Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

The fact that Jade and Galaxy Movies don’t talk about Oscars doesn’t mean that other media don’t talk about Oscars. Don’t look at Variety, which is not happy with Jed, but adhering to the characteristics of the American media’s “one black country and two black organizations”, this time “Variety Show” especially sees The cover feature is Galaxy Movie Mingbuping.In fact, anyone in the film industry knows that Oscars are actually the same as various Chinese special film awards, that is, pork is distributed during the Chinese New Year, and whoever is famous gets more.But at any rate, Oscar usually pays attention to food and appearance, and must maintain the image of an "outsider expert" no matter what, but this time the Oscar organizing committee obviously went too far.

Although the full name of the Oscars is the American Academy of Motion Picture Sciences and Arts Awards, the American Academy of Motion Picture Sciences and Arts is actually just the organizing committee of the Oscars, and it is the various professional organizations related to movies in Hollywood that are actually responsible for the selection.For example, the Best Director is in charge of the Directors Union; the Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay are in charge of the Screenwriters Union; the Best Actor and Actress and Best Supporting Actor and Actor are jointly responsible for selection by the Screen Actors Union and the Casting Directors Union... In other words, the Oscar Organizing Committee cannot interfere with the evaluation of each award.

Of course, in some occasions, the organizing committee can have appropriate influence, but it is still rare to directly interfere with the voting of professional trade union associations like this year.The important thing is, let's just interfere, and the final result of the interference is actually "worshiping foreigners"!This makes it impossible for the American media and the public to accept it. You must know that the United States has always been a country with split personalities. The elites of their country have always had a special love for Europe (especially the United Kingdom), while their public has always been for Europe. Do not catch a cold.The film with the most awards at the Oscars this time turned out to be a British biographical romance film. On the contrary, historical films about our United States have to compete with Italian films. What's the matter?

And for many sci-fi fans, the thrilling scene of "Peerless Cataclysm" actually lost to a lingering love movie in the award of best visual effects, which is obviously tailor-made for yourself, which is tolerable or unbearable!Most viewers think that the balance of this year's Oscars has gone too far, especially when Tom Hanks missed the best actor Oscar, Hanks fans scolded in public forums, "The Oscars are just trying to prevent someone from winning the best actor three times." That's all!"

In the midst of all the turmoil, the sci-fi film "The Matrix", co-produced by Warner Bros. and Galaxy Films, directed by the Wachowski Brothers and distributed by Galaxy Films, was officially released on March 1999, 3.In the movie, the Wachowski brothers planned an extremely dark future for mankind. Human beings lost to the robots they created by themselves in the war against robots.What makes human beings even more ashamed is that human beings have been deprived of the right to exist as a living creature and have been completely reduced to "batteries" for robots.In this extremely tragic future world, humans have machines for mass cultivation, and the value of human existence is to provide electricity for machines.

Fortunately, in this future world with little hope, there are still a small group of human beings who are fighting for the future of mankind.Among the free humans, there is an outstanding leader named Morpheus, who firmly believes that Leo is the savior of the entire human race.But at this time, Leo was just a mediocre and timid programmer in a computer software company, until he met Murphys and was arrested by machine agents at the same time.

Wachowski built a horrible future for everyone, do you really think you live in a real world?When this question was raised in the movie, all moviegoers felt a chill in their hearts.The Wachowski brothers are indeed very famous science fiction screenwriters. Their stories are dark but logical, and people have to sink into the horror world they constructed.

In the box office of the first weekend, "The Matrix" beat the new love movie "Ten Things I Hate About You" and the comedy movie "My Husband is on a Business Trip" with a box office score of 3 million.When Warner Bros. saw this box office result, they suddenly realized that they had lost a cash cow.You must know that Warner Bros. handed over the copyright of "The Matrix" and the right to shoot the sequel to Galaxy Films, and they can only share part of the box office in the first film according to the proportion of investment.Moreover, this box office is limited to the North American box office, and the international box office, TV broadcasts, and DVD and video publishing profits all belong to Galaxy Films, which made the boss of Warner Bros. immediately feel like vomiting blood.But I also signed the contract, and I begged others to sign it with a shameless face, so where is it my turn to go back on my word?

More importantly, Warner Bros.' parent company, Warner Group, will not fall out with Galaxy because of this. After all, Warner Music Group and New Generation Records have a very deep cooperative relationship.New Generation Records is only responsible for the record contract and performance brokerage, and the US and international distribution rights of the record are owned by Warner Music Group.Jessica Simpson’s performance last year has made Warner Music Group feel like it’s a treasure, and this year’s upcoming Britney Spears and Christina are said to be more powerful than Simpson. What about New Generation Records breaking up?Therefore, in addition to receiving severe criticism from the boss of the group, the CEO of Warner Bros. was also required to maintain a friendly relationship with Galaxy Movies!

On the weekend of the second week, "The Matrix" continued last week's box office myth, ranking first at the weekend box office with a box office of 25 million US dollars, while Fox Films' romantic comedy "One Kiss" could only come in second.In the third week, although "The Matrix" was pulled down by Universal Films' comedy film "Life", the box office gap between the two films was only 1 million US dollars. Many people think that "The Matrix" is very likely to counterattack next week .

Sure enough, "The Matrix" encountered a lack of new films on the weekend of the fourth week and successfully counterattacked "Life", winning the weekend championship again with 13 million box office.It wasn't until the 14th week that "The Matrix" dropped from the top ten weekend box office champions, but at this time "The Matrix" had accumulated 1.75 million box office in the United States, far exceeding its production cost of 63 million yuan.

So many film critics have affirmed the fact, "Warner Brothers thought they were smart enough to lose a money-losing product, but they didn't expect that what they lost might be the most profitable sci-fi movie in Hollywood history. We have to admit that Galaxy Movie's What makes them so powerful is not only that the films they shoot are enough to make Hollywood proud, but also that their vision of selecting films for distribution is no less than that of senior American film companies!"

However, when the entertainment media praised Galaxy Films for its unique vision, they also asked "Where is Jed going?"Because many media have dug up the news that Jed lost a bet and had to shoot a bad script provided by Michael Bay.According to the screenwriters union, they admitted that Michael Bay did buy out a "a bit bad" script here.They declined to disclose the original author's name or the content of the script, but they said that Mr. Jed Sherman did register another script earlier this year.They compared the content of the two scripts and said that there is a little connection but there is no problem of plagiarism or excessive reference.

"All I can say is that the script that Mr. Michael Bay bought out provided an inspiration for Mr. Jed Sherman's script, so we can't say that Mr. Sherman plagiarized," said an executive at the Writers Guild, who did not want to be named. Or borrowed too much from that script. But Mr. Sherman very graciously thanked the original author on the first page of the script, but I can't disclose the name. If I were the original author, I probably wouldn't because of Mr. Sherman's Glad to be grateful."

Although the Screenwriters Union did not disclose the type of the script, the omnipotent entertainment reporters still dug out the type of film Jed directed this time. It turned out to be the psychological horror film that Jed was famous for back then, and it was a pure horror film.Although Jed is known as the founding master of psychological horror films, he has not shot a pure psychological horror film.He only used psychological horror renderings in some of his horror movies and thriller movies, so many horror movie lovers have expressed "extreme interest" in this upcoming horror movie, and this movie is temporarily named " The movie "The Sixth Sense of Ghosts" climbed to the first place in the 1999 most anticipated new movie list of the Rotten Tomatoes movie website in one fell swoop.

You must know that in the production plan announced by Galaxy Films this year, apart from "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" directed by Jed Sherman, there are only two animated films.Many observers have analyzed that the reason for the large-scale production reduction of Galaxy Movies is probably to demonstrate to Oscar, saying that without Galaxy Movies, Hollywood will lose many excellent movies.This statement was naturally scoffed by Jed, because he didn't have a filming plan, but he turned most of his work energy to TV.With the announcement of high-definition TV labels and the emergence of practical high-definition cameras, the TV industry is already facing a new round of reform.

Most importantly, over-the-air broadcasts will not be the only form of the national television network.Many TV companies have seen the possibility of using cable TV and satellite TV to build national TV stations, including lifetime, bravo and other famous national cable TV stations that have been established one after another, which has brought greater pressure to the competition in the US TV market.At the same time, Dongfeng Broadcasting Company under the name of Jade was also quietly and formally established. Its subsidiary is cbn (Chinese Broadcasting Network). Currently, programs are mainly broadcast in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Hokkien, Hakka and other minority language channels. In addition to using traditional wireless broadcasting for national coverage, cbn also uses cable TV and satellite TV to cover the entire United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.The ulterior motive is that Jed is experimenting with iptv technology, and he wants to firmly grasp this future TV broadcasting technology in his hands.

Jed saw the classic script for The West Wing from Aaron Sorkin, and he has ordered that he do his best to line up the film.At the same time, Jed also provided a script idea and a reality show idea. The script is "Crime Scene Investigation", which created the highest ratings of American crime dramas; and the reality show is "Survivor".Jade intends to sell both of these TV programs to CBS. You must know that Dongfeng TV has already cooperated with the other three TV networks except CBS.

After CW (Colombia Warner Television Network) is established in the future, Jade plans to package and sell "America's Next Top Model" and "Project Runway" and related derivative programs to CW.Anyway, because of CW's focus on fashion, it once had the title of "gaytv", and Jade didn't mind promoting them early.
