Chapter 993： Years of obsession

Entering January, all Oscar competitors have revealed their true faces. In addition to a few top productions, commercial films in 2006 lacked powerful works, and award-winning films during the awards season were no exception.

Relativistic entertainment is not difficult to analyze the biggest competitors of "Infinite Walker".

"Tong Tian Pagoda", "Letter from Iwo Jima" and "Father's Banner", these can be regarded as "Infinite Walkers" in the Oscars more powerful competitors.

For films like "Little Girl in the Sunshine" and "Queen", it is not difficult for people with a discerning eye to see that these two films are basically not competitive in the best director and best film.

Compared to the award seasons of the past few years, the competition this year is really much weaker.

The best director is competing with Martin Scorsese, except for Clint Eastwood, who just won the best director last year, no one else has any advantage at all.

In terms of film, "Inferior Walker" went from word of mouth to box office to fame, throwing out three streets from its competitors.

Therefore, the upright public relations strategy developed by Embassy Pictures is suitable for "Infinite Walkers".

Since the beginning of 2007, "Infinite Walker" has almost passed the outpost awards.

At the Golden Globe Awards in mid-January, "Infernal Walker" won four awards, namely Best Director, Best Actor, Best Feature Film and Best Screenplay.

In the face of a group of competitors whose strength is obviously weaker than that, "Infinite Walker" is simply a direct crush.

At the subsequent Screen Actors Guild Awards, Tom Cruise easily won the best film actor with "The Infinite Walker", and Jessica Chastain also unexpectedly won the best film supporting actress.

The latter is a complete surprise, because although Embassy Pictures declared Jessica Chastain for the best supporting actress award, it did not do any publicity and public relations specifically for her.

It can only be said that Jessica Chastain has taken advantage of the weakness of competitors and the advantages of "Infinite Walker".

Directors’ Guild Award was announced and Martin Scorsese was elected as the best film director without any suspense.

The 　　 Producer League Award also announced the results. Relativity Entertainment was also a big winner. "Infernal Walker" won the best film, and "The Incredibles" of its Pixar studio won the best animation film laurel.

At the Screenwriters Guild Award, which is much less influential than the three major union awards, "Infinite Walker" successfully won the best adapted screenplay.

As we all know, the various Film Critics Association Awards, Independent Film Awards, and Golden Globe Awards are more about improving the exposure rate. It is okay to say that it is a sentinel award, but it is a misnomer of the Oscar wind vane.

The four major trade union awards can be said to be a real Oscar vane. There is a degree of overlap of more than 90% between the judges and the Oscar judges. The final results of the past awards have a degree of overlap of more than 95%.

As soon as the results of the four major trade union awards came out, the suspense of the Oscars ceremony was reduced by more than half, and the upset may be even smaller.

In the past two decades, the four major trade union awards have been promoted horizontally, and without exception, the Oscar award ceremony has been horizontally promoted.

With the corresponding awards of the four major union awards in hand, "Walking Without Part" has become the veritable number one hot spot for this year's Oscars. Even most media believe that this gangster film may have won multiple awards at the Oscar.

There are three reasons for this situation, frankly.

First of all, Martin Scorsese has accumulated years of qualifications and prestige, and he has returned to his best gang theme in time; secondly, the publicity and public relations of Relativity Entertainment; finally, the competitors are really weaker.

This awards season will not let "Infernal Walker" become the number one favorite, so who is more qualified?

"Tower of Babel"? "Letter from Iwo Jima"? "The Banner of the Fathers" of the diehard rightist thinking? Or a comedy like "Little Sunshine"?

The situation is very obvious. These competitors are really weak.

After the four major trade union awards, while maintaining the Oscar research efforts, Embassy Pictures began a new year's release plan.

The film released in 2007 by Relativity Entertainment, led by Brother Bao.

Embassy Pictures held the premiere of "Life and Death" in Los Angeles before the arrival of late January.

This film, as early as the first half of last year, Uvi-Bauer completed all the shooting and production, because of the schedule, it has been scheduled until January this year.

As always, the premiere of Bao Ge's film is not large. Except for the main creators of the crew, most of the participants are the friends Bao Ge has made in recent years.

Besides, I'm the fans of Brother Bao.

Since Bao Ge became famous on the ring, a large number of iron fans began to appear. Later, Bao Ge opened Netflix to share and became an Internet celebrity director.

It doesn’t matter whether the film is made or not, the fans of Brother Bao just want to have fun.

In this regard, Brother Bao’s movies have always been very selling points.

Ronan also participated in the premiere. Last time he did not go to the premiere of "Draculaline". Since he was in Los Angeles this time, he did not refuse Uvi Bauer's invitation.

Watching Uvi-Bauer walk across the red carpet, enjoying the treatment of fans on both sides like popular celebrities, Ronan can only say that Brother Bao can still be popular for at least three years.

Three years later, three years later, maybe the old will grow stronger.

Entering the theater, Uvi-Bauer immediately came next to Ronan. Ronan smiled and said, "The fans are very enthusiastic and they love you very much."

Uvi-Bauer touched his bald forehead and said, "I didn't expect it to be so popular."

Ronan couldn't help laughing, and said, "Uvi, this is the treatment you deserve."

Uvi-Bauer laughed happily, shaking his face with a smile.

Ronan turned to ask, "How was the filming of "Vampire Lincoln"?"

"The filming will be finished next month." Uvi-Bauer said quickly: "Ronan, I can finish all the production of this film in the first half of the year."

Ronan understood what Uvi Bauer meant and said: "In the second half of the year, or the first half of next year, Embassy Pictures will definitely be able to put "Vampire Lincoln" into theaters."

Compared to other films in the past, Uvi-Bauer pays more attention to "Vampire Lincoln". This is the first time he has stepped out of the category of game adaptation movies.

Although he still used a part of the video game style to shoot "Vampire Lincoln".

Facing the serious and responsible Uvi Bauer, it is difficult for anyone to feel disgusted.

Ronan has always trusted Bao Ge's abilities. In addition to being a director, Bao Ge is definitely synonymous with reliability in other aspects.

Suddenly, Uvi-Bauerla came to a bald middle-aged man, introduced: "Ronan, this is Frank Pierce, one of the founders of Blizzard Entertainment, currently serving as the CEO of Blizzard Entertainment."

Then, he introduced: "Frank, this is Ronan, my boss."

Frank Pierce shook hands with Ronan quickly: "Mr. Anderson, it's my honor to know you."

Ronan replied politely: "It is a pleasure to meet you. I am a big fan of your company's World of Warcraft."

Frank Pierce showed some surprise on his face: "This is the honor of the entire Blizzard Entertainment."

Ronan’s words were of course polite. Uvi-Bauer gave him a Blizzard test number, but he just played a little bit and threw it to the housekeeper Nikia. Nikia has been there for the past two years. Playing "World of Warcraft" is said to be the president of a top trade union.

Since normal work has never been delayed, Ronan has not interfered either.

Ronan said: "Your company's "World of Warcraft" has an epic storyline. Have you ever considered adapting a movie?"

"I thought about it." Frank Pierce told the truth: "But the company has always felt that the timing is not yet ripe."

Ronan glanced at Uvi Bauer curiously. If Uvi Bauer can invite Frank Pierce, isn’t it the result of years of obsession?

He decided to push: "Frank, Uvi has always liked Blizzard's games, and he is also one of the best game adaptation directors in Hollywood and even the world. I personally suggest that your company can consider allowing Uvi to adapt "World of Warcraft". Movie version."

Frank Pierce didn’t know how to answer the call. Uvi Bauer ran Blizzard every day for years. Although he did not impress Blizzard Entertainment to hand over the game adaptation rights to him, many of Blizzard Entertainment’s top executives were in agreement with Uvi -Bauer knew him well and even became a friend.

Uvi-Bauer looked at Ronan, only feeling that he was following the right person.

Many years of obsessive love, hard pursuits are not available, but Ronan has never given up support for himself.

Is it not enough to pay?

Ronan said: "Your company should really think about it. Looking at the world's film industry, it is difficult for you to find a better film director for game adaptation than Uwe."

This is really telling the truth, and it is also recognized by Hollywood Except for Paul Anderson, looking at the global film industry, game adaptation is a film genre, and there is no second commercial score comparable to Uvi-Bao. The director.

Frank Pierce said with a smile: "This is not something I can be absolutely sure of. I'll wait until the company makes a decision."

Hearing this, Uvi-Bauer's face inevitably appeared disappointed.

Frank Pierce hurriedly went elsewhere, for fear of talking about Uvi Bauer's adaptation of "World of Warcraft".

Ronan patted Uvi-Bauer on the shoulder, and said: "There are some things, hard pursuit may not lead to good results."

"Hey..." Uvi-Bauer could only sigh long.

Ronan didn't want to hit Uvi Bauer, so he didn't say more.

Because in some ways, the relationship between Uvi-Bauer and Blizzard is like an alternative version of licking a dog and a goddess. No matter how hard you lick, the goddess won't look at it, and you may lick it to nothing.

It’s hard for outsiders to say anything about this kind of thing.

Ronan has drawn a lot of lessons from Heath Ledger. It is better to say less about some things. If you say it to others, you may not appreciate it, but may have a worse effect.

Brother Bao is a talent he values, so he can do it well if he wants to. The goddess Blizzard might have a day of falling into the dust.
