The next day.

That is, the day after the 73rd Academy Awards, the front page headlines of the American entertainment news media were of course the big winners of this year's Academy Awards.

The three movies "Gladiator", "Drug Network" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" occupy 13 Oscars.

Almost all traffic is attracted!

Look, the theater company made a statement immediately.

After all, it's all money!

The movie "Gladiator" was released across the United States on May 5, 2000. After 8 months, it has been removed from theaters. At the same time, the DVD of "Gladiator" was actually launched in November 2000.

But...what now?

With its title of Best Picture at the 73rd Academy, it was once again pushed to theaters and won 670 theaters for screenings.

DreamWorks Film, the filmmaker, said: "Winning the 73rd Academy Best Picture not only won honors, but also brought huge financial benefits. It was quite easy for the Gladiator to add another tens of millions of dollars in North America."

Universal Pictures, the distributor of the film: "North America box office, box office in various countries and regions overseas, including offline DVD and video tape sales, will surely usher in a wave of growth. This is the economic value brought by the Oscars!"

This is the case with the movie "Gladiator", and the movie "Drug Network" is not much!

On December 27, 2000, the movie "Drug Network" officially landed in major theaters across the United States. As of now, it has achieved a total of US$112 million in North America box office results, and there are less than 220 theaters left in North America.

But what about the day after the Oscars?

720 theaters released!

That’s right, the number of theaters released soared by 500!

Many of the companies in the same industry are almost out of their way.

"I'm jealous, but I can't do anything about it!"

"Who said no? The "Drug Network" movie won the 73rd Academy Award for Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Movie Editing, Best Adapted Movie Screenplay, and a total of 4 awards."

"The theater company responded quickly enough and adjusted the screening as soon as possible, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

Jealousy and jealousy are worthless in the face of the traffic brought by the Oscars!

When facing the media interview, the head of Amc Entertainment, one of the three major theater chains in the United States, said: "It is foreseeable that the North American box office of "Drug Network" will increase by another $800, which is completely fine."

box office?

The box office increase is certain.

The other related interests of the film will also increase a lot.

The huge economic benefits brought by the Oscars are the core reason why Oscars have always been sought after by many film companies!

The number of theaters released by the films "Gladiator" and "Drug Network" has surged, and the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" which is also a big winner of this year's Oscars, is not to be outdone.

As of the eve of the Oscars, the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in North America has reached $93 million, becoming the most popular "foreign language film" in American film history.

Kevin Feige made a statement at the first time: "The first foreign language film in American film history with a box office of over 100 million is about to be born, and it is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!"

With the traffic that comes with the Oscars, reports from various media, and the promotion of Wald Film, which integrates the producer and publisher, the box office growth of the film is inevitable.

[The first foreign language film in American film history with a box office of over 100 million yuan!]

This gimmick alone is enough to attract a large number of American audiences to enter the cinema.

at the same time.

The California Entertainment News and the Los Angeles Entertainment News, two media newspapers, which are influential in the entertainment field across the United States, have spared no effort and almost flatteringly launched large reports with the support of financial sponsorship provided by Wald Pictures.

The only contents of the key reports are Zhuke himself and the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Best Picture Oscar: Gladiator;

Best Director of Oscars: "Drug Network";

These two movies are just mentioned!

"Red Stanley, the owner of the California Entertainment News, and Andre, editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Entertainment News, was shameless on the red carpet yesterday, but now it seems that I still seriously underestimated their offline line!"

The Global Times invited Miyang Andréqi, editor-in-chief of the sector, and said to himself with great contempt.

In fact, my fellow media members are very envious.

Let’s go to the media’s moral integrity!

"What are moral integrity and down-line counts? Don't forget, we are just entertainment media." Andre, editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Entertainment News Agency, was complacent.

.........

After a week.

The movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that won 4 Oscars finally broke the cumulative box office of North America at 2 pm today.

The first foreign language film in American film history with a box office of over 100 million yuan was born since then.

"Boss, thanks to the Oscars' gimmick, the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" not only achieved great results in the North American market, but also saw significant counter-increase in the box office in overseas markets such as Europe, Asia, and Australia in recent years."

"According to our predictions, when "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is offline, the global cumulative box office will not be less than US$200 million."

“The production cost of $15 million, the film promotion cost of $17 million, and the Oscars operation cost of $11 million.”

"The total cost does not exceed $50 million in total, and it will be exchanged for a global box office of less than $200 million."

"I have to say that the benefits of this movie are far beyond our imagination!"

Kevin Feige, the president of Wald Pictures, reported to Zucker while being filled with joy.

There is no way, the results are brilliant!

Smack sex~

Zhuke applauded and said, "It's a good job. The movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" brought by director Ang Lee makes us make money, so we can't treat him badly, at least in terms of director's pay and movie box office share, we can't default on it."

"Don't worry, in terms of economic issues, our Wald Pictures has a well-known reputation." Kevin Feige said.

Speaking of this topic, Zucker couldn't help but think of Shea, the boss of New Line Films.

Shay, that's famously stingy.

The completion of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy has caused a lot of disgust between Xinyi Film and Director Peter Jackson, as the producer. Just after several years of going to court, it has made Xinyi Film and its reputation worse.

On the one hand, Zhu Ke regards wealth as his life, but on the other hand, he pays great attention to credibility and integrity.

In the next time ~

Zhuke and Kevin Feige talked about TV movies and agency contracts for teenage actors aged 12 to 20.

"I have established the youth performing arts department under Wald Pictures and have carried out the first phase of recruitment training in California and other places."

"It is expected that in another 3 to 5 days, the first phase of enrollment will be completed."

"For the next 3 to 6 months, systematic training will be carried out for these teenage actors, mainly in terms of acting skills. At the same time, we will also package them into one teenage group idol after another."

"The TV movie "Singing and Dance" is ready to go."

"As long as they perform well, they may also be able to act!"

Kevin Feige talked freely, and plans blurted out from his mouth.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk ~"

Zhuke couldn't help but say: "Packaged as a teenage idol? Disney makes a lot of money from minors every year because of this."

Zhuke is still very jealous of Disney's profits in this regard.

"I wonder if there are any future demons I am familiar with in this list of young actors whom I am familiar with in this first issue?" Zhu Ke thought to himself.
Chapter completed!
