Chapter 1315: Earn money and awards

"Junuo" released in December is a drama itself.

Disney didn't expect much from it, but because it was a movie made by the boss himself, they tried their best to win more than 1,600 screens.

Unexpectedly, "Junuo" got a good reputation from the moment it was released.

Especially among young people, there has been a wave of movie watching.

They all think this girl named Juno is so cool.

Not only did she dare to be pregnant at this age, but she was also born with courage, unlike the ordinary girls.

Then Juno looked too beautiful, fully in line with the aesthetics of most men, especially young people.

Just through this movie, they were fascinated by this little girl named Sophie Marceau from France.

When they knew that Sophie Marceau was indeed only 16 years old this year, their worship and love for Sophie Marceau was even worse.

In the eyes of professional film critics and journalists, "Junuo" is also a good movie.

Not only did the subject matter of the shooting be bold, but also the shooting angles were completely different. The feeling that a girl was pregnant unexpectedly, yet brave to take responsibility, was fully displayed.

Westerners adore self, and especially like the sublimation of personality.

Putting down the butcher's knife and standing up to become a Buddha is the most suitable for the values ​​of Westerners.

Juno's courage to face all difficulties is very suitable for positive publicity.

Disney also bought a lot of critics' articles, and after such a period of publicity, word of mouth continued to ferment.

By the second week of the release, many parents brought their 15-18 year old children to watch this movie together and wanted them to learn something in the movie.

This is not to encourage girls to doubt, but to let them see how much hardship they would suffer if they did not take protective measures and did not have enough courage.

As a result, after Juno won the box office of 25 million in the first week, it actually rose a lot in the second week, breaking through the $ 30 million box office. The decline in the third week was not large, with 21 million box office.

So, when "Juneau" was released, at the box office of more than 100 million US dollars, that was no problem at all.

As "Juno" gradually weakened, the "Ghostbusters" of the United Arts movie was first released in North America.

The Christmas and New Year schedule is in itself in line with a film like Winter Ghostbusters.

In the first three days of the first weekend, it achieved a high opening score of US $ 50 million, and the audience liked it very much.

Everyone thinks this movie is really cool.

The infancy of those monsters can be shown in the movie, which has to marvel at the development of special effects technology.

The digital field company responsible for this movie special effect once again proved its leading strength in the industry.

Of course, this is also related to Yin Jun's unremitting investment.

When Yin Jun acquired the digital space two years ago, he promised to invest more than 10 million US dollars per year, but in fact Yin Jun invested more than this.

In addition, the special effects of Disney and Lianyi Film Company are all in the digital field, so with a lot of practical experience and a large amount of financial support, the development of the digital field is very rapid.

In January of 1981, they had only 75 staff.

But as of January of 1983, the total number of employees in the digital field has reached 280.

This number is more than industrial light and magic. In addition to being inferior to industrial light and magic in the computer field, the special effects of models and other aspects have long been the world's first.

Now Yin Jun has given them the two most important tasks.

The first is to make dinosaur-related models. Various dinosaurs and all sizes must be produced, in preparation for the "Jurassic Park" that Yin Jun will start shooting in a few years.

Yes.

Even after Spielberg's repeated chase, Yin Jun decided to shoot "Jurassic Park", not only because of copyright issues, but also because of this chance of fame, the teenager also wanted to own it.

And making such a big film is also one of the director's lifelong pursuits.

Yin Jun hopes that with "Jurassic Park", he will greatly improve his ability to direct.

Although it is destined to be very hard, how can a director be successful without such hardening?

Just like Card God, if he hadn't experienced the crazy shooting experience of "Titanic", how could he become Card God?

Had it not been forged by "Titanic", how could he make "Avatar"?

In the last life, Spielberg's version of "Jurassic Park" has no problems with the plot and structure. It is thrilling and very sharp. It is very addictive.

But if you look at it in 2020, the special effects of "Jurassic Park" are a bit unsatisfactory.

On the one hand is the lag of computer special effects technology, on the other hand is the immaturity of its own digital field.

Now Yin Jun has given the digital field a year or two, and the digital field is much more powerful than the previous life. Then the special effects technology, at least in the model section, is definitely a breakthrough.

If the current 3D technology is not mature, Yin Jun thinks that shooting a 3D version of "Jurassic Park" is a dazzling one.

Speaking of it, it is not that 3D technology is not mature enough. 3D technology is more mature than IMAX technology, but 3D technology is not so widely used. In commercial applications, 3D technology that has experienced many failures is now difficult to find. My own allies are even more miserable than IMAX.

IMAX giant screen technology is better. Over the past six months, with the popularity of "Terminator" and the blessing of the super cartoon "Lion King", there have been a lot of cinema liners contacting IMAX.

It's just that the cost of IMAX is too high, and there are too few movies made with IMAX, which will cause a lot of waste, so the negotiations have been stalemate.

The good news is not without it. Spielberg and George Lucas both took a fancy to the IMAX technology and felt that applying it to their new movies would be a great breakthrough, so they are both actively understanding the technology. , Ready to use at any time.

Yin Jun did not panic. He told IMAX that as long as he calmly develops and further improves the technical quality of IMAX, and further reduces the price of IMAX, then IMAX technology will naturally become the most popular shooting method in movie theaters.

The second project developed by Juvenile in the digital field is the liquid robot model of Terminator 2 and more important computer technology.

This item was stared by Cameron himself.

As a technical maniac who has not yet shown the essence, even if he is staring at his new movie, he will go to the digital field every few days to see the progress of the new technology he requests.

But engineers in the digital field did not hate Cameron.

Because many of them were originally Cameron ’s colleagues in Industrial Light and Magic, it was just that Cameron went to make movies, and they were cornered.

Cameron himself is a layman. There will never be a layman's command of a layman. They can also discuss new technologies with each other and discuss how to use them in practical problems.

With Cameron there, Yin Jun doesn't have to stare at it.

Even Yinjun was wondering, when he later developed 3D technology, did he also pull in Cameron by the way, give him a little share, and let him lead the advancement of 3D.

The 3D technology of the previous life is so widely used, thanks to Cameron's "Avatar".

What opened the way for Cameron's "Avatar" was Karum's 3D technology.

In order to promote the 3D technology, Cameron just ran the road show for more than a year, and it was convenient to promote the various benefits of the 3D technology in every place.

It is really not easy for a world-class big director to do this step.

...

The success of the movie box office is only one aspect of the success of the Kirin Group in North America.

Another aspect is reflected in the pursuit of awards, and the Kirin Group has also received a bumper harvest.

"The Lion King" was nominated for the best original music and the best soundtrack ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The Terminator won four nominations for the best visual effects, the best original script, the best movie editing and the best photography.

"Mother and Daughter" won the Best Film Award, Best Actress Award, Best Supporting Actor Award, Best Art Design Award, and Best Original Screenplay Award, and was also nominated for four items.

"Juno", which was released in December, also won three nominations for Best Original Screenplay Award, Best Actress Award, and Best Costume Design Award.

The one who won the most awards was "The Redemption of Shawshank", which was widely regarded by the public.

It has eight nominations for Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Photography, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Soundtrack, Best Makeup.

And among the four most important awards, apart from the fact that there is no heroine in the film at all, it has been nominated for Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor.

This is the biggest affirmation of a movie.

Hollywood is particularly optimistic about "The Redemption of Shawshank".

If it were n’t for the director of the film, Yin Jun, the lead actor was a little-known Xiangjiang, and I ’m afraid they would have used “the hope of the public” to evaluate “Shenchenke ’s Salvation”.

After careful calculation, the five films of the Kirin Group last year received 21 nominations in total, which is a miracle.

There are so many Hollywood companies, and Oscar awards generally favor the films of small independent production companies.

But now, your Kirin Group has occupied so much. Apart from lamenting that the strength of the Kirin Group is too amazing, what else can you say?

The remaining six giants in Hollywood are sour when they see this scene.

The films of Kirin Group can make money and win awards. From now on, it is really difficult to stop their development!
