Nine Hundred and Ninetieth Chapters Years of Crazy Love

Entering January, all Oscar competitors have revealed their true colors. Except for a few top-level productions, commercial films in 2006 lacked powerful works, and the award-winning films in the awards season are no exception.

It is not difficult for Relativity Entertainment to analyze who the biggest competitors of "The Departed Walker" are.

"Babel", "Letters from Iwo Jima" and "Flags of Our Fathers", these can be regarded as the more powerful competitors of "The Departed Walker" at the Oscars.

For films like "Little Miss Sunshine" and "The Queen", it is not difficult for a discerning person to see that these two films are basically not competitive in terms of best director and best picture.

Compared with the award seasons of the past few years, this year's competition is really much weaker.

Competing with Martin Scorsese for the best director, except for Clint Eastwood who just won the best director last year, no one else has any advantage at all.

In terms of films, "The Departed" surpassed its competitors by three blocks from word of mouth to box office to fame.

Therefore, the dignified public relations strategy formulated by the Embassy Pictures is perfect for "The Departed".

Since entering 2007, "The Departed Walker" has almost passed the outpost awards.

At the Golden Globes in mid-January, "The Departed" won four awards, namely Best Director, Best Actor, Best Drama and Best Screenplay.

Facing a group of competitors who were obviously weaker than others, "The Departed Walker" simply crushed them directly.

At the subsequent Screen Actors Guild Awards, Tom Cruise easily won Best Actor in a Movie with "The Departed", and Jessica Chastain unexpectedly won Best Supporting Actress in a Movie.

The latter is completely a surprise, because although the Embassy Films declared Jessica Chastain a number of Best Supporting Actress awards, it did not do any publicity for her.

It can only be said that Jessica Chastain took advantage of the weak competitors and the advantages of "The Departed Walker".

The Directors Guild Awards were then announced, and Martin Scorsese was elected the best film director without any suspense.

The Producers Union Awards also announced the results. Relativity Entertainment was also a big winner. "The Departed" won the best picture, and "The Incredibles" of its Pixar studio won the crown of the best animated film.

At the Screenwriters Guild Awards, which are much less influential than the three major union awards, "The Departed" successfully won the Best Adapted Screenplay.

As we all know, the various Film Critics Association Awards, Independent Film Awards, and Golden Globe Awards are more about increasing exposure. It is fine to say that it is a Sentinel Award, but it is not true to say that it is an Oscar vane.

The four major trade union awards can be said to be the true benchmarks of the Oscars. There is an overlap of more than 90% between the award judges and the Oscar judges, and the overlap of the final award results in the past is even more than 95%.

As soon as the results of the four major labor union awards came out, the suspense of the Oscar ceremony was reduced by more than half, and the possibility of upset was even smaller.

In the past two decades, the films that promoted the four major trade union awards, without exception, also promoted the Oscars.

With the corresponding awards of the four major labor union awards, "The Departed" has become the number one favorite of this year's Oscars, and even most of the media and public opinion believe that,

This gangster flick could be a multi-award hit at the Oscars.

To have such a situation, frankly speaking, it is caused by three reasons.

First of all, Martin Scorsese's accumulated qualifications and reputation over the years returned to the gangster theme he is best at in time; secondly, Relativity Entertainment invested heavily in public relations; finally, the competitors are really weaker.

This awards season, if "The Departed" does not become the number one hit, who is more qualified?

"Tower of Babel"? Letters from Iwo Jima? The "Flags of Our Fathers" of the die-hard right? Or a comedy like "Little Miss Sunshine"?

The situation is very obvious, the strength of these competitors is really weak.

After the four major labor union awards, Embassy Pictures has started a new year's release and release plan while maintaining its efforts to tackle the Oscars.

Relativity Entertainment's film released in 2007, with Bao Ge as the lead.

Embassy Pictures held the Los Angeles premiere of "Life or Death" ahead of late January.

As early as the first half of last year, Uwe Ball completed all the filming and production of this film. Because of the schedule, it has been scheduled until January of this year.

As in the past, the premiere of Bao Ge's film was not large. Apart from the main creators of the crew, most of the participants were friends that Bao Ge had met in recent years.

In addition, it is Baoge's fans.

Since Brother Bao became famous in the boxing ring, a large number of fans began to appear. Later, Brother Bao opened Netflix to share and became an Internet celebrity director.

It doesn't matter whether the film is good or not, Brother Bao's fans just want to make it lively and fun.

In this regard, Brother Bao's movies have always been very popular.

Ronan also attended the premiere. Last time he didn't go to the premiere of "Vampire Lane". Since he was in Los Angeles this time, he didn't refuse Uwe Ball's invitation.

Watching Uwe Ball walk through the red carpet, enjoying the treatment of fans on both sides like popular stars, Ronan can only say that Brother Bao can still be popular for at least three years.

Three years later and another three years, maybe he will grow old and strong.

Entering the theater, Uwe Ball immediately came to Ronan, Ronan said with a smile: "The fans are very enthusiastic, they love you very much."

Uwe Ball touched his increasingly bald forehead and said, "I didn't expect it to be so popular."

Ronan couldn't help laughing, and said, "Uwe, this is the treatment you deserve."

Uwe Ball laughed so hard that his whole face was shaking.

Ronan turned to ask, "How's the filming of 'Vampire Lincoln' going?"

"The filming will be finished next month." Uwe Ball said quickly, "Ronan, I can complete all the production of this film in the first half of the year."

Ronan understood what Uwe Ball meant, and said, "In the second half of the year, or the first half of next year, Embassy Pictures will definitely push "Vampire Lincoln" into theaters."

Compared with other films in the past, Uwe Ball pays more attention to "Vampire Lincoln". This is the first time he has stepped out of the category of game adaptation movies.

Although he still used some video game breakout style to shoot "Vampire Lincoln".

Facing the serious and responsible Uwe Ball, it is difficult for anyone to feel disgusted.

Ronan has always trusted Bao Ge's ability. Apart from being a director, Bao Ge is absolutely synonymous with reliability in other aspects.

Suddenly, a balding middle-aged man came from Uwe Paula and introduced him: "Ronan, this is Frank Pierce, one of the founders of Blizzard Entertainment, and currently serves as the executive president of Blizzard Entertainment."

Then, he introduced: "Frank, this is Ronan, my boss."

Frank Pierce quickly shook hands with Ronan: "Mr. Anderson, it is my honor to meet you."

Ronan replied politely: "It's a pleasure meeting you. I'm a loyal fan of your company's World of Warcraft."

Frank Pierce showed a bit of surprise on his face: "This is an honor for the entire Blizzard Entertainment."

What Ronan said was of course polite. At the beginning, Uwe Ball gave him a Blizzard test account, but he only played with it for a while, and then threw it to the housekeeper Nikia, but Nikia has been using it for two years. Playing "World of Warcraft", it is said that he is still the president of a top union.

Since normal work was never delayed, neither did Ronan.

Ronan said: "The plot of your company's "World of Warcraft" is epic. Haven't you considered adapting it to a movie?"

"I have considered it." Frank Pierce said truthfully: "But the company has always felt that the time is not ripe."

Ronan looked at Uwe Ball curiously. Uwe Ball could invite Frank Pierce, isn't it the result of years of infatuation?

He decided to give it a push: "Frank, Uwe has always liked Blizzard's games, and he is one of the best game adaptation directors in Hollywood and even in the world. I personally suggest that your company can definitely consider letting Uwe adapt "World of Warcraft"." Movie version."

Frank Pierce didn't know how to respond. Uwe Ball has been running Blizzard for several years. Although Blizzard Entertainment did not impress Blizzard Entertainment to give him the right to adapt the game, many senior executives of Blizzard Entertainment have cooperated with Uwe Ball. -Bauer got acquainted and even became friends.

Uwe Ball looked at Ronan and felt that he was following the right person.

Years of obsessive love, hard pursuit but not available, Ronan never gave up his support for him.

Could it be that you didn't pay enough?

Ronan added: "Your company should really think about it. Looking at the film industry all over the world, it's hard to find a better game-adapted film director than Uwe."

This is really telling the truth, and it is also recognized by Hollywood. Except for Paul Anderson, looking at the global film industry, in the genre of game adaptations, there is no second director whose commercial achievements are comparable to Uwe Ball.

Frank Pierce said with a smile: "It's not something I can say alone, let's wait until the company makes a decision."

Hearing this, Uwe Ball inevitably showed disappointment on his face.

Frank Pierce hurried off elsewhere for fear of talking about Uwe Ball's World of Warcraft adaptation.

Ronan patted Uwe Ball on the shoulder and said, "For some things, hard pursuit may not necessarily lead to good results."

"Hey..." Uwe Ball could only let out a long sigh.

Ronan didn't want to hit Uwe Ball, so he didn't say any more.

Because in some respects, the relationship between Uwe Ball and Blizzard is like an alternative version of dog licking and goddess. No matter how diligent the licking is, the goddess will not even look at it, and there may be nothing left after licking.

It's hard for outsiders to say anything about this kind of thing, and it's too wrong to say it.

Ronan has drawn a lot of lessons from Heath Ledger. It is better to say less about some things. Others may not appreciate it, but it may have a worse effect.

Brother Bao is a talent he valued, and he can do whatever he wants. The goddess Blizzard may also fall into the dust one day.
