Los Angeles.

The 46th Golden Globe Awards ceremony held on January 28th became a joke in the eyes of many people.

Although there are no clear regulations, in the long-established practice, film awards are usually nominated for five awards.

However, this year's Golden Globe Award completely freed itself.

Seven nominations for the best film in the drama category; six nominations for the best director; six nominations for the best supporting actor; six nominations for the best original song in the technical category.

The Golden Globe awards in the movie category were not comprehensive in Oscars, and there were four unconventional nominations at one time, making the Golden Globe Awards organizers who have been criticized for various scandals all these years seem even more unprofessional.

If a series of unconventional nominations are only ridiculed, the general results of the awards will completely make the Golden Globe Award a target of mass media attacks.

Double yellow eggs in movie awards are not uncommon. The competition between the two films of equal strength is too fierce. The judges will score the awards, and sometimes it will become a beautiful talk.

But, three yellow eggs, have you seen it?

Five nominations and three awards. How does this affect the other two?

This situation happened at this Golden Globe.

Counting the TV awards, there were two'three yellow eggs' and three'double yellow eggs' at the 46th Golden Globe Awards.When Sigourney Weaver, Judy Foster and Shirley McLean, who won the best actress in the drama category, stood on the podium together, the audience was awkward in the live camera.

Then a series of three-yellow eggs and double-yellow eggs flowed in one after another, and everyone was embarrassed and numb.

Moreover, the results of the awards are completely unconvincing.

The best film in the drama category was awarded to the biographical film "Fog Lock Crisis" starring Signey Weaver. "Death Poetry Society" regrets losing. The organizer of the Golden Globe Awards has long clarified that "Rainman" has not declared this year's Awards, this is justified.

"Fog Lock" is indeed an excellent movie.

However, the best film in the musical comedy category was awarded to "Working Girl", which surprised everyone.

At the initial nomination stage, the nomination of this new work "Working Girl" by the former "Graduate" and "Spiritual Desire" has caused some controversy.Both "Graduate" and "Spiritual Desire" are classics, but "Working Girl", which clearly followed suit on the commercial warfare film of "Wall Street" last year, is very mediocre, and the nomination is completely unworthy of the name.

Compared to "Wall Street", which is highly professional and never obscure, "Working Girl" only tells a very old-fashioned career story.

Clerk Tessie (Melanie Griffiths) provided a business plan for the female boss Catherine (Sigourney Weaver). Catherine apparently claimed that the plan was invalid, in fact, she wanted to dominate the idea.Tessie accidentally discovered the truth, impersonated her boss to directly contact the target company, and met the other company's executive Jack (Harrison Ford).Tessie and Jack sparked, and with Jack's help, Tessie was promoted and Catherine was expelled.

the above.

"Wall Street" has a professional business confrontation, has a fierce cheating, and has the "greedgood" of Gordon Gecko who shows the greed nature of capital.As for "Working Girl", it is probably only Mike Nichols who was awarded the Oscar's best director's qualification with "Graduate" twenty years ago.

The other four films nominated during the same period, except Universal's "Midnight Run", which is not well-known for color, other "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", "A Fish Named Wanda", and "Flying Over the Future" are obviously better than "Working Girl" is excellent.What's more, there are "When Harry Meets Sally" and "Steel Magnolia" produced by Daenerys Entertainment. These two films are obviously also qualified for the best film in the musical comedy category, but they have not even been nominated. Got it.

In the face of strong controversy, the organizers of the Golden Globe Awards could only explain publicly that "When Harry Meets Sally" also did not declare a nomination.

Barabara.

Daenerys Entertainment did not return empty-handed at the Golden Globe Awards, where some people were obviously strenuous in public relations. The best director of "Death Poetry Club" and the best supporting actress in "Steel Magnolia" have reached He was not dissatisfied with Simon's expectations.

In Simon's view, film awards that can be manipulated are good awards.If it is too fair, it will be very troublesome.

Of course, this indifferent attitude certainly cannot be shown.

Not only that, in order to put pressure on the upcoming Oscar, Daenerys Entertainment also launched a public opinion offensive at the right time, for the company’s films that suffered unfair treatment at the Golden Globe Awards.

This strategy is usually very effective.

Just like in the original time and space, because there were no black people on the Oscars in a certain year, some people jumped out and shouted, so the next year immediately gave a best film of the whole black production team, all directors and actors awards were nominated Black people have also appeared, and a few small gold men have been taken away, and the proportion is staggering.

Immediately after that, on February 1, Wednesday.

Nominations for the 61st Academy Awards were officially announced.

"Rainman" produced by Daenerys Entertainment won 8 nominations for Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor.

Moreover, the names of Simon himself appeared in these eight nominations, and the nomination award was the best soundtrack.Because he could not find Hans Zimmer, after taking over the latter part of "Rainman", Simon personally completed the soundtrack of the film with reference to the version in memory.

"Death Poetry Club" also won two nominations for Best Director and Best Actor.

In order to avoid competition with Rain Man, Daenerys Entertainment voluntarily gave up the application for the best film of "Death Poetry Society", but another application for the best original script was not shortlisted.

In addition, the company also submitted three nominations for Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress for Steel Magnolia, but only Julia Roberts received the best supporting actress nomination, and the other two nominations also failed .

Calculated, Daenerys Entertainment won a total of 11 nominations in the upcoming Oscars.

Such achievements are not conspicuous. Warner obtained a total of six films through "Dangerous Relationships", "Unexpected Passengers", "Fog Locks", "Rookie Parker", "Beetle Juice", and "Nothing Done". 19 nominations.

However, with the exception of Sandra’s “Dangerous Relations” featuring 7 nominations, the rest of the films received were basically non-core nominations.

On the other hand, because Orion still focuses on "Mississippi is burning", the "Vulgar" whose copyright is in the hands of the other party has only been nominated for a best actor by John Travolta, than Golden Ball. The award is short of a script award nomination.

As the winner of Cannes Golden Palm last year, "Pulp" has no doubt about its word-of-mouth and box office.

After returning empty-handed at the Golden Globe Awards, Oscar ignored them, and many media couldn't help but blame the film.Because of the Oscar nomination this time, Mike Nicholson's "Working Girl" still has a lot of gains, a total of six nominations for best film and best director.

A film critic of Variety Magazine sharply criticized the Golden Globe Awards and Oscar host after the Oscar nomination was announced. They will have a "Rainman", "Vulgar", "Death Poetry Club", "Wanda" "Fish", "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", "When Harry Meets Sally" and many other super'big years' of superb movies are forced to be downgraded into a mediocre movie through their own insider awards. Little year'.

The film critic also unabashedly pointed the finger at the American Screenwriters Union.

It’s not difficult for attentive people to find that, in addition to the popular “Rainman”, Daenerys Entertainment’s “Death Poetry Society”, “Steel Magnolia”, “When Harry Meets Sally”, especially Simon’s “ Other movies such as "Vulgar" have not been nominated for script awards.

Simon Westero, as the best young screenwriter of the past eighties, has not even had a nomination for two consecutive years. This is a joke.

The judges of the Oscar Screenplay Awards are basically members of the American Screenwriter Union.

Daenerys Entertainment's popular reality show "Who Will Be a Millionaire" almost lost the strike of the screenwriters last year. Although the final strike was successfully settled, the agreement reached was also severely shrunk.

With such a profound contradiction, the screenwriters' union did not ignore "Rainman", but was already leaving room for itself.Other films under Daenerys Entertainment, such as "Vulgar", naturally do not expect any nominations.

Of course, as the strength of Daenerys Entertainment further increases, the conflict between the two parties will gradually be resolved.

In the final analysis, the relationship between the screenwriter and the film company is always the employee and the boss.Regarding one's own job, whether or not one wishes, most of the time people must choose to forget or pretend to forget, and then compromise.

The turmoil in the Japanese financial market has not affected the operation of Daenerys Entertainment.

After the Oscar nomination was announced, Elado Ichman began the final stage of sprint PR.

At the same time, Daenerys Entertainment also released the first film of the new year on February 3, Catherine's second cinematic feature film "The Blue Sky Ambassador".

Compared with the blockbuster films such as "Rainman" that is still steadily harvesting at the box office, the film critics of "The Thunderbolt and the Blue Sky" also have a good reputation, with an average of 7 points, but the box office is somewhat lackluster.In the first week of the release, "The Thunderbolt Blue Sky Ambassador" received only $3.81 million at the 1121 screens in North America, and the local box office is expected to be only about $8 million.

The final production cost of "Thunderbolt Blue Sky Envoy" is US$10 million, and the cost of announcement is about US$3.5 million.The $8 million North American box office, which includes other distribution revenue, is also doomed to a loss of millions of dollars.

Simon and Catherine have a special relationship, which is not a secret in the circle.

Therefore, Daenerys Entertainment did not care too much about the loss of this movie.Even, selling a whole year, and occasionally losing one or two, I feel pretty good.

The world cannot always be abnormal.

On February 17, after more than a month of financial audit, Daenerys Entertainment's 1988 financial report was finally released.

As of December 31, 1988, Daenerys Entertainment Group's total annual revenue reached US$708 million.

Because Daenerys Entertainment is still in the early stages of development, the company’s revenues are not divided into subtle divisions, and it is temporarily divided into three business segments: film, TV, and comics, and the film and television derivatives with small revenue The income is directly consolidated, and the expenditures such as office space purchase and private aircraft leasing are also treated in the same way.

Among the three major business segments.

The total revenue of the film business is 276 million US dollars, including the income of a series of films of Daenerys Films and the income of new world entertainment films such as theaters and video tapes.

Daenerys Entertainment invested a lot of money in film production, publicity and copyright procurement last year. Films such as "Rainman" and "Death Poetry Society" did not generate revenue for the company before December 31, 1988. The income of various films under New World Entertainment is also very meager.

Excluding various costs and tax expenditures, the net profit of Daenerys Entertainment’s movie business is only $67.72 million.

By comparison, the revenue of the TV business controlled by Robert Iger is as high as 361 million US dollars, of which the revenue contributed by "Who Will Be a Millionaire" reaches 196 million US dollars.Other reality TV shows such as "Survivor" and TV drama projects such as "Pure Age" left over from New World Entertainment have brought generous income.

Due to the extremely high profit margin of "Who Will Be a Millionaire", the net profit of the TV business unit is still as high as US$106.75 million, excluding all costs, from the US$361 million in revenue.

In the end, Westmont intended to require the separately-accounted Marvel Entertainment comics business, with annual revenue of US$71.32 million and net profit of US$5.26 million.

In fact, since 1975, Marvel has maintained a stable and profitable state under the care of Stan Lee and James Gold.

Although the North American comic industry has been shrinking in recent years, Marvel’s net profit margin of less than 10% has also appeared somewhat low, but if it was not for the bankruptcy and liquidation of Marvel’s parent company Candace Industrial Holdings Group in 1986, this comic company would not Easily sold.

So, all calculated, Daenerys Entertainment Group's full-year net profit in 1988 reached $23.873 million.

With a net profit of $23.873 million, not to mention Hollywood's second and third-tier film companies, even the seven major studios, only Warner, Paramount and Disney can compare with Daenerys Entertainment.Among them, Warner calculated the performance of the entire Warner Brothers company, not just Warner Bros. Pictures.

As for the rest, Columbia and MGM lost money last year. Only Universal’s "Dragon Brother" at the end of last year supported the film performance of the last two years. The profit of the entire mca group in 1988 was less than $200 million. Barry Diller The focus of the operation has always been on the expansion of the television network, and Fox Pictures only barely maintained it.

In fact, the current situation is not that the Hollywood studios are weak, mainly because Daenerys Entertainment's performance is too good.

Even if it expands to other fields in North America, according to Forbes' top 500 US companies' revenue and profit data, statistics have not yet been completed in 1988, but referring to 1987, Daenerys Entertainment’s profit of 238 million US dollars is enough to squeeze into The top 70 of the local top 500 list.

In this era, except for Ford Motor Co., General Electric and other few companies, the profit scale can reach 1 billion. More than 95% of the companies in the North American top 500 list have annual profit scales of less than 1 billion US dollars, and net profits exceed 1 There are only about 150 million dollars.

Therefore, when this financial data, which will definitely make too many people jealous, is released, several senior executives of Daenerys have unanimously decided to keep it as confidential as possible.

There have been various speculations about the profit scale of Daenerys Entertainment in 1988, and most of the media analysis is also very accurate.

However, like many well-known big and deep cabinets in Hollywood, as long as a star does not come out publicly, even if there are any traces to prove that he is gay, fans who are often reluctant to face reality are still happy to believe that this is not the case.

In the same way, as long as Daenerys Entertainment does not disclose detailed financial data, other Hollywood film companies will only subconsciously ignore this matter.
