Chapter 1077 The cowardice in front of me
Perhaps it was the Hollywood black leader who was black in Washington who was used to it. On the working day after the release of "Lincoln, the Vampire Slayer" was released, at the regular press conference of White House, the current commander of the other end also talked about the film and thought the movie was very exciting.
Just as the former commander talked to the parliamentarians about "House of Cards", the top and the bottom didn't care much about the spoof of this kind of film.
"Vampire Hunter Lincoln" has been in a very steady trend in North America, and it won the box office championship in its second weekend after its release in North America.
The film beat the $11.38 million of the first week of "Cyberkiller" with a box office of $14.68 million.
Ten days after the release, the North American box office of "Lincoln, the Vampire Slayer" easily exceeded $50 million.
Overseas, the film also received a good response, even surpassing North America. The dozens of markets released overseas have been released in a row, with a total output of 72.15 million US dollars in ten days.
Compared with the total investment of the film of $20 million, "Lincoln, the Vampire Slayer" can be regarded as a box office hit.
Inspired by this, Uvey Ball was very motivated. After completing the post-production of "The Witcher Washington", he immediately joined the preparations for "The Thunder Magician Franklin".
The series has already had a very outstanding start. As long as two or three movies succeed, a joint effect will be formed.
Uvi Ball no longer works as a licking dog for Blizzard Entertainment, stays away from "World of Warcraft", completely abandons his identity as a spare tire, and devotes all his energy to this series of movies.
I don’t know if it was a strange mentality, but I haven’t seen Wuwei Ball visit the door for half a year. Blizzard Entertainment actually contacted him and asked Brother Bao to go to Blizzard for more than he had nothing to do.
In this world, many people and many things are often lost and only when they know how to cherish them.
Unfortunately, Brother Bao has no time and energy to deal with Blizzard in a short period of time.
Because of the sentence "human beings will never be slaves", Ronan also took the time to watch "World of Warcraft", and the Lich King was just angry.
The awards season continues, and one of the weird awards has announced the nomination list.
On the nomination list for the Golden Raspberry Award, Brother Bao once again occupies multiple positions, and has won the nomination for the worst director and worst film with last year's "Fight of Life and Death".
In addition, "Transformers" is also a nominee. Candice Swanepole was nominated for the worst actress, while Optimus Prime and Megatron were nominated for the worst male lead and the worst male supporting role.
As a super big player in the Hollywood Circle, Relativity Entertainment has been a super big winner in every Golden Plum Award in recent years.
What is amazing is that Relativity Entertainment has also been a super winner in the Oscars in recent years, and has won the Best Picture Little Golden Man for three consecutive years.
Relativity Entertainment's key award-winning project this year is "Slumdog Millionaire", and the main goal of the impact is still the best film.
In terms of best directors, Danny Boyle does not have the upper hand compared to the Coen brothers.
At the Real Oscar Wind Vane Union Award, "The Slums Millionaire" won the Best Picture Award from the Producers League, but the Best Director Award from the Directors Union fell into the hands of the Coen brothers.
The professional public relations team of Embassy Films also conducted an analysis and believed that this year's Oscars may have a super cake split.
Although the screenwriter strike continues, the awards season is still ongoing, especially the School of Film Arts and Sciences. It is impossible for the Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences to smash the Oscars because of the strike.
In late January, the Film Academy announced the list of nominations for this year's Oscars.
Due to the screenwriter's strike, the usual Oscar nomination luncheon was cancelled and changed to a press conference, and Jessica Alba, who served as the guest, read out the nomination list.
Relativity Entertainment has three films nominated.
Pixar Studios' "Rat King" won the best animated feature film nomination.
Since there are only three nominations for Best Animation Feature Awards, the Academy obviously does not want this award to become a civil war for relativity entertainment. The other two nominations are occupied by "Surfing Penguin" and "I Grown Up in Iran" with a strong political sense.
"Sunshine Girl" won the best makeup, best original script, best actress and best photography nomination.
"The Millionaire in the Slums" became one of the biggest winners on the nomination list, winning seven nominations: Best Soundtrack, Best Soundtrack, Best Editing, Best Photography, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director and Best Picture.
Among all the nominated awards, the one that is the best animated feature film of "Ratat King", which is basically no suspense.
The awards for "Sunshine Girl" are purely based on luck.
"The Slums Millionaire" is the first guarantee of the best film.
With the announcement of the Oscar nomination list, I have a sense of concern that it will begin to appear widely inside and outside the circle. Due to the general strike of screenwriters, will this Oscar ceremony be held smoothly?
The screenwriter union publicly declared that if the strike continues, all its members will attend the Oscars and will not write lines and words for the Oscars.
Time slowly dragged into February, and there was no progress in the negotiations, and the patience in all aspects was almost exhausted.
Especially the film school, it can be described as being anxious and getting angry. It acts as a middleman several times and wants to prompt the screenwriter's union and producer alliance to reach an agreement as soon as possible.
But things involving interests are not that simple.
From the strike to mid-February, Hollywood producers lost more than $300 million on books, and the wage losses of all members of the screenwriter union combined were as high as $28 million.
The screenwriter union, which accounts for the vast majority of ordinary screenwriters, can no longer hold on. If the screenwriter union did not provide part of the subsidies, many of them would even have a basic life.
Life is not only poetry and far away, but also the arduous thing in front of you.
If a person has no ideals, what is the difference between it and salted fish? But if you only see ideals, you can't even eat salted fish.
If the strike continues, many screenwriters really can't even eat hamburgers.
The voice of this film is gradually reflected within the screenwriter's union. Although the single person has a low voice, many people are united together and cannot be ignored.
Some people have even started private activities and are considering making money after work.
Those famous screenwriters do have a lot of say, but without extensive screenwriter support, they cannot compete with the producer alliance at all.
Moreover, the producers have made some concessions again.
As mid-February approached, negotiations between the Producers League and the Screenwriters Union finally made progress, giving people hope for the end of the strike in a short period of time.
But the upper-level figures of the Screenwriter Union still did not give up that idea. The Screenwriter Union at least had to receive the treatment of the Actors Union.
This is the biggest difference between the two sides.
Screenwriters believe that they are the key to film and television projects, but producers only regard them as secondary factors.
Due to various conditions, the Producers Alliance finally reached an agreement with the Screenwriters Union, but it was only a three-year temporary agreement.
The most important part of this temporary agreement is that the screenwriters union has increased its fixed share of movies, dramas and reality shows.
For example, the various TV copyright income originally enjoyed increased from one percent of the issuer's global income to one-point two percent.
The focus is on DVD and new media benefits required by the screenwriter union.
Finally, in the temporary agreement, the signed screenwriters of the Screenwriters Union enjoy a profit share of one percent of the global revenue of the production and distribution party.
This is a big improvement over the producers' league's previously proposed releaser earnings by one-5 percent.
In addition, when each movie enters the DVD channel, the producer will pay the screenwriter a total of US$20,000 in DVD script fees.
As for peripheral derivatives, as before, the screenwriter union does not have any share of the rights.
The Screenwriters Association then held a membership vote, unanimously agreeing to stop the protracted strike tug-of-war with only 283 votes against it.
In a society of various overdraft consumption, it is very rare for ordinary screenwriters to last for such a long time.
The signing of this three-year temporary agreement also means that the screenwriter's strike has come to an end.
The screenwriter union sent an email to each member, calling on everyone to resume work immediately.
"The strike is over, tomorrow, the screenwriters will be in their own positions and everything will return to normal."
The screenwriter union also held a press conference: "The strike is not what we expect, we are just trying to get a reasonable commission in the income from new media dramas. Now, the results we have achieved are enough to gain a foothold in this digital age."
The producers have paid a certain amount of benefits. Although the screenwriters union has not reached the initial demand, the results of the negotiations have already been satisfied by most people.
For decades, the nature of the work of screenwriters has not changed, just picking up a pen to create, but the ways and platforms for disseminating their works are changing all the time. If videotapes were a new type of rising communication force twenty years ago, then now they are DVDs and new online media.
It is obviously impossible if the writers refuse to change their way of paying just because their working methods have not changed.
Hollywood producers, including Ronan and Relativity Entertainment, are well aware of this.
"This is the best treatment we have received in thirty years." Many screenwriters said in interviews.
Although the screenwriters got a share of the profits of DVDs and online new media as they wished, the statement of "best treatment" is more like a long breath after the tug-of-war.
This three-year temporary contract is at best a psychological bottom line price for both parties. The screenwriter union cannot change its relatively low position in the industrial chain, and the strength of the producer alliance cannot change with the strike.
It is foreseeable that in the future, screenwriters will strike due to the benefits and status issues in the industrial chain.
Having said that, labor-management conflicts can never be completely resolved unless all Hollywood unions become beautiful mascots.
