Movie Master - Chapter 1058
The seventy-ninth Oscars has come to an end, and the entire Hollywood has changed.
“Fury Road” swept thousands of troops and harvested eleven statuettes, including the most important Best Picture, Best Director and Best Film Editing, and undoubtedly became the night’s winner with absolute dominance. The biggest winner, tied the historical records of “Titanic” and “Ben-Hur”, and shared the title with the most awards in Oscar history with eleven trophies. A cult movie, a new chapter in the history of indie cinema—this is the core reason why “Fury Road” deserves more awards than the other two works.
Regardless of whether it is the perfect execution of the technical department or the strong performance of the core department, one can clearly feel the deep influence of this film on the academy, Hollywood, the film industry, and even the entire American society.
The impetuousness and apprehension throughout the turbulent awards season once made people think that “Fury Road” will be completely buried, and may even be reduced to a “mediocre” commercial movie, and any other contender seems to have More advantages, but the result proves that classic works will still shine brightly after all. This work does not need to wait like “2001: A Space Odyssey”, nor does it need to wait like “Once Upon a Time in America”, waiting for the precipitation of time to make people feel its excellence and greatness.
The 6,000 judges of the college, in the confrontation between the conservative forces and the new generation forces, followed the inevitability of the trend of development, and let the new generation forces have the last laugh. This is not a close victory, but a hearty victory. The great victory of the Chinese Communist Party, the compromises and concessions of the conservative forces can clearly feel the brand of the times—historical changes led by the Internet have quietly become an inseparable part of life.
Apart from “Fury Road”, it is almost difficult for other works to form effective resistance. “Little Miss Sunshine” and “An Inconvenient Truth” each received two statuettes, followed closely by a highly acclaimed Black humor independent film, one is a documentary that reflects society’s concerns about environmental pollution and the greenhouse effect. Both works have a distinct brand of the times, and once again reflect the earth-shaking changes of this year’s Oscars from the side.
Eleven years ago, “Fargo” was released; eight years ago, “Magnolia” was released; six years ago, “Mulholland Drive” was released; two years ago, “Brokeback Mountain” was released. These independent films, noir films, realistic films, and social films have won acclaim from the critics. They are even enough to go down in the history books and become classics in film history. They have also successfully won some nominations for awards, including Oscars, but After all, it is difficult to go further. This unique and sharp artistic creation method seems to be always difficult to be elegant, and cannot be more affirmed by Oscar, who is a mainstream authority.
But now, everything has changed. Maybe the film industry won’t be completely turned upside down, but what is certain is that change has inevitably spread like an unstoppable virus. It’s reminiscent of the viral video before Fury Road hit theaters.
Compared with “Fury Road”, “Little Miss Sunshine”, and “An Inconvenient Truth”, other works have suffered heavy losses. Works such as “The Departed”, “Babel”, and “The Queen” all only gained one piece each. It’s just trophies, among which the most outstanding performance is no different from “Queen”. A best actress trophy can be said to be the essence of the entire awards season, and considering that Chaos Films put all its public relations efforts on “Fury Road”, Such a performance of “Queen” is also acceptable.
“Eavesdropping” won the Best Foreign Language Film Award, which is outstanding, but “Letters from Iwo Jima”, “Pan’s Labyrinth”, “Scandal Chronicle”, “Blood Diamond” and other works all returned empty-handed, and the performance is really unsatisfactory .
But who cares? This is an Oscar that belongs to “Fury Road”, this is the year that belongs to “Fury Road”, this is a grand event that belongs to writing history, and other works are no longer important. Although cruel, this is reality. Compared with the failure of the work, the fiasco of the film company is the focus of the real heated discussion.
Warner Bros. has a huge momentum before the awards season. Works such as “The Departed”, “Letters from Iwo Jima”, “Blood Diamond”, “Flags of Our Fathers”, “Fatal Magic”, and “The Magician” are all produced by them. The works have received a lot of praise in various fields and parts, which also caused Warner Bros. to fall into the trouble of happiness. In the end, these works received a total of 19 Oscar nominations, leading the major film companies strongly. However, in the end, Warner Bros. only got one of the best adapted screenplays. The low conversion rate is rare, and it ushered in a mighty failure.
After the fiasco of the summer file, the award season once again encountered sniper attacks. Warner Bros.’s 2006 was really bruised. Not only did they lose the title of the year-end total box office champion for three consecutive years, but they also slipped directly from the champion position to the fourth place, and even lost to Twentieth Century Fox Films, the 21 films in the year only contribute one billion in North American box office, the performance is really appalling, and the market share has dropped from 15% last year to 9%. Nine, the decline is so obvious that it is impossible to look directly at it – even the face-saving awards season is almost naked, and Barry Meyer has indeed experienced a torture on earth.
Paramount is undoubtedly another big loser. The two works of “Babel” and “Dream Girl” jointly won them 15 Oscar nominations, and finally won a statuette for best original soundtrack.
Of course, from an investment point of view, the cost of the two works is very low. The former is 25 million and the latter is 70 million. It can be exchanged for a statuette, which is not a loss for Paramount. It’s a pity that the two works seem to lack stamina. Whether it is the quality of the works or the public relations of the college, people feel the decline, especially the empty-handed and ignoring of “Dream Girl”, which makes Paramount Heartbroken.
What’s more, Paramount’s current situation is really bad. In the year-end box office rankings of the six major film companies, as the deputy squad leader, it only beats Universal Pictures. Paramount launched 16 works in 2006, and the box office in North America was 950 million. This is better than the 810 million achievements of Universal Pictures in exchange for 17 works, but it is not good. Where to go. A mere “Road of Fury” is enough to crush them.
Considering that Universal Pictures holds the distribution rights of “Invincible Hulk”, Brad Gray’s first year in office is like sitting on pins and needles. The only consolation for Brad is that “An Inconvenient Truth” also came from Paramount.
Among the six major film companies, Sony Pictures rose strongly and won the year-end box office championship in 2006, followed by Disney, and 20th Century Fox took the third place. However, judging from the Oscars, 20th Century Fox is the biggest winner. Both “The Last Dictatorship” and “Little Miss Sunshine” came from Fox Searchlight. The three statuettes are already the biggest gains among the six major film companies this year. .
There is a gap only if there is a comparison. Chaos Films only released two works in 2006, “Fury Road” and “Queen”, but they have reaped incredible results. Not only swept the Oscars, won twelve statuettes, far ahead of the six major film companies, and became the biggest winner of this year’s awards season; The identity of the player.
The final North American box office of “Queen” is 60 million, and the global box office is 130 million. The Oscar effect is extremely significant. For a work with an investment of only one million US dollars, the income ratio even exceeds that of “Fruit Candy”; “Fury Road” needless to say, has become the champion of Shinco’s North American film history and the runner-up of Shinco’s global box office. In the end, Chaos Pictures earned 670 million in the North American box office, with a market share of 7.8%, ranking seventh on the year-end overall list.
Although it failed to beat the six major film companies, on the list, Paramount, which produced the least number of films, also has 16 works, while Chaos Pictures only used two works to reach such a high level, and the income ratio is excellent Enough to drive people and a company crazy.
To be sure, this is just the beginning. The current Chaos Films, from the movie box office to the award ceremony, has launched an all-round impact, and all major film companies can clearly feel the threat from Chaos Films. For Chaos Films in 2006, it was definitely a big victory, which can be seen as another hint of the change of Hollywood—DreamWorks is gone, Chaos Films is here.
However, when the Oscars ended, the news media was more excited about the rise of Lance.
This is an Oscar for Lance. No one should forget that Lance’s name is impressively written in the producer column of “Queen”. In other words, Lance dominated the 79th Oscar by himself. This may be a bit exaggerated, but it is true~www.mtlnovel.com~Look at Lance’s honor book, a best actor Supporting actor trophies, two trophies for best screenplay, one trophy for best foreign language film, one trophy for best director, and one trophy for best film. From actor to screenwriter, from director to producer, Lance has become the first in Oscar history. Someone who can win awards across four different divisions, no one has ever been able to do that, not any four divisions, let alone four core divisions.
Don’t forget, Lance is not yet thirty-five years old this year, only thirty-four years and one hundred and nineteen days old, second only to Norman-Taurog (Norman-Taurog) as the film history winner of the Directors Guild of America The second-youngest director with the best Oscar double. Judging from the past few years, Lance’s creative talent is still showing a state of rising steadily, and has not reached its peak at all. People cannot predict his future, but they can foresee that they are witnessing the birth of a film master , an epoch-making master!
Looking back at the selection of “Forbes”, “People” and “Times” at this time, it seems that everything has been foreshadowed. In an instant, praises from all over the United States and even the world are pouring in like a tide!
