accumulated a total of 1.8 million US dollars.

"Tger, this year Sasha Entertainment will focus all its public relations on "Gravity" hitting the Oscars, so you can wait for it. We can't miss any technical awards. The best film and best director used to be the same as science fiction films. It doesn't matter. But this time, maybe we can rewrite history!"

Wan Xiaohu is busy supervising the post-production of "Frozen", while Adam Ferguson, the boss of Sasha Entertainment, is busy with this year's Olympic journey.

"I don't worry about your work." Wan Xiaohu laughed, very satisfied with Ferguson's attitude.

He has been making movies for 12 years, and he has not won many awards, and the Oscar is the one he has been longing for for a long time.As a science fiction film, "Gravity" has inherent shortcomings.That is Oscar discrimination against science fiction films.But it depends on man's efforts, "Gravity" is impeccable in terms of technological innovation, creativity and connotation.

If the public relations are done well, the possibility of winning the prize is very high.

Oscar-winning films have never been a pure competition for the gold content of the film, but a series of backstage competitions.You want to win a prize.You have to work hard on public relations, thousands of Oscar judges, all have to take care of it.Judges are human beings too, and will be influenced by their emotions.

With two similar movies, whoever has a close relationship with him will naturally favor him.

To build a close relationship.Then the only thing to do is to give benefits and do public relations.

"Gravity" is destined to bring fame and fortune to Wan Xiaohu.

Time has entered the fourth week, "Gravity" continued to win the championship in mainland China with 10230 million yuan, with a total box office of 87330 million yuan, surpassing the 8.21 million box office set by "Kung Fu Panda".It became Wan Xiaohu's highest-grossing film in China.

And it will continue to hit new heights.

From October 10th to 26th in North America, four new movies will be released on a large scale.One is "Silent Hill 28", the sequel to the game-adapted horror film "Silent Hill".The other is "The Matrix" director Wachowski Brothers, oh wrong, now they are the Wachowski brothers and sisters, the movie "Cloud Atlas" of the same name based on the science fiction masterpiece directed by them.

There are two left, one is the comedy "Crazy Halloween", and the biographical film "Surfer Man".It is worth mentioning that the "Chain Saw" series, which is released every Halloween, did not continue this year, because it has reached the tenth part, and the screenwriter really can't come up with new content.

Fortunately, after the acquisition of Lionsgate, which specializes in heavy-duty horror films, there is no need to worry that Sasha Entertainment will not be supported by horror films.

Experts predict this week that both "Silent Hill 2" and "Cloud Atlas" are eligible to win the championship. "Silent Hill 2" is backed by the fans of the first film and game fans. Although "Cloud Atlas" was not very well received by film critics during the screening period, it is not that weak for the name of the Wachowskis. .

As a result, after three days of fighting, glasses were shattered all over the place.

"Surfer Man" only got 226 million US dollars, not squeezed into the top ten. "Crazy Halloween" is a difficult brother, and the US$410 million also did not make it into the top ten. "Silent Hill 2" received a lot of criticism, and only got 802 million US dollars, which was a mess on the street."Cloud Atlas" directed by Dashen, had a box office of 961 million US dollars in the first weekend, which was not much better.

"Escape from Tehran", which was released in the third week, also received 1208 million US dollars, ranking second.

"Gravity", which had already given up hope of consecutive championships, saw so many people giving way, so it was natural to take the fourth week championship with 2114 million US dollars.

The North American total box office broke through to 2.1 million US dollars, and the global total box office was 7.24 million US dollars.

……

In the fifth week, in mainland China, "Gravity" won the fifth consecutive championship with 4840 million yuan, with a total box office of 92170 million yuan.In its fifth weekend in North America, it finally handed over the champion, earning US$1305 million and a total box office of US$2.31 million.Worldwide it reached $7.78 million.

In the first week, "Gravity" also handed over the box office champion in mainland China, with a single week of 1350 million yuan, a sharp drop in film schedule, and only continued to be shown in some 3D and IMAX theaters.

Since then, most of the ticket warehouses around the world have begun to shrink, and the draws have gradually begun.

Only in North America, because of the start of public relations for the Olympics, the calls for "Gravity" to enter the Oscars are getting louder and louder. The film has never been released and has been shown in theaters.There are not many shows, but enough to ensure that the influence will continue until next year's Oscars.

When the last film of "Gravity" in North America ended on February 2013, 2, the entire road to the box office came to an end.

US$3.02 million in North America, ranking first in the annual box office list.Mainland China stopped at 9.45 million yuan, ranking third in the annual box office list.$8.71 million worldwide.No. [-] on the annual global box office list.

With a global box office of 8.71 million US dollars and rave reviews, "Gravity" won 85 nominations at the 10th Oscar and became a favorite for awards.

In fact, the winning journey of "Gravity" is far more than an Oscar.

Before the Oscar nomination, the most important Golden Globe Award also awarded the best director to Wan Xiaohu.

This made Wan Xiaohu the most popular director in the awards season from 2012 to 2013.

The major media have listed Wan Xiaohu as the number one candidate for the best director in the 85th Oscar, and there are four competitors competing with him. Michael Hanick, the director of "Love", and David O. Russell, the director of "Lifeliness Behind the Clouds". Ben Zeitlin, director of Beasts of the Southern Wild, and Steven Spielberg, director of Lincoln.

Whether it is Michael Hannick, David O. Russell, or Ben Zeitlin, they are all much less famous than Spielberg and Wan Xiaohu.When it comes to the popularity of this year's nominated works, it is also significantly lower than "Lincoln" and "Gravity".Especially "Gravity", which has a good reputation at the box office.
