Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 1993: Making Money Is Easy To Win

Wind and Rain Empire State Building, New York, Feng Yu's office, a group of people are celebrating.

“Congratulations, Cameron, the Golden Globe Award is known as Oscar's Wind Sign, and it looks like you're going to take the Oscar Goldman!” Schmitz, CEO of MGM Film, said.

“This is also to thank you for your vision, for investing so much in me and for your full support for my work, and, of course, Mr. Feng is the most appreciative. ”

Cameron also felt he was going to take Oscar's best director, with a face of spring ~ wind pride. His Avatar was great, both in the box office and in the reputation, and even the box office set a record that broke the history of his own Titanic.

Such a box office could afford to invest as much as Feng Yu gave him.

Three sequels are expected in the future, with a total investment likely to exceed $1 billion. The first investment alone shocked many people, but Feng Yu didn't hesitate to give it. Taking into account the cost of the promotion, it exceeded $300 million. But compared to the return on the box office, it's really overwhelming.

“James, on Oscar, you have a strong enemy, your ex-wife, Catherine Bigelow. You should pay attention to her side, because that's likely to get cold. ”

The Bomb Squad is another film that promotes the values of the United States, or that shooting is similar to a documentary, boring. The movie box office is over $20 million, and global, it can't compare to Avatar a day, and the money won't even come back.

Cameron looked disdainful: "Mr. Feng, that movie didn't even look at her head, see what she was shooting. Would anyone like to go to the cinema to see something like a documentary? And there are lots of loopholes in there, which make the director look very amateur. And look at how many millions of people are fighting back, and her picture is simply a mistake. ”

Kirilenko nodded wildly: "Yes, that's just a fabricated story, a shame cloth for their war. ”

Kirilenko is looking at Cameron more and more smoothly. I didn't expect this Native American to be so disgusted with the US practice. If it were in Russia, whoever he did it with, he would be 100% supportive. The patriotism of the US people is too bad!

“James, don't you understand that Oscar prefers feature films? Science fiction has never been popular, that's the law. This was borne out by the loss of Star Wars and the loss of ET. And the biggest reason to stop you from winning the prize is that you are a signed director of MGM, which is released by MGM and sets the record of the box office! ”

Cameron thought about it and realized what Feng Yu meant. The smile on his face slowly disappeared.

Kirilenko's a fog. What are you two talking about? He grabbed Feng Yu: “Feng, what are you talking about? Isn't MGM the best movie company in the world? The box office is the highest, but you can't get the prize? James wants to replicate the wreck miracle. ”

Feng Yu put down the champagne: “Ki, think about it. Since I bought Mei Gao Mei, Mei has dominated the movie box office in the country for years, even the world box office. ”

“How long did it take to see Mei Gao Mei go bankrupt in my hands and now not only have his debts been paid off, but he's officially profitable and he's got tens of billions of dollars in assets? ”

“We went from countdown to positive to fast. What would other movie companies think? Were we robbing them of their interests? ”

“And among those who voted for Oscar, there were too many college pies, and there were the big movie companies, who would want to see James win the prize? Or see Avatar win? ”

“Our wind is too strong and the opposite is absolutely true. And James has a big disadvantage that his ex-wife is a woman, and no female director has ever been awarded such an honor. Many of those who voted probably wanted to see this, so Catherine was considered the first choice. ”

“Looking at the recent media in the United States, promoting feminist rights, which was also promoted by Obama. So the highest recognition of a female director, isn't that just proof that in the US, the status of women is very high! ”

“If Avatar had many fatal injuries, such as an actor who could almost be described as artificial, would the actors with the most voting rights join forces to boycott it? ”

Just as the docks in the US are unable to implement all digital machinery, it is the dock workers who feel they will be unemployed. Now this movie is the same, you don't need actors at all, and you don't need big players, so how do they make money?

Other films are the biggest spending on actors' films, followed by advertising and distribution expenses, followed by props and other things. That's all the actors get when they get here? So what kind of big star are they trying to run? Learn to be a director.

“And on top of the Oscar campaign, many films will be presented to voters on CD-ROMs to give them a deeper experience, which is exactly what we can't do. ”

First of all, Avatar is still on the video website, and when it comes out, it's a huge loss, and Bomb Squad doesn't care, because they can't sell their discs.

And then there's the 2D disc, which completely fails to show the charm of Avatar, and even the 3D is weaker, and IMAX is the best visualizer.

You give a 3D disc, and you give it with the corresponding 3D glasses, and this is not allowed because it's a bit pricey and is suspected of unfair competition.

“Finally, this voting system is not fair enough and coincidental. The winner of the highest single-round vote may put Avatar at a disadvantage, especially if there are any problems in it that you have no idea. ”

In previous generations, people had questioned voting mechanisms and even thought that voting was false, but it was useless and would not change the outcome of the award.

A lot of people may think that the Avatar award is certain, so I voted for my second favorite movie and it shouldn't affect the outcome, but eventually it's likely that there will be a cold win.

Kirilenko frowned: "Von, can't you get James to win the award? ”

He felt that if Cameron's ex-wife was allowed to defeat Cameron and win the prize, the blow to Cameron would be too great. Moreover, Cameron was opposed to the war waged by the United States, which made Cameron look extraordinarily impressive.

Feng Yu thought, “Very difficult. ”

“Is there a way? If Avatar wins, it will certainly bring us more profit!” Kirilenko is also one of the investors, and he attaches great importance to this, or he is very enthusiastic about making money.

Cameron also looked forward to seeing Feng Yu: “Mr. Feng, what are you talking about? ”
