Chapter 710: Golden Globe Awards
Jiang Hao is enjoying life, Connor and Robert are not as good as him, and the whole company is very busy, working hard for Jiang Hao, a capitalist.
Negotiate, negotiate, renegotiate,
Three days later, the publisher was finally chosen, and it was still Warner.
After the two sides signed the agreement, Warner immediately took action, there was only a week left until Christmas Eve, time waited for no one, advertisements were overwhelming, TV, newspapers, posters, the theme was "Watch "Wars 2: Home Alone", and spend a happy Christmas Eve with your family. ”
Christmas Eve,
Jiang Hao drove Monroe wearing a gauze skirt to a movie theater in Miami, where "Wars 2" will be released tonight, Warner's distribution is very strong, and he is also very optimistic about this movie, which will be released directly in 800 theaters across North America, and it is said that it is ready to increase to more than 1,000.
The two walked into the cinema and found that most of them were parents who brought their children to watch the movie, and then there were some young couples, popcorn and cola were standard, but now holding a raccoon doll to watch "Wars" is also standard.
"Would you like one?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Of course."
"Who do you want to take with you, spiced, spicy or lamb kebabs?"
"Spicy is very mischievous, often runs to scare me awake, mutton skewers are a troublemaker, has gnawed my three pairs of shoes, I want five spices, she is a girl, the most obedient." Monroe said.
Jiang Hao paid for a raccoon doll Wuxiang, Monroe happily hugged it, and the two walked into the cinema.
After the movie was released, the whole movie theater rang out with children's laughter from time to time, children of the same age, cute raccoons, freedom without parental control, courage and wit when fighting gangsters, let children enter their own dreams, crazy fantasy if it was how cool it would be.
The later meaning of the word "cool" has not yet appeared, and now it only represents cold.
But in the film, every time the little boy Kevin successfully defeats a robber, he will shout that it is really "cool", and when the three little raccoons defeat the robbers, he will also praise it for being cool, which gives the word a new meaning.
Cool, in Raccoon Wars, represents the meaning of cold, powerful, and handsome.
After watching the film, the children shouted, "It's so cool!" ”
The first batch of children who have seen the movie will go back and brag to their friends about how good this movie is and how cool it is, so that those children who have not gone to the cinema have an extremely strong desire to watch the movie, and they will go home and tell their parents that they hope to go to the cinema to see this movie.
Christmas is originally a joyous holiday, and how can parents refuse their children's small requests.
Then the whole family should be mobilized.
That's it
There were several shows on the first day, and there were still some empty seats, and the attendance rate could reach about 7 or 80, which is already a high number of viewers. But from the next day, the number was 100, from day to night, all of them were 100, and there were still many parents waiting with their children outside.
It can't be helped, these are all from the tap water of the children who watched the movie on the first day.
Warner was excited.
Hall Films was excited.
Theaters are also excited.
Warner's efforts to rein in the momentum were brought under control by adding more than 300 theaters, and many critics wrote that this was the first time since the Great Depression of 1945 that audiences lined up at the door to see a movie.
"It is said that movies have entered a cold winter period and will not have the pomp and circumstance of the twenties, thirties and forties, but Jon Hall has broken this spell and made movies come alive again, so that those who watch TV at home are willing to spend money to enter the cinema, and this is why, because he has grasped the pulse of the movie and positioned it accurately."
"There are more and more ways to entertain nowadays, and many people say that TV opportunities are gradually replacing the status of movies, maybe this is really the case, but not all of them, movies and TV are two different art forms after all, as long as you find a position, you can completely pull people out of the house."
"According to my prediction of this event, the future holidays will be the best period for the film industry, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc., can be shown in relative genres."
"There is also audience positioning, in the past, we all thought that adults were the main consumers, but from "Wars", it can be seen that children are also the main consumers, and they can influence their parents, they are simple-minded, and they love their favorite things even more, as long as you catch one of them, you will find that you have caught their family."
"Jon Hall, a well-known writer, a successful film screenwriter and director, his directing ability is first-class, and his ability to capture the audience is superb."
Monroe sat in Jiang Hao's arms, holding the newspaper and reading it word by word, and turned to Jiang Hao here: "Those film critics praised you fiercely, they said that you knocked on the cracks in the ice of the movie, let a touch of sunshine shine in, and said that you will be the pioneer of the new century of film." ”
Jiang Hao shrugged, "What they said is very pertinent. ”
Monroe giggled and fell into Jiang Hao's arms, "Jon, can you be humble, I'm ashamed to be so close to you." ”
"No, it seems that you are still not too close to me, and when it becomes negative, you will deeply agree with my opinion."
"Ahh
Monroe screamed, and the two of them collapsed on the couch and fought.
"Suzu Bell Bell ~~"
The phone rang suddenly, the movements of the two people froze, and Monroe was lying on Jiang Hao at this time, reaching out and grabbing the phone and putting it in Jiang Hao's ear.
"Hey, who?"
"It's me, Connor."
"Is there anything going on, Mr. General Manager?" Jiang Hao teased.
"Yes, Your Excellency Chairman, there is good news, we have received a reply from the Golden Globe Organizing Committee, and our "Wars 1" has been nominated."
Monroe was on Jiang Hao, and when she heard this, her ears immediately stood up, her eyes shot a shiny light, and her two thighs were clamped unconsciously.
"What are the nominations?" Jiang Hao also became interested and asked.
He had asked the company to apply for the Golden Globe and Oscars and other awards, and winning awards is very important for a film and a company, directors, screenwriters and actors, and in these years, fame is money.
"Nominated for Best Picture in a Musical/Comedy, Best Actress in a Musical/Comedy." Connor Road.
Jiang Hao felt that Monroe's whole body was shaking, and the clamp was tighter.
Although it is only a nomination, it is only in the special comedy category, but this is already a very high gift for a newcomer.
"Where's Oscar?" Jiang Hao asked.
"The Oscars haven't come out yet, but it doesn't feel like it's going to be nominated, and you know the people at the academy who prefer something serious and professional." Connor Road.
Indeed, "Wars" has a good box office, but the plot is too simple, it is just a popcorn movie, to put it bluntly, it is not high enough, and the Oscars are not worth it at all.
That's it, Jiang Hao was already very pleasantly surprised.
After hanging up the phone, Monroe's face flushed with excitement, kissed Jiang Hao's chest hard, and screamed from her mouth, "Jon Jon, I've been nominated for Best Actress, I've been nominated, ah~~." ”
She was so excited that she felt like she was going to faint.
The two returned to New York from Miami, Jiang Hao came to the company, began to arrange work for the new year, after settling the accounts, the company lost 3 million, and the bank loan was 3 million, but it didn't matter, the income was floating outside, the total box office of Raccoon Wars 1 was 23 million, and now Raccoon 2 has been released for half a month, and it has reached 26 million, an absolute hit film, although the number of moviegoers has declined, it still occupies the first place in the weekly ranking, and experts expect that Raccoon 2 is expected to reach more than 40 million.
The first thing at the beginning of the year, send out red envelopes, Jiang Hao prepared a relatively equal red envelope for everyone, the company has more than 100 people, as little as a few hundred or more than tens of thousands, and sent out more than 200,000 at once, the company reveres Jiang Hao No, no, no, you know, this is the company's additional expenditure, Jiang Hao is the largest shareholder, which is equivalent to taking money out of his own pocket.
"Okay, you've got the bonus, it's going to be a busier year this year, everyone has to work hard, and I'm sure you'll get more bonuses next year than this year." Jiang Hao raised his glass happily and said.
"Good!!"
"Long live the boss!"
The crowd cheered.
took my money, naturally he wanted to sell me death, Jiang Hao immediately arranged work, the crew of "Passion Like Fire" was officially established, and now he will rush to Chicago to prepare for filming, and the other actors are in place.
He was ready to take Monroe to the Golden Globe Awards ceremony and flew directly to Chicago to start filming with enthusiasm.
